FOR THE PETITION
Ms. Maritta Oglesby spoke in favor of the petition stating that they
have reviewed the reporting area stats with the East Paris Travel
Center, two convenience stores, and the Exxon station and saw nothing
that would indicate an increase in crime from the development. People
who travel have for years had the reputation of being hard working,
courteous, and helpful and are no more likely to be harmful than any
other person. Ms. Oglesby also stated that after four years of bringing
Plannmg and Zoning Meetmg
AprilS, 2004
Page 2
housing, retail, and travel, the inability to sell her land has begun to
devastate her financially. Ms. Oglesby understands the homeowners
concern but stated they elected to live in a designated enterprise area
along with Kimberly-Clark, TxDOT, Turner Pipe, Campbell Soup, Sara
Lee and the Logistical Company. The planned home development of
Parc Ouest simply has not materialized as the industries have done.
With the widening of all entrance highways into town, lower median
costs, Paris is supremely set for further industry development. It is
recognized from banking people that there is a need in West Paris for
jobs, service, and shopping.
Bloyse Enloe spoke in favor of the petition stating that he bought 10
acres across the Loop and built a home. Mr. Enloe stated that he has
traveled throughout the world and Paris needs the growth. Mr. Enloe
stated that this is a unique opportunity after 50 years to start something
for growth in West Paris to jobs and tax revenue. Mr. Enloe stated that
everybody knows that Loop property is always Commercial even
though there is a little bit of housing there. Mr. Enloe believes that it is
time to do something in West Paris.
Jim Bell, realtor for the property, stated that as a Councilman, he can
not speak for or vote on the matter. According to the Master Plan, this
area is designated as planned development in the city. Mr. Bell
encouraged Ms. Gates to make a second request for the zoning change.
The first request would have allowed Ms. Gates to put in basically
anything but on the second request, Ms. Gates would have to go back
and do the things that are depicted or what is requested tonight on this
model or what ever is there for the safety of the people in the area. He
felt that as depicted fencing, lighting and these things and Planned
Development is your opportunity to approve it and say yes, but we want
some input on how it is developed and where it is put. He felt that is a
most important issue. It is the major difference between the first
request and the second request. Councilman Bell went back to what
Mr. Enloe said "the Loop is designed for Commercial" the Master Plan
Planning and Zoning Meeting
April5,2004
Page 3
calls for this. He said that at some point West Paris has got to have
some businesses and jobs in that area. This area has not attracted retail
development for that reason, retail wants to be where retail is. It will
help assist the development of the West Paris area. Mr. Bell highly
encourage the Commission to consider a favorable vote for the zoning
being requested which is Planned Developed which does allow and ask
for Ms. Gates to come back and show what she is planning to do there
and the Commission must approve it, if the fencing and lighting does
not meet the requirements, at that time the Commission can require
that those things be put in. Mr. Bell feels that this a wonderful
opportunity for West Paris.
Cindy Gates, CR 33500, House 30, Sumner, Texas, spoke in favor of the
petition stating that she has lived in Paris all of her life. Her mom has
worked at Kimberly-Clark for 15 years and her dad served in Vietnam
and died as a result of service related agent orange. Her family has
always supported Paris even though they don't live in Paris. The truck
stop would be bringing in a little over $40,000 a year in taxes opposed
to $300 a year that it is bringing right now. All she is asking is for a
chance to make a living for her family. Ms. Gates does not want
anything that is going to cause damage, she wants to run a respectful
business. There is a prejudice against the way people see truck stops
and there are places that have that kind of reputation and have those
problems but it is due to bad management, people that do not care--I
care about my reputation. Ms. Gates wants to be an asset to the
community and wants to help Paris grow. Ms. Gates feels that the truck
stop will help to bring four lanes into Paris. Trucks are important to
industries here in town. Paris is and industrial town and there is no
facility to take care of truck drivers. They need a facility here in town
where they will not be run off because they are on private property
trying to sleep. They need a place to go and relax for a little while.
