Residents don’t think the developer's plans are a good match for the high-profile spot, with pedestrian safety and the project’s proximity to Sugar House Park among their main concerns.
They worry the gas station and convenience store proposed at 2100 South and 1300 East will worsen traffic and could threaten the neighboring park.
Agents for the property’s owner, Romney Farr Properties in Salt Lake City, have applied for a conditional permit to demolish the vacant eatery at 2111 S. 1300 East and build a one-story retail outlet on that 0.81-acre site, which adjoins the northwest corner of Sugar House Park. Residents don’t think it’s a good match for the high-profile spot, with pedestrian safety and the project’s proximity to Sugar House Park among their main concerns.
The land in question is located in an area zoned for community business and is on the eastern edge of Sugar House’s central business district, which is seeing a dramatic spurt of commercial and residential development. Included in the permit request are details on a series of safeguards and design standards meant to prevent leaks and spills from the Kum & Go’s fuel tanks, piping and related dispensing equipment.
That won’t substantially affect the surrounding roads, the study found, partly because the project’s design also calls for closing and abandoning the northern most of three existing access points to the property, along 1300 East, and replacing it with curb, gutter and landscaping.
