GRANT (CDBG) PROJECT NO. B96-UC-48-0001-22-50
Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Project No. B96-UC-48-0001-22-50 consists
of the replacement of approximately 2,350 I.f. of wastewater pipe in the Oakwood Terrace
Addition utilizing trenchless technology. The project is an extension of last year's CDBG
project and involves work in the backyards of 41 Euless citizens. Tarrant County's
participation in the project is $165,509. The City's share is approximately $30,000. Tarrant
County opened the bids for this project on October 22, 1997.
Assistant City Engineer Andrea Baxter explained that the low bidder could not get bonding,
the second low bidder, Nadesda Construction, has not performed work as a company,
although Nadesda's President Jerry Manning has performed this type of work with another
company. She noted that there were three options: 1) award the bid to Nadesda
Construction; 2) award the contract to the third low bidder, Hall-Albert Construction; or 3)

years work could be combined. This year's project includes 2,200 feet of pipe and next
year's includes 1,000 feet. He noted that it would take approximately 75 calendar days to
complete this project and 90-100 days total if combined. It would also take 60-75 days to

West, and Street Right-Of-Way, from C-2 to R-1 (Single Family Detached Dwelling
District).
Director of Planning & Development Bo Bass stated that staff recommends tabling the
zoning case due to several written letters of protest having been received, the lot being
impacted by heavy drainage, and the fact the property could be developed as single family
or commercial. He stated that the larger tract has a 99-year ground lease on the property
and cannot be sold with any zoning other than commercial. He stated that staffs original
recommendation was R-1 and the Planning & Zoning Commission agreed. He stated that
the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended removing Tract 1B, Rogers Elijah
Survey, A-1299, from consideration.
Mr. Carlisle Smith, owner of Tract 1B, Rogers Elijah Survey, stated that he understood his
piece of property was removed from this request because it was included in the map by
mistake.
In response to a question, Mr. Bass stated that Tract 1B was included by mistake and
asked that it be excluded from action, other than tabling. The Planning & Zoning
Commission recommended excluding that tract.
Mr. Barry Knight, 5400 Renaissance Tower, Dallas, representing property owners of Tract
1 B2, stated that the property has been zoned commercial for the last 30 years. He stated
that the 99-year ground lease on this property makes the property useless for anything
other than commercial. He submitted a petition stating that the neighboring owners want
it to remain commercial. He noted that when the three lots facing Pipeline Road were

T44. platted as part of the single family subdivision in Oakwood Terrace West Addition, the initial
plat showed those lots being commercial along with deed restrictions placed on those lots
for commercial use. He requested that instead of tabling this request, that it be denied in
order to retain the commercial zoning.
Susan Hensen, 309 Sunset Drive, stated her opposition to having more residential which
would impact Oakwood Terrace Elementary.
Planning & Zoning Commissioner George Zahn, homeowner in this area, stated that the

Pipeline Road and he did not want to see a gas station there in the future.
