I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANYONE HAS ABOUT THIS ZONING. IT IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAD A LOTS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY ZONED R 1 AND THE

[00:10:01]

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU MR. BURKHART.

A QUESTION FROM COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS.

REYNOLDS REYNOLDS YES, MR. BURKHART, I JUST HAVE A CONCERN FOR THE TRAFFIC ON WHITFIELD.

I DRIVE UP AND DOWN THAT ROAD EVERY DAY GOING TO AND FROM WORK AND WHEN I COME HOME IN THE EVENING, THE TRAFFIC IS BACKED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE FOUR-WAY STOP SOMETIMES.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO HELP MANAGE THAT TRAFFIC OR HAS THERE BEEN A TRAFFIC STUDY OR SUGGESTION FOR AMENDING THAT LIGHT. I HAVE CONCERNS BECAUSE THAT ROAD IS PRETTY MUCH MAXED OUT IN THE EVENINGS.

>> I BELIEVE IT IS IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR FOR SOME LAMP IMPROVEMENTS.

ALSO THAT ROUNDABOUT THAT TIES BACK IN ON WHITFIELD THAT WOULD BE -- IT WOULD GO PAST TRACY, IF MY -- IF MY MEMORY IS CORRECT. BUT THIS IS ONLY TWO LOTS -- THREE LOTS, I MEAN. THREE LOTS.

SO IT IS NOT MAYOR. WE WILL HAVE A LARGE -- NOT A LARGE BUT FAIRLY GOOD-SIZED APARTMENT COMPLEX NOW.

AND THE BEST -- THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR THIS PROPERTY IS ABSOLUTELY, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO GET --

>> MAYOR PITTS: COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS REYNOLDS REYNOLDS

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> MAYOR PITTS: A SIGNIFICANT ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IN THE BUDGET AND HOPEFULLY SOON UNDER WAY IF WE CAN GET AT&T TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.

THANK YOU. COUNCILPERSON SMITH.

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>WANDA SMITH: THANK YOU, HELLO, MR. BURKHART, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> I AM GOOD, HOW ARE YOU? >>WANDA SMITH: GOOD TO SEE YOU. ON THIS LOT -- YOU SAID THREE LOTS, ARE THESE GOING TO BE HOMES OR APARTMENTS?

>> THEY ARE APARTMENTS. THERE WILL BE 12 TOTAL UNITS.

WE HAVE 44 IN THERE -- IN THIS DEVELOPMENT ALREADY.

AND THIS IS A CUL-DE-SAC THAT RUNS OFF OF THAT SO AN ADDITIONAL 12 UNITS. THE TOPOGRAPHY IN THE BACK OF IT HAS SO MUCH THAT YOU COULD NEVER GET A R 1 DEVELOPMENT IN. SO THE BEST USE OF THIS IS THIS LITTLE CUL-DE-SAC THAT WILL GENERATE NICE TAX DOLLARS

FOR THE CITY. >>WANDA SMITH: SOUNDS GOOD.

WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY -- I KNOW THAT THE ROUNDABOUT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPENING. MAYOR, CAN YOU SPEAK OF THAT

ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUT? >> MAYOR PITTS: I CAN.

WE ARE WAITING ON A PARTICULAR UTILITY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY.

AND ONCE THEY GET OUT OF THE WAY, THEN WE CAN START CONSTRUCTION. IT WILL TAKE ABOUT TWO YEARS TO COMPLETE THAT PROJECT, BUT THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THAT WILL GO FROM JUST PAST TRACY LANE -- ALMOST DOWN TO PRUITT LANE ON WHITFIELD ACROSS 101ST TO PICK UP WHITFIELD. AND IT WILL GO PAST THE INTERSECTION OF WHITFIELD AND NEEDMORE.

AND IT WILL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN THE TRAFFIC

THERE IN THAT SCHOOL AREA. >>WANDA SMITH: SOUNDS --

>> MAYOR PITTS: THAT IS IN THE BUDGET.

IF WE CAN GET THAT UTILITY OUT OF THE WAY, WE WILL GET

STARTED. >>WANDA SMITH: JUST A UTILITY

POLE OR WIRES -- >> MAYOR PITTS: NOT A POLE.

UNDERGROUND AND A LOT TO IT AND WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET

THEM TO MOVE ON. >>WANDA SMITH: OKAY, THANK

YOU. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU.

IS THAT IS IT? >>WANDA SMITH: THAT'S IT.

>> MAYOR PITTS: ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. BURKHART? THANK YOU, MR. BURKHART.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> MAYOR PITTS: NO ONE REGISTERED TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF 56.

I ASSUME YOU ARE ONE COUNTRY TWO.

IF YOU WOULD, YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES.

GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. >> YES, SIR, MY NAME IS LUKE STAIR. MY BROTHER MICHA WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT. 261 CALDWELL LANE.

>> MAYOR PITTS: YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES SIR.

>> OKAY. YES, SIR, WE -- WE ARE ABOUT TWO MONTHS INTO RENOVATIONS OF THE HOUSE LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY. AND WE WANT TO SUBDIVIDE

[00:15:03]

WE FEEL LIKE IT IS A BETTER USE OF THE LAND TO TRY TO UTILIZE THAT LAND TO HELP US OUT THERE.

AND WE ARE CURRENTLY R-2 AND WOULD LIKE TO REZONE IT TO R-6 AND WE FEEL IT IS BETTER UTILIZATION OF THE LAND THERE.

AND THE SURROUNDING AREA IS C-2 WHICH ALLOWS TO MULTIFAMILY AND FITS WELL INTO THE AREA AND ALSO WE ARE AWARE WITH THE CHANGE FROM R 2 TO R 6, WE WOULD -- WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES OR ANY COST FOR RUNNING WIRE

LINES. >> MAYOR PITTS: ARE YOU

FROZEN UP, MR. STAIR? >> I DON'T THINK SO.

>> MAYOR PITTS: YOU ARE GOOD. ANYTHING ELSE, MR. STAIR?

>> NO, SIR. DID YOU CATCH THE LAST BIT OF

THAT? >> MAYOR PITTS: YES, WE DID.

YES, WE DID. ANY MEMBER OF COUNCIL HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. STAIR. SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU, SIR. YOUR BROTHER, MICHA IS UNABLE

TO BE HERE. >> HE WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND

TONIGHT. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NO ONE REGISTERED TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO ORDINANCE 58. WE ARE NOW READY FOR ITEM 5, 59-2020-21 AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND MAN OF THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE OF MSI HOMES. MR. SHAWN BERNER HAS REGISTERED TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 59.

MR. BERNER, PLEASE APPROACH THE MICROPHONE.

GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES.

>> SHAWN BERNER, LUCY COURT. AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT OUR REZONING.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, WILL BERNER, ANY MEMBER OF COUNCIL HAVE A QUESTION WITH MR. BERNER ABOUT ORDINANCE 59.

SEEING NONE. DID YOU A GOOD JOB, MR. PERSON

PERSON WITHER, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR PITTS: ALL RIGHT, NOW RIGHT SIDE FOR ITEM SIX, ORDINANCE 60-2020-21 AMENDING THE ZONING MAP OF LC SIMPSON ET AL. THREE PEOPLE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR AND TWO PEOPLE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST.

MR. SYD HEDRICK. GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

>> MY NAME IS SYD HEDRICK, 2 2006 HIDDEN MEADOWS DRIVE OUT OF TENNESSEE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN SEE MY PANTS THAT MY WIFE MADE ME IRON A CREASE IN THEM BEFORE I CAME TONIGHT.

SERIOUSLY, I KNOW EACH OF YOU REPRESENT A CERTAIN SET OF CONSTITUENTS IN YOUR WARD AND CHANGE OF ZONING IN AN AREA IS EMOTIONAL, BUT THESE CONSTITUENTS HAVE ELECTED YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE EQUIPPED TO MAKE HARD DECISION THAT'S WILL BE BEST FOR THE OVERALL COMMUNITY AND THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WAS CONTACTED BY A LOCAL ATTORNEY TO HELP SELL THE PROPERTY, I HAVE COME TO DETERMINE THAT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE PROPERTY WAS FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AS A REAL ESTATE BROKER AND CERTIFIED REAL ESTATE APPRAISER. AND TO DETERMINE THE FACT THAT THE PROPERTY IS CONSIDERED A INFILL DEVELOPMENT.

IT HAS BEEN OVER 100 ACRES. MAKES IT AN UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY DEVELOPER IN CLARKSVILLE TO SUPPORT A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. URBAN SPRAWL, PLANNING AND ZONING TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. AND IN THE CASE OF THIS PROPERTY, POTENTIALLY REVERSE ZONINGS THAT MAY BE DETRIMENT TO AN AREA. PORTION BEING REQUESTED FOR REZONING IS ZONED N-2. CAN ALLOW A QUARRY WHICH IS PREVIOUSLY USED IN ON THE PROPERTY AND OTHER INDUSTRIAL USES SUCH AS WAREHOUSING AND MANUFACTURING WHICH WOULD INCREASE TRUCK TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD.

