Um, we will then move on to the first new business, and this is uh applicant quick trip for approval of a plan development amendment. I believe uh Ms. Duziak may be presenting on that. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Microphone's picking me up. Uh Quick Trip is proposing a planned development amendment to allow construction of a new motor fuel station, convenience store, and car wash on this three and a half acres, consisting of lots one, two, and part of lot three on Hilltop Plaza, 4160, 4168, and 4198 Pilot Knob Road. Uh, this property was initially platted in 1978 and developed under the neighborhood business zoning. Uh, the subject site consists of three parcels. Uh, the fourth parcel in the development is a daycare, uh, and that is not part of the redevelopment site. In 2020, High V proposed to redevelop these three parcels and rezone them to plan development, uh amending the plan development in 2021. Uh, the existing plan development agreement retains the two existing retail buildings, um, eliminated a proposed car wash HIV had intended, and uh would have placed a new convenience store and fuel station on the southwest part of the site. Uh access to the site is currently from Pilot Knob Road at the northwest corner and hill hilltop lane to the east, uh as well as Berry Ridge Road to the north via a frontage road. Uh the site contains a monument sign and a pond and pylon sign and was landscaped with the initial site development. Uh commercial and church uses are located north, south, and west of the site with residential uses to the east across Hilltop Lane. Quick trips proposal combines the three parcels into one and removes the two retail buildings. The new development utilizes the existing access points, adds a turn lane to Pilot Knob Road at the uh northwest corner of the site for that access, and proposes new signs in the same locations as they are currently. The submitted narrative indicates that the store will sell a variety of food and grocery products in addition to motor fuel. An attached car wash is also proposed on the south end of the convenience store building. The proposed uses are consistent with the retail commercial land use designation and are considered conditional uses within the zoning ordinance. The planned development zoning provides flexibility for mutual benefit and serves in lieu of separate conditional use permits. The applicant states the project is a multi-million dollar investment and will bring 25 to 30 new permanent jobs to the community. The proposed deviations with this development include parking style sizes, signage, uh special use setback, and detached trash enclosure. The site plan shows an approximately 9,000 square foot store on the southwest part of the site. A 3,000 square foot car wash is attached to the building at the south end. Movement through the car wash is from east to west with queuing to the north, coming down from the north, then moving east to west, and then back north to exit the site. The motor fuel camopy is located north of the store, uh, and stormwater ponding is on the northeast part of the property.
