Township approves Tim Hortons site; rejects Rams Corner gas station after concerns

Planning Commission representative Rita Craig told the DDA on Sept. 29 that the Planning Commission reviewed two Special Use Permit applications: one for the former Tim Hortons property on Cedar Street and another for the Rams Corner Store, both proposing gas stations. The Planning Commission forwarded both permits to the Township Board for action.

Supervisor Eddie Montemayor reported the Township Board approved the Tim Hortons proposal and voted 'No' on the Rams Corner Store application "due to several concerns that were raised." The minutes do not describe the concerns in detail and do not record a vote tally for the township actions; the DDA discussion noted the disparate outcomes and that the township had recently held a ribbon cutting at Centennial Farms Park.
