Hello Neighbors! I'm sure you have received a postcard from the Town of Collierville about an upcoming development application request DD-20-018. This gentleman is trying to put a convenience store and gas station right in our backyard, at the NW corner of Collierville Rd and Byhalia Rd. It will be less than one mile from the main entrance of Cypress Grove Subdivision. This would be visible from the front of our neighborhood, will bring traffic, and most definitely put us all at a higher risk for crime. It could also negatively affect the values of all of our homes, as new buyers will have these same concerns. It is also known that people who live or work near gas stations may be exposed to toxic chemicals in the air, soil and drinking water. The town hall meeting is scheduled for September 14th at 6pm. Please sign this petition if you feel that this development could negatively affect you and your family. Let's keep our neighborhood as safe and beautiful as possible! Below are a few sites for your reference, most are events that happened in Tennessee or near us and all are from 2020. There is also another proposal to put one at Shelby Dr and Byhalia Rd, so if that one relates to you, please sign this petition!

These types of establishments are a little more than magnets for crime. I do not want this on the yards away from my home and feet away from my neighbors.
This will have a drastic negative impact on the community along with excess crime. There is a convenience store within 1/4 mile where crime already exists.
This is a residential neighborhood with children, a gas station does not belong here
Stop this development
I do not approve of putting a gas station so close to any neighborhood.
Why they want to destroy our community, this is a residential area, we don’t need to call crime to our community, we should investigate why they insisting in this idea. Something is wrong.

This is a horrible location with school traffic being a safety concern. There are at least 6 other gas station/ convenience stores in a 5 mile radius. This one is not needed. Strongly reject this proposal.
