Dear Sir: This letter is pertaining to the rezoning of the southwest corner of West lake Ave. at Simpson Road. rt comes up for rezoning September 18, 1.967. Rezoning would do an immense amount of damage to our property and to our community. Rezoning from residential to commercial status would bring about an immediate devaluation in our property values. Another imminent danger is that the rezoning of this piece of property would provide grounds for the rezoning of properties on each side or adjacent to it. This would open a flood-gate for the establishment of businesses and most of them would be of a honky-tonk nature down Simpson Road and up West Lake Ave. This would cause some of our neighbors to s ell and run and those who couldn 1 t s ell and run would have to stay and suffer. We have pleaded with the zoning committee for over ten years to consider the west side of West Lake Ave . as a proper place and line to stop or call a halt to commercial rezoning. The zoning committee and the entire Board of Aldermen have s een fit to grant us this plea each year for t en or mor e years .

I do no t have a pe t i t i on beari ng ma ny signat ures; I hav e no pe tition at all .

Wi th t his t houg h t in mind, we lo oked for a house to buy or a lot on whic h t o bui l d a home . After mont hs of s earching we f ound what we considered an i dea l spot on Flamingo Dri v e , S . W. We purchased the lot from the Wilson Real t y Col•.pany and had our home constructed. After we had moved i nto the house my son and I proc c edec' to clear the �land from our house to the creek (UTOY) which took approximately five months. (As a matter of int eres t, the good city of Atlanta hauled away f i f t e en truc k loads of brush and debri s). We a lso cl ea ned out a nd r earra nged the ro cks in the s tr eam to pe rmit a continuous f low of the wat er at the border of our proper ty.

This will give yo u a n idea as to what my son and I had to do to make this, in OJr opinion (whi c h is also sha re d by many othe rs), not only the most beautiful lot on the stree t but one of the nices t in southwe st Atlanta. I invit e you a nd your associates to see for your selv e s. Now as to the land developing a gency and the hearing itself, Two weeks ago I received a notice fr om the Planning Commi ssion regarding the Rez oning Proposal. I was one of £our or five pe opl e to r e ceive such noti f ication, even thoug h it would appea r to me that a ll of the re sidents of Flaming o Drive could be a ffe ct e d by this propo s it i on, I have never been involved in this type action before, so I call ed the Wils on Real Estate Age ncy to se cur e some information pri or to the hearing , I did not rece ive anything s ubstantial from them at tha t t ime; howev er , Mr. Mike Wil s on did call our home a f ew days l a t er anJ said he would like to b rief us (my wi fe and me ) on the plan for deve l oping the area in ques tion.

My life savings have gone into this house/lot inve s tment and I am not wealthy s o I cannot afford t o suffe r a drastic loss in property value . I continue to pour my money in this house/lot complex because we love our area but this will stop if the apartment hous e s are permitted to be built.

Atlanta, Georgia 30311 Chairman Board of Alderman Atlanta, Georgia Dear Sir: By way of introduction I am Lt Colonel Raymond W. Quinn, US Army, Ft McPherson, Georgia and 624 Flamingo Drive, S. W., Atlanta, Georgia 30311. On Thursday, 26 October 1967, at approximately 1610 hours, I was present at a meeting of the Board of Alderman (for the first time in my life) to listen to a petition from a development firm to rezone Willis Mill Road, North of Flamingo Drive, from a residential area to an apartment zone. Since the opposition was allotted ten minutes, I was unable to speak my piece and [ realize I could have remained until all of the petitions had been heard, and then have testified. My military duties during this week prevented me from staying later than 1630 hours, I do not know whether or not a decision has been made in this matter, but regardless, I offer this in consideration, My plea is a personal one, This may not mean much in a world where money, strength in numbers, and statistics seem to influence the de- cisions of some authorities. I do not have a petition bearing many signatures; I have no petition at all. If I did have such a document, it would be signed by such Luminaries as my wife, my son, me, my two dogs (Sheba and Charlie Brown) and the many house guests, both military and civilian, I have had since we built our home in August of 1964; which leads me to my next subject, my lot. Today, I mark twenty-six years of service. In November of 1963 I was reassigned from France to Atlanta and promptly moved into an aparte ment, so I am familiar with apartment living and the habits of some of the people who occupy such dwellings. We liked what we saw in Atlanta and immediately decided to live here permanently upon my retirement in March of 1971, With this thought in mind, we looked for a house to buy or a lot on which to build a home, After months of searching we found what we considered an ideal spot on Flamingo Drive, S. W. We purchased the lot from the Wilson Realty Cov.pany and had our home constructed, After we had moved into the house my son and I proccedec to clear the as a 7 =< Po ET enw Ts ee "GTs,  tin ee a or land from our house to the creek (UTOY) which took approximately five months, (As a matter of interest, the good city of Atlanta hauled away fifteen truck loads of brush and debris), We also cleaned out and rearranged the rocks in the stream to permit a continuous flow of the water at the border of our property, We still clean the stream bed of debris after each heavy rain and during this time of the year because of the falling leaves. As an after thought, two years ago (I spent the last year in Vietnam) I started to clear an additional part of our lot and it took me two days to negotiate a 45 by 45 foot strip. This will give you an idea as to what my son and I had to do to make this, in our opinion (which is also shared by many others), not only the most beauti- ful lot on the street but one of the nicest in southwest Atlanta, I invite you and your associates to see for yourselves, Now as to the land developing agency and the hearing itself, Two weeks ago I received a notice from the Planning Commission regarding the Rezoning Proposal, I was one of four or five people to receive such notification, even though it would appear to me that all of the residents of Flamingo Drive could be affected by this proposition, I have never been involved in this type action before, so I called the Wilson Real Estate Agency to secure some information prior to the hearing. [I did not receive anything substantial from them at that time; however, Mr, Mike Wilson did call our home a few days later and said he would like to brief us (my wife and me) on the plan for developing the area in question, On Monday, the 23rd of October, Mr, Wilson and the developer came to my home and presented the project, [I bring this point out only to illustrate the fact that, although (according to the proponent speakers at the meet- ing) this plan had been developed over six months ago, no one from the Developers or Wilson Realty had the common courtesy to call upon us and get our response to the plan, It's not that we weren't available; I re- turned from VietNam in June of this year and my wife remained in our home during, my tour overseas, If this is fair business procedure then apparent- ly my sense of justice is warped, To conclude this epistle, I add the following in no special chrono- logical order, My Life savings have gone into this house/lot investment and I am not wealthy so I cannot afford to suffer a drastic loss in property value, I continue to pour my money in this house/lot complex because we love our area but this will stop 1f the apartment houses are permitted to be built, Our house was robbed in broad daylight in March of 1966 (you can see we are rather isolated, by choice), but I can live through this but I could not tolerate the thought of apartment houses in the near vicinity. Tar cee We love Atlanta and all of Georgia and its people. It's truce we are "transplanted Yankees" but we feel there is no place like Atlanta and no place like our home and lot, I am sorry to say that if this re- zoning action goes through, then I will have to say adieu, if not to all of Atlanta, at least to the Southwest Section. I really thought after 26 years I would move no more, but it appears there will be one more time. As one last item, I offer this thought for you, sir, and your committee. Can you picture what this beautiful, blue colored, Utoy Creek will look like with an "apartment house/recreation area" complex upstream? [I can. Thank you for listening.

Text Any textual data included in the document October 6, 1967 Dear Neighbors and Property owners: An attempt by Tenneco Vil Company to re-zone the NE corner of Franklin and Roswell Poads is underway (Rea Zoning petition #Z-67-101-FC}. Tenneco has bought an option from Oid Salem Apts. and proposes to erect a joint gas station and food store on 200! (Roswell) xX 140" (Franklin) with two entrances on each street. The initial public hearing was held September 47th before the Atlanta-Fulton County Joint Planning Board. The petition was sent to the Fulton County Commissioners with the recommendation by the Joint Planning Board that it be returned for further study. Mr. Wilson Brooks, representing Tenneco, seems determined to have the Join 1t Planning Board allow ‘‘conditional zoning" as C-1 (Commercial). At the public hearing before the Commissioners of Fulton County on October 4th the neighborhood was well represented by 50- “38 people who made a strong appeal for denial of this petition. any perti- nent facts were brought out and a convincing case for denied seemingly made. However «ees The Fulton County Commissioners referred this petition back to the Joint Planning Board for "further study”. If re-zoning of this corner is allowed, we feel the opposite corner and all the property across Roswell will be re-zoned commercial in rapid succession. This area, of course, could well become another shopping center. The traffic generated by this activity (Tennecc) alone will make Franklin and adjoining streets thoroughfares. THE FULTON COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS ALREADY RECOMMENDED DENIAL. There are many reasons why we feel this petition should be denied. Certainly the approach to commercial zoning has been less than straightforward. We feel this would represent spot-zoning at its very worst. Traffic and-safety problems alone would be prohibitive. At this stage, there will be no further pubiic hearings. Mr. Hutchinson of the Joint Planning Board informs us that the next action by this group may be taken in exscutive session following its regular meeting on October 25th. Théir recommen- dation will probably be acted upon by the County Commissioners at their executive session following tno regular meeting on November ist. WE EXPECT CONTINUED ACTIVITI OF ALL SORTS BY BOTH PETITIONER AND PROPERTY OWNER Let's protect our neighborhood instead of letting it start downhill. Once C-1 (Commercial) re-zoning is allowed on this corner THERE WON'T BE ANY TURNING BACK. © Please take a minute and express your feelings to ples elected Commissioners and the appointed Joint Planning Board through _ either a personal note or phone call.

