Crews are again taking down trees and preparing to level land at a controversial development off Clifton Road.
The decade-long battle over the Clifton Ridge project, which would turn three vacant lots into a seven-lot subdivision, has played out in several court cases. It now is at the center of some Druid Hills residents’ effort to explore cityhood, in a bid to have tighter control over zoning and land-use decisions.
As various challenges and debates play out, DeKalb County has lifted a stop-work order at the site after a Superior Court judge dismissed part of the lawsuit to keep attorney Robert Buckler creating the subdivision near Emory University.
Work is likely to continue even as the Druid Hills Civic Association works to appeal the ruling that it does not have the right to sue against the project.
“These people, without having the right to challenge this, have held me up for two years,” Buckler said. “We are going to keep putting in our subdivision.”
