PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Mayor: Thank you. Alright Councilmember’s you have in your packets or somewhere you have the minutes of the September 9 th and 23 rd meetings and I’ll entertain a motion in that regard.
Mr. Curtis: Mr. Mayor I’d like to make a motion in that regard.
Mayor: Yes Sir Mr. Curtis.
Mr. Curtis: I’d like to make a motion in that regard. I’d like to make a motion that we not pass these not accept these as written and look at them again at a future date when we have had time to review them. I have several pieces that I’d like to review with the Staff and make corrections and I don’t what everyone else’s interest have been but I would like to do that I would like to have that opportunity.
Mayor: Ok well that is a motion do I hear a second?
Ms Sanders: I’ll second that.
Mayor: Thank you Ms Sanders. Alright I don’t believe that is out of order I think we can approve these anytime we are ready can’t we Mr. Parliamentarian?
Mr. Holmes: Yes Sir you can.
Mayor: Alright then that is a good motion and any discussion? Hearing none I’ll call for the vote, all in favor signify by saying aye, opposed no, aye’s have it we will wait and carefully review especially now that you have peaked my curiosity. Alright you do have your monthly reports we actually have them with us this evening and I haven’t had a chance to review them but thank you gentlemen for us and preparing them for us. I know it takes time and it sort of keeps us in touch with what is going on in your departments and we appreciate that.
CITIZEN COMMENTS:
Mayor: This is the portion of our program where we invite citizen comments and I don’t see anyone on the agenda and we didn’t have anyone sign up so I guess no one wants to comment to us this month so we will move on.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT:
Mayor: Ah but the City Administrator I know he wants to comment he wants to give us a brief but yet thorough report I’m sure. Mr. Hawes.
Mr. Hawes: Yes Mayor and Council first of all I want to give an update on the Finance Director Position. We have advertised the position in The Greenville News and online with the Municipal Association. I will be reviewing applications through early November. I do expect to have a new person on board by the beginning of the New Year that is our goal to hire at that time frame. Our Interim Finance Director is familiarizing herself with the intricacies of the City’s finances and is doing quite well in that right now. She is working closely with the Accounts Payable and Receivable Clerks finishing ledger issues and the annual audit. We should have that audit presentation at the November Business Meeting. With regards to the Amphitheater access road the new access road at the rear of Heritage Park at the Amphitheater entrance will be completed in the next few days. It will be used for egress from the lower parking lots for the first time tomorrow night at the Stained concert at the Park. This will offer better traffic flow at Heritage Park for all events. Way findings signs, such as to I-385 and to Woodruff Road, will make their debut along Howard Road, Bryson Road, Highway 14 and Highway 417. The Davenport Road Project, Engineering Consultants have begun the process of acquiring the necessary slope easements for the construction of this project. Homeowners have been contacted individually to explain their particular site specifications. Overall offsite topographical changes will be minimal. With a smooth slope easement process we are planning to let bids in late winter and begin construction in early spring. Also, the new three way stops at three locations on Davenport have been implemented and we will be conducting a speed study post installation shortly. The same goes for Brentwood Way where three way stops were installed in the same time frame. Also want to mention a letter that our Fire Chief received regarding a service call that he had at Green Hill Drive which is in our Fire District. I’m going to read just a little excerpt from it just to give an idea of people’s impression of our Fire Department. Dear Fire Chief Major this is to express the appreciation and thanks of the property owners residing on Green Hill Drive for the efficient and effective emergency service provided in connection with the fire at 27 Green Hill Drive early morning Wednesday, October 8, 2008. In such an emergency our situation is complicated by the fact that the water supply for each resident is provided only from private wells this renders the job of fire protection particularly difficult. We understand that several teams and fire stations were dispatched and were active in fighting the fire please extend our appreciation and thanks to them. Even though they were from different locations as each crew of Fireman arrived they immediately went to work as though they had trained together for years. They can be proud of the coordination and cooperation among them and for their professionalism. They also appreciate, the letter goes on mentioning as well, Simpsonville Police Officers and how they handle traffic for ingress and egress of the fire engines and a number of other support services beyond the scene. So I just wanted to let you all be aware of this letter of appreciation to our department. Also event information coming up, the next meeting of City Council is our Workshop Meeting on October 28th. Of course Goblin Fest is 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm at Heritage Park on October 31 st . Our next Business Meeting of City Council is scheduled for November 11 th which is Veterans Day and City Staff typically has that day off and I don’t know if City Council wishes to meet on Veterans Day or not. If not, I would suggest November 10 th which is the Monday prior.
