Reggie Smith, 1104 Chandler Avenue, Accessory building to exceed the maximum 40% allowed Mr. Reggie Smith stated that thrifty buildings delayed in ordering the size of the building I needed. I had the slab prepared. Since that time I moved to Oak Bowery. At the time the only people that could sell the building in the size that I needed where from Georgia. Since that time we have more selections of building dealers that now sell that building that I need. The slab is an eye sore and a safety hazard. I do not want to be an eye sore to the neighborhood with my cars projects. At the time I had the slab built the 40% ordinance was not existing.

Since the Council meeting on March 31, the issue has become both more contentious and complicated. The Council voted on September 1 to rescind their approval of the new zoning. However, the developer submitted their proposed plans for the site a day prior, which under a new state law, allows for the retail zoning to stand. The “time of application” l...

The Dahlonega City Hall was crowded on the evening of March 1st 2010. The seats were full, except for at the very front, and the standing room was filled almost out the door. The crowd, mostly made up of students, leaned in to hear as the voices of the City Council members faded in and out of the faltering sound system. The six City Council members and the mayor sat along a bench as if they were the judges at a hearing. Because of the ongoing discussions and the crowd, I thought I had arrived a few minutes late; but I was able to find a seat in the front two rows. Despite how packed the small room was there were plenty of empty seats in the front. I had thought the meeting was well on its way by the way conversation was going and apparently I was not the only one who shared this feeling. After a solid forty-five minutes of talking about parking laws and if there was a parking problem in the city, the mayor stood up and thanked everyone for coming. Most people took this as a sign that the meeting was over and started to pack up and leave. However this was just the meetings call to order. Following a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance the City Council meeting began.
The BHAC guidelines include requirements to maintaining and repairing original and historically significant materials and architectural features in Beacon Hill whenever possible and if this is not possible the BHAC requires that the new material “shall match the materials being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visible qualities.” The only exception that allows deviation from obtaining permission from for construction and alterations in Beacon Hill is if the City Building Commissioner certifies that an alternation, construction, or demolition is required in the interest of public safety because of an unsafe or dangerous condition with a building or other architectural feature on Beacon

Mr. Bell stated that he had not had time to read the latest proposed Solar Ordinance and was confused. Mr. Frederick explained that the Planning Board changes which were made to the ordinance at the last Planning Board meeting (9/22/16) were sent to the commissioners work session. Mr. Frederick said the commissioners made their changes and that is what is in front of you tonight. Mr. Bell stated that none of the changes the Planning Board worked on have been incorporated into this ordinance.
‘Oakland Landscaping’ requested plans for a brand new, modern building which would be used as the main office of the company.

John also mentioned he wanted open workspaces in order to promote creativity and teamwork. He asked that the design be presented in the format of floorplans, elevations and a 3-dimensional model which would be shown to the company’s ‘Board of Management’ for final approval.

Pacifico) is unaware of the letter sent to me twice, first via standard mail and then again by Certified mail, by the previous Property Manager, Mr. Steven Schlau. The letter accuses me of harassing the complainant’s by following them to the Garbage/Recycling Shed, following them around the parking lot, and threatening to go to the Colts Neck Police Department if I didn’t cease such actions. Again, these are false accusations that my husband and I unequivocally deny. It seems to me that the complainant’s believe that we should not be allowed outside of our unit or on the common elements when they are outside. If we are outside at the same time as they are, then per their viewpoint we are committing a crime. I reiterate, this is not fair. For the record, my husband and I had contacted the Colts Neck Police Department numerous times against each of the complainant’s long before Mr. Schlau sent his letter.

It uses a luffing crane, so an overhead protected walkway made of wooden boards was installed on Avenue Road. The main features of this can be seen in figure 6, where we see boards were placed on sloped metal scaffolding supported by vertical metal scaffolding in Jersey barriers on Avenue road. This pedestrian walkway cut 1 lane of traffic on Avenue Road since the original sidewalk was used for materials’ storage. To provide adequate lighting under the overhead protection, light bulbs have been installed. Overall, as seen in figure 6, this pedestrian walkway appears sturdy due to the Jersey barriers on the left, well maintained scaffolding that was rust free, and also provides adequate lighting and protects pedestrians. The downside of this is that vehicle congestion increased since 1 lane was removed, which was especially visible as we visited around 3:30 PM, when the extra lane would have reduced congestion. On the site’s south side, where pedestrian traffic was not as much of an issue, the sidewalk was used for storage without overhead protection. Jersey barriers were again used, but here they prevented cars from driving into the site. This cut traffic on Cumberland Ave. from 2 to 1 lanes. Deliveries also come in this side, which temporarily stops traffic as observed. When we were there, a delivery took several minutes and stopped cars, annoying drivers. Overall, Cumberland Avenue was
