Summary

Luke Family Brands representative Terrence Fife requested renewals for three station exemptions; city staff listed minor repairs (curbing, grass, temporary signage, peeling paint, graffiti) and the board approved the exemptions contingent on repairs and updates within 60 days.

Terrence Fife of Luke Family Brands asked the board to extend annual exemptions for three gas stations (3550 Sheffield Ave.; 850 Indianapolis Blvd.; 10770 Indianapolis Blvd.). He said the company would ensure required paperwork is filed going forward.

City staff described a series of mostly minor site issues: damaged curbs, patchy or dead landscaping, a broken digital sign readout, temporary signs posted without permits, peeling paint on a fuel canopy, graffiti on a transformer box and a partly-broken vacuum station. Staff recommended contingent approvals and asked that Luke provide updates to the city within 60 days and apply for any missing temporary-sign permits.

The board approved the gas-station exemptions contingent on completing the listed repairs and keeping staff informed of progress.
