Council Debates Golden Age Club, Police Board ·Expiration Date

by JacqueUne Lencbek and Dorothy Sucher A police inquiry board, a Golde'!! Agers Clubhouse and a num­

ber of pending lawsuits (see accompanying story) were discussed by the City Council at its regular meeting on Monday, Oct. 17.

Disagreement arose among the city council over an expiration date of a proP_Osed police inquiry board. Up for its second reading was a resolutiOn to establish a board of inquiry into the admini­stration, operation and public relations of the police department. It would consist of the five councilmen plus four citizens. The resolution as presented provides that the board be dissolved after the council takes final action on its recommendation.

However, Councilman Champion proposed to set a fixed termina­tion date for the board, such as June, 1967. He objected to the in­definite period because of the possibility that the inquiry might become an election issue, and be­cause it might have an adverse effect on the morale of the police force.

Coucilman Francis W h i t e pointed out that the ·city's stand­ing rules for committees require that an expiration date be speci­fied. Mayor Edgar Smith con­tended that the provision fOI' dis­solving the board after action had been taken eliminated the need· for fixing a termination date. Cbam­pioa then asked a legal opi~ion on this point.

Councilman Richard Pilski, who did not favor a termination date asked "what if something comes up then?" ·

All on the council agreed that they did not want to make the Inquiry a political issue. However, a motion to fix a date before the next city election resulted in a tie (pro: Champion and White; con: Smith and Pllskil. Council­mal) William Hoff was out of town.

Councilman Francis W h i t e brought up the need for recrea­tional facilities for the elderly, and Ed Wuermser, chairman of the eity's Advisory Planning Board <APBl, which has been looldng Into the matt~r, asked the council for further guidance. He stated that the board Is In som~ per­plexity regarding the priority the eouncil wishes to award to this project.

R~&ction was mixed, ranging from Pilski's impa8sioned state­ment that he considered the matter of vital urgency. to Cham­pion's reply that more would first havP to bP known about the sizr of thr facility npeded.

GH I Rejects Bids On Larger Homes

hy Rita Fisher The Greenbelt Homes Inc. Board

of Directors spent an hour with their attorney, AI Ginsberg, at the beginning of their meeting last Thursday night. Among the items discussed were the rezoning peti­tion for higher density on Parcel 15, the Golden Triangle, assigned parking, the school site and the special assessment on Hillside Road. This was a "Report to thr Board" type of discussion and no formal decisions were reached.

Jim Smith, chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee on :Larger Homes, reported that the committee had again met with the architect and discussed the need for further study on certain specifications. Smith reported the Committee's recommendation that all bids from builders <which were appreciably above expectations) be rejected and let out again around the first of the year. In the meantime, the architect would make a re-evalua­tion of certain findings and spcr.i­fications. The committ<'c also sug­gestPd that advertising for bids could be made on a wider basis. The Board voted to accept the recommendation and pnssed a mo­tion to do so. ~oard Director Clifford Simon­

Council Spotlight On Legal Business

. by Do_rothy Such~r Lawsuits, lawyers, and legal

costs were discussed by the City Council at its meeting on Monday, Oct. 17, In connection with several current land development cases.

The discussion follows the filing of appeals by the City of Green­belt, Greenbelt Homes Inc. tGHil and First National Realty, develo­pers of Beltway Plaza, against the ruling of Judge Ralph Powers, up­holding the commercial zoning of the "Golden Triangle". It is not yet clear whether the last-named party will be allowed to be a pro­per party.

Council voted Monday night to try to share IPgal costs with GHI by consolidating some of the pre­paratory work The appeals will remain xPparatr, howPvcr, and both the city and GHI will be rep­rrsPnted by their own lawyers.

Charlestown!' Co,·enants Councilman David Champion has

refused to participate in the city's appeal to tne Maryland Court of Appeals against the Circuit Court's··· decisions on tbe Charlcstowne Vit­lage covenants and agreements. When the city's attorney filed the appeal, he also filed a petition with the court on behalf of Champion requesting that he, as an indivi­dual, not be considered a party to the suit.

Cbampimi. criticized the hiring of the Baltimore ftrm of Ginsberg and Ginsberg as special counsel to handle the appeal, stating that the councilmen bad I)Ot actually met the lawyers and were relying too heavily on hearsay as to thdr qualifications.

Said Champion: "I'd like them to tell us in writing why they think we have a fighting chance."

Mayor Edgar Smith objected to &sklng the lawyers to disclose any "secret information" on thPir trial stratPgy.

