STAFF REPORT
G. L. Sitton on behalf of Choice Petroleum has applied for a variance to the minimum
side yard building setback from 5’ to 0’. The property is located at 2890 Dowlen Road.
Mr. Sitton states he would like to pave the grassed area and place storage containers
between the existing car wash and brick fence. According to Mr. Sitton, placing the
containers anywhere else on the property would impede traffic or eliminate necessary
parking. The additional storage is necessary for the growth of his business.

necessary for approval have been met.
