COMMUNITY 3

Several Dunwoody city oﬃcials appear ready to move forward with controversial new regulations that would make it more expensive to erect certain kinds of buildings in the city. “I am no longer convinced that replacing old garbage [buildings] with newer, not-so-nice [ones] is the way to go in our community,” Dunwoody City Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch said during the council’s July 14 meeting. “I think we have an obligation ... that what we leave as our legacy is better than what we were left. “Dunwoody is a prime location. ... If they build a higher grade or a higher class [of building] ... that’s OK with me.” But not every council member agreed that the city should

The Atlanta JournalConstitution asked Dunwoody City Council if they could advertise their event on a 60x80 foot banner on the side of its building on Perimeter Center Parkway.

‘Wow’: City gets request for 4,800-square-foot sign BY JOE EARLE

When you bank at the BoSS... YOU are the Boss!

joeearle@reporternewspapers.net

What constitutes a big sign in Dunwoody? A really, really big sign? How about one covering 4,800 square feet? Dunwoody City Council on July 14 was presented a request for a sign that big to announce the planned AJC Dunwoody Wine Fest. The Atlanta Journal Constitution proposes hanging a vinyl banner that is 60 feet tall and 80 feet wide on the side of its building at 223 Perimeter Center Parkway. “I did a double take when I read your memo,” Councilman Terry Nall told Community Development Director Steve Foote. “4,800 square feet? This must be a typo.” Foote said it wasn’t. He said he brought the proposal to the council because the city code allows him to approve temporary signs for special events that measured up to 60 square feet. John Levinson, AJC sponsorship marketing manager, said the newspaper wanted a really big sign so it could get

some attention for its first-time event. “You want to be as bold as you can,” he told the council. Several council members seemed awed by the sheer size of the sign. “Wow,” Councilman Denny Shortal said. “That’s just too big and [on display for] too long.” “It’s so big...,” Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch said. “I really don’t think it bothers anybody. I just think this is very large.” Councilman Jim Riticher looked around the council chambers and did some quick calculations. “It’s three times the size of this room,” he said. But Councilman John Heneghan pointed out that the sign was intended to be seen by passengers on the MARTA station platform and MARTA trains that pass by the newspaper’s oﬃce building. “I would love to have seen a photo from the MARTA platform to see what the size is [in context],” Heneghan said. “That might be the right size.”

Mann elected sheriff DeKalb Sheriff Jeff Mann easily held on to his office July 22 with a runoff election victory over the county’s former CEO. In unofficial returns, Mann collected more than three times as many votes in the nonpartisan election runoff as his opponent, Vernon Jones, who was making a bid for a return to elective office. According to figures posted on the Georgia Secretary of State’s website, with votes from all of the county’s 189 precincts tallied, Mann had received 76

percent of the vote to Jones’ 24 percent. “I am proud to be able to continue to serve as your 49th sheriff,” Mann said on his Facebook page. Mann took office earlier this year after the resignation of former Sheriff Tom Brown. Mann and Jones collected the largest number of votes among an eightcandidate field in the May 20 nonpartisan election for the office, and were cast into the runoff. –Joe Earle

East or west up Ga. 400? MARTA’s expansion still unclear CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

ings MARTA is holding to gather public comments on the potential project. The transit authority is considering extending service from the North Springs station to the Forsyth County line. There are three options for the project: bus rapid transit, light rail and extending the current heavy rail line. Joan Rush, Lesser’s neighbor, agreed the train should run on the west side of the highway. “I’m not opposed to expansion,” Rush said. MARTA officials say they are considering public opinion before determining whether the line would run on the east or west side, or a combination of both. “The general opinion in this area below the Chattahoochee [River] is that alignment should be on the west side,” MARTA planner Janide Sidifall said. But, she said that decision on the location will not be made soon. “At this point in the study we want to know, do they agree we should extend the line, what technology (heavy rail, light rail, bus) do they prefer, and what do they think about station locations?” she said. She said an environmental impact study on the project’s effects on the community and natural resources must be conducted before it is determined where the line expansion might be located. Sidifall added that if MARTA does build on the west side, it will have to look at where and how to cross Ga. 400. Sandy Springs and Dunwoody city officials have publicly expressed support for putting the rail on the west side of Ga. 400, saying building on the east side would interfere with neighborhoods. But, in earlier meetings, MARTA representatives have stated that expanding on the west side could cost hundreds of thousand dollars more because it would involve crossing Ga. 400. Lesser referred to a 2003 agreement between MARTA and the Dunwoody Homeowners Association which promised the agency would only expand on the west side. But Sidifall stated in an earlier outreach meeting that because of demographic changes the agency had to “start back at zero in 2011.” Lesser would also prefer adding a bus

