APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL REVIEW FOR THE FLEET FARM STORE AND GAS
STATION/CONVENIENCE STORE LOCATED IN THE NE'/4 OF SECTION 5
(W195 S6460 RACINE AVENUE / TAX KEY NO. 2177.996)
WHEREAS, The Plan Commission approved a Building, Site, and Operation Plan on March 1,
2022 and a Conditional Use Grant for a gas station convenience store and an automobile service
area for Fleet Farm via Resolutions PC 0023-2022 and PC 025-2022 located at S195 W6460
Racine Avenue, and
WHEREAS, The property is zoned B-3 General Business District, and current uses are allowed
by right and by Conditional Use Grant, and
WHEREAS, Although the approvals were in 2022, the building additions and site work were
mostly completed for temporary occupancy in 2023, when Fleet Farm opened for business, and
WHEREAS, Fleet Farm is still operating under a temporary occupancy and still has a couple
minor items that must be completed for full occupancy of the site, and
WHEREAS, Ongoing conditions that are reviewed during the annual reviews include:
- Outdoor storage/sales of LP and ice are limited to the containers and locations as noted
in this resolution (one ice bin and one LP bin) with the exterior of all containers to be
painted to match the building and no with no other outdoor sales being allowed in front of
the gas station building (firewood, etc.).
- Outdoor merchandise sales of salt and washer fluid is limited to the area between the
pumps only (not on the end caps of the pumps) and must be raised on a curbed surface
and maintained neatly at all times in a confined area. Fleet Farm made the decision
during construction of the gas station/convenience store that they were not going to add a
curbed area around the pumps to allow for the outdoor sales between the pumps.
Therefore, no outdoor sales are allowed between the gas pumps.
- The seasonal outdoor garden sales greenhouse, shade structure and movable shed must
be removed from the parking lot while the seasonal sales are not occurring and taken off
site or located within the store or in the screened outdoor storage area.
- Any outdoor sales, display and/or storage by the main store is limited to the specifically
identified area noted on the site plan and no additional outdoor storage or display of
products is allowed at any time on site, unless further Plan Commission approvals are
sought.
- All signage must be permitted via a separate sign permit.
WHEREAS, A site inspection was conducted on February 11, 2025 and compliance was not
found, and
WHEREAS, Specific violations included an ice bin and LP cage/bin outside of the store that have
not been painted to match the exterior or the building, outside sales of salt between the gas
pumps, which are not allowed due to the decision to exclude the concrete curb during
construction, a long row of carts, pallets, product and a garbage dumpster being stored behind
the building, and a trailer for rent was located outside of the allowable outdoor sales/storage
areas, and
WHEREAS, A letter was sent to the store manager and corporate office identifying the issues and
a follow up inspection conducted on February 21, 2025 showed no improvement to the site and
there was additional product located behind the building, and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, The Plan Commission approves of the petitioner's annual
review for Fleet Farm.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the approval contained in this
resolution shall result in the imposition of fines of $100 per day, the initiation of legal action, or
both.
