Request for preservation of the 6 acres of historic land currently pending development by Pulte Homes, in the Providence subdivision at the corner of Queen Mill Rd. and Veterans Memorial Hwy (Mableton, GA, USA).

Gentlemen,

Below is a request for signing a Petition saving a section of the River Line earthworks and attached is the newsletter from the Georgia Battlefield Association.
1. One of the Providence residents created a petition to save the 6 acres.

Please distribute this link quickly to prepare for the Oct 17 BOC zoning hearing. Our clout with Pulte and the Board of Commissioners increases with the number of signatures.

2. Attached is a new site plan for Providence. According to the source, Pulte planned to file it with Cobb County today. They show the two forts and trench on the plan with only 25' buffers, which is totally inadequate as the county traditionally requires 50', and we are not able to determine their measuring technique from this site plan. The viewshed will be degraded by all the clear-cutting and mass grading worse than Shoupade Park, which has 50' buffers.
We need to keep the pressure on.
