RIA Okays Lease
For Market Center
Work to Sturt
On Southwest
Project Soon
By ALFRED ALIBRANDO
Star Stan Writer

Construction of a new 81
million market center in South
west washington is expected to
begin in about a month.
The Redevelopment Land
Agency today approved a lease
agreement with IL produce
merchants and a restaurant
operator on the first section of
the center.
Approval followed a public
hearing in which two churches
objected to construction of the
produce center. The Rev. Fran
els x. Finnegan, pastor of st.
Dominic's Catholic Church,
protested because he said the
market would create a traffic
hazard for children attending
new grade and high schools
planned by the parish.
The Catholic church. at e
and Sixth streets, is directly
across the street from the mar
ket site, bounded by the new
Southwest expressway. E, Sixth
and Second streets S.W.
Delay Of Month
The section approved by the
RIA today lies between Second
and Fourth streets. Represents
atives of the produce merchants
said construction on the new
center could start in two weeks.
However, RIA officials said
completion of contract details
would probably delay the start
Of building for about a month.
The second section of the
proposed market site lies be-
tween Fourth and Sixth streets.
The RIA board indicated it
would make a decision on this
section in about two weeks.
Members of st. Dominic's
church and the nearby Fifth
Baptist congregation also pro-
tested tentative plans for 10.
cation of a tire recapping shop
adjacent to the second market
section. There were some indi-
cations that the board, as a
concession to the churches,
may abandon this plan.
s3S.521 Payment
The lease agreement with
the produce merchants pro-
videS for a 50-year lease and
an annual payment of S38, 521.-
81. The lease also provides for
a purchase option after 20
years at a sale price of S642,-
OPT, plus an option fee Of
S32.101.
Proponents of the market
center pointed out that parking
spaces for SO trucks are pro-
vided on the property itself.
The site also provides 100 off,
street parking spaces for en-
ployes of the market center.
The RIA board also was ad-
viSed by its staff of a request
by Scheuer-Stevens, who will
build a number of row houses
and apartments in project area
B, for a change in agreements
covering these proposed Struc-
lures. Under present agree
ments rents would be limited
to SIT per room per month.
The builders have shown, the
staff reported, that they can
not build suitable housing I'M
der this rent limitation.
The developers also have
asked for permission to build
higher density apartments -
more people per acre in the
area. Under present agree.
ments the density is 37.2 fami-
lies per acre. They are asking
for a density of go families
per acre. RIA, District and
planning officials who would
have to approve the changes,
have indicated they will in
crease the density to between
IS and SO families per acre.
