Text Any textual data included in the document (ROUGH DRAFT) Board of Aldermen City of Atlante City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Attn: Mr. Milton Farris Chairman, Finance Comittee Gentlemen: The Atlanta Civic Design Commission is charged with certain responsibilities in terms of guiding, recommending, and sponsoring physical isprovements in the development of the City of Atlanta, and particularly of its down-town area or “business district". | The Commission has, of recent months, arrived at the definite opinion that @ model of this down-towm area would be of great benefit, both to the Commission in its efforts to guide and influence proper development and/or re-development of thie area, end also to the City of Atlanta in persuading its citizenry that such guided development would be of lesting benefit to the community. The commission's reasons for this opinion are as follow: 1. Proposed future developments could be located on this model, and the surrounding environs of the sites could be viewed, considered, and (we hope) brought into harmony with the new structures. 2. A model is far more understandable, and far more interesting, to the average leyman than are any nuaber of “plans” on paper. 3- Such &@ model would do much to advence the foresight, in terms of national publicity, of the City of Atlenta, by illustrating ite vision, its initiative, and its belief in end aspirations for ite future. 4. In consequence of Paragraph 3. (sbove) more outside interest and more outeide capital and investment could well be genersted in our down-town srea. (continued ) Page #2 The Atlanta Civic Design Comission hes obtained ea tentative proposal from one model maker in Wilmington, Delaware, and is seeking a competitive proposal from another in San Francisco. At this early stage it becomes apparent that a model such as the Commission contemplates will cost between fifty and one hundred thousand dollers. The Commission realizes thet such funds are not presently availeble from the City of Atlanta, and does not so request. Rather, it feels thet the undertaking can be, and will be, financed from private funds, if it can be conceived, launched, and presented in a realistic manner. While final details are yet to be determined, the present thinking of the Commission is in terms of a model possessing the following cheracteristics: i. 3. Approximate boundaries to be North Avenue or Ponce de Leon Avenue on the north, Boulevard on the east, Georgia Avenue on the south, ond Spring Street (or possibly Hemphill Avenue) on the west. It is anticipated that this ares would necessarily be divided into three seperate sections. That the scale of this model (or models) be at fifty feet equals one inch (50" = 1"). That the model represent present-day (existing) conditions in the down-town area, since all future developments will be unknown for years to come. “Permanent” geatures, such es existing streets, parks, plazas, major structures, would be shown in some detail, so ap to be recognizable to the lay public. Lesser structures, presumably more temporary, would be shown merely a6 blocks, with no detail required. | ( continued ) Page #3 4, That the floor of the model consist of separate and removable units (perhaps by city blocks, perhaps by erbitrery division lines). Thus, where @ specific future development was proposed, a certein unit could be removed and @ new unit, of equal size and shepe and of identical scale, could be substituted therefor, thus showing the size, mass, and general development of the new improvement. | 5. hat all buildings on the model be atteched by temporary means (possibly e wooden dowel or peg on their bottoms) rather than glued down end hence impossible to remove and replece. Many other thoughts and improvements to our concept will doubtless develop if end as the Comnaission carries further its program. However, to initiate this progrem, the Coumisesion needs and requests of the Board of Aldermen a small ' amount of “seed money". We ask of the City of Atlanta the sum of one thousend dollara ($1,000.00) to be used primarily to crate, insure, and ehip from Wilmington and from San Francisco, one existing model from each of the two model makers presently submitting proposals, end thereafter to return same to their present owners. The presence of these two "semples” in Atlanta vould assist our efforts in the following ways; 1, Through the press and through viewing by the general public, these exhibits would generate mass enthusiasm for our undertaking. @. Actually seeing models similar in many respects to what is conten- plated locally would help to persuade possible private donors to the cost of on Atlanta model of its value and its utility. 3- Studying these models would assist the Design Comission in estab- lishing in deteil ite own progrem and its own requirements for its own model. { continued ) Page #h In sumary, gentlemen, of a long letter, and for reasons as cited sbove, the Atlenta Civic Design Commission requests of the Board of Aldernen the sun of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for the initiating and promotion of the project herein described.

The Chairman asked Mr. Bevins if his organization would be interested in supporting and possibly contributing to a model of Atlanta. While Mr. Bivens stated he could not answer for CAP, he does feel that a model would generate interest and serve a useful purpose, Mr. Bivens extended his thanks for being invited to the meeting, and stated he is looking forward to working with the Commission, and urged the members to pass comments .on to him, NEW BUSINESS: Upon description of the improvements made to the property at two locations in the City, which members feel should be commended, Messrs.

