Dyess Park Master Plan
Department:Tom F. Beck, Director, Recreation and Parks Department
Caption:Presentation of the Dyess Park Master Plan.
Background:Dyess Park has been identified as a strong anchor facilitity in the overall re-
development of the Laney Walker area of our community. With all the
improvements and proposed future development, the Augusta Housing and
Community Development Department retained 2KM Architects to develop a
master plan for Dyess Park that would enhance this park property and most
important link in the overall look of this area.
Analysis:In the Spring of 2008, 2KM Architects began meeting with the stakeholders
in this area to initiate discussions as to where they would like to see Dyees
Park in the future. A plan was developed, adopted by the stakeholders and
presented to the community at large for comments. From comments
generated and ideas incorporated, the plan was approved in full by the
stakeholders and by the Laney Walker Neighborhood Association at a
meeting held on January 27, 2009.
Financial Impact:N/A

Parking automobiles in the front yard
Department:License & Inspection
Caption:For Discussion: How other neighborhoods/cities handle the issue of
automobiles parked on the front lawns of homes.
Background:At the February 3, 2009 Commission meeting, Mr. Roderick Pearson
presented his concerns regarding residents in his neighborhood parking their
cars in their front yards. The License and Inspection Director was asked to
check to see how other neighborhoods / cities handle the issue.
Analysis:At this time Augusta does not have an ordinance that addresses the parking
of licensed, operable automobiles in the front yard of residentially zoned or
residentially used properties. However, there are cities that have adopted
ordinances for regulating such activity. The similarity of the various
ordinances is that the area for parking cars in the front yard has to be an
improved surface.
