<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>I think it's
time for the MUTC and the Town to work with Jey so that all parties
benefit. The main problem with Jey's Auto is that he cannot build a gas
station because of MUTC guidelines. These guidelines are nothing more
than that. If the MUTC wanted, they could approve a proposal which would
preserve the intent of the guidelines while satifying Jey desire for a
gas station.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>

<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>Here's the
problem. Jey wants a gas station and convenience store. The MUTC
guidelines say no to the gas station, but the convenience store is OK.
With a little creative thinking and flexibility we can make something happen
without involving the Town. <FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT
face=arial,sans-serif>Consider the following. The MUTC approves the gas
station/convenience store with the following
provisions.</FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT
face=arial,sans-serif></FONT></FONT></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>1. The
convenience store frontage is along Rt 1.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P><FONT
color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>
<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>2. The
convenience store frontage and facade conforms with the MUTC
guidelines.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>3.
Signage conforms with the MUTC guidelines.</FONT></FONT></FONT>
</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>4. The
gas station section is behind the convenience store and cannot be seen from Rt
1. </FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>5.
Egress to the gas station would be on either side of the convenience
store.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P>This will work and I think Jey will go for it. Lets stop acting
like lawyers. Stop worrying about the words and worry about
the reasons the words were written. This is a low risk approach
with a small sacrifice. Alternatively, the Town can purchase the
property along with all of the potential environmental issues that go with
it. When are we going to get business friendly in this Town?
Hyattsville did and look what's happening. What are we waiting
for? It's a no brainer for me.</P>
