It has always been my understanding in the city of Keller, the council has always been very picky on what types of businesses and where certain services would be located. I also had the understanding when looking at the city plan that the land located east on 377 from 170 to 1709 was slated for upscale shopping. It has come to our neighborhoods understanding that a gas station is now being proposed at the entrance of our neighborhood. I believe that a gas station would be detrimental to our area, and negatively affect our safety, property values, and increase traffic problems. Also, this is not what most of us were told when we were buying lots/homes in Marshall Ridge and Marshall Point. As a citizen I strongly appose the approval of this request and would like that noted.

From: Randi Ehm Date: September 11, 2013, 9:21:09 PM CDTTo: MayorandCouncil Subject: Valero Gas station on 377 and Ridge point

Dear Honorable Mayor McGrail and council members of the City of Keller,

We are writing this email as concerned citizens of Keller. On Sept 17you will decide if a Valero gas station shall be approved to be built at the Corner of 377 andRidgepoint. As Keller resident's and home owners in Marshall Point we feel toapprove this will be a mistake!

When buying our home 5 years ago, part of the reason we chose Kellerand this area was due to the great schools andthe vision that was drafted for an upscale retail shopping area to be builtat the entrance of our neighborhood. It was our understanding that the area North of Marshallridge was going to be the new gateway into Keller and the vision was to be an invitingentrance into our fine city. We were so happy that this land was not going to be used for a typical Texas stripmall.

We feel that allowing a Valero gas station to be one of the first thingsbuilt in this area, will be detrimental to the attraction of higher quality, less intense retail and office commercialuse. This will also cause a traffic nightmareconsidering the addition of Milestone church being built on the oppositeside of Ridgepoint. We are also concerned withthe future value of our homes being effected. Will this set a precedenceof future businesses to be builtin this area?

We also do not understand WHY we need another gas station, we have13 gas stations within a 3 mile radius. A LARGE QT is just one mile downthe road. Do we really need another LARGE gas station at the entranceto our neighborhood.

mailto:/O=CITY OF KELLER/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=SPOLASEKmailto:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected] Box

We are also concerned that this is a SUPP request and Valero has comewith so many variations. Having seen Valero gas stations and the up keep of their properties we do not think this is agood fit for this location and for the highstandards that I know Keller requires.

We are asking you to please think seriously when making thisdecision, and ask yourself if this type of business you envisionbeing the Face of Keller" as people enter the city along thismajor north/south corridor?We urge the City of Keller to not approve the pending request for aSUP to allow the construction of this Valero branded mini travel centerby CST Brands within the Marshall Ridge sub district of the Hwy 377North Overlay District.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

Sincerely,

Dear Mayor McGrail and Council Members of the City of Keller, We are writing to express our objection to building a gas station at the entrance to our neighborhoods (Marshall Ridge and Marshall Pointe, Hwy. 377 and Ridge Point Parkway). We believe that a gas station would be detrimental to our area, negatively affect our safety and property values, and increase traffic problems. In addition, with the Shell and Chevron gas stations just 3 miles south of the neighborhoods at the corner of 377 and Denton Hwy/North Main St, and a Quik Trip just two miles north of the neighborhoods on the northwest corner of 377 and Alliance Gateway Fwy (170), it is obvious that the area does NOT need another gas station. Finally, if the proposal includes a car wash, please note that the aforementioned Chevron station already has one, and that there is a coin-operated car wash with multiple bays two miles south of the neighborhoods on Denton Hwy/N Main St, just north of the Keller Appliance Store. Marshall Ridge was voted the best new neighborhood in the DFW Metroplex, and we are extremely proud of the message that sends to prospective home buyers in our ever-growing communities. Please do not ruin our neighborhoods by approving the permit request for a gas station at the corner of Ridge Point Pkwy and Hwy 377. Respectfully, Brian and Barbara Thomson 1805 Everest Rd.

To whom it may concern;

We are writing to express our objection to the building of a conveniencestore/gas station/car wash near our neighborhood Marshall Ridge. Theproposed area is located at one of our entrances to our neighborhood offof highway 377. It was my understanding when we purchased ourhome that this area was slated for upscale shopping.

We strongly oppose the building of a gas station at this location. Itwould bring our home values down and personally be an eye sore to ourwonderful neighborhood.

Please consider all of the already existing gas/convenience stores locatedin close proximity to this location, there are several within 3-4 miles ...isreally a convenience to have another one?

Also consider our water restrictions....do we really need another carwash?

Thank you for consideration in this matter;

I am writing to voice my concern of the proposal for a gas station to bebuilt in front of the Marshall Ridge development off of Highway 377 inKeller.

We built our home here 4 years ago with the understanding that upscaleresale shops were eventually going to be built near both entrances to thedevelopment. Learning about a gas station/Subway shop going in is veryupsetting. It will not only bring our property value down, but increaseour safety concerns. Plus the fact that it will be an eye sore!

With a gas station just up the road at the intersection of 377 and 170,why would you put another one so close? It makes no sense!

I am totally against this proposal!

To Planning and Zoning Commissioners,

I am writing to express my objection of the gas station that is proposed at the entrance ofmy neighborhood, Marshall Ridge at 377 and Ridge Point Parkway.

