The following Unity Township resident(s) oppose the proposed the development of a Speedway Gas Station, Store #100286 on the corner of Route 30, Village Drive and abutting Frye Farm Road as proposed in the preliminary documents submitted to Unity Township Supervisors.
Why is this important?
Speedway is seeking zoning variances on the four (4) acres formerly occupied by the old Mt View Inn property in order to construct a gas station, convenience store with a large portion devoted to fueling large diesel vehicles such as tractor trailers and construction vehicles (see area in red square below). These variances include the permitting of fueling on the property and deviations to the township landscaping ordinances as well as signage. This proposal will significantly increase traffic of large trucks entering and exiting Route 30 and more importantly increase the potential for congestion and accidents in an intersection currently rated a “D” by PennDot. In addition, the proposed Speedway will also contribute to light/air pollution and significantly increase vehicular noise in the community in which we live. As a Unity Township homeowner, I strongly oppose this development as proposed.
