Rutter's Farm Stores

Well despite Rutter's claims that they are a family oriented organization, they seem to care very little about this particular family. Despite 8 residents outcries the Manchester Township Zoning board ruled in favor of Rutter's. Effective immediately they are able to remain open 24 hours. I'm honestly crushed. Rutter's lawyer presented a very weak case and our zoning officials bought it! Their traffic studies showed a substantial increase in traffic in the past 11 years. These studies did not break down the traffic volumes by the hour, so there was no way to prove that there is extremely minimal traffic on our street between the hours of 12am and 6am. Sadly this didn't seem to matter to two of the three zoning officials. So, now my kids are forced to try to sleep while car doors slam, 18 wheelers pull in and out and people yell, cuss etc. across the street from us. Apparently sleeping with your windows open is a luxury my children aren't allowed. Therefore, if you happen to be reading this and would find yourself passing through York Co. please stop at a Sheetz. Rutter's has, for many years, hidden behind the facade of family, community and children. Tonight they showed 8 upset residents their true colors. It's just business, business, business and glory be to the almighty dollar. I pray they find out through decreased profits how little traffic exists here between the hours of 12am and 6am. Keeping all the lights on, paying 2-3 employees and for what?! I can't see it would even be worth it. It's sad really, our zoning officials have basically OKed a truck stop in the midst of a residential area. Terrific! According to Edgar Sentz and Craig Wisherd (the two dim bulbs on our zoning board) our complaints about trucks parking for prolonged periods of time will be better managed if the store is open for 24 hours. WHAT! No, more trucks will come and stay, there will no way to prove that they aren't supposed to be there! Wow! GREAT thinking Ed and Craig, um, LIU called their looking for two of their adult students and I think you just fit the description. Well, as you can see I posted pictures of "quiet Rutter's" and "no light leaves our property Rutter's". Notice how the light shines on the street and our front yard. For crying out loud I can weed our front flower beds at 11pm with only the light from Rutter's! If no light is leaving their property then where the hell is it all coming from? Oh, wait I forgot....my shining personality! (Ok, anyone who actually knows me, I apologize for any injuries you may have sustained while falling off your chair laughing at that last comment.) Don't forget..... visit your local Sheetz, at least they don't claim to be family loving, baby kissing, up standing members of society. So, visit Sheets and piss in a Rutter's parking lot!