line rather than extending train lines north. “Heavy rail is way too expensive and they’re going for a government grant that’s diﬃcult to get,” she said. She said she thought that adding bus lines would get the project in place faster, helping commuters. The project is expected to take a decade or more, “assuming everything goes as expected,” said project manager Mark Eatman, at the July 17 meeting at the Hampton Inn in Sandy Springs. Eatman said a Kennesaw State University poll of north Fulton residents and employees showed both approved extending the line to Forsyth, with responses mostly split between heavy and light rail. The agency is considering adding stations in Sandy Springs, Roswell and Alpharetta at Northridge Road, Holcomb Bridge Road, Mansell Road, North Point Mall, Old Milton Parkway and Windward Parkway. Preliminary estimates show the bus option is expected to cost about $460 million, compared to $1.8 billion for light rail and $1.6 billion for heavy rail. The heavy rail option is cheaper than light rail because it extends the current line. The 11.9 mile line would extend from the North Springs station. “One of the keys to a project like this is having the money to do it,” said MARTA consultant Claudia Bilotto. She said the agency is eyeing funds from the Federal Transit Administration, which grants money for projects based on factors such as mobility improvements, cost eﬀectiveness, congestion relief, environmental benefits, land use and economic development. Bilotto said that looking at how versions of the project might rank in terms of receiving FTA funds will help inform the MARTA board of what direction to take. Some residents expressed concerns at the July 17 meeting that their opinions were not being heard, but MARTA officials told them they were still gathering feedback. “Your input is vital to this project,” Eatman said.

A better quality of life: The ultimate goal of the north DeKalb cityhood movement Two years ago, friends and neighbors in communities all across north-central DeKalb County began discussing a shared vision to follow in the footsteps of Sandy Springs, Dunwoody and Johns Creek to pursue a better quality of life through incorporation. The goals of those seeking a city named “Lakeside” and those who prefer a larger map called “Briarcliff” are mutual: The overdue need for greater levels of local control in an area largely ignored by a county government. The ongoing crises simply exacerbate the problems. DeKalb County has neglected our community by providing insufficient police protection, a woefully inadequate road-repair and sidewalks program, few parks, and zoning and land-use policies that fail to reflect our community values — to name just a few of the issues. The county commissioners for our area do not live here and lack a keen awareness of what we need and want — from a lack of economic development in challenged retail areas to improved service deMARY KAY livery to a need for greater police presence in residential neighborhoods. The Lakeside and Briarcliff teams are now collaborating in pursuit of the common goal of cityhood WOODWORTH during the 2015 session of the Georgia Legislature in January. They share a desire to improve our area GUEST COLUMN and to help turn around the fortunes of our county. The information we have gleaned from neighborhood meetings, social media and other community input will be used to ensure that the map considered by the General Assembly is fair, logical and inclusive. Cityhood for this portion of DeKalb transcends political party, income or any other label critics have tried to put on either previous cityhood effort. We want what is best to help preserve our neighborhoods and to provide incentives to help our area thrive well into the future. Both city groups can tell you that most residents in our area are embarrassed by their DeKalb elected officials — not just the never-ending claims of corruption, but also the seeming inability to accomplish anything except infighting. DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis faces trial for extortion and conspiracy charges — a trial that has been postponed several times and puts a black eye on the image of the county. Ethics charges have been filed against each of the seven DeKalb commissioners. The accusations primarily relate to the way these elected officials handle themselves in office or misuse of taxpayer funds. Rather than seriously addressing the multitudinous problems with the county, Interim CEO Lee May has appointed a “task force,” and hired consultants to look at the impact of cities on DeKalb. Citizens and cityhood groups were left off the panel, as were pro-city legislators, until that fact was made public. DeKalb officials have consistently lobbied against new cities, using taxpayer-funded lobbyists to work against their own citizens. May himself asked the General Assembly to kill the creation of more cities for three years. Sadly, it is business as usual not only at the DeKalb Headquarters, but also along U.S. 29, where prostitution and drug crimes continue unabated. Northlake Mall — the largest commercial center in our area — is under severe distress, and no significant efforts are being made to renew it. In contrast, a small city, governed by those who live here and who care about our community, would target these concerns. This is a proven model of success. But first we have to incorporate. Our community must agree on a new map and goals for self-governance. LakesideYES believes success depends on beginning with a manageable city size to ensure efficient service delivery, but we also believe that annexation of additional unincorporated areas should be seriously considered once the city is operating successfully. As we at Lakeside and Briarcliff work on our efforts, you could say we are “dating.” We hope we can come together with a fullfledged agreement to present to the community that will allow a large portion of north-central DeKalb voters to join us next winter in asking the Georgia Legislature, once more, for the ability to self-govern, and to keep DeKalb and our community strong for generations to come. Woodworth is co-chairman of LakesideYES, a group of volunteers advocating cityhood in the Lakeside community of north-central DeKalb County.

