College Station Homes With Unique Yard Art?

Driving around  College Station homes can be quite the fun expedition whether you’re in the market for the new home or not. You never really know what you’ll run into in this part of the Brazos county; Texas art and culture teems from every house, down every street, in ways that makes even the most gruff Texan smile and beam with pride. Texas art and culture is not bound to lone stars and rusted old tin either; just from driving around you can witness the rich history and peculiarity of its people and their varied interests.College Station Home Elephant Yard Art

Many Texans actively try to give their home as much character and personality as they can, be it their beautiful gardens, lawn art, or the home itself. Loads of women and men pour countless hours into making their lawn lush and verdant and their flowers and trees stand straight and tall.

Often times, among the wonderful plants and verdure, you’ll find some curious lawn art that you’d never expect but would certainly regret missing. Even driving through College Station neighborhoods around Highway 30, peeking Read the rest of this entry »

College Station Water – Where Does It Come From?

Do you ever wonder where the College Station water you drink comes from? glass-of-water

College Station’s water is ground water from deep wells in Simsboro Sand about 3,000 feet down.  The water is pumped from the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer.

Is the water hot or cold when it comes up? Would you believe that the temperature for the water is 118 degrees Fahrenheit? The cooling towers at the Sandy Point Pump Station help reduce the temperature down to 85 degrees.

From the Sandy Point Pump Station the water travels about 13 miles to the Dowling Road Pump Station. At this Pump Station chlorine is added to disinfect and have fluoride added. The storage tanks at Dowling Road hold about 8 million Read the rest of this entry »

College Station Tree Preservation Ordinance – What Do YOU Think?

March 26, 2009 the College Station City Council is having a workshop to review the current draft of the College Station Tree Preservation Ordinance.

chainsawtree

Are you ready for the City of College Station to tell you what trees you can cut down?

The City of College Station City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance Purpose states:

Are you ready to have to get a permit to cut a tree? Are you ready to APPLY for a permit to grade your property if there is a tree larger than 8 inches in diameter?

If you are outside the City Limits think you don’t have to worry? Sorry – right now the draft says -

Yes, there are some exemptions. Yes this is only a draft. BUT, will this become law for the City of College Station? Do we need more regulation to limit real estate development? Do we need more governmental interference?

Remember in 2009 the College Station City Council has landlords registering their properties if they are renting –  with a fee of course. This College Station Tree Ordinance is just ONE MORE…..

College Station Rental Registration Requirement Beginning March 1 2009!

College Station Requires you to Register Your Tenants? Or Do you have to Register the College Station Landlord? Or Do You Register the College Station Property? Registration begins March 1, 2009 and must be done within 90 days!

Yes!

Registration of the property with contact information so the City can get in touch with the actual landlord/owner is required. This year the fee is $15 for each property. Who knows what the fee will be next year or the years to come.  Once the registration begins it will be easy for the City of College Station to know how many properties are rentals (and which ones) to make more mandates if they would like. It will be much easier to find out how many unrelated people are in a property if they know which ones are rented.  Did Texas A&M know about the registration? Did they agree?

Is this the beginning of additional regulations of rental properties in College Station? Is this a way to mandate fewer students? Is this good for the city or is it something that will hurt property values? Will this cause investors to look to purchase in Bryan rather than College Station to stay away from more government regulations?  

Who knows!

See the full news release from the City of College Station below.

College Station School District Number of Students for 2008

Eddie Coulson’s, Monday Report on the schools in College Station was quite interesting. I understand he knows our kids are on Facebook and maybe with a little encouragement we can get him to join us. (You’ll have to ask him about the joke here….)

As of September 1, 2008 there were 9, 504 students enrolled in school. This is a 6.2% increase compared to the sixth day of school last year.  This translates into a 558 student increase at CSISD compared to the sixth day of school last year.  When Head Start Students begin school on September 4, 2008 there will be another 178 students enrolled.

The 558 new students…

Are you surprised at which 2 schools are Read the rest of this entry »
