win Project Over Line
The application before the
Commissioners today was for g
special building code exception
permitting the apartment build
ing to project slightly beyond the
building line ilnposed under nor
NAL code restrictions.
The request was made by Royce
Ward, vice president Of the Po-
tomac Plaza Corp, q New York
syndicate financing the develop
ment and was Endorsed by Ca
bell Gwathmey, District licenses
and inspections director.
Mr.. Ward explained that the
design Of the 274-unit. eight
story apartment calls for a cross
shaped structure which requires
q slight projection over the nor
NAL building line.
Mr.. Gwathmey pointed out
that the building would cover
only As per cent Of the lot while
q rs per cent coverage of land
is permitted under coming regu-
lations.
He added:
Land Not Over Occupied
st is clear that the land is
not being over-occupied despite
the fact that the dimensions Of
the building are slightly greater
than the lot win accommodate. "
The city heads granted the ex-
ception under q special provision
possible when such exceptions do
not interfere with adjacent build
ings or cause other deleterious
effects.
The apartment and two Office
buildings will be sold to Occur
pants on q cooperative owner
ship basis. Specific plans for
other structures in the privately
financed project have not been
completed.
