requesting approval of a site plan for a convenience store with gasoline sales on 1.79
acres located at the southwest corner of SH 10 and FM 157 on Lot 1A, Block 1, Clark
McKelvey Addition, and a portion of Tract 4B1B1, A. M. Downen Survey, A-415, zoned
TX-10. The proposed facility will have nine rows of islands containing two fuel pumps
each, as well as a 4,900 sq. ft. convenience store. The proposed hours of operation will
be 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There will be two access points; one from the
east bound lanes of SH10, and the other a joint access drive from FM 157, which will
serve this site and the property to the south when developed in the future. The façade

Development Review Committee recommends approval.
