Preservation Georgia, Spring 1997

Georgia Department of Natural Resources
Our Mission
To promote the preservation and use of historic places for
a better Georgia.
Our Vis ion
Georgia will be a better place tomorrow than it is today, providing quality communities in which to live, work, learn and recreate. Historic places will be widely valued as irreplaceable resources that contribute to our heritage, our economy, our neighborhoods, and our sense of who we are as Georgians. Communities and the State will plan for growth and change that respect and include our historic places. Communities will possess the knowledge, the legal and financial tools, and the authority to decide !low preservation and new development will relate to one another. There will still be distinctions between city and suburbs, developing areas and countryside. All Georgians will possess a greater understanding and appreriation of our shared heritage in all its variations. People and organizations throughout Georgia will work in partnership to preserve and use historic pla~es. Georgia's communities, economy, environment, and people will be beller because of the preservation of historic resources.

Spring 1997
HISTORIC PRESERVATION A MAJOR
PARTNER IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
C o,ncer~s about a .deteriOratlng enVlronment and exploding sprawl have sparked a new coalition of individuals and organizations seeking ways to lead our society toward a new, more humane, environmentally sensitive way for our communities to grow and develop.
This new way of looking Because ofAmericans' love affair with the at urban growth has been de- automobile and in respollse to rapid growth scribed as sustainable develop- and development ill American cities, ment. Sustainable development freeway systems such as this one in Atlanta is development that meets the proliferate across the coulltry. needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It consists of a complex set of principles formulated in the belief that public and private policies should be directed toward making life better, not just bigger. These principles proclaim a major public interest in activities and development which protect natural and human resources and are as concerned with the quality of life as with "the bottom line." They promote resource conservation, recycling and alternate forms of transportation to the automobile.
In the foreward to Georgians on Sustainability, published in 1995 by the Institute of Ecology at the University of Georgia and the Georgia Environmental Organization, Lt. Governor Pierre Howard wrote:
What we must strive for is quality not quantity; a quality of life which honors education and reason, cherishes our wildlife and our open spaces, understands the necessity of biodiversity, seeks a fair and just society which offers equal opportunity, maintains our natural settings in the midst of housing and commercial development, and encourages our industry to protect and enhance our environment while becoming more profitable. The vital balance between protecting our precious natural resources while continuing to promote growth in our state must be fostered.

Why Should Geor~a's Preservationists Be
Concerned About "Sprawl?
Particularly within the expanding Atlanta metropolitan region, and to a lesser extent throughout other growing regions of the state, impacts from sprawl have begun to be debated by preservationists living in cities, surburbs, and rural areas. The negative effects of sprawl-the low-density, land-consumptive, automobile-dominated development seen at the outer edges of older cities-have now been identified as factors in the state's continued inability to grow economi- Mark R. Edwards cally. Sprawl has resulted in the state's existing transportation system being severely taxed, with soaring traffic volumes, degraded air quality, and unregulated growth the result. All of these effects translate into a significant loss of quality of life and sense of place, especially in our historic COmmullltles.
How does sprawl affect our ability to protect and preserve historic places and resources? First and foremost, sprawl erases the distinctive character of individual communities and paves over the countryside. What results is the homogenization of our past, a blurring of what makes our communities special. In this process, farmland and agricultural communities are lost. With this explosion of changing land use, many important historic and prehistoric archaeological sites and rural landscapes throughout our state are gone forever.
Sprawl also makes continued retention and use of historic buildings difficult. Because most historic buildings are located within our cities and towns, their preservation depends upon owners being able to find and continue viable economic uses. If changing land use favors private investment through new construction in suburbs or rural areas, owners of historic buildings will not have the funds needed to maintain these structures for the future. The result will be disinvestment in these buildings, with slow degradation and ultimately, demolition. On a regional scale, this disinvestment has shifted the economic center of many of our communities to their edges, thus weakening our historic downtowns and neighborhoods, and leaving them less viable as places in which to live and work.
Because of the direct relationship of sprawl to transportation, sprawl also necessitates a neverending process of expansion of the state's primary transportation system-secondary roads and highways. Because of our excessive reliance on the automobile, development of a true multimodal transportation system has been made more difficult, with more and larger roads the result. These roads often spell disaster for historic and archaeological resources in their path. And even when these resources are not demolished outright, their settings are often degraded or changed significantly.
Part of the answer to this problem has come with recent efforts to educate our decision-makers about alternative land use and transportation options for change. In the Atlanta metro region, the "Blueprints" series, sponsored by the Georgia Conservancy, showed the advantages of "neo-traditional developments" with their exciting visions for self-contained transportation, housing, and commercial centers when designing new developments. Real-world examples such as Seaside in Florida and Kentlands outside of Washington D.C. have shown that higher densities, mixed-use development, and efficient multi modal transportation systems can be built, with preservation of natural areas often one important result.
However, the challenge before us in Georgia is to learn from other states about broader regional and statewide growth management strategies, and especially those that have specifically dealt with impacts to our historic and archaeological resources. Good alternative regional development models do exist, such as Oregon's 1973 Land Use Planning Act and revolutionary urban growth boundary system, Vermont's 1970 Act 250, or Washington's 1990 Growth Management Act where preservation is a visible component of managing growth. We need to study these models in detail, learn from them, and work with others to implement what makes them effective.
HPD has begun a process of doing just that, and will be working with the Georgia Trust and the University of Georgia's School of Environmental Design over the next year or two to develop a wide array of information and tools to help you deal with change in your communities. We envision developing a series of workshops and "tool kits" to help local decisionmakers with their "visioning" process and action plans for the future. If we truly value our heritage, we owe it to that heritage to work to ensure that it is preserved within the context of the change which will come-ready or not-to Georgia. Won't you join with us in this important endeavor?

