NOTES
8,266 units proposed did not materialize, of which 7,166 were shown in the previous report of Nov. 15, '67 and 1,100 additional units are listed in
saenent report, as Lost. (The majority of these losses were due to disapprovals of sites and proposed ragonings)
Proposed locations for low-cost housing are being coordinated with the Planning Dept., for adequacy of Community Facilities, existing or proposed.
Proposals are also reviewed periodically with the School Dept. for adequacy of school facilities.
A team from Savannah composed of Mr. Leon J. Meyer, Architect, A.I.A. and Mr. John 0. McNamara, Jr., Consulting Engineer, has recently made a
presentation in Atlanta of a "patent. applied for" low-cost housing method of construction with flexible design, which they claim can be constructed
quickly on site, employing mostly untrained labor and at a savings of 10%-15% under conventional construction. This team is scheduled to make another
presentation to the Construction and Design Panel, Housing Resources Committee, for evaluation of the merits of the pronosal.
The Travelers Insurance Company has agreed to finance 70 or more new single family low-cost houses in the Thomasville, Urban Renewal Project area under
the FHA 221 d (2) insured mortgage program.
In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multi-family developments, it is apparent that
the Low-income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builders providing a substantial portion of the requirements on small
scattered sites. Thus far, 597 single family sales houses and 2,85) rental units in duplexes and relatively small apartment developments, in this
category and mostly under conventional financing, have been and are being developed.
No proposal had yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or sell for as low as $50.00 per month, although the
London Towne Houses, a 221 d (3) co-op development now under construction, is pushing this close with its one bedroom unit selling for {59.00 per month.
The City's greatest need is in the $30.00 - $50.00 per month rental-purchase range.
Attorney Blackwell in Decatur has proposed a concrete 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1, 000 sq. ft. house which he claims can sell for $6,000, plus land costs, incl.
heating and air conditioning equipment.
National Homes Corp. of Lafayette, Ind. placed on the market Feb. 1, 1967, a 800 - 900 S.F. (0.S. dimensions) 3 bedroom, prefabricated, preassembled
panel, single family house plus a 96 S.F. (I.S. dimensions) storage building manufactured by Arrow Metal Products Corp., to sell under FHA 221 da (2).
Price includes plumbing, electrical, heating units, stove & refrigerator. House can be completely assembled in 85 man hours; 72 of these (with con- |
ventional plumbing) are being erected (pre-sold) in the Thomasville Urban Renewal Area. Approx. 800 sq. ft. house is priced at $11,200; 900 sq. fte |
house is priced at $11,600, Adrian Homes Corp. has proposed a prefab to retail for about $7,500 plus land, foundation, closing and pousible tapping
fees. Other prefab distributors and conventional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but are not producing single family houses in
Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$12,500 range for which there is a strong demand and market in Atlanta. Perhaps the greatest difficulty is availa-
bility of suitably priced land within the City Limits. [Economics for this price range sales housing require land which will not cost the developer
more than $1500.00 per unit. |
Saul Gray is one of five partners in a Corporation which owns 280 new units off Bankhead at Elbridge St., which he wants to sell, + a potential
development on the site for several hundred additional units. Area is already zoned A-l.
Ralph L. Dickey of Atlanta has proposed a non-profit revolving fund enterprise to acquire substandard housing, renovate it and resell, primarily
through private enterprise. CACUR recently formed a non-profit corporation to rehabilitate existing units under 221 (h). Morris Brown College
is another such sponsor. North West Community Forum has also filed applications for projects under 221 (h).
