Demolition of the abandoned shopping center on Moores Mill Road could begin after the first of the year to make way for a new, $40-million center anchored by a Publix grocery store, City Councilwoman Felicia Moore said this month. It’s been a big song and dance,” Moore told members of the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods on Aug. 13, “but the project is going to happen.” Moore, who has been working on the project for about a decade, said she believed that demolition of the center at the corner of Moores Mill and Bolton roads would be scheduled during the first quarter of 2016. Edens, a South Carolina-based development company, is ready to move forward with the project, which would include a 45,000-square-foot Publix supermarket, retail shops and apartments, Moore said. Invest Atlanta, the city’s economic development arm, committed $500,000 for a road extension that would create a signalized entrance to the mixed-use project. Moore said an additional $800,000 is needed to build the road extension that would connect Moores Mill to Marietta SEE MOORE, PAGE 3
Margaret Mitchell didn’t live here, but this neighborhood keeps her name on the map BY JOHN RUCH
johnruch@reporternewspapers.net
The famed author of “Gone With the Wind” never lived in the Buckhead neighborhood that now bears her name. As the local Margaret Mitchell Civic Association puts it, “Peggy never lived this ‘far out.’” But residents love the unusually named neighborhood for its greenery, family-oriented environment and outstanding schools. “People are desperate to get into our neighborhood,” says Kate Burke, who knows the Margaret Mitchell neighborhood as both a local real estate agent and as a resident of leafy Sequoyah Drive. She lives there with husband, Wells, son Owen, daughter Margaret, and dogs Foxy and Eena. The civic association defines the neighborhood as running along West Wesley Road to the west of I-75, roughly between Moores Mill Road and Nancy Creek. The neigh-
borhood took its name, the homeowners group says in its website, from a local elementary school named for the Atlanta writer whose friends called her “Peggy.” The local school now is named for Atlanta busiWhere nessman Morris Brandon, whose sons contribYou uted the land. Live Burke said schools help define the neighborhood. “We are sandwiched between the best public elementary school and the triad of the three best private schools,” she said, referring to the Lovett School, Trinity School and The Westminster Schools. The schools have helped spark a “complete transformative turnover” in demographics, she said. “It used to be empty-nesters. Now it’s strollers,” she said. SEE MARGARET, PAGE 4

Police install car tag readers If you’ve stolen a car, have an expired tag or no insurance, new tag reader technology installed in some Atlanta Police patrol cars will know immediately. Zone 2 Commander Van Hobbs told the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods at its Aug. 14 meeting that the tag readers were operational and in use in the community. Hobbs said the camera technology constantly scans motor vehicle licenses plates on the streets. If the car is reportB RI E F S ed stolen or has a violation, the patrolman behind the wheel is alerted instantly. Hobbs said similar tag readers have been installed in Buckhead Atlanta’s parking areas and will soon be at Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square malls.

Boulevard. Moore said she is awaiting word on possible funding from the Atlanta Regional Commission in September. She said if that didn’t work, she had other funding ideas including using money from the city’s recently approved infrastructure bond. In June, Atlanta City Council voted to provide $800,000 to help complete the project because federal funds for the road extension had been held up in Congress. Moore had ushered through an or-
dinance to use money from the city’s transportation impact fee fund before the developer walked away, but wound up voting against her own legislation when an amendment was added by Councilmember Keisha Lance Bottoms to allow council members to use the impact fee fund for projects in their districts. Council members were warned that spreading the unallocated impact fee funding to all the districts was not allowed under current city guidelines and could face a legal challenge. The council ultimately repealed the legislation.

“It’s a very, very young neighborhood.” “I ride my bike with my son to kindergarten” at Morris Brandon, she said, describing the daily parade of parents. The neighborhood is largely comprised of single-family homes, including many 1950s ranch-style houses on large lots. Burke said that demand is so high, the latest three home sales were unlisted, and one went for $90,000 above the asking price. The Margaret Mitchell Civic Association is a major local organization that has a seat on the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods. The $250 annual membership fee pays for a private security patrol and several ongoing social events and seasonal parties.
Burke said she’s partial to the “Wine Not? Ladies’ Night Out.” Held four times a year, it’s an event where attendees bring a bottle of wine and their own glass so the host doesn’t have to clean up. “That’s one of the better events for ladies,” she said. “The best event in our neighborhood is Halloween,” Burke said. “Everybody goes down to the Morris Brandon Primary Center dressed up” and enjoys a free dinner. “Then the trick-or-treat is on. It’s crazy—so crazy I have my mom visit from Kentucky to man the door. You buy your candy at Costco, not at Kroger.” That’s one of the ways Margaret Mitchell is “a true neighborhood. People come out in droves.”

