38-Acre Tract
In Bethesda Rezoned
Rural Residential

The Montgomery County
Council in an unprecedented
move yesterday rezoned from a
greater to a less dense use a 38.8
acre tract at Fernwood and
Greentree roads, Bethesda.
The rezoning. the first initiated
by the council under the new
zoning ordinance. passed by q
5-to-2 vote. with George F. Mes
bitt and Louis A. Monarch OPP
posing.
The action changes the coming
from RICO. or 5000 square foot
lots, to rural residential or one
half acre lots.
The issue. however, was not
expected to be settled with the
councils action. John r. Reeves.
attorney for David Milestone,
developer, was believed certain to
take the matter III court.
ME-. Monarch. notifying the
council he would file q dissent
ing opinion for the first time,
said he felt the zoners were go
ing of base.
Opposed by Planners.
The. councils rezoning was
done over objection Of the Mary
educational Capital Park and
Planning Commission. The COM
mission already had opposed
subdivision plats for develop
ment.
Involved In the lengthy fight
was the Bradley Boulevard Citi-
zens' Association, who had sue
cessfully sought to have the
council initiate the rezoning on
its own motion.
The group had contended the
area had been reclassifled from
rural residential to R-60 without
its knowledge. although the
council had held q hearing on
the matter when the new ordi-
nance was being drawn up last
summer.
The tract, however, before
January was zoned for single
family use and {. 00O-square-f foot
lots.
Across Greentree and Fern
woods roads. i've expensive
homes face the tract and the
area IS zoned for rural residen-
tial.
The councils opinion said the
planning commission originally
recommended rural residential,
reclassified it to R-60 without
a public hearing and then failed
to notify the council of the
change until just before adoption
of the new zoning ordinance De-
cember 8. The nature Of the
land and Of surrounding develop
nnents also were cited as reasons
for the rezoning.
Decide Against Appeal.
The council yesterday decided
against appealing d Circuit Court
order directing 1t to set q hear
ing on an application previously
rejected BY the council.
The council also referred to
the county attorney for study
q proposal to require permits fol-
the setting of explosives in the
county.
In other actions, the council:

city heads.

ner and Mr.. Owen were among
the original members appointed
to the ine-member body in 1852,

American Legion and District
officials yesterday held an hour
long harmony meeting that was
so harmonious, with back-slap-
ping and -hand-clasping, that it
looked for a moment like the
closing day of the forthcoming
Legion convention itself.
What prompted the conference
was hurt feelings on the part of
the Legionnaires whose conven-
ton here is slated from August
80 through September 2.
Herbert j. jacob, president of
the convention corporation, took
exception to what he regarded as
implications by District govern
ment officials that the annual af-
fair would be a trif1e rowdy. Mr..
