The signors state that they “object to the potential increase in litter, noise, loitering, lights and traffic that this facility will generate and also the potential sale of alcohol” in the residential neighborhood. She also stated that hours of operation are much too early and much too late. Leanne Littlefield, 7437A Ahern Court stated she used to work at the Shell Station and that she feels the store would be convenient for people living in the area. Danny Dugan, 7439 Washington stated he did not feel that enforcement of the conditions on the permit would not be sufficient to control the problems created by the use, was opposed to the illumination that the canopy would create, wanted the hours of operation reduced below what was recommended by the Staff Report, was opposed to the design of proposed canopy shown in photographs by the applicant and wants the Plan Commission to turn down the application. Rob Fucetola, 7479 Teasdale stated that he is opposed to the approval of the convenience store altogether. The proposed hours of operation are too late, fears for the safety of his daughter, is opposed to the lighting of the building, the aesthetics of the building are sub-standard and feels that the use does not serve the needs of the community.
