Downing Survey, Abstract 415, TX-10 (Texas Highway Ten Multi-Use District)
zoning, located at 1400 West Euless Boulevard.
Director of Planning & Development Bo Bass stated that the applicant is
requesting a revision to the specific use permit approved on February 8, 2000, by
Ordinance No. 1402. He stated that the church had miscalculated the amount of
funds needed for repaving the parking lot in concrete, and the applicant now
requests that the third condition of the specific use permit requiring that "parking
and fire lanes meet all requirements before issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy" be changed to read "A 3-inch asphalt overlay shall be placed over all
areas designated as fire lanes. In addition, it is recommended that the overlay
be placed on the parking in the center of the fire lane loop so that water will not
collect in the parking spaces." He stated that the Development Review
Committee recommended approval of the request.
Mr. Bass further noted that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended
approval with the wording "A 3-inch asphalt overlay be placed over the entire
eastern rectangular parking area including those areas designated as fire lanes
•••- before issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy" with the intent that the parking
area and fire lanes would be brought up to code with concrete.
Kiepal Singh Bhogal, 137 Willow Ridge Road, Fort Worth, Texas, 76103, and
Haeminder Singh Jassal, 1508 Oxford Drive, Mansfield, Texas, 76063, spoke in
favor of the request as representatives of the temple, stating that due to a
mistake in calculations of the cost of concrete, they are requesting to overlay the
entire parking area with 3" of asphalt.
There being no additional proponents or opponents, the public hearing was
closed at 8:07 p.m.
Several council members stated they understood the parking area and fire lanes
would be concrete within three years.
It was noted that Mr. Bhogal had not understood that the parking lot would have
to be concrete within three years.
After continued discussion, Mr. Bhogal agreed to commit to paving the parking
area with four inches of concrete and the fire lanes with six inches of concrete
within three years of receiving the Certificate of Occupancy.

required to allow dry cleaning on-site. He noted that one of the lease spaces in
the strip center is currently zoned C-2 and the remaining portion is zoned C-1.
He stated that there are offices zoned C-1 and vacant land that would be
extremely difficult to develop between the strip center and the single family
residences, thereby, providing a buffer.

spoke in favor of the request.

public hearing at 7:32 p.m.
In response to questions by the council, Mr. Bass stated that there is not a real
danger from the chemicals because the dry cleaning process is a closed system
with internal infiltration. He noted that this operation is similar to the one recently
approved on North Main Street. He also stated that there would be adequate

a life safety issue, the city cannot require the parking lot be repaved with
concrete; however, he would talk to the property owner about repaving the
parking lot.

Madam Mayor, Fellow Council Members and audience, I have a
statement prepared which I would like to read. Reports have come
to me that I am a disappointment to some people present tonight in
regards to my service as a city council member representing the
citizens of Euless. I really don't mind anyone expressing their
opinion as to my record of service but I do think it important that
certain facts of that record be made known. Susan Crim, City
Secretary, has provided a record of the date of each city council
function for the years 1999 and 2000 and those in attendance at
each. I would like this record (attached as Exhibit A) to be made
part of the minutes of this meeting along with a transcript of my
remarks.
Of eighteen (18) regular city council meetings from May 11, 1999,
the date of my being sworn in as a city council member, I have
`�— attended all.
Of seven (7) special city council meetings, I have attended all but
one. That one meeting was for the purpose of canvassing the
election results of the November 8, 1999 election and was attended
by only two city council members.
Of two (2) City Council Work Sessions during my tenure on this
council, I have attended both.
Of four (4) Town Hall meetings, I have attended all.
These items represent the extent of the record provided by Ms.
Crim.
In addition, I have represented the City of Euless at meetings of the
Euless Crime Control and Prevention District, The Trinity River
Authority, The North Central Texas Council of Governments, The
Hurst Euless Bedford Chamber of Commerce, The North East
Tarrant Board of Realtors, and various ribbon cuttings celebrating
new businesses opening in Euless. I have supported the Euless
Library Foundation, Arbor Daze, the Euless Police Association and
the Euless Firefighters Association. This support has included my
wife, Diane, and myself, but also includes contributions made by
Western American National Bank where I serve as president. I

City Council Meeting Page 14 of 22 March 28,2000
have asked to be included on the Euless Economic Development
Advisory Committee and have attended each of the meetings of
this group. I have also attended meetings of the Texas Municipal
League and the Mayor's Council of Tarrant County.
Not only have I represented the City of Euless, I have also been
actively involved in my neighborhood by serving as a director of the
Arbor Glen Owners Association.
Please don't view my comments as saying that I am better than any
other elected official of Euless. I have respect for each as a worthy
representative of we who elected them. My time has become quite
precious to me, but my objective is to be of service to the citizens of
Euless, those who elected me to this Council. I was not elected to
pour oil on the waters of local government, but rather to be as
effective as possible in considering what is best for Euless and its
citizens. I continue my pledge to do my best to get that job done.
Council Member Edwards stated that CWD made a great presentation and she
hopes there will be a compost program in Euless. She stated she went to the car
rental facility's grand opening and the facility is very impressive.
Mayor Saleh stated the car rental facility is super. She stated she made a
presentation to the HEB ISD regarding Arbor Daze. She congratulated Bob
McFarland on being a new grandfather. She introduced council candidate Carroll
Scott and congratulated Council Member Glenn Porterfield on not having an
opponent in the upcoming election. Mayor Saleh stated she attended the Tarrant
County CDBG ranking meeting and that Euless will be receiving $117,000 in
grant money. She noted that Library Manager JoAnn Rogers and the library
hosted a sleepover for middle school students last Friday night, and that there
are a lot of new and exciting activities taking place at the library.
