Please be advised that the Application-Project Mortgage Insurance (FHA Form 2013) with preliminary plans and sp e cifications were submitted to the Atla nta Insuring Offi c e of the Fed era l Housing Ad ministration this morning, June 3, 19 68. The Federal Housing Administration has e x pressed its eagernes s and willingness to e x p e dite th e processing of this case in order to provide th is ne e ded housing at the earliest possible date . A considera ble amount of time and effort has been e x p e nded by the Ebe ne zer Ba ptist Church and its repres e ntative s to insure the deve lopm e nt of a resid e ntia l community which e mbodies the most ad vance d thinking in multifa mily liv i n g. Our deve lopment plan provides for a high ris e buildin g con s isting of twe l v e stories, pre s enting a pa norama vi e w of downtow n Atl a n ta , th e expre ss ways and the spaciou s spl e ndor of the City . This i s the fir s t atte mpt to de velop a high ri se cons tru c tion under Sectio n 2 2l(d) (3) of the Na tiona l Housing Ac t i n th e City of Atlan ta .

All low rise units are town houses and garden type, two -s tory wa l k-up apartments, w i th amp l e �1- • Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. - 2 - play areas and enclosed patios. A pedestrian walkway, free of vehicle traffic, allows for safe access throughout the development. A community shopping center consisting of approximately 7,000 square feet form an integral part of this development concept which will provide the daily essentials for residents and the general community. In addition, an office building complex of approximately 3200 square feet, is incorporated in this community center, providing space for professional offices and convenient type stores and shops. A day nursery designed to accommodate preschool-age children of working mothers has been given special study and the result of this intensive investigation regarding the special needs of these children are reflected in our day-care center. A coin-operated laundry facility is also provided. Our development plan utilizes open spaces and green belts in order to provide a character of individuality and sense of pride and appreciation. The total 19 3 unit complex will be served by central air conditioning and heating. We feel that Martin Luther King, Jr. , Village will be an exciting and important addition to the City of Atlanta and a major step forward in the development of residential communities in urban areas. ,.,~~ .,< Your continued interest and coopera tion is greatly apprecialed. l /ery truG ~ 1 )'r 2 ( . cc: Martin Luth e r King, Sr. Mr. Cary S.

Hou ing Authority �CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION June 10, 1968 I I I I l !I ! Mr. Howard Openshaw Director of Redevelopment Atlanta Housing Authority 824 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Openshaw: This is with reference to your letter of June 4, 1968 outlining several objections to our plans for the development of Parcels E-la and B-2. As I understand it, these objections represent the position both of your office and that of the City Planning Commission. I should like to take exception, first, to the second paragraph of your letter, which states in part that, "While certain elements of the original plan have been retained .... other features on which the development competition award was made have been eliminated, reducing the original extraordinary site plan proposal to the average run-of-the-mill development." That statement is unjustified as to the facts, and, if it is an expression of aesthetic judgement, not one with which we agree or respect. I I I Second, I should like to point out that your action in advising the Federal Housing Administration that our plans were not acceptable has resulted in their refusal t6 issue ready-to-go commitments. This may mean the loss, to . us and . to the City of Atlanta, of the 22l(d)(3) reservations for this project and, if 22l(d)(3) money is, as we are advised, exhausted, it may be some time before new reservations are obtained if we lose these. A far more advisable course for you to have followed (in terms of safeguarding the 22l(d)(3) reservations for this project) would have been to permit FHA to issue their commitments and in the period preceeding initial mortgage closing, work with us to achieve that which you feel is necessary. Your control of our going and our coming is so complete in every respect that with or without the commitment we cannot proceed into construction until you SUITE 2352 • NATIONAL BANK OF GEORGIA BUILDING • ATLANTA GEORGIA 30303 • TEL: 404/688-1415 -. ,'··. ~ i �• ! CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 I .I .i ,I Page - 2 - .I I ·I I are completely satisfied with our work. You chose, however, to pursue a course which places the project's development in . jeopardy .... a needless and disheartening risk and delay. i J Third, I should like to point out that we are no less interested than are you or any other City Agency concerned with this project, · in producing as superior a development as possible.· Our competition submission was not a pipe dream nor did we approach it on the basis of winning a beauty contest thinking to make it work later, as is often the case. I would imagine that we will be with this project long after most of the City officials concerned with it now have left the scene and its success, both as an investment and in the achievement of our social objectives, depends entirely upon its desirability to potential tenants. It was recognized publicly, by you and by us during the course of the competition, that detailed planning, architecture and fiscal analysis would require certain changes, but that the major concepts presented would be preserved. We have ! acted in . good faith in pursuing our work and those changes which I have been made, in practically every single, instance of concern to you, have related to four major factors: ' A. The severe cost restrictions governing the 22l(d)(3) program which have become even more severe over this past year by virtue of the money market and tremendous increases in construction costs. B. Detailed cost analysis of certain of our original development proposals (such as rental town housing in Parcel E-la and elements of site development) have proved to be economically infeasible in terms of their effect upon rentals. C. The need to provide the full number of units originally proposed when certain areas, upon detailed site planning, proved to be economically infeasible for development or, proved to contain conditions of which we were not advised (such as County ownership of certain lands within the proje c t area) • I I ' ' i .. ..... --- ....... . __ .... . -· - ~-::--: �CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 I .i Page - 3 - I D. The rentals and carrying charges which the housing market with which we are concerned can absorb. Lastly, _ I should like to point out that most of those elements of our work which you now question ·; have been known to your office and to the City Planning Commission for several months. It is baffling, to say the least, that at this late and critical date you choose to present your comments. Now, as to the substance of your letter, I shouH like to make the following brief observations which will be enforced by oral argument and graphic material presented at our meeting on June 11, 1968. I • I · J I As to your item (a), we do not agree that the geometric arrangement of buildings does not provide interesting and varied pedestrian spaces. The changes we have made in Parcel E-la with regard to buildings placement are not major. If you are making an aesthetic judgement, we agree that the original concept is better, but not that our revision does it great violence. Additionally, some study of our building placement would have indicated the extreme topographic conditions which account for many of our shifts in building _.location, conditions we originally felt able to resolve, but in the face of economics, could not. In this regard, I sh9uld point out that retaining walls were the first to go when the dollar situation became extreme and this fact mandated a shift in building, parking and driveway location . .I I! f I !I !: • I I J !I I As to your item (b), rental townhouses in Parcel E-la were ' eliminated solely for reasons of economy and FHA guidance here _: was quite convincing. They proved too costly to build and could not be absorbed by the rental market with which we are concerned . Eliminating townhouses eliminated the structured and disciplined flow of pedestrian traffic, but that function can be provided by strong and adequately designed pedestr i an pathways . - .. ., ·r : . ~ ·! �CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 Page - 4 i I II The original competition drawing did in fact show townhouses step up or down the grades. It was later recommended by your office and concurred in by us, that the B-2 site be converted to all co-op townhouses which more fully and economically served the market for townhouse occupancy. In addition, FHA requirements regarding percentage of grade around the E-la townhouses parking ·lots which served these steep townhouse had severe cost implications. Also, the cost of producing such a steep townhouse proved to be so high as to approach or exceed the maximum rentals under the 22l(d)(3) program as follows: • I i ·. i I I I i ,. I I I i: Tr:ee of Unit 2BR 3BR 2BR basement 3BR basement 4BR basement I Monthly Rent On E-1 Site $ 98 112 105 119 126 Monthly Charge On B-2 (co-o:e site) $ 81 98 96 109 119 • Note: Includes all ~tilities As to your item (c), we agree that the community plaza . was a major and highly desirable element of our original proposal. We eliminated it and distributed the functions elsewhere throughout the project in that a part of Parcel E-lb and all of E-lc cannot now be developed for housing due to certain facts not brought to our attention during the competition. We, therefore, sought to recapture some of the lost units by placing them on the community plaza site. However, we are quite willing to eliminate that housing and to reinstate the original community plaza proposal, but you must recognize that this will mean a net loss of approximately 40 dwelling units. I' !I I  ! Additionally, it should be noted here that the new centrally located community recreation area was not only approved by the Planning Commission and the full Board of Aldermen in our Community Unit Plan submission, but was also approved by the Atlanta Housing Authority. Similarily, the \ . ~r\ --- , �CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 I I . J Page - 5 I ! i l new church site location plan was forwarded to both the Housing Authority and Collier Gladdin's office on April 22, 1968 and no objection was raised at that time. As to your item (d), changes in relationship of peripheral drives and parking areas to the housing units they serve, were made necessary by detailed studies which could not have been performed during the competition and by other changes such as building location and elimination of retaining walls. However, not by any stretch of the imagination can we understand the charge that the basic concept and relationship of driveways and parking to housing units served, has been violated. As to the statement that a massive "sea of asphalt" parking area, remote from housing units is created, we point out that this is not the fact except perhaps in one instance. Even though the number of parking spaces has been increased to serve a larger number of housing units the parking solution in our proposal is superior to the original in many instances and in fact results in eliminating seas-of-parking. The statment that ,· parking areas are remote from housing units is absolutely unfounded. Except in two instances they are all in the same relationship as originally proposed and improved in many instances -- at FHA insistence. I ' As to your item (e), the concept of uninterrupted pedestrian streets is maintained. As a matter of fact, it is improved in both -Parcels E-la and B-2. Site plans showing the use of this particular street has been in jour possession since March. As a matter of fact, its utilization resulted as much from your suggestion that it be used and dedicated to the City so that approximately $30,000 in site improvement credits would accrue to the City, as it did from our desire to eliminate the cost of constructing additional roadway. 'I 'l , · ' '. ', As to your item (f), the pedestrian and vehicular traffic between Parcels B-2 and E- la will provide for controlled street crossing as originally proposed. I \ ... .. . . -·--.----\ ..... .,. .! . I ! ·- . • . •" .. ,.-. I ' . �~ . CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 Page - 6 I, I As to your i _tem (g) , we have rethought the placement of church sites within building clusters in view of our meetings with church groups which established that the churches will attract members both from within and without the project area. · ·To place churches within the clustered areas would be to introduce large amounts of parking which we consider undesirable. As to your item (h), ·the geometric arrangement of Parcel B-2 not only does relate to topography, it is governed by topography. We do propose a cluster arrangement of buildings with much of the site open and existing ttees preserved. The statement that the entire site is covered with buildings and parking areas is completely unsupported by the facts and rather contentious. Coverage is approximately 20% for all buildings, roads and parking areas. The original plan proposed 331 dwelling units and 450 parking spaces. The present one proposes 250 dwelling units and 375 parking spaces -on the same acreage. I Very truly yours l.,;11~,A.,Nt}l,I143.215.248.55 I I DLR/sbs I ' cc : Mr .

