low bid of $98,879 submitted by Nazario Construction Co. ~f . . College Park Woods for the reconstruction. of Southway Road. This bid is close to the amount alloCated for the improvement from AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER the $950,000 bond issue recently s:;o:!:ld;:;,·----------:

CHAPTER 2 OF TOllHOUSE SAGA IIFOLDS AT GHI BOARI MEETIIG

by Sandra Barnes Again townhouse problems occupied much of the regular

Greenbelt Homes, Inc., board meeting April 9. Manager Roy Breashears reported that bids had gone out for the placement of laterals, which are expected to alleviate the wet basements. It was pointed out that the drainage costs would be added to the final cost of the houses.

Milton Hoffman, of the audit committee, wanted to know why the contractor wasn't held respon· sile for these costs. He also stated that he felt, from his personal ap-. praisal, that the drain work had not been done properly.

Maintenance engineer, David Kane, replied that the contractor ·built the drains according to ap­proved plans. Therefore, he could not be held accountable for the water problems now occurring. Kane also strongly affirmed, "If it (the drain work) was a poor job, everyone up there would be having problems instead of just three or four." Jj

Townhouse Meeting Director Nat' Shlnderman repor­

ted on his meeting with a number of townhouse people the previous week, during which mutual views were exchanged. He noted that bi-monthly meetings will be tak­Ing place until all problems are Tesolved.

Shindennan asked the manager and madntenance engineer l·f the builder was working at a reason­able rate to complete his job. The answer, "He's moving as fast as he's going to which Is somewhat better than he had been doing, but not as much a.s he ehould be do­ing."

Dis.trict Council Studies Glen Oaks Exception

The county commissioners sit-· tlng as the District Council took under advisement on Friday, April 3, the request of· Glen Oaks. apart­ments for a special exception to permit bedrooms in excess of the number permitted by zoning or· dinance.

The developers of the project, Rozansky and Kay, asked the present percentage ratio of 50-40-10 for ~ne, two, and three-bedroom units be modified to 33-49-18, and that dens and family-rooms not be counted as bedrooms, as under the present ordinance. The owners, represented by Herbert Reichelt, offered to include certain restric­tions on occupancy with the spe­cial exception. Such a special ex­ception, it was argued, Is needed in order to provide quality apart­ments.

City manager James Giese, rep­resenting Greenbelt, said that It would be very difficult to enforce· occupancy restrlctlonf!, Giese also said that It Is not the number of bedl'OOIJIS that can be eonstructed but, rather, the geneml market conditions that makes quality con­struction feasible. He &1110 thou&'ht that the granting of the special exception would not be consistent with surrounding land use zoning and would set an undesirable pre-

There was some dlscusllion about the penalty clause In the builder's eontraet, and it was pointed out that the builder had not been no­tifying GHI in wriblng of the rea· sons tor the delaY'S, as his contract specified he should. Thomas White, of the audit committee asked where the cut-off point ~auld be. At what point, he asked, would the penalty be effected?

Open-Space Grant'

The council gave final approval to a resolution authorizing the city to apply to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for an open-space grant to help purchase the Holy Cross Lutheran Church site, the Furey tract, and the Springhill Lake golf course property. The three properties were combined Into one application at the request. of the Department.

The city estimates the properties will cost $424,320, half of which is expected to come from the open­space grant.

Swimming pool rates

The council accepted city mana­ger James Giese's recommendation that swimming pool rates not be changed for the 1970 season. The family season rate for residents will remain at $28; a single per­son's rate will be $17. Dally ad· mission will be 90 cents for adults and 110 cents for children. The charges are higher for non-resi­dents - a family pass being $60 for the season, with proportionately higher rates tor the other cate­gories.

The eouncil also looked with fa-~vor at the manager's suggestion

that dlacounta of $1 be oftered on BeMOn P- II tiler llnl pur­chased ahead ot. time. The favor-

WHAT GOES ON

as!essment improvement a road­way bridging Indian Creek to con­nect Cherrywood Lane with the industrial property. The· cost of the project, estimated at $1110,000, would be fully assessed against Springhill Lake over a liS-year period.

The reason for asking the city's participation is to provide Spring· hill Lake, with more favorable fin­ancing arrangements than it could otherwise obtain. The city would sell its bonds and back them with its credit, thus providing a more favorable interest expense. · ·

Harold Kramer, owner-represen­tative of Springhill Lake, said th8t in other areas governmental. agen• cies have furnished road access facilities to industrial property without charge· to encourage the industrial development and the ad· ded valuation for its tax base.

The council referred the matter to its city solicitor to study the legality of the proposal and its effects on city bond limitations.

City vs. County Council was. not happy over a

decision by the county commis­sioners not to pay for street lights requested by the city for the inter­section of Greenbelt Road and Lo.kecrest Drive. According to Gi~~o~~e, the INMIUI!IIt Willi deaied OD the 'bu1s tbet the county ut:lllzea license ·'tag JDOnles paid· to 1t.. b)" the ~e for thf• PUJ'IIO&e, and that since sucb fund8 are a1ao paJd to the city, the city should assume the responsib!Uty.

