Dear Mr. Dehn:
In response to your letter of May 13, 1960 to Mr. John Gran, the questions
stated are answered as follows:
1. The new Johnson Senior High School will be located on the site
now being acquired in the area west of Arcade and Walsh Streets.
(Walsh Site)
2. Your tentative schedule for aquisition and possession of this
site by the City on November 1, 1960 seems proper. Tentative
plans are for construction of building to start early in 1961
and for completion by December, 1962.
3. Preliminary plans now indicate that the building will be located
at the east end of this site. This location is subject to change
as planning studies progress.
4. The Board of Education is not contemplating expansion of this
site. Although more acreage would be desirable for this size
school, there are no funds available for site expansion at this
time nor in the foreseeable future.
Although this site presents a bit of difficulty due to the close proximity
of residential and commercial developments on three alley boundaries, the
poor location, availability, acreage, and /or soil conditions of other
possible sites made the Walsh Site the only logical selection for this
school.
We appreciate your attention to our school site problems, and Mr. Gran or
I will be present at the hearing on June 2nd at 10 a.m.
Sincerely,
r
