CHIEF OF corsTRUCTION Chief of Construction “ ROBERT H. MORRISS Mr. Ross Arnold Attorney at Law 904 Standard Federal Savings Bldg. Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Arnold: With reference to your letter of September 26, 1967, the following comments are offered relative to the proposed development of approximately 45 acres of land on the north and south side of Bankhead Highway, N.W. at Maynard Drive. Mr, Francis B. Sheetz, Architect, has previously advised this office of a proposed development in this area and his plans for such development are presently under review from the standpoint of sewer availability. Mr. Sheetz advised us also that any development in this area was at least 12 to 18 months in the future and presented no immediate problem from the standpoint of requiring sanitary sewers. This office has advised Mr. Sheetz in the past that the proposed development in this area would be served with sanitary sewers at an appropriate time to permit development by some means to be developed in consultation with the developer. At this time, we anticipate that a small package ejector station. located somewhe~s near the westerly boundary of the proposed development will be required to lift sanitary sewer flows to an existing outfall sewer in Carroll Road. It is antici- pated further that this package ejector station could be eliminated within the next 2 years by the installation of a major sanitary trunk sewer running parallel with the Chattahoochee River at a point near this development and flowing to the Sandy Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. A firm schedule with regard to the latter line is impossible to set at this time. The Public Works Committee of the Atlanta Board of Aldermen is committed to provide sanitary sewer service to development where such development is considered hoth desirable and reasonable. This office considers your development at this lecaticn as both desirable and reasonable and will as necessary, work with the develoner in providing for sanitary sewer facilities. Such facilities, particularly where a sewape lift station is required, might well add to the proposed cost of deyelop- ment and this factor should be considered at this time. This office would expect the developer to,bear the cost of the installation of a lift station if such a station were necessary, and the associated force main, together with all sewers on the developer's site, as needed for the development.

MEMO Tom Shuttleworth ro: From: Peter Labrie and Tom Bane Subject: Rezoning of Northwest Bankhead site for 540 units of public housing We have examined various factors and issues concerning the rezon~~i of the Northwest Bankhead site for 540 units of 'turnkey' public housi~ 6 and have · come up with Che following findings and recom.nendations. Community Facilities and Services Needed According co our information on the NW area construction of the 540 units at the Bankhead site would probably generate the following needs in community facilities and services: ? (1) One (1) elementary school (2) One (1) neighborhood park (3) Public tran$portation improvements provi9ing efficient access to a library, connnunity park and shopping centers J (4) Book mobile to provide library service within the area (5) An increase in urgency to resolve high school problems of t he area. Construction of the public housing project would brin~ additional high school students into the area. This would probably increase the overcrowding at Archer or Fulton High Schools, but still not justify the construction of a new hi£h ? school, thereby further aggravating a deteriorating high scho~l situation. �- .. . ' -. . ·-- ' .. ' Prob l ems in Provision of Needed Facilities .1. nd Se rvic es One can also expect certain problems to be encountered in Qecting ? the needs listed above. 7 (1) These problems would probably include: Competition between the Il,:ml~l~ead an_d Browntown public housing sites for elementary school funds. as the following: next bond issue? 7 X both projects? (2) This brings up such que s t ions Is it too late to place the schools on t he Would there be enough funds for schools for If not, which project would come first? Reinforcement of already prevailing attitude among N'~ residents that their area is becoming a 'dumping ground' for public housing.

(3) Considerable difficulty in making necessary public transportatio.1 improvements. From the residents' point of view, efficieat bus service would be a dire need, but from the point of view of the bus line, which is privately owned, there would not be enough people in the project to make the improvements profita~le. Ad dition al Considerations In addition to the above problems there are some other highly si &nif- icant consideration which must be taken into account.

