Council
Rejects
Rezoning

The county council has rejected
petitions for commercial rezoning
of two pieces of property on Rock
Vile Pike just south of the city
limits.
~ One of the properties denied for
rezoning was the one-acre tract
on the east side of the pike own
ed by DR.. Felix Montouri.
The property abuts the Blandy
Tourist Trailer camp. The council
said in it's opinion there is a great
deal of commercial property in the
area which has not yet been de-
veloped.
The council has been trying to
hold the line on commercial re-
coming along the pike. 1t also re-
jected a bid for commercialization
of triangular tract at Old
Georgetown road and the pike.
Councilman Louis A. Gravelle
filed dissenting opinion on this
request stating that despite the
coming plan for the pike, this prop
erty was unsuited for residential
development.
