My home a t t he a bove add r es·s is adj ac en t to the p rope rty
up f or r ezoni ng. I wish to be hea rd, and find tha t I
wi l l be ou t of town.~ Henc e t h is l e tt e r~
S i nc e I feel ve ry s trongly abou t t his recu rri ng matt e r,
th i s l ~t t~r will be· l enght y and i n some deta il.~ I beg
your i ndulgence:~
We moved he r e 5 yea r s ago and bu i l t the house on t h i s
l ot-0-, We d i d s o because of its conven i ent locat io n and
the high type: middle class homes wh i ch form th i s community. Three Atlanta friends also cited certa i n advantages
to having a city of Atlanta addresso These advantages,
I am sorry to say, have alli p roven fallaciouso.As a matter of fact, these helpful friends now reside
outside th~ city limits. The principue reason for· moving:
they became disenchante~ by official acts of the c i ty·
government which penalized, or threatened to· penalize,
them as home-owning citi'zensQ..
These people, like the ones now living in the Continentil..
Colony area-, are middle--to ...upp_~r-middle income group
ioho form the source-wel~ for community leaders - prime
movers for better living conditions, better homes and
churches· and schools, who create and demand upgraded
standards~ They are the ones who are f ill to· pay the
price to help themselves have bett~r ti ngs of 1 ife, such
as a community that cares, a bit of privacy, minimum of noise and confusions, good neighbors, happy environ,runent, etc.
And they are the ones who are most willing to help the
less fortunate toward the same goals.
Now this p~titton is aimed directly• at thes~ kind of
peopl~. To put it mildly, another dis~nchantment, another
example of so-called planning - like the expressway ramps I have been witness to befor~ in your city hall,. a kind of
harassment encouraged and condoned by city offici Isa

This is the ma in reason why the p e ople of Sandy Springs
last year chose not to become citizens of Atlanta ; and
the same reason why a slum group did join up:o Jou creat e
conditions intolerable for the first group, while the second
is hoping for a littLe better j)Iace tha n they have°"
This is also the reason why,. out of a group of 23 people
transferred to Atlanta several years ago by one of our
larger national conce r/f.,, only two stilI have a city of
.l+.tlanta · address a. And ~hese were people in the T2, 000 {114, 000, and above:, saTary range:..,. I know, . I was· one of
themo
A nd it is the reason why you wilL drive more· people: out,
and create more slums. If this rezoning is approved the
Continental Colony area of homes will begin a slow det e rioration tha t is inherent with the coming of a large apartment complex tha t blocks the orderly developm e nt of a
resid -ental' s ection. People in the :/h5, 000 - lh B, 000 inca:nu~
group, which will include clos e to Bo% of those in this·
area, will not· put up with th e condition that will come
and t hey will move out, even a t a loss. The house s wi l l
eithe r sta nd empty for a whil e.i, , or be occupi ed by a lo we r

Thi s is simpl y the s ocial" history of mu n icipal de t e rioni. t io na
Check with any Sociolog y PHD a t Emory or Ga . S t a t e or Te e n.
When a small ' r es ident al area of a c ·ity i s isola t ed and bl ocked
by an envi ronment of l esser qual ity, the area simply is

depth.
Now for anothe r p o int of c ontention. The claim that the
addit ion of an apa rtmen t' Compl ex will: increase: property
valu~s i s bare-faced· untro,~: and misleading. Value , of course·,
is somewhat of a relative term., What one hol'ds dear, another
will d i scard. But anyway you slice it, this land with
apartments nf!xt d oo r, will not be more: valuable t o the
present hom~oumers or futu r e homeowners~ I have gon~ throu<]k
this befor'e, and so have othersp In tenns of money,. which'
is not t he oniy c ti teria for value, the amount ranges from
400'0.00 to #6000.00 less~
z· certainiy will lose money~ How~ver the amount will be small
to what the city of Atlanta will lose over a period of say, 15 years-.
I have seen nothing in the plans offered that will counteract
the prospect of deterioration and loss of value to the home
owner, Despite the brightly· colored brochures and pt!rsuasive
words of the project promoters, these are essentially· the S~NI'=
two-·story, box type· building, so well knoun in this area as
�the cheap ~ st of alI constructiono The gloss a nd floss
of the trimmi ngs i s to f ool' the u nwa ryo I 1 ived i n s u c h

The p r i c es are cu t 9 A less des i rabl e t ype renter moves in ...
And if the f o recasters are wrong, and t he rate fails t o

for the benefi t of "planned" landscaping~ Such things have
happened before,;,,
There is quite a drainage problem here, you knou.
Yet, in spite of all this, the city seems bent of penalizing
the type of citizen you would think it would want to the
most to keep. Not only to keep, but to bring in more of the
same kind - the ones wit'fi the time, the little extra money,
the educated background, the self-motivated inclination
to support the churches, schools·, civic projects· of art,

