Ald. Lanier asked the following questions:

What was the current use of the building? (It is coded as a private club.)
Is there a business operating there now (Yes)
Is it an event space that is trying to do more with this new designation? (The owners are in the process of selling the building to the applicant, who needs to convert it to an event venue)
Will the applicant have the ability to apply or go through the process to serve alcohol? (Yes)

Ald. Wilder asked Deputy City Attorney Jen Herman to explain what the good neighborhood agreements mean when working with people in the community.

Ald. Leggett expressed that he wanted to clarify that any use that was not permitted by the TC-1 or required a special use permit would need to come back for approval. (Yes) He further wanted to clarify that what the council was deciding was the keeping of the TC-2 designation but it is limited to the TC-1 uses plus the wedding venue. (Correct)

Ald. Miller Blakely thanked the applicant and stated that we really need a wedding venue. She further expressed that she wanted the people to know that this was a place where everybody would be able to rent if they wanted to use that space.

Ald. Wilder asked Mr. Yellin what his advice was for when they want to come back to receive their liquor license. Mr. Yellin responded.

Ald. Lanier stated that a caterer has the ability to serve spirits to their guests. She expressed how that was a good thing because that was different from the owners actually having their own license, and they would still have the ability to serve the guests. Ald. Lanier stated that this was good for the 2nd District, and she wished we could do something like this in the 1st District.

Mayor Johnson asked how recent the picture of the building was. He stated that it looked like there was some roof work that had to be done there. (Yes, there is some work to be done.) Mayor Johnson stated he was glad about this.

14. Petition of Josh Yellin on behalf of Orchard Group, Inc. for a Zoning Map Amendment of 0.32 acres at 912 Drayton Street (20044 20008) from TN-1 (Traditional Neighborhood-1) to TC-2 (Traditional Commercial-2) with Conditions in Aldermanic District 2 (26-002039-ZA).

Ald. Leggett moved to approve item #15, seconded by Ald. Wilder and Ald. Miller Blakely. The motion passed unanimously, 8-0-0. Ald. Bell was absent.

Ald. Leggett asked if the special use permit conflicts with what was passed at a previous meeting. City Manager Melder stated that it would not conflict with the council's action that was passed a few weeks ago to allow parking on both sides of the street.

Ald. Lanier asked about the number of patrons/capacity. Mr. Brackett noted that there would be a maximum of 80 theater attendees in addition to the regular staff that is needed. Ald. Lanier also asked about their hours of operation. Mr. Brackett explained.

Ald. Miller Blakely asked if the applicant's patrons were going to be allowed to park in the lot across the street from the building. Mr. Yellin responded. Ald. Miller Blakely stated she was looking forward to attending some of the plays.

16. Petition of Coleman Company, Inc. on behalf of Brookhaven Development, LLC for Fort Argyle Developers, LLC, and Chatham Sand, LLC for a Zoning Map Amendment at 0 Fort Argyle Road and 1150 Fort Argyle Road (11037 02002 and 21037 01001) to Rezone ~274.29 acres from R-A (Residential Agriculture - Chatham County) and RSF-6 (Residential Single Family – 6 City of Savannah) to Argyle Grove Planned Development (City of Savannah) to Allow a Residential, Commercial, and Mixed-use Development (26-001014-ZA).

Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Shabazz moved to close the zoning hearing for agenda item #16, seconded by Ald. Leggett. The motion passed unanimously, 8-0-0. Ald. Bell was absent.

Mayor Johnson noted that this item is only for first reading and that no action would be taken at this time. He stated that it would be wise for the petitioner to use this time to communicate with Ms. Hickey in the intervening time.

Ald. Miller Blakely asked Ms. Hickey to explain what she meant by "they gave you a president." She further asked if she was talking about a neighborhood president. (Yes)

Ald. Wilder asked Ms. Hickey how many years this property has been in her family. (Over 200 years.) She also asked if the property has been designated a historic area.

Ald. Lanier iterated to Ms. Hickey that her family had been out there 250 maybe plus years, and she was out there living her best life, and then, all of a sudden, this development is coming. She asked Ms. Hickey what type of barrier she was asking for. (100-foot buffer.) Ald. Lanier stated that, hopefully, there are some people here for Ms. Hickey to connect with to exchange information and start that conversation.

The zoning hearing was closed and then reopened to hear from the representative of the developers, Bryan Wardlaw.

Ald. Miller Blakely asked Mr. Wardlaw if he had a conversation with Ms. Hickey. (Yes) Ald. Miller Blakely stated that what Ms. Hickey is asking sounds real simple because it sounds like you all are going to invest a lot of funds in that area by giving us a lift station, maybe a fire department, and $500 per unit to our housing fund. If Ms. Hickey is just asking for a 100-foot barrier, then that should not be a problem.

Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Shabazz stated that it has been best practice for us to work with county residents who were very concerned about all of this development that has been taking place. She stated that we are really careful and have been successful with working with our counterparts out there in the county and with the developers. Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Shabazz asked that, as we continue to move along with this agreement, we take all that was talked about today into consideration. She expressed that when we come back to approve all of this, for sure, we would have it all worked out.

Ald. Wilder stated she was confident that the developer would work something out, whether it is a berm area or whatever is appropriate, because she is talking about her home and not a commercial.

Ald. Lanier stated that Savannah is growing up and out, and it is a wonderful thing. She stated that she knows the developers are excited about this opportunity to put their project out there, and she respects that. Ald. Lanier expressed that she wanted the developers to understand that people like Ms. Hickey and herself, whose families have been in this city for seven, eight, or nine generations, love our city so much, and we are trying to brace ourselves for this growth and development. She asked the developers to please be a little patient and understanding with people who have that kind of history in place. Ald. Lanier noted we do not require a 100-foot buffer between residential and residential, but Ms. Hickey wanted to make sure she was going to be protected. She further stated that we just want to make sure that the great project, that is coming and is what we really need in our area, is compatible with the people who are already there, and that the developer takes them into consideration as they make their plans. So, we could have a win-win in the end and embrace all of this great growth and development.