GREEIBELT SUCCESSFULLY FIGHTS COMMERCIAL ZOIIIG 01 PARCEL 8

by Elaine Skolnik f. well-organized, highly articulate, two-hour presen:auo, by

the Greenbelt contingent highlighted the October 12 hearin" be­fore the county commissioners on a petition for commercial Z::mng oi parcel 8, presented by Crescent Leasing Corporation (Michnick, Solomon, and Associates, owner). As reported in last week's News Review, the zoning petition for the narrow strip 2.12 aerea between Kenilworth Ave. and Ridge rd., and north of Crescent rd., was unanimously denied by the county commissioners, sitting aa· the District Council. ·

Crescent Leasing had originally asked for C-2 (general commer­cial) zoning. The technical staff of the Maryland National Park and Planning Commission bad recommended substitution of C-1 <limited commercial), zoning and the Prince Georges County Plan­ning Board accepted this recom­mendation. At last week's hearing, Crescent Leasing indicated it would find C-1 acceptable. The land is presently zoned RPC 'rural-planned-community>.

A parade of witnesses, headed by the city's new zoning attorney, Emmett Nanna, the city's new plannPr, Malcolm H. Dill, Mayor Edgar Smith, City Manager James Giese, as well as representatives fi"Om Greenbelt Homes, Inc., Citi-7.rns for a Plahned Greenbelt, and floxwood Village, took issue with tho MNCPPC recommendations, and argued for retaining the resi­dential charactf·r of the area in ac­<"Ordance with the city's own Master Plan.

RPpresenting Crescent Leasing were lawyer Russell Shipley, ap­praiser Michael Hagen, and owner Simon Michnick. Their major argument for the C-1 zoning was the change in the character of the neighborhood as indicated by the dual highway and Kenilworth interchange, the nearby R-30 and R-18 <apartment) zoning around the lake, the new State Road's office building across the high-

At a hearing on Oct. 17, Prince Georges County Circuit Court Judge Ralph Powers turned down t!Jc County Board of Educatiort's request for dismissal of the com­plaint filed against it by Greenbelt Homes, Inc. GHI is seeking to re­strain the school board from con­structing a senior high school on parer! 2 ··- the land between the G HI properties and the Baltimore­Washington Parkway.

In overruling the motion for summary judgment, Judge Powers told the school board's · attorney Paul A. Nussbaum. that he had nn opportunity to demur withht thr next 10 days.

This is thr spcond rrqurst of the srhool board's to bP denied by the court.

Hagen spoke of the convenience to homeowners in having a near­by neighborhood shopping center which, according to current plans, would probably consist of four stores (including a Sateway Super­market). Such a center, he aald would not affect the value of homes. Later interrogation re­vealed that a C-1 ~oning would permit a gasoline station to lo on the property, if a special excep­tion were granted. L·•:

City Presents It11 Case Greenbelt's arguments agalns't

commercial zoning were many. City officials stressed the fact that the site is located at a principal · entrance into the center secttm of the city from super higbway!l. Mayor Edgar Smith observed that Crescent Road is unique in its scenic attractiveness. "For almost a mile. the street is thickly lined with trees to the extent that one feels he is in the woods rather than in the heart of a suhurb81l city.", he said. "Development along the greater part of this street on both sides has been such as to maintain a buffer !!triP of green. Over a half mile on· lbe south side of the road will beCOme City park land."

City planner Malcolm H. DlJI added that "It is vital to the wel• fare of Greenbelt that use of· the subject property will not be sueh as to induce unnecessary cypea and amounts of traffic In relatlon to the two· rather s"barp ~ curves, and also t,at it will con­tribute to, rather than· detract from. the attractiveness ant! dignity of this major entrance te the city."

Vlsllfll Exhibits City manager Jnmes Giese pre­

sented visual e'<hibits showing how commercial development could mar the appearance of the area. When questionP<l about the proposed city warehouse, Giese said that it would be located on lower ground, nestled out of sight.

Cliff Simonson, representing GHI, also emphasized the effect of commercial dPvelopment on the entrance. "We wish to preserve the one entrance," he said. "that still retains the physical and aosthPtic beauty of Greenbelt's oriJ(inal development." He noted that the citys Master Plan called for R-55 1 single-family) zoning In thi~ arrn.

Shoclced by Public Prayer I have just learned that the

leaders of Greenbelt Insist on · opening their public n";eetings with prayer. This Is shocking In a com­munity that was once said to "practice democracy with a ven­geance."

The Constitution of the United States separates church and state completely, though It was written at a time when far more people than now believed In supernatural powers and the need of prayer.

I certainly would not permit my grandchildren to go to school In a community that had people who wanted to force on others their ideas of religion.

I should also like to point out that thrr<' is something odd about t lw rr·iir,iosity of pPopiP who havt> to pt>rform thPir prayNs in publi<' and makP others pr('tend to sharP tll<'ir lJPiids.

