A contractor hoping to dump dirt from a construction project onto a Glaze Drive property in Dunwoody has agreed to surrender his city permit following outcry from area residents.
The land disturbance permit became a heated topic after residents learned that it would allow the contractor to dump 5,700 cubic yards of dirt onto a property in a residential neighborhood.
In an email to Dunwoody Homeowners Association president Bill Grossman March 27, City Engineer Rich Edinger said that the city worked with the contractor to find two alternative sites where the dirt can be unloaded: Brook Run Park and a cemetery off Winters Chapel Road.
“Because the city owns Brook Run Park, we requested, as a condition of issuing that land disturbance permit, that he surrender the land disturbance permit that the city issued for the Glaze Drive site,” Edinger wrote in the email.
Community Development Director Steve Dush said city officials are still trying to determine where in Brook Run Park the dirt can be deposted.
