ITEM 2. APPROVED FINAL PLAT CASE NO. 21-08-SP
Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. This case was presented to the
Planning and Zoning Commission in January, 2022 and received a recommendation for
approval. Since that time, the property owner has asked to reduce the scale of the
development of the fire lane from the project. The fire lane as originally planned was to
be replaced surrounding the northern portion of the lot. The property owner wants to
reserve additional site development on the northern property until an end user is brought
forward. The amount of fire lane now proposed, in combination with the existing fire lane
on the property has been evaluated by the Fire Department of the City of Euless and will
provide adequate coverage of the site during and after construction.
Euless Consolidated Group, LLC is redeveloping their property at the northeast corner of
W. Euless Boulevard and S. Industrial Boulevard. Their intention is to construct a new,
one story, 3,680 SF bank office building with a new, separately located drive through
structure. The existing building will remain while the new one is under construction so that
the bank may operate in place. The property will be replatted into two new lots. The
southern lot will remain the bank, while the northern lot will have future retail. A third lot
of approximately 1.497 acres located at the north end of this redevelopment, and
connecting to the Founders Parc retail will be redeveloped at a future point.
Access to the site will be made through two existing drive approaches. One from W.
Euless Boulevard and one from S. Industrial Boulevard. These will be improved and a
portion will be redeveloped for connecting fire lanes. Additional parking for the bank
building on the southern lot will be completed once the existing building is demolished.
The new bank building is a single -story building at twenty-one (21') feet high. It will be
constructed with brick and split -face cast stone. The primary entrance will be to the north,
but the southern fagade will have extensive windows facing out to the public right-of-way
to make the building pleasing to view from the highways.
Landscaping will be installed within the streetyard of the site. The site is intending to save
a few of the existing oak trees, and will plant new shrub and foundation planting along all
sides of the new structure, with emphasis on the view from the intersection. Existing
sidewalks along W. Euless Boulevard and S. Industrial will be maintained.
The Development Services Group has reviewed the site plan and has certified that it
meets City standards.
There were no questions or comments presented by the Commission.
Vice Chairman Portugal made a motion to approve Case No. 21-08-SP for a Site Plan for
a Commercial Development proposed to be located on 2.0 acres located at First National
