Will you encourage furtl
building of apartment compli
for students and how do you
this will affect the city in the
5-10 years?
I think we are overgrowing,
all, but some builders areoutiijrj
quick profit and they’re not
at building on a long range scale.|
think we are over-apartmentisiri[|
this area. There are so many apart,
inents in College Station, that its
new industry came to town, lli (
employees and their families would
have to build houses outside of
town.
Do you think College Statioj
needs a property tax increase?
To meet services, we need a t®
increase, and let’s face it, ingoing
to be inevitable.
Do you see any problems witfi
the current zoning code? Would
you consider new areas for con
struction?
No, not really. It’s sure a lot bet
ter than Bryan that doesn’t have any
zoning code.
We need more industry in the
city. College Station shouldn’t rely
on its students for growth. We also
need more land management. Let’s
not grow until we know what were
growing into.
Would you consider construction
of more recreational facilities?
Yes. College Station needs a rec
reational center for women’s groups
and social gatherings.

Very definitely I’m against ih rouk
ward system. I don’t believe lk
College Station is large enough9
diversified enough to warrant!
ward system. It would be easierl!
put people on the Council whoan
well qualified and interested in!
city as a whole, with the at largesii-
tern. We are hoping to vote that si
this election in April. They voted!
ward system in two years ago aid
ever since it has been onebigproh
lem. It has been expensive for tk
city, just to arrange for the ward sis
tern.
Will you encourage furtherbul
ing of apartment complexes for slu
dents and how do you think thiswl
affect the city in the next S-lOjears:
The university is thelife-bloodo
the city, so if more apartments art
needed they should be built. Thelasj
survey showed that there were
vacancies in the apartments in
Bryan-CoIIege Station area. I
that means beds, not 2000 totij
apartments. I don’t believe
there are more apartments neededa!
this time. I’m afraid if they
them and we don’t need them, M
are going to have instant slums in tie
next five to ten years.
Do you think College Static!
needs a property tax increase?
Yes, very definitely. We havetlii!|;
new bond proposal for the April first
election. We need hinds for streel
building improvements and parkacj
quisition improvements, and tW
only way we can get it is throughatai
increase. |J
Do you see any problems withtb |
current zoning code? Would you |
consider new areas for construe- ;£
tion?
Yes, we need better procedures
for rezoning large vacant areas in tlij
city where present zoning could
have undesirable impact on sure
rounding residential areas. We need
better protection of residential areas
from commercial and apartment in
trusion. They need to study the areas,
more closely, and designate which
are apartment areas, so that it does
not intrude on the existing
neighborhoods and single-family resl
idential areas. This is something that
has to have a lot of good planning,
and studying to see whether the new
areas are needed. We also need to
continue to review and update the
city’s comprehensive plan since zon
ing should be based on that. The
comprehensive plan is an overall
plan to the whole city and it indicates
what density the city wants built in
the different areas.
Would you consider construction
of more recreational facilities?
Yes, we need a favorable vote on
the bond issue that is coming up in
April. The bond proposal is for four
parks and recreational facilities. The
bond is for $1,800,000. This will in
clude both acquisition and im
provements to existing park lands.
We need more neighborhood parks
where we can have basketball, tennis
and other facilities for the smaller
neighborhoods. This Way the young
sters won’t have to go as for to get to a
park. I know the city, is consideringa
new swimming pool for College
Hills. Presently College Station has
only one pool which is the Rice
Creek swimming pool. The city has
grown so rapidly, and we are defi
nitely underdeveloped in the park
