CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA AUGUST 1, 1988

The special meeting of the City Council was held August 1, 1988 at 6:30 p.m. with Mayor Kelley presiding
and members present were Harold Cochran, John Dabney, G. W. Evans, and H. M. Kersey. Ronnie
Simmons was absent.

Motion was made by Harold Cochran to convene, seconded by John Dabney, motion carried.

Herman Smith, AT&S Mini Storage Warehouses, 4400 North Henry Boulevard, presented site plans and
building construction plans which have been approved by Henry County. He explained the drainpipe through
the middle of the site is a 36-inch underground storage pipe that drains into a 12-inch pipe to slow the flow
of water from his site onto adjacent property. Charles Barnett advised that Lewis Hurd, City Engineer, advises
that the 36-inch pipe should empty into a 15-inch pipe. Mr. Smith will make this change. In addition to the
36 inch underground storage pipe, the site design shows two detention ponds, one on the north west corner
at the rear of 114 Mann Boulevard and one on the west side at the rear of 103 Mann Boulevard. Mr. Smith
is to construct a retaining wall on the west and north sides of the City Cemetery and backfill between the wall
and the cemetery. Mr. Smith advised Council that he is installing a cypress privacy fence along the north
and west boundaries for the residents along Miller Road and Neal Boulevard. Chain link fencing with strips
will be used on the remainder of the property. Mr. Smith presented plans for 10 units of retail shops on the
south side of his property along North Henry Boulevard. Council agreed to allow Mr. Smith to go back to
work on the mini warehouse provided he continues to work on the silt and drainage problems. It was noted
that at the completion of this project, an occupancy permit will not be issued if all problems are not complete
to the City's specifications. Motion was made by Harold Cochran to approve building plans subject to Mr.
Smith following the conditions outlined by the Council, seconded by John Dabney, motion carried.
