OLD WOOD MONT. >> -- AMENDING -- IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 71. IF YOU WILL GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES

>> BERT SINGLE TERRY. I'M PUTTING IN THE APPLICATION TO GO FROM C5 TO R4 MULTI-FAMILY AND IF YOU'VE GOT ANY QUESTIONS.

>> ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. SINGLETARY?

>> SEEING NONE. OOPS!, WE HAVE ONE.

COUNCIL PERSON ZACHARIAS YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

>> I'M SORRY. I MISS READ SOMETHING.

>> ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. SINGLETARY? THANK YOU, SIR. ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR. ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST.

PLEASE APPROACH, SIR. >> GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS

AND YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'M ANDREW FROM 435 STONE MEADOW ROAD. SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MRS. CAROL BROOKS MY MOTHER-IN-LAW. THE KEY CONSIDERATIONS ARE FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. THE -- I RED IN THE MINUTES THERE WERE NO ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT AND ONLY TO MARK THE 100 YEAR FLOOD POINT AND TO GET A GRATING PERMIT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROPERTY -- JUST BY ITSELF IT'S JUST A PIECE OF PLAN.

HOWEVER THIS PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY A PARCEL THAT HAS BEEN NOT IN USE. IT ACCEPTS THE DRAINAGE OF 84 ACRES OF ADJACENT PROPERTY. IF YOU CONSIDER THE MAP OF THE AREA OF CLARKSVILLE ALL THE WAY FROM THE CORNER OF RENDELL ROAD TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE ENTIRE MILLS WOOD NEIGHBORHOOD THE NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY, THE ELECTRIC POWER SUBSTATION AND ALL OF MR. KIMBRASL PROPERTY.

ALL OF IT DRAINS IN THIS AREA. THE AREA ITSELF IS LOWER THAN 41 AND HAS BEEN SINCE 41A WAS BUILT ABOUT 70-80 YEARS A GO.

PRIOR TO THAT THE AREA DRAINED TO THE NORTHWEST IN THE CREEK.

SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN BLOCKED. THE DRAINAGE HAS BEEN BLOCKED AND 50 YEARS AGO WHEN THE MILLS WOOD SUBDIVISION WAS DEVELOPED THERE WAS FURTHER EXACERBATED FROM THE RUN OFF FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS PUT IN -- WAS THERE A STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN SEND BY THE COUNTY? IF THERE WAS THEN THIS PARCEL ACCEPTS THAT. ANY DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE A REDEVELOPMENT OF THE MILLS WOOD SUBDIVISION.

CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW UNDER THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY STORM WATER RESOLUTION ANY PART OF LAND THAT IS COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY A CONTINUOUS CONTOUR AND HAS NO DRAINAGE OUT IS CONSIDERED A SINKHOLE. NEARLY THE ENTIRE PARCEL.

BY THIS DEFINITION IS A SINKHOLE.

THERE IS SOME HIGH GROUND TO THE SOUTHEAST BETWEEN THE LOW FLAT PART OF THE PARCEL AND RING GOLD ELEMENTARY.

CURRENTLY ALL OF THE WATER FROM THE 84 ACRES AND PERHAPS PART OF 41A I'M NOT CERTAIN DRAINS DOWN INTO THIS AREA AND THERE ARE TWO INJECTION WELLS. THAT DIRECT THE WATER IN SUB SURFACE. IN AND AROUND THAT AREA ARE ABOUT TWO TO THREE DOZEN SINKHOLES DEVELOPING.

SOME RANGING FROM AS DR. MURPHY MENTIONED SOME RANGE FROM 10 FEET WIDE AND FIVE FEET DEEP AND THE LARGEST WAS ABOUT 40 FEET WIDE AND 15 FEET DEEP. THEY ARE NOT JUST IN THE LOW AREA. THE SINKHOLES ARE UP THE HILL WITHIN 75-100 FEET ON TOP OF THE HILL ABOVE THE INJECTION WELLS.

THAT TELLS YOU THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF SUB SURFACE ACTIVITY GOING ON AND RESIDENTS HAVE NOTED THERE IS A LOT OF SINKING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON DURING THE LIFE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

NOW MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS WAS TO PROCEED WITH JUST HEY GET A GRATING PERMIT AND GO WITH IT.

[00:15:04]

THEN YOU STAND THE CHANCE OF PUTTING HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN A PIT THAT IS GOING TO EVENTUALLY FLOOD.

I DON'T THINK THE OWNER HAS NOT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM.

THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE WAY 41A WAS PUT IN WITH NO SURFACE DRAINAGE FOR THIS AREA. NOW WHAT I THINK WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS THAT BEFORE THIS RESOLUTION GOES FORWARD AND GETS THE APPROVAL IS THAT THE COUNTY OR THE CITY LOOK AT THE GEOLOGY OF THIS PARCEL AND DETERMINE IF IN FACT THERE ARE SINKHOLES THAT NEED TO BE ESTABLISHED AS A WATER QUALITY BUFFER AND THEN SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS BE GIVEN TO THE DEVELOPER BEFORE THEY PROCEED AS TO WHAT AREAS SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED.

AND THE RESOLUTION MENTIONS THAT TREES SHOULD -- THE VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED NOR THE GROUND GRADED.

THERE IS A LOT OF LAND HERE AND SOME OF IT CAN BE USED FOR THIS PURPOSE AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE USED.

HOWEVER I THINK AT THIS POINT INSTEAD OF JUST LEAVING IT UP TO THE DEVELOPER THEMSELVES I THINK THE CITY OR THE COUNTY SHOULD LOOK AT THIS CLOSELY AND DETERMINE IF ANY OF THIS AREA

SHOULD BE PROTECTED. >> THANK YOU.

ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. BELONDA.

SEEING NONE THANK YOU SIR. >> ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK.

>> MR. BELONDA PLEASE COME BACK. >> DID YOU BRING THESE ISSUES OR CONCERNS TO THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION AT THE TIME OF THE PUBLIC HEARING. DID THEY HAVE ANY FEEDBACK FOR

YOU? >> NO.

WE HAD BROUGHT THESE CONCERNS TO MR. MARQUEZ.

I DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE DEVELOPMENT MEETING.

ALL OF THESE CONCERNS WERE IDENTIFIED AT THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT MEETING LAST SUMMER. BY DR. MURPHY.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU. >> NOW ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 71.

OUR RULES ALLOW FOR THOSE WHO SPOKE IN FAVOR A TIME FOR REBUTTAL. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REBUT ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID OR ADD TO YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME

>> MY NAME IS CODY HEGGIE. I'M ONE OF THE OPENERS OF THIS PROPERTY AND WE'RE LOOKING TO GET IT REZONED R6.

LOOKING TO PUT 6-8 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON THIS PROPERTY.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED APPROVAL AND ASK YOU TO DO THE SAME

>> THANK YOU, MR. HEGGIE. ANY QUESTIONS?

COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS. >> I DROVE OUT TO THE AREA AND THAT AREA IS A FLOOD ZONE. MOST OF IT.

AND SUPPOSEDLY YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD ON THE EDGE.

IS THAT CORRECT? >> YES, MA'AM.

ON THE ROAD FRONT STAGE SIDE. IT'S TWO ACRE.

IDEALLY IT WOULD, GREAT IF YOU COULD USE MORE THAN THAT.

>> HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD DRAINAGE SO THE BUILDINGS THAT YOU PUT IN DON'T BACK UP THE REST OF THE

NEIGHBORHOOD? >> MY ENGINE ISSUE SUBMITTED THE PLANS AND THEY APPROVED IT AND HE IS GOING TO WORK WITH THE STREET DEPARTMENT UNTIL THE GRADING PERMITS --

>> BECAUSE THERE WAS A DITCH THAT RAN FROM THE ROAD AND AROUND. I JUST WANTED -- YOU COULD SEE

THE FLOOD HOW THE WATER -- >> ON THE RIGHT SIDE?

>> THE RIGHT AND THEN AROUND THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.

>> SO REALLY I THINK WE'RE JUST USING THE ROAD FRONT STAGE.

NOT GOING HALFWAY BACK. THERE IS A DRAINAGE DITCH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY AND I DON'T THINK WE'RE GETTING ANYWHERE NEAR THAT. SO WE'RE GOING TO STAY ON THE

FRONT OF THE PROPERTY >> I OWN A HOME CLOSE TO A FLOOD PLANE AND EVERY TIME IT FLOODS I'M ALWAYS CONCERNED.

* >> I UNDERSTAND.

I APPRECIATE IT. >> ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS

[00:20:04]

FOR MR. HEGGIE. THANK YOU, SIR.

ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR. AGAINST ORDINANCE 72.

ORDINANCE 73-2021-22 (First Reading) Amending the Zoning Ordinance and Map of the City of Clarksville, application of Clarkland - Bert Singletary, Agent, for Zone Change on property located at the intersection of Professional Park Dr. and Stowe Ct. from O-1 Office District to R-4 Multiple Family Residential District RPC: Approval/Approval]

NEXT ITEM IS ORDINANCE 73. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 73? IF YOU WOULD GIVE US YOUR NAME

ADDRESS. >> MY NAME IS SAID HEDRICK.

I'M GOING TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS REZONING.

WHEN THE PROFESSIONAL PARK COMMONS WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED ACROSS FROM THE HOSPITAL THE 01 ZONING WAS USED THINKING THAT IT WOULD BRING DOCTORS OFFICES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO THE AREA WHICH SEEMS LIKE A GOOD OPTION BUT AT THAT TIME THE ZONING ORDINANCE READ DIFFERENTLY AND ALLOWED FOR MULTI-FAMILY ZONING TO BE USED. TOWARD THE BACK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH IS A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION LOTS OF THOSE AREAS EARLY ON WERE DEVELOPED FOR USE AS MULTI-FAMILY. OKAY.

LIKE STONE COURT. BRAND-NEW APARTMENTS BUILT THERE. AND RIGHT THERE ON WHITE FACE DRIVE AND EVEN ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

AFTER THE ZONING CHANGE THE ZONING ORDINANCE WAS AMENDED WHICH TOOK THAT USE OUT OF 01 IT LEFT SEVERAL PROPERTIES YET IT STILL HAD THESE MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AROUND THOSE PROPERTIES. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS WE'RE SELLING THIS PROPERTY TO MR. SINGLETARY AND HE INTENDS TO CONTINUE THAT MULTI-FAMILY USE WHICH WILL ACTUALLY BACK UP TO MEADOW WOOD PARK. SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION WHICH I THINK WILL BE A BENEFIT TO THOSE PEOPLE BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW THE MULTI-FAMILY BUFFER BETWEEN THEM AND THE OTHER COMMERCIAL USES IN THE FRONT PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO WE RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND WE HOPE THAT WE'LL RECEIVE THAT SAME APPROVAL FROM YOU HERE TONIGHT

>> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS.

>> YES I'M LOOKING AT THE OVERVIEW OF THE PLANS AND I HAVE A CONCERN THAT I SEE AS -- THIS SAYS THERE IS UP TO A POPULATION OF 140 OR 52 UNITS. WE HAVE TWO WAYS IN AND OUT OF THIS AND WE CONTINUE TO BUILD IN THIS AREA.

DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS A PLAN TO CONNECT BELLAMY LANE AND THE BACKSIDE TO ADD TO GIVE ANOTHER EXIT TO THIS AREA BECAUSE WE'RE

GETTING CLOSE TO -- >> IT TAKES YOU OVER INTO CHESAPEAKE WHICH IS UTTERNESS TRANS --

>> BUT THAT IS ONLY TWO AND THERE IS A LOT OF AG OVER HERE

THAT WE'RE GOING TO DEVELOP >> IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION.

THE ZONING REQUEST BECAUSE OF THEIR APPROVAL MEETS THE GUIDELINES THAT IS REQUIRED BY THE CITY CURRENTLY

>> I'M SURE IT MEETS IT CURRENT. I'M LOOKING AT THE NEXT REQUEST AND THE NEXT REQUEST AND THE NEXT REQUEST IN THIS AREA.

THANK YOU. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION? >> THANK YOU, SIR.

ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 73? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 73? PLEASE SIR, IF YOU WOULD APPROACH GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

>> MY NAME IS BOB BARNEY. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOME OWNER'S ASSOCIATION. AND I'M HERE WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE HOME OWNER'S ASSOCIATION TO SPEAK AGAINST IT.

IN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF MAYBE NOT THAT LONG THERE HAD BEEN 230 HOUSING UNITS BUILT IN THE HALF MILE STRETCH ON PROFESSIONAL PARK DRIVE AND THERE IS ONLY ONE TWO LANE ROAD GOING OUT.