2474 Black Forest Trail,
Atlanta, Georgia 30331
January 17, 1967
Lo Members of the Zoning Committee:
City Hall,
Atlanta, Georgia
we eO 2 BIG oF
Rez Rezoning Petition, Jan. 19, 1967
Continental Development Corps
Land Lots 228 and 229, Dist. 14.
My home at the above address is adjacent to the property
up for rezonings I wish to be heard, and find that I
will be out of town. Hence this letters
Since I feel very strongly about this recurring matter,
this letter will be lenghty and in some detaile I beg
your indulgences
We moved here 5 years ago and built the house on this
lote We did so because of its convenient location and
the high type middle class homes which form this comm=
unity. Three Atlanta friends also cited certain advantages
to having a city of Atlanta addresse These advantages,
I am sorry to say, have alI proven fallaciouse
As a matter of fact, these helpful friends now reside
outside the city limits. The principle reason for moving?
they became disenchanted by offictal acts of the city
government which penalized, or threatened to penalize,
them as home-ouwning citizense
These people, like the ones now living in the Continentd
Colony areay are middle-to-upppr-middle income group
who form the source=well for community leaders - prime
movers for better living conditions, better homes and
churches and schools, who create and demand upgraded
standardss They are the ones who are will to pay the
price to help themselves have better tings of life, such
as a community that cares, a bit of privacy, minimum of -
noise and confusions, good neighbors, happy environmmenft, etc.
And they are the ones who are most willing to help the
less fortunate toward the same goals»
Now this petition tis aimed directly at these kind of
people, To put it mildly, another disenchantment, another
example of so-called planning - like the expressway ramps =
I have been witness to before in your city hall, a kind of
harassment encouraged and condoned by city officialse
a ot
This is the main reason why the people of Sandy Springs
last year chose not to become citizens of Atlanta; and
the same reason why a slum group did join up. You create
conditions intolerable for the first group, while the second
ts hoping for a little better place than they havec
Lhis is also the reason why, out of a group of 2} people
transferred to Atlanta_ several years ago by one of our
larger national concers, only two still have a city of
Atlanta address. And these were people in the 12,000 —
~14,000, and above, salary rangés I know, I was one of
theme
And it is the reason why you will drive more people out,
and create more slums, Lf this rezoning is approved the
Continental Colony area of homes will begin a slow deter—
toration that is inherent with the coming of a large apart—
ment complex that blocks the orderly development of a
residental section. People in the $15,000 — $18,000 incume
group, which will include close to 80% of those in this
aréa, will not put up with the condition that will come
and they will move out, even at a losse The houses will
either stand empty for awhile, or be occupied by @ lower
income group, Then repeated, dounward steps each times
This is simply the social history of municipal deteriorétion.
Check with any Sociology PHD at “mory or Ga. State or Techs
When a small residental area of a city is isolated and blocked
by an environment of lesser quality, the area simply is
overwhelmed, stagnation sets in and decay is ultimateés
The alternativet put age Rise apartments west of Greenbriar
fronting on Cambellton Road with 300-400 feet maximum ap
depths
Now for another point of contentione The claim that the
addition of an apartment Complex will increase property :
values is bare-faced untrue and misleading. Value, of course,
is somewhat of a relative term, What one holds dear, another
will discards But anyway you slice it, this land with
apartments next door, will not be more valuable to the
present homeowners or future homeoumerse I have gone througr
this before, and so have otherss In terms of money, which
is not the only ckiteria for value, the amount ranges from
$4000.00 to $6000.00 lessa
I certainly will lose moneye However the amount will be small
to what the city of Atlanta will lose over a period of =
say, 15 yearss
I have seen nothing in the plans offered that will counteract
the prospect of deterioration and loss of value to the home=
owners Despite the brightly colored brochures and persuasive
words of the project promoters, these are essentially the Same
two~story box type building so well knoum in this area as
= 3 &
the cheapest of alI construction. The gloss and floss
of the trimmings is to fool the unwaryo I lived in such
an apartment group when we first moved here ~ air conde,
wall-to-wall, quiet settled people, etc etc — my wife
almost went crazy before we could get outs. My hub caps
were stolen twice, next-door neighbor's carg broken
into, and it was a rare week-end that the police were
not around.
You are being misled by the claim that these apartments
will attract the permanent type residente Thts type is a
rare bird in this areao I don't know of any more non~
permanent. They include the young unmarrieds — mostly
airline employees - , OT young married people who will
be moving on in another year, two at the most. People
in their 30's, 408s and 50's with families don't live
tn apartments if they can possibly help ite
Lhe argument that the present high occupancy rate is
evidence of the need for more apartments will not hold
water. It is evidence only of a locked-in market,
people trapped — and I do mean trapped — in appartments
by the shortage of homes, the scarcity and high cost ~
