This material, donated by Louise Chestnut, consists of three different requests for rezoning permits to convert already existing gas and service stations to gas and convenience marts. All three stations are on Lee Highway. The companies include Exxon and Texaco. On behalf of these companies, the file includes documentation about the requests. The file also includes reaction from groups of citizens opposed to the zoning request. The Yorktown High School PTA, local business owners, and residents of both Cherrydale and Maywood opposed the approval of these permits. These groups wrote letters and testified about the detrimental impact this change in facility would engender.
