Conclusion. In light of the foregoing in which I have attempted to allay the fears of the "neighboring opposition" and committed to compliance with reasonable requirements of the Environmental Health Division and the fact that we have already expended in the vicinity of$20,000.00 to drill down in the UST area to identify the contamination and towards remedying it, I wish to conclude with a final plea as follows:. (I) There is only one convenience store in the area9t is known as Collierville Market, across the freeway from us. The other two are Food Marts, one at Chevron again across the freeway from us off the southbound lanes of Hwy 99 and the other approximately 3/4 to a mile further south on Hwy 99. This second convenience store that is being proposed here will provide some degree of competition and the convenience of such a service right off the northbound lanes of Hwy 99. (II) Both the existing gas stations are off the southbound lanes of Hwy 99, Chevron being the closest one and Jahant Food & Gas is off Jahant Road further south. Our proposed gas outlet will provide this service more conveniently to people traveling north on Hwy 99 at a definite saving per gallon of gas in comparison to Chevron's prices. It might be pertinent to note here that the services we propose to provide are not available as conveniently to northbound travelers on Hwy 99 any where between Lodi and Simmerhorn Road past Galt. (III) The parcel is appropriately zoned for the proposed redevelopment. It is the site of a former gas station and repair facility where an Auto Repair Shop is currently being operated with all the facilities necessary to meet the requirements of the public. We do however agree to improve on the capacities of the public services as deemed necessary. (IV) The proposed redevelopment will no doubt enhance the general appearance of the area by providing efficient 24 hour service from a well lit site. It will also provide employment to at least six people and possibly pave the way for further development with additional employment opportunities. Against the background of all the issues considered and discussed I sincerely hope we have overcome the obstacles and cleared the way for approval of the application be it conditional upon any requirement that you may in your magnanimity see fit to impose. I commend the application for your favorable consideration and approval. If there should be a need for further elaboration or clarification on any aspect of the application, I would be happy to respond to them as best I can. Thank you, Veer V. Singh
