THE EVENING .STAR, 'W. PROPOSED MARKET TONNG IS FOUGHT Property Owners and Gal-| laudet Head Oppose Pat- | ¢ terson Estate Change. * Proponents of additional park and| Playgrounds and advocates of expan- slon of the market development in the WVicinity of Fifth street and Florida ave- fue northeast came to grips in a de- termined contest’ before the Zoning Commission yesterday over the petition for enlarging the second commercial @rea in the section. | Hundreds of property owners in wide- | 1y scattered sections of the city are| in the project, appeared in su of the oning change and Henry A. Pridsy, president of the Maryland, Virginia and District of Columbia Farmers' Market Association, stated that 85 per cent of the members of the body favored as thelr new location the Patterson tiact site. Mr. Peelle explained that the western section of the tract adjoining the rail- road tracks is planned as warehouse sites. The proposed change, however, was | vigorously "denounced by Dr. Percival Hall, president of the Columbia Insti- tution for the Deaf, which operates Gallaudet College, who contended that the change was both unnecessary and objectionable. He pointed out that Gallaudet Col- lege, located on the adjoining area of 103 'acres since 1857, had land valued at $1,200,000 and buildings at $600,000. | He “declared that the Patterson tract heirs owned thousands of square feet of land west of the present market de- velopment which might be used for the expansion of the market. If the strip adjoining the college and park areas were rezoned for second commercial use, | he said, the matter then would pass out of the hands of the commission and the owners in the future could put awaiting the decision in this and the 35 other changes discussed at the | lengthy hearing. The commission will | meet in executive session tomorrow to | pass judgment on the proposals. | In the market case, proponents urged | the need and the logic of enlarging the | second commercial classification so as to permit completion of the $1,000,000 | market project there, whereas opponents | + charged it would be a detriment to the | Patterson tract park and to the adjoin- | ing buildings of Gallaudet College, and | denied the necessity of expanding the | existing commercial zone. ! Stanton C. Peelle, representing | market promoters, recited that a half | million dollars already has been spent for the commission house project along | Fifth street above Florida avenue and declared that the remaining 15 acres | of the tract involved in the zoning petition should be changed to second commercial classification so that pro- vision might be made for farmers and retail phases of the development. Cites Union Station Act. He contended that when Congress passed the Union Station act it really placed this area, bordering on the rail- Toad tracks, in the realm of industrial much_more objectionable structures on the site than those now planned and within 20 years the area would become a low type and unsightly place. Fears Danger to Children. He urged consideration of the fact that the Government has spent $400,000 for the park and declared that while the opening of Sixth street northeast would provide access to the area, the loading and backing of trucks would create a hazard to children going to the park. Dr. Hall also contended the pos- sible second commercial developments along Sixth street would injure the value of the Gallaudet property for school use. Evan H. Tucker, president of the Northeast Citizens’ Association, opposing the change, urged that the area be kept in the residential classification, so that it would encourage the Government to| buy the section as additional play- ground area for the community. Mr. Peelle, in rebuttal, however, said that this appeared to be the “gratitude” of some residents of the section to the heirs of the Patterson estate for permit- ting Northeast residents to use the un- the de:ulnf t»flmmunlw for an adeguate playground. Mr. Peelle contended .that if the Government wished to preserve areas for possible future park development this should be done at Government ex- pense rather than at the cost of the owners of private property. He stated that the tract has been under the cloud of possible condemnation for park pur- poses since 1901, with the tion of the McMillan act, and that since part of the area now had been finally taken for park purposes the remainder should not longer be restricted so that it can- not be developed awaiting the time, if ever, when it might be purchased for playgrounds. R. W. McCullough, attorney repre- senting Gallaudet College, made a strong plea :g:lmt the change, con- tending that western section of the tract, reserved by the owners for ware- should be used by the farmers rather than the part nearer the park and the college. He contended the ohange in zoning would boost the ul!l value of this 15-acre section $1,500,000, by permitting second commercial use, | and therefore was a matter of real es- | tate speculation. Objection also was voiced by George J. Cleary, representing the Trinidad Citizens' ‘Association. ‘Whereas Mr. Peelle presented a signed statement to the effect that the execu- tive committee of the Northeast Busi- ness Men's Association approved the ASHINGTON, D. €., FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1930.
