Zoning Requests
Up By One-Third
Sentinel Reporter
Eight applications for high-rise apartments were
among 96 zoning requests filed before Friday’s semi-annual
deadline.
Total number of zoning re
quests increased by almost
onethird over the 74 applica
tions filed before the previous
deadline. Some of them were
holdovers from the spring,
possibly anticipating a change
of policy by the new council
which took office Tuesday.
More than one-third of the
applications were submitted on
the last day prescribed by law
for filing such requests. Hear
ings will start after the first of
the year.
Largest of the high-rise tracts i
to be considered is one planned
by Lawrence L. Levin on 109.6
acres on MacArthur Blvd. op
posite the David Taylor Model
Basin. The area is now zoned
“agricultural residential.’’
Levin requested either R-H
(high risei or R-20 rezoning.
The latter would permit 20
apartment units per acre. Op
position to high rise apartments j
there is expected in view of last '
week's denial by the old council I
of a similar request on MacAr
thur Blvd. near Cabin John.
Another large tract of 25.8
acres was requested for high J
rise apartments by Community
Builders on the west side of j
Wisconsin Avenue, south of
Dorset Avenue, Bethesda. The
land is presently zoned for
single family homes.
Developer Isreal Bimblich,
who has several apartment de
velopments in Montgomery 1
County, filed for two more, both
in Kensington. One would be
located on the north side of
Knowles Avenue between Sum
mit and Howard Avenues on 4.4
acres, and the other on 17,000
sq. ft. at Warfield Street and
Brainard Avenue.
Among his present high-rise
projects are the Kensington
House, a nine-story edifice on
Kensington Parkway, the Dau
ville, Sherwood and Wedge
wood.

James J. Lynch, treasurer of
the WSSC, said after the meet- 1
ing that the WSSC has been
aware that some recommenda
tions were coming from Briggs. \
He said the WSSCs function in .
the refuse collection and dis- ,
posal field “has been left open
in the budget because of the
uncertaintiy of just such a rec
ommendation.”
“We (the WSSC) will more
than likely be meeting with
the Council on this nuttier be
fore we hold our budget hear
ings,” he said.
Acting on another major
recommendation, the Council ‘
moved to tighten the personnel
strings by freezing 113 fulltime
county positions because most
have been unfilled during this
first half of the budget year.

Immediately places unexpended

“The placing of these funds
in reserve does not mean that
needed personnel will not or
cannot be secured,” Briggs said
in his comments to the Council.
“Since most of these posi
tions iiave been vacant since
they were authorized and
departments have been oper
ating for five months with
these positions vacant, it is
reasonable to require re-justi
fication for these positions
before they may be filled,” he
said.

ter for further study brought
sharp reaction from an official
of the company now under con
tract to supply the system.
An official of National flash
Register Co., who asked that
lie not be Identified, pointed
out that “both parties we
and county representatives
have signed a contract In good
faith.”
He said his company already
has made plans to assign a sys
tems man to the County’s of
fices “to begin working with de
partmental officials.” The sys
tem is to be delivered Feb. 1,
1964.
He said the contract price,
which includes the salary of the
resident engineer, amounts to
$6,700 a month or almost $90,000
a year. The electronic device
would be used to handle pay
roll, library, accounting and
other bookkeeping procedures.
Briggs recommended de

tion of such a system can be
re-examined.”
He pointed out that both the
school system and the WSSC
have computers. “The question
as to the need for three com
puter systems, each operating
on a limited basis, should be
thoroughly examined.” he said.
He also suggested that steps
be undertaken to retain expert

approvel is given to the center.
Other Briggs recommenda
tions and Council action:
• Deferral of a suggestion
that the county market $15,740,-
000 in authorized bonds to await
a Monday meeting with the
county’s bonding agents. The
agents are to advise the Coun
cil on the legality of transfer
ring some of these bonds to
other projects.
Included in the total amount
are sll million in Board of Edu
cation bonds, $2.3 million in
road bonds, $1.7 million in In
cinerator bonds (Councilman
Indicated this amount may be
better used elsewhere in the
light of the stop order on the
incinerator project), $600,000
for capital projects other than
roads, and $140,000 for the
Rockville Fire Department.
• Authorized a mid-year re
view of the county's current op
erating budget, ostensibly to
educate the new council mem
bers on budgetary procedures.
1 • Deferred until next week
selection of an auditing firm.
| Briggs suggested the selection
“at the earliest possible date.”
• Heard County Manager Ma
son Butcher explain that
another recommendation, re
submission for Council study of
all capital projects authorized
but not yet under contract, is
! standard procedure.
: • Approved continuation of
1 planning on all capital projects
■ currently in the design stage.
’ (The Council can kill any of
! these easily by fallng to make
■ the necessary construction alio
i cation.)
• Adopted a budget calendar
' to cover the mid year review.
