The AppleTree organization may need zoning relief to open its planned Northeast preschool as it no longer conforms to city codes, according to the head of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.
Linda Argo, acting director of the regulatory department, said the agency can only issue building permits for plans that comply with regulations in place the day of issuance, not the day applications are filed. And, as of Sept. 14, public schools — including charters — are subject to stricter regulations in residentially zoned neighborhoods.
This was welcome news at the Northeast Capitol Hill advisory neighborhood commission’s (ANC 6A) Sept. 13 meeting, where Argo answered a series of zoning questions. The commission has been battling the AppleTree Institute for Education Innovation since winter 2006, when it applied for permits to expand its building at 138 12th St., NE.

Football: Gonzaga 20, Georgetown Prep 12
BY KEVIN HILGERS
Three Saturdays ago, Terry Kernan and the Gonzaga football team were blown out in their opener. The next Saturday they didn't even play because their opponent canceled. But this past Saturday, Kernan and the Eagles finally had a good weekend.
The senior quarterback threw two touchdowns and 224 yards — 194 of them to senior Rodney Gould — in his second varsity start, a 20-12 victory over Georgetown Prep at Buchanan Field.
Kernan, who was 9 for 14 passing, and Gould, who had seven catches, hooked up for several pass plays that proved devastating for the Little Hoyas (0-2) as the Eagles (1-1) captured the Coupe-Kozig Cup for the second year in a row in the Jesuit rivalry.
The Eagles' first win was much different from their first game, a 51-14 home loss to Loyola Blakefield that was followed by a cancellation from Mount Zion of Durham, N.C.
"We had that bye week, so we had that extra time to prepare," Kernan said. "I think we came out with a lot of aggression because we didn't play that one game."

VOICE writes, "ANC 6D balks Corcoran changes
BY BEN WEINSTEIN
The Southwest advisory neighborhood commission Sept. 10 unanimously opposed the Corcoran Gallery's latest plans for the Randall School property — though commissioners hadn't yet seen those plans.
Representatives from Monument Realty — the school's partner in the campus and residential project — told commissioners they requested a later zoning hearing date in order to reconfigure the buildings. New plans had not been drawn up, but commissioners decided to oppose the project and ask that the Zoning Commission further delay its hearing.
Monument Realty will set back its residential buildings farther than previously planned from the historic Randall School structures at 65 I St., SW, according to project representatives. "

VOICE writes, "No surplus boon for Ward 6
BY AMY DOOLITTLE
City officials said they've pulled in $100 million more in tax revenue than expected this year — and Mayor Adrian Fenty is set to disperse the dollars across Ward 6 and the city.
The mayor plans to split the funds between road and infrastructure projects, continued school modernization, youth job and ex-offender programs — all things Ward 6 could use more of, said Charles Allen, a spokesman for Councilman Tommy Wells."
