An explanation is offered by DR. Stella

CARR F|NCKEL DESIGN
CHANGES PLANNED.
Architects Start Revision for
14th and F After Set
back Decision.

Stopped hv the Zoning Commission
from carrying into effect original plans
for the new home Of the department
store Of Julius Garfinckel on the north
vest corner of Fourteenth and F streets,
the architects and contractor for the
project planned today to prepare new
design fer the building.
Mr.. Garfinckei. en- route TO Paris. was
notified by radio last night OF the &C
ton Of the Zoning Commission in re-
fV,Sing 10 grant him permission to erect
the proposed building on the site which
would run ia q height Of 100 feet with
out setbacks above the llo-foot level
as required by the existing coming regu-
lationS
Pending a ceciSion by Mfr Garfinckei
as to the future of the projected de-
velooment. Charles H. Tompkins. the
contractor, stated today that he and the
architects. Starrett {. Van Week of New
York. would study the matter with a
view n submitting plans for the build
ing conforming to the ruling OF the
Znning Commission.
While not in position to speak
authorltatively on the question. MIR.
TompSins said he doubted If Mr.. Gar
flnckel would abandon all plans for the
DEVELOPMENT of the new department
store though the ruling Of the commits
sion in rejecting the appeal for
change in the coming regulations would
nfiict a hardship" on the project.
Confident that the commission WOULD
agree 10 the requested change in zon-
ing. II was said, Mr.. Garfinckel had not
considered alternative plans for the
building with provision for setback
in the faca6es of the structure above
the lio-foot level.
Mr.. Tompkins pointed out that a de-
nartnent store of necessity must have
higher ceiling heights for the floors OF
the building than are required for office
buildings. 4 setback above ITO feet,
he added. would mean that the two
urpnr stories each would be but 10 feet
high. whereas plans for the proposed
building called for a ceiling height OF
IN feet inches for the first floor and
OF Is feet s inches for the upper floors.
A ceiling height of but 10 feet for the
two upper stories. he said, would not be
feasible for department store use. and
the ruling of the commission might
mean the elimination Of one entire floor
III order 10 provide adequate height Tor
the resulting seventh or top floor. An
other alternative, he said, might be to
start the setback i'm the facades 81 feet
below the maximum height OF $50 feet
instead OF at the Ii0-foot level.
The new development, however, Mr..
Tompkins said. would be DELAYED pend
