Berry Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Office of the Mayor 206 City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 RE: Proposed Play l ots Dear George: In my r ece nt lett er to you I was somewhat concerned as to the possible land acquisition costs for three playlot sites . In the past few days I have unc overed two pieces of property that could very well be developed into usefu l and attractive playlots. One is a property already dedicated to the Parks Department in the West End Urban Renewal area locat ed at White Street and Rose Circle . The other is located in the Lincoln Homes area which would be dedicated to th e City if d e v e lopment wa s ass ured . Thus, no l and costs wo uld b e involved, a nd if spare funds were left over after development, maybe a less expe n s ive p r operty could be boug ht s uch a s the Peoples Street property, tentat ively appra i sed at $6,000.00. We h ave a lready received requests to develop the first two as they would serve heavily populated ne i ghb orhoo d s . As I previously mentioned , we would endeavor to d es i g n and cons truct the play l ots to serve as models for a future citywide playlot construction program, including s uch i tems as landscaping, hard s urface courts, li g hting, as wel l as protective walls or low f encin g where p lay l ots abut streets. We are real ly anxi o u s to design and build some playlots wh e r e we are not hamstrung for lac k of f und s. May I hav e yo ur opi ni on con cerning the above. Sincerely, £~~ A. P.
