Euless Boulevard. Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. HEB ISD is requesting a replat of their newly constructed Auxiliary Services Facility. The replat shows abandonment of all previous easements from the shopping center and church uses and new easements as appropriate for the new development. Because the property is not residentially zoned, a replat of the property does not require a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Development Services Group has reviewed the replat of the property and has certified that it meets the standards of the City of Euless. Staff recommends approval of the replat. There were no questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner Zahn made a motion to approve case #14-04-RP. Motion seconded by Commissioner Olmstead.

Main Street. Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. Kroger and the Harwood and Main partnership are requesting a replat of the lots of Harwood Crossing Subdivision in order to realign the internal lot line of the shopping center's primary lots. The realignment will allow the lot line to divide the new Kroger expansion from the remainder of the inline shopping center. All easements have been shown on the replat. Because the property is not residentially zoned, a replat of the property does not require a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Development Services Group has reviewed the replat of the property and has certified that it meets the standards of the City of Euless. Staff recommends approval of the replat. There were no questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner Brown made a motion to approve case #14-05-RP. Motion seconded by Commissioner Ellis.

Kelly Roberts is the owner of Ricochet Fuel Distributors. Her business operation includes fuel distribution and transportation regionally and throughout several states. This development was originally constructed in 2003. In order to accommodate a growing business, the company proposes a new office building to the south of the current existing development. The new office building will be a 7,800 square foot structure. The building will be constructed with split face concrete masonry units with different banded colors around the structure. There are some architectural metal panels introduced in the structure which meets the 75% masonry coverage required by the 1-2 zoning district. The building will install a fire suppression system and additional parking spaces and aisles surrounding the building. No additional driveways will be proposed onto Royal Parkway. The proposed height of the building is twenty-two (22') feet. There is extensive heavy vegetation along the property line on the east of the property. Proposed additional landscaping will be made with xeriscape style plantings of a similar nature as currently exists on the property. The property will also require a replat to encapsulate the additional easement and appropriately record the lot from the original subdivision. The Development Services Group has reviewed the site plan application and has certified that it meets the technical requirements of the City of Euless and recommends approval of the site plan. Commissioner Brown asked if this remodel would allow for additional jobs in Euless. Mrs. Kelly Roberts, 1201 Royal Parkway, Euless, TX 76040, stated that this change would allow their job force to increase by 40 to 45 jobs in Euless over the next couple of years. There were no further questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner Zahn made a motion to approve case #14-15-SP with conditions as written. Motion seconded by Commissioner Portugal.

Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. Flavio Ronzani representing Ronzani Inc. is seeking to expand their office and warehouse building originally approved in March 2008 by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The new addition to the existing 4,000 square foot structure will add 1,960 square feet of indoor storage space. The building will be constructed with the same stone veneer / stucco as was constructed with the original building. A concrete area to the south of the building, which may contain temporary storage will be screened by a masonry screening wall as required in the TX-10 zoning district. The site meets the minimum required parking and landscaping as per City Regulation. The dumpster enclosure will be relocated and appropriate screening will be installed. The Development Services Group has reviewed the site plan application and has certified that it meets the technical requirements of the City of Euless and recommends approval of the site plan. Commissioner Dunckel asked if this addition would take care of any outside storage that has been taking place over the years. Stephen Cook stated that this new building was to resolve the outside storage issue. There were no further questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner Dunckel made a motion to approve case #14-16-SP. Motion seconded by Commissioner Brown.