Although its purpose is new, it is a traditio nal form of governm ~nt institution establishecl to fin a nce public and quasi-public facilities. •· The rapid increase in the number of public benefi t corporations in urban ized sta tes like New York. during the past twenty years has parall eled the n eecl for increased capital construction ::;.t costs exceecling liniitations ·on public debt. Simila rly, New York City.'s fi scal lim itations, toge ther with its need for school constru ction, generatecl th e crea tion of_the Educational Construction Fund. The concept was clevelopecl by Lloyd K. Garrison while h e was President of the Boarc.!_ of Education. H e saw the public benefit corporation as an appropriate vehicle to serve both the City a nd th e school system. " ' ith a gra nt from the Tacon ic Foundation to underwrite- research and bill dra fting, he initiated th e action that subsequentl y " ·on the endorsement· of Governor R ockefeller a nd . J\fayor Lindsay and th e support of the L egislature during the 1966 session. The Fune! is h eadecl by the President of th<.: Board of Edu cation wl10 is designa ted by hJ\v :ts Chairman.

Fonr tru stees, appoin ted by the i\fayo r, serve term s se t in itia ll y at two, three, four or five yea rs. T h eir su ccessors will all ~erve for fi ve years. The present trustees bring to the d irecti on of the Fund's development and fin ance operillions a combi ned background in a ll areas essenti al to th e success of this n ew venture -education, housing, labor, commerce an d finance. 2 �l The ·Fund is expected to proYid e a substantial portion of the City's school .construction program from now on. .

The two portions of the combinecl-occupancy building will be d es ig ned and constructed as a singl e proj ect. The Fund's acti viti es generally start with a site designated by th e Board of Education for a ne\\· school. Th ey inclucle dcYeloping appropri a te con cepts for combined me of these sites, promoting deYeloper interest in undertaking construction, ancl coordinating with th e Board of Education durin g the desig n and cons~ruction of the school. Local School Boards will b e consul tccl, and all combined-occupancy structures will be appro\'ed b)' th e Board of Education as well as by th e Funcl, thu s assuring th a t the program directly serves the school system. The Fund hopes to a tt ra ct as spo nsors qu alifi ed person s and orga niza tion s interested in participa tin g m th e program , including community and other non-profit g roups. School sites already mrn ecl or b eing acquired by the City will be publicly adverti sed by the Fund if suitable for th e developm ent of combin ed-o ccupancy structures. Proposal s for th ese sites will b e invited from potenti a l sponsors and devel op ers. In addition to info'rm a ti o n describing th e site, th e Board of Education's r equirem ents for each sch ool will be made availabl e for the preparation of a proposal. Evalu a ti o n of the p ro p os al s will b e b ased on several criteri a, including th e comp a tibility of th e non-sch oo l use, th r in come t 0 h e derived th erefro m, and th e finan cial ability and experi ence of th e appli ca nts.

The developer will h ave full responsibility for th e construction of th e school as well as th e non-school_ portion of th e building. Although the three ma3or subcontrac tors (plumbing; heating, ventilating an cl a ir conditioning; electric work) will be selec ted by p ubli c bidding, as required by law, instead of by the inform al negot iation usual in priv':.t~ ,rnrk, th e winning bidders will be made responsible to th e genera l contractor or d eveloper.

A call on State aid would be mad e only in th e improbable event th at the capi tal reserve fund shoul d at some time be insuflicicn t to meet debt service and the · City did not rcpl enisl1 it to the amount requi red. H owever, th e provis:on assures at all tim es th e so lvency _o f the Fund and th e security of its bonds. D ebt service on the Fund's notes and bonds will be paid from income. There w ill b e three sources: I. Paymen ts for th e sale or lease of air rights The Fund will rece iYc fro m t!1e devel oper an annu al payment, based on fair m arke t value, for th e sale or lease of ~he ai r rights over the s::hool. 2.

