South Fulton residents could get a vote on incorporation (Atlanta: attorney, law school)

[Saintmarks]

And what is the latest with the big annexation proposals in Druid Hills? Is it on hold indefinitely? DOA? Any future possibility?

Really?? What were they? I know about Edmund Park but that's the only one.

I'm not sure if this is accurate. If you take a look at Loch Lomond delivery service plan. They estimated the population to be 680 residents, and that's based on 2010 census. So I'm sure it's a little more than that now. My guess by looking thru all the newly annexed neighborhood's delivery plan, Atlanta probably added 1200-1300 residents.

I'm only aware of Edmund Park and Olmstead at East Lakes being annex out of Dekalb County last year....

See CoA zoning webmap that shows the newest city boundaries.

Atlanta cannot keep five areas it annexed from Fulton, judge says | www.myajc.com

A Fulton County judge has overturned the recent annexations of five South Fulton neighborhoods into the city of Atlanta, saying the city’s process was flawed.


Atlanta had rushed the annexations in an attempt to expand its borders before residents in unincorporated Fulton County vote this fall on whether to form the City of South Fulton. But Fulton County Superior Court Judge Alford Dempsey said in a Thursday order that Atlanta failed to complete the annexations in time.


State law says annexations become effective on the first day of the month following the month they are approved. The Atlanta annexations were all approved in June. But by legislation, the boundaries for the City of South Fulton were set July 1.


Because the June annexations would have gone into effect July 1 — and state law says they needed to be done before the boundaries of proposed city were set — they do not count, the order said.


Additionally, the order said, city did not leave enough time for required hearings and did not properly verify all of the signatures of residents petitioning for annexation. Some people who signed the petitions were registered Fulton County voters, but did not live in the areas to be annexed.