of credits This condition will not exist much longer,
because help for the prospective home-ouner is already
on the waye Personally, I know of more than a dozen families
who can hardly wait to escape the luxury of apartment
livings
Incidently, the 150 foot “buffer” zone offered the
owners on Black Forest will be nothing more that a play-
ground for the children from the first row of apartmentse
And so far as the proposed "Country Club" is concerned,
It means nothing to me. I doubt if it will mean much to
any resident. The ones J have seen elsewhere were either soon
deserted or turned into warehouses, or rather storage
HOUSES»
Consider other economic possibilitiessa If after this project
ets underway, the occupancy rate drops off, what happens?
he prices are cuts A less desirable type renter moves ins
And if the forecasters are wrong, and the rate fails to
hold up, then maybe there there will be some partially
completed buildings to compete with the red mud and rag weeds
for the benefit of "planned” landscaping. Such things have
happened beforés
There is quite a drainage problem here, you knows
Vet, in spite of all this, the city seems bent of penalizing
the type of citizen you would think it would want to the
most to keepe Not only to keep, but to bring in more of the
same kind - the ones with the time, the little extra moneys
the educated background, the self-motivated inelination
to support the churches, schools, civic projects of art,
ee. a
theater and humanities. But no, we are the unwanted people.
Sold down the river, so to speak. (One Greenbriar business
man was heard to say, aboutthe first week in December
"these apartments are in the bag. Haven't you heara?”)
There is something of a moral question heres Maybe more than
ones Time after time I have heard you gentlemen sayz ".
am going to do what is best for Atlanta.” What is best?
after 5 years observation I would say your main objective
is to make Atlanta "big". Big commercially, big in sports,
high in plane landings, up in construction. All, good, I
believes But there are some other bigs? High muder rate,
high lesser crimes, High welefare costs, High traffic
deaths, High traffic accidents without deaths The slums
and the bums. Bigs
"Forward Atlante”is a fine thinge More industrialization,
more trade. In doing this, you and the Chamber of Commerce
did what was expedient at the moment, what woulé bring in
the most tax revenue, what would get the job done in @ hurrys
And mostly you forgot to provide for the middle, or upper
middle class home ouwnera There are few, very few places withn
Atlanta for him to live,. desirable places. He is crowded
out by the big hodge-podge of little commerciali zations
fie is the forgotten man, the neglected man, the abuséd mane
This is particularly true in the S. We. section of Atlanta
where people who want to live within easy traveling distance
of Fulton County Airport or Municipal Airport or the Industrial
Park, have little choice in desirable home location. So more
and more, the engineers, the foreman, the plant managers,
the district supervisors, the sales managers, and young
professional people, and pilots = these people are leaving
Atlanta to find a desirable place to live. They are going across
the river or to m communities south of here, or buying 10
acres in the eoun®ky and building theres
To them, desirable citizens all, Atlanta is an "unfriendly"
citys It cares nothing about theme oFFERS Me Regret ron,
Gentlemen, you may not be particularly interested, but my
state and local taxes is about $1240.00 a years Personal
taxes, not business taxese The approximate breakdown asx
follows? $220.00 Saless 310.00 Incomes $710.00 Property,
Intang property, auto and gasoline, And my place of residenee
tis the only real property 1 oums
And for this you want to put apartments in my back yards
For this price I know when I am being had, and it ts coming
to an enda
For your information, and the informations of others I hope
to send copies of this, we spent close to $1100,00 at one
one sto@in Greenbriar for clothings from the first of Sept~
ember thru Christmas fax (Not Rich's) Add my wife's clothes
5m
clothes, food, drugs, household supplies ete, and you come Bx
up with #340.00 monthly expenditures — yearly averages
If that is not enough,, I am sorry Mr. Storekeeper. Lt is
endings It ended right after @hristmas. Since then we
have spent 10¢ at Greenbriar - for a newspapers We even
returned $48.00 worth of Christmas presents, not to be
exchanged, but for credito
We traded elsewhere before Greenbriar and we can do it againe
Convienence ees I am getting tired and my spelling oe es
convenience does not me*nuch to mes I am enclosing half of
Rich's credit cards The other half goes to hims Uy wife has
a couple of more that will be halved when she gets backoa
I do not own a Gulf card, but I znow of some that are not
around @nymores
And I know wno I am not going to vote for in the next city
electionooes if IT ama resident thens
I don*t especially like to be rough, but when someone puts
corncobs in my bathroom don't expect me to reciprocate with
Scott tissues
Further, I intend to transfer out of Atlanta all of my
assets I can legally do so without penalty or loss, in
anticipation of the time when I can leave this unfriendly
citys Bigs Idon't like little intrigues.
I nave a friend in Houston who says? "A New Yorker bets his
money on triple mortgages and fine print, A Texan bets his
money on first mortgages and a political friend.”
I don't like the job, but you forced it on met so in the
meantime, yours as the ambassodor of ill-will.
Very truly yours,
Karcks

