BRAVING THE COLD WEATHER.I HOPE EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SAFE AND HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY HAS POWER BACK, BUT IT'S, IT'S ROUGH OUT THERE.
UM, THIS HAS NOT BEEN TERRIBLY FUN.
SO, BUT WE'RE AHEAD AND CONTINUE AS NORMAL AND START WITH OUR CONSENT AGENDA.
OUR FIRST ITEM ON CONSENT IS A REVISED HILLSIDE PROTECTION SITE PLAN FOR WILLOW WICK SUBDIVISION 70 25 WILLOW DRIVE.
AND THIS IS A JACKSON'S PROJECT.
ALL RIGHT, BLUE FOX CONSTRUCTION REQUEST APPROVAL OF A HILLSIDE PROTECTION SITE PLAN FOR LOT 11 WITHIN THE WILLOW WICK SUBDIVISION TO BUILD AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN AND DECK THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR OF THE EXISTING HOME.
THE STRUCTURE WILL BE AN OPEN, WILL BE OPEN AIR THAT SERVES AS A BACK PORCH AND KITCHEN AS PREVIOUSLY STATED.
THIS WILL INCLUDE KITCHEN, GAS, FIREPLACE, GRIDDLE, RANGE, FRIDGE AND LOUNGE SEATING.
THE DESIGN AND THE ROOF OF THE PORCH WILL MATCH THE EXISTING ROOFING AND COLOR OF THE EXISTING HOUSE.
THERE WAS A COMMENT IN THERE ABOUT THE DRIVEWAY.
HAS TO BE, WHAT WAS THAT CONDITION? THERE WAS A CONDITION ABOUT DRIVEWAY HAD TO BE, I BELIEVE THAT WAS AN ENGINEERING COMMENTS.
WAS IT KEVIN'S PROJECT? IT SAYS, UH, THE CONDITION OF APPROVAL SAYS FUTURE DRIVEWAY MODIFICATIONS WILL REQUIRE THE DRIVEWAY TO BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH CITY REQUIREMENTS.
SO, UH, THE CODE REQUIRES THE DRIVEWAY TO BE NO LESS THAN FIVE FEET OFF THE PROPERTY LINE.
WE WOULD CONSIDER THAT LEGAL NON-CONFORMING.
AT THIS POINT, IT'S OKAY BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING IN THE DRIVEWAY, AT LEAST, UM, THAT'S THE WAY WE'VE HANDLED THESE IN THE PAST.
BUT AT THIS POINT, OR ANY POINT IN THE FUTURE THAT THEY WANNA MODIFY OR IMPROVE THEIR DRIVEWAY, THEY'LL HAVE TO REMOVE IT TO FIVE FEET OFF THE PROPERTY.
THERE'S IS THAT WHAT THIS REQUIRES? THERE'S NO PLANS TO DO THAT.
WE'RE JUST PUTTING 'EM ON NOTICE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A HEADS UP.
YEAH, IT'S JUST A LEGAL NONCONFORMING, WHICH WE'RE NOT GONNA MESS YOUR DRIVEWAY IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING IN YOUR BACKYARD.
BUT IF THEY EVER TOUCH THE DRIVEWAY YEAH.
WE'RE SAYING, HEY, BY THE WAY, NOW GET RUN LINES.
SOME SENSE WAS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL WITH THIS? IT IS.
IT PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN STANDARD.
I I'M JUST GONNA ASK THAT THIS BE MOVED TO REGULAR AGENDA BECAUSE I'M ON THE BOARD AT HOAO WILLOW WICK.
I FEEL LIKE I PROBABLY NEED TO ABSTAIN FROM THIS IF I ABSTAIN FROM ALL OF THE CONSENT IT TAKES AWAY.
SO, NOT THAT I HAVE A REAL ISSUE WITH THIS, BUT I'D LIKE TO JUST MOVE THAT TO REGULAR AGENDA.
WE CAN DO THAT, BUT I CAN FIND OTHER WAYS TO GET IN TROUBLE.
IT'S YOUR CHANCE TO GET OFF THE BOARD THOUGH,
OUR NEXT ITEM ON THE CONSENT AGENDA IS A MINOR SITE PLAN ALTERATION FOR DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE AT BRENTWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL.
UH, JARVIS SIGNS THE APPLICANT AND THEY REQUEST FOR NEW DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE AT THE SCHOOL.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SIX SIGNS IN TOTAL.
THEY'RE PROPOSING AN ENTRANCE SIGN FROM MURRAY LANE.
TWO GYM DIRECTIONAL SIGNS FROM GRANNY WHITE AND FOXVILLE DRIVE.
ONE SCHOOL DIRECTIONAL SIGN THAT WILL BE WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT AND TWO WALL SIGNS FOR THE FRONT OFFICE.