Mayor: Perhaps this would be a good opportunity for you to explain to everyone why we are meeting on Monday this month too. For the record as I have heard people say.
Mr. Hawes: Oh absolutely because this is the first stand alone show at the Amphitheater that uses outside promoters a number of City Council Members indicated their interest in seeing exactly how that show went and being involved which I agree 100 percent that it should be observed and City Council should be involved. So that is the reason City Council decided to hold this meeting one day early so that they could be involved in the business of the City as per their charge.
Mayor: Good I just wanted to be sure everyone knew, everyone out there, understood why were doing this.
Mr. Hawes: Certainly
Mayor: Well we’ll talk about that Monday meeting we actually got another Workshop Meeting before that time so we can discuss that then.
Mr. Hawes: That is correct.
Mayor: If that is ok? Is that your report?
Mr. Hawes: That concludes my report Sir.
Mayor: Thank you Sir. Alright now it is time for City Council to comment on your comments or ask questions or perhaps say whatever is on their mind. Ah Ms Bagwell, what a surprise.
COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Ms Bagwell: Mr. Hawes could you please give us an update on the property on Cox Street that we have discussed prior to?
Mr. Hawes: Yes Mam we have present through the work of GCRA an agreement for the property owner to allow GCRA to fund the removal of that house. We just want to make sure everything is a go before we actually present it, we told them that we have it and we are just finalizing a couple of issues and we will present him with that agreement.
Ms Bagwell: Do we have any idea when this might take place?
Mr. Hawes: Should occur I would say within one month of when the agreement is signed because GCRA can mobilize fairly quickly.
Ms Bagwell: Ok thank you.
Mayor: Ok anyone else? Wow, maybe we ought to meet on Monday evening more often. Alright hearing no other comments, I would like to say that the crosswalks the long awaited crosswalks do look mighty good and I did receive a phone call as you might expect from one of the Downtown Merchants on Saturday and they were not happy that we were blocking traffic to their business again. I don’t know what we could have done differently but just to make you aware of that and just to let folks to know that we are concerned about those sorts of things and try to be considerate but sometimes you just got to do what you’ve got to do so I apologize to those folks. Alright next on the agenda is new business, Mr. Hawes tell us about a Resolution Regarding our Appointments to Boards and Commissions.
NEW BUSINESS:
Mr. Hawes: Yes Sir Mayor and Council what you have in your packets is a Council policy per the request of City Council regarding Appointments to Boards and Commissions clarification of that we discussed this at the Workshop meeting. It clarifies the time frame and the procedures involved in identifying qualified personnel or qualified applicants for appointments to Boards and Commissions. It states that there will be an advertisement period in September actually now obviously that time frame has passed but were it implemented there would be an advertisement immediately applied here because the time frame of the policy has passed but certainly going forward year to year that would be the time frame where an advertisement identifying the need for applications and explaining where to pick an application up and how to fill them out and so forth and also specifics of posting on the City’s website. Also there is some allowance for applications to be considered were they to fall a day or somewhere in that range late it is really a discretionary aspect which the current policy did not have and we wanted to leave that up to the Councils discretion in this policy. It also identifies the specific time which all appointments for positions will be made and that is the second Tuesday of December and it identifies that newly appointed members will take office the first meeting of the Board or Commission after January 1. It provides some stipulations regarding vacancies and I believe we discussed that at the previous meeting and that is where we will advertise again in a specific time frame following the vacancy the first week of the month immediately following the month of the vacancy and it is just a much clearer policy overall. It identifies the term and how a request for reappointment must be made and so forth so it is a good clear policy and I think it is what City Council was looking for.
Mayor: Thank you Mr. Hawes. I’ll entertain a motion so that we can discuss this if we feel the need. Ms Bagwell.
Ms Bagwell: I move that we accept the Policy on Appointments to Boards and Commissions as presented by Staff.
Mayor: Thank you Ms Bagwell. Do I hear a second?