Q&A
STREET TALK
There’s a proposal to legalize casino gambling in Georgia. Would you support or oppose a casino opening somewhere in metro Atlanta?
“I would probably vote to allow it to increase jobs, boost the economy and increase funds for the HOPE scholarship. I would also be concerned about the riffraff it might bring in, but I’m not as concerned about that because it’s not in my neighborhood.”
“I think there’s nothing wrong in having a casino in Georgia.”
Meg Sessions
“I would have mixed emotions. I would want to see more statistics on comparable cities that have legalized gambling in terms of crime rates and gambling addictions. And I would also have concerns about poorer families statistically spending more of their income gambling.”
“I would have to look at the pros and cons and see what is done in other states…I could go either way. I know it’s a cliché, but the devil’s in the details.”

“I would be highly in favor of it. I’d be excited about it. I love to go to the casino. I love to go eat and I love to go gamble.”
“I think it would bring money and entertainment to the city — as long as there’s not a ton of casinos.”
Sam Carlile, with son Nash
“Opposed. Because I like going on vacations to do my gambling.”
Josh Betts “I know in Florida a lot of the proceeds go toward education, so if there was some benefit to it I would be in favor of it.”
Amy Small
“Right now I do not have a stance on legalizing gambling in Atlanta. However, I do believe that many of the pros and cons balance each other out. For instance, the increase in tourism may attract a different crowd into the city, but on the other end it would bring in a lot of revenue. The revenue would then be put towards the HOPE scholarship, which would allow for more students to be awarded financial aid.”
Anne Claire Pittman
AUG. 21 – SEPT. 3, 2015 | www.ReporterNewspapers.net
“I really don’t have a strong opinion either way. I wouldn’t support it or be against it. If people want to gamble, I don’t care. I don’t consider myself a big supporter of gambling, but I don’t think the government has the right to tell people they can’t do it since the state currently operates the only legal gambling in the state with the lottery.”
Bill Selvey
“I would support it — more revenue for the state to help fund programs. The lottery funds the HOPE scholarship. Maybe casino gambling can do the same.”
Ravi Patel “My personal opinion [is] if they could control the crime elements, it could be positive, bring a lot of income [to the area]...”
Calvon Moore, with granddaughter Kara Croon
“I would probably support it. Additional tax revenue would presumably reduce the tax burden on the citizens and retard future tax growth.”

Apartment boom sparks debate about Perimeter’s future BY JOHN RUCH
johnruch@reporternewspapers.net
An apartment development boom is reshaping the new Perimeter cities and sparking debates about density, traffic and quality of life. From the new Mercedes-Benz USA headquarters project in Sandy Springs to the old Hastings Nursery in Brookhaven, residents are packing neighborhood gatherings and city zoning meetings in order to push back against massive apartment plans. This week, an apartment proposal even triggered friction between cities, with Brookhaven’s mayor complaining of lack of input on a Sandy Springs border project. Yet, at the same time, city officials argue that mixed-use apartment complexes will give them attractive, walkable downtowns where outmoded, car-centered suburban strip malls now stand. That creative tension will continue along with the apartment trend, real estate and planning experts say. Apartments are the growth area of residential development, driven by “a switch from ‘I rent because I have to’ to ‘I rent because I want to,’” said Ron Cameron, a senior vice president at Colliers International-Atlanta who specializes in multifamily real estate investment. Millennials and retiring baby boomers drive the trend to create new “live-work-play” places such as Brookhaven’s TOWN/Brookhaven and Sandy Springs’ planned City Center project, according to Cameron. “The bottom line is, who wants to live in a place

that’s not a place?” says Michelle Alexander, Sandy Springs’ director of community development. The irony is that Brookhaven, Dunwoody and Sandy Springs incorporated partly out of concerns that apartment projects were overwhelming single-family neighborhoods. Dense apartments have been viewed as generators of traffic, crime and infrastructure strains. Some new projects are replacing older apartments with new, luxury-oriented models,
but many of these criticisms remain. Two apartment-complex owners sued the city of Dunwoody in 2013, accusing the city of trying to force low-income apartments out of business. The lawsuit was dropped, but it illustrates the sense of tension in a city that the head of the Dunwoody Homeowners Association says is now roughly half homeowners and half renters.

enough’s enough?” City Councilman Graham McDonald asked at that meeting. The 2012 City Center master plan contained projections for how many new apartments the area market would bear in coming years. After approval of a multi-use project on Roswell Road in July, the city passed the number of apartments it had projected for 2017 and was closing in on its 2022 numbers. Cameron said that is part of an Atlanta market boom. About 11,000 new multifamily units—including apartments and condos—have been built in the past seven quarters in metro Atlanta, he said. There is still plenty of demand, as suggested by rents continuing to climb: 5.5 percent last year and more than 7 percent higher so far this year. Millennials are a huge demographic that demands “mobility and flexibility” in housing, Cameron said. They don’t
want to drive everywhere, and in today’s market, they can “rent a place as nice any [house] they could dream of having.” Retired baby boomers are another growing demographic moving away from high-maintenance, single-family homes. Cameron said market experts estimate that by 2030, the number of U.S. renters age 65 and older will more than double to 12.2 million. With that kind of momentum, the question is not whether the Perimeter will have more apartments, but where they will go and how they will mix with their surroundings. The only slowdown in sight, Cameron said, is rents eventually outpacing incomes. “The thing we talk about a lot in our business is the affordable component,” Cameron said. “At some point in time, the millennial renter is going to say, ‘No mas.’”