SO HERE IS ONE OF THE SIGNS THAT WILL BE OFF OF GRANNY WHITE ENTERING THE, ENTERING THE SITE, THE SCHOOL DIRECTIONAL THAT IS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT, MORE INTO THE LAND, THE FRONT OFFICE VISUAL, AND THEN THE GYMNASIUM SIGN.
KIND OF JUST LETTING PEOPLE KNOW, HEY, THE GYM'S THIS WAY.
UM, THEY MEET SIGN, CODE, SIZE, SQUARE FOOTAGE, EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
OUR NEXT ITEM ON THE CONSENT AGENDA IS ANOTHER MINOR SITE PLAN ALTERATION FOR A MONUMENT SIGN, UH, AT EV AUTO, FORMERLY KNOWN AS GLOBAL MOTORSPORT.
SELECT SIGN SERVICE REQUESTS A NEW MONUMENT SIGN FOR EV AUTO.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A NEW MONUMENT SIGN IN THE SAME SPOT AS THE PREVIOUS GLOBAL MOTOR SPORTS SIGN.
THIS SIGN WILL BE THE SHAPE OF AN E EV AUTO LOGO WITH BLACK AND WHITE COLORS.
THAT WILL BE INTERNALLY ELIMINATED.
THE SIGN WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 39.9
[00:05:01]
SQUARE FEET.UM, AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING THIS TESLA SIGN, UH, ADDITIONAL SIGN AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE DEALERSHIP ALONG MORRIS LANE.
THERE'LL BE FIVE FEET IN HEIGHT.
UM, THERE'LL BE APPROXIMATELY SIX SQUARE FEET BE SAY TESLA CHARGERS.
AND THEN THERE'S THE NEW EV AUTO SIGN.
THE REASON WHY THEY'RE HAVING TO COME BACK, ALTHOUGH IT'S IN THE SAME LOCATION, THEY ARE TEARING DOWN THEIR OLD ONE.
IT WAS NON-CONFORMING, BUILDING A COMPLETELY BRAND NEW ONE.
SO YOUR OTHER ONE WAS BIGGER, WASN'T IT? YES, IT WAS.
SINCE THIS IS A NEW SIGN, IT HAS TO BE CONFORMING WITH OUR 10 STANDARDS.
NEXT ITEM IS A REVISED HILLSIDE PROTECTION SITE PLAN FOR STONE HEAD SUBDIVISION 51 22 PRINCE PHILIP COVE.
UM, THIS IS, THIS PROJECT IS TO INCLUDE THE ADDITION OF A 2,271 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION OF CONDITION LIVING SPACE, UH, 960 SQUARE FOOT MAIN LEVEL ADDITION, A 1,224 SQUARE FOOT.
UH, THIS PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES 120 SQUARE FOOT COVERED DECK, A 64 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION OF THE COVERED ENTRY.
UH, THE RENOVATED HOME WILL FEATURE HARDY BOARD SIDING PAINTED BENJAMIN MOORE, CALDWELL GREEN WROUGHT IRON AND IRON MOUNTAIN, ALONG WITH A DARK SHINGLE ROOF AND STANDING SEA METAL ROOF ACCENTS.
SO THEY'RE ADDING, UH, ONTO THE BACK OVER HERE.
AND THEY'RE ALSO ADDING A COMPLETE SECOND STORY, UH, WITH SOME ADDITIONS UP FRONT AND ONTO THE SIDE.
AND THEN THIS IS WHAT THE HOUSE WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN IT'S DONE.
AND THESE ARE PROPOSED COLORS AND MATERIALS.
AND THEN THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE EXISTING HOUSE AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW.
UM, AND THEN WE JUST HAVE 13 STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR THAT ONE.
ANY QUESTIONS? PRE, PRE ICE? DO JEFFREY ICE
YEAH, IT'S GREEN AND NOT WHITE CURRENTLY.
OUR NEXT ITEM IS A FINAL PLA FOR, UH, GREEN ESTATE SUBDIVISION 10 16 WALLER ROAD.
THIS ONE IS FOR A FINAL PLAT FOR A TWO LOT SUBDIVISION ON APPROXIMATELY 4.51 ACRES.
THE SUBDIVISION WILL CREATE TWO LOTS EACH LOT, APPROXIMATELY TWO ACRES IN SIZE, WHICH WILL SHARE A SHINGLE, A SINGLE DRIVEWAY ACCESS EASEMENT TO WALLER ROAD.
A WATER SERVICE WILL BE PROVIDED BY NOLANSVILLE.
COLLEGE GROVE AND SEWER SERVICE WILL BE PROVIDED BY METRO.
WE HAVE TWO CON CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THERE.
UM, LOT TWO SHALL HAVE NO ACCESS TO WALLER ROAD AND, UM, ALL NEW SUBDIVISIONS SHALL PROVIDE UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL SERVICE OVERHEAD.
ELECTRICAL IS NOT PERMITTED AND ALL UNDERGROUND SERVICE SHALL BE EXTENDED FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY.
AND THERE ARE 11 STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
YOU KNEW SEPARATE FROM THE SHARED DRIVEWAY, CORRECT? YES.
