CITY HALL ATLANTA, GA. 30303 Tel. 522-4463 Area Code 404 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING COLLIER B. GLADIN, Director June 2, 1967 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Development Committee FROM: Planning Staff SUBJECT: Notes and comments on workshop session No. 2 with Candeub, Fleissig & Associates The Planning Staff has not been satisfied with the work of Candeub, Fleissig & Associates who have been responsible for the following studies: Planning, Fiscal, Economic Base/Marketability, Equal Opportunity in Housing and Design. Although this firm enjoys a national . reputation for its work in the field of planning and connnunity development, we have found their work to suffer in Atlanta for the following reasons: (1) Most of the interim and/or preliminary reports and memoranda submitted to date consists of a parroting back or rehash of locally available facts, statistics and data. Often the facts and information submitted to the consultant or generated and gathered by them have been either erroneously used or applied with little, if any, attempt made at verification prior to the incorporation in a report or memoranda. All of this appears to point to one or more of the following: inadequate research, local consultation, follow-up, and/or general negligence on the part of the consultant. (2) Based on the reports and memoranda submitted thus far, little if any attempt has been placed on analysis of the facts, their impli~ cations or consequences, or to relate one report to another. Few conclusions and recormnendations have been drawn . Where conclusions and reconnnendations have been drawn and set forth, it is difficult for the planning staff to see how, from whence, and on the basis of �Page 2 Notes and corrnnents on workshop session No. 2 what evidence, they were drawn. In short, the reader finds conclusions and recommendations drawn not predicated on facts or analysis of the facts. In reading the reports and memoranda, the planning staff has been constantly confronted by questions in his own mind of why, how and for what reasons - the answers to .which are not forthcoming by reading further. (3) In general, Items 1 and 2 apparently have led to the conclusion that many of the technical reports and memoranda could be applicable to any City USA. Most often the reader is left unconvinced that Atlanta is the City in question in each of the technical memoranda and reports. There is a general failure on the part of the consultant to relate what is being reported, discussed, concluded, or recommended with the physical, social, economic and political environment of Atlanta. The staff has employed every known tactic to encourage and to literally force improvement in the quality of their work. But, we have not seen any appreciable improvement which we would call satisfactory. Flat statements, sweeping generalizations, techniques, approaches, reconnnendations and assumptions made in today's meeting - all must be challenged by the staff and the Planning and Development Committee. The Program for Improvement Action being recommended by the consultant is heavily weighted toward physical improvement. This is probably the strongest part of the Program and basically represents materials provided the consultant by the Planning Department. The Program is weak, shallow, sketchy and in some respects not feasible on the social and fiscal facets. We have not seen much of th? economic materials to date and thus cannot comment. Consequently, the Planning Staff along with the Planning and De velopment Connni t tee should prod the consultant with the "Whys" , "Hows", and "Wher es" until we ge t satisfactory a nswer s and an accep t able Pr ogram for Improvement Action . �Page 3 Notes and comments on workshop session No.2 Set forth below are some examples of questions. These will give the committee some idea as the types of questions that should be asked the consultant: PHYSICAL --Shouldn't your recorrnnendations for renewal treatment cover the entire City, particularly those areas to the extreme North and Southwest which apparently have been omitted1 --What are the side effects 9n adjacent areas of renewal treatment in any given area?

June 1, 1967 Mr. Collier Gladin Head, Department of City Planning City Hall Atlanta , Georgia 30303 Dear Mr . Gladin: This is in respons to your request for Atlanta Civic Design Coimniesion Review of the report on D,esie prepared as part of the City of Atlanta ' s Community Improve nt Programcy Candeub , Fleisaig and Associat s, Planning Consultants .

We also thought good job w doo 1n identifying ao specific proble requiring attention 1n the J.tl nta are • We r particularly impres d with the choice nd range~ photographs and graphics used to point up th se problem. area • In hort, the comm.1tte ould have littl quarrel with th g neral m teri 1 cont ined in the body ot th port.

