Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. Mr. Laila Bharwani

of Euless Unified Development Code. No additional public improvements are
anticipated with this development. The property owner intends to close one of the
driveway accesses onto SH 10 closest to the intersection with Raider Drive. Closure of
this driveway is preferable to the City of Euless and TxDOT as it will reduce the number
of vehicular conflicts with traffic on the main lanes of traffic on the highway. Additional
landscaping will be installed around the perimeter of the site. Variances to the zoning
regulations were sought by the applicant to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. These
variances included encroachment of the existing fuel island and fuel island canopy into
the front building line, the total size of the lot and the width of the lot. These variances
were determined by staff not be a self-induced hardship as they were created through
the requirement of the dedication of right-of-way for State Highway 10 and Raider Drive.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment voted 4-0 to approve the three variances for the
property. The ZBA decision will be recorded with Tarrant County and be applied to this
property for this configuration.
Commissioner Zahn asked what will be the brand name for the convenience store.
Stephen Cook stated it would be a Chevron.

Mennis seconded the motion. The vote was as follows:
