Stop the 7-Eleven

Stop 7-Eleven

11/27/2018

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Today we received a letter from Bowman Consulting, the engineering firm that is designing the proposed 7-11 plans on the corner of Livingston Rd and Countyline Rd. We have 15 days from today to voice our concerns to the planning and development department.
The following is a link for the proposed plans…
https://s3.amazonaws.com/SmartsheetB1/0505cd48e5254bb99acae32e532d1b9f?response-content-disposition=inline%3Bfilename%3D%22SITE+PLAN.pdf%22%3Bfilename*%3DUTF-8%27%27SITE%2520PLAN.pdf&Signature=FIiuukW9xaiXoCChvonzIJA8n%2Fw%3D&Expires=1543359879&AWSAccessKeyId=11950YFEZZJFSSKKB3G2
Our concerns are as follows…
1. Page 9 of 18 the drainage and grading plans shows the runoff and drainage goes off the property directly AROUND the retention pond into our lake. (Take note the lake is not on the plan)
2. WHERE is the traffic study?? As we know this intersection is already a headache without a gas station. There is no traffic study attached and there is NO way a car could leave this site going south on Livingston Rd unless it’s 2a.m.
3. There are NO private drinking wells or septic tanks for adjoining properties on the plans, thus water quality and property values are not a concern.
4. Where is the required environmental impact statement that confirms the review of drinking water sources???
5. This proposed gas station will kill this lake and potentially harm Pasco County citizens poisoning their wells.
At what cost do we grow Pasco County???? Let’s Grow but let’s do it responsibly.
The following is a link to the petition we have started.

We are very aware of the timing of this proposal they delivered the letter today as the County Commissioners are meeting today and not again for 2 weeks. The planning committee meets Thursday Nov 29th and again December 13th and THAT’S IT. Please sign the petition ASAP or email your county commissioner ASAP.