Collier Gladin June 1, 1967 -2- in the United States t oday. They do not, unfortunately, reflect some of the thoughtful analysis contained in the body of the Design Report itself .

In general we found the report to be informative and useful in the general discussion of design principles and objectives, We also thought a good job was done in identifying some specific problems requiring attention in the Atlenta area. We were particularly impressed with the choice and range of photographs and graphics used to point up these problem areas. In short, the committee would have little quarrel with the general material contained in the body of the report. On the other hand, it is the consensus of the Commission that the report wes extremely weak in the area of major concern to both public officials and interested citizens and of special concern to members of the Atlanta Civic Design Commission--namely in the area of specific proposals and recommendations. We would be less then frank if we failed to state that we had hoped for more specific advice as to what steps this community should be taking now to achieve better urban design in the future. Of nine items ineluded in the Summary of Major Recommendations (page 3 of the report) we find only two thet are reasonably specific--one calling for a CBD plen and the other calling for an ordinance to regulate the removal of mature trees. Unfrotunately, even these recommendations are weakened somewhat by their position at the tail end of the list. The other seven items might more properly be classified as statements of general need rather than firm recommendations to be im- plemented. For the most part they could be advanced for any urban area aa a aah. Seaweed ee le / =e Se A eee. ie PE eee eS Mr. Collier Gladin ~2- June 1, 1967 in the United States today. They do not, unfortunately, reflect some of the thoughtful analysis contained in the body of the Design Report itself. Taking the points covered in the recommendations in the order of their appearance, we would make the following comments: (1) The statement of need "from the public and private leadership of Atlanta to a goal of a well designed city and to the program needed to achieve it" would certainly have the support of every Design Commission member. We do wish that more emphasis had been placed in the study on the development of such a program. (2) The Commission would agree that "Physical Design plans related to the Community Improvement Program must be carried out by the best professional designers available." We would have appreciated some specific recommendations as to how this might be accomplished. For example, we believe that more use might be made of design competitions and we had hoped to see some discussion of whether and under what circwnstances the consultant would support or oppose such procedures. Also, some consideration of an "awards program" might have been provided in the report. (3) The Commission would probably support the idea that "The city must prepare and adopt a design-growth strategy." The report, however, is not too clear on whet such a strategy would consist of or how to achieve it. (4) The Commission would most likely support the consultants' recommendations that design controls need to be improved "through strengthening of the Subdivision and Zoning Ordi- nances" and probably that the Civic Design Commission needs to be strengthened also, but we are not too clear as to how this is to be accomplished. It would have been helpful if the Consultant could have provided some specific ammendments (in rough draft) for consideration of public officials and Commission members. (5) The statement that "a commitment is essential by all city departments to design policies adopted by the city" is again something all Design Commission members would support but we would have liked to have received some guidance as to specific ateps that might be taken to achieve it. (6) The suggestion that » “design officer is needed" is interesting. We wish it had been accompanied by a firm recommendation as to his duties and recommended location within the structure of local government. The suggestion thet he serve a city agency (existing or new) leeves the basic questions hanging without much hope for support. = 7 - a 2 7 ? " * = = oF. : Sot, 4 ' Sees eee Mr, Collier Gladin -3- June 1, 1967 (7) The statement that "a formal design review procedure" is needed is confusing insofar as the Atlanta Civic Design Commission is serving such a function at the present time. If the intent was to require that all major private construc~ tion in the city be made subject to such review, we wish it had been stated more clearly. Under this circumstance, we also would like to see some consideration of recommended limits and cut-off points for review of private construction. (8 & 9) Again, we wupport the recommendations that a CBD plan and tree ordinance be developed. We would have preferred to see these items neaeane this particular list because the bottom position does appear to weaken them. In summary, we feel the report falls short in the most important area--the area of recommendations. We are concerned both with the recommendations actually presented and with those that were not. We believe that the hand of public agencies concerned with design matters in the city would have been strengthened by 1) a much stronger statement of the case for a CBD plan; 2) a strong recommendation that a visual survey and design program be developed and implemented with specific recommendations as to how this might be dones 3) a draft of specific amendments to the subdivision ordinance, soning ordinance, bu codes, ete. ,) firm recommendations for a study of the impact of ad valorem taxation on design; 5) recommendations for development of an incentives program (awards or other) for encouraging good design; 6) recommendations regarding whether and how design competitions might be employed in the furtherance of good design; 7) recommendations regarding adoption of a sign ordinance; 8) recommendations regarding the development of design plans for specific major streets, expressways, repid transit system and public open spaces, and so forth. It may be argued that some of this thinking is incorporated in the body of the report and we would agree that some of it is. But we would alse state our belief that it will not be read or, if read, not taken seriously unless it is stated explicitly and with conviction in the Summary of Major Recommendations at the beginning of the report. It is the hope of the Design Commission that the city or its consultants will be in position to follow through with the good start that has been made to develop a specific, comprehensive program for achievement of the design goals and objectives stated so well in the design report.

