A regu /a;ly scheduled meeting of the Planning and Development Committee of the
Board of Aldermen was held 9n Friday, July 21, 1967 at 2:00 P. M. in Committee
Room #2, Second Floor, City Hall.
The following Members were present:
Rodney Cook, Chairman
E. Gregory Griggs
John Flanigen
George Cotsakis
Q. V. Williamson
Absent:
Charles Leftwich
Jack Summers
Also Present: Collier Gladin, Planning Director
Sam Masseli, Vice-Mayor
Tom Shuttleworth, Departmental Staff
Robert Lyle, Associate City Attorney
The Chairman called the meeting to order and the following business was
considered:
1.
0
Public Hearing - Annexation Petition.
Chairman Cook explained this annexation involved 47 lots lying to the
north of Jett Road, contiguous to the city limits of Atlanta; that the petition
for annexation by the residents of the area has qualified for public hearing
under the criteria established by law.
Mr. Gladin briefly explained that 27.62 acres were involved, totaling 47
lots. Of these 47 lots, 44 are occupied and 3 are vacant. He then stated
under the requirements of Section 6 of the Annexation Ordinance, the City is
required to make plans for the extension of services to the area proposed to
be annexed and shall, prior to the public hearing provided for in Section 3 of
said Ordinance, prepare a report setting forth such plans to provide services
to such area .
Mr. Gladin then submitted said report, stating that the Department's of Fire,
Police, Construction, Water and Sanitation have indicated, by letters included
in the report, that adequa te services can be provided to the annexed area.
He stated that the Department of Planning recommends approval of this petition.
show of hands indicated about 10 people were present in favor of the annexation
and about 6 in opposition .
A
The Chairman stated the Committee would hear from those in favor and then the
opponents.
First, Mr. John Sikes of Bryn Mawr Circle appeared and tendered a signed
list of persons wishing to withdraw their names from the petition they previously
signed for annexation to the City of Atlanta. He also submitted a separate
petition of opposition for the record. The proponents asked that the names on

this petition be read aloud, which th e Chairman did, as follows: Barbara S.
Newland; Marshall C. Newland; Constance W. Balnis; Henry J. Balnis; W. B. Ray,
III; Mrs. W. B. Ray; James M. Robinson; Frank J. Breunig, Jr., and Jane R.
Breunig.
The Chairman then asked Mr. Glad in to che ck this list against t he original
petition to determine if it would still qualify. However, the staff was unable
to determine this during the meeting because of the complexity of such calculations.
The following persons then spoke in favor of the annexation:
0
MR. C. A. LORENZEN, 4624 JETTRIDGE DRIVE. - I have been a resident of Atlanta
for two years and have resided on J ett rid ge all that time. We have bee~ very
inter e st ed in becoming a part of the City of Atlanta since moving he r e . My wife
submitted a petition in 1965 but at tha t time the annexation issue was coming up
and in view of this it was thought advisable that the petition be withheld. I
feel there are tremendous advantages for the people in Fulton County and the people
living adjacent to Atlanta to being a part of the City. I think Atlanta is a
very progressive City. I think that in order for Atlanta to grow that the community
surrounding the cities has tribe a part of it. Those of us in Fulton who work in
Atlanta have got to help the City grow. We earn our salary here and I think that
we are a part of Atlanta, therefore, it is absolutely essential that petitions
similar to this be adopted.
MR. GEORGE FREER, 4625 BROOKHOLLOW ROAD. - I am a new resident of Atlanta,
but I am very interested in this a r e a becoming a part of t he City because we are
par t o f the City. We lpartake of the services and the name of the City and we are
hopeful of partaking of the government of the City of Atlanta. Thos e of us in the
proposed area do not have adequate f ire protection. I believe those of us who have
children are very interested in comi ng in the Atlanta School System. We can se e
nothing but good, as far as the s e rvices of the government of the City of Atla nta,
that would come of us becoming a part. Whe n i t comes time to dispose of our
property , it is much more in our favor that this property be within the city limits.
I want to go on record as supporting it wholeheartedly.
MR. DICK HODGES , 4615 BROOKHOLLOW ROAD, supported the annexation for the basic
reasons as previously stated.
MR. GENE STELTEN, TWIN SPRINGS ROAD, - From an accompanying map on display,
Mr . Stelten pointed out that this area is basically divided into three divisions Mil lbrook and two others, which have been developed a s subdivisions longer than
Mi llbrook. He s tated that the s e ntiment f o r annexation in the Millbrook subdivision
is about 83% o f the homeowners and 81% of the ele c tors, so they are ovenvhelmingly
in favor of it. To the south (Jettridge Fo rest Subdivision) prior to the submittal
of the withdrawal petition, the people were 47% in f avor of annexation by homeowners and 40% by electors, so the sentiment here is strong for annexation. In the
third subdivision (3 lots on Bryn Mawr Circle cul-de-sac) the sentiment for annexation was less than 50%. The names on that petition fall within this group. If
this will make a difference in your deliberation, I wanted to point out this factor.

There were then random questions and answers from the audience.
Q - I have a senior going to Sandy Springs. Will she be able to finish
the last year at Sandy Springs"? Mr. Gladin replied affirmatively.
"Is there any change anticipated in the sewer arrangement in the whole area;
will any additional sewers be needed?" Mr. Gladin stated there are no anticipated new sewers.
Q - "Will our homes be reappraised for tax purposes and what experience
do you have as far as appraisals goes?"
Chairman Cook replied the homes will not be reappraised since there now
exists a joint City-County Board which functions for both governments. As to
past experience, Mr. Cook cited the case of the Sa ndy Springs Annexation, as .
an example, stating there would have been a moderate increase in ad valorem
taxes if annexed to the city, however, this would have been largely offset by
lower charges in other areas, such as water, fire, sanitation, etc. and he felt
this would be typical with the ~ase at h~nd.
Q - "In talking with the people, the fears expressed had to do with installation of new service facilities and higher taxes. Can you give us some assurances
about this since this is our main fear?"

