ReplyHas the civic association considered buying these lots from the owner? It would seem to me that creating a LLC with investment capital from the neighborhood would be easy enough to do. Then, the association can decide what to do with them.
I cannot imagine that the economics of this development are that great. The property has been held for some time with all of the associated costs (taxes, insurance, etc). As soon as the owner has to start dealing with the permitting office, he's going to wish he hadn't started the project anyway. Getting anything done in Dekalb is a pain, I cannot imagine the paperwork, fees, frustration and delays associated with building 6 homes on 3 lots. Cannot be economically worthwhile.
The owner is a business person. He wants a return. Get the money together and make him an offer.

ReplyThis is unreal. We live in DR and have had multiple requests to put up a simple, retaining wall denied that's not even visible to neighbors or from the street. This guy gets to subdivide residential lots and throw up high density housing.

Time to start packing Decatur. These guys need deterrence and its not coming from the police. They'll get a real treat if they run into someone that is carrying. The longer this goes on the more emboldened they'll get and the news will get around that Decatur is easy pickings.
