Dear Representative Carnes:

Tne Planning and Development Committee of the Board of Alde
a S January 27 meeting, discussed a Bill to incorporate certa
jand adjacent to the City of East Point. ‘This review was made
sponse to Representative Lance's (of the 126th District) letter of
nuary 12 to Mayor Allen requesting comment on this proposal.

rmen,

After reviewing maps of Land Lot 1 and 37 of the 14th District,
which consists of 24 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 of the Planning
and Development Committee:

‘l. That the area of unincorporated Fulton County under
dénsidevatioa Wag Gontiguous 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 considerstion is important because
in order to maintain a healthy regional center Atlanta
must have the capability of growth.

2. One of the City of Atlanta's major water mains supplying
water to a large part of unincorporated south Fulton
County is located in Welcome All Road, which runs north and
south through the area under consideration. Approximately
1600 feet of water main, having an estimated value of
$32,000 must continue to be maintained or be relocated
by the City of Atlanta in order to provide uninterrupted
service to South Fulton County.
Honorable Charlie Carnes ‘oan . February 1, 1967

3. Atianta, 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 preceding two conclusions,
chat no official stringent objections would be made _
providing the delegation chooses to take this course, and
providing the City of Atlanta's investment in water mains
in the area is protected,

Sincerely,

AY Ge PR QA
