Reinohl, s mission Has Prevented Apartment Plan. Charging that the Zoning Commis sion is foreing him to erect u “large, 1gly building tead of the attrac dve p which he declares he origi- nally proposed, Harry Wardman, in lecter to the Board of Commissioners, today protested the decision of the commission which is preventing him from carrying out his original plans for the establishment here of the largest apartment house in the world. Mr. Wardman points out that in refusing to allow him to go to the height of 90 feet in the new buildings, the commission is forcing him to build a much less attractive structure merely to meet the present techni- calities of the zoning law. No Opposition Seen. Mr. Wardman in his letter states that his original plan had been ap- proved without qualification by the advisory - zoning council, which is composed of representatives of the Board of Trade, the Chamber of Com- merce and the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Federation of Cltizens' Associations and a number of other civic organiza- tions. He also stresses the fact that no opposition to the plan was made at the public hearing and that his enire scheme seemed to have gen- er: approval. Mr. Wardman states that the area ected comprises 13 acres and that although the single building that he is forced to erect by the decision of the Zoning Commission has a great advantage from the builder’s point of view, namely, economy, it will be unable to avold a monotonous appear- ance. X On Calvert Street. ‘The building is to be located on Cal- vert street between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-eighth, and the original plan calls for the erection of five sep- arate buildings to occupy only 17% per cent of the ground, the balance of which was to be used for parking and garden development. The Zoning Commission refused to allow Mr. Wardman to go up 90 feet, but under the technicalities of the law he can rearrange his plan into one huge building, thus doing away with the parking and garden plan and g0 up 110 feet, he says.