R en(a ls for th e sch oo ls This paym ent is expected to be nominal for th e majori ty of schools bui lt 111 combined-occupancy stru ct ures. vVhcnever th e income from th e di sposition o f air rights an cl payincnts equi valent to real es tate taxes are sufficien t to coyer d eb t service an d the Fund·s admin istra tive costs, th ere will be no need for additional incom e. School renta ls will be req uired onl y for th ose structu res tha t cannot mate suffi cient p aym ents to cover debt servi ce, such as tax-exempt public faci li ti es and certa in kinds of non-profit housing. · The bonds to be issu ed by the Fund arc lim ited to 40-ycar maturities, and the notes to 5-ycar m a tu riti es. Th ey a re lega l investm ents for all organi za ti o ns authorized to buy th e Sta te's bond s or other obliga tions, such as public bodies, trust and msura n c;e compan ie., , b a nks and fiduciari es. 5 �.l..- ... i· The major ponion of the program. is expected to provide new schools at liule or no cost to the City. i\Jost residential and commercial structures are SI a year. Some . will even yield a surplus, which can be used for the construction of additional expected to yield enough income to p ermit_ a school rental of schools or turn ::"cl over to the City. Some combined-occupa ncy structures ,rill probably be built to meet the City's social needs clc'spite their inab ility to produce enoi.1gh income to pay all 0£ the debt service - those providing rnodcrat;-rent housing, for example. In these instances, school rentals will be no high er than the annual cost of a comparable new school. The Fund h as been designed for considerable fl exibility in its operations. Because a wide variety 0£ commel-cial, public, social and residential uses can be accommod a ted in combined-occupancy buildings, many sections of the City offer appropria te si tes. Combined use is adaptable to small structures thc1.t can blend into existing, cohesive communities. Jt is also applicable on a la rge scale to major redevelopm ent areas, including urban renewal and l\Iodel Cities projects. It can b ecome on e of tne City's imponant plann ing tools during the n ext d ecade to create econom ic, social :rnd pl:ys:ca l renewd while carrying out its prime pu rpose of creating additional sch ools. 6 �Alfred A.

This program is. designed as an experimental project to develop new methods of pi"oviding low cost housing. The program itself is divided into two phases -- the first taking five weeks during which time the experimental program must be developed with respect to specific cities with recommendations submitted to HUD by June 15, 1968. The second phase calls for implementation of the experimental program with construction commencing on individual . _ . _ _ ___proje_c;~s q ~ aLch J .,__19.69~pp:r:.oaches .whi.ch-are .developed in these experimental projects will provide new building products, components, systems or total buildings which will meet the needs of the city residents · at a low cost. It ·is obvious that successful approaches have an opportun ity of be i ng implemented widely in model cities and throughout the country. In fact, the program is directly related to Presid ent Johnson' s objective of 6,000, 000 new or rehabilitated federally as siste d h ousing units for lower income farnilies. The approach to this project is t o analyze the various cities to determine their needs and their ability t o h ost different social and technical experin~e ntal approaches to housing. Simultaneously; we are looking to industry for new dev elopments in terms of produ c ts or procedures which will meet the needs of people fo r low cost hous·ing quickely. We are, therefore, soliciting comp anies such as yours throughout the country to determine whether or not there are appropri3.te building systems , materials and construction ideilS which you would like to have us consid er for use in the individual e x periments.

F:lanigen . Mr. G. Everett Millican Mr. Richard C. Freeman Mr. Rodney M. Cook Urgently request your support on the Jonesboro Road site and East Lake Golf Course No. 2 site as a vital part of the city's housing program. You will recall that at the public hearing on East Lake No. 2 there was no dpposition expressed except in the form of two persons who asked questions regarding public facilities. The developer has agreed to dedicate a 25 acre park on the site. Since the cosi of entire tract for park use would run 1.8 million this approach appears unrealistic and the present proposal will serve to preserve considerable open land in addition to the park. Our Commit-tee has voted unanimously to support these two projects since they have both been judged in accordance with the city's new land use plan. I repeat we need your help and are relying on your favorable action. Cecil A.

Please be advised that the Application-Project Mortgage Insurance (FHA Form 2013) with preliminary plans and sp e cifications were submitted to the Atla nta Insuring Offi c e of the Fed era l Housing Ad ministration this morning, June 3, 19 68. The Federal Housing Administration has e x pressed its eagernes s and willingness to e x p e dite th e processing of this case in order to provide th is ne e ded housing at the earliest possible date . A considera ble amount of time and effort has been e x p e nded by the Ebe ne zer Ba ptist Church and its repres e ntative s to insure the deve lopm e nt of a resid e ntia l community which e mbodies the most ad vance d thinking in multifa mily liv i n g.

A pedestrian walkway, free of vehicle traffic, allows for safe access throughout the development. A community shopping center consisting of approximately 7,000 square feet form an integral part of this development concept which will provide the daily essentials for residents and the general community. In addition, an office building complex of approximately 3200 square feet, is incorporated in this community center, providing space for professional offices and convenient type stores and shops. A day nursery designed to accommodate preschool-age children of working mothers has been given special study and the result of this intensive investigation regarding the special needs of these children are reflected in our day-care center. A coin-operated laundry facility is also provided. Our development plan utilizes open spaces and green belts in order to provide a character of individuality and sense of pride and appreciation. The total 19 3 unit complex will be served by central air conditioning and heating.