In response to this question, Mr . Cook read aloud the letters f from the
Water Department, the Construction Department and the Police Department. These
letters are on file in the proper Docket.
Q - "If this is approved will our children be transferred to other schools
in September?"
Mr. Cook stated they can be transferred this September, but graduating seniors
can elect to remain in the school they _are presently in until graduation.
Q - "If this is approved, when would this area become a part of the City 1"
Mr. Gladin stated if it is approved by this Committ ee today, it wou ld go
to the fo llowing meeting ' of the f ull Board of Aldermen for f ormal action, and
woul d become effective on signatu re of the Mayor, which would be sho rtly there-
after.
Q - "When would the tax es become effective ?"
Mr. Cook stated the City of Atlanta taxes would become applicable January 1,
1968 but the City services would become effective immediately.
JOHN SIKES, 4575 BRYN MAWR CIRCLE , spoke in opposition. There are three
homes on my street seeking to come in. The first basis of my objection is a
number of people in the neighborhood appeared t o want to c ome into the City
because they feel it wil l affect their house values. They have tried to sell

and lost buyers because they are not in the city. They feel this is a
situation where they can help their property val ues so they can move away
and increase our taxes . They are not looking to pay the extra taxes . My
sec ond objection is the Dykes High School. If you put one more child in
Dykes, the walls will burst out. I understand it will be a couple of years
before more spac e would be available. Mo st of the people in the lower end
o f Jettridge where the opposition i s coming from have had children in the
county school and we like the county schools. Most of the people tal king
about going into the City s choo ls are the more re cent residents further out
and they have not had the good experience with the County schoo ls we have.
We resent being "saddled" with ext ra taxes to set up a number of people beyond
us to see this as a added value inducement.

Q)
ALICE STROMQUIST , 4540 JETTRIDGE DRIVE, spoke in opposition, stating
she had hoped to wait until all of Sa ndy Springs could be brought in .
MR . JOHN BURNETT , 4545 JETTRIDGE DRIVE. The proponents mentioned inadequate fire protection~ There is a fire station down at We st Conway and
Northside Drive which services this area. I don ' t know what e l se could be
done by the way of additional fire protection. We pay an extra mill t ax to
use that fire station. I could drive to t his station in about a minute.
In response to the question of increased taxes, Mr. Cook stated to Mr .
Sikes the staff would be glad to provide him with the differenc e in tax figures
on an individual basis if he would like, and he believed the people would be
surprised at how little the difference will be, taking into account the reduced
cost of services from the increase.
Regarding fire rates, Mr. Cook stated, if you come inside the City taxes
would be r e duced by one mill, which you are now paying for fire protection, and
your fire protection will be increas ed with a likely reduction in f ire ra t e s.
J OHN BEAMER , 4525 J ETTRIDGE DRIVE. I don't want to be a nnexed primarily
because o f the school situation, until Dykes has additional fa cilit ies .
Mr . Cook stated the staff nor the committee had heard any oppos ition until
today and all efforts until now has been to get the children in the city schools
by September. If you wish to keep your children where they are and try to work
it out with the School Depar tment, we will che ck on the schoo l situation . The
new Dyke s High School has been f unded; so has the new elementary school on Mt .
Pa r a n. Both we r e f unded in 1965. The land has been bought and the money is
a vail able . The contract should b e l e t in the Spr ing and cons t ruction st a r ted.
It will be about an 18 month building program.
From the a udience - "we are not against coming into the City.
t he timing is bad."
We jus t t hink

Q-"Will the new Dykes High School be consolidated ?"
Mr. Cook stated he could a s sure everyone there will not be a consolidated
school. I think the schools are loc ated with the possibility of annexation in
1mind in relationship to the population.
Q later? 11
11
Will there be the possibility of any annexation around th~ new School
Mr. Cook stated they could petition for annexation if they elected to.
Mr . Sikes stated that since everybody below this line (pointing to · the map)
wants to stay out to take this area which is the last and newest of the three
subdivision .and l eave the area as it is.
Mr . Cook stated the Committee would look into this in Executive Session.
Mr~ Cook asked the audience if most o f the ir objections have to do with
the schools, to which those in opposition replied yes.
Mr . Cook asked them if the school p r ob l ems could be worked out, would this
help.
0
Mr . Sikes stated this is actually an over-simplification since some of the .
people who withdrew their names do not have c hildren , but this would be desirable.
The matter was then referred to Exe cuti ve Session.
In Executive Session, f ollowing a discussion period, the Committ ee unanimously
agreed t o approve the Or d i nance , sub ject to it qualifying under the 60% elector's
requirement and the 60% land a rea requi rement, and f urther, t hat the Planning
Department staff wo uld che ck with th e Board o f Education to see if t he children
in the area could continue at county school s in c ases where their parents do
not wish them to be transfe rred t o city schoo ls.
Tre e Or dinance - Public Hearing .
Mr . Cook brie f ly expl ai ned the p urpose and intent of the Tree Ordinance, and
then called on Mr. Gl adin, Planning Director, who bri ef ly revi ewed the 27 sections
of the Ordi nance , emphas izing it covers two major areas , one o f pro tection, t h e
other of p l anting and maintenance.
Mr. Cook then recognized and expressed appreciation f o~ the large audience
in attendance f o r the hearing and opened the meeting t o questions and answers.

Q - "Is this restricted t o just scenic routes and main thorough f ares, or .will
it be in all neighborhoods"?

