NeWMove on
Norwood

A move by the Fairfax Coun-
ty Planning Commission to re-
hear the Merrywood apartment
rezoning case was opposed yes
terday by the Board Of County
Supervisors.
On a motion by Supervisor
A. Claiborne Leigh, who repre-
SentS the district which in
cludeS Merrywood, the board
voted unanimously to "encour-
age the planning commission to
discontinue" its reconsidera-
ton.
The planning commissioners,
said Mr.. Leigh. have made to
some degree a mockery Of their
function" The commission a
week ago voted to hold another
public hearing on the proposal
to build three History tower
apartments on route 1913 over
looking the Potomac River.
Supervisors, by a S to 2 vote,
rezoned the land for the multi
million dollar apartment prof.
ect on April Is. The action has
caused bitter controversy in the
Mclean area, and citizens there
have challenged the rezoning
in court.
Vice Chairman Anne wilkins,
who voted against the rezoning
on April Is, said she supported
Mr.. Leigh'S motion because the
case is now in Circuit Court.
She said she felt coming matters
pending in court should not
be considered either by the
board or the planning COM
mission.
Supervisor John Parrish,
said he considered the commits
sion's move. "presumptous." He
noted the planning commission
recommended against the re-
coming earlier.

own.
A spokesman for the group

organization by 1864, when all

Mayor Mann said that he
agrees in many respects with
the committees report. How
ever, in reference to its recon-
mendations, he added, Where
the reporting ends and imple-

Concerning a committee sug-
gestion that the city permit

Mann said that this move
would help only a few high
