Also, the correctness of any

to determination since oppo-

that we can set up holding zones

There is no lack of coordina-

MEMBERS OF the montgomery
County Council and its Plan
ming Board agree on basic plan
ming policies but differ on ways
to achieve some of them.
This was evident at three
hour meeting of the two agen-
cies last week to discuss II
planning guideposts or criteria
which the Council sent to the
planners about two months ago.
All of the participants termed
the session fruitful" in pro-
noting a full exchange of ideas
and promised to hold similar
meetings in the future in a
move to prevent misunderstood
ings.
Council President William F.
Hickey emphasized there is mo
friction" between the two
groups.
"All we are attempting to
do" he declared, "is to find the
most beneficial solutions to the
problems facing us. In this re-
spect, have always received
the fullest cooperation from
the Planning Board"
Each of the criteria, along
with the comments of Planning
Board Chairman ]. Newton
Brewer, jr., follows:
1. Preservation of 2-acre zon-
ing adjacent to the Potomac
and Patuxent Rivers for the
protection of water supply and
preservation of soil and natural
surface drainage pattern.
This was recommended by the
staff and Commission in 1858.
Our suggestion at that time for
areas to be devoted to 2-acre
coming was much more extern
sive than the pattern which now
exists.
Ideally, the RIA zone should
extend to the boundaries of the
watershed in the case of the
Patuxent River.
2. Provision for flood control
through an adequate system of
retention dams in the major
watersheds within the county.
The proposed Master Plan for
the Upper Rock Greek Water
shed contemplates the erection
of two retention dams in this
area. We believe it is desirable
to get these projects under way
as soon as possible so that they
can act as models for other ma
jor watersheds in the county.
The Commission has been Civ
ing considerable thought to SIM
liar dams in the Upper North.
west Branch and Upper Paint
Branch Watersheds.
3. Promotion of conservation
measures to minimize soil ero-
sion.
The Commission fully realizes
the urgent need to prevent soil
erosion and promote conserva.
ton in its stream-valley parks
and has taken positive steps to
eliminate this problem.
During the last five years,
we have carried on a fertiliza.
ton and sterilization program
throughout our entire park sys.
tenn. We also have stepped up
our landscaping, planting and
ground cover projects along
with stream realignment.
4. Prevent creation of septic
villages by providing public
sanitary sewers in u acre and
lesser density areas through co.
ordinated planning in advance
of development.
We. too, have been concerned
over the possible creation OF
septic villages. We do not be
lieve, however, that all land
now zoned R-R, RE and RIA
should be severed in the forsee
able future.
Along these lines, we think
and / am sure the Council
agrees, that planning should
precede sewers, so that no sew
er line would be extended into
any area until a Master Plar
is prepared and adopted for
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-04-20


intensity greatly our work load.
But we are willing and eager
to take up that challenge in the
interest of promoting the coun-
TVS orderly growth.
1t might also be desirable to
curb the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commissions practice
of extending trunk sewers like
fingers of an octopus, far out
into the countryside as soon as
developers offer contributions
to help defray the costs of such
extensions.
5. Prevent development with
in the 50-year flood plain of all
streams.
This is provided in this Com.
missions proposed Subdivision
Regulations. Also, since this
Commission was established in
1927, one of its primary aims
aid accomplishments has been
the preservation of stream-val-
leys as parks, which automatic
ally has prevented development
in many of the low lying areas
along streams.
6. Retain open spaces through
acquisition of development
rights.
The Commission has not used
this law because other methods
of acquiring land have proven
more successful. In the first
place, the market value of land
in the Maryland-Wa
Metropolitan District is compar-
able to the cost of development
rights. Furthermore, the use of
these development rights would
not make land available to the
public.
We have found it more prac-
ticable, therefore, to buy the
land, either outright or on an
option agreement basis, in or
der to have full control over
the property and to permit the
portion acquired to be used by
the public for recreational and
park purposes.
z. Provide for better land uti-
lization, including the creation
of parks and other open spaces,
through the use of average lot
size coming.
This proposal is the subject of
a new text amendment mo. c.
500 and the Commissions posi-
ton has already been made in
considerable detail in connec-
ton with our staff reports.
Some have assumed that the
use of average lot size coming
would provide automatically for
better land utilization. Density
coming might mean the creation
of more parks and open spaces.
1t doesn't necessarily follow,
however, that such desirable
uses, if they are created, would
be either in the right places
(both geographically and topog-
raphically) or that total better
land utilization is implicit by
virtue of their inclusion. We be-
lieve that the new density con-
troll coming should be tried and
if, after a reasonable period of
time, it does not produce the
desired results, other methods
of control development be ex-
plored.
8. Provide for and encourage
the acquisition of regional and
neighborhood parks by State,
County and Federal Govern
ments and agencies thereof.
The Commission for some
time has been trying to do just
this. For example, we have pre-
pared the park taking lines and
Qualifications for the proposed
Patuxent State Park in Mont.
gomery County for the State
Department of Forests and
Parks.
9. Provide appropriate coming
for planned communities and
for satellite communities, the
latter offering a full range OF
compatible land uses.
This Commission proposed a
separate coming category for

For School Aid

A spokesman for a Protestant

aid to be constitutional, lis
merely legal verbiage designed

there was no constitutional bar
