This week, city staff and the city council fought a battle for the very soul and future of the city of Wilmington. At stake: the construction of a car wash at a major intersection in town.
It may sound melodramatic, but things at city council really got heated once discussions of a car wash came to the fore.
The lot in question is a small one- 1.5 acres right on the corner of Independence and Carolina Beach Road.
The applicant, Cindee Wolf explained the plans for a 4,000 square foot car wash, set back from the main road.
“The tract is already zoned for the commercial use,” she said. “It s a strip center with a parking lot facing Independence Boulevard. The proposal is not impacting any residents, and it hasn t received any opposition from the public in general.”
