I am aWhat time period do you think should be covered by a Historic Designation in Candler Park for the following property types?Would you call the place you live Contributing or Non-Contributing to the historic character of Candler Park? Think about when it might’ve been built and also what it looks like today.What is the max # of units you’d be comfortable with on traditional 50-foot-wide lots? R-5-C currently allows 3 units (2 primary + 1 accessory dwelling) and R-4 allows 2 units (1 primary + 1 accessory).Do you see issues associated with more or less units?A residential lot has many functions—lots reduce flooding by retaining runoff, cool the city by preserving trees, and buildings provide places for a growing number of Atlantans to live. In trying to balance these functions, how much of the Lot Coverage are you comfortable with allowing development on?Do you have any other comments, questions, or concerns?

I don't want a historic district. what option would I have selected for that?
Contributing (Historic)
My house would be designated a contributing structure, but I do not want a historic district. Our neighborhood was development during a time when black residents were displaced and this was an all white neighborhood. That's not a great story to uphold. If we do become a HD all houses built within period should have a marker that states this was built during a whites only zoning regulation.

Our house was built in 1930 and is very architecturally similar to a few on our block, and immediate vicinity. I love the look of a 1930s bungalow in general, and love that a few houses get to tell a similar design story from a moment in time in Atlanta.

I do see issues with less units, especially with the growing population of Atlanta I think it really matters to have more units available. If we want to preserve the look and feel of the neighborhood, we should be allowing growth while preserving the feel. More units within same dwelling should help us grow but also keep our feel, putting off the need for any high rises.

I believe we should be able to give up tree coverage for additional units, but not large yards that aren't benefiting community. Not sure that's avoidable though.

Just adding on ADU and an existing house, I think that's the most that's feasible without blowing up and back the existing structure while being sensitive to lot coverage. I also think that density should be the same for all of CP and not split like it is now with R4 & R5
a little more (up to 60%)
I think that if you do provide for at least one rental (like an ADU) and you are a historic structure you should be given some 'extra credit' with regard to lot coverage. BUT stay true to only 60%. When I look at the double houses on Candler it looks to me like those are 80%-90% lot coverage. I guess I need to understand all the tricks of calculating lot coverage and put something in place so it does not get abused.
Would be nice to limit ADUs and multiple units on a lot to long term tenants and not AirBnB

I would be okay with high-rises if they incorporated greenery. Also if there was little to no parking, to discourage residents from having cars and contributing to traffic.
current (50-55%)
Being forced to use historically-accurate materials for renovations during a time where asbestos was popular and sustainability was not a construction concern seems ill-advised. However, protecting the beautiful houses of Candler park from being torn down in place of cheap, ugly and ecologically disastrous complexes is important for the preservation of the health and well-being of this neighborhood. This action should set a standard for other neighborhoods to protect themselves from harmful development in the future.

My house was built in 1910 and is an excellent example of the American Foursquare typology with Late Victorian styling. It retains almost a its original features and details, including original cylinder glass windows (which my wife and I restored), interior plaster walls, and heart pine trim.

It depends on context. I general support increasing density across the board because of our urban location, but I also strongly support preservation and sustainably adapting historic buildings for new uses. As long as there are historic protections for contributing homes, I would support more density. Some larger lots could even hold up to five units as long as the main structure is preserved (if it is contributing).
a lot more (65% or more)
I checked 65% or more, but that response is conditioned on preservation of historic structures as well as maintaining enough land area for effective stormwater infiltration and tree preservation (if applicable). I think we need to use our residential lots more intensively, but not at the expense of losing the historic and natural assets we have. The exact percentage of lot coverage would need to be determined by running through various scenarios of site redevelopment with preservation in mind.
This is a pivotal time for Candler Park, and preservation is a critical tool for the neighborhood's sustainable future. I do not want to leave the neighborhood and want to be able to age in place, but I also want Candler Park to evolve (slowly) and meet the needs of new residents and families. I don't think radical change is in the best interest of the city as it relates to this very special place.

Our house was the oldest one on the street and burned down in 1985. So we re-built in 1990, but we built in the same footprint and same style as the old house.

Our 100 year Old house burned in 1985 and we rebuilt. It is on the old footprint and in keeping with the neighborhood but was built in 1989/90 so, not from a historic time.

We owned 2 apt buildings in L5P and had a 4 unit building on each lot but it was in a commercial setting... not a neighborhood of single family houses. I'm against putting more than 2 dwellings on a 50' lot and think that the 2 should conform to the setbacks.

I do not feel like the cruise ships that are currently allowed to be built on our lots are in keeping with the neighborhood.

While I am not for historic designation at this time, I do appreciate the hard work the committee has done fleshing this out.

Regulating one classification of homes far more strictly than another set of homes is incredibly unfair.

I would be open to the idea of the entire neighborhood being districted like R5-C. For me, that would improve density options without requiring more structures. Adding more structures to increase density encroaches on Candler Parks greatest assets: trees.
