This past October, Pine Lake resident Kate Reese helped organize a community pumpkin

carving party at the picnic tables near the lake. Residents showed up with carving tools,

buckets to compost pumpkins guts, and armloads and wagonloads of crea!vity. They

brought their pumpkins too.

Neighbors shared ideas as well as some tasty munchies. Start thinking about your

pumpkin designs for next year. The fun of this year’s party may prompt an annual event.

Holiday Safety GuidelinesHoliday Safety GuidelinesHoliday Safety GuidelinesHoliday Safety Guidelines

The winter holidays are a !me for celebra!on, and that means more cooking, home

decora!ng, entertaining, and an increased risk of fire and accidents. Pine Lake CERT and

Neighborhood Watch recommend that you follow these guidelines to help make your

holiday season safer and more enjoyable.

Holiday Ligh�ng

• Whenever possible, choose holiday decora!ons made with flame-resistant, flame-

retardant, and non-combus!ble materials.

• Do not overload extension cords.

• Don't mount lights in any way that can damage the cord's wire insula!on. To hold

lights in place, string them through hooks or insulated staples. Don't use nails or

tacks. Never pull or tug lights to remove them.

• Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. The tree can become charged with

electricity from faulty lights, and a person touching a branch could be electrocuted.

• Before using lights outdoors, check labels to be sure they have been cer!fied for outdoor use. Make sure all the

bulbs work and that there are no frayed wires, broken sockets, or loose connec!ons.

• Plug all outdoor electric decora!ons into circuits with ground-fault circuit interrupters to avoid poten!al shocks.

• Turn off all lights when you go to bed or leave the house. The lights could short out and start a fire.

Decora�ons

• Use only non-combus!ble and flame-resistant materials to trim a tree. Choose !nsel and ar!ficial icicles of

plas!c and non-leaded metals.

• Never use lighted candles on a tree or near other evergreens. Always use non-flammable holders, and place

candles where they will not be knocked down.

Holiday Entertaining

• UnaDended cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the United States. When cooking for holiday visitors,

remember to keep an eye on the range.

Trees

• When purchasing an ar!ficial tree, look for the label "fire-resistant."

• When purchasing a live tree, check for freshness. A fresh tree is green, needles are hard to pull from branches,

and when bent between your fingers, needles do not break.

• Cut a few inches off the trunk of your tree to expose the fresh wood. This allows for beDer water absorp!on and

will help to keep your tree from drying out and becoming a fire hazard.

• Be sure to keep the stand filled with water because heated rooms can dry live trees out rapidly.

Toys

• Electric toys should be UL/FM approved.

Children and Pets

• PoinseFas are known to be poisonous to humans and animals, so keep them well out of reach, or avoid having

them.

• Avoid using !nsel. It can fall on the floor and a curious child or pet may eat it. This can cause anything from mild

distress to death.

Recent Council ActionsRecent Council ActionsRecent Council ActionsRecent Council Actions

Highlights from Sept/Oct mee�ngs:

• Entered into an agreement with

SafeBuilt to provide permit review

and inspec!on services for the City

through the end of 2013, with an

op!on to renew. This ac!on liGs

the short-term moratorium, which

the Mayor ins!tuted this summer.

• Accepted a bid from United

Grading Company to demolish the

condemned property on Spruce

Drive.

• Approved a new alcohol ordinance.

• Approved a new schedule of

permit fees (available at City Hall).

• Approved an updated soil erosion

and sediment control ordinance, in

order to keep the city’s storm

water plan current and legal.

• Received a comprehensive report

from the Atlanta Regional

Commission, which looked at Pine

Lake’s Code for internal conflicts

and for provisions which might

hamper development ac!vi!es.

The ARC looked at land use,

transporta!on, historic

preserva!on, and redevelopment,

and suggested specific

amendments to align all policies

with the goals outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Council

is crea!ng a plan to implement

most of the suggested changes.

The in-depth report was a result of

a “Community Choices” award that

Pine Lake received this spring.

Use of Park Cards Suspended Use of Park Cards Suspended Use of Park Cards Suspended Use of Park Cards Suspended Mayor deNobriga, in an execu!ve

order this September, suspended the

use of Park Cards. “The park cards

are an out-moded method for

controlling access to areas which

righMully should be public land. By

elimina!ng the use of these cards, I

trust that Pine Lake will send a more

welcoming and inclusive invita!on to

our neighbors to enjoy our city and

all it has to offer. Park rules will s!ll

be in force, and anyone who violates

them will be asked to leave, as

usual.”