DEFINITELY MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA IS A DESIRABLE RESIDENTIAL AREA OVER THE LAST 40, 45 YEARS.

REFERENCING THAT THE DOWNZONING IS IRRELEVANT BECAUSE NOTHING ON THE PROPERTY FOR ALL THOSE YEARS.

THAT IS BECAUSE THERE IS A LEASE ON PROPERTY AS FAR BACK AS 1970 PUT ON.BY LOCAL MATERIALS WHICH BASICALLY CLOSED THAT QUARRY DOWN SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY COMPETITION. THE LEASE EXPIRED IN OCTOBER OF 2020. AND THE PROPERTY WAS INTENDED TO BE SOLD WHETHER REZONED OR NOT.

INFILL DEVELOPMENT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO CLARKSVILLE'S CURRENT REAL ESTATE MARKET. TODAY, THERE ARE 375 HOMES ON THE MARKET. 282 OF THOSE ARE NEW CONSTRUCTION. ACCORDING TO A CONVERSATION I HAD WITH JEFF TINDEL OF THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION,

[00:20:03]

TO SUPPORT ZONING, ESPECIALLY INFILL ZONING WHERE IT IS JUST A GOOD PLACE TO PUT IT. TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO CONCERNS TO TRAFFIC AND DRAINAGE AND THE DEVELOPER WILL SPEAK TO THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF. I WANT TO REFERENCE CONCERNS OVER SCHOOL CROWDING. CURRENTLY IT AREA IS SERVICED BY THE SCHOOL COMPLEX AND SHOULD IN ZONING BE SUCCESSFUL A TWO TO THREE-YEAR PERIOD TO PUT IN THE SUBDIVISION AND THE DEVELOPMENT. THE KIRKWOOD COMPLEX -- YOU I AM NOT SURE THAT IT IS FORMALLY NAMED THAT BUT THE KIRKWOOD COMPLEX IS SLATED FOR BUILDING BETWEEN 2022 AND 2 2024. THOSE WILL DEFINITELY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER AS THEY ALLEVIATE OVERCROWDING IN THE CURRENT SCHOOL COMPLEX. FURTHERMORE, A NEW VIRTUAL SCHOOL OPTION OF WHICH MY WIFE IS THE DIRECTOR AND A PERMANENT FIXTURE IN THE DISTRICT.

NOT AS A RESULT OF COVID-19 A SCHOOL THAT HAS BEEN STARTED AND CURRENTLY 10,000 OF THE DISTRICT'S 36,000 STUDENTS ARE REGISTERED FOR VIRTUAL SCHOOL. IN CLOSING, I ASK THAT YOU GIVE CONSIDERATION TO THIS REQUEST FOR A MYRIAD OF REASONS I HAVE PROVIDED THERE, ALL OF WHICH HAVE POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR THE RESIDENTS AND THE GROWTH OF CLARKSVILLE.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, MR. HED RICK.

WE HAVE A QUESTION. COUNCILPERSON STREETMAN.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. HEDRICK?

>> STACEY STREETMAN: YES, I DO.

MR. HEDRICK. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING TON TONIGHT. BEING THE AGENT AND REAL ESTATE BROKER FOR THIS PROPERTY.

IF WE WERE NOT TO PASS THIS ZONING REQUEST TONIGHT AND IT STAYED AS M-2, DO YOU FEEL IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SELL THIS AS IT CURRENTLY IS TO SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN OPENING THE QUARRY OR LOOKING AT SOME OTHER MANUFACTURING OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THAT

RESIDENTIAL AREA? >> WELL, I WILL DEFINITELY -- SHOULD IT NOT BE SUCCESSFUL, THE PROPERTY WILL REMAIN LISTED FOR SALE. AND I WILL, AGAIN, OBVIOUSLY USE THINGS LIKE CO-START WHICH IS NATIONWIDE DATABASES TO MARKET THE PROPERTY WHETHER IT BE NOW FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR IF NOT SUCCESSFUL, IT WOULD BE FOR INDUSTRIAL USE WHICH IS ABOUT 60 OR 70 ACRES ZONED

INDUSTRIAL. >> STACEY STREETMAN: ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE AS -- THAT YOU ARE ALSO A REAL ESTATE APPRAISER. SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE WERE GIVEN FROM THE COU COUNCILPERSON FOR THAT WARD WAS THAT THE PROPERTY -- THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA THEIR PROPERTY VALUE WOULD DECREASE. AS AN APPRAISER, THEY WOULD DECREASE BECAUSE OF THE TOWN HOMES BEING BUILT IN THE AREA.

AS AN APPRAISER, DOES THE TOWN HOMES BEING THERE HAVE AN EFFECT ON THEIR PROPERTY VA VALUES?

>> THEY WILL NOT HAVE AN EFFECT BECAUSE THEY ARE -- YOU ARE CALLING THEM TOWN HOMES. THAT IS THE STYLE OF HOME THEY WILL BE. BUT WE ALLOW FOR WHAT IS CALLED A HORIZONTAL PROPERTY REGIME.

A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING WITH ATTACH RESIDENCES.

SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE IN GROWING CITIES, YOU KNOW, WHERE PLACES, YOU KNOW, REQUIRE A LITTLE BIT MORE DENSITY TO COVER ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN THE AREA. SO THOSE AREN'T GOING TO HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THAT -- ON THE AREA.

THEY ARE JUST GOING TO OFFER PROBABLY MORE LIKE ANSWER TREE LEVEL PURCHASE OPTION AND THERE WILL BE AT THE R-1 SECTION, MORE LIKE YOUR STANDARD, YOU KNOW, STANDARD GRADE HOME AND THEN R 6 COULD OFFER ENTRY LEVEL OR HOMES FOR

RETIREES. >> STACEY STREETMAN: THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWERS.

>> MAYOR PITTS: MR. HEDRICK, STAND BY.

WE HAVE MORE QUESTIONS FOR Y YOU.

COUNCILPERSON LITTLE, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> DAJUAN LITTLE: YES, FOR THIS ZONING IF IT WERE TO BE APPROVED, DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA AND PLAN WHERE YOU WILL START

BUILDING, IN THE R-5 OR R-1? >> I BELIEVE THAT MR. POWERS, ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS IS HERE TONIGHT AND HE WILL SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF.

>> DAJUAN LITTLE: OKAY. >> MAYOR PITTS: ANYTHING ELSE

COUNCILPERSON LITTLE? >> DAJUAN LITTLE: NO.

>> MAYOR PITTS: COUNCILPERSON SMITH.

SMITH THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE INFORMATION YOU BROUGHT US TO TONIGHT. MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY LOTS OF ACRES AND HOW MANY -- I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO BUILD, LIKE, SOME APARTMENTS OR -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BUILD EXACTLY, BUT I THINK I AM HEARING YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE TOWNHOMES. HOW MANY WOULD YOU BE PUTTING

[00:25:02]

ON THE LOTS? >> I THINK A BETTER DESCRIPTION OF THE TOWNHOMES AS OPPOSED TO APARTMENTS ARE CONDOMINIUMS, INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP USE AND I BELIEVE MR. POWELL WILL SPEAK TO THIS, BUT AROUND 148 CONDOMINIUMS AND 160 AND 165 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON INDIVIDUAL LOTS.

SMITH OKAY, THANK YOU. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> MAYOR PITTS: ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON SMITH.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS OF MR. HEDED.

RICK. THANK YOU, MR. HEDRICK.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> MAYOR PITTS: A REQUEST THAT JIMMY BAGWELL SPEAK BEFORE MR. BRICE POWELL.

GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES.

>> JIMMY BAGWELL, 17 SHERWOOD DRIVE, CLARKSVILLE.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS A COUPLE OF ITEMS AND THEN I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

FIRST THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS DRAINAGE.

WE ARE CURRENTLY AWARE THAT THERE IS A FLOODING ISSUE ON OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE. WE HAVE LOOKED AT THIS.

THERE IS A CULVERT THAT IS UNDERSIZED THAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT AND WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN SOLVE THAT PROBLEM BY REDIRECTING ALL OF THE WATER CURRENTLY DRAINS TO OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE AWAY FROM OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE AND INTO OUR DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT PROBLEM SHOULD GO A AWAY. THE SECOND THING DRAINAGE RELATED IS PROPERTY IS ABOUT 10% OF IT IS IN THE FL FLOODPLAIN. ALL OF THAT 10% WILL BE IN COMMON AREA. WE ARE NOT IN LOTS.

IN FACT, I THINK BASED ON CURRENT PLAN, THE LATEST HOUSE WILL BE OVER 50 FEET. BUT THE 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN.

SO YOU DON'T SEE THAT FEMA FLOODPLAIN BEING AN ISSUE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. THE SECOND THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS IS TRAFFIC. WE DID THE TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT FOR THIS REZONING. WE LOOKED AT TWO THINGS IN PARTICULAR. FIRST THING THAT WE DID, WAS LOOK AT THE CAPACITY OF OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE.

