DISCUSSION

Mr. Case of HUD proposes that O.A deed the Highway, School end Parks
portions of the site directly to these respective Departments for planning
and development, but that the Housing portion (including smell commercial
site to serve the project) be deeded to the Housing Authority, for subsequert
processing and development under Urban Renewal. However, he concedés that
these sites could be deeded by O5A to the City of Atlanta or direct to a
selected developer, as is now contemplated for the other portions of the
site.

All agree that the eventual award of the housing portion to a developer
should be based on some form of competitive process. It also appears that
the most feasible competitive procedure would be thru design proposals by
prospective developers, for multiple type, housings

we all also agree that such proposals could be called for by either
the City or the Nousing Authority, witHout waiting for the title to first
pees from OOA,

It is my opinion, which is also sheared by others, that the quickest
development can be accomplished thru private developers direct, with-out
the land being deeded first to the Housing Authority and then going thru
the Urban Renewal process. At least two of the prospective developers
much prefer it this way and in fect have requested it be done this way,
if possible, Interfaith has specifically asked thatthe Mayor write
directly to HUD in Washington requesting this procedure,

Any financial advantage that might be derived in development of streets
and installation of utilities by the Housing Authority thru the Urban
Renewal process, should be off set by the time saved and anticipated
relatively low land cost of the project, if done by the developer, in
conjunction with the housing development.

If necessary, the Housing Authority might be compensated for its
administrative services on this project,by adding the expense involved,
which should be only nasinal, to the cost of the land to the developer.