Mr. Gl a din stated it is res tr icted to the St reet Tree Plant i ng Zone along
Major Thoroughfares and Scenic Drives, as defined in the Ordinance, with the
Exeception of Section 10, which relates to the stripping of property over the
entire City.
From the audience - There are other places in the City that should also
be protected.
Q - "What is the definition of a major and minor street"?
Mr. Cook stat ed that a listing of these streets is available; that they
are streets, such as Pe achtree, Ponce de Leon, etc.
Mr. Gl a din further exp l a ined they are radials f rom the Central Business
District that link the expressway to the Central Business District and outlying
areas.
Mr . Cook stated they are based largely on traffic and width size.
Q - "Is there a section alre ady related to ex isting residences or is it
applicable to property if there is a house there or not?"
0
Mr. Cook stated it is relat ed to a ny residentially zoned property in so far
as the Tree Protective Zone is concerned.
The f ollowing p ersons the n spoke in support of t he Tree Ordinance:

A representative of the Tel ephone Company, who did not submit his name,
supported the position of the Georgia Power Company.
Warren Coleman, immediate past President of the Men's Garden Club of
Atlanta, spoke in support of the Tree Ordinance, as did Wadley Duckworth,
resident of North Atlanta; and Edith Henderson, Architect and Member of the
Atlanta Civic Design Commission.
Mr. Sam Massell, Vice-Mayor, asked Mrs. Henderson if she felt as an architect
that sidewalks must follow a straight line; that the Ordinance now prohibits trees
within five (5) feet of the sidewalk and that he was opposed to this and would
like her opinion.
Mrs. Henderson replied that she did not fee l tha t sidewalks should be in
a stra ight line; that the last place a tree should be is between the sidewalk
and the street. That she felt it would be desirable for the trees to be planted
on property off the sidewalk and arch over the street.
Mrs. Rascal Vernard, Garden Club of Georgia, and John Mixon of the Georgia
Foresty Commission, spoke in support of the Ordinance.
The matter was then referred to Executive Session.
0
In Executive Session, the Committee discussed the proposed ordinance which
had been re-drafted to delete the tree pl a nt ing program in addition to s eve ral
oth er change s as proposed by the staff (s ee draft "C") section by sec t ion suggesting t hat several a dditional changes be made. The maj or change as re commended
by Mr . Lyl e of the Ci ty Attorney's Of fice was that the Tree Protective Zone
apply to all city streets rather than just major stre ets since he fe lt that
under the police powers of the City this would be considered less descrimi natory
by the Court s.
The Committee gav e tentative approval to the ordinance s ubj e ct to the sugges ted changes b eing made by the staff with the a id o f the City Attor ney 's Offi ce,
with the re-drafted o rdinanc e being brought back t o the Committee for their
final approval.
Mr. Gladin presented each Committee member with a preliminary staff report
on the amount of vacant l and in the Ci ty of Atlanta by zoning districts. This
information was compiled for and furnished to the Hou s ing Resources Committee.
The report recommended a joint meeting o f these two Committees to examine the
City's housing policy.
There being no further business , the meeting wa s adjourned.

3. Set date for pub I ic hearing to consider petition for annexation.
Tom Shuttleworth of the departmental staff presented each committee member with
background material on this proposed annexation, explaining it involved 47 lots
located north of Jett Road. He pinpointed this on a map, and then certified to the
committee that the petition for annexation qualified for a public hearing under
the provisions for annexation as set forth by the Legislature and city ordinance and
requested a date for said hearing.
The Committee unanimously voted to hold said public hearing on Friday, July 21,
1967 at 2:00 P. M.
4. Draft revision to Tree Ordinance.

Mr. Mahony presented each Committee member with a copy of the latest revisions
to the Tree Ordinance. Chairman Cook commented it is substantially changed
from the previous draft and Mr. Harkness of the departmental staff has worked closely
with the Home Builders Association on the matter and has obtained their support, in
principle .
After a cursory examination, it was unanimously agreed that the revisions would
require further study, but that the Ordinance could be placed on first reading before
Council on Monday, July 3 and referred back to the Planning and Developme nt
Committee for further study and formal action. It was suggested that if any committee
member had any changes they wished to make in the Ordinance to pleas~ give them
to the staff prior to the Monday Council meeting. It was also agreed that in the interim,
a pub Iic hearing on the Tree Ordinance wou Id be held by the Planning and Development
Committee.

Also at the meeting were various representatives of the press.
The Chairman called the meeting to order and the following business was
considered:
Mr. Cook stated that the purpose of this meeting is to continue the discussion of the Community Improvement Program, which is to be completed
shortly. He then presented Mr. Candeub who stated that the following points,
which were raised at the last meeting, would be discussed in detail:
1.
2.
3.
Details of individual program sectors.
Priority system methodology.
Background material on development of land use allocations.
He then presented John Brown. Mr. Brown first presented a chart entitled
"Residential Construction by 1983". The chart showed the total number of
existing housing units in the City, based on a 1965 CIP field survey; total
inventory was also shown by standard and substandard units and the number
of new units to be constructed by 1983 was indicated. The projected housing
inventory for 1983 is 217,370 units - 121,470 white occupied units and
95,900 non-white occupied units.
Mr. Flanigen asked Mr. Brown how the housing projections had been derived
and did the consultants have a high and low projection of total city
population for 1983. Mr. Brown explained that this background information
was included fn previous ':co_nomic ·reports. He then presented a second

chart entitled "Residential Land Needed by 1983" and stated that his firm
has assumed one of the objectives of the City of Atlanta is to continue
to provide a large amount of land for detached single family dwellings.
He pointed out that one of the alternative program actions that might be
followed by the City is to decrease the amount of land that is being used
for medium density apartments and to increase the number of high density
apartment developments. He stated further that if present low and medium
density development trends continue there will not be enough land in the
City to accpmmodate the projected number of housing units. He stated this
was, of course, a policy decision to be made by the City of Atlanta.
Mr. Aldridge asked if these figures assumed any annexation by the City
within the time period, to which Mr. Brown stated they did not; that their
allocation is based on present land area, which is either vacant or to be redeveloped, within the present corporate limits.
Mr. Flanigen asked if it is logical to base the projection on the assumption
that no additional area will be annexed to the City.
Mr. Brown stated this was the only basis on which they could work; that it
is impossible to speculate on future bounds of the City.
Mr. Flanigen commented that if the city limits stay the same, instead of
getting high density development, people will move out of the city and the
population will not grow as much as Candeub has projected.
Mr. Brown stated if you propose to cont a in the population growth that is
projected a nd also carry out the program that is projected, this ratio,
or something similar to it, must be accommodated in the city.
Mr. F l anigen said the only way to do this would be to have tenements, which
Atlanta doesn't want.
Mr. Brown stated this is a policy dec ision for the committee' s consideration;
that they have done their program on the assumption that growth will be
contained .
Mr. Cook asked if there was any basis for the ratio of 40% low density;
40% high density and 20% medium density.
Mr. Brown stated there are two bases, one of which is the amount of land
available, including vacant land and land to be redeveloped. The total
projected units for 1983 were fitted into that land. The other base was
the economic study that showed certain types of units to be needed by 1983.
He stated these were very rough approximations but indicate a fairly large
need for high density units, based on the type of families that will be
living in Atlanta - families without children, an aging population and
other family characteristics which might require high density units.

Mr. Candeub stated they projected Atlanta as a complete regional center,
and in connection with that kind of growth in the future, that there
would be a substantial increase in the white collar population, the
executive category, and a large number of young people coming in, indicating a very definite, strong apartment market; that this is where
Atlanta will likely have its major growth in job types in the next decade
or more.
Mr. Brown exmphasized their projections are not binding; it is just one
way of accommodating the city's growth. A small continency of undesignated
land (2,700 acres) is available which provides flexibility for growth
in any of the three density categories.
Mr. Flanigen asked about the population figure per acre for 1983, compared with the data on the map.
Mr. Brown stated they had not computed this figure.
Mr. Flanigen stated he felt this was the problem; a projection has been
made but has not been tied in with the end of the time period; that he
did not see Atlanta getting the projected density because it would mean
slums, which Atlanta doesn't want.
•.
Mr. Brown agreed this was a good point of view to bring out and would
require a policy decision on the part of the City.
Mr. Candeub then made the following comments.
t
We have made market pro jections of growth and we have been getting a feed-back on a reloc a tion
analysis in terms of housing needs. The c i ty had certain land within
its boundaries. Certainly we can say these needs can only be met by
going beyond its boundaries by going into a policy of aggressive annexation.
On th e other hand, let me say that Atlanta will also have a responsibility
in meeting its relocation needs in the face of continued growth a nd that
i t ha s the resources and a policy to meet the housing needs by ut i li zat i on
of i ts r e sources. You have a number of elements to keep in balance.
The f a c t or of growth and where it will occur in terms of market consi derat i ons;
the fact or of r elocation in terms o f cont inued programs ; a quest i on o f
s ize of f amil i es and need in te r ms of what kind of housing can, wi l l
and s hou ld be bui lt. The ques t ion of sing le family housing or mult i family, high ris e i s a que st ion t hat has t o be looked a t differently
that has been done in the past . I n th e past, the high ri s e was built
as a tenement struct ur e t o hous e i mmigrant worke r s who came to the large
cities. It was bui l t as a l ow rental form o f trans i e nt housing which
was initially, or rapidly , became a slum. This pa tt e rn i s most typical
of the northeast and o t her parts o f the central are a of the U. S. What
we are talking about today is really entirely diffe rent because the typical
high rise is built for a different population and buiit on a different
order. It is built for people that can afford to pay a good rent; a low

land coverag e with a high level of fac i lities is incorporated, with
a dequ a te setbacks so that one building is not blocking another in terms
of li ght, etc. Certainly Atlanta has the power to erect the type res idence s it wants. We are not talking about the old type tenement st r ucture.
The new national figures from the census in terms of the effects of the
post-wa r birth rate indicate that we are now getting into a period where
you will have a lot of new family formations and you will have people
seeking apartments because they don't want the burden of free standing
housing. We feel the best manner in which Atlanta can maintain its character,
and we want Atlanta to have more single family homes, and in order to
get more single family homes in face of the total demands, instead of
utilizing the land area for g arden apartments exclusively, we are suggesting we want to hold more land for single family homes and the only way
to do this is to squeeze down on the garden apartment developments and increase the higher densities under strong controls. Otherwise, you will
have little land you are able to hold for single family housing. The
housing picture is a changing market picture in terms of population,
income and the demand of the kinds of people that Atlanta is drawing.
Mr. Gladin asked how to incourage this type of development activity;
"what is the route to follow?"
Mr . Candeub replied "not to permit a tenement type development". The
way to do this, he suggested, might be to go to a design control on high
r i se, which they recommended in the Design Report; perhaps establish a
minimum size on the lot.
Mr . Gladi n then asked "how do you solve the economics of high r i se deve lopme nt?"
Mr. Ca ndeub stated they are not trying to do all this at one time ; de nsi ty
patterns will have to be revised to allow high rise. You may have to
get int o zona l determinations, establ i shing a max imum density i n ce r tain
areas. The city has the powe r to draw t he line whe re it want s t o draw it .
You might have a hi gh dens i t y i n t he c e nt er a nd a lesse r dens ity on the
peripheral areas . The cycle is beginni ng to cha nge because th e population
figures are changing . It mi ght t ake time t o pr ove out our proj ections,
but they will be.
Mr. Cook stated "you mean by 1983 we will have a need for 31, 000 high
rise units when today we have 1, 000 which it took five years to fill and
some are still vacant".
Mr. Brown answered affirmatively, stating the smallest amount of land
was left for high rise (69 0 acres). This land will accommodate a large
number of housing units, which is another way to look at it.
Mr. Cook asked "will the city absorb this and will it be feasible by
1983 and if we do will it be slum development, or should we go on a real
strong push for annexation.
We would like your recommendations?
It is
�Minutes

not a question of dividing the acreage on a breakdown of percentages.
It is how you think it should be. There is the question of the contingency of 2,700 acres,"
Mr. Candeub stated if high rise developments become slum tenements, then
the City doesn't want any high rise, to which Mr. Cook agreed. Mr.
Ca ndeub in turn stated if you accept this as a premise, then we will
eliminate all high rise; that he is saying across the country we are
getting into higher densities in urban areas and the idea is to provide
it in a large building complex.
Mr. Cook stated he was not accepting that high rise, per se, is slums
but he would like to know the basis of the percentages; that he did
question the need for more high rise when we can't fill our present high
rise developments.
Mr. Candeub st a ted he was not saying it is good or bad. If you control
it it ca n be good. If you don't control it, it can be bad. This lies
within the power of control. The re is a ce rtain number of units that
will have to go into apartments when you project the t otal popula t i on
to 1983. We are saying you do have a choice of what density you wa nt
it in. This determination will dictate what is left for single family
housing. I have a preference f or high rise. I have discussed this probl em wi th many builders who tell me you cannot build quality into a garden
apar tme nt , whereas you c a n in high ri se because you have a di fferent
leve l of stand ards a nd maintenance. Agai n, th1s is a policy qu estion .
We are trying to put it into f ocus. Our obj ectives here is to create
op timum sp ace f or single family homes . Within the city's tota l envelope
o f need s, we have tried to maximize the amount of land available fo r single
family homes. We have also tried to be realistic and leave some l and not
categorized because we reali ze some land will not be developed, but for
the most part we are saying the city will have to make the decis i on as to
whe ther or not it will all be low rise, or will it b e balanced with some
high rise.
Mr. Gl adin said "you have desc ribe d the reasons why we should start seeking high rise. How do we -start a program of encouraging high rise and
how can this committee move in that direction?"
Mr. Ca ndeub stated that Atlanta has better builders than most other areas
he has seen and he suggested one way is to meet with the builders and
discuss problems with them.
Mr. Flanigen stated you have to consider the difference in rentals of high
rise and garden apartments.
Mr. Mahony cited one case in which a ·high rise was competitive with garden
apartments.

Mr. Howland pointed out that the building was a considerable distance
from the downtown area.
Mr. Cook asked Mr. Candeub "do you think Atlanta can handle 31,000
high rise units by 1983?"
Mr. Candeub replied "we see a market for it".
Mr. Brown stated that in order to continue land for single family, you
will have to change from low density to high density with 20% left over
for garden apartments.
There was a general discussion of each of the eight improvement sector
maps, with considerable emphasis on the Buckhead sector. It was generally
agreed that the treatment recommended for this sector was not reflective
of the high quality housing existing in the area.
Mr. Brown pointed out that factors other than housing conditions were
considered in the designation of treatment areas. As an example, he cited
traffic and street conditions. Following this discussion, Mr. Brown
then explained the priority system methodology. He stated one of the most
important features of the CIP program is what should be done first and the
only way to determine this was through the development of a priority
·rating system, which he explained as follows: There were five major
elements in the rating system, i.e., (1) social implications - areas
in which programs for improvement are presently needed to supplement
social action agency programs; (2) resource areas - where better utilization of land might relieve pressure for land resources; (3) relation
to public programs - the total program should be financed through the
building of public facilities which are presently needed by the city,
however, when you have a public program for which you do not get any sort
of federa l credit, you have a changing economy (example, auditorium complex) and this gives a further sense of urgency for treatment; (4) planning
objectives - a tool for carrying out the city's comprehensive plan through
the CIP; and (5) areas characterized by change - some areas, regardless
of whether they met any of the other criteria, were in need of immediate
attention.
Mr. Brown then discussed Ansley Park as an example of the priority rating
system, stating the neighborhood was measured against each of the five
elements and scored from O through 2 points based on each of the five
elements.
The Chairman thanked Mr. Candeub and Mr. Brown for their presentations,
and it was unanimously agreed that the Committee would meet again on
Friday, June 9 at 2:00 P. M, to discuss the fiscal and administrative
portions of the Community Improvement Program.

Hr . Gladin briefly explained that since the last meeting of this cormnittee,
staff members of the Planning Department, as well as staffs from other
city departments and various publi~ and private agencies, have been working
almost full time to put together the Demonstration City application; that the
ini ial dra:t was compiled about two weeks ago and around 100 copies were
distributed to these various staff members; that it was subsequently
critiqued and rewritten, not merely to cha,ge it, but for continuity and
to strengthen it and cover the areas which were missed, in that each
individual section was written by a group of people or individuals.
Regarding the budget phase of the program, Mr . Gladin explained this had
not been finalized, but staff members of the Comptroller's Office is
working on the ma tter in conjunction with the Finance Committee and the
final figu es should be ready by March 6. He specifically noted that the
en~bling Resolution did not mention any specific cost figures, but the tentative
estim&tions fo the total budget is around $600,000 - approximately $475,000
Federal funds and $120,000 City funds. He explained that the city's
local contribution did not represent a cash outlay, but present employee's
salaries, including those of participating agencies, will be credited against
the city's share.

