Kittredge Park Meeting

Title: Kittredge Park Meeting
Location: INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON N. DRUID HILLS ROAD
Description: History: Did you know that there is a 33 acre park on North Druid Hills Rd?

There is, and it needs community participation and involvement to make it truly serve our neighborhoods. The park is a mixture of land grants, family and environmental group grants.

Dekalb County has earmarked funds to make the park more accessible to everyone and The Friends of Kittredge Park are working to make this a reality! However, we need your help!

PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND A PARK PLANNING MEETING THIS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2009 FROM 6:30PM TO 8:30PM AT THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON N. DRUID HILLS ROAD.

This will be your chance to provide input to the future of this great resource we have right in our backyard. Come and offer your vision for the park!

Thank you!

Moshe Hiller

President; MHHA
Start Time: 18:30
Date: 2009-12-03
End Time: 20:30

Land Use Proposal

From Commissioner Jeff Rader:

The Board of Commissioners accepted withdrawal of an amendment, proposed by the county planning staff, to DeKalb's comprehensive plan. The amendment would have assigned the Town Center designation to the area surrounding the intersection of North Druid Hills and Briarcliff Roads (30329), currently classified as primarily a Neighborhood Center.

The recommendation by the planning department was the outgrowth of its research started last year when a development proposal, subsequently approved, was under consideration for the Executive Park office complex in the same neighborhood. In the intervening time, my office, with the cooperation of the county administration, was able to secure a Livable Centers Initiative grant to develop a detailed master plan for future development along North Druid Hills Road. For information about that LCI, read my March 22, 2009 update (link below).

Therefore, the commissioners felt it would be premature to make a decision about the land use proposal until the LCI study is complete. The county finally signed the LCI contract in September, followed by a kickoff meeting in October. The heart of the study is soliciting public feedback on its long-term vision for the area under review.
