OUR REGULAR AGENDA ORDINANCE 2024 DASH ZERO THREE AN ORDINANCE REZONING APPROXIMATELY 7.57 ACRES LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF WALLER ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET NORTH OF CONCORD ROAD FROM SI ONE SERVICE INSTITUTION RELIGIOUS TO R TWO SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL.UH, THIS IS A REQUEST, UH, BY CO ENGINEERING TO REZONE ABOUT SEVEN AND A HALF ACRES, UH, ON WALLER ROAD.
WE CAN GO BACK TO THE, CAN GO BACK TO THE AERIAL REAL QUICKLY.
UM, THIS IS THE PROPERTY SHOWN IN RED WALLER ROAD IS RIGHT HERE.
CONCORD ROAD IS TO THE SOUTH AND THIS ABUTS THE, THE LINE BETWEEN BRENTWOOD AND METRO AND WALLER ROAD IS A DEAD END CUL-DE-SAC.
SO IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE BEYOND JUST ABOUT RIGHT HERE.
UH, WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
THIS SHOWS THE PROPERTY, UH, IT'S PART OF, IT WAS ONCE PART OF
[00:05:01]
THE, UH, CHURCH TO THE SOUTH.SO THAT WHOLE CORNER ON CONCORD ROAD AT WALLER ROAD WAS ZONED SI ONE FOR RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION.
AND THAT PORTION, THAT SEVEN AND A HALF ACRE PORTION WAS, UH, SOLD, UH, OFF FROM THE CHURCH.
ORIGINALLY THERE WAS A MASTER PLAN FOR THE CHURCH THAT SHOWED ADDITIONAL PARKING, UM, ON THIS PROPERTY, BUT IT WAS NEVER CONSTRUCTED.
IT WAS NOT NEEDED, SO IT WASN'T CONSTRUCTED.
UM, AND SO IN IT ALSO ABUTS A SMALL LITTLE OSRD PIECE OF PROPERTY JUST TO THE NORTH.
IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, UM, LIKE I SAID, IT, UH, REZONES ABOUT SEVEN AND A HALF ACRES.
UM, THERE IS A NON-BINDING PLAN THAT SHOWS THREE LOTS.
ONE WOULD BE 2.2 ACRES, ANOTHER WOULD BE 1.8 ACRES, AND THE THIRD LOT WOULD BE 1.4 ACRES.
AND THERE'S ABOUT 2.2 ACRES OF COMMON AREA THAT ARE SHOWN ON THAT.
ON THAT PLAN, IT'S IN THE NOLANSVILLE COLLEGE GROVE WATER DISTRICT AND METRO SEWER DISTRICT.
SO IT WOULD NOT IMPACT THE BRENTWOOD WATER AND SEWER, UH, SYSTEM.
UM, AND LIKE I SAID, THE CONCORD COMMUNITY CHURCH, IT'S TO THE SOUTH.
AND GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
THIS IS, UH, THE PROPOSED NON-BINDING PLAN FOR R TWO ZONING.
AND AS YOU KNOW, R TWO ZONING, UH, REQUIRES MINIMUM LOT SIZES OF ONE ACRE.
UM, THIS SHOWS A PORTION OF THE, THE PROPERTY WITH A A DETENTION POND RIGHT HERE.
THERE'S A TVA EASEMENT THAT RUNS THROUGH THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.
AND, UM, THE PROPERTY BEHIND IT IS ALSO OWNED BY THE SAME OWNER IN METRO, BUT IT'S A SEPARATE PIECE OF PROPERTY AND IT'S ENTIRELY WITHIN FLOODWAY.
SO NOT, NOT JUST FLOOD PLAIN, BUT FLOODWAY.
SO IT'S REALLY AN UNBUILDABLE PIECE OF PROPERTY BEHIND IT BECAUSE OF THAT FLOODWAY, THE MILL, MILL CREEK FLOODWAY.
UM, IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
THIS IS THE SCHEDULE THAT THIS REZONING IS ON.
UM, IT'S AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HERE FOR A RECOMMENDATION.
