Lenny’s Gas N’ Wash annexation approved Proposed location is southwest corner of Route 126, Drauden Road By Andrea Earnest Enterprise Staff
news@enterprisepublications.com @PlainfieldNews
The Plainfield Village Board approved an annexation agreement for a proposed Lenny’s Gas N’ Wash at the southwest corner of Route 126 and Drauden Road. Trustee Ed O’Rourke recused himself from the May 2 vote, citing a conflict of interest. Village Planner Jonathan Proulx said the applicant is requesting approval of annexation into the village and also would like to subdivide a 10-acre parcel along Route 126 to create a 3-acre lot for the gas station and one acre for storm retention. The applicant is also requesting to rezone the property from R-1 to B-3. The developer would also like a special use permit for drive-thru operations. Proulx said construction would include a 4,800-square-foot convenience store, fuel islands facing toward Route 126 and a car wash. The property owner has also committed to extending water and sanitary sewer utilities to the site.
