Summary

A nearby property owner, Donald Brolin, told the planning commission he was worried the proposed monument sign and fuel tanks would encroach on visibility and property access and sought information about regulatory setbacks.

Donald Brolin spoke during the public comment period to raise questions about the proposed Family Express development, focusing on fuel‑tank setbacks, sign placement and a driveway entrance that he said the site plan did not show.

Brolin asked the commission: "Is there regulations with the distance of fuel tanks to the property line?" He also said the proposed monument sign could visually obstruct a leased sign he maintains along the highway. Applicant representatives said work along the U.S. Highway requires state approval for signage and that utility and easement matters (including moving above‑ground power lines) are being coordinated with the utility company.

The commission and applicant offered to coordinate on sidewalk connections and survey limits; the transcript does not record a definitive resolution of Brolin’s concerns during the meeting.
