Apartment Units OK’d By Council The see-saw status of apartment development in Montgomery County tilted up and down this week as the County Council, await ing restatement of apart ment zoning plans by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commis sion, decided 29 zoning cases. Some apartment zoning re quests were approved, some de nied, and some deferred. Among those grantd was an application by Isadore M. Gul desky, owner of Contee Sand and Gravel Co., for R-30 zoning of 27.3 acres fronting on Geor gia ave. and the Glenmont- Colesville rd. He plans 400 apartment units there. Denied was an application by John E. McKeever, agent for Sam Eig, who had hoped for permission to build apartments on one acre at Washington ave. *nd East-West hwy., Silver Spring. The McKeever application is in an area where zoning tur moil led to the defeat of a can didate for Democratic precinct chairmanship last week. The voters didn’t want any more apartments. Meanwhile, J. Newton Brew er, chairman of the Montgom ery County Planning Board, told the Council Tuesday that the restatement of apartment policy they awaited in reality was merely a technical staff re port, and not a formally stated policy of the Commission. Zoning applications granted by the Council Tuesday were for three-quarters acre in R-30 (3000 square feet) at Glen brook and Fairfax rds., Bethes da; 7600 square feet from R-60 to C-l at 6104 MacArthur blvd.; 1.7 acres from R-60 to Indus trial-1, in Lyttonsville, North of Grubb rd„ Silver Spring; four tenths of an acre from R-60 to R-20 West of Lyttonsville in dustrial rd., North of Grubb rd.; 5.7 acres from R-60 to C-l at Southwest corner of Aspen Hill rd. and Connecticut ave.; 16,000 square feet from R-60 to R-20 on Frederick ave., Kensington; 2.9 acres from R-60 to C-2 at Connecticut, Farragut and Du pont aves., Kensington. Denied were 1 % acres from R-60 to R-10 at Coleridge dr. and Ellis st., Silyer Spring; 9.6 acres from R-A to R-20 East of Georgia ave., South of Bel Pre rd.; 1.2 acres from R2O to R-10 , at University blvd. West and St. Paul st.. Silver Spring. The Council also ordered its staff to prepare a resolution denying an application for R-90 zoning of 75 acres of land in R-A zoning South of Bel Pre rd. and East of Georgia ave.; resolution to grant R-90 zoning of 28.4 acres now in R-R zoning North of the proposed extension ' of Rt. 29, West of Northwest Branch, Kemp Mill Estates.

Peter Grant Photo. ; In Rockville Law On Drainage Is Sought Rockville will ask the gen eral assembly next year for the power to levy storm drainage taxes by districts. The legislative reform was proposed as a method of more equitable payment for storm drainage in the city. If passed, the amendment to the 1955 home rule bill would affect every municipality in the State. The Montgomery County Delegation to the General As sembly will be asked to intro duce the bill, which will carry the endorsement, it is hoped, of the Maryland Municipal League. Basically, the new tax levy would do this: abolish the re strictive front-foot benefit tax which pots te cost of a project serving a whole area on just the people whose property abuts the project. Also, it would stop levies of taxes to cover debt service on bond issues and nar row the field of taxation to the specific storm drainage district involved. When the General Assembly in 1955 passed the home rule bill, it cautiously added safe guards so small cities wouldn’t go hog-wild adding new taxes for revenue. One of those safeguards was the proviso that Maryland Mu nicipalities could not impose new methods of taxation not then in existence.

The legislative proposal comes at a time when Rockville stands on the threshold of vast new water and storm drainage pro grams designed to keep pace with constant expansion. It would have direct effect on storm drainage proposed for the Croydon Park, South Washing ton st. and Rockerest subdivi sions slated for storm sewer relief. A little more than $700,000 has been earmarked for these projects.
