DHA Statement on Pending Lawsuits vs the City

On Sunday, July 12, the majority of a board quorum voted to issue the following statement on pending lawsuits and the alleged actions that inspired them:

With the current lawsuits filed and pending against the City of Dunwoody, the long-standing expectations of transparency and accountability are in question.

The DHA encourages the city to bring in a third-party specialist at the earliest possible opportunity to perform an independent investigation into issues identified within city government at all levels. This investigation should examine the handling of any complaints of inappropriate behavior by senior management, human resources, the legal department and our elected officials.

The goal is to improve the trust in our government, including the law enforcement team, through transparency and by implementing any recommendations that are incorporated into the independent investigation.

A Look Back at Dunwoody's Recovery from the 1998 Tornado

An Editorial by the late Dick Williams in the Atlanta Journal Constitution April 12, 1999 https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stories/1999/04/12/editorial4.html One doesn't have to listen to the Clark Howard program on WSB radio to hear that species of American known as The Whiners. It's enough just to follow the news or surf the cable box. (Click) In a nation of boundless hope, here's the Rev. Jesse Jackson urging us to keep hope alive. (Click) In a metro area that's projecting 1.8 million new jobs in 25 years, here's Mayor Bill Campbell of Atlanta proclaiming that every black person in town owes his or her living to affirmative discrimination. (Click) When disaster strikes, counselors are rushed to schools. (Click) "If you can't get help at ... seek help somewhere." The notions of individualism and of turning to family, church and school for support too often are obliterated by the culture of victimhood, or societal subgroups based on us a

Letter from DHA Board to Dunwoody City Council Regarding Code Compliance

October 2020 To: Dunwoody Mayor & City Council Re: Need for Improved Code Compliance At its March board meeting, the Dunwoody Homeowners Association held a discussion about opportunities for improved code enforcement. Several of our board members personally observed commercial areas with covered windows and gang tags. The former represents a serious safety lapse when police are called to a location; the latter is a blatant expression of organized crime. The board voted to compose a letter expressing these concerns to city council. Soon afterwards, the coronavirus pandemic hit and the proposal was tabled while our community faced a crisis that seemed more immediate. While the community waited for some return to normalcy, the issues that originally raised our concern have worsened. Gang tags that “mark territory” have advanced further from commercial areas into single family neighborhoods. Dunwoody incorporated to provide better services to the residents.

Updated Statement on the Proposed Rezoning of 5308, 5318, and 5328 Roberts Drive

To: Dunwoody City Council Zoning Board of Appeals Re: RZ 20-02 Rezoning of 5308, 5318, and 5328 Roberts Drive The Board of Directors met virtually on Thursday, October 22 to discuss our position on the proposed rezoning. A quorum of the board voted unanimously to oppose the rezoning of these properties from R-100 to R-50. The DHA has stayed in contact with adjacent homeowners since our original position statement was issued and we felt it necessary to update our position. A rezoning that close, to allow 15 homes to be built, requires several variances to be feasible. These variances will result in the development imposing on existing neighborhoods and diminishing the owners’ quality of life and risks damage to the current homes themselves. A variance is requested that will increase the total impervious surface of the properties from 40% to 85%. We believe this change, if enacted will cause environmental damage to nearby neighborh
