Two new homes will be built on the corner of Woodland Hills Drive and LaVista at 1473 LaVista Road. The new homes will be facing Woodland Hills Drive and have Woodland Hills Drive addresses of 1453 & 1449 Woodland Hills Drive.

WHNA has a new official mailing address

PO Box 13124, Atlanta, GA 30324-9998. We took out a 24 hour 7 day a week PO Box at the Morosgo Drive behind Home Depot.

PayPal coming soon to our website

People will be able to join our association or renew their memberships online – I know it should be there by now but we wanted to wait for our new mailing address, now that we have it, it shouldn’t be too much longer.

Neighborhood Boundaries

It seems there needs to be some clarification on what the “true boundaries” are for Woodland Hills to the West. Our neighbors from the Lindridge Martin Manor neighborhood are asking us to clarify. It seems that some of our sign toppers run through streets and areas that are City of Atlanta/Fulton County and looking at the City of Atlanta NPU-F Map online
http://www.arch.gatech.edu/~dapa/reports/atlneighchg/page-Images/npuf-m.html
and then looking at the City of Atlanta Zoning Map,
http://www.atlantaga.gov/government/planning/zoning.aspx
we need to partner with Lindridge Martin Manor and clarify what is Woodland Hills and what is Lindridge Martin Manor, replace street sign toppers with the proper neighborhood and move on. It does seem that the City of Atlanta does consider everything within Fulton County/City of Atlanta as part of Lindridge Martin Manor. Meaning Woodland Hills could be considered anything that is Dekalb County within those streets. The streets in question are Ogilvie, Argonne, Hampton Way, Arlington, Concord Drive. I will keep you posted on what the results are.

Welcome letter

Our Registrar is going to make a generic welcome letter that we will put on WHNA stationary and Section VP’s will deliver these letters to people that recently move(d) in to our neighborhood. This will let new members of our neighborhood know that WHNA exists.

Projects the Board agreed to pursue for our neighborhood

A 4-Way stop sign at the intersection of Vista Trail and Woodland Hills Drive to help slow drivers.
Sidewalks on at least on side of the road on Woodland Ave/Woodland Hills Drive from the Dekalb County Line to LaVista road. As well as a small strip of sidewalk in front of house on 1473 LaVista Road to get pedestrians safely to the cross-walk at Shepherds Lane.
Reasons: More pedestrian friendly access to Briar Vista Elementary as well as recent retail explosion on Cheshire Bridge/Piedmont/Sidney Marcus.

WHNA would also like to try and partner with LaVista Park to get sidewalks on the South Side of LaVista Road.

Neighborhood Flags to hang from the front of houses/porches. Much like the flags you see driving through Inman Park and Oakhurst neighborhoods, these flags could help raise money for the Association as well as create neighborhood pride within our community, as well as give off a sense of organization and communication among households.

Board also addressed updating the entrance sign on LaVista Road/Woodland Hills Drive and getting landscape services donated at that corner.

Board also discussed Woodland Hills businesses advertising on our website for small fee.
