ITEM 2 CASE 12-08-FP — CONSIDER APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT
Approve a request for a Final Plat changing 1.073 acres from the J.P.
Halford Survey, Abstract No. 711 to the Rose Addition, Block A, Lot 1.
The property is located at 700 N. Industrial Boulevard.
Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. The Planning and
Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat of this property on November 20, 2012.
This plat establishes the lot being developed as a Dairy Queen restaurant. Allowances
for mutual access and emergency access across the front of the property have been
established.
The Development Services Group has certified that the conditions contained within the
final plat application meet the technical standards of the City of Euless.
Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat.
Commissioner Tompkins wanted to determine if staff had heard from the neighbors
behind the site.
Stephen Cook stated that staff had introduced the developer to the neighbors who
made contact. He was happy to report that the developer went above and beyond by
building a masonry fence to accommodate the requests of the neighbors.
Commissioner Portugal asked if the City ever has complaints about the odors that come
to, with a restaurant. Mr. Cook stated that there are provisions in the City Ordinances
about nuisances and offensive odors, but that it is not something that has been
presented to the current staff in regard to restaurants in the City at this time.
Commissioner Huffman made a motion to approve Case #12-08-FP. Commissioner
Tompkins seconded the motion. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Chairman McNeese, Commissioners Huffman, Portugal, Tompkins, and Brown.
Nays: None
Abstention: None
The motion carried: (5-0-0)
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 6:37 p.m.