I have lived in Keller my whole life and am a 1998 graduate of Keller High School. I wasexcited about the development of Marshall Ridge and was one of the first homes built inthis neighborhood. To my understanding, the proposed area of the gas station was to beupscale shopping. I am asking you to be particular on what goes into that area. It is thefirst thing home owners see when they enter the neighborhood, which could impact buyersand sellers. The values of our homes would decrease, the safety of the neighborhood wouldbe affected and more traffic would be created. This area is also the first thing peopleentering Keller from the North see. A gas station would negatively affect our citiespresence.

I have also notified the City Council about my concerns. Please consider my thoughts at theMonday meeting.

Thank you for your time,Erin Stopper-Obrzut

Zone the land for something far more valuable than a potential andprobable negative attraction to our neighborhoods.

We are 100% against having the gas station and subway shop built atthe zoned location or any location near our homes and schools and parks.

From: Marti Shavor Date: August 24, 2013, 9:24:37 PM CDTTo: MayorandCouncil Subject: Proposed Fuel Station at 377 and Ridge Point Pkwy

Dear Mayor and Council Members,

I am writing to express my extreme displeasure that the city of Keller isconsidering allowing the installation of a fuel station at the intersection of377 and Ridge Point Pkwy. As a resident in the Marshall Ridgedevelopment, I feel this would be a detrimental addition to ourcommunity for many reasons.

One of Meritage's selling points of buying in Marshall Ridge was that ourarea had been slated for very little commercial development. Additionally,we were assured that any commercial businesses in our neighborhoodwould be upscale and/or specialty in nature. We chose Marshall Ridge inKeller over Briarwyck in Roanoke for exactly this reason. We were told byBriarwyck sales associates that a Super Target was being considered atthe entrance of that subdivision. You can be sure that given the choice ofbuying near a Super Target or a glorified gas station, we would havechosen Briarwyck. There is no doubt this type of commercial business inour neighborhood will compromise the value of all Marshall Ridge homes.

My next concern is the increase in traffic. We already contend with alarge amount of "cut through" traffic. This extra traffic not onlyinconveniences residents at key times in the morning and evening, but itis also a safety issue for children attending Ridgeview Elementary. This isa very family oriented community. A great percentage of Marshall Ridgeresidents have children who attend Ridgeview. As it is, we contend withsafety hazards created in large part by the unnecessary volume ofvehicles that pass by our local school. If the city of Keller allows this fuelstation to be built here, it will only increase traffic and create more safetyconcerns for our children.

For these and so many other reasons, I am greatly opposed to thisproposal. I do not feel the addition of a fuel station in our neighborhoodwould benefit the residents of Marshall Ridge nor the city of Keller andit's original vision for this area.

Dear Mayor and Council,

I am a resident of the Marshall Ridge neighborhood on 377 and amconcerned to hear of a proposal to build a gas station in the front of ourneighborhood.

When we purchased our house, we were told that the city of Keller wascarefully considering what businesses to place in the front of ourneighborhood and that the city would put in high-end retail. While itwas not specified what those businesses would be, I don't think anyonewould consider a gas station to be 'high-end retail'.

We are currently in our option period to buy a larger house in our sameneighborhood, and this proposal has given us pause as to whether weshould purchase another home in this neighborhood at all.

I beseech you to please consider the property values of the tax payers inthis neighborhood and say no to this gas station.

Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,

Marj Ochs, OwnerThe Swanky Stitcherywww.theswankystitchery.com

To Whom It May Concern:

I am unable to find the email addresses of the zoning commissioners, but would liketo notify them of my opposition to a gas station that is being proposed for thecommercial land near my neighborhood. Please refer to the content below in anemail I have sent to each the Mayor and each member of the city council.

Dear Mayor and City Council Members:

First of all, thank you for your tireless efforts to make Keller a wonderful, family-oriented community. When we moved here almost 4 years ago, we did extensive research to select a community that wouldprovide the atmosphere conducive to growing families. Though empty-nesters ourselves, we valuefamily and those businesses that are going to support family safety, health, recreation, learning, etc.

I am writing to express my objection to building a gas station at the entrance to ourMarshall Ridge neighborhood (Marshall Ridge and Marshal Point, Hwy. 377 and Ridge PointParkway). When we built here, we understood that the commercial land use would berestricted to more upscale retail businesses, not gas stations and fast food restaurants. With a QT less than a mile one way and a Valero, RaceTrak and Conoco gas stations alsowithin a few miles via Borland to Keller Parkway (1709), I see no reason to add yetanother gas station at this location.

I had the understanding when looking at the city plan that the land located east on 377from 170 to 1709 was slated for upscale shopping. But now it has come to my attentionthat a gas station is being proposed at the entrance of our neighborhood. Howdisappointing...

I believe that a gas station would be detrimental to my neighborhood and negatively affectthe safety of our residents as well as decrease the property values while increasing trafficproblems.


Thank you again for your service.

Pat,

Thanks for your email about the proposed gas station near Marshall Ridge. Iappreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts. I will be sure to take theminto consideration when this matter comes before the council next month.

