AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2001 SHAMROCK DRIVE FROM R TWO SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL TO SI ONE SERVICE INSTITUTION RELIGIOUS.
THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY THE CITY.
YES, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
UH, AS YOU MENTIONED THIS, THIS PROPOSAL IS A, A PROPOSED REZONING OF 1.37 ACRES, UM, SOUTH OF OLD HICKORY BOULEVARD AND WEST OF WILDWOOD VALLEY DRIVE FROM THE R TWO SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL TO THE SI ONE SERVICE INSTITUTION RELIGIOUS ZONING DISTRICT.
UH, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DIVIDED BY THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY DAVIDSON COUNTY LINE.
THE PARCEL IS LOCATED RIGHT HERE.
THERE IS THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY DAVIDSON COUNTY LINE.
THE YELLOW, UH, PORTION IS THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD PORTION OF THE SLOT, AND IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED R TWO, WHICH IS REPRESENTED BY THE YELLOW.
UM, CURRENTLY THERE'S A HOUSE AND THERE ARE TWO BALL FIELDS ON THE SOUTH END OF THIS, UH, PARCEL.
UM, THE PROPOSAL IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO SI ONE FOR A FUTURE MIRACLE FILLED, UH, LOCATION.
THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BY HARPETH HILLS CHURCH OF CHRIST, AND IS SURROUNDED BY CONGREGATION MICAH PROPERTY AND SOME OTHER PARCELS OWNED
[00:05:01]
BY THE CHURCH.THERE IS AN ACCOMPANY, UH, CON CONCEPT PLAN THAT, AND THIS PLAN IS CONCEPTUAL, MEANING THAT IT COULD CHANGE LATER ON.
BUT, UH, AS DEPICTED HERE, THERE IS A PROPOSED MIRACLE FIELD.
UM, THERE ARE CONCESSIONS, UH, BLEACHERS.
THERE'S A PROPOSED PLAYGROUND.
UM, SO LIKE I SAID, UM, THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT THIS CONCEPT PLAN SHOWING HOW THEY CAN COMPLY WITH THE SI ONE ZONING, WHICH IT SHOWS COMPLIANCE.
BUT LATER ON, UH, IF THE REZONING IS APPROVED, THEN THEY WILL COME BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITH A MORE DETAILED SITE PLAN SHOWING FULL COMPLIANCE WITH ALL OF OUR REQUIREMENTS.
UM, BUT THAT CONCEPT PLAN COULD CHANGE A LITTLE BIT.
UM, THE REMAINING, UH, MEETING SCHEDULE IS AS FOLLOWS.
UM, ON APRIL 13TH, THIS WILL GO BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION FOR A PUBLIC HEARING, AND THEN ON APRIL 27TH, IT WILL GO BACK TO THE CITY COMMISSION FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING.
STAFF IS REQUESTING THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION FORWARD A RE RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL, UH, TO THE CITY COMMISSION.
WELL, THE WAY WE'LL HANDLE THIS IS WE WILL START OFF WITH CITIZENS COMMENTS, CORRECT? YES, SIR.
SO IF ANY CITIZENS WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE STEP FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND TELL US WHAT YOU THINK AND PLEASE DIRECT, UH, I GUESS ALL YOUR COMMENTS WOULD BE TO THE, UM, CITY, CORRECT, CORRECT.
IT'S, IT'S TO YOU ALL AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
SO IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO COME SPEAK, COME ON.
UH, MY NAME IS KARA PECK AND I'M A RESIDENT OF BRENTWOOD.
AND, UM, I AM MOTHER TO CAROLINA MILES PECK, AND MY YOUNGEST MILES WAS BORN WITH DOWN SYNDROME.
AND, UH, MY HEART IS FOR THIS, UM, LEAGUE, UH, THE MAIN REASON IS JUST BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ANOTHER MIRACLE FIELD OR ACCESSIBLE, UH, FIELD RIGHT NOW IN DAVIDSON OR WILLIAMSON COUNTY.
UM, WHAT THIS FIELD IS, WELL, THE, THE MIRACLE LEAGUE IS A NATIONAL NONPROFIT LEAGUE, AND THEY ALL LOOK A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT THE, THE COMMON THEME IS THAT THE, UH, SURFACE IS A SOFT, RUBBERIZED, UM, FLAT SURFACE.
UH, SO IT'S, UM, SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE.
ALL THE MOUNDS AND BASES ARE WITHIN THE, UH, FIELD.
SO, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S JUST A SAFE PLACE FOR KIDS TO, TO PLAY.
UM, SO EVERY PLAYER DOES HAVE, OR EVERY ATHLETE ON THE FIELD DOES HAVE A BUDDY.
