NARRATIVE
The Amoco station at the southwest corner of Elizabeth
Street and Taft Hill Road is currently in use as a full
service gas station with a carwash. Amoco Oil Company
wishes to expand the existing station to increase the size
of their sales area. The current sales area would increase
from an existing display counter to sales area. This would
require adding a carwash to the existing building and
converting the existing carwash to a service bay and
converting an existing service bay into a sales area.
New underground gas tanks, new gas pumps and a canopy over
the pumps are additional proposed improvements to this
site.
The changes to this site are being proposed in order to
improve the appearance of the station and the image of
Amoco Oil Company to the community. The canopy will
provide protection from the weather during gas pumping.
Landscaping is being proposed to enhance the appearance of
the site.
The underground tanks are being relocated to improve the
access of the transports for refilling the underground
tanks. Currently the transports must pull in the site and
back out onto Taft Hill Road to deliver gasoline. Placing
the tanks on the northeast corner of the site would enable
the transport to pull in from Elizabeth and pull out of the
right only curb cut onto Taft Hill Road.
A market study for this station has indicated that Amoco
needs to expand their sales area to remain competitive with
other similar stations in the area. This is the reason to
add the new carwash and do the interior remodeling.
The existing exterior storage area is being removed and
storage area is being provided within the improvements to
the building. The existing building is approximately 2,150
sq. ft. and is being expanded to approximately 2,870 sq.
ft.
In conclusion, the improvements to this site will have a
positive impact on the surrounding properties and will only
improve the appearance of this corner.