DTeponent was assured by the said Mr. Flanagan that
the entire development would be in accordance with the diagram
and would be controlled by the covenant furnished ts hin.

On the 2nd day of August, LOGO, deponent entered
into a sales agreement and on the lith day of August, 1960,
denvonent purchased Lot 24 of Block 5D, which is deponent's
present residence.

Deponent was particularly interested in the ict width
and the tyme of houses to be built and was assured by the said
Mz. Flanagan that his house, which cost $27,500.00, would be
one of the cheaper houses in the subdivision and that the Lot
midth would be one hundred {100) feet mininun. Deponent was
also concerned with the apartments and the shopping center, and
the apertment area and approximate number were pointed out by
the said tir. Flanagan, who represented to deponent and assured
him that tha apartments were there to constitute a buffer in
order to protect the proverty value, and that the apartments to

Dear Mr . Flanigen:
Re item Z-67-33G on agenda, Zoning Committee meeting April 6, 1967.
The Housing Resources Committee is very much interested in getting
this site rezoned to A-1 or A-~ Limited in order to permit construction
·of 224 1-.ousing uni ts under 22ld ( 3) Coop as a part of the Mayor 's
accelerated housing program.
These would be sales housing, not rental apartments 1and with the 3%
mortgage money available through this program will permit home ownership with monthly payments less than rent would be under other financing methods . In addition, the portion of monthly payments attributable
· to interest would be deductible for income tax purposes.
The Foundation for Cooperative Housing, a very competent and experienced
nationaf ~p; ofit organization, is sponsoring the development and
·
management -of this project.
It is this Committee 's feeling that this is the most pract ical use for
this land and should tend to uplift rather than pull down, the
neighborhood.
I urgently request that your Committee give reconsideration to the re zoning of this tract.

Re. the attached, pertaining to item Z-07-33G on Zoning Committee
agenda April 6, 1967.
MEMORANDUM TO: Méyor Allen
This is a 20 acre tract off Brown's Mill Road (west side), South
of property fronting on Oak Drive and west of the property fronting on
Brown's Mill Road and is the eastern most portion of a much larger tract
now zoned M-1.
The prorerty is owned by Lee F, Fore who is anxious to have it
developed under the 221d(3) coop propram. The Builder is the Atlanta
Building and Development Corporation and the project is being sponsored
by the Foundation for Cooperative Hcusing, a well known national non-
profit organization; the same one which sponsored Kastwych Village and
Cambridge Square, both in DeKalb Ccunty.
Application for rezoning was filed February 27. The Planning Board
recommendation Merch 15, was favorable,
It appears that people in the general neighborhood did not under-
stand that the development proposed is for nice town houses for sale
and not for cheap rental apartments. Under this plan the units are
pre-sold from samples to be constructed on the site by the sponsor,
before construction of each stage of the project begins.
Cecil Alexander, Mr. Jim Pilcher (who sat in on the zoning hearing),
fir. Wm. W, Gates (consultant to the Housing Resources Committee) and I
all feel that this proposed development would be appropriate for the
area and is needed in the accelerated housing progran.
Respectfully,

was considered:
Following a brief explanation o f its o rigin and purpose by Mr. Gladin,
the cormnittee unanimously adop ted a resolution approving a request for
financial assistance t o plan, develop, and implement a comprehensive
program of · economic redevelopment in the Mode l Neighborhood.
Relative to the organization of the City's Model Neighborhood Program,

presentation by the consultqn ts and then stated that two and one-half
years ago the City began with ten studies in the CIP. These were listed
as follows: Planning, Sewers, Design, Social and Welfare, Equal Opportunity
In Housing, Relocation, Economic/Marketability, Administrative, Legal and
Fiscal. He then stated that these ten studies group themselves into
basically four categories-:- physical, social, administrative and governmental,
insofar as conditions, trends and implication for future development, etc.
are concerned; that these CIP studies are geared toward a program of action
and today he would like to begin a work session with the corrn:nittee with a
view toward adoption of a Final CIP Program of Action; that the people who
have worked on it up to this point are not in agreement and cannot be until
a final program is in such form that it is acceptable to the Mayor and Board .
of Aldermen; that the Program of Action should be detailed to meet Atlanta's
needs, its intent for future development, its capabilities and resources.
Mr. Aldridge stated he had originally reserved three dates on three successive
Fridays for the work sessions, beginning today; that whether all, or more
meetings will be needed is open at this time but the technicians felt they
have gone as far as they can go prior to involving the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen. He then turned the meeting over to Mr. Candeub.
Mr. Candeub briefly stated ~hat the purpose of the work to date was to develop
a program f or the City of Atlanta which could carry out, over a period of time,
all of the improvement needs of the City in a very coordinated fashion and
with relation to the economic needs of the City's physical requirements. Mr.
Candeub then stated that at this point there .is ~asically two types of
items for the aldermen to consider - the form of a program for the improvement
of areas needing improvement and the scale of priorities and level of commitment.
He then introduced John Brown, in charge of their Atlanta office.
Mr. Brown addressed the . committee at length relative to the above items
with the use of accompanying maps and charts, listed as follows:
Staged Program For Improvement Action
This chart divided the City into eight sectors and within each sec t or three
major elements of the CIP were covered , i.e., Improvement Treatment; Public
Facilities and Concentrated Social Action. These three categories were further
broken down into staging areas and three time periods(l967-70 ; 1971-75; 1976-83),
all geared to the year 1983.
It was explained at this point that a staging area was analogous to a neighborhood
and .a s.ector similar to a district.
Proposed Treatment
This chart indicated three types o f proposed treatment: Selective Redevelopment,
Rehabilitation and Code Conservation. Priorities were indicated with color
codes and also shown were "no treatment" areas. A second map was displayed
illustrating this on a larger scale.

