Coming up for second readinl!; and final pa~sap;e at :\Ionday's city council meeting on f'rptemher !l is a gm1 control

Council Sends Master Plan
Recommendations to co·unty
by AI Skolnlk
The city council last .week completed its recommendations
on the revised Area 13 Mast€r Plan for the CQllege-ParkGreenbelt area aft€r reviewing additional suggest.ion8 re- ·
ceived from the city's Advisory PJ.a.nning Board. The council
and the APB find themselves almost in complete agreement
as the recol:llmendations now go forward to the county commissioners.
·
The council followed the suggestion of the APB to recommend relocation of the rapid transit <METRO> station from Greenbelt Road
to the Beltway. The relocation of
the METRO station would require
the addition ot an Interchange with
the Beltway.
The APB cited the following advantages of such an Interchange:
1) relieve the Greenbelt Road-KenIlworth Ave. Intersection of an additional trafllc burden created by
the station;
2) would provide access to Springhill Lake and to tbe presently undeveloped industrial property;
3) the perimeter road could be tied
into the interchange, thereby negating the need of a Beltway overpass at expense to the city; and
4l would provide ready access for
buses that are envisioned as part
of the overall circumferential
transit system that would mesh
with the radial METRO system.
The council recommended that
all the apartment tracts located
around the commercial center be
zoned at R-30 (medium density
apartments, 14 units per acre l,
Including the property owned by
Greenbelt Development Corporation, a subsidiary of Greenbelt
Homes, Inc. Some of the properties are now developed at a greater
density than R-30, but the council
and APB wanted assurances that
any redevelopment on these properties would not be at a greater
density than R-30. The properties
are now zoned R-P-C (rural planned community).
The council also recommended

. that the portion of Crescent between Southway and Westway
should not be designated an arteJ'o

proposed perimeter road be dropped from the roadway system
when the perimeter road Is completed.
The council discussed the APB
proposal for designating the finger
of land north of Greenbelt Rood
lying between Kenilworth and Edmonston Road u school land. This
was not considered feasible an!l the
C-0 (rommercial office dcJignation) on the Area 13 plan was left
unchanged.
Finally, the council rrc<>lumPnded that there bf' a full interseetion c:: Kenilworth Avr. nort't of

would also permit egress and ingreas to the Golden Triar ;(t' property.

T!'nt\is
Propo~t'd
by Sid. Kaetaer
The proposed city ordinance on firearms control w~ op.
posed by a majority of those present at a crowded, relatively
orderly hearing before city council, Monday night. After Coun·
cilmen Gerald Gough and Bill Hoff failed in efforts to keep
consideration of the ordinance alive by tabling it, the council voted the ordinance down by a vot~ of 4 t~ 1, Gough casting the lone vot~ in favor. Gough said that he voted for the
bill, despite- its deficiencies, because he favored in prin·
ciple some type of gun control legislation that would reduce
the misuse of firearms.
Other councilmen sympathized
with the latter goal, but expressed
doubt. that this measure would
provide tbt! reu:tedy. Councilman
Francis White ·said that what was
needed is control over the sale of
guns. Mayor Edgar Smith said
that etrectlve control cannot be ac·
complisbed thlrough one local jurisdiction and that when the ordinance was originally proposed It
was II8IIUJDed that other jurisdictions would pass similar measures.
The appi'Oxlmately twenty-five
speakel'll for the opposition Identified thmnselves. generally as gun
club membel'll and hunters, while
about eight supporters of the ordinance urged some form of control. Al'gUJ!lents raised by the opposition were that a need for the
law had not been shown; It would
penalize the · law-abiding citizen.
as contrasted to, the true criminal;
the ordinance Itself was poorly
drawn up, or Infringed on a legislative area already pre-empted by
the state; uie chief of pollee wouid
be given arbitrary powers over
private property; and that preaent
criminal laws wen sufficient If
fully appUed. Speakers for the
ordinance cited the eurvey reported
by . Senator Joseph Tydings wbleb
showed tbe U. 8. greatly ahead of
other COUDt.rlee In · the death rate
due to ftreanns. They referred to

took ~ wfth feara expre.ro by
the oppoidtlon that guns would be
taken aWIQ' ~er.
~
Among the more detailed statemenu were those by Freeman Morgan, secretary of the Greenbelt
Gun Club, and Robert Noble, of the
12th Precinct Rille Club. The former's point. were that the ordinance would be of no value in identifying the potential criminal, that
it was unfair to shooters, collectors
and tftxpayen, and that It was redundant since state legislation was
pending In this area. He mentioned
in ·pasling that a practice range
had, until recently, been available
in Greenbelt for training people
in the use of ftrearms, even the
Maryland branch of the Minutemen.
Noble listed what he felt were
weakneiiSCII in the ordinance as
drawn up; It would compel a criminal to Incriminate himself; no appeal from forfeiture was provided
for; there Wll8 no valid reason for
listing one's profession; certain
foreign guns could not be easily
registered. He stated that an exIsting Federal firearms law provides for a fine of $2000 and/or a
five year jail term for a convicted
criminal using firearms, though it
is not commonly enforced.
One spectator asked "Would the
council point out what It's trying
to prot«t!" Councilman Gough
replied that the need for t\rearm
!eglslatlon was quite aj)parent; he
noted that the Sullivan law of New
York City, a fairly strict gun control Jaw, responsible for New
York's low IUD death rate and added that "we are not going to take
your guns away from you • that's
a bugaboo thrown up." He then
asked the audience "Would you
favor any gun controls?" Only
"NO" was heard from a few.

supported ~gun control legislation
as being necessary "to foster the

legislation is not only consistent
with the "right to bear arms" provision of the. Second Amendment
