Writ Reopens Old Lane,
Cuts Across Subdivision

A l00-year-old country lane.
threading through a North Ar
lington subdivision, is being re-
opened today under a court Or
der.
The lane slices across a half
dozen extensively developed
home sites and newly con-
structed roads.
Miss Anna Hedrick, an at
torney and property owner in
the Rivercliff subdivision on high
ground above the Potomac River.
won the court order against
Dover Heights, Inc. develop
ment firm.
Caught in the middle of the
legal action are purchasers of
lots and homes valued up to
$40, 900 in the new Dover sub
division. A bulldozer yesterday
began cutting through side and
back yards reopening the lane.
New Roads Built
The Dover subdivision lies be-
tween Military road and Miss
Hedrick's property. The lane
zig-zags through the new sub
division from Military road and
in years past provided access to
river-front property.
New subdivision roads built by
Dover Heights provide more
direct access to Miss Hedrick's
property and to other river
front lots. Miss Hedrick owns
"a three-acre undeveloped tract.
Miss Hedrick said the lane was
in existence as far back as 1852.
Persons who purchased property
overlooking the river were given
Iright-o f-way access over the
country lane from Military road,
she said.
The lane was never dedicated
as a county road and has never
been accepted by the county for
maintenance. But it appears on
county maps and plat books as
North Twenty fifth street.
The Arlington Circuit Court
ruled last October that the Dover
subdivision developer. Paul T.
Stone, had no authority to close
the country lane even though he
provided better access to the
river-front properties.
Decision Is Upheld
Mr.. Stone. through Alexandria
attorney Armstead Boothe, APP
lpealed the decision but the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court last month
upheld the lower court.
Dover Heights, Inc. has now
been ordered to appear in Airing
ton Circuit Court on June 8 to
explain why the lane was not re-
opened within 80 days Of the
final Supreme Court ruling.
Miss Hedrick said property
owners who bought in the new
subdivision were fully aware of
the lanes existence.
One property owner. Charles
Fuechsel. of 403l Nelly Gusts
drive, said home owners in the

subdivision had been assured
the lane would never be re-
opened. The lane-when re-
opened-will cut across one cor
ner of his property.
Will Employ Attorney
Mr.. Fuechsel said the home
owners plan to employ an at
torney.
Mr.. Boothe said the develop
ment firm had done all it legally
could and had no choice but tc
reopen the lane. He said one
course of action remains open tc
the property owners themselves
1t would involve the subdi-
vision residents asking the Ar
lington County Board to con-
denim the country lane anc
close 1t.
The lane cuts across Nelly
Gusts drive. North Randolph
street. North Quebec street,
North Quincy street and North
Pollard street.
Mr.. Fueschel said only six OF
seven lots are crossed by the
lane but all of the property
owners in the subdivision fee
they are adversely affected By
the reopening Of the lane.
