Police push district for school zone cameras By JEFFREY ALBERTSON newsroom@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Georgia General Assembly adjourned this spring without addressing an issue important to Dunwoody police, the matter of using cameras to cite school zone speeders. Senate Bill 183 would have removed part of the permitting process needed to install automated traffic enforcement safety devices, or speeding detection cameras, in school zones. Under current law, the permitting process for school zone traffic cameras starts with the local board of education, who must submit an application to the Georgia Department of Transportation. GDOT has final say over the multi-part application process. The application process is litigious, requiring studies and approval statements from the local government, including police. Maps must also be included showing the location of the cameras and signage. State law requires that the school must be within 1,000 feet of the roadway and that motorists be notified of the speed detection zone at least 500 feet before entering. Detection cameras have to meet certain eligibility and calibration criteria. SB 183 removed the local school board from the equation, and any Georgia city could seek approval for the cameras from GDOT directly. School zone camera legislation is

The DeKalb County School Board has taken no action on Dunwoody’s request for speed detection cameras at three elementary schools. not new. HB 978, which went into effect on July 1, 2018, authorized the use of speed detection cameras in school zones. HB 199 was introduced on Jan. 29, 2021 but did not advance from the Motor Vehicles Committee. Another bill, HB 248 with similar language
removing school board say, cleared the Georgia House 133-35 in March 2021, but it did not advance through the Senate Government Oversight Committee. Rep. Michael Wilensky (D-Dunwoody) sponsored two of the earlier bills. In a Jan. 10 press conference,
Dunwoody Police Chief Billy Grogan critiqued the DeKalb County School Board for not responding to a Nov. 8 letter sent by Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Doraville and Chamblee police chiefs taking school officials to task for not approving cameras in school zones, even after traffic studies had identified speeding problems. Grogan said the issue was about safety, not revenue, and the inaction jeopardized student safety in the four cities. “No department has the resources to assign a police officer to school zones every day,” Grogan stated in the letter to the board. “This program allows us to make the roads safer even when officers are patrolling other areas of the community.” The traffic study conducted for Dunwoody in early 2020 found 2,319 speeding violations in three school zones in one day. The number reflects only those vehicles traveling 10 miles per hour or more over the speed limit in the school zones. Dunwoody Elementary School had 639, Austin Elementary had 613 and Chesnut Elementary had 1,067.

Chamblee man denies hit-and-run allegation DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police arrested a 52-year-old Chamblee man for hit-andrun April 12 after an incident on North Shallowford Road. A man told police that an SUV behind him had been acting frustrated while in traffic and passed him by maneuvering into the lane of oncoming traffic. The man said the SUV then cut back in front of him and struck his car. The man provided police with a photo of the SUV and its license plate number, which indicated the owner lived in Chamblee. Dunwoody police met with Chamblee police and went to the suspect’s residence to speak with him. The suspect admitted he had passed a car on the wrong side of the road but said he did not strike the car. He also told police he was the only one who had driven his SUV that day, according to the report. Police observed damage to the front passenger side of the man’s SUV. The suspect was charged with hitand-run, improper lane usage, driving on the wrong side of the road and driving with an expired registration.
Pool player sought for punching employee DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police obtained an arrest warrant for a Decatur man who allegedly assaulted an employee of Gilly’s Sports Bar on Dunwoody Park April 13.

The employee said the man “became disorderly” after being asked to stop charging people, so staff asked him to leave. The employee said he went into the parking lot to call police and the man exited behind him and punched him in the face, knocking the phone out of his hand. The employee said the suspect left after a brief altercation, but he was able to shoot a photo of the suspect’s license plate.

He said he made no stops on the trip and noticed the suitcase was not in his vehicle upon arrival.

Hotel staff could not locate the man’s suitcase.

Soon after he refused the demand, the individual created a group message of nearly 150 people who followed him on Instagram and sent several of the photos to the group. The victim was able to capture the communications on screenshot and they were entered as evidence.