Perimeter Business A monthly section focusing on business in the Reporter Newspapers communities PDK airline offers alternative flights, free parking, no security lines BY BOB PEPALIS Call it a modern air traveler’s fantasy: A short drive to the airport followed by free parking, no bag fees and no long security lines. Southern Airways Express promises to deliver on that fantasy. And it sees that promise as the reason frequent fliers should skip bookings on big-name airlines and head to DeKalb-Peachtree Airport when they’re taking short flights to Florida beaches or to Memphis. Alyson and Scott Reynolds took their first flight on Southern Airways Express to Atlanta from their home in Destin, Fla., on July 8 for her interior design business. She was happy to skip the Transportation Security Administration’s security lines. He said he liked the flight’s convenience, as the couple lives about 15 minutes from the Destin airport and only needed to arrive 15 minutes before the flight. “And the flight left early,” Alyson Reynolds said. “That never happens.” Ben Giles, owner of White Sands Contracting of Destin, likes the little, Memphis-based airline’s business so much he invested in the company. “I have business quite a bit up here [in metro Atlanta],” he said recently during a stop at PDK. “So, without having to go through TSA and all the hassles of [Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport] and all that, it’s really convenient. And, secondly, as an investor, I hope the airline takes off. I think it’s a great business model and they should do well.” For its flights in and out of metro Atlanta, Southern Airways Express has found a way to do something other airlines haven’t: avoid Hartsfield. Long-standing debates about whether Atlanta needs a second airport still go on, but Southern Airways Express is able to operate from PDK under a Federal Aviation Administration definition of public charters. Essentially, airport officials have said, the company markets, schedules and books passengers, and then contracts with a subsidiary that provides the flights. Southern Airways Express took its first flights in 2013. The company spent the first year experimenting to find which flights met consumer demand and has scaled back on flights. When the company announced its opening last year, it offered flights from PDK to six southern cities. This summer, the airline operates 54 flights a week, including two takeoffs and two landings most days from PDK. Chief Operating Officer Keith Sisson said a new schedule should be approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation in the next few weeks. That schedule will begin just after Labor Day. “We decided early on our competition was going to be the long car ride,”

he said. Flights on Southern Airways Express start at $198 one way, but passengers who follow the charter airline on Facebook (Facebook.com/southernairwaysexpress) can occasionally find deals cutting prices to as little as $129. Sisson said the first seats are always cheaper on each flight. Last-minute flights are $248 one way. Atlanta passengers can fly directly only to Memphis or Destin under the current schedule, but Sisson expects the company will add more destinations once the airline is better established in the Atlanta market. Company officials plan to look at adding flights from Atlanta to St. Augustine, Fla., Hilton Head, S.C., or St. Simons Island in Georgia. Southern Airways Express will continue to schedule SEC game-day flights,

