building and the trellis posts. The color and the material of the stone veneer is the one on the
existing convenience store building. As far as the t.se the gas station is located in a shopping
center. The zoning is retail commercial (C1). The proposed carwash service is compatible
with the gas station use and it is proposed to serve the neighborhood

the existing planters at the driveways with ground cover and 15 gallon trees. Install ground