AND CURRENTLY BASED ON EXISTING TRAFFIC COUNTS, IT IS RUNNING AT ABOUT 17% OF CAPACITY.

WITH THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS ZONED THAT CAPACITY WILL INCREASE TO ROUGHLY 22%. SO ABOUT A 5% INCREASE IN TRAFFIC, BUT AS I SAID 22% IS MORE THAN NOW PASS OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE FROM A TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STANDPOINT. THE SECOND THING WE LOOKED AT AS FAR AS TRAFFIC GOES, WE COMPARED WHAT THE POTENTIAL TRAFFIC GENERATED FROM THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WOULD CREATE. AND WE COMPARED IT TO WHAT A DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING.

WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING 165 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS AND 150 CONDOMINIUMS. IN THE TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT WE USED 150. IF YOU LOOK AT PROPOSED ZONING, WE LOOKED UNDER THE ZONING WITH DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A QUARRY, A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, A CONCRETE PLAT.

SEVERAL THINGS. MANUFACTURING BUT WHATEVER THAT ENDS UP BEING, CREATED THAT IN TWO ZONING AND THE ADDITIONAL REZONED PROPERTY. AND IT IS ABOUT 138 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON THIS PROPERTY NOW AS ZONED.

AND PLUS THE MANUFACTURING COMPONENT.

WHEN YOU COMPARE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE PEAK HOUR IS ALMOST IDENTICAL. IT REALLY HAS NO EFFECT DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY WE DO THAT.

SO JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE

[00:30:03]

WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THAT. >> THANK YOU, MR. BAGWELL.

ANYBODY HAVE A QUESTION OF MR. BAGWELL.

COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>>WANDA SMITH: THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE INFORMATION MR. BAGWELL. I HAVE A QUESTION.

HOW FAR IS THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT FROM THAT QUARRY? I THINK I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT A QUARRY OVER THERE THAT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN IN THAT AREA IF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS BUILT. SO HOW FAR IS THE -- THE QUARRY FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT?

>> SO THE QUARRY SITS NEAR THE RED RIVER.

I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, BUT ROUGHLY I WOULD SAY 200 TO 250 FEET WILL BE A NORMAL DISTANCE THAT WOULD BE KEPT THE LOTS OR CONDOMINIUMS FROM THE AREA.

WE ALSO DO INTEND TO FENCE COMPLETELY THE QUARRY AREA.

>>WANDA SMITH: THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY NEXT QUESTION.

THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THAT. PUT UP A BUFFER AND HOW YOU COULD MAKE THAT SAFE. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR PITTS: YOU ARE GOOD. COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS.

REYNOLDS REYNOLDS HELLO, I AM COUNCILPERSON KAREN REYNOLDS AND I REPRESENT THE DISTRICT AND LOIT OF E-MAILS BACK AND FORTH. I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS HERITAGE DRIVE. DO YOU PLAN TO USE HERITAGE DRIVE IN YOUR -- TO COME IN AND OUT OF THE NEW

NEIGHBORHOOD? >> YES, MA'AM, WE WOULD GO OUT TO HERITAGE DRIVE. IT WILL NOT BE THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE IN AND OUT OF THE PROPERTY, BUT IT WILL PROVIDE A SECONDARY ENTRANCE AND WAY TO GET.

>> I NOTED THAT HERITAGE DRIVE WAS NOT THE TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT WHEN WE COMPLETED IT. THAT IS A VERY SLEEPY RESIDENTIAL ROAD WITH NO SIDEWALKS AND ANY ADDITION -- ADDITIONAL CARS DOWN ANY LENGTH OF THAT ROAD WOULD BE REALLY PUTTING MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AT RISK WHERE THEY ARE USED TO BEING ABLE TO WALK IN THE ROADS AND NOW WE HAVE PROBABLY 100 TO 200 CARS MORE A DAY GOING UP AND DOWN THAT ROAD. I WOULD BE CONCERNED THERE WAS NOT A PLAN TO AT LEAST INSTALL SIDEWALKS.

>> MAYOR PITTS: DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION, COUNCILPERSON

REYNOLDS OF MR. BAGWELL? >> I LOST HIM, I THINK.

>> MAYOR PITTS: DID WE LOSE HIM?

>> I'M HERE. >> YOU I WAS WONDERING A PLAN TO DO THAT. OR AT LEAST THE HOMES AT THE END OF THE PROPERTY, AT THE CUL-DE-SAC THAT YOU WILL BE

GOING THROUGH. >> WELL, FEW SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT. HERE ANY SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE HERITAGE ESTATE SUBDIVISION WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THE STREET DEPARTMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY.

>> AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS FROM OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE, FOR FUTURE EXPANSION OF US ARE RUSS PIKE? ON -- -- RUSSELLVILLE PIKE? YOU WILL NOT HAVE HOUSES GOING ON AND OFF OF US ARE RUSS P PIKE? THEY WILL EITHER COME THROUGH HERITAGE OR THE ACCESS ROAD

FROM OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE? >> THAT'S CORRECT.

WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY DRIVEWAYS ON OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE. EVERYTHING WOULD BE INTERNAL TO THE SUBDIVISION, AND WE ALSO WOULD HAVE A MINIMUM OF 30-FOOT BUFFER BETWEEN OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE AND THE

NEAREST WALK. >> AND I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT TRAFFIC STUDY. I DON'T KNOW WHO -- IF THAT'S LIKE NOT -- I AM SORRY, I DON'T KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE TRAFFIC STUDY. >> MAYOR PITTS: MR. BAGWELL DID THE TRAFFIC STUDY. YOU CAN ASK HIM.

>> I WASN'T SURE WHO WAS -- SORRY.

SO I WAS -- THE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT WAS PROVIDED TO ONE OF MY RESIDENTS EARLIER TODAY HAS THE SAME DATE AS THE ONE THAT IS IN THE -- IN OUR AGENDA, BUT IT DOESN'T MATCH, SO I DID HAVE SOME CONCERNS. SOME OF IT HAS BEEN CLEANED UP, BUT AT ONE POINT THEY REFER TO OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE AS A HIGHWAY. AND ANOTHER POINT, THEY REFER TO OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE AS A URBAN -- URBAN COLLECTOR.

[00:35:01]

HIGHWAY. >> WELL, THE STREET DEPARTMENT HAS A MAP THAT BASICALLY CLASSIFIES EVERY ROAD WITHIN THE CITY. OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE IS CONSIDERED AN URBAN COLLECTOR ROAD.

IT IS MORE OF A SLANG TERM, I GUESS COULD YOU SAY.

IT IS NOT A CLASSIFICATION WITHIN THE CITY'S MAP.

>> AND -- AND JUST -- SO THE PUBLIC AN EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT THE TIMES AND THE -- THE -- THE ACTUAL REVIEW WAS DONE ONLY 4:30 TO 6:30 ON MONDAY DECEMBER 14 AND TUESDAY DECEMBER 15 IN THE EVENINGS.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN COVID WITH SLOWER TIMES AND LESS TRAFFIC. THAT WAS POINTED OUT.

AND THEN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS A BIG CHANGE WAS A FORM THAT WE GOT INDICATED THAT YOU INITIALLY USED A CRITICAL GAP IN THE FIELD FROM JUNE 2015.

IT HAS BEEN CHANGED HERE. SO I AM NOT SURE WHICH NUMBER IS CORRECT, BUT I WOULD HAVE A CONCERN IF IT WAS ACTUALLY DONE IN JUNE 2015 AND JUST RECALCULATED.

>> WOMAN. IT WAS NOT.

THAT IS A TYPO IN THE ORIGINAL TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT.

IT WAS COLLECTED IN DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR.

>> OKAY. AND I JUST -- IT JUST SAYS THAT OLD RUSSELLVILLE, CAVE ROAD, DUNBAR CAVE ROAD ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE PROPOSED REZONING REQUEST.

I MEAN, THEY WILL BE AFFECTED. I MEAN, WE CAN SAY AS A COMMITTEE WHETHER WE THINK IT IS ENOUGH TO NOT APPROVE THIS, BUT WE SHOULD NOT JUST SAY THAT THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY CHANGE, AND TRAFFIC IS NOT GOING TO SLOW DOWN AND LIFE IN THE RESIDENTS IN THOSE AREAS AREN'T GOING TO CHANGE.

>> MAYOR PITTS: ANOTHER QUESTION FOR MR. BAGWELL.

>> THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> MAYOR PITTS: COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS. COUNCILPERSON LITTLE.

>> DAJUAN LITTLE: GOOD EVENING, MR. BAGWELL.

A DOCUMENT ON PAGE 82. CAN YOU CONFIRM SECTION A.

MY CONCERN IS AROUND THE FLOODING AND I THINK YOU SPOKE TO IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CONFIRM SURROUNDING THE FLOODING AREA. BECAUSE OF THE RIVER, IT LOOKS LIKE NONE OF THE PROPERTY WILL BE A PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT WHERE THE RESIDENCES WILL BE LOCATED.

