PURPOSE
To direct Legal to proceed in the Cobb County Superior Court with the litigation of Tritt and
Isakson Living Communities, LLC v. Cobb County, Georgia, et al.
BACKGROUND
Wylene S. Tritt and Isakson Living Communities, LLC (Plaintiffs) filed suit against Cobb
County, Georgia on April 16, 2015 to appeal the BOC decision to deny the rezoning of a 53 acre
tract from R-20 to CCRC. The property fronts Roswell Road in the vicinity of the new WellStar
facility, with a park on one side and residential subdivisions on the other side and to the rear.
The parties attended mediation on two separate occasions, November 16, 2015 and January 18,
2016. At the second mediation, the mediator ended the mediation because it appeared that the
parties would not reach a resolution. The parties had previously agreed to stay discovery
pending the outcome of mediation. However, in February, 2016, counsel for the Plaintiffs
notified Legal that a written plan of the final offer verbalized at mediation would be delivered
by March 11, 2016 so that the property could be posted, advertised and presented for a vote by
the full BOC. To date no plan has been received and the matter has been languishing.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Commissioners direct Legal to proceed in the Cobb County Superior Court with
the litigation of Tritt and Isakson Living Communities, LLC v. Cobb County, Georgia, et al.
