We, the residents of Thistle Downs and surrounding neighborhoods, opose the request to amend the existing residential zoning to allow a distillery at 5295 Asbury Road.
We demand that the City of Murfreesboro Planning Commision and City Council deny the application for the rezoning.
A distillery does not belong next to a residential community.
Our concerns are:
- environmental pollutants including whiskey fungus
- property value decline
- noise, light and smell pollution
- increased traffic, including semi trucks driving through our neighborhood causing safety hazards for our children
- fire hazard of flammable liquids
For the foregoing reasons, we urge you to vote against the proposed rezoning.
Why would anyone consider a distillery in the center of a residential neighborhood. I suggest the Murfreesboro City Council members take a field trip down to Lynchburg to the Jack Daniels distillery and take note of the fact that a black fungus-like mold is rampant on cars and trees in the area. Shame on anyone that approves this request.
