CATION N0. ing aad held over untii July 22, 195?, to find out if the Slementery ~

~
It was finaliy agreed by Mr. Lesser that a atreet would be put throu6h ~
to Mr. S~rnes~ property bq the Heffler Construction Companq. Several ~
property owne~s in the area voiced their ob,~ections to the proposed 3
Reciassification from a traffic staadpoint, devaluation of homea, ~
that Single Pamily dweilings would be in demand with a schooi in the ~
area so that childre~ couid walk to the achool, thqt there is oniy ;
one entrance from Romneya Drive on the South amd by Chevy Chase on 3
the North, whi.ch atreet ia all Single Fami.ly Residential, a minimum i
of 400 cars added to the traffic in the area, that there is ample ~
R-3 in i:h~ area at preaent and *hat the Commissior: ahouid plan that ~

(2) If the aubdi.viaion wese tp be redeaigaed with wider and
deeper lots that svould permit a~ine'tqpe of Multiple
houedng and if the street aqstea'~tould be ao reorganized
to permit a gieater degree of accesa to aad from the '
propertq f;oni Romneya Drive, indicating at least two ways
of eatry aad exit for the property, without causing the
traffic geaerated in the areas to paes through singie
family resident3al districts, then the area might properly
be u~_d for muitipie familq usea.
(3) We ~rould be m~st cautious .in setting aside spots of multi-
ple reaiderltial area in the heart of singie famiiy
residen~ial districts without earefui consideration af the
effect that such decisiona wiii have on the long range
overall plaa for city development aad orderly growth.
With Bisaer's report in front of them the consenaus of opinion of
the Commisgioa was that although they originally did recommend this
area i`ar R-3, not enough atudy was g3.ven to the traffic pattern
tbut r~ould be created bq this Multipie Pamilq deveiopment, and the
sma1l size of 2ots with n~ siieys~ whici, aie almoat a requiremen4
far multiple family lots.
