zoning Board 10 Hear
Plea for Apartments
In WoodIey Area

The proposal to construct apart
ment buildings on the edge of the
Woodley estate will get a new
hearing December 18 when it
comes before the Board of Zoning
Adjustment.
A proposal to rezone the prop
erty, on the west side of Twenty
ninth street between Cleveland
avenue and the proposed Garfield
street, still is pending before the
Zoning Commission.
Meanwhile an appeal has been
filed with the adjustment board
on behalf of Edward c. Baltz
Thornton D. Owen and Ned Bord
owners, for an exception to the
use provisions of the single-family
residential zoning.
The request is for permission
to put up three story buildings
to a depth of $50 feet from the
Twenty-ninth street building line.
Attorney James c. Wilkes, rep
resenting the owners, explained
that while the map change sought
from the Zoning Commission
would give the builders more lee
way. they might proceed under
a more restricted clearance from
the board.
Board May Grant Exceptions.
The board is empowered to
grant exceptions to the zoning
regulations where it can be shown
that unusual hardship is pre-
sented by the use restrictions on
a piece of property.
If the board granted the
TWenty-ninth street petition il
would control precisely what kline
OF construction could be put or
the property.
Proponents of the apartment
mouse construction have contendec
that the topography of the lane
would not make the construction
OF single family homes practical
Also, they pointed out, there are
apartments on the east side Of
Twenty-ninth street.
The land on the west side rises
rather sharply from Twenty-nintl
street for distances of 80 to 4(
feet. it was noted by the Zonine
Advisory Council.
Residents of the exclusive resi-.
DENTAL neighborhood fought
against the move to put apart
ments on the property at hear
ing before the Zoning Commission
last month.
II year earlier, the commission
had turned down, in the face of
vigorous opposition. proposal to
allow f1ve-story apartment house
construction over an 11-acre area
OF the Woodley grounds.
The pending plan involves about
three acres, on which would be
built apartment units of de luxe

Communist, into airplanes and
jet engines and fuel cells. In
this phase the project is two-fold: !:
To develop and test the most
effective type of ammunition and
to produce the least vulnerable
aircraft.

The overall project is intended
to show how much of what type
armor should be on bombers and
fighters, the type and location of

may be improved and fuel systems
better protected.
