Pep Boys to Blackwood Clementon Road?
The Planning Board is scheduled to hear testimony and review an application for a Pep Boys franchise Tuesday night.
Gloucester Township Planning Board is scheduled to hear an application for a nearly 5,000-square-foot Pep Boys store on Blackwood Clementon Road Tuesday, May 22.
The automotive service and tire center would be built at 1501 Blackwood Clementon Road, on the northwest corner of the intersection of Blackwood Clementon Road and Little Gloucester Road, if the planning board approves the plan.
The applicants, doing business as Texas-based Embree Asset Group Inc., are seeking preliminary and final major site plan approval.
They will be seeking a variance to build the 4,988-square-foot facility on a 0.79-acre lot. Zoning requirements for the area call for a minimum of an acre for an automotive repair facility.
The majority of applicants are identified as Texas residents in documentation submitted to the township earlier this year. The applicants will be represented by engineer Jason L. Flichter, of InSite Engineering, of Wall, and attorney Bob Smith, of Bob Smith & Associates, of Piscataway.
The property is owned by a California woman.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. in Council chambers at the municipal building.

OK, sure, let them do it so they can run one or more of the 3 auto parts stores already on Blackwood-Clementon Rd out of business and create more vacant eyesores on that road! You people are just brilliant... When are you going to wake up and make any sense???

I am literally ill about the decision. My backyard is within 200 feet of the proposed location. Residents and I protested at both planning board meetings; however, economic interest is their major concern.