Hou ing Authority �CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION June 10, 1968 I I I I l !I ! Mr. Howard Openshaw Director of Redevelopment Atlanta Housing Authority 824 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Openshaw: This is with reference to your letter of June 4, 1968 outlining several objections to our plans for the development of Parcels E-la and B-2. As I understand it, these objections represent the position both of your office and that of the City Planning Commission. I should like to take exception, first, to the second paragraph of your letter, which states in part that, "While certain elements of the original plan have been retained .... other features on which the development competition award was made have been eliminated, reducing the original extraordinary site plan proposal to the average run-of-the-mill development." That statement is unjustified as to the facts, and, if it is an expression of aesthetic judgement, not one with which we agree or respect. I I I Second, I should like to point out that your action in advising the Federal Housing Administration that our plans were not acceptable has resulted in their refusal t6 issue ready-to-go commitments. This may mean the loss, to . us and . to the City of Atlanta, of the 22l(d)(3) reservations for this project and, if 22l(d)(3) money is, as we are advised, exhausted, it may be some time before new reservations are obtained if we lose these. A far more advisable course for you to have followed (in terms of safeguarding the 22l(d)(3) reservations for this project) would have been to permit FHA to issue their commitments and in the period preceeding initial mortgage closing, work with us to achieve that which you feel is necessary. Your control of our going and our coming is so complete in every respect that with or without the commitment we cannot proceed into construction until you SUITE 2352 • NATIONAL BANK OF GEORGIA BUILDING • ATLANTA GEORGIA 30303 • TEL: 404/688-1415 -. ,'··. ~ i �• ! CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 I .I .i ,I Page - 2 - .I I ·I I are completely satisfied with our work. You chose, however, to pursue a course which places the project's development in . jeopardy .... a needless and disheartening risk and delay. i J Third, I should like to point out that we are no less interested than are you or any other City Agency concerned with this project, · in producing as superior a development as possible.· Our competition submission was not a pipe dream nor did we approach it on the basis of winning a beauty contest thinking to make it work later, as is often the case. I would imagine that we will be with this project long after most of the City officials concerned with it now have left the scene and its success, both as an investment and in the achievement of our social objectives, depends entirely upon its desirability to potential tenants. It was recognized publicly, by you and by us during the course of the competition, that detailed planning, architecture and fiscal analysis would require certain changes, but that the major concepts presented would be preserved. We have ! acted in . good faith in pursuing our work and those changes which I have been made, in practically every single, instance of concern to you, have related to four major factors: ' A. The severe cost restrictions governing the 22l(d)(3) program which have become even more severe over this past year by virtue of the money market and tremendous increases in construction costs. B. Detailed cost analysis of certain of our original development proposals (such as rental town housing in Parcel E-la and elements of site development) have proved to be economically infeasible in terms of their effect upon rentals. C. The need to provide the full number of units originally proposed when certain areas, upon detailed site planning, proved to be economically infeasible for development or, proved to contain conditions of which we were not advised (such as County ownership of certain lands within the proje c t area) • I I ' ' i .. ..... --- ....... . __ .... . -· - ~-::--: �CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 I .i Page - 3 - I D. The rentals and carrying charges which the housing market with which we are concerned can absorb. Lastly, _ I should like to point out that most of those elements of our work which you now question ·; have been known to your office and to the City Planning Commission for several months. It is baffling, to say the least, that at this late and critical date you choose to present your comments. Now, as to the substance of your letter, I shouH like to make the following brief observations which will be enforced by oral argument and graphic material presented at our meeting on June 11, 1968. I • I · J I As to your item (a), we do not agree that the geometric arrangement of buildings does not provide interesting and varied pedestrian spaces. The changes we have made in Parcel E-la with regard to buildings placement are not major. If you are making an aesthetic judgement, we agree that the original concept is better, but not that our revision does it great violence. Additionally, some study of our building placement would have indicated the extreme topographic conditions which account for many of our shifts in building _.location, conditions we originally felt able to resolve, but in the face of economics, could not. In this regard, I sh9uld point out that retaining walls were the first to go when the dollar situation became extreme and this fact mandated a shift in building, parking and driveway location . .I I! f I !I !: • I I J !I I As to your item (b), rental townhouses in Parcel E-la were ' eliminated solely for reasons of economy and FHA guidance here _: was quite convincing. They proved too costly to build and could not be absorbed by the rental market with which we are concerned . Eliminating townhouses eliminated the structured and disciplined flow of pedestrian traffic, but that function can be provided by strong and adequately designed pedestr i an pathways . - .. ., ·r : . ~ ·! �CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 Page - 4 i I II The original competition drawing did in fact show townhouses step up or down the grades. It was later recommended by your office and concurred in by us, that the B-2 site be converted to all co-op townhouses which more fully and economically served the market for townhouse occupancy. In addition, FHA requirements regarding percentage of grade around the E-la townhouses parking ·lots which served these steep townhouse had severe cost implications. Also, the cost of producing such a steep townhouse proved to be so high as to approach or exceed the maximum rentals under the 22l(d)(3) program as follows: • I i ·. i I I I i ,. I I I i: Tr:ee of Unit 2BR 3BR 2BR basement 3BR basement 4BR basement I Monthly Rent On E-1 Site $ 98 112 105 119 126 Monthly Charge On B-2 (co-o:e site) $ 81 98 96 109 119 • Note: Includes all ~tilities As to your item (c), we agree that the community plaza . was a major and highly desirable element of our original proposal. We eliminated it and distributed the functions elsewhere throughout the project in that a part of Parcel E-lb and all of E-lc cannot now be developed for housing due to certain facts not brought to our attention during the competition. We, therefore, sought to recapture some of the lost units by placing them on the community plaza site. However, we are quite willing to eliminate that housing and to reinstate the original community plaza proposal, but you must recognize that this will mean a net loss of approximately 40 dwelling units. I' !I I  ! Additionally, it should be noted here that the new centrally located community recreation area was not only approved by the Planning Commission and the full Board of Aldermen in our Community Unit Plan submission, but was also approved by the Atlanta Housing Authority. Similarily, the \ . ~r\ --- , �CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 I I . J Page - 5 I ! i l new church site location plan was forwarded to both the Housing Authority and Collier Gladdin's office on April 22, 1968 and no objection was raised at that time. As to your item (d), changes in relationship of peripheral drives and parking areas to the housing units they serve, were made necessary by detailed studies which could not have been performed during the competition and by other changes such as building location and elimination of retaining walls. However, not by any stretch of the imagination can we understand the charge that the basic concept and relationship of driveways and parking to housing units served, has been violated. As to the statement that a massive "sea of asphalt" parking area, remote from housing units is created, we point out that this is not the fact except perhaps in one instance. Even though the number of parking spaces has been increased to serve a larger number of housing units the parking solution in our proposal is superior to the original in many instances and in fact results in eliminating seas-of-parking. The statment that ,· parking areas are remote from housing units is absolutely unfounded. Except in two instances they are all in the same relationship as originally proposed and improved in many instances -- at FHA insistence. I ' As to your item (e), the concept of uninterrupted pedestrian streets is maintained. As a matter of fact, it is improved in both -Parcels E-la and B-2. Site plans showing the use of this particular street has been in jour possession since March. As a matter of fact, its utilization resulted as much from your suggestion that it be used and dedicated to the City so that approximately $30,000 in site improvement credits would accrue to the City, as it did from our desire to eliminate the cost of constructing additional roadway. 'I 'l , · ' '. ', As to your item (f), the pedestrian and vehicular traffic between Parcels B-2 and E- la will provide for controlled street crossing as originally proposed. I \ ... .. . . -·--.----\ ..... .,. .! . I ! ·- . • . •" .. ,.-. I ' . �~ . CEREX ATLANTA CORPORATION Mr. Howard Openshaw June 10, 1968 Page - 6 I, I As to your i _tem (g) , we have rethought the placement of church sites within building clusters in view of our meetings with church groups which established that the churches will attract members both from within and without the project area. · ·To place churches within the clustered areas would be to introduce large amounts of parking which we consider undesirable. As to your item (h), ·the geometric arrangement of Parcel B-2 not only does relate to topography, it is governed by topography. We do propose a cluster arrangement of buildings with much of the site open and existing ttees preserved. The statement that the entire site is covered with buildings and parking areas is completely unsupported by the facts and rather contentious. Coverage is approximately 20% for all buildings, roads and parking areas. The original plan proposed 331 dwelling units and 450 parking spaces. The present one proposes 250 dwelling units and 375 parking spaces -on the same acreage. I Very truly yours l.,;11~,A.,Nt}l,I143.215.248.55 I I DLR/sbs I ' cc : Mr .

