trees it's a if you've been out there at all maybe you have it's a 25 foot paved Street it's a street it's a public road and all that but it's not a street and at one time in its history it actually connected to what with then was Windy Hill and as Windy Hill got developed and went under the railroad track it went away and so it's been cut off and so part of the project here is for us to reconstitute it so as rusty said here's our re of vol p and I thought it was a good idea to be able to see this from 30,000 ft you can see how the project lays in our effort to try to put the project in there and make it match up with with everything and it it kind of does and I'll get down a little closer so as rusty said we'll start with Hillside Avenue and work our way down cob County does control from I'm going to say it this way the the building that's on the far left upper corner um I will say this and I'm so somebody's going to ask the question they in the Planning Commission we met with Mr fer a number of times and and worked with him to try to see if we couldn't figure out a way to help have him incorporate his property into into this project and it just didn't come together um he wanted to keep owning his building and so uh we it came to a point where we needed to to move on and we did but basically from his corner of his property all the way to Davis we've been in contact with Cobb County and we will work with them on what we need to do to improve Hillside the way we will have to improve Davis Drive as we go through so that's in that's in the works and that will be done with Cobb County in conjunction with the city and then as I said Davis strive this is the best way to see you can see we will reconstitute Davis drive from Hillside all the way to Wendy Hill have a full SE intersection red light there that will coordinate with what's happening at Atlanta Avenue I mean Atlanta Road and so that street will get reconstituted down and connected into into Wendy Hill and then make the internal improvements and one of the things that that the staff was really really pushing for was if I go back think about it this way um if you look at the streets and the grid that's here

it's prepared so that one day whether the city ends up incorporating it where the county moves forward with it the property to the north of this could get redeveloped and the Streets Could connect and it could keep going so that street pattern was set up and that was a large part of what the staff was asking us to do and so I think that that will occur and then quickly I'll just give you some perspective um we had these renderings done so you get a little sense of how this really fits in here again I will say as I said to the Planning Commission don't pay attention to the 30,000 foot building that is not something that the city's we just put a building on there we just came up with a building our Architects to show you what it could be and then you can see our two buildings the two um garage with the Carriage Houses above them next to Dixie and then the town homes in the back this is looking North Northwest from Wendy Hill again from that perspective and then here there's next two slides I really thought this was important I want you to see where the parking deck is it's a what we call a slip deck and part of it is actually buried and so the only piece as I look at this from this direction looking back towards Belmont will come here and then pay attention to the top left hand side of the middle of that that that uh drawing the deck's just kind of gone away and that's because the deck is submerged in the ground and so from Hillside or from Dixie or any of those um areas it doesn't look like the there's a deck there it's actually below grade so you'll enter at the bottom on on Dixie we'll go back one you'll enter at the bottom it's off the picture here kind of in the middle of the deck and that's the only way to get in and out of there and then you go to the top and you enter the top so from being on the on the ground and walking you won't perceive that this deck is even there thought that was really important and then lastly I'll just share with you sort of what is it that we were actually bringing as as the condition some of the conditions put upon us things that you wanted in terms of quality this project is being patterned after a project that's actually under under construction underdevelopment we're about it's open today um this one is incoming and this

building is very much patterned after this building this is brand new we just opened it and it was patterned after our project we did a number of years ago in the city off of Huff Road and this is the finished product so I wanted you to see these elevations so you'd understand the quality of what we're trying to bring to to Smyrna amenities we're we're crazy about our amenities we we we really feel like they needed Resort Style not just a swimming pool and that sort of thing and you'll see that quality and we'll bring that to this project to the city then from an interior perspective um again we sort of feel like we want to bring um the highest quality a product to our residents and then give them amenity spaces that they can use themselves lounges cyber lounges this is particular one was an area where this was where the Uber Lounge was you can sit and wait for your Uber and that kind of thing and you can see this feels like walking into a first class resort and that's exactly what we would intend to do here and then from an interior's perspective had no problems with the conditions because this is what we do every day um the conditions you see in this unit and the next one the only thing I said I'll tell you is the only thing that's not standard is the 2x4s that you see on the wall back there that's a decorator to other than that these are the standard finishes for our units this is what we do every day 10-ft ceilings and these kind of quality levels and then lastly I would tell you that um it was clear to us and looking at your future plans and what you expected and talking with the staff and you that the streets Scapes were hugely important and they've always been important to us this is what we do this kind of streetcape and so we're we're very excited about what your your expectations are and for what we do and this is the kind of streetcape because this is where the human beings that are either visiting or living with us are first going to touch our product and be in your city so I offer that this this is what we will bring to this project and with that I'll ask any questions you might have any questions of Mr Maguire thank you sir uh for the presentation and for your work with uh with not only staff but us um it looks like a a great product what is the uh

if approved tonight what is the timeline um I love this asked that question to the Planning Commission and was great because your staff gave us the answer which was depending on the quality of your plans produced by your engineer you know six to eight weeks we could be have a permit in our hands and so we after tonight if we get approved by you guys we'll go to work fast and furiously so what that says to us is if we can do it and get it done well and do work with your team quickly we can be in the ground in April it's about a two-year development from the time we start to the time we finish that's that would be our goal it's it's aggressive but we're want we want to be aggressive we'd like to get this done any uh any I'm sure you do what's the the price point on the overall project uh do I have to say that on the record because I'm afraid you're Tax Commissioner will hear it but uh close to $80 million yeah huge investment it's a huge investment and the name of the it'll be the heights at smrna okay I saw Smyrna Heights and we have a A Very Old Guard neighborhood I'm proud to have in w three known as smna Heights so I curious thank you any other questions just a comment the presentation is one of the best ones we've seen in a long time I really appreciate the detail and individuals are helpful right particularly for residents so they can understand the quality of the project and what it'll Al be look like thank you appreciate in the History part there is fascinating too really your point was well taken about the area north of the project right who knows what happens in the future there with the new traffic light be able to access Windy Hill going east and it's it's a good addition to the area it's great land planning and your staff again was um you know adamant that we make sure that we allow that future development to keep going so it was it was a win-win for everybody Mr Oglesby yeah there's a uh on the other side of those trees is a very difficult part three if your golf games like mine played it loved it we'll do it so as far it looks like the garage is there though right yep so if you have bad golf game which a lot of people do is there any kind of protection there or how does that work you know um if we're talking I'm

we'll go back at the site plan let's go back I bet you weren't anticipating that question where yeah you're talking about those two buildings there and the ones in the back back there yeah the The Carriage homes in particular are six garages with two units above the each of them and so those six garages two of them obviously will go to the two residents that live above them okay and the rest of them are open okay yeah they're open to whoever wants to pay us the most for them okay for their golf carts or their cars any other questions I um I would like to just say yeah thank you for that presentation it was amazing so you're welcome all right thank you thank you this is a public hearing we'll go ahead and open that up now if there's anybody here who wishes to speak for or against this item if you'll come up now and be sworn in by our City attorney all right seeing none we'll close the public hearing and that
