Residents are also concerned that the vote approving the project was 2-1-Commissioners Don Campbell and Alex Villicana voted yes, Chairperson Kristina Simpson-Spearman voted no, and Commissioners Anne Wyatt and Mariam Shah were absent from the meeting. "This would also be the only 24-hour, nonemergency facility in town so it would attract everyone into this neighborhood at all times when everything else is closed." "No one wants to live next to something that is running 24 hours a day because it will be a magnet to any people from outside the community coming off of the freeway," he said. He said that regardless of what the details of the structure are, the main concern comes from the amount of disturbance that would come from having a 24-hour gas station in a residential area.
"When they submitted the new plans in July of this year, they had also made adjustments that-while it took things out-also made the facility 24 hours." "After the county made requests, the developer went in and 'made' the changes-in reality just scrambling ideas around and adding things while only taking away major violators of county and town code," he said. Initially, the project featured a drive-thru fast-food restaurant, car wash, convenience store, and gas station amenities with each ensuing version asked to modify its details to meet town and county requirements-but the changes weren't what people expected, Jarboe said. CONSTRUCTION CONTROVERSY Templeton residents are rallying against the construction of the East Bennett Village gas station claiming it is unnecessary and would only lead to disruption for the surrounding neighborhood.
