penalty for rape. The volum

Is Appointed
Top Planner
Orderly planning “to pre
serve some order in the land
scape” of Montgomery Coun
ty has occupied the new plan
ning director of the Mary
land-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission
for more than 10 years.
John S. Hewins, whose promo
tion from acting planning direc
tor was announced last week in
conjunction with release of rec
ommendations of a special com
mittee for revision of the pro
posed General Plan, feels this
county is “well-advanced” in fu
ture land use planning.
“The commission’s Year 2000
Plan was described at the recent
meeting of the American Insti
tute of Planners in Milwaukee
as the best approach to solving
the problems of sprawl for any
metropolitan area at this time,”
Hewins recalls.
Except for San Francisco, he
added, he knows of no area
where answers to the problems
of transportation have been
written into a land blueprint to
to the extent they are in the
proposed general plan.
“If rapid rail is to come, and
if we’re to see increasing use of
our other transportation arteries
—the backbones of our corridors
—we’ve got to plan for it,” he
says.
Questioned on details of revi
sions to the proposed general
plan taken under advisement by
the commission, Hewins con
firmed that desired population
goals for the outlying com
munities of Damascus, Olney
and Poolesville have been sub
stantially increased.
“Planned optimum size” of
Damascus and Olney has been
doubled, to about 13,700 and 22,-
000 population, respectively,
Hewins said. Poolesville, which
was planned for "almost no”
substantial growth before, now
is slated for some 35,000 persons
by the year 2000.
The ÜB. Interstate Route 70-S
corridor city of Germantown, by
contrast, would have its year
2000 population projection dras
tically slashed under the pro
posed revisions from 120,000
people to 60,000.
Earlier plans for high-density
apartment buildings along the
Potomac River near Cabin John
similarly would be rejected, in
line with the county’s new policy
of protecting the Potomac Pali
sades from intense development.
Considerable widening of
areas earlier marked as “green
spaces”—principally along a belt
stretching north from the Poto
mac, another stretching south
from the Patuxent River on the
north, and a third wedge be
tween the two streams of Rock
Creek around Olney—is noted
under the proposed revisions.
Hewins feels the county’s ex
isting two-acre zoning category
can do the job preserving open
spaces “if we have it more wide
spreadly applied than it is to
day.”
Abandonment of a five-acre
zone planned to provide massive
commute to life Imprisonment
the death sentence.
Knapp has conducted Inde
pendent investigations of other
local Issues in the past, partic
ularly with regard to county
planning.

Insurancemeri*s Group Says:
Homebuyers Have Freedom
To Place Own Insurance
Mortgage companies cannot
legally require homebuyers to
buy insurance from their firm
or from an insurance firm or
agent of their choosing, it was
pointed out this week.
To do so, it was declared by
the Montgomery Association of
Insurance Agents, is a violation
of the anti-trust laws.
Many people when they buy a
home do not realize they can
place their hazard insurance
with the company of their
choice, the group said.
And sometimes, they added, a
tie-in of this kind prevents the
borrower from obtaining the
proper coverage available to him
through other insurance agen
cies.
If the homebuyer does not ex
ercise his right to place his in
surance independently, the coun
ty insurancemen pointed out, he
may do so on the anniversary
date of his policy or upon the
expiration of existing insurance.
A 30-day notice to the mort
gage company to give them the
opportunity to investigate the
solvency of the company of your
choice, and its ability to service
the policy, is all that is required
of the borrower, the group said.
The mortgage company, it
was emphasized, is permitted to
require that the insurance on
the property be written by a
company acceptable by them so
long as the standards of ac
ceptability are not unreason
able or discriminatory.
The borrower should be cau
tioned. however, that if he fails
to have a copy of the policy
placed with his mortgage corn
wedges of undeveloped property
is “implicit” in the proposed
revisions, Hewins added.
Hewins, 41, started with the
planning commission in 1950 as
a cartographer consultant. He
become a research planner in
1953, moving up to the position
of chief of the research branch
in 1955.
From 1959 until the forced
resignation of planning director
Arthur K. Stellhorn last May,
he was the commission's chief
of master plans. As acting
planning director since then,
he has supervised formulation
of the staff recommendations
for revision of the land use
plan for the entire county pre
sented last week.
Hewins is a graduate of the
University of Michigan, where
he majored in geography, and
holds a master’s degree in
urban geography from the Uni
versity of Maryland. In addi
tion, he has completed all
course and language require
ments for a Ph.D.
He is a veteran of four years
of Coast Guard service during
World War 11, and has taught
cartography at the Universities
of Michigan and the American
University.
Active in community affairs,
he belongs to the American
Institute of Planners, the Re
gional Science Association and
other professional groups. He
is a member of the advisory
board of the Prince Georges
County Mental Health Study
Center.
Married to the former Doro
thy Crane, he is the father of
four school-age children. The
Hewins live at 343 Scott Drive,
Silver Spring.
pany within a reasonable time,
the mortgage is then permitted
to write or place hazard insur
ance on the property for their
own protection.
