<br />AU~ 10 2001 1:10PM <br /> <br />TEXASTRUCKSALES <br />e <br /> <br />71.675 3600 <br /> <br />p.3 <br /> <br />Wberever ~e look 8I'Gund we see tankers, coatainen and trucks rather thaD a park or <br />reerutiollal lacility. 11aerefol'e, .we are requating tbe dCy of La porte Council to couider <br />probibitiD& these IdDdl of operations. <br /> <br />Mr. Momin raises several questions in this jssue that needs addressing separately. Firstly, <br />this is not Dear park, but the City of La porte. Dw Puk should not be able to dictate policy in <br />the City of La Porte. Especially, in this particular area since it is ~ne for business. <br /> <br />Scccndly, banning truok stopS benefits only those who do not want competition. Clearly, <br />Mr. Momin is afraid of competitiOn. He is seekins to have the only fueling station for the) ,000 <br />plus trucks Lbat pass his facility every hour. His positiOD benefits him alone. His position does <br />nothing to reduce unemployment in the area nor inc;rea5el taxes or revenue for the city IS our <br />business certainly will benefit the area and the city. <br /> <br />Thirdly, his positicn on moR: parks and recreational facUity VI. tRaoks, containers and <br />fueling facilities fails to address the area. It is a shipping and truck depot. It is design for that <br />purpose. Therefore, our business fa11s within the stated purpose. Our business will be bene.fioial <br />f'or the local residents aa well as commerciallandowaetS. Because we will provide food <br />(restaUrant and small srocery store). hotel. car and truck wash. truck repair and jobs, we intend to <br />hire at least twenty people or more from the city cf"La. Porte. <br /> <br />Fourthly, Mr. Momin's feu of drugs and prostitution 8$ a commonality at fueUng stalions <br />fails. Because be is the owner and operator ofthe same or similar type offacllity, we il\tend to <br />buUd. Maybe, be has drugs and prostitution at his faoility. The seU ofiUegal drugs is everyone's <br />conoern including oun. That is why we intend to have a peace officer at our facility to prevent <br />the sell of illegal drugs, prostitution and other crimes. And, our facility wiD not sell alcohol that <br />includes beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages. <br /> <br />b~ue m. <br /> <br />We believe these rcstrictlollS will (a) eabD dowalhe opposition ~Dd outrage or citizen <br />for the Bayport TermiDII lroject and (b) eab..ce opportuDities for other developlDeIlt to <br />take place that will beautify tbe city'. highway and .aill thoroughfares. <br /> <br />ASain, Mr. Momin addresses the beautification of Baroours. But his enure underline <br />position is he's afi'aid of competition. Our facility will be a bemtiful facility for that community <br />anel it win be good for business. Our facility will enhance that area not destroy it. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Ameen Narsi, President <br />Narsi, 100. <br />