departments , from other publi c agencies , and in one case from a private
agency . Hes ated further he was aware of the ot her city programs and
agre d they were v ital and impo tant, however, a problem at the moment
is t· e filling of job vacancies i n the Planning Department whi ch were
requested and created in the '67 Budget (5 profess ional planning slots
now open); that the Planning Department is u~dertaking a major recruiting
campaign to fill these jobs but this will take time; that when these vacancies
are occupied, it will provide a balanced staff and he felt the department
would be able to meet its co1J1Y.1itments in other programs . He emphas ized that
the majority of the work the City Planning S aff woul d be doing in
connection with the "Nadel City progra would normally be done anyway .
In response to specific questioning by Chairman Cook as to when the Land
Use Plan would be ready, Mr. Gladin stated he felt the July 1 deadline
could be met; he stressed however he did not mean it would be approved by
this time, but it woul be in a form that this com:ni ttee could a c t on it
and submit it to the Federal Government to substant i ate that the City has
met its requirements set forth in the recertification of Atlanta's Workab le
Program .
In a n swer to further questioning by the con:..'1littec, Hr. Gladin stated that
if subnission of this application for financial assistance is approved
and submitted to HUD, it will be around June before HUD will submit an
answe .. and in the neantime, the staff will have completed recertification
of the Workable Program.

Nr. Cook stated he agreed the Demonstration Cities prograra was important
a nd that he supported it, but he wanted some assurance that the basi c,
r egular day-to-day planning is accomplished; that if t h e answer is
a ddi~ional staff, then he would support it. Mr . Gladin reiteraced that he
felt if the existing staff vacancies could be filled, the departffient
could meet its corn:nitnents.

~r . Gladin sta cd t.at 1e had invited th Building Committee to attend
this 1.eeting so that both COIT.mi tee I s could jo intly discuss one problem
aspect of the 1967 Housing Code Corapliance Prog r2m - this being the
Planning Department 1 s basi c disagreement w"th Pa ·ag raph II. A. 4 and a
related Paragraph IV. E . 2 . , whic. pen its ~e abi lita t ion of sub standa rd
resident"al structur es in indus~ ially zoned area s. He stated that the
Planning Department real i zes substandard houses in industrially zoned
areas are a problem, but do not feel this is an acceptable answe r; t hat
the present wording of the paragraphs objected to would only postpone
solution of ·he problem . M_. Gladin explained that a cco rding to t he
Zoning Ordinance, construction of new residences is not permitt ed in the
M- 1 and cl-2 Industrial dis ricts and existing residences are classi£ied
non-con~orming uses; that to rehabilitate many of t1ese substandard
residences would require structural alterations which would be in violation
of the non-conforming provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and he is
opposed to he City supporting a policy of r ehabilitation i n these areas
which is in conflict with a city ordinance. He elabor tcd further that
if a st1.- ict interpretz. ion is made of the provisions of the po licy as
now written, which stat e s "provided he conmlies in fuil with all codes
end ordinance", (and he felt its· ould be e~forced with no dcvi2tion
whatsoever) , then in the mejority of the cases tle prop rty owner woul not
be allowed to rehabilitate ·at all ; that the Planning Department would like
these sections changed to require elimination of structures that have
deteriorated over 50 percent and not allow a developer the alternative of
repairing it u.dcr these circumstances; furthe , the Department proposes
thnt t'.1e non-conforming use provisions of the Zoning Ordinance should be
clarified and strengthened as soon as possible to permit a better resolution
of the entire problem.
Mr. Gl&din then gave a brief slide presentation of the types of structures
which have deteriorated beyond repair.

areas, sati ng that is study of o her zoning o _dinanc es in the

in this instance is a s hortage of ousing and whe r e t o put people

r . G~iggs expressed concern about razing structures and leaving
vacant land; e asked M . Wofford if he had a y personal knowledge
of a deman for this type of industrial land.
Mr. Woffo rd stated he idn ' t . Mr . Gladin stated in these types
of areas you have the problem of assembling land; further, that he
idea is to make strong residential areas and strong industrial £.reas;
that in order to develop a Land Use Plan, you must hav a strong
Zoning Orciinance with a strong non-confo·ming section and maximum
enforcement in order to implement this Plan . Mr . Gladin stated further
that if the particular vicinity i question is a good residential area ,
t ,en the zoning should be changed to reflec and encourage residential
developmen , but if it is a good industrial area, then residential
construction and rehabilitction should be prohibited; that no industry
will locate in the midst of slum co ditions - they have to be attracted
to clea , nice-looking areas; that he personally felt there was certain
industries in this area whic1 would poss::.bly expand if a house or wo
were torn dmm and land mode available; that he felt this was
a good po ential industrial area and its development as such should
be made stron 0 , but to co1tinue repairing these dilapidated houses 1vill
nerely prolong the situation.

Hr. Wofford stated that the areas in uhich he has had the most vigorous
co,~laints about dilapidated and substandard housing have been within
these industrial areas.
Bob Bivens, Executive Director of Central Atlanta Progress, Inc.
stated that the developrrent of the air rights property in the vicinity
of the Techwood and Hunter Viaducts area is arriving and will have
a profound affect on this area and in his opinion, it would be a
mista~e to prolong this low type of residential housing.