Giese observed that the county has been furnishing all other street lighting on Greenbelt Road (a county road). He sald that for each dollar of Ilcense tag fees paid to the State by city residents, a dollar is also paid to the county, Therefore, the county receives as much money from city residents from license tag fees as the city does. He argued that the citizens of Greenbelt should receive some benefits from this money.

Kane seemed to feel that the ·builder thought he had legitimate reasons for the delays, particularly the one Involving completion of the parking lots. It appears that the city imposed certain construc­tion requirements after the or­dginal plans had been approved. Therefore, among oth.er things, re­vised plans had to be devised and then submitted to the Maryland National Park and Planning Com­mission.

In reply to the city's concern over Insufficient parking spaces planned for the new project, owner Allan Kay said that during con­struction it was the practice to construct the minimum number of spaces required, and if this was found to be Insufficient, they would later provide additional parking. He also said that he would be, willing to allocate a ball field fa­cility if the District Council made that a condition. The city had ex­pressed concern that no such facil­ity was planned.

''If this money is to be used for street lighting purpnses, it wnulrl seem logical," he. s: .id, "that the cou!lty would usc· the m.1ncy throughout the county for the light­ing of major nrtrrial highways." He charged that thl• county p<>licy discriminn.tes against residents of municipalities.

Action Urged Board chairman, Charles Schwan,

said, "Let's see what we can do to illustrate some muscle." It was alP'eed that manage~nt would seek legal advice on hoW to pro­ceed to assure "that the work on the t~wnhouse Is performed satis­factorlaly and expPditlously." Di­·rector David Lange added that the townhouse purchasers should be Informed of all such proceedings. It was also agreed that the cor­poration withhold such sums tlf money as necessary to Insure that the work 18 done satisfactorily.

ZJg Valtyzls, a townhouse pur­chaser, said that "things were not proceeding as thry were presented tonight." He did not agree that the contractor was woridng even moderately hard to solve the pro­blems.

Milton HotTman also expressed his vlow that the townhouse people were being treated as "second­class citizens" In that they weren"t getting the work done on the! r homes and they were being charg­ed with the drainage cost. Instead ot the contractor or the entire membership sharing the burden.

The $22 million project Is to be located east of the Baltimore­Washington Parkway and south of Greenbelt road (between the Schrom airport property and the Pepco right-ofway). Plans call for a 1,172-unlt luxury-type, garden apartment, replete with a com­munity building, swimming pool, tennis courts, and extensive land­scaping with 70 percent green space. The project will be target-ed to attract famllles In the $12,000 to $25,()00 income range, mainly from Goddard Spaee Center.

City Receives Support On School Site Issue

On Tuesday, March 31, the Prince Goorges County Civic Fed­eration adopt('(] a resolution sup­porting the city of Greenbelt In opposing the construction of a school complex on parcel 2 (the land between the Baltimore-'Vash­lngton Parkway and Greenbelt Homes, Inc.).

O'Reilly also proposed a motion, which was unanimously accepted to consult with council to force th~ builder lb proceed with all due speed to complete the homes.

John O'Reilly's reJ!Ignatlon from the board, effective as of May 20, was greeted , with deep regret and fond memories by all of the board. O'Reilly has accepted a job In Detroit, Michigan, but will be a­vailable on week-ends to complete his finance comml ttee' s. business.

Shindennan paid special tribute to O'Reilly, noting that he, Shln­dennan, had known every board member since GHI's Inception, and "no one has done more than John. He used his tenacity and couv mon sense - .. In what was a labor of love tor the community," Shln­derman warmly concluded.

Ke.therlne Keene commented that some members of Pennypack, a co-op In north Philadelphia, have been invited to go on the upcoming GHI Home Improvement Tour.

The next meeting of ECHO will be held here In Greenbelt, and Shlnderman suggested that the member relations committee or a special ad hoc committee be fonn­ed to make arrangements for the meeting and al8o to make BUg«es­

How about automatic controls? Does your old oven know when to stop baking and start warming? Or boast a surface unit that keeps a pot at the temperature you want?

If that's a fair description of what your old range doesn't do, no wonder cooking's not much fun any more.

You need a new electric range. The kind that has all the automatic features you could ever want. Including a self­cleaning oven that really cleans itself; broiler, racks, surface unit drip pans, too.

News Review by AI Skolnik What started out at last Monday's city council meeting as a

short status report on the school site situation turned into a full­blown hour and a· half discussion on the city's strategy and tactics for securing a favorable disposition of the crisis. Repeated ques­tioning from an aroused audience made it clear why council had decided at the previous meeting to place the school site mat­ter automatically on its meeting agenda until the issue was re­solved.

New Circulation Manager ·For Greenbelt News· Review

A supervised mini-bike program endorsed by the city was one of the recommendations made last week by the city's Park and Recreation Advisory Board.

Beginning this week Mrs. Sumi Whitehead, 5-B Crescent. will a&­

sume the duties of Circulation Manager for the Greenbelt News Review in the core area of Gren­belt. She succeeds Mrs. Delores Downs who has held the post for the past 3 years. Mrs. Whitehead's telephone number is 474-1231.

