He stated that the C-3 zoning district is not a substantial change
in zoning intensity. The existing district was designed to pro-
vide convenience of service goods in residential areas. The C-3
zoning district was intended to provide commercial sites that were
suitable for the C-1 zone, but were not suitable for some of the
C-1 uses with respect to the size of the properties. The Planning
and Zoning Commission has recommended approval of this request.
He pointed out that two letters of opposition have been received
which are included in the packet.
Councilman Gardner pointed out that the Planning and Zoning
Commission discussed changing the goals and objectives by adding
the protection of apartment areas. Mr. Callaway concurred.
Mayor Ringer opened the public hearing.
Mr. Larry Wells of 2905 Pierre, representing the applicant
Municipal Development Group and the owner, Texas Commerce Bank
came forward to explain that the applicant had originally made
this request due to a contract pending with a convenience store.
He stated that one problem which exists is the size of the con-
venience store which is 3100 square feet, C-N zone only allows for
2500 square feet.
Councilman Birdwell asked Mr. Wells if the owner would be more
comfortable if the zoning ordinance was change to state that the
square footage be limited to 3200 sq. ft. rather than 2500 sq.
ft. He added that the ordinance allows the zoning district to
have a 10,000 sq. ft. structure, but only allows 2500 sq. ft.
for each store.
Mr. Charles Laningham, owner of the adjacent apartment complex,
Sausalito Apartments, came forward to speak in opposition of the
zoning change. He stated that the owners were not made aware of
the zoning change until two weeks ago. He noted his objections to
lowering the classification to C-3 zoning as follows: 1) a zoning
change is permanent, the proposed user could fail and an incom-
patible future user may accommodate the property; 2) the staff
could possibly evaluate the zoning of the entire Harvey Road
Corridor to determine if C-N classification is appropriate for
future development as opposed to piecemeal evaluation.

Mr. Wells emphasized that the owner is concerned about the
protection of the property value.
Mayor Ringer closed the public hearing.
Agenda Item No. 4 - Consideration of an ordinance rezonin~ Lot 1,
Timber Ridge Third Installment, from C-N to C-3.
Councilman Brown pointed out that he could not support a zone
change, but he could support raising the square footage to 3200
feet.
Mr. Callaway clarified that a 10,000 sq. ft. building can be built
in a C-N zoning district, but there are limitations on the indi-
viduals users within the building. Sign regulations in a C-N
zoning district does not allow freestanding or detached signs, C-3
zoning district does allow this feature.
Councilman Birdwell moved to direct the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission and staff to look at modifying the ordinance affecting C-N
zone and consider revision of size limitations on the square
footage for individual tenants.
Councilman Brown seconded the motion.
Councilman Gardner expressed his concern in changing the ordinance
to accommodate one use. He pointed out that the ordinance should
continue to be in conformance with the land use plan. Councilman
Haddox remarked that he is in favor of the motion because the
square footage which was originally set may not be adequate for
the type of development built today. He added that he would like
to see an increase in the square footage if the Planning and
Zoning Commission agrees. Councilman Schneider asked if studies
have been made to support a higher square footage. Mr. Callaway
replied that he cannot specifically state how the square footage
was determined.
The motion to direct Planning and Zoning Commission to study the
ordinance passed by a vote of 6-1, Councilman Gardner voting
against.
Councilman McIlhaney moved to deny the ordinance rezoning Lot 1,
Timber Ridge Third Installment from C-N to C-3.
Councilman Schneider seconded the motion which carried unanimous-
ly, 7-0.