Parcel ·7 After the Bulldozer The leveling of trees on parcel 7, which is adjacent to Box­

wool\ Village across from Greenbelt Lake Park, continues. Accor­ding to city officials who spoke to the excavator employed by the owners of the 8-acre tract (Charles Bresler and associates), the land will be stripped from road to road, with only few treea remain­ing on the city right-of-way. In addition, piles of excess dirt will be knocked down, broken concrete removed or buried, and rubber tires placed in stacks. No burning permits have been .requested.

Parcel 7 is bounded by Creaeent Rd., Ridge Rd., Ivy Lane and Last­nor Lane. The owners have peti·

· tioned for rezoning of the tract from R-55 (single-family) to C-1 (commercial use). Both the City of Greenbelt ·and the Maryland National Park and Planning Com· mission recommended denial of the request. No date has been set for a hearing before the county com­missioners.

On Oct. 12. the County Commis­sioners, sitting as District Council, denied commercial zoning o.n an adjacent tract, Parcel 8, which sits astride the entrance to the city from Kenilworth Ave. At that meeting, Mayor Edgar Smith ob­aerved that Crescent road is unique In Its scenic attractiveness, with Its thick line of trees. The District Council concluded that commercial zoning In this area was not in the public Interest.

The city reports that the County Bureau of Licenses and PermltB bas not received applications or Issued permits for construction on pe.rcel 7. Similarly, a staff member ot the MNCP?C told the NewA Re\'Ww that no plats or plans for the development of the tract have been received.

When contacted by the Nl'wtl J{(o\'l!lw, Bresler said his plans, from the start, were always for Commercial development He ad­ded that city manager, James K. Giese,. asked him to clean up the rt"fu"" dumped on parcel 7 and "we·r~ clranlng It up".

~ity Notes Instructions to the contractor

clearing parcel 7, land owned by Charles Bresler at the entrance to Boxwood Village, arc so far the only clue to future plans for· the development of that area: "Clear away all the trees fron\ road to road in both directions." Only a few individual trees, claimed by the city along the Crescent Rd. right-of-way, still remain along that street. But as of early this week, rw building permits had been requested for that site, and no application had been made to the city for burning off trees. The city has received many calls from Boxwood residents, expressing their dismay at the dpmdation of the land.

Almost double the previous am­ount of smoothseal paving is being done In this year's program of rc· pair to city streets. Performed by the Conlee Corporation of Laurel, Md., paving of Lakeside Dr. has already been completed, as well as all the cul-de-sac streets in the Lakewood subdivision. Hillside, Woodland Way, and Forest Way were to be paved this week. Fol­lowing those streets. Crescent be­tween the firehouse and Lastnet· Lane, Ccnterway ,and Hamilton Place will also b~ resurfaced. In­cludl'd In the same program will be a piece of new pavement--an area 40' by 7~' to be drvclopcd for basketball ancl vollry ball at the Lake Park. This area hns already brl'n excavatt>d and gr,.ded by thr city crew. ·

Leaf collections officially began last Saturday. A three-man crew worked overtime hours on Satur· day to operate the ll'af vacuum. For the next few wrcks, the Lit· tor Glttrr wil probably oprrate on flaturdays, and on Mondays and TU<•IIdays, It neci.'S88.ry. All ll'aves must be plied within 10 fl'l't of the roadway.

by Mary Smith No date has been set for a hearing on the suit filed last spring

by Prince Georges County agains~ First National Realty, owners oi the Beltway Plaza Shopping Center. A possible solution to the bone of contention, the eroding embankment near Klein's store, has been recently proposed by the realty company; this solution may or may not be acceptable to the county.

The suit alleges that the cla7 embankment adjacent to Klein's <next to the County Board of Edu· cation School bus depot> Is so steep that It Is In danger of col­lapse, and that the retaining wall supporting It Is Inadequate. Tbe embankment wu once complete17 sodded, but much of the !OOddiar haa disappeared; erosion has taken place and now certain parts of the embankment are perpendicular. In the opinion of the county building Inspector, th!! danger of a DUUJBive landslide increases with each rain• fall.

In the opinion of Sidney Brown. president of First National Realty, the sloping embankment Is "nol. dangerous nor a hazard to any·' one." This. he says, is the finding of a structural engineering firm hired by him to study the problem. The firm, (Michael Johns) baa designed a means of handline water which accumulates on the school property above the slope and then runs down · the slope, causing silting and erosion.

The method proposed by the firm would Involve two steps: first, the angle of the slope woul4 be decreased by cutting It back at the top on school boanl properey <the aebool. board has alreadY ap­proved this) and second. culverts would be run down the slopes Into drains at the bottom. and the em• bankment would be re-seeded. The First National Realty plans to 4o this work next spring, wbea weather conditions will be favor­able.

A meeting between the two parties in the suit will be arranged soon; If an agreement Is reached, presumably the suit wiD be dropped.
