4-StOry Structure,
ROckville's First
Okayed by Board

The Rockville Board of APP
peals Tuesday gave the green
light to plans for a four-story,
90-unit hotel at the northwest
corner of North Washington
and Dawson streets.
In granting their OK, the
three-member board set a
precedent: this will be the
city's first major hotel struc-
ture. Zoning laws do not pro-
hibit hotels, but in the past,
plans for their construction
met more than passive resist
ance.
The builders of the $500,0O0
hotel, the Sterling Construction
Co., of Bethesda, were given the
nod after they applied for special
exception to meet the coming re-
quirements. They expect to begin
building after they acquire land
for parking behind the building.
The land for parking first must
be zoned commercial and then
building permit will be sought.
Plans call for a dining room,
two patios, a lobby and elevator
service.

Council OKs
Acc Filling
Station Site

The County Council on
Tuesday granted an applica-
ton for rezoning from resi-
dential-agricultural to COM
mercial of an acre of land To-
Gated near the Atomic Energy
Commission building at the
intersection of Route 118 and
new US Route 240 for use as
a filling station.
Applicants were Peter j. Firra
and David deBose Gaillard II. At
torneys ]. Hodge Smith and
Thomas Kelley represented them
at the public hearing last week
and pointed out that the station
was already partially completed
as a non-conforming use and that
no other type of commercializa-
ton would be put on the tract.
They also brought out that the
site is just opposite the new
Atomic Energy Commission build
ing and that the character of the
neighborhood had drastically
changed since the original zon.
ing.
In making its decision, the
Council stressed that the Pome-
roy report was consistent with
such use at or near this section
and they believed the granting of
the application would aid in the
accomplishment of a coordinated,
comprehensive and systematic de-
velopment of the county.
A number of area residents ap.
peared at last weeks hearing to
speak in favor Of the proposal.
The only opposition came from
Dyke Cullum, nearby farmer,
who was not opposed to the fill
ing station as such but urged that
its entrance and exit be made
from a service entrance and not
from the main road.
At an earlier date the Montgom-
cry County Planning Board rec.
commended that the application be
denied primarily because it did
not believe the proposed entrance
complied with the generally ac-
cepted safety standards for the
exchange of traffic between inter.
secting highways.
The only dissenting vote from a
full council came from Council
man Wilbur Baughman who voted
NO"
