RIA Ready

Timetable
BY GEORGE WILSON
Star staff Writer

The Redevelopment Land
Agency will start work next
week on a detailed timetable
for the development of South
west property by the New York
realty firm of Webb & Knapp.
John r. Searles, jr.. RIA di-
rector, told the RIA board to-
day the objective Of the coming
conferences is is to put former
slum property under contract
and get buildings on it.
Problems to be resolved with
Webb & Knapp include the
price Of the land and starting
construction dates for various
parcels.
Mr.. Searles said these ne
gotiations represent a new
phase in RLA's relationships
with Webb g. Knapp. Until
now, he said. the negotiations
could not take place because
engineering studies. appraisals
and special legislation were not
in hand.
William Zeckendorf, presi-
dent of Webb g. Knapp, has
said he plans to build a COM
plex Of office buildings and a
hotel along the Tenth street
mall, which will run between
the Southwest freeway and In
dependence avenue. He also is
slated to build a twin to the
Town Center. already in ex-
istence at Fourth and M streets
S.W., as well as town houses
south OF M street.
In another development, the
RIA board heard a proposal for
a five-story motel for the area
bounded by South Capitol, Half,
L and K streets S.W. Harold
Steinberg. president of Downing
Management Corp, of New
York, wants to build a 151-room
motel there, estimated to cost
$1.6 million.
The motel proposal was taken
under study by RIA. The staff
recommendation on the pro-
posal is expected to be made in
two weeks. The price of the
land for the motel site was set
ahead Of time at $506, 900 by
the RIA before it asked for
proposals. The Downing Man
agement Corp. proposal is the
only one under study at this
time.

Instead of eroded banks and
broken down docks. National
Capital Parks wants to develop
grassy stretches and modern
marinas. Mr.. Jett said the plan
will be ready within six months
Once the plan is drawn
National Capital Parks will seek
builders willing to carry it out
The selected developers will re-
turn part of their profits to the
Federal Government. But the
facilities will be open to the
public.
Right now the park staff is
primarily interested in suitable
sites for marinaS. Mr.. Jett
noted the boom in boating and
other water sports. which is
demanding more space in the
Washington area.
Advice on Sites
, Recently National Capital
Parks contracted c. A. CLANCY
and Associates. Bethesda engi-
neering firm, to determine the
best pieces of underdeveloped
park land to use for marinas,
The firm studied such things
as accessibility and exposure to
storms.
The result Of this engineer
iinging study Is the thick re-
port National Capital Parks
will discuss today in connection
with working out a master plan
for waterfront facilities.
I'VE hope to provide a plan
to provide orderly development
of the whole waterfront" Mr.
Jett said. He added that until
the plan is drawn the park Of
ficials will be reluctant to dis
cuss business proposals with
potential developers.
This attitude has irritated
several businessmen on Wash
lington's southwest waterfront
who will have to move to make
way for development Of. the
area between the Municipal
Fish Wharf and Fort McNair
Some of them have complained
to Congress that National Cap

costa is expected to spur

tai Parks marinas. Mr.. Jett
said the study and overall plan
would be paid for with funds
ION hand.
Selected Sites Recommended
Although the engineering
study has not been released,
1t considered sites along the
Anacostia and Potomac which
could be developed into ma
rinaS accommodating 5000
boats all told. However, not
all the sites studied were rec
commended for development by
the engineering firm.
These were the major sites
studied along the Anacostia
for marinas of about 200 boats
each: West bank from Eleventh
street Sc. to Pennsylvania
Railroad Bridge, three to six
marinas; east bank along Ana
costa Park to Benning Bridge /;
two to four marinas.
These were the major sites
studied along the Potomac
Oxon Cove on the Maryland
side, two marinas; on Virginia
side. Daugerfeld Island; mouth
Of Hunting Creek where as
many as 1000 boats could be
docked. and Belle Haven below
Alexandria where at least one
marina could be built.
National Capital Parks owns
the waterfront land studied,
but much Of it is underdevel-
oped and rundown. The river
itself for years has been heavily
polluted.
