An effort by two board members of the Foothills Paseo II HOA to drum up opposition to a Quik Trip service station planned near their community may be in vain, but they and other residents aren’t going away quietly.
Although the Ahwatukee Foothills Village Planning Committee will be getting the neighborhood hot potato when it meets next Monday, the city legally cannot stop the service station from being built, according to the chief of staff for City Councilman Sal DiCiccio.
The panel, which meets at 6 p.m. April 15, will be reviewing plans for a Quik Trip on the southeast corner of 40th Street and Cottonwood Lane – less than a mile from the South Mountain Freeway and near the only entranceway to Foothills Paseo II.
