Rezoning Action Hit
In announcing plans to ap-
peal the SakS' Fifth Avenue
site rezoning, Mr.. Vinton said
he believed that "greviouS er-
ror" was made by the County
Council in its 4-to-2 decision.
Therefore" he said, "the
town will appeal the decision
to the Montgomery County Cir
cult Court and, if necessary, to
the Maryland Court of Appeals.
We believe we can win this
case"
He called the decision a "vio-
lation of the General Plan of
1857" and said it would result
lin ribbon commercial develop
ment" along Wisconsin avenue
and would be the opening
wedge for the destruction Of the
fine residential developments
in this part of Chevy Chase"
County officials said that be-
fore a store as large as Saks
Fifth Avenue unit could be
constructed, provision must be
made for off-street parking.
The councils rezoning last
week applied to only one of the
five acres in the Wisconsin
avenue tract. The remaining
land may be used for parking
only if the developers obtain a
special exception permit from
the County Board of Appeals.
An application for such a
permit is pending.
County laws state that one
parking space - with mini
mum area of 180 square feet
must be provided for every 100
square feet of floor space used
for merchandising. For a 100,-
000-square-f oot department
store, approximately 800 park

The approved bill was a COM

Gil Member Stella B. Werner,
That would have abolished the
recreation district entirely
would have operated the De-

county general funds, and pro-
vided for rebates to municipal
tiles with existing recreation

Police Upgraded
Rockville was excepted be-
cause its $100,000-a-year city

Vinton announced at a press
conference at the National

is prepared to contribute from
its own revenues a substantial
portion of the cost" of acquir-
ing the proposed park land,
and (2) the town has decided
to appeal the rezoning of the
SakS' Fifth Avenue store site.
Backed by Mayor
The Mayor said the proposed
park site is beautifully wood
ed and is one of the few re-
naming parcels of land in the
county still in its natural
state"
He added, "The town believes
that as a matter of public
policy this land should be ac-
quired and maintained as a
public park for the enjoyment
not only of the citizens of
Somerset but for the several
neighboring communities, in
cluding Chevy Chase"
Mayor Vinton said he be-
lieved the park should become
part of the bi-couny park sys-
tenn of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
He said the town would be
willing to donate several hun
dred thousand dollars" to buy
the land, but said the title
eventually would pass to the
park and planning commission
for it to develop, manage and
maintain.
Mayor Vinton, accompanied
at the press gathering by Coun-
Gilman Hobart Rowen, said the
five-member Somerset Town
Council has approved a plan
to borrow the entire amount
necessary to buy the land and
has arranged already to get the
money through sale of bond
anticipation notes to a local
financial institution.
With acquisition of the land,
he said, the town would sell
bonds maturing either 20 or 25
years, with interest and amor
tization to be paid in part by
the town and the park COM