BEAN . “Ti PLANNING ENGINGER ae . ; COLLIER 8. GLAODIN CHIEF PLANNER To; Mayor Allen ; Date: From: Wyont Bean Ray Nixon Karl Bevins 7 Subject: The Alignment of the Southwest Connector. During the month of September, 1964, Alderman ny, aL: Ger nee fr f= 6S =f Ae CITY OF ATLANTA DEPARTMENT of PLANNING .~7 0200 ES Od coor ae Fos October 5, 1964 Jack Summers and a _ representative of Fulton County Public Works Department, Mr. McGeorge, met with the residents of the neighborhood which is generally located in the Westview Drive, Lawton Street, and the L & N Railroad area to ee discuss the relocation of a new street connector. The project in question is the $1,700,000 Southwest Connector, a 1963 Fulton County Bond Project, which was for the construction of a new four lane connector between Cascade Road - Gordon Road and the four lane Marietta Boulevard. This included an interchange with the West Expressway which will relieve serious traffic problems on Northside Drive and the entire west side of Atlanta. The general subject of Alderman Summers’ meeting was that the home- owners felt that this project, if developed as planned, would destroy the neighborhood they had worked so hard to develop. They felt that the other alternatives should be considered. Some of the suggestions were to align this roadway with Ashby Street, another was to develop the roadway either over the L & N Railroad or within the railroad right-of-way thereby eliminating that section of track. Still another suggestion was to generally . follow along the west side of the L & N Railroad. At the request of Alderman Jack Summers, on Tuesday, September 22, 1964, a delegation of approximately twenty five residents of the Westview Drive, Fountain Drive, and Hunter Place led by Senator LeRoy Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Chandler, and Mr. M. L. Goss met with Mr. Karl Bevins, Mr. Wyont Bean, and Mr. Collier Gladin and presented their views. The main purpose of the Bee) cea Cectoser 5, 1964 Page 2 citizens present was a request to relocate the facility « 60 as not to affect those present and the comsunity of their interest, and if the officials present could not accomplish this change, to whom could they appeal. The officials present requested time to consider this viev. After further investigation, this paper vas prepared to represent the findings of the Construction, Planning and Traffic Engineering Departments. The Joint Atlanta-Fulton County Bond Program, which was approved by the people May 15, 1963, provided the funds to begin this connector road which was first planned during or prior to the second world war. a During this time, the development of a large number of apartments in the f vicinity of Simpson Road, the interchange with the West Expressway, and the underpass with Westview Drive, which is now under construction, have limited the possibilities to two alternatives. First, the alignment which is generally along and adjacent to the east side of the L & N Railroad right-of-way from Cascade - Gordon north to Marietta Boulevard. The second would be paralleling the east side of the railroad north from Gordon Road to a point just north of Westview Drive then bridging over the railroad and generally being aligned and adjacent to the west right-of-way line of the railroad, then recrossing the railroad north of Bankhead Avenue. Either of these alternatives would therefore follow a facility which presently forms the boundary line of. several neighborhoods. To vary away from the ; railroad would further split and destroy the unity of adjacent neighborhoods.’ In taking a close look at this connector, you find that it will be the extension south of Marietta Boulevard and on further south you find the . underpass at Westview Drive, which is under construction, and the underpass and ramps of the West Expressway which is also under construction. The most direct route between these restrictive points is the general align- ment along the L & N Railroad. In deciding which side of the railroad right-of-way will be less damaging on the adjacent neighborhoods and individual families effected and which side will be the most economical use of the tax payers dollar, we must consider that the general alignment along the west side of the