Nagle Street, amounting to $3, 000. 00. He also reported that channel lining of the
Inlow Blvd. drainage ditch would cost $13, 000. 00. One -half of the total cost would
be borne by the City of Bryan, the other half by the City of College Station. The

basis with the City of Bryan for placing a culvert under Nagle Street. Action on

The City Engineer's recommendations of an 80' right -of -way for the County Road ex-
tension from the Glade to Highway 6 S. was discussed and approved by the council.
The estimate of cost for over - laying one -half inch hot mix asphaltic concrete on Walton

discussion on the cost, the city manager was asked to check into the possibility of using

City Manager Boswell advised the council that he had talked with property owners
concerning securing land for the extension of Park Place Street. Mr. Kapchinskie
offered the city 202 feet of land, free of charge, if the city would not charge him for
curbing and guttering and paving of the street. Mr. Surovik offered the city land for
$200. 00, if the city would pay for the paving of the street, including the necessary
curbing and guttering. The council gave the city manager authorization to go ahead with
these propositions in securing land for the extension of Park Place Street. However,
the contract consumated should specify that the paving the city would do is in lieu of
payment for the land provided. The city manager was also requested to check with
A &M Consolidated School to ascertain if perhaps we might use a small portion of school
property to avoid purchase of land from Otto Jeske.
City Attorney Dillon discussed with the council the problems involved in the collection
of money due from J. C. Culpepper. Dillon advised the council Culpepper was willing
to settle the matter for $1, 500. 00. The council requested the attorney to proceed with
the collection of $1, 500. 00 representing a settlement on the total claim.
A discussion arose relative to the cost of a connection to the sewer line established by
Culpepper and the city in a 76 acre tract which Culpepper developed. Two developers
were not charged when they developed tracts near this development thereafter, and
which, under terms originally arrived at, was to be done in view of the investment on the
part of the city. Charges were to be at the rate of $113. 00 an acre. After a thorough
discussion the council decided to forego charges against those already connected to the
sewer since they were unaware of such, and were not so informed when they applied for
a building permit. However, all subsequent developers are to be charged so that the city
might recoup its investment.

in an attempt to prove to the Council that the City was not justified in making the assess-
ment as proposed based on land values. His main contention was that the assessment
did not enhance the value of the land. He pointed out two areas where he thought
inequities existed, namely near the home of Frank Matous and a triangular piece of
land on Dobrovolny property.
Councilman Holt said an adjustment was due on the area near the home of Frank
Matous and also on the triangle piece of land which the City owns and is charging the
Dobrovolny's for the assessment. In this all Councilmen were in agreement.
At the request of the Mayor and motion by Councilman Rhodes, seconded by
Councilman Holleman, the public hearing was declared held open until the next Council

people concerned, but that they were not signed. He stated that, in his opinion, if some

City Manager was authorized to write the owners of this property along the proposed
road in the industrial area urging them to sign quit claim deeds toward the West By -Pass
where the county has purchased said land.
City Attorney Dillon related that the longevity and service pay (P. C. Title 18,

acre tract or parcel of land lying and being situated in the J. E. Scott League from
District No. 1, First Dwelling House District to District No. 3, Apartment House District.
Dr. M. R. Callihan presented a petition to the council signed by thirteen (13 ) property
owners in the area protesting this rezoning and served as spokesman in presenting
their grievance. They were opposed to the rezoning for multi - family dwelling units
in the area because of trash and garbage containers, parking lots, etc. being adjacent
to their homes, in an area they assumed to be residential. A letter addressed to the
City Council from Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wall, Jr. also protested the rezoning.
Mr. Kennedy Upham protested the rezoning because of the fact that it would create
traffic problems in the area. Richard Puckett, Paul Fryxell, Tom Rowell, Mrs. Kennedy
Upham, James Berry, Stuart Lyda and Frieda Fryxell all spoke against this rezoning
for similar reasons stated above. The Mayor then closed the public hearing.
Mayor Anderson expressed his personal feeling in this matter stating that he
felt a "buffer zone" would be effective in this area. After considerable discussion
among the City Councilmen, Mr. Bading and some members of the audience, Councilman

artists, to work as a committee for designing a new city symbol for review and action
by the Council. The Mayor presented the drawings of the symbols designed by these

The motion was made by Councilman Dozier, and seconded by Councilman Rhodes
that the Minutes of February 24, 1969 meeting be approved. Motion carried.
Mayor Anderson called a public hearing on the question of the annexation of
territory within the confines of the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. The mayor asked
if any person in the audience would like to speak for or against the proposed annexation.
Mr. Edsel Jones expressed his concern over the proposed annexation because he felt
the property in the area would not be developed fully for another 5 to 10 years. He was
concerned with the taxes the property owners would have to pay for this vacant land.
Mayor Anderson stated that it would be to the city's advantage to bring the land into
the city because the general area was being considered as a location for a future
school, which would lead to development in the area. It was also brought out that the
city could exercise better control over developments within the city. Mr. C. Wayne
Keese, a property owner on Miller's Lane, asked whether the city would provide
adequate water and sewerage facilities for the territory under consideration for
annexation. The mayor told Mr. Keese that at this time, the city had under consideration,
the extension of a main water line down State Highway No. 6, from the elevated storage
tank south to Miller Lane.
Upon closing the public hearing, the mayor asked the council to consider
withholding passage of Ordinance 613, bringing the area into the city, for a period
of a month, so that consideration might be given by the Planning and Zoning Commission
to zoning use within the area. After discussion among the council members, Councilman
Holt moved that Ordinance No. 613, an ordinance receiving certain territory adjoining

had submitted. The city manager was also authorized to consult a lighting expert as to
what type of layout could be provided at more reasonable prices than those proposed by

