Food truck park

Countryside Drive resident cited a sick granddaughter, neighbors with cancer, recent loud parties at the gas station, and backed-up traffic making left turns onto Fulkerth.

Nearby resident said 12 trucks is too many for the small parcel, the one-way-in/out access will cause a traffic mess, and signs won't stop smoking or noise.

Asked whether each of the 12 trucks needs its own city business license and permit.

Asked whether alcohol would be permitted on site and raised concerns about the landlocked southern parcel and U-turn traffic on Countryside.

Countryside resident pointed to recent loud parties and police calls at the gas station lot and worried food trucks would bring more noise, drinking and traffic.

Owner of Countryside Plaza across the street argued the required municipal code findings can't be made on parking, traffic and neighborhood impacts, and urged upholding the denial.

Said he tried to buy the parcel for a Starbucks and a car wash and was blocked by drive-through setbacks; urged approval so the owner can finally sell the roughly $1 million lot.