CAN YOU CON FIRM THAT? >> YES, SIR.

THE AREA OF THE PROPERTY THAT FALLS WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN WILL ALL BE IN COMMON AREA. SO NONE OF THE LOTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE 100-YEAR FLOOD ELEVATION.

>> DAJUAN LITTLE: OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON RICHMOND.

COUNCILPERSON LITTLE? >> DAJUAN LITTLE: ABOUT THE FLOODING, THE ROADS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE HOUSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WILL THERE BE TRAVELING

THROUGH THE FLOOD AREA? >> NO, THEY WILL NOT.

THE FLOOD AREA ACTUALLY IS -- IS -- IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROPERTY, MOST IS ON A BLUFF, SO THE RED RIVER IS ACTUALLY ALMOST 80 FEET BELOW MOST OF THE PROPERTY.

SO ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT IS WELL ABOVE THE 100-YEAR FLOOD

PLAIN. >> DAJUAN LITTLE: THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON LITTLE.

ANY OTHER MEMBER OF COUNCIL HAVE A QUESTION OF MR. BAG BAGWELL. HEARING NONE, SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU, MR. BAGWELL. NEXT UP MR. BRYCE POWERS.

PLEASE APPROACH THE MICROPHONE AND GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS

AND YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. GREENPACE PARTNERS.

CLARKSVILLE. I WANT TO TOUCH ON A FEW THINGS TONIGHT. WE UNDERSTAND THE RESIDENTS OF THE AREA PREFER THAT THE PROPERTY REMAIN AS IT IS TODAY. THE REALITY IS THAT IT WILL NOT. AS MR. HEDED.

RICK STATED, THE OWNERS NO LONGER ENCUMBERED BY THE LEASE. AND NOW THEY ARE READY TO S SELL. TO SELL SOMEONE LIKE MY PARTNERSHIP GROUP THAT WANTS TO DEVELOP IT AS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TO MEET THE GROWING NEEDS OF CLARKSVILLE OR SELL IT TO AN INDUSTRIAL USER FOR ANY OF THE INDUSTRIAL USES, MANUFACTURING, W WAREHOUSES AS HAVE BEEN STATED BEFORE. OR IT CAN BE SOLD FOR A NEW

[00:40:03]

WE FEEL THE BEST WAY TO PRESERVE THIS LOOK AND FEEL OF THE PROPOSED REZONING TO BRING EVERYTHING ON THIS PROPERTY TO A RESIDENTIAL DICK STRICT AND REMOVING THE 70-PLUS ACRE OF INDUSTRIAL ZONE. AS YOU KNOW OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE, THE LARGEST LOTS, R-6 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY WHICH IS A STEP DOWN IN LOT SIZE AND R-5 IN TWO LOCATIONS ON THE HIGH BLUFF OVERLOOKING THE RED RIVER TOWARD DOWNTOWN, AND THE AREA WHERE THE BANK CLUBHOUSE IS -- CURRENTLY IS.

THIS PROVIDES FOR A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES THAT PROVIDES FOR TRANSITION OF DENSITY IN HERMITAGE ESTATES.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTICE THAT THE R-5 MS. MR. HEDRICK SAID FOR OWNER-OCCUPIED TOWN HOMES. FINANCED AS SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THEY ARE NOT APARTMENTS AND ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE RENTED. A RESTRICTED ZONE DISTRICT.

YOU GUYS DON'T SEE THIS A WHOLE LOT AND THIS IS WHY WE SELECTED IT. WE WANTED THIS RESTRICTION FOR THIS PROJECT TO BE IN KIND WITH THE NEIGHBORS AROUND.

I THINK ALL OF HAVE YOU SEEN THAT LAYOUT PLAN REFERENCED A TIME OR TWO. 165 HOMES AND 148 TOWN HOMES.

313 TOTAL UNITS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT.

THIS IS ON ROUGHLY 110 ACRES. THAT IS 2.85 UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS MORE THAN A TRADITIONAL R-1 DEVELOPMENT WHEN YOU TAKE THE PROPERTY AS A WHOLE.

AS PART THAT DEVELOPMENT AND THE REASON WE DON'T GET MAX DENSITY IS THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE THAT WITH ROUGHLY 65 ACRES THAT INCLUDES THE QUARRY AREA THAT WILL BE PROTECTED OR THE PHYSICAL BARRIER AS NOTED BEFORE.

AND THAT 65 ACRES WILL REMAIN AS IS AND BE DEDICATED TO THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION THAT WILL BE IN PLACE.

AND BE ALLOWED FOR THE CONTINUED USE OF WILDLIFE, RECREATION, EVERYTHING THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT.

AND AS MENTIONED BEFORE THAT INCLUDES THE 30 PLUS OR MINUS FEET OF OLD RUSSELLVILLE AS WELL.

WE FEEL THIS IS A GREAT INFIELD PROJECT.

A LITTLE BIGGER THAN WHAT WOULD YOU NORMALLY SEE OF A INFILL PROJECT THAT WE SEE IS AN INFILL PROJECT THAT HELPS THE URBAN SPRAWL IN THE COMMUNITY.

KEY GROWTH WITHIN THE CURRENT FOOTPRINT OF CITY SERVICES WHICH IS IMPORTANT AS WELL AND WILL NOT REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL CITY DOLLARS TO BE INCREASE SUCH AS ANNEXATION MIGHT BE. THE GROWTH OF CLARKSVILLE IS STRONG, AS YOU ALL KNOW. AND A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT IN HOME CONSTRUCTION. WE IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT DEVELOPMENT OF HOME CONSTRUCTION IS RESPONSE OF GROWTH NOT A DRAG ON THAT GROWTH.

WE HOPE TO BE A COURTEOUS AND RESPONSIBLE NEIGHBOR TO THE CURRENT RESIDENTIAL AND A DEVELOPMENT THAT WE ARE PROUD OF M-2 ZONING DISTRICT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLARKSVILLE AREA. WITH RESPECT, I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE OF APPROVAL ON THIS ASK AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT

YOU HAVE. >> MAYOR PITTS: WE HAVE A COUPLE OF COUNCILMEMBERS TO ASK QUESTIONS.

COUNCILWOMAN STREETMAN, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> STACEY STREETMAN: THANK YOU, MR. POWERS FOR SPEAKING US TO TONIGHT. ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAD TWO NIGHTS GO WAS WAS THE EFFECT THE ZONING COULD HAVE ON TRAFFIC. AND SOME ASSISTANCE WE HAVE RECEIVED IN THE PAST AS FAR AS DHEECHLTS COME ALONG AND POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE THAT NOT ONLY HELP WITH THINGS AS THEY STAND TODAY, BUT DEFINITELY ASSIST WITH ANY ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC. I REALIZE THIS IS ALREADY Z ZONED WHERE 138 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES CAN BE BUILT, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE CONDOS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ADDITIONAL MAYBE 30 MORE HOMES WOULD ADD SOME MORE TRAFFIC.

DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP OUT WITH THIS ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC BY MAYBE ADDING SOMETHING LIKE A DECELERATION LANE OR SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF THAT?

>> I THINK WE COULD. WE HAVE THE BUFFER WE SPOKE OF AND HAVE THE SPACE TO FIT THAT IN AND THAT SEEMS LIKE A REASONABLE REQUEST TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT TO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE.

WE WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THAT AND THAT OBVIOUSLY WOULD HAPPEN AT THE PRIMARY PLAT STAGE AND WE ARE WILLING TO

COMMIT TO THAT TONIGHT. >> STACEY STREETMAN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON STREETMAN.

COUNCILPERSON KNIGHT, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>>JASON KNIGHT: THANK YOU. I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION OF THE OVERWHELMING OPPOSITION OF THE CITY IN REGARD TO SAFETY AND TRAFFIC CONCERNS. HAVE YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO

[00:45:01]

PARTICULAR REZONING MEASURE? >> WE HAVE COMMUNICATED THROUGH SYD HEDRICK THROUGH COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS AND LETTING HER KIND OF BEING THE VOICE TO THE REST DENTS ASKING QUESTIONS. OTHER THAN THAT I SPOKE TO THE TWO GENTLEMEN THAT YOU WILL HEAR FROM JUST BEFORE THE

MEETING. >> THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON KNIGHT.

COUNCILPERSON LITTLE, DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?

>> DAJUAN LITTLE: YES. MR. POWERS, THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, WHERE WILL YOU START IN THE REZONING, R 1 OR R 5?

>> I AM SORRY, DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT.

IF THE ZONING IS SUCCESSFUL, WE GO STRAIGHT INTO ENGINEERING AND DESIGN FOR THE R-1 PORTION FIRST AND TRANSITION INTO THE R-6 AND PROBABLY THE R-5 LAST.

WE SEE THIS AS A TWO TO TH THREE-YEAR DEVELOPMENT PRO PROJECT. AND WILL NEED THE PROPER

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AS WELL. >> DAJUAN LITTLE: OKAY.