Truck driving is a very hard profession and a very dangerous one.
Truck drivers are people just like the rest of us. Over the years, Ms.
Gates have lost friends from wrecks. She is willing to do whatever is
needed to make it where people in the area will be more comfortable.
Ms. Gates do not mind bringing in a plan before the Commission for
them to decide whether or not it will be beneficial or not.
Planning and Zoning Meeting

A proposal was made available for those present to view.
AGAINST THE PETITION
Linda Butcher, 3810 Sage Trail, stated that her house would be facing
the proposed business. Noise is a concern. Works rotating shifts at
Kimberly-Clark. Nothing personal but this will bring additional truck
traffic right beside her house. Concerned about trucks air horns. Ms.
Butcher worked previously for Jelly Skidmore Trucking-knows for a
fact, from talking with truck drivers that problems do go
on-prostitution, drugs, and many times heard them talk about being
harassed by this element. She is sure Ms. Gates is concerned about that
and wants to keep it out but that is a very difficult thing to keep from
happening at a truck stop. You can not be there 24 hours of the day.
Does not want home value to go down.
Stan Thurman, 3945 Sage Trail, lives on the south side of the street.
Having been a driver himself, stated that there is a two lane stretch and
if there is 60 m.p.h. traffic running at a pretty good gait and you try to
pull out an 80,000 lb. truck-80,000 lbs. do not snap and go, it is a slow
roll so basically traffic is impeded until you slow roll and go. From a
stopped position slow roll with 80,000 lbs.-if there were four lanes, it
would be a safety factor but as it is right there, it is kind of dangerous.
With four lanes and a service road, it would be okay for trucks to come
out there.
Delora Redus, 320 34th S.W., lives East of Parc Ouest. Ms. Redus was
present at meetings when Parc Ouest wanted to put in double wide
mobile homes and also the meeting for a strip mall and double wide
mobile homes. Ms. Redus has lived in West Paris for 54 years and when
she moved there there was no enterprise zone. They have not been
against anything in West Paris that is decent-did not say anything
about the bank coming in, the Dollar Store or True Value but if it is
something undesirable they would just as soon it did not come in. It will
not help them, it will lower property values, cause more crime-as far as
Planning and Zoning Meeting
April 5,2004
Page 5
the trucks, Ms. Redus stated that she hears trucks pulling out of the
Exxon station and they do not sell diesel there. They stop at the
restaurant but she can hear all the noise. Ms. Redus stated that she can
not imagine what it will be like if there are more trucks plus the fact
that the would be running their engines, the pollution from the diesel
from it and everything else that might go with it. Not opposed to
anything that is decent to go in there. As far as the revenue from taxes
on this, ifthis goes in it is a possibility that Parc Ouest can not sell any
more property because it is so close. Most of the back yards will be
right up against the back of the truck stop. In her opinion, you could
get more taxes off of the houses there than what this one particular
business would bring in. Also, she thinks the gentleman that was
promoting the truck stop a while ago does not live there and he will not
have to listen to or put up with it. They are the ones that will have to
deal with it later and they are just trying to protect themselves and their
property values right now.
Melissa Huey, 107 Parc Ouest, feels for her personal safety and the
surrounding neighborhood. She is a single parent with a 5 year old
child. She does not want to go to bed at night and worry about
something happening or someone wandering up at her house-a robber
or whatever. It is a bad feeling living in fear. Ms. Huey is very happy
with the way things are and is not against anything that would be good
for West Paris, something that would not devalue her home. She has
worked hard for her home and does not want to lose that to something
that could devalue her property. No one should not have to go through
that. Most people in the area have lived in their home for years. When
she bought there was restrictions to where she lives. She bought in good
faith that it would be a safe place for her son to grow up, he is her whole
life and she does not want to live in fear. Ms. Huey stated that Ms.
