Woods temporarily spared
By Barb Richardson
The Omaha City Coundl has delayed
rezoning of Tomlinson Woods for the
third time.
According to Steve Rosenblatt, city
council president, the rezoning issue was
delayed unta Nov. 7 at Tuesday's meeting.
Tomlinson Woods, located in the middle
of an Omaha suburban area, is 34H acres of
95 to 100 varities of mature trees.
Controversy over the land emerged
when a developer's firm, Creative Land
Consultants, asked the city council to re
zone the area for a home development.
Opposing the developer's views is a citi
zens' group that wants the land turned
into a state arboretum.
Waiting for commitment
"The city council is waiting for a
commitment from the United States Fish
and Wildlife Commission," Rosenblatt said.
Pat Drickey, caretaker of the woods,
said, "Congress has allocated $900 billion
to the commission for the purchase of land
tracts in the United States. The
commission travels from state to state
finding tracts of land to purchase for
their environmental qualities. Tomlinson
Woods is now the top priority on a pur
chasing list of six states."
Drickey added that in order for the
commission to make' the purchase,
Tomlinson Woods must be the top priority
of 10 states.
Fellowships
established
The NU Foundation
announced Tuesday the
establishment of the Carl
John Warden Graduate Fel
lowships in psychology in
honor of the noted pioneer
psychologist who co-designed
standardized mazes
to study animal behavior.
The late Dr. Warden
founded the Laboratory of
Comparative Psychology at
Columbia University in
1924 and served as its dir
ector for more than 30
years.
"We've (the citizens' arboretum group)
said all along that there was nothing like
Tomlinson Woods in the six state area.
But, it took a federal official to make
people believe us," Drickey said.
90-day delay
"The commission has asked for the 90
day delay to finish site selections from
other states," Drickey said.
According to Drickey, if the land is
purchased by the commission, Tomlinson
Woods will be turned into an arboretum.
"Congressman John Cavanaugh
recommended Tomlinson Woods to the
Fish and Wildlife Commission. John has
been a lot of help to the citizens' group,"
Drickey said.
Explaining his reason for voting against
the delay, Rosenblatt said, "the vote was
an unreasonable delay. The council is not
voting on acceptance or rejection of the
land as an arboretum, but the rezoning of
the land.
"In my opinion, rezoning will be voted
down in November because a protest peti
tion has been filed by people living near
Tomlinson Woods. The petition requires
a vote of five council members in favor of
rezoning to rezone the land. There will
never be five votes in favor of rezoning,"
Rosenbaltt said.
Council member Mary Kay Green said,
"if the United States Fish and Wildlife
Commission is able to purchase the land,
zoning of the area will remain the same."
