ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, November 16.-The re-
quest of the civic associations of Viz
ginia Highlands and Aurora Hills for
q new hearing on the tentative zoning
of their sections was granted last night
by the Arlington County coming COM
mission.
In announcing that the commission
would select date for another hear
ing, Fred A. Gosnen stated that a
number of changes suggested at the
recent meeting at the Hume School are
being given consideration. "The COM
mission realizes" he said, that there
are unusual conditions existing with re-
spect to the coming of that particular
section" The time and place Of the
meeting will be announced within the
next few days.
Protest Industrial Area.
Many citizens of jefferson district
are protesting the action of the COM
mission in establishing small heavy
industrial" area at South Washington
and are anxious to have another OPP
portunity to explain their objections to
the commission before the tentative
ordinance Is submitted to the board
Of county supervisors.
Preceding the public hearing last
night the commission approved a per-
NIT for the erection of new main
auditorium by the Clarendon Methodist
Episcopal Church. The new building
will adjoin the present Sunday school
room and will cost approximately
SIC, 900, 1t was said by Harry Shepherd,
chairman of the building committee.
The installation of an organ will bring
the price to approximately S6S 1000.
I1ff sNf tnn hf1iA
ing the church will have an invest
ment of approximately $4,000, Shep-
herd said.
1t was pointed out that the COM
mission is opposed to the advertising
of any particular business property In
the county on the strength of the tenta-
tive coming done by the commission.
It is with a view to making many
possible changes that the commission
stated, and it is certain that there
viii be many made before the ordinance
Is put into effect.
Glen CarIyn Zoning Cited.
Last nights hearing was devoted to
an explanation by Robert H. Forman,
acting chairman, of the tentative zon-
ing Of Glen Carlyn, which has been
zoned residential, with the exception OF
a small section for local business along
Laurel street and Carlyn Spring road;
Bon Air, residential, except for strips
along Wilson Boulevard and Adams
street devoted to local business; Balls
ton, which is to be first commercial
along Glebe road from Memorial orive
to Wilson Boulevard and in the vicinity
of the post Office, with the rest divided
into residential A and b.; Clarendon,
which has been assigned quite large
general business section, with the
Clarendon Trust Co. as the center and
extending down Wilson Boulevard
toward Rosslyn, taking in the Lyon
Village side of Lyon Village.
There was little objection expressed
to the tentative zoning, with the eXcep-
tion of that affecting Lyon village.
A committee from the citizens asso.
ciation of that place, headed by Robert
n. Anderson, president, presented q
netition objection to the coming OF
Wilson Boulevard for general business,
requesting that the section between
Virginia avenue and Oak street be 2oneo
residential B" and the section between
Oak street and Cherryoale aVenue ! pe
made local business" instead OF gen
eTal business" The petition also pro-
tested the proposed coming as CONNER
ciai the north side of Lee Highway from
T2ucker avenue to Cherrydale avenue
Frank Lyon, developer OF the suodi-
vision. supported the tentative oeclsloh
of the commission to designate as gen
eral business" all of the lots facing on
wilson Boulevard, pointing out tnat ne
had sold them for that purpose anu
that many of them are now being SO
used. .ua
Forman informed those present care
f,lI consideration would be given TO the
suggestions made and that there
would doubtless be some changes mace
in that section before the ordinance Is
submitted for approval.