UH, SO IT SUPPORTS, UH, VOLUNTEERISM AND, UM, IT'S JUST A LOT OF FUN FOR, UM, EVERYBODY, UH, ESPECIALLY THE KIDS WHO MAYBE HAVE NEVER PARTICIPATED ON A TEAM OR WORN A JERSEY.
UM, THIS FIELD CAN ALSO BE USED FOR, UM, VETS OR ELDERLY OR, UH, REALLY ANYBODY THAT DOESN'T HAVE CLEATS HOME BECAUSE WE WANT IT TO STAY SAFE.
SO IT CAN BE USED FOR A MULTITUDE OF, OF REASONS.
UM, IT WILL HAVE A SMALL, WE HOPE IT WILL HAVE A SMALL, UM, ACCESSIBLE, INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND.
AND, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE THE CHURCH WOULD REALLY LIKE THAT FOR THEIR DAYCARE CHILDREN, UH, TO BE ABLE TO PLAY ON AS WELL.
SO, UM, IT'S, IT'S JUST A PLACE I THINK THAT'S GONNA SERVE OUR COMMUNITY WELL AND BE A POSITIVE, UM, ADDITION.
UM, ONE, ONE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS LAND IS THAT PROPERTY LINE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN A HEADACHE FOR US,
UM, BUT IN MY MIND IT JUST MAKES IT MORE INCLUSIVE THAT IT'S SHARE SHARED BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTIES.
SO, UM, I THINK IT'LL JUST BE A GREAT WAY TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.
AND THEN POINT OF REFERENCE, UH, CITY ATTORNEY KORN, WHAT WE'RE REVIEWING TODAY IS NOT THIS PLAN PER SE, BECAUSE IF WE MAKE THIS CHANGE IN JUST THE ZONING, THEN THE, I MEAN, TECHNICALLY THEY COULD COME BACK WITH A PLAN OF BUILDING A CHURCH OR ANYTHING THE CHURCH WOULD WANT TO BUILD ON THIS LAND.
SO LONG AS WHATEVER COMES BACK IN THE SITE PLAN WILL BE COMPLIANT WITH THE SI ONE ZONING DISTRICT.
WOULD ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? YES, SIR.
I LIVE IN DAVIDSON COUNTY, UH, RIGHT BETWEEN THE CHURCH, HARPER FIELDS CHURCH AND WARNER PARK.
[00:10:01]
PRESENTLY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE WEST NASHVILLE SPORTS LEAGUE.UM, WE'VE BEEN IN EXISTENCE 29 YEARS.
I'VE BEEN OPERATING BASEBALL AT HARPETH HILLS CHURCH OF CHRIST THE LAST 24 YEARS.
THE FIRST YEAR THAT TIM CORBIN CAME TO VANDERBILT, IN FACT.
UM, SO I'M ALL FOR, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY BEHIND THE MIRACLE FIELD, UH, HERE IN DAVIDSON COUNTY THAT, UH, WE ACTUALLY HAD A, A NONPROFIT OURSELVES 10 YEARS AGO.
IT WAS CALLED THE MIRACLE LEAGUE OF MUSIC CITY.
AND WE WERE GONNA BUILD THIS MIRACLE FIELD AT WARNER PARK, EDWIN WARNER PARK, ACROSS FROM THE STEEPLECHASE IN DAVIDSON COUNTY.
AND, UH, WE WORKED OUR WAY THROUGH, WE RAISED ABOUT $900,000 IN CASH AND ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF TO $2 MILLION OF IN KIND DONATIONS AND OUR PARKS BOARD, UM, IN NASHVILLE.
UH, GOT A LITTLE CRAZY WITH US AND, UM, WE RAN INTO SOME HEAD, UH, HEADWINDS.
AND WE HAD THE LAND THERE AT WARNER PARK WHERE THERE'S FIVE EXISTING BASEBALL FIELDS.
THE WHOLE PARK POINT OF THIS MIRACLE FIELD WAS YES, TO PROVIDE A PLACE FOR THE SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS TO PLAY BASEBALL, BUT ALSO TO PROVIDE AN AREA WHERE THERE'S OTHER BASEBALL FIELDS.
SO THE AVERAGE RECREATIONAL KID AND THE SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS COULD INTERMINGLE AND BE TOGETHER AND HAVE A GREAT ATMOSPHERIC, UH, OF, OF BASEBALL AND CAMARADERIE AND SO FORTH.
UH, WELL ANYWAY, UM, OUR PARKS BOARD THOUGHT WE HAD TOO MANY KIDS OVER IN WARNER PARK AND MADE US ABANDONED, UH, THE IDEA OF BUILDING THE MIRACLE FIELD AT WARNER PARK UNLESS WE REMOVED TWO BASEBALL FIELDS OF THE FIVE EXISTING FIELDS THAT BROKE MY HEART.
