sec 70-[ 96 Statement of purpose

The R- 2, multi- family residential district is designed to permit residential use of land with various types of multiple

dwellings and related uses. For good accessibility, this district shall be located adjacent to arterial and/ or collectorroads as described in r: Li 1 i3 of this Code. Public water and sewer shall be required. Any developments in this

district shall be designed to complement adjacent, existing or planned, single- family developments Various types andsizes of residential accommodations, for ownership or rental, would thereby be provided to meet the needs of the

different age and family groups in the community without overtaxing existing community facilities, utilities or services.

It is also the intention of this section to provide areas of sufficient size and allowing reasonable flexibility in design andorientation for the establishment of a structure or group of structures which include multiple dwellings designed in aplanned unit development of more than one building on a given site. The requirements of area, height, bulk, andplacement regulations as they are usually applicable to individual buildings and individual lots of record would incertain cases of large scale development have results affording less protection to the public health, safety and welfarethan if a measure of flexibility were permitted. The permitting of these planned unit developments as special andparticular land uses can, in certain cases, increase the desirability and convenience to the residents or occupants of

the planned unit development without causing adverse effects on adjoining properties. This type of development willpermit a creative approach to residential development. A planned unit development will provide for an efficient use of

land potentially resulting in more economical networks of streets and utilities thereby lowering housing and otherland development costs as well as enhancing the appearance of neighborhoods through the preservation of naturalfeatures and the provision of recreation areas and open space.

In creating this zoning district the county intends to encourage home ownership; increase the variety of dwelling typesin the housing market; and allow for innovative uses of real property which may not be suitable for development forother kinds of residential uses.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

Z17- 013 VARIANCE. OAKLAND PLANTATION PARTNERS, LLC, APPLICANT, has submitted anapplication for a variance to Lee County Code of Ordinances Section 70. 199 Single Family andDuplex developments requiring a 35 foot front setback and a 10 foot side setback; and requiringa distance of 20 feet between buildings on separate lots for purposes of developing a single

family detached residential gated community with a 35 foot setback on one of two roadfrontages; a 25 foot setback on second road frontage of interior corner lots; a five foot sidesetback and 10 feet between buildings on separate lots. Property is a 18. 52 acre tract zoned R- 2

Multi-family residential and is located on the northeast side of Oakland Parkway in land lot 230of the 2nd district, Lee County, Georgia.

Chairman Golden opened the public hearing and Chris Guarnieri read the agenda item.Responding to the Chairman' s inquiry regarding current zoning status, Marcia Studley

responded current R- 2 multi- family zoning was approved by the BOC September 20, 2004 and25

presented a map showing location across from proposed Greystone Apartments on OaklandParkway and next to Pool Brothers commercial development near The Groves residentialdevelopment. Responses to variance considerations mandated by ordinance were prepared by

staff as requested by the PC and found the following: the extraordinary and exceptionalconditional threshold was met by the topography and wetlands particular to this parcel; therewould be unnecessary hardship and relief caused no public harm. Pointing out R- 2 zoning

permitted single family, duplex, townhome, condo, apartments and PUD' s, she explained thedensity of the proposed 43 units on 18. 513 acres was significantly less than that permitted ( 2. 32units per acre proposed; 4 units per acre permitted). She added the R- 2 zoning also permitted

apartments at 12 units per acre. The private gated development proposed front setbacks of 35

feet on street fronted by dwelling and 25' was requested for the side road only for cornerinterior lots. The requested five foot side setback and distance between buildings would be

subject to fire and other department review for approval.

Bobby Donley stated no homes would front the side street subject to request of 25' setback.

Barry Carr stated the gated and private development was in response to demand for aged 50—55 plus. He pointed out the club house, open areas and greenspace and explained the homes

constructed of hardiplank, brick and/ or stucco would range in size from 1600 to 2600 square

feet. He explained a HOA would be created and price range would be about $ 135 per square

foot. When asked, he responded there was a possibility of gas and provided information

regarding a previously approved project ( it was a number of years ago; 90 units were proposed,location was proposed across the street where apartments were being constructed and project

was never built). Mr. Carr stated the current location ( across from the new apartment

development and being adjacent to new medical and commercial development) with proximityto residential was optimal for this development at this time and timing was everything.

Closing the public hearing, Chad Arnold made a MOTION to approve the plan and RECOMMENDAPPROVAL of the variance; with a second by second by Clay Griffith and vote was UNANIMOUSfor recommendation of APPROVAL.

