    March 5, 2007 The Honorable Connie Stokes, Commissioner DeKalb County Commission 1300 Commerce Drive, 6 th Floor Decatur, Georgia 30030 RE: Emory Village, Druid Hills Historic District Dear Commissioner Stokes: On behalf of the National Association for Olmsted Parks (NAOP), we are writing to urge the DeKalb County Commission to file the proposed zoning overlay for Emory Village in the Druid Hills DeKalb Historic District in order to reconsider the approach to the plan for revitalization of this small commercial center. While we have admiration for the effort to strengthen the vitality of Emory Village, we have serious concerns about the impact that the scale of the development permitted by the proposed zoning overlay would have on Frederick Law Olmsted’s last suburb. Any zoning created for Emory Village should respect the scale and look of the surrounding late nineteenth century-planned and early twentieth century-developed neighborhood. The proposed zoning overlay appears to impose an early twenty first century development scheme in the center of the Historic District, presumably protected by the County because of its immense value as an historic resource. As the National Register nomination for Druid Hills indicates, “Druid Hills is the finest example of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century comprehensive suburban planning and development in the Atlanta metropolitan area, and one of the finest turn-of-the-century suburbs in the southeastern United States.” We are currently seeking to assist Riverside (Illinois), Olmsted’s first suburb, in their effort to maintain their sense of place in the face of a transportation-related proposed development in their center.

    Report and Opinion

    Report and Opinion Concerning the Impact of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Cultural Landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, Illinois Including the Project’s Compatibility with Basic Policies of the Lakefront Plan of Chicago and the Purposes of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance By: Malcolm D. Cairns, FASLA Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 15, 2018 Assessing the Effect of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Historic Landscape of Jackson Park Prepared by: Malcolm Cairns, FASLA; Historic Landscape Consultant For: The Barack Obama Foundation Date: May 15, 2018 Statement of purpose and charge: To develop the historic landscape analysis that places the proposal to locate the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park in its proper historic context. This investigation was undertaken at the request of Richard F. Friedman of the law firm of Neal & Leroy, LLC, on behalf of the Barack Obama Foundation. The assignment was to investigate the proposed Obama Presidential Center master plan and to assess the effect of the project on the historic cultural landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, a park listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This investigation has necessitated a thorough review of the cultural landscape history of Jackson Park, the original South Park, of which Jackson Park was an integral part, and of the history of the Chicago Park and Boulevard system. Critical in this landscape research were previous studies which resulted in statements of historic landscape significance and historic integrity, studies which listed historic landscape character-defining elements, and other documentation which provided both large and small scale listings of historic landscape form, structure, detail, and design intent which contribute to the historic character of the Park.