2013 Budget in Process2013 Budget in Process2013 Budget in Process2013 Budget in Process

Notes from City Hall Continued Notes from City Hall Continued Notes from City Hall Continued Notes from City Hall Continued (Kathie deNobriga)

McAllister ParkMcAllister ParkMcAllister ParkMcAllister Park Masters of the backhoe, employed by United Grading Company, spent three days in September taking down the two-

story residence on Spruce Drive which had been condemned aGer repeated flood damage. The mayor organized a

salvage opera!on, and took bids for nearly $800 in fixtures, paneling, molding, cabinets, etc. UGC took care of what

was leG, leaving a small concrete pad for future use and a short run of concrete driveway. GEMA has paid 85% of the

project costs; the 15% city share has been paid from the McAllister fund.

Now we start the design phase to be lead by Brent Walker, former city council member who works for the GwinneD

Parks and Recrea!on Department, under a contract with Lowe’s Consul!ng. The City of Pine Lake has entered into a

professional services agreement with Lowe’s for engineering, planning, and other municipal services. Their first task,

funded by a Community Development Block Grant through DeKalb County, is to lead a process for community input

(limited by the allowable uses of the flood-way property) and to develop a ‘concept site plan’. Brent began to gather

ideas during LakeFest and will con!nue his work during the November Town Hall. His findings and preliminary site

plan are on the agenda for the November Council mee!ng (Nov 12).

New Procedure for Permits and InspectionsNew Procedure for Permits and InspectionsNew Procedure for Permits and InspectionsNew Procedure for Permits and Inspections

If you are a homeowner, you may undertake your own renova!ons, but you DO need a permit (available from City

Hall). You do not have to be a contractor. HOWEVER, if you have anyone else work on the house, then they need to

be either a licensed contractor, or licensed in one of the trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc.). In other words, you

can work on your own primary residence, but as soon as you get someone else involved, workers must be licensed.

The state law that governs this (O.C.G.A. 43-41-17(h) was historically oGen disregarded in Pine Lake. With SafeBuilt

now conducing inspec!ons and a new process for obtaining permits in place, the law will be fairly and consistently

applied.

Welcome New StaffWelcome New StaffWelcome New StaffWelcome New Staff Allison Campbell will coordinate all rentals and use of the Club House (and eventually the Beach House); she is paid

with funds from rental income and will be charged with maximizing the City’s rentals over !me.

Raoul Mar!nez has been hired as Public Works assistant to work 20 hours a week; Raoul brings a broad background in

general maintenance and repair. Welcome aboard!

Pine Lake Phone Lines Knocked Out

A windstorm in late October caused a power surge at City Hall. Most of the city phone lines were knocked out, leaving

one single line for both City Hall and the police sta!on. The lines that got fried also included the City’s voicemail

system. The only way to get an answer is if someone is in the office, and selec!ng extensions won't work. The City is

working on a solu!on, but in the mean!me, we ask for your understanding.

As always, if you need police response, CALL 911. If you have a non-urgent maDer, email the Chief at

plchief@bellsouth.net, Valerie at valeriecaldwell@bellsouth.net, or the Mayor at kdenobriga@mindspring.com.

Retrospective: Pine LakeFest 2012Retrospective: Pine LakeFest 2012Retrospective: Pine LakeFest 2012Retrospective: Pine LakeFest 2012

The tradi!on con!nues: Pine LakeFest 2012 was a fun-packed, community

-backed weekend enjoyed by a growing number of delighted aDendees.

This year boasted more vendors, more aDendees, more sponsors, more

ac!vi!es, more volunteers, and more enjoyment all around.

In addi!on to geFng beDer, LakeFest got comfy too. This year the

planning commiDee added several “conversa!on coves”—comfortably

decorated spaces, intermixed with the vendor booths, where fes!val

aDendees could sit, relax, and chat about the wonders of LakeFest.

CONTESTS As in previous years, LakeFest 2012 hosted art-inspired contest: sand

sculpture, chalk art, and Floatzilla—LakeFest’s signature flo!lla of

decorated boats parading across the lake. (See page 9 for a list of

contest winners.)

EVENTS In case you missed any part of Pine LakeFest

2012, here’s a look at what transpired. Send

ideas for next year to the planning commiDee

(PineLakeFest@gmail.com), and remember that

there is always a place for more volunteers. The LakeFest planning commiDee claims that you’ll have more fun

volunteering with them than any other volunteer opportunity. Just look at what they got to plan this year…
