At-a-glance: Chamblee council votes — roundabout easements, variances and opioid settlement
Summary
At the March 17 meeting the Chamblee City Council unanimously: authorized easements for the Chamblee–Dunwoody roundabout, approved several development variances (with conditions), and agreed to participate in the six-defendant national opioid settlements.
The Chamblee City Council recorded unanimous votes on several separate actions during its March 17 meeting.
Roundabout easements: Council authorized the city manager to sign easements with Georgia Power to relocate power poles for the Chamblee–Dunwoody Road roundabout project. A motion was made, seconded and approved by unanimous voice vote.
Variances and waivers: Council approved one variance for a development at 2800 Northeast Expressway with conditions (site plan conformity, brick/masonry enclosure, limit of two dumpsters). For a multi-parcel Hardy/4th Street project, the council partially approved and partially denied a suite of variances and waivers, including reducing a balcony coverage requirement from 60% to 30% and lowering exterior brick/stone requirements from 60% to 45% in some instances, while denying other variances and waivers; approvals were conditional on site plan and elevation conformity, retaining-wall definitions, and an easement connecting to an adjacent property.
Opioid settlement participation: Council added and approved an agenda item authorizing the city’s participation in the national prescription-opioid settlements with six defendants, releasing claims as defined in the settlement agreements and authorizing the mayor to sign documents necessary to implement the city’s participation.
All three items were moved, seconded and adopted by unanimous vote. The transcript records voice votes and unanimous consent but does not list individual roll-call votes or specific dollar amounts tied to the opioid settlements or easement compensation.
