Alamida, California (Crohn– A gas station is fighting in Olaida to extend their hours to attract more work, but some neighbors are not happy with that. The City Council prompted hearing on Tuesday.
There is strong support as well as opposition to the fuel station. The owner says he has been welcomed in society over the past three years, and asks for an opportunity to be a greater part of it.
For this reason, these signs that are required to reconsider the opposition neighbors. In the middle of the calm neighborhood of Islama, the Mobil Future Station is located in Central Avenue.
Over the past three years, Quais Ahmed has managed. In general, the site was operated as a 75 -year -old fuel station.
But Ahmed says he was a conflict, and he wants to extend the hours of the week from 6 am to 10 pm and the weekends until 8 pm, including adding Sunday, to increase profits.
Ahmed said: “Struggle to pay the rent.” “We are struggling to pay taxes, struggle to pay the facilities, and struggle with a lot of bills to pay, and these hours may help and make them work for our benefit.”
The Alameeda Planning Committee approved his request in June, which angered some neglected neighbors. Submit their own signs that require the city council to change their position and say no to additional hours.
They did not want to speak on the camera, but they told Kron4 that they believed that the hours are longer – especially on weekends – they will open the flood gates to the large crowds, more noise and concerns about the store.
Ahmed said: “We do not try to open until midnight at all, and we are not trying to change it to 7/11 at all.” “We only need a little snack, water, and soda for people who pump gas, and they can go immediately.”
Throughout the summer, Ahmed gained more than 400 subsidies signatures, including customers and the neighboring church, which used a lot for parking on Sunday. The director of the Luther Trinity Church, Jessica Flechmann, is on board by extending hours.
“The current owners are nice and polite and they always want to work with us, only good people are truly in the vicinity,” said Flechman. “The expansion of the hours is somewhat reasonable; they just want to earn a livelihood here. We do not want to have an empty station there is nothing there.”
“This is not late,” Montees said. It is not as if it is midnight or 7 11 years as they open all the time. As if I am running out with children, I feel safe here. “
The City Council session will be held at 7 pm on Tuesday.