FOR THE -- WHEN YOU MAKE IT TO THE R-5, DO YOU SEE THAT AS BEING SOMETHING A YEAR OUT OR TWO YEARS OUT?

>> I MEAN, I WOULD SAY WE ARE PROBABLY TWO YEARS BEFORE ANY TOWN HOME CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN.

>> DAJUAN LITTLE: OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON LITTLE.

ANYBODY ELSE? HEARING NONE, SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU, MR. POWERS. >> THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR PITTS: READY FOR THE TWO CITIZENS TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 60. MR. DAVID WINTERS IS UP FIRST.

MR. WINTERS, PLEASE APPROACH THE MICROPHONE.

GIVE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE FIVE

MINUTES, SIR. >> I AM DAVID WINTERS.

GOOD EVENING COUNCIL AND MR. MAYOR.

YOU ALREADY KNOW ME. I AM A RETIRED NAVAL OFFICER AND LOCAL ATTORNEY. I RELIED ON INPUT FROM MY COMMUNITY FOR THESE COMMENTS. FOR THE EASE OF UNDERSTANDING FOR PUBLIC LISTENERS, THE TERM TOWN HOMES, ROOF TOPS AND INFILL WILL BE COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS SARDINE CAN HOUSING. RESULTING IN TOWN HOME HOUSING NEAR THE END OF OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE WILL DEMONSTRATE BAD PLANNING AND MUCH WORSE THAN NO PLANNING AT ALL. CURRENTLY ALL OF THE HOUSING SOUTH IS R-1. THE REASON FOR THIS IS OBVIOUS WITH CASUAL OBSERVATION. THE ENTIRE AREA HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH THAT POPULATION DENSITY IN MINDS FOR DECADES WHAT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY WAS DESIGNED TO SUCCESSFULLY ABSORB. WE CAN ADD INCOMPATIBLE PIECES AND EXPECT IT TO WORK. THE ENGINEERING REPORT HAS AN ERROR OF TRAFFIC LOAD. THE ENGINEER REPORT SAID TRAFFIC LOAD IN THIS AREA WAS INDUSTRIAL; HOWEVER, THE SO-CALLED INDUSTRY, STONE QUARRY HAS NOT EXISTED SINCE THE HERMITAGE ESTATES AND WERE OCCUPIED 30 YEARS AGO AND USED THE -- THE CURRENT TRAFFIC COUNT IS SKEWED DUE TO COVID AND MEANINGLESS AND MOOT. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS WILL TAKE SOME YEARS WILL COMPLETELY OVERLOAD THE TRAFFIC LOAD CAPABLE OF HANDLING IT DURING THAT TIME NOW BOTTOM LINE WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLY EQUIVALENT AND NO INDUSTRY TO REPLACE THE PROPOSED -- WITH THE HOUSING.

TRAFFIC WILL INCREASE AND REALLY NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT.

AND NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT ADDITIONAL INDUSTRY HAS ALREADY BEEN ADDED IN THE WAY OF SUB FARM.

WE CAN WHETHER I HAVE THAT AND THAT M-2 ZONING WOULD BE A TRADE-OFF FOR EQUIVALENT ZONING IS NOT VALID.

NOW THE PROPOSED USE OF HERITAGE DRIVE TO ACCESS CAVE ROAD IS MAINLY A PAPER SOLUTION.

IT WILL NOT WORK FOR PRACTICAL APPLICATION BECAUSE K ROAD IS JUST ANOTHER SMALLER BOTTLENECK WITH LOWER SPEED LIMITS. NOBODY WOULD USE IT.

NOW TAKING THIS INTO PROPER CONSIDERATION, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE ADDITION OF THE PROPOSED HOUSING WOULD HOPELESSLY OVERLOAD THE TRAFFIC CAPACITY.

AND ON TOP OF THIS, OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE WITH ITS LIVING CAPACITY IS THE ONLY DIRECT ACCESS ROAD TO THE WILLOW BEND AND RIVERVIEW ESTATES COMMUNITY; HOWEVER, PROXIMITY TO THE RED RIVER AND ITS FLOODPLAIN TO THE ALREADY HOUSING HAS NO PRACTICAL MEANS OF EXPANSION FOR THAT ROAD.

IN SHORT, OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE IS AN OVERLOADED BO BOTTLENECK WITH NO MEANS OF RELIEF.

IT IS SMALLER THAN PRESENCE ROADS IN R-2 DEVELOPMENTS WHICH ARE EQUIVALENT. EVIDENCE TO DUNBAR ROAD IS

[00:50:04]

RIVER STATES FLOODED AND A PORTION OF OLD RUSSELLVILLE ALSO FLOODED AND LED TOO INTO THEM AND IMPASSIBLE.

THIS SITUATION ADISASTROUS AND E RECTIFIED AND IS NOT DRAI DRAINABLE. WATER SUPPLY.

THE WATER SUPPLY TO THIS COMMUNITY IS NOTORIOUS FOR BEING THE LOWEST IN CLARKSVILLE BY A LARGE MARGIN.

SHUT OFF OUR SCREEN? ARE WE GONE.

>> MAYOR PITTS: WE CAN HEAR THROUGH WINTERS.

YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE. >> OKAY.

SEVERAL YEARS OF THE FIRST COMPLEX WAS PROPOSED FOR HERE AND THEY WISELY CANCELLED IT WHEN THEY LEARNED ALL OF THE ABOVE. WAIT, THERE IS MORE.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THIS USED POPULATION DENSITY.

A REFUGE FOR WILDLIFE AND NO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY, NONE. TO UNDERTAKE GO THIS WITHOUT ONE IS LEGALLY FOOLHARDY. SCHOOL IMPACT, NOT THE DEVELOPER'S PROBLEM, YOUR PROBLEM.

THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY IS THOUGHTFULLY ADAPTED TO R-1, R-2. NOT A REALISTIC BOOTS ON GROUND. TOO MANY OBSTACLES.

WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT CITY PARK.

NOT ALL OF IT WITH TRAILS, PICNIC AREAS AND KAYAK.

PLEASE VOTE NO TO THIS CHANGE REQUEST.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, MR. WINTERS. ANY MEMBERS OF COUNCIL HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. WINTERS. HEARING NONE, SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU, SIR. MR. LUIS VELASQUEZ.

IF WOULD YOU PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND YOU

HAVE FIVE MINUTES, SIR. >> ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PITTS AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS.

MY NAME IS LUIS VELASQUEZ FROM 320 OLD DRIVE IN KLAVSHINGZ.

I'M HERE TO STATE MY OPPOSITION TO THE DEVELOPMENT ON OLD RUSSELLVILLE AND FANTASY LANE.

MANY HAVE E-MAILED NEW OPPOSITION AND ANOTHER 256 RESIDENTS HAVE SIGNED A PETITION TO OBJECT TO THE ZONING. PLANNING COMMISSION HAS INVESTIGATED THIS AREA INTO RESIDENTIAL HOUSING AND NOT ADEQUATELY LAID OUT TO GIVE RESIDENTS THE TOTALING OF THE FINAL PLANNING. THIS IMPACTS OVER 300-PLUS CURRENT RESIDENCES. ON TUESDAY, THE FIFTH OF JANUARY, 150 TO 190 LOTS ADD TO THAT DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE FIGURE AND THE REALITIES THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS LAID OUT A PLAN FOR OVER 300 UNITS.

WITH REGARD TO TRAFFIC ALONE, THE NEW HOUSING WILL HAVE A POTENTIAL OF AN ADDITIONAL 600 CARS ON OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE.

THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE BASED ON PLANNING FOR EACH RESIDENTS HAVING TWO CARS AND NOT TO MENTION ADDITIONAL CARS FOR TEENAGERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS -- OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. THE TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT IS S SKEWED FOR LOWER NUMBERS AND NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE AREA.

A LEVEL THREE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STREET DEPARTMENT OF CLARKSVILLE WILL BE BETTER SUITED TO COVER THE ROAD AND THE INTERSECTIONS OF OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE AND DUNBAR CAVE ROAD AND CAVE ROAD AND OLD DUNBAR CAVE ROAD INTERSECTIONS.

MORNING TRAFFIC ALONE LEADS TO GET TO PT WITH THE MILITARY, WORK, SCHOOL AND APPOINTMENTS -- AND APPOINTMENTS, DIFFICULT TO TRY TO MAKE LEFT TURNS ON TO DUNBAR CAVE ROAD.

HAVING MULTIPLE CARS AT INTERSECTION SEVEN OR MORE VEHICLES IN LINE TO TURN. THE IMPACT OF FURTHER RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES IS FAR WORSE THAN MANUFACTURING AND THE LIMITED NUMBER OF TRUCKS IT COULD BRING. WE OWE IT TO THE REST DENTS OF CLARKSVILLE TO PUT -- NOT TO PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE THAT IS SO OFTEN DONE YEARS PAST.

OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE IS A NARROW ROAD.

IT LACKS SHOULDERS, ONLY DITCHES ON SOME SIDES.