Of course, it would be • I ideal if they were involved in long-range planning so that they could anticipate problems rather than respond to them as they occur. But due primarily to limited funds, the agencies are more or less compelled to respond pragmatically to community problems. The value of this report then is that it tends to make up for the lack of long-range planning for various city services. Through its assessment of ... community needs and its recommendations, it can be of invaluable assistance to public officials by pointing out what needs to be done to meet existing problems and foreseeing future needs in the Browntown Area. RECOMMENDATIONS In order to eliminate existing deficiencies and bring about orderly growth in the N. W. Browntown Area, it is recommended: '· Schools (1) That a vertical addition to Archer High which would increase its capacity to 2000 students be placed on a bond issue by Spring, 1968. (2) That an elementary school site be included for any new housing project_s approaching 300 units or more in size. (3) That planning be started now for the construction of a new high school in the area as population increase d~mands it. ( 4) That plans be started now for the construction of a junior h i gh school on the already acqu i red site located west of James Jackson Parkway as popu lat ion incr e a s e demands it. Parks and Re cre at ion (1) That a ,. r equest f or a neighbo rhood park fo r Linco ln Homes be p l a ced on the next bond i ssue. (2) \That the City find a means of paying all of the .personne l costs needed t o maint ain recreational services in Perry Romes. I ~ , ..: �-25- ! ' (3) That plans be started for securing funds to build a community club house and fully equip Gun Club Park as a community park. (4) That plans be started for the development of a community park to the west of J _ames Jackson Parkway as population increase demands it. (5) That plans be started for the development of at least one more neighborhood park in addition to the two already proposed for the area. (6) That the Parks Department be prepared to expand and improve upon existing parks and recreational facilities as population increase demands it. Sewers (1) That· the Sandy Creek Improvements Project be :i,nitiated as soon as possible in order to bring about the major solution to most of the sewage and flooding problems in the area. (2) That until the Sandy Creek Improvements Project is initiated whatever temporary solutions are feasible be implemented to alleviate sewage conditions before large new housing projects are constructed. (3) That a plan of action be developed to identify and aid the owners those homes which are too poorly situated near Proctor Creek for anything economically feasible to be done about their sewage and flooding problems. of Other Facilities (1) That a public transportation study be made to specify problems faced by residents in terms of access to library, health, and employment facilities and to recommend feasible alternatives for resolving the situation. (2) That the City make a conce ntrated effort to upgrade street and tr·a ff ic facilities in the area, including the ere ction of traf f ic facilities at needed inte rsections, the construction of street lights in unlighted residential areas, and the general maintenance of clean and well paved .streets. (3) That efforts b e made to attract to nearby industrial area s firms that · would genera t e employme nt opportunities fo r local residents. (4) That t he Cit y requ i r e that deve lope rs of any publ ic housing p r oj ect s i n in the area hire local residents first in recruiting workers • . General (1) That l ocal community groups es t abl ish t he nec essary organizational machinery to direct t heir complaints and requests to the appropriate public agencies and to fo llow through and s_ee that their complaints and requests are acted upon. -· �-26(2) That the public service agencies act upon complaints and requests from local community groups and give the groups a ~lear explanation if they are unable to meet a requested service.

Text Any textual data included in the document a a ee ee -24- Another aspect of this situation is that various city and county service agencies very rarely plan projects 5-10 years ahead. Of course, it would be ideal if they were involved in long-range planning so that they could antici- pate problems rather than respond to them as they occur, But due primarily to limited funds, the agencies are more or less compelled to respond pragmatically to community problems. The value of this report then is that it tends to make up for the lack of long-range planning for various city services. Through its assessment of community needs and its recommendations, it can be of invaluable assistance to public officials by pointing out what needs to be done to meet existing prob- lems and foreseeing future needs in the Browntown Area, RECOMMENDATIONS In order to eliminate existing deficiencies and bring about orderly growth in the N. W. Browntown Area, it is recommended: Schools (1) That a vertical addition to Archer High which would increase its capacity to 2000 students be placed on a bond issue by Spring, 1968, (2) That an elementary school site be included for any new housing projects approaching 300 units or more in size, (3) That planning be started now for the construction of a new high school in the area as population increase demands it, (4) That plans be started now for the construction of a junior high school on the already acquired site located west of James Jackson Parkway as population increase demands it. ‘ Parks and Recreation (1) That a’ request for a neighborhood park for Lincoln Homes be placed on the next bond issue. (2) \That the City find a means of paying all of the personnel costs needed yj ‘to maintain recreational services in Perry Homes. fore (3) That plans be started for securing funds to build a community club house and fully equip Gun Club Park as a community park. (4) That plans be started for the development of a community park to the west of James Jackson Parkway as population increase demands it, (5) That plans be started for the development of at least one more neighbor- hood park in addition to the two already proposed for the area. (6) That the Parks Department be prepared to expand and improve upon existing parks and recreational facilities as population increase demands it. Sewers (1) That the Sandy Creek Improvements Project be initiated as soon as possible in order to bring about the major solution to most of the sewage and flooding problems in the area, (2) That until the Sandy Creek Improvements Project is initiated whatever temporary solutions are feasible be implemented to alleviate sewage conditions before large new housing projects are constructed, (3) That a plan of action be developed to identify and aid the owners of those homes which are too poorly situated near Proctor Creek for anything economically feasible to be done about their sewage and flooding problems, Other Facilities (1) That a public transportation study be made to specify problems faced by residents in terms of access to library, health, and employment facilities and to recommend feasible alternatives for resolving the situation. (2) That the City make a concentrated effort to upgrade street and traffic facilities in the area, including the erection of traffic facilities at needed intersections, the construction of street lights in unlighted residential areas, and the general maintenance of clean and well paved - streets. (3) That efforts be made to attract to nearby industrial areas firms that would generate employment opportunities for local residents. (4) That the City require that developers of any public housing projects in in the area hire local residents first in recruiting workers.

