Summary
A developer wants to put a 5,000 sq ft fuel station with five pumps and a drive-thru next to the Big Bear Farms condos and across from two preschools. Dozens of neighbors turned out to oppose it, citing five gas stations already within a half mile, traffic backups, fumes, and lighting. No decision was made — the conditional use vote comes later, and commissioners signaled tough conditions ahead.
