Design Review Board approves Circle K site with trail and on-site residence; bollards to match building color
Loading...
Summary
The board approved a Circle K convenience store and associated amenities on a VMU site at SR 393 and U.S. 98, requiring the bollards be painted to match the building rather than red. The applicant will provide a recreational trail, benches and a single‑family residence for security on the property.
A Circle K site plan at the southeast corner of State Road 393 and U.S. 98 (10.07 acres) received approval Oct. 2 after the applicant clarified recreational and residential components required under VMU standards.
Tim Brown summarized that VMU projects over 3 acres must include a recreational component and a residential component; the Circle K submittal includes a trail around the retention pond, benches, picnic tables and a single‑family residence that will house a full‑time security person. Applicant Sandy Owens (MDM Services) described the trail surfacing, bench and picnic locations and said bollards and furniture adjacent to the store will match the building color, with green tables/benches noted along the trail.
Board members discussed access, typical gas‑station trip patterns, and the project’s proximity to a signalized intersection; staff noted the applicant’s proportionate fair‑share payments for nearby turn‑lane work, and that mobility fees and impacts have been affected by recent state legislation. One board member moved to approve the application with the condition that bollards be painted to match the building gray; the motion passed by voice vote.
Next steps: applicant will provide final construction documentation and the county will issue the development order subject to the noted condition.