Although its purpose is new, it is a traditio nal form of governm ~nt institution establishecl to fin a nce public and quasi-public facilities. •· The rapid increase in the number of public benefi t corporations in urban ized sta tes like New York. during the past twenty years has parall eled the n eecl for increased capital construction ::;.t costs exceecling liniitations ·on public debt. Simila rly, New York City.'s fi scal lim itations, toge ther with its need for school constru ction, generatecl th e crea tion of_the Educational Construction Fund. The concept was clevelopecl by Lloyd K. Garrison while h e was President of the Boarc.!_ of Education. H e saw the public benefit corporation as an appropriate vehicle to serve both the City a nd th e school system. " ' ith a gra nt from the Tacon ic Foundation to underwrite- research and bill dra fting, he initiated th e action that subsequentl y " ·on the endorsement· of Governor R ockefeller a nd .

The present trustees bring to the d irecti on of the Fund's development and fin ance operillions a combi ned background in a ll areas essenti al to th e success of this n ew venture -education, housing, labor, commerce an d finance. 2 �l The ·Fund is expected to proYid e a substantial portion of the City's school .construction program from now on. .

The two portions of the combinecl-occupancy building will be d es ig ned and constructed as a singl e proj ect. The Fund's acti viti es generally start with a site designated by th e Board of Education for a ne\\· school. Th ey inclucle dcYeloping appropri a te con cepts for combined me of these sites, promoting deYeloper interest in undertaking construction, ancl coordinating with th e Board of Education durin g the desig n and cons~ruction of the school. Local School Boards will b e consul tccl, and all combined-occupancy structures will be appro\'ed b)' th e Board of Education as well as by th e Funcl, thu s assuring th a t the program directly serves the school system. The Fund hopes to a tt ra ct as spo nsors qu alifi ed person s and orga niza tion s interested in participa tin g m th e program , including community and other non-profit g roups. School sites already mrn ecl or b eing acquired by the City will be publicly adverti sed by the Fund if suitable for th e developm ent of combin ed-o ccupancy structures. Proposal s for th ese sites will b e invited from potenti a l sponsors and devel op ers. In addition to info'rm a ti o n describing th e site, th e Board of Education's r equirem ents for each sch ool will be made availabl e for the preparation of a proposal. Evalu a ti o n of the p ro p os al s will b e b ased on several criteri a, including th e comp a tibility of th e non-sch oo l use, th r in come t 0 h e derived th erefro m, and th e finan cial ability and experi ence of th e appli ca nts.

The developer will h ave full responsibility for th e construction of th e school as well as th e non-school_ portion of th e building. Although the three ma3or subcontrac tors (plumbing; heating, ventilating an cl a ir conditioning; electric work) will be selec ted by p ubli c bidding, as required by law, instead of by the inform al negot iation usual in priv':.t~ ,rnrk, th e winning bidders will be made responsible to th e genera l contractor or d eveloper.

H owever, th e provis:on assures at all tim es th e so lvency _o f the Fund and th e security of its bonds. D ebt service on the Fund's notes and bonds will be paid from income.

Some . will even yield a surplus, which can be used for the construction of additional expected to yield enough income to p ermit_ a school rental of schools or turn ::"cl over to the City. Some combined-occupa ncy structures ,rill probably be built to meet the City's social needs clc'spite their inab ility to produce enoi.1gh income to pay all 0£ the debt service - those providing rnodcrat;-rent housing, for example. In these instances, school rentals will be no high er than the annual cost of a comparable new school. The Fund h as been designed for considerable fl exibility in its operations. Because a wide variety 0£ commel-cial, public, social and residential uses can be accommod a ted in combined-occupancy buildings, many sections of the City offer appropria te si tes. Combined use is adaptable to small structures thc1.t can blend into existing, cohesive communities. Jt is also applicable on a la rge scale to major redevelopm ent areas, including urban renewal and l\Iodel Cities projects. It can b ecome on e of tne City's imponant plann ing tools during the n ext d ecade to create econom ic, social :rnd pl:ys:ca l renewd while carrying out its prime pu rpose of creating additional sch ools. 6 �Alfred A.

This program is. designed as an experimental project to develop new methods of pi"oviding low cost housing. The program itself is divided into two phases -- the first taking five weeks during which time the experimental program must be developed with respect to specific cities with recommendations submitted to HUD by June 15, 1968. The second phase calls for implementation of the experimental program with construction commencing on individual . _ . _ _ ___proje_c;~s q ~ aLch J .,__19.69~pp:r:.oaches .whi.ch-are .developed in these experimental projects will provide new building products, components, systems or total buildings which will meet the needs of the city residents · at a low cost. It ·is obvious that successful approaches have an opportun ity of be i ng implemented widely in model cities and throughout the country. In fact, the program is directly related to Presid ent Johnson' s objective of 6,000, 000 new or rehabilitated federally as siste d h ousing units for lower income farnilies. The approach to this project is t o analyze the various cities to determine their needs and their ability t o h ost different social and technical experin~e ntal approaches to housing. Simultaneously; we are looking to industry for new dev elopments in terms of produ c ts or procedures which will meet the needs of people fo r low cost hous·ing quickely. We are, therefore, soliciting comp anies such as yours throughout the country to determine whether or not there are appropri3.te building systems , materials and construction ideilS which you would like to have us consid er for use in the individual e x periments.

F:lanigen . Mr. G. Everett Millican Mr. Richard C. Freeman Mr. Rodney M. Cook Urgently request your support on the Jonesboro Road site and East Lake Golf Course No. 2 site as a vital part of the city's housing program. You will recall that at the public hearing on East Lake No. 2 there was no dpposition expressed except in the form of two persons who asked questions regarding public facilities. The developer has agreed to dedicate a 25 acre park on the site. Since the cosi of entire tract for park use would run 1.8 million this approach appears unrealistic and the present proposal will serve to preserve considerable open land in addition to the park. Our Commit-tee has voted unanimously to support these two projects since they have both been judged in accordance with the city's new land use plan. I repeat we need your help and are relying on your favorable action. Cecil A.

