NPU-D report

1/26/2023

 
At the NPU-D meeting on January 24, 2023, the three liquor and/or wine/beer license applications for businesses in UH were quickly approved in response to motions for approval by the UHNA NPU-D rep.  The question was asked of the new business owner of the property at 1151 Chattahoochee Ave., which is to be a package store for beer/wine/liquor with the name, Affordable Spirits, as to how he saw his new business fitting into and contributing to the development going on in that area of Chattahoochee Ave.  He stated that he was re-purposing the entire building and that it would be an attractive addition to the street."

It was a 2-hour NPU meeting, primarily due to several residents of Bolton neighborhood being very dissatisfied with the activity of the newly elected NPU-D rep.  Motions were made and argued about at length until votes were taken ultimately approving, by quite a large majority, the activity of the new Bolton NPU-D rep.  Happily, there are not time limits artificially placed on NPU meetings so that issues are able to be fully aired.

This is the new
Non-Emergency 911 Number

404-658-6666

Not every call is an Emergency and now you can make a call without tying up the 911 call center. These calls are placed in a que behind emergency calls to speed the response time for life threatening emergencies and crimes in progress.

Depending on the situation, police reports will be filed online or an officer will come to
take the report in person.

See the attached list of examples of when to call 911 and when to use this new Non-Emergency Number
404-658-6666
or other Non-Emergency Help Lines

Focused Workshop #2- Comment until January 27

1/23/2023

 
From ATLZoning2.0;
Before we enter the code-writing phase of this process, we need your help with some of the issues we’ve identified along the way. Please review the context and questions, then provide your thoughts as appropriate.
This second focused workshop has three exercises. Exercises have been divided into two types; Primary Questions and Clarifying Questions. Link to Survey
Primary Questions are intended to be non-technical, big picture questions that provide feedback without needing a familiarity with zoning. We hope that everyone will respond to primary questions.
In contrast, Clarifying Questions are more technical. They involve specific aspects of zoning and are intended for stakeholders who would like to offer more detailed input. Clarifying questions are optional.

Thank you Volunteers! MLK Day of Service

1/18/2023

 
​The MLK Day of Service this past Monday provided an opportunity to get together and help improve the Underwood Hills Park.  A small group of neighbors and teens contributed in a big way in just 2 short hours. We trimmed bushes by the park entrance, removed branches from a downed tree, and cleared brush along the lower field highway wall, filling up 6 large lawn bags and a few large piles the city will remove.  We also picked up 2 large bags of litter and removed a broken soccer goal, a shopping cart, tire, and car battery from the lower field.  
Many thanks to Steven and Nelson Lindsay, Shane and Ryan Murphy, Kristen Hassell, Greta Tibus, Alex Klingsoehr and Malik Harris from North Atlanta High School for coming out and helping make a difference! UHNA is registered on myvoluntier.com for student Community Service Hours.

We'll be planting trees and shrubs in our park with Trees Atlanta on Saturday February 4th, and need volunteers.  Please consider giving back to the neighborhood by signing up here:  (Trees Atlanta singup)

Two Underwood Hill issues on January 24 NPU agenda

1/14/2023

 
From UHNA NPU-D Rep Eva Nason;
There are 2 issues which will be on the January 24 NPU agenda (as well as a Blandtown issue that's close to us).  I don't think any of this is likely to rouse up anybody, unless it's something likely to have a really deleterious effect on the area that people could oppose.

We will send this to the UHNA Steering Committee members before January 23 meeting before I recommend approving the applications on behalf of UHNA.
  1. An LRB application for Affordable Spirits at 1151 Chattahoochee Ave in Underwood Hills. This site does not meet the distance requirements, but we endorsed a waiver for it in March 2017 when the proposed business was to be a boutique liquor store called "Poetic Spirits". Our condition on that, which was later attached to the enabling legislation, was that the business on the site must derive at least 90% of its revenue from liquor, beer, and wine because we did not want another convenience store. The proposed business appears to meet that requirement. This will be on our agenda this month.
  2. An LRB change of agent  request for Dashmart at 1360 Seaboard Industrial Blvd in Underwood Hills. We just approved a new business application for them in August, so I guess they have a lot of employee turnover. This will be on our agenda this month.
  3. A special event called Mental Awakening 2023 at 1611 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd at Steady Hand Brewery in Blandtown (across the street from Top Golf) on April 1st. I don't know much about this, but it will be a voting item for us, which probably means alcohol. This will be on our agenda this month.
NPU meetings are open to the public, should you wish to attend.
You can also subscribe to notices via our Calendar
Contact UHNA NPU-D Rep Ms Nason with questions or concerns.
