Bacas Denied Petition
For Apartment Zoning
Of Chevy Chase Tract
The Montgomery County commis
sioners yesterday denied the con
troversial petition by John H. Bacas
for apartment house zoning of ap
proximately five acres at the inter
section of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad and Jones Mill road, just
north of the Farmington subdivision
in Chevy Chase.
The petition was one of 10 re
jected by the board, including two
which contemplated erection of
nearly 1,500 apartment units at an
estimated cost of about $21,000,000.
Five other petitions were approved
and action on one was deferred.
Action on the Bacas request was
taken after strong opposition had
been voiced by nearby residents, in
cluding former Republican Senator
Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota.
The tract adjoins property of the
Chevy Chase Land Co., which was
rezoned to an apartment house
classification in January.
Other petitions denied included:
Colonial Village, Inc., residential
A to C of approximately 97 acres
at Goldsboro and River roods, Be
th&da, on which construction of
970 apartment units at a cost of
about $13,000,000 was proposed.

tial A to C of about 40 acres on the
east side of Georgia avenue near
Forest Glen road, Silver Spring, on
which was planned approximately 500
apartment units at a cost of nearly
$8,000,000.
