Ross Arnold Arnold & Cate 904 Standard Federal Savings Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Re: Banl<l1ead Housing Development-Land Lot 267 Dear Mr. Arnold: At your request, this is to confirm in writing that the Department of School Plant Planning and Construction of the Atlanta Public Schools has been working with you in an attempt to plan for necessary additional school facilities which will be generated by your proposed housing development on Bankhead Avenue, N~ W., between Carroll Drive and the Chattahoochee River . The nearest elementary school is the Mayson School. It is a small schoo:J., and to make matters worse s two thirds of the building was burned last spring. Construction is now under way to rebuild the school , and it · is expected to be completed by February. Its size, however, is such that no additional students should be assigned to the school. This means that a new school will be required because of your housing project. j We discussed possible sites adjacent to your proposed development. We have examined nearby property presently zoned R-4 and feel quite sure that an adequate school sit e can be purchased ·in that area. The gas main which runs through som~ of this propertyis of some concern to us. I believe you have plats sho,ving the exact location of this gas main. I f you have such information, this department would greatly appreciate a copy of such a plat. The high school situation is also overcrowded in this area . The nearest school t o your propo sed development is Harper High School. This summer, however, the Douglass High School will open, and this facility should completely relieve Harp er High School for ne..x:t year. It is probable, however, that an addition will have to be scheduled for Harper High School. ~ This department wishes to eA'J?ress its appreciation for your cooper.1tive spirit and your consideration of school needs of. people . Sincerely yours, 'U ~" { >-<~ 1 { , '-..) . 1J.1..,-.-•\..-<\.. <:.,,l_ Darwin W. \voma ck Assistant SupCl.' .i.n t.~ud~~n t D\v'W: pu cc: !vl r. Cecil Thornton ) 30J 0 .3 t (· �
