• College Station, Texas
May 19, 1967
Memorandum to: Edward E. Burns
Chairman, Planning and Zoning Commission
From: The Mayor
Subject: Plat and Zoning, Geer Construction Company
1 . Ed, as you and other committee members probably know, the
forementioned company was "burned" on plans to put an 41 .8 mil-
lion apartment complex on the airport highway.
2. The choice has been shifted to an area south of State Highway
#30 with a very good potential for a 4;4 million investment. Sub-
ject 'to utilities and zoning they are about ready to invest 61 .8
million on the apartment complex. However, in view of treatment
• they received, and money lost, they are a little "gun-shy" until
utilities and zoning matters are cleared.
3. This resulted in a letter to the Council for an official
reply. The Council cleared up the utility matter and advised
them to get the plat to your group with recommendations on re-
zoning.
4. I am hopeful that, upon receipt of the plat, your group
could expedite this matter as best you could.
5. Of interest to me as mayor is the $4 million tax base that
would put 1'60,000 a year into the city coffers, plus other income
from sale of utilities. Growing as we are, and in recognition of
our needs, this investment in our community would be a shot in
the arm, so to speak.
6. Your cooperation as a group will be appreciated.
D. A. Anderson, Mayor
