Residents tell commission rezoning for Brown Hollow could disrupt equine therapy business
Summary
Public commenters near Brown Hollow urged the commission to consider the impact of a proposed residential rezoning, saying construction noise and increased truck traffic will disrupt an equine‑therapy business that serves veterans, families and first responders.
A pair of neighbors told the Hickman County Commission that a proposed rezoning of part of Brown Hollow could severely disrupt nearby homes and local businesses that rely on quiet, rural conditions.
A public commenter who identified herself as the owner of National Equine Therapy said she lives “right down the street” from the proposed project and that construction noise would interfere with her therapy work. “The trucks, the construction noise, the hammers ... the music that was playing was really disruptive,” she said, adding, “I cannot imagine what this is gonna do with my business if this gets passed.”
Jim Eidenbeck, who identified himself during the public comment period, said he moved to the back of the Hollow two years ago and worries about a rise in heavy traffic and logging trucks. “I just do think that ... the road noise and the construction coming through” will make it harder to maintain the area’s normalcy, he said.
The chair introduced Michael Tittney as a property owner at 6716 Brown Hollow Road; Tittney told the commission he has “followed all the rules” and expects to return for plat approval. He offered to answer questions from the commission.
The commission did not vote on rezoning at this meeting; the chair noted there was no final action on the item and public comments were recorded for the file. Commissioners and staff did discuss procedural questions about acreage and platting for related first‑hearing items that will return next month for formal consideration.
The meeting record does not show a map presented to the speakers; one commenter said she had not seen a map and could not speak to specific boundaries or timing. The commission left the item on the agenda for further work and scheduled any vote for a future meeting.
