An application (LRB-387) has been received by the City of Atlanta for the redevelopment of the former Shell Station located at 1521 Peachtree Street. The intended use is for a convenience store that will sell a limited selection of beer and wine with hours of operation set as 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Both the Ansley Park Zoning Committee and the Sherwood Forest Zoning Committee have expressed concerns over the proposed hours of operation as well as issues pertaining to security, access, drainage and the future development of this site if this lease expires, changes ownership or the proposed tenant's lease terminates. The owner of this site is John Dewberry/Dewberry Properties.

It is important that we show our concern for this project and the adverse impact it will have in our neighborhood.

As a neighborhood, we do not object to store operations between 5am and 11pm including alcohol sales but oppose 24 hour operations and late hour (after 11pm) operations.

We are asking that you show your support by signing this petition.

Thank you,

SFCA
