Tight Controls Urged
For ‘Leisure World’
Organized citizens of the community which would be
most affected by construction of the unique self-contained
community for the elderly proposed here welcome it as a
netehbor but feel strict controls should be placed on its
development.
Members of the Manor Club
Community Association who
live opposite the site named in
plans for the Rossmoor Corp.'s
“Leisure World’’ to be occupied
solely by persons 52 and older,
went on record with their views
at a meeting Thursday.
Although their zoning com
mittee chairman, H. Hughes
Spragins, had recommended
they oppose location of the re
tirement community across
from their own on Georgia Ave
nue at Nor beck Road, members
failed to follow this line after a
detailed presentation of plans
by Rossmoor representatives.
They heard attorney David
Macdonald, who filed Ross
moor’s application for an
amendment to the text of the
county’s zoning ordinance to
permit construction of “planned
retirement communities" in all
areas where two- or half-acre
residential zoning prevails, pre
sent Rossmoor's proposals.
Colored slides of other com
munities the firm has built in
California, as well as architect
ural renderings of the proposed
local project, highlighted the
presentation.

tive stockholding setup.
In discussion following the
preview, Spragins criticized the
route Rossmoor has chosen to
! obtain permission to build. As
filed by Macdonald, the applica
tion would make proposals for
j "planned retirement communi
-1 ties” subject only to review of
the Board of Appeals as a spe
cial exception.
He said he didn’t think It
‘ appropriate to pass on to the
1 Board of Appeals authority for
such a vast development,” and
argued site plans should be
subject to review by either the
county’s Department of Inspect
ion and Licenses or the Mont
gomery County Planning Board,
local arm of the Maryland-Na
tional Capital Park and Plan
ning Commission.
Spragins also won support of
members in urging language of
the proposed text amendment
be clarified and made more re
strictive, “to protect the coun
j ty.”
Macdonald, in turn, argues a
I special exception such as the
one Rossmoor seeks “gets more
controls under Board of Ap
peals review” than the alterna
tive of an entirely new zoning
category would.
“The Board of Appeals has
the authority to say it doesn’t
approve of the site plan pro
posed. It can attach reason
able conditions to the special
i exception,” he noted.
He emphasized that similar
I conditional zoning by the Coun
jty Council has been ruled In
valid in two Court of Appeals
decisions.
Spragins argued against the
“complete reversal” of previous
opposition by Manor Club resi
dents to high-density develop
ment in their area. He said
that welcoming the community
for the elderly will open a
neighboring site to not only
high-density development but
also to commercial develop
ment.

| To Be Aired
{ Emory H. Niles, chairman of
the Maryland Judicial Selection
Council, has announced that a
series of meetings will be held,
covering every judicial circuit
! in the state, to acquaint lawyers

I posed plan for improving Mary-;

tenure of judges.
* The contemplated Niles Plan ;
has two main features: Judicial
| appointments are to be made
j from a list presented to the Gov-1
ernor by a non-partisan nomina-:
ting commission, and after a!
I probationary period of service, |
' or upon expiration of his term j
' of office, the judge runs only
| against his record, and not 1
against one or more competing
candidates.
