CITIZENS WCTORS
IN zON|NG DISPUTE
Apartment Houses Are
Barred From Historic Sec
tion of Georgetown.

The fight of Alexander Kirk of the
State Department and John Ihlder of
he Georgetown Citizens Association
to prevent the erection of small apart
ment houses in Il section of historic
Georgetown containing many of it's
ancestral homes resulted VIGOROUSLY
today when the Zoning Commission
refused % rezone property abutting
both sides Of Reservoir street between
Wisconsin avenue and Thirty fourth
street from "B restricted" to "B area"
Frank ONeil, a real estate operator,
petitioned for the change in order to
build q tWo-Story apartment in the
territory proposed for rezoning.
The commission deferred action on
two proposed amendments to the Zon-
ing regulations which would create a
new area known as "AA restricted"
where only detached homes with two
side yards could be erected, and per-
NIT the construction of community
houses in "A restricted" zones. These
proposed amendments will be readver-
tiNed in different form and consid
cred by the commission at it's public
hearing in May.
Public Hearing Attended.
Representatives of various civic or
SaniZations who appeared before the
y
terday gave their unanimous support
To the proposed new double A restrict
ed area, but did not approve the com
nanlOn amendment to strike out the
words community house" from the
section relating to "A restricted area.
Two other proposed changes in zon-
ing the commission decided to read
Nertise and reconsider at it's next pub
lie hearing. One called for changing
