Op Ed: We should draw the line on dense housing in Dunwoody

On August a developer will ask Dunwoody City Council s permission to cram apartments onto the small lot on Ashford Dunwoody Road north of Ashford Center Parkway This is the property where the Life South building sits currently This seven-story building will be the first apartments built north of Ashford Center Parkway but if approved it certainly won t be the last These apartments will tower over everything else around them and be much denser than the transitional usage described in our long-term Comprehensive Plan One of the main reasons we became a city was to slow the conversion of Office-Industrial rezonings into dense multi-family apartments For years apartments have been creeping up Ashford Dunwoody Road toward single-family homes and Mt Vernon At the Planning Commission meeting over a dozen residents spoke in opposition to this ill-conceived plan We should draw the line and insist that the City Council deny this rezoning petition I urge the city council to deny this rezoning request Robert Wittenstein is a former Dunwoody City Council Member and a long-time resident of the city The post Op Ed We should draw the line on dense housing in Dunwoody appeared first on Rough Draft Atlanta
