Councilman Dozier moved that Texas Highway Department Minute Order No.
62940 be approved in the form of a Resolution to be signed by Mayor Anderson, which
authorizes the State Highway Department to proceed with the Area Transportation Plan
for Brazos County. Motion was seconded by Councilman Cooley. Motion carried.
The Resolution and Minute Order are attached and made a part of these Minutes.
The next item for consideration on the agenda was the recommendation by the
Planning and Zoning Commission on the proposed annexation of additional territory
into the city limits of College Station, south of the West Loop between Highway 6 and
Wellborn Road for a depth of not less than 500 feet. Mayor Anderson read a letter
he had received from Assistant City Attorney Tom Giesenschlag which defined
"extraterritorial jurisdiction". There was a considerable amount of discussion by
council members, as well as citizens in the audience concerning the proposed annexation.
Edsel Jones stated that he wished to go on record as hoping the land would be
annexed because he felt it would be a great asset to Oceanography International, a new
business which is being put in within the area under consideration for the proposed
annexation.
Some indicated that the property should not be annexed unless we could definitely
serve it with water and sewerage. Some councilmen indicated that unless it were annexed,
we should provide no water to the area. Councilman Dozier moved that Ordinance No. 662
be adopted, calling for a public hearing on the proposed annexation of land 500 feet
south of the West Loop from Highway to our extraterritorial jurisdiction line with
the City of Bryan. Motion was seconded by Councilman McGraw. Motion carried.
The request for furnishing water to the Oceanography International, a new
business located on the Western By-pass was brought to the attention of the Council
by Mayor Anderson. Mr. Edsel Jones wrote a letter which contained a proposal
requesting water for the new business. He requested the Council to participate in
the cost of the construction of a water line out to this new business in the amount of
$2, 500. There was a considerable amount of discussion concerning this proposal.
Councilman Ransdell moved that the city agree to furnish water and cooperate with
the developers to place a water line under the West By Pass with the city to pay the
difference in providing an 8 -inch line over a 6 -inch line proposed, and include assistance
in the boring to an amount not to exceed $2, 500. Motion was seconded by Councilman
Cooley. Motion passed.
