REZ-2025-11 Comments
 
I am open to further discussion.  This is where I am starting with comments.
 
Potential Conditions
1.  Condition prohibiting access to Briarberry Drive and Quail Hollow.
2.  This is a request for ~719 acres of Light Manufacturing M-1.  Correctional Facilities, Transitional Care Facilities, and Kennels with outdoor runs should not be allowed.
3.  What if the use we are being given changes?
*   Should a change in use occur where additional transportation and/or water/sewer infrastructure upgrades are required the Developer will be responsible for the design, any acquisition of necessary right-of-way, relocation of utilities, and construction costs for the infrastructure improvements.
*   All lots shall front interior roads?
4.  Buffering is currently required along the northern, southern, and CON zoning boundaries
*   The typical required buffer is a 40&#8217; landscaped buffer or a 20&#8217; landscaped buffer with an opaque fence.
*   Additional buffering condition along northern R-10 and R-21 properties and southern R-1 properties &#8211; Range Rd and Skeet Range Rd
                                                              i.      Have they proposed anything?
                                                            ii.      My current recommendation is for a 200&#8217; undisturbed buffer.  
                                                          iii.      You could also do a condition about the buffer yard for property north of the stream or talk about berms, walls, or fencing.
5.  Leave the CON zoning as is vs. match to new boundary &#8211; either way we should specify this through a condition or in writing.
6.  Lighting located on the property shall be shielded and directed to avoid direct illumination of adjacent properties currently zoned R-10 or R-1.  
7.  Electromagnetic interference generated by uses of the property shall not be discernable on adjacent properties currently zoned R-10 or R-1.  
8.  Loudspeakers or paging systems located on the property shall be designed, installed, and used such that they are not heard at any abutting property line of a property zoned R-10 or R-1.
 
Please include the following in your staff report or attachments:
9.  The definition of M-1
10. DRI info
11. Scale comparison info
12. Use expectations &#8211; I know we have made an effort to have some confidentiality with the use.  Is this still the case?  If yes I think we should say something about the expected impacts like &#8211; low traffic generator, low water/sewer impacts expected, etc.
13. A use comparison chart &#8211; at least for C-C and M-1, if you can fit it without it being too much R-1, CON
14. Looks like a Georgia transmission (Power) line easement along the west of the subject property.  
15. In the future approved and recorded surveys will be required for the subject properties
16. For reference, wetlands, flood plain, river corridor
 
Other
17. Have they completed their letter of intent yet?
18. Do we have confirmation that they are not including the C-H portion on Val Tech?
19. There is a billboard along the southwestern portion of the property &#8211; 3550 Coleman Rd.  We also show a small shed on the western property.  Are there other structures on the subject properties?  
20. The future development map is not all supportive of M-1.  What is the applicants response to this issue?  I believe the buffering conditions could be helpful here.  

Thank you.
