Res Browntown Site
Dear Matt,
On Tuesday, October 17th, Tom Bane, Peter Labrie, Bob Cousins,
and I met with Dr. Darwin W. Womack, Assistant Superintendent
for School Plant Planning and Construction to discuss a school
site for the Browntown Road project. It was decided that a
1,000 pupil grammar school requiring 10 acres of land must be
co-ordinated on the site to insure over-all proper planning
for a Public Housing Development. In order to obtain the
best possible site planning, it was requested that your Land
Planner incorporate the school site into the master site plan.
From a practical standpoint, the School Board would agree to
a 3 to 5 acre school site if an adjoining 5 to 7 acre recre-
ational area can be provided and designed for use both by the
school and the adjoining housing development.
Peter Labrie indicated that his over-all Community Planning re-
port will be ready for presentation to the Community Civic Leaders
the week of October 23rd. While we are not certain that the re-
vised Land Plan will necessarily have to be approved by this same
Community group, I have obligated your company to have it avail-
able on October 27th in order that the Planning Department, the
Housing Authority, and the School Board can indicate their pre-e
liminary approval. Our most important date is November 9th, on
which date the full Aldermatic Board must re-introduce the site
for zoning which will occur on December 7th. It is our best
judgement that successful re-zoning will require the effected
Community's active support. We are hopeful that Peter Labrie's
Community Planning report will be accepted by the Community, and
that the Community, in turn, will remove their opposition to the
Browntown re-zoning.
Sincerely,
. Ca
