My family is buried next to this proposed gas station. This would be abysmal to anyone who has relatives buried there. Not to mention the traffic already sucks in this area when I go to Kroger to get groceries. Are you trying to drive people away from this area?

My comments and justifications for them are very lengthy and submitted via pdf file. The following is a summary:

-Clarification of encroachment on Concord Masonic Cemetery
-Size of property to be encroached
-Legal source used for the encroachment
-Do not allow encroachment onto Concord Masonic Cemetery property
-Require architectural survey of boundary between proposed development and Concord Masonic to ascertain if unmarked graves are present
-Do not allow loud speaker communications at drive through or walk up window
-Prohibit left turn egress from Second Drive by installing a physical barrier to prevent vehicles from entering in that direction
-Clarify the intention to Widen Second Drive, i.e. development area only or the entirety of Second Drive
-Do not widen Second Drive along Masonic Cemetery Property
-Place a traffic light at Second Drive and Concord Road to allow left hand turns
-Document the height of the building within the site plan
-Determine if a variance would be necessary to allow for canopy of fuel pumps that would increase the size of the building
-Verify signage for Monument Sign that is follows the visibility triangle measurement system
-Verify that the Monument face size does not exceed 5 feet

My prior comments inaccurately used the term architectural survey. I mean to type archeological survey. Thank you for considering my error. Comments have been resubmitted with correction.

For those who are not familiar with the layout of the Old Concord area, the attached map is illustrative of the various routes of traffic from proposed EZ Stop Development through Old Concord if exit onto Second Drive from development is allowed. One can see the effect of increased traffic throughout this residential area.