Gladin, Director Department of Planning City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia SUBJECT: Neighborhood Study for Northwest - Browntown Area Dear Collier: My staff and I have read with interest the preliminary study of community problems in the Northwest-Browntown Area of Atlanta. Havinq been asked to comment on the contents of this report, our observations regarding the problems, needs, and recommendations included in the report are set forth in this lette r. To beqin with, we would like to comment on the several references to Gun Club Park. Early in the report it is stated that Perry Home s has virtually no City recreati onal facilities and programs and v e ry limited access to those in other areas (Page 5). While the large Gun Club Park will serve a s a community park for the entirn study area, it was acq uire d primar ily to serve the r esidents of Pe1:ry Ho mes and i s located i mme d iately adj acent t o the Perry Homes Pr oject. Further, t he report make s several references t o Gun CJ. uh Park o e ing a n · inao.equ a t e and poorly d e v eloped park (l?a9es § , 6 ,10 & 11).

For financial reasons, we must develop all new parks in stages over a period of years. In most cases, the first phase of development includes few facilities above ground that can be seen. Most of the money goes into preparation of the site, utilities, sewers, and underground storm drainage during the first phase of construction. The first phase of constrµction of Gun Club began on April 11, 1966, and was concluded in February 1967. This phase cost $83,4!56.00 and included the following items: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Clearing and grubbing Rough grading - West- area Utilities - water - sewers - lighting Drive and parking Sidewalks Two tennis courts Playgrounds Fencing and retaining walls Restrooms Storage buildings Concrete benches Landscaping - trees and shrubs Finished grading and grassing. On Auqust 4, 1967, construction began on phase two of development, estimated to cost $52,206.00, which includes the following items: A. In the South portion of the park 1. The remaining portion of the parking lot 2. The addition of landscaping 3. The multi-use court area 4. The play hill and related play area 5. The erection of playground equipment and structures B. In the North portion of the park 1. The day ~amp ing areaB and related parking 2. The grading and establishment of an athletic field with two baseball diamonds and a football field 3. Entrance drive and parking Phase two development, mile scheduled for completion in December, 1967, is running behind schedule due to technical problems but should be completed in early 1968 . This department recently received a windfall of $350,000 . 00 from the S1:ate to purchase park land and for capital improvements in exist:Lng parks. On July 26, 1967, the Aldermanic Parks Committee appro,red the allocation of $75,000.00 (the largest single allocation ' to any one park) for further development of Gun Club Park. Our original plans were to attempt to secure matching funds from the Federc1l Government and, if successful, build a major s ize swimming poo l c1nd bathhouse estimated to cost $ 150 , 000 . 00 . In the meantime, howE~v·or, a study group has been organized to prepare a park and recr ec1tion survey and plan for the entire city with projected needs ,' 11 x,~nol '"f' - - f (Co nt'd) ( xi- Ao \'"' (.ll•Y ; ( xi-Qo 1 ' ( ' l)" V �Mr. Gladin - 3'. - October 30, 1967 according to population trends, etc. through 1985. This comprehensive study is a joint effort of the Community Council, E.O.A., the Parks and Recreation Department, and the Planning Department. Staff personnel £rem each of these agencies are devoting considerable time to this project, which should be completed in late December, 1967. We have asked this group to study the Northwest area first and attempt to determine from the area residents their preference regarding the swimming pool or a community building. It should be emphasized that we only have $75,000.00 allocated and our regular community buildings, which do not include a gym and would not be adequate for the population, have been costing approximately $85,000.00. Feder~l assi st ance .i s not ava i lable for thG construction of a recreation building as such. In order to qualify for Federal assistance, a building would have to be a complete neighborhood facil:Lty offering various services other than recreation. Further, it should be pointed out that the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation is the only Federal agency that approves grants for swimming pools; and, B.O.R. funds allocated to the State of Georgia being rather limite d, we have no assurance of Federal a~iisistance in the construction of a pool. We welcome and solicit comments from citizens• group:3 in the Northwest - Browntown area concerning their preferences. In reqard to Center Hill Park, only $20,000.00 has been allocated; and, ,:1gain, we shall attempt to secure matching Federal funds. Center Hill Park, being an older park, has no design plan. We intend to develop a master plan for this park, including the improvements you have mentioned in the report. There are references throughout the study of the lack of recreational services in the public housing projects, to the insufficient distr:lbution of recreation leadership, and to insufficient recreation leadei~ship due to poor development of recreat i on facilities in general (Pages 5,6,10,11 & 12). This Department has realized for many y ears the need for recreation leadership in public housing projects and we have never been able to secure funds to pay salaries of recreation leaders in these projects. However, during the summers of 1966 and 1967 we were able to provide recrea t ion l ea d ershi p through our contract with E.O.A . in Perry Homes, Bowen Homes, and Gun Club P ark. We have provided recre ation leadershi p at Scott School for appr o ximately th irty years. On a number of occasions, we have ch ecko d out other schools in the area only to find that none are des i gned for other agency use .