UM, NASHVILLE, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, WILSON COUNTY, YOU NAME IT, SUMNER COUNTY NEEDS MORE BASEBALL FIELDS, NOT FEWER.
AND OUR PARKS BOARD, UM, DIDN'T QUITE SEE IT THAT WAY AND WERE ASKING US TO, IF WE WANTED TO BUILD THE MIRACLE FIELD AGAIN TO REMOVE TWO BASEBALL FIELDS, WE SAID, NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT.
THAT WAS FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO, UM, ALMOST FIVE YEARS AGO.
SO THE IDEA CAME ABOUT THAT WE'RE PLAYING BASEBALL AT WARNER PARK.
WE'RE ALSO PLAYING BASEBALL AT, AT THE CHURCH, HARPER HILLS CHURCH OF CHRIST WITH FIVE LITTLE FIELDS, UH, WHERE THE YOUNGER KIDS PLAY AT, AT, UH, HARPER HILLS AND THE OLDER KIDS PLAY AT WARNER PARK.
WE HAVE, AT THAT TIME, WE HAD ABOUT EIGHT OR 900 KIDS PLAYING BASEBALL.
WE NEED ALL THE FIELDS WE CAN POSSIBLY PLAY ON.
SO, UM, THE IDEA POPPED IN MY HEAD THAT, UH, WE'RE, WE CAN'T BUILD THIS LITTLE MIRACLE FIELD AT WARNER PARK.
SO LOOKING AROUND, WHERE CAN WE, WE BUILD A, A MIRACLE FIELD THAT'S DESPERATELY NEEDED IN THIS AREA.
THAT ASPECT, UH, THERE'S A NEED FOR A MIRACLE FIELD.
THERE'S ONE IN MURFREESBORO CROSS, UH, CROSSVILLE, UH, CLARKSVILLE NOW, UH, COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE JUST OPENED ONE NASHVILLE NEEDS ONE OF THESE FIELDS IN, IN, IN THE WORST WAY THAT POPPED UP THAT, WELL, LET'S SEE IF WE COULD TAKE IT TO, TO HARPETH HILLS CHURCH OF CHRIST AND BUILD A LITTLE MIRACLE FIELD THERE.
AND THAT WAS FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO.
WE DREW UP AN MOU, UH, BETWEEN THE MIRACLE LEAGUE OF MUSIC CITY AND HARPETH HILLS CHURCH OF CHRIST, JUST AN MOU NOT A CONTRACT, IT WAS A HANDSHAKE DEAL AT THAT TIME.
UM, THE FIRST FIELD UP AT THE TOP BY OLD HICKORY BOULEVARD, IF YOU MAY, THERE YOU GO.
THAT FIELD RIGHT THERE IS FIELD ONE CAUGHT.
FIELD ONE IS UP THERE BY ITSELF, CLOSE TO OLD HICKORY BOULEVARD, EASILY ACCESSIBLE, SO FORTH AND SO ON.
THAT'S WHERE THE MIRACLE FIELD WAS GONNA BE PLACED.
THE HISTORY MOVED ON, TIME MOVED ON, AND THE CHURCH DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO USE THAT AREA FOR PARKING, FOR CONGREGATION PARKING ON SUNDAYS.
SO THEN, UH, UH, THE MIRACLE GROUP HERE AT THE HARPER HILLS CHURCH DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO MOVE IT TO WHERE THERE'S A, A LITTLE WHITE HOUSE HERE, THIS DILAPIDATED AND TEAR THAT HOUSE DOWN, BUT THE MIRACLE FIELD HERE.
AND THEREFORE, UH, WE'RE LOSING ONE BASEBALL FIELD, THE FIRST FIELD UP AT THE TOP BOULEVARD, JUST LOSING ONE FIELD WITH A CONCEPTUAL PLAN THERE IN THE RED, YOU SEE THAT, UH, THOSE TWO LITTLE BALL FIELDS ARE BLANKED OUT.
SO THE IDEA IS THAT THE MIRACLE FIELD WILL PROBABLY MOST LIKELY, UH, REMOVED TWO MORE BASEBALL FIELDS.
THESE ARE WHERE THE 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, AND EIGHT YEAR OLDS PLAY.
THAT LEAVES US WITH TWO BALL FIELDS ON THIS SIDE OF CULVER HERE.
CREEK LEAVES US TWO FIELDS HERE, EXISTING FIELDS, IF IT WORKS OUT, THEIR PLANS
[00:15:01]
WORK OUT TO WHERE IT REMOVES THOSE TWO FIELDS BELOW THE MIRACLE FIELD AREA.AND FOR US TO, WE HAVE CURRENTLY 400 KIDS PLAYING BASEBALL AT ARPA FIELDS CHURCH OF CHRIST, THREE YEAR OLDS THROUGH EIGHT YEAR OLDS.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'D TAKE 'EM.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE KIDS ARE GONNA BE PLAYING BASEBALL.