CHESAPEAKE DOESN'T COUNT. IT GOES OUT TO DUNLOP.

THERE IS NOTHING THERE. PEOPLE TRY TO GO OVER FOUR LANES. TRYING TO GET OVER TO THERE.

YOU HAVE GOT THE PREMIER PEOPLE COMING OUT.

I'VE SEEN LOTS OF ACCIDENTS THERE.

YOU NEED MORE ROADS. YOU NEED A COUPLE OF MORE ROADS.

I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU WOULD DO IT.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS THAT I SEE.

[00:25:04]

RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SIT AT THE END OF DUNLOP AND WAIT TWO OR THREE LIGHTS. I'VE WAITED AT THE STOPLIGHT, TURNED GREEN. CAN'T GO BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP ALL THE WAY TO TED CROWER.

AND IT GOES THROUGH THE INTERSECTION.

YOU'VE GOT TWO OF LANES AND THEN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET -- TO TURN LEFT. YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE COMING OFF TURNING RIGHT. GETTINGS STOPPED BY PEOPLE COMING OUT OF PREMIER. ALSO ON TOP OF THAT I HEAR YOU ARE PLANNING AND PUTTING A COUPLE OF HOTELS AND A CONFERENCE CENTER OF DUNLOP. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU THINK THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO GO. DUNLOP WILL BE A PARKING LOT.

PEOPLE COMING UP FROM NASHVILLE WILL BE GETTING OFF AT EXIT 8 COMING UP AND GOING TO DUNLOP. YOU NEED MORE ROADS TO GET OUT.

I SEE A COUPLE BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THEY ARE FEASIBLE.

YOU OPEN THE PLANTS AND THEN YOU HAVE THE AMAZON PLANT UP THERE.

HANCOCK IS BUILDING A PLANT. DUNLOP -- THAT IS GOING TO BE A MAIN THOROUGHFARE. YOU NEED MORE ROADS GETTING OUT.

EVEN MAYBE OUT TO WAR FIELD. SOMEHOW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. IT IS DANGEROUS SOMETIMES.

IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AT THE END OF OUR STREET YOU'VE GOT EMERGENCY VEHICLES COMING UP. YOU MIGHT HAVE PEOPLE LEAVING.

YOU'VE GOT A ONE, TWO LANE ROAD. BASICALLY THAT IS ALL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR. BARNEY.

>> JUST LIKE THE PURPLE DINOSAUR.

WE'RE JUST LOOKING TO TRANSFER THIS OVER FROM R2 TO C2.

LOOKING FOR A LARGER COMMERCIAL TENANT AND IT'S AN ACRE LOT.

KIND OF JUST ROUNDS OUT THE REST OF THE COMMERCIAL CORNER BEHIND THE RITE AID THERE. WE'RE JUST OPEN TO WHAT THE NEXT TENANT MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR SO WE'RE LOOKING TO DO A BUILD OUT.

I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANYONE MIGHT HAVE.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BLICK? SEEING NONE.

IT'S JUST OF THE COUNCIL. I'M SORRY.

THANK YOU MR. BLICK. ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 74? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 74? PLEASE SIR IF YOU WOULD APPROACH AND GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JARVIS BRENT SON.

I'VE BEEN IN CLARKSVILLE ROUGHLY TWO AND A HALF YEARS.

I LIVE AT THE END OF A DEADENED STREET ON ENGLEWOOD.

I HAVE TO PASS BY THIS PARCEL EVERY DAY.

THE -- WHAT USED TO BE A RITE AID HAS BEEN CLOSED SINCE I HAVE LIVED IN THE AREA. IT'S NOT BEING USED AS A RITE AID. IN A COMMERCIAL CAPACITY.

I'VE SEEN SOME SORT OF ORGANIZATION WHETHER IT'S A A CHURCH. I DON'T KNOW.

THERE IS ONE MAYBE TWO VEHICLES THERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEBODY IS LIVING OUT OF IT.

GOING BACK TO THE PARCEL AT HAND TO PUT A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THERE STARTS TO MESS WITH US THERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC. IN TERMS OF DEPENDING ON WHAT THE BUSINESS COULD END UP BEING. IT COULD EVEN AFFECT SAFETY.

WHERE I LIVE AT THE END OF THE DEADENED THERE IS CITY PROPERTY AND THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN PLACE TO, IT WAS GOING TO BE A PARK OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

IT DIDN'T WORK OUT AND PART OF THE REASON IS BECAUSE OF ACCESS COMING IN AND OUT. SO IF YOU PUT A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THERE IS THAT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE? IS THAT GOING TO BRING NOISE? IS IT GOING TOP -- THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT IT COULD BRING DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS THAT TAKES PLACE ON THIS CORNER. NOW AS IT STANDS THAT AREA LIBEY

[00:30:01]

MUCH QUIET ENOUGH WHERE MY SON AND I CAN WALK TO THE STORE.

I GET IT. I LIVED IN NASHVILLE.

I'VE SEEN THE BOOM. I'VE SEEN THE BOOM IN CLARKSVILLE. AND I GET IT.

PEOPLE WANT TO PUT BUSINESSES AND APARTMENTS.

THAT IS FINE. BUT I KNOW FOR ME PERSONALLY I MOVED TO CLARKSVILLE TO THE SPECIFIC HOME THAT I MOVED TO BECAUSE IT WAS QUIET. BECAUSE IT WAS PEACEFUL.

IT'S SOMEWHERE WHERE I CAN WALK TO THE STORE.

I CAN PLAY WITH MY SON IN THE YARD.

I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT US GETTING HIT BY A CAR OR THOSE TYPES OF THINGS SO I WOULD LIKE FOR THAT TO REMAIN IN THIS AREA.

I'M NOT AGAINST SOMEBODY MAKING TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AN OPPORTUNITY. WHAT I DO TAKE ISSUE WITH IS THE LOCATION OF THIS OPPORTUNITY. IT'S A QUIET STREET ON DEL MAR.

IT'S A QUIET AREA. BUT THAT INTERSECTION AT DEL MAR AND LIBERTY IS BUSY AS IT IS. JUST WITH PEOPLE COMING AND GOING. SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE PUT A COMMERCIAL BIDS THERE.

THE LIGHT, THAT LIGHT IS TERRIBLE BECAUSE THERE IS NOT EVEN AN ARROW TO TURN ON TO LIBERTY PARKWAY.

SO NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING A COMMERCIAL BUSINESS.

I THINK THAT WHOMEVER NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS

BEFORE IT GOES FORWARD. >> THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. COUNCILMEMBER SMITH.

>> YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

SIR, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS.

AND IDEAS ABOUT HOW YOU THINK ABOUT THIS.

I HEARD YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE BIG BOOM IN NASHVILLE.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME OR THIS COUNCIL WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE BIG BOOM IN NASHVILLE. I KNOW YOU MOVED HERE AND I'M

ASKING FOR A REASON. >> WHEN I ORIGINALLY MOVED TO NASHVILLE IT WAS A PLACE THAT HAD A SMALL TOWN FEEL WITH BIG TOWN AMENITIES. AS NASHVILLE TURNED MORE INTO A BIG CITY WITH THAT CAME BIG CITY PROBLEMS. SO NOW THAT I'VE BEEN HERE IN CLARKSVILLE FOR ROUGHLY TWO AND A HALF YEARS I'M SEEING SOME OF THE SAME BIG CITY PROBLEMS

>> CAN YOU NAME SOME OF THE PROBLEMS.

>> THERE IS AN INCREASE IN CRIME SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE GENERALLY SPEAKING. TRAFFIC IS BORDERLINE NASHVILLE

BAD. >> OKAY.

A DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S AN EXAGGERATION SO JUST THOSE TWO

ITEMS ALONE >> DO YOU FEEL LIKE THE ENVIRONMENT IS UNSTABLE WHEN YOU ADD ALL OF THESE OTHER THINGS

>> YES, MA'AM AND I'D LIKE TO ADD TO THAT THAT WHEN I ORIGINALLY MOVED TO CLARKSVILLE I LIVED IN AN APARTMENT.

SO I KNOW THAT AREAS THAT ARE NECESSARILY NEAR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES OR EVEN APARTMENTS THEMSELVES WITH THAT THERE CAN SOMETIMES BE CERTAIN UNACCOUNTED THINGS THAT COME ALONG WITH THAT. AND SO SPEAKING AS SOMEBODY IN THAT AREA I'M CONCERNED THAT SOME OF THOSE ADDITIONAL THINGS WILL COME ALONG. AND I UNDERSTAND CLARKSVILLE WAS FROM WHAT I HEAR A NICE QUAINT SLEEPY TOWN.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S NOT. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT CLARKSVILLE WAS NOT NECESSARILY PREPARED FOR THAT.

WHAT PLACE IS? BUT I DO THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE

TAKEN A CLOSER LOOK AT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> COUNCIL PERSON RICHAMOND

YOU'RE RECOGNIZED: >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

FROM MY UNDERSTANDING DID YOU TALK TO THE DEVELOPER BECAUSE I DO SEE THAT C2 IS -- IT ALLOWS FOR A MIXED USE SO IT COULD BE APARTMENTS FOR ALL WE KNOW. WE DON'T NECESSARILY GET DOWN I DON'T THINK INTO THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT GOES THERE AND WHAT DOESN'T GO THERE. R2 I BELIEVE IS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY AND C2 COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS SO I JUST WANT YOU TO BE AWARE THAT WHEN WE MAKE THESE DECISIONS IT'S STRINGILY ABOUT THE ZONING -- STRICTLY ABOUT THE ZONING.

WE DON'T GET INTO THE WEEDS. DID YOU SPEAK TO THE DEVELOPER

AT ALL? >> I ONLY RECENTLY THAT THIS WAS ON THE TABLE WITHIN THE LAST 72 HOURS.

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU IF AN APARTMENT WAS PUT THERE I WOULD BE MORE CONCERNS BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC AND CHILDREN.

NOT O >> COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS.

>> ARE THERE SIDEWALKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS?

>> ANONYMOUS. -- NO, MA'AM.

NOT ON LIBERTY PARKWAY. NOT ON DEL MAR.

[00:35:03]

*. >> ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK

AGAINST ORDINANCE 74. >> MY NAME IS-DAVE -- I'M SPEAKING FOR MY MOTHER-IN-LAW. THIS AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A SECOND SUBDIVISION WHICH CAME INTO CLARKSVILLE.

THIS HOUSE -- SHE LIVES TWO DOORS AWAY FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT AND SHE HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 1945.

IN 52 IS WHEN THE KROGER WENT IN.

SHE HAD OVER 34 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRASH COMING OVER ON TO HER PROPERTY. WHICH I COME DOWN EVERY WEEKEND TO TAKE CARE OF. THERE ARE THINGS THAT CONCERN ME ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE THIS CHANGES THE ZONING AND AS IT IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD ISN'T THE -- THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS THE ONES WHO ARE PUSHING THIS ALSO OWN SEVERAL PROPERTIES IN THE AREA AND ONE ACTUALLY BACKS UP TO MY MOTHER-IN-LAW'S HOUSE AND IT'S NOT UP KEPT SO THE FIRST THING I WONDER -- LIKE MR. RICHAMOND WAS SAYING WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO GO IN THERE. WHAT I DO KNOW FOR A FACT IS RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES YOU SLEEP WELL.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES YOU EAT WELL.

SO YOU MAKE MONEY ON IT. SO WHAT IS THE EFFECT GOING TO BE ON THE COMMUNITY? BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING STATED ON WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE. AND AS IT IS IF IT GOES INTO AS MR. RICHMOND SAID IF IT'S AN APARTMENT COMPLEX WE'RE TALKING OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD WITH OLDER PEOPLE AND THERE IS NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN. NO PARK AND NOTHING THERE AND IF THERE IS COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY THERE IS PLENTY OF PROPERTIES ON MADISON STREET. WHY DO WE HAVE TO MOVE UP INTO A RESIDENTIAL ZONE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

THIS IS AN OLD SCHOOL AREA. SO WHAT REALLY CONCERNS ME IS THAT THIS IS -- THIS HAS BEEN PUSHED THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWING.

JUST AS THIS GENTLEMAN STATED AS WELL.

NO ONE KNEW OF THIS. PERHAPS IF THERE WAS MORE NOTIFICATION. SHE LIVED TWO DOORS AWAY FROM IT. AND WHY DIDN'T SHE GET NOTIFICATION. HEY GUESS WHAT IS GOING ON.

WE WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO. BUT NO ONE IS TELLING US ANYTHING AND THEY ARE TRYING TO SNEAK IT THROUGH WITHOUT ANY RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE ALL OF THESE YEARS.

I REALLY WANT YOU GUYS TO CONSIDER.

BECAUSE A DEEPER -- THE JOB IS TO LOOK AT THE OVERVIEW OF WHERE EVERYTHING IS GOING IN THE FUTURE.

AND RIGHT NOW THIS IS JUST IMPACTING A LITTLE SMALL FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. AN OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH IS GOING TO BE AN HISTORICAL DISTRICT.

BECAUSE IT'S GOING THERE SO WHY WOULD WE WANT TO DISRUPT THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON AND THAT IS WHY I GOT INVOLVED FOR MY MOTHER IN-LAW.

BECAUSE SHE IS EMOTIONAL LOW ATTACHED TO IT.

AND SHE HASH DEALING WITH THE STRESS FROM KROGERS ALL ALONG.

NOTHING IS DONE. SO WHAT IS THE ADDED TRASH, LIABILITY. WHAT IS THE ADDED VEHICLES COMING ON THROUGH. WE JUST REALLY DON'T KNOW.

AND THAT IS WHY I THINK WE ALL NEED TO STEP BACK AND QUESTION THIS A LITTLE BIT DEEPER AND HAVE A PLAN.

WITHOUT A PLAN WHY ARE WE GOING TO BATTLE WITH THIS.

WE NEED TO HAVE A PLAN AND THAT WAY THE COMMUNITY FEELS COMFORTABLE AS W WELL. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GROW IN AGE WITH IS THE SUDDEN CHANGE IN NOISE AND DESTRUCTION. WHERE YOU PUT YOUR HEART AND LIFE AND FLOWERS AND ANIMALS AND EVERYTHING IN THE GROUND THERE.

THIS IS HOME. SO THANK YOU ALL.

I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS. >> THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU, SIR. OUR RULES ALLOW IF YOU SPOKE IN FAVOR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REBUT ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID YOU MAY APPROACH AND YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

GIVE US YOUR NAME >> JONATHAN BLAKE.

JUST COMING UP HERE TO REITERATE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS ENCOURAGE COMMERCIAL GROWTH IN THAT AREA.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE MIGHT ATTRACT IS I KNOW THERE IS A STRONG DEMAND FOR DAYCARES RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE TWO UNDER TWO AND IT'S HARD TO GET INTO.

I'M SURE YOU KNOW THE SAME. ALSO THE INDUSTRIES THAT ARE CLOSE TO LOWS THAT IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO CATER TO.

[00:40:03]

THOSE THAT OPERATE DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.

JUST CAN'T OPERATE OUT OF THEIR OWN HOME BUT NEED A PLACE TO GO TO WORK. SO AND I WOULD ALSO REITERATE THAT ANYTHING THAT WE DO WILL HAVE TO HAVE A SITE PLAN AND THAT IS THE NEXT STEP. I HOPE THAT I'VE ANSWERED SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT SOME OF MY FELLOW MEMBERS OF MONTGOMERY BROUGHT FORWARD AND I HOPE WE CAN GET THIS PASSED.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU.

WE NOW ALLOW FOR REBUTTAL. IF YOU SPOKE AGAINST ORDINANCE 74 AND WOULD LIKE TO OFFER REBUTTAL YOU'RE WELCOME TO APPROACH AND THAT ALLOWS FOR ONE PERSON TO SPEAK FOR THREE MINUTES. LOOKS -- ONE PERSON, THREE MINUTES. IF YOU WOULD GIVE US YOUR NAME

ADDRESS. >> I'M PASTOR MITCHELL HAMILTON.

I LIVE AT 189 LIBERTY PARKWAY. I'VE BEEN LIVING THERE FOR ELEVEN YEARS. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COMMUNITY COME SUMMERTIME THERE IS CHILDREN THAT ARE PLAYING OUT THERE IN THE STREETS BECAUSE THERE IS NO SIDEWALKS.

AND PEOPLE ARE WALKING BACK AND FORTH TO THE STORE DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME. WE HAVE SIGNS THAT SAYS WE HAVE AUTISTIC CHILDREN AT PLAY. AND I HAVE A PROBLEM, I HAVE A CONCERN THAT THE TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BE COMING THERE.

WE HAVE CHILDREN ALL THE WAY AROUND THE COMMUNITY.

WE ALL GET ALONG. AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD BRING A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND I'M WORRYING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN. I'M ALSO WORRYING ABOUT WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS THIS IS GOING TO BRING.

WHAT MORE TRAFFIC THIS IS GOING TO BRING.

AND THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN AS WELL AS ADULTS FROM KROGERS TO LIBERTY PARKWAY WHERE I LIVE AT THERE IS A HILL AND A STOP SIGN. THOSE CHILDREN ARE PLAYING FROM THERE ALL THE WAY DOWN LIBERTY PARKWAY ALL AROUND.

SO MY CONCERN IS THAT LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN HERE WE DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THIS. THIS IS WHAT I WOKE UP TO SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE I HAD TO GO TO CHURCH.

AND I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD HAD BEEN BROUGHT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AHEAD OF TIME WHERE WE WOULD HAVE TIME TO DISCUSS THIS.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A RUSH MOVE AN UNDERHANDED MOVE TO GET SOMETHING IN THERE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS NOT INVOLVED IN.

MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE CHILDREN AND THE HOUSES THAT ARE OVER THERE. RENT, WILL THAT GO UP BECAUSE THIS HOTEL OR APARTMENT THAT THEY PUT IN THERE.

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN? I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC.

RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE NOT READING THE SIGNS AND THEY ARE SPEEDING AND WE'VE GOT CHILDREN OUT THERE. WE'VE GOT ADULTS WALKING TO THE STORE. SO YOU KNOW WE'RE A QUIET COMMUNITY AND I WOULD LOVE TO KEEP IT AS SUCH.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU, WE HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, SIR. COUNCIL PERSON SMITH, YOU'RE

RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

MR. HAMILTON THANK YOU TORCHIERING YOUR THOUGHTS.

YOU SAID YOU WERE NOT NOTIFIED. UNTIL SUNDAY.

USUALLY THEY PUT A SIGN OUT THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A ZONE CHANGE IN THE AREA. WAS THERE NOT A SIGN?

>> NO. THERE WASN'T.

I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE. >> OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. >> LIKE I SAID WHEN WE WERE GETTING READY TO GO TO CHURCH IT WAS SOMEBODY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO BROUGHT THIS TO OUR ATTENTION AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY I'M HERE NOW AND I TOLD MY WIFE I'M GOING TO HAVE TO START COMING HERE A LOT MORE AND BEING INVOLVED.

>> AMEN. THANK YOU.

>> HANG ON -- PASTOR HAMILTON. HANG ON A MINUTE.

COUNCIL PERSONAL ENYOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

REQUEST IS BEING MADE. >> AT RITE AID?

IT'S BEHIND IT. >> IT'S THE TWO VACANT LOTS.

RITE AID. >> COUNCIL PERSONAL ENYOU HAD

THE FLOOR >> MY LAST QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE LETTERS WITHIN -- 100 FEET. SO DID THE RESIDENTS THERE NOT

GET THEIR LETTERS? >> NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

I DIDN'T KNOW NOTHING AND I'M WITHIN THE 100 FEET AND I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS HAPPENING UNTIL SUNDAY MORNING.

MY WIFE, SHE HAS THE PAPER THAT WE HAVE THAT WE GOT SUNDAY MORNING THAT WAS STICKING IN OUR DOOR.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON -- REYNOLDS. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

>> FIRST I SHARE THE CONCERNS WITH THE RESIDENTS BUT I'M PRETTY CERTAIN THERE WAS A SIGN. UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE A FEW MONTHS BEHIND. IT WAS DONE TWO MAYBE THREE MONTHS AGO AND THEN OUR ORIGINAL MEETING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FIRST OF JANUARY AND IT'S BEEN DELAYED.

SO THE SIGN WOULD HAVE BEEN I THINK NOVEMBER/DECEMBER AND I DO WANT TO SAY I SAW THE SIGN BECAUSE I DROVE THESE NEIGHBORHOODS BEFORE I GOT READY FOR THE COUNCIL.

SO I DID SEE THE SIGN. NOW THE LETTERS I'M PRETTY CERTAIN THEY WENT OUT BUT THAT IS NOT ANYTHING I CAN TALK

ABOUT. >> COUNCIL PERSON STREETMAN.

MY NAME IS ADAM BLICK. WE ARE TRYING TO GET THIS ZONING CHANGE FROM R3 WHICH IS TWO SEPARATE LOTS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR SIX TOWNHOMES OR SIX UNIT TOWNHOMES.

TO AN R4 ZONING CHANGE WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR APPROXIMATELY 9-10 UNITS. THE PLAN FOR THESE UNITS IS NOT TO RENT THEM OUT. IT IS TO SELL THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

THE REASON WHY WE'RE SEEKING TO COMBINE THE TWO LOTS IS TO ADD MORE DENSITY TO THE AREA WHICH WOULD ALSO DECREASE THE SALES PRICE FOR THOSE UNITS. RIGHT NOW WITH -- I'M ALSO A CONTRACTOR -- WITH THE WAY THAT BUILDING IS IN CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE LOT PRICES -- CONSTRUCTION FEES, BUILDING

[00:50:05]

MATERIALS, EVERYTHING IS ESCALATING.

THERE IS NOT ANYTHING AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET FOR 225 OR UNDER.

HOPEFULLY IF WE CAN RECEIVE THIS ZONING CHANGE WE'RE LOOKING AT A SALES PRICE FOR THE TWO BEDROOM UNITS FOR $170,000 TO $180,000.

SO, THAT IS WHY WE'RE SEEKING THE ZONING CHANGE.

WE'RE REALLY WANTING TO ADD TO THE DENSITY TO THE PROPERTY TO ALLOW THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME YOUNGER FAMILIES TO MOVE INTO THE AREA. RETIREES.

THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY AT

THAT PRICE RANGE. >> COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS

YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. >> HI.

I AGAIN DROVE THIS AREA AND I HAVE A CONCERN THAT THE ROADS ARE VERY NARROW. AND THAT BEHIND THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY THERE IS ACREAGE OF R3 AND THIS IS ONLY THE DROP IN THE BUCKET AND THERE IS NO ONE ADDRESSING HOW NARROW THOSE ROADS ARE. I COULD NOT PASS A CAR.

AND WHEN I FIRST TURNED OFF PROVIDENCE BOULEVARD AT THE TOP OF THE HILL THAT WAS ALSO VERY NARROW.

SO DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO LEAVE A SET BACK.

A SIDEWALK FOR WHEN THEY COME THROUGH TO WIDEN THAT ROAD TO BUILD IN THE BACK? HAS THAT BEEN ADDRESSED?

>> WITH THE TERRAIN THAT IS IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY AND ALSO MOST OF SURROUNDING AREAS OWNED BY THE CITY'S WATER TREATMENT PLANT -- SO I DON'T THINK THAT IS AN AREA THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED. AND IT'S PRETTY SEVERE DROP TOWARD THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY. TALKING WITHIN THE PROPERTY 40 FEET OR SO. SO THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOMETHING COULD BE BUILT THERE I DON'T KNOW.

THE ROAD DEPTH OR THE WIDTH OF THE ROAD NOTHING WAS BROUGHT TO ME DURING THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION OR ANYTHING -- NOTES ON THAT SO I'M NOT AWARE OF THE WIDTH OF THE ROAD.

I'VE MET OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.

BUT I CAN'T SPEAK TO ANY PLAN THAT WE WOULD HAVE FOR THAT.

>> WELL, I HEAR THAT YOU SAID THE WATER PLANT IS AT THE END OF CEDAR COURT. THAT DEAD ENDS INTO R3.

THERE IS ACREAGE IN R3. THE WATER PLANT IS FURTHER DOWN FROM LOOKING AT THE MAP. SO, I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE

ROADS BEFORE WE IN FILL. >> OKAY.

7 >> COUNCIL PERSONAL EN.

>> SO * YOU'RE GOING FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF BUILDING SIX HOMES TO THE POSSIBILITY OF BUILDING NINE.

>> YES, MA'AM. WHAT WE WOULD TRY TO DO IF THE ZONING DIDN'T PASS WE WOULD HAVE TO DO A TRIPLEX JUST TO MAKE THE PLANNED FEASIBLE AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN ESCALATED PRICE IN SALES -- THAT WOULD BE OUT OF WHAT WE'RE WANTING TO ACHIEVE.

>> SO YOUR PLAN IS TO BUILD NINE HOMES AND THEY WILL BE

AFFORDABLE. >> NINE TOWNHOMES.

>> AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE CONNECTED.

ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE GARAGES? >> THE TERRAIN WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR GARAGES. AND THE DEPTH OF THE LOT WITH PARKING AND EVERYTHING. SO THEY WOULD BE TWO BEDROOM, TWO AND A HALF BATH. REAR FACING.

>> HOW DOES THAT LOOK FOR PARKING WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR

OWN PRIVATE DRIVEWAY? >> SO I'M NOT SURE OF OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. MY ENGINEER HAS THAT PLANNED OUT. BUT I THINK PER BEDROOM YOU HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY PARKING SPOTS AND THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE THE

NINE TO 10 UNIT. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> COUNCIL PERSON STREETMAN. >> WHERE AND THAT MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR YOUR ENGINEER. WHERE DO YOU PLAN ON THE

ENTRANCE TO THE PROPERTY BEING? >> IT'S EITHER IF WE CAN GET THOSE COMBINED IT WOULD BE AT THE FIRST PART OF THE FIRST LOT OR AT THE REAR OF THE SECOND LOT.

>> SO IT COULD BE FURTHER DOWN IN THE NARROW PART.

>> I THINK RIGHT NOW THE LOTS THE TWO LOTS ARE PRETTY SQUARE SO WE COULD HAVE THE CLOSER PART TO PROVIDENCE BOULEVARD.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

[00:55:01]

>> COUNCIL PERSON RIDGE. >> -- REDD YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

>> THE NINE TOWNHOMES ARE ALL NINE OF THEM GOING TO BE CONNECTED? ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE THREE,

THREE, THREE >> ALL CONNECTED IN ORDER TO FIT ON THE SITE SO THEY WOULD HAVE SHARING WALLS.

>> AND YOU'RE NOT USING THESE AS RENTALS.

WHAT DID YOU SAY ONE OF THEM WOULD COST?

>> IF WE WERE ABLE TO DO WHAT WE ARE PROJECTING -- $170,000 TO

THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON SMITH.

>> THANK YOU FOR COMING FORWARD. I'VE GOT A COMPLAINT FROM SOME CITIZENS ABOUT THE LAND BEING VERY NARROW AND ALSO THAT I KNOW THAT AREA VERY WELL. IT'S KIND OF LIKE A LANE.

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. ONLY ONE CAR CAN GO UP THAT LANE AT A TIME. NOW IT'S A DEADENED AT THE END OF THE LANE. IT'S ABOUT 75 FEET.

50 FEET. SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT IT'S A

DEADENED. >> SO ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS

WAS TO CONNECT THAT T. >> WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO CONNECT? CAN YOU EXPLAIN?

>> -- DICE, YES. >> DICE LANE IS VERY SMALL TOO.

THAT IS A ONE LANE CAR ENTRANCE. YOU'VE GOT TO WAIT UNTIL ONE CAR COMES BACK DOWN BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN DRIVE UP IT.

I KNOW. YOU KNOW WHY I KNOW.

BECAUSE I HAVE FAMILY THAT LIVE ON THAT LANE AND I USED TO LIVE THERE. AT THE END THERE IS A DEADENED.

[01:00:01]

TWO * HOUSES SIT ON DICE LANE. IF YOU GO UP THAT LANE YOU'RE GOING TO TURN INTO SOMEBODY'S YARD TO GET OUT OF THAT LANE.

YOU'RE GOING TO HIT SOMEBODY'S MAILBOX.

THEY'VE RAN INTO PEOPLE'S YARDS. I'VE SEEN THIS WITH MY OWN EYES.

THE FIRE TRUCK CANNOT EVEN GO UP WITHOUT GOING INTO THE YARD OF ONE OF THE RESIDENCE. THAT IS TOO SMALL.

UNLESS THAT LANE IS WIDENED I CANNOT VOTE FOR THIS.

AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT THESE PEOPLE IN THIS SITUATION.

THEY ARE ALREADY DEALING WITH PROBLEMS WITH THIS.

THAT LANE HAS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEARS.

ONE CAR IN AND ONE CAR OUT. AND TO BACK UP YOU HAVE TO GO IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S LANE. IT'S SOMEBODY ELSE'S YARD

>> AND THAT WAS PART OF WHEN THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION AGREED TO MOVE THIS FAIRED IS THAT WE WOULD AGREE WHATEVER THE STREET DEPARTMENT WANTED THAT WE WOULD DO.

>> AND ALSO -- >> IT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH

THE STREET DEPARTMENT AS WELL >> ALSO APARTMENTS -- THEY ARE

AGAINST THAT TOO. >> I'M NOT BUILDING APARTMENTS.

R6 IS THE SINGLE FAMILY. SMALL AFFORDABLE HOUSES.

>> I'VE LOOKED AT THEM I. KNOW. I'VE INVESTIGATED THAT.

I KNOW FOR SURE. SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS THIS.

I JUST THINK THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE OVER CROWDED.

I THINK THAT IT WILL MAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNSAFE.

IT'S GOING TO BE A TRAFFIC PROBLEM AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS A GOOD PLACE TO PUT THOSE APARTMENTS THERE.

THOSE SMALL HOUSES. THERE ARE GOING TO BE TOO MANY.

IT'S GOING TO RUN THE TWO ELDERLY PEOPLE OUT OF THERE.

>> HELLO. MY NAME IS -- LOPEZ.

AND I LIVE AT 620 HIDDEN VALLEY DRIVE.

JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE THINGS I DID SEE ONE OF THE THINGS I'M RUNNING FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER FOR DISTRICT 4.

THIS PROPERTY ACTUALLY SITS ON DISTRICT 4 AND NOT DISTRICT 5 AT THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY. ON A PERSONAL NOTE I LOVE THIS ORDINANCE. THIS IS WHAT REZONING.

THIS IS WHAT CLARKSVILLE IS SUPPOSED TO BE B. WE HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS FAMILY THAT -- HAS WORKED YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS TO BUILD UP THIS -- BUSINESS AND NOW THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO EXPAND. I'M LIKE YES.

PLEASE. GIVE THEM PERMISSION.

LET THEM EXPAND. I ACTUALLY LIVE IN WARD 7.

BUT THE PROPERTY THAT WE LIVE BEHIND GARY MATTHEWS -- AND ACROSS THE STREET FROM LIBERTY PARKING LOT.

IT TAKES A MINUTE TO GO TO WILMA RUDOLPH BOULEVARD.

SO WE'VE GOT TO PASS THIS STORE EVERY TIME.

SO FUNNY STORY REAL QUICK. THE DAY THAT THIS ORDINANCE WAS TO COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL IT WAS SNOWED OUT.

I BELIEVE -- -- AS USUAL I RAN OUT OF B -- BREAD AND MILK.

SO I'LL GO ACROSS THE STREET. DOLLAR GENERAL WAS CLOSED.

[01:05:03]

I LOOKED AT THE SHELL GAS STATION.

AT THE CORNER -- IT WAS RIGHT THERE BY LIBERTY PARK.

THEY WERE CLOSED TOO. WHO WAS OPEN? THEY WAS OPEN FOR BUSINESS. SNOW, ICE, THEY KNEW THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AND AN ABILITY TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

SO -- WHILE I DO NOT LIVE IN YOUR DISTRICTTH BUSINESS IS IN YOUR DISTRICT AND I DO FUELY SUPPORT AND BEG THE CITY COUNCIL PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ALLOW THIS FAMILY TO EXPAND AND I BELIEVE THEY WANT TO PUT A SUPERMARKET TO RIVAL DOLLAR GENERAL AND I'M AS AMERICAN AS THEY COME.

I'M ABOUT AS CAPITALIST AS THEY COME.

LET THEM COMPETE. IT WILL BE BETTER FOR OUR

NEIGHBORHOOD. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. LOPEZ.

>> MR. LOPEZ, YOU'RE SAYING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO AM I ONTH RIGHT ONE, 83. YOU'RE SAYING THAT THEY PLAN ON BUILDING ANOTHER PROPERTY BUT THEY ARE ALSO TALKING ABOUT

MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING? >> IF YOU GO IN FRONT OF THEIR STORE RIGHT OFF TO THE SIDE THEY HAVE A BIG BANNER THAT SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO PUT IN A SUPERMARKET.

>> AND THE POSSIBILITY OF HOUSING.

>> YES. THERE ARE TWO EMPTY PROPERTIES -- THE PROPERTY IS AN "L" SHAPE SO THEY CAN REDO THEIR STORE TO A SUPERMARKET AND ONE OF THE SKINNY HOUSES THAT YOU DON'T LIKE RIGHT THERE ON THE SIDE.

I LAUGH BECAUSE I SAID THE SAME THING WHEN I SAW THOSE SMALL SKINNY HOUSES. WHO DOES THIS? BUT THEY SOLD AND THEY SOLD FAST AND PEOPLE ARE HAPPY IN THEM.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON RICHAMOND. >> DO THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER'S POINT. *.

THIS IS 83. ALLOWING FOR COMMERCIAL ONLY BUT NOT ANY RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT. THE INTENT IS TO BUILD SOME TYPE OF TOWN HOME FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. A BIT AMBIGUOUS.

I DON'T KNOW -- -- >> WE'RE IN PUBLIC HEARING NOW.

>> MOTION MADE AND PROPERLY SECONDED.

ANY COMMENT ON QUESTION FROM COUNCIL? COUNCIL PERSON MARQUEE YOU'RE RECOGNIZED?

>> THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

AND QUICKLY JUST TO ADDRESS THE COMMENTS EARLIER.

THE COMMUNITY DID REACH OUT ABOUT THE SINKHOLES.

I DID SPEAK TO THE ENGINEER. THEY HAVE A PLAN THEY DID SURVEY THE LAND AND PUT SOMETHING IN PLACE FOR WHAT THEY WANT TO DO FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. I SPOKE TO THE COMMUNITY OUT THERE. RIGHT NOW THE LAND IS C5.

AND SO IT'S OWNED AND GOING TO BE DEVELOPED.

SO AT THIS POINT IT'S GOING TO BE EITHER RESIDENTIAL OR STAY COMMERCIAL AND IT WILL BE DEVELOPED COMMERCIALLY.

WHEN I SPOKE TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE TWO OPTIONS THEY PREFER IT TO BE RESIDENTIAL. I KNOW THAT MR. SINGLETERRY HAS WORKED WITH THE CITY TO LOWER HIS FOOTPRINT ON THE COMMUNITY.

THAT HE IS GOING TO FIX WITH HIS PLANS THAT WAY -- IF THERE IS SOME IMPROVEMENT WITH TRAFFIC AND DRAINAGE AS WELL AND AGAIN THE RESIDENTS THAT I SPOKE TO -- ARE MORE F -- IN FAVOR OF THAT.

FOR THE SAKE OF TRANSPARENCY SPEAK TO THREE RESIDENTS WHO WERE AGAINST IT BUT THEY ONLY WANTED THE LAND STAYING VACANT WHICH IS NOT AN OPTION AT THE CURRENT MOMENT.

SO COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL. THAT IS WHERE WE'RE AT AND THAT RESIDENTIAL WOULD BE THE BETTER OPTION OF THE TWO.

THANKS. >> COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS

YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING. I'VE BEEN ATTENDING THESE RPC MEETINGS AND I HEAR THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

AND THEY SAY NOT EVERY PIECE OF LAND HAS TO BE BUILT ON.

I HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND THAT THEY ARE GOING TO IMPROVE IT. BUT AT SOME POINT ARE WE MAKING A BUYERS BEWARE IF WE HAVE TO BUILD UP THESE PIECES OF PROPERTY THAT WERE NOT BUILT ON FOR YEARS BECAUSE THERE WERE OTHER OPTIONS AND NOW BECAUSE OF THE PRICE OF LAND WE'RE GOING BACK IN AND USING PROPERTY THAT NOBODY WANTED TO USE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WORTH BUILDING ON OR SPENDING THE MONEY TO MAKE IT BUILDABLE. SO AT SOME POINT WE HAVE TO DECIDE ARE WE CREATING BUYER BEWARE AND IN THIS DISTRICT WE'VE BUILT NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEN THEY'VE FLOODED AND WE'VE BUILT ON PROPERTY THAT SHOULD NOT HAD BEEN BUILT ON.

SO IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

[01:15:01]

>> MAYOR I GUESS I ASK YOU THIS OR JUST OVER-ALL -- AGAIN I HAVE THE CONCERN WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIGHT AND IT'S SHARED WITH THE HOSPITAL. AND WE CONTINUE TO BUILD ON AND WE'RE DOING THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN OUR COMMUNITY.

OUR REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION JUST APPROVED AN AREA ROSS FARMS THAT HAS 900 HOMES WITH ONLY ONE WAY IN AND OUT.

AND THEY ARE GOING TO SHARE ANOTHER WAY ON ROSS ON POWELL LANE WHICH IS NOT AN IMPROVED ROAD WITH NO SIDEWALK FOR ALL OF THIS TRAFFIC. I KNOW THERE WERE CONCESSIONS MADE BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT BIG PICTURES AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW. AND I KNOW IN THIS GROUP WE SAY THEY'LL FIGURE IT OUT AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND IT WILL BE WORKED OUT BUT IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TODAY WITH POWELL LANE AND ROSS FARMS. AND I LOOK AT THIS PROPERTY AND THE AERIAL VIEW.

DO YOU KNOW IS THAT PART OF THE PLAN TO CONNECT BELLAMY LANE AND

GIVE THAT AREA ANOTHER OUT? >> I DON'T KNOW.

>> I HAVE A GREAT CONCERN FOR OUR HOSPITALS.

BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS GOING TO GO TO THE LIGHT.

I WOULD NOT WANT TO ARE TURN LEFT ON TO THAT ROAD AND WITH THE RESIDENTS SAYING -- I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IN FILLING AND BUILDING BUT WE, I KNOW WE'VE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE FOR THE YEAR. WE'VE PASSED MORE ZONING.

IT'S BEEN HISTORICAL AND WE NEED TO LET OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND OUR PLANS CATCH UP AND SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING.

BECAUSE WE KEEP PILING IN WITHOUT A VIEW.

WE HAVE A PROJECT GOING ON RIGHT NOW AT THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION WHERE THEY ARE TAKING A LOOK AND GOING TO MAKE A NEW PLAN. I HAVE CONCERNS THAT WE CANNOT KEEP THIS GOING. WE'RE AGGRAVATING AND FRUSTRATING OUR RESIDENTS WHO ARE PAYING THE TAX DOLLARS AND WE KEEP BUILDING WITHOUT ADDING INTO THEIR SCHOOLS WITHOUT SAYING WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A SIDEWALK.

IF WE CAN SAY WE'VE GOT A PLAN THEN I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

BUT I'M STARTING TO HAVE A PROBLEM TO KEEP SAYING YES AND WITH NO PLAN. SO I'M GOING TO START SAYING NO UNLESS THERE ARE COMMENTS IN WHAT YOU GIVE US IN WRITING SO WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR FIVE-YEAR, 10 YEAR? FOR THE SCHOOL. FOR ANOTHER EXIT BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE TO BUILD ON THAT ROAD RIGHT NOW FOR OUR HOSPITAL.

I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT OUR HOSPITAL APPRECIATES IT WITH

ONLY ONE ENTRANCE. >> COUNCIL PERSON ZACHARIAS.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'M ONCE AGAIN GOING TO DIRECT EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION TO THE COMMENTS FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

THE ROSS VIEW SCHOOL COMPLEX IS INCREDIBLY OVER CROWDED AND WE'RE GETTING KIRKWOOD. THAT IS COMING.

AND JUST TODAY THE SCHOOL BOARD SENT OUT A NOTIFICATION DURING THIS MEETING THAT THE RESDISTRICTING PLANS HAVE BEEN APPROVED BUT WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THE SCHOOL COMPLEX IS GOING TO ONCE AGAIN BE CROWDED. I THINK WE'VE PROVED FIVE OR SIX NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ROSS FARMS. WHICH THE ORIGINAL REZONING WAS PASSED BEFORE I GOT HERE.

I'M ASKING MY COLLEAGUES TO PLEASE VOTE AGAINST THIS

ORDINANCE. >> THANK YOU.

COUNCIL PERSON BUTLER. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I THINK BECAUSE IT'S AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.

THIS IS ONE OF OUR OLDER ONES. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT IT WAS WARD 12. I THINK THIS PORTION IS PART OF WARD 11. HOWEVER, THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE AREA THAT I WAS ELECTED TO REPRESENT AND I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT -- I DON'T GET A LOT OF REZONINGS IN MY WARD. I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.

AND I HAD NOT GOTTEN ANY COMMENTS FOR OR AGAINST THIS.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE TONIGHT AND I DID WANT TO SAY -- THAT ONE OF MY OPPONENTS FROM WHEN I RAN DID A LOT OF DOOR KNOCKING AROUND BELLAMY LANE AND HE WANTED ME TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THE BELLAMY AREA RESIDENTS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THIS. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY COMMENT THAT I GOT SPECIFICALLY TO ME.

OTHERWISE I ECHO THE SENTIMENTS OF ALL OF THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS.

AND ON THE FLIP SIDE IT'S LIKE WE DO THIS EVERY MONTH.

[01:20:02]

ACTUALLY WE MISSED TWO MONTHS. WE NEED TO FIX ROADS AND BUILD SCHOOLS. WE NEED TO BUILD HOUSES AND IT'S A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. THAT IS THE COMMENTS THAT I GOT FROM WITHIN THE WARD. THANK YOU.

>> ANYONE ELSE HAVE COMMENT ON QUESTION REGARDING ORDINANCE 73?

COUNCIL PERSON RICHAMOND. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I TOO DO CONCUR AND AGREE WITH PREVIOUS SPEAKERS AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER AS A BODY IS I MIGHT BE OFF ON THIS BUT I BELIEVE SOME OF THESE ARE INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES AND NOT ZONING ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW WE CAN COURSE CORRECT THESE THROUGH ZONING WHEREAS WE COULD COURSE CORRECT DURING BUDGET TIME WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE THE TRANSPORTATION PROJECT AND THINGS THAT WE NEED TO BRING, SOLUTIONS THAT WE NEED TO BRING TO THE TABLE.

I FEEL LIKE AND SOMEONE CAN SPEAK TO IT -- WE'RE POTENTIALLY PUNISHING THOSE THAT WANT TO REZONE PROPERTY.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE WEIGHING IN ON YOU CAN DO THIS OR THAT.

BECAUSE THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE CONDITIONAL ZONING WHICH IS NOT IN OUR JURISDICTION AND POLICE POWER.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT KNOWN.

THESE ARE TOUGH DECISIONS. AND AT SOME POINT MAYBE WE SHOULD DO A COMMUNITY VIRTUAL WORKSHOP AROUND HELPING THE COMMUNITY BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT.

BECAUSE WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE UGLY ADOLESCENT YEARS AS A CITY.

JUST UNFORTUNATE. WE WERE GOOFY.

OUR VOICES CHANGED. OUR BODIES DID WEIRD THINGS AND IT'S TIME TO PUT ON OUR SEAT BELTS AND REALIZE WE'RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE SOME TURBULENCE AS WE GET THROUGH THESE GROWING TIMES.

>> COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS >> WE ARE RESPONSIBLE.

EVERY TIME WE REZONE SOMETHING FROM AN R1 TO R6 OR WE ADD DENSITY WE KNOW WHEN WE'RE VOTING THAT WE'RE ADDING DENSITY. WE'RE ADDING PORTABLE.

AND TRAFFIC. EVERY TIME I OPEN MY E-MAIL THERE IS ANOTHER CRASH. ANOTHER PERSON WHO WAS HIT BY A CAR. AND WE'RE STILL WORKING ON SIDEWALKS. WE'RE CONTINUING TO ADD CARS AND PEOPLE. I UNDERSTAND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

BUT WHAT GOOD IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING IF PUCK NOT WALK ANYWHERE WITHOUT GETTING RUN OVER BY A CAR OR THERE IS NO PLACE TO GO TO SCHOOL. I JUST WANT TO KNOW AND I'VE GONE TO THE SCHOOLS AND I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A PLAN BEYOND KIRKWOOD.

SO SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO FORCE THE HAND.

I GUESS MY ATTEMPT HERE IS WE DON'T CONTROL THE SCHOOLS.

WE CONTROL WHERE WE PUT PEOPLE BUT WE DON'T CONTROL THE SCHOOLS BUT IF WE START SAYING NO AND THEY START PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO COUGH UP A PLAN.

IF I KNOW THERE IS A PLAN I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

BUT THERE IS NOT A PLAN AND THAT IS WHAT I'M WORRIED B. AND I DON'T WANT TO KEEP ADDING TO A PLAN WITHOUT A STATED PLAN AND I DON'T CONTROL THE PLAN BUT I CAN CONTROL NOT MAKING IT WORSE.

>> COUNCIL PERSON BUTLER. >> THANKS, AGAIN, MAYOR.

I FORGOT TO MENTION SOMETHING BEFORE.

I'M LOOKING AT THE MAPS OF ALL OF THESE AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO MR. TENDELL ABOUT.

I ALSO LIVE IN A ONE WAY IN ONE WAY OUT.

IT'S A FIASCO BACK THERE. 275 HOUSES.

WE CANNOT GO ANYWHERE AND WE'RE SMOOSHED BETWEEN CHICK FIL-A AND 24. SO I GET THAT.

AND YET EVERY TIME WE TRY TO CONNECT PARTICULARLY A CUL-DE-SAC OR NEIGHBORHOOD IN THROUGH ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH IS GOOD. THAT IS GOOD FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES. THAT IS GOOD FOR TRAFFIC.

NOBODY WANTS TO DO THAT. WE HAVE GOT THE E-MAILS IN THE IN BOX. DON'T LET THEM DO THAT.

THIS IS CORRECT. THESE ARE GROWING PAINS.

AND PARTICULARLY I KNOW THAT OUR STREET'S DIRECTOR IS RETIRING.

BUT WHEN THE NEXT GUY COMES IN WE NEED TO SIT DOWN.

I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS -- AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHICH OF THESE PLACES WE CAN CONNECT. TO TRY TO START HELP HADDING THE CITY. I WANTED TO SAY THAT BEFORE.

IN REGARD TO A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID SINCE I SPOKE -- IT'S SUCH A CHICKEN AND EGG SITUATION.

SO WE ADD DENSITY. DENSITY DOES CREATE PROBLEMS.

[01:25:03]

HOWEVER, NOT ADDING DENSITY AND CONSIDER WHERE I LIVE.

I LIVE OFF OF EXIT 4. WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO PUT IN THE SECTION 8 HOUSING WHICH BY THE WAY I SUPPORTED AND MY NEIGHBORHOOD WANTED TO SACRIFICE ME FOR.

THE REASON THAT THEY CHOSE THAT AREA IS BECAUSE OF THE POPULATION IN THAT AREA. AND HERE IS WHAT IS WILD.

I START LOOKING AT THE MAP OF WHERE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE TENNESSEE HOUSING WANTS TO GIVE THEM A GRANT TO BUILD THESE HOMES HERE. I THINK YOU HAD A MEETING WITH THEM ACTUALLY MAYOR IT'S LIKE HOTELS AND SINGLE FAMILIES SO BY NOT BUILDING I UNDERSTAND THAT BUILDING THE HOMES IS CAUSING PROBLEMS OF ITS OWN.

I WILL NEVER DID DIDN'T THAT. BUT WHAT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THOSE PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN HOTELS.

THOSE PEOPLE ARE LIVING TWO FAMILIES DEEP IN SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THESE ARE ACTUAL PROBLEMS. SO I GET THIS A LOT OF TIMES. IF YOU JUST STOP BUILDING PEOPLE WILL STOP MOVING HERE. THAT IS NOT TRUE.

WE KNOW THAT FROM THE INFLATION GOING ON.

WE TALK ABOUT THIS A LOT AND I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO KEEP BEATING THE DEAD HORSE BUT I NEED TO KEEP STICKING UP FOR THESE PEOPLE. I JUST -- I ALSO DON'T THINK THAT A MORATORIUM IS GOING TO PUT PRESSURE AND IT'S NOT THE COUNTY COMMISSION. THEY NEED TO BUILD SCHOOLS.

WE'VE GOT TO DO IT. HOW TO PUT THAT PRESSURE ON THEM I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. BUT WE DO HERE AND WHY I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO INCREASE DENSITY IS FOR THOSE THAT ALREADY LIVE HERE AND THEY ARE LIVING SUBSTANDARD BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE HOMES FOR THEM.

SO THANK YOU, GUYS. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PERSON

ALLEN. >> I WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON A COUPLE OF THINGS. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I'VE BEEN BACK HOME IN MARYLAND WHICH IS A VERY DENSE POPULATION. HOWEVER IN THAT DENSE POPULATION THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS CAUGHT UP WITH THE GROWTHS.