THEY, UH, SINCE THEY'RE CLOSE PROXIMITY AND WE TRY TO REDUCE CURB CUTS ON RT ROADS, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A SHARED ACCESS EASEMENT.
AND THERE IS AN EXISTING HOME THAT'S GOING TO BE REMOVED, SO THEY'RE GONNA BE USE USING THAT EXISTING CURB.
ITEM NUMBER SIX IS A REVISED SITE PLAN FOR BRENTWOOD UNITED METHODIST, LOCATED AT 3 0 9 FRANKLIN ROAD.
UH, P DAWSON REQUEST APPROVAL OF REVISED SITE PLAN FOR BRENTWOOD METHOD UNITED METHODIST.
UH, THE PROPOSED REVISIONS INCLUDE MODIFICATIONS TO AN EXISTING EXTERIOR RAMP TO MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE.
AS PART OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS, THERE'S GONNA BE SEVEN NON-COMPLIANT ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES THAT WILL BE REMOVED.
THESE SPACES CURRENTLY DON'T MEET THE DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCESSIBLE PARKING.
THE SITE CURRENTLY HAS A TOTAL OF 1054 PARKING SPACES.
UH, BASED ON THIS TOTAL 21 ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE NON-COMPLIANT ACCESSIBLE SPACES, THERE ARE THREE ADDITIONAL
[00:10:01]
ACCESSIBLE SPACES THAT WILL BE REQUIRED.AND WE'RE REQUESTING THAT THESE THREE ADDITIONAL HANDICAP SPACES BE LOCATED WITHIN PROXIMITY OF THE THE NEW ACCESSIBLE RAMP.
UH, SO SUBJECT TO STAFF APPROVAL? YES.
UM, I WANNA DISCLOSE THAT I'M A MEMBER OF BRENTWOOD METHODS, BUT I'M, I'M STILL GONNA VOTE ON THE ITEM, BUT JUST DISCLOSURE, JUST TO BE SURE.
DO I DO THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE, UM, BEFORE WE READ THE CONSENT? OR DO I DO IT, DO I DO IT BEFORE WE VOTE? I HAVE TO DO IT BEFORE, LIKE RIGHT BEFORE WE VOTE.
LET YOU DISCLOSE THAT YOU'RE A MEMBER AND YES.
THE SIX, THEY'RE NOT GIVING YOU MONEY FOR LETTING THIS HAPPEN.
THIS WILL OR BE THE RAMP THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE REDOING.
SO THEY'RE GONNA KIND OF REORIENT IT, UH, TO DO AN L SHAPE.
SO WHERE ARE WE SUGGESTING THE THREE SPOTS BE? IF THEY'RE NEAR THAT NEW RAMP? UH, THAT'S GONNA BE UP TO, UH, THE APPLICANT AND ALSO THE CHURCH.
BUT WE WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE WITHIN PROXIMITY, THIS GENERAL AREA WITH, UH, FOR THE RAMP, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S GONNA BE USED AS AN ACCESSIBLE RAMP, YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE ACCESSIBLE PARKING NEAR IT.
IT LOOKED LIKE THEY COULD HAVE LEFT SOME OF THOSE THAT WERE TAKEN OUT, DIDN'T THEY? OR NOT.
SO THEY'RE JUST GONNA TO REGULAR PARKING SPACES AND I THINK THEY'RE GONNA STRIFE, HEY, THEY MAY END UP LOSING ONE SPACE TO CREATE THREE ADDIT.
SO THE ONES THAT GETTING RID UP WEREN'T WIDE ENOUGH.
THEY HAVE TO BE 11 BY 18 WITH THE FIVE FOOT ACCESS, UH, FOR THEM TO GET OUT THE DOOR, THE DOORS.
AND THESE ARE JUST STANDARD PARKING SPACES THAT THEY'VE BEEN USING.
DOES THE HANDICAPPED SPACE NEED TO BE WITHIN A CERTAIN PROXIMITY TO A DOOR TO THE ENTRANCE OR, UH, THAT'S, WE CHECKED ON THAT.
DID YOU ON THAT, BUT THERE'S NOT REALLY DEFINED DISTANCE OF THE A DA GUIDANCE JUST SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE NEAR OKAY.
PROVIDING THE ACCESSIBLE PATH.
SO THE APPLICANT HERE, THEY HAD SUBMITTED AN OVERALL PARKING COUNT AND THEY WERE TAKING A COUPLE OF HANDICAP SPACES ACCOUNT FOR, I THINK ONE WAS AT THE BANK THAT WAS SOME SHARED PARKING, WHICH IS JUST TOO FAR AWAY FROM, FROM THAT ACCESSIBLE RAMP.
AND THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER SPACE UP IN THE CORNER DOWN HERE.
YOU WERE COUNTING IS ACCESSIBLE, BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCESSIBLE AISLE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
SO IT JUST, THEY JUST NEED TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF CLEANUP.