Council explores parks, major projects By JEFFREY ALBERTSON newsroom@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council continued focus on park planning and funding at its April 25 meeting. The council unanimously approved two committees, one to prioritize park projects and the other with how American Rescue Plan Act funding will be used. “The Capital Prioritization Committee will review current lists of unfunded capital projects removing some redundancies, clarifying project scores and adding potential projects for upcoming discussions,” Assistant City Manager J. Jay Vinicki said. The list will start community discussions on the capital needs of the city, one-time expenses like roadway improvements or equipment purchases. Council members Catherine Lautenbacher, Joe Seconder and John Heneghan will sit on the committee. The American Rescue Plan and Grants Committee will help develop and recommend a strategy on the allocation of current ARP funding. The committee will review the city’s grants strategy and suggest revisions if necessary. At the April 11 meeting, the council approved creating a separate $10 million fund to use ARP money for future projects. Council member Tom Lambert, Rob Price and Stacey Harris will make up the committee. Other discussion items focused on residential driveway composition and changes to the intersection of I–285 and Ashford Dunwoody Road. Dunwoody ordinances do not address or restrict the use of gravel in residen-

The Dunwoody City Council considers proposals to channel some of the federal COVID relief funding for local parks and major capital projects at its April 25 meeting. tial driveways. A staff memo from the Planning and Zoning Department dated April 25 recommended adopting a text amendment disallowing gravel driveways or creating a standard of maintenance. The memo also said to allow ribbon driveways, grass-crete and stone paver systems. Chamblee and Roswell permit gravel driveways, while Sandy Springs,
Brookhaven, Alpharetta and Tucker do not. Chamblee has requirements for minimum depth and a durable border. The consensus from the council discussion was to craft an ordinance banning the use of gravel in residential driveways. The city would have to take action to the driveway at Donaldson– Bannister Farm because it is zoned as a residence.
The other discussion item covered the westside connector project at Ashford Dunwoody Road and I-285. Public Works Director Michael Smith said the effectiveness of the diverging diamond interchange will diminish toward the end of this decade. The plan is meant to reduce congestion at the busy intersection that connects I-285 to Perimeter Mall and to Hammond Drive, the access to several major employers in the area. While still in the discussion stage, the connector project plan includes a proposal to create an exit lane that would go over the Perimeter Expo shopping center and exit on to Perimeter Center East and Goldkist Drive. The plan initially included a ramp from Goldkist Drive connecting to I-285 East, but that was scrapped by the Georgia Department of Transportation. Significant discussion focused on one conceptual design that would widen the existing bridge on Ashford Dunwoody Road, adding one lane to each side. There would also be a parallel bridge for pedestrians and cyclists. The plan is expected to reduce vehicle delay by 22 percent in the morning and 11 percent in the afternoon peak hours. Smith said that GDOT indicated the bridge would need to be replaced given it was over 60 years old. The city would not have to pay for the replacement, but money invested in the widening may be lost if the bridge is replaced in the future. GDOT does not have any immediate plans to replace the bridge, which carries an estimated cost of $40 million. The Westside Connector Project Team is evaluating at least 10 concept ideas for this long-range infrastructure plan.

