Focus on
Downtown
Development
Development Updates:
Ring Out the Old, Ring in the New
W
ho knows what 2008 will bring? We can tell you a few things: the
Trinity Triangle project will move forward, an old West Ponce
office building will get a new life, a well-known art school will
begin classes in Decatur, and we’ll say a sad goodbye to Mick’s restaurant.
Trinity Triangle
It appears that we are making progress with
the Trinity Triangle project after months
of delay. A demolition contractor has been
hired and will begin interior demolition of
the Relax Inn and the temporary city hall
building during December.
Removal of the buildings should occur the first week in January. Plans are to
demolish these two buildings and what
remains of My Sisters Room and fence the
site. The developer is working with us to
leave much of the existing parking area
open for use by the Depeaux until construction begins next year.
The Dairy Queen will be allowed to remain open for as long as possible. While we
secured an agreement that allows the Dairy
Queen to reopen in the new project, we
continue to look for a temporary location
for them to operate during construction.
315 W. Ponce de Leon Ave.
This 1960s-era office building was sold
this fall. The new owner plans to keep
the existing office building and develop
a residential project on the large surface
parking lot to the rear of the building. A
parking structure to serve both buildings
would be placed at the center of the site.
The Decatur Focus is a joint publication of the City
of Decatur, the Decatur Downtown Development
Authority and the Decatur Business Association. It
is a newsletter intended to provide announcements
and information related to events, activities, and
businesses in the City of Decatur. The purpose of the
newsletter is to promote the city and encourage the
exchange of information among residents, business
owners and the school system. Letters to the editor,
editorials or other opinion pieces are not published.
All press releases, announcements and other information received for publication are subject to editing.
Information found in the Focus is also posted on
Decatur’s official website at www.decaturga.com. The
deadline for submitting articles, announcements or
advertising is the first day of the month preceding
publication. Contact: Editor, Decatur Focus, P.O.
Box 220, Decatur, GA 30031, 404-371-8386; fax
404-371-1593; email: linda.harris@decaturga.com.
We are coordinating meetings between the
developer and residents who live near the
site and hope to have approved plans early
next year.
The Art Institute of Atlanta
The Art Institute of Atlanta recently
opened a campus in downtown Decatur
in the One West Court Square building.
Plans are to start small and add classes over
the next year. A student art gallery will be
in the commercial space fronting W. Ponce
de Leon Avenue behind Quiznos, bringing
much-needed life to this block of W. Ponce
de Leon. We welcome this new organization into downtown Decatur and look forward to meeting the students.
Mick’s Closing
Mick’s was the restaurant that paved the
way for Decatur’s rebirth as a destination
dining center. Financial problems apparently caused the restaurant to close abruptly in November along with several other
restaurants in metro Atlanta that carried
the Mick’s name. Interest in the Decatur
site is very high. We are working with the
property owner to make certain we get the
perfect restaurant for that space.

Neighborhood Sidewalk Improvement Program
The City of Decatur is accepting petitions from neighborhoods for sidewalk improvements.
As part of the Decatur Bond Referendum that was approved in September 2006, $1.5 million was earmarked for sidewalk improvements, including construction of new sidewalks
where none currently exist as well as repair of existing sidewalks.
About $250,000 of this budget was spent in 2007 for sidewalk improvements on Coventry Road, East Lake Drive, Forkner Drive, Madison Avenue, S. Columbia Drive, Underwood Street, W. Ponce de Leon Avenue, Wilton Drive and Winnona Drive.
Major goals of the city’s 2000 Strategic Plan and 2007 Community Transportation Plan
are to provide safe, well-maintained sidewalks on at least one side of every street in Decatur.
A discussion of the city’s pedestrian goals and a map of the sidewalk system are available online in the Community Transportation Plan at www.decaturga.com/transportationplan.
The city-wide sidewalk improvement program began in
2004 with funding from annual appropriations by the City
Commission. About three-and-a-half miles of new and
replacement sidewalks have been built to date. Generally,
priorities have been to:
• Provide safe walking routes to the city’s schools.
• Close gaps in the existing sidewalk system.
• Provide sidewalks where there is a substantial amount
of existing pedestrian traffic and in areas with high volumes of vehicular traffic.
• Respond to citizen requests.
• Repair existing sidewalks in poor condition.
To supplement these traditional priorities, the City Commission has approved a petition
process for the next round of sidewalk improvements. A sample petition is available on the
News Flash page at www.decaturga.com/newsflash.aspx. Residents and neighborhood associations are encouraged to survey their communities to determine support for sidewalk improvements. There is no required minimum level of support. However, wide support from residents
for installation of new sidewalks along a street where no sidewalk exists is desirable.
As part of the criteria listed above, petitions will be considered in the overall development of a proposed scope of work but should not be regarded as the controlling factor. Ultimately, the City Commission will approve sidewalk improvements, considering what is in
the best interests of Decatur’s public safety, health and welfare.
No petition is required to request repairs to existing sidewalks. Repairs may be requested
by emailing sidewalks@decaturga.com or by faxing a request to the Engineering Department at 404-378-5054.
The next phase of sidewalk improvements is planned for 2008. In order to be considered
for this phase, please return your petition to the City Manager’s Office by March 31, 2008.

