lieve Prince Georges needs some

Asked to Act Now
The group, composed Of r. r
Black, association president: w
H. Haggard and James F. Vance
asked the commissioners to ex-
Iercise Immediately their author
ity under Maryland's coming and
planning law.
The area lies outside the re-
gional district, but the commits
sioners have the power, under the
law. to set up a county planning
commission that would control
development beyond the district
boundary.
The group has made several
appearances before the commits
|sioners during recent months
with a plea that county officials
help them in influencing the de-
veloper of the proposed River
Ridge Estates to increase lot
sizes in the subdivision.
The new homes are planned
for site adjacent to the area
covered by the citizens associa-
ton. where lot sizes are at least
lone-half acre. Plats show LOT
sizes in River Ridge Estates will
average $500 square feet.
Depreciation Feared
Association members said they
feel the smaller lots will de-
Ipreciate property values of the
older homes.
"You should head of these
characters who are hurting our
county by putting up small
houses that don't pay their way"
Mr.. Vance said.

Sentiment for Extension
Mr.. Baggett said the county's
Legislative delegation has ex-
pressed willingness to push legis-
|lation enlarging the regional dis
ltrict, but not to include the en-
tire county.
County Attorney William L
Kahler said officials are consid.
ering drafting legislation that
would grant local control ovel

Inecessitate creation of q costly
county planning commission and
staff in duplication of that al.
ready in force in the regional

/ One possibility under consider
alton is a plan to give the county
commissioners limited control
over rural areas, with the plan
ming commission staff acting In
an advisory capacity.
Mr.. Baggett told the residents
the commissioners understand
rural development problems and
already have adopted a road or
ldinance to boost housing devel-
opment quality throughout the
county. The ordinance insures
Icompletion of subdivision roads
according to county specifica-
ltions.
The commissioners also have
authorized q $500 land use