Mr. Curtis: Second.
Mayor: Thank you Mr. Curtis with a second. Any discussion? Well I do have a question? It is not a big deal I would just like some explanation, under powers and duties it list several things that are pretty broad in scope that I think describes what the Planning Commission does.
Mr. Hawes: I think you are looking at the wrong document.
Mr. Holmes: You are looking at the Ordinance that we haven’t gotten to this is just the policy on how you fill vacancies to your Boards and Commissions. The Ordinance that we are proposing to you is going to come up a little bit later in the agenda.
Mr. Hawes: That is correct.
Mayor: What does that say right there at the top of that?
Ms Bagwell: City of Simpsonville South Carolina
Mayor: No
Ms Bagwell: It is the Ordinance (inaudible)
Mayor: Regarding City Planning Commission (inaudible). Ok thank you very much Mr. Holmes for anticipating the question that I may have had regarding something. I will have questions later. Alright does anyone else have anything they would like to say about this or are you scared to now? Ms Bagwell.
Ms Bagwell: I actually do have a question Mr. Hawes the only concern that I have is I know there have been times the second meeting of December we do not meet it may fall Christmas may fall on that Holiday or Christmas Eve whichever the case is should we put in there or should we just know that we can make that change if we were to?
Mr. Hawes: It is actually the second week it is the first meeting it is the Business Meeting.
Mr. Holmes: It is the second Tuesday.
Ms Bagwell: The second Tuesday in December ok sorry the first meeting.
Mr. Hawes: Normally we will have that clear.
Ms Bagwell: Thank you it was just a misunderstanding.
Mayor: Anyone else? Just for the record I don’t have the proper document that is one of the reasons I was confused. Alright anyone else have any comments or questions or whatever? Alright and this requires a resolutions. Okay is your motion to accept the proposal for a resolution?
Ms Bagwell: That is correct as proposed by Counsel.
Mayor: Alright I just wanted to make sure that I got it right.
Ms Bagwell: You did.
Mayor: Hearing no further discussion I’ll call for the vote all in favor signify by saying aye, opposed no, aye’s have it the resolution is adopted.
Mr. Hawes: For clarification Mayor.
Mayor: Yes
Mr. Hawes: We will advertise that immediately because it says in September and we are now into October so we will advertise that immediately.
Mayor: Thank you. Alright now Mr. Hawes tell us about the Ordinances of first reading begin with the Design Review Ordinance.
Mr. Hawes: Yes Sir Mayor and Council you all have been privy to a number of discussions regarding this Design Review Ordinance conducted by the Planning Director, David Dyrhaug, at the last meeting two proposals were shown proposal A and proposal B. The second one really seemed to gather a consensus of opinion from the discussions that I heard and this first reading is first reading of that second document Alternative B. Now you don’t have that document in here because it has been supplied to you previously.
Mayor: Ok that explains why I can’t find it.
Mr. Hawes: Right it was fairly thick document and rather than print it out five times so forth that is why we didn’t print it but it was supplied. The Ordinance was less stringent than the original Design Review Standards and Staff felt that it was a very appropriate level of regulation in a number of ways. When David Dyrhaug comes back if it were to pass on first reading here he can give you a full overview of the specifics of that if you would like to hear them again before second reading. Rather than me go into the overview and every specific that we covered during the Workshop I’ll be glad to answer questions that you have at any time.
Mayor: Where is Mr. Dyrhaug?
Mr. Hawes: He is on maternity leave.
Mayor: I didn’t notice that about him.
Mr. Hawes: Family leave.
Mayor: Ok thank you. Congratulations. Personally I think it would be a good idea to wait and it is not something that is critical right now I don’t think and I think we would all have a little more time to review and I know I have some more questions for Mr. Dyrhaug after I review it a little bit so if no one has any objections to that I’m not even going to call for a motion. Well let me do it this way, if anyone would like to address it tonight make a motion. Alright hearing none we will just postpone this until at least our Workshop Meeting. Alright thank you Mr. Hawes. Alright AXZ-2008-08.