Agenda Item No. 5 - A public hearinq on the question of an appeal
of the Planning and Zoning Commission denial of a conditional use
permit for parking lot expansion at the Alders~ate Methodist
Church located at 6501 E. Bypass.
Zoning Official Kee introduced this item. She noted that the
Aldersgate Methodist Church built a temporary parking lot adjacent
to the existing church building. She described the subject tract
currently zoned R-1. The church received a permit from the
Highway Department which provided access to this parking lot, but
they were not aware that they should receive permission by the
City. She further explained that the Planning Staff received
direction from the Planning and Zoning Commission to contact the
church to inform them of what they needed to do.
The Project Review Committee reviewed the site plan and found they
could not approve the site plan as proposed for several reasons:
1) islands, curbing and marking of parking spaces were not shown;
2) no landscaping was proposed; and, 3) the surface existing is a
crushed limestone surface.
The Planning and Zoning Commission denied the conditional use
permit by a vote of 4-1. Thus, the Church appealed the permit to
the Council. She explained that the Council has three directions
in which to take relative to a use permit. One, overturn the
decision in its entirety; secondly, uphold the decision; or
thirdly, remand the case back to the Commission.
Councilman Brown asked what is the difference between this lot and
the parking lot at Lick Creek Park. Ms. Kee replied that in terms
of the surface, there is not much difference.
Councilman McIlhaney asked if there is a time limit which can be
put on a conditional use permit. Ms. Kee replied affirmatively,
if the Council chooses to consider a specific point, the Ordinance
reads that the Council could remand the case back to the Commis-
sion for their consideration of this specific point.
Mr. Bobby Hubley of 411 Pease in Bryan, Church Business
Administrator of Aldersgate Methodist Church, came forward to
speak in favor of this request. He referred to the materials in
the Council packet. He pointed out that the church leadership at
this time cannot raise and spend $100,000 for a parking lot that
would be used for only a few hours a week when there are other
desperate needs in our community. He requested that the City
Council grant the Church's appeal until such time the new
ordinances are developed and approved by the City.

Councilman Haddox commented that this is a "tough" situation, yet
the church should abide by the City ordinances within some
reasonable period of time.
Mr. Hubley remarked that he will be happy to work with the staff
in securing a better parking lot in which the city would approve.
Mayor Ringer closed the public hearing.
Agenda Item No. 6 - Consideration of an appeal of the Planning and
Zoning Commission denial of a conditional use permit for parking
lot expansion at Aldersgate United Methodist Church.
Councilman Brown moved to remand this issue back to the Planning
and Zoning Commission and ask the Commission to give Aldersgate
Church a time period for the use permit and other items of con-
sideration such as landscaping, etc. to bring the parking lot in
compliance with the City Code.
Councilman Birdwell seconded the motion which carried unanimously,
7-0.
Councilman Gardner moved to ask the P&Z to look at possibilities
of developing specific standards for temporary parking.
Councilman Brown seconded the motion which carried unanimously,
7-0.
Agenda Item No. 7 - Consideration of rescinding Ordinance No. 1252
and Resolution No. 2-12-81-8 relative to Child Care/Development
Facilities Permits.
Zoning Official Kee described this item. She pointed out that
this permit is administered from the Planning Division and is
simply a checklist of items already covered by the Texas Dept. of
Human Resources and County Health Dept. through their registration
processes. She stated that the Planning staff feels it is diffi-
cult to justify the needs for the City to issue permits because of
the redundancy of the requirements with State and County require-
ments. Furthermore, the city governs the use and the location of
the child care properties through the conditional use permit
process.

Councilman Birdwell moved to direct the City Attorney to prepare
an ordinance for the Mayor's signature which will rescind Ordi-
nance No. 1252 and Resolution No. 2-12-81-8.
Councilman Brown seconded the motion which carried unanimously,
7-0.
Agenda Item No. 8 - Consideration of an ordinance amending Chapter
3, Section 5, Subsections F(2) and F(3) of the Code pertaining to
the assessment of property owners for the construction/reconstruc-
tion of streets upon petition.
City Attorney Locke explained that the proposed ordinance gives
the Council an opportunity to establish a maximum assessment on a
petition paving. Also, the ordinance clarifies that all assess-
ments begin from the time of completion of the street. It also
states a clearer definition of the practice of the city in deter-
mining the paving costs, 1/3 of the paving costs will be paid by
the City and 2/3 paving costs will be paid by the abutting
property owners.
Councilman Birdwell asked if the city has ever allowed a payment
schedule. City Attorney Locke replied that she does not recall
any project where there was a payment schedule strictly enforced.
Councilman Birdwell stated that if a payment schedule was en-
forced, this action may enhance the ability to receive other
petitions for streets throughout the city which need major
repairs. Councilman Haddox commented that there may be persons
who would not be able to pay.
Mr. Ragland clarified that the payment schedule could be placed in
the assessment ordinance giving the city the flexibility without
amending this ordinance to change the scheduling of payments.
Mr. Ragland added that the assessing ordinance provides for any
length of time to pay the money back and a percentage rate.
Councilman Haddox moved to approve Ordinance No. 1749.
McIlhaney seconded the motion.
Councilman
Councilman Birdwell moved to amend Ordinance 1749 to add the
phrase to Section F(2); "Upon application by landowners, the
assessment may be paid in five (5) equal annual installments with
interest at the highest rate allowed by law. Mayor Ringer
reiterated that this statement "ties" the city's hands in any
assessment ordinance as opposed to allowing the various assessing
ordinances to changing the time period.

