I have a long email thread on this with the council and the development board. There is a restriction on putting gas stations in residential neighborhoods but this Sheetz applied for an exception and got it. They also got waivers on the buffer zone and a few other things. It is an eyesore with a giant wall of blocks that makes it look like a fort. It is on New Falls of Neuse/Wakefield Plantation Drive if you ever want to see it in person.
I asked the board and council when public notice was made and which meeting this was discussed and they could not answer. I got a long-winded email that was basically "we don't use subjective criteria so go about your way."
