Gas station land annexed, rezoned Lenny’s Gas N Wash will be located at Route 126 and Drauden Road By Andrea Earnest Enterprise Staff
news@enterprisepublications.com @PlainfieldNews
The Plainfield Village Board approved an annexation agreement for the proposed Lenny’s Gas N Wash, which will be located at the southwest corner at Route 126 and Drauden Road, and rezoned the property from R-1 to B-3. A special use was also permitted for a drive-thru at the gas station, and the board also agreed to the economic incentive agreement for the gas station. The property owner will be providing money for the extension of water and sanitary sewer utilities to the site. Since the owner is paying for this, the village has agreed to a rebate sales tax agreement to refund the property owner over time. The agreement would be for up to a seven year period and have stepped increments of a percent back to the property owner. Construction would include a 4,800-squarefoot convenience store, fuel islands facing toward Route 126 and a car wash.
