00:10:48,283 --> 00:10:50,652
Thank you very much, Council

00:10:50,652 --> 00:10:53,788
member. I appreciate it. I very

241
00:10:53,788 --> 00:10:55,690
much appreciate the support of

242
00:10:55,690 --> 00:10:57,258
the council as well as my chain

243
00:10:57,258 --> 00:10:58,994
of command, who have given

244
00:10:58,994 --> 00:11:01,696
their steadfast support on both

245
00:11:01,696 --> 00:11:03,898
sides to bringing creative

246
00:11:03,898 --> 00:11:06,468
solutions to this epidemic that

247
00:11:06,468 --> 00:11:08,370
is plaguing Nashville. More

248
00:11:08,370 --> 00:11:10,710
than many other similar cities

249
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:12,730
across the country. And they

250
00:11:12,730 --> 00:11:14,750
brought us from being one of

251
00:11:14,750 --> 00:11:15,543
the cities with the second

252
00:11:15,543 --> 00:11:17,545
highest rate of overdose in the

253
00:11:17,545 --> 00:11:19,460
United States of America, to

254
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:20,315
being one of the cities with

255
00:11:20,315 --> 00:11:21,883
the highest percentage

256
00:11:21,883 --> 00:11:23,883
reduction in overdose

257
00:11:29,757 --> 00:11:31,920
fatalities.

258
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,728
Thank you very much. I just

259
00:11:33,728 --> 00:11:36,128
wanted to thank Councilmember

260
00:11:36,497 --> 00:11:38,990
Evans and everyone on Metro

261
00:11:38,990 --> 00:11:38,299
Council, as well as the the

262
00:11:38,299 --> 00:11:39,567
mayor

263
00:11:39,567 --> 00:11:40,340
s office. We

264
00:11:40,340 --> 00:11:42,434
ve had a lot

265
00:11:44,138 --> 00:11:45,506
of support in this program, and

266
00:11:45,506 --> 00:11:45,907
I think we we wouldn

267
00:11:45,907 --> 00:11:47,475
t be as

268
00:11:47,475 --> 00:11:48,576
successful if we had not had

269
00:11:48,576 --> 00:11:49,610
every single one of every

270
00:11:49,610 --> 00:11:51,112
single one of you and every

271
00:11:51,112 --> 00:11:53,140
single one of the members of

272
00:11:53,140 --> 00:11:55,817
our, of our team that are here.

273
00:11:55,817 --> 00:11:58,386
And we often laugh about it

274
00:11:58,386 --> 00:12:00,688
because Councilmember Evans put

275
00:12:00,688 --> 00:12:02,890
us all to together and had had

276
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:04,859
me meet, meet with, uh,

277
00:12:04,859 --> 00:12:05,994
Lieutenant Hotz and with Trevor

278
00:12:05,994 --> 00:12:08,863
one day. And we and we talked

279
00:12:08,863 --> 00:12:10,980
about the fact that, um, every

280
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,660
one of us played an integral

281
00:12:12,660 --> 00:12:13,668
part in making this program

282
00:12:13,668 --> 00:12:15,536
what it was. And so I really do

283
00:12:15,536 --> 00:12:15,703
appreciate the support that

284
00:12:15,703 --> 00:12:16,871
we

285
00:12:16,871 --> 00:12:18,373
ve had from from everyone in

286
00:12:18,373 --> 00:12:22,573
this room. So it means a lot.

287
00:12:24,112 --> 00:12:25,147
Thank you very much.

288
00:12:25,147 --> 00:12:26,648
Thank you. And I think one

289
00:12:26,648 --> 00:12:27,150
thing that they negated to say

290
00:12:27,150 --> 00:12:27,749
is that they

291
00:12:27,749 --> 00:12:30,149
re actually up to

292
00:12:30,385 --> 00:12:30,585
501 box installations now, and

293
00:12:30,585 --> 00:12:32,287
that

294
00:12:32,287 --> 00:12:33,689
s in big response to

295
00:12:33,689 --> 00:12:35,424
Sergeant Anthony Cooksey, who

296
00:12:35,424 --> 00:12:36,924
could not be here, as well as

297
00:12:36,924 --> 00:12:39,270
Metro Nashville Public Health

298
00:12:39,270 --> 00:12:40,896
Department for supporting with

299
00:12:40,896 --> 00:12:41,963

300
00:12:41,963 --> 00:12:45,563
the team needs. So thank you

301
00:12:46,535 --> 00:12:48,535

302
00:12:50,505 --> 00:12:52,905
All right. Congratulations on

00:12:55,144 --> 00:12:57,412

304
00:12:57,412 --> 00:12:59,447
they take a picture. Uh, just a

305
00:12:59,447 --> 00:13:01,490
reminder that council members

306
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:03,352

00:13:03,352 --> 00:13:05,554

323
00:13:42,491 --> 00:13:43,792
so fortunate to have him with

324
00:13:43,792 --> 00:13:46,792

355
00:14:38,380 --> 00:14:40,480
25 years. Officer Cantrell

356
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,249
currently serves as a quality

357
00:14:41,249 --> 00:14:44,849

Precinct and.

359
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,692
Whereas in 2023, Officer

360
00:14:50,692 --> 00:14:52,294
Cantrell was named as officer

361
00:14:52,294 --> 00:14:55,894

363
00:14:59,702 --> 00:15:00,636
Whereas his work reflects the

364
00:15:00,636 --> 00:15:01,736
principles of community

365
00:15:01,736 --> 00:15:02,705
policing, demonstrating that

366
00:15:02,705 --> 00:15:03,738
effective law enforcement

367
00:15:03,738 --> 00:15:04,973
includes communication,

368
00:15:04,973 --> 00:15:07,373
patience and understanding of

369
00:15:09,979 --> 00:15:11,580
the community and.

370
00:15:11,580 --> 00:15:13,140
Whereas Officer Cantrell.

371
00:15:13,140 --> 00:15:13,782
Has dedicated his career to the

372
00:15:13,782 --> 00:15:14,749

373
00:15:14,749 --> 00:15:15,618
Through his consistent.

374
00:15:15,618 --> 00:15:17,186
Service, including.

375
00:15:17,186 --> 00:15:18,119
Problem solving. Relationship

376
00:15:18,119 --> 00:15:19,254
building, and connecting.

377
00:15:19,254 --> 00:15:21,254
Individuals with available

378
00:15:24,193 --> 00:15:25,628

379
00:15:25,628 --> 00:15:28,628
Whereas his work reflects the

380
00:15:28,730 --> 00:15:29,732
principle, I think whereas

381
00:15:29,732 --> 00:15:31,670
Officer Cantrell has

382
00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:32,167
contributed to the safety and

383
00:15:32,167 --> 00:15:33,235

00:15:34,837 --> 00:15:35,704

00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,974
homelessness, families in

388
00:15:38,974 --> 00:15:40,376
crisis, matters of child safety

389
00:15:40,376 --> 00:15:42,776
and other seeking assistance

390
00:15:45,213 --> 00:15:46,982

00:19:44,887 --> 00:19:46,189

Thank you. Good evening. Let us

pray. Dear GOD. GOD of all, we

840
00:41:22,352 --> 00:41:24,287
have gathered together in this

841
00:41:24,287 --> 00:41:27,287
great assembly to lift prayers

842
00:41:27,457 --> 00:41:29,492
to you. We begin by asking for

843
00:41:29,492 --> 00:41:32,429
prayers for our city. We pray

844
00:41:32,429 --> 00:41:33,931

845
00:41:33,931 --> 00:41:36,000
We pray for the well-being of

846
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,969
our communities. And we pray

847
00:41:38,969 --> 00:41:40,370
for the wisdom of our leaders.

848
00:41:40,370 --> 00:41:41,771
As our city officials prepare

849
00:41:41,771 --> 00:41:43,273
to conduct business this

850
00:41:43,273 --> 00:41:44,742
evening, we ask that you give

851
00:41:44,742 --> 00:41:46,210
them guidance and grant them

852
00:41:46,210 --> 00:41:47,877
the strength to navigate the

853
00:41:47,877 --> 00:41:50,147
unique challenges of their

854
00:41:50,147 --> 00:41:52,216
various roles as they enact

855
00:41:52,216 --> 00:41:54,216
policies and legislation.

856
00:41:55,185 --> 00:41:56,220
Please GOD, give them grace and

857
00:41:56,220 --> 00:41:57,655
graciousness in fulfilling

858
00:41:57,655 --> 00:41:59,823
their assignments as leaders

859
00:41:59,823 --> 00:42:01,959
for the constituents they

860
00:42:01,959 --> 00:42:04,127
represent. Allow them to

861
00:42:04,127 --> 00:42:05,962
operate in the decision making

862
00:42:05,962 --> 00:42:08,431
authority to be a voice for

863
00:42:08,431 --> 00:42:10,233
those who are often voiceless.

864
00:42:10,233 --> 00:42:12,100
Creating a more equitable, safe

865
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:14,538
and just environment in our

866
00:42:14,538 --> 00:42:16,740
cities and local communities.

867
00:42:16,740 --> 00:42:18,909
Now, dear GOD, please give them

868
00:42:18,909 --> 00:42:21,345
the discernment and insight to

869
00:42:21,345 --> 00:42:23,514
lead their communities well.

870
00:42:23,514 --> 00:42:25,749
And finally, we pray that each

871
00:42:25,749 --> 00:42:27,517
city official will have the

872
00:42:27,517 --> 00:42:29,719
foresight and fortitude to do

873
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,922
what is required of them as our

874
00:42:31,922 --> 00:42:33,757
local leaders. We recall the

875
00:42:33,757 --> 00:42:35,459
words of the prophet micah six

876
00:42:35,459 --> 00:42:38,661
and eight, and pray that they

877
00:42:38,661 --> 00:42:41,265
will all act justly, love mercy,

878
00:42:41,265 --> 00:42:42,966
and walk humbly with you, GOD.

879
00:42:42,966 --> 00:42:45,235
Cover us all on this evening,

880
00:42:45,235 --> 00:42:47,337
dear GOD, and cover this great

881
00:42:47,337 --> 00:42:49,737
city and surrounding areas.

882
00:42:49,839 --> 00:42:52,343
It's in your holy name we pray.

883
00:42:52,343 --> 00:42:53,877
Amen.

884
00:42:53,877 --> 00:42:56,277
I pledge allegiance to

885
00:42:56,713 --> 00:42:58,649
the flag, the united states of

886
00:42:58,649 --> 00:43:00,985
america, and to the republic

887
00:43:00,985 --> 00:43:04,585
for which it stands. One nation

888
00:43:05,255 --> 00:43:07,655
under GOD, indivisible, with

889
00:43:10,694 --> 00:43:11,695
liberty and justice.

890
00:43:11,695 --> 00:43:12,896
You MAY be

891
00:43:12,896 --> 00:43:15,896

month. So a special thank you

931
00:44:37,481 --> 00:44:39,349
also to all of nashville's

932
00:44:39,349 --> 00:44:40,784
teachers, administrators, staff,

933
00:44:40,784 --> 00:44:42,619
and parents who make our

934
00:44:42,619 --> 00:44:44,540
schools great and best wishes

935
00:44:44,540 --> 00:44:46,890
to all the students as they

936
00:44:46,890 --> 00:44:47,991
embark on another year of their

937
00:44:47,991 --> 00:44:50,600
educational journeys. We know,

938
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:51,495
as elected officials and policy

939
00:44:51,495 --> 00:44:54,495
makers, that it's important to

940
00:44:54,764 --> 00:44:56,566
be life long learners and never

941
00:44:56,566 --> 00:44:58,468
stop reading and listening to

942
00:44:58,468 --> 00:45:00,871
the perspectives of experts and

943
00:45:00,871 --> 00:45:02,205
of others. It has been the

944
00:45:02,205 --> 00:45:03,540
council's pleasure to host a

945
00:45:03,540 --> 00:45:05,242
wide variety of student groups

946
00:45:05,242 --> 00:45:07,811
this summer, to learn about

947
00:45:07,811 --> 00:45:10,213
local government in dark times

948
00:45:10,213 --> 00:45:12,749
and bright times. In all the

949
00:45:12,749 --> 00:45:14,551
times civic education, critical

950
00:45:14,551 --> 00:45:16,551
thinking skills, understanding

951
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,589
of the scientific method are

952
00:45:19,589 --> 00:45:21,424
all essential. So thank you

953
00:45:21,424 --> 00:45:23,824
teachers. Public education is

954
00:45:24,261 --> 00:45:25,795
the bedrock of democracy. All

955
00:45:25,795 --> 00:45:27,365
right. Without objection, we

956
00:45:27,365 --> 00:45:28,498
will suspend the calling of the

957
00:45:28,498 --> 00:45:30,366
roll and ask the clerk to

958
00:45:30,366 --> 00:45:31,501
pleas record the names of the

959
00:45:31,501 --> 00:45:33,901
members present throughout the

960
00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:35,138
meeting. Is there a motion for

961
00:45:35,138 --> 00:45:38,738
approval of the minutes of the

962
00:45:39,342 --> 00:45:40,844

MISS Having withdrawn

1403
01:01:36,466 --> 01:01:38,866
her name from consideration.

1404
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:40,370
All right. Is there anyone else

1405
01:01:40,370 --> 01:01:43,339
seeking to be recognized to

1406
01:01:43,339 --> 01:01:46,339

01:02:04,226 --> 01:02:06,226

01:02:07,763 --> 01:02:09,565
that one spot or vacancy and

1414
01:02:09,565 --> 01:02:11,734
one nominee from among the

1415
01:02:11,734 --> 01:02:13,690
council members. Right.

1416
01:02:13,690 --> 01:02:15,672
Seeing no one else seeking to

1417
01:02:15,672 --> 01:02:18,672
be recognized, I will close

1418
01:02:22,946 --> 01:02:24,314
these nominations.

1419
01:02:24,314 --> 01:02:25,181
Okay.

01:02:36,626 --> 01:02:38,610

speaking on agenda items must

1440
01:03:03,285 --> 01:03:05,210
be prioritized to comply with

1441
01:03:05,210 --> 01:03:06,856
state law. All right, we have

in hall is speaking on agenda

1447
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:24,940

01:03:24,940 --> 01:03:26,175
in support. Go ahead sir,

1449
01:03:26,175 --> 01:03:26,976
you're recognized.

1450
01:03:26,976 --> 01:03:28,110
Hey guys,

1451
01:03:28,110 --> 01:03:30,510
last meeting y'all unanimously

1452
01:03:30,947 --> 01:03:32,782
passed us 2026 2064 that said,

1453
01:03:32,782 --> 01:03:34,984
each pedestrian and cyclist

1454
01:03:34,984 --> 01:03:36,285
death is preventable. You voted

1455
01:03:36,285 --> 01:03:37,787
to reaffirm the vision zero

1456
01:03:37,787 --> 01:03:39,555
action plan. I've got the

1457
01:03:39,555 --> 01:03:40,623
action plan pulled up so I can

1458
01:03:40,623 --> 01:03:42,558
read what it says about no

1459
01:03:42,558 --> 01:03:43,392
right turn on. Red says. The

1460
01:03:43,392 --> 01:03:44,293
U.S. Department of

1461
01:03:44,293 --> 01:03:45,394
transportation encourages the

1462
01:03:45,394 --> 01:03:46,729
widespread implementation of%

1463
01:03:46,729 --> 01:03:48,729
proven safety countermeasures

1464
01:03:48,931 --> 01:03:50,466
to accelerate safety goals, to

1465
01:03:50,466 --> 01:03:51,100
maximize return on investment,

1466
01:03:51,100 --> 01:03:52,868
implementing countermeasures

1467
01:03:52,868 --> 01:03:54,537
with proven, proven success

1468
01:03:54,537 --> 01:03:56,171
enables metro to begin reaping

1469
01:03:56,171 --> 01:03:57,606
safety benefits early and

1470
01:03:57,606 --> 01:03:58,641
effectively, thereby gaining

1471
01:03:58,641 --> 01:04:00,443
additional public support and

1472
01:04:00,443 --> 01:04:02,645
momentum. No right turn on red

1473
01:04:02,645 --> 01:04:04,713
is one of those countermeasures

1474
01:04:04,713 --> 01:04:05,948
listed. No right turn on red

1475
01:04:05,948 --> 01:04:07,283
signs permitting vehicles to

1476
01:04:07,283 --> 01:04:08,384
turn right when the

1477
01:04:08,384 --> 01:04:10,219
corresponding traffic light is

1478
01:04:10,219 --> 01:04:11,921
red can have significantly

1479
01:04:11,921 --> 01:04:13,122
adverse impacts on pedestrians

1480
01:04:13,122 --> 01:04:14,924
and cyclists attempting to

1481
01:04:14,924 --> 01:04:16,325
cross the practice, which was

1482
01:04:16,325 --> 01:04:18,494
introduced in the 1970s as a

1483
01:04:18,494 --> 01:04:19,528
way to save fuel, has shown to

1484
01:04:19,528 --> 01:04:21,397
directly conflict with

1485
01:04:21,397 --> 01:04:22,631
pedestrian and bicycle safety.

1486
01:04:22,631 --> 01:04:24,233
Prohibiting right turn on reds

1487
01:04:24,233 --> 01:04:25,634
is a low cost treatment with

1488
01:04:25,634 --> 01:04:27,536
significant benefits, and can

1489
01:04:27,536 --> 01:04:29,305
be implemented in a number of

1490
01:04:29,305 --> 01:04:31,106
different ways. Post mounted

1491
01:04:31,106 --> 01:04:32,875
sign, overhead sign or a

1492
01:04:32,875 --> 01:04:35,275
variable blackout sign. That's

1493
01:04:36,111 --> 01:04:40,311
what the plan says, and you all

1494
01:04:40,883 --> 01:04:41,883
passed saying so. Not

1495
01:04:41,883 --> 01:04:43,419
implementing right turn on red

1496
01:04:43,419 --> 01:04:44,753
is endorsing the horrible idea

1497
01:04:44,753 --> 01:04:46,622
that saving fuel is more

1498
01:04:46,622 --> 01:04:48,323
important than saving lives. If

1499
01:04:48,323 --> 01:04:49,892
you voted to reaffirm the

1500
01:04:49,892 --> 01:04:51,627
visions, your action plan vote

1501
01:04:51,627 --> 01:04:52,762
to pass. No right turn on red.

1502
01:04:52,762 --> 01:04:54,630
If y'all don't pass no right

1503
01:04:54,630 --> 01:04:55,731
turn on red. Are y'all just

1504
01:04:55,731 --> 01:04:57,466
here to talk, not take action

1505
01:04:57,466 --> 01:05:00,269
and not reduce fatalities and

1506
01:05:00,269 --> 01:05:02,710
severe injuries? Also this

1507
01:05:02,710 --> 01:05:03,539
saturday, timothy wedlock was

1508
01:05:03,539 --> 01:05:05,674
killed while crossing fourth

1509
01:05:05,674 --> 01:05:08,310
avenue on broadway. His death

1510
01:05:08,310 --> 01:05:09,679
was preventable. I'm asking you

1511
01:05:09,679 --> 01:05:11,800
to support a change.Org

1512
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:12,614
petition demanding that the

1513
01:05:12,614 --> 01:05:14,683
mayor and end all work with t

1514
01:05:14,683 --> 01:05:15,684
dot in the state to permanently

1515
01:05:15,684 --> 01:05:17,886
close broadway to vehicular

1516
01:05:17,886 --> 01:05:18,954
traffic. Vehicular traffic.

1517
01:05:18,954 --> 01:05:21,354
Together, we can accomplish

1518
01:05:21,490 --> 01:05:23,490
vision zero.

1519
01:05:23,659 --> 01:05:26,590
Thank you. Next is

1520
01:05:26,895 --> 01:05:29,640
steve rider. MR. Rider will be

1521
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:30,499
followed by ezra howard. MR.

1522
01:05:30,499 --> 01:05:33,499
Rider is speaking on agenda

1523
01:05:35,904 --> 01:05:37,904
number 41, resolution 2078 in

1524
01:05:38,107 --> 01:05:38,741
opposition. Go ahead sir.

1525
01:05:38,741 --> 01:05:40,543
Yes.

1526
01:05:40,543 --> 01:05:43,543
Good, good. Good evening. I'm

1527
01:05:44,246 --> 01:05:46,246
addressing the, the

1528
01:05:46,715 --> 01:05:48,117
reauthorization of the mdha tax

1529
01:05:48,117 --> 01:05:50,117
accountant tax increment

1530
01:05:50,352 --> 01:05:51,720
financing. The problem that I

1531
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,956
see, we had a standing

1532
01:05:53,956 --> 01:05:55,524
committee years ago, and we

1533
01:05:55,524 --> 01:05:58,327
tried to set some parameters

1534
01:05:58,327 --> 01:05:59,661
and eligibility standards, for

1535
01:05:59,661 --> 01:06:02,661
the program because it was

1536
01:06:02,865 --> 01:06:05,865
troubled. And what you have

1537
01:06:06,669 --> 01:06:09,772
before you today is a program

1538
01:06:09,772 --> 01:06:11,874
that really has no limitations.

1539
01:06:11,874 --> 01:06:14,430
And so I want to put forward a,

1540
01:06:14,430 --> 01:06:16,980
a little problem that I think

1541
01:06:16,980 --> 01:06:18,915
could happen. You could have a

1542
01:06:18,915 --> 01:06:20,115
developer come in to m d, h a

1543
01:06:20,115 --> 01:06:21,951
and say, we want to partner

1544
01:06:21,951 --> 01:06:24,187
with you, we want you, we've

1545
01:06:24,187 --> 01:06:25,354
got this great, exciting

1546
01:06:25,354 --> 01:06:27,754
revitalization plan, but we

1547
01:06:28,910 --> 01:06:29,892
need two blocks. We want you to

1548
01:06:29,892 --> 01:06:32,161
exercise your authority and

1549
01:06:32,161 --> 01:06:33,862
eminent domain. And we would

1550
01:06:33,862 --> 01:06:35,298
like to get tax increment

1551
01:06:35,298 --> 01:06:36,198
financing for our project.

1552
01:06:36,198 --> 01:06:38,668
Let's be clear, when we're

1553
01:06:38,668 --> 01:06:40,200
using tif financing for a

1554
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:41,804
certain period of time, those

1555
01:06:41,804 --> 01:06:42,972
property taxes are used for the

1556
01:06:42,972 --> 01:06:45,740
development and the rest of us

1557
01:06:45,740 --> 01:06:48,277
have to pay for that. Here's

1558
01:06:48,277 --> 01:06:49,879
the problem is that when you go

1559
01:06:49,879 --> 01:06:51,580
out there and say, well, I'm

1560
01:06:51,580 --> 01:06:53,415
not sure that this really fits

1561
01:06:53,415 --> 01:06:55,550
for us, that we like for our

1562
01:06:55,550 --> 01:06:56,785
tif program. And they'll say,

1563
01:06:56,785 --> 01:06:58,320
well, you cannot deny us

1564
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,880
because this is eligibility.

1565
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:01,891
We're eligible for this

1566
01:07:01,891 --> 01:07:04,794
financing. And so if you do not

1567
01:07:04,794 --> 01:07:06,229
provide it for us, we will

1568
01:07:06,229 --> 01:07:08,798
consider your decision to be

1569
01:07:08,798 --> 01:07:10,320
arbitrary and capricious. And

1570
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,134
we would probably look at going

1571
01:07:12,134 --> 01:07:13,803
to court. Now mdh is going like,

1572
01:07:13,803 --> 01:07:15,304
well, we really don't want to

1573
01:07:15,304 --> 01:07:17,773
go to court. So we'll grant you

1574
01:07:17,773 --> 01:07:19,108
the tif financing. In other

1575
01:07:19,108 --> 01:07:21,430
words, you really need to go

1576
01:07:21,430 --> 01:07:22,440
out there and put some

1577
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:23,980
parameters. What the study

1578
01:07:23,980 --> 01:07:24,913
committee recommended that this

1579
01:07:24,913 --> 01:07:26,148
is what we're looking for.

1580
01:07:26,148 --> 01:07:27,450
These are projects that we're

1581
01:07:27,450 --> 01:07:29,252
going to support rather than

1582
01:07:29,252 --> 01:07:30,787
just making everything eligible.

1583
01:07:30,787 --> 01:07:32,588
Because when you do that, you

1584
01:07:32,588 --> 01:07:34,570
are opening up the door to

1585
01:07:34,570 --> 01:07:35,458
major, problems. There

1586
01:07:35,458 --> 01:07:36,992
were major problems before. If

1587
01:07:36,992 --> 01:07:38,828
I had more time, I could tell

1588
01:07:38,828 --> 01:07:39,429
you about that. Thank you very

1589
01:07:39,429 --> 01:07:41,429
much.

1590
01:07:41,931 --> 01:07:44,331
Thank you, MR. Ryder.

1591
01:07:45,234 --> 01:07:47,303
Next is ezra howard. MR. Howard

1592
01:07:47,303 --> 01:07:49,710
will be followed by tajuana

1593
01:07:49,710 --> 01:07:51,941
chick. Ezra howard is speaking

1594
01:07:51,941 --> 01:07:54,509
on agenda item 128. This is

1595
01:07:54,509 --> 01:07:54,811
ordinance 1489 in support. Go

1596
01:07:54,811 --> 01:07:56,245
ahead.

1597
01:07:56,245 --> 01:07:58,548
Yes. So I support the

1598
01:07:58,548 --> 01:08:00,583
eminent domain measures. I

1599
01:08:00,583 --> 01:08:02,184
think eminent domain is a valid

1600
01:08:02,184 --> 01:08:04,587
use in a lot of cases, if not

1601
01:08:04,587 --> 01:08:07,560
most when it comes to, you know,

1602
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:08,157
proper use of property. The

1603
01:08:08,157 --> 01:08:09,759
thing that always gets me

1604
01:08:09,759 --> 01:08:12,127
though is that especially in

1605
01:08:12,127 --> 01:08:14,664
this case is discussed to be

1606
01:08:14,664 --> 01:08:16,532
used for an office park and

1607
01:08:16,532 --> 01:08:17,967
this use of eminent domain in

1608
01:08:17,967 --> 01:08:19,401
talking to finance lawyers and

1609
01:08:19,401 --> 01:08:21,801
real estate lawyers. Am

1610
01:08:21,904 --> 01:08:24,473
not a lawyer myself, is quite

1611
01:08:24,473 --> 01:08:27,976
unusual. And to just use it for

1612
01:08:27,976 --> 01:08:29,545
an office park is, is it's a

1613
01:08:29,545 --> 01:08:31,914
waste and a shame of an

1614
01:08:31,914 --> 01:08:33,480
opportunity. I floated it out

1615
01:08:33,480 --> 01:08:35,518
there just out there in the

1616
01:08:35,518 --> 01:08:38,530
social medias, that, you know,

1617
01:08:38,530 --> 01:08:39,288
we passed we did the

1618
01:08:39,288 --> 01:08:40,890
budget, we passed on additional

1619
01:08:40,890 --> 01:08:42,191
funds for the barnes fund. I

1620
01:08:42,191 --> 01:08:43,492
don't mind if you have an

1621
01:08:43,492 --> 01:08:45,728
office park, but put housing on

1622
01:08:45,728 --> 01:08:48,831
top. We and I don't care if it

1623
01:08:48,831 --> 01:08:51,367
was mmps or, you know, metro

1624
01:08:51,367 --> 01:08:52,935
council. But we also passed on

1625
01:08:52,935 --> 01:08:54,637
early learning center. So you

1626
01:08:54,637 --> 01:08:56,372
can include that as well. Now

1627
01:08:56,372 --> 01:08:58,240
I'm putting that out there. It

1628
01:08:58,240 --> 01:08:59,875
was discussed that there's the

1629
01:08:59,875 --> 01:09:01,443
ratner yards behind it and the

1630
01:09:01,443 --> 01:09:04,460
quality of life would not be so

1631
01:09:04,460 --> 01:09:06,849
great from, MISS Siegel, which

1632
01:09:06,849 --> 01:09:08,351
I hear that, but if, if sound

1633
01:09:08,351 --> 01:09:10,452
is an issue, then why put an

1634
01:09:10,452 --> 01:09:11,620
office park there? I mean, I

1635
01:09:11,620 --> 01:09:13,422
work in an office and if I

1636
01:09:13,422 --> 01:09:14,790
heard banging all day while

1637
01:09:14,790 --> 01:09:17,226
doing and I do data analytics,

1638
01:09:17,226 --> 01:09:20,162
that'd be an issue. So whatever

1639
01:09:20,162 --> 01:09:22,331
it is used for, go big and go

1640
01:09:22,331 --> 01:09:24,566
bold because this is, this is a

1641
01:09:24,566 --> 01:09:25,901
unique situation, not just not

1642
01:09:25,901 --> 01:09:28,700
just for eminent domain, but

1643
01:09:28,700 --> 01:09:29,839
just period. And lastly, I'll

1644
01:09:29,839 --> 01:09:30,906
talk on just, you know, the

1645
01:09:30,906 --> 01:09:32,841
accident that happened, man was

1646
01:09:32,841 --> 01:09:34,176
talking about the petition. And

1647
01:09:34,176 --> 01:09:37,790
since I've come from data

1648
01:09:37,790 --> 01:09:39,281
analytics, I ran those numbers.

1649
01:09:39,281 --> 01:09:42,584
And in talking about just on

1650
01:09:42,584 --> 01:09:44,584
broadway, it's 451 accidents

1651
01:09:45,788 --> 01:09:48,188
since 2019 with 97 injuries and

1652
01:09:49,291 --> 01:09:52,291
one fatality. It's 52 when it's

1653
01:09:52,728 --> 01:09:55,728
just pedestrians and 40 I think

1654
01:09:56,564 --> 01:09:58,964
was 40 no, 4452 injuries and

1655
01:09:59,802 --> 01:10:02,802
one fatality. So that's 50% of

1656
01:10:03,605 --> 01:10:04,473
injuries for 6% of crashes. So

1657
01:10:04,473 --> 01:10:06,473
close it down.

1658
01:10:07,443 --> 01:10:09,443
Thank you. Next

1659
01:10:11,346 --> 01:10:13,782
is tajuana. Chick chick will be

1660
01:10:13,782 --> 01:10:15,985
followed by benjamin vaught.

1661
01:10:15,985 --> 01:10:18,385
Twana chick is speaking

1662
01:10:19,254 --> 01:10:20,622
regarding adding conditions to

1663
01:10:20,622 --> 01:10:22,424
legislation that is on third

1664
01:10:22,424 --> 01:10:23,492
reading. MISS Chick, you're

1665
01:10:23,492 --> 01:10:24,259
recognized. Go ahead.

1666
01:10:24,259 --> 01:10:25,327
Hi,

1667
01:10:25,327 --> 01:10:26,695
everybody. You're going to be

1668
01:10:26,695 --> 01:10:28,631
told tonight that amendments

1669
01:10:28,631 --> 01:10:30,980
are forthcoming for third

1670
01:10:30,980 --> 01:10:32,234
reading. The problem with this

1671
01:10:32,234 --> 01:10:33,969
method of operation is we, the

1672
01:10:33,969 --> 01:10:36,138
community, got almost 20 people

1673
01:10:36,138 --> 01:10:37,973
here. The public. We don't get

1674
01:10:37,973 --> 01:10:39,441
to have a say. So once it gets

1675
01:10:39,441 --> 01:10:41,577
to third reading, we don't get

1676
01:10:41,577 --> 01:10:43,412
to review and comment on all

1677
01:10:43,412 --> 01:10:44,880
available data. We've

1678
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:46,548
experienced having council

1679
01:10:46,548 --> 01:10:48,350
members promise additions to

1680
01:10:48,350 --> 01:10:50,185
bills here on this very council

1681
01:10:50,185 --> 01:10:51,353
floor during public hearing,

1682
01:10:51,353 --> 01:10:53,789
and it appears that there's not

1683
01:10:53,789 --> 01:10:55,590
a customary method for the

1684
01:10:55,590 --> 01:10:57,359
council to go back and review

1685
01:10:57,359 --> 01:10:59,495
and ensure that everything

1686
01:10:59,495 --> 01:11:01,430
promised verbally here on the

1687
01:11:01,430 --> 01:11:03,899
floor actually makes it into

1688
01:11:03,899 --> 01:11:05,667
later legislation. So please

1689
01:11:05,667 --> 01:11:06,769
don't just go for promised

1690
01:11:06,769 --> 01:11:08,604
amendments that are supposed to

1691
01:11:08,604 --> 01:11:10,706
come later. Let the public

1692
01:11:10,706 --> 01:11:12,341
truly have a say on legislation

1693
01:11:12,341 --> 01:11:14,243
that affects them by reserving

1694
01:11:14,243 --> 01:11:15,711
the public hearing for a time

1695
01:11:15,711 --> 01:11:17,245
when all pertinent amendments

1696
01:11:17,245 --> 01:11:19,415
have been filed. By the time

1697
01:11:19,415 --> 01:11:21,216
the legislation gets to you,

1698
01:11:21,216 --> 01:11:22,851
there have been months or years

1699
01:11:22,851 --> 01:11:25,120
for amendments, for discussions,

1700
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:26,822
for finality. We should know by

1701
01:11:26,822 --> 01:11:29,491
now what the final version of a

1702
01:11:29,491 --> 01:11:31,930
bill is. Secondly, we as a city

1703
01:11:31,930 --> 01:11:32,995
are suffering today from the

1704
01:11:32,995 --> 01:11:34,463
lack of planning 50 years ago.

1705
01:11:34,463 --> 01:11:35,964
We're also reaping some

1706
01:11:35,964 --> 01:11:38,364
benefits from good planning,

1707
01:11:38,433 --> 01:11:40,569
but we aren't living in happy

1708
01:11:40,569 --> 01:11:42,604
accidents. It was always good

1709
01:11:42,604 --> 01:11:44,239
planning or a lack of planning.

1710
01:11:44,239 --> 01:11:46,308
That leaves us standing here

1711
01:11:46,308 --> 01:11:48,810
where we are today. With the

1712
01:11:48,810 --> 01:11:51,547
blessings and the problems. So

1713
01:11:51,547 --> 01:11:54,616
today, tonight, we need to make

1714
01:11:54,616 --> 01:11:56,180
good plans for the year 2076.

1715
01:11:56,180 --> 01:11:58,653
And if I'm here, then you

1716
01:11:58,653 --> 01:12:00,956
better look out. Please help us

1717
01:12:00,956 --> 01:12:02,858
make good plans by requiring

1718
01:12:02,858 --> 01:12:05,794
that all plans that come before

1719
01:12:05,794 --> 01:12:07,620
you are good, thoughtful,

1720
01:12:07,620 --> 01:12:09,310
inclusive and take into account

1721
01:12:09,310 --> 01:12:10,866
the larger picture and the

1722
01:12:10,866 --> 01:12:14,690
future of our city and that we

1723
01:12:14,690 --> 01:12:15,437
meet the needs of everyone, the

1724
01:12:15,437 --> 01:12:16,938
greatest percentage of citizens

1725
01:12:16,938 --> 01:12:17,773
possible. Thank you.

1726
01:12:17,773 --> 01:12:19,773
Thank you,

1727
01:12:20,142 --> 01:12:21,677
MR. Chair. Next is benjamin

1728
01:12:21,677 --> 01:12:24,770
vaught. Benjamin will be

1729
01:12:24,212 --> 01:12:25,614
followed by arianne go.

1730
01:12:25,614 --> 01:12:27,716
Benjamin vaught is speaking

1731
01:12:27,716 --> 01:12:29,184
regarding vision zero in

1732
01:12:29,184 --> 01:12:29,951
support. Go ahead. You're

1733
01:12:29,951 --> 01:12:30,587
recognized.

1734
01:12:30,587 --> 01:12:30,719
Thank you.

1735
01:12:30,719 --> 01:12:32,719
Hi, my

1736
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:35,323
name is ben vaught. I live in

1737
01:12:35,323 --> 01:12:37,125
germantown, I work downtown. I

1738
01:12:37,125 --> 01:12:38,326
don't work on broadway or just

1739
01:12:38,326 --> 01:12:39,728
south of broadway, which means

1740
01:12:39,728 --> 01:12:41,729
I have to cross broadway twice

1741
01:12:41,729 --> 01:12:42,831
a day, every day that I work

1742
01:12:42,831 --> 01:12:45,400
because I commute to work

1743
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,800
exclusively on a bicycle.

1744
01:12:48,770 --> 01:12:49,871
Parking is $150 a month. Cars

1745
01:12:49,871 --> 01:12:51,806
are very expensive, and I want

1746
01:12:51,806 --> 01:12:53,775
mine to last a long time. So I

1747
01:12:53,775 --> 01:12:56,440
don't drive it as if I don't

1748
01:12:56,440 --> 01:12:57,445
have to. Driving to work would

1749
01:12:57,445 --> 01:12:58,614
mean a significant lifestyle

1750
01:12:58,614 --> 01:13:00,348
change for me because it would

1751
01:13:00,348 --> 01:13:02,751
require a lot more money and I

1752
01:13:02,751 --> 01:13:04,486
don't want to do that. A lot of

1753
01:13:04,486 --> 01:13:05,687
my coworkers also commute.

1754
01:13:05,687 --> 01:13:06,855
Either they walk to work or

1755
01:13:06,855 --> 01:13:08,623
they ride scooters, or they

1756
01:13:08,623 --> 01:13:10,492
ride bikes, or they take the

1757
01:13:10,492 --> 01:13:11,693
bus and a lot of them don't

1758
01:13:11,693 --> 01:13:13,561
have a voice in this process

1759
01:13:13,561 --> 01:13:15,563
because a lot of them are at

1760
01:13:15,563 --> 01:13:16,665
work right now. I work at a bar

1761
01:13:16,665 --> 01:13:18,700
and they don't have time to

1762
01:13:18,700 --> 01:13:20,468
come here at 6:00 on a monday

1763
01:13:20,468 --> 01:13:21,903
because they're at work. A lot

1764
01:13:21,903 --> 01:13:24,390
of them are also cannot vote in

1765
01:13:24,390 --> 01:13:25,340
the U.S. So they have really

1766
01:13:25,340 --> 01:13:27,876
have no voice in this process,

1767
01:13:27,876 --> 01:13:29,611
but which is why vision zero is

1768
01:13:29,611 --> 01:13:31,813
so important. Vision zero gives

1769
01:13:31,813 --> 01:13:34,382
them a voice in this process

1770
01:13:34,382 --> 01:13:36,951
and this body less than a month

1771
01:13:36,951 --> 01:13:37,920
ago, as martin said, voted to

1772
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:39,554
reaffirm the city's commitment

1773
01:13:39,554 --> 01:13:40,789
to vision zero. I'm not going

1774
01:13:40,789 --> 01:13:41,924
to read the passage again. You

1775
01:13:41,924 --> 01:13:43,625
know what it says. Hopefully

1776
01:13:43,625 --> 01:13:46,895
you voted for it. Hopefully you

1777
01:13:46,895 --> 01:13:49,731
read it. It's it's frustrating

1778
01:13:49,731 --> 01:13:53,670
that a death on a street that I

1779
01:13:53,670 --> 01:13:54,302
crossed twice a day, every day

1780
01:13:54,302 --> 01:13:55,804
has it's already been labeled

1781
01:13:55,804 --> 01:13:57,672
as an unpreventable accident.

1782
01:13:57,672 --> 01:13:58,906
It's not. And the resolution

1783
01:13:58,906 --> 01:13:59,974
says that it's not. We don't

1784
01:13:59,974 --> 01:14:01,810
even know the details yet. We

1785
01:14:01,810 --> 01:14:05,410
don't know how fast that car

1786
01:14:06,815 --> 01:14:09,617
was going. And. Yeah, it's just

1787
01:14:09,617 --> 01:14:11,386
it's frustrating. And I also

1788
01:14:11,386 --> 01:14:12,620
want to point out that land use

1789
01:14:12,620 --> 01:14:14,255
is also a component of this.

1790
01:14:14,255 --> 01:14:15,457
You're going to be asked

1791
01:14:15,457 --> 01:14:17,559
tonight by people in this room

1792
01:14:17,559 --> 01:14:18,993
to make a project near transit

1793
01:14:18,993 --> 01:14:20,395
that's bikeable to downtown to

1794
01:14:20,395 --> 01:14:21,996
make it smaller and worse,

1795
01:14:21,996 --> 01:14:23,632
fewer homes, fewer jobs, less

1796
01:14:23,632 --> 01:14:24,800
places to shop. Doing that

1797
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:26,167
doesn't eliminate that demand.

1798
01:14:26,167 --> 01:14:27,569
It just pushes it further out,

1799
01:14:27,569 --> 01:14:28,837
which means more driving, which

1800
01:14:28,837 --> 01:14:31,837
means more cars, which means

1801
01:14:31,873 --> 01:14:34,873
more deaths. So thank you.

1802
01:14:35,576 --> 01:14:38,713
Thank you. Next and last for

1803
01:14:38,713 --> 01:14:41,713
public comment is aaron coda

1804
01:14:42,383 --> 01:14:44,783
speaking on agenda item 104.

1805
01:14:45,954 --> 01:14:47,689
This is ordinance 1389 in

1806
01:14:47,689 --> 01:14:48,790
opposition. Go ahead sir.

1807
01:14:48,790 --> 01:14:50,658
Yes.

1808
01:14:50,658 --> 01:14:53,529
With respect to all of the

1809
01:14:53,529 --> 01:14:55,929
council members, speaking to

1810
01:14:56,300 --> 01:14:57,432
this about this one because,

1811
01:14:57,432 --> 01:15:00,432
I'm the landlord of this

1812
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:04,600
property and resuming was in my,

1813
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:06,841
my choice was the choice for my

1814
01:15:06,841 --> 01:15:08,376
council member, but I'm

1815
01:15:08,376 --> 01:15:10,245
opposing this one and I already

1816
01:15:10,245 --> 01:15:12,246
sent an email yesterday to all

1817
01:15:12,246 --> 01:15:14,480
of the council members showing

1818
01:15:14,480 --> 01:15:17,648
that a lot of landlords around

1819
01:15:17,652 --> 01:15:20,489
me, disagree with this rezoning.

1820
01:15:20,489 --> 01:15:24,250
I just minutes ago, I spoke

1821
01:15:24,250 --> 01:15:25,961
with council member, and she

1822
01:15:25,961 --> 01:15:27,696
said she's gonna defer it to

1823
01:15:27,696 --> 01:15:29,498
our next meeting, which is

1824
01:15:29,498 --> 01:15:31,660
going to be sometime in

1825
01:15:31,660 --> 01:15:34,660
SEPTEMBER to hear some people

1826
01:15:34,202 --> 01:15:37,202
from the engineering, at the

1827
01:15:37,472 --> 01:15:38,940
very end, I'm just asking

1828
01:15:38,940 --> 01:15:41,340
council members to consider,

1829
01:15:41,777 --> 01:15:44,777
you know, my disapproval for

1830
01:15:45,380 --> 01:15:45,577
this rezoning. Thank you.

1831
01:15:45,577 --> 01:15:47,577
Thank

1832
01:15:48,183 --> 01:15:49,917
you, sir. All right. That

01:15:49,917 --> 01:15:52,317

01:16:01,262 --> 01:16:04,432

item on public hearing, is

agenda item one, ordinance

01:24:16,491 --> 01:24:17,891
Preserves about 23% of natural

2072
01:24:17,891 --> 01:24:20,291
stream buffers and perimeter

2073
01:24:21,128 --> 01:24:22,196
tree lines. We've worked, had

2074
01:24:22,196 --> 01:24:23,897
multiple meetings with

2075
01:24:23,897 --> 01:24:25,265
neighbors and be happy to

2076
01:24:25,265 --> 01:24:26,934
answer any questions you might

2077
01:24:26,934 --> 01:24:27,868
have. Thank you.

2078
01:24:27,868 --> 01:24:29,169
All right. So

2079
01:24:29,169 --> 01:24:31,710
this is a public hearing. So we

2080
01:24:31,710 --> 01:24:32,139
don't do questions at this time.

2081
01:24:32,139 --> 01:24:33,774
But go ahead and come on

2082
01:24:33,774 --> 01:24:34,875
forward. Ma'am. You're next.

2083
01:24:34,875 --> 01:24:35,476
You're recognized.

2084
01:24:35,476 --> 01:24:36,810
Thank you.

2085
01:24:36,810 --> 01:24:38,478
My name is diane patton, and

2086
01:24:38,478 --> 01:24:39,546
I've been a realtor with

2087
01:24:39,546 --> 01:24:41,282
crye-leike realtors for 28

2088
01:24:41,282 --> 01:24:42,383
years. And I have the honor of

2089
01:24:42,383 --> 01:24:43,817
representing the johnstons,

2090
01:24:43,817 --> 01:24:45,285
george and shirley, who have

2091
01:24:45,285 --> 01:24:47,530
lived at this property for the

2092
01:24:47,530 --> 01:24:47,187
last 40 plus years.

2093
01:24:47,187 --> 01:24:49,560
Ma'am,

2094
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:50,257
might you pull that mic a

2095
01:24:50,257 --> 01:24:52,159
little bit closer to your mouth

2096
01:24:52,159 --> 01:24:52,359
and or speak up? Thank you

2097
01:24:52,359 --> 01:24:54,359
ma'am.

2098
01:24:54,428 --> 01:24:56,129
Thank you. My clients

2099
01:24:56,129 --> 01:24:57,898
are pretty much, let's see,

2100
01:24:57,898 --> 01:24:58,980
where was I at here?

2101
01:24:58,980 --> 01:24:59,533
apologize.

2102
01:24:59,533 --> 01:25:01,335
I want to make sure we hear you.

2103
01:25:01,335 --> 01:25:02,570
Sure. George and shirley, who

2104
01:25:02,570 --> 01:25:04,505
have lived at this property for

2105
01:25:04,505 --> 01:25:06,240
the last 40 plus years. As you

2106
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:07,975
can only imagine how very much

2107
01:25:07,975 --> 01:25:10,478
this area has changed and grown.

2108
01:25:10,478 --> 01:25:12,313
My clients are pretty much

2109
01:25:12,313 --> 01:25:13,714
surrounded by cambridge farms

2110
01:25:13,714 --> 01:25:15,315
development, which is behind

2111
01:25:15,315 --> 01:25:17,351
them, and they can look out one

2112
01:25:17,351 --> 01:25:20,187
end ofthe property and see a 4

2113
01:25:20,187 --> 01:25:22,587
to 5 story apartment buildings,

2114
01:25:24,424 --> 01:25:25,592
along with retail convenience

2115
01:25:25,592 --> 01:25:26,960
stores and gas stations, and a

2116
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:28,429
myriad of fast food eateries.

2117
01:25:28,429 --> 01:25:29,797
Directly on the opposite corner

2118
01:25:29,797 --> 01:25:32,199
from them is the community

2119
01:25:32,199 --> 01:25:33,800
health office building. Down

2120
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:35,269
the street, a very short

2121
01:25:35,269 --> 01:25:37,710
distance are townhomes and

2122
01:25:37,710 --> 01:25:38,839
rental properties. My client's

2123
01:25:38,839 --> 01:25:40,675
custom built a frank lloyd

2124
01:25:40,675 --> 01:25:43,750
wright inspired home and

2125
01:25:43,210 --> 01:25:45,746
enjoyed this home for 30 and

2126
01:25:45,746 --> 01:25:47,914
acres very much until all this

2127
01:25:47,914 --> 01:25:49,650
growth and development started

2128
01:25:49,650 --> 01:25:52,650
overtaking the once very quiet

2129
01:25:52,953 --> 01:25:54,755
rural area. Now that my clients

2130
01:25:54,755 --> 01:25:57,624
can't, due to age and health

2131
01:25:57,624 --> 01:25:59,590
related issues started,

2132
01:25:59,590 --> 01:26:00,861
couldn't maintain the property

2133
01:26:00,861 --> 01:26:03,330
and we are trying to expedite

2134
01:26:03,330 --> 01:26:04,598
their exit strategy. We never

2135
01:26:04,598 --> 01:26:06,199
listed the property. We reached

2136
01:26:06,199 --> 01:26:07,767
out to a handful of top

2137
01:26:07,767 --> 01:26:09,469
builders who do what they say

2138
01:26:09,469 --> 01:26:11,271
they're going to do. There are

2139
01:26:11,271 --> 01:26:13,506
other builders in the area that

2140
01:26:13,506 --> 01:26:15,676
we bypassed because know

2141
01:26:15,676 --> 01:26:18,878
their track records. So we feel

2142
01:26:18,878 --> 01:26:20,780
like, in my homes will work

2143
01:26:20,780 --> 01:26:22,115
with the community and will

2144
01:26:22,115 --> 01:26:23,884
keep their word as they've

2145
01:26:23,884 --> 01:26:25,685
already had several community

2146
01:26:25,685 --> 01:26:27,887
meetings, most of those either

2147
01:26:27,887 --> 01:26:29,289
virtual or in person and are

2148
01:26:29,289 --> 01:26:31,424
still reaching out to property

2149
01:26:31,424 --> 01:26:32,926
owners that are close to try to

2150
01:26:32,926 --> 01:26:33,994
make as many possible

2151
01:26:33,994 --> 01:26:35,396
concessions and trying to be a

2152
01:26:35,396 --> 01:26:37,198
good neighbor. Thank you for

2153
01:26:37,198 --> 01:26:39,132
your time and consideration.

2154
01:26:39,132 --> 01:26:40,300
And by the way, I live about a

2155
01:26:40,300 --> 01:26:41,669
mile away, so I'm concerned

2156
01:26:41,669 --> 01:26:42,202
what ges here as well. Thank

2157
01:26:42,202 --> 01:26:43,370
you.

2158
01:26:43,370 --> 01:26:46,370
Thank you. Go ahead. Come

2159
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:49,710
on. Forward recognized. Now if

2160
01:26:49,710 --> 01:26:49,910
you would pull that back up.

2161
01:26:49,910 --> 01:26:51,412
Okay.

2162
01:26:51,412 --> 01:26:53,800
Good evening. My name is

2163
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:54,681
dave cumming. I work for mi

2164
01:26:54,681 --> 01:26:56,183
homes. This is a statement

2165
01:26:56,183 --> 01:26:57,717
being read on behalf of one of

2166
01:26:57,717 --> 01:26:59,185
our sellers, bryce jennings.