Mr. Hawes: AXZ-2008-08 is the Annexation and Zoning of City Property at Howard Road as discussed at the Workshop Session previously. This particular property is land that was acquired by the City. It is contiguous with City property at Heritage Park. It is being used currently as a site where the rear access to Heritage Park basically bisects the property. The property is envisioned through the PD process to be PD in the City as a location for additional trails for Heritage Park, a meadow for parking for Heritage Park not to be paved just a grassed meadow area for additional or overflow parking along the road. The road will have a sidewalk so that you will have direct access into the park for activities at the park from that parking area. Also as a location for the tub grinder apparatus that would be located on approximately three acres almost centered on the particular subject property as shown in your attachment number two AXZ-2008-08. The parking lot would occupy approximately twelve acres the wood chipping facility would be approximately three acres and the remaining twenty acres are envisioned for a walking trail or bike trail or combined trail area and we will be working with the Parks and Recreation Department of the State of South Carolina to identify optimal ways to use that property. This particular rezoning is a necessity as it will be coming into the City through annexation by action of Council so therefore it has to zoned something in the City and PD was the most appropriate use because it is a mixed use parcel in Staffs opinion. This particular proposal was seen by the Planning Commission one week ago and they passed on, approved it unanimously. Mayor: Ok I’ll entertain a motion in that regard. Mr. Larson.
Mr. Larson: Yes I make a motion that we approve AXZ-2008-08 The Annexation and Zoning of City Property at Howard Road.
Mayor: Thank you, Mr. Larson. Do I hear a second?
Mr. Garrett: Second.
Mayor: Mr. Garrett seconds. Thank you, Mr. Garrett. Any discussion? Alright hearing no discussion Mr. Larson
Mr. Larson: I just had a quick question after the upgrades have been done the parking area, the grinder; the three acre walking trail how much land is still left that could be used for something else?
Mr. Hawes: About twenty acres.
Mr. Larson: Any ideas on what might or might not be?
Mr. Hawes: Well that is probably where the trails would go that is what is envisioned because the twenty acres that are left are relatively wooded and they have a stream that cuts through. It’s a very nice natural area, it has very good topography a little hill and dale so it would be good walking trails or bike trails, mountain biking.
Mr. Larson: Thank you.
Mayor: We are limited only by your imagination.
Mr. Larson: Skateboard.
Mayor: No we are limited more than that. Alright anyone else have any comments? Alright I will remind Council this is first reading of two so I’ll call for the vote all in favor signify by saying aye, opposed no, aye’s have it. It is unanimous and it does pass on the first reading. Alright Mr. Hawes 2008-09 Regarding the Planning Commission I believe that is the one that I referred to earlier.
Mr. Hawes: Yes Sir
Mayor: Because I’m always ahead.
Mr. Hawes: This is an ordinance to amend the City Code regarding the City Planning Commission’s membership term of office and various items related thereto. This particular ordinance does amend the existing City Code regarding the Planning Commission. First of all membership to give you a run down and we did cover this to some extent at the Workshop but to give you a quick rundown it identifies that the Planning Commission shall consist of seven members, there shall be certain qualifications for the Office specifically professional, career knowledge, Community, concern for future welfare of the City these are all aspects of a good Planning Commissioner where they have indicated at least one of those or more of those criteria. Obviously members shall represent a broad cross section of interest and concerns within the City and that is a holdover from our existing ordinance because you want diversity as much as you can on the Planning Commission certainly not to be just one specific type or approach in philosophy. This does identify that the Planning Commissioner shall be on the Board for four years and shall have (inaudible) terms. It describes vacancies and how they will be filled for the remainder of the expired term. It also adds some stipulation regarding removal from the Office from the Board by City Council for a number of outlined specific reasons violation of ethics, absences, performance, conduct, behavior that is disorderly or detrimental to the Planning Commission and the professionalism of the Planning Commission. Some other specific criteria that certainly you all read and are familiar with it talks about functions, duties, powers of the Planning Commission to recommend for adoption to City Council implementation of plans and programs, zoning and land use specifics that are brought before them of course the Comprehensive Plan, Official Map, Landscaping Ordinance and recommendations of policies or procedures. Again these are all in a recommendation approach or capacity the rest of the ordinance is specific that in a subsection, section or clause that is found incompatible with the others will not affect the totality of the ordinance. So that is what you have before you right now.
Mayor: Alright that is a very good explanation and I appreciate that and somebody is anxious to make a motion. So I’ll entertain a motion in this regard. Mr. Curtis.
