Thank you everyone that turned out to help clean Biffle Park!
Volunteers removed English ivy and privet, focusing on areas near the path and bridges. They also picked up litter. Sixteen people helped us root out invasive plants that are killing trees in Biffle Park and we are very appreciative of all your effort.
Thank you for joining us at Movie Night!!

A Special Thank You to the students of Redan High School ROTC: Torreance Dorsey, Jaden Jackson, and Josiah Burden. They walked to Biffle Park after school and carried five-gallon buckets of water to our eight newly planted trees there. They also went to Woodway and helped plant the last three trees on our list. Their fresh energy and muscles made short work of the planting at the end of our long day.
These young people live in and near our community. We are proud of your service, and we are so thankful for you!

**TAKE ACTION**
A Recycling company by the name of Metro Green has alledgedly unlawfully obtained permits from the Georgia's Environmental Protection Division(EPD) to build a facility on Miller Rd, within the city limits of The City of Stonecrest - less than 1 mile from Hidden Hills Subdivision - OUR SUBDIVISION! There are several concerns about the building of this facility being so close to our homes: harmful depris in the air, foul smells, decreased property values, and much much more.
Click the link below and let the City of Stonecrest and the Georgia EPD know how you feel!

The Golf Course Is Under Contract
Proposed Development for Closed Golf Course
There is a proposal to develop the center of the closed Hidden Hills golf course and keep all the links as passive recreation and greenspace. This is the vision the community described in the Hidden Hills Overlay Zoning Code passed in 2011. The course closed in 2006.
Here is a brief update on the proposed development of 480 apartments and townhomes on the center 50 acres where the old clubhouse, tennis courts, and driving range used to be. This area is known as Tier 5 in the Hidden Hills Overlay Code. The code allows higher density development as long as the greenspace is preserved. This proposal is a lower density than what is allowed.
The development plans are being reviewed by various county departments, and revisions have been and will continue to be made. This link is the most current rendering of the proposal. To comply with the zoning code, the development must include a mixed-use component, and to that end, it is offering a 3,000-square-foot community clubhouse and pool for use by civic association members and greenspace amenities for the public.
The rest of the acreage – about 130 acres of greenspace where the old golf links used to be – would be conserved for passive recreation or protected and undeveloped. The developers’ idea is to give that land to a non-profit corporation such as the Greater Hidden Hills Community Development Corporation (GHHCDC), and the non-profit would give it to DeKalb County Parks. The golf trails would be the foundation for 5-6-mile-long walking and biking trail that winds like a figure eight through the community. The Parks Department is enthusiastic about adding the greenbelt to the park system.
McKinley Homes enlisted a landscape engineering firm to show what that greenbelt could look like. You may see the document at this link. The company has committed to reclaiming the golf cart path from the development to Biffle Road on both sides.
The developers are:
Marty Orr, CEO of Prime Interest Development
Bill Schmidt, vice president, McKinley Homes https://www.mckinleyhomes.com/about-mckinley-homes/
We do not know how long the review and revision process will take. Of course, the developers want to move as quickly as possible. Rod Frierson, the president of the Hidden Hills Civic Association, Jan Costello, the president of GHHCDC, and the respective board of directors are keeping a close watch and will continue to keep the neighborhood informed. Already, both organizations have discussed and shown the plans at regularly scheduled public meetings.
Eventually, the plan will go before the Planning Commission for approval, and then to the Board of Commissioners.