2167
01:26:59,185 --> 01:27:01,200
Since he could not be here

2168
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:02,923
tonight, there was a time in a

2169
01:27:02,923 --> 01:27:04,191
room just like this. I could

2170
01:27:04,191 --> 01:27:05,992
ask you to raise your hand. If

2171
01:27:05,992 --> 01:27:07,227
you know and respect the name

2172
01:27:07,227 --> 01:27:09,290
of neil jennings. Every hand in

2173
01:27:09,290 --> 01:27:11,310
the room would be raised for my

2174
01:27:11,310 --> 01:27:12,466
dad. My father bought this land

2175
01:27:12,466 --> 01:27:15,200
along with dozens of other

2176
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:16,836
plots over 50 years ago. I was

2177
01:27:16,836 --> 01:27:18,238
raised on this land as a

2178
01:27:18,238 --> 01:27:20,740
toddler. I would run barefoot

2179
01:27:20,740 --> 01:27:21,609
on what now is some of your

2180
01:27:21,609 --> 01:27:23,377
yards. When we moved here,

2181
01:27:23,377 --> 01:27:25,450
there was almost nothing, just

2182
01:27:25,450 --> 01:27:26,513
a couple of large farms like

2183
01:27:26,513 --> 01:27:27,981
clay turners, which now has

2184
01:27:27,981 --> 01:27:30,150
been built into a small,

2185
01:27:30,150 --> 01:27:32,252
bustling metropolis with all

2186
01:27:32,252 --> 01:27:34,210
manner of commercial buildings,

2187
01:27:34,210 --> 01:27:36,210
restaurants, apartments and

2188
01:27:36,322 --> 01:27:37,758
impressive infrastructure. My

2189
01:27:37,758 --> 01:27:39,426
dad bought this land not just

2190
01:27:39,426 --> 01:27:41,261
to carve out a life for his

2191
01:27:41,261 --> 01:27:42,729
family of six children. He

2192
01:27:42,729 --> 01:27:44,965
bought it because he saw a

2193
01:27:44,965 --> 01:27:46,867
vision. He saw a legacy.

2194
01:27:46,867 --> 01:27:48,836
Looking at this land back then,

2195
01:27:48,836 --> 01:27:50,971
it was a difficult thing to see.

2196
01:27:50,971 --> 01:27:53,173
The land was rocky. No sewer,

2197
01:27:53,173 --> 01:27:55,750
no city water. Just a well that

2198
01:27:55,750 --> 01:27:58,512
he dug. When I see that this

2199
01:27:58,512 --> 01:28:00,314
whole area has become, I am in

2200
01:28:00,314 --> 01:28:02,182
awe of what my father could see

2201
01:28:02,182 --> 01:28:03,951
for the future. He knew the

2202
01:28:03,951 --> 01:28:05,352
potential of this land, how it

2203
01:28:05,352 --> 01:28:07,220
could provide for new

2204
01:28:07,220 --> 01:28:09,323
businesses, for housing, for

2205
01:28:09,323 --> 01:28:11,158
young homeowners, and most

2206
01:28:11,158 --> 01:28:12,893
importantly, to provide for his

2207
01:28:12,893 --> 01:28:15,610
family. He has been gone for 26

2208
01:28:15,610 --> 01:28:17,231
years now, but he is still

2209
01:28:17,231 --> 01:28:18,365
providing for his family. I

2210
01:28:18,365 --> 01:28:19,800
understand the reluctance of my

2211
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:21,601
friends and neighbors in the

2212
01:28:21,601 --> 01:28:22,903
community. There is always some

2213
01:28:22,903 --> 01:28:24,438
uncertainty about how a project

2214
01:28:24,438 --> 01:28:25,972
like this will affect the

2215
01:28:25,972 --> 01:28:27,675
neighborhood. However, I have

2216
01:28:27,675 --> 01:28:29,877
seen how the developer has made

2217
01:28:29,877 --> 01:28:31,278
many changes to alleviate these

2218
01:28:31,278 --> 01:28:32,980
concerns. The last thingi want

2219
01:28:32,980 --> 01:28:35,682
to do is cause an inconvenience

2220
01:28:35,682 --> 01:28:37,170
to the community. All I can ask

2221
01:28:37,170 --> 01:28:38,585
is that when we make these

2222
01:28:38,585 --> 01:28:39,820
decisions, you consider my

2223
01:28:39,820 --> 01:28:41,722
family's interest as owners for

2224
01:28:41,722 --> 01:28:43,557
more than years. We do not

2225
01:28:43,557 --> 01:28:46,393
take the sale of this property

2226
01:28:46,393 --> 01:28:47,861
lightly. We are not flippers or

2227
01:28:47,861 --> 01:28:49,396
speculators. We are original

2228
01:28:49,396 --> 01:28:51,832
members of this community. We

2229
01:28:51,832 --> 01:28:52,966
are my father's legacy. Bryce

2230
01:28:52,966 --> 01:28:54,301
jennings.

2231
01:28:54,301 --> 01:28:54,768
Thank you.

2232
01:28:54,768 --> 01:28:56,768
Go ahead,

2233
01:28:58,305 --> 01:29:00,507
sir. Come on up. You're

2234
01:29:00,507 --> 01:29:01,541
recognized.

2235
01:29:01,541 --> 01:29:02,642
Good evening. My

2236
01:29:02,642 --> 01:29:04,511
name is tyler deaton and I'm

2237
01:29:04,511 --> 01:29:05,579
with mi homes. Thank you for

2238
01:29:05,579 --> 01:29:06,980
your time here today. We've

2239
01:29:06,980 --> 01:29:08,782
worked closely with council

2240
01:29:08,782 --> 01:29:10,217
member lee, the community and

2241
01:29:10,217 --> 01:29:11,485
planning for the past year to

2242
01:29:11,485 --> 01:29:13,420
develop a plan that we're proud

2243
01:29:13,420 --> 01:29:14,488
to present. We've had five

2244
01:29:14,488 --> 01:29:16,690
community meetings through the

2245
01:29:16,690 --> 01:29:18,859
council member lee's office in

2246
01:29:18,859 --> 01:29:20,427
person and via webex. We held

2247
01:29:20,427 --> 01:29:21,862
two separate in-person sessions

2248
01:29:21,862 --> 01:29:23,130
with the community following

2249
01:29:23,130 --> 01:29:25,130
the planning commission

2250
01:29:25,365 --> 01:29:27,501
approval, which was unanimously,

2251
01:29:27,501 --> 01:29:28,601
unanimously approved. There was

2252
01:29:28,601 --> 01:29:30,804
plenty of refinement along the

2253
01:29:30,804 --> 01:29:33,607
way with this plan, and this s

2254
01:29:33,607 --> 01:29:35,775
p incorporates changes based on

2255
01:29:35,775 --> 01:29:37,677
public and individual concerns

2256
01:29:37,677 --> 01:29:39,679
raised during our total seven

2257
01:29:39,679 --> 01:29:41,348
minutes meetings with the

2258
01:29:41,348 --> 01:29:43,348
community. Nashville continues

2259
01:29:43,616 --> 01:29:45,384
to face a significant housing

2260
01:29:45,384 --> 01:29:47,253
shortage, creating a need for

2261
01:29:47,253 --> 01:29:49,220
more attainable housing options.

2262
01:29:49,220 --> 01:29:50,557
This plan is the best use for

2263
01:29:50,557 --> 01:29:52,557
these properties. Meeting

2264
01:29:53,930 --> 01:29:54,561
policy, the nashville next plan,

2265
01:29:54,561 --> 01:29:55,895
and the applicable transects

2266
01:29:55,895 --> 01:29:58,640
from the community character

2267
01:29:58,640 --> 01:29:59,900
manual. We've committed to

2268
01:29:59,900 --> 01:30:01,368
numerous onsite and offsite

2269
01:30:01,368 --> 01:30:03,503
traffic improvements and will

2270
01:30:03,503 --> 01:30:04,971
continue to work with staff for

2271
01:30:04,971 --> 01:30:06,940
these. Thank you for your

2272
01:30:06,940 --> 01:30:07,841
consideration this evening. I

2273
01:30:07,841 --> 01:30:09,943
respectfully ask for your

2274
01:30:09,943 --> 01:30:10,677
approval. Thank you.

2275
01:30:10,677 --> 01:30:12,479
Thank you.

2276
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:13,213
All right. Also in support. Go

2277
01:30:13,213 --> 01:30:14,314
ahead.

2278
01:30:14,314 --> 01:30:15,348
Hey,

2279
01:30:15,348 --> 01:30:16,650
you know, I can't

2280
01:30:16,650 --> 01:30:18,418
really afford to purchase any

2281
01:30:18,418 --> 01:30:19,719
of the proposed homes here, but

2282
01:30:19,719 --> 01:30:21,888
I have lots of friends that

2283
01:30:21,888 --> 01:30:23,790
would love to be able to buy a

2284
01:30:23,790 --> 01:30:25,425
home like this or live in one

2285
01:30:25,425 --> 01:30:26,459
of the condo, you know,

2286
01:30:26,459 --> 01:30:28,459
multifamily that options.

2287
01:30:29,730 --> 01:30:30,897
They're also, it's not really

2288
01:30:30,897 --> 01:30:33,297
transit accessible right now,

2289
01:30:33,300 --> 01:30:34,901
but as a part of we go forward,

2290
01:30:34,901 --> 01:30:36,936
you know, the future of wego

2291
01:30:36,936 --> 01:30:40,536
has a plan. Bus stops going

2292
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:43,420
about 400m, away from this,

2293
01:30:43,420 --> 01:30:45,244
development right there where

2294
01:30:45,244 --> 01:30:48,148
like the mall is and everything.

2295
01:30:48,148 --> 01:30:49,549
And so I think people can

2296
01:30:49,549 --> 01:30:51,718
choose how they move here as

2297
01:30:51,718 --> 01:30:52,850
well. Thank you.

2298
01:30:52,850 --> 01:30:53,953
All right.

2299
01:30:53,953 --> 01:30:56,756
Thank you. Is anyone else

2300
01:30:56,756 --> 01:30:59,756
seeking to be recognized in

2301
01:30:59,793 --> 01:31:02,793
support? Okay. Seeing none, we

2302
01:31:02,862 --> 01:31:04,998
will now move to opposition. If

2303
01:31:04,998 --> 01:31:07,967
you seek to speak or be

2304
01:31:07,967 --> 01:31:10,967
recognized, if you would please,

2305
01:31:12,238 --> 01:31:14,374
come forward, and to the podium,

2306
01:31:14,374 --> 01:31:16,276
and others MAY line up in the

2307
01:31:16,276 --> 01:31:17,677
vicinity of the door. Okay. Go

2308
01:31:17,677 --> 01:31:18,678
ahead, MISS Chick.

2309
01:31:18,678 --> 01:31:20,678
Hi there.

2310
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:22,749
The johnstons were great

2311
01:31:22,749 --> 01:31:25,149
neighbors. They're great people.

2312
01:31:25,185 --> 01:31:26,352
And, I holmes is doing a lot of

2313
01:31:26,352 --> 01:31:27,720
things right. They did have

2314
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:29,222
meetings. They met us on the

2315
01:31:29,222 --> 01:31:30,623
property. They listened when we

2316
01:31:30,623 --> 01:31:32,792
in the community suggested

2317
01:31:32,792 --> 01:31:34,293
adding the jennings property so

2318
01:31:34,293 --> 01:31:37,960
that it could be a better plan,

2319
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:38,498
a more cohesive plan. The big

2320
01:31:38,498 --> 01:31:39,666
problem here is that this

2321
01:31:39,666 --> 01:31:41,367
development, along with another

2322
01:31:41,367 --> 01:31:43,269
one that got deferred earlier,

2323
01:31:43,269 --> 01:31:45,305
is going to cause a fifth

2324
01:31:45,305 --> 01:31:47,207
roadway intersection on

2325
01:31:47,207 --> 01:31:49,375
cambridge road between old

2326
01:31:49,375 --> 01:31:50,743
franklin and blair field.

2327
01:31:50,743 --> 01:31:53,312
Residents have asked for help

2328
01:31:53,312 --> 01:31:54,947
with these challenging

2329
01:31:54,947 --> 01:31:56,216
intersections. The improvement

2330
01:31:56,216 --> 01:31:59,180
that this one is going to

2331
01:31:59,180 --> 01:32:01,418
contribute towards is several

2332
01:32:02,655 --> 01:32:04,900
miles away at preston at pettus,

2333
01:32:04,900 --> 01:32:06,900
where there's another

2334
01:32:06,226 --> 01:32:08,528
development going in. It's only

2335
01:32:08,528 --> 01:32:10,430
0.6 miles between old franklin

2336
01:32:10,430 --> 01:32:12,499
and blair field, and it's going

2337
01:32:12,499 --> 01:32:13,833
to be five intersections that

2338
01:32:13,833 --> 01:32:16,669
appears to go outside, even

2339
01:32:16,669 --> 01:32:18,104
though it's a standards

2340
01:32:18,104 --> 01:32:20,390
essential. Some maps, one of

2341
01:32:20,390 --> 01:32:22,108
them is 500 and some odd feet.

2342
01:32:22,108 --> 01:32:23,343
One of them is just over 600ft.

2343
01:32:23,343 --> 01:32:26,780
The other ones also going to be

2344
01:32:26,780 --> 01:32:27,813
just over 600, one, 700. So one

2345
01:32:27,813 --> 01:32:29,649
of them definitely makes it.

2346
01:32:29,649 --> 01:32:31,518
But this is being called the I

2347
01:32:31,518 --> 01:32:33,253
24 bypass. We're about to have

2348
01:32:33,253 --> 01:32:34,530
the tennessee not a choice

2349
01:32:34,530 --> 01:32:36,456
lanes. That's going to drive

2350
01:32:36,456 --> 01:32:40,560
more traffic onto it for the

2351
01:32:40,393 --> 01:32:41,861
entirety of that build out the residents in the

2352
01:32:41,861 --> 01:32:43,997
area are going to be the ones

2353
01:32:43,997 --> 01:32:46,532
who suffer from, again, a lack

2354
01:32:46,532 --> 01:32:48,932
of planning. We desperately

2355
01:32:49,468 --> 01:32:52,468
need a big, cohesive meeting

2356
01:32:52,705 --> 01:32:54,440
with indot and other agencies

2357
01:32:54,440 --> 01:32:56,709
who are part of this. We've

2358
01:32:56,709 --> 01:32:58,177
asked for it. We've been asking

2359
01:32:58,177 --> 01:32:59,979
for several months, sent emails

2360
01:32:59,979 --> 01:33:02,379
to everybody, haven't even

2361
01:33:03,116 --> 01:33:04,584
gotten a response anymore. The

2362
01:33:04,584 --> 01:33:06,686
final thing that the community

2363
01:33:06,686 --> 01:33:08,588
has a big issue with is how

2364
01:33:08,588 --> 01:33:10,220
much of this sets right on

2365
01:33:10,220 --> 01:33:11,824
cambridge road. That sets a

2366
01:33:11,824 --> 01:33:14,224
precedent for development to

2367
01:33:14,293 --> 01:33:15,394
follow. So we appreciate your

2368
01:33:15,394 --> 01:33:16,896
time. We would appreciate your

2369
01:33:16,896 --> 01:33:18,531
help setting up meetings. Thank

2370
01:33:18,531 --> 01:33:20,660
you.

2371
01:33:20,660 --> 01:33:22,568
Go ahead and come on

2372
01:33:22,568 --> 01:33:23,803
forward.

2373
01:33:23,803 --> 01:33:25,104
Hi, I'm lori shaffer

2374
01:33:25,104 --> 01:33:26,873
and I live in the cambridge

2375
01:33:26,873 --> 01:33:28,707
area, and I don't have a ton to

2376
01:33:28,707 --> 01:33:30,843
say about this other than I

2377
01:33:30,843 --> 01:33:33,243
just keep hearing people

2378
01:33:33,379 --> 01:33:35,181
comment about 5 to 7 meetings

2379
01:33:35,181 --> 01:33:38,181
with the community for these

2380
01:33:39,485 --> 01:33:41,621
very intricate plans, that

2381
01:33:41,621 --> 01:33:44,123
affect a lot of homes. And I

2382
01:33:44,123 --> 01:33:45,858
feel like that's not a lot of

2383
01:33:45,858 --> 01:33:47,393
meetings. And especially if

2384
01:33:47,393 --> 01:33:48,995
they're not in person, I know

2385
01:33:48,995 --> 01:33:51,300
I've got family in dallas,

2386
01:33:51,300 --> 01:33:53,833
texas, and they met 15 to 20

2387
01:33:53,833 --> 01:33:55,968
times alone just to figure out

2388
01:33:55,968 --> 01:33:57,436
a plan for fencing next to a

2389
01:33:57,436 --> 01:33:59,705
neighborhood where they lived.

2390
01:33:59,705 --> 01:34:03,275
So I just wanted to say that,

2391
01:34:03,275 --> 01:34:04,944
that I feel like, until people

2392
01:34:04,944 --> 01:34:06,179
are satisfied with what's going

2393
01:34:06,179 --> 01:34:08,347
on in their neighborhood and

2394
01:34:08,347 --> 01:34:10,820
the problems are solved, it's

2395
01:34:10,820 --> 01:34:11,483
you just got to keep meeting.

2396
01:34:11,483 --> 01:34:12,952
So that's all.

2397
01:34:12,952 --> 01:34:14,952
All right. Is

2398
01:34:15,540 --> 01:34:17,590
anyone else seeking to be

2399
01:34:17,590 --> 01:34:20,590
recognized on this bill in

2400
01:34:20,860 --> 01:34:22,261
opposition? Seeing none, I will

2401
01:34:22,261 --> 01:34:24,661
declare the public hearing

2402
01:34:24,897 --> 01:34:26,966
closed. And it's back to you,

2403
01:34:26,966 --> 01:34:29,501
MISS Lee, for a motion. And you

2404
01:34:29,501 --> 01:34:30,970
can do that with both of these

2405
01:34:30,970 --> 01:34:32,380
bills as they are companions.

2406
01:34:32,380 --> 01:34:32,738
Go ahead, ma'am.

2407
01:34:32,738 --> 01:34:34,738
MADAM Chair,

2408
01:34:35,708 --> 01:34:37,900
I'd like to move to take this

2409
01:34:37,900 --> 01:34:39,645
forward, and I would like to

2410
01:34:39,645 --> 01:34:40,713
have a short, comment

2411
01:34:40,713 --> 01:34:41,747
afterwards.

2412
01:34:41,747 --> 01:34:44,147
Okay. There is a

2413
01:34:46,118 --> 01:34:48,287
motion to approve. 1406 and

2414
01:34:48,287 --> 01:34:49,655
1407 on their second of three

2415
01:34:49,655 --> 01:34:51,891
readings. Is there a second for

2416
01:34:51,891 --> 01:34:53,292
that motion. Okay. Properly

2417
01:34:53,292 --> 01:34:53,659
seconded. Go ahead, MISS Lee.

2418
01:34:53,659 --> 01:34:55,659
I

2419
01:34:55,861 --> 01:34:57,630
just want to say that we have

2420
01:34:57,630 --> 01:34:59,732
had, as you heard, we have had

2421
01:34:59,732 --> 01:35:01,660
lots of meetings on this. We

2422
01:35:01,660 --> 01:35:04,660
have even had some meetings

2423
01:35:04,336 --> 01:35:05,871
with some of the constituents

2424
01:35:05,871 --> 01:35:07,672
that live right in the area

2425
01:35:07,672 --> 01:35:09,908
trying to see what they could

2426
01:35:09,908 --> 01:35:11,976
do, what the developers could

2427
01:35:11,976 --> 01:35:13,780
do for them to help with the

2428
01:35:13,780 --> 01:35:14,913
building, to help with the

2429
01:35:14,913 --> 01:35:16,649
noise, to help with the traffic,

2430
01:35:16,649 --> 01:35:19,318
to help with a lot of things.

2431
01:35:19,318 --> 01:35:22,121
So these developers are trying

2432
01:35:22,121 --> 01:35:24,256
their best to try to satisfy

2433
01:35:24,256 --> 01:35:26,292
the community with what they

2434
01:35:26,292 --> 01:35:27,860
can. Our area, I know you've

2435
01:35:27,860 --> 01:35:30,429
heard this, and if not, I'll

2436
01:35:30,429 --> 01:35:31,830
sa it again. Our area is like

2437
01:35:31,830 --> 01:35:33,565
booming out there. It is so

2438
01:35:33,565 --> 01:35:35,767
crazy. Everybody is running out

2439
01:35:35,767 --> 01:35:37,369
there wanting to build. And

2440
01:35:37,369 --> 01:35:39,338
people own land, so things are

2441
01:35:39,338 --> 01:35:40,772
going to go up. We just want to

2442
01:35:40,772 --> 01:35:42,608
make sure that when things go

2443
01:35:42,608 --> 01:35:44,509
up that we have some say so on

2444
01:35:44,509 --> 01:35:47,313
what kind of things do go up

2445
01:35:47,313 --> 01:35:48,714
and that the quality pieces.

2446
01:35:48,714 --> 01:35:50,249
And I do feel that these are

2447
01:35:50,249 --> 01:35:52,651
quality pieces that are that

2448
01:35:52,651 --> 01:35:55,154
are going up. So I would just

2449
01:35:55,154 --> 01:35:59,191
like to say that I hope you all

2450
01:35:59,191 --> 01:35:59,491
will vote and support this.

2451
01:35:59,491 --> 01:36:01,491
all

2452
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:04,760
right. Thank you, MISS Lee.

2453
01:36:05,630 --> 01:36:08,167
There is a motion to approve on

2454
01:36:08,167 --> 01:36:09,568
second reading. Properly

2455
01:36:09,568 --> 01:36:12,568
seconded. Is there any further

2456
01:36:13,205 --> 01:36:14,573
discussion? Okay. Council

2457
01:36:14,573 --> 01:36:15,774
member cortez, you're

2458
01:36:15,774 --> 01:36:16,141
recognized, sir.

2459
01:36:16,141 --> 01:36:18,141
Thank you.

2460
01:36:18,310 --> 01:36:20,413
Vice mayor. COUNCILWOMAN Lee

2461
01:36:20,413 --> 01:36:22,315
and I, we represent very. Our

2462
01:36:22,315 --> 01:36:23,949
areas are very close. And I

2463
01:36:23,949 --> 01:36:26,119
know the difficulty of getting

2464
01:36:26,119 --> 01:36:28,520
100% coverage with a lot of

2465
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:29,955
these discussions. I've been

2466
01:36:29,955 --> 01:36:31,224
out in he community a lot

2467
01:36:31,224 --> 01:36:33,425
recently and I've had a lot of

2468
01:36:33,425 --> 01:36:34,459
people comment on these

2469
01:36:34,459 --> 01:36:36,561
projects that they just want a

2470
01:36:36,561 --> 01:36:37,829
little more time to have, more

2471
01:36:37,829 --> 01:36:39,831
of a conversation around some

2472
01:36:39,831 --> 01:36:41,300
of the safety issues. I

2473
01:36:41,300 --> 01:36:43,268
respectfully request one

2474
01:36:43,268 --> 01:36:44,304
meeting deferral, if that's

2475
01:36:44,304 --> 01:36:46,105
possible to make a motion at

2476
01:36:46,105 --> 01:36:46,405
this time to have those

2477
01:36:46,405 --> 01:36:47,305
discussions.

2478
01:36:47,305 --> 01:36:49,107
That is a proper

2479
01:36:49,107 --> 01:36:50,309
motion at this time, but it

2480
01:36:50,309 --> 01:36:53,211
must be seconded. Is there a

2481
01:36:53,211 --> 01:36:54,947
second for that motion. Okay.

2482
01:36:54,947 --> 01:36:57,450
All right. So at this juncture

2483
01:36:57,450 --> 01:37:00,352
we are on discussion of

2484
01:37:00,352 --> 01:37:03,352
deferral motion. A deferral of

2485
01:37:03,622 --> 01:37:06,458
second reading. Is there any

2486
01:37:06,458 --> 01:37:08,858
discussion on the deferral

2487
01:37:09,728 --> 01:37:11,163
motion. MISS Lee sponsor. Go

2488
01:37:11,163 --> 01:37:12,265
ahead ma'am.

2489
01:37:12,265 --> 01:37:13,365
We have had

2490
01:37:13,365 --> 01:37:15,765
conversations about this. I'm

2491
01:37:16,601 --> 01:37:18,371
not sure what deferring, will

2492
01:37:18,371 --> 01:37:21,971
do what this will bring about

2493
01:37:22,740 --> 01:37:23,441
any type of change unless the,

2494
01:37:23,441 --> 01:37:24,876
my colleague has something

2495
01:37:24,876 --> 01:37:26,211
specific in mind that he thinks

2496
01:37:26,211 --> 01:37:27,546
is going to happen. I don't

2497
01:37:27,546 --> 01:37:29,147
know what could happen. I would

2498
01:37:29,147 --> 01:37:29,881
like to speak against the

2499
01:37:29,881 --> 01:37:31,881
deferral.

2500
01:37:32,785 --> 01:37:34,785
All right. Continuing

2501
01:37:34,887 --> 01:37:37,155
with discussion on the deferral

2502
01:37:37,155 --> 01:37:38,890
motion. Next in the queue is

2503
01:37:38,890 --> 01:37:39,292
council member allen.

2504
01:37:39,292 --> 01:37:41,590
Thank you,

2505
01:37:41,590 --> 01:37:42,894
MADAM Chair. These are always

2506
01:37:42,894 --> 01:37:44,396
hard. And and what I hear from

2507
01:37:44,396 --> 01:37:45,430
the community is simply

2508
01:37:45,430 --> 01:37:47,466
concerns over traffic. And

2509
01:37:47,466 --> 01:37:49,100
these are two, two, two lane

2510
01:37:49,100 --> 01:37:50,135
roads crossing each other. If

2511
01:37:50,135 --> 01:37:52,638
the council would just be

2512
01:37:52,638 --> 01:37:54,390
willing to have one additional

2513
01:37:54,390 --> 01:37:55,540
gathering to try to talk

2514
01:37:55,540 --> 01:37:57,109
through possible mitigations on

2515
01:37:57,109 --> 01:37:58,476
traffic, I think that's what I

2516
01:37:58,476 --> 01:37:59,811
heard the neighbors asking for

2517
01:37:59,811 --> 01:38:01,546
in a deferral would give more

2518
01:38:01,546 --> 01:38:03,415
time to do that. So that's why

2519
01:38:03,415 --> 01:38:05,149
second deferral.

2520
01:38:05,149 --> 01:38:06,585
All right,

2521
01:38:06,585 --> 01:38:06,985
councilmember benedict, you're

2522
01:38:06,985 --> 01:38:07,786
recognized.

2523
01:38:07,786 --> 01:38:09,120
Thank you, vice

2524
01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:10,121
mayor.

2525
01:38:10,121 --> 01:38:11,189
Question for the

2526
01:38:11,189 --> 01:38:12,425
planning table, if you MAY

2527
01:38:12,425 --> 01:38:14,926
direct it that way. Is this

2528
01:38:14,926 --> 01:38:16,695
amendable on third reading,

2529
01:38:16,695 --> 01:38:17,796
planning, if you could respond,

2530
01:38:17,796 --> 01:38:18,964
please.

2531
01:38:18,964 --> 01:38:20,732
Yes. This is a zoning

2532
01:38:20,732 --> 01:38:21,660
bill. So those are amendable on

2533
01:38:21,660 --> 01:38:21,934
third reading.

2534
01:38:21,934 --> 01:38:23,736
Thank you. Thank

2535
01:38:23,736 --> 01:38:24,937
you, MADAM Vice mayor. I guess

2536
01:38:24,937 --> 01:38:27,139
I would ask I'd speak against

2537
01:38:27,139 --> 01:38:28,540
the deferral if an another

2538
01:38:28,540 --> 01:38:30,800
community meeting is needed. I

2539
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:32,544
think that there's ample time

2540
01:38:32,544 --> 01:38:34,790
between over the next 13 days

2541
01:38:34,790 --> 01:38:36,181
after today or the next two

2542
01:38:36,181 --> 01:38:37,849
weeks for the council member,

2543
01:38:37,849 --> 01:38:39,752
should she choose or, you know,

2544
01:38:39,752 --> 01:38:42,888
to hold that meeting. And then

2545
01:38:42,888 --> 01:38:44,222
if, something else comes to

2546
01:38:44,222 --> 01:38:45,557
light, it's amenable on third

2547
01:38:45,557 --> 01:38:47,425
reading, that would be in, you

2548
01:38:47,425 --> 01:38:48,793
know, one meeting from now. And

2549
01:38:48,793 --> 01:38:50,428
it also could be deferred at

2550
01:38:50,428 --> 01:38:51,464
that time. So I think that

2551
01:38:51,464 --> 01:38:52,731
there's ample time for the

2552
01:38:52,731 --> 01:38:55,267
council member to hold a

2553
01:38:55,267 --> 01:38:56,935
meeting. And in the meantie, I

2554
01:38:56,935 --> 01:38:57,969
don't think there's a need for

2555
01:38:57,969 --> 01:38:58,971
deferral. So I'm speaking

2556
01:38:58,971 --> 01:38:59,537
against that. Thank you.

2557
01:38:59,537 --> 01:39:00,939
All

2558
01:39:00,939 --> 01:39:02,374
right. Is there any additional

2559
01:39:02,374 --> 01:39:04,774
discussion on the deferral

2560
01:39:04,843 --> 01:39:06,512
motion? All right. We will try

2561
01:39:06,512 --> 01:39:07,980
this by voice. As I remind you.

2562
01:39:07,980 --> 01:39:11,580
I'll do it just once. This

2563
01:39:11,784 --> 01:39:14,218
meeting, it is by number, not

2564
01:39:14,218 --> 01:39:17,923
volume. So all in favor of the

2565
01:39:17,923 --> 01:39:19,358
deferral motion, please say aye.

2566
01:39:19,358 --> 01:39:20,792
Those voting against the

2567
01:39:20,792 --> 01:39:21,860
deferral please say no.

2568
01:39:21,860 --> 01:39:23,662
No.

2569
01:39:23,662 --> 01:39:25,763
Okay. The nos have it. This

2570
01:39:25,763 --> 01:39:29,340
matter is not deferred. We will

2571
01:39:29,340 --> 01:39:30,869
continue on with our, motion to

2572
01:39:30,869 --> 01:39:33,269
approve discussion. So we've

2573
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:36,207
reverted to the previous motion.

2574
01:39:36,207 --> 01:39:38,760
Is there any further discussion

2575
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:40,212
on the motion to approve on

2576
01:39:40,212 --> 01:39:42,448
second of three readings as

2577
01:39:42,448 --> 01:39:43,616
MISS Benedict shared on third

2578
01:39:43,616 --> 01:39:45,984
reading it goes to committee.

2579
01:39:45,984 --> 01:39:47,920
At that time it is amendable on

2580
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:49,221
third. And it could be deferred

2581
01:39:49,221 --> 01:39:51,390
an infinite number of times

2582
01:39:51,390 --> 01:39:52,791
because it is title 17

2583
01:39:52,791 --> 01:39:55,191
legislation. Is there any

2584
01:39:55,693 --> 01:39:58,930
further discussion? All right.

2585
01:39:58,196 --> 01:39:59,197
Seeing none. All in favor of

2586
01:39:59,197 --> 01:40:00,999
approval on second reading,

2587
01:40:00,999 --> 01:40:04,599
please say aye. Aye. Any voting?

2588
01:40:06,772 --> 01:40:10,372
No. Okay. I see 2 or 3 no's.

2589
01:40:10,409 --> 01:40:14,513
But again the ayes have it. Any

2590
01:40:14,513 --> 01:40:17,513
abstaining. Okay. All right. On

2591
01:40:19,818 --> 01:40:21,987
we go. Next. Our agenda items

2592
01:40:21,987 --> 01:40:23,550
seven and eight. Again they are

2593
01:40:23,550 --> 01:40:25,455
companions to each other.

2594
01:40:27,693 --> 01:40:29,661
Agenda item seven is

2595
01:40:29,661 --> 01:40:31,330
bl2026-1411. Sponsor lee. This

2596
01:40:31,330 --> 01:40:32,397
is an ordinance to amend title

2597
01:40:32,397 --> 01:40:33,832
17, the metro code of laws

2598
01:40:33,832 --> 01:40:35,634
zoning ordinance. The metro

2599
01:40:35,634 --> 01:40:37,735
government by changing from a r

2600
01:40:37,735 --> 01:40:41,500
to a to sp. Zoning for property

2601
01:40:41,500 --> 01:40:42,207

2602
01:40:42,207 --> 01:40:44,342
boulevard at the corner of old

2603
01:40:44,342 --> 01:40:46,812
hickory boulevard and twin oaks

2604
01:40:46,812 --> 01:40:48,947

01:40:48,947 --> 01:40:50,549
permit a mixed use development.

2606
01:40:50,549 --> 01:40:53,549
And again, agenda item eight,

2607
01:40:53,952 --> 01:40:56,288
which is ordinance 1412. A

2608
01:40:56,288 --> 01:40:57,556
companion to 1411, requires

2609
01:40:57,556 --> 01:40:58,723
that certain materials be

2610
01:40:58,723 --> 01:41:01,123
restricted in the construction

2611
01:41:02,294 --> 01:41:03,662
of buildings in bill 1411.

2612
01:41:03,662 --> 01:41:04,960
Council member lee, you're

2613
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:05,464

MADAM Chair. This

2615
01:41:09,670 --> 01:41:10,636
is item seven with eight is a

2616
01:41:10,636 --> 01:41:12,337
companion. If I MAY, I'd like

01:41:12,704 --> 01:41:13,871

Yes. I declare the

1411 and 1412. Would all

2623
01:41:22,414 --> 01:41:23,515
members of the public here in

2624
01:41:23,515 --> 01:41:26,515
support of these bills please

2625
01:41:26,751 --> 01:41:28,253
raise your hands? Okay. Would

2626
01:41:28,253 --> 01:41:30,210
all members of the public here

2627
01:41:30,210 --> 01:41:31,857
in opposition to these bills

2628
01:41:31,857 --> 01:41:34,580
please raise your hands? All

2629
01:41:34,580 --> 01:41:37,362
right. We have folks on either

2630
01:41:37,362 --> 01:41:39,762
side. Okay. Persons, speaking

2631
01:41:40,465 --> 01:41:42,234
in support do go first. And so

2632
01:41:42,234 --> 01:41:44,690
would those persons wishing to

2633
01:41:44,690 --> 01:41:46,204
be recognized and speak in

2634
01:41:46,204 --> 01:41:49,204
support. Please come forward to

2635
01:41:50,241 --> 01:41:51,877
the podium and line up. Again,

2636
01:41:51,877 --> 01:41:53,178
no more than five in front of

2637
01:41:53,178 --> 01:41:54,946
the door and five behind. So

2638
01:41:54,946 --> 01:41:57,382
you don't have to stand for too

2639
01:41:57,382 --> 01:41:59,782
long. Persons in opposition

2640
01:42:02,620 --> 01:42:03,889
will speak after those speaking support. All right. Go ahead

2641
01:42:03,889 --> 01:42:04,655
sir. You're recognized.

2642
01:42:04,655 --> 01:42:05,690
MADAM

2643
01:42:05,690 --> 01:42:07,459
PRESIDENT, members of the

2644
01:42:07,459 --> 01:42:09,610
council. My name is sean henry,

2645
01:42:09,610 --> 01:42:10,729
511th avenue north. I represent

2646
01:42:10,729 --> 01:42:12,164
the property owner and

2647
01:42:12,164 --> 01:42:13,365
developer of this of this

2648
01:42:13,365 --> 01:42:16,365
property. It's referred to as

2649
01:42:16,868 --> 01:42:19,300
the kersey property sp. This

2650
01:42:19,300 --> 01:42:20,504
this particular sp development

2651
01:42:20,504 --> 01:42:22,207
was approved by the planning

2652
01:42:22,207 --> 01:42:24,800
commission after twice

2653
01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:26,645
deferring it to make design

2654
01:42:26,645 --> 01:42:27,979
changes and incorporate design

2655
01:42:27,979 --> 01:42:29,481
elements that that that were

2656
01:42:29,481 --> 01:42:30,882
raised before the planning

2657
01:42:30,882 --> 01:42:32,882
commission, the community

2658
01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:34,152
center policy in this area

2659
01:42:34,152 --> 01:42:35,921
supports this sp and the

2660
01:42:35,921 --> 01:42:38,390
planning commission found it as

2661
01:42:38,390 --> 01:42:39,957
much. This will add 46 new

2662
01:42:39,957 --> 01:42:42,260
homes to our inventory, which

2663
01:42:42,260 --> 01:42:43,828
we desperately need. 30% of

2664
01:42:43,828 --> 01:42:45,263
this site is going to be open

2665
01:42:45,263 --> 01:42:47,131
space. There's been numerous

2666
01:42:47,131 --> 01:42:48,533
meetings with neighbors and

2667
01:42:48,533 --> 01:42:50,335
concerns listened to and

2668
01:42:50,335 --> 01:42:52,335
incorporated, largely reflected

2669
01:42:52,504 --> 01:42:54,105
in the specific plan drawing

2670
01:42:54,105 --> 01:42:55,707
that is part of the bill, as

2671
01:42:55,707 --> 01:42:58,576
well as 17 conditions that are

2672
01:42:58,576 --> 01:42:59,644
baked into this legislation.

2673
01:42:59,644 --> 01:43:01,113
Additionally, this item was

2674
01:43:01,113 --> 01:43:02,981
deferred from this body at the

2675
01:43:02,981 --> 01:43:04,150
last public hearing so that we

2676
01:43:04,150 --> 01:43:07,150
could have a community meeting

2677
01:43:07,180 --> 01:43:09,530
on JUNE 22nd. That was JUNE

2678
01:43:09,530 --> 01:43:10,722
23rd that was held. And the

2679
01:43:10,722 --> 01:43:11,723
result of that is there's three

2680
01:43:11,723 --> 01:43:14,123
additional conditions that our

2681
01:43:14,493 --> 01:43:16,594
client agrees to propose, to

2682
01:43:16,594 --> 01:43:17,997
propose and and amend into this

2683
01:43:17,997 --> 01:43:20,165
bill on third reading here in

2684
01:43:20,165 --> 01:43:21,600
two weeks. I understand you

2685
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:23,802
should have some letters of

2686
01:43:23,802 --> 01:43:25,504
support on your desk for this

2687
01:43:25,504 --> 01:43:27,406
project. We're asking for your

2688
01:43:27,406 --> 01:43:29,508
support of it. We ask you to

2689
01:43:29,508 --> 01:43:31,760
please vote in favor of it. My

2690
01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:32,410
understanding from most of what

2691
01:43:32,410 --> 01:43:33,579
you're about to hear, in terms

2692
01:43:33,579 --> 01:43:35,280
of folks who are concerned

2693
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:37,816
about this, largely what we

2694
01:43:37,816 --> 01:43:40,318
have heard largely focuses on

2695
01:43:40,318 --> 01:43:41,820
indot standards for roadway

2696
01:43:41,820 --> 01:43:43,820
specifications and the

2697
01:43:43,956 --> 01:43:45,691
particular, orientation of

2698
01:43:45,691 --> 01:43:47,192
homes in the corner of this

2699
01:43:47,192 --> 01:43:48,761
intersection, which we're happy

2700
01:43:48,761 --> 01:43:50,950
to work with them going into

2701
01:43:50,950 --> 01:43:51,530
the final sp when it's

2702
01:43:51,530 --> 01:43:53,332
submitted to the planning

2703
01:43:53,332 --> 01:43:55,340
commission. In terms of indot,

2704
01:43:55,340 --> 01:43:56,601
our developer client is pretty

2705
01:43:56,601 --> 01:43:58,304
much stuck in that respect,

2706
01:43:58,304 --> 01:44:00,106
happen to happen. Happy to

2707
01:44:00,106 --> 01:44:01,239
soften up that that

2708
01:44:01,239 --> 01:44:03,342
infrastructure, if in doubt,

2709
01:44:03,342 --> 01:44:05,611
would permit that on final. Sp

2710
01:44:05,611 --> 01:44:05,745
so thank you very much.

2711
01:44:05,745 --> 01:44:06,312
Thank

2712
01:44:06,312 --> 01:44:08,140
you.

2713
01:44:08,140 --> 01:44:09,448
Okay. Supporting speakers

2714
01:44:09,448 --> 01:44:11,848
continue. Go ahead, come

2715
01:44:12,418 --> 01:44:13,452
forward.

2716
01:44:13,452 --> 01:44:14,554
Good evening. And

2717
01:44:14,554 --> 01:44:16,455
members of the council. My name

2718
01:44:16,455 --> 01:44:18,191
is amy pearl and I am a

2719
01:44:18,191 --> 01:44:19,992
homeowner in the district. I am

2720
01:44:19,992 --> 01:44:22,127
here tonight to support the

2721
01:44:22,127 --> 01:44:23,196
kersey property. Sp as a

2722
01:44:23,196 --> 01:44:24,297
resident, I think it's

2723
01:44:24,297 --> 01:44:26,697
important that decisions about

2724
01:44:26,766 --> 01:44:28,601
the future of our community

2725
01:44:28,601 --> 01:44:30,703
reflects the many voices that

2726
01:44:30,703 --> 01:44:31,770
make up this district. I

2727
01:44:31,770 --> 01:44:33,339
understand that those living

2728
01:44:33,339 --> 01:44:35,441
closest to the development MAY

2729
01:44:35,441 --> 01:44:37,243
have concerns, and those

2730
01:44:37,243 --> 01:44:38,611
concerns deserve to be heard,

2731
01:44:38,611 --> 01:44:40,579
but they are not the only

2732
01:44:40,579 --> 01:44:42,548
voices in our community. There

2733
01:44:42,548 --> 01:44:44,384
are many of us who support

2734
01:44:44,384 --> 01:44:46,853
thoughtful growth and want to

2735
01:44:46,853 --> 01:44:49,422
see continued investment in the

2736
01:44:49,422 --> 01:44:51,224
area. We want quality housing,

2737
01:44:51,224 --> 01:44:53,624
attractive commercial space for

2738
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:55,595
local businesses, better

2739
01:44:55,595 --> 01:44:57,397
sidewalks and connectivity

2740
01:44:57,397 --> 01:44:59,499
places where our families can

2741
01:44:59,499 --> 01:45:02,340
walk to restaurants, shops and

2742
01:45:02,340 --> 01:45:03,536
other neighborhood amenities. I

2743
01:45:03,536 --> 01:45:06,500
believe this proposal moves us

2744
01:45:06,500 --> 01:45:07,541
in that direction. The

2745
01:45:07,541 --> 01:45:09,643
community has been heard and

2746
01:45:09,643 --> 01:45:11,440
the plan has changed

2747
01:45:11,440 --> 01:45:13,444
significantly because of those

2748
01:45:13,614 --> 01:45:16,116
inputs and people's voices. But

2749
01:45:16,116 --> 01:45:17,500
community engagement also means

2750
01:45:17,500 --> 01:45:18,385
recognizing that there are

2751
01:45:18,385 --> 01:45:19,719
different perspectives about

2752
01:45:19,719 --> 01:45:22,550
what the future of our district

2753
01:45:22,550 --> 01:45:24,391
should look like. I believe

2754
01:45:24,391 --> 01:45:26,600
this is responsible growth that

2755
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:27,594
will strengthen our community,

2756
01:45:27,594 --> 01:45:29,429
and I respectfully ask the

2757
01:45:29,429 --> 01:45:31,899
council to support it. Thank

2758
01:45:31,899 --> 01:45:33,433
you.

2759
01:45:33,433 --> 01:45:36,433
Next. Go ahead. Come on.

2760
01:45:38,472 --> 01:45:40,240
Forward. You're recognized.

2761
01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:42,710
Good evening. My name is kim

2762
01:45:42,710 --> 01:45:44,544
smith and I am here tonight in

2763
01:45:44,544 --> 01:45:46,680
support of the kersey project

2764
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:48,482
property project. I lived in

2765
01:45:48,482 --> 01:45:49,650
this community for a long time,

2766
01:45:49,650 --> 01:45:51,180
and one of the things that

2767
01:45:51,180 --> 01:45:52,553
matters to me when talking

2768
01:45:52,553 --> 01:45:54,988
about development is whether we%

2769
01:45:54,988 --> 01:45:57,224
can trust the people behind it.

2770
01:45:57,224 --> 01:45:58,959
In this case, I believe we can.

2771
01:45:58,959 --> 01:46:00,361
This developer has a long

2772
01:46:00,361 --> 01:46:02,329
history in our community, and

2773
01:46:02,329 --> 01:46:04,932
more importantly, he has shown

2774
01:46:04,932 --> 01:46:06,166
that his word means something.

2775
01:46:06,166 --> 01:46:07,901
On a previous project, he

2776
01:46:07,901 --> 01:46:09,360
committed to helping pay for a

2777
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:11,436
traffic signal that the

2778
01:46:11,538 --> 01:46:13,373
community needed, which we did,

2779
01:46:13,373 --> 01:46:14,942
when other contractors involved

2780
01:46:14,942 --> 01:46:16,943
backed out, he didn't. He still

2781
01:46:16,943 --> 01:46:18,450
paid for it. That says a lot

2782
01:46:18,450 --> 01:46:20,615
about this builder. He stood

2783
01:46:20,615 --> 01:46:22,383
behind his commitment. We all

2784
01:46:22,383 --> 01:46:24,552
know that development is going

2785
01:46:24,552 --> 01:46:26,286
to happen. What matters is that

2786
01:46:26,286 --> 01:46:27,454
it's done thoughtfully by

2787
01:46:27,454 --> 01:46:28,889
people who listen to the

2788
01:46:28,889 --> 01:46:31,590
community and follow through on

2789
01:46:31,590 --> 01:46:33,560
what they say. I myself have

2790
01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:35,129
been to pretty much all of the

2791
01:46:35,129 --> 01:46:36,698
meetings for over a year now,

2792
01:46:36,698 --> 01:46:37,965
and at this point, we just have

2793
01:46:37,965 --> 01:46:39,700
to make a decision. We cannot

2794
01:46:39,700 --> 01:46:40,768
continue to delay. Delay. This

2795
01:46:40,768 --> 01:46:42,537
gentleman has given us

2796
01:46:42,537 --> 01:46:44,239
everything we've asked for, and

2797
01:46:44,239 --> 01:46:45,806
now at this point, we just

2798
01:46:45,806 --> 01:46:47,800
picking and picking. This

2799
01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:48,676
gentleman is a local builder.

2800
01:46:48,676 --> 01:46:50,411
We need to support our local

2801
01:46:50,411 --> 01:46:52,613
builders and he is for the

2802
01:46:52,613 --> 01:46:53,748
community. So I say and I ask,

2803
01:46:53,748 --> 01:46:55,149
please, let's move forward and

2804
01:46:55,149 --> 01:46:56,484
I ask for your vote. I'm in

2805
01:46:56,484 --> 01:46:57,180
full support. Thank you.

2806
01:46:57,180 --> 01:46:58,386
Thank

2807
01:46:58,386 --> 01:47:00,488
you. Go ahead and come on

2808
01:47:00,488 --> 01:47:01,989
forward. Please be conscious of

2809
01:47:01,989 --> 01:47:04,459
not blocking the door. Thank

2810
01:47:04,459 --> 01:47:05,927
you.

2811
01:47:05,927 --> 01:47:07,280
Good evening. My name is

2812
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:08,896
latonya martin, and I've raised

2813
01:47:08,896 --> 01:47:10,298
my family in this neighborhood,

2814
01:47:10,298 --> 01:47:12,733
and I am in support of the

2815
01:47:12,733 --> 01:47:14,169
kersey property. Sp the

2816
01:47:14,169 --> 01:47:15,405
community means a great deal to

2817
01:47:15,405 --> 01:47:17,172
me, and I've watched it grow

2818
01:47:17,172 --> 01:47:18,507
and change over the years. And

2819
01:47:18,507 --> 01:47:19,975
I appreciate this proposal

2820
01:47:19,975 --> 01:47:21,900
because it's just not about

2821
01:47:21,900 --> 01:47:22,911
growth, but it's very

2822
01:47:22,911 --> 01:47:24,379
thoughtful growth. And the

2823
01:47:24,379 --> 01:47:27,115
community continue to grow and

2824
01:47:27,115 --> 01:47:28,116
be vibrant. And I want to see a

2825
01:47:28,116 --> 01:47:29,751
quality development that brings

2826
01:47:29,751 --> 01:47:30,818
attractive homes, local

2827
01:47:30,818 --> 01:47:31,853
businesses and places where

2828
01:47:31,853 --> 01:47:33,755
families can live, shop and

2829
01:47:33,755 --> 01:47:34,823
gather. And I want to see an

2830
01:47:34,823 --> 01:47:35,858
investment that strengthens our

2831
01:47:35,858 --> 01:47:36,925
community and creates

2832
01:47:36,925 --> 01:47:39,270
opportunity and enhances our

2833
01:47:39,270 --> 01:47:41,230
quality f life. So as a local

2834
01:47:41,230 --> 01:47:42,364
real estate broker who's

2835
01:47:42,364 --> 01:47:43,832
continued to call this

2836
01:47:43,832 --> 01:47:44,966
community home, I believe that

2837
01:47:44,966 --> 01:47:45,868
the thoughtful plan development

2838
01:47:45,868 --> 01:47:48,868
has the potential to enhance

2839
01:47:48,870 --> 01:47:51,640
our community. And I'm in long

2840
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:54,509
term support, of course, of, of

2841
01:47:54,509 --> 01:47:56,344
this, upcoming subdivision and

2842
01:47:56,344 --> 01:47:57,112
believe it represents kind of

2843
01:47:57,112 --> 01:47:58,280
responsible growth that

2844
01:47:58,280 --> 01:47:59,781
benefits both current residents

2845
01:47:59,781 --> 01:48:01,383
and future generations. So I

2846
01:48:01,383 --> 01:48:02,840
ask for your support.

2847
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:03,552
Thank you.

2848
01:48:03,552 --> 01:48:07,152
Go ahead and come on forward,

2849
01:48:09,257 --> 01:48:10,392
please.

