Chairman Ingram :i.nformed. Mr. Slaughter, that since the public hearing had been
closed on his last appearance and there appeared to be no opponents- -to his
request, the public hearing need not be reopened and he may present any further
information to Co=ission relevant to the request.
Mr. Slaughter stated that. the request was to create a multi-function recrea-
tional area out of a 24 lane bowling r_-.enter. He, also stated that since the
request was tabled last rmaonth, he had a conceptual floor plan drawn to show the
amount: of floor. space designated for each activity. Also, the, bingo floor space.
has been reduced from. 11,130 sq. ft. to 6,000 sq. ft. and that. the dance floor
has been limited to square. dancing. By reducing the bingo floor area, the
parking spaces required had been reduced by 63.
Mr. Slaughter stated that they do not have a .lounge as such but that food. &
beverage would be served from the same area. He pointed out that. there would
not be actual walls around the softball arid shuffle beard areas, but, rather, a
chain link fence with vinyl covering so not to distract the bowler:-. rood and
drink would be allowed in all areas of the facility and the hours of operations
would be less than what then rare now. He also clarified that the. theatres shown
on the. plan were strictly for reference and was not a part of the request.
Mr. Tyson inx:i.rc:d of Mr. Slaughter if bingo is still the primary source of
revenue as stated in Mr. Slaughter's st.atemen.t given -in the meeting of April 21,
1987. -The question of sales tax revenue from, bingo was brought up and que -
t.iond if it were a city sales tax. Another concern of Mr. Tyson's was the mix
of recreational facilities and alcohol. and inquired if it. were necessary tc: have
the sale of alcoholic beverages. Mr. Tyson also inquired if those playing bingo
would consume alcoholic beverages during their time playing and just how long a
session would last. Inquiry was also made as to whether-or-not state :law
dictates how long the segments last depending on haw many sponsors there are,.
In response to questions from Mr. Tyson, Mr, Slaughter stated that bingo would
be the. main source of revenue for the facility; that there is a 21% sales tax
that is collec:ted by the state comptroller's office, but that he was not
familiar with the percentage that went to the City nor the taxing requirements
on bingo; that they had planned on serving drinks to the bingo part.ici.pants; and
with regard to the sale of alcahol within a rec:reaticnaal facility., that revenue
was needed from all possible sources.

Pa a 'three Planninit & Zonink CommilsianMeeting,_May 19 1987
Mr. Slaughter explained that the bingo games would last: for abort 4-1/2 hours, 3
times a week. Each 4-1/2 hour session would be divided into 1-1/2 hour segment:
with each segment being sponsored by a different organization. This would
result in a total of 13-1/2 hours of bingo with 3 organizations sponsoring 4°1/2
hours of bingo a week.
Chairman Ingram inquired. of Mn Slaughter if it would be possible to l.:i.mit
alcoholic beverages to a certain area or, in other words, to restrict drinking
in those areas that would be primarily used by children.
Mr. Slaughter stated that it could be done, but also pointed out that they have
been operating in this manner in the same location for over 16 years and have
had no problem in the past.
Mr. Owens inquired as to whether food & beverage would be sold from different
areas or if there would be a localized area from which waitresses would move
through the facility.
Mr. Slaughter stated that during the bingo games, a waitress would probably
circulate between the tables and, should other areas of the facility become
busy, waitresses would circulate in those areas just as they now do during
league bowling season.
Another question put: to Mr. Slaughter was in reference to who takes account of
the money that is taken during the bingo games. Mr. :Slaughter stated that both
he and the sponsoring organization would be accountable for any monies taken.
Concerning whether-or-not the state will regulate how much goes to the sponsor-
ing organization, Mr. Slaughter staged that all the expenses of his establish-
ment would be taken out of the gross income and then the profit would be divided
between the two. State law regulates the percentage that goes to the sponsoring
organization and that he determines the amount of expenses incurred.
In response to a question; regarding anticipated revenue, Mr. Slaughter stated
that they had no projections at this time,
In response to Mr. Wens inquiry about the disc ,hockey, Mr. Slaughter said that
since the dancing had been limited to square dancing a disc jockey would not be
necessary and the stage area would be used by the square dance caller.
Chairman Ingram stated that since Mr. Slaughter has been a model commercial
resident of Euless for a good many years and that he appeared to have adequat.ls
addressed al..l. the Commission's concerns that he would not have any trouble
recommending approval of this request.
Mr. Tyson stated that he did not agree with Chairman Ingram stating that he felt
the request was a significant change to the use now being conducted at this site
currently and was deeply concerned with the fact that alcoholic beverages will.
be :introduced into an area where people w:i.l.l he playing bingo for up to 4-1/2
hours. Mr. Tyson stated that because of these reasons, he could not support the
request.
