Lot Descriptions and Construction Plans: The proposed subdivision would consolidate several parcels
under the ownership of Speedway and adjust the lot lines between Speedway and the adjacent commercial
office property at 999 E. Touhy Avenue. As background, Speedway, previously operating at 885 E. Touhy
Avenue, purchased and demolished a vacant building at 911 E. Touhy Avenue with the intent to redevelop
the entire site with a new Convenience Mart Fueling Station. Following approval of a Conditional Use Permit
on July 21, 2014 per Zoning Case #14 -024 -CU -V (Ordinance Z-16-14) the City became aware of a private
dispute between Speedway and the adjacent property owner involving a recorded parking and access
easement from 1976 for 21 parking spaces located on the 911 E. Touhy property.
As a resolution to the issue Speedway presented plans to the City Council showing that an 11 -foot by 214.1 -
foot portion of the property would be deeded to the adjacent 999 E. Touhy Avenue property owner. In
exchange for abandonment of the easement, Speedway would pay to sealcoat and re -stripe the 999 East
Touhy parking lot and deed the eastern approximately 11 feet to 999 E. Touhy to increase the number of
parking spaces by approximately 20 and allow access and vehicular flow per code. A modification to the
Conditional Use Permit was approved on July 6, 2015 per Ordinance Z-18-15.
