Retail Building Proposed For Scott Boulevard/North Decatur Chevron Station Site
Decatur Metro | August 10, 2015 | 2:12 pm
According to the Medlock Area Neighborhood Association website, the owner of the Chevron Station property at Scott Boulevard and North Decatur Road wants to redevelop the site to include a 6,000 square foot retail space at the intersection. See the proposed site plan above.
MANA states that the site requires variances for side and rear setbacks and goes before DeKalb’s Zoning Board of Appeals on Wednesday, August 12th. The owner has expressed an interest in gaining support from the Cross-Neighborhoods Committee and the community before the meeting.
The post states that MANA is concerned about…”sidewalks, improved landscaping, minimizing curb cuts, minimal signage, maintaining a buffer with the adjoining condominiums and adding a comfortable bus stop.”
I guess we’ll have to wait and see what modifications are made to this plan between now and then, but for now know that the Chevron Station may not be long for this world.
Might as well stack some apartments on top of that one as well . . .
Huh! Does that mean the mini Hertz franchise goes away? I’ve used them many times and it’s darned convenient!
What kind of retail will have less traffic going in, and it’s viewed as a good thing? Don’t stores want more traffic?
Seems like a building here should embrace the corner…. but then it might have to look somewhat interesting and could not be a box.
This going to be the Dunkin Donuts that was denied down the street? Hard to tell from the image if it’s a drive through in the back. Probably not. It would be hell getting in and out of there in the morning.
I believe there is a drive-through cleaners on the west side of the current building. Actually, would be very easy to get in and out in the morning if you’re going towards Atlanta on Scott (assuming the new design allows circling back around to exit back onto Scott). Similarly easy access in the evening if you’re heading east on North Decatur Road.