A~enda Item No. 9 - Consideration of an ordinance closin~ the
public hearing and determinin~ the necessity for making paving
improvements on Fidelity Street between Hi~hland and Montclair
streets.
City Engineer Pullen stated that a petition was received by the
Engineering office to pave Fidelity Street. A public hearing was
held at the last regular council meeting. The preliminary costs
estimate for the project is $37,117.28. Staff proposes that
funding for this project be funded out of the Public Services
Department Street Maintenance operating budget. In relation to
the costs paid by each property owner, the amount assessed would
be $33.33 per linear foot as described in Alternate B or 2/3 costs
paid by the property owners. Mr. Pullen described Alternate A and
Alternate C.
Mr. Pullen noted the figures assessed to each property owner for
the project including Fairview, estimated at $110,000. Mr.
Pullen pointed out that the property owners were given the $19.97
per linear foot figure when they were notified of the estimate on
the project.
Mark Coppock of 301 Fidelity came forward to address the Council.
He stated that a total of fifteen property owners of the four
blocks have signed the petition. He mentioned that indication was
given to the petitioners that the $19.97 per linear foot was a
preliminary estimate. He stated concern that if the amount
changes to a higher assessment figure such as $30 or $40, it is a
possibility that some of the property owners may withdraw their
name from the petition.
Ms. Janna Keel of 600 Montclair addressed the Council. She stated
that she could not afford an amount higher than $20.00 per linear
foot.
Councilman McIlhaney stated that she has no problem with approving
the $19.97 assessment because this is the way the ordinance was
interpreted; 1/3 costs to the property owners, and 2/3 costs to
the City. The property owners were led to believe this figure
when the original estimates were presented to them. Councilman
Haddox concurred.

Mr. Ragland clarified that the actual costs will not be set until
the project is complete.

He reviewed the process which has taken place in considering this
item. He stated that if the cost per linear foot goes beyond
$20.00 he will remove his name from the petition. He stated that
the petitioners were led to believe from certain facts stated from
councilmembers at an earlier council meeting in May that this
figure would be the same for all four blocks in the Fidelity
Street.
Ms. Jody Trutman, 200 Block of Fidelity spoke to the Council. She
stated that if the linear footage is raised from $20.00, she would
remove her name from the petition.
Mrs. Helen Pugh, 305 Fidelity, expressed her views to the
Council. She requested that the Council honor the $19.97 price as
stated.

the Council. He requested that the council recommend paving the
additional three blocks between from Fairview to Montclair.
Councilman Brown moved approval of Ordinance No. 1750 stating the
modification that the paving project include Fidelity Street from
Fairview to Montclair and assessment be based upon one-third (1/3)
paving costs to the property owners, two-thirds (2/3) to the
City. Mr. Pullen provided the maximum total cost assessable under
the ordinance as $47,015.83.
Councilman Schneider seconded the motion which carried unanimous-
ly, 7-0.
Agenda Item No. 10 - Cons%deration of a request for transfer from
the Utility Fund Contingency to purchase a Dipe pusher-puller for
use by the Public Utilities Department.
Electrical Superintendent Havens explained that this equipment
will enable the City to minimize the landscaping damage while
working on underground utilites. Also, this equipment will result
in savings in labor and maintenance costs.
Councilman Birdwell moved approval of the request from the Utility
Fund Contingency in the amount of $14,000 for the purchase of a
pipe pusher-puller for use by the Public Utilities Department.

Committee's proposed bu~out and consent offers relating to the
Missouri disposal site for PCB material.
City Attorney Locke described this item. She stated that the
Environmental Protection Agency found that the disposal site at
Holden, Missouri was not found to meet EPA standards. The City of
College Station has disposed of 6,875 pounds of waste at that
site. The Rose Chemical Company filed bankruptcy due to the
cleanup costs, but the bankruptcy court held that cleanup cost
cannot be "evaded" through a bankruptcy filing; therefore, the
City is responsible for its portion of the cleanup. A committee
was formed by the generators involved and this committee hired
Clean Sites, Inc. to coordinate the cleanup. Two options have
been presented to the City: 1) buyout for $17,875.00; or 2)
participate on a continuing basis for $10,518.75. The staff

ruling determining that the cities and counties who collect

Councilman Birdwell explained that he does not see a problem in
allowing a carnival in an undeveloped R-1 zone as long as the car-
nival is beyond 250 feet from a residential area. He also does

poses. Mr. Ragland responded that the Fire Officials felt that a
