Staff Correspondent of The Utar. LYON VILLAGE, Va., December 9.— The alleged flaw in the emergency zon- ing ordinance of the board of county supervisors, on which the Lyon Village Citizens' Association is basng its fight to prevent the erection of a filling sta- tion on the Lee Highway at Rucker avenue, would, if sustained by the courts, apply equally as well to the erection of a large oil storage plant in Rosslyn by the Sun Oil Co, it was said today by persons interested in both cases. The executive committee of the eiti- zens’ association, headed by its presi- dent, Robert N. Anderson, an attorney, has pointed out that in a special ord- inance passed last Spring the govern- ng body of the county provided that “no_commercial or industrial structure shall be erected in Arlington County until an application has been filed with and approved by the Zoning Commis- sion and a permit granted by the board of supervisors.” Board Approval Cited. By the passage of this ordinance, which was adopted primarily for the purpose of putting to stop a flow of un- desirable industry during the prepara- tion of the zoning ordinance, Anderson claims that the board has tied its own hands with the clause that requires the “approval of the Zoning Commission.” The Zoning Commission in both cases disapproved the applications and in both cases the board of supervisors over-ruled them and granted the per- mits. These are the only two cases of the kind now in question in the county, the Sun Oil Co.’s proposed plant having been fought by both & number of local associations and the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. In the case of the Lyon Village filling station, the Zoning Commission first ap- proved the application of Mrs. Marie Clark Bell for a permit for the station and then rescinded its previous action when the matter was referred back to them for consideration. ‘The Sun Oil Co. permit was disapproved by the close vote of 3 to 2, after which the board of supervisors granted the permit, as they did in the former case. Nearby residents have voiced their protests in both cases and now claim that if the board was in error in grant- ing the filling station permit they were also in error in granting the permit for the large storage plant. In order to make further preparations for the fighting of the project, which will in all probability eventually reach | the courts, the executive committee of the Lyon Village Citizens’ Associa: tion and the zoning committee of the same association will hold a special meeting tomorrow night. Hiram Critchton is chairman of the zoning committee, May Combine Efforts. While . those opposing each of the propositions have not yet combined in their effoits it was intimated today that such steps are being contemplated and that both cases may be presented at the same time. Closely allied with the Sun Oil Co. plant is the set of questions that was sent out recently by Lieut, Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, executive officer of the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission, in which he seeks information as to the commercial water front needs of the county as to whether this t; or residential development is of the most value to the county. A public meeting to consider a gl;oper answer to these questions will held in the chamber of commerce rooms tomorrow night by the special committees of the Civic Federation and Organized Wom- en Voters. Col. Grant has stated in the let- ters ‘accompanying the questions that the . answers must be. in his office by December 15 in order that they may be presented at the regular meeting of his commission. It is generally be- lieved that the decision of the War De- partment on the question of whether the ol company may use that water front for shipping purposes, which is to be made public on December 20, has been held up to await the outcome of the meeting of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. A letter addressed to the Arlington County Zoning Commission, which was made public today by Dr. J. N. Roberts, whose property adjoins that to be ac- quired by the Sun Oil Co. and who has waged a bitter fight sgainst the location of the plant at that point, states that Mr. Roberts does not agree that Rosslyn should be limited as a com- mercial center, as has been suggested, but thinks that the commercial water front_development is not necessary.
