cil, said he told Galambos that his choice
not to run for a second term on the
council was an “irrevocable decision.”
“I learned a long time ago that you
can argue with Eva for an hour and say
‘yes’ or simply save us both the aggrava
tion and say ‘yes’ at the beginning,” Paul
said.

and said the city’s success has more to do
with them than her.
“I think the reason that it’s been such
a pleasure to be the mayor of Sandy
Springs is because the people are so spe
cial,” Galambos said. “This is a special
community. There’s a maturity. There’s
a willingness to listen to each other and
to get along, and it is a shining light that
other communities can aspire to.”
Friends and well wishers gathered in
Sandy Springs on Nov. 24 to say farewell
to McEnerny.
McEnerny’s friend Chris Cramer
talked about his friend’s service on the
council.
“She represented all of us in a way I
think is unique,” Cramer said. “If she had
wanted to stand again (for reelection), she
would’ve won, and she would’ve won by a
landslide. She’s always understood the is
sues that affect us.”
There are two things people want more
than sex and money - recognition and praise.

City gives Spalding Woods
developer one more shot
BY DAN WHISENHONT

City Council has delayed action on a
controversial development at Glenridge
Drive and Mabry Road.
Many residents of the Spalding
Woods neighborhood asked whether
the city was delaying the inevitable. City
Council voted on Nov. 19 to revisit the
zoning application at its Dec. 17 meet
ing.
City Council voted 4-1 in favor of
the deferral. City Councilman Gabri
el Sterling voted “no” and City Coun-
cilwoman Karen Meinzen McEnerny re
cused herself.
Developer Traton Homes is seeking
to have 6.6 acres at the corner of Glen
ridge Drive and Mabry Road rezoned to
allow for a higher-density development.
The zoning application was request
ing a development of 18 units, but that
had been whittled down to 14. The city
Planning Commission recommended
denying the zoning application and city
staff recommended approval with con
ditions.
Pete Hendricks, an attorney for the
developer, told City Council his client
wanted the deferral so there would be
more time to develop a plan that will
satisfy neighbors. He said there had
been negotiations, but nothing had been
finalized.
Residents in Spalding Woods and
other neighborhood representatives
sounded doubtful that the two sides
could agree on replacing the three sin
gle family homes on the site with a high
er-density development. They urged the
council to deny the application on Nov.
19.
Trisha Thompson-Fox, a member of
the Sandy Springs Council of Neighbor
hoods, said the property is in the cen
ter of a protected neighborhood, and the
development doesn’t adhere to the city’s
comprehensive plan.
“Please deny this application for an
intrusive subdivision as stated and up
hold the comp plan,” she said.
Sterling voted against the deferral
and made a motion to deny the zon
ing application, but the council did not
vote on his motion. Sterling said the nu
merous deferrals on the case are need
lessly stressing out residents in Spalding
Woods.
City Councilman Chip Collins dis
agreed, saying if this developer isn’t suc
cessful there will be another developer
interested in the property.
“It sounds like we all agree this is go
ing to get redeveloped at some point,”
Collins said. “So the pain of the neigh
bors is not over.”