linking fans with their teams during football season, he said. Company officials say that the PDKbased flights have not been as successful as the Memphis-based ones. Almost every flight is sold out from Memphis to the beaches, Sisson said. One flight per day out of PDK is bound for Memphis four days per week – excluding Thursdays and weekends. A flight arrives daily from Memphis Monday through Friday. And Southern Airways flies to Destin once a day five times per week – Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. An inbound flight from Destin is scheduled four days per week – Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. That makes nine outbound and nine inbound flights weekly. But they also want to convince more business travelers to fly their airline to fill the seats now being used by vacationers. When the leisure travel stopped last win-

ter, so did flights out of Atlanta by Southern Airways Express. “This year, we know that we have to do something different when the winter rolls along,” he said. A small start has been made at PDK. Every week, six to eight people fly to Atlanta from Memphis for meetings they used to drive to. And Sisson said the airline would like to start a banker’s shuttle to Charlotte. “We can take them out of their cars with a convenient flight from their neighborhood to Charlotte,” Sisson said. For now, John Bunyan and his wife might be close to the airline’s target market. He’s a retiree, having spent 36 years working for IBM. The Bunyans have homes in both Destin and Atlanta. “My wife has flown this and I’ve flown this. We think this is outstanding,” he said. “We keep a car down here and it really works out really handy. You’re here in an hour and a half without the drive.”

Student Profile:

Becky Arbiv Rising sophomore, The Weber School On April 26, Becky Arbiv made history for The Weber School, winning the 2014 GISA AAA State Championship in the 300m hurdles. “She was the only athlete that The Weber School took to the state meet and she won the firstever state track championship for our school,” Coach Tyrone Sawyer said. Not only did Becky win the championship, but she also set school records for volleyball and basketball. Most students don’t reach these types of accomplishments until their junior or senior year, but Becky did it as a freshman. Becky was born in Australia, has lived in Chicago and Philadelphia, and moved to the Atlanta area when she was 3. She says sports have always played a major role in her life. “As a little kid, I was extremely active and was always running around,” Becky said. When she was young, she played little league gymnastics, basketball, soccer and tee ball. Becky may be the epitome of “practice makes perfect.” She says, “I practice every day for either pole vault, basketball, volleyball or just all around working out. Every day I watch countless videos of professional athletes to refine my technique and get better. On the weekends I spend about eight hours pole vaulting, and I love every second of it.” Although Becky continuously practices, she says she would not have made

it far without the support of her coaches and mother. “My mom and my coaches are my biggest influences because they help and support me through everything, and give me input on my performances,” she said. Becky’s success isn’t confined to just sports. She is a part of Weber’s student council, and the Junior State of America Club. She also likes to read and play the guitar. Her coach says Becky can look forward to a bright future. “Becky is extremely humble in all of the success she has had,” Sawyer said. “She motivates her teammates through her great work ethic. Becky is truly genuine and will continue to accomplish great things.”

What’s Next: Becky hopes to compete in the Olympics and one day become a surgeon. This article was reported and written by Zani Nobles, a student at Riverwood International Charter School.

Michael E. Paris, president and CEO of the Council for Quality Growth, discusses proposed changes to the city of Dunwoody’s building regulations with members of the board of the Dunwoody Homeowners Association on July 13. The new rules would make construction of some buildings more expensive in Dunwoody, builders say.

City tweaking controversial new building rules CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

continue developing the regulations, which city officials say have been in the works for about a year. “I’m not convinced this is a fully formed idea,” Mayor Mike Davis said. City officials are debating new rules to require buildings more than three stories tall be built using concrete-and-steel construction, rather than the cheaper wood-frame construction used on smaller buildings. Concrete-and-steel construction now is required of buildings more than five stories tall. The change has been opposed by developers, who say it will make certain kinds of buildings too expensive to construct in Dunwoody, and will limit redevelopment of some older areas of the community. Some residents also claim the proposal is actually an effort to prevent the construction of new apartment buildings in the city by making them too expensive. Michael Paris, CEO of the Council for Quality Growth, told city council members they should delay consideration of the proposal until a committee of “stakeholders” can meet and discuss the problem. Paris said that if Dunwoody adopts the new regulations, it would impose some of the toughest restrictions among metro Atlanta communities on such projects. “Our position has been all along, ‘What is the problem? What are we trying to solve, and is this the best way to solve it?’” he told Dunwoody Homeowners Association board members on July 13 before the DHA board voted to back the proposal. “We’ve have been since the beginning, honestly perplexed by what we’re trying to solve, so we don’t know how to solve it,” he said. John Lundeen, president of Coro Real Estate Advisors, also criticized the proposal, saying it would “discourage a lot of DUN

