ATLANTA REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION
The first order of business to come before the Planning Commission
was that of the Atlanta Real Estate Association, Land Lot 591,

The decision on this property was postponed from the April 8,
meeting pending information from the Cobb County School Board.
Bob Burchfield reported that he had talked to Mr. Mathis from
the Cobb County School Board. Mr. Mathis said that they would
prefer the O.D. that the rezoning would alloy,, rather than the
apartments that the present zoning would allow. He also made
two requests:
(1) That the City would not allow hazardous materials to
be stored on this property.
(2) That the owner erect a fence between Hawthorne Elementary
School and any buildings on said property.
After discussion, C. E. Camp made a motion to recommend to Mayor
and Council this property be rezoned from RM-12 to O.D., provided
that the:site plan meets all city regulations, that there is
seventy-five foot building set back lines from all existing
road rightways, and also that the existing owner dedicate as