Sharing of Program Costs
Three fiscal charts were exhibited. The first chart illustrated the
total cost of the CIP, as well as the City and Federal share. The second
chart showed, in greater detail, the first chart by indicating the cost
of the CIP to the City geared to the three time periods aforementioned.
The third chart s~owed _comparative sector costs by time periods.
Mr. Brown explained that the number of years in the three time periods
varied. The first one was timed to coincide with the City's current
Capital Improvements'Program; the second time period was based on information
available in that increment and the third represented the remainder of
the time.
Chairman Cook made the observation that the meeting was open to questions
and following a brief discussion, he concluded the -meeting by saying
that the information presented was very general in nature.and that he felt
he could not make a decision unless he had an opportunity, along with the
committee, to evaluate the individual treatment of each sector in much
more detail and requested that the consultants return _at the next scheduled
meeting on Friday, June 2, to present the more detailed findings of their
studies. The consultants concurred.
There being no further business, the meeting was ad1ourned.

Re:

22 acre tract on Piedmont Road

Gentlemen:
Within t he pa st year , I pur chas ed a home at 254 Alberta
Drive, N. E. i n the be lief tha t I would enjoy quie t pos sess i on.
Th i s has not bee n the case.
Since t he time of pur chase, it s ee ms that I have spent
a gr eat dea l of my t i me at tending z oning hearings be f ore your
Board. I have g l adly done t h i s, as a homeowner must be prepared
t o make his posit i on known when h is neighborhood is in jeopardy,
and I wi s h to take th i s opportunity to make my per sona l feelings
known to the Board.
I am concerned about the recurring statements that ,
numerous applicants have made to the Board that the area of
Piedmont Road between Peachtree Road and Roswell Road is no
longer suited to residential purposes. If substantial citizens
continue to live in t he area and are willing to defend their
residences as vigorously as have the homeowners in this area,
I believe these facts clearly prove the contrary.

It is true that some homes have been sold in this area ·
over a period of years and it is true that speculators and developers have purchased the property because they are able to
pay more than a homeowner if they are confident that they can
get the property rezoned for business purposes.
I do not believe it is necessary to expand on the me thods of developers who purchase residential property and allow i t
to consciously fall into disrepair, thereby blighting the neighborhood.
At the present time, there is n o way to pr ohibit this
unf ortunate s i tuation by direct action; however, throu gh our
·e lect e d repre s en ta t i ves , I would hope tha t it is poss i ble to
stop this tactic by making it clearly understood that developers
may not create an undesirable situation and then capitalize on
it by c oming before this Board and a rguing that the pr ope rty is
now unsu ited f or r es i de nt ia l purposes , thereby r e quiring its conversi on to business pur pos e s. I t is my firm b e l ief t hat it would
take but a f ew instances of the Board upho l d ing the h ome owners
in estab l ished neighborhood s t o effect ively halt the c reation of
t r ansitional ne ighbor hoods. It would be i ll -adv ised f or develop ers to purchase s uch pr operty ~f they were aware that the Board
o f Aldermen wou l d not grant requests for rezoning merely because
they are creating an undesirab le situation in a neighborhood.
In short, gen t lemen, the citizens and homeowners of
this City must rely on you t o protect their i nteres ts, and it
was for this purpose that you were chosen b y the voter s a nd i t
would seem to be your dut y and responsibility to do so a s long
as it does not interfere with the growth and deve lopment of our
City.
This rais e s the que s tion whe ther it is in the best interests of At l anta to pre s erv e these ne i ghbor hood s or to allow
sprawling dev elopment anywhere dev e l opers can create an unstable
situation. If the lat ter is a llowed to continue, the City of
Atlanta will be composed ev entua lly of bu s i ness establishments,

housing which generally is being rented from unconcerned landlords and isolated residential sections of Atlanta which appear
secure but which very few individuals may take advantage of both
because of limited physical area and finances.
I am thirty years of age with a family and at the · time
of purchasing my home, I considered whether it would be best to
live in the City or in an outlying area such as Sandy Springs.
After careful consideration, I chose the former because I did not
wish to divide and isolate my business and residential activities.
In general, I felt it was to my interest and hopefully of benefit
to the City to place both my business and civic loyalty in one
place and I will continue to do so if I am allowed to remain i n
-a neighborhood within the City in which I can take pride. I say
this only because I believe many families in my same age group
share the same feelings.
If, however, you feel that the City would prosper best
under the well-known "doughnut" development of many American
cities, then I concede that the application in question should
be approved.
Gentlemen, I am sure that all of the opinions and beliefs stated in this letter are already well-known to you and
that as conscientious public servants you have weighed them carefully. My only purpose in communicating them t o you is to n o tify you that this homeowner, and others as well, feel that the
ultimate questions to be decided by you are the ones stated above;
that we are aware of this situation; and that we are awaiting anxiously your decision. The proposed encroachment on this residential area will not strike a death blow to the entire residential
city, of course, but I suggest that it presents a classic and
typical case and the lines for future action can be seen in your
decision on this application.

Re: Zoning Application #Z-67-50
22 acre tract on Piedmont Road
between Ivy Road and Roswell Road
Gentlemen:
Within the past year, I purchased a home at 254 Alberta
Drive, N. E. in the belief that I would enjoy quiet possession.
This has not been the case.
Since the time of purchase, it seems that I have spent
a great deal of my time attending zoning hearings before your
Board. I have gladly done this,as a homeowner must be prepared
to make his position known when his neighborhood is in jeopardy,
and I wish to take this opportunity to make my personal feelings
known to the Board.
I am concerned about the recurring statements that
numerous applicants have made to the Board that the area of
Piedmont Road between Peachtree Road and Roswell Road is no
longer suited to residential purposes. If substantial citizens
continue to live in the area and are willing to defend their ~
residences as vigorously as have the homeowners in this area,
I believe these facts clearly prove the contrary.

It is true that some homes have been sold in this area’
over a period of years and it is true that speculators and de-
velopers have purchased the property because they are able to
pay more than a homeowner if they are confident that they can
get the property rezoned for business purposes.
I do not believe it is necessary to expand on the meth-
ods of developers who purchase residential property and allow it
to consciously fall into disrepair, thereby blighting the neigh-
borhood.
At the present time, there is no way to prohibit this
unfortunate situation by direct action; however, through our
‘elected representatives, I would hope that it is possible to
stop this tactic by making it clearly understood that developers
may not create an undesirable situation and then capitalize on
it by coming before this Board and arguing that the property is
now unsuited for residential purposes, thereby requiring its con-
version to business purposes. It is my firm belief that it would
take but a few instances of the Board upholding the homeowners
in established neighborhoods to effectively halt the creation of
transitional neighborhoods. It would be ill-advised for develop-
ers to purchase such property if they were aware that the Board
of Aldermen would not grant requests for rezoning merely because
they are creating an undesirable situation in a neighborhood.
In short, gentlemen, the citizens and homeowners of
this City must rely on you to protect their interests, and it
was for this purpose that you were chosen by the voters and it
would seem to be your duty and responsibility to do so as long
as it does not interfere with the growth and development of our
City.
This raises the question whether it is in the best in-
terests of Atlanta to preserve these neighborhoods or to allow
sprawling development anywhere developers can create an unstable
situation. If the latter is allowed to continue, the City of
Atlanta will be composed eventually of business establishments,

August 17, 1967
Mr. Milton G. Farris
1167 Cardinal Way SW
Atlanta, Georgia 30311
Dear Mr. Farris:
The home owners in the Northwest portion of the city are deeply con-
cerned over the application for another hospital located on Northside
Parkway above West Paces Ferry Road. We have voiced our opinions and
desires before the zoning committee at the public meeting concerning
this application last week. We want each member of the aldermanic
board to know of our concern and interest in keeping this area for
residential use.
Having listened to planning and zoning problems for more than ten years
and having professional training in land planning, I very firmly believe
that this property under consideration should remain as an integral part
of this very fine residential area of outstanding homes. It is very
distasteful to me to have the proponents imply that a change of zoning in
that area is inevitable, that it would be best to arbitrate at this time
and to accept the proposed application, as the City Aldermen would
definitely change the zoning on this property. I know the City Aldermen
are not subject to this type of reasoning.
The only reason neighborhoods deteriorate is because we let them. Where
we maintain high zoning standards, good building practices, citizens
interested in maintaining their neighborhood, residential zoning lasts
for centuries. This particular property of 64 acres is surrounded on
three sides by large, fine homes. The fourth side is Northside Parkway.
It is densely covered with tall pine and hardwood trees and a heavy under-
growth of native shrubbery, including azaleas and dogwoods. No other
area is more ideally suited for beautiful home sites.
We who live in the neighborhood are confident that you will assist us in
maintaining this area for residential use.
Sincerely,
CCF:cm Charles C. Ford

