January 2016 Update: The Isakson Living case is still in litigation and is assigned to Judge Robert D. Leonard. There have been a couple of attempts at mediation which to date have not been successful. Representing the county are District 2 Commissioner Bob Ott and Fred Bentley Jr. the county outside counsel. Kevin J. Moore of Marietta and Carl Westmoreland, Jr of Atlanta represent Isakson Living. Isakson Living can continue to try to mediate with the county at any time up until a final decision is made by Judge Leonard as to the validity of their lawsuit. If you want to keep current on any filings you can go to the County Clerk website and the case is 15102908-53
November 2015 Update: Mediation is now scheduled for Monday, November 16. We understand the mediation will take just 1 day. If nothing is worked out in mediation the case goes before the judge to decide the legality of the county decision. If the judge sees nothing wrong, then the Board of Commissioners' denial holds and Isakson Living may choose to either walk away or take it to the appeals court. If it went back to the Board of Commissioners, there would be the standard 30-day public period to voice our opinions to the Commissioners on any mediated proposal put forth.
