Sandy Springs could one day be home to a 1,000-seat performing arts center, if it follows the advice of a study conducted as part of city center plans.

It would be the “biggest project we’ve ever undertaken,” Mayor Rusty Paul said at a recent Rotary Club of Sandy Springs meeting.

The mayor said he was gratified by a public outpouring of support he has received following the release of the study commissioned by the Sandy Springs City Council. That study, by Johnson Consultants, urged the city to look at a 750-seat to 1,000-seat performing arts facility.

If Sandy Springs city officials decide not to go forward with a roundabout on the Riverside Drive/I-285 interchange, the city will be on the hook to spend $1.5 million to construct turning lanes on the intersection ramps.

The Georgia Department of Transportation first proposed the roundabout in 2011 after the city requested a new traffic signal at the interchange.

If a roundabout is constructed, the project will be funded with federal help at no cost to the city, except for landscaping and decorative street lights, state officials say. But if it’s not built, the city will have to pay to construct turning lanes SEE RIVERSIDE, PAGE 20

Mayor calls Greenway, Playable Art Park ‘amazing jewel’ for city annmariequill@reporternewspapers.net

Children took a front seat to hear Mayor Rusty Paul as a large crowd of residents and officials gathered for the opening of the Abernathy Greenway and Playable Art Park.

“This is an amazing jewel for our community, for these neighborhoods, for these younger constituents down here,” said the mayor, pointing to the children.

The project has been a long time in the making, with its opening delayed

several times over the years by construction, weather and attempts to appease neighbors. The 6.6-acre portion that opened on July 17 lies along the north side of Abernathy Road, from Wright Road to Brandon Mill Road.

In 2001, before Sandy Springs became a city, federal funding became available for the Georgia Department of Transportation and Fulton County to address congestion along Abernathy Road. To alleviate community concerns

If another agreement is not reached, the foundation must restore the wall to its pre-mural state.

Get creative with traffic planning LE T T E R S T O

To the editor: Sandy Springs is rapidly becoming just like the city of Atlanta, with dense commercial development. And with that development comes a significant influx in the daily population, resulting in an increased demand for city services.

This is a frequent topic discussed by the 15-member Atlanta Council: How to find funding for the cost of city services due to the increase in daytime population. Over the years, they have explored a myriad of ideas on how to generate enough revenue to pay for the ever-increasing cost of public safety (police, high-rise firefighting, emergency response) traffic signals and public works (street, bridge, sidewalk maintenance).

Unfortunately, years of brainstorming by Atlanta produced nothing more than imposing impact fees, and those have proven to be totally inadequate to provide the required police, fire and public works maintenance. All this occurred while the residential population continued to decline.

[Re: ‘Development could overwhelm Mount Vernon, Peachtree Dunwoody, Abernathy intersection,’ Sandy Springs Reporter, July 11-24], although there are estimates of a net increase of 5,000 parking spaces in the planning documents for this legislation, all of the traffic planning is specific to just this development. Was traffic planning done in a vacuum?

There is no mention of how this increase will be affected and compounded by the huge increase in traffic resulting from State Farm offices on Hammond Drive, and the proposed redevelopment directly west of it on Peachtree Dunwoody across from Concourse.

Nor was there any mention of the impact of traffic from the pending sale and development of the 76-acres of the Mayson and Glen properties on Abernathy, Glenlake Parkway and

Glenridge Drive.

I urge you to direct the staff to look beyond just the present circumstances. The planning solutions provided in the attachments are like planting a nice vegetable garden and treating it for insects flying around it while failing to account for the fact that your neighbor is raising rabbits.

With the size, scope and impact of present and future development, it would be appropriate to engage planning services with specific experience in large-scale situations such as these. No one can fault you for knowing when to seek professional help. Due diligence wins every time.

Traffic planning has got to be creative; significant funding will be required. It has to evolve well beyond painting another lane on a bridge and adding some turn lanes. That will not alleviate gridlock nor will it protect neighborhoods from daytime rush hour traffic seeking to cut through residential streets.

To protect neighborhoods, streets may have to be closed.

For instance, just as the precedent set by closing Vernon Woods Drive to Roswell Road, Glenridge Drive should be closed at Glenlake Parkway. If not carefully executed, Sandy Springs will end up just like Atlanta.

The best advice I can offer to the mayor and council: Keep in mind that practical considerations frequently outweigh theoretical assumptions.

Robert Barger

with a city average, with most of the growth appearing in districts with very little development, and over years of limited development due to the economic downturn.

In no way does it reflect the effectiveness of city ordinances. Districts 3, 5 and 6 (from Wieuca Road north to Dalrymple Road, where the majority of the city’s development has occurred) are a very different story. That canopy has deteriorated dramatically. Averages may be true, but definitely deceptive.

Now major development projects on wooded properties we’ve all loved and add to the “relaxed” ambiance of our

city, in District 4, are under consideration. Without stronger protections in our tree canopy ordinances those trees will go, too.

Shouldn’t the goal of a city proud of its tree canopy be to protect them in all the districts, with strong constructive ordinances that are workable for residents and developers?

Other cities have accomplished this balance of ordinance, construction and enforcement.

Sandy Springs needs to do so too for the entire city.

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,”

Southern Airways COO Keith Sisson, left, and Capt. Scott Honnoll, assistant chief pilot, at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport. The airline says unlike at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, there are no security lines and PDK offers free parking.

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,

Capt. Bob Ecton, a former UPS pilot, gives his passengers heading from Destin to Memphis instructions for the flight.