The status report started with a statement by Mayor Francis W. White that the Governor's office had been in touch with him as to whether the Prince Georges Coun­ty Board ot Education had met ~th the city council as directed

He said that the C!ourtl are extremely reluctant to interfere with administrative decisions of bodlea that derive their authority from the State leglslature.

The National Park Service has agreed to the use of mini­bikes in the Greenbelt Regional Park provided the program has professional adult supervision and the mini-bikers are organized i'll a club which could enter into agreements for the enforcement of safety and mechanical requirements.

by Joint Resolution SJR-81. This rP.solution, passed in the closing moments of the 1970 session ot the General Assembly, provides for a moratorium on the construction of a senior high school on pa~l 2 (land adjacent to the Baltimore­Washington Parkway) until the school board has explored alter­nate sites with the city council of Greenbelt. The resolution is await­ing the signature of Governor Marvin Mandel, and White urged that the Governor sign the resolu­tion as soon as possible.

The NPS said it would reserve three hard-surface roads in the Park for specified afternoon hours, starting May 1. Two of the poten­tial road loops would be more than mile-long circuits.

In its report. #3-70, PRAB urged the city to appropriate $250 in the present fiscal year for supervision of the program. It suggested that the city seek east-sharing from the county, since the program would be open to non-Greenbelters, inas­much as the Park is a Federal in­stallation.

"Conceding that the school board decision was a bad one," Nanna said, "this will not give you a remedy in court." The city, he opined cannot do anything legally to cha~ge the school site situation. ''The remedy lies in a political solution -·to try to persuade the new school board members to change their minds." He hoped that the school board would grant a hearing to Greenbelt.

PRAB also asked the city to pro­vide minimal transportation to and from the Park, the cost of whieh could be offset, in large part, by the mini·bike club.

The school board, which met with the council on April 7, first decided to grant Greenbelt an open hearing and then reversed itself. City solicitor Emmett Nanna ex­pressed the opinion that the turn­ing point occurred when the ques­tion Cfliile up of how to title the hearing. School board attorney Paul Nussbaum intimated that if the hearing discussed alternative school sites, it might provide a basis for renewed litigation.

Dr. Price began the discussion by enumerating the threats to the ecology ot Greenbelt, both those threatening to the character ot the town as a whole, and those speci­fically related to one area of pol­lution or destruction. Listed as related to one area of destruction were the school site, the perimeter road, the threat to Greenbelt Na· tiona! Park by the Golden Triangle, and the destruction of the shore­line and development of facilities at Greenbelt Lake. ·

thought that another factor was that the school board had already Invested considerable money in ar­chitectural services for a school complex on parcel 2. Councilwo­man Elizabeth Maffay said that some of the school board members were also influenced by the !act that State aid had been promised for the perimeter road which was intended to relieve th~ impact of school traffic on the narrow streets of Greenbelt's core.

The audience's thirst for further action, however, was not yet· satis­fied. A question came up on the Impact of the reverter clause in the school property sales contract and whether it was a legally exe­cuted document. The reverter clause provides that if parcel 2 land purchased by the school board is not used for school purposes, the former owners would have the first option to btiy back the land at

Nanna and the council did not seem to think that the document was too relevant. White observed that the reverter clause should not be a barrier to the school board changing the site since it, in ef­fect, assures the school board that it will get back its purchase price money. After further inquiry by Save -our Community Committee representatives, the councll deci­ded to ask management to seek a determination as to whether the reverter clause was a legally exe­cuted document.

After listening to and participat· ing in the rather heated discussion from the many mPmbers of the group, Dr. Price offered some con­crete and positive suggestions. He sugg!$ted that the G.H.I. Board, the Boxwood Civic Association, the Lakeside and Lakewood Civic associations send representatives to form an advisory board with civic groups from Springhill LakP, Lakeside North and other apart­ment dcwlopmcnts. This board could review further planped de­velopment in this area and advise their membership as u; the quality of the plans and also advise them as to whether these plans wiU dis· rupt the total ecology and char­

acter ot the city. Dr. Price stated that all of the

problems relating to pollution and eoology in the GN>enbelt al'!'a stem from the population growth.- The population In GN>enbelt has doub­led in the last ten years and is expected to top 37,000 people by 1980.

NEW OIL LEAKAGE EvidPnce of new oil leakage into

the inlet streams leading to the lake hjlS been discovered during the past week, City Manager James K. Giese has announced. The city has not yet traced the source, and a search will be made Involving climbing into manholes and track­ing sewer lines with the aid of a map. As soon as the source is discoVPrt'd, the owner of the pro­pPrty chargNI with the leakage, as wdl as the State, will be notified."

No immediate danger to the lakr is involved, Giese point<'d out, since the oil traps established on the Inlet streams to contain the carlier leakage are sUI! intact. Almost no oil has been able to penetrate beyond these trap.s.

Another result of oil pollution was also brought to the city's at­tention -~ though not on etty pro­perty. The A. H.