IF THE MIRACLE FIELD TAKES THOSE TWO FIELDS BELOW THE, THE MIRACLE FIELD.
UM, IT BREAKS MY HEART TO THINK THAT WE'RE PLACING KIDS, AVERAGE RECREATIONAL KIDS VERSUS THE SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS.
NOT ONE REPLACE THE OTHER, NOT ONE, REMOVE ONE FOR THE OTHER ONE.
WELL, IN THE RECENT LAST SIX MONTHS OR SO, I'VE GONE BACK TO OUR DAVIDSON COUNTY PARK BOARD, OUR, OUR PARK DIRECTOR MONIQUE ODOM, AND DISCUSSED THE IDEA OF MOVING THE MIRACLE FIELD BACK TO WARNER PARK.
'CAUSE THAT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE TWO FIELDS NEAR OLD HICKORY BOULEVARD, ONE OF WHICH IS A SMALLER FIELD WE DON'T USE AS OFTEN NOW THAT WE USED TO USE MORE FREQUENTLY FOUR YEARS AGO, FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO, SHE SAID, SCOTT, THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA IF WE CAN GET, BUILD A MIRACLE FIELD THERE.
SO THE POSSIBILITY IF, IF IT COMES TO FRUITION THAT WE'RE REMOVING THREE BASEBALL FIELDS OUT OF FIVE AT, AT HARPER FIELDS CHURCH OF CHRIST, UM, JUST PLANTING THE SEED, THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE PRUDENT THING TO DO THAT WE COULD MAYBE MOVE IT BACK TO WARNER PARK AND BUILD A MIRACLE FIELD OVER THERE.
BECAUSE YES, WE DO NEED A MIRACLE FIELD.
IT'S JUST PLACING ONE GROUP OF KIDS OVER ANOTHER ONE THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
UM, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
I KNOW THAT I'M PROBABLY PULLING A CART BEFORE THE HORSE, BUT, UM, THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING JUST TO GIVE YOU GUYS AN IDEA OF WHAT'S, THERE'S SOME POLITICAL ISSUES GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES HERE THAT, UH, THAT SHE NEEDS TO BE RE RESOLVED, IN MY OPINION.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS REZONING? OKAY.
I'M MUTE THIS SO I COME UP HERE.
UH, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND ALSO WE'RE SPEAKING OF A REZONING WHERE THERE WILL BE NO PLAN CHANGE, NO DECISIONS MADE ON WHAT THE CHURCH WILL DO WITH THE LAND TONIGHT.
SO THE ONLY DECISION WE'RE MAKING IS IF WE'RE GONNA ALLOW THE CHURCH TO REZONE THAT AREA, WHICH IS THEIRS IN THEIR ENVELOPE ALREADY, WHICH ALREADY HAS BASEBALL FIELDS, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
SO THERE'S NOT, NO, THE PLAN OF BUILDING A MIRACLE FIELD OR KEEPING IT BALL FIELDS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT.
WE WILL HAVE A FURTHER MEETING IF THIS PASSES, AND IN THAT FURTHER MEETING IS WHERE WE'LL DECIDE ON A SITE PLAN.
AND SO THE SITE PLAN WILL HAVE TO COME IN FRONT OF US, PROBABLY, I MEAN, THREE TO FOUR MONTHS OR SO, ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL, UM, TIMELINE.
SO, MR. WALKER, I WAS, I WAS GONNA REBUTTAL OFF OF, OFF OF HIS, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT EVEN A RELEVANT CONVERSATION AT THIS POINT.
UM, I'M A MEMBER OF THE HARPETH HILLS CHURCH.
UH, I'M ALSO BEEN PUT IN CHARGE OF THE MIRACLE FIELD FOR THE HARPETH HILLS CHURCH.
UM, I LIVE IN BRENTWOOD, UM, AND I JUST WANNA STATE, SINCE MR. TIGER STOOD UP AND THE CHURCH WILL DECIDE WHAT THE CHURCH WANTS TO DO, MR. TIGER DOES NOT HAVE A LEASE ON THESE FIELDS.
MR. TIGRE DOES NOT CONTROL THOSE FIELDS.
THE CHURCH CONTROLS THOSE FIELDS, AND WHAT THE CHURCH DECIDES TO DO IN THIS REGARD WITH THE BLESSING OF THIS BODY IS WHAT WILL BE DECIDED.
FIRST, UM, COMMISSIONERS, WE HAVE A CHANCE TO ASK THE CITY, UH, IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL START WITH COMMISSIONER STADNIK.
UH, NO QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.
