Subject: Maverik store
To whom it may concern:
This message concerns a proposed convenience store and fuel retailer
(Maverik) at the corner of Locust Grove and McMillan. I am unable to attend the hearing.
Please convey to appropriate individuals my concern that this type of convenience store
seems contrary to the character of the neighborhood that I envisioned when we purchased a
home in the Vienna Woods sub-division. It is contrary to what I envisioned for the
following reasons: 1) increase in 24 hour vehicular traffic; 2) robbery potential in this
type of store; 3) potential for out-of-control behaviors due to ease of liquor purchases;
and
4) entre' to other stoxes that tend to decrease rather than irncrease
property values in the area. I would rather see specialty stores and
businesses with unique store front architecture (e.g., Heritage Commons) that will draw
mid-to upper-scale patronage during normal business hours.
There are already 3 gas stations within 1 to 3 miles, so another is not needed.
