stroy your own plan and ex-
coed the density limit"
Mr.. Shooman contended that

The Prince Georges county
commissioners face a week end
Of legal contemplation about a
squeeze play that has them in
the middle between anxious
builders and the embattled
Langley Homeowners Council.
At stake are Is acres in the
densely populated Langley Park
area Of the county that attor-
neys said might become a mo
mans land" depending upon the
commissioners decision-to be
announced Tuesday after q week
end of thinking through the
consequences"
The decision will be either to
grant or to deny building permit
requests for a total of 1873 new
apartment units on portions Of
q 33-acre tract near the inter-
section at University lane and
Riggs road.
The struggle over coming Of the
property has been going on inter-
mittently for three years.
Legal Dilemma.
The commissioners were
warned by County Attorney c.
Calvert Lancaster that a decision
not to grant the permits might
bring costly damage suits by the
builders.
"The records I have available
to me do not indicate any legal
grounds for denying them." Mr..
Lancaster said.
But Harry Shooman, attorney
for the citizens group, said a
decision the other way would
mean a suit against the county
by the homeownerS.
The county commissioners
held two zoning hearings by
mistake" on requests to change
the property from residential to
apartment use in 1851 and 1852.
Both times, Langley Park resi-
dents believed they had halted
builders attempts to put up
more apartments.
It turned out later. however,
that the land has been zoned
for apartment use ever since
the county's master coming ordi-
nance was adopted in November.
1949. according to the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. It has
been bought and sold a NUMBER
of times since then. attorneys
said, and each time the b,lyer
paid dearly" for 1t because OF
the apartment coming.
Planned Community.
The key to the long dispute
is the 1949 ordinance under
which Langley Park was laid
out as the county's first Rural
Planned Community.
RPC regulations limit the to-
tai population density Of the en-
tire 27O-acre community TO D.
1874 units. according to c. War
rem Giauque. planning commits
sion engineer. MIR. Giauque said
there are 2.027 units already
built or under construction
there. That leaves q difference Of
1877.
Additional apartments. await
ing only the Commissioners ap-
proval for construction. would
bring the total density to within
four units Of the permitted 2.l64,
the county heads were told.
Carl M. Freeman has applied
for permission to build so new
units and Isadore Gudelsky has
applied for permission to con-
struct So units. Their building
permits were held up six weeks
ago when the Langley group pro-
tested to the Commissioners
against the new construction.
