The Georgia Court of Appeals has decided Marietta can demolish a dilapidated building on South Marietta Parkway near Interstate 75.
Marietta city attorney Doug Haynie said the building’s owner, Waleed “Lee” Jaraysi, has 10 days to ask the Court of Appeals to reconsider.
If he is denied, he can take the matter to the Georgia Supreme Court. Jaraysi's problems with the city started six years ago when he started work on a 24,000-square foot office building three times the size the city permitted. A Cobb Superior Court judge decided in the city's favor in 2010.
