Mobil Convenience Store

To whom it may concern,
7520 Geyer Springs Road
Little Rock, AR 72209
We are requesting the City Of Little Rock to grant a 5' Variance to an existing 25'
Building Set -Back requirement at our Mobil convenience store located at 7520
Geyer Springs Road. The reason we are asking for the 5'variance is it will allow us
to build an 8' x 21'-l" addition to the front of our existing building. The exterior
look of the addition will match the existing building appearance as close as
possible.
Currently in a separate building, there are two restrooms at the back of our
property. Our employees have a long walk to use the rest rooms and it is not safe
for them. Due to vandalism, these restrooms are destroyed over and over to the
point they are, for the most part, not in working order. We fix the vandalism and a
week later, they destroy them again.
The purpose of this front addition will allow for the following:
1. Provide a new employee rest room . Safety first for our employees.
2. Provide anew 3 compartment sink with two drainboards and anew hand
wash sink in the employee service area. (these two sinks are a requirement
of the Arkansas Department of Health, foodservice division). We currently
have a mop sink in place at the rear of the store in an access area next to
the walk -in -cooler.
3. Allow for some needed storage area.
In addition to the building addition, we will be able to provide 2 new parking
spaces and one new ADA Van Accessible parking space with ADA parking sign
mounted inside a 6" steel concrete filled pipe bollard. New building landscape
and pipe bollards will be installed as shown on our Site Plan.
I look forward to discussing any issues you might have with this variance request.
Sincerely,
Dean Taylor, acting agentforAziz & Sharmin Farishta for this variance request
