Bunker Lane fuel station

A condo resident who says five gas stations would sit within a mile; worried about lighting once winter strips the trees, the winding Sawmill Parkway curve, and fuel tanks near a childcare center across the street.

President of the Big Bear Farms Condo Association, speaking for 88 households; the board opposes the project and asks for strong conditions — especially aggressive screening like the SHEETZ wall — noting rush-hour backups already block their entrance 500 feet away.

Lives directly behind the dumpsters, fuel tanks, and drive-thru; worried her county tax reassessment came days before the project notice, and asks for a bigger setback, evergreens, vapor recovery, and a 20-foot solid wall like SHEETZ built.

Owner of Ivy Brook Academy preschool across the street with hundreds of children under five; says a gas station with traffic, fumes, and fuel tanks is simply not compatible with a school and asks the commission to weigh child safety seriously.

Says the community already has plenty of gas options and that fuel leaks and underground tanks near homes pose long-term soil and groundwater risk; thinks a coffee shop would serve the area better.

Asks the commission to use any authority it has to say no, arguing the developer's motive is money while residents' stake is a safe neighborhood.

A 48-year resident and condo owner who helped win approval for Powell Grand; notes the site is zoned commercial, warns 'be careful what you wish for' since a car wash or worse could go there instead, and suggests better screening for the condos.

Worried turning traffic into the station will back up Sawmill Parkway and push more U-turns into the condo complex, citing crash history at nearby intersections.