I THINK THEY COULD DO IT WITH JUST SOME RES STRIPING, BUT OKAY.
THE INTENT OF THE ADA A CODE IS TO HAVE A DA SPACES NEAR THAT ACCESSIBLE PATH.
SHOULDN'T THEY SHOW US WHERE THEY ARE BEFORE WE APPROVE THIS? WE CAN SPEAK TO THAT HERE IF YOU'D LIKE TO.
IF YOU FLIP BACK TO THE DEMO SHEET.
OH, ONE ONE OTHER ONE OR ONE MORE PLEASE, OWEN? YEAH.
SO WHAT WE HAVE IN MIND IS WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS AN AISLE AND THEN A DA STALL AISLE, A DA STALL.
I THINK I'VE GOT THAT FLIPPED ACTUALLY.
ANYWAY, WE GOT THESE FIRST FIVE OR SIX SPACES IS WHERE WE'RE GONNA PROVIDE THE A DA STALLS.
WE DO HAVE TO DO, SO A LITTLE BIT OF GRADING TO GET THEM UNDER 2%, WHICH IS PART OF THE PDA CODE.
BUT THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS AISLE, THIS IS NONCOMPLIANT AS WELL FOR CROSS SLOPE REASONS.
SO WE'RE GONNA BRING THIS ACROSS AND STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP.
IT'LL JUST INVOLVE SOME, UH, STRIPING AND MINOR GRADING FOR THAT AREA.
WELL, I KNOW THAT YOU SAY THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO, BUT HOW DO WE KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO?
AND THE SPACING, EVERYTHING YOU GUYS ALL GET TO APPROVE.
WE'RE REQUESTING THE STAFF BE ALLOWED TO APPROVE THE LOCATION OF THE THREE HANDICAP SPACES YOU GUYS ABOUT THAT DON'T FOLLOW PERMIT FOR THE WORK THAT'S INVOLVED.
SO I MEAN, WE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR A DA IS COMPLIANT.
WE'RE JUST APPROVING THE RAMP CHANGES AT THIS POINT.
WITH THE CONDITION THE STAFF GETS TO APPROVE THE PARKING REST.
AND UNDER THE, UH, LIST OF APPROVAL ON 11 SAYS, AND IF WE DON'T LIKE THE WAY IT ENDS UP, WE, WE, THEY'VE GOTTA COME BACK TO US ANYWAY, SO IF IT, THEY CHANGE ANYTHING.
[00:15:08]
OKAY.NEXT ITEM IS A LIMITED DURATION EVENT.
FOOD TRUCK RALLY FOR BRENTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL.
SO YOU GUYS ARE VERY FAMILIAR.
UM, WITH THIS, THE, THIS YEAR, IT WILL BE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 2ND FROM 1115 TO ONE 15.
AND THERE WILL BE 13 FOOD TRUCKS IN ATTENDANCE.
UH, AND THIS IS JUST AGAIN FOR, UH, BRENTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL AND NOT OPEN UP TO THE PUBLIC.
ANYBODY KNOW WHAT STEAMING GOAT DOES? CURIOUS.
THEY ARE PERMANENT AND THEY'RE ON OUR WEBSITE.
I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT THEY SERVE.
I CAN'T THINK OF WHAT THEIR FOOD IS.
I'M ASSUMING GOAT, PROBABLY VEGETABLE TIME.
I WOULD, THEY WOULD GO CHEESE SAYS STEAMED SANDWICHES.
GOATS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS IS RIGHT.
ALRIGHT, UM, NEXT ITEM IS A MINOR SITE PLAN ALTERATION FOR AUTO PRO OF NASHVILLE, LOCATED AT 1610 FRANKLIN ROAD.
UH, THIS IS FOR, UM, REQUEST TO INSTALL A BLACK METAL FENCE ALONG THE FRONT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 16 TON FRANKLIN ROAD.
A CONSTRUCTION OF THIS FENCE HAS ALREADY STARTED PRIOR TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF APPROVAL.
SO THEY HAVE, WE'VE PUT A STAFF WORK ORDER ON THEM.
THEY'VE PUT THE FENCE POSTS OUT.
THERE ARE A COUPLE THAT NEED TO BE RELOCATED.
WE HAVE THEM DO AN AS-BUILT SURVEY DUE TO THE RIGHT OF WAY ON FRANKLIN ROAD TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WERE NO FENCE POSTS OR THE FENCE BEING PLACED WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY.
SO THERE ARE A COUPLE, UH, ALONG THIS, UH, SOUTHERN ENTRANCE THAT NEED TO BE, UH, MOVED BACK A LITTLE BIT.
AND IT'S JUST GONNA BE A BLACK METAL FENCE.
YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE THE FENCE POST.
BUT THESE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GONNA NEED TO BE RELOCATED 'CAUSE THEY'RE, UH, WITHIN THE RIDE OF WAY.
