Circle K CUP

A 21-year resident who likes Circle K but says a truck stop across from the 260/87 lights will worsen already-bad traffic and drive visitors away.

Spoke via Zoom about the wall being a retention wall, 24/7 truck idling noise, light, crime concerns, and that the R-3 parcel remains residential.

Runs a micro-school from her childhood home behind the site; parents worry about air quality, crime, and traffic, and she'd rather see the 52 planned houses than another gas station.

Said Payson has a poor record on unintended consequences — citing Safeway traffic — and urged the Council to protect residents before Circle K's interests.

Argued wall reflections will amplify semi-idling noise over safe decibel levels, signage won't stop idlers, and wildlife habitat in the trees will be lost.

Lives near the Juniper Pines construction mess and said the Circle K proposal doesn't pass the smell test; urged the Council to demand more detailed answers first.

Worried weekend traffic to Christopher Creek already jams Walmart; trucks turning through the area will block intersections and hurt smaller local gas stations.

Demanded the Council walk the property itself and complete flood, soil, and traffic studies before voting on something irreversible.
