CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA NOVEMBER 12, 1984

The regular meeting of the Stockbridge City Council was held November 12, 1984 at 7:00 p.m. with Mayor
Kelley presiding and members present were Harold Cochran, G. W. Evans, Ross McMichael and Ronnie
Simmons.

Mayor Kelley announced that the City Election scheduled to be held December 1, 1984 would not be held
because all positions were unopposed.

Jim Risher, Henry County Planning and Zoning, presented an application for rezoning of property owned by
Jon C. Betts, James D. Woods, Kenneth G. Northrop and David Mickle from RA-200 to M-3. These 142
acres have approximately 1,200 feet of road frontage on Speer Road. The Henry County Planning Board
approved the application for rezoning. It was noted that if the City Council approved the M-3 zoning, the
developer would be responsible for providing water, sewerage, paving and streetlights. Motion was made
by Ronnie Simmons to approve M-3 zoning, seconded by Harold Cochran, motion carried.

W. A. Gardner advised Council that Powell Sign Company has requested a sign variance to construct
billboards on the above rezoned property along I-75 portion only. Motion was made by Ross McMichael to
approve variance, seconded by G. W. Evans, motion carried.

Charles Bryant, 138 East Atlanta Road, requested permission to have a tune-up shop at his residence. The
current zoning on his property is M-1 and he would qualify to have a garage type business at this location
but you cannot operate a business and live on the premises. In order for the Council to consider Mr. Bryant's
request, the Council will view the sight and get opinions from neighbors. Motion was made by Harold Cochran
to table decision until December 10, 1984 Council meeting, seconded by G. W. Evans, motion carried.

Mr. Horton requested permission to install a portable Bar-B-Que stand at Nite Owl #3 located at North Henry
Boulevard and Tye Street. The unit would be 18 feet in length with a steel bar-b-que pit on one end. It will
be underpinned with a decorative front. It will not be connected to City water and sewerage as these systems
are self-contained. Mayor Kelley advised Mr. Horton that the City has an ordinance prohibiting trailers and
before they consider a variance, to check the setback regulations for frontage and sidelines. Overhead power
lines need to be checked. Mr. Horton would also need to provide Council with proof that insurance would be
available on this type of unit.
Georgia Municipal Association plans to construct a new building in Atlanta near the Capitol for their general
office and for use by City governments when they have business at the Capitol. Each city will be billed
according to population 30 days prior to the beginning of their fiscal year. The City's portion will be $1,366.
Clerk to contact A. J. Welch, City Attorney, to verify that the City can legally participate. Motion was made
by Harold Cochran to pay this amount subject to approval by A. J. Welch, seconded by G. W. Evans, motion
carried.

The annual Christmas Parade will be held November 30, 1984 at 7;00 p.m. beginning at the Stockbridge
Baptist Church, ending on Berry Street. Motion was made by G. W. Evans to approve parade permit,
seconded by Harold Cochran, motion carried.

Susan Zacheri was denied a request to sell tropical plants at Quality markets parking lot. Motion for denial
was made by Harold Cochran, seconded by G. W. Evans, motion carried.

Mayor Kelley advised Council that the Henry County Board of Education has requested that the City accept
ownership and maintenance of the sewer line from the Henry County Junior High School on Mays Road to
the sewerage treatment plant. Motion was made by Harold Cochran to deny request, seconded by G. W.
Evans, motion carried. If school property and adjourning property is annexed into the City, the City Council
will reconsider ownership and maintenance of this sewerage line at that time.

It was noted that Frank Baker, Minet Check, has an old car parked at this site and Clerk advised to notify Mr.
Baker to remove this vehicle.

Motion was made by Ross McMichael to adopt a Resolution to approve the one-way detour routes for City
streets during bridge construction, seconded by Harold Cochran, motion carried.

Respectfully submitted,

Merle Manders R. G. Kelley
City Clerk Mayor
