Everett Janne, Carl Tishler, and Jim Gardner; City
Planner Lee Roy George; City Engineer Lloyd James;
and City Secretary Lynda Swoveland
Members Absent: Carl Landiss
Visitors Present: J. W. Wood, Antone Dobrovolny, C. A. Dobrovolny,

Chairman Wells called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Room
of the City of College Station, Texas. He introduced Dr. R. J. Baldauf, who presented
a most interesting program of color slides on "Beautification in Brazos County".
On motion by Commissioner Rhodes, seconded by Commissioner Horne, the
Minutes of December 1, 1969 meeting were approved as written. Motion carried.
• Mr. Wells briefly explained the history of the Dobrovolny zoning requests
which were on the Agenda. It was explained that the owners had previously requested
zoning changes No. P&Z 25-69, 26-69, 27-69, 28-69 and 29-69, all having been given
a public hearing, and that the requests had been tabled. The owners, having withdrawn
P&Z 27,-69 , 28-69 and 29-69. P&Z 25-69 and 26-69 were withdrawn from the table
by motion of Commissioner Gardner, seconded by Commissioner Tishler and approved
by unanimous vote of the Commission.
Thus, the cases for consideration were P&Z 25-69, P&Z 26-69, P&Z 35-69
and P&Z 36-69.
A lengthy discussion followed concerning the rezoning requests. Questions from
P&Z members were directed to Mr. Wood, who is the architect for the Dobrovolny Estate.
Some of the questions were whether a neighborhood business district would not be
acceptable instead of District No. 5, second business district. The question of whether
the Dobrovolny's had negotiated for additional right of way (for proposed Anderson Street
extension) with the Catholic Church and whether the question of right of way with the
owners of the school property had been discussed.
City Engineer Lloyd James stated he would prefer the zoning.request be governed by the
alignment of the street (Anderson) rather than having the zoning determine the alignment of
. the street.
Mr. Wood explained that the developers were going to try and create a buffer
zone by having apartment, duplex and single family eventually in the area. The question
of what type of drainage the developer planned to use in the area was also raised.

Mr. Calliham from the audience stated that he wished to go on record as feeling
the Dobrovolny's had worked out a very fair and equitable compromise and he would be
in favor of granting their zoning requests.
City Planner Lee Roy George stated that at present, the city had 540 acres
zoned for apartments and of that amount, only 41 acres were being utilized at present.
Mr. Wells asked if there was any objection by commission members to deferring
action on the zoning requests until the January 5, 1970 meeting. He explained that since
the developers had not officially withdrawn their other zoning requests until December 10,
the city officials (engineer, planner, public works departments), had not had sufficient
time to study the requests in depth. Since there were no objections, the developers
and their architect, Mr. Wood, were told that a decision would be made at the January 5,
1970 meeting.
Lee Roy George passed out copies-of the Annual Report Draft of the Planning and
Zoning Commission activities for 1969, which will be submitted to the City Council.
Commissioner Stone moved the meeting adjourn.
