Some new responses on zoning.

People are asking if the zoning commission pays any attention to impact on schools. As cochair of the Sagamore Hills zoning committee I have been to many commissioners meetings. Never once have I heard the schools mentioned when development is being proposed. These proposed increased density developments will have an impact on our schools. The Williamsburg area and the Toco Hills Town center along with the Ashkouti development on N. Druid Hills Rd. are potential dangers to our schools. When the economic climate improves you can rest assured that many of these developers will be back pressuring these communities again. Don't forget Sembler they still present a danger in the future. One of my opponents said at our Fernbank forum that the school board members were not really involved in zoning issues. It is obvious that some  know little about the zoning issues that have impact on central DeKalb and the possible effects on students and school population.