Regarding t he minutes of the De cember 14, 1966 meeting ( see page 3) Alderman
Flanigen reques t ed (by l etter o f J a nuar y 6 , 1967) that the f o l lowing
clarification be added regarding the di s cuss ion o f the $450 , 000 allocated
for the study of add iti onal housing units: He raised the question of
who was to guarantee this loan from the Federal Government and Mr.
Satterfield advised that when, as, and if a project was approved this
amount would be added t o the cost of that project, but he was rather
evasive on what would happen if no project was approved, but inferred
that it would not be charged to the City; in seconding the motion to
adopt the Resolution, Mr. Flanigen made it clear that this would not be
charged to the City.
Mr. Gladin gave a brief 35 mm slide presentation on the Demonstration
Cities Program and what Atlanta has done thus far to take advantage of it.

He stated it has been under consideration for the past six to eight
months and represents a logical extension of the Community Improvement
Program - the Demonstration City project being one of the first phases
of implementation. He also explained that the City had received the
official guide lines from the Federal Government and is now proceeding
with the preparation of an application for planning funds and it is
anticipated it will be completed and submitted to Washington by March l;
that if these planning funds are granted, it would then entail some nine
to twelve months to complete a final application for implementation
funds and would eventually require five years to complete the program.
There was a brief discussion about funds and it was pointed out that
ther e had be en no actual appropriation beyond the initial allocation o f
twelve million dollars for planning grants for fiscal '67.
'·
./
Mr . Gladin said that this program places major emphasis on citizen
participation and as a result, two neighborhood meetings have been
scheduled f or the purpose of presenting this program to the residents
of the proj ect are as; tha t Mayo r Allen will be conducting thes e presentations,
explaining the program to the people and seeking their support. Fur ther,
he stated that Mr. Johnny Robinson, under a Sterne Foundation Grant, is
working out of Dan Sweat's office and has the responsibility of publicizing
the program . This is in addition to cons i derable press and t e levis i on
cove r age. Mr . Gladin commented thi s progr am will a lso p lace more emphasis
on socia l rehabilitation than ha s eve r been done before a nd major effo r ts
made to rehou se t he people as they a r e d i spl aced by staging t he developments
(on a block-by- block basis i f necessary) so as to avoid wholesa le relocation ,
a s has been exper ienced in the past.
Mr. Sonnnervi lle stated he s upported the s ubmis sion of t he a pplication, bu t
he questioned the abi lity of the c ity planning staff , which he stated is
too slight as it is, t o submit an application within a six weeks period
that would meet the Federal guide lines - particu larly "innovation", on
which so much emphasi s is being pl a ced . He also made t he ob servation that
this program has been oversold na t i ona lly and he fea red it was in danger
of being oversold l oca lly; that he questioned great l y some of the statistics
shown on the slides and the choice of some wo rding being used in connection
with the program, particularly that Atlanta "expects" to be a model city.
He stated we have no basis on which to "expect" Atlanta will be one. He
reiterated his support of the application submission but again warned that
it was very dangerous f or the City to oversell what it was capable of
producing in so short a time.
l .,J
Mr. Gladin explained that the preparation of this planning application is
not restricted to just the city planning staff, but involves many agencies
whose staffs have been working on the matter for a year and the results
at this point do not merely represent a six weeks effort, but actually about a year and a half to two years. He also explained that it is not contemplated
there will be an additional large staff to implement this particular project,
�Minutes

but rather a smaller coordinating staff (5 to 6 people) working
directly out of the Mayor's office under a program coordinator who
will be responsible for coordination of all activities of the
responsible agencies involved,
The Committee agreed with the principle but raised the practical
objection as to staff availability.
Mr. Gladin e xplained that in developing the application, proposals
will be made for administering the program but at this point all
of these questions have not been answered.
Mr. Sweat r e- emphasized that it is only being requested at this point
to file an application for planning funds; that a massive amount of
research material has resulted from the CIP study and Atlanta has more
information from which to put together an application than any other
city, except perhaps those who have a completed CIP study. He suggested
that a copy of the complete program guide lines should be furnish ed to
the Committee members as soon as possible.
J
.. .J
.
Mr. Cook concluded by requesting that Mr. Gladin inform the neighborhood
residents that this program is still in the preliminary stages and that
funds were not yet available for executi on.
Colonel Mal colm Jones gave the f ollowing r eport in be ha l f of the
Housing Resour c es Commi ttee : The respons e to t he Mayor's Housing Conference
o f November 15 , 1966, calling for 16,800 additional low a nd med i um cost
standard housing units in Atla nta during t he nex t five years (9,800 by
De cember , 1968 ) has f ar exceeded the expect ations o f the Housing Resour ces
Committee. It has been announced by Mr . Cec i l Al exander , Chairman, that
51 separate proj ects have been propo sed or are i n execu tion, or completed;
9,311 units are completed , under construction , and / or proposed since
the Mayor's Conference. A breakdown of thi s t o tal was then given in
three categories as f ol l ows: 3, 963 units - probable; 1,540 units - being
considered; and 800 uni t s - doubtful . The 9, 311 t o tal includes 1,206
public housing units, 66 of which are being leased. In addition, 1,424
existing units are proposed for rehabilitation and of the 9,311 total,
1,652 units are estimated to be available during 1 67 and 4,075 available
during '68 so that there is now a total of 5,727 units in sight for the
next two· years. Colonel Jones then stated that in addition to the Chairman
and Co-Chairman initially appointed to the Housing Resources Committee,
Mayor Allen is now appointing additional prominent community leaders to the
Committee to serve on nine different panels - Legal, Construction & Design,
Financing, Non-Profit Funds, Public Housing, Land Acquisition and
Rehabilitation , Social Problems, Business Participation, and Public
Information; that an organizational meeting of the entire Committee is
scheduled to be held February 9 and details will be announced later •
Colonel Jones concluded by informing the Committee that Mr. William W.

