The development may have an impact on existing streets, transportation facilities and utilities, according to the staff memo. Traffic improvements and street enhancements would be necessary to reduce impacts on transportation facilities, the memo adds.

Minerva Homes is asking the city of Brookhaven to rezone 1.17 acres at 1296, 1302 and 1304 Kendrick Road to make way for a nine-townhome development.

Public hearings on the city’s 2018 millage rate will be held during three meetings in June. The first will be at the City Council’s June 12 meeting at 7 p.m. and the two others will be on Thursday, June 28, at 10:30 a.m. and at 6:30 p.m. After the final public hearing, the millage rate will be formally adopted at the June 28 meeting at 7 p.m. All hearings will be at City Hall, 4362 Peachtree Road. The City Council adopted in November 2017 an approximate $40.7 million budget. The general fund budget totals $26 million. The anticipated millage rate in 2018 is 2.74 mills, the same rate as in 2016 and 2017. Due to an increase in DeKalb County’s revaluation of real property tax assessments, the proposed 2.74 millage rate would result in an increase in property taxes by 8.15 percent over the rollback millage rate. Brookhaven’s millage rate is capped at 3.35 in the city charter.