Johnson commented that to get more mong to meet the Mayor's requirement for Low-income Housing, the program will have to have more impact; that the impact could be great at one time. Mr. Alexander suggested that some of the proposed money be put in an emergency fund; that in this way when money is needed in an emergency then it could be used from that particular fund. Mr. Alexander commented on the recent Ground Breakings. On May 9, 202 units under Turnkey on Hollywood Rd; on May 27, 500 units under Turnkey on Bankhead Hwy.; and Gn May 30, 15 single family units on the Honor Farm No. 1 Site (four and a fraction acres of land of the expanded Thomasville Area was dedicated for single family sales housing that range from $13,500 to $15,200.) Mr. Jones reported on the revised Housing Resources Committee Summary 6£ the Low-income Housing program as of May 15, 1968, Copies were passed out to all in attendance. Low-income Housing program: Completed 2,031 units; Under Construction 5,108 units; and in Planning 7,151, The latter figure includes proposed projects such as the Browntown Rd. Site, DeKalb Ave. Site, Bankhead Hwy. Site, Gilbert Rd. Site, and Thomasville U. R. Project. Mr. Alexander stated that the Committee should concentrate support on the Public Housing portion of the Low-income Mousing Program. Mir. Satterfield stated that to meet the requirement’ indicated, we will be going/our current reservation. Mr. Alexander then turned this matter over to the Public Housing Panel for further consideration and resolution. It was brought out in discussion that one problem of Public Housing is, are we resettling in it the people of Atlanta who need Public Housing the most, or are we bringing more people in to the City to occupy it? Mr, Alexander stated thet the Business Participation Panel should talk to the Insurance companies to see that we are going to get financial help in getting the housing built. Fa Mr. Alexander proposed a tour of different slum areas, by taking a bus to certain locations and then getting out and walking through the areas. Mr. Jones and Mr. Parham are assigned to make arrangements for this tour. Mr. Alexander and lir, Jones commented on the Experimental Housing Survey Team from HUD. A total of 75 cities have been surveyed and only 20 cities will be selected. The survey team that was here was surveying 25 cities and two other teams have 25 cities each. The teams have to report with recommendations to HUD by June 15. HUD then plans to set up a $60,000,000 Experimental Housing program in selected cities, particularly in cities that have a.Model Cities area. Plans contemplate that ta the cities that are selected, work will begin as soon as possible, but no later than spring of 1969, The program contemplates 2 years for completion. it is anticipated that the results of this program will guide direction of the Presidents program for 6,000,000 low-income housing units over a 1@-year period, for which the Senate has recently approved & billion dollars. Mr. Dale Clark asked Mr. Alexander to explain what Experimental Eousing is. Mr. Alexander explained that Experimental Nousing is different types of buildings, different types of building materials, innovations in techniques, etc., designed to produce standard housing at a lower price, for low-income families, Mr, Alexander then stated that we need to settle the problems in the Nash=-Bans area, Mr. Collier Gladin stated that one of the key elements is to settle the problem of getting the Junior High School. It was brought out that Mr. Thomas of the local Citizens Committee, is trying to alleviate sone of the problems in the Nash-Bans area.

C. Dear Mr. Secretary: On October 8, 1969, at request of this Committee, a presentation was made to the Committee by a representative of the Housing Authority of the City of Atlanta (the City's Agent for carrying out the Urban Renewal Program) on proposed activities for 1770 in the City's Neighborhood Development Program. Copy of summary is attached (Encl. 1). This proposed program includes rather extensive activities in the five existing NDP areas and also minimum acquisition in three additional arcas. Two of these, i,e., Lightning and Plunkettown are very depressed residential areas, which this Committee has been strongly promoting for acquisition commencing in 1370, in order to rid the City of these specific pockets of very dilapidated residential slums. The City has made a major effort in developing this proposed program and is prepared to meet the local share of the Net Project Cost, as indicated in the attached. However, letter recently received from Region III of HUD (copy attached) indicates a drastic cut back in the anticipated Federal capital grant funds with which to finance the Federal share of Atlanta's proposed Neighborhood Development Program for 1970. This would mean a severe blow to Atlanta's 1970 NDP program and great disappointment to the Project Area Committees (PACs) and other citizens of the aveas involved, with whom the Housing Authority, the City Planning Department and this Committee have been working closely for so long. A drastic cut back now in proposed activities would be disastrous to morale and neighborhood aspirations. .

To date it has accomplished creditable results, as evidenced by the attached Summary - Status of Accelerated Low-Income Housing Program (Encl. 2). Therefore on behalf of, and in accordance with formal unanimous action by the Executive Group, Housing Resources Committee, Iurge that every consideration be given by your office to maintaining Federal capital grant funds to be allocated to Atlanta in support of the 1970 NDP program at or as near as possible to the proposed Net Project Cost of the 27.4 million dollara.

RESTRI CTIVE TRADE PRACTICES Unfortunate ly, Atlanta ' s onl y code pr oblems are not as a result o f other l ocal codes. In spite of recent revision, there can be found numerous faults in any of Atl anta 's codes. By a fault, I mean a stipulation which adds cost to a house without any improvement. These problems will be discussed with respect to the individual codes to which they app ly. �.. - 3 - PLUNBING Consid ering the present t echno logy in the ~rade , the At l a nta Plumb ing Code appear s to be over ly r estrictive i n only two basi c areas , ..-:_; concer ns plastic dr a in , waste and vent pipe .

The s econd area concerns prefabricated Though the code nevet s pecifically proh ibits these tree s, it does require th at a ll plumbing to be done by authodzed At-l an ta Plumbers. Since mos t of the prefabricated trees are manufactured outside of the cit ~ it is virtua lly impossib l e f or th em to c omply with this provi sion. ~ . Another restrictive rule re qu ires that al l plumbing be left exposed for inspection on the site, Th is means that a prefabricated wall, which 'can greatly r edu ce costs, canno t be used because the plumbing would be inclosed within it. The problems lie in these areas then: a) Plastic drain, waste , and vent p~pe is not considered. b) Not allowing even r ough assemblff ou tside of the ci ty. c) No special provisions for inspection of prefabricated walls . ELECTRICAL Far fewer objections are voiced on the El ectrical Code th an either the building or the plumbing codes. The objec t ions that are encou;tered concern the necessity of putting washing machines and drye rs on separate circuits, and by the same token, diswashers and garbage di sposers mus t also be separ ated. The only other objection concerned the prohibition of underground feeder and branch circuits. The objections on the Electrical Code were then: a) Inability to put washing machines and ~ryers on the. s ame circuit. b) Inabi lity to put dishwashers and garb age disposers on the same circuit. c) Illegality of underground feeder and branch circ u its. BUILDING At this time the Atlanta Building Code exists in two forms, the 1961 edition and its several ammendments and the totally revised edition which will go into effect on January 1,· 1970. This revised edition contains many provisions that the local builders have requested and is consequently quite �• .' - 4 - up t o date . There are however, . t wo glaring items that seemed to have been ove rlooked. The first conc erns the spacing of trusses. Prefabricated roof ' trusses h ave become a grea t cost reducing factor in house construction , and the genera lly a cc ep ted spacing is t we n ty- f our inches, The Atl anta code, apparently failing to recognize the wide spriad use of these t r usses, refers to them by their individual components, that is, rafters and joists . The code cites exampl es where r afters may be pl a ced twenty-four inches apart but the greatest sp acing for a joipt is sixteen inches, ricated truss es to be sp aced at sixteen inches. roof sheathing. "',_ Thus requir(ng prefab- The other problem concerns The nat ionally accep ted thickness for roof sheati_ing is 3/8 inch, whereas the Atlanta Code specifies 5 / 8 inch, It is in these t wo areas, then, that the problem iie: -.. a) Sixteen instead of twen ty-four inch spacing for prefabricated roof trusses. b) 5/ 8 inch instead of 3/ 8 inch roof 5hoathing, Another very important problem which exis ts in all of Atlanta ' s codes is requiring all of the labor to be performed by craftsmen licensed in Atlanta. This great i y limits the amount of pref::.abrication done in fa ctories outs ide of Atlanta even ·.:·.though prefabrication c an substantially lower the cost of a house. For example, bathroom assemb li es can be mass produced, not unlike an automobile, on an assembly line, These units, including l avatories , water closets , showers, tubs and electrical connections are then transported to the building site by truck. When the unit is installed in the house it is v irtua lly impossible to tell that it was not built in the conventional manner, yet the cost is substantially lower. nique. At l anta's codes do not permit this tech- Since the plumbing and electrical work was qot done within the city limits and by licensed Atlanta craftsmen, the unit is prohibited. It seems that if the unit were built according to a nationa l standard . that it should be allowed. By inspection at the factory it could be determineJthat the unit would be every bit as safe .and durable as a bathroom assembled on the site. Safety and durability are intended to be the major considerations of a building code. �• ..

Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document In 1922 the Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover reported to Congress that conflicting and antiquated building codes were substantially increasing building costs in the United States, Forty-seven years later this problem has yet to be solved. In this nation, where efficient productive investment is the key to economic growth, we see outdated laws robbing us ae their effi- ciency. No industry feels this more than building construction, our largest activity requiring private investment funds. And no area is more hurt by this than a rapidly growing, rapidly urbanizing area such as Atlanta. Archaic building codes can rob each homeowner of hundreds of dollars that could otherwise be used for productive investment. When this is added to the thousands wasted on public buildings, financed by the taxpayers, it is -seen that millions of investment dollars are drained away from the building market through restrictive building practices. ‘This means that fewer families are able to move into new homes and business are discouraged from making building investments. It is seen then that obsolete building codes can form a drag on the economic development of a community. Conversely, an up~to-date building code cannot only make more homes more available to more people, but it can also act as a stimulus to a community's economic development, The harm done by an outdated building code is most easily seen in Low cost, low income family housing. The several hundred dollars additional ‘cost to build a home in a poorly coded jurisdiction means, to many families, the difference between a new house and remaining in a rat infested slum. The numerous urban renewal projects within Atlanta where public funds are spent to make adequate building codes even more important. . Our city has five different codes: Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Housing,and Heating and Ventilating which will be discussed on detail. BUILDING _ The building division has patterned its code after the National Building Code, This code is written and recommended primarily by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and its basic concern is safty. Very little attention is paid to innovative materials or advances in technology. ELECTRICAL The Electrical division uses the National Electrical Code with a small book of revisions to apply specifically to Atlanta. There is an Electrical Advisory Board composed of local union and non-union electricians who influence changes and interpretations of the code. There is also an Electrical Examining Board which administers the examination to become a licensed Atlanta electrician. = Through this examination the board controls the number of electricians and the level of shill required for that license. PLUMBING The Official Plumbing Code is written by local Atianta plumbers. The Plumbing division also has a Plumbing Advisory Board and Examination Board whose functions parallel those of the electrical division. HEATING and VENTILATING ‘.* The Heating and Ventilating Code is locally written by an advisory Board consisting of members of the heating and ventilating industry of Atlanta. HOUSING The Atlanta Housing Code sets down minimum housing standards for existing building and is not primarily concerned with any new construction. > All of the aforementioned are strictly Atlanta codes. They are approved - by the Board of Aldermen and the Mayor and have the force of city ordinances. They apply only to building within the city limits. CODES OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA Just outside of the city limits there is a multiplicity of codes. The Fulton County Code for example, applies to all areas in Fulton County which are not also in an incorporated city such as Atlanta or Roswell. In DeKalb County on the other hand, their code applies to all unincorporated areas and to several incorporated cities who have chosen to use the county code. There are even several cities who use the county codes for building and heating, for example, and their own city codes for plumbing and electricity. This presents a very serious problem. Many builders serve the entire five county metropolitan area and are thus faced with many different codes. To solve the problem of applying different specifications for each building erected they have devised a composite area code. This code contains the strictest provision on each point in the various area codes. In this way . any house will meet the requirements of any code in any area. As is easily seen, this involves a great deal of wasted time and money, and a better house,is not necessarily the result. RESTRICTIVE TRADE PRACTICES Unfortunately, Atlanta's only code problems are not as a result of other local codes. In spite of recent revision, there can be found numerous faults in any of Atlanta's codes. By a fault, I mean a stipulation which adds cost to a house without any improvement. These problems will be discussed with respect to the individual codes to which they apply. at - 3 « PLUMBING Considering the present technology in the trade, the Atlanta Plumbing Code appears to be overly restrictive in only two basic areas, The first concerns plastic drain, waste and vent pipe. The use of this pipe is cur- rently under consideration by the plumbing advisory board and will hopefully be permitted in the near future. The second area concerns prefabricated plumbing trees. Though the code never specifically prohibits these trees, it does require that all plumbing to be done by authorized Atlanta Plumbers. Since most of the prefabricated trees are manufactured outside of the city, it is virtually impossible for them to comply with this provision. Another restrictive rule requires that all plumbing be left exposed for inspection on the site. This means that a prefabricated wall, which‘can greatly reduce costs, cannot be used because the plumbing would be inclosed within it. The problems lie in these areas then: a) Plastic drain, waste, and vent pipe is not considered. b) Not allowing even rough assemblq outside of the city. c) No special provisions for inspection of prefabricated walls. - ELECTRICAL Far fewer objections are voiced on the Electrical Code than either the building or the plumbing codes. The objections that are encoutered concern the necessity of putting washing machines and dryers on separate circuits, and by ‘the same token, diswashers and garbage disposers must also be separated. The only other objection concerned the prohibition of underground feeder and branch circuits. The objections on the Electrical Code were then: a) Inability to put washing machines and dryers on the, same circuit. , b) Inability to put dishwashers and garbage disposers on the same circuit. c) Illegality of underground feeder and branch circuits. BUILDING At this time the Atlanta Building Code exists in two forms, the 1961 edition and its several ammendments and the totally revised edition which will go into effect on January 1, 1970. This revised edition contains many provisions that the local builders have requested and is consequently quite 4 ea up to date. There are however, .two glaring items that seemed to have been overlooked. The first concerns the spacing of trusses. Prefabricated roof trusses have become a great cost reducing factor in house construction, and the generally accepted spacing is twenty-four inches. The Atlanta code, apparently failing to recognize the wide spread use of these trusses, refers to them by their individual components, that is, rafters and joists. The code cites examples where rafters may be placed twenty-four inches apart but the greatest spacing for a joint is sixteen inches. Thus requiring prefab- ricated trusses to be spaced at sixteen inches. The other problem concerns roof sheathing. The nationally accepted thickness for roof sheathing is 3/8 inch, whereas the Atlanta Code specifies 5/8 inch. It is in these two areas, then, that the problem lie: a) Sixteen instead of twenty-four inch spacing for pre- fabricated roof trusses. b) 5/8 inch instead of 3/8 inch roof shoathing. Another very important problem which exists in all of Atlanta's codes is requiring all of the labor to be performed by craftsmen licensed in Atlanta. This greatly limits the amount of prefabrication done in factories outside of Atlanta even zthough prefabrication can substantially lower the ‘cost of a house. For example, bathroom assemblies can be mass produced, not unlike an automobile, on an assembly line. These units, including lavatories, water closets, showers, tubs and electrical connections are then transported to the building site by truck. When the unit is installed in the house it is virtually impossible to tell that it was not built in the conventional manner, yet the cost is substantially lower. Atlanta's codes do not permit this tech- -nique. Since the plumbing and electrical work was not done within the city / that if the unit were built according to a national standard that it should limits and by licensed Atlanta craftsmen,the unit is prohibited. It seems be allowed. By inspection at the factory it could be determina] that the unit would be every bit as safe and durable as a bathroom assembled on the site. Safety and durability are intended to be the major considerations of a building code, “t This example illustrates a general tendency in the Atlanta codes to discriminate against innovation, Prefabrication and plastic pipe are two money saving innovative techniques which have proven themselves safe and durable in other jurisdictions, yet, they are both prohibited. Eventually, they will both undoubtedly be accepted but in the mean time a great deal of money is spent dnnecessarily. Safeguards must be maintained to protect the home buyer from any faulty or dangerous innovations but there is a need for - a provision in our codes to allow for the testing of new ideas by an impar- tial Test and Evaluation Board. These tests would check both the performance and durability of the product. If the tests were successfully passed the object or technique would be approved and it could be put into use without the long legislative battle involved in altering a code. “ The improvement of Atlanta's Code is a difficult but necessary task. It will require vigorous joint action from chambers of commerce, civic and service groups, and trade and professional associations. ‘There is na veason for a progressive city like Atlanta to allow antiquated building codes to retard its urban construction. Admittedly there are many problems associated with any urban renewal project but the slums are-a scar on Atlanta's face ‘and new building are the stiches needed to close that scar. A Progressive set of building codes is the needle with which these stiches must be made.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document Dear Mr. : As you know, our city has a large and growing demand for housing for all income groups. I am aware of the needs of all of the citizens for adequate housing at a price proportional to their ability to pay. My program to increase the supply of housing with this goal in mind is just now bearing fruit. I most earnestly recom- mend its continuance under your administration. The iouslig Rexdonces.Commattees made up of many volunteers who have unselfishly given me their time and effort, has been my method of keeping track of progress in the housing program. Since many of the members of the committee are free of political bias, I have found it useful to have them investigate and report to me on matters too politically delicate for my personal intervention. The committee has developed a. technique for accomplishing these delicate tasks that I would hate to see the city lose. I strongly recommend that you consider continuing this method of operating when this type of problem arises. But, specifically, I recommend that the city sonilnde to be receptive to new ideas in design and construction of houses so that we may benefit from the technology which is available from many sources. We have architects and engineers on the committee who can advise you impartially on these matters. The problem of codes and restrictive trade practices has been minimized in Atlanta, but we are still troubled by the lack of uniformity between our codes and those of surrounding areas, This often prevents us from obtaining maximum participation in housing contracts because the contractors who might bid are unfamiliar with or won't work with Atlanta codes. I am satisfied that Mr. Wofford;once he has a firm hand on his staff of building inspectors,will be able to assist you in relieving this problem. It is not nearly as severe now as it would be in a period of frantic home building like that which has occurred in other administrations. The Model Cities program must move ahead faster than it is presently going. You have an experienced staff in the Model Cities program and I recommend that you insist on performance from it. Many studies have been on the area's needs. It is essential that action be taken now to satisfy them, Atlanta Housing Authority has received a great deal of criticism, much of it from people who are unaware of the total job which the authority has done. The use of relocatable homes in Bedford-Pine and the planned use of mobile homes to further ease the shortage of low income housing during redevelopment are but two of the ideas which typify the work of this group. I recommend that you continue to urge them to consider new ideas on speeding up the job of providing a decent home to everyone under their jurisdiction. I have enjoyed the opportunity of creating a better environment for our citizens, When I look at an area like Thomasville and contrast it with Cabbage- town I cannot help but feel that we are on right track. All we need is more speed. Even though I shall be out of office, I don't expect to stop being concerned for our citizens. If there is any in which I can be of assistance to you in providing better housing, please feel free to call upon me.