Mr. Curtis: Mr. Mayor so that we can discuss it I’ll make a motion that we pass Ordinance 2008-09 Regarding Planning Commission.
Mayor: Thank you Mr. Curtis. Do I hear a second?
Mr. Bridges: Second.
Mayor: Thank you Mr. Bridges. I have a motion and a second now discussion. Ok well let me try this again, under power and duties this spells out some things that are pretty broad and pretty general and tells what their expected to do very good job I think until we get to number four and I just have got to ask most of them were general, broad we get to number four and it says a landscaping ordinance setting forth required planting, tree preservation, and other aesthetic considerations for land and structures why did we get so specific on that one general area that just doesn’t seem to fit with all these other more broad duties? Are we trying to get a Landscaping Board or something? I’m sorry.
Mr. Holmes: No Sir that is actually in the powers and duties that are set forth by State Statue and the South Carolina Code section 6-29-340B2D says a landscaping ordinance setting forth required planting; tree another words that is a power that State Statue gives to local Planning Commissions. Mayor: So it is that specific on that one particular thing?
Mr. Holmes: Yes Sir.
Mayor: Well I know we have landscaping requirements in our codes but that just seems to be so out of place but since you explained to me that it came from Columbia I’m not surprised.
Mr. Holmes: The only other explanation that I can give to you is because it does talk about a landscaping ordinance they wanted to say that ordinance may include all of these types of things.
Mayor: Ok thank you Sir. Alright well hearing no further discussion I’ll remind Council this is the first of two readings required and I’ll call for the vote all in favor signify by saying aye, opposed no, aye’s have it. It is unanimous thank you. Alright, Text Amendments Mr. Hawes you are getting all the good duty tonight aren’t you?
Mr. Hawes: Well we’ve discussed the Designed Review Ordinance so I think we are going to pass on that that actually has been passed on so we will with Councils approval move on to Old Business.
Mayor: We will move on to Old Business without Councils approval.
OLD BUSINESS:
Mayor: Alright old business ordinances for second reading, Mr. Hawes tell us about AXZ -2008-07.
Mr. Hawes: Yes Sir Mayor this the Harrison Bridge Road Annexation property that is on Harrison Bridge Road between Neely Fairy and Fairview Road at the corner of Hipps Road. The particular property is proposed to be zoned PD as a 59 acre tract with multiple uses. This particular proposal has been revised more than once due to the concerns of Staff. Staff had indicated to the Developer that there were some compatibility issues with some of the proposed originally proposed Commercial Development that was part of this project. The Developers went back considered the options and revised the plan such that it much more closely resembles what Staff feels is a good, natural evolvement I guess of that property. It is on a corridor that is two lane thoroughfare currently that is concern regarding traffic; however, the County has previously approved two separate commercial developments directly adjacent to this property. So were it to stay in the County it could actually be worse than the City annexing this with regards to the amount of traffic drawn and the non-compatible or less compatible uses that could be proposed. So we worked with the Developers what we have before you now is a really a first rate proposal City Council passed it at first reading. It was approved by the Planning Commission, I believe it was 5 to 1 or 5 to 4 one against recommending approval and with the types of mixed uses that are now proposed and the resolution of the pump station issues regarding sewer that is no longer needed the engineers went back work and found a way to do it without the pump station and the access issues resolved regarding left turn lanes we provided three lane section basically would be provided in front of the property it allay a number of Staff concerns and what we have now is a good quality development and a logical extension of the development in that area.
Mayor: Ok thank you Mr. Hawes. I’ll entertain a motion. Ms Bagwell.
Ms Bagwell: I move that we accept AXZ 2008-07 concerning the property on Harrison Bridge Road between Fairview Road and Hipps Road.
Mayor: Thank you Ms Bagwell. Do I hear a second? Mr. Larson.
Mr. Larson: Second.
Mayor: Mr. Larson seconds thank you Mr. Larson. Any discussion? Mr. Curtis.
Mr. Curtis: Just a couple of questions. There was some discussion about making a portion of Hipps Road one way I believe has that been dropped from this?
Mr. Hawes: Actually the County has indicated they are going to be upgrading Hipps Road so it is no longer necessary to made one way with this plan. The County is going to be resurfacing and widening.
