Palisades

Zonine Fails

The District Zoning Commits
sion turned down yesterday a
request for a coming change to
permit construction of a high
rise luxury apartment building
on the Potomac Palisades.
The application rejected had
been made by the Rozansky and
Kay Construction Co., 1411 K
street N. w.
The company had asked for
permission to build a 254-unit
apartment building on a 312-
acre plot now zoned for single
family residence.
The plot is bounded by @
street, Clark place, the shore of
the Potomac and property south
Of Macarthur boulevard occu-
pied by ow-density apartments.
The application had been OPP
posed vigorously by representa-
tives of the Palisades Citizens
Association.
The coming commission also
rejected a request that 1t ban
above-ground oil storage tanks
In areas zoned for light indus
trial use.
This coming amendment had
been proposed by the Michigan
Park Citizens Association. 1t
was supported by the Turkey
Thicket Citizens Association
and several other citizens

Meta Is Seen
Inconsistent on
Roads in Parks

The proposed mass transit
plan for Metropolitan Washing
ton employs different criteria
on using park land for high
ways, according to the tech
nical staff of the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
In a report to the commits
sion today, the staff said that
the National Capital Trans
portation Agency is opposed to
bringing highways into the Dis
trict on parkland but ap-
parently is not opposed to using
similar land in suburban
Maryland.
The transit plan fails to
recommend highway corridor
along Wisconsin avenue, but
urges the construction of new
roads to make a major artery
of Little Falls parkway through
Bethesda.
This parkway and its adj
joining neighborhood are in
every sense as high quality as
those bounding Glover-Arch-
bold parkway tin the District)
and we see no reason for such
radical distinction being made
between those two stream valley
parks" the staff said.
The staff stressed the re-
port was only a preliminary
analysis" of the transit plan
and was because the NCPA re-
quested comment before Sat-
urday.
Other points of the transit
plan criticized by the staff in
cluded:
/. The suggestion that over
passes be used to speed traffic
on Wisconsin avenue. The staff
said this type OF construction
is costly and disruptive, and
would cause considerable con-
fusion at the East-WeSt high
way intersection.
2. The plan to carry COM
muter cars through the west
ern portion of Montgomery
County to Silver Spring and
into the District on a route
paralleling the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad tracks. The
staff said that studies show
there is no easy route through
this area which has consider
able commercial industrial and
residential development.
3. The plan to halt the An
acostia- Henson Greek express
way at Alabama avenue near
the end of Suitland parkway in
the District. The planners said
this area suffers from traffic
Jams today. and we do not
think this will change by 1880"
They suggested the expressway
be linked TO the Inner Loop.
The Maryland planners also
criticized the transit agency's
suggestion that portions Of the
Inner Loop system in the Dis
trict be abandoned.
