HOUSING RESOURCES COMMITTEE
Room 120, City Hall

August 1), 1967

Mr. Jim Crawford, Chairman
Atlanta-Fulton County Joint Planning Board
Adair Realty & Loan Co.

56 Peachtree St. Ne We

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. Crawford:

Reference is made to Zoning patition #2-67-131l~E on the Agenda of the
Atlanta-Fulton County Joint Planning Board for consideration August 16, 1967.

On August 9 the Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee
considered the proposed re-zoning of this 5 acre tract from Mel & M~2 to A=1
for construction of low-income housing under the Turnkey program for Public
Housing, as part of the City's accelerated low-income housing program.

The Executive Group of this Committee feels that this proposed housing
project is badly needed in meeting an important portion of the City's critical ©
housing needs, unamiously endorsed this proposal and adopted a Resolution
that your Board be requested to recommend favorable action on the proposed
re-zoning of this site for Public Housing under the Turnkey Program.

Reference is also made to Zoning petition #Z-67-138-E on your agenda for
consideration at your August 16 meeting.

The Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee on August 9 also
considered the proposal for re~zoning of approximately 69 acres of a larger
tract from R=3 to A-l for the purpose of construction of approximately 360
dwelling units under the 221 ad (3) co-op program.

The Executive Group of this Committee feels that this proposed housing
project is desirable in meeting a special segment of the overall housing requirement
for low and medium income families in Atlanta and adopted a Resolution that
your Board be requested to also recommend favorable action on the proposed
pe eons of this site for the purpose stated.

Sincerely, :

Cecil A. Alexander, Chairman
Housing Resources Committee