IT WILL GO ON MARCH 11TH BACK TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.
AND THEN SECOND AND FINAL READING WOULD BE MARCH 25TH AT THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.
AND IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.
AND THE APPLICANT FROM COLLIER'S ENGINEERING IS ALSO HERE TONIGHT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY ABOUT THE REZONING? I HAVE ONE COMMISSIONER FEEDBACK FROM THE MEETING ON THE 28TH.
DID YOU HAVE COMMENT? MANY? OH YEAH, YEAH.
UM, THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE AND THEY WERE REALLY JUST COMING FOR INFORMATION AND ONCE THEY LEARNED THAT THE, THE PROPOSAL WOULD ALLOW ONE ACRE LOT, MINIMUM LOT SIZE, THEY SAID THEY WERE SATISFIED AND WOULDN'T BE ATTENDING ANY FUTURE MEETINGS.
COMMISSIONER COLLEY, I KNOW THE TVA EASEMENT WILL RESTRICT HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH LOT SPACE IS ACTUALLY BUILDABLE, BUT THE NON-BINDING PLAN IS NON-BINDING AND THEY'RE SHOWING THREE.
BUT CONCEPTUALLY MORE THAN THREE COULD PHYSICALLY BE BUILT ON THE SITE.
UM, NOT, NOT, I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
I, I MEAN I, THAT HASN'T BEEN, UH, COMPLETELY VETTED, BUT I THINK BASED ON THE LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR R TWO AND THE FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS, UH, THE LOT WIDTH REQUIREMENTS, I, I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE A FOURTH LOT.
AND WITH, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF FLOODPLAIN ON THIS PROPERTY AND THE TVA EASEMENT, UM, I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE, ACHIEVE ANOTHER LOT.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? AND DUE TO THE SMALL SIZE OF THE PROPERTY, THERE'S NO TRAFFIC STUDY REQUIRED OR ANYTHING, CORRECT? THAT'S RIGHT.
TRAFFIC STUDY WAS REQUIRED FOR, FOR JUST THREE LOTS.
AND LIKE I SAID, WALLER ROAD IS A DEAD END ROAD THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE THROUGH TRAFFIC.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR, UH, THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM COLLIER? NO.
DO WE HAVE A RECOMMENDED, UH, I'M SORRY.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING TO THE CITY COMMISSION? SUBJECT TO WHAT WAS PRESENTED TONIGHT? I MOVED COMMISSIONER STA MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT SECOND FROM, I'LL SECOND IT.
AND ABSTENTION FROM COMMISSIONER CROWLEY.
SO THE MOTION OR, OR I'M SORRY.
THE MOTION TO REPROVE A RECOMMENDATION PASSES.
[1. Monthly Security Report -- February 2024]
FAVORITE PART OF THE MEETING.IT WAS A, IT WAS AN ACTIVE MONTH AND, UM, WE HAD QUITE A FEW, UH, DIFFERENT BONDS THAT WERE, UH, WORKED ON THIS MONTH AND IT INCREASED BY ABOUT $850,000.
AND WITH THAT, I ASK YOU TO APPROVE THE SECURITY REPORT.
[00:10:01]
WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SECURITY REPORT TO APPROVE MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER TRAVIS.WE APPROVE YOUR SECURITY REPORT.
WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL ITEM TONIGHT.
[2. Environmental Advisory Board Report ]
COMMISSIONER STANNICK ATTENDED A CONFERENCE THAT SHE, AS A MEMBER OF THE ADVISORY ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY BOARD, IT'D LIKE TO PRESENT WHAT SHE LEARNED.UH, UNIVERSITY OF VANDERBILT HAD A STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT CONFERENCE.
IT WAS THEIR SECOND YEAR TO DO THAT.
AND, UM, THEY INVITED PANELISTS TO SPEAK ABOUT WATER, LAND, AND ENERGY.
THEY HAD PEOPLE FROM THE STATE AND THEY HAD, UM, OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS LIKE THE HARPETH CONSERVANCY THINK, UM, TENNESSEE, UH, THE LAND TRUST, UM, THOSE ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL.
