Arlington Ends Attempt
Void Floating Zone

The Arlington County Board
last night dropped its attempt
to eliminate a floating" COM
mercial zone near Shirlington.
Involved were four acres of a
95-acre tract at South Walter
Reed drive and Arlington Mill
road. A previous county board
rezoned the 95 acres for apart
ments and set up the 4-acre
commercial zone, but did rot
specify Its location.
The county board advertised
to eliminate the commercial
tract after the owner, Mrs. Allie
8. Freed, asked circuit to order
the board to establish exact
boundaries. County planners
said there already was plenty
Of commercial land in the area
and no need for the 4 acres.
The board could not muster
the four votes needed to rezone
the 4 acres to an apartment
classification, so 1t asked the
planning commission to estab-
fish the boundaries Of the COM
mercial area to fit in with a
highway proposed along Four
Mile Run.
The Board continued its
tough policy against mulA-story
apartments by turning down
five requests for apartment re-
coming.
Three Of those denied in

Also rejected were apartment
requests for tracts in the same
ownership in the 1900 block Of

streets. and another tract at
South Glebe road and Fifth
street.

Heights Junior High School on
Addison Chapel road at Fifty
third street on an 812-acre
site.
The board has shown its in
terest by asking for an alter
nate plan that would include
air conditioning, and Thomas
s. Gwynn, jr., Prince Georges
Assistant School Superintend-
ent in charge of buildings, has
called the supervisors meeting.
Economies Noted
Mr.. Gwynn lists several econ
omies in such a structure:
The county presently suffers
a loss of about $4,000 a
year from window breakage
in schools. The windoWless
school wouldn't have many
windows for vandals to break.
1t costs more to build a wall
with windows than it does to
build one without windows.
Mr.. Senseman explains that,
though air conditioning is an
additional initial cost, the win
dowlesS school has less heat
loss in winter because of its
solid walls. Also, it would cost
less for summer air condition
ing of a windowlesS school than
one that has windows, he said.
The FairmoL,t Heights School,
according to Mr.. Senseman'S
plans, would have three stories
making it the first multi
stored school in the Nation,
with full interior rooms.
To Use "Sky Domes"
Most of the classrooms would
make use of "Sky domes," per-
hitting the entrance OF con-
trolled outside light from above
However, the core of the build
ing, housing music rooms, shop,
science labs and library, would
have fully artificial light.
