Btws Rtuitw · City Council Session Centers On Charlestowne Village Pool
by Dorothy Sucher
The presence of developer Charles Bresler at the City Council meeting on Monday, May 17, gave councilmen and citizens an opportunity to question him about four items on the agenda, all involving 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.

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 Corporation, 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 planning to -build the homes, items such as design (to fill the needs of prospective 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 the 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 townhouse more easily than the more expensive free-standing homes. Directors, Schwan and E. Burgoon noted that if the free-standing homes '.l)roved to be in great de-m a n d, Gm would certainly go ahead ,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 questionnaire, which included questions on this iproject, have not •been analyzed yet Cby Bruce Bowman, in the hospital at the present time) but Breashears indi-ted that member response has been very favorable. A motion •by -director Gerry Goug h •was passed to set up a board meeting June 1st to consider the new housing in more detail.
Refina.nclng Plan 'l'.lte Twin Pines proposal in its
latest form provides 10-year refinlllldng on d'ranle homes and 15-yea.r refinancing on brick homes at Ii% inst&llment rates; it was formally accepted on a motion 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 commended 'by GHI president Charles Schwan lfor coming up with a workable ·plan.
Nursery School Brea.shears reported that he had
loolred into tlhe Greenbelt Nursery School's question coneerning possible use of a GHI unit tor expansion of i-ts program, and found that for one or an.other reason the 3.1'
rangement w ould not be feasible. The •board "regretfully" denied the request. CThe Nursery Sohool has since been accommodated in its present quarters, it has been learned.)
Manager Brea.shears !l nd direct or O 'Reilly gave an interesting report on bheir visit to "'Pennypack," a cooperative housing project in Pennsylvania. Pennypack has many unusual features which male:, for 11 very efficiently run community a.nd I\ high degree of member par-
ticipatlon ; this results in a very stable memberahirp with low turnover. Details of this report will probably be published in a forth comin,g GI-il newsletter.
Chairman Schwan reminded all present of the purposes of the "Citizens for a Planned Greenbelt" group and urged everyone to join. In this connection, director Gough noted that apparently the owner of the "Golden Triangle" at Kenilworth and Green•belt Road has "denuded" 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.
Schwan ex,pressed h:is thanks to the rest of the board for their co-operation during the past year, and to Mrs. "Jeff'' Chapman for whom the meeting was her last as she will not be running again for the board.
Public Hearing June 2 On u•icipal udget
The public hearing on the 1965-66 municipal budget will be held on Wednesday, June 2, 8 p.m. in t he city offices. Next week the city will hold a series of meetings with the city department heads. On Monday, :May 24, the general government and miscellaneous items will be coruridered; on Tuesday, May 25, the public works budget; and on Monday, May 31, ,the recreation budget.
The police department budget was discussed last Tuesday in the first of the budget meetings. The 1965-66 budget calls for total expenditures of $100,400, an increase of $14,200 over the current year. New items costing $5,800 consisted of an additional police officer, the addition of a teletype service, and establishm ent of motor vehicle registration books.
The balance of the increase is mainly due to th<! 7-8 ,percent aalary increase voted last year and to the transfer of half the 1·cceptionist's salary w hi c ,h wa"S -previously charged to the Executive budget. Other items ,contr ib uting to the increase are expenditures for motor fuel, tires, and parts.

Bresler will be presenting a 4>0tition to the county commissioners a t a hearing tomorrow, requesting a special exception permitting construction of a swimming pool for residents of his Charlestowne Vil• laige developme'nt. The pool has been the subject of considerable local controversy in recent weeks.
Location of Pool The location of the pool was the
point a t issue. Bresler had proposed build'ing it on P a rcel B , across the la k e from the new La.kecrest homes a t the end of Lakeside Drive. Micha.el Foley, a ttorney for bhe residents in the Lakecrest subdivision 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 lities (specifically, a swimming pool) approved by the city, which were afterwards to beoome the property of the city. Bernstein noted th at the land has not yet been deeded to the city.
Alternative Site for Pool Bresler stated he was willing to
build the rpool in a different location. "I promised to build the city a pool," he said. "Bu t 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 southwest of Lakecrest Drive extended.
Antique Car Show Grecnbelt's Third Annual Antique
Car Show will be held this Sunday, May 23, at the G reenbelt Shop.ping Center on Centerway. The antique cars will be rolling into town and on display between the hours of 1 and 5 p.m.
All autos will be from 25 to 55 years old. according to Henry Davis, of Kay Dee Furniture Company who is the president of the Greenbelt Shopping Center Association, sponsors of the show.
Trophies will be presented fol" various categories. Mayor Edgar Smith and other city officials are expected to be present. Miss Carolyn Finley, M iss Greenbelt of 1964.-65. will present one of ,the trophies.
Latest estimates are that about 60 antique cars will be on display.
The Greenbelt Concert Band, under the direction of Howard Carle, will provide a musical background.
Mayor Edgar Smith adjourned the meeting briefly while citizens, officials, and the developer cluster• ed around a large ma p of the area. Some Lakecrest citizens expressed. confusion a bout the actual location of the newly proposed site, and their feelings 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 Friday'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 Lakeorest 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 newly 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.
If the pool is built on Prince James Wa:y instead of the site proposed earlier, it will not become the property of the cty. In response to questions from council, Bresler stated that the parcel of tpairkland promised to the city would probably be deeded within the next four or :five months.
Petition on Clearing Debris A petition bea ring 19 signatures,
and accompanied by photographs, was presented by Lakecrest residents asking the city's help in clearing construction debris caused by B resler's ·building activities in the area, which have created an unsig,htly and allegedly unhealthful situation.
Both Bresler and the city council ex.pressed their willingness to do wha,t; they could. Cowieilman Clifford Simonson proposed that city workmen clear away deb ris le.ft on land owned by Bresler, with the city to be reimbursed by the developer. B resler will e,q>lore this ,possibility further with the city manager. Several councilmen will meet with La:kecrest residents on Saturday morn1ng for a first-hand view of llh.e situation.
Apartment Zoning Opposed Bresler is petitioning for rezoning
of Parcels 1 and 2 to R-330 (apartments), and the city council decided to recommend to the county commissioners that this petition be denied. A -la.rge area of land is involved, and the Greenbelt Master Plan provides for single family homes and parkland, as well as some apartments (R-30). In a lengthy statement, wh ich was greeted with a'P'I)lause, Councilman Simonson commented that de• velopers consistently want a higher

"This is the chief stumbling block," he commented, addin g, "on the basis cf traffic mor e than anything else, the city wants to hold population density down." 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.
The city council questioned Bresler about repor ts that he was planning a 490 unit development in Cha rlestowne Village in violation of covenants limiti ng the development to 350 units, Bresler denied the a llegation, stating that at p resent he s planning 178 units, in addition to the 120 now completed or in construction.