Charter airline says it provides alternative to Hartsfield CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

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.

COMMUNITY

City may seek corporate help to pay for performing arts center CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

dy Springs officials at a recent workshop to explore an option close to 1,000 seats in order to give the center room to grow along with the community. Johnson, speaking on a speaker phone, described Sandy Springs as having a growing, highly-educated population with a high median income, and said the community would support an intimate performing arts center.

“Sandy Springs fits in that model very nicely,” Johnson said.

Johnson told the council that by its fifth year a performing arts center could bring in 219,900 to 353,200 attendees a year, depending on the type of facility the city built. It would also have the potential to bring in revenues as high as $5.4 million, with a net income of $400,000.

At the Rotary event, Paul said the size that Johnson Consulting is recommending is the “sweet spot” where revenue and expenses could meet and break even, while also putting “us in a very competitive position.”

Paul said the council is toying with the idea of going to the business community to see if private capital can be raised for the project. “If this is something that the community really wants, then we believe the community will step up . . . and maybe help us pay for it.”

In the study, Johnson said a center could cost from about $22 million to about $32 million, depending on the kind of theater it included. Johnson sug-

gested the center should also include a large lobby and 7,500 square feet of meeting space.

Civic center master developer Carter/Selig was scheduled to make a presentation on July 23 outlining what it proposed to include in the project. Check reporternewspapers.net for updates.

As part of the study, Johnson Consulting also interviewed representatives from performing arts facilities in the metro area, including the Buckhead Theatre and the Gwinnett Performing Arts Center.

Representatives from the Buckhead Theatre, a 790-seat venue, supported Sandy Springs building a performing arts center even though it would be a competitor, according to the study, which said that theater can’t accommodate all facility requests.

Meanwhile, representatives from the Gwinnett Performing Arts Center said they regret not having a facility larger than its current 700 seats, and that Sandy Springs should build a facility it can grow into.

The study also cited organizations in the city such as Sandy Springs Tourism & Hospitality and Heritage Sandy Springs that told the consultants they can’t accommodate all the event requests they receive, and the Chamber of Commerce, which holds a number of events outside the city due to lack of space.

Johnson Consulting’s study can be found on the city’s website at www.sandyspringsga.org.

Roswell Cultural Art Center 600 seats Cobb County Civic Center 600 seats

Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre 2,750 seats

Buckhead Theatre 790 seats

Conant Performing Arts Center 500 seats

Alliance Theatre 770 seats

Center Stage Theater 1,100 seats

The study looked at existing performing arts facilities sized similarly to the proposed center. The above are located within 15 miles of Sandy Springs.

SPECIAL

Riverside roundabout could be a $1.5 million decision CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

on the ramps at a cost of $1.5 million.

Scott Zehngraff, assistant state traffic engineer for GDOT, told members of Sandy Springs City Council on July 15 that without the roundabout “the city is then . . . responsible for adding the turning lanes at the intersection.”

“It’s a commitment that you guys already made when you requested the signal,” he said. “So, when we approved the traffic signal, it was contingent upon the turning lanes being added.”

Zehngraff said the GDOT review was triggered by the city’s request for a traffic light at the intersection.

“Our policy requires whenever traffic signals are requested, we need to consider the roundabouts for safety reasons,” he said. “A roundabout drastically reduces the severity of crashes. It also reduces the number of crashes. The reason is that as two roads intersect each other you have 32 potential conflict points, which a roundabout reduces to eight.”

Following a public workshop on the proposal in March, some residents in the Riverside area protested the potential roundabouts. The Riverside Home-

20

|

owners Association sent a letter to GDOT and city council members expressing concerns.

Reed Haggard, president of the Riverside HOA, which represents some 700 homes, told Reporter Newspapers in May that even if the roundabouts alleviated traffic flow, the traffic would flow onto an already-congested Riverside Drive.

GDOT cited a higher-than-statewideaverage of crashes at the Riverside intersection as part of its decision to explore roundabouts. Zehngraff said the roundabouts are considered a safety improvement, not an operational improvement.

“What is unusual about the ramps on Riverside?” asked Councilman Graham McDonald, who represents the Riverside area.

“You don’t have turn lanes, which the intersection needs if signalized,” Zehngraff replied.

“Has any study been done on Georgia drivers’ ability to navigate roundabouts?”

Councilman Ken Dishman asked.

“Design has a lot to do with it,” Zehngraff said. “This works because it’s a single-lane roundabout.”

Councilmembers have also raised con-

JULY 25 – AUG. 7, 2014 | www.ReporterNewspapers.net

cerns that the roundabout study came about before the Braves announced the baseball team was moving to nearby Cobb County.

But Marlo Clowers, a project manager with GDOT, told the council that the Braves traffic wouldn’t overwhelm the roundabouts.

“There will possibly be some additional traffic south on Riverside to west I-285, but that’s not the most direct route to the stadium,” she said. “We don’t expect that delay would be significantly different with a roundabout than with any other project.”

McDonald points out that GDOT says the roundabout is not a permanent fix. He added that most of his District 3 constituents that he’s heard from are against the project.

“I think a permanent solution that solves safety issues needs to be the focus, not a limited one that’s on the freeway and not on neighborhood streets,” he said. “I do continue to have concerns as the plans currently stand. [A roundabout] may cause safety problems by increasing the volume of traffic on Riverside and contributing to cut-through traffic.”

While many Riverside Drive area residents oppose a roundabout, GDOT says they dramatically reduce the number and severity of crashes. To see a larger version, go to ReporterNewspapers.net.