I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MANY OCCASIONS RUNNING ON OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE AND DUNBAR CAVE ROAD DOWN TO WARFIELD.

FATALITIES TO PEDESTRIANS AND SCHOOL CROSSINGS GUARDS ACROSS THE CITY CAN BE AVOIDED BY BETTER PLANNING.

IT IS UP TO THE COMMISSION TO AVOID MORE FATALITIES AND INJURIES. THE IMPACT OF POTENTIALLY 3 300-PLUS MORE SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN TO AN ALREADY

[00:55:02]

MY HIGH SCHOOL -- MY HIGH HIGH SCHOOLER LATELY FINDS OUT YOU THERE IS NOT AN AVAILABLE DRIVER ON MANY OCCASIONS AND WHEN SCHOOL IS OVER, SHE FINDS HERSELF WAITING THE CAFETERIA FOR ANOTHER BUS TO COMPLETE ITS ROUTE AND COME BACK TO THE HIGH SCHOOL AND PICK THEM UP. DRIVING KIDS TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING IS BECOME A NECESSITY TO GET THEM TO SCHOOL ON TIME AND KEEP THEM FROM HAVING T TEN-HOUR DAYS IN THE SCHOOL AND BUSES, THUS ADDING TO TRANSPORTATION ISSUES ACROSS THE CITY. IF YOU HAVE TRIED TO GET TO EXIT 8 BY RUSSELLVILLE AND DUNBAR CAVE ROAD WHEN SCHOOL IS IN SESSION, YOU WILL FIND IT IS A HORRIBLE MESS WITH THE ROAD AT OR NEAR CAPACITY. FINALLY -- THE MOST TROUBLING PART OF THE REZONING. YOU HAVE THE DEVELOPER WHO IS A MEMBER OF THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE REAL ESTATE BROKER A MEMBER OF THE LAND REGULATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE WHO BOTH WILL PROFIT FROM THIS IF REZONING IS APPROVED WITH THE SAFETY LAND. AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY CODE, NO EMPLOYEE SHALL HAVE A DIRECT OR INDIRECT FINANCIAL INTEREST THAT CONFLICTS OR APPEARS TO CONFLICT WITH THEIR DUTIES OR RESPONSIBILITIES.

SEEMS LIKE THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS RESULTING IN FLAWED STUDIES OVER THE YEARS LEADING TO AN UNEVEN GROWTH IN THE CITY. RESPECTFULLY, I URGE THE CITY COUNCILMEMBERS TO VOTE AGAINST THE REZONING OF THIS ORDINANCE ON OLD RUSSELLVILLE PIKE AND FANTASY LANE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, SIR. ANY MEMBER FROM COUNCIL HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. VELASQUEZ. HEARING NONE, SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU, SIR. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, WE ARE IN THE REBUTTAL PART OF OUR PUBLIC HEARING. BEFORE WE GET TO THAT.

WE HAD THREE PEOPLE SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 60.

TWO PEOPLE SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 60.

ANYONE ELSE IN CITY HALL LOBBY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 60 THAT HAVEN'T ALREADY SPOKEN, WE

WILL ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK NOW. >> SIR, THERE IS NO ONE.

>> MAYOR PITTS: OKAY, THANK YOU, AMY.

ALL RIGHT, SO NOW WE ARE IN THE REBUTTAL, SUR REBUTTAL PART OF OUR PUBLIC HEARING. THE THREE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 60, ANY OF YOU WISH TO OFFER REBUTTAL TO ANYTHING THAT WAS SAID IN OPPOSITION TO ORDINANCE 60.

MR. HEDRICK, MR. POWERS ARE OR MR. BAGWELL.

>> MAYOR PITTS: MR. HEDRICK, IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH YOUR

NAME AND THREE MINUTES. >> SYD HEDRICK, ADAMS, TENNESSEE IN MONTGOMERY CO COUNTY.

JUST TO RESPOND TO THE QUESTION ABOUT THE NATURAL HABITAT AND I AM NOT SURE THAT EVEN IN THE CITY THERE ARE ANY REGULATIONS TO REQUIRE ANY TYPE OF STUDIES OR INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO THE NATURAL HABITAT OF WILDLIFE ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS; HOWEVER, APPROXIMATELY 65 ACRES OF THIS PROPERTY WILL REMAIN UNDEVELOPED AND PROBABLY HELP IT RETAIN A NICE NATURAL HABITAT FOR THE WILDFIRE IN THE AREA ESPECIALLY BASED ON ITS PROXIMITY TO THE RIVER AND THE CAVE SYSTEMS THAT COULD BE FOUND IN THE -- IN THE EXISTING QUARRY.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO RESPOND TO -- I THINK IT IS MR. VELASQUEZ'S RESPONSE THAT NO EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY CAN PROFIT FROM A SALE. I AM NOT AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY. I AM ON THE LAND USE COMMITTEE. WE ARE A NONVOTING COMMITTEE.

WE JUST ANSWER QUESTIONS AND GIVE ADVICE AND IT IS PURELY -- IT IS A VOLUNTEER POSITION THAT I AM IN.

SO I JUST WANT HIM TO UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL PROFIT IF THIS SELLS; HOWEVER, THERE IS NO COLLUSION GOING ON FOR ME BEING SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO DONATE MY TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, MR. HEDED.

RICK. >> THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR PITTS: MR. POWERS. JUST ONE PERSON -- WE ARE NOW WORRY FOR MR. WINTERS AND BE MR. VELASQUEZ, IF YOU WOULD LIKE OFFER REBUTTAL. OFFER SUR REBUTTAL FOR ANYTHING SAID IN FAVOR OF THIS ORDINANCE.

IF YOU WILL APPROACH THE MI MICROPHONE, GIVE US YOUR NAME.

AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> ALL RIGHT.

ANY MEMBER OF COUNCIL HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT? I SEE A COUPLE. COUNCILPERSON STREETMAN, YOU

ARE RECOGNIZED. >> STACEY STREETMAN: WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME DISCUSSING THIS AND A FEW THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT. FOR ONE, IN REFERENCE TO WHAT WAS MENTIONED DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

I BELIEVE THAT OUR COU COUNCILMEMBER THAT SERVES ON THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION CAN CON FIRM IN BUT I BELIEVE MR. POWERS JUST AS OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR OWN PROJECTS COME BEFORE EITHER THIS PROJECT OR THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION. THEY TEND TO ABSTAIN FROM THOSE VOTES. AND I WOULD SUSTAIN MR. POWERS ABSTAINED FOR THE VOTE WHEN IT CAME BEFORE THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION THEM THEMSELVES.

ALSO WE DISCUSSED TRAFFIC, THE ISSUE THAT WOULD BE THERE.

MR. POWERS COMMITTED TONIGHT THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING TO PUT A DECELERATION LANE. IF ANOTHER BUYER WERE TO COME IN AND UTILIZE IT AS IT IS TODAY WHICH IS ALREADY ZONED FOR 138 SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING AS WELL AS INDUSTRIAL, WE MAY NOT BE SOMEBODY WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO ASSIST WITH US T THAT. WITH REGARD TO THE CROWDING OF THE SCHOOLS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE HEARD THEM MENTION THIS IS GOING TO BE A COUPLE YEARS PROJECT.

MR. HEDRICK REFERENCED. TOY REACHED OUT TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER OF WHICH I SHARE MY WARD WITH AND SPOKE WITH HIM WITH REGARD TO THE PLANNING FOR THE KIRKWOOD COMPLEX, AND HE TOLD ME THE SAME THING.

THAT RIGHT NOW THE PLAN IS FOR ONE OF THE SCHOOLS TO BE BUILT -- TO BE READY TO OPEN IN 2 2022, THE NEXT IN '23, AND THE NEXT IN '24. THEY ARE LOOKING AT WHAT IS THE NEXT SCHOOL AFTER THAT. OUR COUNTY COMMISSIONER ARE WORKING TO TRY TO GET A HANDLE ON THE GROWTH WE HAVE HAD AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR SCHOOLS.

AND THE LAST POINTS I WANT TO MAKE IS A POINT I ALLUDED TO AND ONE OF MY FELLOW COU COUNCILMEMBERS KEYED IN ON AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A MANUFACTURING ZONING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I REALIZE THAT IT WOULD APPEAR THAT IT WOULDN'T ADD ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY ARE ALREADY SEEING, BUT LIKE WE HAVE ALREADY HEARD MENTION, THAT -- THAT MANUFACTURING IS AT LEAST ON IT, SO NOTHING COULD OCCUR FOR 30 YEARS.

I AM QUITE CERTAIN THAT THE NEIGHBORS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD NOT APPRECIATE ALL THE GRAVEL TRUCKS THEY MAY BE HAVING DEPENDING COMPLETELY ON WHAT MIGHT DECIDE TO GO BACK IN THERE. SO IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WE VOTE TO APPROVE THIS ZONING REQUEST.

