Title: Town Hall Meeting
Location: Peachtree Baptist Chuch 2108 Briarcliff Rd NE Atlanta, GA 30329
Description: Dear Residents,

As a result of the meeting with the DeKalb Planning Department, we were able to get the redevelopment of 1489 LaVista Road changed from "Minor" changes to "Major" changes, allowing us to have at least some input in the redevelopment of the property.

We will be holding a town hall meeting Monday Night at 7pm at Peachtree Baptist Church in order to bring you up to date with where we are and get your input.

This is a Woodland Hills meeting only. It is our job to represent you to the best of our abilities and act on your behalf. Please come and voice your thoughts and opinions.

Sincerely,

WHNA Board of Directors
Start Time: 19:00
Date: 2010-09-27
End Time: 20:00

1489 LaVista Road Redevelopment

Dear Residents,
First and foremost I want to say thank you to the 40-50 residents that packed the room for this meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was to determine if the changes proposed to the property were minor (meaning they would be approved and that would be the end of it) or were the changes major (meaning a meeting with the Board of Commissioners).
The arbitrator ruled that the changes to the property are major, meaning we will have a say in the development of this property.  Ultimately we were able to achieve this result because of your passion and belief in this neighborhood.  THANK YOU.
Unfortunately, this isn't the finish line.  Its the starting line.  Where we go from hear next is up in the air.  It could be a GDOT meeting regarding the true impact of this property on LaVista Rd if they were granted full access, or it could be the Board of Commissioners.
When I know more, you will know more.
Thanks again for all of your efforts and support.
Sincerely,
Brad Grulke
WHNA President
