DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
JUSTIFICATIONS SHALL BE BASED ON THESE THREE (3) CRITERIA:
• That the strict application of this ordinance would produce undue hardship. As our
fueling situation sits today, we are simply not able to compete with gasoline refueling
locations that have canopies. Every new gasoline station today installs a canopy. These
canopies offer shelter for customers during inclement weather especially the elderly, and
also offer lighting in the evening for safety. On rainy days our gasoline sales drop at least
seventy-five (75%) per cent and if you drive pass our competitors with canopies in place
you can see where our business has gone. We simply need a canopy to stay in business. I
would like to propose this question to you. On any given rainy day, do you purchase your
gasoline at a location with or without a canopy?
• That such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning
district and the same vicinity. We have included pictures of five other convenience
stores in Albemarle County that have similar canopies:
Shadwell Store,rRoute 250 East
Rock Store, Hydraulic Road
Rio Superette, 29 N & Rio Road
Bellair Exxon, 250 West
Stop-In, 250 West
• That the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property and that the character of the district will not be changed by the
granting of the variance. We have included a petition of local residents and customers
that support our variance request. This canopy certainly will do nothing to serve as a
detriment to adjacent property owners in Ivy because all our neighbors are already
commercial business.
• A copy is attached of the proposed canopy we wish to erect, including measurements, over
the fuel pumps at Ivy Exxon.
Thank you for your consideration.