UH, THOSE ARE FINE GOING NORTH.
AND THIS IS WHAT THE FENCE THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE PUTTING UP IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO, INSTEAD OF AN ACTUAL FENCE GATE, THEY'RE JUST PROPOSING THESE, UH, BARRICADES FOR THE TWO DRIVEWAY ENTRANCES.
THEY'VE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH CARS BEING STOLEN, LIKE LITERALLY DRIVEN RIGHT OFF THE LOT 'CAUSE IT'S RIGHT ON FRANKLIN ROAD AND THEY CAN JUST HOP THE CURB.
SO THEY'RE DOING SOME SAFETY MEASUREMENTS FOR, FOR THEIR DEALERSHIP.
UM, WE HAVE, OH, AND THEN, UH, THE FENCE IS ALSO LIKE LOCATED WITHIN THE MALLORY VALLEY WATER DISTRICT, UH, WATERLINE EASEMENT.
BUT MALLORY VALLEY HAS GIVEN THEM AUTHORIZATION FOR THE FENCE TO BE WITHIN THERE.
UH, WITH, WE HAVE THREE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
THIS, UM, THE FENCE POST LOCATED WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY MUST BE REMOVED.
UH, ALL FENCING SHALL REMAIN OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF BRENTWOODS 20 FOOT PERMANENT SEWER EASEMENT.
AND, UH, NUMBER THREE, SHOULD THERE BE A FIRE EMERGENCY AT THIS LOCATION? PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PROS GATE WILL LIKELY BE DESTROYED UPON ENTRY SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO PLACE A MORE PERMANENT GATE IN THE FUTURE.
A CLICK TO ENTER DEVICE SHALL BE REQUIRED FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS TO ANY ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED GATE.
AND THEN THERE ARE TWO STANDARD 10 STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
UM, SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STAFF PART.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN SUBJECT TO BEING DESTROYED, EVER.
ONE OF OUR
JUST SO THEY'RE JUST GONNA BLAST THROUGH IT.
WE GOT SOME REALLY EXPENSIVE CARS.
ALRIGHT, THAT BRINGS US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.
IT'S A, IT'S AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO OUR PERSONAL WIRELESS SERVICE FACILITY.
UH, THIS IS A CELL TOWER ORDINANCE.
SO THE, THE NEED FOR THE CHANGES, UH, ARE RELATED TO, UM, OUR ORIGINAL ORDINANCE WAS DRAFTED IN 2001.
[00:20:01]
UM, WE'VE HAD ISSUES FOR A WHILE WITH CELLULAR COVERAGE.WE HAVE A VERY STRICT ORDINANCE, AND SO WE WANTED TO LOOK AT THAT AND POSSIBLY MAKE SOME CHANGES TO ALLOW COVERAGE FOR OUR RESIDENTS, UM, BUT STILL MAINTAIN SOME CONTROL IN THE WAY THESE LOOK AND TO MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF TOWERS PROPOSED.
SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS ORDINANCE, WELL, SO LET'S GO OVER THE TWO TYPES.
SO YOU'VE GOT A MONOPOLE TYPE, WHICH IS THE, THE SOLID POLE, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE LATTICE TYPE TO YOUR RIGHT.
WELL, THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PROHIBIT THE LATTICE TYPE.
WE, WHAT WE'RE SEEKING ARE JUST THE MONOPOLE TYPE STRUCTURES.
UM, SO OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE IS IN A TIER SYSTEM.
TIER ONE, TIER TWO, TIER THREE, TIER ONE.
UM, THAT WOULD BE LIKE LOCATING ANTENNAS ON EXISTING BUILDINGS.
UM, MAYBE CHURCH STEEPLES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UH, TIER THREE ALLOWS THE PLACEMENT OF NEW TOWERS MONOPOLES, BUT IT'S, UM, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE WE HAVE FALL ZONE REQUIREMENTS.
SO THE LOCATION, YOU HAVE TO BE SO FAR AWAY FROM OTHER PROPERTIES.
UM, SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS A TIER FOUR, A NEW CLASSIFICATION, TIER FOUR.
SO THIS TIER FOUR WOULD ALLOW TOWERS UP TO 160 FEET IN HEIGHT, BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE MULTIPLE CARRIERS ON THEM TO MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF PROPOSED TOWERS.
UM, WE'RE ALSO GONNA REQUIRE THEM TO BE ON GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, QUASI GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, LIKE UTILITY DISTRICT PROPERTY.
WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO ALLOW THEM WITHIN RESIDENTIAL OPEN SPACE IF OWNED BY THE AN HOA.
UM, WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO ELIMINATE THE FALL ZONE REQUIREMENT IF THE TOWER IS ENGINEERED TO COLLAPSE UPON ITSELF.
SO THESE NEW TOWERS ARE DESIGNED OR ENGINEERED WITH PINCH POINTS.
SO IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN, IT WOULD LIKE, MAYBE THE TOP WOULD FALL, BUT THE WHOLE TOWER'S NOT GONNA COLLAPSE.
