Fate of $40 Million
Apartment Project
Moy Be Decided

Rezoning of the Hendry tract
for a $40 million apartment
project near the Potomac River
will be considered by the Arling-
ton County Board at 8 pm. Fri
day.
The boards first zoning session
is scheduled for 8 pm. Tuesday
and another session will be held
at 8 pm. Thursday.
After a conference at the
Courthouse yesterday, board
members decided to hear the con-
troversial Hendry tract petition
Friday.
The county's Zoning and Land
Use Committee, one of the sue
cessors to the former Planning
Commission, has recommended
against the proposed rezoning.
The petition of the owner, DR..
Ernest S. Hendry, a retired
Washington stomach specialist.
seeks a change in classificaticS
of Is acres overlooking the
P o mac River from single
family to luxury apartment use.
The property is at PAIL North
Twenty fourth street.
Residents Raise Protest.
Some residents of the area
have protested that the develop
ment would depreciate their
properties and would cause traffic
congestion on Spout Run park
way and the proposed extension
of George Washington Memorial
parkway.
Sponsors of the project says
the traffic increase would be neg
ligible and that the county would
receive more than $500,000 year
from the apartments in taxes.
The Hendry rezoning is the
only one scheduled for hearing
Friday.
