Apartment Project
Opposed by Citizens
OF East Bethesda
Petitions Circulated
Against Rezoning
2l-Acre Truct

Aroused by the proposed erection
of 280-unit apartment project on
a 21-acre tract north of the East
Bethesda Md Elementary School,
members Of the East Bethesda Citi-
zens' Association are circulating
petitions among residents of the
area opposing request for rezoning
of the land from residential A to c.
A hearing on the rezoning petit
ton, which was filed by Monroe
Warren, is scheduled for pm. May
81 before the county commissioners
at the Bethesda County Building.
The association went on record
against the petition at a meeting
at the East Bethesda Elementary
School.
Members of the group said the
school is now overcrowded and that
even after work has been completed
on an addition to the building, its
facilities would be inadequate for
children from the proposed apart
ment.
1t also was declared that trans
portation facilities in the area are
barely adequate for the present
population and that erection of a
large apartment would result in
hopeless congestion"
After complaints were made that
an apartment building would lower
property values OF surrounding
homeowners, Mr. Warren suggested
placing a buffer strip Of land be-
tween the project and nearby
homes.
He added that 1t was his inten-
ton to convert this strip into a pub
lie park and present it to the
county commissioners.
The land is adjacent to the CO.
lumbia Country Club and extends
north and east of the East Bethesda
Elementary School.
