Daily's Place gas station at 600 State Road 13 N
Summary
Dozens of Fruit Cove residents turned out to oppose a 24/7 gas station/convenience store/car wash next to their well-water neighborhood, citing traffic on the lone neighborhood entrance, safety at the school bus stop, well contamination risk, and property values. The PZA unanimously recommended denial; the applicant warns the already-approved 52,100 sq ft retail/office project could be built instead.

Impact analysis
Residents presented recent sales data suggesting nearby homes sold roughly $126,000 and $145,000 under market, which they blamed on the gas station threat.
Fruit Cove Estates residents if the denial holds; the property owner and commuters if the signalized gas station were eventually approved.
If denial stands, the owner faces building the larger, already-approved 52,100 sq ft retail/office project with no signal.