2850
01:48:10,392 --> 01:48:12,792
Good evening, member of

2851
01:48:13,295 --> 01:48:15,931
the council. My name is kambiz

2852
01:48:15,931 --> 01:48:17,966
heydari. I'm both a resident

2853
01:48:17,966 --> 01:48:20,469
and a business owner in the

2854
01:48:20,469 --> 01:48:22,937
community, and I'm here tonight

2855
01:48:22,937 --> 01:48:25,937
to support the casey property

2856
01:48:27,243 --> 01:48:29,445
sp as both a resident with a

2857
01:48:29,445 --> 01:48:32,281
growing family and someone who

2858
01:48:32,281 --> 01:48:34,483
does business here, I care not

2859
01:48:34,483 --> 01:48:36,986
only about what gets built in

2860
01:48:36,986 --> 01:48:39,888
our community, but also about

2861
01:48:39,888 --> 01:48:42,391
who is building it. The

2862
01:48:42,391 --> 01:48:44,791
developer behind this proposal

2863
01:48:46,362 --> 01:48:48,130
is local and has been building

2864
01:48:48,130 --> 01:48:51,130
in and around this community

2865
01:48:52,568 --> 01:48:55,568
for more than 40 years. He

2866
01:48:55,672 --> 01:48:57,672
invested here, built

2867
01:48:57,874 --> 01:48:59,874
relationship here and

2868
01:49:00,310 --> 01:49:02,710
established a reputation for

2869
01:49:02,879 --> 01:49:05,279
doing quality work and

2870
01:49:05,482 --> 01:49:07,882
following through on his

2871
01:49:08,618 --> 01:49:11,521
commitments. That matters to me.

2872
01:49:11,521 --> 01:49:15,121
This isn't an out of town

2873
01:49:15,525 --> 01:49:17,925
developer coming into our

2874
01:49:18,610 --> 01:49:20,363
district with no connection to

2875
01:49:20,363 --> 01:49:22,763
what happens after construction

2876
01:49:24,867 --> 01:49:27,838
is complete. This is someone

2877
01:49:27,838 --> 01:49:31,438
with a long standing stake in

2878
01:49:32,142 --> 01:49:34,911
the community and its track

2879
01:49:34,911 --> 01:49:37,311
record. We can actually

2880
01:49:38,214 --> 01:49:40,614
evaluate the plan itself,

2881
01:49:41,752 --> 01:49:44,687
reflect that same commitment to

2882
01:49:44,687 --> 01:49:47,870
quality with significant open

2883
01:49:49,325 --> 01:49:51,325
space, improved walkability,

2884
01:49:51,929 --> 01:49:53,929
neighborhood serving commercial

2885
01:49:56,199 --> 01:49:58,702
space, and a design intended to

2886
01:49:58,702 --> 01:50:01,971
enhance this area for a long

2887
01:50:01,971 --> 01:50:04,508
term. I believe we should

2888
01:50:04,508 --> 01:50:06,508
encourage responsible,

2889
01:50:08,478 --> 01:50:10,478
responsible investment from

2890
01:50:10,981 --> 01:50:13,183
people who know this community,

2891
01:50:13,183 --> 01:50:14,484
care about the finished. I'm

2892
01:50:14,484 --> 01:50:16,484
sorry.

2893
01:50:18,155 --> 01:50:21,155
So. Sir. Thank you. Go

2894
01:50:22,125 --> 01:50:23,593
ahead and come forward, sir.

2895
01:50:23,593 --> 01:50:25,993
You're next and you're

2896
01:50:26,430 --> 01:50:26,763
recognized. Go ahead.

2897
01:50:26,763 --> 01:50:28,198
Good

2898
01:50:28,198 --> 01:50:30,400
evening. My name is richard

2899
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:32,903
herring and I'm a homeowner in

2900
01:50:32,903 --> 01:50:34,338
the cambridge OCTOBER wood

2901
01:50:34,338 --> 01:50:36,874
subdivision, and I lived in

2902
01:50:36,874 --> 01:50:39,274
this community for over 25

2903
01:50:39,743 --> 01:50:42,579
years. And I'm here tonight in

2904
01:50:42,579 --> 01:50:44,414
support of the kersey property.

2905
01:50:44,414 --> 01:50:46,617
Now, for over 25 years, I've

2906
01:50:46,617 --> 01:50:49,860
watched this area grow and

2907
01:50:49,860 --> 01:50:51,321
change considerably. But with

2908
01:50:51,321 --> 01:50:53,825
that growth comes an important

2909
01:50:53,825 --> 01:50:56,393
question about the kind of

2910
01:50:56,393 --> 01:50:59,393
development we want to support

2911
01:51:00,331 --> 01:51:02,800
in our community. In my opinion,

2912
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:05,269
this is one of the best plans

2913
01:51:05,269 --> 01:51:08,172
I've seen proposed for this

2914
01:51:08,172 --> 01:51:09,674
area. And after hearing some of

2915
01:51:09,674 --> 01:51:12,210
the problems on the cambridge

2916
01:51:12,210 --> 01:51:13,912
area with n dot and t dot

2917
01:51:13,912 --> 01:51:15,446
problems, this problem, this

2918
01:51:15,446 --> 01:51:17,548
property answers all of that by

2919
01:51:17,548 --> 01:51:19,717
widening old hickory boulevard,

2920
01:51:19,717 --> 01:51:22,521
but it brings together quality

2921
01:51:22,521 --> 01:51:24,521
and residential development,

2922
01:51:25,823 --> 01:51:27,558
meaningful open space, improved

2923
01:51:27,558 --> 01:51:29,558
walkability, commercial space

2924
01:51:29,761 --> 01:51:32,263
that can bring local businesses

2925
01:51:32,263 --> 01:51:35,263
and amenities close to the

2926
01:51:35,900 --> 01:51:37,702
people who live here. I also

2927
01:51:37,702 --> 01:51:40,102
appreciate that isn't simply

2928
01:51:40,271 --> 01:51:42,473
about adding more housing, but

2929
01:51:42,473 --> 01:51:45,243
there is more thought being put

2930
01:51:45,243 --> 01:51:46,377
into this development, how the

2931
01:51:46,377 --> 01:51:48,146
development looks, how it

2932
01:51:48,146 --> 01:51:50,281
interacts with the surrounding

2933
01:51:50,281 --> 01:51:52,451
community and what it can

2934
01:51:52,451 --> 01:51:54,152
contribute to the area over the

2935
01:51:54,152 --> 01:51:56,860
long, long term. And what we

2936
01:51:56,860 --> 01:51:57,422
look for is increased property

2937
01:51:57,422 --> 01:51:59,391
values. This development will

2938
01:51:59,391 --> 01:52:02,594
do that. And after living here

2939
01:52:02,594 --> 01:52:04,862
for more than two decades, I

2940
01:52:04,862 --> 01:52:07,566
care deeply about the direction

2941
01:52:07,566 --> 01:52:09,368
our community is headed. I

2942
01:52:09,368 --> 01:52:11,368
believe thoughtful, high

2943
01:52:11,536 --> 01:52:13,705
quality developments like this

2944
01:52:13,705 --> 01:52:15,140
can be an asset to our

2945
01:52:15,140 --> 01:52:17,140
community and district,

2946
01:52:17,275 --> 01:52:19,545
something that even the council

2947
01:52:19,545 --> 01:52:22,747
would be proud of. I support

2948
01:52:22,747 --> 01:52:24,850
the kersey property. I

2949
01:52:24,850 --> 01:52:26,251
respectfully ask the council to

2950
01:52:26,251 --> 01:52:27,152
support it as well.

2951
01:52:27,152 --> 01:52:28,860
thank you,

2952
01:52:28,860 --> 01:52:29,121
thank you.

2953
01:52:29,121 --> 01:52:31,521
Go ahead and come

2954
01:52:33,925 --> 01:52:35,925
forward. You're recognized.

2955
01:52:36,461 --> 01:52:37,563
Good evening. My name is abby

2956
01:52:37,563 --> 01:52:38,830
spielman, and I'm here

2957
01:52:38,830 --> 01:52:40,899
representing the developer for

2958
01:52:40,899 --> 01:52:42,901
the kersey property. First, I

2959
01:52:42,901 --> 01:52:44,269
want to thank council, lady lee,

2960
01:52:44,269 --> 01:52:45,304
the planning committee and the

2961
01:52:45,304 --> 01:52:46,639
neighbors who have spent

2962
01:52:46,639 --> 01:52:48,273
considerable time meeting with

2963
01:52:48,273 --> 01:52:49,775
us throughout this entire

2964
01:52:49,775 --> 01:52:50,809
process. From the beginning,

2965
01:52:50,809 --> 01:52:52,577
we've tried to listen and

2966
01:52:52,577 --> 01:52:53,779
respond in good faith. The plan

2967
01:52:53,779 --> 01:52:55,847
before you tonight reflects

2968
01:52:55,847 --> 01:52:57,283
that work. We significantly

2969
01:52:57,283 --> 01:52:58,750
reduced the density, increased

2970
01:52:58,750 --> 01:53:00,486
open space, improve the

2971
01:53:00,486 --> 01:53:01,988
streetscape and walkability,

2972
01:53:01,988 --> 01:53:03,155
address access and buffering

2973
01:53:03,155 --> 01:53:04,456
concerns, and committed to

2974
01:53:04,456 --> 01:53:05,958
developing the commercial

2975
01:53:05,958 --> 01:53:07,958
component alongside the

2976
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:09,462
residential portion. We've also

2977
01:53:09,462 --> 01:53:11,300
continued meeting with all

2978
01:53:11,300 --> 01:53:12,398
neighbors up until this week

2979
01:53:12,398 --> 01:53:14,167
and agreed to additional

2980
01:53:14,167 --> 01:53:16,200
specific protections along the

2981
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:17,870
property line. For what it's

2982
01:53:17,870 --> 01:53:19,572
worth, I've heard it's been

2983
01:53:19,572 --> 01:53:21,441
said already tonight that this

2984
01:53:21,441 --> 01:53:23,175
developer here, he's local, and

2985
01:53:23,175 --> 01:53:24,911
I only say this again because

2986
01:53:24,911 --> 01:53:26,779
we know that this relationship

2987
01:53:26,779 --> 01:53:28,140
doesn't end here tonight, but

2988
01:53:28,140 --> 01:53:30,490
continues all along through the

2989
01:53:30,490 --> 01:53:31,184
completion of this project. We

2990
01:53:31,184 --> 01:53:33,286
believe that what's before you

2991
01:53:33,286 --> 01:53:34,720
tonight is a strong is strong.

2992
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:37,890
We've worked hard to get it

2993
01:53:37,890 --> 01:53:38,991
right. We're proud of. The plan approved

2994
01:53:38,991 --> 01:53:40,930
through planning, and we

2995
01:53:40,930 --> 01:53:41,594
respectfully ask for your

2996
01:53:41,594 --> 01:53:41,894
support tonight. Thank

2997
01:53:41,894 --> 01:53:43,894
all

2998
01:53:44,130 --> 01:53:46,565
right. Thank you. Is anyone

2999
01:53:46,565 --> 01:53:49,565
else seeking to be recognized

3000
01:53:52,500 --> 01:53:54,907
to speak in support? Okay.

3001
01:53:54,907 --> 01:53:57,344
seeing none with those persons

3002
01:53:57,344 --> 01:53:59,111
wishing to speak in opposition,

3003
01:53:59,111 --> 01:54:02,111
please come forward at this

3004
01:54:04,317 --> 01:54:05,718
time. And line up behind the

3005
01:54:05,718 --> 01:54:07,654
podium. You don't have to wait

3006
01:54:07,654 --> 01:54:08,822
there at the edge of the wall.

3007
01:54:08,822 --> 01:54:10,791
You can go ahead and come on

3008
01:54:10,791 --> 01:54:11,758
forward a little bit and spread

3009
01:54:11,758 --> 01:54:14,270
yourselves out and make sure

3010
01:54:14,270 --> 01:54:15,762
not to block the door. Go ahead,

3011
01:54:15,762 --> 01:54:18,162
MISS Chick. You're recognized.

3012
01:54:18,265 --> 01:54:20,100
Thank you. Cambridge road. I

3013
01:54:20,100 --> 01:54:21,501
like fred, the developer. It

3014
01:54:21,501 --> 01:54:23,337
has nothing to do with his

3015
01:54:23,337 --> 01:54:26,540
build quality. And I agree with

3016
01:54:26,540 --> 01:54:28,442
amy pearl. Actually, I agree everybody that spoke in

3017
01:54:28,442 --> 01:54:31,178
favor of this. Even the

3018
01:54:31,178 --> 01:54:33,800
employees. We also want good,

3019
01:54:33,800 --> 01:54:34,881
thoughtful development

3020
01:54:34,881 --> 01:54:35,982
regarding the traffic light. We

3021
01:54:35,982 --> 01:54:37,884
just got to dismiss that

3022
01:54:37,884 --> 01:54:39,152
because he had to pay for that

3023
01:54:39,152 --> 01:54:41,288
as part of the evergreen hills

3024
01:54:41,288 --> 01:54:43,156
moving forwards anyway. But the

3025
01:54:43,156 --> 01:54:44,525
bottom line is we have safety

3026
01:54:44,525 --> 01:54:47,600
concerns and you have the power.

3027
01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:49,460
Only you. This proposal

3028
01:54:49,696 --> 01:54:52,960
includes deeply flawed roadway

3029
01:54:52,165 --> 01:54:54,301
changes that will place 23

3030
01:54:54,301 --> 01:54:56,200
specific families in greater

3031
01:54:56,200 --> 01:54:57,504
harm. We have reached out to

3032
01:54:57,504 --> 01:54:59,173
mndot. I said it before. We've

3033
01:54:59,173 --> 01:55:00,474
reached out to our council

3034
01:55:00,474 --> 01:55:03,440
member about these concerns. We

3035
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:05,112
need a corridor plan. We are

3036
01:55:05,112 --> 01:55:07,715
not being heard. The developer

3037
01:55:07,715 --> 01:55:08,983
is, of course, meeting safety

3038
01:55:08,983 --> 01:55:10,484
required standards. So does

3039
01:55:10,484 --> 01:55:11,885
everyone else. I sent you a

3040
01:55:11,885 --> 01:55:13,521
picture. I hope you looked at

3041
01:55:13,521 --> 01:55:15,921
it showing that tonight's

3042
01:55:16,257 --> 01:55:18,426
development is one of 13 in a

3043
01:55:18,426 --> 01:55:19,794
half mile stretch, 13 mostly

3044
01:55:19,794 --> 01:55:21,329
commercial businesses on a

3045
01:55:21,329 --> 01:55:22,730
stretch of roadway carrying

3046
01:55:22,730 --> 01:55:24,298
traffic between williamson

3047
01:55:24,298 --> 01:55:26,000
county and wilson county. It's

3048
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:28,400
goingto cause hundreds of

3049
01:55:28,502 --> 01:55:29,904
additional turns on to and from

3050
01:55:29,904 --> 01:55:31,305
old hickory boulevard. At the

3051
01:55:31,305 --> 01:55:33,474
point where this traffic is

3052
01:55:33,474 --> 01:55:35,743
moving the fastest. Residents

3053
01:55:35,743 --> 01:55:38,246
who live on twin oaks lane will

3054
01:55:38,246 --> 01:55:40,810
have to cross four traffic

3055
01:55:40,810 --> 01:55:41,616
lanes to make a left turn and

3056
01:55:41,616 --> 01:55:43,618
then a fifth lane. If you count

3057
01:55:43,618 --> 01:55:44,752
the turn in lane, a turning

3058
01:55:44,752 --> 01:55:46,420
lane is going to take the

3059
01:55:46,420 --> 01:55:48,623
slower traffic that might have

3060
01:55:48,623 --> 01:55:50,324
slowed the other two lanes down

3061
01:55:50,324 --> 01:55:51,525
off of burkett road, so the

3062
01:55:51,525 --> 01:55:53,727
only thing left is going to be

3063
01:55:53,727 --> 01:55:55,430
the fast traffic. Busses are

3064
01:55:55,430 --> 01:55:57,999
going to have to stop on old

3065
01:55:57,999 --> 01:55:59,400
hickory boulevard or on burkett,

3066
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:00,936
because they can't pull into a

3067
01:56:00,936 --> 01:56:03,371
dead end road. You're not going

3068
01:56:03,371 --> 01:56:05,106
to find that kind of a planned

3069
01:56:05,106 --> 01:56:06,641
disaster anywhere else on four

3070
01:56:06,641 --> 01:56:08,760
lane roads in davidson county

3071
01:56:08,760 --> 01:56:10,244
except the really, really

3072
01:56:10,244 --> 01:56:12,380
decades old ones. Old ones

3073
01:56:12,380 --> 01:56:14,415
where we didn't plan for the

3074
01:56:14,415 --> 01:56:16,685
future. So I go back to we need

3075
01:56:16,685 --> 01:56:18,820
to plan better for the future.

3076
01:56:18,820 --> 01:56:21,389
Residents have many. Thank you.

3077
01:56:21,389 --> 01:56:23,892
Thank you, MISS Jake. Go ahead

3078
01:56:23,892 --> 01:56:24,759
sir, you're recognized.

3079
01:56:24,759 --> 01:56:26,194
Hello,

3080
01:56:26,194 --> 01:56:28,129
I'm steve daly. My family lives

3081
01:56:28,129 --> 01:56:29,197
on twin oaks lane. I'm here to

3082
01:56:29,197 --> 01:56:30,432
express my opposition to the

3083
01:56:30,432 --> 01:56:32,701
bill for the rezoning of the

3084
01:56:32,701 --> 01:56:33,902
property. Our concerns are

3085
01:56:33,902 --> 01:56:35,770
several. One of the biggest is

3086
01:56:35,770 --> 01:56:37,472
traffic is covered. Ingress and

3087
01:56:37,472 --> 01:56:39,808
egress out of the neighborhood

3088
01:56:39,808 --> 01:56:41,543
is challenging. And the

3089
01:56:41,543 --> 01:56:42,978
proposed changes that were made

3090
01:56:42,978 --> 01:56:44,512
by the traffic plan are really

3091
01:56:44,512 --> 01:56:46,314
nothing more. At best, a

3092
01:56:46,314 --> 01:56:47,749
band-aid. In some ways it will

3093
01:56:47,749 --> 01:56:48,784
actually compound some of the

3094
01:56:48,784 --> 01:56:51,184
problems. And that's what

3095
01:56:51,486 --> 01:56:52,354
tawanna cited. We also realize,

3096
01:56:52,354 --> 01:56:53,922
though, that one developer

3097
01:56:53,922 --> 01:56:55,290
can't fix this situation,and

3098
01:56:55,290 --> 01:56:56,658
we're not asking for that. In

3099
01:56:56,658 --> 01:56:57,726
this light, the twin oaks

3100
01:56:57,726 --> 01:56:59,227
neighborhood wants an

3101
01:56:59,227 --> 01:57:00,963
opportunity to work alongside

3102
01:57:00,963 --> 01:57:02,430
the developer to petition t dot

3103
01:57:02,430 --> 01:57:04,566
in dot and other stakeholders

3104
01:57:04,566 --> 01:57:05,800
for a comprehensive plan. Not

3105
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:07,360
only that not only addresses

3106
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:08,570
current concerns, but looks to

3107
01:57:08,570 --> 01:57:10,706
the future as our corner of the

3108
01:57:10,706 --> 01:57:12,574
county continues to grow. Such

3109
01:57:12,574 --> 01:57:14,376
a plan can set up the success

3110
01:57:14,376 --> 01:57:15,745
of future developments, while

3111
01:57:15,745 --> 01:57:16,879
also ensuring that the current

3112
01:57:16,879 --> 01:57:18,514
developer's contribution is

3113
01:57:18,514 --> 01:57:19,715
money well spent as part of a

3114
01:57:19,715 --> 01:57:21,350
coordinated strategy, and not

3115
01:57:21,350 --> 01:57:23,385
an ad hoc solution that will

3116
01:57:23,385 --> 01:57:24,420
have to be reworked

3117
01:57:24,420 --> 01:57:26,289
respectfully. Ask that the

3118
01:57:26,289 --> 01:57:27,957
council reject this bill or at

3119
01:57:27,957 --> 01:57:29,392
a minimum, vote to defer.

3120
01:57:29,392 --> 01:57:30,226
Please give our community the

3121
01:57:30,226 --> 01:57:31,293
opportunity to come to a

3122
01:57:31,293 --> 01:57:32,494
solution that promotes

3123
01:57:32,494 --> 01:57:34,463
responsible development that we

3124
01:57:34,463 --> 01:57:35,831
can all support. Thank you.

3125
01:57:35,831 --> 01:57:38,831
Thank you. Go ahead. Ma'am,

3126
01:57:39,101 --> 01:57:39,936
your recognized.

3127
01:57:39,936 --> 01:57:41,936
Hello, I'm

3128
01:57:42,710 --> 01:57:45,274
teresa hartley. I live on twin

3129
01:57:45,274 --> 01:57:46,675
oaks. First I want to say you

3130
01:57:46,675 --> 01:57:48,177
all heard how much development

3131
01:57:48,177 --> 01:57:50,312
is in cambridge. They've

3132
01:57:50,312 --> 01:57:51,781
already postponed some of these,

3133
01:57:51,781 --> 01:57:53,582
but I'll just read what I wrote

3134
01:57:53,582 --> 01:57:56,510
and it was just off the cuff.

3135
01:57:56,510 --> 01:57:57,720
What I was concerned about.

3136
01:57:57,720 --> 01:57:59,550
First, I'm very disappointed

3137
01:57:59,550 --> 01:58:00,623
that planning commission,

3138
01:58:00,623 --> 01:58:02,592
we've had numerous meetings

3139
01:58:02,592 --> 01:58:04,727
with them about our concerns

3140
01:58:04,727 --> 01:58:06,595
about keeping cambridge rural.

3141
01:58:06,595 --> 01:58:09,398
We are rural. We don't even

3142
01:58:09,398 --> 01:58:10,799
have trash pickup. Most of the

3143
01:58:10,799 --> 01:58:12,434
approximately 20 families on

3144
01:58:12,434 --> 01:58:15,434
our street have been there 30

3145
01:58:16,206 --> 01:58:18,700
plus years. I feel like our

3146
01:58:18,700 --> 01:58:19,909
area should be zoned to two

3147
01:58:19,909 --> 01:58:21,244
real rural maintenance. And we

3148
01:58:21,244 --> 01:58:24,244
hope that they will consider

3149
01:58:24,614 --> 01:58:25,949
that soon. Second,

3150
01:58:25,949 --> 01:58:28,349
transitioning. How are you

3151
01:58:29,152 --> 01:58:31,354
transitioning from 5 to 10 acre

3152
01:58:31,354 --> 01:58:33,957
lots with some of our million

3153
01:58:33,957 --> 01:58:37,557
dollar houses to a single five

3154
01:58:38,161 --> 01:58:39,596
acres and putting 463 story

3155
01:58:39,596 --> 01:58:41,640
townhomes with commercial

3156
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:43,464
buildings, how is that

3157
01:58:47,204 --> 01:58:49,600
transitioning? Third, I want to.

3158
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:50,874
Talk about the access to our

3159
01:58:50,874 --> 01:58:52,709
road. Twin oaks at one time was

3160
01:58:52,709 --> 01:58:55,512
a private road and it is a dead

3161
01:58:55,512 --> 01:58:57,313
end road. There are already two

3162
01:58:57,313 --> 01:58:59,849
drive. They're trying to put a

3163
01:58:59,849 --> 01:59:02,385
one of their exits on our road,

3164
01:59:02,385 --> 01:59:03,753
which there are already two

3165
01:59:03,753 --> 01:59:05,588
driveways on that existing

3166
01:59:05,588 --> 01:59:07,724
property on old hickory. We

3167
01:59:07,724 --> 01:59:11,940
don't want them on our road

3168
01:59:11,940 --> 01:59:13,196
entering or exiting. Why should

3169
01:59:13,196 --> 01:59:14,898
we have to deal with their

3170
01:59:14,898 --> 01:59:16,633
traffic? Commercial traffic and

3171
01:59:16,633 --> 01:59:20,233
our own traffic when it's not

3172
01:59:23,273 --> 01:59:25,408
on there now. Like I said, twin

3173
01:59:25,408 --> 01:59:27,211
oaks is a dead end with five

3174
01:59:27,211 --> 01:59:29,647
and ten acre lots with single

3175
01:59:29,647 --> 01:59:31,115
family homes. Also, I didn't

3176
01:59:31,115 --> 01:59:33,217
mention the animals that live

3177
01:59:33,217 --> 01:59:35,386
in this area. They're slowly

3178
01:59:35,386 --> 01:59:37,188
losing their homes. My vote is

3179
01:59:37,188 --> 01:59:38,289
no and I hope yours is too.

3180
01:59:38,289 --> 01:59:40,289
Thank you.

3181
01:59:40,290 --> 01:59:42,293
Thank you. Go ahead.

3182
01:59:42,293 --> 01:59:42,660
Sir. You're recognized.

3183
01:59:42,660 --> 01:59:44,660
Good

3184
01:59:44,862 --> 01:59:46,630
evening. Don chaffer, 4005 twin

3185
01:59:46,630 --> 01:59:49,400
oaks lane, which is next door

3186
01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:51,268
to this proposed development. I

3187
01:59:51,268 --> 01:59:52,303
want to address the question of

3188
01:59:52,303 --> 01:59:54,204
communication. During this

3189
01:59:54,204 --> 01:59:55,339
process. It was discussed in

3190
01:59:55,339 --> 01:59:57,374
our council members online

3191
01:59:57,374 --> 01:59:59,430
meeting FEBRUARY 7th to 2025,

3192
01:59:59,430 --> 02:00:00,311
before the plans were delivered

3193
02:00:00,311 --> 02:00:01,478
to zoning. Six months later in

3194
02:00:01,478 --> 02:00:03,114
AUGUST. The next official

3195
02:00:03,114 --> 02:00:04,381
meeting that I'm aware of, and

3196
02:00:04,381 --> 02:00:06,784
we've been trying to understand

3197
02:00:06,784 --> 02:00:09,320
where these meetings were, was

3198
02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:11,722
APRIL 7th, 2026, which is a 14

3199
02:00:11,722 --> 02:00:13,557
month gap. And both of those

3200
02:00:13,557 --> 02:00:14,892
were online and the second one

3201
02:00:14,892 --> 02:00:15,927
was better attended, but it

3202
02:00:15,927 --> 02:00:16,994
didn't fully community

3203
02:00:16,994 --> 02:00:18,950
opinion because many of our

3204
02:00:18,950 --> 02:00:19,263
community members are older and

3205
02:00:19,263 --> 02:00:21,498
not so friendly with the

3206
02:00:21,498 --> 02:00:23,634
technology required for virtual

3207
02:00:23,634 --> 02:00:25,350
attendance. That we have

3208
02:00:25,350 --> 02:00:27,350
monthly in-person cambridge

3209
02:00:28,390 --> 02:00:29,400
community meetings and this,

3210
02:00:29,400 --> 02:00:30,507
this and other cambridge

3211
02:00:30,507 --> 02:00:31,642
developments get discussed

3212
02:00:31,642 --> 02:00:34,642
often there, but that's not

3213
02:00:35,513 --> 02:00:36,981
been a site for any official

3214
02:00:36,981 --> 02:00:39,381
meetings. Obviously, there have

3215
02:00:41,352 --> 02:00:42,487
been some intermittent like,

3216
02:00:42,487 --> 02:00:43,455
individual conversations

3217
02:00:43,455 --> 02:00:45,855
throughout. And we're grateful

3218
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:48,159
for those. In MAY of 2026, the

3219
02:00:48,159 --> 02:00:49,594
planning commission heard the,

3220
02:00:49,594 --> 02:00:52,630
the proposal and approved it

3221
02:00:52,630 --> 02:00:53,498
with conditions. Two of those

3222
02:00:53,498 --> 02:00:54,966
committee members did say they

3223
02:00:54,966 --> 02:00:56,670
could see why the community,

3224
02:00:56,670 --> 02:00:57,702
our community members that were

3225
02:00:57,702 --> 02:00:59,370
in attendance were frustrated

3226
02:00:59,370 --> 02:01:00,705
with it because they cited the

3227
02:01:00,705 --> 02:01:02,974
same thing about transition

3228
02:01:02,974 --> 02:01:04,643
seemed questionable. Since then,

3229
02:01:04,643 --> 02:01:06,444
we came up with the list of

3230
02:01:06,444 --> 02:01:07,979
conditions, emailed them to the

3231
02:01:07,979 --> 02:01:10,379
council person and the

3232
02:01:10,415 --> 02:01:12,830
developer. We didn't get an

3233
02:01:12,830 --> 02:01:14,719
email in response. We did have

3234
02:01:14,719 --> 02:01:15,820
a meeting the 23rd at the,

3235
02:01:15,820 --> 02:01:17,288
cambridge community center, and

3236
02:01:17,288 --> 02:01:19,688
there were 23 people in

3237
02:01:19,791 --> 02:01:22,791
attendance. So that's a big

3238
02:01:23,395 --> 02:01:25,263
difference from the, the lesser

3239
02:01:25,263 --> 02:01:26,798
attended stuff. I'm just saying

3240
02:01:26,798 --> 02:01:28,733
that there's been a, it has

3241
02:01:28,733 --> 02:01:29,734
felt at times like it's been a

3242
02:01:29,734 --> 02:01:31,202
difficult process to get our

3243
02:01:31,202 --> 02:01:32,904
voice heard on the concerns

3244
02:01:32,904 --> 02:01:34,272
that we have. Once again, we

3245
02:01:34,272 --> 02:01:35,774
feel like the developers

3246
02:01:35,774 --> 02:01:37,108
willing to discuss, but that

3247
02:01:37,108 --> 02:01:38,576
there are fundamental

3248
02:01:38,576 --> 02:01:40,576
underlying infrastructural

3249
02:01:41,460 --> 02:01:42,513
issues that make this not only

3250
02:01:42,513 --> 02:01:43,881
problematic, but potentially

3251
02:01:43,881 --> 02:01:45,881
dangerous. Thank you.

3252
02:01:46,117 --> 02:01:48,117
Thank you.

3253
02:01:49,540 --> 02:01:49,721
Go ahead. You're next.

3254
02:01:49,721 --> 02:01:51,890
I'm lori

3255
02:01:51,890 --> 02:01:52,124
chaffer and I live adjacent to

3256
02:01:52,124 --> 02:01:53,358
this development. Many of us

3257
02:01:53,358 --> 02:01:56,610
are here tonight because this

3258
02:01:56,610 --> 02:01:57,462
specific plan creates traffic,

3259
02:01:57,462 --> 02:01:59,130
flooding and compatibility

3260
02:01:59,130 --> 02:02:00,765
issues for those of us who live

3261
02:02:00,765 --> 02:02:02,634
near it that have not yet been

3262
02:02:02,634 --> 02:02:03,601
addressed adequately, the

3263
02:02:03,601 --> 02:02:05,137
developers are proposing a

3264
02:02:05,137 --> 02:02:06,939
pretty packed development, a

3265
02:02:06,939 --> 02:02:09,700
stone's throw from my one and a

3266
02:02:09,700 --> 02:02:10,242
half story home on three acres.

3267
02:02:10,242 --> 02:02:12,440
And as you hopefully saw in the

3268
02:02:12,440 --> 02:02:14,179
visual presentation I sent you

3269
02:02:14,179 --> 02:02:16,247
all on friday, hopefully it

3270
02:02:16,247 --> 02:02:18,500
will tower over our home and it

3271
02:02:18,500 --> 02:02:19,852
will stick out in this largely

3272
02:02:19,852 --> 02:02:21,987
rural area with single family

3273
02:02:21,987 --> 02:02:23,389
homes on 3 to 10 acre lots, as

3274
02:02:23,389 --> 02:02:24,990
I understand it, according to

3275
02:02:24,990 --> 02:02:26,692
land use policy in the

3276
02:02:26,692 --> 02:02:27,960
cambridge small area study,

3277
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:29,495
density is supposed to decrease

3278
02:02:29,495 --> 02:02:30,495
as you head south on old

3279
02:02:30,495 --> 02:02:32,497
hickory boulevard, away from

3280
02:02:32,497 --> 02:02:33,765
the highway. But this plan is

3281
02:02:33,765 --> 02:02:35,367
more dense than what comes

3282
02:02:35,367 --> 02:02:37,403
before it, and it feels out of

3283
02:02:37,403 --> 02:02:39,671
place. Truly, many of us on

3284
02:02:39,671 --> 02:02:41,440
twin oaks, are open to

3285
02:02:41,440 --> 02:02:42,174
development as long as it's in

3286
02:02:42,174 --> 02:02:43,575
coordination with neighbors

3287
02:02:43,575 --> 02:02:45,100
most affected by it. That

3288
02:02:45,100 --> 02:02:47,410
really hasn't happened here.

3289
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:50,480
The plan was submitted AUGUST

3290
02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:51,250
2025. But the neighborhood only

3291
02:02:51,250 --> 02:02:52,784
found out about it from a

3292
02:02:52,784 --> 02:02:54,820
zoning vote notice I received

3293
02:02:54,820 --> 02:02:55,887
in MARCH. In fact, getting

3294
02:02:55,887 --> 02:02:56,989
information about this

3295
02:02:56,989 --> 02:02:58,924
development next to my home and

3296
02:02:58,924 --> 02:03:00,250
on our dead end street was so

3297
02:03:00,250 --> 02:03:01,627
difficult. I ended up just

3298
02:03:01,627 --> 02:03:03,395
driving down to the developer's

3299
02:03:03,395 --> 02:03:04,997
office one day to get a face to

3300
02:03:04,997 --> 02:03:06,980
face. We scheduled meetings to

3301
02:03:06,980 --> 02:03:08,366
try to work together towards

3302
02:03:08,366 --> 02:03:09,568
what we thought were reasonable

3303
02:03:09,568 --> 02:03:11,637
compromises. And they're very

3304
02:03:11,637 --> 02:03:12,805
nice people. But I'm telling

3305
02:03:12,805 --> 02:03:14,573
you honestly, there's been

3306
02:03:14,573 --> 02:03:15,942
little openness to substantial

3307
02:03:15,942 --> 02:03:17,142
changes in the plan almost

3308
02:03:17,142 --> 02:03:18,610
no follow through on the

3309
02:03:18,610 --> 02:03:20,120
changes they said they'd look

3310
02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:21,614
into. Be fair to them, some

3311
02:03:21,614 --> 02:03:24,650
of this is because their hands

3312
02:03:24,650 --> 02:03:26,510
are tied by the competing city

3313
02:03:26,510 --> 02:03:27,853
departments involved. If

3314
02:03:27,853 --> 02:03:29,550
planning needs one solution and

3315
02:03:29,550 --> 02:03:30,220
indot needs another and the

3316
02:03:30,220 --> 02:03:31,557
neighbors another, which one

3317
02:03:31,557 --> 02:03:32,925
wins? And how can we compromise

3318
02:03:32,925 --> 02:03:34,360
if nobody knows all the

3319
02:03:34,360 --> 02:03:36,195
competing interests? Instead,

3320
02:03:36,195 --> 02:03:37,864
these departments require the

3321
02:03:37,864 --> 02:03:39,866
developer make changes to the

3322
02:03:39,866 --> 02:03:41,501
plan that most. That those of

3323
02:03:41,501 --> 02:03:42,602
us most affected by the changes

3324
02:03:42,602 --> 02:03:44,570
are not privy to, are happy

3325
02:03:44,570 --> 02:03:45,738
with. So we ask you to please

3326
02:03:45,738 --> 02:03:47,506
slow this development down and

3327
02:03:47,506 --> 02:03:48,508
help us get meetings with the

3328
02:03:48,508 --> 02:03:49,542
involved departments to work

3329
02:03:49,542 --> 02:03:51,942
out compromises, because you

3330
02:03:52,678 --> 02:03:54,180
an't build it.

3331
02:03:54,180 --> 02:03:56,180
Thank you. Go

3332
02:03:57,383 --> 02:03:57,517
ahead. Come on. Forward.

3333
02:03:57,517 --> 02:03:59,151
Thank

3334
02:03:59,151 --> 02:04:01,387
you, council members. My name

3335
02:04:01,387 --> 02:04:03,122
is dennis boyd. I'm a business

3336
02:04:03,122 --> 02:04:04,924
owner and I'm a resident in the

3337
02:04:04,924 --> 02:04:07,920
twin oaks lane community,

3338
02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:09,496
whom this project will most

3339
02:04:09,496 --> 02:04:12,980
affect. Twin oaks lane is made

3340
02:04:12,980 --> 02:04:13,599
up of around 19 to 20 single

3341
02:04:13,599 --> 02:04:15,868
family homes connected by dead

3342
02:04:15,868 --> 02:04:18,137
end deteriorating street with

3343
02:04:18,137 --> 02:04:19,372
one outlet and heavily traveled

3344
02:04:19,372 --> 02:04:21,107
old hickory boulevard.

3345
02:04:21,107 --> 02:04:23,709
Residents must cross busy ohv

3346
02:04:23,709 --> 02:04:25,770
traffic to enter or leave our

3347
02:04:25,770 --> 02:04:26,112
subdivision, and school busses

3348
02:04:26,112 --> 02:04:27,613
cannot even enter our

3349
02:04:27,613 --> 02:04:29,480
neighborhood because of

3350
02:04:29,480 --> 02:04:31,617
ordinances and things like that,

3351
02:04:31,617 --> 02:04:33,553
requiring children to cross ohv

3352
02:04:33,553 --> 02:04:35,922
to get to their parents waiting

3353
02:04:35,922 --> 02:04:38,791
for them. Now we are being

3354
02:04:38,791 --> 02:04:40,927
asked to accept a 45 plus three

3355
02:04:40,927 --> 02:04:42,428
story townhomes development, as

3356
02:04:42,428 --> 02:04:44,330
well as multiple commercial

3357
02:04:44,330 --> 02:04:46,432
buildings on this site on less

3358
02:04:46,432 --> 02:04:48,535
than five acres, potentially

3359
02:04:48,535 --> 02:04:51,700
less than 20 yards from my

3360
02:04:51,700 --> 02:04:52,839
neighbors existing homes and so

3361
02:04:52,839 --> 02:04:55,374
on. And we will all receive the

3362
02:04:55,374 --> 02:04:58,177
effects of this. I think you

3363
02:04:58,177 --> 02:05:00,130
can, determine from here this

3364
02:05:00,130 --> 02:05:01,448
dramatic density and

3365
02:05:01,448 --> 02:05:03,350
fundamental change in land use.

3366
02:05:03,350 --> 02:05:04,851
Our own planning commissioners

3367
02:05:04,851 --> 02:05:06,620
recognize this vice chair

3368
02:05:06,620 --> 02:05:08,255
jessica farr called the density

3369
02:05:08,255 --> 02:05:09,823
a mismatch with the surrounding

3370
02:05:09,823 --> 02:05:11,491
single family neighborhood. And

3371
02:05:11,491 --> 02:05:12,592
commissioner lee dundon

3372
02:05:12,592 --> 02:05:14,992
recognized the disconnect as

3373
02:05:15,162 --> 02:05:16,263
well. Residents have repeatedly

3374
02:05:16,263 --> 02:05:17,264
requested meaningful discussion

3375
02:05:17,264 --> 02:05:19,132
with our representatives

3376
02:05:19,132 --> 02:05:20,167
without much success. So we

3377
02:05:20,167 --> 02:05:21,668
started our own neighborhood

3378
02:05:21,668 --> 02:05:22,803
meetings and invited our

3379
02:05:22,803 --> 02:05:24,104
representatives and the

3380
02:05:24,104 --> 02:05:25,238
developers, of which I'm

3381
02:05:25,238 --> 02:05:27,141
thankful and pleased that the

3382
02:05:27,141 --> 02:05:28,442
developers did attend. Vice

3383
02:05:28,442 --> 02:05:30,677
chair farr also expressed

3384
02:05:30,677 --> 02:05:34,181
concern about the lack of great

3385
02:05:34,181 --> 02:05:37,181
public engagement here. I also,

3386
02:05:37,451 --> 02:05:38,385
I also have not seen any of

3387
02:05:38,385 --> 02:05:39,786
representatives meeting

3388
02:05:39,786 --> 02:05:40,854
that I've attended, and I've

3389
02:05:40,854 --> 02:05:42,589
attended about half of them due

3390
02:05:42,589 --> 02:05:45,589
to being a businessman that

3391
02:05:46,126 --> 02:05:48,361
travels. Those who are in favor

3392
02:05:48,361 --> 02:05:50,130
of this project do not live in

3393
02:05:50,130 --> 02:05:51,564
the twin oaks lane community,

3394
02:05:51,564 --> 02:05:53,330
of whom this project will

3395
02:05:53,330 --> 02:05:54,801
mostly affect responsible

3396
02:05:54,801 --> 02:05:56,203
growth, requires appropriate

3397
02:05:56,203 --> 02:05:58,710
density transitions, green

3398
02:05:58,710 --> 02:05:59,539
space buffering, and adequate

3399
02:05:59,539 --> 02:06:01,141
infrastructure. Thank you for

3400
02:06:01,141 --> 02:06:02,309
your time, I appreciate it. I

3401
02:06:02,309 --> 02:06:03,209
hope you vote no on this.

3402
02:06:03,209 --> 02:06:04,911
Thank

3403
02:06:04,911 --> 02:06:06,113
you. Go ahead and come on

3404
02:06:06,113 --> 02:06:07,181
forward. Let's not have too

3405
02:06:07,181 --> 02:06:08,281
much lag time between our

3406
02:06:08,281 --> 02:06:09,416
speakers. Asyou hear somebody

3407
02:06:09,416 --> 02:06:11,184
coming to their conclusion,

3408
02:06:11,184 --> 02:06:12,319
come on up behind them. Not too

3409
02:06:12,319 --> 02:06:14,120
close, but let's keep it moving.

3410
02:06:14,120 --> 02:06:14,221
Thank you ma'am. Go ahead.

3411
02:06:14,221 --> 02:06:16,122
I'm

3412
02:06:16,122 --> 02:06:17,324
donna england and I've lived on

3413
02:06:17,324 --> 02:06:18,692
twin oaks lane for 27 years.

3414
02:06:18,692 --> 02:06:20,694
I've raised my children there

3415
02:06:20,694 --> 02:06:22,896
and I'm raising or assisting.

3416
02:06:22,896 --> 02:06:24,898
It's a community, my

3417
02:06:24,898 --> 02:06:26,400
grandchildren. So one of my big

3418
02:06:26,400 --> 02:06:28,668
issues is the traffic. Four

3419
02:06:28,668 --> 02:06:30,403
lanes of traffic, new drivers

3420
02:06:30,403 --> 02:06:32,974
coming into my home, coming to

3421
02:06:32,974 --> 02:06:34,709
visit. That's terrifying. We

3422
02:06:34,709 --> 02:06:36,209
need to do something about that.

3423
02:06:36,209 --> 02:06:38,412
There's no there's no traffic

3424
02:06:38,412 --> 02:06:40,114
light there. So that's my main

3425
02:06:40,114 --> 02:06:41,181
issue. The second main issue is

3426
02:06:41,181 --> 02:06:43,751
flooding. We were flooded out

3427
02:06:43,751 --> 02:06:45,519
of our home in the 2010 flood

3428
02:06:45,519 --> 02:06:47,721
and have since been flooded out

3429
02:06:47,721 --> 02:06:49,623
one other time with rising

3430
02:06:49,623 --> 02:06:52,360
water. With the water situation

3431
02:06:52,360 --> 02:06:54,194
at the top of the hill, water

3432
02:06:54,194 --> 02:06:56,630
travels down. So is it going to

3433
02:06:56,630 --> 02:06:58,650
get worse? There's

3434
02:06:58,650 --> 02:06:59,967
opportunities to make some

3435
02:06:59,967 --> 02:07:02,967
changes, but will those changes

3436
02:07:03,204 --> 02:07:06,204
be lasting? So flooding is

3437
02:07:06,440 --> 02:07:08,543
definitely there. A buffer. The

3438
02:07:08,543 --> 02:07:11,780
how the home next door to this

3439
02:07:11,780 --> 02:07:12,447
project, three story buildings

3440
02:07:12,447 --> 02:07:14,315
she lives on. She and her

3441
02:07:14,315 --> 02:07:16,216
family live in a one and a half

3442
02:07:16,216 --> 02:07:18,352
story home. And this buffer is

3443
02:07:18,352 --> 02:07:19,820
going to be like 20ft. And so

3444
02:07:19,820 --> 02:07:22,256
she looks out her windows and

3445
02:07:22,256 --> 02:07:24,391
sees a three story building.

3446
02:07:24,391 --> 02:07:26,627
That's not what we moved into.

3447
02:07:26,627 --> 02:07:28,396
That's not what we want in that

3448
02:07:28,396 --> 02:07:30,497
part of the community building.

3449
02:07:30,497 --> 02:07:32,634
Yes, but make it cohesive to

3450
02:07:32,634 --> 02:07:35,537
what's already there and not

3451
02:07:35,537 --> 02:07:37,405
bring in so many people that

3452
02:07:37,405 --> 02:07:39,473
traffic is going to be even

3453
02:07:39,473 --> 02:07:43,444
worse. And I know that's a dot

3454
02:07:43,444 --> 02:07:45,947
thing, but, and my last thing

3455
02:07:45,947 --> 02:07:47,810
is sidewalks that will be

3456
02:07:47,810 --> 02:07:49,481
provided and walking to

3457
02:07:49,551 --> 02:07:51,353
different businesses and walk

3458
02:07:51,353 --> 02:07:52,586
to dollar general store and the

3459
02:07:52,586 --> 02:07:54,688
pizza store down there, that's

3460
02:07:54,688 --> 02:07:56,324
what we've got. I don't know

3461
02:07:56,324 --> 02:07:57,292
that there's going to be more

3462
02:07:57,292 --> 02:07:58,559
restaurants coming in, but

3463
02:07:58,559 --> 02:08:01,129
right now, that's all we do

3464
02:08:01,129 --> 02:08:02,597
have. So walking in that area

3465
02:08:02,597 --> 02:08:03,398
is not ideal, especially down

3466
02:08:03,398 --> 02:08:04,933
old hickory boulevard. That's

3467
02:08:04,933 --> 02:08:06,134
going to be four lanes of

3468
02:08:06,134 --> 02:08:06,868
traffic. Thank you.

3469
02:08:06,868 --> 02:08:08,868
Thank you.

3470
02:08:10,105 --> 02:08:11,940
Go ahead sir. You're recognized.

3471
02:08:11,940 --> 02:08:14,375
My name is darren whitehead. I

3472
02:08:14,375 --> 02:08:17,278
live on the same street on twin

3473
02:08:17,278 --> 02:08:19,781
oaks. All the traffic concerns

3474
02:08:19,781 --> 02:08:21,649
have been addressed. My main

3475
02:08:21,649 --> 02:08:22,784
concern is the flooding, and

3476
02:08:22,784 --> 02:08:24,486
we've had some of these

3477
02:08:24,486 --> 02:08:26,287
meetings. And I asked

3478
02:08:26,287 --> 02:08:28,560
specifically if the area does

3479
02:08:28,560 --> 02:08:30,692
flood, which is flooded in the

3480
02:08:30,692 --> 02:08:32,193
past, who's responsible for it?

3481
02:08:32,193 --> 02:08:33,194
Certainly not the contractors

3482
02:08:33,194 --> 02:08:35,764
who are building because their

3483
02:08:35,764 --> 02:08:37,198
their job is done. They're gone.

3484
02:08:37,198 --> 02:08:40,198
So we've asked for meetings

3485
02:08:40,401 --> 02:08:44,272
with n dot t dot to no avail.

3486
02:08:44,272 --> 02:08:46,375
I'm not against progress, but

3487
02:08:46,375 --> 02:08:48,210
the the growth that nashville

3488
02:08:48,210 --> 02:08:51,179
has experienced, not just our

3489
02:08:51,179 --> 02:08:52,947
area is the planning is way

3490
02:08:52,947 --> 02:08:55,583
behind. And so we're going to

3491
02:08:55,583 --> 02:08:57,352
build in areas it needs to fit

3492
02:08:57,352 --> 02:08:58,721
the needs of the community. And

3493
02:08:58,721 --> 02:09:00,889
it certainly needs to address

3494
02:09:00,889 --> 02:09:03,392
the ones who actually live and

3495
02:09:03,392 --> 02:09:05,194
stay in that area. All of us

3496
02:09:05,194 --> 02:09:06,628
got up and spoke live on twin

3497
02:09:06,628 --> 02:09:09,197
oaks lane, and it's going to

3498
02:09:09,197 --> 02:09:10,732
directly affect how we live,

3499
02:09:10,732 --> 02:09:12,801
not only how we live, but how

3500
02:09:12,801 --> 02:09:14,169
we get out onto old hickory

3501
02:09:14,169 --> 02:09:16,569
boulevard. The traffic right

3502
02:09:16,771 --> 02:09:18,606
now is bad and it's already

3503
02:09:18,606 --> 02:09:20,675
creating congestion both ways.

3504
02:09:20,675 --> 02:09:22,845
Want to try to go on the 24 to

3505
02:09:22,845 --> 02:09:24,512
get on to 24 and one. Try to go

3506
02:09:24,512 --> 02:09:26,912
left down towards nolensville

3507
02:09:27,482 --> 02:09:28,684
road. So I don't think a

3508
02:09:28,684 --> 02:09:29,818
traffic study has been done.

3509
02:09:29,818 --> 02:09:32,187
The amount of traffic it's

3510
02:09:32,187 --> 02:09:33,722
going to create, along with the

3511
02:09:33,722 --> 02:09:35,256
46 units that are being asked

3512
02:09:35,256 --> 02:09:36,458
to be built there, how much

3513
02:09:36,458 --> 02:09:38,660
more traffic that's going to

3514
02:09:38,660 --> 02:09:41,660
create on old hickory boulevard?

3515
02:09:42,231 --> 02:09:42,765
So I vote no on this.

3516
02:09:42,765 --> 02:09:44,660
Thank you.

3517
02:09:44,660 --> 02:09:45,868
Go ahead ma'am. You're

3518
02:09:45,868 --> 02:09:47,336
recognized.

3519
02:09:47,336 --> 02:09:49,171
Hi, I'm shauna

3520
02:09:49,171 --> 02:09:52,700
deacon and I'm in a neighboring

3521
02:09:52,700 --> 02:09:54,176
community that is, we're all

3522
02:09:54,176 --> 02:09:56,176
experiencing explosive growth

3523
02:09:57,379 --> 02:09:59,779
and the infrastructure demands

3524
02:10:00,682 --> 02:10:03,151
that are just not being met.

