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.

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

staff to prepare a resolution

zoning of 75 acres of land in
R-A zoning South of Bel Pre
rd. and East of Georgia ave.;

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. This is the

section that must be amended
if the Rockville-s ponsored
amendment is to succeed.
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.
Meanwhile, (he Mayor and
City Council decided Tuesday
night to go ahead out of general
fqunds and construct emergency
storm drainage relief for the
Park rd. underpass of the B & O
Railroad. This area floods every
time a good rain falls.