To begin with, we would like to comment on the several references to Gun Club Park. Early in the report it is stated that Perry Homes has virtually no City recreational facilities and programs and very limited access to those in other areas (Page 5). While the large Gun Club Park will serve as a community park for the entire study area, it was acquired primarily to serve the residents of Perry Homes and is located immediately adjacent to the Perry Homes Project. Further, the report makes several references to Gun C).ub Park being an inadequate and poorly developed park (Pages 5,6,10 & 11), The report states that what has been built shows little appreciation for the preferences of the local residents, that plans should be drawn up in such a manner that the local residents can have a voice in selecting the types of facilities to be erected in the park (Pages 6 & 12). Before construction began on any of the development of this park, a master plan, which inclucled nearly every facility you would find in a community park as well as a recreation building and swimming pool, was completed. The master plan for Gun Club was discussed on two occasions with Perry Homes citizens and other area residents. (This is the pro- cedure: followed prior to development of any new park.)

On a number of occasions, we have checked out other schools in the area only to find that none are designed for other agency use. Several years ago we attempted to- provide recreation leadership at Whitaker School only to be asked to leave when the principal at Whitaker School objected to our staff being there and even secured petitions from area residents demanding we witthdraw our program. In regard to poor facilities for recreation programs, a tremendous increase in appropriations to parks and recrea- tion would .be necessary before we could begin building and staffing needed recreation centers. The cost of staffing one recreation center properly would be a minimum of $17,290.00 annually. This study refers numerous times to lack of communication between citizens in the Northwest-—Browntown area and the Parks Department.

I talked with Dan Sweat this morning, and his best judgement is that we have a 50-50 chance of successful re-zgoning.

Hopefully the latter will be a reality by the time the Browntown project is completed two years from NOW o We are in the process of setting up a 9:30 A.

At 400 scale, more accurate representation and measurement are possible. Therefore, upon receipt by the Planning Department of the committee request for additional data, further detailed maps at 400 scale were ' prepared showing only significant vacant tracts (4 acres and larger), so that a more detailed listing of vacant land could be made.

Text Any textual data included in the document HOUSING RESOURCES COMMITTEE August 11, 1967 Memorandum To? Mayor Allen From: Malcolm Jones The action of the Zoning Committee yesterday in turning dow the re-zoning of a 51 acre tract off Browntown Rd. (Zoning Petition #2-67-12h-D) from Mel and R-5 to A-l for Turnkey development was very disappointing to those of us working in promotion of housing for low-income families. More serious however is the discouragement to owners, sponsors and developers of other tracts under consideration for inclusion in the low-income housing program for both Turnkey and 221 d@ (3) development. I recommend that you ask the Board of Aldermen to defer action on this petition, rather than to turn it dow, when it comes before them August 21. The advantage of such action would be to at least delay a turndom, which would prohibit future consideration of the site for 16 months, and would perhaps maintain a ray of hope in sponsors and developers for other low-income housing projects under consideration. This tract is one of only 5 thus far tentatively approved by HUD for Turnkey, after 9 months of effort. Of the remaining four, one 15 acre tract requires re~zoning and besides the owner has not yet agreeds another 20 acre tract is goned appropriately but the ower has not yet agreed to sell for this purpose. ee Pere n ream mere Se ee OF et See Saen AeD ts)« The Browntown Rd. site is now zoned predominately M-1. It had the favorable recommendation of the Planning Board and the formal unanimous support and endorsement of the Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee. If the City cannot get this site re-zoned for low-income housing, I see little prospect for favorable action on others. The amount of vacant land in the City currently zoned A-1 is just not adequate (as can be confirmed by various sponsors and developers) to meet the needs o program (see attached report). The 802 acres of vacant land indicated as zoned  land is not all available however, as some of it is too expensive; are not willing to sell for low-income housings some sites are too small to be profitable; some, although otherwise suitable, will not meet HUD's policy because of location in racially identifiable areas; and other reasonse Therefdrecwe must depend to a large extent on ability to re-zone qualified sites to meet the requirements. If that cannot be done (we have already had several failures), solution of the problem becomes extremely difficult if not impossible under current practice. We may thus have to resort to other procedures Respectively, Malcolm D, Jones Supervisor of Inspection Services MDJ/s11 ect Director of Governmental Liaison Chairman, Housing Resources Comittee Enel: HRC Memorandum dated August 9, 1967  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
