September 10, 2006 Save North Park and Preserve our Community Petition To the attention of City of Alpharetta Mayor, Council members, and Parks & Recreation Committee members: We respectfully request that you carefully consider the attached petition, which can found on www.savenorthpark.com, regarding the proposed John Smoltz Alpharetta Baseball Complex (JSABC). While many people support baseball, youth sports and the positive aspects of this proposal, at the same time we have many concerns with what has been presented. City of Alpharetta (COA) residents and taxpayers, City of Milton (COM) residents and taxpayers, as well as the non-residents who work and commute in the Windward/Cogburn/Hwy 9/Hopewell/Bethany corridor will all have to deal with the consequences of this proposal. The content within this petition reflects many of those concerns. We ask that you require more details than the promoters have provided, and that much thought be given to the impact of this proposal. Independent studies by unbiased parties should be obtained. Additionally, broader public comment should be allowed in order to accommodate all the concerned residents who wish to be heard. City of Alpharetta