WE'VE GOT OVERPASSES AND ALL OF THESE HAPPENING UP NORTH RIGHT NOW. IF WE LEAVE A CERTAIN THING WHERE ONLY TWO HOUSES WOULD BE WHAT -- IS THE LIKELIHOOD WE'LL GET A NEW ROAD. IF IT'S IN FILLING AND MORE DENSER WE'LL GET THE ROADS. OUR CITY IS GROWING.

PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP COMING.

WE CAN EITHER BUILD HOMES -- OR WE CAN HAVE PEOPLE LIVING, TRYING TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY ALL THE TIME.

WE SAY PEOPLE WILL QUICK COMING BUT THE MILITARY IS COMING EVERY DAY. WE'VE GOT NEW SOLDIERS COMING EVERY DAY. WE'VE GOT YOUNG PEOPLE COMING IN. WE'RE TRYING TO ATTRACT A YOUNGER POPULATION TO CLARKSVILLE.

WE NEED THE HOMES. WE CANNOT KEEP SAYING WELL, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE COME FORWARD SAYING WE DON'T WANT THIS BUILT BUT WHAT IF SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE STOPPED THEIR PROPERTY FROM BEING REZONED THEN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE LIVED HERE EITHER. WE MOVE TO OUR CITY BECAUSE THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE RIGHT NOW. OKAY.

I GET IT. BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO MOVE HERE AND COME HERE.

WE HAVE TO IN FILL AND WE HAVE TO -- WE AS A COUNCIL HAVE TO LOOK AT PUSHING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE TO GO A LITTLE BIT FASTER. WE CANNOT -- NOT BUILD HOUSES BECAUSE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT CAUGHT UP.

I'M NOT SAYING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ZONING OR ANY OTHER PARTICULAR ZONING. LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN CLARKSVILLE. DO WE WANT PEOPLE LIKE THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL PERSON SAID LIVING IN HOTELS.

OUR SOLDIERS LIVING IN HOTELS UNTIL THEY CAN GET A HOUSE.

WE DON'T. LET'S THINK ABOUT THAT.

THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON HOLLEMAN.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. IF YOU LOOK AT GROWTH AROUND THE CITY. YEARLY APPRECIATION.

SOME NEIGHBORHOODS ARE GROWING AT 12% APPRECIATION RATES PER YEAR. AND WHAT SEE ESPECIALLY IN THE HOUSING MARKET PEOPLE WILL BE LIKE HOLY CRAP.

BUYING A HOUSE IS RIDICULOUS. I'M GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE MARKET STABILIZES. THEN YOU HAVE MORE PEOPLE RENTING. RENT RATES GO UP.

SO I DREW A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PICTURE AGAIN.

[01:30:06]

SO YOU HAVE GOT YOUR PRICE AND TIME.

IT'S A BALANCING ACT. BETWEEN -- OUR GROWTH AND APPRECIATION RATES. DO WE WANT PEOPLE OF TO SAY I CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. I CAN'T AFFORD RENT.

THAT IS WHAT IT'S GETTING TOWARDS WITH ALL OF THE PRICE INCREASES AND ESPECIALLY LIKE THE MORE DEMAND WE'RE GETTING IT'S GETTING BACKED UP. IT'S LIKE I'VE GOT TO WAIT FOR MY HOUSE TO BE BUILT NOW. NOW I'VE GOT TO FIND A PLACE TO RENT. ARE THE SUPPLIES GOING TO BE THERE. LUMBER IS EXPENSIVE.

IF THAT FORCES THEM TO RENT -- ONE PLUS ONE -- AN INCREASING

NUMBER. >> I THINK TIME IS UP.

IF YOU WANT TO FINISH YOUR POINT AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON.

>> I'M AFTER DONE. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON REDD.

>> THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND THE COUNTY DOES HAVE SEVEN SCHOOLS THAT ARE IN THE WORKS. I THINK IT WAS SEVEN CURRENTLY.

BUT I AGREE WITH MANY OF THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS.

BUT THE COUNTY HAS BEEN PUT SUCH AN EMPHASIS ON DOWNTOWN AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD PUT EMPHASIS ON SCHOOLS AND NEIGHBORHOODS FIRST. CHARTS ARE COMING NEXT TIME

>> STAND BY. COUNCIL PERSON LITTLE.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT AND SAID ABOUT MAKING PLANS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

I KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE A LOT OF PLANS RIGHT NOW WORKING.

THE SCHOOL SYSTEM THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT THE MAYOR PUT TOGETHER ARE ALL PLANS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO TO COMBAT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN OUR CITY.

AND THEN THE LONGER WE WAIT TO EVEN TRY TO BUILD AND DO STUFF LIKE THAT THE MORE THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO COST.

FOR US TO EVEN START THE PROJECTS AND THEN THE HOUSES THAT WE DO HAVE AVAILABLE ARE GOING TO KEEP ON RISING BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING FOR ANYBODY TO GET AND PEOPLE HAVE TO START -- OUT BIDDING EACH OTHER JUST TO GET A HOUSE.

AND ONE THING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER IS THAT THESE PROJECTS AND PLANS IN PLACE DON'T HAPPEN INSTANTANEOUSLY.

WAIT UNTIL THE INFRASTRUCTURE CATCHES UP IT MIGHT TAKE TWO OR THREE YEARS. WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE BUILDING ANYTHING? WE CANNOT DO THAT.

BECAUSE WE HAVE COMPANIES. FACTORIES AND MILITARY COMING IN. WE HAVE TO PREPARE FOR THAT AND PART OF THAT ALONG WITH OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS HOUSING SO WE NEED TO MAKE THINGS AS AFFORDABLE AS POSSIBLE BY GETTING MORE HOUSES IN THERE YOU'RE BRINGING THE COST DOWN ALLOWING MORE PEOPLE TO MOVE IN AND ALLOWING CLARKSVILLE TO

PROVIDE MORE REVENUE. >> COUNCIL PERSON MARQUEE.

>> I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN DOING QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC. SO THE HOUSING MARKET RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN A BIG CRISIS. A HEALTHY HOUSING MARKET REQUIRES AT LEAST 1% OF ITS CURRENT POPULATION TO BE ON THE MARKET ACTIVE ON ANY GIVEN DAY. I HAVE 167,000.

WE ONLY HAD 305 HOMES ON THE MARKET.

THAT IS A SEVERE CRISIS AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS OF LAST YEAR 2021 IT WAS $265,000 THE MEDIAN PRICE.

FEBRUARY 15TH 47 HOMES WERE IN THE THAT PRICE RANGE.

YOU HAVE YOU HAVE 52% ARE VA LOANS.

62% OF OUR HOME BUYERS ARE USING THESE TYPES OF LOANS.

THEY ARE RESTRICTIVE ON WHAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BUY.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HOMES NOW THAT WERE ALLOWED -- THE 47 HOMES IT KNOCKS IT DOWN TO 22 HOMES.

SO WITHIN THIS PRICE RANGE YOU HAVE 79 A LOT OF PEOPLE -- WHICH PRICES OUT 79% OF THE HOME BUYERS WHO ARE IN THAT PRICE RANGE OF $265,000 ARE COMPETING FOR 25 HOMES.

[01:35:04]

THAT IS A HUGE CRISIS. AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET THE PRICES BACK DOWN AND GET PEOPLE IN HOMES SO THAT THEY ARE NOT LIVING IN HOTELS. THAT IS ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY.

THANK YOU >> ANYONE ELSE? COUNCIL PERSON RICHAMOND. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU READY TO VOTE? THIS IS ORDINANCE 73 BY THE WAY. ALL MEMBERS CAST YOUR VOTE.

EVERY MEMBER VOTED. ANY MEMBER WISH TO CHANGE THEIR

VOTE. >> 10 YES.

2 NO. 0 ABSTAIN.

>> ORDINANCE 73 ADOPTED FIRST READING.

>> ORDINANCE 74-2021-22. FIRST READING.

RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND I SO MOVE.

>> THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND PROPERLY SECONDED.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THERE IS ALREADY EMPTY PROPERTIES IN THIS AREA. IF YOU GO INTO THE KROGER COMPLEX THERE IS ACTUALLY A VERY LARGE BUSINESS OPEN THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED. AND IN THE AREA THERE ARE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT ARE EMPTY OR UNUSED.

THE RESIDENTS DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A LARGE BUSINESS ON THE CORNER. AND LET ME SEE -- I HAVE AN E-MAIL. AND SO THEY DO NOT NEED A BUFFER. AND SO I ASK THAT YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS BECAUSE AGAIN THE TRAFFIC AND THERE IS ALREADY EMPTY BUSINESSES. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER BUSINESS DISTRICT WHEN THERE IS BUILDINGS THAT ARE UNUSED.

>> COUNCIL PERSON STREETMAN. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I ACTUALLY VOTED AGAINST APPROVAL -- AT THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION. TO ME IT DID NOT FIT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WHAT YOU HAVE'S GOT THERE ARE HOMES. YOU'VE GOT R2 ALL AROUND THERE.

I RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT KROGER THERE.

A GROCERY STORE AND OTHER BUSINESSES.

YOU'VE GOT THE EMPTY BUSINESS LOCATED RIGHT THERE AND THERE IS A BUFFER IN BETWEEN THOSE. AND BY PUTTING A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THERE YOU ARE PUSHING BUSINESS INTO WHAT IS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND I RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN HAVE APARTMENTS WITHIN THE C2 ZONING HOWEVER IT WAS NEVER STATED BY THE DEVELOPER THAT THAT WAS WHAT THEY WERE PLANNING ON DOING. THEY COULD HAVE APPLIED FOR R4 SO TO ME I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD STAY RESIDENTIAL AS THAT IS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND I WILL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS ONE.

>> COUNCIL PERSON ZACHARIAS. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I'VE BEEN HOLDING ON TO THIS COMMENT.

IT APPLIES TO SEVERAL OF THESE THAT WE'VE HEARD TODAY.

I'VE HEARD THIS ARGUMENT SEVERAL TIMES THAT HERE WHEN WE'RE VOTING ON REZONING WE'RE NOT VOTING ON-SITE PLANS AND NOT APPROVING SITE PLANS. WE'RE JUST MAKING DECISIONS ON THE ZONING AND I'M STARTING TO FIND THAT ARGUMENT A LITTLE DISINGENUOUS. BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST PLACE THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THROUGH THEIR REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SOMETHING SHOULD BE REZONED. WHEN SOMETHING GOES WHEN A SITE PLAN GOES IN FRONT OF THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION THERE IS VERY LITTLE AND IF I'M WRONG I'M HAPPY TO BE WRONG ABOUT THIS. BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE PLACE FOR THE SITE APPROVAL IN THE SITE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR DISCRETION. IF THE SITE PLAN MEETS CERTAIN CRITERIA IT'S A STAMP AND GETS APPROVED.

THIS IS THE LAST OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY DISCRETION TO THIS DECISION MAKING PROCESS. WE'VE HEARD THE RESIDENTS SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN C2 -- I'M SORRY NOT INTERESTED IN COMMERCIAL HERE. WHEN WE'RE MAKING A DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE ZONING REQUEST WE NEED TO ASSUME THAT THE WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY GO THERE IS GOING TO GO THERE. BECAUSE ONCE THAT SITE PLAN HITS THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THEY THINK MAYBE THAT IS NOT THE BEST USE FOR THAT.

AS LONG AS IT MEETS CRITERIA IT'S GOING TO BE APPROVED.

NOT KNOWING IF THIS IS GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL WHICH THE RESIDENTS ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF IT -- IT WOULD APPEAR OR RESIDENTIAL WHICH THE RESIDENTS ARE ALSO NOT IN FAVOR IS ENOUGH

[01:40:05]

FOR ME TO VOTE NO ON THIS AS WELL

>> COUNCIL PERSON BUTLER. >> HELLO AGAIN.

I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. FIRST OF ALL C2 CANNOT HAVE HOTELS. OR CAN THEY? OKAY. THANKS.

AND THEN ONE OF THE SPEAKERS MENTIONED THAT THEIR MOTHER-IN-LAW I THINK IT WAS HAD BOUGHT THIS HOUSE OR THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SUBDIVISIONS IN 1945.

WHAT IS THE LIMIT FOR OUR HISTORICAL OVERLAY? I FEEL LIKE 45 IS REALLY LONG AGO.

BUT AT WHAT POINT DO WE CONSIDER IT HISTORICAL.

BECAUSE WE HAVE HISTORICAL AREAS.