More local road names and the people behind them VALERIE BIGGERSTAFF
Road names sometimes tell where a road leads, such as Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Peachtree Dunwoody Road and Roswell Road. Other times a road is named for an individual or family, such as Roberts Drive, which is named for engineer Isaac Roberts of the
Roswell Railroad. In Dunwoody, there are streets named for the Kellogg family. Kellogg Circle and Kellogg Springs Way in the North Springs neighborhood of Dunwoody are named for the Kellogg family. Forrest and Allie Kellogg came to Dunwoody from Wisconsin and built their home on this land. Ethel Spruill recalled that the Kellogg family held a greased pig contest each July 4th. Subdivision streets are often given names by developers and do not have historic significance to the community. However, some local neighborhoods have streets named for the individuals who developed or lived in the neighborhood. Framons Court in Dunwoody came from the combination of the names Jack Plemmons and his sister Francis. This story was shared with Dunwoody Crier columnist Jim Perkins in 1996. When Corrie and Lorena Huggins moved into the neighborhood, their builder said the earliest houses were built by Jack Plemmons. Chamblee Tucker Road connects Chamblee and Tucker, but the section of this road between Peachtree
DHA’s N O S A E S H T 9
Boulevard and Buford Highway was once known as Carroll Avenue. A 1945 map of DeKalb County shows Lawson General Hospital and Naval Air Station Atlanta located along Carroll Avenue. There is still a Carroll Circle in this area. The road is named for the Carroll family. Julia Carroll was the leader of a women’s group that started Corinth Baptist Church of Chamblee in 1875. The church later became Chamblee Baptist Church. Morgan Falls Road is named for J. Morgan Smith, an inventor who brought his ideas of turbines for water-generated electricity to Atlanta. He founded the Atlanta Water and Electric Power Company with Atlanta businessmen Jack Spalding and Forrest Adair in 1902. Land was purchased on both sides of the Chattahoochee River from the Powers family. The project was known as Bull Sluice but was changed to Morgan Falls after J. Morgan Smith died in 1903. Morgan was not only part of his name, but also his mother’s birth name. There was a Morgan Falls School and store during the early construction of Morgan Falls Dam. Morgan Falls Overlook Park in Sandy Springs includes a kiosk featuring the history of “The Historic Georgia Power Hydroplant.” I was recently asked about the history of the name Manhasset as in Manhasset Drive, Cove, Place, and Circle. I have not found the source of that name yet, but did find out that Dr. Malcolm Turner, an Atlanta dentist, owned a summer home where Manhasset Drive meets Mount Vernon

Choosing the right material for your Exterior Shutters
Brought to you by - Dupbel Millworks, Inc. Shutters can make or break the curb appeal of a house and it is important to consider the different materials that shutters are made of. Prices will vary considerably between the different materials and each will have its own positives and negatives. Let’s take a look at the 4 main ones.
Wood: Very traditional and good looking. Could be pricey depending in the wood species that is used. Stay away from cheaper woods like Poplar or pine that will rot, twist and split within a short period of time. Good species are Western Red Cedar and Cypress. Make sure you add some sort of a cap to the top of the shutter to prevent splitting and make sure your provider seals the wood effectively to prevent rot. Easy to customize size and styles. Easy to repaint depending on the paint used, and special care should be taken to ensure the paint seals the product completely. Vinyl: Cheapest option you can get, but then it will also look like that. The summer heat can play a trick on these where the shutters became brittle with color fading over time. These shutters are typically hollow and not very strong. Its recommended that they are mounted flush against the wall, although some service providers sell hardware kits to mount them on hinges. Vinyl shutters are typically 3 times cheaper than wood or composites, but remember you’ll have to pay for installation 3 times. Limited options available for size, style and color. Difficult to repaint effectively. Composite Wood: Pricing is comparable to wood, and although you get the look and feel of wood, you don’t have the issues that comes using wood. No rotting, swelling, twisting and if it is the right material, no insect damage. There are different composite materials available and not all are rated for extended exterior use, so make sure your provider uses the right stuff (and can prove it). Very long lasting and in some cases you even have environmentally friendly/safe options available. Easy to customize and a good provider should be able to create unique designs and styles perfect for your home. Similar to wood it will need repainting in a few years, but generally easy to do. Can be
mounted on hinges or direct to the wall. PVC: Pricey, so shop around. This stuff will last almost forever and moisture have no effect on it. Heat does play a role and it’s prone to cupping, bending and warping, so make sure your provider adds some form of additional strengthening. Seems that the industry standard is to add metal bracing on the back to prevent some of the issues. Difficult to paint and typically comes in standard colors. Make sure from you provider what steps you’ll have to take when it comes to repainting. Can be mounted flush or on hinges. Dupbel Millworks Inc. manufactures exteriors shutters using only weather resistant materials. Our core business is shutters made from a composite wood material that is rot, insect and weather resistant. This is especially important in Georgia’s hot, humid conditions. Although we carry a series of shutters styles, we are fully equipped to help you design the specific look you desire, and every shutter is custom made based on your house, windows and design. We use your house as our showroom, knowing very well how difficult it can be to see what a specific style of shutter will do the look of your home. We come to your house with samples and will help you to choose the perfect style of shutter for your house. Our business is located in Alpharetta, GA and we are proud to serve the residential and commercial market of North Georgia. We are small enough to provide you with personal attention, yet strong enough to handle complex designs. 678-662-4815