UM, UH, KARA, THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.
UH, KARA WAS, UH, VERY, VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING US DO THE MILES FOR MILES AS MILES IS HER SON, UH, PLAYGROUND, EVERETT GRANNY WHITE.
AND IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL ADDITION AND WE JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR THAT AND APPRECIATE YOUR COMING TONIGHT.
UM, SO I, I REALIZE THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING REZONING HERE AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE, WE'RE, UM, ADDING PROPERTY RIGHTS POTENTIALLY TO THIS PROPERTY.
SO I JUST WANTED TO ASK A COUPLE PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS, WHICH I KNOW ARE NOT PART OF.
WE DON'T HAVE A FINAL SITE PLAN HERE WHERE IF THE APPLICANT CAN MAYBE
[00:20:01]
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE APPLICANT IS THE CITY, SO THE ONLY ONE WE'RE ALLOWED TO NO.OH, CAN WE, IS THE CHURCH, IS THE CHURCH THE APPLICANT OR THE CITY CHURCH? THE CHURCH IS REQUESTING A REZONE.
UM, ANY PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE LOOKED INTO, UH, AS IT RELATES TO FLOOD AND STORM WATER IMPACT ON THE PROPERTY? OBVIOUSLY CHANGING, UM, THE FIELD RIGHT ABOVE IT TO PARKING LOT AND DEVELOPING THE CURRENT PROPERTY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, REZONING IS GONNA IMPACT THAT.
AND SO I, AGAIN, I KNOW THIS IS NOT A FINAL SITE PLAN.
CURIOUS IF YOU GUYS HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, LOOKED INTO THAT, HAVE SOME PRELIMINARY SORT OF GUIDANCE OR THOUGHTS ON THAT? YES, SIR.
UH, WE HAVE, UM, SO THERE IS A SMALL, A SLIVER OF FLOODPLAIN THAT TOUCHES THE EXISTING, UM, SOFTBALL.
YOU CAN SEE IN THE YELLOW, THE YELLOW IS THE FLOODPLAIN, THE HUNDRED YEAR FLOODPLAIN.
SO YOU CAN SEE OF THE TWO EXISTING FIELDS ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE, UH, IT TOUCHES, UH, THE ONE ON THE EAST AND DOES NOT TOUCH THE ONE ON THE LEFT.
UM, THE MIRACLE FIELD ITSELF, AND THE SITE PLAN PROPOSED IS ALL NORTH OF THAT.
UM, BUT YOUR, YOUR QUESTION WAS, HEY, WE'RE TAKING A, WE'RE TAKING A SOFTBALL FIELD, WE'RE TURNING IN A PARKING LOT.
WE'RE, WE'RE INCREASING THE RUNOFF, UH, FOR THAT IMPERVIOUS.
UM, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE BRENTWOOD REQUIREMENTS, THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE ROBUST THAN ANY STORMWATER REQUIREMENTS IN 10 COUNTIES IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
UH, AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THEY, THEY REQUIRE, BRENTWOOD REQUIRES THAT WE ACTUALLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF RUNOFF THAT LEAVES OUR PROPERTY IN A PEAK FLOW, UH, FROM WHAT IT IS TODAY.
SO WE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF RUNOFF IN A PEAK FLOW RATE THAT LEAVES OUR PROPERTY.
IF THIS DEVELOPS UNDER THE BRENTWOOD REQUIREMENTS, UH, THEN, THEN WHAT'S THERE TODAY? SO, UM, SO STORMWATER DETENTION IS REQUIRED, STORMWATER QUALITY IS REQUIRED.
YOU GOTTA CLEAN THE WATER UP AND YOU GOTTA SLOW THE WATER DOWN BEFORE YOU LET IT LEAVE YOUR PROPERTY.
AND IN THIS CASE, WHEN IT LEAVES OUR PROPERTY, IT'S RUNNING ACROSS FLOODPLAIN TO THE LITTLE HARTH RIVER.
IT'S NOT CROSSING OTHER PEOPLE'S LOTS AS FAR AS NEIGHBORS OR HOUSES OR ROADS OR THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
UM, YEAH, MORE WATER QUICKLY INTO THE RIVER.
SO THIS WOULD BE MORE WATER, MORE SLOWLY, MUCH MORE SLOWLY, MORE SLOWLY THAN IT IS TODAY BASED ON THE REGULATIONS FOR BRENTWOOD.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS, MR. LONG? NO QUESTIONS.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? NO, NO PROBLEM.
AND, AND THE MOTION IS TO, UH, PASS A, UM, ORDINANCE, A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE CITY COMMISSION.
SO MOVED BY COMMISSIONER CROSBY, SECONDED BY VICE CHAIR BAIN.
NOW WE'LL HAVE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION START DOWN THERE.