railroad will effect approximately twice as many families and will require three wajor crossings of rail facilities while the general location along the east side will effect fewer families and require the crossing of only one rail facility. Also considering that in addition to this four lane. southwest connector in the future will require the widening of Ashby Street where provision have already been made in the development of the West Expressway and the Ashby Street interchange for this future widening. Considering the large number of industries and commercial activities that require railroad for supply that it would not be possible to eliminate this rail facility and the great expense and engineering problen Bhat. weuld\be incurred developing an elevated roadway over the L & NW right-| of-way. : yd Sens c , ‘ . ! monet ty al va As rr 4 - Memorandum October 5, 1964 Page 3 After further weighing these facts, the City of Atlanta feels that t z the physical, economic, and social aspects of this dovelopment have been thoroughly reconsidered and that it would not be to the cities best interest in requesting ea change im the general alignesnt of the southwest connector along the east side of the L & N Railroad right-of-way.

We are being temporarily delayed in our attack on the zoning problem be= cause of the community's preoccupation with Project 0C8(Operations Cool Summer) which involves a major total area commitment to ease neighborhood tensions, particularly in the shopping center area, and avert the threat of mid-summer violence, Our particular concern is with unemployed teen= agers and those merchants who are not in complete sympathy with neighbor= hood improvement programs, Significantly, our big handicap is a lack of recreational facilities in the area «= no swimming pools, no community club houses, no YMCA nor YWCA, no library, no supervised recreational facilities, We hope, through Project OCS, however, to advertise our needs and encourage @ little more effective cooperation from City Hall, Admittedly, the Department of Plarmming is not immediately concerned with an area's teenager problems, but wise urban planning does involve fashioning means for the effective absorption of burgeoning area populations, So this problem does at least lie on the periphery of your department's area of concerne As for the specific matter of the rezoning petitions, I have three personal reactions: (1) First, I cannot personally concur with the view that every neighborhood must have multiefamily units in order to be considered a “wellebalanced” commnity, A well-balanced community, it seems to me, is one that has suffictent sere vices to accommodate the needs of its citizenry, To im- pose multi-family units on an area lacking these essential services brings a precarious imbalance to a commnitye «le Fe a A a Cee e ere eee rere erence neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeccceaeeeceeccccncnnneeennennnenne ene enn (2) Secondly, 4t seems to me that, by giving the com munity a deadline, the Zoning Committee has relieved the petitioner of the burden of the proof and placed it on the citizenry, Instead of the petitioner having to prove why @ zone change should be granted, the com= munity is being asked to concede that the petition has validity and recommend areas for multi-family dwellings. In other words, we are being subtly inveigled to coopere ate against our best interests. (3) Finally, I think that all petitions for zone changes for building multi-family units should inolude “hard* plans for building adjacent schools and recreational facilities, as well as a traffic study of the area in which the units are to be constructed. In other words, the petitioner should provide the Zoning Committee with a “package” plan, detailing the installation of services to accommodate the citizens who will live in the multiefamily units. I hasten to add that much of the sbove represents my personal point of view, In the weeks to follow, I plan to confer with some of my friends in HUD and federal and public housing in order to become more informede In the meantime, as we make our plans to scoperate with the Zoning Connittee, we will probably call on you for guidance and assistance. co ve truly <ches Ke(ho Richard K.