UM, SO THESE TOWERS ALSO REQUIRE, UH, THEY CALL IT A PROPAGATION STUDY.
WE'RE JUST NOT GONNA LET, LET THEM PUT TOWERS WHEREVER THEY WANT IN THE CITY.
THEY, THEY PROVIDE A STUDY, AND THEN WE HAVE A THIRD PARTY REVIEW THAT STUDY AND AGREE THAT THERE IS A NEED.
UM, THE OTHER THING IS, UM, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE, WE'RE GONNA REQUIRE THAT THESE TOWERS BE SCREENED OR CAMOUFLAGED, IF YOU WILL.
UM, SO IT'S GONNA BE UP TO THE CARRIER TO PROPOSE SOME TYPE OF SCREENING.
UM, WE'RE NOT GONNA ALLOW A, A STANDALONE PINE TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIELD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND THEIR ONLY OPTION MAY BE A MONOPOLE.
IT MAY BE A MONOPOLE PAINT PAINTED A CERTAIN COLOR.
UM, BUT IT MAY COME DOWN TO, HEY, DO WE WANT REALLY GOOD SERVICE OR DO WE NOT WANNA SEE IT? KIND OF DEAL.
BUT THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S GONNA HAVE THE ABILITY TO REVIEW AND APPRO, UH, REVIEW AND APPROVE THOSE PROPOSALS.
UM, WE'LL SEE, I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T FORGET ANYTHING.
THE THIRD PARTY IS PICKED BY THE CITY, RIGHT? YES.
THE THIRD PARTY IS PICKED BY THE CITY.
UM, ANOTHER REQUIREMENT IS EVERYONE WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF THE SITE, NOT THE PROPERTY BOUNDARIES, BUT THE SITE.
SO THE ENCLOSED FENCED AREA HAS TO BE, THE CARRIER HAS TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE PROPOSAL.
IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO A REZONING REQUEST.
THAT'S WHAT WE REQUIRE FOR REZONINGS.
AND SO IT WOULD JUST BE A NOTIFICATION OF THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS, HEY, THIS IS PROPOSED.
HERE'S THE PROPOSED MEETING SCHEDULE IF YOU WANNA COME TO A MEETING OR WHATEVER.
SO FOR THOSE THAT IF, IF ANY, ARE EVER PROPOSED IN LIKE OSRD OPEN SPACE, THE CITY COMMISSION WOULD BE INVOLVED WITH THE APPROVAL AS WELL, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A CHANGE TO THE O-O-S-R-D OPEN SPACE.
SO FOR THOSE IT WOULD BE PLANNING, COMMISSION REVIEW, AND CITY COMMISSION REVIEW.
ALL OTHERS, IT'S GONNA BE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW.
TODD, WHEN YOU SAY THEY HAVE TO SHOW A NEED, I ASSUME THAT MEANS COVERAGE IS, IS POOR KIND OF THING? NOT THIS IS MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE CARRIER AND IT'S BETTER FOR THEM.
IT'S A, IT'S A SERVICE NEED KIND OF A THING.
IT'S A SERVICE NEED AND THEY HAVE TO JUSTIFY IT AND WE HAVE TO AGREE WITH IT.
I'M KIND OF BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
UM, TIER FOUR, IS IT TIER FOUR IS 160 FEET? YEAH, IT ALLOWS
[00:25:01]
UP TO 160 FEET.WHAT'S TIER THREE ALLOW, UH, TIER FEE, TIER THREE, UM, MEANS A CHANGE IN HEIGHT.
THEY, UM, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO A NEW TOWER IN BRENTWOOD BEFORE.
AND THAT THAT'S ONE REASON THAT WE HAVE THE GAPS IN SERVICE.
UM, DO YOU SEE THE POSSIBILITY OF RETROFITTING SOME OF THE TIER THREES INTO TIER FOURS AS A SOLUTION? I REALLY DON'T.
THEY'RE JUST PEOPLE HAVEN'T, THEY'RE ABOUT THAT YET.
UM, WELL THAT'S WHY I WONDERED IF THEY WOULD, THAT WE WOULD BE SEEING APPLICATIONS.
THEY'RE TAKE AN OLD THREE DOWN AND PUT UP, PUT UP SOMETHING THAT NOW THAT WE'VE GOT TIER FOUR AS AN OPTION, I, I DON'T KNOW.
SO WE DO HAVE SOME COVERAGE ISSUES ON THE, YOU KNOW, THE SOUTHEAST AREA OF THE CITY.
UH, THERE'S AREAS OF CONCORD ROAD THAT ARE BAD.
UM, SO THOSE ARE SOME AREAS THESE CARRIERS ARE, I'M SURE ARE GONNA FOCUS ON THIS.
THIS HAS BEEN THROUGH THE CITY COMMISSION TO YEAH, THIS WENT TO FIRST READING ON JANUARY 12TH.