THANK YOU. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON STREETMAN. COUNCILPERSON RICHMOND, YOU

[01:10:04]

ARE RECOGNIZED. >> VONDELL RICHMOND: THANK YOU, MAYOR. I TOO, HAD SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ORDERS NANCE AND THEY SEEM TO BE ADDRESSED SO FAR. SPECIFICALLY WITH THE FLO FLOODING. IT IS IN THE CLEAR THERE WON'T BE ANY RESIDENTS THERE ACCORDING TO SOME OF THE TESTIMONY AND THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVED.

THE DECELERATION THAT THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER MENTIONED, AGAIN, I AM IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT.

I STILL DO STILL HAVE CONCERN AROUND THE SIDEWALK -- THE SIDEWALKS THERE. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY FOR MYSELF, IT IS A TOUGH DECISION BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND WHERE CONSTITUENTS ARE COMING FROM AND I GUESS MOVING FORWARD, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE PLANS ADDRESS THOSE SPECIFIC CONCERNS OF THE RESIDENTS. A LOT OF TIMES IT IS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO KIND OF SIDE TO THE DEVELOPER WITH TEN COMES TO PEOPLE'S SAFETY AND THE CONCERNS THEY HAVE.

CLARKSVILLE IS GROWING. HOME VALUES AS WE HEAD FROM MR. HEDRICK WON'T THE THAT GREATLY IMPACTED.

AND SO IN A TOUGH SPOT THAT I AM IN, I WANT TO VOTE AND SIDE WITH THE PEOPLE, BUT LOOKS LIKE TIME IN FAVOR OF THE REZONING OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

THANK YOU. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU COUNCILPERSON RICHMOND. NOW READY FOR COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MR. WINTERS AND MR. VELASQUEZ FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN OUR COMMUNITY AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL THE RESIDENTS OF WARD 9 WHO REACHED OUT AND SPOKE TO ME AND I HOPE I REPRESENTED YOUR CONCERNS ADEQUATELY.

AND I TRIED VERY HARD TO DO THAT.

SOME OF MY CONCERNS -- AND I WILL NOT MAKE IT A LONG ONE, SOME OF MY CONCERNS ARE, AG AGAIN, NOT SO MUCH FOR THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF, BUT FOR THE EFFECT OF THE LEGACY NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE HAVE. AND THAT WE AS A CITY COUNCIL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER WITH OUR DEVELOPERS AND OUR COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS AS WE GROW.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO REALLY LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE DOING ALONG SOME OF THESE OLD ROADS AND EXPAND THEM PERHAPS BEFORE THE BUILDERS COME IN. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS.

COUNCILPERSON GARRETT, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> RICHARD GARRETT: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I WANTED TO ANSWER WHAT A PREVIOUS SPEAKER ALLUDED TO WITH REGARD TO PLANNING COMMISSIONER POWERS.

HE DID ABSTAIN FOR THIS VOTING AS THIS WAS BROUGHT UP AS HE AND SEVERAL OTHERS OFTEN DO WHEN VOTING ON SOMETHING THEY HAVE INVOLVEMENT IN. THE SPEAKER HAS ALLUDED TO.

JUST THE FACT OF RESIDENTIAL IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THIS PARCEL OF LAND CONSIDERING ANY US -- NONE OF US REALLY WANT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, AN INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURER IN OUR BACKYARDS, YOU KNOW, THE -- ONE OF THE COMMONSENSE USES YOU WOULD RATHER BE LOOKING AT HOUSES RATHER THAN INDUSTRIAL HEAVY TRUCKS COMING IN AND OUT OF YOUR SUBDIVISION. TRAFFIC WILL BE A CONCERN REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE PUT HOUSES.

WITH THE STUDY PERFORMED SHOWING IT IS GOING FROM 17% CAPACITY TO 22% CAPACITY, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE HAVE THE B BANDWIDTH TO HANDLE THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT DETRIMENTALLY IMPACTING THE RESIDENTS OTHER THAN WHAT THEY ARE INCONVENIENCED WITH THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE.

I AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS, THAT AS A BODY, WE NEED TO LOOK AT OUR ROAD SYSTEM.

I AM EAGER FOR THE MAYOR TO, YOU KNOW, REVEAL THIS NOW TRAFFIC 2021 PLAN THAT GOT DELAYED BECAUSE OF COVID AND I THINK THAT WILL KIND OF PROVIDE SOME RELIEF IN SOME AREAS ONCE WE GET GOING BEHIND SOME OF THESE PROJECTS AND TAKE CARE OF OUR NEGLECTED INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND, YOU KNOW, ADDRESS THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT DECREASE IN PROPERTY VALUES KEYED IN ON BY MR. HEDRICK AND HIM BEING AN APPRAISER. HE IS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT THAN ME AND I DO DELVE IN IT AND THE HOME VALUE ALSO NOT BE EFFECTED. WE ARE SEEING VALUES RISE AND BUYERS ARE GETTING EDGED OUT OF PURCHASE.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS HOUSING CRISIS IS TO BUILD OUR WAY OUT OF THIS. EXISTING HOMES JUST AREN'T OUT THERE FOR THAT. SO I WOULD ASK FOR MY FELLOW COUNCILMEMBERS AND PERSONS TO SUPPORT THIS ZONING ORDINANCE BECAUSE I AM IN FAVOR OF IT AS WELL.

THANK YOU. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON GARRETT. COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE

RECOGNIZED. >>WANDA SMITH: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST RELATING TO MR. HEDRICK -- MR.

[01:15:04]

WE DON'T WANT TO JUST SAY VOTE YES.

I MEAN, THEY COVERED EVERYTHING THAT I ASKED AND SOUND GOOD AND I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN OPPOSITION, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE -- THE ONES IN OPPOSITION -- SO IT WON'T BE ANY CONFUSION.

>> MAYOR PITTS: MR. BAKER, FULL ADDRESS HER QUESTION.

>> SO MR. -- I THINK IT WAS -- MR. VELASQUEZ.

>>WANDA SMITH: MR. VELASQUEZ. >> HE WAS CORRECT.

HE READ VERBATIM 1-601 THAT EMPLOYEES IS VERY BROADLY DEFINED UNDER OUR CITY ETHICS CODE TO INCLUDE PART-TIME ELECTED OR OF COMPENSATED OR NOT OR COMMITTEE, AUTHORITY.

AND SO FORTH. SO THE BOARDS THAT -- THE RPC IS LEGALLY A SEPARATE -- LEGALLY SEPARATE ENTITY FROM THE CITY, BUT WE IN THE COUNTY DO FUND IT.

AND I BELIEVE THE MAYORS HAVE A ROLE IN APPOINTING MEMBERS TO IT. THE OTHER BODY THAT MR. H HEDRICK SERVES ON IS A CITY CREATED ADVISORY COMMISSION, AND THE ETHICS CODE DOES APPLY TO THOSE PEOPLE.

THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT HE HAS COMMITTED ANY KIND OF ETHICS VIOLATION AT ALL. AND I AM NOT -- I AM NOT SAYING THAT. HE HAS A RIGHT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CITIZEN TO COME BEFORE THIS BODY SCANNED FOR A REZONING OF PROPERTY. ALL I AM SAYING THAT THE ETHICS CODE DOES APPLY TO HIM, HIS ROLE AS SERVING ON THAT

BOARD. >>WANDA SMITH: THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. LET ME SAY THIS.

WHAT IS HIS POSITION IN THIS ORDINANCE? I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. WHAT IS HIS POSITION, MR. SYD

HEDRICK. >> I AM NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND

THE QUESTION. >>WANDA SMITH: HIS POSITION BASED ON THIS ORDINANCE. ORDINANCE 60.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS HIS OFFICIAL ROLE AND POSITION ON THIS ORDI ORDINANCE?

SMITH IS HE THE AGENT? >> THE THE LISTED REAL ESTATE

AGENT FOR THIS PROPERTY. >>WANDA SMITH: OKAY, THANK

YOU. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON SMITH. ANYTHING ELSE? COUNCILPERSON ALLEN, YOU HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED.

>> I AM SITTING HERE LISTENING TO -- I WAS UNDECIDED -- HOWEVER WHAT YOU GUYS FIND OUT ABOUT ME IS ETHICS -- FOR THAT SIMPLE PURPOSE, I WILL BE V VOTING THIS DOWN.

>> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON ALLEN.

ANY OTHER PERSON OF COUNCIL HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT OF

ORDINANCE 60. >> I DO.

I HAVE MY HAND UP THERE. >> MAYOR PITTS: SORRY, COUNCILPERSON REDD, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> WALLACE REDD: WE NEED HOUSING AND THIS WILL BE AT A MINIMUM COST FOR OUR CITY, BUT IT WILL ENDS UP BEING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF REVENUE FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THIS PROPERTY FOR OUR CITY AND THEY TALKED OF THE DECELERATION LANE AND HAVE AGREED TO THAT. I WILL BE VOTING YES.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON REDD, THOSE OF HOW ARE JOINING US VIRTUALLY, I CAN'T SEE WIN YOU RAISE YOUR HAND ON THE SCREEN, BUT IF YOU KIND OF WAVE AT ME OR SPEAK UP, I WILL PUT YOU ON THE L LIST. COUNCILPERSON GARRETT -- STREETMAN FIRST AND THEN COUNCILPERSON GARRETT.SFR

>> STACEY STREETMAN: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT MR. POWERS, ALTHOUGH HE SERVES ON THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION AS WAS CONFIRMED BY MY FELLOW COUNCILMEMBER, HE DID ABSTAIN.

