Planning Comes
First, Sanitary
Commission Says
Council Told Sewers
Won't Guide Growth

Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission representa-
tives assured the County Coun-
Gil this week that they have no
desire to substitute sewers for
planning in determining how
and where the county should
grow.
The assurances came from
Commission Chief E n gineer
Robert j. Mcleod during a dis
cussion Tuesday on the agen-
cy's five-year construction pro-
gram.
Apparently satisfied with this,
the county heads approved the
program subject to an annual
review of the projects. They
also requested the commission
to work with the county and
related" agencies so that the
latter can incorporate the sani-
tary groups proposed Seneca
watershed sewer lines in their
programs.
Prior to the session, commits
sion members met behind clos
ed doors with the council. Nc
Leod said afterwards that the
commission wanted to get the
councils thinking on the Seneca
waters h e d proposals before
talking about 1t in open session.
He explained an adverse opin-
ion by the council would have
weakened the commissions po-
sition with the Regional SAM
tary Board and for this reason,
he wanted to avoid any news
paper publicity.
AS 1t turned out, the council
endorsed the Seneca watershed
study along with the projected
Potomac River interceptor sew.
er to serve Dulles Airport and
adjacent areas Of Maryland and
Virginia.
Councilman David Cahoon ex.
pressed the councils view on
sewers versus planning when
he said:
my only concern is that
some of the assumptions implic.
1t in the Seneca study Is that
there must be a certain degree
and kind of development before
sewers can be put into the wat
ershed. We need more planning
leeway and we must not let
sewers determine the kind Of
land use we are going to have"
Mcleod said he was in full
agreement with Cahoon that
planning must come first.
Il don't think sewers should
have to determine planning" he
declared.
In response to his request,
the Council voiced active sup

County Council Adds
Flexibility to R-R Zone

lie OOuIlty OOuIlclI agreed
this week that more flexibility
in subdivision planning to pro-
vide. for lower housing density
car be accomplished by amend
ing the existing R-R zone.
The Park and Planning Com.
mission had suggested realizing
this aim by creating two new
zones. Under one, the average
lot size would be 10000 square
feet-the same as the present
R-R zone-with a mandatory
minimum of $4,000 square feet.
In the other, the average would
be $4,000 square feet and the
minimum, 10000 square feet.
After a discussion Tuesday on
the commissions proposals, the
county heads approved a mo-
ton by Councilman Joe M. Kyle
to include the varying sizes in
the R-R zone. Other provisions
Of the planning agency's recon-
mendations will be taken up at
future council sessions.
Il think we can accomplish
what we want by amending the
present R-R zone" Kyle declar-
ed. IF we adopt the commits.
sion's proposal, we will be i'm
mediately confronted with a lot
Of coming applications from
builders to change the R-R zone
into the new zone"
Councilman David. Cahoon
termed the suggestion halt
ing first step" He added that
this puts a tremendous club in
the hands of the Planning Board
by reducing the owners oppor-
tunity to seek court action to
force the board to approve his
subdivision plan.
Il think we should be con-
cerned about the chance of any
public agency to be arbitrary"
Cahoon emphasized.
Councilman William F. Hick-
ey commented that since land
dedicated by developers for pub
lie use would be included in
computing the average lot size,
there would be a certain
amount of duress on the
builder"
I'VE could call it blackmail by
planning" he declared.
From Councilwoman Stella B.
Werner came the fear that the
commissions proposal might re-
suit in a greater number of
smaller lots in a subdivision.
after ALL" she said, build.
ers can set up more flexibility
in lot sizes now without this
new regulation"
She was supported by County
Manager Mason A. Butcher,
who cited the Kenwood Park
subdivision where he said many
of the lots average 1900
square feet even though the
minimum is 5000 square feet.
After approving Kyle's mo-
tion, the council decided to
check with the county attor-
ney's office to determine wheth-
err a new public hearing is need
ed on the proposed coming
amendment. A hearing on the
commissions suggest
ed new zones was held last July.