Gates had interesting things to say about security guards and all that,
that is good but that just tells that there is a threat there and that can
not be guaranteed, you cannot control that, too many factors, too many

variables. Stated that Parc Ouest has finally started to grow and does
not want to see the growth stifled.
Debbie Burkes, 3935 Sage Trail, main concern is safety and she would
not feel safe there. A truck stop is not compatible with the
neighborhood. She keeps hearing that businesses are needed in West
Paris. We need good neighborhoods, what is a city without
neighborhoods, is it just about business and no people. We should have
good places for good homes inside Paris. She has worked hard for
many years and does not want her property values to go down. Ms.
Burkes feels that a truck stop will not help the area but will hurt it. If
they want the truck stop, fine, just don't build it by our neighborhoods,
please protect our homes. This country is about people, without people
the rest does not matter. The homes, the families, if we don't have that,
Paris will not be the Best Small Town in Texas.
Pat Early, 4035 Old Bonham Road, states that her American Dream
was to build her home in a quiet neighborhood and she did that in July
of 1968. Since that time TxDOT, Kimberly-Clark, Florida Power, have
been built, but they are no problem. The only problem with these
businesses was increased traffic. Ms. Early stated that when they go
down their road this is what they will see and hear at night. Ms. Early
is against the noise, pollution, increased traffic. If you are coming
South on the Loop you are coming over an overpass and it does not give
you very much time to go across the road if there is a big truck coming
out.
Lisa Roberts, 3825 Sage Trail, states that her home is within 200 feet of
the proposed truck stop site. She has 2 small children that she does not
want living within 200 feet of a business that is open 24 hours a day.
Her father is a truck driver as has been for over 30 years, no one needs
to tell her that truck drivers are good people, she knows that better than
most. Her concern is that truck stops typically brings in an element of
Planning and Zoning Meeting
April 5, 2004
Page 7
people who prey on the truck drivers. They are easy targets because
they are not here, they are not staying here. These people will have a
business that is available to them, these are the people that she does not
want within 200 feet of her children. Ms. Roberts went to the truck
stop on 271 last week and there is garbage, old tires, old pallets-this is
what happens when you have a truck stop because you can't clean that
up constantly. It might be a good business but it is bad for our families.
Also, concern about the traffic, noise, the pollution, and the homes were
there first. If it was meant for industry, then perhaps that decision
should have been made years ago.
Janet Ammons, 3920 Sage Trail, stated that she used to live on 19th NW
and she moved from there because of the traffic. She chose her house
on Sage Trail Drive because of the neighborhood, the type of
neighborhood it is, family oriented. They have a lot of children in the
neighborhood that can ride their bicycles up and down the street but if
the trucks start cutting through there they won't be able to let the
children ride their bicycles in the streets. There are a lot of elderly
people in the neighborhood and some of them are single, widowed. It
is a fear factor for them. Ms. Ammons is a single grandmother, raising
a grandchild by herself. Ms. Ammons would not feel safe in her home
with those elements around and she thinks that the neighborhood is
family oriented and they don't need a truck stop there bringing in all
kinds of riffraft. There are a lot of small children in the neighborhood
and when they reach their teens years and if they are under some kind
of influence of something going on over, it is not the ideal neighborhood
that we have.
Evelyn Matthews, 1035 41't SW, bought their home 7 years ago when
they moved off a farm into town. They chose this location because of
the neighborhood, it's quiet and not jammed up. Ms. Matthew lives on
the corner of 41't SW and Old Bonham Road and she goes down Old
Bonham Road when she pulls out of her drive to get on the Loop. When
Planning and Zoning Meeting
April5,2004
Page 8
that happens it is going to be so much traffic and she is getting old and
it is harder for her to see and do like the young people. Ms. Matthews
feels that it is not a place for a truck stop and it will lower property. It
will be all of those things that have been brought up.
Reeves Hayter pointed out that a petition in opposition was presented
to the City with 97 signatures. A number of those are people affected
