Agenda Item No. 2 -- Hear visitors. Mr. J. W. Wood of the Anderson-Ridge
Corporation, proposed a dedication of 2.05 acres of parkland to add to the
existing 1.11 acre site on the Dobrovolny Addition, Section 1.
Mr. Jerry Bishop showed the location of the land and said that the land was not
overflow land.
Mr. Wood stated that the plan would satisfy the parkland dedication requirements
for the Anderson-Ridge Subdivisions approved to date in addition to a five
410 acre section of the Anderson Ridge development which would be platted in
the future.
Commissioner Boyett asked if sufficient notice had been given to city departments
of the proposed dedication and if any problems existed concerning the adequacy
of the park site. He asked if the Parks Committee had an opportunity to review
the proposal. Mr. Ford and Mr. Koehler stated that the parkland was satsifactory
in their opinion and that the proposal had not gone before the Parks Committee.
Mr. Wood stated that the Mar-Cal Construction Company had begun clean-up work
on the Anderson-Ridge Section 2 construction site and that the Corporation
intended to correct the parking lot run-off problem in Scandia Apartments,
Phase II by adding necessary curbing along the property line.
Commissioner Chaney asked the status of the petition to have Park Place from
Anderson Street to the west line of the Kapchinskie Addition. He asked if the
Wolf Pen Village had paid the paving assessment on Anderson Street. Mr. Wood
stated that the Wolf Pen Village Corporation is liable for the paving assessment
and would pay the assessment when the invoice was presented.
Commissioner Boyett asked whether the Wolf Pen Village Corporation was assuming
the A&M Consolidated School District share of the assessment. Mr. Wood said that
it was.
Commissioner Chaney moved that the parkland dedication be accepted. Commissioner
Calliham seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved.
Agenda Item No. 3 -- A public hearing on the question of rezoning a 0.643 acre

Commissioner Chaney pointed out that the Development Controls Review
Committee had discussed the possibility of utilizing the conditional use permit
procedure to allow such mixed land uses without rezoning. Commissioner
1110 Calliham pointed out that if the land were rezoned to General Commercial,
any listed general commercial use could be conducted in that site in the future.
Chairman Longley opened the public hearing. No one spoke. The public hearing
was closed.
Commissioner Chaney moved that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the
zone change, but recommend favorable consideration of a conditional use permit
provided that a conditional use permit is applied for and provided that any
building constructed therein would meet the requirements for commercial use
and that adequate parking be planned for that use. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Boyett and unanimously approved.
Agenda Item No. 4 -- A public hearing on the question of rezoning three tracts
of land along Southwest Parkway northeast of FM 2154; an 18 acre tract from
Single Family Residential District, District R-1C to General Commercial District,
District C-1; a 25 acre tract from Single Family Residential District, District
R-1C to Agricultural-Open District, District A-0; and a 23 acre tract from
Single Family Residential District, District R-1C to Apartment Building District,
District R-3. Mr. Koehler showed the location and the present zoning of
adjacent tracts.
Mr. Paul Wahlberg showed the proposed zoning of the tracts with relation to
existing zoning and the proposed land use plan from the proposed Comprehensive
Development Plan. Mr. Ford suggested that the boundaries of the general
110 commercial tract be described by metes and bounds so as to produce definable
lines. Mr. Wahlberg stated that the group did not have immediate definite
plans for the exact use of the general commercial area. Chairman Longley
opened the public hearing. No one spoke. The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Boyett moved that the Commission make the following recommendation
to the council:
1. To approve the zone change to apartment building district as requested.
2. To approve the general commercial district generally as requested with the
rear boundary straightened and described such that the tract would not exceed
21.0 acres.
3. To rezone the remaining land agricultural-open.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Miller and unanimously approved.
Agenda Item No. 5 -- A public hearing on the question of rezoning a 3.00 acre
tract located northeast of the abandoned I & GN RR right-of-way between FM 2347
and Luther Street west from Heavy Industrial District, District M-2 to
Apartment Building District, District R-3. Mr. James Jett and Mr. Earl Lynch
explained that the rezoning was requested for a proposed 56 unit apartment
project in conjunction with the 0.834 acre tract next on the agenda.
The question of access to the two tracts was discussed. Commissioner Boyett
1111 pointed out that neither of the tracts presently had access to any public
right-of-way.

Mr. Jett stated that all of the owners of the property in the area were in
agreement to provide access to this particular tract.

Chairman Longley opened the public hearing.
Mr. David Mayo, owner of the adjacent property on which Brazos Concrete
Services plant is located, expressed his concern that the proposed adjacent
land use would not be compatible with the existing Heavy Industrial use on
his property. He pointed out the possibility of future complaints by the
tenants of this proposed project concerning noise and dust.
Commissioners Chaney and Boyett pointed out that some industrial zoning
was necessary within the city and that the Mayo tract was already in use for
heavy industrial purposes and that the owners of the plant had substantial
investment in the property.
Commissioner Wallace pointed out that future tenants should be aware of the
fact of the existing adjacent use and should have no grounds for complaints.
Mr. Jett stated that he and his architect had considered the adjacent use and
had concluded that the site could be developed in such a fashion as to shield
against noise and dust.
Commissioner Stevenson moved that the Commission recommend approval of the zone
change to the City Council. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wallace
and approved unanimously with Commissioner Boyett abstaining for the reason
that no access had been provided to public right-of-way.

tract located northeast of the abandoned I & GN RR right-of-way between FM
2347 and Luther Street west from Heavy Industrial District, District M-2 to
Apartment Building District, District R-3. Chairman Longley opened the public
hearing.
Mr. Jett pointed out that the considerations for this request were the same
as for the previous request in that the tracts were to be developed
jointly.
The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Wallace moved that the Commission recommend approval of the request.
Commissioner Miller seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved with
Commissioner Boyett abstaining for the reason that no access to public
right-of-way had been provided.
Agenda Item No. 7 -- A public hearing on the question of rezoning a part of
Lot 8, Lakeview Acres located northeast of Texas Avenue and southeast of Miller's
Lane from Single Family Residential District, District R-1C to General Commercial

Mr. Josef Budig, owner of the adjacent property, stated that he would like
to see his property rezoned to permit light industry such as a machine
111111 shop or tooling shop.
Commissioner Chaney recalled the Commission's action on the Isadore Krenek
request at a previous meeting and stated that he would like to see all of the
owners in the area come in together and request the changes that would be
necessary. He suggested that the Budig tract could be rezoned Commercial
Industrial District, District C-2 in conjunction with adjacent General
Commercial zoning. The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Boyett moved that the Commission recommend denial of the request
for the same reasons expressed in the denial of the Isadore Krenek request and
urgently recommend that all parties in the area who desire a zone change to
General Commercial, join in a petition for the entire area. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Chaney and approved by the following vote:
FOR: Miller, Wallace, Calliham, Boyett, Chaney
AGAINST: Stevenson
