New off-campus office building causes
traffic problems for old neighborhood
Davis OKaafto/The Red and Black
By STEVEN M. SEARS
Staff Writer
In an effort to increase effi
ciency, the University has central
ized two of its departments off
campus.
The Institute for Community
and Area Development has moved
from Old College to the Treanor
House at 1234 S. Lumpkin St.
Charles Clegg, associate director
of ICAD, said his office’s efficiency
will increase at the Treanor House.
‘This is the first time we’ve all
been together,” he said, “where
units of us can get together and
work on programs.”
The Office of Development and
University Relations, which works
with the University of Georgia
Foundation, has been moved from
Old College to 824 S. Milledge Ave.
Nik Edes, the vice president for
Development and University Rela
tions, said before the new office
was purchased, his staff was
spread out all over campus.
"We needed to try to get as many
of the Institutional Advancement
team together in the same place,”
he said.
But the gathering of Edes’ staff
at the new office building has
caused a parking problem on Clo-
verhurst Avenue, the avenue bor
dering the Milledge property.
Clovershurst Avenue property
owners are angry because workers
in the Milledge property are
parking their cars in the neighbor
hood and there’s nothing they can
do.
The office building is in violation
of current local parking ordi
nances, but because the use of the
building hasn’t changed since it’s
establishment in the 1960s, before
the current ordinances were in ef
fect, the building’s parking
problem doesn’t have to be rectified
Decause of a grandfather clause.
According to current Athens-
Clarke County parking regulations
there must be a parking Bpace for
every 300 square feet of building.
The Milledge property has 13,-
200 square feet and should have 44
parking spaces under the current
regulation.
Cloverhurst Avenue property
owner Sarah Lacher is angry that
the building has taken advantage
of the grandfather clause and
hasn't provided enough spaces for
its employees.
“We’re University people,” she
said, “but we don’t like to be run
over.”
Father Ralph Marsh of the Uni
versity Episcopal Center is also un
happy with the overflow parking
from the Foundation Building.
“We have never had a parking
f roblem,” he said, “in the 22 years
ve lived there until now.
Marsh said the parking prob
lems have caused traffic hazards.
“I’ve almost had three head-on
collisions with people coming in
(the neighborhood) the wrong
way,” he said.
Cloverhurst Avenue is a two-
way double-wide street with a
forked entrance that’s marked
with directional signs for traffic.
Cars parked on the yellow curbs
near the entrance force other cars
closer to the street’s middle, cre
ating a traffic hazard.
Several Cloverhurst Avenue
property owners have contacted
their City Council representatives
to complain.
Council Representative Nathan
Williams said he has contacted a
University official to see if the
parking problem can be worked
out. He said negotiations were still
on the drawing board.
Associate Vice President for De
velopment Larry Weatherford said
“it’s a change, we realize that and
we’re trying to manage that the
best we can.”
The Office of Development and
University Relations’ new office
building was bought June of 1989
by the foundation for $725,000,
from foundation trustee Robert E.
Argo Jr. and Athens attorney Gary
Pleger.
Alan Barber, the vice president
for business and finance, said Argo
wasn’t involved in the transaction.
Edes also said Argo didn't partici
pate.
“Mr. Argo did not in any way
participate in making the decision
on behalf of the foundation,” he
said.
The foundation will rent the
property to the University for
about $104,500 a year, Barber
said.
Barber said this is the first time
the University has rented property
from the foundation.
The 12-month lease will be paid
out of the University’s general
fund. It isn’t a lease-to-purchase
deal.
The University bought the
Treanor House for $850,000 from
Mary Treanor Wood and other
owners.
