Local
Woodson Village proposal
defeated by city council
By DANIEL PUCKETT
Battalion Stall
After a heated public hearing.
College Station City Council
Thursday night voted to dis
approve the plat for the controver
sial Woodson Village subdivision
off Holleman Drive.
The council also approved re
zoning ordinances for two sections
of property on Southwest Park
way, and approved increases in
the size of the police and fire de
partments.
At Thursday night s meeting,
residents of the Bee Creek water
shed repeated objections they
have made in recent months to the
proposed Woodson Village subdi
vision, saying it would overbur
den an already inadequate sewage
system which is damaging their
homes.
However, Elrey Ash, director
of capital improvements, said the
system should be adequate to
meet the area’s needs, and prop
osed that the city inspect the sys
tem to determine why flooding
was occurring. He also cited city
staff reports that the building of
the 25-house subdivision would

not significantly add to the risk of
flooding during storms.
But after angry reactions from
residents of the area, the council
voted 4 to 2 to disapprove the plat
of the subdivision and voted
unanimously to proceed with in
spection of the sewage system.
Council members Pat Boughton
and Tony Jones voted to approve
the plat.
In other action, council mem
bers unanimously approved re
zoning a 111.49-acre tract on the
north side of Southwest Parkway
between D&tmouth Street and
the East By-pass from residential
to residential and commercial.
The council also approved rezon
ing a 22.37-acre tract on the south
side of Southwest Parkway just
west of the East By-pass from re
sidential to residential and com
mercial.
At its Dec. 3 meeting, the Plan
ning and Zoning Commission had
recommended that the council
disapprove one of the zoning
changes requested by the de
veloper, Ronald Cruse. However,
after commission member Murl
Bailey said he had only made the
recommendation to get the matter
out of the commission’s hands, the
council unanimously approved
Cruse’s request.
Also considered were police
and fire department requests for
increases in the number of em
ployees.
