Agenda Item No. 1 - Approval of minutes of June 5, 1972 meeting.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Chairman Calliham and on
motion by Commissioner Wallace, seconded by Commissioner Miller, the minutes
of the June 5, 1972 meeting were unanimously approved.
Agenda Item No. 2 - P&Z Case No. 25-72 - Review of a preliminary plat of
Dobrovolny Subdivision.
City Planner George Eby explained the location of the tract of land and stated
that the city staff had reviewed the plat and found it to be technically in order and a
viable plan with the following exceptions. The Anderson Street extension south of
Holleman should be platted in its full width, not as a half-street as shown in the pre- 'd
liminary. I.E. : the plat should include the entire 70-foot right-of-way as opposed
to a partial right-of-way. Also, Mr. Eby pointed out that "Anderson Court", "Bee
Creek Court", and'Honk Court" are not suitable names since these names are very
similar to names used elsewhere in the city.
Mr. J. W. Wood informed the commission that this would be the first phase
of developing the property. Mr. Wood stated the reason they had stopped at this
point was that there was no possibility of negotiating with the adjacent property owners
to bear some of the expense of Anderson Street. Council Liaison Don Dale questioned
as to whether it had been considered for Holik Drive to go into Anderson? If so, there
will be a problem as the existing Holik Drive is a 36-foot street. Chairman Calliham
stated that going from a 36-foot street to a 28-foot street would not be good planning
for the city.
Mr. W. D. Fitch asked if Haines Street was planned to be continued into the
area. Mr. Wood stated that it was intended to be continued adjacent to the tract and
that it would be shown on a later plat of the adjacent area. Mr. Fitch then asserted
that he believed Haines Street would extend into this tract and not the later adjacent
tract. It was found that the answer would need to be resolved by a more detailed exam-
ination of the tract and that other maps would be required. Since the legal deadline for
approving or disapproving the plat was near,the commission, upon motion by Commissioner
wok
Longley, seconded by Commissioner Chaney, voted unanimously to reconvene the meeting
6 at 5:00 P.M. , Tuesday, July 11, 1972 to give further review to the case.

Agenda Item No. 3 - Hear a presentation of a plan for development of the Boriskie
tract by Mr. Bill Zac.
Mr. Bill Zac, owner of Zac Construction Company of Houston, presented his
"second plan" for development of the Boriskie tract. Mr. Zac stated that his com-
pany would like to think of this project as a "satellite community".
The plan called for over 1100 dwelling units consisting of single family dwelling
units, townhouses, condiminiums, and apartments. Also shown on the plan was a
hospital site, a professional clinic, a public school site, and several commercial
areas.
Mr. Zac explained that since the Southwest Parkway was planned to be on the
Krenek-Boriskie (Zac) property line, participation of both parties should be expected.
Mr. Zac stated that he had contacted the Krenek family and found that they were not
ready to participate financially in the construction of Southwest Parkway. Mr. Hugo
Krenek was present at the meeting and stated that his family was very much in favor
of seeing Southwest Parkway being constructed, but they were not in the developing
business and were not financially able to participate in this project. Consequently,
Mr. Zac's approach would be to reserve the right-of-way for Southwest Parkway and
develop the other interior streets.
A lengthy discussion of how the Southwest Parkway could be installed in the
future was held. Council Liaison Don Dale questioned if Mr. Zac would have incentive
to participate in the construction of Southwest Parkway in the future if he had already
411 constructed a thru-street to serve his development. It was discovered that there
would be many complications involved in delaying construction cf Southwest Parkway
and of installing a substitute street 400 to 500 feet north of the Krenek-Boriskie
property line.
Agenda Item No. 4 - Review Preliminary Scope of Services for 701 Planning Grant.
The City Planner reviewed a narrative of a Preliminary Scope of Services for
a 701 Planning Grant. The narrative is enclosed as a part of these minutes.
Agenda Item No. 5 - Initiate a formal review of land use plan.
The first review of a proposed land use plan for College Station was held. The
commissioners agreed to review their copies of the land use plan at home and to re-
turn their plans to the city planner for compilation and further study by the commission
at the next meeting.
Agenda Item No. 6 - Other Business.
The commission heard a request for a public hearing by Mr. Larry Landry for
commercial zoning of Lot 1 and 5 feet of Lot 2 of Block B of the College Heights Addi-
tion. The commission acknowledged that the request appeared to be for spot-commercial
zoning, but also acknowledged that this area will more than likely be zoned commercial
in the future as the area across University Drive is now commercially zoned. On motion
by Commissioner Wallace, seconded by Commissioner Cooley, the commission unanimously
110 voted to place Mr. Landry's request on the agenda for a public hearing.