3525
02:10:03,151 --> 02:10:06,388
I've been trying to work with

3526
02:10:06,388 --> 02:10:08,788
metro water and and

3527
02:10:09,358 --> 02:10:11,758
coordinate planning and for,

3528
02:10:12,461 --> 02:10:15,461
for several months now. And

3529
02:10:17,266 --> 02:10:20,266
they all speak in isolation,

3530
02:10:20,769 --> 02:10:23,739
pulled into the twin oaks road

3531
02:10:23,739 --> 02:10:26,575
to grab one of the community

3532
02:10:26,575 --> 02:10:30,175
members, and she drove out and

3533
02:10:30,846 --> 02:10:33,480
we were just at a stop for

3534
02:10:33,480 --> 02:10:34,816
probably 2.5 minutes, waiting

3535
02:10:34,816 --> 02:10:37,420
for traffic so we could turn

3536
02:10:37,420 --> 02:10:39,522
right into traffic. You guys

3537
02:10:39,522 --> 02:10:42,358
have to hit pause until we can

3538
02:10:42,358 --> 02:10:43,425
figure out the plan.

3539
02:10:43,425 --> 02:10:45,425
Thank you.

3540
02:10:45,427 --> 02:10:49,270
Is there anyone else seeking to

3541
02:10:49,599 --> 02:10:50,733
be recognized in opposition?

3542
02:10:50,733 --> 02:10:52,434
Okay. Seeing none, I will

3543
02:10:52,434 --> 02:10:54,834
declare the public hearing

3544
02:10:54,971 --> 02:10:57,840
closed. And it's back to you,

3545
02:10:57,840 --> 02:10:58,975
MISS Lee, for a motion on these

3546
02:10:58,975 --> 02:11:00,430
bills.

3547
02:11:00,430 --> 02:11:01,410
MADAM Chair, I would

3548
02:11:01,410 --> 02:11:03,279
like to make a motion to

3549
02:11:03,279 --> 02:11:05,781
approve these, but I would like

3550
02:11:05,781 --> 02:11:07,917
to have a comment afterwards.

3551
02:11:07,917 --> 02:11:11,517
okay. There is a motion to

3552
02:11:11,554 --> 02:11:13,356
approve 1411 and 1412 in a

3553
02:11:13,356 --> 02:11:15,356
consolidated motion. Again

3554
02:11:15,492 --> 02:11:17,360
approval on second of three

3555
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:19,362
readings. I've heard a second

3556
02:11:19,362 --> 02:11:21,230
of that motion. And so

3557
02:11:21,230 --> 02:11:22,665
that it's back to you, MISS Lee.

3558
02:11:22,665 --> 02:11:24,367
I would like to ask that you

3559
02:11:24,367 --> 02:11:27,367
all approve this. There have

3560
02:11:27,370 --> 02:11:28,838
been, asyou have heard,

3561
02:11:28,838 --> 02:11:29,839
numerous meetings, numerous

3562
02:11:29,839 --> 02:11:32,141
meetings, and we're still

3563
02:11:32,141 --> 02:11:34,977
trying to set up one. Now, as

3564
02:11:34,977 --> 02:11:36,779
you heard the request with

3565
02:11:36,779 --> 02:11:38,881
indot and water that is in the

3566
02:11:38,881 --> 02:11:41,450
motion of trying to be set up

3567
02:11:41,450 --> 02:11:43,720
now as well, these developers

3568
02:11:43,720 --> 02:11:45,421
have really worked with trying

3569
02:11:45,421 --> 02:11:48,421
to work with the community,

3570
02:11:49,250 --> 02:11:50,393
even as far as, offering to

3571
02:11:50,393 --> 02:11:52,295
walk them through a

3572
02:11:52,295 --> 02:11:53,696
neighborhood that would be like

3573
02:11:53,696 --> 02:11:55,898
the one that they're building,

3574
02:11:55,898 --> 02:11:57,667
take them to a couple of the

3575
02:11:57,667 --> 02:11:59,102
restaurants that, we were

3576
02:11:59,102 --> 02:12:00,537
looking at. I have one

3577
02:12:00,537 --> 02:12:03,106
particular one in mind that I

3578
02:12:03,106 --> 02:12:04,107
wanted there. But so when you

3579
02:12:04,107 --> 02:12:05,975
hear commercial, we're not

3580
02:12:05,975 --> 02:12:08,211
talking about big heavy things.

3581
02:12:08,211 --> 02:12:09,646
We're talking about like office

3582
02:12:09,646 --> 02:12:12,382
buildings. Sit down. I think of

3583
02:12:12,382 --> 02:12:14,184
a pizza place of one of the

3584
02:12:14,184 --> 02:12:17,190
owners that was in that were in

3585
02:12:17,190 --> 02:12:18,288
the community. And then I don't

3586
02:12:18,288 --> 02:12:20,323
know if you all have ever been

3587
02:12:20,323 --> 02:12:21,825
to what's the name of that? My

3588
02:12:21,825 --> 02:12:23,227
chives or whatever. Those are

3589
02:12:23,227 --> 02:12:25,129
the type of things that we're

3590
02:12:25,129 --> 02:12:26,196
looking to do that so that you

3591
02:12:26,196 --> 02:12:28,599
can have a walkable area,

3592
02:12:28,599 --> 02:12:30,999
walkable, walkable space. I

3593
02:12:31,134 --> 02:12:32,869
agree totally. Our area, the

3594
02:12:32,869 --> 02:12:34,304
roads are terrible, the

3595
02:12:34,304 --> 02:12:36,390
infrastructure is not there.

3596
02:12:36,390 --> 02:12:37,608
But what are you going to do?

3597
02:12:37,608 --> 02:12:39,510
Say we'll never build anything

3598
02:12:39,510 --> 02:12:41,211
else until that's fixed? Or do

3599
02:12:41,211 --> 02:12:43,747
you work with people that are

3600
02:12:43,747 --> 02:12:45,182
coming to build things, or do

3601
02:12:45,182 --> 02:12:46,917
you work with people that are

3602
02:12:46,917 --> 02:12:48,151
coming to build things, to

3603
02:12:48,151 --> 02:12:50,551
suggest different things that

3604
02:12:51,254 --> 02:12:53,156
they can do in order to build,

3605
02:12:53,156 --> 02:12:54,524
to help your area out? And

3606
02:12:54,524 --> 02:12:56,660
that's what we have tried to do.

3607
02:12:56,660 --> 02:12:58,562
And all of my meetings. I ask,

3608
02:12:58,562 --> 02:13:00,330
instead of saying what you

3609
02:13:00,330 --> 02:13:02,866
don't want, give me suggestions

3610
02:13:02,866 --> 02:13:04,802
on what they can do to help.

3611
02:13:04,802 --> 02:13:06,436
And they have done the things.

3612
02:13:06,436 --> 02:13:08,171
Some of the suggestions, a lot

3613
02:13:08,171 --> 02:13:09,973
of the suggestions MAY be out

3614
02:13:09,973 --> 02:13:12,576
of their hands that cannot

3615
02:13:12,576 --> 02:13:15,779
do. But other things, let's do

3616
02:13:15,779 --> 02:13:17,948
that. Let's get something in

3617
02:13:17,948 --> 02:13:19,316
place that looks like what we

3618
02:13:19,316 --> 02:13:21,552
want and some things that we

3619
02:13:21,552 --> 02:13:23,687
need. And then let's work

3620
02:13:23,687 --> 02:13:24,721
together to try to get some of

3621
02:13:24,721 --> 02:13:26,857
these other divisions to make

3622
02:13:26,857 --> 02:13:28,559
some of the changes that need

3623
02:13:28,559 --> 02:13:30,461
making. You can't just say,

3624
02:13:30,461 --> 02:13:32,296
don't ever do, don't put

3625
02:13:32,296 --> 02:13:33,898
anything there until everything

3626
02:13:33,898 --> 02:13:35,650
is fine. Because how do you get

3627
02:13:35,650 --> 02:13:36,900
money? We don't have any

3628
02:13:36,900 --> 02:13:38,350
doggone money. How do you get

3629
02:13:38,350 --> 02:13:40,571
money to do some different

3630
02:13:40,571 --> 02:13:41,739
changes? Well, this MAY be I'm

3631
02:13:41,739 --> 02:13:43,674
sorry, but I'm going to say it.

3632
02:13:43,674 --> 02:13:44,709
Get the developers to do it

3633
02:13:44,709 --> 02:13:46,577
while they're doing something

3634
02:13:46,577 --> 02:13:47,812
else. If you want to do this

3635
02:13:47,812 --> 02:13:48,879
and help us by putting these

3636
02:13:48,879 --> 02:13:50,681
things in places, those are

3637
02:13:50,681 --> 02:13:52,684
some of the things that we have

3638
02:13:52,684 --> 02:13:54,686
had to do and that we are

3639
02:13:54,686 --> 02:13:56,119
trying to continue to do. I

3640
02:13:56,119 --> 02:13:57,455
will say, I think I heard it

3641
02:13:57,455 --> 02:13:58,990
from somebody else, some

3642
02:13:58,990 --> 02:14:00,491
speakers. I trust these

3643
02:14:00,491 --> 02:14:02,920
developers. I don't think that

3644
02:14:02,920 --> 02:14:03,728
they're going to walk away and

3645
02:14:03,728 --> 02:14:05,162
say, okay, this is done now.

3646
02:14:05,162 --> 02:14:07,310
Let me slap my hands of it

3647
02:14:07,310 --> 02:14:09,800
because I'm out of here. I

3648
02:14:09,800 --> 02:14:11,235
think you also heard that an

3649
02:14:11,235 --> 02:14:13,370
amendment was coming

3650
02:14:13,370 --> 02:14:15,406
forthcoming. And those that are

3651
02:14:15,406 --> 02:14:16,707
on my, database where I send

3652
02:14:16,707 --> 02:14:17,742
out information, it should have

3653
02:14:17,742 --> 02:14:19,510
already been sent to them

3654
02:14:19,510 --> 02:14:21,312
because I asked it to the

3655
02:14:21,312 --> 02:14:23,147
amendment to be sent. Does that

3656
02:14:23,147 --> 02:14:24,949
amendment do everything? No,

3657
02:14:24,949 --> 02:14:26,183
but it does help. And some of

3658
02:14:26,183 --> 02:14:28,119
the things on that amendment

3659
02:14:28,119 --> 02:14:29,287
are from what the community

3660
02:14:29,287 --> 02:14:31,389
said. So we're going to still

3661
02:14:31,389 --> 02:14:32,523
be working on this. And I'm

3662
02:14:32,523 --> 02:14:34,658
hoping and those people that

3663
02:14:34,658 --> 02:14:36,794
didn't come to the meetings I

3664
02:14:36,794 --> 02:14:37,928
have when I have my meetings,

3665
02:14:37,928 --> 02:14:39,797
it's about time for me to go.

3666
02:14:39,797 --> 02:14:39,997
Your time has expired.

3667
02:14:39,997 --> 02:14:41,766
I do

3668
02:14:41,766 --> 02:14:42,233
appreciate please, I would like

3669
02:14:42,233 --> 02:14:43,000
for you all.

3670
02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:44,769
Another member

3671
02:14:44,769 --> 02:14:46,570
would like to. Thank you. See

3672
02:14:46,570 --> 02:14:48,272
their MISS. MISS Ellis is

3673
02:14:48,272 --> 02:14:49,390
next in the queue. If there's

3674
02:14:49,390 --> 02:14:50,441
anything that you want to

3675
02:14:50,441 --> 02:14:51,509
conclude with MISS Lee. MISS

3676
02:14:51,509 --> 02:14:52,277
Ellis is seated.

3677
02:14:52,277 --> 02:14:54,111
Thank you very

3678
02:14:54,111 --> 02:14:55,580
much. We will continue to work

3679
02:14:55,580 --> 02:14:57,615
with these developers and ask

3680
02:14:57,615 --> 02:14:59,830
them to do things for the

3681
02:14:59,830 --> 02:15:01,585
community. I don't think that

3682
02:15:01,585 --> 02:15:02,887
if this is is handled or if

3683
02:15:02,887 --> 02:15:04,122
this is done, that they're

3684
02:15:04,122 --> 02:15:05,289
going to stop being in the

3685
02:15:05,289 --> 02:15:07,459
community because they care

3686
02:15:07,459 --> 02:15:08,827
about the community. I have not

3687
02:15:08,827 --> 02:15:11,363
said from any other developers

3688
02:15:11,363 --> 02:15:13,164
that I have that I trust them

3689
02:15:13,164 --> 02:15:14,599
the most. Now, if they prove me

3690
02:15:14,599 --> 02:15:16,767
wrong, then you slap my face

3691
02:15:16,767 --> 02:15:18,403
later. But right now I trust

3692
02:15:18,403 --> 02:15:19,638
them and I think that they will

3693
02:15:19,638 --> 02:15:23,238
continue. And I think we need

3694
02:15:23,308 --> 02:15:25,677
to also ask them different

3695
02:15:25,677 --> 02:15:27,912
things and have a plan in place

3696
02:15:27,912 --> 02:15:31,316
and and carry that forward. And

3697
02:15:31,316 --> 02:15:33,685
hopefully if, in dot and water

3698
02:15:33,685 --> 02:15:35,220
is listening as well, know that

3699
02:15:35,220 --> 02:15:36,922
you all are being asked to have

3700
02:15:36,922 --> 02:15:38,289
a meeting. I have already

3701
02:15:38,289 --> 02:15:40,525
reached out to our council

3702
02:15:40,525 --> 02:15:41,693
office to say when we want that

3703
02:15:41,693 --> 02:15:43,728
meeting, where we want it, and

3704
02:15:43,728 --> 02:15:45,564
to try to set that up. So that

3705
02:15:45,564 --> 02:15:46,631
will be there too. So this

3706
02:15:46,631 --> 02:15:47,832
isn't something that we are

3707
02:15:47,832 --> 02:15:49,567
stopping on. This is something

3708
02:15:49,567 --> 02:15:50,769
that we are going to continue

3709
02:15:50,769 --> 02:15:53,710
to, to work, and I hope the

3710
02:15:53,710 --> 02:15:55,240
community then will help me as

3711
02:15:55,240 --> 02:15:57,108
well with specifics, things

3712
02:15:57,108 --> 02:15:59,430
that these developers can do,

3713
02:15:59,430 --> 02:16:00,712
not things that are out of the

3714
02:16:00,712 --> 02:16:01,813
hands of the developers, but

3715
02:16:01,813 --> 02:16:03,481
something that they can do. And

3716
02:16:03,481 --> 02:16:05,500
we will help and get some some

3717
02:16:05,500 --> 02:16:06,451
things done for our community.

3718
02:16:06,451 --> 02:16:06,718
Thank you, MADAM Chair.

3719
02:16:06,718 --> 02:16:08,718
Thank

3720
02:16:08,820 --> 02:16:10,622
you. MISS Ellis, did you seek

3721
02:16:10,622 --> 02:16:12,224
to be recognized as a minute

3722
02:16:12,224 --> 02:16:13,926
and 45 seconds of time

3723
02:16:13,926 --> 02:16:15,160
remaining, or was it just for

3724
02:16:15,160 --> 02:16:16,795
purposes of seating time? Okay.

3725
02:16:16,795 --> 02:16:18,430
All right. So we'll clear that

3726
02:16:18,430 --> 02:16:19,764
clock. And next in the queue is

3727
02:16:19,764 --> 02:16:20,565
council member cortez. You're

3728
02:16:20,565 --> 02:16:20,765
recognized, sir.

3729
02:16:20,765 --> 02:16:22,535
Thank you,

3730
02:16:22,535 --> 02:16:23,568
vice mayor. This sounds like a

3731
02:16:23,568 --> 02:16:25,604
very promising project, and I

3732
02:16:25,604 --> 02:16:27,672
don't want to get in the way of

3733
02:16:27,672 --> 02:16:28,841
it. I just want to make sure

3734
02:16:28,841 --> 02:16:30,575
that meeting with mndot happens.

3735
02:16:30,575 --> 02:16:31,710
I'd like to make a motion for a

3736
02:16:31,710 --> 02:16:33,478
deferral, just to make sure

3737
02:16:33,478 --> 02:16:33,712
there's time to make that

3738
02:16:33,712 --> 02:16:34,679
happen.

3739
02:16:34,679 --> 02:16:37,679
Is there a second to

3740
02:16:38,416 --> 02:16:41,386
the deferral motion? I do not

3741
02:16:41,386 --> 02:16:44,523
hear a second. And so that

3742
02:16:44,523 --> 02:16:47,523
motion is not moving forward.

3743
02:16:47,827 --> 02:16:49,195
We remain on a motion to

3744
02:16:49,195 --> 02:16:51,630
approve. On the second of three

3745
02:16:51,630 --> 02:16:54,266
readings. Next in the queue is

3746
02:16:54,266 --> 02:16:54,734
council member hill.

3747
02:16:54,734 --> 02:16:56,402
Thank you,

3748
02:16:56,402 --> 02:16:58,337
vice mayor. I just want to give

3749
02:16:58,337 --> 02:16:59,405
MISS Lee a little extra time if

3750
02:16:59,405 --> 02:17:00,372
she needs to speak.

3751
02:17:00,372 --> 02:17:01,907
i think a

3752
02:17:01,907 --> 02:17:04,900
colleague has already ceded

3753
02:17:04,900 --> 02:17:05,277
time. And. Okay, MISS Lee, has

3754
02:17:05,277 --> 02:17:08,277

02:17:14,787 --> 02:17:17,187
collegiality. Okay. All right.

3758
02:17:18,230 --> 02:17:19,825

02:17:19,825 --> 02:17:22,328

3760
02:17:22,328 --> 02:17:24,229

02:17:39,278 --> 02:17:41,678

3785
02:18:23,990 --> 02:18:26,390
member webb, you are,

3786
02:18:26,526 --> 02:18:27,927
recognized. Go ahead ma'am.

3787
02:18:27,927 --> 02:18:30,620
Would you like to take the next

02:18:30,620 --> 02:18:30,160
one to their companion bills?

3789
02:18:30,160 --> 02:18:32,640
I

3790
02:18:32,640 --> 02:18:34,768
do not believe they can be

3791
02:18:34,768 --> 02:18:36,870
taken together. Special counsel.

3792
02:18:36,870 --> 02:18:40,470
I know they are similar, but

3793
02:18:40,473 --> 02:18:42,308
MAY they be taken together. Oh,

3794
02:18:42,308 --> 02:18:42,608
I'm sorry sir. Go ahead sir.

3795
02:18:42,608 --> 02:18:43,910
No,

3796
02:18:43,910 --> 02:18:44,877
vice mayor, they.

3797
02:18:44,877 --> 02:18:45,945
They MAY not

3798
02:18:45,945 --> 02:18:46,790
be taken together, ma'am.

3799
02:18:46,790 --> 02:18:47,981
Okay.

3800
02:18:47,981 --> 02:18:48,781
Thank you. I'd like to open the

3801
02:18:48,781 --> 02:18:50,490
public hearing.

3802
02:18:50,490 --> 02:18:52,490
Okay. I declare

3803
02:18:52,285 --> 02:18:55,285
the public hearing open for

3804
02:18:56,689 --> 02:18:58,825
council member webb's ordinance.

3805
02:18:58,825 --> 02:19:00,627
1416. Would all members of the

3806
02:19:00,627 --> 02:19:03,530

3807
02:19:03,530 --> 02:19:06,990

3808
02:19:06,990 --> 02:19:08,201
Okay. Would all membersof the

02:19:09,669 --> 02:19:12,669
this bill please raise your

3811
02:19:14,400 --> 02:19:17,640
hand? Okay. I'm seeing one here

3812
02:19:18,611 --> 02:19:20,611
in opposition, supporting

3813
02:19:21,547 --> 02:19:25,418
speakers. If you do seek to be

3814
02:19:25,418 --> 02:19:27,120
recognized, do go first. So if

3815
02:19:27,120 --> 02:19:28,721
there are folks who would like

3816
02:19:28,721 --> 02:19:30,523
to speak in support, you are

3817
02:19:30,523 --> 02:19:32,910
welcome to come forward at this

3818
02:19:32,910 --> 02:19:36,291
time. Go ahead and come on up

3819
02:19:41,734 --> 02:19:45,334
to the podium. All righty. Go

3820
02:19:45,738 --> 02:19:47,607
ahead ma'am. I apologize. Hang

3821
02:19:47,607 --> 02:19:48,574
on just a second, ma'am. Go

3822
02:19:48,574 --> 02:19:48,674
ahead.

3823
02:19:48,674 --> 02:19:49,742
Yes.

3824
02:19:49,742 --> 02:19:50,576
My name is.

3825
02:19:50,576 --> 02:19:51,678
Pamela

3826
02:19:51,678 --> 02:19:54,130
honavar and I live in the

3827
02:19:54,130 --> 02:19:55,515
shepherd hill subdivision. My

3828
02:19:55,515 --> 02:19:57,116
mother, who's 87, is here with

3829
02:19:57,116 --> 02:19:58,318
me too. She lives across the

3830
02:19:58,318 --> 02:20:00,820
street, so I'm kind of

3831
02:20:00,820 --> 02:20:02,820
representing both properties.

3832
02:20:03,356 --> 02:20:04,757
We're in favor of this passing

3833
02:20:04,757 --> 02:20:06,592
because I want to thank our

3834
02:20:06,592 --> 02:20:09,592
council member, MISS Webb, for

3835
02:20:09,730 --> 02:20:11,564
having many meetings with us we had to

3836
02:20:11,564 --> 02:20:14,467
say, and trying her best to

3837
02:20:14,467 --> 02:20:15,435
help us out withthis. I've

3838
02:20:15,435 --> 02:20:17,835
lived in this neighborhood

3839
02:20:18,104 --> 02:20:20,600
since I was six years old, and

3840
02:20:20,600 --> 02:20:21,174
I've seen a lot of changes.

3841
02:20:21,174 --> 02:20:23,142
That was before rivergate mall.

3842
02:20:23,142 --> 02:20:27,342
I've watched it come and go now,

3843
02:20:27,447 --> 02:20:29,249
and so I know that we need

3844
02:20:29,249 --> 02:20:31,751
change and we need things, but

3845
02:20:31,751 --> 02:20:34,721
we're changing way too fast for

3846
02:20:34,721 --> 02:20:36,456
infrastructure for, the type of

3847
02:20:36,456 --> 02:20:38,258
housing that we have for the

3848
02:20:38,258 --> 02:20:41,128
different things that are going

3849
02:20:41,128 --> 02:20:42,629
on. So I support this overlay

3850
02:20:42,629 --> 02:20:44,731
to prevent some of the things

3851
02:20:44,731 --> 02:20:46,466
that have gone on already in

3852
02:20:46,466 --> 02:20:48,866
our neighborhoods that are

3853
02:20:49,803 --> 02:20:51,872
totally out of, in the building

3854
02:20:51,872 --> 02:20:53,373
plans of what we have. It's an

3855
02:20:53,373 --> 02:20:55,373
older neighborhood, mostly

3856
02:20:56,576 --> 02:20:58,779
ranch houses. And so we, we

3857
02:20:58,779 --> 02:21:00,514
like it that way. We have a lot

3858
02:21:00,514 --> 02:21:03,783
of newer people that have moved

3859
02:21:03,783 --> 02:21:05,552
in. But, you know, we want this

3860
02:21:05,552 --> 02:21:09,152
overlay to pass. So we're in

3861
02:21:10,991 --> 02:21:11,324
favor of that. Thank you.

3862
02:21:11,324 --> 02:21:13,324
Thank

3863
02:21:18,865 --> 02:21:19,633
you. Go ahead. Sir, you're

3864
02:21:19,633 --> 02:21:20,767
recognized.

3865
02:21:20,767 --> 02:21:23,167
This is randy olive

3866
02:21:23,170 --> 02:21:24,971
in shepherd hills subdivision

3867
02:21:24,971 --> 02:21:26,773
development. We have the

3868
02:21:26,773 --> 02:21:29,773
overlay that has been proposed

3869
02:21:30,777 --> 02:21:32,679
by MISS Webb. And there's a lot

3870
02:21:32,679 --> 02:21:33,647
of things that lie behind this

3871
02:21:33,647 --> 02:21:35,815
that are just that are not

3872
02:21:35,815 --> 02:21:38,718
being seen. I don't feel like

3873
02:21:38,718 --> 02:21:41,288
you got as was spoken just now,

3874
02:21:41,288 --> 02:21:43,256
that almost all the homes are

3875
02:21:43,256 --> 02:21:45,993
ranch homes. Most all the homes

3876
02:21:45,993 --> 02:21:47,427
are on at least an acre lot.

3877
02:21:47,427 --> 02:21:49,462
Now we've got people that are

3878
02:21:49,462 --> 02:21:51,631
coming in that are trying to

3879
02:21:51,631 --> 02:21:53,100
develop one single lot of an

3880
02:21:53,100 --> 02:21:54,901
acre and divide it into two and

3881
02:21:54,901 --> 02:21:57,700
put two tall skinnies on there,

3882
02:21:57,700 --> 02:21:58,939
which is taking away from the

3883
02:21:58,939 --> 02:22:01,241
attraction of the of the

3884
02:22:01,241 --> 02:22:03,143
neighborhood itself. I live I

3885
02:22:03,143 --> 02:22:05,120
moved there about 20 years ago

3886
02:22:05,120 --> 02:22:06,747
with my wife. The thing that

3887
02:22:06,747 --> 02:22:08,548
attracted us to that area was

3888
02:22:08,548 --> 02:22:11,510
the fact that there was a lot

3889
02:22:11,510 --> 02:22:12,919
large lots. The housing and the

3890
02:22:12,919 --> 02:22:14,919
development was mainly

3891
02:22:16,890 --> 02:22:18,291
maintained. And these tall

3892
02:22:18,291 --> 02:22:20,861
skinnies that are coming in is

3893
02:22:20,861 --> 02:22:23,730
creating one a lot more traffic

3894
02:22:23,730 --> 02:22:26,233
to the fact that it is taking

3895
02:22:26,233 --> 02:22:29,169
away from the integrity of the

3896
02:22:29,169 --> 02:22:31,372
of the subdivision itself. And

3897
02:22:31,372 --> 02:22:33,807
I am in favor of the overlay

3898
02:22:33,807 --> 02:22:36,410
and hope that yu will see it,

3899
02:22:36,410 --> 02:22:38,846
that it is not a step in the

3900
02:22:38,846 --> 02:22:41,846
right direction for this to

3901
02:22:44,218 --> 02:22:44,552
take place. Thank you.

3902
02:22:44,552 --> 02:22:46,487
Thank

3903
02:22:46,487 --> 02:22:47,388
you. Go ahead sir.

3904
02:22:47,388 --> 02:22:49,388
My name is

3905
02:22:49,757 --> 02:22:52,893
milton pirtle and I reside in

3906
02:22:52,893 --> 02:22:54,795
this particular neighborhood.

3907
02:22:54,795 --> 02:22:58,332
I'm asking the council to help

3908
02:22:58,332 --> 02:22:59,333
us to preserve, preserve our

3909
02:22:59,333 --> 02:23:00,768
current neighborhood, which has

3910
02:23:00,768 --> 02:23:03,671
been in existence for about

3911
02:23:03,671 --> 02:23:06,207
maybe at least 50 years. If you

3912
02:23:06,207 --> 02:23:09,760
give you a little context of it,

3913
02:23:09,760 --> 02:23:10,978
we're in in the midst of

3914
02:23:10,978 --> 02:23:12,680
development. We live maybe

3915
02:23:12,680 --> 02:23:14,148
about a block or two from the

3916
02:23:14,148 --> 02:23:15,583
rivergate mall, where that

3917
02:23:15,583 --> 02:23:17,583
they're developing over 400

3918
02:23:19,200 --> 02:23:20,488
units and retail spaces. So we

3919
02:23:20,488 --> 02:23:22,756
are only asking maybe about 2

3920
02:23:22,756 --> 02:23:24,592
or 3 streets to the north of

3921
02:23:24,592 --> 02:23:27,940
gallatin road that will allow

3922
02:23:27,940 --> 02:23:29,997
us to preserve our neighborhood,

3923
02:23:29,997 --> 02:23:32,500
raise our families, and simply

3924
02:23:32,500 --> 02:23:33,567
just live in a more peaceful

3925
02:23:33,567 --> 02:23:33,901
environment. Thank you.

3926
02:23:33,901 --> 02:23:35,901
Thank

3927
02:23:36,837 --> 02:23:39,600
you sir. Go ahead. You're

3928
02:23:39,600 --> 02:23:40,174
recognized.

3929
02:23:40,174 --> 02:23:42,900
Hi, my name is chip

3930
02:23:42,900 --> 02:23:43,577
ellis. I live on twin hills

3931
02:23:43,577 --> 02:23:44,745
drive. I've watched, the

3932
02:23:44,745 --> 02:23:47,145
character of this neighborhood

3933
02:23:47,448 --> 02:23:48,816
erode a little for the last 11

3934
02:23:48,816 --> 02:23:50,751
years. We've got some

3935
02:23:50,751 --> 02:23:52,619
developments going in on every

3936
02:23:52,619 --> 02:23:53,954
available square inch of land.

3937
02:23:53,954 --> 02:23:55,956
It's a special neighborhood.

3938
02:23:55,956 --> 02:23:57,291
All of my neighbors bought

3939
02:23:57,291 --> 02:23:58,625
their invested there because of

3940
02:23:58,625 --> 02:24:00,600
the haracter of the

3941
02:24:00,600 --> 02:24:01,495
neighborhood, and it's kind of

3942
02:24:01,495 --> 02:24:03,264
slowly going away. So I'm in

3943
02:24:03,264 --> 02:24:04,264
full support of this, this

3944
02:24:04,264 --> 02:24:05,799
overlay. I think the

3945
02:24:05,799 --> 02:24:06,200
neighborhood needs it.

3946
02:24:06,200 --> 02:24:08,200
Thank

3947
02:24:09,690 --> 02:24:12,606
you sir. Is anyone else seeking

3948
02:24:12,606 --> 02:24:14,542
to speak in support? Okay.

3949
02:24:14,542 --> 02:24:16,677
Seeing none. There was a person

3950
02:24:16,677 --> 02:24:18,780
in opposition, I believe. Do

3951
02:24:18,780 --> 02:24:20,280
they wish to speak? Okay. Go

3952
02:24:20,280 --> 02:24:20,515
ahead. You're recognized.

3953
02:24:20,515 --> 02:24:22,830
Yeah.

3954
02:24:22,830 --> 02:24:24,285
We're in a housing crisis, and

3955
02:24:24,285 --> 02:24:26,688
this effectively, makes it a

3956
02:24:26,688 --> 02:24:29,390
lot harder to build housing.

3957
02:24:29,390 --> 02:24:32,127
This this starts one parcel off

3958
02:24:32,127 --> 02:24:33,494
of gallatin pike, right? Where

3959
02:24:33,494 --> 02:24:35,894
ja high frequency transit

3960
02:24:36,131 --> 02:24:38,660
corridor is. And this is not

3961
02:24:38,660 --> 02:24:39,267
what we need to be doing in the

3962
02:24:39,267 --> 02:24:40,401
midst of a housing crisis. This

3963
02:24:40,401 --> 02:24:43,401
was disapproved by the planning

3964
02:24:43,571 --> 02:24:45,407
commission. I just want to

3965
02:24:45,407 --> 02:24:47,575
remind you all that. Thank you.

3966
02:24:47,575 --> 02:24:49,343
All right. Is there anyone else

3967
02:24:49,343 --> 02:24:51,946
seeking to be recognized to

3968
02:24:51,946 --> 02:24:53,414
speak in opposition? Seeing

3969
02:24:53,414 --> 02:24:56,151
none, I will declare the public

3970
02:24:56,151 --> 02:24:58,319
hearing closed at this time,

3971
02:24:58,319 --> 02:24:59,521
MISS Webb, immediately

3972
02:24:59,521 --> 02:25:01,921
subsequent to this public

3973
02:25:01,990 --> 02:25:04,990
hearing. Because this is a

3974
02:25:05,560 --> 02:25:07,695
disapproved bill or disapproval

3975
02:25:07,695 --> 02:25:09,931
recommendation. We do have a

3976
02:25:09,931 --> 02:25:11,733
presentation by the planning

3977
02:25:11,733 --> 02:25:13,568
department. Okay. So let's,

3978
02:25:13,568 --> 02:25:15,269
let's do that first, please.

3979
02:25:15,269 --> 02:25:16,738
And then you are of course,

3980
02:25:16,738 --> 02:25:18,573
very welcome to speak at that

3981
02:25:18,573 --> 02:25:20,742
time and make a motion as you

3982
02:25:20,742 --> 02:25:23,244
see fit. Go ahead, MR. Lehman.

3983
02:25:23,244 --> 02:25:26,147
Okay. Thank you. This is bill

3984
02:25:26,147 --> 02:25:28,147
2026 1416. These are the

3985
02:25:29,500 --> 02:25:30,551
properties proposed for the

3986
02:25:30,551 --> 02:25:32,951
overlay. The contextual overlay

3987
02:25:33,354 --> 02:25:34,422
would be applied on top of the

3988
02:25:34,422 --> 02:25:36,324
base zoning that's in place

3989
02:25:36,324 --> 02:25:39,924
today on the property shown in

3990
02:25:40,161 --> 02:25:42,630
yellow. Once again, the current

3991
02:25:42,630 --> 02:25:44,565
zoning is r 20. The base zoning.

3992
02:25:44,565 --> 02:25:45,967
If this were to be applied, it

3993
02:25:45,967 --> 02:25:47,100
would be an overlay, a

3994
02:25:47,100 --> 02:25:49,103
contextual overlay on top of

3995
02:25:49,103 --> 02:25:52,600
that existing zoning on these

3996
02:25:52,600 --> 02:25:54,600
properties. Contextual overlays

3997
02:25:54,242 --> 02:25:56,242
provide additional design

3998
02:25:56,378 --> 02:25:57,645
standards in residential areas.

3999
02:25:57,645 --> 02:25:58,980
They're intended to maintain

4000
02:25:58,980 --> 02:26:01,380
and protect neighborhood form

4001
02:26:02,483 --> 02:26:04,180
and character, and they must be

4002
02:26:04,180 --> 02:26:05,386
applied for a complete block%

4003
02:26:05,386 --> 02:26:07,522
phase. So some of these

4004
02:26:07,522 --> 02:26:09,324
properties are included because

4005
02:26:09,324 --> 02:26:11,250
to, to apply to this entire

4006
02:26:11,250 --> 02:26:13,897
neighborhood, you have to go

4007
02:26:13,897 --> 02:26:15,731
the full length of a block.

4008
02:26:15,731 --> 02:26:18,731
What a contextual overlay does

4009
02:26:19,702 --> 02:26:21,870
is it regulates, setbacks to be

4010
02:26:21,870 --> 02:26:24,270
consistent with the average

4011
02:26:24,439 --> 02:26:26,308
setbacks on either side of a

4012
02:26:26,308 --> 02:26:27,576
property. And it same thing

4013
02:26:27,576 --> 02:26:29,770
with building height. If you

4014
02:26:29,770 --> 02:26:31,179
look at the, the surrounding

4015
02:26:31,179 --> 02:26:34,179
building heights, when a new

4016
02:26:34,483 --> 02:26:35,851
house comes in, so that you're

4017
02:26:35,851 --> 02:26:37,386
looking at the average of

4018
02:26:37,386 --> 02:26:39,154
what's around it to determine

4019
02:26:39,154 --> 02:26:40,923
what would be allowed on a

4020
02:26:40,923 --> 02:26:42,725
particular property if it were

4021
02:26:42,725 --> 02:26:44,192
to be torn down and redeveloped.

4022
02:26:44,192 --> 02:26:45,994
And you look at the lot

4023
02:26:45,994 --> 02:26:48,130
coverage as well based on the

4024
02:26:48,130 --> 02:26:49,998
surrounding lot. So it sort of

4025
02:26:49,998 --> 02:26:52,100
keeps the new development in

4026
02:26:52,100 --> 02:26:54,500
character with the existing

4027
02:26:54,703 --> 02:26:56,380
development. There are a couple

4028
02:26:56,380 --> 02:26:58,173
different policies on this in

4029
02:26:58,173 --> 02:27:01,143
this area, but it's mainly

4030
02:27:01,143 --> 02:27:02,244
neighborhood maintenance policy.

4031
02:27:02,244 --> 02:27:03,612
The planningcommission did

4032
02:27:03,612 --> 02:27:05,612
recommend disapproval finding

4033
02:27:06,248 --> 02:27:07,249
that the standards were

4034
02:27:07,249 --> 02:27:09,649
unnecessary in the neighborhood

4035
02:27:11,186 --> 02:27:13,550
maintenance policy area. Where

4036
02:27:13,550 --> 02:27:15,290
large scale change is already

4037
02:27:15,290 --> 02:27:17,690
discouraged through that policy.

4038
02:27:18,427 --> 02:27:19,728
They also found that the

4039
02:27:19,728 --> 02:27:22,300
setbacks and height standards

4040
02:27:22,300 --> 02:27:23,165
in the overlay MAY not be

4041
02:27:23,165 --> 02:27:24,533
necessary based on other

4042
02:27:24,533 --> 02:27:25,967
standards already in the code

4043
02:27:25,967 --> 02:27:27,869
controlling height and setbacks.

4044
02:27:27,869 --> 02:27:28,904
So with that, the planning

4045
02:27:28,904 --> 02:27:30,606
commission recommended

4046
02:27:30,606 --> 02:27:32,730
disapproval.

4047
02:27:32,730 --> 02:27:33,642
All right. Thank

4048
02:27:33,642 --> 02:27:36,420
you, planning department, for

4049
02:27:36,411 --> 02:27:38,547
that presentation. Now to you,

4050
02:27:38,547 --> 02:27:40,547
MISS Webb.

4051
02:27:41,490 --> 02:27:42,217
a brief comment.

4052
02:27:42,217 --> 02:27:43,752
Now

4053
02:27:43,752 --> 02:27:45,870
I'd like to move approval.

4054
02:27:45,870 --> 02:27:47,189
Approval with a brief comment.

4055
02:27:47,189 --> 02:27:48,323
Is there a second? Okay. Go

4056
02:27:48,323 --> 02:27:49,724
ahead ma'am.

4057
02:27:49,724 --> 02:27:51,492
I rise today

4058
02:27:51,492 --> 02:27:52,961
disappointed not simply because

4059
02:27:52,961 --> 02:27:54,429
this overlay was voted down by

4060
02:27:54,429 --> 02:27:56,164
the planning commission, but

4061
02:27:56,164 --> 02:27:57,633
because it raises an important

4062
02:27:57,633 --> 02:28:00,330
question about the planning

4063
02:28:00,168 --> 02:28:01,404
process itself. Metro planning

4064
02:28:01,404 --> 02:28:03,390
staff spent months reviewing

4065
02:28:03,390 --> 02:28:04,941
this proposal. They analyzed

4066
02:28:04,941 --> 02:28:06,308
the data, considered the

4067
02:28:06,308 --> 02:28:08,760
existing character of the

4068
02:28:08,760 --> 02:28:10,760
neighborhood, evaluated the

4069
02:28:10,246 --> 02:28:11,680
goals of our adopted plans,

4070
02:28:11,680 --> 02:28:13,816
listen to the public input at

4071
02:28:13,816 --> 02:28:16,510
over four meetings over a year,

4072
02:28:16,510 --> 02:28:17,853
and ultimately recommended

4073
02:28:17,853 --> 02:28:19,255
approval. That recommendation

4074
02:28:19,255 --> 02:28:21,423
was not made lightly. It was

4075
02:28:21,423 --> 02:28:23,259
based on professional planning

4076
02:28:23,259 --> 02:28:25,761
principles and the facts before

4077
02:28:25,761 --> 02:28:27,496
them. Yet despite that thorough

4078
02:28:27,496 --> 02:28:29,332
review, the planning commission

4079
02:28:29,332 --> 02:28:30,332
voted against this

4080
02:28:30,332 --> 02:28:32,332
recommendation. When

4081
02:28:32,969 --> 02:28:34,403
professional staff reaches one

4082
02:28:34,403 --> 02:28:36,238
conclusion and the commission

4083
02:28:36,238 --> 02:28:38,340
reaches another, the public

4084
02:28:38,340 --> 02:28:40,509
deserves to understand why.

4085
02:28:40,509 --> 02:28:41,944
What planning principle changed?

4086
02:28:41,944 --> 02:28:44,344
What evidence outweighed the

4087
02:28:44,547 --> 02:28:45,581
staff's analysis? What

4088
02:28:45,581 --> 02:28:47,981
objective standard was applied

4089
02:28:48,500 --> 02:28:49,184
that justified rejecting a

4090
02:28:49,184 --> 02:28:51,184
recommendation developed

4091
02:28:51,287 --> 02:28:52,355
through months of careful,

4092
02:28:52,355 --> 02:28:54,590
careful work through the

4093
02:28:54,590 --> 02:28:56,358
planning department. Contextual

4094
02:28:56,358 --> 02:28:57,793
overlays are intended to

4095
02:28:57,793 --> 02:28:59,261
preserve the character and

4096
02:28:59,261 --> 02:29:00,429
identify of established

4097
02:29:00,429 --> 02:29:02,429
neighborhoods, while providing

4098
02:29:02,865 --> 02:29:03,966
clear expectations for future

4099
02:29:03,966 --> 02:29:06,168
development. They are tools

4100
02:29:06,168 --> 02:29:08,306
that give residents confidence

4101
02:29:08,306 --> 02:29:09,372
that growth can occur while

4102
02:29:09,372 --> 02:29:11,772
respecting the community they

4103
02:29:12,208 --> 02:29:13,609
have invested in for decades.

4104
02:29:13,609 --> 02:29:15,111
The residents who supported

4105
02:29:15,111 --> 02:29:17,460
this overlay were not asking to

4106
02:29:17,460 --> 02:29:19,810
stop progress. They were asking

4107
02:29:19,810 --> 02:29:20,516
for thoughtful, predictable

4108
02:29:20,516 --> 02:29:21,817
growth that reflects the

4109
02:29:21,817 --> 02:29:24,860
character of their neighborhood.

4110
02:29:24,860 --> 02:29:25,521
They participated in meetings,

4111
02:29:25,521 --> 02:29:27,990
worked with the planning staff,

4112
02:29:27,990 --> 02:29:30,159
and trusted the public process.

4113
02:29:30,159 --> 02:29:31,994
They deserve to know that their

4114
02:29:31,994 --> 02:29:33,462
voices and their professional

4115
02:29:33,462 --> 02:29:34,830
analysis supporting their

4116
02:29:34,830 --> 02:29:36,830
concerns will receive

4117
02:29:36,999 --> 02:29:38,400
meaningful consideration. As

4118
02:29:38,400 --> 02:29:40,235
elected officials, we should

4119
02:29:40,235 --> 02:29:42,405
value the expertise of our own

4120
02:29:42,405 --> 02:29:44,640
planning department. We MAY not

4121
02:29:44,640 --> 02:29:45,641
always agree with every

4122
02:29:45,641 --> 02:29:46,742
recommendation, but when we

4123
02:29:46,742 --> 02:29:48,544
depart from professional

4124
02:29:48,544 --> 02:29:50,680
guidance, we should be able to

4125
02:29:50,680 --> 02:29:52,581
clearly explain why this is

4126
02:29:52,581 --> 02:29:54,417
about morethan one overlay. It

4127
02:29:54,417 --> 02:29:57,186
is about public confidence in

4128
02:29:57,186 --> 02:29:58,254
our planning process. If

4129
02:29:58,254 --> 02:30:00,254
recommendations supported by

4130
02:30:00,422 --> 02:30:02,192
our staff can be dismissed in a

4131
02:30:02,192 --> 02:30:04,326
blink of an eye without a

4132
02:30:04,326 --> 02:30:06,162
compelling planning rationale,

4133
02:30:06,162 --> 02:30:07,596
residents MAY begin to question

4134
02:30:07,596 --> 02:30:09,996
whether participation in the

4135
02:30:10,199 --> 02:30:11,167
process truly matters. I remain

4136
02:30:11,167 --> 02:30:13,369
committed to protecting the

4137
02:30:13,369 --> 02:30:15,769
unique character of our

4138
02:30:15,938 --> 02:30:17,640
neighborhoods while allowing

4139
02:30:17,640 --> 02:30:18,974
responsible growth. I hope we

4140
02:30:18,974 --> 02:30:20,577
continue to have conversations

4141
02:30:20,577 --> 02:30:22,745
that are grounded in sound

4142
02:30:22,745 --> 02:30:24,581
planning, transparency and

4143
02:30:24,581 --> 02:30:26,981
fairness. Our residents deserve

4144
02:30:27,817 --> 02:30:28,952
a process that is consistent,

4145
02:30:28,952 --> 02:30:31,254
understandable, and worthy of

4146
02:30:31,254 --> 02:30:32,889
their trust. And I also would

4147
02:30:32,889 --> 02:30:34,390
like my my fellow council

4148
02:30:34,390 --> 02:30:37,930
people to know that I probably

4149
02:30:37,930 --> 02:30:39,696
have more density going on than

4150
02:30:39,696 --> 02:30:41,498
most of the areas. I have a

4151
02:30:41,498 --> 02:30:43,666
road that I probably got 500

4152
02:30:43,666 --> 02:30:45,368
units coming in on, but this is

4153
02:30:45,368 --> 02:30:47,570
an area that I think needs to

4154
02:30:47,570 --> 02:30:49,706
be saved and they want it to be

4155
02:30:49,706 --> 02:30:53,306
saved. And I just think the

4156
02:30:55,478 --> 02:30:56,246
planning staff.

4157
02:30:56,246 --> 02:30:58,246
MISS Hancock,

4158
02:30:58,348 --> 02:31:00,183
do you wish to cede some time

4159
02:31:00,183 --> 02:31:02,319
tomiss webb so that she MAY

4160
02:31:02,319 --> 02:31:03,520
finish? Okay. MISS Hancock is

4161
02:31:03,520 --> 02:31:04,521
saying yes, so go ahead and

4162
02:31:04,521 --> 02:31:05,421
proceed. MISS Webb.

4163
02:31:05,421 --> 02:31:07,323
I believe

4164
02:31:07,323 --> 02:31:08,758
the planning staff got it right.

4165
02:31:08,758 --> 02:31:10,627
And I believe the planning

4166
02:31:10,627 --> 02:31:13,270
commission was swayed by

4167
02:31:13,563 --> 02:31:16,563
certain persons agenda, and I'm.

4168
02:31:16,699 --> 02:31:20,299
I hate that because we are

4169
02:31:21,370 --> 02:31:22,538
elected to serve the residents. Is a district that I

4170
02:31:22,538 --> 02:31:23,706
was elected to serve and

4171
02:31:23,706 --> 02:31:25,208
represent the people that live

4172
02:31:25,208 --> 02:31:26,542
in tat ditrict. And that's

4173
02:31:26,542 --> 02:31:28,244
what I'm trying to do. And I

4174
02:31:28,244 --> 02:31:29,278
just want to personally thank

4175
02:31:29,278 --> 02:31:31,114
the planning department for

4176
02:31:31,114 --> 02:31:32,982
over a year of working with me.

4177
02:31:32,982 --> 02:31:34,751
And I'm sorry y'all's voices

4178
02:31:34,751 --> 02:31:36,519
were not heard, just like their

4179
02:31:36,519 --> 02:31:36,919
voices were not heard. Thank

4180
02:31:36,919 --> 02:31:38,688
you.

4181
02:31:38,688 --> 02:31:41,880
All right, MISS Hancock,

4182
02:31:41,991 --> 02:31:43,760
there is a residual 220 time if

4183
02:31:43,760 --> 02:31:44,394
you would like to speak at this

4184
02:31:44,394 --> 02:31:46,394
juncture.

4185
02:31:47,296 --> 02:31:49,980
Thank you. I was

4186
02:31:49,980 --> 02:31:50,900
elected to serve district nine,

4187
02:31:50,900 --> 02:31:53,102
which is only madison. I've

4188
02:31:53,102 --> 02:31:55,238
gotten a ton of emails about

4189
02:31:55,238 --> 02:31:56,739
this, asking me to support it,

4190
02:31:56,739 --> 02:31:58,841
which of course I do, because

4191
02:31:58,841 --> 02:32:00,978
this was planned by district

4192
02:32:00,978 --> 02:32:02,813
ten residents and it was

4193
02:32:02,813 --> 02:32:05,248
sponsored by the district ten

4194
02:32:05,248 --> 02:32:06,849
council member. So if we're not

4195
02:32:06,849 --> 02:32:09,353
here to serve the people we

4196
02:32:09,353 --> 02:32:11,521
were elected to serve, I don't

4197
02:32:11,521 --> 02:32:13,557
know what we're here to do. And

4198
02:32:13,557 --> 02:32:15,758
I rise in support of council

4199
02:32:15,758 --> 02:32:18,280
member webb, her constituents

4200
02:32:18,280 --> 02:32:19,763
in district ten and us letting

4201
02:32:19,763 --> 02:32:21,999
the district council members

4202
02:32:21,999 --> 02:32:23,367
handle what is only affecting

4203
02:32:23,367 --> 02:32:26,236
people in district ten on just

4204
02:32:26,236 --> 02:32:28,405
a very few streets. Thank you.

4205
02:32:28,405 --> 02:32:30,730
All right. Discussion continues

4206
02:32:30,730 --> 02:32:31,141
on the motion to approve on

4207
02:32:31,141 --> 02:32:32,242
second reading. Next in the

4208
02:32:32,242 --> 02:32:33,410
queue is council member

4209
02:32:33,410 --> 02:32:35,212
eastlake. You're recognized sir.

