WALSHPROPERTY REZDNIG DENIED « Commission Rejects Plea After Many Protests Are Received. Denial of the petition by the estate of Mrs, Carrie Walsh for conversion of the mansion at 2020 Massachusetts to eommercial use was announced last night by the District Zoning Com- mission after it had acted on most . of the 43 proposed changes in prop- erty classifications, considered at a two-day public hearing. Only six of the petitions were granted outright. Rejection of the commercial classi- fleation of the Walsh property had been expected because of the barrage of protests that was registered by | other property owners of the fash- fonable residence avenue, despite a! plea by an attorney for the American | Security & Trust Co., as trustee, that the drain on the Walsh estate must be diminished. | The commission granted only two | of the eight proposals it had offered on its own initiative, flatly denied two | |3 others in thelist and deferred action | | on two more. In the other two com- migsion proposals it approved only | portions of its suggestions. Garrity Loses Battle. Raymond Garrity again lost an- other round in his continued battle to gain an apartment zoning for prop- L erty on the south side of Macomb | street, to the east of Connecticut ave- | nue. Such a petition had been denied geveral times by the commission. | The case was bitterly fought at the | eonclusion of the hearing yesterday | Afterncon. The property is near| Klingle parkway. The proposal was to change the zoning from residential | A-restricted to residential 60-foot C | area | The two commission proposals which were approved provide for the fol-! owing: Change from A-semi-restricted resi- dential area to residential A-restricted area property on the west side of Forty-fifth street between Western avenue and Harrison street. Change from first commercial use | to residential, 40-foot B area, prop-| [} erty on the north side of Harrison | &treet between Forty-fourth street and ‘Wisconsin avenue. Denies Two Changes. Because of lack of support from | property owners, the commission de- nied its own proposals for the fol-| lowing two changes: To reduce the height limit from 60 to 40 feet on| the property, zoned residential, on | the west side of Wisconsin avenue be- | tween Calvert and Garflald streets, and to substitute A-semi-restricted for A-restricted, the classification of & number of parcels near Mti. Alto Hospital on Thirty-eighth street and other streets in the adjoining area. As expected, the commission de- ferred action on its proposal for ex- tensive resoning for a large tract on thHe Takoma area, bounded by Whit- tler street, Eastern avenue, Sligo Mill road and the right of way of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Ten days have been allowed for filing of briefs, but the commission announced it would not meet again for three weeks to pass on this and other de- ferred cases. ] The commisison denied its own proposal to eliminate first commer- clal use from both sides of Pennsyl- vania avenue between Minnesota ave- nue and Twenty-seventh street south- east, but it probably will approve its motion to raise the restrictions on numerous other parcels in the area, including that bounded by Thirty- fourth street southeast, extended, the right of way of the Baltimore & Dhio Railroad and the north line of lot 13 In square 5418. Action on the rest of the case was deferred, how- ever, to permit property owners to file arguments. Property Changed. Property on the east side of Eighteenth street northeast between Monroe and Newton streets was changed from first commercial to resi- dential 40-foot height B area, but the commission denied its own appli- cation to make the same change to property on the west side of this sec- tion of the street. Property on both sides of Eighteenth sireet northeast, between Brentwood road and Law- rence street, was changed from first commercial to residential 40-foot A area, instead of to A-restricted area, as the commission had proposed. In another case the commission |granted a change from residential A area to A-restricted for properties on the =ast side of Third street, between Oglethorpe and Quackenbos streets. Other Shifts Made. Properties on both sides of Carroll street between Cedar street and the District line were changed from re- stricted residential area to first com- mercial use. The commission changed from residential B-restricted area to first commercial properties on the south side of Rhode Island avenue northeast between Brentwood road and Montana avenue, and changed to residential 40-foot A area the squares bounded by Montana avenue, Down- ing and Fourteenth streets northeast. The commission denied & change from residential to first commercial for property on the east side of Twentieth street between G and H streets, but allowed a “variance” to permit use of the land for parking purposes. It denied a change from residential to second commercial elassification for property at 2402 N street, but allowed “variance” parking there, sl RAIL TRAVEL INCREASES to 246,097,504 Passengers Carried ‘Without Loss of Life.
