Requested by the Athens-Clarke County Mayor & Commission, the Infill Housing Study examines trends related to the design and construction of new single-family homes within Athens' traditional neigborhoods. Strategies and local recommendations to achieve compatible infill are included. The link above is for the entire document in a low resolution. The study is also broken into 3 downloadable parts at a higher resolution. Go to the Applications & Resources tab >>> Manuals and Reference Materials to find these pdfs.
Architectural drawings for one bedroom, two bedroom, three bedroom and four bedroom/duplex in-fill houses are available at the Athens-Clarke County Planning Department and here on-line. These drawings were completed as part of a CLG (Certified Local Government) grant received from the Historic Preservation Division of the Department of Natural Resources by the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County.
The designs were prepared by local designer/builders: Van Strickland Residential Design Services and D.O.C. Unlimited (Carl Martin and Dennis Harper) in conjunction with a committee composed of representatives of the Historic Preservation Commission, Human and Economic Development, Planning Department and the Athens Housing Authority. The premise of this project is that three goals (in-fill development, affordable housing and historic preservation) can be combined to the benefit of both individual neighborhoods and the community.
