Qircenhclt Btws Rtuitw · City Council Session Centers On Charlestowne Village Pool by Doroth y Sucher The presence of developer Charles Bresler at the City Council meeting on Monday, May 17, gave councilmen and citizens an op- portunity to question him about four items on the agenda, all in- volving property owned by Bresler . Bresler explained his plans at some length, and although he stated at one point, "After four years, gentlemen, you've got me tired out," he seemed in excellent form except for partial laryngitis, which obliged him to use the microphone. Also present was a crowd of new residents from Charlestowne Village and the Lakecrest subdivision. For many, it was the first council meeting they had attended. AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER_ Volume 29, Number 26 GREENBELT,MARYLAND GHI OK's Home-building; Approves Refinancing Plan The projected new GHI building program for 4 free-standing homes was given a boost at Thursday's board of directors meeting, as management expressed its readiness to go ahead and some members showed high interest in them. In other business, the refinancing proposal of Twin Pines Savings and Loan Corporat- ion, which has been in the process of negotiation for some weeks, was accepted by motion with some minor conditions included. Manager Roy Brea.shears noted th.at i:f GHI were definitely plan- ning to -build the homes, items such as design (to fill the needs of pros- pective owners) and priorities should be undertaiken soon, and asked "onee and for all, are we going am.ea..d with these homes?" To answer his question, the board a. motion by Director John O'Reilly that "once and for all " GI-il proceed with the project. The manager stated that th e machinery of ;h.i.ring architects, surveyors, etc. could now be set in motion. The -i hom~ would be located on the GHI-owned lots Jn the Woodland Way - Nor.thway area. Mrs. Foster, a member of the audiooee, made a plea for serious consideration of townhouses, em- phasizing that many members in her situation could afford a town- house more easily than the more expensive free-standing homes. Di- rectors, Schwan and E. Burgoon noted that if the free-standing homes '.l)roved to be in great de- mand, Gm would certainly go a- head , with the townhouses also. , Schwan suggested furtiher that a m eeting might be arranged with an the members who are seriously interested; if enough people showed they want townhouses, this might be done concurrently. The re.9\.Llt5 of the Long-Range Planning Committee's question- naire, which included questions on this iproject, have not been analyzed yet Cby Bruce Bowman, in the hospital at the present ti me) but Breashears indi-ted that member response has been very favorab le. A motion •by -director Gerry Gough •was passed to set up a board meet- ing June 1st to conside r the new housing in more detail. Refina.nclng Plan 'l'.lte Twin Pines proposal in its latest form provides 10-year re- finlllldng on d'ranle homes and 15- yea.r refinancing on brick homes at Ii% inst&llment rates; it was form- ally accepted on a mot ion by O'Reilty which also stipulated that Twin Pines make a fair a.ppraisal and !end only 80% of the appraisal, require that the lender actually have the 20% downpayment (not borrlJWin.g It from some other source) and limit loans to those people who have a real need. O'Reilly, as treasurer, Breashears and Dave McGinn have been negotiating the details of this ar- ,rangement wi.th Twin Pines for some time now a.nd were com- mended 'by GHI president Charles Schwan lfor com ing up with a work- able · plan.

The board "regretfully" denied the request. CThe Nursery Sohool has since been accommodated in its present quarters, it has been learned.)

In this connection, director Gough noted that apparently the owner of the "Golden Triangle" at Kenil- worth and Greenbelt Road has "de- nuded" the land even before any zoning change · has been granted or denied, and cited this as an example of the attitude that Greenbelters have to deal with.

The pool has been the subject of considera ble local controve rsy in recent we e ks. Location of Pool The lo cation of the pool was the point at issue. Bresler had proposed build'ing it on Pa rcel B, across the lake from the new La.kecrest homes at the e nd of Lakeside Drive. Micha.el Foley, a ttorney for bhe residents in th e Lakecrest sub- division explained that, while the group did not oppose construction of the pool, they did not want it adjacent to their property. They felt it would create a traffic hazard and reduce property values, and that the lights of the pool would be a nuisance at night. The group plans to asp-pear at thei hearing on Friday, an<i they asked that a city representative join them. Councilman Lewis Bernstein then described, for the record, the history of the land in question. He recalled that in 1962 Bresler had agreed to give - the city a parcel of land for recreational use. By the terms of the agreement, Bresler was permitted to erect recreational faci l ities (specifically, a swimmi ng pool) approved by the city, which were afterwards to beoome the property of the city. Bernstein noted that the land has not yet been d eeded to the city. Alterna tive Site for Pool Bresler stated he was willing to build the rpool in a different loca- tion. "I promised to b uild the city a pool," he said. "But if the citizens don't want a ,pool, believe me, they oon't have to ha.ve it." He pro- . posed another site, on Prince James Way sou thwest of Lakecrest Drive ext end ed.

Trophies will be presented fol" various categories. Mayor Edgar Sm ith and othe r city officials are expected to be present.

The Greenbelt Concert Band, under the direction of Howard Carle, will provide a musical back- ground. Mayor Edgar Smith adjourned the meeting briefly while citizens, officials, and the developer clustered around a large map of the area. Some Lakecrest citizens expressed. confusi on a bo ut the actual loca- tion of the newly proposed site, and their fe elings were summed up by a woman who said , "We don't have any objection to the pool as long as we don'rt have to see it." Bresler· .promised to , post a marker at the site before Frida y' s hearing, the oowicil passed a motion urging llh.e county commissioners to a gree to a special e!Xception for the site most acceptable to the Lake- orest residents, and City Manager James Giese was directed to attend the hearing on behalf of the city. Mayor Smith commented, "It looks like everybody i8 on the same side and just ditln't realize It." Clell Harral, president of the new- ly formed Charlestowne Village Citizens Association, commented that before residents had moved into the Charlestowne Village they had lbeen promised exclusive use of a swimming rpool, free of charge.

The orga nization is called the Citizens Political Action Associa­tion. Its director, Simon M . Pris­toop of Greenbelt said it seeks m embership from tho~e 'sufficient­ly frightened by t he prospect of .four years of machine rule."

The group is one of several non­partisan organizations that have been formed in the Washington ::i r ea to permit Federal employees to take p a rt in local politics with­out running afoul of Hatch Act rPstrictions.

Pristoop said the organization would be "a nonpartisan associa­tion concerned wieh the establish­ment and maintenance of a govern­ment of m a: ·imum responsiveness to the needs of all sectors of the community and of maximum re­sponsibility."

The primary objective, Pristoop said, will be to eraluate govern­mental p rograms, "generate new programs that are necessary fo1· the commun ity, and support or promote officials or candidates for office who endorse these p rograms."

It Aims Are Listed The association w ill "support

modernization of the County gov­ernment, in structure and fun ction, with adequate safeguards to a ssure that the public business is subject to a full accounting ."

He predict ed that Greenbelt Road will become t h e most da ngerous h ighway in the United States, if densities proposed in the Area 13 plan are realized.

Otherwise, he has "no plans," said B res le 1·, a dding that h e has spent a g reat deal of mon ey on drawings and scale models later rendered unusable by changes in master plans, street layouts, and school sites.