C!-fAIR MAN REPORT Chairma n Cooper read the following: (1) Letter d ate d February 23 to Mayor Allen re appointments to ACDC for 1967; (2) Letter dated February 23 to the Senate Ch a mber, State Ca pitol, endorsing work of th e Georgia Arts Commission, and urging reinstateme nt of funds in the 1967 budg et PRES EN TA TIONS TUCKER & HOOD Messrs. Tucker and Hood met with the Commission for furt her discussion of the proposed Associated Industries of Georgia office building at Washington and Hunter Streets , as presented by Mr. Clifford Clarke at the last ACDC meeting. �- 2 Before the diseussion began, the Chairman pointed out that ACDC has no legal jurisdiction, but that it reviews and suggests, and hopes for cooperation. Concerning the suggestions for certain changes in the street floor plan, whereby a more open effect would be created, and also the relativ~ height of the building, Messrs. Hood and Tucker feel th e se ideas would not be economically feasible, as much rentable floor space would ·be lost and they need all the revenue they can get. Mr. Perrin comment e d that since there is little space, then it demands the maximum utilization. He added he was very concerned, as a citizen in this community, with the fact that we arc finding space more and more precious, and are getting increasingly out of scale with huma n beings. Mr. Perrin concurs that we want Atlanta to make economic progr e ss, and that this is done by bu il ding things that are economically feasibl e . But, h e addedJ the Commission is charged wi th the re sponsibility to see that more than just an economic eff ort is made. Mr, Mul dawer expresse d -his personal opi ni on that as the Capitol is very important, he f eels it should be higher than all th e buildings around it, and that other buildings should humble themselves to it. He also feels that in this case the exterior material should be neutral to the gold on the Capitol dome, rather than harmonize with it. Chairman Cooper stated he is of the opinion that as buildings looked different heights from different angles, and that as the Capitol is several hundred feet from other buildings, he feels from an economical point of view, that the Commission should not hamper, even with suggestions. He feels this building is better than the average building, and is an asset to �• J - the City. Mr. Cooper added that the Commission would like to see the building haNionizc with surrolindirtgs as much as possible, but that we do not want to discourage to ~he extent that it won•t be constructed. He concluded that the Commissibn is inle~estcdt as are Messrs. Hood and Tucker, in doing the best job possible on this property. Ur. Tucker expressed his appreciation for the rrview, and stated he feels something has been accomplished. JONES Mr. Robert H. Jones, owner of th e Old South Motel on the South Expressway at Cleve land Avenu e , met with the Commission concerning the rezoning of a small strip of land in front of his motel and adjacent to the e xpressway. Ho objects to this rezoning, as a filling station is pro- posed to be built on that site. Mr. Jones stated that he has discovered that many of these small remnants of land adjacent to expressways are being petitioned for filling stations, and he hopes that some city group can study this problem and claim an overall approach to the entire thing while there is still time. He added that this particular petition will be brought up at the Zoning Committee meeting, which was being held that same day~ Mr. Muldawer c onc urs that this is a special problem that needs a general policy on what should happen to th e se strips, and how they can be enhanced. The following recommendation was approved and was presented to the Zoning Committee during its session: �• 4 • Subjects 11 Proposal for Rezonin~ of Forrest Hills Drive, Petition #Z-66-281-G s. ~ . It is recom.m.ended that aetion on the petition ·for rezoning of ~he above project be deferred pending furthe~ s.t.udy of this site and its partieular environment and other similar remnant parcels thr 0U,£thou t t.he Ci. ty • It _is further recommended that based on these studies, a general policy be established by the City Planning Department relati~e to strip development,.s with particular consid e ration given to thcil.' relationship to interstate highways. 11 ARCHITECTURAL REVIE WS: At the invit.ati~ of Mr. Muldaw~r, chairman of the Archit e ctural Revie w Committee, the follo wing architects were present to revie w with the Commission plans previously submitted , Archi t e et H.

Jones, owner of the Old South Motel on the South Expressway at Cleveland Avenue, met with the Commission concerning the ‘rezoning of a small strip of land in front of his motel and adjacent to the expressway, He objects to this rezoning, as a filling station is pro- posed to be built on that site, Mr. Jones stated that he has discovered that many of these small remnants of land adjacent to expressways are being petitioned for filling stations, and he hopes that some city group can study this problem and elaim an overall approach to the entire thing while there is still time. He added that this particular petition will be brought up at the Zoning Committee meeting, which was being held that same day. Mr. Muldawer concurs that this is a special problem that needs a general policy on what should happen to these strips, and how they can be enhanced, The following recommendation was approved and was presented to the Zoning Committee during its session: ele Subjeets; Proposal for Rezoning of Forrest Hills Drive, S.¥. Petition #Z-66-281-G "It is recommended that aetion on the petition for rezoning of the stove prajeet be deferred pending further study of this site and its particular environment and other similar remnant parcels throughout the City, It is further recommended that based on these studies, a general policy be established by the City Planning Department relative to strip developments with particular conside- ration given to their relationship to interstate highways."

