Dear Ms. Sprinkle:
In response to the notice that was sent to our office (see enclosed) regarding the request for a
variance by Tiger Fuels and Texaco, our Company has concerns over this matter.
During the development of our site, we have been required to maintain the approved front yard
set-back, when our site was first developed in the mid-1970's, and secondly, two years ago after
the widening project by VDOT was completed. We feel that the Zoning Department should
remain consistent with similar projects throughout the County.
Several of our other concerns are as follows:
1. Visibility - By allowing a change in the required front yard set-back, the site appearance of
our facility would be affected. When we renovated our facility several years ago, we
designed our new site plan to meet the necessary required set-backs. A change in the set-back
could bring about an economic hardship to our Company.
2. Safety - By allowing a change in the required front yard set-back, the safety of our customers
could be affected upon leaving our facility due to the distance of the proposed Tiger Fuel
pump islands and the road. Our customers sight visibility could be affected by the proposed
changes.
We ask that you take our concerns into consideration during the process of this request.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my office at 800-642-0945.
Best Regards,
A. T. WILLI S OIL COMPANY
Steve Williams
