To work, of course, the plan
will have to be backed up. The
public will get its chance to
throw either bombshells or bou-
quets at a public hearing De-
Icember 6. After that, the Plan

whether to adopt its proposals
as an official plan. Then, the key
test will come when the Mont

other commission official said,

performers would know what's

To the comment that the
Washington area has had doz-
ems of master plans, many oil
which went down the drain, the
Maryland planners claim this
one is different.
One difference, they say, i;
that this is no planning board
study. Its basis is an $4,000

Aim Of the new plan is to

Gen. Hershey for an explanation.
Senator Russell, in a letter

appeared to ignore a provision
written into the draft law by

Gen. Hershey, in a detailed

He said the Alabama State

Most Of the present coming
taking in virtually the entire
western and northern portions
now requires 2-acre minimum
lot sizes for development.
Danger Is Cited
The sewer. the planners rea-
son, obviously makes much Of
this coming unreasonable. But
the danger, they contend, is that
individual re-zoning to permit
high-density growth in small
sections could wreck any pat
tern of growth.
The 2-acre lot size coming
therefore, is drastically reduced
in the plan, and held largely tc
the western portion.
The north and northeast sec.
tons are zoped heavily to per.
NIT minimum lot sizes of 5000
square feet (R-90 zoning), with
some half-acre (R-R) zone:
bordering them. The REQ zones
mainly north of Bells Mill road
are those nearest the new sewer
line. and thus most logically will
be among the first to grow. Bells
Mill road also is a significant
boundary because south of that
point the new sewer dips out Of
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission operating dis
trict. More than third of the
sewer, therefore. will be outside
the WSSC district. and sewer
connections can only be made
in that area by special arrange
ment.
South of Bells Mill road, and
east Of the sewer, the pre-
dominant coming proposed is fol
half-acre lots. This, according
ito the planners, reflects the type
of growth that already exists in
numerous subdivisions there.

joins an area of R-6O zonine
which already exists east Of

In the southern part of the
watershed near Macarthur bou-
levard, however, the plan pro-
poses an "upgrading" from R-6O
to RIO coming. Many homes
there already are on larger lots
than are required, the planners
say.
Throughout the watershed, in
fact, the planners emphasize
that many developers have
elected to build on large lots
even when the coming didn't re-
quire it. They cite this as fur
ther evidence that the area has
a distinct rural character" they
want to preserve.
And some of them see in this
fact a hope that developers will
not look too harshly at the new
coming proposals.

Gen. Hershey said that Mr..