4210
02:32:35,212 --> 02:32:36,980
Thank you very much. It seems

4211
02:32:36,980 --> 02:32:39,516
at times the residents that

4212
02:32:39,516 --> 02:32:41,785
don't want their neighborhoods

4213
02:32:41,785 --> 02:32:43,787
multifamily are vilified. We

4214
02:32:43,787 --> 02:32:46,187
are against change. We're

4215
02:32:46,323 --> 02:32:48,723
against helping the, quote,

4216
02:32:49,226 --> 02:32:51,940
crisis, which I will dispute,

4217
02:32:51,940 --> 02:32:53,230
but they should not have their

4218
02:32:53,230 --> 02:32:54,865
voices overridden by council

4219
02:32:54,865 --> 02:32:56,733
member that does not represent

4220
02:32:56,733 --> 02:32:58,669
that district who seems to be

4221
02:32:58,669 --> 02:33:02,269
working on their own agenda. I

4222
02:33:03,707 --> 02:33:05,175
would hope as the as the we

4223
02:33:05,175 --> 02:33:06,610
work together here, that in

4224
02:33:06,610 --> 02:33:08,678
that case, there would be some

4225
02:33:08,678 --> 02:33:10,581
way to reach out to the council

4226
02:33:10,581 --> 02:33:12,249
member. I know sunshine laws,

4227
02:33:12,249 --> 02:33:13,383
but we have ways of talking to

4228
02:33:13,383 --> 02:33:15,486
one another without breaking

4229
02:33:15,486 --> 02:33:17,754
those laws. If there was that

4230
02:33:17,754 --> 02:33:19,656
much contention to the idea of

4231
02:33:19,656 --> 02:33:21,992
the contextual overlay, there

4232
02:33:21,992 --> 02:33:24,628
should have been some reach out,

4233
02:33:24,628 --> 02:33:26,363
some discussion, or some way to

4234
02:33:26,363 --> 02:33:28,465
help come to some type of

4235
02:33:28,465 --> 02:33:30,867
agreement, or at least work out

4236
02:33:30,867 --> 02:33:32,836
the differences or try to. But

4237
02:33:32,836 --> 02:33:34,704
inthis case, it was almost an

4238
02:33:34,704 --> 02:33:36,240
ambush, if you ask me. And I

4239
02:33:36,240 --> 02:33:37,741
don't feel like that's the way

4240
02:33:37,741 --> 02:33:39,610
we should treat each other and

4241
02:33:39,610 --> 02:33:40,911
I would hope and I do myself,

4242
02:33:40,911 --> 02:33:42,612
if I came to something like

4243
02:33:42,612 --> 02:33:43,714
that, I would certainly try to

4244
02:33:43,714 --> 02:33:45,480
reach out to somebody and try

4245
02:33:45,480 --> 02:33:46,616
to make sure that they

4246
02:33:46,616 --> 02:33:48,318
understood where I was coming

4247
02:33:48,318 --> 02:33:50,621
from, instead of just hit them

4248
02:33:50,621 --> 02:33:52,289
from without even any warning

4249
02:33:52,289 --> 02:33:54,357
or notice a sucker punch on

4250
02:33:54,357 --> 02:33:55,192
something like this.

4251
02:33:55,192 --> 02:33:56,693
all right,

4252
02:33:56,693 --> 02:33:58,128
next in the queue is council

4253
02:33:58,128 --> 02:33:58,729
member sepulveda. You're

4254
02:33:58,729 --> 02:33:59,530
recognized.

4255
02:33:59,530 --> 02:34:01,198
Thank you, vice

4256
02:34:01,198 --> 02:34:02,265
mayor. I do want to remind our

4257
02:34:02,265 --> 02:34:04,234
colleagues that we do have a

4258
02:34:04,234 --> 02:34:05,302
platform in which we could talk

4259
02:34:05,302 --> 02:34:07,671
to each other. It's a public

4260
02:34:07,671 --> 02:34:09,173
facing platform. So you all do

4261
02:34:09,173 --> 02:34:11,975
have the opportunity to utilize

4262
02:34:11,975 --> 02:34:12,977
that. If you all.

4263
02:34:12,977 --> 02:34:14,440
Want it is

4264
02:34:14,440 --> 02:34:14,712
called council connect.

4265
02:34:14,712 --> 02:34:16,447
Council

4266
02:34:16,447 --> 02:34:18,182
connect. You all can use that.

4267
02:34:18,182 --> 02:34:19,583
And I do want to remind

4268
02:34:19,583 --> 02:34:21,983
everyone that council member

4269
02:34:23,888 --> 02:34:26,456
horton did, was elected by our

4270
02:34:26,456 --> 02:34:29,727
body to represent us on the

4271
02:34:29,727 --> 02:34:31,962
planning commission. So he,

4272
02:34:31,962 --> 02:34:33,597
he does represent us. We, he

4273
02:34:33,597 --> 02:34:35,565
got the majority of the vote.

4274
02:34:35,565 --> 02:34:38,469
So I do want to name that as

4275
02:34:38,469 --> 02:34:40,905
well as the council member who

4276
02:34:40,905 --> 02:34:43,905
has the densest district on

4277
02:34:45,175 --> 02:34:49,146
this body. I do want to speak

4278
02:34:49,146 --> 02:34:51,682
on this matter at the moment.

4279
02:34:51,682 --> 02:34:54,585
My district is the second

4280
02:34:54,585 --> 02:34:55,953
smallest geographical council

4281
02:34:55,953 --> 02:34:57,821
district, and that's only

4282
02:34:57,821 --> 02:34:58,989
second to council member cash,

4283
02:34:58,989 --> 02:35:01,793
because he does have a couple

4284
02:35:01,793 --> 02:35:03,194
of universities. At a certain

4285
02:35:03,194 --> 02:35:04,695
point in time, those

4286
02:35:04,695 --> 02:35:06,163
universities empty out and a

4287
02:35:06,163 --> 02:35:08,566
lot of those students go back

4288
02:35:08,566 --> 02:35:11,680
home. My district does not. My

4289
02:35:11,680 --> 02:35:12,203
district stays. My district has

4290
02:35:12,203 --> 02:35:14,203
multi-generational households.

4291
02:35:15,406 --> 02:35:17,975
It is not a scary thing to have

4292
02:35:17,975 --> 02:35:19,410
a dense district. It is

4293
02:35:19,410 --> 02:35:21,810
something that happens over

4294
02:35:22,980 --> 02:35:25,850
time. And I do want to say that

4295
02:35:25,850 --> 02:35:27,485
for other districts to not have

4296
02:35:27,485 --> 02:35:29,486
the growth in just

4297
02:35:29,486 --> 02:35:31,956
their districts, a couple of us

4298
02:35:31,956 --> 02:35:34,158
have to have growth happen in

4299
02:35:34,158 --> 02:35:36,327
our districts. So for us to

4300
02:35:36,327 --> 02:35:38,563
carry the weight of growth, we

4301
02:35:38,563 --> 02:35:40,898
all have to share it, right?

4302
02:35:40,898 --> 02:35:44,498
And so we don't want to

4303
02:35:44,868 --> 02:35:46,403
continue to set a bad precedent.

4304
02:35:46,403 --> 02:35:49,273
It's just a matter of fact. We

4305
02:35:49,273 --> 02:35:52,176
can't have growth happening in

4306
02:35:52,176 --> 02:35:53,878
one district and not others. It

4307
02:35:53,878 --> 02:35:56,747
can't continue to happen that

4308
02:35:56,747 --> 02:35:58,949
way. We have to carry the

4309
02:35:58,949 --> 02:36:00,418
weight amongst ourselves, right?

4310
02:36:00,418 --> 02:36:03,418
We're not saying that we're

4311
02:36:03,620 --> 02:36:06,156
going to go and build big

4312
02:36:06,156 --> 02:36:07,558
towers of housing in one

4313
02:36:07,558 --> 02:36:09,426
district or the other. We're

4314
02:36:09,426 --> 02:36:11,562
saying that growth has to

4315
02:36:11,562 --> 02:36:14,562
happen in a very dedicated

4316
02:36:14,832 --> 02:36:16,634
manner, but we cannot do this

4317
02:36:16,634 --> 02:36:18,436
in in every single district

4318
02:36:18,436 --> 02:36:19,504
where we have contextual

4319
02:36:19,504 --> 02:36:21,710
overlays. And we're saying

4320
02:36:21,710 --> 02:36:23,874
ranch houses are the only ways

4321
02:36:23,874 --> 02:36:27,780
that we're that we're going to

4322
02:36:27,780 --> 02:36:29,580
have this district look like it.

4323
02:36:29,580 --> 02:36:32,850
It does not make sense. You

4324
02:36:32,850 --> 02:36:34,585
have younger people, you have

4325
02:36:34,585 --> 02:36:37,488
younger people, new people who

4326
02:36:37,488 --> 02:36:39,424
are moving into the city, who

4327
02:36:39,424 --> 02:36:40,859
cannot afford to purchase a

4328
02:36:40,859 --> 02:36:42,894
house. There are only two of us

4329
02:36:42,894 --> 02:36:45,950
on this council who are renters.

4330
02:36:45,950 --> 02:36:46,597
We are not representing this

4331
02:36:46,597 --> 02:36:48,565
city as a whole. This is onl

4332
02:36:48,565 --> 02:36:51,603
on second reading, but I did

4333
02:36:51,603 --> 02:36:54,500
not want us to continue down

4334
02:36:54,500 --> 02:36:56,608
this path. Without naming a

4335
02:36:56,608 --> 02:36:58,409
couple of things. There are

4336
02:36:58,409 --> 02:37:00,912
people who cannot afford to

4337
02:37:00,912 --> 02:37:01,980
live here.

4338
02:37:01,980 --> 02:37:02,180
Right next in the

4339
02:37:02,180 --> 02:37:03,280
queue.

4340
02:37:03,280 --> 02:37:04,616
Is councilmember allen.

4341
02:37:04,616 --> 02:37:04,950
You're recognized.

4342
02:37:04,950 --> 02:37:06,551
Thank you,

4343
02:37:06,551 --> 02:37:07,819
MADAM PRESIDENT. I rise in

4344
02:37:07,819 --> 02:37:09,220
support of this. I think that

4345
02:37:09,220 --> 02:37:12,550
it was a neighborhood driven.

4346
02:37:12,550 --> 02:37:12,189
Gosh, that was fast.

4347
02:37:12,189 --> 02:37:14,189
Three

4348
02:37:14,225 --> 02:37:15,693
minutes gone in a flash. We've

4349
02:37:15,693 --> 02:37:16,694
accelerated time.

4350
02:37:16,694 --> 02:37:17,829
This was a

4351
02:37:17,829 --> 02:37:19,330
neighborhood driven process,

4352
02:37:19,330 --> 02:37:21,980
which is the way many of these

4353
02:37:21,980 --> 02:37:23,935
things work best, I believe.

4354
02:37:23,935 --> 02:37:26,571
And and as we've heard from the

4355
02:37:26,571 --> 02:37:28,640
staff, this neighborhood is t

4356
02:37:28,640 --> 02:37:30,740
three neighborhood maintenance.

4357
02:37:30,740 --> 02:37:31,342
They did take one property out

4358
02:37:31,342 --> 02:37:33,344
that was neighborhood evolving.

4359
02:37:33,344 --> 02:37:35,480
So it's appropriate for this to

4360
02:37:35,480 --> 02:37:37,715
do conservation here. And if I

4361
02:37:37,715 --> 02:37:39,417
might ask the staff to. Well,

4362
02:37:39,417 --> 02:37:40,551
council member, the, the

4363
02:37:40,551 --> 02:37:42,951
sponsors already mentioned that

4364
02:37:42,987 --> 02:37:45,256
this was approved by the

4365
02:37:45,256 --> 02:37:46,591
planning staff, based on

4366
02:37:46,591 --> 02:37:48,260
nashville. Next principles and

4367
02:37:48,260 --> 02:37:49,860
good planning principles and

4368
02:37:49,860 --> 02:37:52,364
nashville next calls for a

4369
02:37:52,364 --> 02:37:54,165
variety of housing types. And

4370
02:37:54,165 --> 02:37:56,670
so we have as a city, we went

4371
02:37:56,670 --> 02:37:57,680
through a long several year

4372
02:37:57,680 --> 02:37:59,300
engagement to come up with

4373
02:37:59,300 --> 02:38:00,338
nashville next to say, how do

4374
02:38:00,338 --> 02:38:02,730
we drive our growth? And it's

4375
02:38:02,730 --> 02:38:03,908
not the same in area in every

4376
02:38:03,908 --> 02:38:05,710
area of town. And it's not

4377
02:38:05,710 --> 02:38:07,178
doesn't need to be high density

4378
02:38:07,178 --> 02:38:08,913
in every single part of town.

4379
02:38:08,913 --> 02:38:10,315
And there is a reason that we

4380
02:38:10,315 --> 02:38:11,415
made that choice, that we have

4381
02:38:11,415 --> 02:38:12,717
some neighborhood maintenance

4382
02:38:12,717 --> 02:38:14,318
where people can raise a family

4383
02:38:14,318 --> 02:38:16,321
and have a yard where you tell

4384
02:38:16,321 --> 02:38:17,588
kids to go out and play in the

4385
02:38:17,588 --> 02:38:19,323
yard while I'm fixing supper.

4386
02:38:19,323 --> 02:38:20,425
So it is important. I believe

4387
02:38:20,425 --> 02:38:22,425
in neighborhood maintenance

4388
02:38:23,940 --> 02:38:24,950
policy areas to preserve the

4389
02:38:24,950 --> 02:38:25,830
kind of housing that you can

4390
02:38:25,830 --> 02:38:27,665
raise a family in and in other

4391
02:38:27,665 --> 02:38:28,766
parts of areas, directly on

4392
02:38:28,766 --> 02:38:29,867
transit corridors, it's

4393
02:38:29,867 --> 02:38:31,236
appropriate to have high

4394
02:38:31,236 --> 02:38:33,700
density and apartments of

4395
02:38:33,700 --> 02:38:34,505
various sizes. We need all of

4396
02:38:34,505 --> 02:38:36,307
that. These neighbors have

4397
02:38:36,307 --> 02:38:38,509
worked together with their

4398
02:38:38,509 --> 02:38:40,645
council member and the planning

4399
02:38:40,645 --> 02:38:42,814
department to, to officially%

4400
02:38:42,814 --> 02:38:43,948
make a process where they can

4401
02:38:43,948 --> 02:38:45,716
preserve what they think is

4402
02:38:45,716 --> 02:38:47,180
important. And I appreciate the

4403
02:38:47,180 --> 02:38:48,553
process that they went to, and

4404
02:38:48,553 --> 02:38:49,287
I appreciate what the council

4405
02:38:49,287 --> 02:38:51,756
members done. And I support

4406
02:38:51,756 --> 02:38:53,258
this contextual design overlay.

4407
02:38:53,258 --> 02:38:54,792
Thank you, MISS Allen. Okay.

4408
02:38:54,792 --> 02:38:55,726
Next is council member welsh.

4409
02:38:55,726 --> 02:38:56,428
You're recognized.

4410
02:38:56,428 --> 02:38:58,428
Thank you,

4411
02:38:59,300 --> 02:39:00,464
vice mayor. I rise in

4412
02:39:00,464 --> 02:39:02,333
opposition actually to the

4413
02:39:02,333 --> 02:39:03,301
contextual overlay. I was in

4414
02:39:03,301 --> 02:39:04,736
the position, the exact

4415
02:39:04,736 --> 02:39:07,136
opposite position where the

4416
02:39:07,305 --> 02:39:09,807
planning staff approved an up

4417
02:39:09,807 --> 02:39:10,942
zone, substitute up zone in my

4418
02:39:10,942 --> 02:39:11,943
district that the planning

4419
02:39:11,943 --> 02:39:13,110
commission ultimately

4420
02:39:13,110 --> 02:39:14,745
disapproved. Now, their process

4421
02:39:14,745 --> 02:39:15,781
in the, in the commission was a

4422
02:39:15,781 --> 02:39:16,914
little different when they

4423
02:39:16,914 --> 02:39:18,820
didn't really actually look at

4424
02:39:18,820 --> 02:39:19,785
the merits of what we were

4425
02:39:19,785 --> 02:39:20,918
doing. They disapproved it on

4426
02:39:20,918 --> 02:39:22,888
something else. But I went it

4427
02:39:22,888 --> 02:39:24,122
was the opposite way for me. So

4428
02:39:24,122 --> 02:39:26,230
the planning commission does in

4429
02:39:26,230 --> 02:39:28,193
fact, many times disagree with

4430
02:39:28,193 --> 02:39:29,962
what the planning staff is

4431
02:39:29,962 --> 02:39:31,396
recommending, and that is their

4432
02:39:31,396 --> 02:39:33,565
job as the commission to

4433
02:39:33,565 --> 02:39:35,660
overlook and see how everything

4434
02:39:35,660 --> 02:39:37,135
works in conjunction with the

4435
02:39:37,135 --> 02:39:39,304
rest of our city. I have to

4436
02:39:39,304 --> 02:39:40,872
disagree with my colleague who

4437
02:39:40,872 --> 02:39:41,839
said that these things only

4438
02:39:41,839 --> 02:39:44,420
affect one district because

4439
02:39:44,420 --> 02:39:45,443
they do not. We know that

4440
02:39:45,443 --> 02:39:46,979
zoning in one district has a

4441
02:39:46,979 --> 02:39:48,714
very big effect on zoning. In

4442
02:39:48,714 --> 02:39:50,515
other districts, other

4443
02:39:50,515 --> 02:39:52,250
districts are forced to absorb

4444
02:39:52,250 --> 02:39:53,684
more growth because the growth

4445
02:39:53,684 --> 02:39:57,355
is here and we need to address

4446
02:39:57,355 --> 02:39:59,423
it. In this particular instance

4447
02:39:59,423 --> 02:40:02,928
where this property is on a

4448
02:40:02,928 --> 02:40:03,962
high volume transit corridor

4449
02:40:03,962 --> 02:40:05,797
where we are going to be

4450
02:40:05,797 --> 02:40:06,932
putting in things with choose

4451
02:40:06,932 --> 02:40:09,534
how you move. It's just not a

4452
02:40:09,534 --> 02:40:12,470
good fit. We cannot afford to

4453
02:40:12,470 --> 02:40:14,339
have less density on those

4454
02:40:14,339 --> 02:40:16,441
corridors. We are never

4455
02:40:16,441 --> 02:40:18,910
to solve our housing crisis

4456
02:40:18,910 --> 02:40:20,312
here and be able to provide the

4457
02:40:20,312 --> 02:40:21,546
housing that we need to. The

4458
02:40:21,546 --> 02:40:24,349
last numbers we heard were

4459
02:40:24,349 --> 02:40:25,484
anywhere between 50 and 90,000

4460
02:40:25,484 --> 02:40:27,419
houses in the next ten years to

4461
02:40:27,419 --> 02:40:30,155
address the growth in this city.

4462
02:40:30,155 --> 02:40:31,223
If we allow down zonings and

4463
02:40:31,223 --> 02:40:33,623
overlays that effectively cut

4464
02:40:34,250 --> 02:40:36,128
off large swaths of our county

4465
02:40:36,128 --> 02:40:38,630
to building to address the

4466
02:40:38,630 --> 02:40:40,532
growth that we need, that

4467
02:40:40,532 --> 02:40:42,660
doesn't mean that every

4468
02:40:42,660 --> 02:40:43,668
district and every parcel needs

4469
02:40:43,668 --> 02:40:47,380
to be built to the same level

4470
02:40:47,380 --> 02:40:50,638
of density, but we can't excise

4471
02:40:51,777 --> 02:40:53,711
large swaths of our, county to

4472
02:40:53,711 --> 02:40:56,111
new housing because ultimately

4473
02:40:56,681 --> 02:40:58,883
we will all pay for that in

4474
02:40:58,883 --> 02:40:59,751
increased traffic and other

4475
02:40:59,751 --> 02:41:01,190
problems that come down the

4476
02:41:01,190 --> 02:41:03,190
pike, increased homelessness,

4477
02:41:03,188 --> 02:41:03,955
all of it. So we need to be

4478
02:41:03,955 --> 02:41:05,223
looking more holistically at

4479
02:41:05,223 --> 02:41:06,992
all this. And I just think,

4480
02:41:06,992 --> 02:41:08,226
don't think that we are in a

4481
02:41:08,226 --> 02:41:10,610
position where down zoning,

4482
02:41:10,610 --> 02:41:11,796
down zoning and putting on

4483
02:41:11,796 --> 02:41:14,196
overlays that effectively cut

4484
02:41:15,660 --> 02:41:17,100
off sensible growth, are put in

4485
02:41:17,100 --> 02:41:19,404
place. So I will be voting

4486
02:41:19,404 --> 02:41:19,804
against this overlay.

4487
02:41:19,804 --> 02:41:21,539
Thank you,

4488
02:41:21,539 --> 02:41:22,641
MISS Hancock, your next in the

4489
02:41:22,641 --> 02:41:23,641
queue. You do have some

4490
02:41:23,641 --> 02:41:24,843
remaining time, but you have

4491
02:41:24,843 --> 02:41:27,243
already spoken. MISS Campbell

4492
02:41:27,812 --> 02:41:30,315
has yet to speak. I will go

4493
02:41:30,315 --> 02:41:31,160
ahead and do that. Yes. You're

4494
02:41:31,160 --> 02:41:31,916
recognized.

4495
02:41:31,916 --> 02:41:33,218
Thank you. One

4496
02:41:33,218 --> 02:41:34,986
thing I'd like to point out to

4497
02:41:34,986 --> 02:41:36,200
the folks that aren't super

4498
02:41:36,200 --> 02:41:37,722
familiar with madison is that

4499
02:41:37,722 --> 02:41:40,240
while this is adjacent to a

4500
02:41:40,240 --> 02:41:41,793
corridor on a corridor on which

4501
02:41:41,793 --> 02:41:43,862
we are currently building a lot

4502
02:41:43,862 --> 02:41:46,464
of dense housing all throughout

4503
02:41:46,464 --> 02:41:48,600
rivergate mall, it's also on

4504
02:41:48,600 --> 02:41:49,968
the other end, stopped by

4505
02:41:49,968 --> 02:41:51,403
cumberland river. There's very

4506
02:41:51,403 --> 02:41:52,904
few trees left in this area,

4507
02:41:52,904 --> 02:41:55,304
but these two streets

4508
02:41:55,807 --> 02:41:57,609
the middle of the the most of

4509
02:41:57,609 --> 02:41:59,645
these trees, and we're one of

4510
02:41:59,645 --> 02:42:00,945
three hot zones in the entire

4511
02:42:00,945 --> 02:42:02,281
county where we don't have

4512
02:42:02,281 --> 02:42:03,715
enough tree coverage, where we

4513
02:42:03,715 --> 02:42:05,451
have a higher rate

4514
02:42:05,451 --> 02:42:06,652
everything else and or

4515
02:42:06,652 --> 02:42:08,687
everywhere else, and where

4516
02:42:08,687 --> 02:42:10,955
nashville is asking to build,

4517
02:42:10,955 --> 02:42:12,591
you know, to plant more trees

4518
02:42:12,591 --> 02:42:14,926
elsewhere. So if we're going to

4519
02:42:14,926 --> 02:42:16,328
start extra densifying this

4520
02:42:16,328 --> 02:42:17,730
area, removing the trees, we're

4521
02:42:17,730 --> 02:42:19,164
going to be exacerbating the

4522
02:42:19,164 --> 02:42:21,330
health crisis we already have

4523
02:42:21,330 --> 02:42:22,835
in madison, which my community

4524
02:42:22,835 --> 02:42:24,937
is a plurality community, and

4525
02:42:24,937 --> 02:42:26,872
we don't need any more trouble

4526
02:42:26,872 --> 02:42:28,606
with with with our health,

4527
02:42:28,606 --> 02:42:30,676
health crisis that we have. We

4528
02:42:30,676 --> 02:42:31,810
need to lower asthma rates. We

4529
02:42:31,810 --> 02:42:33,645
need to plant more trees. We

4530
02:42:33,645 --> 02:42:35,140
need to have good air to

4531
02:42:35,140 --> 02:42:36,782
breathe. We're already building

4532
02:42:36,782 --> 02:42:38,283
all along the mall

4533
02:42:38,283 --> 02:42:39,819
area, which is an area that's

4534
02:42:39,819 --> 02:42:40,919
already parking lot. So I don't

4535
02:42:40,919 --> 02:42:42,755
mind building there. But why do

4536
02:42:42,755 --> 02:42:43,255
we need to bother the current

4537
02:42:43,255 --> 02:42:45,900
neighborhood with the

4538
02:42:45,900 --> 02:42:46,158
established trees? I think they

4539
02:42:46,158 --> 02:42:46,291
should stay. Thank you.

4540
02:42:46,291 --> 02:42:48,193
Thank

4541
02:42:48,193 --> 02:42:49,228
you, MISS Hancock. Next in the

4542
02:42:49,228 --> 02:42:50,796
queue is councilmember gamble.

4543
02:42:50,796 --> 02:42:51,196
You're recognized.

4544
02:42:51,196 --> 02:42:53,310
Thank you,

4545
02:42:53,310 --> 02:42:54,330
vice mayor. I just want to have

4546
02:42:54,330 --> 02:42:55,201
a clarification from the

4547
02:42:55,201 --> 02:42:57,336
planning table. We've heard a

4548
02:42:57,336 --> 02:42:58,503
lot about this affecting

4549
02:42:58,503 --> 02:43:00,606
density. So if the planning

4550
02:43:00,606 --> 02:43:02,408
table can confirm that the

4551
02:43:02,408 --> 02:43:04,176
contextual overlay does not

4552
02:43:04,176 --> 02:43:04,910
impact density, that's the

4553
02:43:04,910 --> 02:43:06,345
zoning.

4554
02:43:06,345 --> 02:43:07,513
MISS MR. Layman for the

4555
02:43:07,513 --> 02:43:09,381
planning department. Go ahead.

4556
02:43:09,381 --> 02:43:10,416
Yes that's correct. It does not

4557
02:43:10,416 --> 02:43:12,117
change the density. The base

4558
02:43:12,117 --> 02:43:14,517
zoning iswhat controls the

4559
02:43:14,586 --> 02:43:16,986
density. The contextual overlay

4560
02:43:17,189 --> 02:43:18,556
just affects the design of how

4561
02:43:18,556 --> 02:43:19,992
the house goes on that lot,

4562
02:43:19,992 --> 02:43:22,861
what the setbacks are, what the

4563
02:43:22,861 --> 02:43:24,930
height would be and the lot

4564
02:43:24,930 --> 02:43:26,532
coverage. So it does not affect

4565
02:43:26,532 --> 02:43:26,832
the overall density.

4566
02:43:26,832 --> 02:43:28,832
Thank you

4567
02:43:29,100 --> 02:43:31,401
for that clarification. And

4568
02:43:32,604 --> 02:43:35,441
also in regards to the style of

4569
02:43:35,441 --> 02:43:37,841
the housing, would this

4570
02:43:38,377 --> 02:43:40,579
contextual overlay restrict the

4571
02:43:40,579 --> 02:43:43,480
kind of, I guess, diversity of

4572
02:43:43,480 --> 02:43:45,250
housing types to only one

4573
02:43:45,250 --> 02:43:47,552
housing type? And if so, how

4574
02:43:47,552 --> 02:43:49,555
does that impact housing cost

4575
02:43:49,555 --> 02:43:49,855
when we look at affordable

4576
02:43:49,855 --> 02:43:50,956
housing.

4577
02:43:50,956 --> 02:43:51,389
MR. Layman, you

4578
02:43:51,389 --> 02:43:52,758
recognize.

4579
02:43:52,758 --> 02:43:54,860
Yes. It does not get

4580
02:43:54,860 --> 02:43:57,290
into the architectural design

4581
02:43:57,290 --> 02:43:58,964
of a home. It just like I said,

4582
02:43:58,964 --> 02:44:00,398
it controls setbacks, height

4583
02:44:00,398 --> 02:44:00,799
and lot coverage.

4584
02:44:00,799 --> 02:44:01,833
Thank you.

4585
02:44:01,833 --> 02:44:02,767
Thank you for that

4586
02:44:02,767 --> 02:44:03,935
clarification. I think that's

4587
02:44:03,935 --> 02:44:05,737
important for everybody to

4588
02:44:05,737 --> 02:44:07,539
understand. This is not

4589
02:44:07,539 --> 02:44:11,139
rezoning. This is not this does

4590
02:44:11,878 --> 02:44:13,278
not impact, density that

4591
02:44:13,278 --> 02:44:15,447
happens during the zoning

4592
02:44:15,447 --> 02:44:17,282
process. So if at any point

4593
02:44:17,282 --> 02:44:18,885
there was a zoning proposal, I

4594
02:44:18,885 --> 02:44:20,850
think a lot of these arguments

4595
02:44:20,850 --> 02:44:21,687
that have been made today would

4596
02:44:21,687 --> 02:44:23,388
be relevant. I don't think

4597
02:44:23,388 --> 02:44:25,190
there's so much relevant today.

4598
02:44:25,190 --> 02:44:26,358
And also, I just want to say,

4599
02:44:26,358 --> 02:44:28,226
although I'm not a renter now,

4600
02:44:28,226 --> 02:44:30,262
I've been a renter in my life

4601
02:44:30,262 --> 02:44:32,164
and I know that many of us have

4602
02:44:32,164 --> 02:44:33,499
probably been renters before,

4603
02:44:33,499 --> 02:44:35,168
even though we're not renters

4604
02:44:35,168 --> 02:44:37,200
now. So I just want to put that

4605
02:44:37,200 --> 02:44:38,937
out there to say just because

4606
02:44:38,937 --> 02:44:39,906
we're not renters today,

4607
02:44:39,906 --> 02:44:41,774
doesn't mean that we haven't

4608
02:44:41,774 --> 02:44:44,309
been a renter and empathize and

4609
02:44:44,309 --> 02:44:45,411
understand the need for having

4610
02:44:45,411 --> 02:44:46,512
multifamily for people to rent.

4611
02:44:46,512 --> 02:44:47,513
Thank you.

4612
02:44:47,513 --> 02:44:49,150
Thank you, MISS

4613
02:44:49,150 --> 02:44:49,615
Campbell. Next in the queue,

4614
02:44:49,615 --> 02:44:50,716
councilmember ellis, you're

4615
02:44:50,716 --> 02:44:51,117
recognized, ma'am.

4616
02:44:51,117 --> 02:44:52,919
Thank you,

4617
02:44:52,919 --> 02:44:54,119
MADAM PRESIDENT. Before we I

4618
02:44:54,119 --> 02:44:55,988
didn't know that we were going

4619
02:44:55,988 --> 02:44:57,189
to go back down the route of

4620
02:44:57,189 --> 02:44:58,291
saying a $400,000 home is

4621
02:44:58,291 --> 02:44:59,659
affordable.

4622
02:44:59,659 --> 02:45:01,590
What's the status

4623
02:45:01,590 --> 02:45:03,229
of the infrastructure plan that

4624
02:45:03,229 --> 02:45:03,930
we asked for when we had the

4625
02:45:03,930 --> 02:45:05,930
housing and infrastructure

4626
02:45:06,833 --> 02:45:07,600
study done?

4627
02:45:07,600 --> 02:45:09,350
MISS Ellis, that

4628
02:45:09,350 --> 02:45:11,637
was shared at planning and

4629
02:45:11,637 --> 02:45:13,390
zoning committee on monday, but

4630
02:45:13,390 --> 02:45:13,438
I'm sorry, I'll allow.

4631
02:45:13,438 --> 02:45:14,574
Is there

4632
02:45:14,574 --> 02:45:16,576
an update? Could you share.

4633
02:45:16,576 --> 02:45:18,410
With me lehman? Can you share

4634
02:45:18,410 --> 02:45:19,144
some timing information on that,

4635
02:45:19,144 --> 02:45:19,812
please, sir?

4636
02:45:19,812 --> 02:45:21,812
Yeah. I believe

4637
02:45:22,140 --> 02:45:23,116
that was a different,

4638
02:45:23,116 --> 02:45:24,182
discussion at the planning and

4639
02:45:24,182 --> 02:45:26,520
zoning committee. I would have

4640
02:45:26,520 --> 02:45:28,200
to, I would have to check on

4641
02:45:28,200 --> 02:45:29,288
the status and we can get back

4642
02:45:29,288 --> 02:45:31,560
to you on that. I don't know

4643
02:45:31,560 --> 02:45:32,910
the exact status of exactly

4644
02:45:32,910 --> 02:45:33,392
what you're referring to. So

4645
02:45:33,392 --> 02:45:35,161
yeah, the, the infrastructure

4646
02:45:35,161 --> 02:45:36,963
study, I don't I don't know

4647
02:45:36,963 --> 02:45:38,598
exactly where that stands. I

4648
02:45:38,598 --> 02:45:40,266
can get back to you on that,

4649
02:45:40,266 --> 02:45:41,300
though.

4650
02:45:41,300 --> 02:45:42,368
Okay. I apologize. I

4651
02:45:42,368 --> 02:45:44,870
thought that that had been

4652
02:45:44,870 --> 02:45:47,730
mentioned in committee. So I

4653
02:45:47,730 --> 02:45:48,140
regret my error.

4654
02:45:48,140 --> 02:45:49,410
So we don't

4655
02:45:49,410 --> 02:45:51,430
know when the infrastructure

4656
02:45:51,430 --> 02:45:52,478
study is going to be completed.

4657
02:45:52,478 --> 02:45:53,913
I don't have that information

4658
02:45:53,913 --> 02:45:55,681
tonight, but I can check and

4659
02:45:55,681 --> 02:45:57,517
get back to the council on that.

4660
02:45:57,517 --> 02:45:57,650
Okay. Please do. Thanks.

4661
02:45:57,650 --> 02:45:59,650
Thank

4662
02:46:02,555 --> 02:46:04,757
you, MISS Ellis. All right. Is

4663
02:46:04,757 --> 02:46:07,757
there any further discussion on

4664
02:46:08,261 --> 02:46:11,861
this motion to approve on its

4665
02:46:12,632 --> 02:46:15,468
second of three readings? Okay.

4666
02:46:15,468 --> 02:46:17,303
We are going to do this. Oh,

4667
02:46:17,303 --> 02:46:17,937
MISS Webb, go ahead, ma'am.

4668
02:46:17,937 --> 02:46:19,105
I

4669
02:46:19,105 --> 02:46:20,940
just would like to point out

4670
02:46:20,940 --> 02:46:22,141
that a lot of these. This

4671
02:46:22,141 --> 02:46:23,542
neighborhood is still on septic

4672
02:46:23,542 --> 02:46:25,211
and can't be built high density

4673
02:46:25,211 --> 02:46:27,346
at this point. And I would like

4674
02:46:27,346 --> 02:46:29,515
a roll call, please. Please.

4675
02:46:29,515 --> 02:46:31,784
Okay. MISS Webb has request a

4676
02:46:31,784 --> 02:46:34,286
roll call. It requires two

4677
02:46:34,286 --> 02:46:36,686
seconds. Three seconds. Okay.

4678
02:46:38,491 --> 02:46:41,393
All righty. Okay. So, MR. Clerk,

4679
02:46:41,393 --> 02:46:44,993
if you would please open the

4680
02:46:45,397 --> 02:46:48,997
vote for the motion to approve

4681
02:46:49,340 --> 02:46:50,360
1416 on its second reading.

4682
02:46:50,360 --> 02:46:52,304
Colleagues, at this juncture,

4683
02:46:52,304 --> 02:46:55,304
this requires a simple majority.

4684
02:46:55,808 --> 02:46:57,209
On second, you heard about the

4685
02:46:57,209 --> 02:46:58,744
disapproval of planning

4686
02:46:58,744 --> 02:47:00,790
commission. That is on the

4687
02:47:00,790 --> 02:47:02,140
final reading that elevates the

4688
02:47:02,140 --> 02:47:04,414
vote threshold disapprove bill

4689
02:47:04,784 --> 02:47:06,252
to 27 on the third and final

4690
02:47:06,252 --> 02:47:07,654
reading. But on the second

4691
02:47:07,654 --> 02:47:10,654
reading, this is a simple

4692
02:47:23,837 --> 02:47:25,837
majority.

4693
02:47:43,923 --> 02:47:46,323
All votes. And, MR.

4694
02:47:46,993 --> 02:47:49,396
Clerk, please show the vote.

4695
02:47:49,396 --> 02:47:52,396
Okay. This motion has passed

4696
02:47:52,765 --> 02:47:55,267
with 21 votes in favor, seven

4697
02:47:55,267 --> 02:47:57,667
against and two abstentions.

4698
02:47:57,737 --> 02:47:59,205
This will move on to its third

4699
02:47:59,205 --> 02:48:00,907
reading, at which point it will

4700
02:48:00,907 --> 02:48:03,907
be referred into our planning

4701
02:48:04,911 --> 02:48:07,911
and zoning committee. All right.

4702
02:48:08,140 --> 02:48:09,582
Next is agenda item ten. I know

4703
02:48:09,582 --> 02:48:10,783
MISS Webb, it was similar, but

4704
02:48:10,783 --> 02:48:12,551
you've got another item about

4705
02:48:12,551 --> 02:48:14,319
to come up here. I know you did

4706
02:48:14,319 --> 02:48:17,156
ask to take them together, but

4707
02:48:17,156 --> 02:48:21,356
we cannot do that. So this is

4708
02:48:22,162 --> 02:48:23,663
agenda item ten. Ordinance bl

Thank you very much. My name is

ted montminy. My wife lori and

4749
02:49:40,340 --> 02:49:42,108
I live at 401 cumberland hills

4750
02:49:42,108 --> 02:49:43,276
drive. And first of all, I'd

4751
02:49:43,276 --> 02:49:44,344
like to thank you, jennifer,

4752
02:49:44,344 --> 02:49:46,120
very, very much for bringing

4753
02:49:46,120 --> 02:49:47,214
this to council. And it's in

4754
02:49:47,214 --> 02:49:49,820
the best behalf of our

4755
02:49:49,820 --> 02:49:50,483
neighborhood. I do want to note

4756
02:49:50,483 --> 02:49:52,285
that my wife and I, we did send

4757
02:49:52,285 --> 02:49:53,720
an email last night to the

4758
02:49:53,720 --> 02:49:54,788
metro council requesting its

4759
02:49:54,788 --> 02:49:55,922
approval. And there were

4760
02:49:55,922 --> 02:49:57,456
several of our neighbors that

4761
02:49:57,456 --> 02:49:58,591
were not able to make the

4762
02:49:58,591 --> 02:50:00,394
meeting tonight, but they also

4763
02:50:00,394 --> 02:50:01,895
sent emails as well. So that

4764
02:50:01,895 --> 02:50:05,898
will all be on record of their

4765
02:50:05,898 --> 02:50:07,301
request for such approval.

4766
02:50:07,301 --> 02:50:09,701
Three our existing neighborhood

4767
02:50:11,237 --> 02:50:12,238
is, is, is the form character.

4768
02:50:12,238 --> 02:50:14,410
And the main reason when we

4769
02:50:14,410 --> 02:50:14,974
moved to nashville nine years

4770
02:50:14,974 --> 02:50:16,976
ago, we had grandchildren

4771
02:50:16,976 --> 02:50:18,111
coming along that we love the

4772
02:50:18,111 --> 02:50:19,913
neighborhood, we love to have

4773
02:50:19,913 --> 02:50:21,347
the acre lots because like you

4774
02:50:21,347 --> 02:50:22,382
said, playing baseball,

4775
02:50:22,382 --> 02:50:23,583
throwing football, all the

4776
02:50:23,583 --> 02:50:25,418
things we do with the grandkids

4777
02:50:25,418 --> 02:50:27,354
in the backyard is, is, is one

4778
02:50:27,354 --> 02:50:29,723
of the main reasons we moved to

4779
02:50:29,723 --> 02:50:31,758
this neighborhood. I will say

4780
02:50:31,758 --> 02:50:32,625
that there's, I did hear some

4781
02:50:32,625 --> 02:50:35,625
comments when I watched the

4782
02:50:36,129 --> 02:50:37,564
youtube video that I found very

4783
02:50:37,564 --> 02:50:39,320
disheartening. I did see that

4784
02:50:39,320 --> 02:50:40,834
commissioner horton commented

4785
02:50:40,834 --> 02:50:42,335
that it would deny more

4786
02:50:42,335 --> 02:50:43,903
expensive housing. And I'm

4787
02:50:43,903 --> 02:50:45,400
thinking to myself, isn't that

4788
02:50:45,400 --> 02:50:46,606
one of the reasons we are

4789
02:50:46,606 --> 02:50:49,750
trying to make more affordable

4790
02:50:49,750 --> 02:50:50,510
housing for nashville people? I

4791
02:50:50,510 --> 02:50:52,346
also did on the youtube video

4792
02:50:52,346 --> 02:50:54,147
saw, commissioner smith

4793
02:50:54,147 --> 02:50:55,949
commented regarding why should,

4794
02:50:55,949 --> 02:50:58,585
why should people have such

4795
02:50:58,585 --> 02:51:01,388
large lots. I don't understand

4796
02:51:01,388 --> 02:51:02,550
that at again, the

4797
02:51:02,550 --> 02:51:03,456
existing neighborhood is

4798
02:51:03,456 --> 02:51:04,892
fabulous. We love it. I've

4799
02:51:04,892 --> 02:51:06,793
always wanted to have a, a

4800
02:51:06,793 --> 02:51:08,895
large lot where I had

4801
02:51:08,895 --> 02:51:11,970
justification for riding more

4802
02:51:11,970 --> 02:51:13,166
and, and it reminds me of the,

4803
02:51:13,166 --> 02:51:15,368
of the house and neighborhood

4804
02:51:15,368 --> 02:51:16,903
where I grew up with, in my

4805
02:51:16,903 --> 02:51:18,571
younger years. And I think

4806
02:51:18,571 --> 02:51:21,571
there's plenty of housing going

4807
02:51:22,575 --> 02:51:23,743
on. I did look at some of the,

4808
02:51:23,743 --> 02:51:25,412
on the websites. I did see that

4809
02:51:25,412 --> 02:51:27,213
there are 12 seconds, like

4810
02:51:27,213 --> 02:51:28,715
there's probably like 6600

4811
02:51:28,715 --> 02:51:30,851
homes on the market right now,

4812
02:51:30,851 --> 02:51:32,180
over 12,000 apartments that are

4813
02:51:32,180 --> 02:51:34,210
available. The rivergate malls

4814
02:51:34,210 --> 02:51:35,555
can bring a lot of items as

4815
02:51:35,555 --> 02:51:37,357
well. But again, I request your

4816
02:51:37,357 --> 02:51:38,559
approval. We'd love to keep the

4817
02:51:38,559 --> 02:51:40,293
neighborhood as it is. And

4818
02:51:40,293 --> 02:51:40,494
thank you very much for your

4819
02:51:40,494 --> 02:51:41,694
time.

4820
02:51:41,694 --> 02:51:43,229
Appreciate it. Thank you.

4821
02:51:43,229 --> 02:51:45,632
All right, go ahead, ma'am.

4822
02:51:45,632 --> 02:51:46,320
You're recognized.

4823
02:51:46,320 --> 02:51:47,935
Hello,

4824
02:51:47,935 --> 02:51:48,135
council members and members.

4825
02:51:48,135 --> 02:51:50,135
Of

4826
02:51:50,270 --> 02:51:53,870
the public. My name is doctor

4827
02:51:54,240 --> 02:51:57,430
nancy wilson. I live at 414

4828
02:51:57,430 --> 02:51:58,911
northside drive, and I am

4829
02:51:58,911 --> 02:52:00,911
supporting this contextual

4830
02:52:04,317 --> 02:52:06,120
overlay. I am a gentrification

4831
02:52:06,120 --> 02:52:09,120
and housing researcher, and I

4832
02:52:09,389 --> 02:52:11,291
would like to make one thing,

4833
02:52:11,291 --> 02:52:13,691
of importance. Nashville does

4834
02:52:13,760 --> 02:52:16,597
not have a housing crisis.

4835
02:52:16,597 --> 02:52:18,997
Nashville has an affordability

4836
02:52:19,650 --> 02:52:21,340
housing crisis. We have lots of

4837
02:52:21,340 --> 02:52:23,434
housing being developed all

4838
02:52:24,104 --> 02:52:26,706
over the county. We have a lot

4839
02:52:26,706 --> 02:52:29,106
of vacant housing because

4840
02:52:29,175 --> 02:52:31,110
people cannot afford to

4841
02:52:31,110 --> 02:52:32,412
purchase these homes. If you

4842
02:52:32,412 --> 02:52:33,914
drive anywhere in nashville,

4843
02:52:33,914 --> 02:52:36,160
you will see lots of

4844
02:52:36,160 --> 02:52:39,160
development going up. And they

4845
02:52:39,219 --> 02:52:41,210
are a lot of units that are not

4846
02:52:41,210 --> 02:52:43,923
occupied. So I'd like to

4847
02:52:43,923 --> 02:52:45,425
clarify that the overlay is

4848
02:52:45,425 --> 02:52:47,825
absolutely necessary in order

4849
02:52:49,429 --> 02:52:51,932
to to protect the historical

4850
02:52:51,932 --> 02:52:54,401
character of the homes I. My

4851
02:52:54,401 --> 02:52:56,102
house is almost 60 years old

4852
02:52:56,102 --> 02:53:00,302
and I'm dealing with a lot of,

4853
02:53:00,541 --> 02:53:02,276
you know, issues in

4854
02:53:02,276 --> 02:53:04,477
bring it to today's standards.

4855
02:53:04,477 --> 02:53:05,913
We also have economic

4856
02:53:05,913 --> 02:53:07,881
affordability. And also one

4857
02:53:07,881 --> 02:53:10,551
thing that I have not heard at

4858
02:53:10,551 --> 02:53:12,319
all tonight is about. No one is

4859
02:53:12,319 --> 02:53:14,319
speaking about preventing

4860
02:53:15,589 --> 02:53:17,390
gentrification. It is the

4861
02:53:17,390 --> 02:53:19,960
intent. And I know a lot of our

4862
02:53:19,960 --> 02:53:22,950
neighbors do support this, this,

4863
02:53:22,950 --> 02:53:24,297
this overlay to protect not

4864
02:53:24,297 --> 02:53:26,399
only us, but something that no

4865
02:53:26,399 --> 02:53:28,935
one has spoken about at all.

4866
02:53:28,935 --> 02:53:31,138
The wildlife. We have lots of

4867
02:53:31,138 --> 02:53:32,139
days in the community now that

4868
02:53:32,139 --> 02:53:33,974
because there's a new

4869
02:53:33,974 --> 02:53:36,176
development behind us that has

4870
02:53:36,176 --> 02:53:38,311
55 units, they've lost the

4871
02:53:38,311 --> 02:53:40,213
place of where they would roam.

4872
02:53:40,213 --> 02:53:42,316
And yes, they attack my plants

4873
02:53:42,316 --> 02:53:44,840
and I throw stones at them

4874
02:53:44,840 --> 02:53:46,186
occasionally because I want my

4875
02:53:46,186 --> 02:53:48,880
flowers to attract birds and

4876
02:53:48,880 --> 02:53:50,880
butterflies and hummingbirds,

4877
02:53:50,123 --> 02:53:52,326
etcetera. But we need this

4878
02:53:52,326 --> 02:53:55,161
overlay to protect the housing

4879
02:53:55,161 --> 02:53:57,798
so we don't have, what I see

4880
02:53:57,798 --> 02:53:58,465
happening. Thank you.

4881
02:53:58,465 --> 02:54:00,465
Your time

4882
02:54:02,102 --> 02:54:04,938
is concluded. MISS Ellis, we

4883
02:54:04,938 --> 02:54:07,730
don't clap for public hearing

4884
02:54:07,730 --> 02:54:08,575
speakers. Is there anyone else

4885
02:54:08,575 --> 02:54:10,844
seeking to be recognized to

4886
02:54:10,844 --> 02:54:12,480
speak in support? All right.

4887
02:54:12,480 --> 02:54:13,947
Seeing none, we'll move on to

4888
02:54:13,947 --> 02:54:15,947
opposition. You're recognized.

4889
02:54:16,830 --> 02:54:19,653
I hope sam ellis can clap for

4890
02:54:19,653 --> 02:54:21,121
me as well. I take issue with

4891
02:54:21,121 --> 02:54:22,690
the last comment that we don't

4892
02:54:22,690 --> 02:54:24,910
just have a housing crisis, but

4893
02:54:24,910 --> 02:54:25,693
an affordability crisis. You

4894
02:54:25,693 --> 02:54:26,894
know, we've studied it. We need

4895
02:54:26,894 --> 02:54:28,695
90,000 new homes in the next

4896
02:54:28,695 --> 02:54:30,597
ten years. And unfortunately,

4897
02:54:30,597 --> 02:54:33,100
we're not making that rate that

4898
02:54:33,100 --> 02:54:34,501
we need to. And yes, you know,

4899
02:54:34,501 --> 02:54:35,969
we also are saying that we need

4900
02:54:35,969 --> 02:54:37,204
20,000 affordable housing units.

4901
02:54:37,204 --> 02:54:39,173
i think that's an undercount. I

4902
02:54:39,173 --> 02:54:40,240
think we need a lot more than

4903
02:54:40,240 --> 02:54:43,240
that, especially the way we

4904
02:54:44,211 --> 02:54:46,611
define affordable housing. You

4905
02:54:47,814 --> 02:54:49,249
know, I. MISS Webb, like

4906
02:54:49,249 --> 02:54:50,717
councilmember webb, I, you're

4907
02:54:50,717 --> 02:54:52,753
not going to up zone this,

4908
02:54:52,753 --> 02:54:54,288
these streets, right. And so,

4909
02:54:54,288 --> 02:54:56,123
you know, these, your, your,

4910
02:54:56,123 --> 02:54:57,991
your, the people that lve

4911
02:54:57,991 --> 02:54:59,159
there should take confidence in

4912
02:54:59,159 --> 02:55:01,929
that. Like you're not going to

4913
02:55:01,929 --> 02:55:03,263
do that. And so I think, you

4914
02:55:03,263 --> 02:55:05,650
know, the precedent that we're

4915
02:55:05,650 --> 02:55:08,665
setting here and it's not a

4916
02:55:08,969 --> 02:55:10,470
good one. You know, we need,

4917
02:55:10,470 --> 02:55:11,672
the people to be able to

4918
02:55:11,672 --> 02:55:13,573
continue to live there, but if

4919
02:55:13,573 --> 02:55:15,442
they want to build a new home

4920
02:55:15,442 --> 02:55:16,643
there, if they, if they're, if

4921
02:55:16,643 --> 02:55:17,678
they continue to have their

4922
02:55:17,678 --> 02:55:19,479
kids and their grandkids and

4923
02:55:19,479 --> 02:55:20,680
they want to build a larger

4924
02:55:20,680 --> 02:55:21,648
house so they can maintain, you

4925
02:55:21,648 --> 02:55:24,480
know, generational living, they

4926
02:55:25,152 --> 02:55:26,420
should be able to do that.