Before then, however, the proposal will first be considered by the Planning andZoning Commission on Monday night. I encourage youto write the commissioners and/or attend their meeting to make sure they're awareof your views as well.

If you have any questions along the way or if there's ever anything else I can do foryou, please don't hesitate to let me know. Best wishes.

I'm writing to express my opposition to the specific use permit beingconsidered at the upcoming public hearing meeting.

A new Corner Store gas station at the entrance of MarshallRidge/Marshall Point provides nothing for our community. We alreadyhave several options for gas nearby. When I moved to this communitywe had the understanding that the area would eventually be "upscalecommercial". This is not what we envisioned. I don't plan on using thegas station and it doesn't sound like either community is in favor of thisbusiness. Instead I hope the area attracts various local businesses that Iwould be happy to support such as a small cafe, coffee shop, cleanersetc... I would love to be able to have family walks to the area, but not toa gas station.

I hope you will listen to the residents and reject this permit. In the longrun it will help decide whether my family stays in this area or movescloser to my husband's place of work. I'm also certain it will turn awaynew families from making these communities their home.

Thanks for your consideration.

The Honorable Mayor McGrail and Council Members of the City of Keller, We are sending this letter to urge the City of Keller to not approve the pendingrequest for a SUP to allow the construction of a convenience store with gaspumps and a car wash within the Marshall Ridge Segment of the Hwy 377 NorthOverlay District. As residents of Marshall Point Estates, we believe such abusiness will be detrimental to the plans envisioned for upscale, high qualitydevelopment in this area and thus will have a lasting negative impact on northKeller. It is incumbent on the city to lead the way in ensuring that this primeundeveloped segment of Keller adjacent to significant undeveloped land inWestlake achieves the upscale, high quality vision. If this proposed SUP isapproved and a convenience store w/gas pumps and car wash becomes the firstcommercial project in the Marshall Ridge Segment of the overlay district, thenthe entire area up to the Westlake line will be in jeopardy of developing into acommercial strip mall area that will negatively affect the residential propertyvalues in Marshall Ridge and Marshall Point Estates as well as the total tax baseof the city. Therefore, we respectively request that this SUP not be approved. Sincerely,

This project will bring unnecessary traffic throughour neighborhood.

Please reconsider this decision. Building a gas station at the entrance of a neighborhoodis not the right thing to do. Put families before business.

Thank you very much.

Respectfully,

Quinton & Heather Glenn

To Whom It May Concern,


I was told when buying my home here that the land located east on 377 from 170 to1709 was slated for upscale shopping. It has come to my knowledge that a gas station isnow being proposed at the entrance of our neighborhood.


As a citizen, please note that I strongly appose the approval of this request for the gasstation

Dear Mayor and City Council Members,

I am writing to express my objection to building a gas station/Subway restaurant at theentrance to our neighborhoods (Marshall Ridge and Marshal Point, Hwy. 377 and RidgePoint Parkway).

It has always been my understanding in the city of Keller, the council has always beenvery picky on what types of businesses and where certain services would be located. Ialso had the understanding when looking at the city plan that the land located east on377 from 170 to 1709 was slated for upscale shopping. It has come to our neighborhoodsunderstanding that a gas station is now being proposed at the entrance of ourneighborhood. While the upscale shopping area is starting to look like a distant memory ofwhat was promised when I purchased my house, and I believe a gas station would determany high end retailers that would consider building in that area.

I have just become aware of a proposed gas station with 10 pumps and a Subwayrestaurant that wants to build in front of our neighborhood. I moved from Fort Worth toKeller because it didn't have that "home town" feeling anymore. I have been extremelyhappy living here in Keller but now the neighborhood that I thought I was buying... intoisn't what I thought it was. Keller is known for thathome town feeling and if you try tocompete with Southlake and Roanoke, you won't be "Keller" anymore.

It has always been my understanding in the city of Keller, the council has always beenvery picky on what types of businesses and where certain services would be located. Ialso had the understanding when looking at the city plan that the land located east on377 from 170 to 1709 was slated for upscale shopping. It has come to our neighborhoodsunderstanding that a gas station is now being proposed at the entrance of ourneighborhood.


Also, this is not what most of us were told when we were buying lots/homes in MarshallRidge and Marshall Point. To this day, the sales office in this neighborhood says it will beupscale shopping - a gas station is not that. QT is close enough and there are othervacant stretches of land for sale on 377 that the gas station could build without being infront of an upscale neighborhood. Nice restaurants with patios or retail is much moresuited to sit in front of our homes.

As a citizen I strongly appose the approval of this request and would like that noted. Iwant to stay in Keller but we won't stay if this is how Keller treats their citizens.

Respectfully,

Angela Darling, Registered Voter

I want to express my strong opposition to a proposed gas station at hwy377 and the frontage corner to the Marshall Ridge development onMarshall Ridge Parkway.We need properly thought out retail development, not more chickenrestaurants, donut shops and certainly not a gas station with a car wash.Keller has a great opportunity to develop this area into a strong andattractive retail center /strip that can draw strong retail anchor storesand nice restaurants if done right. Proper planning and no changes tothe established zoning!
