Alpharetta's new City Center plan needs to take into consideration many issues.  Importantly, the preservation of as much of our natural beauty as possible.  Walk the proposed site and you will notice some spectactular old trees including a healthy Southern Red oak located behind the Publix where the parking lot is slated to be constructed.  This tree is absolutely magnificent, majestic and a living sculpture will be lost forever. The purpose of this petition is to preserve as much natural green space as possible for the future of Alpharetta.