4927
02:55:26,420 --> 02:55:28,188
That's the kind of things that

4928
02:55:28,188 --> 02:55:30,357
this is going to keep from,

4929
02:55:30,357 --> 02:55:31,892
from happening is people, being

4930
02:55:31,892 --> 02:55:33,930
able to remodel their homes and

4931
02:55:33,930 --> 02:55:36,930
allow themselves to stay in

4932
02:55:36,730 --> 02:55:38,198
their homes for generations. I,

4933
02:55:38,198 --> 02:55:41,501
I see you shaking your head

4934
02:55:41,501 --> 02:55:42,803
there. I think I, that

4935
02:55:42,803 --> 02:55:44,705
you talk so much about the

4936
02:55:44,705 --> 02:55:47,105
housing crisis council member,

4937
02:55:47,207 --> 02:55:48,308
just sometimes it feels like,

4938
02:55:48,308 --> 02:55:51,308
there are certain issues where

4939
02:55:51,445 --> 02:55:52,712
it's like, you won't work with,

4940
02:55:52,712 --> 02:55:54,748
work with people on andit's

4941
02:55:54,748 --> 02:55:56,716
like working against solving it.

4942
02:55:56,716 --> 02:55:58,385
And I get like, this feels like

4943
02:55:58,385 --> 02:56:00,487
it's a little drop in the

4944
02:56:00,487 --> 02:56:01,521
bucket, but it's, it's a big

4945
02:56:01,521 --> 02:56:03,723
issue and every little bit

4946
02:56:03,723 --> 02:56:05,723
counts. Thank you.

4947
02:56:07,294 --> 02:56:08,828
All right.

4948
02:56:08,828 --> 02:56:10,564
Seeing no one else seeking to

4949
02:56:10,564 --> 02:56:13,564
be recognized to speak in

4950
02:56:13,834 --> 02:56:16,736
opposition, I will declare the

4951
02:56:16,736 --> 02:56:18,710
public hearing closed. MISS

4952
02:56:18,710 --> 02:56:19,873
Webb, at this time it is

4953
02:56:19,873 --> 02:56:21,308
similar to what had transpired

4954
02:56:21,308 --> 02:56:22,810
previously. It being a

4955
02:56:22,810 --> 02:56:23,910
disapproved bill immediately

4956
02:56:23,910 --> 02:56:25,312
subsequent to the public

4957
02:56:25,312 --> 02:56:26,414
hearing, we will have the

4958
02:56:26,414 --> 02:56:27,514
presentation of the planning

4959
02:56:27,514 --> 02:56:29,716
department, after which you

4960
02:56:29,716 --> 02:56:32,716
will be recognized. Okay. All

4961
02:56:33,253 --> 02:56:35,121
right. It is the planning table,

4962
02:56:35,121 --> 02:56:35,422
MR. Lehman. Go ahead sir.

4963
02:56:35,422 --> 02:56:37,422
Yes.

4964
02:56:38,759 --> 02:56:40,461
This is bill 2026 1420. It's a

4965
02:56:40,461 --> 02:56:41,561
request to apply a contextual

4966
02:56:41,561 --> 02:56:43,664
overlay district to the

4967
02:56:43,664 --> 02:56:46,664
property shown in yellow south

4968
02:56:46,968 --> 02:56:49,690
of gallatin pike. These

4969
02:56:49,690 --> 02:56:51,272
properties are currently zoned

4970
02:56:51,272 --> 02:56:54,272
rs40, mostly rs 40 with one

4971
02:56:56,644 --> 02:56:59,179
property rr20. The request is

4972
02:56:59,179 --> 02:57:01,682
to apply the overlay and it

4973
02:57:01,682 --> 02:57:02,750
falls primarily within the

4974
02:57:02,750 --> 02:57:04,750
suburban neighborhood

4975
02:57:05,252 --> 02:57:06,687
maintenance policy. And similar

4976
02:57:06,687 --> 02:57:08,489
to the other case, the

4977
02:57:08,489 --> 02:57:10,357
contextual overlay provides

4978
02:57:10,357 --> 02:57:12,920
design standards in residential

4979
02:57:12,920 --> 02:57:13,928
areas, is intended to maintain

4980
02:57:13,928 --> 02:57:16,328
and protect the neighborhood

4981
02:57:18,566 --> 02:57:20,835
form and character. It is to be

4982
02:57:20,835 --> 02:57:22,603
applied for the entire block

4983
02:57:22,603 --> 02:57:23,971
and it controls setbacks,

4984
02:57:23,971 --> 02:57:26,107
building height and lot

4985
02:57:26,107 --> 02:57:27,575
coverage. The planning

4986
02:57:27,575 --> 02:57:29,750
commission recommended

4987
02:57:29,750 --> 02:57:30,778
disapproval finding the

4988
02:57:30,778 --> 02:57:32,120
standards to be unnecessary in

4989
02:57:32,120 --> 02:57:34,120
the neighborhood maintenance

4990
02:57:34,480 --> 02:57:35,849
policy area, where large scale

4991
02:57:35,849 --> 02:57:38,249
change is discouraged already.

4992
02:57:38,386 --> 02:57:39,787
And they also found that the

4993
02:57:39,787 --> 02:57:41,322
setback and height standards of

4994
02:57:41,322 --> 02:57:42,690
the overlay MAY not be

4995
02:57:42,690 --> 02:57:44,125
necessary based on other

4996
02:57:44,125 --> 02:57:45,593
standards already in the zoning

4997
02:57:45,593 --> 02:57:46,694
code controlling height and

4998
02:57:46,694 --> 02:57:48,862
setbacks. So with that, the

4999
02:57:48,862 --> 02:57:49,930
planning commission recommended

5000
02:57:49,930 --> 02:57:50,964
disapproval.

5001
02:57:50,964 --> 02:57:52,633
all right. Thank

5002
02:57:52,633 --> 02:57:54,301
you, MR. Lehman, for the report

5003
02:57:54,301 --> 02:57:56,770
of the planning department. And

5004
02:57:56,770 --> 02:57:58,872
now, MISS Webb, MADAM Sponsor,

5005
02:57:58,872 --> 02:57:59,306
you are recognized for a motion

5006
02:57:59,306 --> 02:58:00,841
on your bill.

5007
02:58:00,841 --> 02:58:02,900
Do you are they

5008
02:58:02,900 --> 02:58:03,878
going to speak first or. I'm

5009
02:58:03,878 --> 02:58:04,145
going to speak first. People in

5010
02:58:04,145 --> 02:58:05,712
the queue.

5011
02:58:05,712 --> 02:58:07,147
No, you speak first.

5012
02:58:07,147 --> 02:58:07,347
Approval with a brief comment.

5013
02:58:07,347 --> 02:58:09,347
Okay.

5014
02:58:09,750 --> 02:58:11,919
And is there a second?

5015
02:58:11,919 --> 02:58:12,553
Okay. Go ahead.

5016
02:58:12,553 --> 02:58:14,553
Okay. There's

5017
02:58:14,755 --> 02:58:16,323
two things that I want to let

5018
02:58:16,323 --> 02:58:17,524
people know. Okay. One thing

5019
02:58:17,524 --> 02:58:18,792
I'll talk about density, but

5020
02:58:18,792 --> 02:58:20,561
you just heard from the

5021
02:58:20,561 --> 02:58:22,363
planning department that this

5022
02:58:22,363 --> 02:58:23,564
does not affect density. So

5023
02:58:23,564 --> 02:58:24,565
it's not going to make more

5024
02:58:24,565 --> 02:58:26,330
houses because it doesn't

5025
02:58:26,330 --> 02:58:27,334
affect density. Second of all,

5026
02:58:27,334 --> 02:58:30,934
I don't really like to talk

5027
02:58:31,672 --> 02:58:33,474
about my personal job, but just

5028
02:58:33,474 --> 02:58:36,777
five miles down the street, I

5029
02:58:36,777 --> 02:58:38,479
built a $350,000 homes. And you

5030
02:58:38,479 --> 02:58:39,947
know, the cheaper the home, the

5031
02:58:39,947 --> 02:58:40,982
cheaper the profit. But I

5032
02:58:40,982 --> 02:58:43,317
wanted to give something back

5033
02:58:43,317 --> 02:58:45,786
to my community, and I'm trying

5034
02:58:45,786 --> 02:58:47,870
to work with indot. If I get

5035
02:58:47,870 --> 02:58:48,989
that worked out, I can build

5036
02:58:48,989 --> 02:58:51,825
another 15 right there in my

5037
02:58:51,825 --> 02:58:53,427
area. But when y'all make it

5038
02:58:53,427 --> 02:58:55,950
hard for some of y'all excuse

5039
02:58:55,950 --> 02:58:56,597
me, when some people come in

5040
02:58:56,597 --> 02:58:57,998
here and they push their own

5041
02:58:57,998 --> 02:58:59,733
agenda without even knowing the

5042
02:58:59,733 --> 02:59:00,868
districts or even not knowing

5043
02:59:00,868 --> 02:59:02,302
what the council person is

5044
02:59:02,302 --> 02:59:05,239
doing in their district. Y'all

5045
02:59:05,239 --> 02:59:07,307
make it hard for us to do

5046
02:59:07,307 --> 02:59:09,876
things that we want to do. It

5047
02:59:09,876 --> 02:59:12,346
just I don't get it, people. I

5048
02:59:12,346 --> 02:59:14,548
just, you know, I don't get it.

5049
02:59:14,548 --> 02:59:16,850
I move for approval. Roll call,

5050
02:59:16,850 --> 02:59:17,818
vote please.

5051
02:59:17,818 --> 02:59:18,986
okay. How many

5052
02:59:18,986 --> 02:59:20,854
folks support the roll call? If

5053
02:59:20,854 --> 02:59:23,123
you raise your hand, it takes

5054
02:59:23,123 --> 02:59:25,726
three. Okay. All right. That is

5055
02:59:25,726 --> 02:59:28,595
sufficient. There is two folks

5056
02:59:28,595 --> 02:59:29,329
in the queue for purposes of

5057
02:59:29,329 --> 02:59:31,650
discussion. So we're on a

5058
02:59:31,650 --> 02:59:32,933
motion to approve at this time.

5059
02:59:32,933 --> 02:59:35,350
Once we do move to the vote,

5060
02:59:35,350 --> 02:59:36,770
the roll call request is

5061
02:59:36,770 --> 02:59:37,871
sufficiently seconded. Next in

5062
02:59:37,871 --> 02:59:40,871
the queue is council member%

5063
02:59:41,175 --> 02:59:43,575
styles. You recognized ma'am.

5064
02:59:47,314 --> 02:59:48,682
Thank you very much. I struggle.

5065
02:59:48,682 --> 02:59:49,784
Really throughout this entire

5066
02:59:49,784 --> 02:59:53,384
term, but I think tonight has

5067
02:59:54,856 --> 02:59:56,290
been a fantastic example of

5068
02:59:56,290 --> 02:59:58,910
constituents coming out saying

5069
02:59:58,910 --> 02:59:59,159
what they don't want,

5070
02:59:59,159 --> 03:00:01,559
constituents coming out saying

5071
03:00:02,430 --> 03:00:05,632
what they do want, and we just

5072
03:00:05,632 --> 03:00:07,670
turn deaf ears and run very

5073
03:00:07,670 --> 03:00:08,869
much. As council member webb

5074
03:00:08,869 --> 03:00:10,237
just said, our own personal

5075
03:00:10,237 --> 03:00:11,739
agendas, housing, housing

5076
03:00:11,739 --> 03:00:14,139
everywhere, including in your

5077
03:00:15,309 --> 03:00:16,844
closet and and so you can't

5078
03:00:16,844 --> 03:00:18,212
have a big piece of land,

5079
03:00:18,212 --> 03:00:20,515
you're not allowed to have a

5080
03:00:20,515 --> 03:00:21,848
larger home. And frankly, some

5081
03:00:21,848 --> 03:00:23,517
people on this council live in

5082
03:00:23,517 --> 03:00:24,452
larger homes and in really nice

5083
03:00:24,452 --> 03:00:25,619
neighborhoods. And frankly, if

5084
03:00:25,619 --> 03:00:26,821
you do the things

5085
03:00:26,821 --> 03:00:28,388
you're proposing for other

5086
03:00:28,388 --> 03:00:29,790
people to do, your neighbors

5087
03:00:29,790 --> 03:00:31,525
would be highly upset with you.

5088
03:00:31,525 --> 03:00:33,925
Every neighborhood in this

5089
03:00:34,280 --> 03:00:36,230
county is different. And why

5090
03:00:36,230 --> 03:00:38,299
can we not respect what those

5091
03:00:38,299 --> 03:00:39,967
constituents want and not shove

5092
03:00:39,967 --> 03:00:42,703
stuff down their throats? Every

5093
03:00:42,703 --> 03:00:44,205
two weeks? We have an election

5094
03:00:44,205 --> 03:00:45,872
coming up in a year. I guess

5095
03:00:45,872 --> 03:00:47,800
some people don't want to be

5096
03:00:47,800 --> 03:00:48,410
here, or some people are

5097
03:00:48,410 --> 03:00:49,743
assuming they're going to stay

5098
03:00:49,743 --> 03:00:50,878
here, but constituents are mad

5099
03:00:50,878 --> 03:00:53,878
t shirts, buttons. Those are

5100
03:00:56,783 --> 03:00:57,952
never a good sign. And

5101
03:00:57,952 --> 03:00:59,287
sometimes we make bills better.

5102
03:00:59,287 --> 03:01:00,521
We manage to fix them. We come

5103
03:01:00,521 --> 03:01:03,521
up with some amendments that

5104
03:01:05,126 --> 03:01:07,161
work. But right now, council

5105
03:01:07,161 --> 03:01:08,262
member webb has worked with our

5106
03:01:08,262 --> 03:01:09,463
community and asked for

5107
03:01:09,463 --> 03:01:11,165
something. And why in the world

5108
03:01:11,165 --> 03:01:14,435
would one of us decide that

5109
03:01:14,435 --> 03:01:16,904
they were going to usurp her,

5110
03:01:16,904 --> 03:01:19,473
use their position to mess with

5111
03:01:19,473 --> 03:01:22,473
her? Bill doesn't make any

5112
03:01:23,377 --> 03:01:25,146
sense. So instead of promoting

5113
03:01:25,146 --> 03:01:27,448
personal pet projects and

5114
03:01:27,448 --> 03:01:28,816
agendas, why don't we verify if

5115
03:01:28,816 --> 03:01:29,884
people are doing their jobs to

5116
03:01:29,884 --> 03:01:31,819
support them? And if they're

5117
03:01:31,819 --> 03:01:32,987
not, we also need to call them

5118
03:01:32,987 --> 03:01:34,689
out for that too, because

5119
03:01:34,689 --> 03:01:35,923
that's our job. We were elected

5120
03:01:35,923 --> 03:01:36,991
by our constituents to do our

5121
03:01:36,991 --> 03:01:37,892
jobs and hold people

5122
03:01:37,892 --> 03:01:39,930
accountable, and that also

5123
03:01:39,930 --> 03:01:40,995
includes each other. Thank you.

5124
03:01:40,995 --> 03:01:43,131
All right. Next in the queue

5125
03:01:43,131 --> 03:01:43,965
for discussion on the motion to

5126
03:01:43,965 --> 03:01:46,333
approve on second reading is

5127
03:01:46,333 --> 03:01:47,902
council member hancock. You're

5128
03:01:47,902 --> 03:01:49,300
recognized.

5129
03:01:49,300 --> 03:01:51,403
Thank you. I rise

5130
03:01:53,941 --> 03:01:55,743
in support of this district led bill for a

5131
03:01:55,743 --> 03:01:58,143
district contextual overlay on

5132
03:01:58,279 --> 03:02:01,248
a very tiny part of this very

5133
03:02:01,248 --> 03:02:02,617
large district, and I hope the

5134
03:02:02,617 --> 03:02:04,850
other district council members,

5135
03:02:04,850 --> 03:02:05,519
as well as at large, will

5136
03:02:05,519 --> 03:02:05,853
support her. Thank you.

5137
03:02:05,853 --> 03:02:07,521
Thank

5138
03:02:07,521 --> 03:02:08,422
you, MISS Hancock. Next in the

5139
03:02:08,422 --> 03:02:09,900
queue, councilmember benedict,

5140
03:02:09,900 --> 03:02:09,723
you're recognized.

5141
03:02:09,723 --> 03:02:11,325
Thank you,

5142
03:02:11,325 --> 03:02:13,427
MADAM Vice mayor. I just would

5143
03:02:13,427 --> 03:02:14,895
encourage my colleagues to talk

5144
03:02:14,895 --> 03:02:17,295
to talk about other

5145
03:02:17,765 --> 03:02:18,899
colleagues and zoning in other

5146
03:02:18,899 --> 03:02:20,601
people's districts. Just pot

5147
03:02:20,601 --> 03:02:23,137
meet kettle. That's how this

5148
03:02:23,137 --> 03:02:23,838
term has been. Thanks.

5149
03:02:23,838 --> 03:02:25,838
All

5150
03:02:28,543 --> 03:02:31,145
right. Okay. In general, let's

5151
03:02:31,145 --> 03:02:33,147
just from a level of acrimony

5152
03:02:33,147 --> 03:02:34,415
and standpoint, okay, I try to

5153
03:02:34,415 --> 03:02:35,449
give a little bit of discretion

5154
03:02:35,449 --> 03:02:36,517
when you're generally

5155
03:02:36,517 --> 03:02:38,686
addressing the body more

5156
03:02:38,686 --> 03:02:39,754
broadly on broad issues, but

5157
03:02:39,754 --> 03:02:41,588
technically need to be

5158
03:02:41,588 --> 03:02:43,390
addressing the chair okay. So

5159
03:02:43,390 --> 03:02:44,425
if you turn and speak to your

5160
03:02:44,425 --> 03:02:46,126
colleagues, but let's, let's

5161
03:02:46,126 --> 03:02:49,630
not kind of impugn each other

5162
03:02:49,630 --> 03:02:51,565
or point or call each other out.

5163
03:02:51,565 --> 03:02:53,330
Okay. You know, the public, we

5164
03:02:53,330 --> 03:02:54,502
have somewhat of a different

5165
03:02:54,502 --> 03:02:55,569
standard. I know people have

5166
03:02:55,569 --> 03:02:56,637
certain feelings about that.

5167
03:02:56,637 --> 03:02:58,720
They call out individual

5168
03:02:58,720 --> 03:02:59,173
members and otherwise, but

5169
03:02:59,173 --> 03:03:01,410
generally we are trying to

5170
03:03:01,410 --> 03:03:02,776
listen to the public, listen to

5171
03:03:02,776 --> 03:03:04,912
each other and have a

5172
03:03:04,912 --> 03:03:06,912
constructive discussion. Okay.

5173
03:03:07,810 --> 03:03:08,949
And so at this time, we're on a

5174
03:03:08,949 --> 03:03:11,949
motion to approve on second

5175
03:03:12,860 --> 03:03:14,210
reading. It is with a requested%

5176
03:03:14,210 --> 03:03:15,756
a roll call vote. So, MR. Clark,

5177
03:03:15,756 --> 03:03:18,191
if you would please load the

5178
03:03:18,191 --> 03:03:19,360
vote, this being a disapproved

5179
03:03:19,360 --> 03:03:21,620
bill does not really come into

5180
03:03:21,620 --> 03:03:22,530
effect at this juncture as on

5181
03:03:22,530 --> 03:03:24,930
the previous bill, it

5182
03:03:25,990 --> 03:03:26,867
simple majority. On third

5183
03:03:26,867 --> 03:03:29,360
reading, a disapproved bill

5184
03:03:29,360 --> 03:03:31,739
requires 27 votes, but at this

5185
03:03:31,739 --> 03:03:35,339
juncture it is just a simple

5186
03:03:47,956 --> 03:03:49,956
majority.

5187
03:04:04,305 --> 03:04:06,705
All votes. And MR.

5188
03:04:08,900 --> 03:04:09,410
Clark, please show the vote.

5189
03:04:09,410 --> 03:04:10,511
Okay, this motion has passed

5190
03:04:10,511 --> 03:04:12,180
and this bill has passed its

5191
03:04:12,180 --> 03:04:14,748
second of three readings with

5192
03:04:14,748 --> 03:04:17,148
20 votes in favor, eight

5193
03:04:17,285 --> 03:04:19,530
against and three abstentions.

5194
03:04:19,530 --> 03:04:20,321
Okay. This will move on to

5195
03:04:20,321 --> 03:04:22,390
planning and zoning committee

5196
03:04:22,390 --> 03:04:24,926
and its third reading at the

5197
03:04:24,926 --> 03:04:27,926
next meeting. Next is agenda

5198
03:04:30,965 --> 03:04:32,367

5199

5412
03:12:10,958 --> 03:12:12,394
that certain materials be

5413
03:12:12,394 --> 03:12:14,794

addresses and locations

5416
03:12:19,266 --> 03:12:21,200
mentioned in 1446. All right.

5417
03:12:21,200 --> 03:12:23,170
That has now been read into the

5418
03:12:23,170 --> 03:12:24,906
record. Council member cash,

5419
03:12:24,906 --> 03:12:25,390

Okay. I declare the

5429
03:12:43,724 --> 03:12:44,792
Okay. Would all members here in

03:12:46,861 --> 03:12:49,764
please raise your hands? All

5432
03:12:49,764 --> 03:12:52,164

5433
03:12:52,634 --> 03:12:54,469
speaking in support, do go

5434
03:12:54,469 --> 03:12:57,380
first. And as such we would ask

5435
03:12:57,380 --> 03:13:00,208
that you come forward. This MAY

5436
03:13:00,208 --> 03:13:01,743
be one of our larger hearings.

5437
03:13:01,743 --> 03:13:03,445
What I would ask, please, just

5438
03:13:03,445 --> 03:13:04,612
as a courtesy really to

5439
03:13:04,612 --> 03:13:06,513
yourselves so that you do not

5440
03:13:06,513 --> 03:13:07,782
have to be standing for too

5441
03:13:07,782 --> 03:13:09,451
long. We have a staff member

5442
03:13:09,451 --> 03:13:11,119
there. We don't really want to

5443
03:13:11,119 --> 03:13:11,853
have more than about ten people

5444
03:13:11,853 --> 03:13:14,255
standing, don't want to have

5445
03:13:14,255 --> 03:13:16,524
our door blocked. But we will

5446
03:13:16,524 --> 03:13:18,293
get rolling, for the speakers

5447
03:13:18,293 --> 03:13:19,326
in support and go ahead, sir.

5448
03:13:19,326 --> 03:13:19,861
You're recognized.

5449
03:13:19,861 --> 03:13:21,496
All right.

5450
03:13:21,496 --> 03:13:22,997
Good evening, council members.

5451
03:13:22,997 --> 03:13:25,834
my name is evan cathey. I'm

5452
03:13:25,834 --> 03:13:27,350
here with vanderbilt university.

5453
03:13:27,350 --> 03:13:28,836
And I'm here to talk to you

5454
03:13:28,836 --> 03:13:29,804
tonight a little bit about

5455
03:13:29,804 --> 03:13:30,671
vanderbilt's proposal for an

5456
03:13:30,671 --> 03:13:32,671
innovation neighborhood. Before

5457
03:13:33,341 --> 03:13:34,876
I do that, I want to say, tom

5458
03:13:34,876 --> 03:13:35,843
cash, COUNCILMAN Tom cash has

5459
03:13:35,843 --> 03:13:37,512
shown some tremendous

5460
03:13:37,512 --> 03:13:39,280
leadership in a long, two years

5461
03:13:39,280 --> 03:13:41,149
long public engagement process

5462
03:13:41,149 --> 03:13:43,840
on this plan. So I wanted to

5463
03:13:43,840 --> 03:13:45,840
acknowledge his leadership.

5464
03:13:46,387 --> 03:13:48,456
Vanderbilt intends to turn 40

5465
03:13:48,456 --> 03:13:50,258
acres of what is mostly surface

5466
03:13:50,258 --> 03:13:52,560
parking lots west of our campus

5467
03:13:52,560 --> 03:13:54,595
into a hub for innovation here

5468
03:13:54,595 --> 03:13:56,230
in nashville, tennessee. So

5469
03:13:56,230 --> 03:13:57,332
what that looks like is we want

5470
03:13:57,332 --> 03:13:59,267
to create a place where

5471
03:13:59,267 --> 03:14:00,635
innovation can thrive, where

5472
03:14:00,635 --> 03:14:03,350
entrepreneurs and startups can

5473
03:14:03,271 --> 03:14:04,305
be in close proximity to our

5474
03:14:04,305 --> 03:14:05,840
faculty and our researchers.

5475
03:14:05,840 --> 03:14:08,342
That proximity is key. We want

5476
03:14:08,342 --> 03:14:09,677
that free flow of ideas. So

5477
03:14:09,677 --> 03:14:11,912
it's not just the ideas that

5478
03:14:11,912 --> 03:14:14,115
can make this, this proposal

5479
03:14:14,115 --> 03:14:15,883
special, its place in its

5480
03:14:15,883 --> 03:14:18,119
placemaking. So with housing,

5481
03:14:18,119 --> 03:14:19,787
with and with what I

5482
03:14:19,787 --> 03:14:21,989
would describe as high quality,

5483
03:14:21,989 --> 03:14:23,725
world class open space,

5484
03:14:23,725 --> 03:14:25,560
including a linear park that

5485
03:14:25,560 --> 03:14:27,462
runs through the entirety of

5486
03:14:27,462 --> 03:14:28,529
the project. You know, what

5487
03:14:28,529 --> 03:14:29,597
we're proposing is something

5488
03:14:29,597 --> 03:14:31,299
really special and unique to

5489
03:14:31,299 --> 03:14:33,100
the city. And it's what we

5490
03:14:33,100 --> 03:14:35,670
heard from our neighbors over

5491
03:14:35,670 --> 03:14:36,737
two years of discussion. So

5492
03:14:36,737 --> 03:14:38,472
you'll see you've got an

5493
03:14:38,472 --> 03:14:40,374
amendment right now. It's tom

5494
03:14:40,374 --> 03:14:42,430
cash's amendment number one.

5495
03:14:42,430 --> 03:14:43,544
It's a long list of concessions.

5496
03:14:43,544 --> 03:14:46,414
Those are concessions that we

5497
03:14:46,414 --> 03:14:48,650
have made, directly responding

5498
03:14:48,650 --> 03:14:50,840
to the wishes and the ideas and

5499
03:14:50,840 --> 03:14:51,185
what we've heard from the

5500
03:14:51,185 --> 03:14:52,620
neighborhood over the past

5501
03:14:52,620 --> 03:14:53,888
eight months. So that's an

5502
03:14:53,888 --> 03:14:55,189
amendment that we support. We

5503
03:14:55,189 --> 03:14:56,924
want it on the bill. We think

5504
03:14:56,924 --> 03:14:58,159
it makes the bill better. We

5505
03:14:58,159 --> 03:14:59,393
opened up this esp process,

5506
03:14:59,393 --> 03:15:01,228
even though this area is

5507
03:15:01,228 --> 03:15:03,398
already entitled for a lot of

5508
03:15:03,398 --> 03:15:05,299
height, a lot of density. Doing

5509
03:15:05,299 --> 03:15:06,700
it this way has made it better.

5510
03:15:06,700 --> 03:15:08,770
And we support that amendment.

5511
03:15:08,770 --> 03:15:11,170
This passed unanimously at

5512
03:15:12,440 --> 03:15:13,641
planning, in APRIL of 2020,

5513
03:15:13,641 --> 03:15:14,809
2026. And I think it's because

5514
03:15:14,809 --> 03:15:16,778
we're moving the heights away

5515
03:15:16,778 --> 03:15:19,113
from 31st to west end where

5516
03:15:19,113 --> 03:15:20,381
they belong. Can't wait for you

5517
03:15:20,381 --> 03:15:22,149
to hear more about it. Happy to

5518
03:15:22,149 --> 03:15:22,416
talk to you anytime. Thank you

5519
03:15:22,416 --> 03:15:24,850
very much.

5520
03:15:24,850 --> 03:15:26,354
Thank you sir. Next.

5521
03:15:26,354 --> 03:15:27,455
You are recognized.

5522
03:15:27,455 --> 03:15:29,230
Thank you.

5523
03:15:29,230 --> 03:15:30,791
My name is chris rowe. I've

5524
03:15:30,791 --> 03:15:32,526
lived in nashville for 34 years

5525
03:15:32,526 --> 03:15:33,628
and formerly in the hillsboro

5526
03:15:33,628 --> 03:15:33,928
west end neighborhood.

5527
03:15:33,928 --> 03:15:35,290
Go ahead

5528
03:15:35,290 --> 03:15:36,497
sir.

5529
03:15:36,497 --> 03:15:37,632
I currently work at

5530
03:15:37,632 --> 03:15:38,999
vanderbilt, leading the team

5531
03:15:38,999 --> 03:15:40,835
that attracts research and

5532
03:15:40,835 --> 03:15:42,236
development collaborations to

5533
03:15:42,236 --> 03:15:44,105
the university and medical

5534
03:15:44,105 --> 03:15:46,105
center, integrates companies

5535
03:15:46,207 --> 03:15:47,641
into our innovation ecosystem,

5536
03:15:47,641 --> 03:15:49,176
and works closely with the team

5537
03:15:49,176 --> 03:15:51,279
that supports faculty launching

5538
03:15:51,279 --> 03:15:52,880
new businesses based on their

5539
03:15:52,880 --> 03:15:54,849
research. I speak in support of

5540
03:15:54,849 --> 03:15:55,916
the innovation neighborhood.

5541
03:15:55,916 --> 03:15:57,916
Innovation districts have

5542
03:15:58,119 --> 03:15:59,553
emerged as primary economic

5543
03:15:59,553 --> 03:16:01,953
drivers for communities across

5544
03:16:02,456 --> 03:16:05,326
the globe. By nature, they are

5545
03:16:05,326 --> 03:16:07,429
inclusive, creative and vibrant

5546
03:16:07,429 --> 03:16:09,829
spaces. The most successful

5547
03:16:09,930 --> 03:16:12,133
ones are urban, adjacent to a

5548
03:16:12,133 --> 03:16:14,970
research campus and have a

5549
03:16:14,970 --> 03:16:16,700
startup focus. This

5550
03:16:16,700 --> 03:16:17,872
neighborhood will create a

5551
03:16:17,872 --> 03:16:20,775
vital r&d space to attract

5552
03:16:20,775 --> 03:16:22,209
those startups, tech ventures,

5553
03:16:22,209 --> 03:16:23,744
investors, and corporate

5554
03:16:23,744 --> 03:16:25,813
partners to nashville while

5555
03:16:25,813 --> 03:16:28,683
keeping the city's tech talent

5556
03:16:28,683 --> 03:16:30,818
local. An example is nisha

5557
03:16:30,818 --> 03:16:32,818
medical technologies recent

5558
03:16:33,530 --> 03:16:35,523
creation of their r&d center of

5559
03:16:35,523 --> 03:16:37,580
excellence on our campus. In

5560
03:16:37,580 --> 03:16:38,920
acquiring one of our faculty

5561
03:16:38,920 --> 03:16:39,860
startups, they found the

5562
03:16:39,860 --> 03:16:41,262
innovation happening here,

5563
03:16:41,262 --> 03:16:44,990
something they needed to be

5564
03:16:44,990 --> 03:16:47,100
closer to. Their expansion has

5565
03:16:47,100 --> 03:16:49,571
added 40 high quality jobs to

5566
03:16:49,571 --> 03:16:51,339
the city and keeps the startup

5567
03:16:51,339 --> 03:16:53,174
that they're acquiring growing

5568
03:16:53,174 --> 03:16:55,574
in nashville rather than

5569
03:16:56,760 --> 03:16:58,513
leaving for the coast. This is

5570
03:16:58,513 --> 03:17:00,150
one of many data points that we

5571
03:17:00,150 --> 03:17:02,150
have demonstrating this

5572
03:17:02,217 --> 03:17:03,952
project's potential. Our goal

5573
03:17:03,952 --> 03:17:05,420
is to bring together the

5574
03:17:05,420 --> 03:17:07,187
universities from across the

5575
03:17:07,187 --> 03:17:09,187
region, local businesses,

5576
03:17:09,357 --> 03:17:10,791
diverse entrepreneurs and

5577
03:17:10,791 --> 03:17:11,893
residents to share in the

5578
03:17:11,893 --> 03:17:13,893
neighborhood's vibrancy and

5579
03:17:14,461 --> 03:17:15,829
long term prosperity. A

5580
03:17:15,829 --> 03:17:17,665
development like this just

5581
03:17:17,665 --> 03:17:19,801
doesn't exist anywhere in the

5582
03:17:19,801 --> 03:17:21,268
region currently. And to

5583
03:17:21,268 --> 03:17:23,380
compete for these high value

5584
03:17:23,380 --> 03:17:25,940
jobs and keep our tech talent

5585
03:17:25,940 --> 03:17:27,809
local, we must simply have a

5586
03:17:27,809 --> 03:17:29,577
space for everyone to convene

5587
03:17:29,577 --> 03:17:31,279
and collaborate. The best place

5588
03:17:31,279 --> 03:17:32,747
to accomplish all of this is

5589
03:17:32,747 --> 03:17:34,849
adjacent to our research

5590
03:17:34,849 --> 03:17:36,151
university campus. Thank you.

5591
03:17:36,151 --> 03:17:39,220
Thank you. Go ahead sir. Come

5592
03:17:39,220 --> 03:17:40,688
on. Forward. You're recognized.

5593
03:17:40,688 --> 03:17:43,491
Hi, my name is van robins. I'm

5594
03:17:43,491 --> 03:17:44,758
a 2612 belcourt. Belcourt.

5595
03:17:44,758 --> 03:17:46,270
Natchez trace, right next to

5596
03:17:46,270 --> 03:17:48,597
this project. I'm here to

5597
03:17:48,597 --> 03:17:49,998
support the project or this

5598
03:17:49,998 --> 03:17:52,133
amendment. It's going to be

5599
03:17:52,133 --> 03:17:53,735
built one way or the other. The

5600
03:17:53,735 --> 03:17:55,236
current entitlements are absurd.

5601
03:17:55,236 --> 03:17:56,471
it would have all the density

5602
03:17:56,471 --> 03:17:58,730
right up against our

5603
03:17:58,730 --> 03:17:59,473
neighborhood. This amendment

5604
03:17:59,473 --> 03:18:01,576
would push all the density to

5605
03:18:01,576 --> 03:18:02,510
west end where it belongs and

5606
03:18:02,510 --> 03:18:03,745
could make the neighborhood

5607
03:18:03,745 --> 03:18:05,580
great. But the things getting

5608
03:18:05,580 --> 03:18:06,781
built one way or the other, and

5609
03:18:06,781 --> 03:18:08,583
the density needs to be on west

5610
03:18:08,583 --> 03:18:08,817
end. So please support the

5611
03:18:08,817 --> 03:18:10,485
measure.

5612
03:18:10,485 --> 03:18:12,885
Thank you. Go ahead

5613
03:18:13,421 --> 03:18:13,822
sir, you're recognized.

5614
03:18:13,822 --> 03:18:15,690
Hi, my

5615
03:18:15,690 --> 03:18:18,526
name is mark deutchman. I live

5616
03:18:18,526 --> 03:18:19,794
in 2400 sunset place. I've been

5617
03:18:19,794 --> 03:18:20,995
excited about the process. I

5618
03:18:20,995 --> 03:18:22,196
feel like vanderbilt university

5619
03:18:22,196 --> 03:18:23,832
has done a good job meeting

5620
03:18:23,832 --> 03:18:24,899
with the neighborhood. We

5621
03:18:24,899 --> 03:18:26,134
hosted a series of small

5622
03:18:26,134 --> 03:18:27,568
listening sessions very early

5623
03:18:27,568 --> 03:18:28,903
in the process with

5624
03:18:28,903 --> 03:18:30,772
neighborhood leaders, and gave

5625
03:18:30,772 --> 03:18:31,973
them some feedback about how to

5626
03:18:31,973 --> 03:18:33,400
conduct the meetings with the

5627
03:18:33,400 --> 03:18:34,420
neighborhood and how they

5628
03:18:34,420 --> 03:18:36,544
should best address what we

5629
03:18:36,544 --> 03:18:38,113
think are the concerns. I think

5630
03:18:38,113 --> 03:18:39,213
that they did a great job

5631
03:18:39,213 --> 03:18:40,147
getting in front of the

5632
03:18:40,147 --> 03:18:41,182
neighborhood and hosting a

5633
03:18:41,182 --> 03:18:43,510
series of meetings and

5634
03:18:43,510 --> 03:18:45,453
listening to what the neighbors

5635
03:18:45,453 --> 03:18:47,880
concerns were, and recognize

5636
03:18:47,880 --> 03:18:48,656
that and made a lot of changes

5637
03:18:48,656 --> 03:18:49,457
to make it happen.

5638
03:18:49,457 --> 03:18:50,858
Simultaneously, I've been

5639
03:18:50,858 --> 03:18:52,360
working on fort negley and

5640
03:18:52,360 --> 03:18:54,360
thinking about connectivity,

5641
03:18:54,462 --> 03:18:55,563
thinking about conversations,

5642
03:18:55,563 --> 03:18:56,998
connectivity, and I happen to

5643
03:18:56,998 --> 03:18:58,266
be working with vanderbilt

5644
03:18:58,266 --> 03:19:00,235
university and looking at ways

5645
03:19:00,235 --> 03:19:02,169
that we can connect vanderbilt

5646
03:19:02,169 --> 03:19:03,771
by bike lanes and greenways to

5647
03:19:03,771 --> 03:19:05,720
other places that are important

5648
03:19:05,720 --> 03:19:07,800
for them to get their people to

5649
03:19:07,800 --> 03:19:08,109
the campus without a car. And

5650
03:19:08,109 --> 03:19:09,760
they've leaned into the

5651
03:19:09,760 --> 03:19:10,712
connection. That's going to be

5652
03:19:10,712 --> 03:19:11,813
the chestnut connector to

5653
03:19:11,813 --> 03:19:13,214
edgehill, working with mndot

5654
03:19:13,214 --> 03:19:14,616
and thinking about the bike

5655
03:19:14,616 --> 03:19:15,716
lanes that we can have, they're

5656
03:19:15,716 --> 03:19:17,919
thinking through some of the

5657
03:19:17,919 --> 03:19:19,687
places where we can improve our

5658
03:19:19,687 --> 03:19:20,888
multimodal system, and I think

5659
03:19:20,888 --> 03:19:22,757
that's something that we need

5660
03:19:22,757 --> 03:19:24,240
to be thinking about as a whole

5661
03:19:24,240 --> 03:19:25,793
city. But vanderbilt's leaning

5662
03:19:25,793 --> 03:19:28,262
into it. And so again, I just

5663
03:19:28,262 --> 03:19:29,797
appreciate the process and I'm

5664
03:19:29,797 --> 03:19:30,640
excited about an innovation

5665
03:19:30,640 --> 03:19:31,866
district.

5666
03:19:31,866 --> 03:19:34,266
Thank you. Thank you.

5667
03:19:36,571 --> 03:19:37,400
Go ahead. You're recognized.

5668
03:19:37,400 --> 03:19:38,390
Good evening.

5669
03:19:38,390 --> 03:19:39,941
Vice mayor, metro

5670
03:19:39,941 --> 03:19:42,710
council and metro staff. My

5671
03:19:42,710 --> 03:19:44,245
name is lisa and I am here

5672
03:19:44,245 --> 03:19:45,546
tonight in support of

5673
03:19:45,546 --> 03:19:46,714
vanderbilt university's

5674
03:19:46,714 --> 03:19:48,714
proposed innovation

5675
03:19:50,284 --> 03:19:52,284
neighborhood. Bill 2026 1446,

5676
03:19:52,286 --> 03:19:53,921
and the two proposed amendments,

5677
03:19:53,921 --> 03:19:56,357
one by council member cash and

5678
03:19:56,357 --> 03:19:57,825
one by council member allen. We

5679
03:19:57,825 --> 03:19:59,627
live two blocks from

5680
03:19:59,627 --> 03:20:02,270
vanderbilt's main campus in

5681
03:20:02,163 --> 03:20:03,531
district 17. We are full time

5682
03:20:03,531 --> 03:20:05,800
residents and reside within the

5683
03:20:05,800 --> 03:20:07,902
radius of the proposed project.

5684
03:20:07,902 --> 03:20:09,703
We did receive plannings notice

5685
03:20:09,703 --> 03:20:11,773
of the public hearing in APRIL

5686
03:20:11,773 --> 03:20:13,274
and APRIL, as well as the

5687
03:20:13,274 --> 03:20:15,760
notice for tonight's public

5688
03:20:15,760 --> 03:20:16,544
hearing. During the last

5689
03:20:16,544 --> 03:20:17,979
several years, we have seen

5690
03:20:17,979 --> 03:20:19,447
tremendous amount of

5691
03:20:19,447 --> 03:20:21,982
development in the midtown west

5692
03:20:21,982 --> 03:20:23,651
end and vanderbilt area, driven

5693
03:20:23,651 --> 03:20:25,920
both by the university and

5694
03:20:25,920 --> 03:20:27,721
other developers. And we can

5695
03:20:27,721 --> 03:20:29,957
say every project that

5696
03:20:29,957 --> 03:20:32,793
vanderbilt has built has been

5697
03:20:32,793 --> 03:20:34,261
for the better. Two recent

5698
03:20:34,261 --> 03:20:35,997
examples include the broad view

5699
03:20:35,997 --> 03:20:38,397
graduate student apartment high

5700
03:20:38,899 --> 03:20:40,334
rise in midtown district 19.

5701
03:20:40,334 --> 03:20:41,770
the mixed use building is

5702
03:20:41,770 --> 03:20:43,171
anchored by the turnip truck,

5703
03:20:43,171 --> 03:20:44,305
bringing the first of its kind

5704
03:20:44,305 --> 03:20:46,705
grocery store to the

5705
03:20:47,108 --> 03:20:48,910
neighborhood and eighth and

5706
03:20:48,910 --> 03:20:51,512
roast, which is local, both of

5707
03:20:51,512 --> 03:20:52,881
which are locally owned.

5708
03:20:52,881 --> 03:20:55,483
Another is the new roberts

5709
03:20:55,483 --> 03:20:56,817
academy and dyslexia center,

5710
03:20:56,817 --> 03:20:59,688
built by vanderbilt, which is

5711
03:20:59,688 --> 03:21:01,155
scheduled to open for 2026

5712
03:21:01,155 --> 03:21:03,290
classes and located in the

5713
03:21:03,290 --> 03:21:06,227
heart of music row in district

5714
03:21:06,227 --> 03:21:07,662
17. Council member tom cash has

5715
03:21:07,662 --> 03:21:09,130
hosted several highly

5716
03:21:09,130 --> 03:21:11,130
informative community meetings

5717
03:21:11,299 --> 03:21:12,400
and worked tirelessly with

5718
03:21:12,400 --> 03:21:13,867
neighbors and vanderbilt's

5719
03:21:13,867 --> 03:21:15,569
government and community

5720
03:21:15,569 --> 03:21:18,139
relations team every step of

5721
03:21:18,139 --> 03:21:19,173
the way. This immersive

5722
03:21:19,173 --> 03:21:20,507
engagement has been

5723
03:21:20,507 --> 03:21:22,907
instrumental in developing a

5724
03:21:23,110 --> 03:21:25,646
long term plan that in itself

5725
03:21:25,646 --> 03:21:27,815
is innovative and collaborative,

5726
03:21:27,815 --> 03:21:29,617
and aligns with nashville's

5727
03:21:29,617 --> 03:21:32,120
rapid growth density in the

5728
03:21:32,120 --> 03:21:33,922
urban core and much needed

5729
03:21:33,922 --> 03:21:35,757
infrastructure and mobility

5730
03:21:35,757 --> 03:21:36,924
improvements. As vanderbilt

5731
03:21:36,924 --> 03:21:38,924
neighbor and residential

5732
03:21:39,270 --> 03:21:41,620
property owner, I support this

5733
03:21:41,620 --> 03:21:42,163
project and ask you to do so as

5734
03:21:42,163 --> 03:21:42,296
well. Thank you so much.

5735
03:21:42,296 --> 03:21:44,296
Thank

5736
03:21:45,990 --> 03:21:47,368
you. Go ahead. Sir, you're

5737
03:21:47,368 --> 03:21:48,168
recognized.

5738
03:21:48,168 --> 03:21:48,536
Good evening.

5739
03:21:48,536 --> 03:21:50,536
My

5740
03:21:50,572 --> 03:21:52,207
name is mark blase. I'm a 24

5741
03:21:52,207 --> 03:21:54,108
year resident of davidson

5742
03:21:54,108 --> 03:21:55,243
county, and I'm the current

5743
03:21:55,243 --> 03:21:56,744
PRESIDENT And ceo of the

5744
03:21:56,744 --> 03:21:58,479
greater nashville technology

5745
03:21:58,479 --> 03:22:00,915
council. I'm here tonight to

5746
03:22:00,915 --> 03:22:02,717
express my strong support for

5747
03:22:02,717 --> 03:22:04,586
the innovation neighborhood at

5748
03:22:04,586 --> 03:22:06,687
vanderbilt. Our city has

5749
03:22:06,687 --> 03:22:07,856
achieved great technological

5750
03:22:07,856 --> 03:22:10,256
advancements, but we've still

5751
03:22:11,793 --> 03:22:14,229
got a long ways to go. A

5752
03:22:14,229 --> 03:22:16,629
neighborhood of innovation. A

5753
03:22:16,864 --> 03:22:18,333
hub will definitely be a

5754
03:22:18,333 --> 03:22:20,368
catalyst for our city's ability

5755
03:22:20,368 --> 03:22:22,768
to grow our technological

5756
03:22:22,870 --> 03:22:23,805
prowess, but it also will give

5757
03:22:23,805 --> 03:22:25,340
opportunities for people to

5758
03:22:25,340 --> 03:22:28,940
learn the skills needed for the

5759
03:22:29,344 --> 03:22:30,878
jobs of tomorrow. Innovation

5760
03:22:30,878 --> 03:22:33,140
neighborhood won't only benefit

5761

our current tech community,

5762
03:22:34,883 --> 03:22:37,284
it'll benefit others who are

5763
03:22:37,284 --> 03:22:39,821
looking for careers in tech.

5764
03:22:39,821 --> 03:22:42,821
And let's be clear innovation

5765
03:22:43,910 --> 03:22:45,226
is creativity at its finest. It

5766
03:22:45,226 --> 03:22:46,694
will benefit many of

5767
03:22:46,694 --> 03:22:49,163
creatives in our in our

5768
03:22:49,163 --> 03:22:50,999
community. It's crucial we

5769
03:22:50,999 --> 03:22:53,399

5770
03:22:53,501 --> 03:22:55,336

5771
03:22:55,336 --> 03:22:57,205
we don't risk falling behind

5772
03:22:57,205 --> 03:22:58,873
our peer cities who are making

5773
03:22:58,873 --> 03:23:01,273
these investments in their

5774
03:23:01,476 --> 03:23:03,611
future. I hope you will vote to

5775
03:23:03,611 --> 03:23:05,413
move to move these plans

5776
03:23:05,413 --> 03:23:07,582
forward, and I truly believe

5777
03:23:07,582 --> 03:23:10,850
this will be a positive

5778
03:23:10,850 --> 03:23:11,519
transition transformative for

5779
03:23:11,519 --> 03:23:12,987
nashville. Thank you.

5780
03:23:12,987 --> 03:23:14,987
Thank you.

5781
03:23:15,857 --> 03:23:17,910
Go ahead sir, you're recognized.

5782
03:23:17,910 --> 03:23:19,930
Good evening all. Thank you for

5783
03:23:19,930 --> 03:23:21,930
the time and the forum. My name

5784
03:23:21,930 --> 03:23:23,631
is sid. I am a homeowner on

5785
03:23:23,631 --> 03:23:25,266
woodlawn drive in the same

5786
03:23:25,266 --> 03:23:26,634
neighborhood as the proposed

5787
03:23:26,634 --> 03:23:28,102
development. I'm here to voice

5788
03:23:28,102 --> 03:23:29,971
support for vanderbilt's

5789
03:23:29,971 --> 03:23:31,372
innovation neighborhood. As a

5790
03:23:31,372 --> 03:23:32,740
homeowner in the area. I

5791
03:23:32,740 --> 03:23:34,609
followed the plans closely as

5792
03:23:34,609 --> 03:23:36,678
they've been updated according

5793
03:23:36,678 --> 03:23:37,946
to neighborhood feedback. I

5794
03:23:37,946 --> 03:23:39,946
believe vanderbilt's proposal

5795
03:23:40,248 --> 03:23:42,116
is beneficial to both the

5796
03:23:42,116 --> 03:23:43,518
neighborhood and city,

5797
03:23:43,518 --> 03:23:44,986
specifically because of the

5798
03:23:44,986 --> 03:23:46,754
updated traffic measures,

5799
03:23:46,754 --> 03:23:49,154
improved walkability, and added

5800
03:23:49,624 --> 03:23:51,159
green space. This represents a

5801
03:23:51,159 --> 03:23:53,559
market improvement to the

5802
03:23:53,695 --> 03:23:55,430
existing area, which presently

5803
03:23:55,430 --> 03:23:57,830
consists of mainly surface

5804
03:23:57,965 --> 03:23:59,330
parking lots. The innovation

5805
03:23:59,330 --> 03:24:00,468
neighborhood would help

5806
03:24:00,468 --> 03:24:02,236
nashville to grow in a positive

5807
03:24:02,236 --> 03:24:04,236
direction, attracting jobs,

5808
03:24:04,505 --> 03:24:05,873
investment and industry.