The mayor presented to the council a copy of a letter that was received from
Mr. Marvin Hagemeier, with the Economic Development Administration, informing the
city that the pre - application conference for sewer improvements had been approved.
The mayor stated that the next step would be to file our formal application which would
express our needs in this area. Councilman Holt moved that the city manager be
authorized to complete the application, with the amendment in it to include the 18' water
line down Highway 6 and such sewage lines to the mains as Codie Wells feels would be
appropriate, not to exceed one mile. Motion was seconded by Councilman Dozier.
Motion carried.
Mayor Anderson read a petition from property owners in College Station which
was directed to the Parks and Recreation Committee which respectfully requested the
city to purchase the land adjacent to and extended from the ease side of Bee Creek,
where it runs under Glade Street to where it crosses the Southwest Parkway for a
distance of at least 200 feet, and maintain such as a city park for the following reasons:
1. The area is rapidly developing and has no park facilities within 20 blocks.
2. The area is naturally wooded, picturesque and attracts a wide variety of
migratory songbirds.
3. The adjoining area to the east is zoned for apartments and this would provide
a buffer zone.
4. The land is presently undeveloped and should be more economical to purchase.

of the petition to the Parks Committee for detailed study and recommendations by them.
Such was approved by the council.

with respect to three areas in College Station which needed improvements. Copies of the
recommendations dated February 20, were presented to council members.
Mr. Logan Wilson of Lone Star Gas Company made a report to the council regarding
natural gas in the Spring Green area. This was one recommendation of the Negro Committee.
He stated that he had contacted his regional office and had made a request to lay additional
pipe in this area so that all residents could be served. He felt necessary approval would
be forthcoming shortly. Mr. Wilson stated that the council would be notified as soon as
approval was received to install the gas line in the Spring Green area.
City Manager Boswell stated that action would be taken on hard topping the area
in Spring Green Street as soon as possible.
With regard to the drainage on Bank Street, Church Hill Street, Lincoln, Pasler,
Preston and Gilbert Streets, the city manager reported that the city would work on these
areas as soon as possible.
A� to the sewage problem in the community south of Washington Chapel Church,
the city will redeem its responsibility only as existing policy permits.
City Attorney Dillon stated he would write a letter to the property owners,
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Gibbs, with regard to the opening of Church Hill Street. He
stated that he would inform them that if they and the city could not come to terms
with respect to the necessary right -of -way, the city would probably initiate condemnation
proceedings.
The mayor stated that a plan for a park in College Hill around the ground storage
water tank was under consideration by the Parks and Recreation Committee.
Councilman Ransdell recommended the council defer action in the St. Matthew
area until the council could study the area in more detail as to the problems in that
particular area.

March 24, 1969
The mayor read a request from Community House Kindergarten requesting free
utility service. Tom Giesenschlag reported to the council that there was nothing in
the City Charter to prevent the city from providing same, but if free service were
provided to this particular group in question, another group might be able to sue the
city for the amounts they paid for utilities during the time the group in question had
been provided free utility service. The Council concurred with Mr. Giesenschlag's
legal opinion and agreed that it could not honor the request made.
Tom Giesenschlag reported that the appraisals for University Drive Extension are
being updated by Jim Smith and are expected to be in his office this week. Mr. Giesenschlag
stated that he felt it would be best for the city not to incur the expenses of another appraiser
before the commissioners hearings. He also reported that title work has begun on the
project, but that overall, the condemnation proceedings were going to take some time.
On motion by Councilman Holt, seconded by Councilman Dozier, the city manager
was authorized to negotiate for the R. 0. W. on Tarrow Street to Lincoln, being an extension
of so- called 29th Street. Motion carried.
The City Manager reported that the Parks Superintendent (Mr. Arthur Dunn) had
been employed and would report to work April 1. His primary duties will be to handle
the Lincoln Center Recreational facilities.
The City Manager reported that he and the city attorney met with the City Manager
of Bryan on March 14 in regard to the 20" line and other engineering work. City Attorney
Dillon stated that Mr. Stacy, City Attorney for Bryan, was to work up the legal agreements
on this.
Mr. David Chester submitted a petition to the Council regarding the recommendation
of the Planning and Zoning Commission to deny the petition for rezoning 2.6 acres of
land on the south of Holleman Drive and beginning approximately 350' east of Glade Street
and facing 263' on Holleman Drive from District No. 3, Apartment House District to
District 4 -A, Neighborhood Business District. However, Mr. Chester stated that he
was in error in submitting the petition since the Planning and Zoning Commission had
denied the rezoning request.