Dan Sasser loves coming and going as he pleases. That’s just one of many reasons he chose Canterbury Court to be his home. “I left a tenured position so I could live wherever I wanted. Then I retired at 60 and was working part time when I discovered Canterbury Court. I thought, ‘How wonderful it would be to live there.’” When he decided to move to Canterbury Court, he chose a studio apartment, which he says “is more than big enough for me.” The maintenance-free lifestyle also lets him keep a second home in Florida and take frequent road trips. Dan says people are “missing the boat” by not moving to a retirement community sooner. “Here you have several restaurant options, all kinds of activities and excursions, a theater with daily showings, a heated pool and wellness center, 11 acres of beautiful gardens ... it’s like being on a permanent vacation!”

Most people mainly associate Girl Scouts with their popular eponymous cookies, but Dunwoody High School senior Sydney Holmes is proving that there is so much more to Girl Scouts than Samoas and Thin Mints. In her junior year, Sydney, who has been a Girl Scout since seventh grade, was horrified to discover that Atlanta is the number one city in America for sex trafficking. Sydney decided to devote her Girl Scout Gold Award project, entitled “Human Trafficking: Stop it HERE and THERE,” to fight human trafficking through increasing awareness. With the help of local author Lorraine Fast, Sydney created a seminar that she led at a local after-school center for over 100 children. “Because the subject matter itself of trafficking is very graphic and not appropriate for younger children, my project was not to educate about trafficking, but how to remain safe and be aware of their surroundings, and know who trustworthy people are to help them make safe decisions,” said Sydney. “My seminar started with [training in] ‘good touch/bad touch,’ ‘stranger danger,’ knowing the ‘friendly enemy’ (the potential trafficker) and the tricks they use to lure kids in, and cyber safety.” Sydney was not content simply helping children locally. On a mission trip to Costa Rica, she donated items to an after-school clubhouse, had all seminar materials translated into Spanish and helped give the seminar six times at four different schools, reaching 250 children. “I wanted to teach children in my community [and in Costa Rica] that is

OK to tell an adult ‘no’ if they want to touch your private areas or take inappropriate pictures, or ask you to keep secrets from your parents,” she said. For her work fighting human trafficking, Sydney was honored as Scout of the Year by the Dunwoody/Sandy Springs Veterans of Foreign Wars chapter and placed third in the state of Georgia. “Sydney has shown that she is diligent, she follows through on all projects, she is a team player and she can accomplish tasks in a courteous and timely manner,” said Sydney’s Girl Scout Troop Leader, Bobbe Gillis. “Sydney lives by the Girl Scout law and upholds the principles of scouting in all her interactions. It has been a pleasure to watch her grow socially, intellectually and emotionally. I believe she is well equipped to excel in a college environment.” Outside of Girl Scouts, Sydney is coconsul of the Latin Club and participates in cross country, track and field, and chorus. Her favorite subjects are social studies and Latin.

Morris Brandon expanding with new media center, classrooms BY ELLEN ELDRIDGE
Elleneldridge@reporternewspapers.net
Morris Brandon Elementary School’s construction will continue at both its campuses, but the first phase of renovations is complete, school officials say. The school’s Primary Center, which opened in 2009 for kindergarten through first grade to alleviate overcrowding, now also contains a media center, three new classrooms and two office spaces, Principal Kara Stimpson said. The expansion was completed over the summer, Stimpson said. The first phase of construction began in May and the second phase is scheduled to be completed by December. A groundbreaking took place in July, Stimpson said. The 13,474-square-foot project expands and renovates the existing primary school, which was originally built in 1954. Extensive renovations in 2009 added a three-story classroom wing and added to the auditorium. The current addition, scheduled for completion in December, consists of a gymnasium/auditorium, relocated media center, new music room, additional classrooms, offices and support spaces, and a unified, terraced soccer field / playground and play court.
The second phase involves ongoing work for adding space so second graders can join the Primary Center. One gym, one music room and four traditional classrooms will be available for programming. “As a two-campus school, it will be huge for us to have the teachers in their own classrooms,” Stimpson said. Jere Smith, the director of capital improvements at Parrish Construction Group, said the Atlanta Public Schools several years ago adopted a model design for several schools, including Morris Brandon, that allowed separate buildings to house different grades. “It served the student population better to have the school remain together, but split the campuses [to combat crowding],” he said. Now that the new playground is open, students and parents are getting more excited about the renovation, Stimpson said. “They’ve been expecting to see this for a few years and they are excited to know we are going to have the space we need,” Stimpson said. “There are some growing pains, but overall people are really excited.”
