The CIP is a plan for both long and short-range development of the physical plant of city government. The CIP recommends the use of the projected revenues for capital purposes expected over the next five years. Included in the CIP is a general financial plan for funding those projects over the entire five-year period. The program is based on the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), also known as the Atlanta Strategic Action Plan (ASAP), for the City and provides policy direction for the capital funds budgeted in the annual budget, implementation of the Georgia Development Impact Fee Act, for the annual General Obligation Bond issue and for either capital fund sources. The CIP includes projects and expenses typically considered “infrastructure” - streets, sewer lines, bridges, as well as facilities through which city government provides services directly to citizens or in support of city operations. The latter category includes such facilities as police precincts, recreation centers, maintenance facilities, and general office buildings. The CIP covers all facilities that City government owns, operates and maintains. This document is submitted with the CDP to the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) annually, as required by the Georgia Planning Act. The CIP is intended to insure that needed projects will be undertaken according to an established set of priorities and that revenues will be available to finance such projects when they are needed. The CIP combines elements of mid-range programming, and current year budgeting to identify the city’s capital needs and the means of meeting them, with the process covering a five-year period. The CIP identifies specific improvements to city infrastructure and facilities needed to support and implement CDP. The CIP also encourages each department and City agency to establish an internal planning process to identify capital needs with a sufficient lead-time so that decisions may be made on the most advantageous financial means of addressing them. The Capital Improvements Program consists of three elements: Planning Long-range capital improvements are developed for each year of City government for up to five years. Programming Known and anticipated revenues from various sources are programmed in the CIP and a financing package is developed for all recommended projects. Budgeting The one-year element of the CIP directs the budgeting of various capital and operating funds that are part of the City’s annual budget development process. City of Atlanta Capital Improvements Program-Short Term Work Program Introduction The CIP is adopted annually in late September or early October, while the annual budget is adopted in June or early July. It is our goal to use the forecasted spending on capital projects identified in the CIP to create the next year’s capital budget. This allows the City to incorporate the priorities from the CIP in the next year’s budget planning. Additionally, the appropriation of the annual general obligation bond sale proceeds, often received in the late fall, is in accordance with the adopted CIP. This timing is intended to provide better direction to the CIP from the CDP, and better linkage with the annual budget by giving more timely input into the budget adoption process. The CIP process is the appropriate medium for operating departments to request programming of funds for future capital needs. The CIP programs known available capital revenues for the subsequent five years, and identifies a financing plan for all projects within the five-year category of the CDP. The actual budgeting of funds follows the City’s normal budget process. Each department and agency of the City government is represented by a chapter in the CIP. The information provided herein was prepared by the staff of each department. Each chapter includes the department mission statement and an organization chart identifying the bureau responsible for the capital projects. The Bureau of Planning and the Department of Planning and Community Development is responsible for compiling and reviewing the CIP submissions for conformity with adopted city development policy and plans. The Department of Finance is responsible for making recommendations as to funding sources and schedules. Legal Basis The Georgia Development Impact Fee Act requires that all developer exaction practices by local governments in the state be discontinued after November 30, 1992, except for those developed in compliance with the Act for strictly project-related improvements. The City of Atlanta Development Impact Fee Ordinance was adopted by Atlanta City Council on March 18, 1993 in accordance with the Authority provided by Article 9, Section 2, paragraph 4 of the Constitution of the State of Georgia and the Georgia Development Impact Fee Act (Title 36, Chapter 71, Official Code of Georgia Annotated.) In 1997, the City appropriated $6.4 million for eight greenway trails, 21 sidewalk improvements projects, one pedestrian bridge, Fire Station #14, Atlanta Police Academy Expansion and the Zone 4 Police Precinct (Ordinance # 97-O-0822). This use of development impact fees reduced the City’s historical reliance on the Annual Bond Fund to accommodate

Designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, the house at 205 The Prado was built in 1910 from locally- quarried granite in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was first home to real estate developer Edwin P. Ansley, founder of Ansley Park, Atlanta’s first automobile suburb. Ellis Arnall, one of the state’s most progressive governors, resided there (1943-47). He was a disputant in the infamous “three governors controversy.” For forty-three years, the mansion was home to twelve governors, until poor maintenance made it nearly uninhabitable. A new governor’s mansion was constructed on West Paces Ferry Road. The granite mansion was razed in 1969, but its garage was converted to a residence. 3 Historical Documentation of the Granite Mansion Edwin P. Ansley Edwin Percival Ansley (see Appendix 1) was born in Augusta, GA, on March 30, 1866. In 1871, the family moved to the Atlanta area. Edwin studied law at the University of Georgia, and was an attorney in the Atlanta law firm Calhoun, King & Spalding.
  • Inventory & Analysis

    Inventory & Analysis

    Inventory & Analysis Overview The Plan’s recommendations will transform the Howard Property from a residential lot into a passive green neighborhood park. The plan provides for quiet, safe woodland setting with carefully renewed native plantings with an internal trail system that connects to the larger Beltline trail that connects to surrounding neighborhoods. Park Description and Context Upper Lawn in 2007 Comprising approximately five acres at 471 Collier Road, the Howard Property is a significant new passive park bounded by Tanyard Creek, Overbrook Drive and Collier Road. Acquired in 2006 to provide the “missing link” for the BeltLine Trail between Tanyard Creek Park and the City of Atlanta’s Bobby Jones Golf Course, the site offers passive opportunities at a neighborhood scale. Trail design by the PATH Foundation, under the auspices of Atlanta BeltLine inc. and the City of Atlanta’s Department of Parks Recreation & Cultural Affairs, was under way spring of 2008. With the assistance of the Trust for Public Land the land assemblage was completed in 2006. Residential structures on the site were demolished in 2007. This Master Plan is to identify and plan for various landscape works to further clean up the site and make it more useable and maintainable. Members of the community expressed a desire to undertake a master planning exercise to identify opportunities for amenities (seating, secondary pathways, plantings, etc.) and management zones (areas for naturalization, passive open lawn space, garden development, etc.) 5 Master Planning Process The Howard Property Master Plan was announced at the BeltLine Subarea Study Group Meeting of May 5, 2008.