Item: Proposed Neighborhood Development Program for 1970.

Bedford-Pine GA. Tech II Model Cities Edgewood - Vine City “Lightning *+Plunkettown “GA. State +New Areas Maps and statistical summary indicating the proposed action program in in- dividual areas was discussed. In summary, the 1970 NDP Program proposes the acquisition of 922 parcels of land, relocation of 1392 families and indiv- iduals, demolition of 922 structures, rehabilitation of 830 structures and disposition of 116 acres of land. As a housing resource for families displaced in the 1970 program, the Hous- ing Authority will complets and have ready for occupancy 2033 public housing units and 650 dwelling units for families of low and moderate income. The gross project cost of the 1970 NDP program is 27.l1 million dollars. Ths federal capital grant requested is 20.7 million, the local share is 8.5 million, 7.3 million includes non-cash grants-in-aid to be provided by the City and 1.2 million in cash tojbe provided by the Board of Regents. Fol- lowing HUD approval of addition section 112 credits of 1.1 million dollars, the cash required by the Board of Regents will be reduced to $165,880. On September 23, 1969, the Department of Housing and Urban Development ad- vised the Atlanta Housing Authority that $2),000,000 has been established as the amount available for the 1970 activity of the six Neighborhood De- velopment Programs now underway in Region III. This represents 5.9% of the federal capital grant funds available in the Region for 1969. The Regional office of HUD will allocats the available funds for 1970 NDP activities on the basis of each City's needs, its record of performance, and its ability to postpone some activities until a subsequent year. mech, 1  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Gilbert Boggs Atlanta Housing Authority 808 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mr. Boggs: I would like to propose to the Atlanta Housing Authority that you reconsider a possible "turn-key" site, with the general concept of a subdivision development for Land Lot 245 of the 14th District of Fulton County. As you will recall, this is the same area of the Sewell Road Project of last fall where we were turned down on our application for A-1 zoning, primar ily due to the efforts of S.W.A.P. However, we believe that we can control some 130 plus acres and using the present zoning could deve lop a "turn- key sub-division" which would include approx imately 130 multi-family garden units; approxima tely 300 units of two-family "duplex " units and some place in the neighborhood of 125 single family residenc es (18,000 square foot lots). Our initial concept would also allow for a schoo l site and park site in the overall development scheme, the school site to be offered at residential price to the schoo l board and the park site o f approximit ~ ly 8 acres to be donat e d at $1.00 to the Parks Department. We are awaiting your reaction to this general idea before we technically tie up the land and employ a professional land planner. It would b e our general concept to deve lop this in approx ima t e ly three stages, with some of each size and type units develop e d in each st age.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA PHONE 522- 4463 June 19, 1968 From Malcolm D. Jones, Housing Coordinator To: Dan Sweat Re: Attached Correspondence Due to the fact that several of the West End Ministers, ·c itizen organizations and SWAP all contended they were not opposed to Public Housing, but to such a large number of low~income families concentrated in one area, Cecil Alexander suggested to Ham Douglas (attorney for the ill fated Sewell Rd. Project, which then consistedr of about 85 acres proposed for 650 apartment units under Turnkey) that he believed it was worthwhile trying again for a ~ housing development of mixed type structures and for mixed economic: · status. (See Item DNM-1 in HRC status report of HRC Low-income Housing Status Report of January 15, 1968). This appears to be the outgrowth of that suggestion. Frankly, I do not believe another project, all under Turnkey, would be any more successful in this location than the first one, as it would of necessity be occupied by people all of whom would be in the low-income group. A mixed program development on this location would have a much better chance of success.

If single-family houses should be developed, appropriate for a 18,000 sq. ft. lot, they would not qualify for Public Housing and would not be successful in the sub-division with Turnkey apartments and duplexes, whereas less pretentious houses and lot size might be.
