Scaled down EZ Stop? Store brass ‘evaluating’
It was, in effect, a roughly 29 percent chop of EZ Stop officials’ original plans to build a 7,000-square convenience store/restaurant at the corner of Concord Road and Second Street adjacent to the Old Concord Historic neighborhood.
While EZ Stop was required to scale down its plans to a maximum 5,000-square foot operation to meet the standards per a Knox County Board of Zoning Appeals ruling Wednesday, Aug. 28, it left an outspoken Old Concord neighborhood resident — a leader in the movement to prevent EZ-Stop from building at this location — confused.