It would seem appropriate to mention a few highlights even though each committee could not be included in my brief report. The Personnel Committee had a particularly busy year in assisting the Executive Director in replacing eight key positions. In each case we felt that we secured very well qualified persons to fill the vacancies. The salary scales have been improved each time t he budget has been presented to the Chest. �The Building and Grounds Committee has spent time, talent and funds on repairs and redecoration of Osgood Sanders Center and Play Equipment needs were met at Dorothy Arkwright Center. The Wayside Garden Club, Magnolia Garden Club and the Atlanta Junior League have made substantial contributions for capital expenditures. Social Work Advisory Committee assisted our new Social Worker in orientation to the agency. They set up procedures for an annual review of each client to set fees for service. We are most careful to adhere to health and sanitation regulat ions and to serve adequate, well balanced meals which our Nutrition Committee r.ecommends. Our clinics are operated by qualified Pediatricians and the Medical Committee carries out their suggestions. The Finance Committee built and structured the operating budget for providing service to the 350 different children in our care last year . This was done at a cost of $2.40 per day per child. We are justly proud of our economical operation of our two facilities. The United Appeal is our chief source of income and we are indeed grateful for their understanding and support of our high quality of day care services in t he community. To serve as your President has been a source of great pleasure to me and I do wish t o thank everyone who has made my year a happy experience. I particularly enjoyed the privilege of working with our fine Executive Director, Miss Margaret Colbert. Sheltering Arms had a richer program because of the active interest of our Board of Directors and the splendid service of our entire staff. Sincerely, Mrs. Harry L.

These may be extended following investigation to those having special needs. Sheltering Arms is open Mondays through Fridays 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Nursery provides care for boys 214 to 10 years of age. and for girls 214 to 12 years of age. The fee for day care at Sheltering Arms is based on individual family income. Each family pays according to a fee attainable within financial limits. Most choose to be as self-sustaining as possible. The Social Worker assists the family in determining whether we are the appropriate agency to meet their child care needs and in setting a realistic fee for service. Sheltering Arms operates year round with a staff of director, social worker, educational consultant, two center supervisors, six- teen teachers and assistants, a secretary-bookkeeper, two part-time pediatricians and five maintenance personnel. During the summer supply teachers are added to staff. Administratwe Staff Miss MARGARET L. COLBERT.......... Executive Director Mrs. Lois HANCOCK.............

If it were not for the interest and support of each of you my job would have been an arduous one. This you recall was the year in which we faced an operating deficit. How- ever, friends came to our assistance and we will be able to maintain our services of the highest quality because of their generosity. We have 6,500 hours of volunteer service from youth groups, garden clubs, civic clubs and our own members. They provided an enriched program for our boys and girls throughout the year. The committees all did their jobs as assigned and I am indeed grateful to each chairman for the work which you did to keep the agency operating at top efficiency. It would seem appropriate to mention a few highlights even though each committee could not be included in my brief report. The Personnel Committee had a particularly busy year in assisting the Executive Director in replacing eight key positions. In each case we felt that we secured very well qualified persons to fill the vacancies. The salary scales have been improved each time the budget has been presented to the Chest.  The Building and Grounds Committee has spent time, talent and funds on repairs and redecoration of Osgood Sanders Center and Play Equipment needs were met at Dorothy Arkwright Center. The Wayside Garden Club, Magnolia Garden Club and the Atlanta Junior League have made substantial contributions for capital expenditures. Social Work Advisory Committee assisted our new Social Worker in orientation to the agency. They set up procedures for an annual review of each client to set fees for service. We are most careful to adhere to health and sanitation regula- tions and to serve adequate, well balanced meals which our Nutrition Committee recommends.

