Westinghouse plan approved
By RANDY CLEMENTS
Battalion Staff
The College Station Planning
and Zoning Commission approved
the Westinghouse parking lot plan
and tabled for the second time a
102- acre rezoning request.
Dallas Morris, landscape
architect for the Westinghouse
plant, said a major concern of resi
dents of the Raintree subdivision,
which is adjacent to the plant, was
the lighting for the facility. The
lighting for the parking lot will
meet city requirements, he said.
Additionally, plant security
lights and the loading dock will not
be visible from the subdivision, he
said.
“We’ve taken pains in develop
ment to minimize harsh lighting
and have payed about 20 percent
more on landscaping to buffer the
plant site from the neighbor
hood, ” said Frederick P. Hunsick-
er, project manager of the elec
trical assembly plant.
Neighbors in the Raintree sub
division also were concerned ab
out the influence the plant would
have on the neighborhood be
cause of frequent truck deliveries
and the type of product produced
by the plant.
Eight to 10 truck deliveries will
be made a week — with a limited
amount of raw materials being del
ivered, Hunsicker said.
The Westinghouse plant, ex
pected to be manufacturing by
January 1983, will manufacture
printed wiring assembly, Hun
sicker said.
For the second time in three
weeks, the Commission tabled a
rezoning request for 102 acres on
the north side of Southwest Park
way — despite, hearing favorable
comments from the developer,
neighbors and the city staff.
Commissioner Anne Hazen
said the proposed medium-
density apartment zone, allowing
a maximum of 24 units per acre,
too high and should be re-
14 units per acre.
Ron Cruse, a developer of prop
erty across Southwest Parkway
from the 102 acres being consi
dered, said tabling the request
doesn’t do justice to the property
owners or neighboring residents.
Cruse had met with the develop
er, area residents, the city staff
and the Commission subcommit
tee since the Commission’s last
meeting Oct. 15.

The commission will have a
workshop meeting Wednesday to
come up with an acceptable plan
and will reconsider the request for
the third time at the Nov. 19

BROWNSVILLE — A federal
grand jury that saw videotapes
showing McAllen policemen pun
ching and kicking prisoners in
dicted five former officers on
charges of violating the prisoners’
civil rights.
The charges, filed Wednesday,
stemmed from an FBI investiga
tion that began last April, and
from four months of hearings by
the grand jury. The investigation
is continuing.
Videotapes played for jurors
showed officers beating, kicking
and slapping prisoners brought to
the McAllen police department’s
booking desk.
The tapes were discovered
when one man who was arrested
overheard an officer tell another to
shut off the videotape machine.
The man later told the U.S. Jus
tice Department about the
videotapes, and a federal judge
ordered the tapes to be preserved.
All of the indicted officers have
resigned from the department at
different times during the past two
years, a police spokesman in
McAllen said.

One indictment charged former
Sgt. Roberto R. Ramos with
ordering other officers to beat a
prisoner on Sept. 24, 1977.
A separate indictment claimed
ex-officers Tom W. Carter, Jaime
E. Conteras and Alfredo Saldana
“did willfully strike, kick, beat and
assault” a prisoner on Oet. 23,
1978.
Former Officer Isidro Ybanez
Jr. was charged in a third indict
ment with assaulting a prisoner in
McAllen on May 20, 1979.
If convicted on the charges of
deprivation of rights, the men
could each face maximum sent
ences of one year in prison and
$1,000 fines.
