A Circle K convenience store and gas station will replace the existing Circle K store and car wash at Frost Road and State Route 43 in Streetsboro. The city's Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously Oct. 13 in favor of a conditional use permit for the business. A 5,200-square-foot convenience store and 12 fueling stations would be built on the site, according to a project narrative submitted to the city by Colliers Engineering. An existing Circle K convenience store on the north end of the property, as well as an Ultimate Wash car wash to the south, would be demolished. The business would be open 24 hours a day, 7 days each week, with four to six employees on staff during peak hours. There would be 26 parking spaces. Traffic would enter the site from Frost Road or State Route 43. John Cieszkowski, Streetsboro's planning and zoning director, said the commission added a condition that the traffic delineators on Frost Road must be be extended west, and cannot block Adele Drive, to discourage left turns onto Frost Road from the property. It's not clear when construction will begin or when the new business will open, Cieszkowski said. Reporter Diane Smith