ADMINISTATIVE HEARINGS

GD17- 008 GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, EMC ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC as agent forNORDSTAR, LLC has submitted an application for EASTHAMPTON SUBDIVISION for

Chris Guarnieri read the agenda item. Marcia Studley presented the current GDP and theprevious one approved by the Planning Commission December 18, 2012 ( expiring thisDecember). Due to significant changes in area, acreage, greenspace (size and location); number

of lots, streets, layout and managing member, staff recommended submission of a new GDPinstead of petition for extension of the existing one. Explaining density, lot width andgreenspace requirements for well and septic were met, the 60 foot rights of way as shown forditch section roads was not compliant with ordinance requirements.

You requested the General Election date, which I provided ( November 6). If the SPLOST expires in October 2018, it will

need to be place on the Primary ballot which is May 22, 2018 to prevent a lapse. By state law, any special election heldin conjunction with a statewide primary must be called at least 90 days prior. I would need all the information by earlyFebruary 2018 to meet that deadline.

Re: Proposed contract for the second half of 2017

Dear Sir or Madam:

Enclosed please find the proposed contract and budget that I have drafted for the 6 month period from

July 1 , 2017 to December 3 I , 2017.

The budget totals for this contract are precisely the same as they were in the previous contract. Thespreadsheets look different because the State Court of Sumter County is no longer included.

We appreciate Sumter County working with us to limit or eliminate our duties in the State Court;however, this is a work in progress and we do not know at the moment how involved we will be in State

Court. In any event, whatever contract( if any) we eventually enter into regarding State Court, it will bean independent contract and not included in our contract with all of the 6 counties of the Southwestern

Circuit.

46

Please review the proposed contract and budget and let me know whether or not you would like me to

come present it to your Commission. I will also be happy to answer any questions or address any issuesthat you may have at any time. Thank you for all of your support through the years.

Sincerely,

Samuel G. Merritt

ARTICLE X OVERTIME

Section 10.01 Policy

The County recognizes that circumstances may require employees to work in excess oftheir normal daily and/or weekly work schedule in order to meet operating requirements. The

County intends to establish controls in order to minimize such circumstances and assure thatsuch overtime work is scheduled and paid in accordance with County policy and applicableState and Federal Laws. Specifically, regulations of the Fair Labor Standards Act ( FLSA) mustbe followed. Any overtime must have the prior approval of the supervisor and be in accordancewith the approved annual budget.

Section 10.02 Application

This article applies to all exempt and non-exempt employees who are subject to these policies.

Section 10.03 Provisions

A. Non-exempt Employees

Hours worked in excess of forty ( 40) hours in a work week for non- public safetyemployees are considered overtime for pay purposes. Overtime for public safety

employees will be paid in accordance with the FLSA. For purposes of determining

overtime compensation, pay for vacation time, sick leave, holidays, etc., is not pay

for time worked and is therefore not considered as hours worked for purposes ofovertime computations. Pay for overtime hours worked shall be at the rate of oneand one-half times the employee's hourly rate of pay. Non- scheduled hours of work

not qualifying for overtime payment because of vacation or leave time falling withinthe same week shall be paid at the normal hourly rate of pay.

Revised March 2W I)

Fact Sheet #7: State and Local Governments Under the Fair Labor StandardsAct (FLSA)

This fact sheet provides general information concerning the application of the FLSA to State and localgovernment employees.

Characteristics

State and local government employers consist of those entities that are defined as public agencies by the FLSA.Public Agency" is defined to mean the Government of the United States; the government of a State or political

subdivision thereof; any agency of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State; or anyinterstate governmental agency. The public agency definition does not extend to private companies that areengaged in work activities normally performed by public employees.

Coverage

Section 3( s)( 1)( C) of the FLSA covers all public agency employees of a State, a political subdivision of a State,or an interstate government agency.

Requirements

The FLSA requires employers to:

pay all covered nonexempt employees, for all hours worked, at least the Federal minimum wage of7. 25 per hour effective July 24, 2009;

pay at least one and one-half times the employees' regular rates of pay for all hours worked over 40 inthe workweek;

comply with the youth employment standards; and

comply with the recordkeeping requirements

Youth Minimum Wage: The 1996 Amendments to the FLSA allow employers to pay a youth minimum wage ofnot less than $4.25 an hour to employees who are under 20 years of age during the first 90 consecutive calendardays after initial employment by their employer. The law contains certain protections for employees thatprohibit employers from displacing any employee in order to hire someone at the youth minimum wage.

Compensatory Time: Under certain prescribed conditions, employees of State or local government agenciesmay receive compensatory time off, at a rate of not less than one and one-half hours for each overtime hourworked, instead of cash overtime pay. Law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency response personnel andemployees engaged in seasonal activities may accrue up to 480 hours of comp time; all other state and localgovernment employees may accrue up to 240 hours. An employee must be permitted to use compensatory timeon the date requested unless doing so would" unduly disrupt" the operations of the agency.
