Please exercise caution and Do Not open attachments or click links from unknown senders or unexpected email. **** Hello, Joe, My name is Bev Glenn and I have been living in the Village of West Clay since 2007. I have lived in 2 houses here, and my most recent move is within 1000 feet of the proposed gas station. I'm writing in opposition to the proposed variances requested by Brenwick on behalf of Family Express Corp. The variances specifically supporting the stacking of cars are of great concern as the land and Harleston Street does not provide enough room for cars coming into the gas station to fuel. As a result, this will back up onto Towne Rd. and create a major safety concern and increase in traffic and with the number of children and families that walk, bike, and run in the area or visit the nearby neighborhood amenities, it will no longer be safe. Second, the variance requesting to move the gas pumps from behind the building to the front, which would move the build-to-line of the convenience store, further pushes it back to the cottages of Stratford, imposing further health risk to the residents who live there in exposure to the vents that release benzene and methane vapors and is not compliant with the architectural guidelines of the Village of West Clay. Lastly, I’m concerned for the residents of the Stratford Cottages. I checked into this facility for my mother and because of the fumes, lights on until 2:00 am, trash bins near the property, increased traffic , I have changed my search. In addition,I have been fighting cancer myself and am really upset about the environmental implications of being close to the carcinogenic fumes. The traffic will increase and I’m worried about the bicyclist and walkers that frequent Town Road. This is not what we want for myself, friends and relatives that live in the Village. Please do not let this pass! Thank you for your time and consideration of our concerns, BeverlyGlenn 13010 Treaty Line Street Carmel, In. 46032 Sent from my iPad 1
