BY JOE EARLE

It required a mid-meeting break to rewrite one section on
the fly, and an extensive last-minute discussion of how many
pets would be too many. Still, members of Dunwoody City
Council on Oct. 14 formally adopted the city’s new zoning
and land development codes.
Ending a process that began about 22 months ago and in

the council voted 6-1 on Oct. 14 to approve the new codes,

The campaign for a separate Dunwoody school system
got a boost when State. Rep. Tom Taylor told members of
the Dunwoody Homeowners Association that the study
found local tax dollars could easily fund the enterprise.
Taylor, R-Dunwoody, told a crowd of about 40 members
of the DHA during its Oct. 6 meeting that, if taxes were left