HE HAD NO VOTE ON CONTINUE OTHER THAN HE SERVES THOON THAT COMMISSION AS A VOLUNTEER FOR THAT COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU.

COUNCILPERSON GARRETT. >> RICHARD GARRETT: I WANT TO CLEAR UP THETH PARTICULARS. WHAT MR. BAKER SAID HE IS SUBJECT TO THE CITY'S ETHICS POLICY.

HE IS NOT DOING A ETHICS VIOLATION.

SYD HEDRICK DOES NOT VOTE ON ANYTHING.

AND HE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS ORDINANCE IN ANY CAPACITY. WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF HE WAS SITTING UP HERE AND HE VOTED ON IT.

HE IS LIKE ANY ONE OF US -- OFTENTIMES FORMER COUNCILMAN BURKHART WILL HAVE PROPERTIES THAT HE WAS PART OF THAT WERE BEING REZONED. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. WE MAKE IT KNOWN AND SAY, I

[01:20:03]

THAT CURES IT. THERE IS NO ETHICAL ISSUE THERE. THE ETHICAL ISSUE WOULD BE VOTING ON SOMETHING THAT OFF PERSONAL INTEREST IN IT.

I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT -- I KNOW WE HAVE SOME OF OUR NEW COUNCILMEMBERS ON HERE AND THIS IS THEIR FIRST SESSION VOTING AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS CLEAR ON THAT. NO ETHICAL VIOLATION.

HE IS NOT EVEN VOTING ON THIS. AND HE HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE THE LAND ADVISORY COMMITTEE DOESN'T DEAL WITH ZONING WHATSOEVER. SO I JUST WANTED TO TRY TO

CLEAR THAT UP FOR EVERYBODY. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON GARRETT. ANY OTHER MEMBER OF COUNCIL HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT REGARDS ORDINANCE 60.

SEEING NONE, HEARING NONE. ARE YOU READY TO VOTE.

MADAM CLERK, TAKE THE VOTE. >> RICHARD GARRETT: AYE.

>> VONDELL RICHMOND: AYE. >> DAJUAN LITTLE: AYE.

>> WALLACE REDD: YES. >>JASON KNIGHT: AYE.

>>WANDA SMITH: YES. >> TRAVIS HOLLEMAN: AYE.

>> MISS ALLEN. >> NO.

>> MISS REYNOLDS. >> NO.

CHAIRPERSON STREETMAN. UP TO YOU AND THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. DO YOUR REPORT AND WE WILL TAKE UP THE PULLED CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS.

[01:30:01]

>> STACEY STREETMAN: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I APPRECIATE IT. IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER WE DIDN'T HAVE A FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING, BUT I DID WANT TO BRING A FEW DIFFERENT POINTS TO YOU ALL WITH REGARDS TO OUR FINANCES. FOR ONE, WE HAVE GOT 50% OF OUR -- OF ALL REVENUES ARE COLLECTED TO DATE.

OUR CURRENT YEAR PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS ARE AT 49% OF THE BUDGETED COLLECTION. THAT IS PRETTY TYPICAL FOR DECEMBER AS A LOT OF PEOPLE PAY THEIR PROPERTY TAX IN DECEMBER. THE BALANCE OF OUR PROPERTY TAXES ARE TYPICALLY COLLECTED BEFORE THEY ARE DUE ON THE DATE OF FEBRUARY 28. ALSO OUR LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX IS VERY STRONG WITH NEARLY A 8% INCREASE OVER THE SAME TIME LAST YEAR. I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH IN 2019 WHICH WAS NORMAL TO WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH IT IS NOW THE NEW NORMAL, I THINK THAT SPEAKS HIGHLY OF THE LOCAL ECONOMY THAT WE HAVE HERE AND HOW THAT SUPPORTED OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND THAT WE ACTUALLY SEEN AN INCREASE IN OUR SALES TAX.

OUR BUDGET LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX AT 48% THROUGH DECEMBER 1.

AND THAT IS ALSO TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT THERE IS A TWO-MONTH LAG ON OUR SALES T TAX.

AND OBVIOUSLY DECEMBER SALES TAX IS NORMALLY VERY HIGH AND WE WON'T ACTUALLY HAVE THAT -- SEE FOR THAT TO COME IN UNTIL TWO MONTHS FROM NOW. WE WILL SEE THAT IN FEBRUARY.

WANT TO THAT OUR DEPARTMENTS ARE MANAGING THEIR BUDGETS VERY CLOSELY AND STAYING ON TRACK WITH SPENDING AND THANK YOU FOR OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS FOR STAYING WITHIN THEIR ME

MEANS. >> MAYOR PITTS: THANK YOU CHAIRPERSON STREETMAN. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT? COUNCILPERSON ALLEN, YOU ARE

RECOGNIZED. >> I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS ABOUT THE REPORT. DO WE RECEIVE THE REPORT -- IT

IS NOT IN OUR AGENDA. >> MAYOR PITTS: YOU WILL GET

THAT REPORT. >> IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET ALL OF THE SPENDING WE SPENT ON LAWSUITS?

HOW DO WE GET THAT. >> MAYOR PITTS: WE WILL GET TO THAT YOU. DEPARTMENT -- THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK. THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS ARE LISTED ON YOUR IPAD -- PARDON ME, IN THE PACKET.

>> FEMA REQUIRES US TO PASS THIS FLOODPLAIN ORDINANCE FOR FLOOD INSURANCE PURPOSES. IF THERE IS ALREADY A VERSION IN IT IN OUR CITY CODE. EVER SO OFTEN, FEMA COMES BACK

[01:35:01]

THE FIRST READING VERSION WAS THE WAY -- WAS THE EXACT WAY THEY GAVE IT TO US. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID WE MADE A COUPLE OF ERRORS IN THE CROSS REFERENCING NUMBERS.

>> MAYOR PITTS: 27-C -- 20. >> I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AND THIS IS EXACTLY HOW WE GOT IT.

I AGREE WITH YOU. IT IS PROBABLY JUST A REDUNDANT PROVISION. THIS IS HOW THEY SENT IT US TO AND THEY TOLD US TO PASS IT VERBATIM.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. THE REFERENCE TO SECTION 17, 18, 19 AND 20 NEEDS TO SAY BUT REDUCTION PROVISIONS AND REPEATS THE PHRASE HAZARD REDUCTION PROVISIONS OF.

YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND WANT AND PASS IT AS IS, WE CAN ASK THE CODE CODIFICATION COMPANY TO STRIKE THAT REDUNDANT PROVISION ONCE WE GET FEMA'S PERMISSION TO DO SO BEFORE IT ACTUALLY GETS CODIFIED IN THE CITY CODE.

IT WILL STILL BE LAW ONCE -- WHEN AN ORDINANCE GETS PASSED IN ORDINANCE FORM, IT IS LAW. BUT IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY SHOW UP ONLINE AND DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THE ACTUAL HARD COPY UNTIL WE SEND IT OFF TO THE CODE CODIFICATION COMPANY AND THEY

LOOKING AT THE POSITIONS OR COMMITTEES YOU HAVE PUT US ON.

[01:55:06]

IT JUST -- IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO FIT THE STATUS OF WHAT THE NAACP WILL REQUIRE KNOWING THAT OUR MEMBER OF THE NAACP.

I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT DIVERSITY.

ON THE PARKS AND RECREATION, I SEE THAT THERE ARE FIVE MEMBERS, STREET GARAGE AND TRANSPORTATION ARE ALSO FIVE.

BUT THE BLACKS ARE DOUBLED UP ON EACH DEPARTMENT EXCEPT THERE ARE NO BLACKS ON THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

AND I WAS JUST WONDERING WERE YOU GOING TO PUT ANYBODY ELSE OUT THERE, AFRICAN-AMERICANS OF SUCH, BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING AT A CITY THAT HAS A POPULATION OF A DIVERSE PEOPLE. AND SO I AM LOOKING AND HOPING THAT THERE WILL BE SOME AFRICAN-AMERICANS ADDED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. I KNOW THAT THERE WERE REQUESTS BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THEM THAT I WOULD LOVE TO BE ON FINANCE COMMITTEE. I HAVE BEEN ON COUNCIL FOR SIX YEARS. AND I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE MAY HAVE REQUESTED BUT I AM SPEAKING FOR ME BUT THE WHOLE COUNCIL AND FOR THE CITY, KNOW WE ARE A DIVERSE CITY AND I AM LOOKING TO HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU WILL ADD SOME AFRICAN-AMERICANS TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