Mr. Curtis: Alright do you know what the right of way is planned for the roadway directly in front of the property?
Mr. Hawes: I don’t have the specifics but I know that they are intending to widen the road such that it would have left turn lane through the front of the property.
Mr. Curtis: My concern is, we have we need additional, in the event that we were to need additional space beyond those three lanes that it not be prohibitively expensive for us to obtain that property. But you are not aware of what exactly the right of way is?
Mr. Hawes: Well the problem is that the road improvements have not been designed and when you get into design you determine the ditch to ditch area and the logical extension of the road another words if the ditch is very close on the North side which is the side opposite this property then more land would have to be taken on the property but that will come in the design stage this has only been site planned it has not been engineering designed so it would be very difficult for me to identify how much land must be preserved. The City does not have currently a right of way preservation ordinance along thoroughfares that is something that we have been working on and will be proposing to City Council shortly because we don’t want a situation like along West Georgia Road in the County where the subdivision was built up to a two lane road and you can’t hardly get a left turn lane in there. I understand your concern we will work with the Developer to make sure that all necessary land is available for future widening.
Mr. Curtis: That is all I have.
Mayor: Ok Mr. Larson.
Mr. Larson: What was the price range on the homes that they are proposing?
Mr. Hawes: You normally wouldn’t talk about price range but these are not starter homes.
Mr. Larson: Well the reason I ask is what is the breakeven point for the City as far as the revenue?
Mr. Hawes: Oh, this is above breakeven. Yes, this is I’m sorry in that context this is above breakeven on an annexation our breakeven is about 175.
Mr. Larson: Alright and then the distance from the Fire, Police, Public Works are they going to be able to adequately provide services there?
Mr. Hawes: Oh absolutely. The other the aspect of the breakeven point since this has a commercial component that lowers that breakeven point for the number of units because it has a commercial component on the front so it definitely breakeven is not a concern here.
Mr. Larson: So it will be beneficial economically for the City?
Mr. Hawes: Oh absolutely it is a strong economic (inaudible).
Mr. Larson: Ok thanks.
Mayor: Ok anyone else? Well I know I ‘m kind of dancing on the head of a pin here to but do we have any written assurance I know we have verbal assurance but do we have anything in writing do we have what sort of commitment do we have from the Developer regarding gravity flow sewer?
Mr. Hawes: I believe it is in the statement of intent now. We’ve got a representative of the (inaudible) if we could get a clarification from him.
Mayor: Absolutely. Come right up Mr. Representative state your name for the record please.
Mr. Dell: I’m Griffen Dell address is 300 East McAbee Avenue, Greenville, South Carolina. I am here because Mark Holmes could not be here tonight and I would like to address if I may Mr. Curtis’ question before about the road improvements, future widening and the Developer is providing an additional 15 feet if anything needs to be done in the future there or any kind of improvements to be done. The second question which goes to gravity sewer and I know that was the biggest issue and we have determined that a gravity sewer line can be constructed and we have that now in the revised statement of intent so it is in writing now and it is on page two down at the bottom.
Mayor: Well I saw that but that still doesn’t say that we guarantee that we are going to do and again I just want some pretty strong assurance that we are not going to need a pump station.
Mr. Hawes: Well the statement of intent is a legal document.
Mayor: Ok so this will cover that.
Mr. Hawes: Yes
Mr. Holmes: Mr. Mayor you may remember that early on there was talk about a lift station which was going to require Council to take certain positive steps which you are not being ask to take.
Mayor: Ok I just wanted to make sure that everybody is on notice and we all understood what is going on. Alright anyone else? Hearing no further discussion I’ll remind Council this is second and final reading and I’ll call for the vote all in favor signify by saying aye, opposed no, aye’s have it. It is unanimous again and it passes. So folks Ms Sanders I’ll entertain a motion.
Ms Sanders: I move that we adjourn.
Mayor: Thank you Ms Sanders. Do I hear a second?
Mr. Bridges: Second
Mayors: Mr. Bridges seconds all in favor signify by saying aye, opposed no, the aye’s have it we are adjourned in not quite record time but pretty good time I would say. Thank you all for coming.
Respectfully submitted,
Melinda Zeller City Clerk
