Aubinoe Rezoning Plea
To Be Aired yLackey
By ELY Bradley
/ Sentinel Reporter

Attorney Hal J. Lackey,
flushed with victory over
1900 Silver Spring residents
in his fight for high-rise
apartment coming of the Kay
tract, turns tonight to a
tougher conquest.
This time, the hundreds of
area citizens opposing him will
be backed by the county's pro-
fessional planners, who were on
Lackey's side in the Kay coming.
In tonight's coming case,
Lackey, a member of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee,
will attempt to persuade the
GOP-controlled County Council
it should approve an application
for multi-story apartment use of
North Bethesda land owned by
q leading County Republican.
Involved are 60 homesites in
the northwest corner of the
Wildwood Manor subdivision
owned by developer Alvin L.
Aubinoe and his wife, Dorothy,
a State Central Committee
woman.
Opposing the rezoning are
the Montgomery County Plan

ROCKVILLE - Three recon.
ing requests in Rockville were
approved by the Mayor and
Council Monday night and a
fourth was denied.
Approved were the requests
of:
John F. McAuliffe for CO gen.
eral commercial coming on 1926

Congress and Talbot Sts.,

Denied was the request of
Herbert E. and Dorthoy E. Bry-
ant for II service industrial
coming on $685. SO. #. of land
on Reading Terrace near Maple
Drive. The property remains
zoned RICO single family.
In denying the Bryant re-
quest, the Council instructed its
legal staff to draw up an
opinion stating the reasons for
denial. The opinion to come be-
fore the Council next week for
approval will state that its prin-
ciple reason for denial concerns

The expected big push by
Montgomery Democrats for pre-
cinct control apparently didn't
come off!
At the close of Tuesdays fill
ings for the chairmanships and
vice chairmanships of the coun-
TVS SO precincts it appeared that
there would be contests between
liberal and conservative factions
in not more than II precincts.
The estimate of II came from
Virginia Black, county register
of wills, who led the ticket last
year. Liberal leaders, however,
after looking at the names of
those who filed said they be-
lieved there would be signifi.
cant contests in only II pre-
cincts.
This is a far cry from the
expected showdown fight be-
tween Montgomery Democrats
and Liberal forces over control
of precinct machinery that had
been expected in the Nov. a
Democratic precinct elections as
a result of formation of Mont
gomery Democrats after the
last election.
This was more than idle
speculation. States Attorney
Leonard T. Hardy, elected presi-
dent of Montgomery Democrats
and reelected to that post last
week, told newspapermen that
one of his groups goals was to
field candidates in the coming
Democratic precinct elections
that would do their bidding.
Hardy could not be reached
Tuesday after filing period
closed and a total of 206 candi-
dates had filed. But two other
former Montgomery Democrat
leaders who were reached said
they were no longer even work
ing with the group. Charles B.

Land After
Rezoning

Over 100 acres of undeveloped
property along the east side of
Interstate Route 70-S at Water

rezoned by the County Council
for light industrial use, over
objections of the Montgomery
County Planning Board and its

by a split 80 vote, with Council.

burn absent, and Kathryn E.
Diggs abstaining. 1t could not
be learned Immediately why
Miss Digs disqualified herself
from the vote.
Owner of the entire tract until
July 80 was Dyke Cullum, who
on that date sold 1862 acres to
Donald G. and Kathryn ]. Shook
Of Chevy Chase. Mrs. Shook,
who is a judge of the Circuit
Court here, and her husband
favored the rezoning over plan
ming board objections at the
Councils public hearing on the
application July Is.
A letter from Judge Shook to
the Council, urging its approval
of the rezoning, was made part
of the hearing record. Her hus,
band, Cullum and Board OF
Appeals vice chairman Page F.
Hopkins, speaking as a surveyor
for Cullum, appeared in Its
favor.
Judge Shook explained that
although she had been referred
to as part owner of the tract
she and her husband, in fact,
held only an option to purchase
some 35 acres, said option not
being subject to any coming to
be or not to be granted by this
Council"
In disappearing Cullum's
application for IL coming, the
planning board recommended
the Council permit him to with.
draw his application without
prejudice and that it initiate q
new application of its own for
rezoning of the property to
industrial park use.

Hawaii Trip
Looms For
2 Officials

County Council members
Kathryn E. Diggs and Grover
Walker will enjoy a five-day
visit to Hawaii next month at
the taxpayers expense.
Occasion for the trip will be
the mid-year conference of the
National Alcoholic Beverage
Control Association, a trade
group in which Montgomery
County is the only non-state
member.
The two Council members and
Mrs. Walker will accompany
Circuit Court Judge Kathryn j.
Shook and county Department

James F. Erwin, whose expenses
are to be carried by the NABCA.
Judge Shook will be speaker
at the meeting, and Erwin is the

The special group rate for the
Hawaii stay comes to slightly
over $500 per person, it was
learned.
Council members were allowed
an average of $500 apiece for
travel expenses in this years
budget.
Walker, who said the NABCA
meeting win be held "at quite a
distance from home this time =
but l didn't have anything to do
with that" feels it is important
for members of the Council to
attend.
In 1855, he recalled, the liquor
industry virtually boycotted the
county because Of its practice OF
by-passing distributors to buy
directly from distillers.
NABCA, it is understood,
helped the county at that time
to gather information it needed
to fight the boycott.

New Plan
Wraps Are
Removed

Land owners off the "cor-
ridors" of the proposed mas
ter plan for the future
development of Montgom-
cry County have grounds
for happy speculation this
week.
The Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits.
sion has disclosed it is consider.
ing altering its corridor plan
radically to allow for popula-
ton mushrooms in Olney and
Damascus, not considered when
it issued its blueprint a year
ago.
At the same time, the
planners revised their estimates
of the growth of Germantown,
which lies along the western
corridor, downward by $4,000
people by the Year 1000.
Under revisions spelled out
at an informal briefing last
week, the planners now foresee
greater growth for the commu.
mites of Olney and Damascus
in absorbing the population
expected to swell the size of
Germantown.
The earlier published general
plan, on which hearings have
been held, called for Olney to
grow to only 1890 by the year
1000. Damascus is seen as a
community of 1900 by the turn
of the century.
Upset Of the IOng.pIanned
restriction Of county growth to
two major corridors was dis.
closed Unexpectedly, and repre-
sents a setback for advocates
of controlled development.
Opening wedge in the plan
ners' new approach lay in pro.
posals to include three outlying
sewer projects in the revised
plan projects which the com
missions planning staff have
previously opposed. These are
the Northwest Branch, Western
Branch and Damascus trunk
sewers.
All would invite development
in sparsely-settled areas be-
tween corridors, they have
argued. In the revised plan,
however, the planners consent
to their construction while
urging the County Council to
curb access to them.
Another key feature of the
revision is the apparent .aban-
donment of the controversial
five.acre "open-space" coming
proposed to assure wedges OF
undeveloped land between the
corridors. The planning staff
now recommends substitution
of a two-acre minimum lot re-
quirement in areas designated
open space, principally west of
Germantown and Damascus and
between Rockville and Olney.
A new type Of coming covered
planned communities" also Is
expected TO be part Of final pro-
posals for revision of the gen.
eral plan.

amended version is not expected