mixed-use projects.” “I know some of you were disappointed with some of the things that were done when DeKalb County was in charge,” he said. “That had nothing to do with wood construction.” City Councilman Terry Nall has promoted lowering the point at which the change to concrete-and-steel construction is required, saying it would improve the quality of construction of mid-rise buildings. “Having control over development is a key reason for our question to incorporate,” he said during the council meeting. Nall argues that requiring the more expensive form of construction will result in buildings that last longer and hold their value longer. “This will add a higher quality building,” Nall told DHA members July 13. “It will help slow down the spiral [of decline] in buildings we have. Many of those, if we started with non-combustible building materials, it will be a slower spiral.” The latest proposal under consideration by the council allows projects taking in less than 200,000 square feet to be exempt from the requirement for the more expensive construction. It also would allow developers to ask the council to waive the requirement and allow the cheaper construction on certain projects. “That certainly is moving in the right direction,” Paris told the council. “We still consider this problematic, and question what it solves... I honestly believe this is not the right way to solve this problem.” But Councilman Denny Shortal questioned the concept of providing exemption from the new rules, if they are adopted. “I think this is a safety and quality issue,” he said. “The waiver issue ... is a problem for me. I don’t see how you can waive safety.”

Vote on 50-story Northpark ofﬁce tower put off until September BY ANN MARIE QUILL

annmariequill@reporternewspapers.net

The Sandy Springs City Council on July 15 voted to defer until September a vote on a mixed-use development containing 500 apartment units, a 50-floor office tower and hotel and retail space. Real estate developer Hines had requested a zoning change for land at Peachtree Dunwoody, Abernathy and Mount Vernon roads from office to mixed use, which would allow for the apartments, as well as a use permit to exceed maximum height variances. City staff and the planning commission had recommended the council approve the project with some conditions, saying it fit into the Comprehensive Plan and Live Work Regional district. “These modifications will ensure that the Northpark project becomes one of the most exciting new urban-style villages in the central Perimeter, consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and, we are proud to point out, within the city limits of Sandy Springs,” said Mark Ferris, a managing director at Hines. However, critics have said a 50-story office tower would be the tallest in the area, changing the city’s landscape, and that the project would bring too much traffic to an already-congested area. Tochie Blad, with the Sandy Springs Council of Neighborhoods, told the

council that neighbors are concerned that such a large project is coming into an area that already has a lot of traﬃc. “We really would like to see a wellplanned project that’s transit-oriented,” she said, adding that there is no direct pedestrian access to the MARTA station and to ride the train you would have to cross Peachtree Dunwoody Road. Trish Thompson, also with the Sandy Springs Council of Neighborhoods, said she was not happy with the traﬃc the project would potentially bring. “Hines is one of the best developers in the nation,” she said. “You could not ask for a better developer in Sandy Springs. . . . I just want them to do a really good job.” Ferris says the developers are prepared to make a number of roadway improvements, including a northbound and additional southbound turning lanes on Peachtree Dunwoody, dual eastbound turning lanes on Mount Vernon, restriping the Mount Vernon bridge for two westbound lanes, constructing a dedicated westbound right turn lane on Mount Vernon, a left turn eastbound lane on Mount Vernon, pedestrian sidewalks and bike lanes. “We’ve worked with the PCID (Perimeter Community Improvement District) standards as a guide to create

enhanced pedestrian crossings at Abernathy and Mount Vernon roads across Peachtree Dunwoody to ensure strong connectivity and walkability to and from the Northpark village,” Ferris said. Colin Greene, with HOK architects, the master planner and designer for the project, said the project is “absolutely transit oriented” and is designed to capitalize on the MARTA station. Councilman Gabriel Sterling made the motion to defer, saying that the staﬀ

and council needed to have a better understanding of how the development would affect traffic in the area. “This is obviously an extremely large, important zoning and a lot of this need for deferral is not so much for the Hines guys who have been very open with staff,” he said, “but for the council and staff to have a better understanding of how this project affects the Perimeter area and Sandy Springs as a whole, especially when it comes to traffic.”
