Thank you for continuing to investigate this and for forwarding the truck traffic question to Engineering. I wanted to provide some additional information and also clarify a few questions.
First, I am not entirely clear on how 2615 S. Kendall Drive relates to the FBM operation or to the semi-truck traffic I originally reported. Could Planning clarify what commercial use was found to be occurring on that residentially zoned parcel? Is that property being used by FBM for access, truck circulation, storage, staging, parking, or some other part of its operations?
My concern about truck traffic is also not limited to S. Kendall Drive. Semi-trucks serving FBM continue to travel through the residential neighborhood, including Watson Street and Bryan Street. My broader concern is why semi-trucks serving this commercial facility are routinely entering and traveling through the residential neighborhood at all, rather than accessing the commercial property from Country Club Drive.
For Engineering, I would appreciate clarification about whether semi-trucks serving this facility are permitted to routinely use Watson Street, Bryan Street, S. Kendall Drive, and other residential neighborhood streets as access routes. If there are currently no restrictions, does the City have the ability to establish an appropriate truck route or otherwise restrict commercial truck traffic through these residential streets?
I also wanted to make Planning and Engineering aware of a significant change in ownership since the property's historic use was established. Lowe's Companies completed its $8.8 billion acquisition of Foundation Building Materials in October 2025. In announcing the acquisition, Lowe's specifically described plans to enhance its Pro business through expanded capabilities, faster fulfillment, improved digital tools, and cross-selling opportunities.
I understand that a corporate acquisition alone may not necessarily require new local approvals. However, given the recent change in ownership, Lowe's stated goals for FBM, and Planning's discovery that part of the current operation has expanded onto a residentially zoned parcel, I think it is important to ask whether the nature or intensity of this location's operations has changed or may change enough to require additional City review.
I am also unclear how substantially increased fulfillment, truck traffic, or other commercial activity could be accommodated at this particular location without further affecting the surrounding residential neighborhood. If operations at this facility increase, what zoning, site-plan, traffic, access, or development review would be required to determine whether this location and its existing access points can accommodate that activity?
Here is Lowe's announcement regarding its acquisition of FBM:

Thank you again for looking into this. I appreciate Planning pursuing the Title 20 issue and Engineering investigating the truck traffic. I would especially appreciate clarification about how the Kendall property fits into FBM's operation and whether commercial semi-truck traffic through Watson, Bryan, Kendall, and the surrounding residential neighborhood is permitted.

There are two hazard flashing signs in the 2000-2600 blocks of South Rogers Street, one by Rockport and one by Country Club. There does not appear to be any work happening in the area, so what are the signs for, and when will they go away? They’ve been here for three weeks. They do not contain information. They are just large flashing light signs that are on the sidewalk and blocking the way. Please determine who they belong to and get rid of them if possible. Thank you.

When the new road was put in they left a 2 ft drop so we can no longer access our side yard safely. We need it fixed ASAP.

Thank you for reviewing my report. I appreciate the time Planning and BPD took to look into my concerns.
I understand BPD's explanation that noise from vehicles operating at a business is not something they can cite as an ordinance violation. However, I don't believe that fully addressed the questions raised in my original report.
I understand the property dates back to 1980 and that there may not be an approved site plan on file. However, if the intensity or nature of the business's operations has changed significantly since that time—particularly with increased semi-truck traffic, early morning unloading activities, or the regular use of residential neighborhood entrances—I was wondering whether those changes would require any additional review, approvals, or compliance with current zoning or development standards.
I also noticed my question regarding truck circulation was not addressed. Specifically, are semi-trucks permitted to routinely access the property through the Broadview neighborhood entrances, or are they expected to use the primary entrance on Country Club Drive? If there is no site plan, is there another document or approval that governs truck access and circulation for the property?
I recognize that businesses have a right to operate and that some level of noise is expected. My concern is not with the existence of the business itself, but whether its current operations and traffic patterns remain consistent with applicable City regulations and whether there are reasonable ways to reduce the impact on the surrounding residential neighborhood.
I would appreciate any clarification you can provide regarding these questions. Thank you again for your time.

Blocked Sidewalk

- Case Date:
- 6/6/2026
Guests of 2400 S Rogers are parked with their wheels on the sidewalk of Coolidge Dr. Another guest of the same residence is also parked across from the alley that connects Coolidge and Graham. The cars being parked on both sides of the road/cross-corner from each other creates challenges for larger vehicles. Pedestrians in wheelchairs would need to go on the street to get through. Also, emergency vehicles would have trouble getting through. It is difficult to access the alley or leave the alley. The parking situation next to this address is unsafe on most weekends and many weeknights.

The red light where the trail crosses the street is confusing. Most drivers do not understand when to stop or wait. I have often seen one lane stop while the opposite do not. I think a simple warning light or traditional stop light would be more efficient and less dangerous.
Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

The complaint is the lack of curb. Trucks from next door atrhe drywall company, the mail people, and cars in general cut the corner and drive into my yard all the time. Every year i am filling holes from tires with dirt. Can I request a curb?
Blocked Street
2600 S Rogers ST
- Case Date:
- 2/23/2026
This is not a blocked (by car) alley, per se.
This alley is not accessed by car, but it is unclear if this alley has ever been vacated by the city.
I would like to know if overgrowth and trees within the alley running north/south from W Ralston Dr to W Country Club Dr, within the block bordered by S Milton St and S Rogers St, is the city's responsibility. According to the plat map of Broadview, the alley is 12 ft wide.
Thank you.