AND, UM, IT WAS VERY INTERESTING.
UM, I AM PASSING OUT TO THE DIRECTOR AND TO, UM, JANET, UM, THEY RECORDED THEM ON YOUTUBE.
SO THEY'RE FIVE SEGMENTS AND THE FIRST ONE'S LIKE AN INTRODUCTION OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.
THEN THEY DO LAND, THEN THEY DO WATER, THEN THEY DO ENERGY, AND THEN THEY END WITH LIKE A SCHOLARSHIP AND TALKING ABOUT IT.
SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN LOOKING THROUGH THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS, THEY'RE VERY INTERESTING AND YOU CAN SKIP AND, UM, SEE WHAT EACH PERSON TALKED ABOUT.
BUT BASICALLY THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT ARE THEIR CONCERNS HERE IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, GROWTH, CLIMATE AVAILABLE RESOURCES, HOW DO WE SUSTAIN OUR RESOURCES? UM, THEY TALKED ABOUT THEIR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING NOW.
UM, THINGS THAT I LEARNED WAS, UM, FOR EXAMPLE, UNDER THE LAND PANEL, UM, THEY HAD 80,000 PEOPLE MOVE INTO NASHVILLE LAST YEAR.
THEY HAVE A 20-YEAR-OLD ZONING, UM, PLAN FOR THE CITY OF NASHVILLE.
UM, SO THEY ARE NOW LOOKING AT HOW DO THEY ZONE, UH, WITH REQUIREMENTS TO OUR URBAN LIVING, TO ECOLOGY, TO OUR LANDSCAPE.
UM, THEY ARE WORKING WITH VANDERBILT.
UM, VANDERBILT HAS A ORGANIZATION OR UM, UM, A SITE CALLED THE WONDERY AND IT, AND IT WILL PARTNER WITH BUSINESSES OR ORGANIZATIONS TO WORK THROUGH STRATEGIC PLANNING.
SO THEY DEVELOPED A TOOL FOR MEASURING, UM, HEAT AND FOR FLOODING.
AND SO THEY'RE USING THAT TO MAP OUT DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE CITY SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PLAN BETTER.
UM, THE OTHER POSITIVE THINGS THAT I REALLY ENJOYED HEARING WAS UNDER THE STATE THAT GOVERNOR LEE PUT A LOT OF MONEY TOWARDS, UM, CONSERVATION.
SO HE IS WANTING EIGHT NEW STATE PARKS AND FOUR NEW PLACES FOR TRAILS.
UM, I THOUGHT THAT WAS FANTASTIC.
SO OUR STATE WILL HAVE 69 STATE PARKS, UM, UNDER THE LAND TRUST THAT STARTED HERE IN TENNESSEE.
UM, THEY ARE WORKING ALSO WITH A PLAN THAT, UM, IS GOING TO CHANGE WITH TIME WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS BASED ON RESEARCH THAT THEY'RE FINDING AND, UM, PUTTING IN PLACE MORE, UM, WAYS OF CONSERVING OUR LAND.
UM, AND ESPECIALLY LIKE IN AGRICULTURE BECAUSE THE LAND CAN, UM, HELP WITH THE CARBON FOOTPRINT AND ABSORB CARBON.
SO THEY'RE GIVING MONEY BACK TO FARMS TO KIND OF HELP WITH THAT.
UNDERWATER THINGS THAT I NEVER KNEW BEFORE IS OUR DUCK RIVER IS ONE OF THE THIRD MOST BIODIVERSE RIVERS IN ALL OF THE WORLD.
THERE ARE 50 DIFFERENT MUSS, 20 DIFFERENT SNAILS, 151 DIFFERENT FISH, 500 AQUATIC PLANTS.
AND A LOT OF DRINKING WATER COMES FROM THE DUCK RIVER.
UM, 60% OF DRINKING WATER COMES FROM THE RIVERS.
AND SO THEY'RE LOOKING THROUGH THAT.