HE, HE'S DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THIS.
WELL, NOT ONLY ME, I MEAN A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT IT'S BEEN THROUGH THE COMMITTEE AND IT'S BEEN EDITED AND VETTED AND THE CITY COMMISSION IS LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR RENTAL INPUT.
HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE BECAUSE THERE'S SORRY, COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR BRENTWOOD GIVEN WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE DO, THAT KIND OF THING.
SO MANY PEOPLE WORKING FROM HOME TOO.
SI MEAN, LANDLINES ARE A THING IN THE PAST.
IT'S JUST REALLY NO ANALOG ANYMORE.
IS THERE A SENSE FOR LIKE HOW QUICKLY CARRIERS ARE GONNA BE INTERESTED IN DOING SOMETHING? I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY HAS SINCE CITY COMMISSIONERS OR SO, UH, RIGHT NOW A LOT OF THE SERVICE, MAYBE ALL, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF ALL, BUT A LOT OF THE SERVICE FOR GOVERNOR'S CLUB IS PROVIDED FROM ANTENNAS THAT ARE ON A WATER TANK AND THAT WATER TANK IS GETTING READY TO BE REPLACED AND THE WATER PROVIDER'S NOT GONNA ALLOW ANTENNAS ON IT ANY LONGER.
SO, UM, THEY'VE ALREADY, THEY'VE GOT PLANS TO DO LIKE A TEMPORARY TRAILER TYPE STRUCTURE TO PROVIDE SERVICE, BUT THAT, THAT'S A REAL AREA NEED RIGHT THERE.
AND I WOULD SEE THEM MOVING VERY QUICKLY FOR THAT, THAT GENERAL AREA.
ANY SENSE FOR HOW MANY NEW POLES ARE THINKING ABOUT THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT? WELL, IT, NO.
I MEAN, FOR THAT AREA, ONE TO US, FOR THAT AREA ONE BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO LIMIT THE POLES.
AND HOW MULTIPLE CARRIERS, WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO PULL AND NOT THE LATTICE? IS IT JUST THE LOOKS OR IS IT THE IT'S THE LOOKS.
I MEAN, GRANTED, IF, IF THERE'S AN EXISTING LATTICE TOWER AND IT'S BEEN THERE, YOU, IT PROBABLY DISAPPEARS OVER TIME.
BUT THE WHOLE, THE WHOLE CONCEPTION IS THE, THE MONOPOLES ARE THE PREFERRED DESIGN.
WHO, WHAT, UM, INCENTIVIZES OR CAUSES THE CARRIERS TO WANT TO ADD POLLS? DOES THE CITY REACH OUT AND SAY, WE'VE HEARD FROM CITIZENS THAT WE DON'T HAVE A ADEQUATE COVERAGE AND YOU NEED TO PUT SOMETHING IN OR WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO, OR HOW DOES THAT PLAY OUT? SO THE, THE CARRIERS ARE AWARE.
BUT OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE HAS BEEN A HINDRANCE, RIGHT.
FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO ADD ENOUGH ANTENNAS AND COVER A, A CERTAIN AREA SO THEY'RE WELL AWARE AND THERE ARE TOWER COMPANIES THAT BUILD THESE TOWERS AND LEASE SPACE TO, TO PROVIDERS.
SO THAT, THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE WORKS.
IS THERE ANY CONCERN, I MEAN, WE WANNA PUT IT ON OPEN SPACE OR YOU SAID GOVERNMENT PROPERTY OR PUBLIC.
HOW DOES THAT WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY? LIKE THE POLICIES THAT THAT PHONE COMPANY WOULD HAVE TO WORK THROUGH WHATEVER GOVERNMENT AGENCY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN? YES.
THEY WOULD HAVE A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY.
SO THEY WOULD, THERE WOULD BE A LEASE AGREEMENT APPROVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION, THE CONTRACT, IF YOU WILL.
AND, UM, AND JUST BE IN AGREEMENT THAT WOULD BE RENEWED EVER SO OFTEN.
HERE'S SOME EXAMPLES OF STEALTH, STEALTH TYPE STRUCTURES.
YOU'VE, I MEAN, YOU'VE SEEN FLAGPOLES AND FAKE TREES AND THEN THERE'S A MONOPOLE EXAMPLE.
BUT AGAIN, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT GONNA ALLOW THE LATTICE TYPE DESIGN ON THE FAR LEFT.
UM, HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF AN ENGINEERED TOWER COLLAPSING UPON ITSELF.
SO, UM, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT ACTUALLY, BASED ON THIS ICE STORM, LIKE WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I JUST WAS THINKING THROUGH THAT.
SO HERE'S THE PROPOSED MEETING SCHEDULE.
UM, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, IT WENT TO FIRST READING ON JANUARY 12TH, CITY COMMISSION, YOU GUYS ON MONDAY NIGHT.
