Judge Will Hear Developer's Case for Tritt Property

It appears as though the battle between a development company looking to build on a 54-acre plot in East Cobb and the Cobb County Board of Commissioners will be going before a judge.

After August, Isakson Living entered into mediation with Cobb County for Isakson’s lawsuit claiming the county’s denial of the developer’s proposed senior living community in March was violation of the property owner’s constitutional rights.

Isakson Living’s lawsuit alleges that the 20-year-old R-20 zoning on the 54-acre property owned by Wylene Tritt and her family for over 100 years is “unconscionable” in light of the rapid pace of development in Cobb County, and will claim that Tritt’s constitutional rights to make the most of her property were violated when the board of commissioners refused to re-zone the property to accommodate Tritt Walk, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) planned by Isakson.

Mediation failed to produce an amicable solution, so the two parties will have their day in court in front of a judge within the next six months, according to Concerned Citizens over Isakson Living East Cobb. The judge will rule whether the county was acting constitutionally when it denied the Tritt Walk proposal.