Art Institute of Atlanta Opens Decatur
Satellite Campus, Classes Start Jan. 8
The Art Institute of Atlanta (AIA) is
opening its first satellite location at
1 W. Court Square in Decatur. Applications are now being accepted for
classes that will begin Jan. 8.
“We’re very proud to be opening
at this location and to be a part of a
community like Decatur, which so
obviously cares about and promotes
the arts,” said President Janet S. Day.
“We chose Decatur for a number of
reasons, including the inquiries we
receive from people who find the
Sandy Springs location too far away
for them.
“It also gives us the chance to
reach out to potential students in
Janet Day of the Art Institute of Atlanta with Decatur Mayor
Newton and Rockdale counties, as
Bill Floyd and City Manager Peggy Merriss
well as part of Gwinnett. And with
the wonderful support of the arts by the Decatur community and the warm welcome, we
knew we would be very much at home!”
Degree Programs
Initially, AIA-Decatur will offer bachelor’s degree programs in advertising, fashion and retail
management, graphic design, interior design, media arts and animation, and Web design
and interactive media. Associate degree programs will be offered in graphic design, and Web
design and interactive media. Diplomas will be awarded in advertising design, digital design,
residential interiors, and Web design.
All required classes for these programs, including general education, will be available
at the Decatur campus. Students whose programs are offered only at the Atlanta campus,
6600 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd., Sandy Springs, can attend general education and other required or elective classes offered at the Decatur campus if it is more convenient.
Students enrolled at the Decatur location may take elective classes at the Atlanta campus
if they wish. And students at both locations can enroll in online classes.

It is time to sign up for the sixth annual Martin Luther King Jr. Service Project on the
weekend of Jan. 19-21. Volunteers will work on 19 senior citizens’ homes in Decatur, making repairs and doing yard work that the elderly homeowners have been unable to afford.
They will work all day Saturday and Monday, with a half-day of work on Sunday afternoon. The traditional celebration dinner will take place on Monday evening.
Jobs are available at every skill level. Skilled trades people, especially roofers, plumbers, electricians and carpenters, are essential to helping these Decatur seniors live safely,
comfortably, and affordably in their homes. Gardeners can lead simple gardening projects.
Other volunteers can assist the logistics team with transporting tools and materials. The
food committee is soliciting donations of sandwiches and homemade desserts to feed the
hungry volunteers.
Whether you are a skilled tradesperson, own a food service business, or just care about
the seniors in our community, please consider volunteering or donating to this worthy project. Monetary
donations are still being accepted.
The MLK Jr. Service Project is sponsored by the
Decatur Preservation Alliance in partnership with the
City of Decatur and other organizations. To donate,

DBA NEWS
State-Of-The-Art Animal Care Facility Coming to Downtown Decatur
New Building Includes After-Hours Emergency Animal Care
The Village Vets, a veterinary practice in
downtown Decatur recently named one
of metro Atlanta’s “Best Vets” by Atlanta
Magazine, has broken ground on a new
state-of-the-art animal care facility. The
practice will relocate to the new facility
next summer
The 11,500-square-foot facility at
217 N. McDonough Street (across from
Decatur High School), will feature the
latest in medical and digital technology,
expanded boarding facilities, and will be
nearly three times the size of the current
practice.
Dr. Will Draper, founder and medical
director of The Village Vets, notes that
“this building will not only establish itself
as home to one of the most innovative,
state-of-the-art veterinary medical practices around, but will also complement
the beautiful, historic downtown
Decatur landscape. We are excited
to offer such a unique facility to our
present and future clients and their
pets.”
In addition, the Animal Emergency Clinic of Decatur (AECD),
will also be opening in the new facility. AECD will provide emergency animal care on nights, weekends,
and during all major holidays. Due
to the immediate need for this type
of service in the local area, AECD
has recently begun operating on an
interim basis in The Village Vets of Decatur’s existing location at 308 E. Howard
Avenue in the downtown area.
The new facility was designed by
national award-winning local Decatur
architectural firm Lightroom and is being
developed by Oakhurst Capital Partners,
also of Decatur. Ordner Construction, of
Duluth, is serving as general contractor for
the project.

Kudos to Spencer McWhorter, who celebrated his seventh
birthday by helping other kids in need. Instead of presents,
Spencer had a toy drive for children with brain tumors and
asked that kids bring a new unwrapped gift (book or toy) to his
birthday party to be donated to the cause. Thanks to his mom,
Iko Spencer, who helped Spencer with all the details and to
Clairemont Principal Jan Goodloe, who suggested he expand
the birthday party to a toy drive at school. Spencer collected
more than 100 gifts from his school and birthday party and
they were donated to the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation.
Spencer is pictured surrounded by the donated gifts.