TO support the gOal OF to,uUu
signatures calling for a more
equitable number of delegates
to the Legislature from the
states more populous counties
The county heads emphasized
that representation on the basis
of population is an 'indispens.
able element of democratic
form of government"
They pointed out that under
the present system, delegates
from counties with only "a per
cent of the total State popula-
ton of over 3 million form a
majority Of the lower house;
and representatives from coun-
ties with only Is per cent OF
the total population, constitute
a majority in the State Senate.
Early Attempts Rejected
Repeated attempts by both
major political parties have
failed to bring about the neces.
sary constitutional amendment
to provide fair representation,
the council stated.
AS a result, the group added,
the Montgomery County Com
mittee for Fair Representation
has been formed to collect sig
natures on petitions demanding
immediate steps be taken to
reapportion the General AS
sembly on the basis of popula.
ton according to each Federal
census.
While the petitions can
achieve no legal effect, spon.
sors of the drive concede, full
fillment of the goal of $4,000
signatures would present a
dramatic demonstration" to
state officials that county
voters desire fair representa-
ton.
Governor Criticized
The gesture of official sup
port of the drive by the county
government came close on the
heels of sharp criticism of Gov.
J. Willard Tawes by the local
fair representation committee
for Tawes' assertion that he
would go no further than sup
port the Walsh Committee plan
for reapportionment.
The Walsh committee sub
mitted a reapportionment for
mula two years ago, calling for
what the local committee de-
scribed as token" and limited"
increases in representation. 1t
was rejected by the Legislature.
Called Unacceptable"
Philip Thorson, president Of
the county's reapportionment
committee, said the Walsh plan
was unacceptable" and called
on the governor to press for
what everyone knows is just
and right, namely, representa-
ton on the basis of population. "

the local group and executive
vice president of the State

RIA Sees Sturt
By March ! on
BuIkheud Project

The Redevelopment Land
Agency hopes to start building
the new bulkhead along the
Washington waterfront by
March /, it was announced to-
day.
Gordon E. Howard, acting
executive director of the RIA,
told his board that progress in
the plan to extend the bulk
head and pier lines along Maine
avenue between Eleventh and
M streets S.W. indicates con-
struction may start soon.
At present the Army Corps
Of Engineers is studying prob
lens of extending the bulk
head and is slated to reach a
conclusion on November 20.
The Army said the main prob
lem is what effect the extension
would nave on navigation.
The RIA and the District
Commissioners want to extend
the bulkhead 90 feet-by the
Engineers flgures-to provide
AZ acres more land on which
to rebuild the Washington
waterfront. The Army En-
gineers calculated this extern
sion would make the Washing
ton channel $50 feet at its
narrowest point between the
bulkheads. The narrowest dis
tance between the pierhead on
the Maine avenue side and the
opposite shore would be $50
feet, according to the Army.

Brood Goals
Seen Needed
For Renewal

Washington urban renewal
leaders agree the city should
map its lo1g-range goals in
order to make enlightened de-
cisions on immediate redevelop-
ment questions.
District Engineer Commits
sioner Frederick ]. Clarke said
this sentiment predominated at
the first Of a series of meetings
yesterday on how the Washing
ton urban renewal program
could be speeded up.
The District Commissioners
have under study the Commu-
nifty Renewal Program which
spells out these long-range
goals. Col. Clarke said the pro-
posal will come UP for decision
by December !.
The Community Renewal
Program. he said, will enable
the District to "equate needs
and resources" rather than
considering each redevelopment
project separately as it comes
along.
Another point the urban
renewal leaders agreed upon,
Col. Clarke said, was to work
at arriving at a more definitive
design" Of urban renewal land
sites. He said the layout of
the streets and buildings should
be agreed upon in detail at an
early date.
Col. Clarke termed the meet
ing very amicable" and said
it was productive enough to
prompt those attending to
schedule another one for next
Tuesday at 2 pm. in his office,