Gentlemen:
Again, I find it necessary to plead with
you for your cooperation in regards to the re-
zoning petition of property located at the corner
of West Lake Avenue and Simpson Road, N. W. I
need not tell you the concern I have, as do all
of my neighbors in my community to keep our
neighborhood strictly residential. This desire
was expressed to you on August 24th, when the
public hearing was held, at which time I served
as a spokesman for my neighbors in the Urban Villa
Sub-division. |
For eleven years I have lived at my present
address, and for almost the same number of years I
have found it necessary to protest the re-zoning
of property on the west side of West Lake Avenue
for commercial use by any speculators. I am not
against business ventures by anyone, for I realize
the need for business for more municipal revenue;
by the same token, I know the need for more neighbor-
hood stabilization. I also recognize the need for
a greater effort on the part of city officials to
alleviate the deterioration of existing neighborhoods.
I do not profess to be a city planner, but I
ask you again Mr. Aldermen, would the city build an
elementary school for more than 700 school children
(namely, the Walter F. White Elementary School)--
less than two years ago, to find itself without
children to attend this school? Would the city
concern itself with the welfare of more than four
hundred property owners in the West Lake, Simpson

Road, Ezra Church, Richardson Road, Whitaker Circle,
Detroit Avenue, Detroit Court, Pinedale Drive, and
Simpson Terrace, N. W., areas; or add to the many
problems of congestion that we now face in the area
east of West Lake Avenue? I ask you again, Mr.
Aldermen, where do we go from here? Being public
servants for all the people, all of you have long
realized the need to “draw a line” and in so doing,
set a precedent for strict code and re-zoning
enforcements not just for this tract of land
only, but for many areas throughout the city. The
time has long passed when this neighborhood should
be concerned each year as to how our Aldermen will
rule for the west side of West Lake Avenue.
During this day of so much unrest in many cities
and even unrest experienced in our own city, most of
you must realize the need for a new approach to meet
the problems that such re-zoning creates. In addition
to planning in neighborhoods by property owners,
an increase in city services is needed; enriched
school programs, library services for its citizens,
to name a few.
+ Therefore, may I again urge you to please deny
the petition for commercial use and at the same time,
design a plan for the best possible use of this land
in keeping with residential patterns and regulations?
With deep appreciation for your cooperation in
this matter, I am
Sincerely yours,
(Mrs.) Bernice C, Cook |

CITY OF ATLANTA
BOARD OF ALUVERMEN 2UNING CUMMITTER
REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION OF ZONING APPLICATION
OF T. M. ALEXANDER, JR. (SOUTHWEST CORNER
OF WHST LAX® AND SIMPSON, S. We)
T. M. Alexander, Jr. respectfully requests that .
the Zoning Committes recousider its action of August 24, 1967,
denying his application for rezoning for service station use
of the property on the southwest corner of West Lake aad
Simpson, S. ¥. The applicant understands that the denial was
based on Comsittoe dissatisfaction with the justification
offered by the staff who recommended the rezoning requested.
Applicant submits the following points as justification for
this request:
1) The application was recommended by the Zoning
staff and the Planning Board after applicant complied with
their requests, primarily to set off large buffer zones detween
the proposed service station and the property to the south and
to the west of the situs (which containing trees offer an
excellent insulation to any commercial activity -- see copy of
plat attached hereto as Gxhibit 12 and of picture attached as
Exhibit 1).
2) One of the staff personnel with most detailed
knowledge of the justification for the resoning (Mr. Shuttleworth)
was on vacation at the time of the August 24 hearing and
not available to advise the Committee.
3) The property in question is an integral part
of the commercial bustle of the intersection of West Lake
and Simpson, S. WN. and is not insulated or buffered from it
at all. It has infinitely more relation to that intersection
than to the areas south and west of it, as only a casual
inspection will show, Directly across West Lake in full
sight, sound and smell, is a shopping center of not overly
lovely appearance (see pictures attached as Exhibit 2; see
also Exhibits 3 and 4 for pictures of the other corners).
If a zoning line is to be drawn, it should be where trees and
earth banks can shield from sight and sound.
4) The property in question is greatly devalued
as residential property and can be maintained only at a loss,
so that if rezoning is denied applicant is deprived of the
reasonable use of his property, to which use he has a right
under due process and the privilege and immunities secured by
the Constitution and the laws. Applicant offers to show by
testimony and figures the difficulty he had attempting to
economically and sanitarily maintain the building that formerly
existed at the property and the problems that caused him to
tear it down.
5) There is not and has not been a true dividing
line at West Lake insulating Sispson Road west of West Lake
from commercial activities. True there ara some lovely homes
in the area. fut it is heavily infested with apartment
buildings. Moreover, only one-half milo west of West Lake
on Simpson is butch's Drive-In Restaurant with a very large
parking lot (see copy of map attached as Exhibit 13 and of
pictures attached as LUxhibits 6 and 6). And twoetenths of a
mile beyond that is a commercial corner at Simpson and Anderson
consisting of two stores, a new diner and a service station
only several years old (see pictures attached hereto as Exhibits 7,
8, 9, 10 and 11). Just north of this corner a shert block is
&@ lounge and drive in.
6) Simpson Road is a main oastewest route (as is
West Lake a main aorth-south route). [t may ultimately and
inevitably be destined as a commercial artery such as Piedmont
Avenue and Peachtree Street have become. However, the
commercialization of the lot in question, insulated by buffer
zones and giving every appearance to casual observation of being
an integral part of the Simpson-West Lake intersection, can have
virtually ne significant effect on the further commercialization
of Simpson toad. Certainly the effect is minimal and conjectural
when compared with the very substantial and present damage
suffered by applicant frow inability te rezone his property.
7) Commercial enclaves can and do exist without
necessarily infecting surrounding residential property, of which
applicant can give examples to the committee by testimony.
8) The northeast corner of the iatersection at West
Lake and Simpson is occupied by a service station of a major oil
company that occupies a dominant competitive position in the
City of Atlanta. It would be in the best interest of free
enterprise, which all the members of this Committee are on
record as favoring, to allow another oil company to service
this heavily traveled intersection.
Applicant therefore respectfully requests that the
Committee reconsider his application and do the following:
a) Retone the property in question for commercial
use aS #3 a service station.
b) If such rezoning is denied, specify the reason
for the denial.
¢) If such rezoning is denied, specify the standard
or standards used in making such a determination, and similar
determinations.
d) If such rezoning is denied, state what commercial
use, if any, applicant may make of the property.
e) If such rezoning is denied, state what other use,
if any, applicant may make of the property.
£) If such rezoning is denied, state what action
applicant may take, if any, in order to have the property
rezoned for a service station.
Applicant respectfully requests that any member
with a personal interest in this matter, if any, recuse himself
from considering the application.
This Ist day of September, 1967,
T. M. Alexander, Jr.

