I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed Thrifty Super
Stop Site Plan and Special Use Permit, Application #22039. Most
obviously, with four gas stations less than 2 miles from this proposed
project—and one only a mile away—it is completely unnecessary.
Secondly, I do not believe that North Davis with one lane in each direction
is capable of handling the increased traffic that this project will bring.
Nineteenth Avenue with multiple traffic lanes in each direction is the place
for a project such as this one.
Finally, and most importantly, this is a residential neighborhood. We
homeowners purchased homes in this area with the expectation that it
would stay that way. Instead, you are now proposing that residents will
have bright lights shining into their homes twenty-four hours a day and
markedly increased noise levels. Both of these factors have been shown
to be detrimental to long term health by decreasing the quality of sleep
and increasing stress hormone levels. Additionally, poor sleep and
increased stress lead to poorer academic performance for children and
poorer work performance in adults.
In conclusion, in light of the many gas stations/convenience stores in the
immediate area, the proposed Thrifty Super Stop does not address any
unmet needs. It does, however, decrease the quality of life for the
residents in this area. I strongly urge you to deny Application #22039.
Thank you,
