Rescinds Approval
For Power Lines


Zoning Appeals yesterday rescinded
approval for the erection by the
Virginia Electric Il Power Co. of
power transmission lines through
Providence, Falls Church and Lee
districts in the county. !
The board granted the power
company permission to erect the
power lines last November. It was
rescinded however, when it was
brought out that the lines would
run through property not owned by
the company Board Chairman S.
Cooper Dawson explained the own
ership OF the property was necessary
in order to grant the applicant per-
mission for a zoning variance.
Approval of the erection of an
electric power transformer substa-
tion by VEPC, also granted last
November. was unaffected by yes
terday's action. This substation is
to be on the south side of Shreve
road a little more than a mile north
of Lee highway.
A request for permission to build
a multiple housing development on
Fort Hunt road near Belle Haven
was withdrawn without protest.
This proposal had encountered op-
position among residents of Belle
Haven, which is primarily single
family home development.
The board turned down a request
OF j. L. Claibourne for permission
to use home near Braddock road
In the Seminary Hill area for a tea
room, after opponents protested
that this neighborhood should BIZ
retained as one OF the better resi-.
Dental areas in the Alexandria :
Fairfax are. 1t was also brought
out the tea room might create q
traffic hazard on Braddock road.
