Florida Gated Community Will Stop At Nothing To Stop Tommy's Car Wash

WINK News reports that the Jonathan’s Bay gated community in Fort Myers, Florida is ready to go to war to stop a Tommy’s Express Car Wash from going in near the neighborhood. Why it was initially approved, no one knows. But clearly, whoever decided that you could put a car wash near a gated community wants children to die.

“I’m worried about the kids going to the bus stop. They’re gonna be walking down this road with these big trucks you saw going by, and people flying in and out to go to the car wash,” Barb Vickers, a resident in the Jonathan’s Bay gated community, told WINK News.

Another neighbor, Terry Rehnborg, said he was concerned about noise. “There are decibel ratings and ordinances that we have here that limit the amount of noise you can make and how far away that noise can be,” he told WINK News, “and I think it’s somewhere between 60 to 80 decibels.”

And he has a point. When a WINK News reporter visited a different Tommy’s Express Car Wash, they found that the sound of the vacuums could reach 70 db. That’s loud enough that Jonathan’s Bay residents might possibly maybe be able to hear them from their houses if they listen hard enough. That could be devastating to the gated community.

1. Really! Don't let them get away with this location,

Move that to a heavily trafficked area. Not a school zone.

3. Why these kind of nonsensical decisions get made.

Billionaire developers get whatever they want from crooked city governments, zoning commissions and city councils. Then the general public sits out the local elections, so it goes on and on.
