Portman won’t appeal, so what’s next step?

Architect John Portman is not taking Sandy Springs to court over the right to build a 27,000 square foot house with elements rising 80 feet into the air. The deadline for appealing the April decision by the Board of Zoning Appeals passed on Saturday.

The question now is what will his next step be. He could build a house that only rises 40 feet above ground.

He could also sell the 12-acre site on Northside Drive.

Check back for updates.

If I were Protman I would sell my land to a developer who would could put in a subdivision of homes all over the 12 acres. Before neighbors influenced the government to tell him how he could use his land, they should have thought about the consequences. Don’t be surprised if this is the ultimate result.
