We the undersigned of Hood County, Texas oppose the building of a Tommy's Convenience Store with “Underground Petroleum Tanks”, near our drinking water wells, located at 102 Weatherford Hwy, Granbury Texas 76049. The site plan filed with Texas Department of Transportation indicates use of one of Laguna Tres private roads without our permission or remuneration for their business purposes. This business will create extremely unsafe traffic volumes on Hwy 51, safety hazards for residents entering /exiting on Hwy 51, with the possibility of spillage of gasoline into our drinking water, and in case of a fire will prevent evacuation of the residents in Laguna Tres Estates.
Not only the points that are listed in this petition, but the addition of asphalt at this location will create more runoff which is an issue in an area that is already prone to flooding, not to mention they will have to put in a septic system near the existing water wells. Building anything at the current location is not smart, practical, or safe.