DO WE NOT CONSIDER A PLACE THAT WAS BUILT IN '45 AN HISTORICAL

PLACE? >> JUST BECAUSE IT'S OLD DOESN'T MEAN IT'S HISTORICAL. I CAN SPEAK TO THAT.

>> 45 IS OLD. FOR A BUILDING.

>> MR. BAKER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE A SHOT

>> THE MAYOR JUST SAID IT AS WELL AS COULD BE SAID.

JUST BECAUSE IT'S OLD DOESN'T MEAN IT'S HISTORICAL IN A LEGAL

SENSE. >> I'M ASKING WHAT OUR ZONING

CODES SAY IS HISTORICAL? >> THINGS CAN BE DESIGNATED HISTORIC ZONES AND BUILDINGS AND THERE IS FEDERAL LAW AND ALSO STATE LAW. AND WE'VE GOT LOCAL LAWS.

THAT NEST UNDER THE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS THAT DEAL WITH IT.

BUT JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS OLD DOESN'T MEAN IT'S AUTOMATICALLY HAS LEGAL PROTECTION AS SOME HISTORIC AREA OR HISTORIC BUILDING. THERE IS A PROCESS FOR

DESIGNATING THAT. >> I JUST WOULD SUGGEST THAT MAYBE THE PERSON THAT SAID THAT MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO THAT.

DO YOU KNOW. THAT IS WHAT I WAS WONDERING B.

>> IT'S A VERY LENGTHY DETAILED COMPLEX PROCESS.

>> I THINK THAT IS BASICALLY ALL I WANTED TO SAY * ABOUT THAT.

BECAUSE WE ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SIGNS AND THE LETTERS. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS. >> COUNCIL PERSON REDD.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. REFERRING TO THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER. THE SITE PLAN COMES AFTER WE VOTE ON THIS AND WHEN THEY DO DO A SITE PLAN -- IN MANY CASES THEY HAVE TO SHOW HOW THE DRAINAGE IS GOING TO BE.

THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PUT UP PERHAPS -- THEY CAN BE REQUIRED JUST BECAUSE WE VOTE AND APPROVE IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN DO -- YOU'RE FREE TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BUFFER OR SOME OTHER THINGS AND MAYBE LANCE CAN TELL US SOME MORE STUFF.

>> IN A NUT SHELL BOTH YOU COUNCIL PERSON REDD AND ZACHARIAS ARE RIGHT. YOU GET TO WEIGH IN ON ZONING.

YOUR DISCRETION IS NOT UNFILTERED BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD SUE AND SAY YOU DID NOT HAVE GOOD REASONS FOR DENYING MY ZONING APPLICATION. IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS SPELLED OUT IN THE ZONING CODE. TYPICALLY THINGS LIKE TRAFFIC, AFFECT ON PUBLIC SERVICES OR PUBLIC SAFETY.

THINGS LIKE THAT. 7 AND NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE APPLICANT OR -- BUT TRAFFIC AND WE DON'T HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THAT. THAT IS A FACTOR YOU CAN CONSIDER IN DENYING A ZONING APPLICATION.

REGARDING SITE PLANS -- ARE APPROVED BY THE -- ARE ANY APPROVED BY THE RTC? --

>> SOME SITE PLANS HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION. YOU HAVE NO ROLE IN THAT PROCESS. *.

SOME SITE PLANS CAN BE APPROVED BY THE STAFF.

AND IT IS TRUE THAT IN THE SENSE THAT WHAT COUNCILMEMBER ZACHARIAS WAS SAYING YOU CANNOT WILLY-NILLY IMPOSE CONDITIONS AND TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR SITE PLAN AND WITH THEIR PROPERTY. WITHOUT HAVING ANY RATIONAL BASES FOR IT. BUT IT'S ALSO TRUE WHAT JUST SAID THAT THE STREET DEPARTMENT FOR EXAMPLE CAN SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO APPROVE THOSE ENGINEERING PLANS YOU'VE GOT TO

[01:45:05]

PUT SOME DRAINAGE IN HERE. OR DO BUFFERS FOR VEGETATION.

THEY CAN PUT REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS ON ENGINEERS AND DEVELOPERS AND OWNERS THAT THEY HAVE TO MEET BEFORE THE SITE

PLAN WILL GET APPROVED. >> AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS A STATEMENT MADE. WE HAVE TO ASSUME THE WORSE POSSIBLE PART OF A C2 ZONING. DURING THE SITE PLAN PROCEDURE -- CAN THAT BE MODIFIED AT SOME POINT TO SAY THAT THIS IS REALLY NOT PROPER OR DOES THAT MEAN THAT THEY CAN --

>> NO. AND THAT SPEAKS TO THE POINT THAT COUNCILOR ZACHARIAS IS MAKING.

ONCE ZONING DEALS WITH LAND USE, WHAT USES CAN THIS LAND BE PUT TO? AND EVERY PARTICULAR ZONING CLASSIFICATION CAN HAVE SOMETHING FROM VERY NOBODY WOULD REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TO SOMETHING THAT MAYBE A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM W -- WITH.

BUT ONCE THE PROPERTY IS ZONED WHATEVER PARTICULAR ZONING THEN THAT PROPERTY OWNER CAN DO WHATEVER THE ZONING CODE ALLOWS

AND THAT WAS HIS POINT. >> THEY COULD BE REQUIRED TO MAKE SET BACKS, BUFFERS AND SHOW A DRAINAGE PLAN AND THAT SORT OF THING EVEN AFTER WE PASSED HERE. WHAT WOULD BE UNDER C2? THE WORST CASE SCENARIO. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST CASE SCENARIO? I THINK HAVING A DOCTOR'S OFFICE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF ME WOULD BE GOOD.

WOULD THAT FALL UNDER C2 TO HAVE A DOCTOR?

HE MENTIONED DAYCARE. >> IT WAS COMMENTED EARLIER THAT IT IS TRUE CAN YOU NOT DO CONTRACT ZONING.

CONDITIONAL ZONING. YOU -- IN THE ZONING PROCESS TELL A DEVELOPER, OWNER, CONTRACTOR WE WOULD LIKE TO GO ALONG WITH YOUR PLAN BUT WE ARE CONCERNED YOU MIGHT DO THIS OR THAT. AND WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS SAYING TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DO THIS. WE'RE WILLING TO VOTE TO APPROVE THAT BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE WILLING TO DO THIS OR THAT AND THAT IS CONDITIONAL ZONING AND YOU CANNOT DO THAT IN TENNESSEE EXCEPT IN CHATANOOGA. BUT WHERE THAT GIVE-AND-TAKE HAPPENS IS IN THE PLATTED PROCESS AND THE SITE PLAN

PROCESS >> AND I KNOW THEY ARE NOT BOUND BY IT. BUT DID THE DEVELOPERS HERE DID THEY GIVE ANY INDICATION OF WHAT THEY HAVE A PLAN FOR AND THEY

ARE NOT BOUND BY IT. >> I THINK YOU HEARD FROM THEM TONIGHT. THEY ARE NEEDING IT REZONED

BEFORE THEY FULLY DEVELOP IT. >> SO I HAVE A QUESTION MR. BAKER. IT WAS TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING.

YOU WERE SAYING THE CONDITIONAL ZONING THING.

BUT IF I SAY THERE IS C2 ON THIS CORNER AND IF YOU RIP AROUND THE CORNER THERE ARE HOUSES. SO YOU'VE GOT THE SUPERMARKET ON THE LEFT BUT IT'S ALL HOUSES. SO IF I SAY IT DOESN'T FIT.

-- >> IF YOU'RE MAKING AN ARGUMENT THAT YOU DON'T THINK THAT THE NEW ZONING FITS THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING ZONING THAT IS A PERFECTLY FINE ARGUMENT TO MAKE.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> THE COURTS WOULD ACCEPT THAT. >> ANYONE ELSE.

12 YES. 0 NO.

0 ABSTAIN. ORDINANCE 76-2021-22.

FIRST READING. RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND I SO

MOVE. >> MOTION MADE AND PROPERLY SECONDED. COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST SAY THAT I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR I DO NOT OPPOSE IN FILL. I'M CONCERNED AT THE SPEED OF OUR IN FILL AND THAT OUR CURRENT ORDINANCES ARE WRITTEN TO ONLY SUPPORT SPRAWL AND NOT TO PROTECT THE CURRENT RESIDENTS OF NEIGHBORHOODS AS WE IN FILL. AND WE'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THEIR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING WEATHER IT'S EDUCATION, WALKABILITY OR CONNECTIVITY. SO I AM FOR IN FILL.

MY CHILDREN DON'T WANT THE GREAT BIG HOUSE WITH THE YARD.

THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY WANT SO I RESPECT THAT.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT FOR THE RESIDENTS AND I'M HEARING THEM.

WE'RE ALL HEAR TOKING THEM. OIL ONLY VOICING WHAT YOUR E-MAILS ARE SAYING. YOU KNOW THAT I'M NOT SITTING HERE SAYING THIS FROM MY OWN STAGE.

I'M REPEATING WHAT WE'RE ALL SEEING IN OUR E-MAILS AND WHEN WE KNOCK ON THE DOORS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE. THIS IS A NARROW ROAD.

THEY WANT TO GO FROM AN R3 TO R4.

CONCERN FOR PARKING. A NARROW ROAD.

WITH NO TRUE GREAT PLAN OF MAKING IT BETTER FOR ALL OF THE RESIDENTS. I'M NOT SURE IF A YOU AROUND OR ONE WAY IS BETTER. EVERY PIECE OF REZONING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE APPROVED. WE CAN LOOK AT THEM INDIVIDUALLY. AND I THINK THESE ROADS ARE TOO NARROW AND I'M CONCERNED FOR WHAT HE DIDN'T SAY -- AND WE CANNOT DO CONDITIONAL ZONING. SO IF I COULD SAY I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO PARK AND WHAT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HOW THEY ARE GOING TO COME IN AND OUT I WOULD CONSIDER THIS.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN ADD THAT MANY MORE VEHICLES ON THESE NARROW ROADS. THAT IS ALL.

>> COUNCIL PERSON ALLEN. >> SO WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY IS WE'RE GOING FROM SIX UNITS TO NINE UNITS.

NOT A BIG DIFFERENCE BUT ALSO LOOKING AT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

AS FOR THE ROAD RIGHT NOW THE ROAD IS NARROW BUT LIKE I SAID EARLIER WITH THE ROADS IF WE DON'T DEVELOP IN THE AREA WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUT WIDER ROADS. IT'S NOT COST EFFECTIVE.

SO I WOULD SAY I WOULD ASK MY FELLOW COUNCILMEMBERS TO VOTE FOR THIS BECAUSE IT IS NINE MORE UNITS FOR NINE MORE FAMILIES.

THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON STREETMAN.

>> THANK YOU. I TOO FEEL AS THOUGH WE SHOULD APPROVE THIS ONE. IT WAS NINE UNITS.

AS IT STANDS TODAY YOU CAN GET SIX UNITS SO NOT TALKING ABOUT A LARGE AMOUNT OF MORE CARS. ONE OF THE REASONS I WAS ASKING THE QUESTION IS THERE IS A WIDER AREA OF ROAD THERE THAT WOULD BE WHERE IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO PUT YOUR ENTRANCE AND EXIT INTO THE AREA FOR THAT. WE OWN THE REST OF THE AREA AROUND IT AS FAR AS THE GAS AND WATER DEPARTMENT.

SO I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE GOING ON IN THERE. AND THE OPPORTUNITY THERE IN FRONT OF WHERE THEY ARE GOING -- THAT AREA MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE WIDENED AS WELL. TO ME THIS ONE MAKES SENSE FOR US TO VOTE FOR IT. AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY

THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON REDD.

>> A SPEAKER IN OPPOSITION TO THE ORDINANCE I THINK SAID IF I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO WITH THE DRIVEWAY MAYBE I COULD VOTE FOR IT IF THEY WOULD SPEAK TO AGAIN I HATE TO ALWAYS HAVE TO GO BACK. BUT IS THAT PART OF THE SITE PLAN TOO THAT THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT.

AND THE MAYOR IS INDICATING YES. AND THE SECOND QUESTION COULD WE MAYBE GET SOMETHING TYPED UP AT SOME POINT MAYBE E-MAILED US TO THAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DO LOOK AT SO -- LIKE THE DRIVEWAY THAT WAS MENTIONED. THAT IS MY COMMENT.

[01:55:01]

>> THANK YOU. >> I WOULD BE GLAD TO.

COUNCIL PERSON LITTLE. >> I JUST WANT TO STATE SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUS TO EVERYBODY.

ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AFFORDABLE HOUSING WAS 120 OR LOWER.

NOW IT'S 170 TO 180 IS AFFORDABLE.

LET'S GIVE PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN BEFORE IT

GOES UP AGAIN. >> COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS WHAT COUNCIL PERSON REDD WAS ADDRESSING. MY CONCERN IS THAT EVEN THOUGH WE SAY WELL THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF IT AT SITE PLAN.

THEY ARE NOT. THAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING.

THEY ARE NOT TAKING CARE OF THESE THINGS.

IF YOU GO DOWN PETERSON LANE. THEY BUILT SIX NEW HOUSES AT THE STOP SIGN. THERE IS NO SIDEWALK.

THE DRIVEWAYS HAVE TO BACK UP INTO PETERSON LANE RIGHT -- ONE IS LESS THAN A CAR LENGTH AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN BUT THERE WAS ROOM ON THE PROPERTY TO TURN THE HOUSE AND PUT THE GARAGE ON THE SIDE SO THE CAR COULD COME IN AND GO BACK OUT BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING THAT. THAT IS WHY I'M PUSHING BACK AND SAYING WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT WE'RE APPROVING BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE.

AT THE PROPERTY BEHIND IT. THEY ARE NOT LOOKING AT ALL OF THE PIECES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DEVELOPED.

THEY ARE ONLY TAKEN THE DAY OF. WE JUST APPROVED 900 HOUSES BUT THE NEXT ZONING THAT COMES ALONG -- THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT POTENTIAL TRAFFIC. ONLY THE ACCOUNTS GOING ON TODAY. WE NEED TO START PUSHING FOR THE BIG PICTURE AND THE LONG-TERM PLAN.

NOT JUST FOR TODAY. >> ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? ABOUT ORDINANCE 76. ARE YOU READY TO VOTE? ALL MEMBERS CAST YOUR VOTE. MADAM CLERK TAKE THE VOTE

>> 10 YES. 0 NO.

0 ABSTAIN. ADOPTED.

>> ORDINANCE 77-2021-22 FIRST READING.

RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND I SO MOVE.

>> ANYONE WISH TO COMMENT OR ASK A QUESTION.

COUNCIL PERSON ZACHARIAS. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

AGAIN YOU'RE PROBABLY SICK OF HEARING ME TALK ABOUT -- THIS.

WE NEED MORE -- AND IN THE CURRENT STATE IT IS INSUFFICIENT FOR THE TRAFFIC. WE'VE JUST REDUCED THE SPEED LIMIT. THERE ARE FIVE OR SIX MORE SUBDIVISIONS. THIS IS JUST ONE MORE AND I SAY THIS IN MY NEWSLETTER. I'M NOT AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT ALONG NEED MORE. I'M AGAINST DEVELOPMENT ALONG NEED MORE RIGHT NOW. IT'S PART OF THE PLAN.

THIS IS NOT EVEN PART OF PHASE I OF THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME TO CATCH UP AND I THINK WE NEED LIKE I SAID WE ALREADY KNOW THAT KNEAD MOORE IS NOT * MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE ADEQUATELY AND THIS IS A CHANCE THAT WE CAN SLOW OUR ROLL ON THAT A LITTLE BIT.

>> THANK YOU. COUNCIL PERSON ALLEN

>> THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT ONE. AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEED MORE ROAD -- WE JUST TOOK THE SPEED LIMIT DOWN TO 35. WE KNOW NEED MORE IS -- AND THE WAY THAT'S TRAVELED. AND THEN ON THE OTHER HAND WE NEED THOSE HOUSES. SO DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE MORE INSIGHT ABOUT THIS ONE? THAT IS ALL I'M ASKING.

THANK YOU >> ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK?

COUNCIL PERSON BUTLER. >> THANKS, MAYOR.

BEAT YOU. WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR TWO HOURS ANY WAY. NEED MORE IS BAD.

WHERE THIS IS IS ONE OF THE MOST CONGESTED AREAS.

AND I WAS FLOORED THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRAFFIC ON THIS ONE BECAUSE WE DO ON SO MANY OTHERS.

HOWEVER, HERE IS MY INSIGHT TO YOU MADAM COLLEAGUE -- IS THAT

[02:00:03]

WE NEED THE HOUSES AND LIKE YOU SAID YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE HOUSES TO GET THE REVENUE TO BUILD THE ROADS.

WE'VE BEEN GOING OVER THIS FOR A WHILE NOW.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY -- HOW IS THIS ONE ANY DIFFERENT? IT'S ON A BAD ROAD TOO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND -- I DON'T GET IT. SO I SAY WE APPROVE IT.

THANKS. 7

>> COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE ADDRESS MY COLLEAGUES AND ASK JUST REMIND YOU THAT THIS ONE DOES HAVE A SECOND ENTRANCE ON UNION HALL ROAD.

AND SO I WAS CONCERNED BUT BECAUSE THEY DO ADD ANOTHER ENTRANCE I WAS WONDERING DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? TO EITHER OF YOU IN YOUR QUESTION.

>> I DIDN'T HEAR A RESPONSE. >> I HAVE CONCERNS BUT BECAUSE OF TWO ENTRANCES. AND THEN I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYBODY. WE TALK ABOUT TAX REVENUE AND HOW IT'S GOING TO PAY FOR THE STREETS AND HOW IT'S SUCH A GOOD THING. IT DOESN'T WORK.

WE JUST RAISED TAXES TO PAY FOR THE STREETS.

JUST REMIND YOU OF THAT BEFORE THE GROWTH.

LITERALLY. WE ALL VOTED.

>> COUNCIL PERSON STREETMAN. >> THANK YOU.

I WAS GOING TO MAKE ONE OF THE SAME POINTS.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 58 UNITS HERE.

AND IT DOES HAVE TWO ENTRANCES ON TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STREETS. THAT WAS -- WE ONLY HAVE GOT TWO ENTRANCES FOR 900 TODAY. THIS MAKES SENSE TO DO IT.

I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US.

WE NEED PLACES TO RENT AS WELL AS TO BUY

>> COUNCIL PERSON LITTLE. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I'M MORE AT EASE WITH THIS ONE. BECAUSE OF THE TWO WAYS IN AND OUT. AND I SEE UNION HALL WRAPS AROUND TO RUSSELL DRIVE. THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET TO WILMA RUDOLPH. AND THEN ALSO GOES TO -- THAT IS IT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAYS TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS ONE.

>> COUNCIL PERSON ZACHARIAS. >> I WAS GOING TO ANSWER THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL PERSON'S QUESTION.

YES. THERE ARE TWO ENTRANCES ON TWO SEPARATE STREETS BUT WHETHER YOU EXIT THAT COMPLEX ON TO NEED MORE OR ON TO UNION HALL ROAD YOU'RE GOING TO NEED MORE.

YOU'RE TRYING FOR GET TO 101ST OR TINY TOWN.

YEAH. IT'S -- THE ENTRANCES AND EXITS ARE ON TWO SEPARATE STREETS BUT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED MORE.

>> SOUNDS LIKE A COUNTRY SONG. YOU'RE GOING TO NEED MORE.

COUNCIL PERSON LITTLE. >> YOU'RE RIGHT I. I'M LOOKING AT UNION HALL ROAD. ALSO CONNECTS TO WILMA RUDOLPH.

ALSO CONNECTS TO RUSSELL HILL DRIVE.

SO, THAT IS IT. 7

>> OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? ARE YOU READY TO VOTE? WE'RE VOTING ON ORDINANCE 77.

ALL MEMBERS CAST YOUR VOTE. >> 10 YES.

2 NO. 0 ABSTAIN.

ADOPTED. FIRST READING.

>> ORDINANCE 82-2021-22 FIRST READING.

>> AS I SAID EARLIER ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR AREA GIBBONS LANE AND DANIEL STREET IS SO SMALL. IT'S LIKE -- AN ALLEY.

ONE CAR IN AND ONE CAR OUT. JUST THINK IT'S GOING TO BE AWFUL. TOO MANY -- FOR R6.

GOING TO BE OVER CROWDED. IT'S ALREADY CROWDED.

I'VE LIVED OVER THERE. I KNOW.

[02:05:03]

IT'S JUST NOT GOOD. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO VOTE AGAINST THIS WITH ME. I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON STREETMAN.

>> I DO WANT TO TRY AND ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CONCERNS HERE WITH THIS. AND THEY COULD BUILD THREE UNITS ON THERE AS AN R6 -- THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD FIVE.

R3 THEY CAN BE BUILT LIKE AS ONE UNIT WITH THREE RIGHT UP AGAINST -- THREE APARTMENTS SO TO SPEAK. BUT AS AN R6 THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE SITE SET BACKS OF FIVE FEET ON EACH SIDE.

ALSO THE OTHER THING IS THAT THE STREET DEPARTMENT HAS SAID AS WAS MENTIONED BEFORE THEY WOULD LIKE A CONNECTION BETWEEN DICE AND GIVENS SO YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO TURN AROUND.

YOU COULD TURN AND GO BACK THE OTHER WAY AND ALSO SOMETHING THAT THE SPEAKER EARLIER TONIGHT DID NOT MENTION IS THAT THE STREET DEPARTMENT ALSO SAID THAT ROADWAY MAY NEED TO BE WIDENED.

SO THIS MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE ROADWAYS WIDENED THERE AS WELL IN ADDITION TO THOSE CONNECTIVITY POINTS.

SO I DID WANT TO TRY AND SHARE THAT INFORMATION.

AS TO THE CHANGE THAT'S COULD BE POTENTIALLY AVAILABLE US TO

THERE WITH THE NEW ZONING. >> COUNCIL PERSON LITTLE.

>> GOOGLE STREET VIEW. AND JUST SO HAPPENS THAT -- THE MAP -- LOOK DOWN PORTION YOU'LL SEE A VEHICLE ON ONE OF THESE ROADS AND IT'S THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT CAN FIT ON THAT ROAD SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE -- YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND ALSO WE DO NEED

SOME STREETS TO BE WIDENED. >> COUNCIL PERSON LITTLE.

>> -- COUNCIL PERSON SMITH. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE PEOPLE THE TWO HOUSES THAT ARE THERE NOW THEY HAVE RAN OVER THEIR MAILBOXES. THEY HAVE TO TURN AROUND IN THEIR YARD AND I'M NOT EXAGGERATING.

I HOPE YOU'LL LOOK AT IT. IT-- IT'S AWFUL.

LIKE AN ABANDONED ALLEY. AND IT'S AWFUL.

IT'S A DEADENED. YOU CANNOT TURN AROUND UNLESS YOU TURN AROUND IN THE PEOPLE'S YARD.

THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON ALLEN.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE PREVIOUS, PREVIOUS COUNCIL PERSON. THIRD ONE BACK.

YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE STREET DEPARTMENT SAID IT WOULD NEED TO BE WIDENED. I CANNOT FIND THAT IN THE NOTES

>> COUNCIL PERSON STREETMAN. >> IT IS ON IT'S LISTED AS PAGE 4 OF 8. WHERE YOU HAVE THE DEPARTMENT COMMENTS. 7 AND IT SAYS STREET DEPARTMENT, COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT AND IN THEIR COMMENTS.

SIDEWALK REQUIRED. ROADWAY MAY NEED TO BE WIDENED.

>> SO, THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEE. THAT THE ROAD WILL BE WIDENED

BASED ON THIS. >> THIS MAY GIVE US THE

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE IMPROVEMENT >> IT MAY GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY FOR IT TO BE WIDENED OKAY THANK YOU.

TO FIND IT. >> YES.

PAGE 2 OF 8 ON THE STAFF REVIEW UNDER GENERAL INFORMATION.

APPLICANT STATEMENT FOR PROPOSED USE.

CURRENT ZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL ONLY BUT NOT ANY RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT. THE INTENT IS TO BUILD SOME TYPE OF TOWN HOME AND MULTI-FAMILY COMPONENT.

SO -- >> COUNCIL PERSON STREETMAN.

>> I WAS MOTIONING THERE. I APOLOGIZE.

THE CURRENT ZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL ONLY BUT NOT ANY RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT SO, THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE REQUESTED THE CHANGE. THEY WANTED TO DO SOME SORT OF MIX WITH BOTH RESEES DENSE, AND COMMERCIAL IF THAT IS WHAT IT COULD WORK OUT TO BE THERE BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A DEFINITE PLAN OF WHAT IT IS THAT THEY WANTED TO DO BUT NOT HAVE ANY RESIDENTIAL IF THEY LEFT IT WITH ITS CURRENT ZONING.