Atlanta, Georgia 30317 Dear Mr. Flanigens The Atlanta Branch NAACP strongly urges that the request to re-zone the tract of land situated on Sewell Road near Fairburn Road to allow the construction of some 650 public housing units be disapproved because of the fellowing reasons: ae The schools located in the Cascade heights area would not be able to accomodate the children of parents moving into the new projects. In this connection, the existing schools have already reached a saturation point, with the elementary school utilizing a local church for additional class room space. b. The northwest and southwest areas already have more than their share of public housing units which have created many problems in sewage, schools, recreational and service facilities etc. c. The area adjacent to the proposed site to build these units is one of the nicest residential sections in the city open for Negro occupancy. Every effort should be made to maintain racial balance in that neighborhood. Further, present community patterns should rewain constant, and every effort made to maintain the present level of property values and property. zoning. Approval of the above re-zoning request by your committee would lend confirmation to the obvious attempt by the power structure to systematically relocate Atlanta's Negro citizens to the southwest and northwest sections of this city. The NAACP has made it clear to the Mayor, the Atlanta Housing Authority, the Atlanta Housing Resources Committee, the U. S. Housing and Urban Development De- partment, the Zoning Committee, the developers and the press, that we are opposed to any further public housing apartments and privately developed apart- ments in the northwest and southwest sections until such a time that the north- o_o southeast areas receive their proportionate share of that type of housing.

It has really been thrushed down our throats too, much. I was reading in two of our newspapers where several of our Organiqations were going to do something about it. I do h ope and pray that they can and am appealing to you as Mayor to help us. After all we cannot all live in the N. E. and N. w. sections of our fair city, but we love our homes and friends as you all do. Why can some ~ , these low cost housing projects be put in other sections as these Newspapers p ointed out? And also why can 't some of the colored be there also? I am always reading where you say how well the Southwest sections meets the 11 intergration 11 problem. It looks as though the U.S. supreme court and the City officials push it down our throats. I was so disturbed to read where soma observer said, that Mayor Allen was 11 hell-bent 11 , to push this housing problem through.

I do hope and pray that they can and am appealing to you as Mayor to help us. After all we cannot all live in the N. E. and N. We sections of our fair city, but we love our homes and friends as you all doe Why can some of these low cost housing projects be put in other sections as these Newspapers pointed out? And also why can't some of the colored be there also? I am always reading where you say how well the South- west sections meets the "intergration" problem. It looks as though the U.S. supreme court and the City officials push it down our throats. I was so disturbed to read where some observer said, that Mayor Allen was "hell-bent", to push this housing problem through. Why can't areas like Lenox Square and Buckhead have their pro-rata share of tnoese? Please see if a fair deal in matters concerning the things of which I have mentioned above, cannot be made fair and Christian to ali of us Sincerely yours, La A chl. Pe.

As @ resident of 7th Ward I wish to protest for myself and many other voters here in S. W, Atlante the changes taking place in our section of the city, I am referring to the transition neigh- borhoods around Sewell, Cascade Heights, Cascade Rd, and like places, also the new project for low-cost housing in the vicinity of Holy Family Hospital recently passed by the zoning board, Although I realize the problems regarding housing, I question why we in S, W, Atlanta are being so deeply involved and leaving other sections in Atlanta untouched, If the program is good for one part of the city why not all? iT We, your constituents, believe the housing should be city wide, We like this section and went to sce it developed but not to be used ap a guinea pig. We appeal to you, our alderman, to use your influence to give us some relief and move some of these plans to other sections of the eity.