5809
03:24:05,873 --> 03:24:07,708
Vanderbilt is perhaps our

5810
03:24:07,708 --> 03:24:08,943
city's most esteemed

5811
03:24:08,943 --> 03:24:10,845
institution, and what is good

5812
03:24:10,845 --> 03:24:13,114
for vanderbilt is good for the

5813
03:24:13,114 --> 03:24:14,482
city. As a homeowner in the

5814
03:24:14,482 --> 03:24:16,717
neighborhood, I urge council

5815
03:24:16,717 --> 03:24:18,920
members to vote in favor of the

5816
03:24:18,920 --> 03:24:20,321
project. Thank you very much.

5817
03:24:20,321 --> 03:24:22,423
Thank you. Go ahead, ma'am.

5818
03:24:22,423 --> 03:24:23,190
You're recognized.

5819
03:24:23,190 --> 03:24:24,925
Good evening.

5820
03:24:24,925 --> 03:24:27,461
I'm lisa wyatt. I'm a homeowner

5821
03:24:27,461 --> 03:24:28,930
and board member of hwen

5822
03:24:28,930 --> 03:24:30,640
hillsborough west end

5823
03:24:30,640 --> 03:24:32,464
association. Also the tree

5824
03:24:33,267 --> 03:24:35,369
captain for nashville, I

5825
03:24:35,369 --> 03:24:36,571
generational nashville and a

5826
03:24:36,571 --> 03:24:38,639
native nashville. Ian, both

5827
03:24:38,639 --> 03:24:40,741
sets of grandparents grew up

5828
03:24:40,741 --> 03:24:42,430
here. My parents grew up here.

5829
03:24:42,430 --> 03:24:43,878
We grew up in this neighborhood.

5830
03:24:43,878 --> 03:24:45,546
And I'm just a proud supporter

5831
03:24:45,546 --> 03:24:46,881
of all the contribution that

5832
03:24:46,881 --> 03:24:48,349
vanderbilt has made in the

5833
03:24:48,349 --> 03:24:50,118
community and for their

5834
03:24:50,118 --> 03:24:51,619
renowned medical center and

5835
03:24:51,619 --> 03:24:54,489
university. And I believe we

5836
03:24:54,489 --> 03:24:55,890
all should recognize what what

5837
03:24:55,890 --> 03:24:57,825
vanderbilt innovation should,

5838
03:24:57,825 --> 03:24:59,894
will do for our community. And

5839
03:24:59,894 --> 03:25:01,662
I support that. I support, as

5840
03:25:01,662 --> 03:25:03,131
you all have heard here today,

5841
03:25:03,131 --> 03:25:04,532
growth is inevitable, and I

5842
03:25:04,532 --> 03:25:06,532
trust vanderbilt innovation,

5843
03:25:06,734 --> 03:25:07,935
given their continued support

5844
03:25:07,935 --> 03:25:10,335
through this outreach through

5845
03:25:10,671 --> 03:25:12,406
the program. And I support

5846
03:25:12,406 --> 03:25:14,508
council member tom cash on all

5847
03:25:14,508 --> 03:25:15,610
the hard work and negotiations

5848
03:25:15,610 --> 03:25:17,345
for all the concessions that

5849
03:25:17,345 --> 03:25:19,280
have been done for the year and

5850
03:25:19,280 --> 03:25:21,515
a half, last two years. So I'm

5851
03:25:21,515 --> 03:25:23,751
just a strong supporter of this

5852
03:25:23,751 --> 03:25:25,286
continued negotiations s well,

5853
03:25:25,286 --> 03:25:26,454
though, to support balancing

5854
03:25:26,454 --> 03:25:27,856
this growth with the

5855
03:25:27,856 --> 03:25:30,910
protections of the neighborhood.

5856
03:25:30,910 --> 03:25:31,893
And I believe that vanderbilt

5857
03:25:31,893 --> 03:25:33,694
innovation will work with the

5858
03:25:33,694 --> 03:25:34,695
neighborhood for continued

5859
03:25:34,695 --> 03:25:36,598
compatibility based on how

5860
03:25:36,598 --> 03:25:38,399
they've handled things thus far.

5861
03:25:38,399 --> 03:25:41,502
So I'm just a proud supporter

5862
03:25:41,502 --> 03:25:43,805
of of vanderbilt and our home

5863
03:25:43,805 --> 03:25:45,974
in nashville. So I just I am in

5864
03:25:45,974 --> 03:25:47,174
favor of the amendments. Metro

5865
03:25:47,174 --> 03:25:47,375

Thank you. Thank you. All

5868
03:25:51,345 --> 03:25:53,745
right. Go ahead. You're

5869
03:25:54,181 --> 03:25:55,282
recognized.

5870
03:25:55,282 --> 03:25:56,751
MADAM PRESIDENT and

5871
03:25:56,751 --> 03:25:58,953
council members, my name is

5872
03:25:58,953 --> 03:26:01,121
miriam mims. I live on blair

5873
03:26:01,121 --> 03:26:03,521
boulevard, four blocks from

5874
03:26:03,958 --> 03:26:05,760
vanderbilt. I ask that you pass

5875
03:26:05,760 --> 03:26:07,529
this bill tonight on second

5876
03:26:07,529 --> 03:26:09,363
reading with all amendments

5877
03:26:09,363 --> 03:26:11,499
you'll hear from others tonight.

5878
03:26:11,499 --> 03:26:13,667
And I'm only one voice. But I

5879
03:26:13,667 --> 03:26:15,236
speak for others at their

5880
03:26:15,236 --> 03:26:17,471
request because I care deeply

5881
03:26:17,471 --> 03:26:18,740
and have been laser focused on

5882
03:26:18,740 --> 03:26:21,140
the innovation district for

5883
03:26:21,542 --> 03:26:22,744
oer two years. 20 years ago, I

5884
03:26:22,744 --> 03:26:24,145
joined the hillsborough west

5885
03:26:24,145 --> 03:26:26,281
end board and I still serve to

5886
03:26:26,281 --> 03:26:28,681
this day. The neighborhood

5887
03:26:29,184 --> 03:26:30,185
elected me co-chair, and for 15

5888
03:26:30,185 --> 03:26:30,986
years I've served as

5889
03:26:30,986 --> 03:26:32,754
commissioner of beautification

5890
03:26:32,754 --> 03:26:34,188
and environment. My children

5891
03:26:34,188 --> 03:26:35,623
played in dragon park, and

5892
03:26:35,623 --> 03:26:37,658
today my grandchildren attend

5893
03:26:37,658 --> 03:26:39,760
our public schools. I want you

5894
03:26:39,760 --> 03:26:42,129
to know that nashville matters

5895
03:26:42,129 --> 03:26:43,898
to me. My historic neighborhood

5896
03:26:43,898 --> 03:26:46,468
matters to me, and my family

5897
03:26:46,468 --> 03:26:47,835
matters to me. Back in JUNE of

5898
03:26:47,835 --> 03:26:49,303
2024, when vanderbilt contacted

5899
03:26:49,303 --> 03:26:51,105
us about the innovation

5900
03:26:51,105 --> 03:26:53,505
district concept, we were

5901
03:26:53,607 --> 03:26:55,276
curious, even skeptical. We

5902
03:26:55,276 --> 03:26:57,211
held kitchen table meetings

5903
03:26:57,211 --> 03:26:58,613
with 150 participants, and

5904
03:26:58,613 --> 03:26:59,881
following that, council member

5905
03:26:59,881 --> 03:27:01,181
cash and others held meetings

5906
03:27:01,181 --> 03:27:03,170
that were attended with

5907
03:27:03,170 --> 03:27:04,618
hundreds more where we asked

5908
03:27:04,618 --> 03:27:07,180
countless questions. With mndot,

5909
03:27:07,288 --> 03:27:09,457
we go planning architects and

5910
03:27:09,457 --> 03:27:11,258
vanderbilt sharing information.

5911
03:27:11,258 --> 03:27:14,529
This year, I worked with a

5912
03:27:14,529 --> 03:27:15,996
small group to hammer out 23

5913
03:27:15,996 --> 03:27:18,650
asks of vanderbilt. Out of

5914
03:27:18,650 --> 03:27:19,600
these came today's amendments,

5915
03:27:19,600 --> 03:27:21,302
addressing reduced building

5916
03:27:21,302 --> 03:27:22,770
heights all the way to bird

5917
03:27:22,770 --> 03:27:24,205
safe glass. They weren't

5918
03:27:24,205 --> 03:27:26,400
created in a vacuum. They were

5919
03:27:26,400 --> 03:27:28,109
created collaboratively in good

5920
03:27:28,109 --> 03:27:29,611
faith and long hours. And

5921
03:27:29,611 --> 03:27:32,113
tonight it's time to move

5922
03:27:32,113 --> 03:27:34,282
forward. Finally, I'm not the

5923
03:27:34,282 --> 03:27:36,484
only former when chair

5924
03:27:36,484 --> 03:27:38,884
supporting passage tonight. In

5925
03:27:40,880 --> 03:27:41,456
fact, six, I repeat, six former

5926
03:27:41,456 --> 03:27:43,456
neighborhood chairs have

5927
03:27:44,240 --> 03:27:46,194
contacted council. I ask you to

5928
03:27:46,194 --> 03:27:48,363
listen to the authentic words

5929
03:27:48,363 --> 03:27:52,000
of those who could not be here

5930
03:27:52,000 --> 03:27:54,402
tonight and vote. I thank you.

5931
03:27:54,402 --> 03:27:56,237
Thank you. Go ahead. Come on.

5932
03:27:56,237 --> 03:27:58,106
Forward. You're recognized.

5933
03:27:58,106 --> 03:27:59,641
Tough to follow. Good evening

5934
03:27:59,641 --> 03:28:01,375
everyone. I'm lindsay cox, I'm

5935
03:28:01,375 --> 03:28:03,511
a resident of davidson county

5936
03:28:03,511 --> 03:28:05,647
and also the chief executive

5937
03:28:05,647 --> 03:28:07,715
officer of launch tennessee, a

5938
03:28:07,715 --> 03:28:09,550
501 c three nonprofit that

5939
03:28:09,550 --> 03:28:10,618
supports innovation and

5940
03:28:10,618 --> 03:28:12,454
entrepreneurship across the

5941
03:28:12,454 --> 03:28:14,188
state through connections,

5942
03:28:14,188 --> 03:28:16,188
commercialization, support and

5943
03:28:16,391 --> 03:28:18,791
capital, namely venture capital.

5944
03:28:18,826 --> 03:28:20,361
It is my belief that vanderbilt

5945
03:28:20,361 --> 03:28:21,763
that the vanderbilt innovation

5946
03:28:21,763 --> 03:28:24,163
neighborhood will create an

5947
03:28:24,365 --> 03:28:25,800
area where research,

5948
03:28:25,800 --> 03:28:27,602
collaboration and

5949
03:28:27,602 --> 03:28:29,700
entrepreneurship will intersect,

5950
03:28:29,700 --> 03:28:30,805
accelerating nashville and

5951
03:28:30,805 --> 03:28:32,607
middle tennessee's

5952
03:28:32,607 --> 03:28:34,750
economy. This innovation

5953
03:28:34,750 --> 03:28:36,475
neighborhood will not just

5954
03:28:36,578 --> 03:28:37,645
attract companies capital and

5955
03:28:37,645 --> 03:28:39,280
talent, one of which was

5956
03:28:39,280 --> 03:28:41,249
mentioned earlier to nashville,

5957
03:28:41,249 --> 03:28:43,417
but also serve the benefit of

5958
03:28:43,417 --> 03:28:45,253
current nashvillians. In

5959
03:28:45,253 --> 03:28:47,422
particular, our founder and

5960
03:28:47,422 --> 03:28:49,156
researcher communities. This

5961
03:28:49,156 --> 03:28:50,691
innovation neighborhood is not

5962
03:28:50,691 --> 03:28:52,930
something we currently have,

5963
03:28:52,930 --> 03:28:54,562
but it is something that we

5964
03:28:54,562 --> 03:28:57,131
will need to be competitive in

5965
03:28:57,131 --> 03:28:58,499
the innovation economy. I'm

5966
03:28:58,499 --> 03:29:00,368
proud to support growing and

5967
03:29:00,368 --> 03:29:01,803
scaling companies across

5968
03:29:01,803 --> 03:29:03,237
tennessee, and I'm proud to

5969
03:29:03,237 --> 03:29:05,373
support this project that will

5970
03:29:05,373 --> 03:29:07,508
benefit them. Future founders

5971
03:29:07,508 --> 03:29:08,943
and startups in the nashville

5972
03:29:08,943 --> 03:29:10,110
community. Thank you.

5973
03:29:10,110 --> 03:29:12,110
Thank you.

5974
03:29:14,150 --> 03:29:15,750
Go ahead sir. You're recognized.

5975
03:29:15,750 --> 03:29:16,500
All right.

5976
03:29:16,500 --> 03:29:16,918
My.

5977
03:29:16,918 --> 03:29:18,918
Name is bob

5978
03:29:19,654 --> 03:29:20,822
regan. I reside at 2410 blair

5979
03:29:20,822 --> 03:29:22,556
boulevard in hillsborough, west

5980
03:29:22,556 --> 03:29:24,192
end neighborhood. Speaking

5981
03:29:24,192 --> 03:29:25,793
in support of the sp zoning for

5982
03:29:25,793 --> 03:29:27,328
the vanderbilt innovation

5983
03:29:27,328 --> 03:29:28,663
neighborhood. But first, I'd

5984
03:29:28,663 --> 03:29:30,231
like to take this opportunity

5985
03:29:30,231 --> 03:29:32,660
to extend a thank you to the

5986
03:29:32,660 --> 03:29:34,102
city of nashville. I arrived

5987
03:29:34,102 --> 03:29:35,837
here 41 years ago with my young

5988
03:29:35,837 --> 03:29:37,710
family, three months rent in my

5989
03:29:37,710 --> 03:29:39,140
pocket, and a dream of making

5990
03:29:39,140 --> 03:29:40,541
it as a songwriter. I'd heard

5991
03:29:40,541 --> 03:29:42,376
the city had a welcoming

5992
03:29:42,376 --> 03:29:43,844
creative ecosystem where with

5993
03:29:43,844 --> 03:29:45,946
hard work, talent and luck, one

5994
03:29:45,946 --> 03:29:47,648
might catch an updraft. For our

5995
03:29:47,648 --> 03:29:48,682
first year. Thanks to the food

5996
03:29:48,682 --> 03:29:49,884
bank, we had plenty of

5997
03:29:49,884 --> 03:29:51,884
government cheese powdered

5998
03:29:52,119 --> 03:29:53,187
milk. Our children received

5999
03:29:53,187 --> 03:29:54,622
excellent medical care at the

6000
03:29:54,622 --> 03:29:56,290
community health centers. I was

6001
03:29:56,290 --> 03:29:57,491
one of the lucky ones. I began

6002
03:29:57,491 --> 03:29:59,260
to have some success and no

6003
03:29:59,260 --> 03:30:00,728
longer needed these services.

6004
03:30:00,728 --> 03:30:02,429
The first time my son had a

6005
03:30:02,429 --> 03:30:03,898
glass of whole milk from kroger,

6006
03:30:03,898 --> 03:30:07,340
he said, dad, this milk tastes

6007
03:30:07,340 --> 03:30:08,269
funny. In the ensuing decades,

6008
03:30:08,269 --> 03:30:09,971
I purchased several properties

6009
03:30:09,971 --> 03:30:11,272
here and paid well into the six

6010
03:30:11,272 --> 03:30:12,607
figures in property tax, as

6011
03:30:12,607 --> 03:30:15,142
well as an untold amount of

6012
03:30:15,142 --> 03:30:16,577
sales tax. Upon retiring, I

6013
03:30:16,577 --> 03:30:18,145
founded a nonprofit pairing

6014
03:30:18,145 --> 03:30:19,814
writers with veterans to help

6015
03:30:19,814 --> 03:30:22,820
them tell their stories. In

6016
03:30:22,820 --> 03:30:23,617
song 2500 counting. I would

6017
03:30:23,617 --> 03:30:24,952
like to think that where I'm

6018
03:30:24,952 --> 03:30:27,210
concerned, nashville's roi is

6019
03:30:27,210 --> 03:30:28,222
in the plus column, minus a few

6020
03:30:28,222 --> 03:30:29,823
points from my playing guitar

6021
03:30:29,823 --> 03:30:32,223
for bonner's wild game

6022
03:30:32,860 --> 03:30:34,610
supper fundraisers. I don't say

6023
03:30:34,610 --> 03:30:36,300
this to brag, but rather to

6024
03:30:36,300 --> 03:30:37,980
point out that our city will be

6025
03:30:37,980 --> 03:30:38,532
well served by expanding its

6026
03:30:38,532 --> 03:30:39,800
welcoming, creative character.

6027
03:30:39,800 --> 03:30:42,103
This development will attract

6028
03:30:42,103 --> 03:30:42,837
not tourists, but visionaries,

6029
03:30:42,837 --> 03:30:44,605
entrepreneurs, and builders

6030
03:30:44,605 --> 03:30:45,873
from around the world. The

6031
03:30:45,873 --> 03:30:47,141
demographic rocket fuel that

6032
03:30:47,141 --> 03:30:49,309
makes nashville the envy of

6033
03:30:49,309 --> 03:30:50,945
other cities. We could jam the

6034
03:30:50,945 --> 03:30:52,279
gears and slow or even stop

6035
03:30:52,279 --> 03:30:53,948
this bill, but the development

6036
03:30:53,948 --> 03:30:55,415
is coming one way or the other.

6037
03:30:55,415 --> 03:30:57,318
This sb will make it coherent

6038
03:30:57,318 --> 03:30:58,719
and cohesive. Let's move on to

6039
03:30:58,719 --> 03:31:00,788
the third reading. Or as the

6040
03:31:00,788 --> 03:31:03,424
old timers say in tennessee nut

6041
03:31:03,424 --> 03:31:05,590
cutting time. Thank you for

6042
03:31:05,590 --> 03:31:07,961
allowing me and others like me

6043
03:31:07,961 --> 03:31:10,931
the opportunity to realize our our open arm, forward

6044
03:31:10,931 --> 03:31:12,990
looking city. With my remaining

6045
03:31:12,990 --> 03:31:13,267
five seconds, I'd like to

6046
03:31:13,267 --> 03:31:16,267
request one of those tomatoes

6047
03:31:16,270 --> 03:31:19,139
right there in that desk.

6048
03:31:19,139 --> 03:31:21,341
Council member cap, the host

6049
03:31:21,341 --> 03:31:24,211
council member of tomato fest

6050
03:31:24,211 --> 03:31:27,211
will have to make that

6051
03:31:28,182 --> 03:31:29,583
determination. Yeah.

6052
03:31:29,583 --> 03:31:31,583
Thank you.

6053
03:31:31,752 --> 03:31:34,688
We are so nashville. If. Right.

6054
03:31:34,688 --> 03:31:35,756
Okay. Go ahead, sir, you're

6055
03:31:35,756 --> 03:31:36,890
recognized.

6056
03:31:36,890 --> 03:31:38,259
Talk about a tough

6057
03:31:38,259 --> 03:31:39,560
act to follow. Hey. Good

6058
03:31:39,560 --> 03:31:40,861
evening, members of the council.

6059
03:31:40,861 --> 03:31:42,300
My name is dakota simpson. I'm

6060
03:31:42,300 --> 03:31:43,331
the chief program officer at

6061
03:31:43,331 --> 03:31:45,331
the nashville entrepreneur

6062
03:31:45,432 --> 03:31:46,900
center. We rise strongly in

6063
03:31:46,900 --> 03:31:49,300
support of what's presented

6064
03:31:49,470 --> 03:31:51,239
today with the vanderbilt

6065
03:31:51,239 --> 03:31:52,239
innovation district. The

6066
03:31:52,239 --> 03:31:53,407
entrepreneur center exists to

6067
03:31:53,407 --> 03:31:55,442
make nashville the best place

6068
03:31:55,442 --> 03:31:56,644
in america to start and grow a

6069
03:31:56,644 --> 03:31:58,812
business. Last year, we served

6070
03:31:58,812 --> 03:31:59,514
more than 500 founders.

6071
03:31:59,514 --> 03:32:01,282
Collectively. This year, we're

6072
03:32:01,282 --> 03:32:03,451
on track for 750. Next year,

6073
03:32:03,451 --> 03:32:04,919
we're projecting 1000 founders.

6074
03:32:04,919 --> 03:32:06,621
Those entrepreneurs create

6075
03:32:06,621 --> 03:32:08,189
hundreds of jobs and raise tens

6076
03:32:08,189 --> 03:32:09,791
of millions of dollars in

6077
03:32:09,791 --> 03:32:11,910
capital right here in nashville.

6078
03:32:11,910 --> 03:32:12,493
And I think that makes

6079
03:32:12,493 --> 03:32:14,261
nashville very, very special.

6080
03:32:14,261 --> 03:32:16,290
Here's what a decade of work

6081
03:32:16,290 --> 03:32:17,965
has taught us. Proximity

6082
03:32:17,965 --> 03:32:18,699
absolutely matters for these

6083
03:32:18,699 --> 03:32:20,699
entrepreneurs. Research from

6084
03:32:20,802 --> 03:32:22,102
the kauffman institute, a

6085
03:32:22,102 --> 03:32:23,237
leading institute

6086
03:32:23,237 --> 03:32:25,390
entrepreneurial research,

6087
03:32:25,390 --> 03:32:26,874
should suggest that innovation

6088
03:32:26,874 --> 03:32:28,874
happens through intentional

6089
03:32:29,430 --> 03:32:30,780
collisions. The unplanned

6090
03:32:30,780 --> 03:32:32,246
conversations that turn ideas

6091
03:32:32,246 --> 03:32:34,480
into companies. That only

6092
03:32:34,480 --> 03:32:35,483
happens when entrepreneurs,

6093
03:32:35,483 --> 03:32:37,483
researchers, and innovators

6094
03:32:37,652 --> 03:32:39,860
share the same address. We see

6095
03:32:39,860 --> 03:32:40,587
this every day through the

6096
03:32:40,587 --> 03:32:41,989
leading global health care

6097
03:32:41,989 --> 03:32:43,458
accelerator that's ran right

6098
03:32:43,458 --> 03:32:44,658
here in nashville, tennessee.

6099
03:32:44,658 --> 03:32:46,293
Project health care. Just in

6100
03:32:46,293 --> 03:32:48,496
ourlast class alone, we had

6101
03:32:48,496 --> 03:32:50,496
founders from botswana,

6102
03:32:50,631 --> 03:32:52,499
australia, south korea, europe,

6103
03:32:52,499 --> 03:32:54,268
the west coast, the northeast.

6104
03:32:54,268 --> 03:32:55,637
They come here due to our

6105
03:32:55,637 --> 03:32:57,805
proximity to health care

6106
03:32:57,805 --> 03:32:59,607
systems, clinicians, innovators

6107
03:32:59,607 --> 03:33:01,442
and projects such as this will

6108
03:33:01,442 --> 03:33:02,844
only accelerate that growth.

6109
03:33:02,844 --> 03:33:04,379
And just to make sure it's

6110
03:33:04,379 --> 03:33:05,580
tangible, just in the past year

6111
03:33:05,580 --> 03:33:07,614
alone, we've had three of these

6112
03:33:07,614 --> 03:33:09,716
health care founders relocate

6113
03:33:09,716 --> 03:33:11,118
to nashville because of that

6114
03:33:11,118 --> 03:33:12,286
proximity. And we're firm

6115
03:33:12,286 --> 03:33:14,722
believers. This is going to

6116
03:33:14,722 --> 03:33:15,823
further, increase that. So

6117
03:33:15,823 --> 03:33:17,291
nashville has the talent and

6118
03:33:17,291 --> 03:33:18,359
the momentum. Cities like

6119
03:33:18,359 --> 03:33:20,828
atlanta and saint louis have

6120
03:33:20,828 --> 03:33:22,997
invested deeply into, but they

6121
03:33:22,997 --> 03:33:24,831
lack the connected innovation

6122
03:33:24,831 --> 03:33:26,266
districts. And what we need is

6123
03:33:26,266 --> 03:33:27,868
infrastructure to match our

6124
03:33:27,868 --> 03:33:29,403
ambition. And it is our belief

6125
03:33:29,403 --> 03:33:30,538
that this is going to be able

6126
03:33:30,538 --> 03:33:32,339
to do so. This project will

6127
03:33:32,339 --> 03:33:33,840
take a surface parking lot and

6128
03:33:33,840 --> 03:33:35,309
turn that into this

6129
03:33:35,309 --> 03:33:37,440
foundational infrastructure.

6130
03:33:37,440 --> 03:33:38,879
That's acceleration fuel. This

6131
03:33:38,879 --> 03:33:39,881
is not simply a real estate

6132
03:33:39,881 --> 03:33:40,948
project. It's a strategic

6133
03:33:40,948 --> 03:33:42,948
investment in nashville's

6134
03:33:43,184 --> 03:33:43,517
future. We thank you for your

6135
03:33:43,517 --> 03:33:44,952
support.

6136
03:33:44,952 --> 03:33:47,352
Thank you. Go ahead.

6137
03:33:50,910 --> 03:33:50,358
Ma'am. You're recognized.

6138
03:33:50,358 --> 03:33:52,193
Good

6139
03:33:52,193 --> 03:33:52,593
evening. My name is megan.

6140
03:33:52,593 --> 03:33:53,995
And

6141
03:33:53,995 --> 03:33:56,530
I'm the PRESIDENT Of the

6142
03:33:56,530 --> 03:33:58,332
bristol west end condominium

6143
03:33:58,332 --> 03:34:00,670
association at 3000 vanderbilt

6144
03:34:00,670 --> 03:34:01,969
place. After lengthy

6145
03:34:01,969 --> 03:34:03,969
negotiations with vanderbilt

6146
03:34:04,380 --> 03:34:05,506
university, bweca and

6147
03:34:05,506 --> 03:34:06,874
vanderbilt have reached a

6148
03:34:06,874 --> 03:34:08,409
memorandum of understanding

6149
03:34:08,409 --> 03:34:10,512
addressing a number of issues

6150
03:34:10,512 --> 03:34:11,979
arising from the specific plan

6151
03:34:11,979 --> 03:34:13,148
in consideration of

6152
03:34:13,148 --> 03:34:15,148
vanderbilt's commitments. Under

6153
03:34:18,152 --> 03:34:20,221
that agreement. Bweca supports specific plan

6154
03:34:20,221 --> 03:34:22,389
and its amendments. Individual

6155
03:34:22,389 --> 03:34:24,692
unit owners MAY hold their own

6156
03:34:24,692 --> 03:34:27,161
opinions, but the bwec supports

6157
03:34:27,161 --> 03:34:29,363
the specific plan based on the

6158
03:34:29,363 --> 03:34:31,310
mou. We appreciate vanderbilt's

6159
03:34:31,310 --> 03:34:32,867
engagement very much and

6160
03:34:32,867 --> 03:34:34,635
council member kash's attention

6161
03:34:34,635 --> 03:34:36,470
to our community's concerns

6162
03:34:36,470 --> 03:34:36,770
throughout this process. Thank

6163
03:34:36,770 --> 03:34:38,770
you.

6164
03:34:39,600 --> 03:34:41,406
Thank you. Go ahead.

6165
03:34:41,509 --> 03:34:42,610
You're recognized.

6166
03:34:42,610 --> 03:34:44,610
Good evening.

6167
03:34:44,745 --> 03:34:46,914
I'm kim hawkins, a resident of

6168
03:34:46,914 --> 03:34:48,683
2205 natchez trace. And I'm

6169
03:34:48,683 --> 03:34:49,850
speaking tonight as a 32 year

6170
03:34:49,850 --> 03:34:51,952
resident of hillsborough west

6171
03:34:51,952 --> 03:34:53,210
end neighborhood, as well as a

6172
03:34:53,210 --> 03:34:54,422
landscape architect and urban

6173
03:34:54,422 --> 03:34:56,822
planner with 40 years working

6174
03:34:57,250 --> 03:34:58,392
in nashville. I've participated

6175
03:34:58,392 --> 03:35:00,194
in the small neighborhood

6176
03:35:00,194 --> 03:35:01,295
stakeholder meetings and the

6177
03:35:01,295 --> 03:35:03,230
community meetings for this

6178
03:35:03,230 --> 03:35:05,299
project for over two years, and

6179
03:35:05,299 --> 03:35:07,101
have studied the specific plan

6180
03:35:07,101 --> 03:35:08,869
closely. While no plan is

6181
03:35:08,869 --> 03:35:11,710
perfect, I support this s p

6182
03:35:11,710 --> 03:35:12,606
because the thoughtful design

6183
03:35:12,606 --> 03:35:14,575
offers a far better for

6184
03:35:14,575 --> 03:35:16,810
our community than what could

6185
03:35:16,810 --> 03:35:18,846
be built today. By right. A few

6186
03:35:18,846 --> 03:35:20,748
key points stand out for both

6187
03:35:20,748 --> 03:35:23,617
the neighbor and the planning

6188
03:35:23,617 --> 03:35:25,153
standpoint. One open space. I'm

6189
03:35:25,153 --> 03:35:26,520
really pleased to see the open

6190
03:35:26,520 --> 03:35:28,756
space and the meander embedded

6191
03:35:28,756 --> 03:35:29,723
as a core requirement,

6192
03:35:29,723 --> 03:35:31,258
guaranteeing at least three

6193
03:35:31,258 --> 03:35:33,327
acres of publicly accessible

6194
03:35:33,327 --> 03:35:34,829
open space that creates

6195
03:35:34,829 --> 03:35:36,196
walkable, bikeable connections

6196
03:35:36,196 --> 03:35:38,365
and gathering space for the

6197
03:35:38,365 --> 03:35:40,534
broader community. Height and

6198
03:35:40,534 --> 03:35:43,700
scale. The s p cuts the allowed

6199
03:35:43,700 --> 03:35:44,471
by right limit height limit on

6200
03:35:44,471 --> 03:35:46,241
blakemore avenue. Our

6201
03:35:46,241 --> 03:35:48,609
neighborhoods edge by more than

6202
03:35:48,609 --> 03:35:50,244
half, capping it at ten stories

6203
03:35:50,244 --> 03:35:52,460
and also providing design

6204
03:35:52,460 --> 03:35:54,460
standards which regulate

6205
03:35:54,214 --> 03:35:55,282
permitted uses, facade

6206
03:35:55,282 --> 03:35:56,717
requirements, block length,

6207
03:35:56,717 --> 03:35:58,986
building height and massing for

6208
03:35:58,986 --> 03:36:01,386
the entire district. Traffic

6209
03:36:01,455 --> 03:36:03,223
and parking neighbor concerns

6210
03:36:03,223 --> 03:36:05,325
regarding event day traffic are

6211
03:36:05,325 --> 03:36:06,827
valid and require ongoing

6212
03:36:06,827 --> 03:36:08,827
attention. However, vanderbilt

6213
03:36:11,165 --> 03:36:12,566
has a proven track record here

6214
03:36:12,566 --> 03:36:13,300
between 2019 and 2020 for their

6215
03:36:13,300 --> 03:36:14,735
transportation demand

6216
03:36:14,735 --> 03:36:16,203
management program. Reduce

6217
03:36:16,203 --> 03:36:17,604
single occupancy vehicle

6218
03:36:17,604 --> 03:36:19,406
commuting by roughly 30

6219
03:36:19,406 --> 03:36:21,806
percentage points, and doubled

6220
03:36:23,344 --> 03:36:24,512
walking commuters from 6 to 13%.

6221
03:36:24,512 --> 03:36:26,912
Vanderbilt's tdm program is

6222
03:36:26,914 --> 03:36:29,149
really a model for others. By

6223
03:36:29,149 --> 03:36:30,250
pairing institutional policy

6224
03:36:30,250 --> 03:36:31,652
with city investments like

6225
03:36:31,652 --> 03:36:33,454
choose how you move, this

6226
03:36:33,454 --> 03:36:35,689
innovation district can scale

6227
03:36:35,689 --> 03:36:36,723
active transit and greenway

6228
03:36:36,723 --> 03:36:38,525
connections to benefit the

6229
03:36:38,525 --> 03:36:40,794
entire midtown and hillsborough

6230
03:36:40,794 --> 03:36:42,796
west end area. I urge council

6231
03:36:42,796 --> 03:36:45,320
to support this s p as it gives

6232
03:36:45,320 --> 03:36:46,330
our neighborhood much stronger

6233
03:36:46,330 --> 03:36:47,134
protections and public

6234
03:36:47,134 --> 03:36:47,868
amenities than the current by

6235
03:36:47,868 --> 03:36:49,868
right development.

6236
03:36:50,771 --> 03:36:52,771
Thank you.

6237
03:36:53,640 --> 03:36:54,775
Go ahead. You're recognized.

6238
03:36:54,775 --> 03:36:56,844
Council members, thank you so

6239
03:36:56,844 --> 03:36:58,679
much for your time tonight. My

6240
03:36:58,679 --> 03:36:59,713
name is megan sigler, and I'm a

6241
03:36:59,713 --> 03:37:01,713
professional traffic engineer

6242
03:37:02,649 --> 03:37:05,490
with kci technologies. We

6243
03:37:05,853 --> 03:37:08,253
conducted the multi modal,

6244
03:37:08,689 --> 03:37:10,689
transportation analysis, in

6245
03:37:12,260 --> 03:37:13,760
accordance with indot standards.

6246
03:37:13,760 --> 03:37:15,295
And as a part of that study, we

6247
03:37:15,295 --> 03:37:17,650
evaluated not only the

6248
03:37:17,650 --> 03:37:18,866
vehicular network, but the

6249
03:37:18,866 --> 03:37:20,734
pedestrian bicycle and transit

6250
03:37:20,734 --> 03:37:22,690
network as well to make sure

6251
03:37:22,690 --> 03:37:24,469
that vanderbilt was covering

6252
03:37:24,572 --> 03:37:27,508
every possible path that they

6253
03:37:27,508 --> 03:37:28,876
could. Indot has reviewed and

6254
03:37:28,876 --> 03:37:31,450
agreed with the recommendations

6255
03:37:31,450 --> 03:37:32,479
that were included in our study,

6256
03:37:32,479 --> 03:37:34,248
as well as setting forth some

6257
03:37:34,248 --> 03:37:37,248
additional standards on top of

6258
03:37:37,551 --> 03:37:38,619
that, based off the, this

6259
03:37:38,619 --> 03:37:40,755
development is in agreement

6260
03:37:40,755 --> 03:37:42,589
with all of those conditions,

6261
03:37:42,589 --> 03:37:44,240
which includes roadway and

6262
03:37:44,240 --> 03:37:46,240
intersection improvements, as

6263
03:37:46,161 --> 03:37:47,961
well as continued traffic

6264
03:37:47,961 --> 03:37:50,961
monitoring as each parcel is

6265
03:37:50,998 --> 03:37:52,267
developed. And traffic calming

6266
03:37:52,267 --> 03:37:54,134
gives throughout the entie

6267
03:37:54,134 --> 03:37:55,903
lifetime of the project. Thank

6268
03:37:55,903 --> 03:37:57,704
you so much for your support.

6269
03:37:57,704 --> 03:38:00,942
Thank you. Go ahead. Come on

6270
03:38:00,942 --> 03:38:01,342
forward. You're recognized.

6271
03:38:01,342 --> 03:38:03,144
Hi,

6272
03:38:03,144 --> 03:38:04,912
my name is wendy monday and I

6273
03:38:04,912 --> 03:38:06,381
live with my family on ashland

6274
03:38:06,381 --> 03:38:07,515
avenue, just across from

6275
03:38:07,515 --> 03:38:08,649
vanderbilt. My husband and I

6276
03:38:08,649 --> 03:38:09,918
have hosted small group

6277
03:38:09,918 --> 03:38:11,752
meetings in our home to discuss

6278
03:38:11,752 --> 03:38:13,555
this plan with our neighbors.

6279
03:38:13,555 --> 03:38:14,956
As a resident of this

6280
03:38:14,956 --> 03:38:16,191
neighborhood and a mother of a

6281
03:38:16,191 --> 03:38:17,926
four year old son, I'm very

6282
03:38:17,926 --> 03:38:19,727
much in favor of innovation,

6283
03:38:19,727 --> 03:38:21,161
vanderbilt, and how it can

6284
03:38:21,161 --> 03:38:22,429
enhance the livability of this

6285
03:38:22,429 --> 03:38:23,965
neighborhood that we will live

6286
03:38:23,965 --> 03:38:25,767
in for years and years to come.

6287
03:38:25,767 --> 03:38:27,635
Better connections to parks and

6288
03:38:27,635 --> 03:38:29,370
open space is selfishly very

6289
03:38:29,370 --> 03:38:31,172
important to me. We already

6290
03:38:31,172 --> 03:38:32,440
enjoy dragon park every single

6291
03:38:32,440 --> 03:38:34,174
day and look forward to a plan

6292
03:38:34,174 --> 03:38:35,476
that strengthens strengthens

6293
03:38:35,476 --> 03:38:37,311
connections from dragon park to

6294
03:38:37,311 --> 03:38:39,882
centennial park to the broader

6295
03:38:39,882 --> 03:38:41,649
neighborhood. I'm excited about

6296
03:38:41,649 --> 03:38:43,830
safer, more walkable streets.

6297
03:38:43,830 --> 03:38:44,485
Additional crosswalks across

6298
03:38:44,485 --> 03:38:45,920
31st avenue, west end and

6299
03:38:45,920 --> 03:38:47,920
natchez trace, and

6300
03:38:48,890 --> 03:38:50,489
approximately 1.7 miles of new

6301
03:38:50,691 --> 03:38:52,392
and improved sidewalks. And

6302
03:38:52,392 --> 03:38:53,528
last but not least, this s p

6303
03:38:53,528 --> 03:38:55,296
lays important groundwork for

6304
03:38:55,296 --> 03:38:57,132
the city's transit improvements

6305
03:38:57,132 --> 03:38:58,932
along west end via the choose

6306
03:38:58,932 --> 03:39:00,268
how you move initiative, you

6307
03:39:00,268 --> 03:39:01,769
will be hard pressed to find

6308
03:39:01,769 --> 03:39:03,671
someone more excited about

6309
03:39:03,671 --> 03:39:05,373
riding a bus than a four year

6310
03:39:05,373 --> 03:39:07,208
old, so this is particularly

6311
03:39:07,208 --> 03:39:08,843
exciting to our family. I urge

6312
03:39:08,843 --> 03:39:10,210
you to move forward with this s

6313
03:39:10,210 --> 03:39:12,947
p and look forward to enjoying

6314
03:39:12,947 --> 03:39:14,382
the benefits ofthis plan.

6315
03:39:14,382 --> 03:39:17,982
Thank you. Go ahead sir. Come

6316
03:39:19,454 --> 03:39:20,888
on forward. You're recognized.

6317
03:39:20,888 --> 03:39:22,657
Good evening. My name is jt

6318
03:39:22,657 --> 03:39:24,191
spangler. I'm a resident of

6319
03:39:24,191 --> 03:39:25,527
hillsborough west end. With

6320
03:39:25,527 --> 03:39:27,328
that lovely lady here. We had

6321
03:39:27,328 --> 03:39:29,197
to get a babysitter to be here

6322
03:39:29,197 --> 03:39:30,298
tonight. And this is not our

6323
03:39:30,298 --> 03:39:32,200
best date night ever, I will

6324
03:39:32,200 --> 03:39:33,535
say. But it's important to us.

6325
03:39:33,535 --> 03:39:35,270
And I think everyone who's come

6326
03:39:35,270 --> 03:39:37,205
before me has said most of what

6327
03:39:37,205 --> 03:39:38,272
I would have said. So what I'll

6328
03:39:38,272 --> 03:39:39,274
do instead is show you

6329
03:39:39,274 --> 03:39:40,441
something that I've been

6330
03:39:40,441 --> 03:39:42,310
thinking for the last couple

6331
03:39:42,310 --> 03:39:43,410
hours, because I see a lot of

6332
03:39:43,410 --> 03:39:44,412
my neighbors wearing these very

6333
03:39:44,412 --> 03:39:46,281
colorful green t shirts that

6334
03:39:46,281 --> 03:39:47,415
say cap the vulture. And I've

6335
03:39:47,415 --> 03:39:49,284
decided that cap the vulture

6336
03:39:49,284 --> 03:39:50,785
must mean cap restrict the

6337
03:39:50,785 --> 03:39:52,785
vulture, vanderbilt gulch,

6338
03:39:52,954 --> 03:39:54,689
maybe. And that's confusing to

6339
03:39:54,689 --> 03:39:56,891
me because I remember the gulch

6340
03:39:56,891 --> 03:39:59,270
and it was basically just train

6341
03:39:59,270 --> 03:40:00,728
yards and adult stores and the

6342
03:40:00,728 --> 03:40:01,896
station, and it looked like the

6343
03:40:01,896 --> 03:40:04,650
setting for a whitesnake video.

6344
03:40:04,650 --> 03:40:05,600
So I'm not sure why we wouldn't

6345
03:40:05,600 --> 03:40:07,635
want to turn parking lots into

6346
03:40:07,635 --> 03:40:09,838
a connected and intentional

6347
03:40:09,838 --> 03:40:11,706
neighborhood. That was

6348
03:40:11,706 --> 03:40:12,808
confusing to me, to be honest,

6349
03:40:12,808 --> 03:40:14,909
but I know my neighbors mean

6350
03:40:14,909 --> 03:40:16,277
well. I talked to them a lot,

6351
03:40:16,277 --> 03:40:19,277
talked with vanderbilt a lot,

6352
03:40:19,481 --> 03:40:21,349
talked with COUNCILMAN Cash.

6353
03:40:21,349 --> 03:40:23,885
And as my wife said, we'd be

6354
03:40:23,885 --> 03:40:24,986
very excited to have, a

6355
03:40:24,986 --> 03:40:26,200
connected, intentional

6356
03:40:26,200 --> 03:40:27,880
development with a lot of

6357
03:40:27,880 --> 03:40:28,490
pedestrian space, a lot of

6358
03:40:28,490 --> 03:40:30,890
traffic control, working with

6359
03:40:32,861 --> 03:40:34,629
mndot and with wego, to do

6360
03:40:34,629 --> 03:40:36,398
something intentional versus

6361
03:40:36,398 --> 03:40:37,932
what the entitlements by right

6362
03:40:37,932 --> 03:40:40,401
allow, which frankly is not

6363
03:40:40,401 --> 03:40:42,203
great. And for that reason, I

6364
03:40:42,203 --> 03:40:45,203
encourage you to support these

6365
03:40:45,407 --> 03:40:45,807
amendments and, pass them.

6366
03:40:45,807 --> 03:40:47,242
All

6367
03:40:47,242 --> 03:40:48,910
right. Thank you. Is anyone

6368
03:40:48,910 --> 03:40:51,579
else seeking to be recognized

6369
03:40:51,579 --> 03:40:52,647
to speak in support? Okay.

6370
03:40:52,647 --> 03:40:54,516
Seeing none, we're going to

6371
03:40:54,516 --> 03:40:57,418
move on to those who wish to

6372
03:40:57,418 --> 03:40:59,121
speak in opposition. If you

6373
03:40:59,121 --> 03:41:02,357
wish to speak, if you would

6374
03:41:02,357 --> 03:41:04,225
please line up at this time.

6375
03:41:04,225 --> 03:41:06,361
Again for those first speakers,

6376
03:41:06,361 --> 03:41:08,863
come on forward into that

6377
03:41:08,863 --> 03:41:12,463
initial space up to the podium

6378
03:41:16,104 --> 03:41:18,973
and is others, line up. Let's

6379
03:41:18,973 --> 03:41:21,276
keep it around. Ten folks. That

6380
03:41:21,276 --> 03:41:23,611
means nobody's really waiting

6381
03:41:23,611 --> 03:41:25,446
for long or standing up.

6382
03:41:25,446 --> 03:41:28,316
Everyone who wishes to be heard

6383
03:41:28,316 --> 03:41:31,916
will be heard. All right, who's

6384
03:41:33,540 --> 03:41:34,880
first? Come on up, sir.

6385
03:41:34,880 --> 03:41:35,156
I'm joe

6386
03:41:35,156 --> 03:41:36,224
johnston.

6387
03:41:36,224 --> 03:41:38,193
MR. Johnston, can you

6388
03:41:38,193 --> 03:41:40,596
pull the mic a little closer to

6389
03:41:40,596 --> 03:41:42,300
your mouth? Thank you, sir.

6390
03:41:42,300 --> 03:41:44,899
Members of council, I'm joe

6391
03:41:44,899 --> 03:41:47,769
johnston. I'm here presenting a

6392
03:41:47,769 --> 03:41:50,271
cautionary tale. I'm one of the

6393
03:41:50,271 --> 03:41:52,474
last living survivors of the

6394
03:41:52,474 --> 03:41:54,474
vanderbilt urban renewal

6395
03:41:55,643 --> 03:41:57,111
debacle in the 1970s, where

6396
03:41:57,111 --> 03:41:58,313
vanderbilt to the housing

6397
03:41:58,313 --> 03:42:00,713
authority and the federal

6398
03:42:00,915 --> 03:42:02,484
government condemned 120 acres

6399
03:42:02,484 --> 03:42:04,884
of residential property for

6400
03:42:05,787 --> 03:42:07,489
their expansion. And I was

6401
03:42:07,489 --> 03:42:09,357
involved in litigation with

6402
03:42:09,357 --> 03:42:11,593
vanderbilt for almost 14 years.

6403
03:42:11,593 --> 03:42:15,793
So I know a little bit about

6404
03:42:18,333 --> 03:42:20,568
what I speak. I'm the last

6405
03:42:20,568 --> 03:42:21,970
surviving ex property owner of

6406
03:42:21,970 --> 03:42:24,370
the vanderbilt urban renewal

6407
03:42:25,540 --> 03:42:27,410
project from 1968 to 1984,

6408
03:42:27,410 --> 03:42:29,511
during which time my ancestral

6409
03:42:29,511 --> 03:42:31,379
home at 3013 vanderbilt place

6410
03:42:31,379 --> 03:42:32,413
was condemned as a part of an

6411
03:42:32,413 --> 03:42:34,413
unconstitutional land

6412
03:42:34,682 --> 03:42:37,552
acquisition, for the purpose of

6413
03:42:37,552 --> 03:42:39,254
which was to purpose of which

6414
03:42:39,254 --> 03:42:40,722
was to qualify for federal

6415
03:42:40,722 --> 03:42:41,756
matching funds to pay for

6416
03:42:41,756 --> 03:42:43,259
capital improvements required

6417
03:42:43,259 --> 03:42:45,659
to support the university's

6418
03:42:45,760 --> 03:42:48,663
future expansion. In spite of

6419
03:42:48,663 --> 03:42:51,630
the projections of vanderbilt's

6420
03:42:53,368 --> 03:42:55,503
second hundred year plan. The

6421
03:42:55,503 --> 03:42:57,903
acquired land was not

6422
03:42:57,972 --> 03:43:00,372
redeveloped for student housing

6423
03:43:00,809 --> 03:43:03,111
but was paved over to create 18

6424
03:43:03,111 --> 03:43:06,111
acres of ground level parking,

6425
03:43:07,649 --> 03:43:09,830
which is there today. Trust is

6426
03:43:09,830 --> 03:43:12,420
something you need to be aware

6427
03:43:12,420 --> 03:43:15,190
of. There's a lot of smoke and

6428
03:43:15,190 --> 03:43:16,324
mirrors here, and you need to

6429
03:43:16,324 --> 03:43:19,594
be very careful with the fine

6430
03:43:19,594 --> 03:43:22,970
print. Parking is something is

6431
03:43:22,970 --> 03:43:23,198
something that nobody is

6432
03:43:23,198 --> 03:43:25,266
advocating. This program is

6433
03:43:25,266 --> 03:43:27,135
talked about. Parking is a

6434
03:43:27,135 --> 03:43:29,671
major, major problem for our

6435
03:43:29,671 --> 03:43:31,806
neighborhood now, as well as in

6436
03:43:31,806 --> 03:43:34,806
the future. What about the

6437
03:43:35,440 --> 03:43:36,110
future? Comment was made that

6438
03:43:36,110 --> 03:43:38,646
all this development is going

6439
03:43:38,646 --> 03:43:40,646
to be.

6440
03:43:41,549 --> 03:43:44,549
Thank you sir. Your time

6441
03:43:45,820 --> 03:43:46,888
has expired.

6442
03:43:46,888 --> 03:43:48,756
Meredith live in

6443
03:43:48,756 --> 03:43:50,558
hillsborough, west end, and

6444
03:43:50,558 --> 03:43:52,327
with MR. Johnson's permission,

6445
03:43:52,327 --> 03:43:54,529
I will continue his remarks.

6446
03:43:54,529 --> 03:43:56,929
Sure, existing surface parking

6447
03:43:57,366 --> 03:43:58,399
lots MAY remain or be minimally

6448
03:43:58,399 --> 03:44:00,602
improved, provided that the

6449
03:44:00,602 --> 03:44:03,200
degree of nonconformity with

6450
03:44:03,138 --> 03:44:05,307
standards of this sp is not

6451
03:44:05,307 --> 03:44:07,760
increased. Temporary surface

6452
03:44:07,760 --> 03:44:08,176
parking MAY be permitted on

6453
03:44:08,176 --> 03:44:10,176
parcels awaiting development.

6454
03:44:10,348 --> 03:44:12,348
For example, following

6455
03:44:12,814 --> 03:44:13,948
demolition due to site specific

6456
03:44:13,948 --> 03:44:15,783
topography, portions of a

6457
03:44:15,783 --> 03:44:17,485
garage MAY be considered below

6458
03:44:17,485 --> 03:44:19,688
grade based on the average

6459
03:44:19,688 --> 03:44:21,156
adjacent ground elevation.

6460
03:44:21,156 --> 03:44:22,858
Additionally, parking

6461
03:44:22,858 --> 03:44:25,258
structures MAY connect below

6462
03:44:26,661 --> 03:44:27,996
grade across streets. Believe

6463
03:44:27,996 --> 03:44:30,980
that's the conclusion of his

6464
03:44:30,980 --> 03:44:31,967
remarks, if I MAY add my own. I

6465
03:44:31,967 --> 03:44:34,350
heard about a two year process.

