4—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Dec. 7, 1983 Council debates public land in zoning code By ANNE CONNERS and MICHAEL J. VAND Collegian Staff Writers Public lands and their proper place in the bo rough’s zoning code was the subject of prolonged debate at Monday’s meeting of the State College Municjpal Council. Roger Downs, State College Planning Commis sion chairman, defined public districts as plots of land owned by the borough or a municipal authority that are not subject to usual zoning restrictions. The commission recommended that the council rezone all public lands so that they would be the same as adjacent property classifications. “We’re tidying up the zoning map and getting rid of a district that serves no function,” Downs said. “The public district is absolutely and totally flexi ble. And it’s the only part of the zoning ordinance that is out of control. The whole purpose of zoning is to control land usage.” But several council membfers objected to auto matically reclassifying all 19 public districts by amending the zoning ordinance. “This is a dynamic community, and we should rezone on a case-by-case basis,” council member Gary Wiser said.

Since the bus garage moved in in 1975, residents have complained of excessive noise and fumes in the area. In a 4-3 vote Monday, the council approved a motion by Wiser that the land be reclassified to a R -2 (residential) zone. However, CATA managing director Paul Over sier and several council members said the rezoning of the land might make it more difficult for CATA to sell the land and move to a new facility, which it hopes to do in a year. If the CATA land had remained in the public domain, the only possible buyers'would have been the borough or another municipal authority. But now that the land is reclassified as R-2, Oversier worries that neither the borough nor other inves tors will want to buy it. “If the borough adheres to its own zoning regula tions, then the R-2 district would eliminate the borough from being a potential buyer and quite frankly, the borough is only one of the two buyers we can identify right now,” Oversier said. Originally, CATA was supposed to pay back the 96 percent funding it received from the state and Hill in Washington, D.C. Sagan said some of Hollings’ strong qualities included his practical ap proach to problems and the fact that Hollings has proved his legislative experience as a Democratic senator for South Carolina. “Hollings does what’s good for the country not what’s good for this women’s group or what’s good for this black group what’s good for the country,” he said. Sagan said he became interested in serving on the Hollings campaign while interning in Washington this past summer at the Congressional Campaign Committee which included the offices of Gary Hart, D-Ind., and John Glenn, D-Ohio, as well as Hol lings. “I was in charge of all the articles which were released to the press and through this I learned about what Hollings stood for,” he said. “From this I decided to back Hollings.” Save 20% -25% During Our Lingerie Sale FREE Gift Wrapping on All Danks Purchases.

But because of CATA’s over crowded and unsafe garage conditions, the federal and state governments had indicated that they would accept 96 percent of whatever price the property would fetch “The federal and state government has said ‘We don’t care if you take a loss, just give us what you can get,’ ” Oversier said. Council member Mary Ann Haas agreed that the borough might not be able to find any buyers for the land if it were in a R-2. “I think R-2 is unrealistic for the land, and I think we’re tying ourselves up unmercifully,” she said. Council member Daniel Chaffee, a realtor, said yesterday he does not think it will be more difficult to sell the land as R-2 because it could be sold for a nonconforming use. Although he favors changing the zoning on a case-by-case basis he said he voted against the measure because the decision was made too hastily. Chaffee said the council did not have time to digest a legal opinion on the change from Borough Solicitor Robert Kistler. He said he believes the decision was rushed through because a new council takes office next month. Two members who voted for the change, Joseph Wakeley Jr. and Fred Honsberger, will not be returning to the council in January. ence included service as military adviser and representative for the Richard Orloski for Congress Com mittee 1982 Campaign.

Police services reported two trees missing last weekend. A large ornamental pine wort. $6OO was taken from the Blue golf course area, and an ornamental tree worth $225 was missing from the Applied Research Lab on Burrowes Road. “The monetary value of the trees is not a commercial estimate,” Kinley said. Com mercial trees usually cost approximately $3 per foot. University research trees cost $3O per foot, and the ornamental blue spruces and evergreens cost up to $6O per foot, she said. Theft or damage of research trees is some times irreplaceable because students and professors use them in research and clas swork, Suit said. Jeffrey Ertel, University grounds mainte nance foreman, said damage estimates are determined by the cost of removing the stump or damaged tree, replacing the tree and installing the new tree. Republican Committee must elect new chair, vice chair By MICHAEL J. VAND Collegian Staff Writer The chairman and vice chairwo man of the Centre County Republi can Committee last week announced they will not run for re election in the May 1984 primary. Chairman Floyd Fischer and vice chairwoman Joyce Kerr are completing their third terms in office. Both were initially elected to the two-year positions in May, 1978. Fischer said he and Kerr believe the time has come for new blood in the leadership of the Centre Coun ty Republican Party and neither desires to become permanent holders of the offices. Both intend to remain active in the political arena, but neither Fischer nor Kerr have announced any future plans. “Although each of us reached this decision separately we are making a joint announcement ear- The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Dec. 7, 1983—5.

CORNER OF COLLEGE AND ALLEN DOWNTOWN STATE COLLEGE A reduction in the number of thefts may be seen this year because students will be leav ing sooner for the holidays and returning later than in previous years, Suit said. In 1981, damages totaled $20,000 when 53 trees were stolen or damaged, Kinley said. In 1982, police services used the media to ask students not to steal or damage University owned trees and also warned the students of the consequences. Six trees were reported damaged or stolen that year, Kinley said. ly so that interested candidates among county Republicans can make appropriate plans to seek the office,” Fischer said. Fischer said several people have expressed interest in running ■ for the posts, but declined further comment. Bernie Hughs, chair man of the Penn State College * Republicans, said he did not know of possible candidates for the posi tions. Interested persons must file for the election before the end of January, Hughs said. State College Municipal Council member Fred Honsberger said he was not interested in running for either of the posts. Honsberger was defeated in the primary race for the Republican nomination for Centre County commissioner this year and will not be returning to the council. Council president Joseph Wake ley, Jr. did not rule out the possi bility of seeking the post of chairman. , 3~~~ :~,~ ~, ~`~ ,&.. -• ~
