The gasoline customer has become very sophisticated and in addition to a good price and service, has come to expect comfort while making the purchase. This is true whether it is at a convenience store or a full service station. Because of this, our business is becoming functionally obsolete. We do not provide the level of service that customers expect and that our competition offers . In the past, you have granted us variances to install canopies to meet this customer need. The impact has been dramatic . Our level of fuel sales at these locations is three times ( 3X) the sales we sell at this location, i.e. 150,000 gallons per month versus 50,000 gallons per month. Needless to say, this means that we will continue to lose profit opportunities if we do not add a canopy. I understand that the present set-back is to allow for future widening of Route 250 . For the present, our property is in need of improvements . The proposed canopy is to be 36 ' long and 52 ' wide and will be 14 ' 6 " high to allow for maximum visibility through the canopy. It will not interfere with traffic visibility or flow. The canopy will be the current Shell "Silverado" design and colors . It is modern and attractive. It will not be detrimental to the character of this commercial area; in fact it will be a positive move to compliment the other development. A typical convenience store/full service station requires at least 120 ' measuring from the front edge of the canopy to the rear edge of the building. The topography of our property poses two limitations: 1) we only have 130 ' from the front property line to the beginning of the hill at the rear of the property; 2) fueling positions should be level and the most level part of the property is where the existing islands are located. Our problem is unique. The set back was put in after our property was purchased and developed. We don' t have the options a new developer has . . .we can only improve what is already there. Our request is for an approved setback from the right-of-way of 10 ' and is shown as Option A. Option B is similar but has a 15 ' setback. Option C shows a canopy configuration that will fit on the property but is not as good as the others for traffic flow. As you can see, I have a real problem. I believe denial of this request will have both short term and long term impact. In the short term, sales will decrease as customers go to more modern businesses . At the minimum, I have no opportunity for business growth. Denial also has an even more long range financial impact. . .the 150 ' set back has effectively condemned our property without fair or adequate composition. In addition, the investment we have there will become functionally obsolete. In conclusion, I believe the local residents and tourists in the Charlottesville market using the Route 250W have come to expect a higher level of business appearance. Our improvements will deliver that. I I i.
