HomeMy WebLinkAboutNarrative_Maverik_v1 Date: August 6, 2025 To Whom It May Concern: Maverik, Inc. is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to install three signs at our proposed travel center location at 15280 Green Road:
• One (1) 90-foot pole sign
• One (1) 30-foot pole sign
• One (1) CAT Scales sign These signs are essential to the operational success and public safety function of this regional travel center, which is designed to serve both local motorists and regional commercial drivers. 90’ Pole Sign The 90-foot sign is intended to provide high-visibility identification for travelers approaching the site from surrounding highways and major routes. Due to the scale of the roadway network, the speed of passing traffic, and the commercial nature of the surrounding area, a sign of this height is critical to allow for safe and timely navigation. This sign will clearly mark the site as a fuel and convenience stop, reduce sudden last-minute traffic movements, and support orderly access from nearby interchanges. 30’ Pole Sign The 30-foot pole sign will serve as secondary identification for local traffic approaching the site. This sign will be visible from adjacent roads and help reinforce the site's brand, promote on-site amenities, and improve wayfinding. This sign also supports safe entry and exit by giving drivers a clear visual cue as they near the property. CAT Scales Sign Maverik also proposes installation of a CAT Scales sign to identify the presence of a Certified Automated Truck (CAT) Scale on-site. These scales are a nationally recognized system used by commercial drivers to verify and document vehicle weight, which is a critical function for legal compliance and road safety. Visibility of this service from the road is vital so that truck drivers can safely access the site without having to make last-minute decisions or detours. CAT Scales are a highly valued amenity in the trucking industry and help attract essential traffic to the site. Together, these signs will promote safe traffic flow, support business viability, and provide critical information to a diverse range of drivers — including commercial trucks, RVs, and everyday motorists. Maverik is committed to ensuring that all signage is constructed to professional standards, adheres to all applicable codes, and complements the character of the surrounding development. We respectfully request that the Planning Commission and/or relevant reviewing body grant a Special Use Permit for the proposed signage at 15280 Green Road. Sincerely, Kimberley Neilson Permit Specialist YESCO LLC kneilson@yesco.com 801-441-7648
