Plans Group Opposes
; Petitions for
Wheaton Rezoninu

Three petitions for commercial
coming in Wheaton have been
opposed by the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission because the prop
critics have been recommended
for street parking in the COM
missions coming plan for the
area.
The applications are among II
in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties which the plan
ming agency recommended for
denial. Fourteen others were ap-
proved.
All recommendations were sent
to the Montgomery County Coun-
Gil and the Prince Georges County
Commissioners, who have final
coming authority.
The three Wheaton petitions,
involving lots now in the resi-
dental A zone, were filed by
Howard Larcombe, attorney for
E. T. letter; Earl Blundon and
Francis M. Higgins, jr., agent
for F. r. and Ellen A. Funk
houser. The lots are on the north
side Of Ennalls avenue.
The applications in question,
the commission said, affect over
two acres of the relatively scarce
residential A land which lies
within convenient walking dis
lance of the major concentra-
tons of commercial coming in
Wheaton.
Approval of the petitions, "
the commission asserted, would
only encourage further scattering
OF commercial uses and render
increasingly difficult the assembly
{. of parking areas of adequate
size within serviceable range of
the major frontages on Georgia
avenue and the Kensington-
Wheaton road"