COMMISSIONER RAND? UM, I, I GUESS MY COMMENTS WOULD BE SORT OF RELATED TO FLOOD REQUIREMENTS.
I WOULD, UM, UH, LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE APPLICANT'S, UM, THOUGHTS ON TRAFFIC PATTERN IMPACT, UH, POTENTIAL NOISE OR OTHER SORT OF IMPACT AS WE, UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE FINAL PLAN COMES IN, I REALIZE WE MAY BE ADDING OR SUBTRACTING, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN THINGS TO THE PROPERTY.
SO JUST LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THAT IN THE FINAL SLIDE.
PLAN, VICE CHAIR BANK, NO QUESTIONS.
I LIKE THE IDEA OF WHAT YOU'RE GONNA BE DOING, BUT WE'VE HAD SOME OTHER ISSUES HERE PREVIOUSLY.
IF YOUR LIGHTS ARE GONNA BE ON, TURN 'EM OFF BY EIGHT O'CLOCK.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT ONE BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS HERE ABOUT PARKS GOING UP AND HAVING THE LIGHTS OUT THERE IN THE FACILITIES DOESN'T RELATE AT ALL TO WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY, BUT IN YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS, WHEN YOU START LAYING IT OUT, CONSIDER THE AREA WHAT YOU'VE GOT GOING ON AS FAR AS THE LIGHTING.
ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR OF, UH, RECOMMENDING THIS TO THE CITY COMMISSION AND PLEASE SAY AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES EIGHT TO NOTHING.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO, PPC 25 0 3 DASH 0 0 4.
SITE PLAN BANK OZK 1 52 WILSON PIKE.
DO WE HAVE AN APPLICANT CHAIR? LET ME, OH YEAH, YEAH.
WE GOT A CHAIR WAITING FOR YOU RIGHT HERE.
UH, PAP DAWSON REQUEST APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN FOR A PROPOSED TWO STORY BANK LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF WILSON PIKE CIRCLE AND CHURCH STREET EAST.
THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES AN 11 11,696 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING WITH 47 PARKING SPACES.
IT ALSO INCLUDES, UM, THE REQUIRED STREET
[00:25:01]
FURNITURE, STREET TREES, DECORATIVE, DECORATIVE STREET LIGHTING, UM, ALL THOSE ITEMS REQUIRED OF THE C FOUR ZONING DISTRICT.THE LOT IS 1.05 ACRES IN SIZE.
UM, THE PROPOSED BUILDING ELEVATIONS INCORPORATE, UM, BLACK CLAY, BRICK CREAM, PORCELAIN TILE, AND METAL ACCENTS.
THE PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES, UH, THE DEDICATION OF RIGHT OF WAY ALONG BOTH, UH, CHURCH STREET EAST AND WILSON PIKE CIRCLE.
UH, THIS DEDICATION, UH, IS GOING TO REQUIRE A REVISED FINAL PLAT, UH, WHICH IS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL.
AND THAT REVISED FINAL PLAT WILL ALSO, UH, DEDICATE SOME PEDESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENTS, UM, THAT ARE GONNA BE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.
UM, ACCESS TO THE SITE IS, UH, PROPOSED OFF OF, UH, FRIERSON STREET.
IT'S A TWO-WAY ACCESS OFF FRIERSON, AND IT'S GONNA HAVE A ONE-WAY EXIT ONTO WILSON PIKE CIRCLE.
UH, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDER AN EXCEPTION TO SECTION 78, 2 56 7 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE, WHICH, UM, REQUIRES A 75 FOOT SEPARATION ON A, OUR ON COLLECTOR STREETS, UH, UH, 75 FEET FROM AN INTERSECTING, UH, STREET HERE.
SO THEY, THEY'RE PROPOSING 70 FOOT A FIVE FOOT REDUCTION AND STAFF IS IN FULL SUPPORT OF THEIR REQUEST.
UH, WE HAVE ONE CONDITION OF APPROVAL.
A REVISED FINAL PLAT IS REQUIRED TO DEPICT THE DEDICATION OF RIGHT OF WAY AND TO ESTABLISH A PEDESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENT FOR PORTIONS OF THE SIDEWALK LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.
WE ALSO HAVE 21 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE STAFF NOTES.
I'M A PROJECT ENGINEER WITH P DAWSON.
UM, I'M JOINED TODAY WITH OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER, PROJECT MANAGER, AND JUSTIN, OUR ARCHITECT.
UH, SO I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO DISCUSS, BUT I'M OPEN TO ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
WE WILL START DOWN THERE, COMMISSIONER.
COMMISSIONER RAND, RAND CAULEY, COMMISSIONER NER.
UM, JUST LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS, IF, IF YOU WOULD.
