Proposed 7-Eleven expansion in Farmingville draws conditions on cameras, landscaping
Summary
Planning staff described a long‑planned 7‑Eleven project at 711 North Ocean Avenue that would demolish the existing building, add fueling and a new convenience store, and maintain a 100‑foot buffer from the residence to the north; council members asked staff to pursue additional cameras and maintenance covenants.
Planning staff described a pending application to expand operations at 711 North Ocean Avenue in Farmingville, where the applicant would demolish the existing building, install a new fueling canopy and expand the convenience store footprint.
Staff said the applicant will maintain a 100‑foot buffer between the proposed parking lot and the adjacent residence to the north. Council members raised concerns about litter and site maintenance and asked staff to seek covenants that would require additional cameras, a defined maintenance schedule and increased landscaping upkeep.
A council member said preliminary conversations with a 7‑Eleven executive and the company attorney were “very accommodating,” and staff reported the applicant was open to some conditions. Staff agreed to check whether requested conditions — additional cameras and specific maintenance times — could be imposed as part of the site plan or covenant package.
No final approvals were recorded at the work session; the project remains on the public‑hearing list and staff will follow up with the district council member and applicant about the proposed conditions.
