Dunwoody Zoning Board of Appeals meeting for Oct. 1, 2026

The City of Dunwoody Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, titled Oct. 1, 2026 (metadata timestamp Oct. 2), approved the September 3 minutes. The board unanimously approved variance ZBA 26-17 for the Ashton Woods townhome redevelopment at 1200 and 1240 Ashwood Parkway and 474 Ashford Dunwoody Road. The variance allows construction and disturbance within a 75-foot stream buffer. The 11.6-acre project would redevelop a largely vacant office site with townhomes, restore and improve an existing silted detention pond, and add a publicly accessible trail that can also serve as emergency-vehicle access. Approval was subject to conditions including a buffer mitigation plan, erosion-control and revegetation measures, and compliance with applicable Georgia Environmental Protection Division requirements. A resident expressed support for the project and asked that maintenance concerns, including fallen branches and overgrown grass, be addressed.

For a second case at 4782 Old Village Cove, staff presented a request to replace and expand an existing deck with a covered porch that would encroach up to 8 feet into the rear setback; staff recommended approval. The transcript ends before the board’s discussion or decision on that request. No contracts, purchases, spending allocations, or other procurement activity were identified.