Text Any textual data included in the document HISTORIC HOUSE MUSEUM CORPORATION Post Office Box 1 Atlanta Georgia 30301 March 4 1967 Honorable Ivan Allen Jr Mayor, City Hall Atlanta Ga Dear Mayor Allen: Thank you for your kind inquiry of January 24 regarding the property at 327 St Paul Avenue S E. This is the L P. G¥ant home. At the time it was built about 1850 it was near the center of 3,000 acres owned by COlonel Grant. This was approximately the same area which you propose to renew. We apologize for delaying reply, but we had hoped to have a pérsonal interview. Since this has not been convenient, we send this letter so that you can move ahead with any plans you have in connection with the renewalyproject. When the historians told you that this is an important house in Atlanta's history they may not have told you the most important event in the histpry of this landmark. This event was Margaret Mitchell and her book "Gone with the Wind". The full story of Margaret Mitchell's association with this house probably will not be told until I publish my "FOrbidden Blography of Margaret Mitchell" which cannot be published in the lifetime of Stephens Vitchell, the writer's brother. Tye true story depicts her brother and her husband as rascals. They conspired with others and seized control of her fortune.:She was frustrated in her own plans to restore the Grant House and make # it a public museum. If she had completed her planS Atlanta would have received a cherished mementog’ of the author provided by the writer herself, a true memorial. Oakland Cemetery, the site of Fulton Bag,and of course Gpant Park were once part of the land attached to the present house. The house is of brick and fieldstone, and structurally sound despite its appearance, Margaret Mytchell and I purchased the property 27 years ago to prevent it being converted into tenements. Our original restoration plans included purchase of 14 frame dwellings in the same block, razing them and using the entire block for gardens and parking area. The 14 houses are on small lots and probably could be bought for an average of gm $5,000 each. We placed title in Historic HOuse \WUseum Corporation which under its charter and under Georgia law is taxfree. Assistant City Attorney Charles Murphy, however, very stubbornly required us to pay taxes until we recently went into court and put the Tax Com-issioner under a restraining order, This attitude on the part of the City had prejudiced us against any negotiations with the city, but we will not hola this against you, We are delighted to learn that at least someone in the city has interest in preserving a landmark. We had thought the only interest the Ojty had was in the possible tax revenue. (more ) HISTORIC HOUSE MUSEUM CORPORATION Post Office Box 1 Atlanta Georgia 30301 (2) Our bre uct oe against the City also stems from Mayor Hartsfield's administration. Mr Hartsfield wanted to operate a Gfant House museum in connection with G,ant Park Cychorama. & big oak ip, front of the Grant House shows on the disfant horizon in the pai ing. HOwever, Mir Hartsfield disrupted neggffiations when he hinted that he would take the property by condemnation. Ve do not wish to show the interior of the house until we can remove our 10,000-volume library and other belongings. We nsed 12 months for moving, but we will start immediately. We recently refused an offer of $40,000 because the buyers intended to convert the hpuse into apartments, We always have held the property for regoOration and preservation. We have refused to rent it for fear tenants would damage it. The house occupies a lot 100 by 240 feet, extending through the block from St Paul to Orleans Street. T4e lot is about one third of the block in area. Ip you care to buy the property sight unseen and within the next 60 QeyS we would be willing to: 1. ACcept $40,000. 2. Throw in suitable antique furniture which we value at $20,000. 30 prep our claim for $1,600 back taxes and dismiss the present litigation. In our efforts to preserve the house we have passed up $75,000 in pOssible rents. Any funds which we derive from sardine property would be used for restoration and preservation of other landmarks. Tf you wish to go into other details, please write and we will call for appointment. We do not have a telephone.

At that time the Commission had rendered its recommendations to the Zoning Committee (See February 23 minutes; Page 4) The members present concurred that although the Commission is not specifically opposed to this parti cular proposed design, ACDC should go on record as holding a position whi ch it feels best for Atlanta, namely that it is oppos ed to small strip developments, especially where adjacent to highways. Mr~ Harris made the motion, which carried, that ACDC go on record as stating that a developme nt such as this would be detrimental to the City of Atlanta.
