Our Future 2030 Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Introduction The Comprehensive Plan for Cobb County, Georgia is mandated by the Georgia Planning Act 634 (Georgia Law 1989, pp. 1317-1391). This act requires that each jurisdiction in the state prepare and implement a Comprehensive Plan, which is reviewed by the regional development center. For Cobb County, the regional development center is the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). The rules and regulations of the Act “are intended to provide a framework to facilitate and encourage coordinated, comprehensive planning and development at the local, regional, and state government level”. Chapter 110-12-1- .02 - .08 of the act sets minimum standards for each jurisdiction. This includes preparing the Community assessment, Public Participation Program, and Community Agenda. The new standards are intended to provide a framework for preparation of local comprehensive plans that will; “involve all segments of the community in developing a vision for the community’s future; generate local pride and enthusiasm about the future of the community; engage the interest of citizens in implementing the plan; and provide a guide to everyday decision-making for use by local government officials and other community leaders.” These standards help the community address critical issues and opportunities while moving toward realization of its vision for the future. The Cobb 2030 plan is an update to the 1995 – 2015 Comprehensive Plan. The 2030 plan will build upon and enhance the vision created in the 1995 document. This will assist the community in preparing for the social, economic, and cultural changes that we are experiencing and providing a vision of what the community wants to be in the future. Community Assessment 1 Mapping Our Future 2030 Comprehensive Plan The remainder of this document covers the first of three sections that will comprise the overall Cobb 2030 plan. The Community Assessment is meant to be a professional, objective analysis of data and information about the community. This is mainly a staff run process that provides a solid foundation for the creation of the future vision. The Community Assessment includes the following segments: • Issues and opportunities; • Analysis of existing development patterns; • Evaluation of current community policies • Analysis of data and information The result of this analysis is a concise and informative report that will be used to inform Steering Committee members, appointed officials, elected officials, and the community- at-large during the development of the Community Agenda. Community Assessment 2 Mapping Our Future 2030 Comprehensive Plan Issues and Opportunities The purpose of the Issues and Opportunities list is to provide an all-inclusive series of potential

    Geologic Guide to Stone Mountain Park

    GEOLOGIC GUIDE TO STONE MOUNTAIN PARK by Robert L. Atkins and Lisa G. Joyce Georgia Department of Natural Resources Georgia Geologic Survey GEOLOGIC GUIDE 4 Common Misconceptions About Stone Mountain An average of four million people visit Stone Mountain Park each year. Very little geologic information is available to these visitors. With this lack of information, some misconceptions have developed concerning Stone Moun­ tain and the granite named after the mountain. Several of these misconcep­ tions are discussed below. MYTH 1: Stone Mountai n granite underlies half of Georgia, all of Geor­ gia, three states, seven states, etc. FACT: The Stone Mountain Granite is a relatively small unit. It extends northward to U.S. 78, southward to the park boundary, and its western contact lies within the park limits. It extends eastward towards C enterville (see Geologic Map of the Stone Mountain Area, p. 12-13). MYTH 2: Stone Mountain is the largest exposed granite outcrop in the world. FACT: Stone Mountain's size is quite inspiring. It probably is the largest granite dome east of the Mississippi River, as it rises approxi­ mately 750 feet (ft) above the surrounding topography; how­ ever, it is not the largest dome in the world. Many granite domes in the Sierras in the western United States are larger. MYTH 3: Stone Mountain is 300 million years old. FACT: The granite that forms Stone Mountain is approximately 300 million years old, but the mountain itself has only been exposed for approximately 15 million years. MYTH 4: Stone Mountain used to be a volcano. FACT: Although Stone Mountain Granite, like all other granites, is igneous in origin, it was formed quite differently from a volcano.

The predictions were pretty simple, follow instructions provided by all the services and do it early. For amateur radio operators, and particularly the ARES groups, that means get your gear in order and make ready for possible deployment. The North Fulton ARES is very lucky to have two fellows integrated into the Sandy Spring Fire and Rescue and the Sandy Springs Police Department who practice with teams weekly and know the key individuals within those organizations. This clearly gives us an Grant. KK4PCR advantage communicating with these two groups. These two individuals are Mike Cohen (AD4MC) and Tom Koch (W4UOC), the latter a long time EC for the North Fulton ARES. While Tom operates somewhat in the background, he still remains in touch with the activities of the North Fulton ARES and is a guiding force for the group. Mike (AD4MC) started his emails early in getting the message out for a possible deployment. His emails included a link to a sign-up sheet for the various locations: the Sandy Springs Police Department, Sandy Springs EOC, Fire Stations 51, 52 and 54, your home shack and the North American Mission Board. The North Fulton ARES and the North Fulton Amateur Radio League responded with 30 volunteers. Tom (W4UOC) has some history with the North American Mission Board, providing radio communication Fred, KK4JYO during past storms.
