being worse to all the

Speaker 1

0:26

circumstances.

1:09

March on your close in the last uh three years on the council.

1:16

This was one of the things that we have to saw this as a cash though.

1:25

We knew he was not on New Zealand.

1:34

Um he enjoyed everyone.

1:38

All the folks and that would be really truly felt wonderful.

1:50

This was that I think uh

Unassigned speaker

1:57

we

Speaker 1

1:58

only have to use uh great outside.

2:02

Um certainly so that we see all the last uh move down to I mean uh citizens here and uh just put a little gas uh those number here versus the city and I will sell this in all the uh I guess the very I think we think sending two applications for a television for the residents and I will be on I agree to be here on the side of the presentation, uh brand might be as far as find the story structure itself.

4:33

Don't allow it back to an unmade of historic television and top down to dealt with that having historic properties pattern without the original new full property and so we can still need to make the rest of the historic reservation.

Unassigned speaker

5:00

In a world that is constantly all places by people in the sense you are only um couple of items of the first is one thing to um for the two knowledge and five or three will be um so that here on the law in the 2000 uh disappearing curve further bank and downtown uh before downtown and road and down and downtown across the two uh uh I require to lose the house uh moving more cross down so uh forever um to do the same thing uh would uh say it's like one is um that's our 2342 uh give me on bring the bed down you can move in put it to the member of the uh landscape area curve is around the uh there you go uh so that's the Lord maybe pull that fits in the three areas with the bandwidth button out of the put a uh proof uh that the uh three number of big area uh the music uh loaded field and what we are uh uh say three um uh you can be a member really there's probably one members with only one type of uh maybe it's hugely technical technically overloaded it all that uh we want to be uh technically uh local um uh it's uh being on the sort of main one to see why the public slide on the one that here have uh here's probably uh got a few more uh very bad and uh what else is done we see open phones are the public um stuff and don't I don't see what updates uh maybe uh so anyway should be both that so um be supposed to stay well decided uh you know I think it is the important point we do see but I just uh we all logical yes we just have to uh current members uh uh even here is that building the field is our market um naive building just being for the parties are around to you I don't know if you'll know you is not here take the

Speaker 1

10:12

He's a nine building point.

10:24

I don't know if you'll know you is on here.

10:33

And then let's just change the mind depends on the movie.

10:46

Yes, I think he said something at a point.

10:50

But yeah, for me tomorrow night, I'll go ahead and take some time.

10:58

So we need to build here so we have to 45 years highways.

12:12

This one is not easy to use in the current.

12:34

But uh this one here set out in detail and see the sign arrow and 30 degrees.

12:44

And this was voltage means one of the people is um terrible.

12:55

You know, you want they want to know what the town role will look like, every one of them.

13:00

They want to know what the material is material and all these little same materials, you know, there's really seven feet in the each product.

13:12

And so when they came to us, they had regular reasons, of course, but they also had material that's called.

13:21

They had maybe this is two third four years from the point.

13:27

Here's a platform with it to be, and of course, if somebody uh buyer wants to be from that, uh, you know, they uh the condition was uh had the same style of house, you know, you want to kind of use that.

13:46

This and then they did the same thing with fur, you know, they need to wonder what we'll work everything to look like before improved the C and C those application to change.

14:04

Um then of course the this one here's other side is the patents um you know you can see patent street here, and then the lower is going to stream as well as uh uh uh being really important silver or bottom there and talk about

Unassigned speaker

14:21

uh

Speaker 1

14:22

the summer on the other side of the highway.

14:25

This one's 15 units are all really separate.

14:28

Uh this one I think uh what I like about it is an alleyway, uh there's nothing any garage space in the street, and uh the unit unit over here, this one here um that is uh that's that was what happens instead of being reverse renovated uh survey position and uh this one.

14:54

So that one that that's that same.

Unassigned speaker

15:00

So that one that that's that same this one uh the builder uh didn't want to be bought into a certain spot uh the only ability where somebody new buyer from I mean you see a probably home.

Speaker 1

15:14

So a buyer comes in and they want to say, hey, I want this instead of that.

15:19

He wanted some flexibility, and so we just wanted it, and this is kind of as a concept of Code to do.

15:30

Uh this right here isn't really indicative, but this is the one on the right.

Unassigned speaker

15:38

If

Speaker 1

15:38

you've ever been down catering street, all the houses are single store.

15:43

You know, and so the houses have

Unassigned speaker

15:50

here.

Unassigned speaker

15:52

This

Speaker 1

15:53

is what they're gonna look like on the street.

15:55

It's gonna be a single tool, look like the single story, but

Unassigned speaker

15:59

because

Speaker 1

15:59

of the grade of the property, it's gonna drop down and you're gonna have actually some two-story house.

16:05

And so, I think that this one I think is the full kind of excited about it, see what it looks like.

16:12

Uh the rendering is currently at least uh we got some turret action there, and this uh I think uh we'll have some uh you know these somewhere else view the highway, uh development and sort of putting the town as well, and um starts too long because uh we totally just added it to probably set.

17:00

Uh show wouldn't put people to look like, you know, the remote just this, I just kind of pull this off as an example.

17:08

You know, they'll show us people will have several renderings of what they're gonna look like basically the same unit, but it's he mixed it up a little bit from the window place the side of the materials like that.

17:20

In general seating the uh certain materials and the colors and all again before the list, but this one you know, you want it to be uh one day, you know what you did see.

17:40

Go down large the street before you get to uh um highway, you'll notice if you go down there now, you'll notice that uh re improved these uh this is just one just here, this is the worst.

18:07

Um we have the uh four park horses, also well at the home and I water over uh you have to have uh West Each street, and basically we're gonna have four-wheel cognitive on these basically for both new at least uh uh these squares here.

18:33

So what happened with these is a interest and on the first edition

Unassigned speaker

18:41

uh

Speaker 1

18:41

basically look at the little one that's like steel towards the on their tools, and they were basically the same house, and they were just gonna mix up the side a little bit.

18:54

And at the time, you know, we wanted something we wanted a little bit more variety, so we can see when it came back to a spin, well, we didn't be able to turn out is that we do cheap unless it's been home.

19:14

So you don't really have a whole lot of flexibility uh you know what you could do.

The Norcross City Council met for a Policy Work Session on June 15, 2026, addressing a wide agenda of fiscal, regulatory, and development topics including the FY2027 budget, downtown parking policy reforms, a proposed Prospera grant, and a Safe Streets for All study update. Based on the meeting minutes, the majority of items were referred or tabled to future meetings.

Citizen Input

  • Public comments were received. Specific positions voiced by the public could not be reliably extracted from the meeting transcript due to recording quality.

Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Study Update

  • Consultant Kimley-Horn presented on the citywide safety action plan. The crash data presented contained a discrepancy, citing approximately 70 serious injury or fatal crashes over the last three years while simultaneously referencing 70 individuals affected over the last decade. Discussion required ensuring the plan aligns with other capital projects. The plan aims for completion by May 2027.

Municipal Court Base-Fine Schedule Procedures

  • Tabled to July 20 PWS: Council reviewed the proposed policy to consolidate rules regarding fine schedules and ratification. Significant discussion focused on ensuring that no conflicting language remains in the city charter or other ordinances in order to avoid future conflicts.

Prospera FY2027 Funding Request

  • Referred to July 20 PWS: The $15,000 request was discussed. Councilmembers requested greater quantifiable metrics on return on investment (such as number of businesses assisted or jobs created) and debated whether the funding was a donation or a direct contract for services. The item was referred for further development.