I'D JUST LIKE TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT, WHAT Y'ALL HAVE LOOKED AT.
AND IT, IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT FIVE FEET IS GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO, AND I LOVE THAT WE'LL FINALLY HAVE A NICE LOOKING SIDEWALK AND THAT SORT OF THING.
SO, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND HOW YOU THINK IT'S GONNA WORK WITH THE COMING OUT AND ONLY BEING ABLE TO EXIT ON THAT SIDE.
BRANDON, DO YOU, YOU WANT IF YOU GUYS, BRANDON POINTER? YEAH.
SO, UH, I GUESS I'LL TRY TO MAYBE ANSWER YOUR GENERAL COMMENT OR QUESTION.
IF SOMETHING SPECIFIC COMES TO YOUR MIND, LET ME KNOW.
UM, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, UH, I GUESS QUITE A PROCESS WITH STAFF ON THE ACCESS AND THE CIRCULATION FOR THIS SITE.
UH, LANDING WHERE WE ARE NOW, I THINK, UH, IS A PRETTY GOOD, A PRETTY GOOD PLACE FOR US TO BE, UM, CIRCULATION WISE.
AND THE, THE BIG PICTURE, AS YOU KNOW, SHOWN ZOOMED OUT HERE, WE'LL HAVE THE, THE FULL ACCESS IN, IN AND OUT ON FRIERSON SO PEOPLE CAN, CAN EXIT.
THEY CAN ENTER FROM EITHER DIRECTION AND ALSO EXIT TO CHURCH STREET OR EXIT UP HERE AND GET TO, UH, TOWN CENTER AND UP TO WILSON PIKE CIRCLE IN
THEY CAN CIRCLE BACK AROUND TO CHURCH STREET IF THEY CHOOSE TO.
THAT ALSO LETS THEM COME OUT TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT FRANKLIN ROAD, UM, OR CONTINUE ON UPDO BOULEVARD.
UH, WHAT THE RIGHT TURNOUT ONLY IS INTENDED TO DO IS TO PREVENT THEM OR PROHIBIT THEM FROM, FROM GETTING INTO THE LINE THERE.
THAT FORMS AT WILSON PIKE CIRCLE.
UM, THE, THE RIGHT OF WAY THERE IS CONSTRAINED.
IT'S, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE FOR US TO DO ANY WIDENING OR PUT A BARRIER IN, UH, THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD FULLY PROHIBIT THE VEHICLES FROM DOING THAT.
BUT BY, BY TURNING OUR SKEW, BY SKEWING OUR DRIVEWAY, UH, AND POINTING TO POINTING THEM TO THE NORTH, UH, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA TRY TO EFFECTIVELY DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO, TO PUSH THEM OUT THAT DIRECTION, KEEP THEM AWAY FROM, UH, FROM, FROM THAT INTERSECTION, UH, UNLESS THEY CIRCLE BACK AROUND TO, TO ULTIMATELY GET TO THEIR DESTINATION.
BUT THAT TRAFFIC'S GONNA BE LESS IMPACT IF THEY CIRCLE AROUND.
THEY'RE GONNA BE LESS IMPACT ON CHURCH STREET THAN THEY WOULD BE ON WILSON
[00:30:01]
PIKE AT THAT INTERSECTION.OR THEY COULD CIRCLE THE ROUNDABOUT.
WHAT'S THAT? OR THEY COULD JUST TAKE THE ROUNDABOUT AROUND THEY U-TURN AT THE ROUND.
THEY, THEY COULD MAKE A U-TURN AT THE ROUNDABOUT.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE DISCUSSED AND, AND DIDN'T, DIDN'T HAVE A REALLY GOOD FEEL FOR HOW MANY PEOPLE MIGHT ACTUALLY DO THAT, BUT THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THEY COULD DO.
THEY COULD TURN RIGHT AND, AND COME BACK, BUT AT THAT POINT, RATHER THAN TURN OUT AND POTENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, TURNING LEFT OUT, POTENTIALLY BLOCKING THE LANE NORTH MOUNT OUT OF THE INTERSECTION, WHICH COULD THEN CAUSE PEOPLE TO BACK UP INTO THE INTERSECTION.
NOW THEY'RE MAKING THAT TURN, UH, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET AWAY AND THEY'RE GETTING IN THE BACK OF THE LINE, UH, WHICH IS THE BEST PLACE FOR THEM TO BE.
YOUR ISSUE IS QUEUING RIGHT HERE, CORRECT? YES.
WHICH, IF THEY WENT ALL THE WAY UP HERE, I DON'T THINK THIS EVER QUES WAY UP HERE.
DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YEAH.
