Comments The Stewart’s Shop Marion Ave gas station expansion project
20250022 is on the agenda for the Design Review Board
meeting for discussion on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
In reviewing the amended plans for the two proposed
commercial buildings, I see that Stewart’s has changed some
design elements to meet suggestions from the Design Review
Commission.

I still do not see any fence planned for the northern border of
this project.
We again appeal to the DRB to consider requiring an 8 foot
stockade fence along the boundary between the non-residential
district, and residential district abutting to the north, behind the
proposed trash bins to assist in protecting the environment of
that conservation easement, and to ease noise. We also ask
the DRB to require a final clean up of the trash in that lot
completed by Stewart’s Corp during or immediately after their
construction project.
This project has been the source of 4 years of anxiety and
frustration to us. The final betrayals were the loss to an appeals
court that allowed Stewart’s to expand the commercial property
100 feet to the North into residentially zoned parcels and the
ZBA final ruling which allowed a 100% variance for the gas
station.
We need to see that fence drawn in on the plans, verbal
assurance is not enough for us.
In my previous public comment letter, dated 1/7/2026, I believe
I have given valid reasons for a fence.
Thank you,
Deborah LaCombe-Garrelts
