Speedway Corporation has submitted two variance appeals for their new 10-pump gas station and convenience store on South Jefferson Avenue.
Cookeville Planning Director Jon Ward said the two appeals are to expand their access point on South Jefferson Avenue and to exceed parking lot grades.
“”
Ward said Cookeville’s current codes state that access points should not exceed 40 feet. He said that Speedway is requesting to expand their access point to 50 feet to match up lanes with Wal-Mart and grant safer truck access.
Ward said there is significant grade change across the parking lot, and Speedway has asked to exceed Cookeville’s 5 percent grade change code.

Ward said that appealing to the Zoning Appeals Board is Speedway’s next step in their process. He said that should the board approve the appeals, they will move on from there. The Zoning Appeals Board meets Thursday, August 12th at 5:15 p.m.