I GUESS ONE OTHER, JUST, AND WE DON'T HAVE THE PICTURE UP OF THE ACTUAL SITE PLAN, BUT IS, UH, ARE MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA COME IN FROM FRIAR FRIERSON, YOU'RE EXPECTING THEM TO GO BACK OUT AND THE PEOPLE COMING, DOING WHAT WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING ARE REALLY MAINLY GONNA BE COMING THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH, OR NOW I SEE THERE IS A LANE.
SO IT COULD BE BOTH, WHICH IS FINE.
THERE'S THE TWO DRIVE THROUGH LANES.
THERE'S ALSO A, A BYPASS LANE, UH, FOR THE DRIVE THROUGH, SO, OKAY.
UH, FOLKS THAT ARE PARKED HERE, THEY CAN EXIT THAT WAY IF THEY, IF THEY WANT TO OR IF THE DRIVE THROUGH GETS REALLY BUSY FOR SOME REASON, YES.
AND WE DO, THEY CAN GO THE OTHER WAY.
WE'RE ACCOMMODATING EIGHT VEHICLES HERE IN THE, IN THE DRIVE THROUGH.
BUT YES, IF IT, IF IT DOES BACK UP, THEY, THEY HAVE, THERE'S MULTIPLE WAYS TO MANEUVER AROUND THAT.
WHAT IS BANK OZK BANK OF THE OZARKS? WELL, BANK OF THE O ARKS.
IS IT BANK OF THE OZARK? IT IS.
I I THINK IT'S A, IT'S A REBRANDED BANK OF THE OZARKS, BUT THAT'S THE, I'M ASKING A QUESTION 'CAUSE I, THERE'S SO MANY OTHER BANKS AROUND THERE, BUT I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER ONES THAT GOT 47 SLOTS IN THE PARKING LOT FOR THEIR PARKING STRUCTURE.
THE, THE PARKING'S REQUIRED FOR CODE 47? YES.
IT'S BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING, OF THE AREA AND THE USE.
AND IT IS, IT IS A TWO STORY BUILDING.
AND IT'S BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, NOT WISHING ANY WILL, ILL WILL ON YOUR BANK, BUT IF THIS BUILDING DOES BECOME SOMETHING ELSE, THEN IT IS ZONED FOR THE PARKING IS ZONED FOR THE BUILDING SIZE AND NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE USE.
COMMISSIONER STA, I DO NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE TO APPROVE.
ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THE MOTION? START DOWN WITH COMMISSIONER STAGNANT? NO.
ANY AGAINST PASSES? EIGHT TO NOTHING.
NOW WE'LL GO INTO OUR MONTHLY SECURITY REPORT.
FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH, UH, WE HAD AN INCREASE OF $434,806 AND 30 CENTS FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $19,246,332 AND 22 CENTS.
AND WE ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THE SECURITY REPORT AS PUBLISHED IN YOUR PACKET.
DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE TO APPROVE.
MOVED BY COMMISSIONER RAND SECOND.
I SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BAIN.
ANY AGAINST YOUR SECURITY REPORT PASSES NOW.
BOARD AND COMMISSIONER REPORTS.
WE'LL START OFF WITH COMMISSIONER BAIN.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? UH, THE HISTORY BOARD, WE'RE HAVING A CEMETERY REDEDICATION, UH, FOR THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR PATRIOT, UH, THE, THE CEMETERY OUT IN EASTMAN'S PRESERVE, WHICH USED TO BE ON THE CAMPUS OF TENNESSEE BAPTIST CHILDREN HOMES.
AND THAT'S ON MAY 3RD AT TWO O'CLOCK.
SO WE'RE INVITING THE PUBLIC TO COME AND THERE'LL BE COLOR GUARD THERE AND, AND, UH, I THINK DRUM AND FIFE AND, AND IT'D BE A GOOD CEREMONY.
THE TREE BOARD HAD ARBOR DAY AND IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
WE HAD, UM, SCHOOLS PARTICIPATE IN THE POSTER CONTEST.
UM, I WANTED TO THANK OUR SPONSORS, PINNACLE, HG HILL, BLUEBELL ICE CREAM, BARTLETT, TREE EXPERTS, PRESTIGE, UH, TROPHIES, MIDDLE TENNESSEE ELECTRIC AND SOUTHERN DREAM.

AND THIS IS WHERE WE WILL REMOVE HONEYSUCKLE AND PRITT, UM, INVASIVE PLANTS, UM, WILL BE BY THE TENNIS COURT AREA, UM, IN THE MORNING AND IN THE AFTERNOON.
AND YOU CAN TELL ME IF YOU CAN COME NINE 30 TO SEVEN 30, OR YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND SIGN UP TO, OH, WOW.
I DID SOME HONEYSUCKLE REMOVAL AT AL'S HILL.
WELL, SEEING THERE'S NO MORE BUSINESS.
