Councilman Heneghan raises questions on the process of selling the Shallowford property in Dunwoody

Document Link and bid package is here

As I said last week when this item was added to the City Council agenda, this new back 3-acre piece is being added into the sale of the front piece (2 acres and the Emory building) and I just don't like the manner in which it is being done.

• I voted against putting this piece of property up for sale on Monday and not on the merit of it being excess property that the proceeds could go towards green space or redevelopment funds for another corner of the city but on the principal of the details of the sale.  The Emory medical building at 4555 N. Shallowford property has been on the market since July and the bid opening date was just pushed back, it appears to join another piece up for sale.  City Council announces on Monday that 4553 Shallowford buildings sitting on the three acres behind the 4555 building is now for sale and the city tacks the sale into the sale of the 4555 building bid whereby the combined bids will be opened on the 4th of December.  
• Having the back parcel advertised for just two weeks, compared to the other parcel for many months seems wrong.  I am able to see that not one additional person or company had downloaded the sale packet for the new property since we approved the additional land sale, therefore, I question if this larger parcel which is prime for redevelopment is getting the visibility that it should?
• The back parcel is larger than the front, yet it is a tack on the smaller property offering with no advertising together that this is a large 5-acre piece of land.  
• The formal zoning for both pieces is Planned Development whereby the city intended to put civic spaces there (if we didn't find a good city hall somewhere else) therefore the land has little or no zoning allowances without coming back to the city to rezone. 
• The City had no price on the front piece and stated an asking price of $2.268 Million for the back.   Why?
• Without zoning being in place someone might buy it for future townhomes when maybe the desires of the community and council prefer a 5-story medical or office complex?  Council hasn't discussed this matter, therefore, buyer beware.
• This real estate transaction may be fully legal as it is being advertised but I believe it has the appearance of not being completely above board, not transparent enough for me; therefore, I raised many of these questions on Monday and voted against it as did Mayor-elect Deutsch. 
• It will be interesting to see the bids, who knows maybe the DeKalb County School System would want to buy this property for a new school?

City of Dunwoody proposes sale of 5 acres of medical office buildings close to 285.

On July 8, 2019 the Dunwoody City Council declared the front 2 acres containing the updated Emory building as surplus and therefore up for sale and on the November 18th agenda there is an item to declare the back 3 acres of the property, containing older one-story medical buildings as surplus; therefore putting the entire 5 acre block on the market.

With the Emory surgical center being completely updated a few years back and having a lease that expires in 2024, I am guessing they would be interested in obtaining control of the property.  The back 3 acres are prime for redevelopment.

The land was purchased for park and civic uses, therefore, I will be pushing that any proceeds from the sale, if it moves in that direction, would be reinvested into some other civic use to be used by the citizens.
