The Area

North Texas Natural Select Materials (NTNSM) has applied for a permit to build a permanent concrete crusher at 4513 S. Fannin Avenue, Denison, TX 75021. This site is located just 2.5 miles east of Texoma Medical Center hospital and is bordered by residential homes, a honeybee farm, and agricultural farms. It is situated in a scenic area of Grayson County, known for its gently rolling hills and old-growth trees. (Depending on the source, this road may be called Fannin Avenue, Fannin Street, or Fannin Road.)

Directions

According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the proposed facility can be accessed as follows:

  • From the intersection of Cleve Cole Road and Fannin Avenue, travel 0.42 miles north along Fannin Avenue.

  • The site entrance will be to the west.

Zoning and Current Use

  • Zoning: The site is located within an Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), not within the city limits of Denison or Sherman. ETJ areas generally lack city services and have fewer zoning regulations. This means there may be fewer restrictions on land use and development.

  • Current Use: For the last few years, this property has been used as a sand, topsoil, and select-fill yard. For more information about the applicant, visit Applicant.

DID YOU KNOW THAT NTNSM HAS ONLY ABOUT 1% OF THEIR LAND THEY CAN PUT A PERMANENT CONCRETE CRUSHER ON?

NTNSM owns nearly 150 acres at this location, but only about 1% of their land meets the requirements for this permit. Although this permit allows for a moveable concrete crusher, the equipment must be positioned at least 440 yards away from homes, significantly restricting its location on this property.

The yellow pins on this map indicate possible locations for the concrete crusher equipment. The red circles represent the 440-yard offset zones, showing that houses are too close for the equipment to be placed within these circles.

The precise location for the proposed Concrete Crushing can be found on Grayson County Appraisal District’s website: Grayson CAD – Official Site