THE OTHER THING I LEARNED WAS TENNESSEE WAS A LITER IN THIS, UM, SCENIC RIVER ACT AND THE CLEAN WATER ACT.
WE HAD 'EM HERE IN THE STATE FIRST.
SO THEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IMPLEMENTED IT.
UM, AND THEN LAST OUR WETLANDS ARE UP FOR A VOTE ON WEDNESDAY.
THEY'RE PROPOSING TO BUILD ON OUR WETLANDS.
AND SO, UM, THAT WILL AFFECT 55%, UH, OF OUR WETLANDS.
IT'LL REDUCE IT BY THAT AMOUNT.
UM, AND THE WETLANDS ARE KIND OF OUR CATCHALL.
[00:15:01]
OUR SHOCK ABSORBERS TO FILTER WATER FOR DRINKING, TO PURIFY THE WATERS FOR THE RIVERS AND OUR WILDLIFE TO RECHARGE OUR AQUIFERS TO HELP ABSORB THE FLOOD PLAIN WATER.AND THEN IT ALSO, WE, WE PROVIDE INTO THE MISSISSIPPI, BUT INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO.
SO IT'LL AFFECT EVERYTHING DOWN BELOW AS WELL.
UM, SO THAT LEGISLATION IS UP FOR VOTE ON WEDNESDAY.
UM, I AM SENDING ALONG WITH THE LITTLE YOUTUBES, A BLURB THAT NPR DID ABOUT THE WETLANDS, WHAT THE, WHO PRESENTED THE BILL, WHY, AND JUST INFORMATION SO YOU CAN READ THROUGH IT AND THEN YOU CAN WRITE YOUR LEGISLATION AS YOU SEE FIT.
AND UM, YEAH, SO NEXT YEAR I PLAN TO GO AGAIN.
I DIDN'T GET TO HEAR THE ENERGY PART, SO I'LL BE WATCHING THAT YOUTUBE AND UH, ANYWAY, UM, YEAH, YOU'RE GONNA BE SENDING THAT TO EACH ONE OF US THEN THE YOUTUBE? I CAN, I CAN SEND THAT OUT.
YEAH, I'LL, I'LL SEND THAT OUT.
AND THAT, THAT WILL COUNT TOWARDS YOUR CONTINUING EDUCATION.
I WAS JUST GONNA ASK YOU, THAT WILL COUNT TOWARDS YOUR EDUCATION.
I THINK BASED ON WHAT I'VE HEARD, I THINK IT IS PLANNING RELATED.
SO I THINK YOU'LL BE ABLE TO COUNT THAT EACH, EACH YOUTUBE IS, IS MAYBE AN HOUR LONG.
YOU SAID YOU WILL, YOU SEND ALSO THE, THE NPR ARTICLE ON THE WETLANDS.
'CAUSE I, FOR ME THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL JUST TO READ THROUGH RIGHT.
HOW THE BILL GOT STARTED AND WHY, AND THEN WHAT, HOW IT WILL AFFECT ALL OF US.
I MEAN, IF YOU FISH HUNT, LIKE TO BE ON THE RIVER, IT'S, IT'S DRINK WATER, IT WILL AFFECT YOU.
SO, AND THAT'S IN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, STATE HOUSE AND SENATE ON WEDNESDAY? YES.
DOES ANY ANYONE ELSE HAVE A COMMITTEE REPORT OR ANY OTHER BUSINESS? NO.
IF NOT THEN THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.
ONE, WE ARE A TREE CITY AGAIN, WE GOT AUTHORIZATION FOR THAT.
TWO, OUR TWO ARBORETUMS GOT CERTIFIED AGAIN.
AND, UM, FUN FACT, THE STATE OF TENNESSEE WANTS AN ARBORETUM WITHIN 10 MILES OF EVERY RESIDENT.
AND IN BRENTWOOD WE HAVE THREE.
MARCH 23RD, SATURDAY AT THE LIBRARY.
WANT EVERYBODY TO VOTE? MM-HMM.
UH, REMIND EVERYBODY TO VOTE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.
AND THAT, UH, IT'S COMING UP IN FIFTH.
