This may include photographs of local scenery, parks, or mascots to fit the local character of each location. The store is designed to facilitate an on-site bakery as well as Build-To-Order sandwich bar, burritos, tacos, pizza and other fresh food offerings. Maverik prides itself on cleanliness and we strive to keep our stores safe, clean, and well kept. Store Exteriors The building elevations, building materials and floor plan depict the architectural style and themes of the Maverik brand. The exterior of the building will consist of metal roof elements, fiber cement, cultured stone, glass storefront, steel truss beams, etc. HVAC equipment will be situated on the store roof and screened from view by a parapet wall and is consistent with code requirements for screening roof mounted mechanical equipment and blending in with the surrounding community. The fuel canopy includes the same architectural elements and materials so that our design is consistent from the time you arrive to fill your tank and when you enter our store. Traffic Access and Parking The site proposes the following accesses: • A new access road will be constructed, lining up with Spring Lake Drive which will be the primary entrance and exit. Adequate on-site parking with ADA parking is located to the north, west and south sides of the building. Bike parking is available near the entrance and there are clear and safe paths for pedestrians made from the entrance to the public sidewalk as well as connections to adjacent lots. 185 South State Street, Suite 800 Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 801.699.5750 | maverik.com Landscaping and Outdoor Seating: Outdoor seating is incorporated into the site design, surrounded by landscaping, and is adjacent to the store’s southern entrance. We always provide outdoor seating at our stores so customers can enjoy our fresh food and beverages outside of their car. Safety Safety is of the utmost importance to Maverik. Our stores incorporate safety and crime prevention into the very design of the building and site. Our store fronts have large windows along the face of the building, where the register clerk can see out the window and monitor activity at the gas pumps. Our stores are well-lit with clear entrances. Our lighting faces the building and is never directed so we do not disturb surrounding properties. Making the store visible and transparent is known to deter criminal activity. We have as many as 24 security cameras surrounding the perimeter of the building as well as inside. If anything were to occur, we have the tapes on file which can be requested in a lawsuit. In fact, we have a strong partnership with our local police forces because of this camera footage, we have assisted in over 150 non- Maverik related incidents, included fraud, stole property, and vehicle accidents. Due do all our safety policies and procedures, we were awarded Workplace Safety award by WCF Insurance in 2017. Environmental Maverik goes above and beyond the environmental standards in our field. We install double walled non- corrodible fiberglass underground storage tanks that are hooked up to non-corrodible flexible plastic piping. When gas is delivered, we have installed a vapor recovery system so less fumes are released into the air, causing less impact on surroundings neighbors and development. In the case of an emergency if any leak were to occur, we have a state of the art leak detection equipment along with in-house resources who monitor issues in real time and immediately respond to conditions.
