Zoning and Development

Variance request – Bill Amacher

Building on Nandina Lane—footprint will not change. One story will be added at north end of building. Exterior finish will remain the same and parking is adequate.

4250 Perim. Park Dr. (Julian LeCraw & Co) rezoning – Bill Grossman

Offices to Condos-- 17 acres in unincorporated DeKalb County. This will impact schools.

N. Shallowford SLUP – Bill Grossman/HCA/ Shallowford Hospital Area--Bob Lundsten

Five acres owned by the hospital got a 60-day deferral. DHA would like to see mixed use in this area. DHA feels that apartments tend to spiral down after a few years.

Tilly Mill Rd. Church – Gerri Penn

North DeKalb Christian Church is for sale (3.8 acres) and has a contract for an Assisted Living Facility. There are 2 backup contracts for churches. If they do apply for rezoning, DHA will ask them to present plans to DHA and dialog with neighborhood will take place. No one is taking care of the property at this time and this has been reported to Code Enforcement.

Glaze Drive Homeowners asked for support of DHA for a Glaze Drive Petition to DeKalb County for redress of grievances—Sidewalks, light poles, landscape plans, end units, side decks, brick monuments, and gates. They are requesting that DeKalb County and the Developer honor the negotiated agreed and approved rezoning conditions. They have legal binding documents. Situation is very bad.
