Council approves Kroger fuel-center expansion at Dayton-Yellow Springs Road with conditions

Fairborn City Council on June 6 approved Resolution No. 22-16 to modify the Valle Greene North planned unit development and allow Kroger to expand its fuel center at 1161 E. Dayton‑Yellow Springs Road.

City Planner Kathleen Riggs reviewed the proposal: expand the existing canopy to cover four additional fueling dispensers, enlarge the kiosk, reface brick to match the new Kroger Marketplace, reface signage and remove one existing Kroger sign. Riggs recommended approval with four conditions, including requiring engineering review of traffic circulation after the new Kroger Marketplace is complete. Carol Crank of Kroger Real Estate answered council's questions, confirming there will be no additional underground storage tanks, that the restroom in the kiosk will be for employees only, that signage will include other businesses, and that the fuel station will operate 24/7 with early morning hours credit-card only.

Councilman Tim Steininger moved adoption of Resolution No. 22-16 with staff's recommended option and Deputy Mayor Paul Keller seconded; council approved the resolution unanimously.