Five landscaping projects to increase curb appeal Brought to you by – Bill Rawlings, Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty In real estate, first impressions make a big difference. Increasing the curb appeal of your home is a smart investment that not only boosts the value of your property but also increases the likelihood that potential buyers will make it through the front door. The most important factor in curb appeal isn’t the amount of money you spend but the wise use of your resources. A few strategic projects can do more than thousands of dollars haphazardly spent. Before you get started, take a moment to critically examine how you RAWLINGS can improve elements like contrast, color and balance, and make a (manageable) checklist. You might be surprised how many of your ideas require more elbow grease than a large budget. 1. Clean up. Something as simple as a thorough cleaning can do wonders to make exteriors more inviting. Sweep your porch and steps, get rid of spider webs and insect nests, power wash or hose down your driveway and
walkways, wash your windows, rake leaves leftover from winter and get rid of miscellaneous clutter. 2. Plant a tree. Trees add beauty and sustainability to the landscape. They also increase property values! You will, of course, want to check which ones grow best in your soil, but flowering and ornamental trees are most popular for front yards. Remember to water well! 3. Refresh your mulch. Old, faded mulch is a bad look for any yard. Fresh mulch adds contrast, helps define flower beds and trees, discourages weeds and keeps the soil moist. Pay attention to quality when you’re shopping and go for natural over synthetic or dyed materials, which often contain contaminants. 4. Balance garden beds for contrast. A well-planned garden bed makes any home easy to love. Layering plants and flowers so that the blooms and greenery are vibrant and interesting at different times of the year is one way to kill many birds with one stone! 5. Update your outdoor furniture. Make sure porch swings and wooden outdoor seating get a fresh coat of paint and consider tossing items that are too worn to be repaired or replaced. Just a few improvements can make a huge impact.

What is an FHA loan? Brought to you by – Dan Griffin, Compass, Inc Atlanta It is a Federal Housing Administration loan, backed by the U.S. government. Applications are submitted directly to a mortgage lender or broker; however, the FHA will typically “buy” the loan from the lender after it is made or guarantee the lender against loss. FHA loans typically require lower down payments and credit scores than most conventional loans, making them a clear favorite among first-time buyers or those with not-so-perfect credit history. What Are the Terms? FHA loans have terms of either 30 years or 15 years. The interest rate is fixed for the entire life of the loan. Closing costs run between 3% to 5% of the total loan amount, and up to 6% can be paid by sellers, builders, or lenders. FHA borrowers are required to pay mortgage insurance (PMI) but can refinance as they build equity and convert to a conventional loan without PMI.
What Are the Qualifications? To qualify for an FHA mortgage, home buyers need a FICO credit score of 580 or higher and a down payment of 3.5% (or a minimum down payment of 10% with a 500 FICO score).