Gates, . retired former Chief Underwriter for FHA in Atlanta, has accepted
an appointment as Special Advisor to the Housing Resources Committee
and will be available in the committee office in the City Hall each
Thursday to advise and assist builders and developers interested in FHA
programs; further, their Committee is trying to keep an inventory of
the different projects and proposals coming up and would appreciate
receiving any information on such matters. (Copy of Report attached).
Mr. Cook asked how many of the 5,727 units would be public housing,
to which Colonel Jones replied 2,406.
Mr. Sommerville asked how many units in Rockdale were included in the
three categories, to which Colonel Jones stated roughly 250.
Mr. Satterfield gave a brief resume of the time schedules on various
projects with statistics (Thomasville, McDaniel, Rockdale, etc.) and Mr.
Cook subsequently requested of Mr. Satterfield a chronological listing of
these projects with time schedules and that each member of the Planning &
Development Committee be furnished with a copy.
(_;
Mr. Gladin then gave each Committee member a Fact Sheet of the Nash-Washington
Urban Renewal Area, along with a letter from Mayor Allen, requesting
that the Pla nning & Development Committee r econsider its previous r e j e ction
o f a nd approve the submission of a Survey a nd Planning Applica t i on f o r the
Na s h-Wa shington Area in view of the progress t hat ha s been made in providing
housing and the future outlook. (Mayor Allen's letter contained supporting
sta t i s tics , as outlined by Colonel Jones' housing report).
At this po int , Mr. Gladin pointed out the need to select a name for the
pro jec t.
Referring to the Fac t Sheet, Pierce Mahony of t he departmental staff briefed
the Committee on t he Survey a nd Pla nni ng Ap pl i ca tion, covering the fo l lowing
ma j or points - Des c r iption, Goal s , Proposed Reuses and Improvements;
Methods and Pro cedures , Financ i ng , Op tion on Sewe r s , a nd Possibl e Sources of
Money.
He then stated the recommendations of the planning staff, a s outlined in
a memorandum to Chairman Cook, dated January 27, 1966. (See copy attached) .
_,I
There was a lengthy discussion of the Nash-Washington Project, including
the controversial location of the new junior high school and the major problem
of relocation. It was the tenor of the conversation that the Committee members
were very frustrated and disillusioned over time schedules that are
continually not met because of any number of delay s; that they were tired
of dealing with the people on promises and unless some better assurances
could be given the Committee (than had been done in the past) that housing
�[' .

Minutes

would be available to the people in this area, then they would be -reluctant
to approve the Survey and Planning Application. It was generally felt
that there was, however, a favorable trend in providing adequate housing
and this Committee would certainly not want to reverse or slow down this
trend.
Mr. Charles Hart, 807 Commodore Drive, speaking as a layman, expressed
his disappointment at ~ast efforts in this regard, but stated he too felt
the trend was favorable.
The Committee then gave tentative approval to the project, with the
tentative name - "Nash-Bans Project Area" - pending further discussion of
the project with area residents. The Committee stressed that evidence of
neighborhood support of the program will have to precede final approval of
the planning application request.
The Committee discussed a Bill to incorporate certain land adjacent to the
City of East Point. This review was made in response to Representative
Dick Lane's (of the 126th District) letter of J?nuary 12 to Mayor Allen
requesting comment on the proposal. Mr. Bill Bush was present in behalf
of the City of Atlanta Water Department. In reviewing maps o f Land Lot's 1
and 37 of the 14th District (consisting of 24 parcels) and noting their
relatio nship to the corporate limits o f both Atlanta and East Point, the
Commit t ee observed (1) that this area would provide one direction in which
the City of Atlanta might expand in the future; (2) one of the City o f
Atlanta's maj or water mains (approximately 1600 feet valued at $32,000)
supplying water to a large part of South Fulton County is located in Welcome
All Road which runs north and south through the area under consideration and
must continue to be maintained or be relocated by the City of Atlanta in
orde r to provide uninterrupted service to Fulton County.
Mr. Leftwich t hen moved that the Committee take a stand against passage
of the Annexation Bill. This motion was unanimously approved by the Conunittee
and Mr. Gladin was requested that this information be conveyed to the
Fulton County Delegation. (See attached sheet for additional action taken on
this matter).
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

�DRAFT
Chairman of the Fulton County Delegation
Dear Sir :
The Planning and Development Committee, at its January 27th meeting,
discussed a Bill to incorporate certain land adjacent to the City of East
This review was made in response to Representative Lane ' s (of the
Point.
126th District) letter of January 12 to Mayor Allen requesting comment
on this proposal .
3 7
the 14th District, which
consists of
c..4
parcels of land and noting their relationship to the
corporate limits of both Atlanta and East Point, I was asked to relay to you
the following three major observations~
1.
iiv-i;_<\:~-
That the area of uyincorporated Fu~ton County under consideration
was contiguous to Atlanta and East Point corporate limits, therefore,
this area would provide one direction in which the City of Atlanta
could expand in the future.
This consideration is important because
in order to maintain a healthy regional center Atlanta must have
~ capability of
2.
growth.
One of the City of Atlanta ' s major water mains supplying
water to a large part of unincorporated south Fulton County is
located in Welcolm All Road, which runs north and south through
the area under consideration.
Approximately 1600 feet of water
main, having~an esti~ated value of $32,000 must"" continued to
$..( ~&-c.J"~
be maintained~by the City of Atlanta in order to provide uninterrupted
service ~ o n County.

affected in such a choi cr.:
ute"ke "the ae~ision througn a relerendu;,
--t¾
~Jlt~L J...,
�DRAFT (continued)
3.
Atlanta, in the past, has taken the position of letting the
citizens affected in such a choice make the decision through
a referendum.
Therefore, the City of Atlanta feels that
regardless of the preceeding two conclusions, that no official
stringent objections would be made providing the delegation
choses to take this course.