UH, PUBLIC HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY,
[00:30:01]
FEBRUARY 9TH, AND THEN SECOND AND FINAL READING FEBRUARY 23RD.AND I DID EMAIL SOME INFORMATION.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS SAW IT, I THOUGHT WAS VERY HELPFUL.
AND THEN IT HAD SOME INFORMATION ABOUT SOME RF QUESTIONS.
ARE THERE POLES OF THIS HEIGHT LIKE IN FRANKLIN OR IN AREAS AROUND HERE? UH, I'M SURE THERE ARE.
BUT I DON'T
I DON'T KNOW HOW TALL THEY ARE.
UM, NOW, NOW GRANTED THE THE ONE 60 THAT'S THE MAX.
SO IF THEIR PROPAGATION STUDY SHOWS THAT THEY CAN ADEQUATELY SERVE AND PROVIDE ADEQUATE COVERAGE WITH A 130 FOOT TOWER, THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA WANT.
DID THE TOWERS HAVE TO HAVE LIKE A RED BP LIGHT AT THE TOP TO I DON'T, I, I GUESS, I MEAN, I'M SURE THERE'S A CERTAIN HEIGHT THAT'S REQUIRED THAT REQUIRES THAT FOR AIRPLANES TO SEE.
I'M NOT, I'M NOT SURE I COULD FIND OUT WHAT, WHY YOU WORRIED ABOUT MAYBE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT A LIGHT OR SEEING A LIGHT AIR TRAFFIC.
IT'S JUST, UH, PLEASE DO CHECK.
YEAH, I, I'LL YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT, RIGHT? IT'S, YEAH, IT'S GONNA HAVE A LITTLE LIGHT ON IT.
SO THAT THE CITY COMMISSIONERS ANTICIPATE ANY, ARE THERE ANY NEGATIVE CONCERNS THAT Y'ALL ARE WORRIED ABOUT? NO, NOT REALLY.
WE WERE MORE CONCERNED WITH LANGUAGE AND UM, WE WERE REALLY CONCERNED IT CAME UP BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR'S CLUB AND THAT THE MAP THAT SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE COVERAGE IF YOU ALLOW IT.
THAT'S, THAT, THAT WAS REALLY THE DRIVING FORCE AND WE KNEW WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING.
AND, AND AGAIN, TOO, I GO BACK AND JUST SAY SO MANY LANDLINES GONE THAT EMERGENCY SERVICES, THAT'S WHAT WORRIED US IS THAT PEOPLE ARE IN THEIR HOMES AND THEY CAN'T CALL 9 1 1.
DO WE HAVE OTHER AREAS THAT ARE, I KNOW GOVERNOR'S CLUB IS PROBABLY THE WORST FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD.
DO WE HAVE OTHER AREAS THOUGH THAT ARE FAIRLY SUBSTANDARD LIKE THAT? YEAH, I THINK THERE'S AN AREA, UM, EAST OF WITHERSPOON IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD BY THE CHURCH.
AND THEN I WAS THINKING AT FAR SOUTH ON WILSON PARK, MAYBE LIKE AROUND HAM AREA.
THAT AREA, UH, NEAR RAVENWOOD HIGH SCHOOL MAYBE.
SO, BUT ANYWAY, LIKE SHE MENTIONED, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A COVERAGE MAP, UH, PRE AND POST.
SO THE LEFT, THE YELLOW'S BAD, THE GREEN'S GOOD, YOU CAN SEE HOW THE COVERAGE IMPROVED.
UM, THAT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF A, A STUDY AND THEN THEM SHOWING A NEED.
SO THAT, UH, THAT CONCLUDES OUR AGENDA JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW GOOD THE INTERNET IS.
I ASK IT ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF TOWERS FOR BLINKING LIGHTS AND IT GAVE YOU TWO ANSWERS INSTEAD OF ONE.
ONE SAYS 150 FOOT ABOVE GROUND LEVEL AND THE OTHER SAYS 200 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL.
THAT GIVES US AT LEAST AN IDEA.
YOU KNOW, TODD, THE OTHER THING, JUST, WE'RE STILL RUNNING OUTTA KNOW, BUT UM, REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE PUTTING THE SHORTER, AT ONE POINT A FEW YEARS AGO, THEY SAID THEY'RE GONNA PUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF THESE SHORT TOWERS ALL OVER AND THEY WERE PUTTING 'EM BY THE SCHOOLS.
AND THEN WE HAD PARENTS THAT WERE UPSET.
AND BECAUSE THERE'S SOME NEGATIVE VIBES WITH THAT BEING CLOSE TO THE SCHOOLS.
AND SO AGAIN, DURING OUR DISCUSSIONS, WE SAID, IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE THOSE SHORT TOWERS CLOSE TO A SCHOOL IS NOT WHAT THAT WORKS MORE EFFECTIVELY THAT THESE, SO THIS MIGHT BE A BENEFIT THERE TOO, YOU KNOW? ALL RIGHT.
DID YOU GET ALL YOUR QUESTION.
