Dear Mr. Farris:
The home owners in the Northwest portion of the city are deeply con-
cerned over the application for another hospital located on Northside
Parkway above West Paces Ferry Road. We have voiced our opinions and
desires before the zoning committee at the public meeting concerning
this application last week. We want each member of the aldermanic
board to know of our concern and interest in keeping this area for
residential use.
Having listened to planning and zoning problems for more than ten years
and having professional training in land planning, I very firmly believe
that this property under consideration should remain as an integral part
of this very fine residential area of outstanding homes. It is very
distasteful to me to have the proponents imply that a change of zoning in
that area is inevitable, that it would be best to arbitrate at this time
and to accept the proposed application, as the City Aldermen would
definitely change the zoning on this property. I know the City Aldermen
are not subject to this type of reasoning.
The only reason neighborhoods deteriorate is because we let them. Where
we maintain high zoning standards, good building practices, citizens
interested in maintaining their neighborhood, residential zoning lasts
for centuries. This particular property of 64 acres is surrounded on
three sides by large, fine homes. The fourth side is Northside Parkway.
It is densely covered with tall pine and hardwood trees and a heavy under-
growth of native shrubbery, including azaleas and dogwoods. No other
area is more ideally suited for beautiful home sites.
We who live in the neighborhood are confident that you will assist us in
maintaining this area for residential use.
Sincerely,
CCF:cm Charles C. Ford
