4. Reports from City Departmental Representatives
• Atlanta Fire Department – Station 19 North Highland; Station 29 Monroe
We have two main topics tonight - Christmas lights and trees - be sure trees are watered and unplug lights when
you go to bed. We have had 2 house fires due to lights so far this season. Use surge protector plugs if you can.
Fires have been down so far, so mostly dealing with paramedic calls.
• Atlanta Police Dept. - Zone 6 - Major Peek, Capt. McGee; Zone 2 - Major Hobbs, Capt. Steeds
Major Hobbs - Holiday plan put in place in Nov. is working and we are seeing reductions in crimes. We still see
the typical things - car break ins, keys left in cars, etc. We are already planning for New Year’s Eve - we will go to
12 hours shifts to ensure adequate staffing. Please use designated drivers if you will be drinking - we will have
plenty of enforcement out there to keep an eye on things.
Major Peek - We have had a reasonable decrease in crime, we are pleased with that. Update on string of
robberies - one camera has been added on Maiden Lane, trees and over growth has been cleared and lighting has
been upgraded, heavily patrolling that area to keep things under control. Thanks to those who supported the Zone
6 toy drive as we were able to support all the needs and requests.
Questions/Comments:
What authority does an APD officer hired by a building have to ignore red lights, etc.?
As soon as the officer steps into the intersection the officer is taking control of the intersection. The officer’s action
supersedes the traffic light, etc.

No report
• Trees Committee – Charlotte Gillis
Stephanie Coffin - Google is coming through and installing wires for fiber. There is a lot of severe tree cutting
involved. They have stopped for a short period of time to re-evaluate the pruning due to contact to Mary
Norwood’s office. Hopefully this will end with some improvement. Google’s pruning is different than the Georgia
Power pruning, Google’s is more towards the middle of the tree which is more stressful for the tree. The supervisor
for Google has agreed to attend our NPU meeting and discuss these practices. Fabiola Stokes will appear at
January’s meeting.
Issues have also been raised about AT&T and Verizon - they are doing the same type of pruning, but a bit spottier.
There are many sub-contracted crews out there so it’s difficult to figure out who is responsible and what is going
on.
If you have complaints or concerns, please do contact Google and the Parks Dept.

9. Matters of Voting
Planning Committee announcements
Elizabeth Ann Rezoning Update - we met with Pulte last week to see if there was any compromise in terms of the
number of units. They are still insistent on 89 town homes there. We are still looking to maintain the residential
zoning density. The case will be heard at the ZRB on either Jan. 7 or Jan. 14. If you can attend, your attendance
would be helpful.

Applicant seeks a variance from the zoning regulations to reduce the required half-depth front yard from 17.5 to 5
feet to allow for a covered deck addition (expansion) to an existing single-family dwelling. Applicant also seeks a
variance to increase the required maximum lot coverage from 50% to 53%. (Current lot coverage is 48.77%)

NPU-F: Motion to defer application carries on voice vote.
V-15-337
774 Greenwood
This is a technical revision of a previously approved site plan.
Jan. , 2016
VHCA: No objection or comment.
NPU-F: No action taken.
V-15-344
1170 Cumberland Rd. NE
Jan. 7, 2016
Applicant seeks a variance from the zoning regulations to reduce the required west side yard setback from 7 feet
to 1 foot and to reduce the required rear yard setback from 15 feet to 3 feet to allow for the construction an
accessory structure (detached 2-car) garage. (This has been amended to request a side yard reduction to 4 feet
instead of 1 foot.)
MLPA: Motion to approve with the west side yard setback at 4 feet and the rear yard setback at 3 feet and per the
site plan dated 12-14-15. Motion passed 11-0-0.
NPU-F: Motion to approve application, conditioned on site plan dated 12/15/15, carries on voice vote.
V-15-360*
2531 Lenox Rd.
Jan. , 2016
The applicant seeks a variance to reduce the required frontage and setback from 50 feet to 6 feet (Lenox Road)
and reduce the half-depth front yard set back from 25 feet to 6 feet (Sidney Marcus Blvd) to allow for a mixed-use
storage facility as per Z-15-48.
LMMNA: This lot is located at the northeast corner of Buford Highway and Lenox Road within 300 feet of LMM.
The tract was recently rezoned to O and I (Office and Industrial) to allow for this use. The lot is quite steep and
borders the North Fork of Peachtree Creek. The allowable building area is restricted by the stream buffer and the
topography. However, it would seem that the applicant would have known about the severe topographical
challenges prior to purchasing the property and seeking the zoning change. Application denied, 8-1.
NPU-F: Motion to support the future decision on this property made by Pine Hills Civic Association carries 14-7.
*This site is in NPU-B, but is within 300 feet of NPU-F, so they must attend both meetings. The property was
rezoned from R-100 to O&I many years ago.
Comments from applicant:
Intersection of Buford Hwy./Lenox Rd./Cheshire Bridge Rd. This is the only vacant lot in this area. It has been
rezoned for O&I. It is a 3.5 acre site but with only a little over 1 acre of useable space. The north fork of Peachtree
Creek comes through the site, a sewer line comes through the site, and there is a lot of rock and steep slope here.
A self-storage facility is being proposed, 5 stories tall, designed to look like an office building. We have worked
with the Pine Hills Civic Assoc. to design this in a way that they approve of. It will include a street scape. But to
do this, we need these variances. Ingress/egress is off of Lenox Rd. and Buford Hwy. Due to the new residential
construction in this area, the demand for self-storage is high.

NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING UNIT - F
Questions/Comment:
How high will this be? Apartment buildings that are proposed for across the street will be higher than this
proposed facility. This will be 4 stories above ground.
How many units will it contain? It will contain 600 storage units.
What about the stream buffer? The apron will encroach into the stream buffer a small amount on the Lenox Rd.
side, but we have added additional stream buffer in other areas to make up for that. A stream buffer variance will
be needed. The closest we get to the stream is roughly 60-65 feet, so the encroachment is small.
What is the buildable footprint? Without the variance it’s about 12K land available. With the variance it’s about
20K.
Will there be truck rentals? No
Sidewalks? There is an existing sidewalk and we will landscape from sidewalk to building.
What has Pine Hills decided? They will decide in the morning.
NPU-B? Their meeting is in two weeks.
How many parking spaces? 14 required outside, and under building for loading.
Will any other variances be needed? No
(There was legislation earlier this year sponsored by Councilmember Shook that wanted to add self storage to O&I
and when it came through the NPU, we were not sure what the point of that legislation was. This is the point of
that legislation.)
LMMNA Comment: This would be the 3rd self-storage facility in this area, and while we don’t have a big problem
with the type of facility, we object to trying to shoe horn this on to this site. We did not hear from the applicant on
this, but we consulted with Pine Hills, and it is in our purview to weigh in on this.
Zoning Chair Comment: NPU typically defers to the NPU which has over sight of the site. NPU-B covers much of
Buckhead, Brookhaven, and south on Peachtree to W. Wesley/Peachtree Battle area.

Natasha Berry

concerns, please contact Paul, the Park Tavern owner, as he would like to work with the neighborhood. He has not
added events in several years.
Questions/Comment:
Are oysters raw or cooked? Raw
What is the parking plan? The gravel lot will be used, plus the Grady HS lot, and Uber and Lyft.
Does the city have a noise requirement? Amplified sound is allowed with a decibel limit, but it is hard to measure
sound, and thus the police don’t have a good way to enforce sound limits. We can look at ways to point speakers
in a different direction if noise is an issue.
Will a portion of the meadow be fenced? Yes, with access only for paid patrons, but the fenced portion is part of
the parcel the owner leases from Piedmont Park, and not technically part of the park.

*APAB Honorees from NPU-F for 2015
This year's nominees from NPU F, Lola Carlisle and Jack White, worked so collaboratively during their tenure as
the President and Vice President of the Virginia Highland Civic Association, it would be impossible to honor one
without the other. Not only have they both tirelessly served their community for decades, but their leadership in
support of NPU F has been a model for other Civic Association board members.
Whether it’s defending the Comprehensive Development Plan, leading a discussion group for a an innovative
change to the zoning ordinances or documenting the rich history of the Virginia-Highland neighborhood, they are
present – offering opinions, solutions or advice on how to reach and teach neighbors on how the past, present
and future will impact the community.
Visit The City of Atlanta Web Site – www.atlantaga.gov

NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING UNIT - F
Lola's recent efforts on the Virginia Highland Civic Association Planning and Historic Preservation Committees
spearheaded the preservation movement to “save” historic Fire Station #19 which is now a funded project of the
Renew Atlanta Infrastructure Bond. Further, the committee successfully listed the Virginia Highland neighborhood
on the National Register of Historic Places; an impressive accomplishment, indeed.
Jack's tireless work on our Neighborhood Commercial legislation, Beltline planning, zoning enforcement,
parliamentary procedures and land use planning have made him a resource without peer in our council district.
Although much of their work is in the background, you will find them both at the annual Virginia Highland
Summerfest, our Tour of Homes, and managing the logistics at large neighborhood and NPU meetings. Great
neighborhoods are made up of great neighbors and NPU-F is pleased to honor Lola Carlisle and Jack White for
their many contributions to the neighborhood, council district, and NPU.
