Shop center hackles rise in Hockessin TRI-STATE MIDWAY OPEII T0NITE! an issue involving "millions of dollars of potential damage." THE commercial strip along the Kirkwood Highway was the county's doing, not Mrs. Lovell's, Hessler said, and if the county took away her commercial zoning now, that would constitute a "taking without compensation" which he said he would fight "through all the courts of this state." Such rezoning requests are not just a threat to Mrs. Lovell, but to the entire economic community whose interests in development could be jeopardized, he said. Swift replied that Hessler's client may have a legal right to the commercial zoning, but that she didn't have "a moral right." In response to a remark by Hessler that they both were getting paid for what they were doing, Swift said that as a county councilman he was earning only about 88 cents an hour, "and with my 88 cents per hour, I think I'll sleep better than he will."

THE Roselle hearing involved a 15-acre parcel of land on Kirkwood Highway east of North Clifton Avenue, near the Veteran's Administration Hospital. The land has had commercial zoning since 1955, but the owners, Mrs. Mary Lovell and Developers Diversified, are only now proposing to build an S.S.

Swift told the planning board he was asking to have (he land rezoncd to single-family residential because "the only ones to gain by this development would be the owners, the developers and the legal profession." "He and Mrs. Ann Cocco, the president of the Brack-Ex Civic Association, said there was already excessive commercial development on the Kirkwood Highway and in the surrounding area, that the neighborhood has a sanitary and drainage system, and that traffic on the Kirkwood Highway is already so bad pedestrians cannot cross it. Hessler then told the board that while it had the right to change the zoning on the land, it was dealing with 64 The Morning Newt Wednesday, March 14, 1973 Md.

police hold pair after chase at 100 mph PRICE, Md. A Brodbecks, man was cited on three traffic charges yesterday growing out of a high-speed chase Monday night on U.S. 301. Arrested too when the car was finally halted in Cecil County near the Delaware state line was Miss Phyllis Jean Goss, 33, of Petersburg, the owner of the car. State police said the chase originated near Maryland 304, six miles south of here, when a troop car observed the northbound car moving at what was described as excessive speed.

Before the chase ended about 7 p.m., a half hour after it started, one of four police cars engaged in the pursuit was almost forced off the road by the car operated by Jack E. Lease, 37. As troopers approached the halted car, Lease and the woman locked themselves in and police had to force the door open. Police said at times speeds exceeded 100 mph. Lease was charged with speeding, reckless driving and attempting to elude arrest.

Miss Goss was charged with permitting the car to be operated in a reckless manner. The couple was committed to the Queen Anne's County jail pending a hearing today. Lease was unable to post $1,500 bail and Miss Goss was being detained in $100 bail. ance to offset its commercial nature. According to preliminary sketches, the stores would be built with gabled roofs, and the two biggest facilities, a supermarket and a drug store, would be called a food shoppe" and an "apo-store is labeled a "booterie." David S.

Krewson Acier-no's chief planner, gave the board a detailed presentation of the shopping center plans, including an outline, slides of property, drawings of the shopping center, and letters from various experts on the soil characteristics of the lot. KREWSON'S thoroughness was due in part to the fact that Acierno is suing the county and the planning department over their refusal to approve his last proposal for a shopping center at the intersection of Delaware 273 and Interstate 95. Despite his efforts, five residents, including the representatives of three area civic associations, came forward to oppose the center. Representatives of the Greater Hockessin Area Development Association, the Hockessin Community Club and the North Mill Creek Civic Association argued that the shopping center is not needed, is not in conformance with the county's comprehensive plan, and would dangerously increase the traffic on Lancaster Pike and Yorklyn Road. They also took issue with Krewson's statements that the lot is not involved in holding surface runoff water from Yorklyn Road and higher ground to the west.

They argued that paving the lot may cause flooding problems downstream on Mill Creek. Afterwards, Hessler reminded the board that his client had presented expensive ex- A DASH Or COLOR!

U3 CLASSIC STYLED HANDBAGS By Terry Zintl The New Castle County Planning Board acted as referee yesterday while attorney Bernard Hessler a host of angry civic association representatives and a county councilman battled over shop-ping centers proposed in Hockessin and Roselle. The county's planning department and planning board musat decide whether to recommend to the county council rezoning land along Yorklyn Road in Hockessin for a five-acre shopping center proposed by Frank E. Acierno and Harry Simeone.

In the Roselle matter, they must recommend on a proposal by County Councilman Francis J. Swift, D-4th District, to rezone a piece of commercial property on the Kirkwood Highway back to residential so the owners cannot use it as the site of a discount department store. HESSLER, an nttorncy who specializes in planning and zoning matters, represented the developers in each instance. For nearly two hours, he argued for his clients, debated with local residents who want nothing to do with the shop-p i centers, and even endured speculation by Swift on how well he sleeps at night. The Acierno shopping center would be located south of Yorklyn Road, next to the Del-marva Power Light Co.

transmitting station just off the Lancaster Pike. In an attempt to make it less offensive to the local residents, the stores would not be placed in a strip facing the road, but would be built into a mall running towards the back of the property. To be called "Shoppes of Hockessin" the center would be given a "colonial'' appear 1 4 Larry E. Adcock OtoSiowJ 1 r0 mm i SLIGHT IRREGULARS!