A brief guide to popular interior design styles! Brought to you by - Tuscany Fine Furnishings Looking to make your home a little more…you? Enlisting the help of an Interior Designer is very beneficial to guide you to decipher which interior style you prefer most and learn how to incorporate it into a space you’ll be proud of. Creating a unique interior design style isn’t reserved for only the wealthy or artistic individual. It’s something that can be learned and refined over time, especially if you have the guidance of an interior designer. Here is a simple breakdown of some of the more popular styles: Minimalist Incorporating philosophy and style, minimalism emphasizes beautiful, functional pieces. Uses monochromatic colors, with maybe one color as a pop of
interest & highlights one or two architectural features or decor pieces. It gives a sense of an open airy feel and has a serene uncluttered feel. Mid-Century Modern Making a comeback from the 1940’s it’s a classic style, using both clean lines and comfortable materials, like woods and leathers alongside expressive patterns and tactile textures. Look for retro pieces and classics like the Eames lounge chair to bring this style to your space. Industrial The Industrial style highlights exposed roughshod beams and aged brick, metals like copper, brass and iron, while balancing the looks roughness with stubby textures like jute and linen and well-worn leather and warm wood. Iron pipe furniture are a fantastic way to introduce an industrial element to a space that doesn’t have industrial style-friendly features
like exposed bricks etc. This is just a sampling of the many interior design styles out there and narrowing it down to which one would suit you best is where the help of an experienced interior designer will be beneficial to you! We are always happy to help!

Can the pace of home remodeling continue? Brought to you by - Remodeling Expo Center Throughout 2021 home remodeling seemed virtually unaffected by the Covid pandemic. Home sales continue to be robust, but the pace of home remodeling is even greater. New home buyers tend to remodel as soon as they move into their new home, but the remodeling craze seems to apply to everyone. “Our Kitchen and Bathroom remodeling business has experienced a 75% year over year increase” says John Hogan, president of Remodeling Expo Center, “and we don’t see any slowdown in sight”. There’s been a rapid change to supply chains in our entire economy and while some businesses are suffering, others are prospering. Demand for products and services are at record levels and businesses are required to re-think their supply chain from end to end; those businesses that creatively maneuver around the supply chain issues are
PROVIDED
prospering. “Last year we re-focused all of our purchasing to those suppliers with local inventory, so we get instant access to products, then we diverted custom built products to smaller, more nimble suppliers, and finally we began to inventory some items so our remodeling jobs could get started faster and eliminate job progress interruptions. These changes weren’t easy but without them we couldn’t be in the hyper-growth mode that we’re presently experiencing, says Bobbie Kohm, Vice President of Remodeling Expo Center, “Turnkey Design-Build companies, like us, keep the process very simple”. Low interest rates are going to be around for a long time and investment in our homes is likely to continue. For more information on Remodeling Expo Center (RemodelingExpo.com), contact them at their showroom at 48 King Street in Roswell or at 404-910-3969.

SYDNEY DANGREMOND/APPEN MEDIA
Brandon Houston, a representative of developer Trammel Crow Company shares plans for a 22-story office, food and retail development which would be located at 246 Perimeter Center Parkway at a Dunwoody Development Authority meeting April 21.
Development Authority hears plans for new Perimeter Center building By SYDNEY DANGREMOND sydney@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Development Authority members heard a presentation April 21 about a proposed new 22-story office, food and retail building in the Perimeter Center area. Brandon Houston, a representative of developer Trammel Crow Company, shared plans for the development which would be located at 246 Perimeter Center Parkway. The project, Houston said, is still “very much in the concept stage.” The area currently serves as a parking lot near a MARTA station and the Atlanta Marriot Perimeter Center Hotel. Houston’s presentation was informational because the project is awaiting zoning approval, but he did share estimated costs and revenues with the board, in preparation for a potential tax abatement request later on in the process. The development’s total budget, Houston said, is $187 million. Houston’s next steps will be to bring the proposal before the Dun-
woody Planning Commission before taking it before the City Council for two votes. Trammell Crow is the same developer behind the Twelve24 office building development in the Perimeter Center area. Houston served as the principal on that project as well. Dunwoody Economic Development Director Michael Starling said Houston would return before the authority in June with more information on the project. The development will likely become part of a larger push to redevelop and invigorate the Perimeter Center area of Dunwoody, referred to as Edge City 2.0. Also during the meeting, board members made plans for a joint retreat with the City Council for May 19 at City Hall. The retreat will serve to inform newly elected City Council members about the purpose and goals of the Development Authority as well as share the entity’s plans for redevelopment all over the city, Starling said.