GLADIN, Director July 26, 1967 Mr, Robert Bivens Executive Director Central Atianta Progress, Inc. Suite 2740, 2 Peachtree Street Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr, Bivens: Subject: CBD Plan Foliowing your meeting with the Mayor concerning this subject, I have had several discussions with the Mayor and Alderman Cook plus, of course, the numerous meetings with you end Don Ingram. As you know, I agree one hundred percent with the Central Atlanta Progress Directors and yourself that a CBD Plan is vitally needed for downtown Atlenta, The edvent of repid transit, the relocation of garment wholesslers from the CBD, the extensive development of John Portman's Peachtree Center, the Nasher Air-Rights developments, the Cousins Air-Rights developments, the proposals for urban renewal in the CBD area by the Community Improvement Program and the Georgia State College development plan all will have a tremendous impact on the future development of downtown Atlanta. I feel very strongly that three organizations have an interest in end a role to play in the development of such a plan. CAP, of course, is vitally interested in what heppens to the immediate downtown area. ABMPC is more concerned with the impact the CBD hae on the region as a whole and the City Planning Department is most concerned with the CBD and its relationship to the corporate limits of the City, All three agencies then are concerned with « different segment or interest of the population. ; In order to assure the enthusiastic support of these three agencies, as well as others such as the Chamber of Commerce, the CBD planning process must be set up to allow the maximum utilization of the Mr. Robert Bivens =2e July 26, 1967 data and talent of these organizations. Without the wholehearted suppoext of each of these bodies, there is a question in my mind whether the plan can be successfully implemented. CAP represents the leaders of the business community whose property and business interests are involved and whose political support will be necessary to carry out the plan. Most of the funds to carry out the plan will, no doubt, come from bond funds paid for by the City of Atlanta and will require the support and approval of the Mayor end Board of Aldermen, Any Federal funds, other than urban renewal, used in the planning phase must be channeled through ARMPC or through MARTA, the agency responsible for the greatest single — impact on the future development of the CBD. Based on the above, I have recommended to the Mayor and Aldermen Cook the following, which both feel they could support. 1. That a joint staff be created using planners from our department and from CAP, This joint staff would be under the direction of Don Ingram of your staff. We would loan experienced personnel from our depart- ment as their particular skills are needed, i.e., Jim Kluttaz (Landscape Architect with a Maater's Degree from Harvard) could be assigned for the duration of the project; Dick Rasler (Engineer with a Master's Degree in Transportation and Planning from Tech) would be assigned on a part-time basis to aid in the transportation and traffic portion of the studg; John Watson (Economiet with a Master's Degree from University of Georgia) would be assigned to develop Electronic Data Processing designs for producing information from our data bank, and other personnel from our department might be assigned as needed - draftsman, etc, 2. This joint staff would report to both the CAP Executive Coumittee and the Planning and Development Comittee of the Board of Aldermen. 3. A memorandum of agreement (not legally binding) would be developed spelling out precisely what role the Planning and Development Committee, our department and CAP would play in the project. It should also provide for the contractual invelvement of ARMPC, 4. This agreement would provide that the P & D Committee wust review all program designs, goals and major assumptions, contracts with consultants, the particular consultant chosen, preliminary and interim reports. Me. Robert Bivens o3q July 26, 1967 Vinal reports would be subject to the approval of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. The project staff would meet with the P & D Committee at least monthly during the duration of the study. The City anticipates contributing personnel, computer time and possibly cash. This, of course, would be subject to the Finance Committee's approval. If the City puts up cash the P & D Committee and the Finance Committee would have to approve all contracts with congultants before they are executed, including the consultant chosen. In all other cases, if the P & D Committee fails to approve the recommendations of the joint staff the Project Director, at his discretion, may proceed with their recommendations, but must indicate the Committee's disapproval in any preliminary or interim report referring thereto. The City of Atlanta would actually be @ party to any contracts with consultants along with CAP. I sincerely hope that this proposal is one which you end your Executive Board can support.