NATIONAL REGISTER NEWS

Properties recently added to the National Register of Historic Places include the following:
Coweta/Fulton County
The Roscoe-Dunaway Gardens Historic District, located in north Coweta County and southwest Fulton County, was listed December 6, 1996. The rural district includes the small crossroads community of Roscoe and its surrounding farmsteads, as well as the 64-acre Dunaway Gardens. Roscoe was established in 1882 and contains several late 19thand early 20th-century woodframed houses and outbuildings and a number of family cemeteries. The terraced Dunaway Gardens were designed and laid out in the 1920s and 1930s and include pools and an amphitheater. The nomination was sponsored by the Chattahoochee-Flint Regional Development Center and the community of Roscoe.
This historic house, located at 1703 E. Rugby A ve. in the College Park Historic District, is now owned by Woodward Academy.
Fulton County

What is Sustainable Development?
While consensus has not yet been fully reached on the principles of sustainability, most involved would agree that the following concepts are basic to the movement:
Use basic materials that need little processing and are easy to reuse or recycle.
Use existing resources fully before creating, manufacturing, or building new ones.
Design for energy conservation.

M ost discussions on sustainable development have focused on natural resources, alternative methods of transportation, and designing new sustainable communities. But these discussions also need to include historic preservation and ways to use the existing building stock if they are to impact the lives of the vast majority of Americans. Historic preservation is a leader and can be a catalyst in sustainable development.
Indeed, historic communities have inspired new models for community planning, often called "neo-traditional" or "new urban" planning. These new developments are patterned after historic building precedents and promise better land utilization and quality of life. Examples include Seaside in Florida, Kentlands in Maryland, and Newpoint in South Carolina.
But urban planners must also focus on existing communities to ensure that additional development to them respects original design elements and provides sustainable growth. This will involve additional studies of community attributes and how cities and towns can be developed in harmony with community character.

Design to encourage transportation methods other than the automobile.

How does historic preservation promote sustainable development?
1. Most historic structures are built of basic materials that need limited processing. Preservation of existing buildings and structures is indeed the ultimate in recycling-recycling on a massive scale that saves and reuses the materials and the energy embodied in their production. Besides facilitating the continued use of millions of pounds of building materials, historic preservation helps prevent those materials from overwhelming increasingly limited land fills.

2. Historic preservation and the revitalization of main

streets and historic neighborhoods seeks to fully utilize

existing buildings and infrastructure. Healthy central

cities and main streets lessen the need for new outlying

developments. Preserving historic and architecturally

significant structures improves the quality of life while

providing a bond between citizens and their commu-

nity and its heritage and traditions. Many historic

districts have under-utilized spaces which are now

being reused. Second and third stories in central cities

and main streets are now being rehabilitated as loft and

studio apartments. Downtown Atlanta has seen a

resurgence of downtown living using these previously

nity to provide additional housing, offices and manufacturing facilities in existing structures. Additionally,

vacant lots in many residential historic districts are being filled with

new compatible structures. Using such areas strengthens neighbor-

hoods and historic districts, without taking more land for suburbs and

usually without the need for additional roads, sewers, utility distribu-

tion, schools or transportation facilities.

3. Most historic buildings were designed with energy conservation in mind. Sustainability is enhanced by understanding and using the original systems. Almost all historic buildings have working windows for natural ventilation, often with planned cross ventilation. Historic buildings also may have other energy conservation elements such as front porches and awnings. In addition, the setting and plantings surrounding the structure can provide comfort without using additional energy. Large deciduous trees on the south and west sides of a house, for example, provide shade in the summer while allowing the sun to warm the building in the winter. Evergreens on a building's north side provide protection all year round and can be used as windbreaks for harsh prevailing winds. Utilizing such existing features can produce major reductions in energy consumption.

H istoric preservation has inspired the reuse and revitalization of historic buildings. Over the past decade it has been in the forefront in promoting sustainable development. We must now enter into new partnerships to ensure that historic resources continue to provide meaning, inspiration, and an enhanced quality of life to all Americans. Perhaps James Howard Kunstler, author of Home From Nowhere and foremost promoter of the new urban planning, sums it up best in his article" Appalled at the Sprawl," which ran in the February 23, 1997, edition of the AtlantaJournal-Constitution:
... authentic towns and cities are the dwelling places of civilization. I doubt that we can remain an advanced civilization without them. Suburban sprawl is not an adequate substitute. Most people actually like other people and seek to be with them, and need to be with them in places worth being in-places of memorable quality and character. The new urbanism recognizes that we have been living through an extraordinarilty abnormal period of cultural amnesia that is now coming to an end. We are ready to reconnect the past and the future in order to live in a hopeful present.
