Dominik street opinion poll
Residents dislike rezoning proposal
By GERALD OLIVIER
Staff Writer
Round two of the Dominik Street
residents versus Harry Seaback will
be fought before the College Station
City Council Wednesday night.
Seaback, owner of Plantation
Oaks Apartments and a 32-acre tract
between Dominik Street and
Highway 30, has submitted a new
proposal for the rezoning of the
Dominik streetland.
The first proposal, submitted last
year, was refused by the City Coun
cil when the residents of Dominik
Street complained.
The original proposal called for
the building of apartments on the
entire tract. Seaback has revised
this to include a buffer zone of single
family residences and duplexes be
tween the apartments and the
Dominik Street homes.
Battalion reporters polled nine
Dominik Street residents and found
them overwhelmingly opposed to
the building of apartments in this
area.
Arthur
Sherwood, 1400
Dominik, calls Seaback’s apart
ments “instant slums.”
Another Dominik Street resident
said, “I guess apartments are neces
sary, but I wish they wpuld build
them someplace else.”
“Property owners have the right
to expect that zoning will not be
changed arbitrarily,” said Mrs.
Lane Stephenson.
The Dominik residents contend
that when they moved to the area
they were told that the land now
owned by Seaback would be de
veloped into large estates. They re
sent the possibility of apartments
being built in the site.
The residents appear to resent
Harry Seaback, sometimes, more
than the actual apartments.
Bruce Fisher said Seaback keeps
“hammering away at this until the
people on Dominik get tired of
bucking it.
At least four other comments Bat
talion reporters received concern
ing Seaback were not printable
under current libel laws.
Along with a lack of faith in Sea
back, the residents expressed doubt
in the City Council and the Plan-