Re: Zoning Application of T. M. Alexander,
Jr. at Simpson and West Lake
Dear Mr. Farris:
I have read in the Atlanta Constitution that you and
Alderman Millican expressed resentment at the “implications" in
the rezoning request I recently filed for T. M. Alexander, Jr.
As you know, I did not mention either of you by name in the
request nor the name of Gulf 011 Corporation. I do think the
Situation presents somewhat of a conflict of interest problem
but know that reasonable and honorable men (which I consider you
and Mr. Millican to be) might differ with me. I certainly
appreciate the dilemna a politician who works for a living some-
times has in honestly representing his constituents without being
unduly affected, probably unconsciously, by his personal interests.
If I have offended you and Mr. Millican I apoligize. But
I certainly feel obligated to represent my client by all legal
means. After studying the situation and the situs which we are
seeking to rezone, I am firmly convinced of the equity of our
rezoning request. There is commercial property right across the
strect and our plot is completely unshielded from it. Only a casual
visit to the premises would convince you that the plot is a part
of the commercial activities at that corner. The Zoning Staff and
Planning Board recommended the rezoning. Mr. Alexander has agreed to
set up generous buffer zones to shield the property to the west and
to the south from the sights and sounds of commercial activity (as
his own plot is not shielded).
There has been talk that West Lake has been more or less
a dividing line protecting Simpson west of it from the commercial
activities of Simpson east of it. I submit that the protection has
been “less" rather than more, Within the next few blocks going
Honorable Milton Farris -2- September 8, 1967
west on Simpson (and detailed by map and pictures in our request)
are: anot lovely drive-in restaurant with a large parking lot,
two very unmodern grocery stores, a new diner and a relatively
new filling station, a lounge just off Simpson and numerous
apartment buildings.
Mr, Alexander was not able to sanitarily and economically
maintain the property as residential property and offered to prove
such to the Zoning Committee. He could possibly use the property
for something else if the Zoning Conmittce would allow it (one
member suggested a drive-in and another said most anything but a
service station). However, the logical and efficient use of the
corner would be for a service station.
I am pleased that you are inclined to vote favorably on
the request. We intend to ask the Board of Aldermen to grant the
request. While it may be usual for the Board to follow the
recommendations of a Committee, it is also usual for the Zoning
Committee to follow the recommendation of the Zoning Staff on a
favorable recommendation, Certainly if the rezoning is denied we
believe that due process requires some articulation of the standard
or standards on which the denial is based.
By the way in my letter to Gulf 011 to which you apparently
referred in your statements to the Board, I said that Gulf apparently
nas 30 percent more service stations in Atlanta than its nearest
competitor,not that Gulf has 50 percent of the stations here. I
spoke with a Gulf official who says that Gulf is first in Atlanta
though not in the region and he attributes this to the foresight
and energy of Mr. Millican, your predecessor in charge of Gulf,
in locating sites and in building modern stations here.
With best personal regards, I am
Very truly yours,
fled Py flor
