The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Room of
the City of College Station, Texas.
There was one correction noted in the Minutes of the June 16 meeting.
• Commissioner Baur asked that his name be deleted from those members present, since
he did not attend the meeting. The secretary was directed to make this correction.
Otherwise, the Minutes were approved as written.
Mr. Ed Miller, a citizen in the audience, asked that the Minutes of the last
meeting be read. He stated that he felt someone was in error -- either the Minutes
were incorrect or the Bryan Eagle. The newspaper had carried headlines regarding
the last Planning & Zoning Meeting on June 16 which pertained to discussion of the
proposed extension of Welsh Street. He stated that there was nothing in the Minutes
relative to Welsh Street. There was considerable discussion regarding the newspaper
item with respect to the Minutes.
The Chairman called the meeting back to order and stated that the Commission
had business to transact. The first item of new business on the Agenda was the
consideration of a preliminary subdivision plat of Briar Rose Addition on the east
side of Munson, north of Francis. After considerable discussion, Commissioner
Gardner moved that the plat be approved subject to obtaining additional R. O. W. of
5 five for Munson and the necessary drainage easements to the east. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Horne. Motion carried. Commissioner O'Brien abstained
from voting since the plat in question was submitted by him.

The Commission then considered a preliminary subdivision plat of the Glade
East, located on the South side of Holleman, approximately 150 feet east of Glade.
Mr. Buford Craig, developer of the property in question, came before the Commission
and answered questions concerning the plat. There was some opposition from citizens
in the audience. They were opposed to more apartments or duplexes being built in the
area because they felt it would be a higher density area and would cause more flooding
in Bee Creek, which is creating a flooding problem when it rains for some of the
property owners in that area at present. Several citizens urged the commission not
to act upon this plat until the Council had taken action regarding a drainage plan for
Bee Creek, which they had promised to do.
Commissioner O'Brien moved that the plat be recommended for approval.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
After considerable discussion, Commissioner Horne moved that the Commission
defer action on the Glade East preliminary plat until the next Planning and Zoning
meeting. Commissioner Gardner seconded the motion. Motion carried. Commissioner
O'Brien asked to be recorded as voting no.
• The next item of business was the subdivision regulations. Several members
of the Commission stated that they were not technically qualified to participate in
the rewriting of this ordinance and requested that a small sub-committee be appointed
to complete the review of the proposed revision of this ordinance. After further
discussion, the Chairman agreed to appoint a sub-committee to complete the
Subdivision Regulations, and another sub-committee to work on the Zoning Ordinance,
so that both could be in progress at the same time, with better coordination.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
