as submitted in the council packet. He stated that Deputy Superintendent Glen
Cummings was in attendance to answer any questions.
Council Member Walker asked Mr. Glen Cummings if the sprinklers would be the first
project started at Trinity when construction is begun?
Mr. Cummings stated that it would be one phase of construction beginning in the
summer of 1999 completed by September, 2000, which includes completion of new
buildings, as well as sprinklering of existing buildings. Mr. Cummings stated
consideration could be given to sprinklering the existing buildings first if it did not
increase the price, but could not guarantee that the existing buildings could be done
first.

make an attempt to do so.

of the nature of the building.

Spring Valley Apartments and also to the east. He stated that he preferred a concrete
enclosure on the dumpster instead of the proposed wood enclosure.

the fence on the east since a church is treated like a residence, but he agreed it would
`ow be good and the requirement could be made part of the approval.

cooking next to residences.

the other Tongan churches and the customs are different. He stated he is opposed to
those type of activities and his church members are encouraged not to participate in

cooking, Mr. Latu stated that he did not have a problem with a restriction prohibiting
such. He noted his congregation currently meets in conjunction with the First Assembly
of God church on S. Main Street.

being established. He noted that if lighting is shown on the site plan and the site plan
is approved, it would require lighting as proposed.

`""' the church is in the process of purchasing the house on the east and the owner is a
member of his church. He stated they are currently using her water and electricity and

benefit the area. He noted it will cost approximately $500,000 to upgrade the leased

at 2155 West Airport Freeway#100, Lot 4AR1, Westpark Central Addition.

the arcade and signs will be placed to prohibit minors in the bar and arcade area.

border on being a sexually oriented business.

There being no additional proponents or opponents, Mayor Saleh closed the public
hearing at 9:44 p.m.

ITEM NO. 28 PUBLIC HEARING FOR ZONING CASE NO. 98-25-ZC
Mayor Saleh opened the public hearing at 10:05 p.m. regarding the request of the City
of Euless to amend Chapter 84 of the Code of Ordinances for a change in the
maximum height for fences allowed for properties zoned by PD #111.
Director of Planning & Development Bo Bass stated that a fence permit for a taller
fence than allowed was inadvertently approved for one of the corner lots in the planned
development in Bell Ranch Terrace Phase III, which has caused problems with owners
of other corner lots. Staff is recommending that corner lots in this subdivision be
allowed to fence the rear yard all the way to the side property line with a fence up to
eight feet tall. Currently, only a three foot fence in the rear is allowed unless the side
fence is set back fifteen feet from the property line. Mr. Bass noted that the Planning &
Zoning Commission recommended denial.
Mayor Saleh asked for any opponents.
Mr. Kristian Summers, 3327 W. 7th Street, Suite B, Fort Worth, spoke on behalf of Tye
Smith,1401 Signet Drive, Euless, who had a permit for a six foot fence approved. He

of the award by how nervous he was up there. And the other thing on Julia, two comments,
I am very proud of our city staff and council, because we all showed up in support of Julia's
recognition. There was quite a few of us there. I think the neat thing with Julia's award is
that it's a sports hall of fame and we naturally associate, one of the people recognized was
an outstanding athlete. We feel like they are always going to get in there. But the neat
thing, we all have different roles in the world of recreation and sports. Julia got in more for
what she did for other people in terms of promoting sports activity, allowing people to play
and have fun. That is just kind of special that she got elected.