6466
03:44:34,350 --> 03:44:36,337
I can say I participated in

6467
03:44:36,337 --> 03:44:38,808
several meetings, most of which

6468
03:44:38,808 --> 03:44:40,208
were about this glorious linear

6469
03:44:40,208 --> 03:44:43,112
park we were going to have, and

6470
03:44:43,112 --> 03:44:44,913
I didn't hear about skyscrapers

6471
03:44:44,913 --> 03:44:46,283
bigger than those downtown

6472
03:44:46,283 --> 03:44:48,884
until pretty late in the

6473
03:44:48,884 --> 03:44:50,985
process. I so appreciate what

6474
03:44:50,985 --> 03:44:52,153
COUNCILMAN Cash is doing to

6475
03:44:52,153 --> 03:44:53,856
moderate negative

6476
03:44:53,856 --> 03:44:55,230
effects of this on our

6477
03:44:55,230 --> 03:44:56,758
neighborhood, but we do need

6478
03:44:56,758 --> 03:44:58,927
more time to fine tune. In fact,

6479
03:44:58,927 --> 03:45:01,564
I heard one of the supporters

6480
03:45:01,564 --> 03:45:03,265
this evening, reference a point

6481
03:45:03,265 --> 03:45:06,265
that is not consistent with

6482
03:45:07,168 --> 03:45:08,237
what council member cash has

6483
03:45:08,237 --> 03:45:10,720
proposed. So you can see

6484
03:45:10,720 --> 03:45:11,607
there's still some confusion, I

6485
03:45:11,607 --> 03:45:13,308
think some fine tuning. I don't

6486
03:45:13,308 --> 03:45:15,109
know that anyone here is

6487
03:45:15,109 --> 03:45:16,178
opposed to the innovation

6488
03:45:16,178 --> 03:45:17,680
program, the innovation

6489
03:45:17,680 --> 03:45:19,415
neighborhood. I think we all

6490
03:45:19,415 --> 03:45:20,983
understand surface parking lots

6491
03:45:20,983 --> 03:45:23,118
aren't the highest and best use

6492
03:45:23,118 --> 03:45:24,920
of land, but I think we could

6493
03:45:24,920 --> 03:45:26,388
use some more time to fine tune

6494
03:45:26,388 --> 03:45:29,224
and really make it worthy of

6495
03:45:29,224 --> 03:45:29,525
our community. Thank you.

6496
03:45:29,525 --> 03:45:31,525
Thank

6497
03:45:32,461 --> 03:45:33,497
you. Go ahead. You're

6498
03:45:33,497 --> 03:45:34,597
recognized.

6499
03:45:34,597 --> 03:45:34,996
Vice mayor.

6500
03:45:34,996 --> 03:45:35,598
And

6501
03:45:35,598 --> 03:45:36,564
council members.

6502
03:45:36,564 --> 03:45:36,899
My name is

6503
03:45:36,899 --> 03:45:37,833
ginger hauser.

6504
03:45:37,833 --> 03:45:39,602
I live at 2510.

6505
03:45:39,602 --> 03:45:40,335
Natchez trace. And I'm.

6506
03:45:40,335 --> 03:45:40,603
Here to

6507
03:45:40,603 --> 03:45:41,604
ask.

6508
03:45:41,604 --> 03:45:41,737
That you adopt.

6509
03:45:41,737 --> 03:45:43,737
Both

6510
03:45:43,905 --> 03:45:46,305
COUNCILMAN Cash and allen's

6511
03:45:46,809 --> 03:45:48,544
amendments tonight, but also

6512
03:45:48,544 --> 03:45:51,179
require a reduction in this

6513
03:45:51,179 --> 03:45:53,315
project scale and height as you

6514
03:45:53,315 --> 03:45:54,783
move forward. As a former

6515
03:45:54,783 --> 03:45:56,185
district 18 council member, I

6516
03:45:56,185 --> 03:45:58,185
helped negotiate belmont's

6517
03:45:58,654 --> 03:45:59,854
growth plan and also

6518
03:45:59,854 --> 03:46:01,590
simultaneously did an overlay

6519
03:46:01,590 --> 03:46:03,324
on the surrounding neighborhood.

6520
03:46:03,324 --> 03:46:04,593
The reason we did it is we

6521
03:46:04,593 --> 03:46:06,593
wanted the university

6522
03:46:06,595 --> 03:46:07,630
to grow and innovate and

6523
03:46:07,630 --> 03:46:09,932
preserve and protect the

6524
03:46:09,932 --> 03:46:11,667
community around it. Today, I

6525
03:46:11,667 --> 03:46:13,102
serve on the neighborhood board

6526
03:46:13,102 --> 03:46:14,236
and have been part of the

6527
03:46:14,236 --> 03:46:15,538
negotiating team, helping

6528
03:46:15,538 --> 03:46:17,774
council member cash with this

6529
03:46:17,774 --> 03:46:19,141
issue. As you heard, most of

6530
03:46:19,141 --> 03:46:21,411
the land in this

6531
03:46:21,411 --> 03:46:23,546
acquired through eminent domain

6532
03:46:23,546 --> 03:46:25,347
during urban renewal, and

6533
03:46:25,347 --> 03:46:27,820
promises were made to this

6534
03:46:27,820 --> 03:46:29,618
council that it would only be

6535
03:46:29,618 --> 03:46:32,154
used for academic and hospital

6536
03:46:32,154 --> 03:46:33,756
uses before eminent domain.

6537
03:46:33,756 --> 03:46:36,756
These were neighbors and they

6538
03:46:37,259 --> 03:46:38,894
were displaced to build parking

6539
03:46:38,894 --> 03:46:39,228
lots.

6540
03:46:39,228 --> 03:46:40,629
Today.

6541
03:46:40,629 --> 03:46:41,697
This proposal

6542
03:46:41,697 --> 03:46:43,532
allows this former neighborhood

6543
03:46:43,532 --> 03:46:45,668
to be developed by private

6544
03:46:45,668 --> 03:46:47,903
developers, not vanderbilt, who

6545
03:46:47,903 --> 03:46:50,303
will lease vanderbilt's land

6546
03:46:52,141 --> 03:46:52,441
and build up to six point

6547
03:46:52,441 --> 03:46:54,441
1,000,000ft

6548
03:46:55,377 --> 03:46:57,777
s. That is almost

6549
03:47:00,490 --> 03:47:03,649
six green hills right next to

6550
03:47:03,719 --> 03:47:05,870
neighborhoods. And a project

6551
03:47:05,870 --> 03:47:07,487
that they've estimated will

6552
03:47:09,826 --> 03:47:12,226
take 30 years of construction.

6553
03:47:12,695 --> 03:47:15,531
The proposed heights are up to

6554
03:47:15,531 --> 03:47:17,700
475ft, 35 stories. That's the

6555
03:47:17,700 --> 03:47:19,835
equivalent of the bridgestone

6556
03:47:19,835 --> 03:47:21,835
building downtown and

6557
03:47:22,370 --> 03:47:24,437
towers right next to

6558
03:47:24,607 --> 03:47:26,607
neighborhoods. This would

6559
03:47:26,675 --> 03:47:28,811
create a second downtown. It

6560
03:47:28,811 --> 03:47:30,811
would dwarf vanderbilt's

6561
03:47:31,347 --> 03:47:34,250
academic campus, and it will

6562
03:47:34,250 --> 03:47:36,418
change the iconic area of love

6563
03:47:36,418 --> 03:47:38,187
circle. Please reduce the

6564
03:47:38,187 --> 03:47:39,455
heights as you go to third

6565
03:47:39,455 --> 03:47:40,656
reading and adopt the

6566
03:47:40,656 --> 03:47:43,560
amendments tonight. Thank you.

6567
03:47:43,626 --> 03:47:44,393
Thank you. Go ahead sir. You're

6568
03:47:44,393 --> 03:47:45,528
recognized.

6569
03:47:45,528 --> 03:47:47,528
Good evening. My

6570
03:47:47,630 --> 03:47:48,664
name is preston quirk. I'm an

6571
03:47:48,664 --> 03:47:50,399
architect practicing in

6572
03:47:50,399 --> 03:47:52,301
nashville for the last 40 years.

6573
03:47:52,301 --> 03:47:53,403
My wife and I live in a fine

6574
03:47:53,403 --> 03:47:55,337
home on blair boulevard we

6575
03:47:55,337 --> 03:47:56,572
bought 39 years ago. I want to

6576
03:47:56,572 --> 03:47:58,707
express my thoughts in a quick

6577
03:47:58,707 --> 03:48:00,209
little story tonight. King

6578
03:48:00,209 --> 03:48:01,310
vanderbilt has an extensive

6579
03:48:01,310 --> 03:48:03,512
kingdom with many fine

6580
03:48:03,512 --> 03:48:04,847
buildings and expansive grounds.

6581
03:48:04,847 --> 03:48:06,480
After a very successful

6582
03:48:06,480 --> 03:48:07,183
football season, he summoned

6583
03:48:07,183 --> 03:48:08,450
the royal accountant and asked

6584
03:48:08,450 --> 03:48:09,552
him to acquire more

6585
03:48:09,552 --> 03:48:11,754
beyond the boundary of his

6586
03:48:11,754 --> 03:48:13,556
current kingdom. They met his

6587
03:48:13,556 --> 03:48:15,658
demands and acquired many acres

6588
03:48:15,658 --> 03:48:17,930
from the surrounding peasants.

6589
03:48:17,930 --> 03:48:18,294
With his vast fortunes, he

6590
03:48:18,294 --> 03:48:19,295
directed the royal planners to

6591
03:48:19,295 --> 03:48:20,796
meet with the honorable

6592
03:48:20,796 --> 03:48:22,498
nashville planners like MR.

6593
03:48:22,498 --> 03:48:23,933
Lehman about building a large

6594
03:48:23,933 --> 03:48:25,868
amount of profitable, rentable,

6595
03:48:25,868 --> 03:48:27,403
tall real estate. Well, the

6596
03:48:27,403 --> 03:48:29,380
king's request far exceed the

6597
03:48:29,380 --> 03:48:30,172
height standards for typical

6598
03:48:30,172 --> 03:48:31,974
properties adjacent to the

6599
03:48:31,974 --> 03:48:33,443
humble homes outside the castle.

6600
03:48:33,443 --> 03:48:35,412
The king has proceeded to push

6601
03:48:35,412 --> 03:48:37,279
for approval of expanding his

6602
03:48:37,279 --> 03:48:38,714
empire. The peasants have met

6603
03:48:38,714 --> 03:48:39,782
with the royal planners and

6604
03:48:39,782 --> 03:48:40,916
requested less height be

6605
03:48:40,916 --> 03:48:42,251
allowed for these new

6606
03:48:42,251 --> 03:48:43,719
properties. Their requests are

6607
03:48:43,719 --> 03:48:44,787
backed up by past experiences

6608
03:48:44,787 --> 03:48:46,622
with the national planners

6609
03:48:46,622 --> 03:48:48,424
about transitional zoning

6610
03:48:48,424 --> 03:48:49,859
practices, whereby properties

6611
03:48:49,859 --> 03:48:51,827
adjacent to homes are smaller

6612
03:48:51,827 --> 03:48:53,662
in scale and taller buildings

6613
03:48:53,662 --> 03:48:56,432
are not placed directly across

6614
03:48:56,432 --> 03:48:57,833
the lane from humble homes. In

6615
03:48:57,833 --> 03:48:58,934
essence, the neighbors outside

6616
03:48:58,934 --> 03:49:00,236
vanderbilt are adamant about

6617
03:49:00,236 --> 03:49:01,771
the scale of the new

6618
03:49:01,771 --> 03:49:03,239
development being smaller,

6619
03:49:03,239 --> 03:49:04,773
lower and more in keeping with

6620
03:49:04,773 --> 03:49:06,242
the neighborhood scale and

6621
03:49:06,242 --> 03:49:06,842
would like to continue

6622
03:49:06,842 --> 03:49:08,100
discussions with vanderbilt

6623
03:49:08,100 --> 03:49:09,712
until some agreement can be

6624
03:49:09,712 --> 03:49:11,814
reached on what is appropriate.

6625
03:49:11,814 --> 03:49:12,848
What is now nice student

6626
03:49:12,848 --> 03:49:13,949
recreational fields that help

6627
03:49:13,949 --> 03:49:15,451
the transition from the

6628
03:49:15,451 --> 03:49:16,886
university to neighborhoods.

6629
03:49:16,886 --> 03:49:18,354
It's proposed to be replaced by

6630
03:49:18,354 --> 03:49:20,489
tall buildings and a minimal

6631
03:49:20,489 --> 03:49:21,957
winding green path. It feels to

6632
03:49:21,957 --> 03:49:23,726
me like the king is trampling

6633
03:49:23,726 --> 03:49:24,828
the little people. Let's bring

6634
03:49:24,828 --> 03:49:25,795
down the scale of this

6635
03:49:25,795 --> 03:49:26,930
development next to our

6636
03:49:26,930 --> 03:49:27,264
neighborhood. Thank you.

6637
03:49:27,264 --> 03:49:29,264
Thank

6638
03:49:30,900 --> 03:49:32,200
you. Go ahead. Sir. You're

6639
03:49:32,200 --> 03:49:33,102
recognized.

6640
03:49:33,102 --> 03:49:35,502
Thank you. My name

6641
03:49:36,338 --> 03:49:39,740
is phil ryan. I live at 2521.

6642
03:49:39,740 --> 03:49:39,308
Fairfax avenue. I want to thank

6643
03:49:39,308 --> 03:49:40,176
you all.

6644
03:49:40,176 --> 03:49:41,177
For your.

6645
03:49:41,177 --> 03:49:43,177
Service and

6646
03:49:43,512 --> 03:49:44,647
your patience. You do this

6647
03:49:44,647 --> 03:49:47,416
frequently. You need a lot of

6648
03:49:47,416 --> 03:49:49,816
patience, right? I've had

6649
03:49:49,985 --> 03:49:51,420
careers in local government,

6650
03:49:51,420 --> 03:49:53,820
banking and commercial real

6651
03:49:53,956 --> 03:49:55,758
estate. I'm a co-chair of the

6652
03:49:55,758 --> 03:49:58,158
hillsborough west end neighbor

6653
03:49:58,595 --> 03:49:59,995
board this year. 50 years as a

6654
03:49:59,995 --> 03:50:02,395
resident this year of

6655
03:50:03,333 --> 03:50:04,767
hillsborough village.

6656
03:50:04,767 --> 03:50:06,802
COUNCILMAN Cash, the neighbors

6657
03:50:06,802 --> 03:50:09,371
in view, have been negotiating

6658
03:50:09,371 --> 03:50:11,640
for some months to create a

6659
03:50:11,640 --> 03:50:12,742
more perfect innovation

6660
03:50:12,742 --> 03:50:14,510
neighborhood. And we've made

6661
03:50:14,510 --> 03:50:16,910
some progress. Thank you,

6662
03:50:18,470 --> 03:50:20,216
COUNCILMAN Cash. But a further

6663
03:50:20,216 --> 03:50:22,510
reduction in scale and height

6664
03:50:22,510 --> 03:50:23,854
will make a much better

6665
03:50:23,854 --> 03:50:25,588
neighborhood to bungalows.

6666
03:50:25,588 --> 03:50:28,123
That's what we're talking about.

6667
03:50:28,123 --> 03:50:31,123
As as ginger mentioned, the

6668
03:50:31,327 --> 03:50:31,727
height and, 6,000,000ft

6669
03:50:31,727 --> 03:50:33,727
s right

6670
03:50:33,929 --> 03:50:35,297
next to a bungalow neighborhood.

6671
03:50:35,297 --> 03:50:37,733
And we didn't really learn

6672
03:50:37,733 --> 03:50:38,330
about the 6,000,000ft

6673
03:50:38,330 --> 03:50:39,736
s until

6674
03:50:39,736 --> 03:50:41,471
the spring of this year. There

6675
03:50:41,471 --> 03:50:44,341
was always talk, you know,

6676
03:50:44,341 --> 03:50:45,909
about the open space, the green

6677
03:50:45,909 --> 03:50:47,944
space, the connection sidewalks

6678
03:50:47,944 --> 03:50:51,548
and stuff. But it took a while

6679
03:50:51,548 --> 03:50:53,316
to get that out of the process

6680
03:50:53,316 --> 03:50:55,180
that this was going to be 6

6681
03:50:55,180 --> 03:50:55,218
million. Six point 1,000,000ft

6682
03:50:55,218 --> 03:50:57,218
s

6683
03:50:58,210 --> 03:50:59,823
of new space and buildings that

6684
03:50:59,823 --> 03:51:03,126
have come down in height in

6685
03:51:03,126 --> 03:51:05,594
recent months, but it's still

6686
03:51:05,594 --> 03:51:07,163
475ft. So we, we think, me and

6687
03:51:07,163 --> 03:51:10,166
many of my friends think a

6688
03:51:10,166 --> 03:51:11,634
further reduction in scale and

6689
03:51:11,634 --> 03:51:13,402
height will make a better

6690
03:51:13,402 --> 03:51:15,171
neighborhood, a better neighbor

6691
03:51:15,171 --> 03:51:17,571
to our neighborhood of

6692
03:51:19,875 --> 03:51:22,440
bungalows. So, we believe

6693
03:51:22,440 --> 03:51:23,447
vanderbilt can get a brilliant

6694
03:51:23,447 --> 03:51:24,980
innovation neighborhood, a

6695
03:51:24,980 --> 03:51:27,500
brilliant neighborhood, and we

6696
03:51:27,500 --> 03:51:28,486
can preserve our historic

6697
03:51:28,486 --> 03:51:31,486
neighborhood if we have more

6698
03:51:31,555 --> 03:51:33,155
time to discuss and negotiate

6699
03:51:33,155 --> 03:51:34,692
height and square footage.

6700
03:51:34,692 --> 03:51:35,724
Thank you.

6701
03:51:35,724 --> 03:51:36,426
thank you.

6702
03:51:36,426 --> 03:51:38,426
Go ahead.

6703
03:51:39,662 --> 03:51:40,496
You're recognized.

6704
03:51:40,496 --> 03:51:42,496
Hi, I'm.

6705
03:51:42,599 --> 03:51:44,333
Gina napoli. I live on hillside

6706
03:51:44,333 --> 03:51:46,136
drive. I can actually see

6707
03:51:46,136 --> 03:51:48,536
vandy's jumbotron from my

6708
03:51:49,806 --> 03:51:51,174
driveway. My husband and I

6709
03:51:51,174 --> 03:51:53,574
moved to the hillsboro

6710
03:51:54,760 --> 03:51:56,476
neighborhood in 2017 because of

6711
03:51:57,314 --> 03:51:59,714
its character, its walkability,

6712
03:52:01,284 --> 03:52:03,420
and in no small part for the

6713
03:52:03,420 --> 03:52:05,222
vibrancy of vanderbilt

6714
03:52:05,222 --> 03:52:06,689
university. When the

6715
03:52:06,689 --> 03:52:08,689
neighborhood started getting

6716
03:52:08,858 --> 03:52:10,426
proposed building heights, I

6717
03:52:10,426 --> 03:52:13,426
made a simple graph comparing

6718
03:52:13,896 --> 03:52:16,310
the heights of those buildings

6719
03:52:16,310 --> 03:52:18,602
to the highest elevation of

6720
03:52:18,602 --> 03:52:20,437
love circle. And for those not

6721
03:52:20,437 --> 03:52:23,500
familiar with love circle, it's

6722
03:52:23,500 --> 03:52:25,342
a public space, a special place,

6723
03:52:25,342 --> 03:52:26,475
a hill with a great view of

6724
03:52:26,475 --> 03:52:29,475
downtown. And it is mentioned

6725
03:52:29,746 --> 03:52:31,514
in many guide books, by the way.

6726
03:52:31,514 --> 03:52:32,949
What I found is that the

6727
03:52:32,949 --> 03:52:34,752
buildings vanderbilt proposed

6728
03:52:34,752 --> 03:52:36,586
for subdistrict a, which is the

6729
03:52:36,586 --> 03:52:38,986
area closest to our

6730
03:52:40,891 --> 03:52:42,626
neighborhood facing it, is 12

6731
03:52:42,626 --> 03:52:45,626
story buildings. And at the

6732
03:52:45,928 --> 03:52:50,128
time I had 144ft. I think they

6733
03:52:50,233 --> 03:52:53,833
allowed more, but I'm not sure.

6734
03:52:53,837 --> 03:52:56,707
That the 12 stories will be

6735
03:52:56,707 --> 03:52:58,842
taller than love. Circle the

6736
03:52:58,842 --> 03:53:00,709
elevations between the two,

6737
03:53:00,709 --> 03:53:02,847
with other proposed buildings

6738
03:53:02,847 --> 03:53:06,820
of 400 plus feet that will be

6739
03:53:06,820 --> 03:53:08,618
over 200ft taller than love

6740
03:53:08,618 --> 03:53:11,555
circle. And basically my point

6741
03:53:11,555 --> 03:53:14,240
here is that the iconic view

6742
03:53:14,240 --> 03:53:15,792
from that hill of downtown

6743
03:53:15,792 --> 03:53:18,361
nashville will be blocked, as

6744
03:53:18,361 --> 03:53:21,231
will their own. I think very

6745
03:53:21,231 --> 03:53:22,632
special tower will be have a

6746
03:53:22,632 --> 03:53:25,632
blocked view. It will be

6747
03:53:27,300 --> 03:53:29,403
dwarfed. Also subdistrict a

6748
03:53:29,473 --> 03:53:30,607
needs to have special care to

6749
03:53:30,607 --> 03:53:32,341
interface with the neighborhood

6750
03:53:32,341 --> 03:53:34,341
because vanderbilt's lowest

6751
03:53:35,579 --> 03:53:37,979
proposed buildings will dwarf

6752
03:53:39,216 --> 03:53:41,351
the homes there. I don't want

6753
03:53:41,351 --> 03:53:43,653
to stop vanderbilt's progress.

6754
03:53:43,653 --> 03:53:46,560
I actually find the idea behind

6755
03:53:46,560 --> 03:53:47,825
the innovation neighborhood

6756
03:53:47,825 --> 03:53:50,760
rather exciting and a good

6757
03:53:50,760 --> 03:53:52,496
thing for nashville. For

6758
03:53:52,496 --> 03:53:53,630
everybody. Oops.

6759
03:53:53,630 --> 03:53:55,630
Thank you.

6760
03:53:56,565 --> 03:53:57,702
Okay.

6761
03:53:57,702 --> 03:53:59,502
It's okay. You did a good

6762
03:53:59,502 --> 03:54:00,710
job. Go ahead. Sir. You're

6763
03:54:00,710 --> 03:54:01,639
recognized.

6764
03:54:01,639 --> 03:54:03,639
Yes. Members of

6765
03:54:03,707 --> 03:54:06,610
council. My name is jim dillon.

6766
03:54:06,610 --> 03:54:09,513
I'm a 44 year resident of

6767
03:54:09,513 --> 03:54:11,615
hillsboro west end. And, I was

6768
03:54:11,615 --> 03:54:14,151
a little surprised today to

6769
03:54:14,151 --> 03:54:16,286
listen to my fellow hillsboro

6770
03:54:16,286 --> 03:54:18,455
west end friends. Because they

6771
03:54:18,455 --> 03:54:20,390
don't did not seem to have been

6772
03:54:20,390 --> 03:54:22,459
informed that nobody was going

6773
03:54:22,459 --> 03:54:24,261
to oppose essentially what they

6774
03:54:24,261 --> 03:54:26,496
said, but they're just going to

6775
03:54:26,496 --> 03:54:28,298
ask for more time and more time

6776
03:54:28,298 --> 03:54:31,102
to negotiate and more time to

6777
03:54:31,102 --> 03:54:32,536
think about this. We received

6778
03:54:32,536 --> 03:54:33,970
on friday. Well, I didn't

6779
03:54:33,970 --> 03:54:36,439
receive this till this morning.

6780
03:54:36,439 --> 03:54:38,275
22 major amendments to this

6781
03:54:38,275 --> 03:54:40,110
project. It wasn't filed till

6782
03:54:40,110 --> 03:54:41,945
friday. So essentially

6783
03:54:41,945 --> 03:54:44,748
business day later, this is

6784
03:54:44,748 --> 03:54:46,183
before the council. So I just

6785
03:54:46,183 --> 03:54:48,352
suggest that there's no crisis

6786
03:54:48,352 --> 03:54:50,187
here. There's no exigency here.

6787
03:54:50,187 --> 03:54:51,289
The hillsboro west end

6788
03:54:51,289 --> 03:54:53,289
neighborhood, through its

6789
03:54:53,424 --> 03:54:55,560
official people are asking for

6790
03:54:55,560 --> 03:54:57,327
more time to think about this

6791
03:54:57,327 --> 03:54:59,429
and more time to discuss this.

6792
03:54:59,429 --> 03:55:01,598
This is the first request for

6793
03:55:01,598 --> 03:55:03,660
deferral being asked by the

6794
03:55:03,660 --> 03:55:04,836
hillsboro west end neighborhood,

6795
03:55:04,836 --> 03:55:07,710
and we suggest it should be

6796
03:55:07,710 --> 03:55:08,538
given careful consideration.

6797
03:55:08,538 --> 03:55:10,607
Vanderbilt is asking for

6798
03:55:10,607 --> 03:55:12,409
numerous variances. It has a

6799
03:55:12,409 --> 03:55:14,578
heavy burden to sustain it.

6800
03:55:14,578 --> 03:55:16,146
It's had ample time and

6801
03:55:16,146 --> 03:55:17,849
enormous resources to come

6802
03:55:17,849 --> 03:55:21,118
forth with its, you know, with

6803
03:55:21,118 --> 03:55:22,919
its, proposal. And hillsboro

6804
03:55:22,919 --> 03:55:24,120
west end neighborhood is just

6805
03:55:24,120 --> 03:55:26,122
asking for a little time, a

6806
03:55:26,122 --> 03:55:28,325
little accommodation, as you

6807
03:55:28,325 --> 03:55:30,193
would expect. This has been a

6808
03:55:30,193 --> 03:55:32,280
for I know you all are going to

6809
03:55:32,280 --> 03:55:33,730
probably be here all night, but

6810
03:55:33,730 --> 03:55:35,665
on a crowded docket as crowded

6811
03:55:35,665 --> 03:55:37,000
as this one is, and knowing

6812
03:55:37,000 --> 03:55:39,836
that this project is going to

6813
03:55:39,836 --> 03:55:42,740
be 30 years in the making and

6814
03:55:42,740 --> 03:55:43,400
it's huge six point

6815
03:55:43,400 --> 03:55:44,274
1,000,000ft

6816
03:55:44,274 --> 03:55:46,674
s with what seems

6817
03:55:47,770 --> 03:55:48,912
like 100 100 stories of new

6818
03:55:48,912 --> 03:55:51,312
office buildings. This should

6819
03:55:51,381 --> 03:55:53,850
not be rushed forward as it

6820
03:55:53,850 --> 03:55:55,453
appears to being rushed forward.

6821
03:55:55,453 --> 03:55:57,540
So, you know, we've heard today

6822
03:55:57,540 --> 03:55:58,188
on other projects. This

6823
03:55:58,188 --> 03:56:00,588
shouldn't be shoved down

6824
03:56:03,260 --> 03:56:05,630
people's throats. And, we just

6825
03:56:05,630 --> 03:56:06,830
need more time. The hillsboro

6826
03:56:06,830 --> 03:56:09,230
west end neighborhood is

6827
03:56:09,699 --> 03:56:11,434
entitled to the courtesy of, of

6828
03:56:11,434 --> 03:56:11,869
of a deferral on this.

6829
03:56:11,869 --> 03:56:13,869
Thank

6830
03:56:15,839 --> 03:56:18,341
you. Go ahead, sir. You're

6831
03:56:18,341 --> 03:56:19,477
recognized.

6832
03:56:19,477 --> 03:56:19,811
Thank you.

6833
03:56:19,811 --> 03:56:21,811
I'm

6834
03:56:22,346 --> 03:56:23,447
philip lozano. I live at 3205

6835
03:56:23,447 --> 03:56:25,447
marlborough avenue, nashville,

6836
03:56:25,949 --> 03:56:27,717
tennessee, 37212. It's

6837
03:56:27,717 --> 03:56:31,317
immediately outside of the s p

6838
03:56:31,855 --> 03:56:33,224
area. A couple of things. I've

6839
03:56:33,224 --> 03:56:34,392
been to some of the community

6840
03:56:34,392 --> 03:56:36,260
meetings, and I know one of the

6841
03:56:36,260 --> 03:56:37,461
things that's been put up by

6842
03:56:37,461 --> 03:56:39,196
vanderbilt is they keep talking

6843
03:56:39,196 --> 03:56:40,330
about what they can do by.

6844
03:56:40,330 --> 03:56:42,650
Right. Those those words by.

6845
03:56:42,650 --> 03:56:43,467
Right. And we've heard several

6846
03:56:43,467 --> 03:56:44,968
supporters come up here and

6847
03:56:44,968 --> 03:56:46,370
talk about, well, vanderbilt

6848
03:56:46,370 --> 03:56:47,738
can do this by. Right. They're

6849
03:56:47,738 --> 03:56:48,605
going to do it anyways because

6850
03:56:48,605 --> 03:56:50,605
they're vanderbilt. Well,

6851
03:56:51,442 --> 03:56:53,910
that's not true. Okay. Zoning,

6852
03:56:53,910 --> 03:56:56,180
whether it's existing or future

6853
03:56:56,180 --> 03:56:57,882
zoning, is not a right of

6854
03:56:57,882 --> 03:56:58,983
anyone. No one has a right to a

6855
03:56:58,983 --> 03:57:01,585
specific zoning that they want,

6856
03:57:01,585 --> 03:57:04,540
whether it's current or future.

6857
03:57:04,540 --> 03:57:06,189
So there is a zoning there now,

6858
03:57:06,189 --> 03:57:07,258
but they can get zoned down to

6859
03:57:07,258 --> 03:57:08,425
there's an administrative

6860
03:57:08,425 --> 03:57:10,561
process that right. It happens

6861
03:57:10,561 --> 03:57:13,498
here, but that can happen too.

6862
03:57:13,498 --> 03:57:15,600
So I just think that the

6863
03:57:15,600 --> 03:57:16,801
representation by vanderbilt

6864
03:57:16,801 --> 03:57:18,668
telling people that, well, this

6865
03:57:18,668 --> 03:57:19,904
is going to happen and you know,

6866
03:57:19,904 --> 03:57:22,806
we're going to build it in this

6867
03:57:22,806 --> 03:57:24,208
existing zoning. If they did

6868
03:57:24,208 --> 03:57:25,610
that, there's, you know,

6869
03:57:25,610 --> 03:57:28,578
there's blowback to that too.

6870
03:57:28,578 --> 03:57:30,140
So, I think they should be more

6871
03:57:30,140 --> 03:57:32,449
honest about that. The other

6872
03:57:32,449 --> 03:57:34,849
thing is, this community

6873
03:57:38,220 --> 03:57:39,190
character plan for, green hills.

6874
03:57:39,190 --> 03:57:40,992
I'm trying to figure out what

6875
03:57:40,992 --> 03:57:42,160
the relevance of this thing is.

6876
03:57:42,160 --> 03:57:43,994
I know it's supposed to be for

6877
03:57:43,994 --> 03:57:45,280
planning and like the, the

6878
03:57:45,280 --> 03:57:46,264
community and everything, but

6879
03:57:46,264 --> 03:57:47,165
it says in there, the community

6880
03:57:47,165 --> 03:57:48,299
character poicies are the

6881
03:57:48,299 --> 03:57:49,801
standard by which development

6882
03:57:49,801 --> 03:57:51,602
and decisions are

6883
03:57:51,602 --> 03:57:53,437
reviewed, and future zoning

6884
03:57:53,437 --> 03:57:55,273
change requests are measured.

6885
03:57:55,273 --> 03:57:56,640
It says that right in there, if

6886
03:57:56,640 --> 03:57:59,177
you look at the community

6887
03:57:59,177 --> 03:58:00,343
character plan that is

6888
03:58:00,343 --> 03:58:03,343
phenomenally out of whack with

6889
03:58:03,915 --> 03:58:05,349
this development. Okay. So, a

6890
03:58:05,349 --> 03:58:06,883
lot of people have said that

6891
03:58:06,883 --> 03:58:08,853
they're like against the s p

6892
03:58:08,853 --> 03:58:09,987
and the v, I'm p, I haven't

6893
03:58:09,987 --> 03:58:11,322
heard anyone say that they're

6894
03:58:11,322 --> 03:58:13,156
against the v. I'm p outright

6895
03:58:13,156 --> 03:58:14,158
total. Okay. That is there's

6896
03:58:14,158 --> 03:58:17,158
the difference between the v

6897
03:58:17,161 --> 03:58:18,929
I'm p and this zoning proposal.

6898
03:58:18,929 --> 03:58:20,960
Okay. The density needs to go

6899
03:58:20,960 --> 03:58:20,865
towards west end, not outside

6900
03:58:20,865 --> 03:58:21,799
our front doors.

6901
03:58:21,799 --> 03:58:23,799
thank you.

6902
03:58:24,335 --> 03:58:25,470
Thank you.

6903
03:58:25,470 --> 03:58:27,270
Go ahead. You're

6904
03:58:27,270 --> 03:58:28,706
recognized.

6905
03:58:28,706 --> 03:58:29,775
Hi, I'm dan

6906
03:58:29,775 --> 03:58:32,175
sharfstein. I'm a hillsborough%

6907
03:58:32,610 --> 03:58:34,445
west end neighbor. I support a

6908
03:58:34,445 --> 03:58:36,547
sensible compromise that allows

6909
03:58:36,547 --> 03:58:38,381
vanderbilt to build a dense

6910
03:58:38,381 --> 03:58:39,883
development without its height

6911
03:58:39,883 --> 03:58:41,883
overwhelming our neighborhood

6912
03:58:42,285 --> 03:58:45,189
and the campus. Two quick

6913
03:58:45,189 --> 03:58:46,724
points. First, vanderbilt is

6914
03:58:46,724 --> 03:58:48,658
setting the yardsticks in the

6915
03:58:48,658 --> 03:58:50,394
wrong place when it describes

6916
03:58:50,394 --> 03:58:51,696
its proposal as a great

6917
03:58:51,696 --> 03:58:53,970
compromise, because by right,

6918
03:58:53,970 --> 03:58:54,598
it could build on its land a

6919
03:58:54,598 --> 03:58:57,101
giant cluster of the tallest

6920
03:58:57,101 --> 03:58:59,270
buildings in tennessee. The

6921
03:58:59,270 --> 03:59:01,405
university could, but never

6922
03:59:01,405 --> 03:59:03,241
would erect all those buildings

6923
03:59:03,241 --> 03:59:05,900
because it would make the vault

6924
03:59:05,900 --> 03:59:06,844
an ugly, dysfunctional

6925
03:59:06,844 --> 03:59:08,645
neighborhood. A little slice of

6926
03:59:08,645 --> 03:59:10,816
houston or phoenix, right next

6927
03:59:10,816 --> 03:59:12,549
to campus. The university would

6928
03:59:12,549 --> 03:59:13,885
incur great expense, but

6929
03:59:13,885 --> 03:59:15,785
wouldn't be able to fill the

6930
03:59:15,785 --> 03:59:17,588
space and get top rents.

6931
03:59:17,588 --> 03:59:19,123
Instead of six green hills

6932
03:59:19,123 --> 03:59:20,525
malls, it would risk winding up

6933
03:59:20,525 --> 03:59:23,610
with the equivalent of six

6934
03:59:23,610 --> 03:59:24,128
failed rivergate malls. So we

6935
03:59:24,128 --> 03:59:26,290
should think of vanderbilt's

6936
03:59:26,290 --> 03:59:28,650
current proposal as a viable

6937
03:59:28,650 --> 03:59:29,867
plan for itself, and really

6938
03:59:29,867 --> 03:59:31,936
more of a starting point for a

6939
03:59:31,936 --> 03:59:33,771
conversation than the end point.

6940
03:59:33,771 --> 03:59:36,373
Second, it would be a

6941
03:59:36,373 --> 03:59:38,242
tragically wasted opportunity

6942
03:59:38,242 --> 03:59:40,645
if the residential component of

6943
03:59:40,645 --> 03:59:42,479
the volt winds up being a

6944
03:59:42,479 --> 03:59:44,248
neighborhood of apartments that

6945
03:59:44,248 --> 03:59:46,350
vanderbilt alums buy for game

6946
03:59:46,350 --> 03:59:48,119
days and are vacant, or for

6947
03:59:48,119 --> 03:59:50,821
short term rentals the rest of

6948
03:59:50,821 --> 03:59:52,190
the year, vanderbilt has this

6949
03:59:52,190 --> 03:59:54,590
opportunity to redevelop the

6950
03:59:54,691 --> 03:59:56,493
volt because decades ago, the

6951
03:59:56,493 --> 03:59:58,596
city exercised on its behalf

6952
03:59:58,596 --> 04:00:01,565
the eminent domain power, which

6953
04:00:01,565 --> 04:00:04,468
exists to take land for public

6954
04:00:04,468 --> 04:00:06,868
use. This neighborhood should

6955
04:00:07,300 --> 04:00:09,390
contribute to making the city a

6956
04:00:09,390 --> 04:00:11,242
better place to live and work.

6957
04:00:11,242 --> 04:00:13,440
We need to have a conversation

6958
04:00:13,440 --> 04:00:15,214
about how the volt will

6959
04:00:15,214 --> 04:00:18,820
contribute to the human values

6960
04:00:18,820 --> 04:00:20,218
and policy goals that are of

6961
04:00:20,218 --> 04:00:22,453
central importance to you, the

6962
04:00:22,453 --> 04:00:23,820
council, and your constituents.

6963
04:00:23,820 --> 04:00:25,689
Thanks for your time. We're

6964
04:00:25,689 --> 04:00:26,890
counting on you.

6965
04:00:26,890 --> 04:00:28,559
Thank you. Go

6966
04:00:28,559 --> 04:00:28,925
ahead. You're recognized.

6967
04:00:28,925 --> 04:00:29,961
Good

6968
04:00:29,961 --> 04:00:31,270
evening. Thank you for the

6969
04:00:31,270 --> 04:00:32,696
opportunity to address this

6970
04:00:32,696 --> 04:00:35,500
issue. My name is james redwine.

6971
04:00:35,500 --> 04:00:36,800
I live on woodlawn drive near

6972
04:00:36,800 --> 04:00:39,300
the corner of natchez trace.

6973
04:00:39,300 --> 04:00:40,771
I'm a proud 1981 graduate of

6974
04:00:40,771 --> 04:00:42,640
vanderbilt law school. My wife,

6975
04:00:42,640 --> 04:00:44,342
evelyn, is also a graduate of

6976
04:00:44,342 --> 04:00:45,742
1981 of the college of arts and

6977
04:00:45,742 --> 04:00:47,744
sciences at vanderbilt. So we

6978
04:00:47,744 --> 04:00:50,744
are vanderbilt family. Both my

6979
04:00:50,881 --> 04:00:53,117
wife and I are former board

6980
04:00:53,117 --> 04:00:53,818
members. I'm very proud of the

6981
04:00:53,818 --> 04:00:55,453
progress that vanderbilt's made

6982
04:00:55,453 --> 04:00:57,722
in recent years and want its

6983
04:00:57,722 --> 04:01:00,122
investment to continue robustly.

6984
04:01:00,726 --> 04:01:02,126
I, but I, I do not oppose the

6985
04:01:02,126 --> 04:01:04,929
innovation district per se. In

6986
04:01:04,929 --> 04:01:07,430
fact, I support the idea, but I

6987
04:01:07,430 --> 04:01:08,866
oppose 1446 in its current form.

6988
04:01:08,866 --> 04:01:11,340
Even with proposed amendments

6989
04:01:11,340 --> 04:01:12,537
one and two, unless and until

6990
04:01:12,537 --> 04:01:14,572
vanderbilt negotiates in good

6991
04:01:14,572 --> 04:01:15,672
faith on the proposed density

6992
04:01:15,672 --> 04:01:16,841
and on the currently

6993
04:01:16,841 --> 04:01:17,974
enforceable measures to

6994
04:01:17,974 --> 04:01:19,643
mitigate the inevitable impacts

6995
04:01:19,643 --> 04:01:20,411
of this development. The

6996
04:01:20,411 --> 04:01:22,180
meetings that have happened to

6997
04:01:22,180 --> 04:01:24,480
date have been pretty pro forma

6998
04:01:24,480 --> 04:01:25,783
and perfunctory, designed to

6999
04:01:25,783 --> 04:01:27,584
force this project through, and

7000
04:01:27,584 --> 04:01:29,850
MR. Phil ryan addressed some of

7001
04:01:29,850 --> 04:01:31,485
the transparency issues that

7002
04:01:32,256 --> 04:01:34,424
the neighborhood has noticed.

7003
04:01:34,424 --> 04:01:37,424
This is a huge development.

7004
04:01:37,562 --> 04:01:37,727
Five some odd towers, 6.1ft

7005
04:01:37,727 --> 04:01:39,727
s

7006
04:01:39,831 --> 04:01:39,897
and and six point 1,000,000ft

7007
04:01:39,897 --> 04:01:41,332
s

7008
04:01:41,332 --> 04:01:43,401
in total. It's equivalent to

7009
04:01:43,401 --> 04:01:45,436
another downtown. I don't

7010
04:01:45,436 --> 04:01:47,406
recall seeing any real notice

7011
04:01:47,406 --> 04:01:48,706
of this project to the

7012
04:01:48,706 --> 04:01:50,575
neighbors or to the city as a

7013
04:01:50,575 --> 04:01:52,410
whole, nor the extensive

7014
04:01:52,410 --> 04:01:54,810
discussion required for a

7015
04:01:56,120 --> 04:01:58,149
project of this magnitude. The

7016
04:01:58,149 --> 04:02:00,318
principal issues include the

7017
04:02:00,318 --> 04:02:02,753
traffic density. And I can

7018
04:02:02,753 --> 04:02:04,689
hardly imagine what the traffic

7019
04:02:04,689 --> 04:02:06,824
is going to look like once all

7020
04:02:06,824 --> 04:02:08,292
of this additional density goes

7021
04:02:08,292 --> 04:02:10,940
through. I'm also concerned

7022
04:02:10,940 --> 04:02:12,964
about the cumulative impacts of

7023
04:02:12,964 --> 04:02:15,133
this density. Proposed. There

7024
04:02:15,133 --> 04:02:16,634
is a 25 story tower proposed

7025
04:02:16,634 --> 04:02:19,360
for the site of the former

7026
04:02:19,360 --> 04:02:21,606
piggly wiggly and a 15 story

7027
04:02:21,606 --> 04:02:24,107
tower, excuse me, a 25 story

7028
04:02:24,107 --> 04:02:25,576
tower for the former tears, and

7029
04:02:25,576 --> 04:02:28,412
one for the 15 stories for the

7030
04:02:28,412 --> 04:02:30,982
piggly wiggly. This is just too

7031
04:02:30,982 --> 04:02:32,850
important, to rush through. And

7032
04:02:32,850 --> 04:02:34,585
it should be deferred until

7033
04:02:34,585 --> 04:02:35,453
such time as these matters can

7034
04:02:35,453 --> 04:02:36,687
be fully considered.

7035
04:02:36,687 --> 04:02:37,856
Thank you.

7036
04:02:37,856 --> 04:02:39,590
Go ahead. Ma'am. You're

7037
04:02:39,590 --> 04:02:40,558
recognized.

7038
04:02:40,558 --> 04:02:42,558
Good evening. My

7039
04:02:43,461 --> 04:02:46,864
name is cindy. David and I live

7040
04:02:46,864 --> 04:02:48,966
at 4004 nebraska avenue. This

7041
04:02:48,966 --> 04:02:51,869
is my first time attending this%

7042
04:02:51,869 --> 04:02:52,904
kind of meeting, and I am

7043
04:02:52,904 --> 04:02:54,372
grateful to have the

7044
04:02:54,372 --> 04:02:55,940
opportunity to speak. I have

7045
04:02:55,940 --> 04:02:58,309
lived in the sylvan park area

7046
04:02:58,309 --> 04:03:01,179
for the last 23 years, and I

7047
04:03:01,179 --> 04:03:03,381
have seen tremendous changes. I

7048
04:03:03,381 --> 04:03:06,884
also am a home owner in that

7049
04:03:06,884 --> 04:03:09,887
area. To the neighborhood and I

7050
04:03:09,887 --> 04:03:11,589
love where I live. Some have

7051
04:03:11,589 --> 04:03:14,158
been positive changes and some

7052
04:03:14,158 --> 04:03:15,760
have not. The street I live on

7053
04:03:15,760 --> 04:03:17,795
has far exceeded the capacity

7054
04:03:17,795 --> 04:03:19,300
and height limits. With all the

7055
04:03:19,300 --> 04:03:20,298
tall and skinnies that have

7056
04:03:20,298 --> 04:03:22,660
been built up, along with the

7057
04:03:22,660 --> 04:03:24,466
monster houses and second

7058
04:03:24,969 --> 04:03:27,772
houses that sit on incredibly

7059
04:03:27,772 --> 04:03:30,374
tiny lots, this is going to

7060
04:03:30,374 --> 04:03:33,611
create way more traffic in an

7061
04:03:33,611 --> 04:03:35,713
already dense traffic area.

7062
04:03:35,713 --> 04:03:38,113
Massive construction. Excuse me.

7063
04:03:39,383 --> 04:03:41,783
Construction projects. With no

7064
04:03:42,920 --> 04:03:45,323
end in sight. Don't get me

7065
04:03:45,323 --> 04:03:47,325
wrong, I am all for innovation

7066
04:03:47,325 --> 04:03:49,460
and technology. I'm also a

7067
04:03:49,460 --> 04:03:51,963
business owner and I have been

7068
04:03:51,963 --> 04:03:54,980
in the community with my

7069
04:03:54,980 --> 04:03:56,498
businesses for the last 24

7070
04:03:56,601 --> 04:03:58,836
years, but not at the loss of

7071
04:03:58,836 --> 04:04:00,905
my precious neighborhood and

7072
04:04:00,905 --> 04:04:03,475
the esthetics. What was already

7073
04:04:03,475 --> 04:04:05,875
stated before around things

7074
04:04:05,910 --> 04:04:08,446
like love circle and the beauty

7075
04:04:08,446 --> 04:04:10,846
of nashville, able to

7076
04:04:11,415 --> 04:04:13,551
actually see the beauty of

7077
04:04:13,551 --> 04:04:16,354
downtown from a vantage point

7078
04:04:16,354 --> 04:04:18,956
of, of love, something like

7079
04:04:18,956 --> 04:04:21,125
love circle. I also agree with

7080
04:04:21,125 --> 04:04:22,860
what ginger said in the

7081
04:04:22,860 --> 04:04:25,960
reduction about height and

7082
04:04:25,960 --> 04:04:28,299
scale of the buildings, and I

7083
04:04:28,299 --> 04:04:30,802
would ask for more time to

7084
04:04:30,802 --> 04:04:32,904
consider and thank you for

7085
04:04:32,904 --> 04:04:34,739
listening. And also, if I could

7086
04:04:34,739 --> 04:04:38,939
get an extra tomato, I would be

7087
04:04:41,279 --> 04:04:41,612
grateful for that as well.

7088
04:04:41,612 --> 04:04:43,612
We

7089
04:04:44,882 --> 04:04:48,860
MAY have started a bad trend

7090
04:04:48,860 --> 04:04:49,720
here. Okay. Come on forward,

7091
04:04:49,720 --> 04:04:51,956
sir. If you'd step to the side

7092
04:04:51,956 --> 04:04:55,270
for your tomato kindly and open

7093
04:04:55,270 --> 04:04:55,993
the podium. Thank you. Good

7094
04:04:55,993 --> 04:04:56,460
evening. Go ahead. Sir.

7095
04:04:56,460 --> 04:04:58,460
My name.

7096
04:04:58,863 --> 04:05:01,399
Is dan eager. I've lived at

7097
04:05:01,399 --> 04:05:02,533
2715 westwood ave, westwood

7098
04:05:02,533 --> 04:05:04,335
avenue in hillsborough, west

7099
04:05:04,335 --> 04:05:06,437
end neighborhood for over 40

7100
04:05:06,437 --> 04:05:08,507
years. For much of my career, i

7101
04:05:08,507 --> 04:05:10,741
managed an often controversial

7102
04:05:10,741 --> 04:05:12,210
state regulatory program that

7103
04:05:12,210 --> 04:05:13,711
affected individual landowners,

7104
04:05:13,711 --> 04:05:15,179
highway construction and

7105
04:05:15,179 --> 04:05:17,179
private development projects

7106
04:05:17,248 --> 04:05:19,830
that would alter tennessee's

7107
04:05:19,830 --> 04:05:21,483
waters. Through the experience

7108
04:05:21,586 --> 04:05:23,354
of leading the promulgation of

7109
04:05:23,354 --> 04:05:24,922
regulations governing the

7110
04:05:24,922 --> 04:05:26,624
program and signing off on

7111
04:05:26,624 --> 04:05:27,892
hundreds of individual permit

7112
04:05:27,892 --> 04:05:29,427
decisions. I've developed a

7113
04:05:29,427 --> 04:05:31,827
deep appreciation for the

7114
04:05:32,230 --> 04:05:34,630
sometimes messy and frustrating

7115
04:05:34,799 --> 04:05:36,799
public participation process.

7116
04:05:37,101 --> 04:05:39,203
In the end, that process

7117
04:05:39,203 --> 04:05:40,838
typically results in a better

7118
04:05:40,838 --> 04:05:42,974
product, one that better serves

7119
04:05:42,974 --> 04:05:45,343
the public interest. I request

7120
04:05:45,343 --> 04:05:47,545
that council vote to defer this

7121
04:05:47,545 --> 04:05:49,945
measure, to allow additional

7122
04:05:50,114 --> 04:05:51,480
discussions and improve the

7123
04:05:51,480 --> 04:05:51,249
project even further.

7124
04:05:51,249 --> 04:05:53,249
Thank you,

7125
04:05:53,618 --> 04:05:55,820
thank you. Go ahead. Come on.

7126
04:05:55,820 --> 04:05:57,655
Forward.

7127
04:05:57,655 --> 04:05:59,655
Good evening. Brian

7128
04:06:00,570 --> 04:06:01,559
delahanty, 2724 ashland avenue.

7129
04:06:01,559 --> 04:06:04,280
I'm a vanderbilt alumnus. My

7130
04:06:04,280 --> 04:06:06,230
wife is a professor there. We

7131
04:06:06,230 --> 04:06:08,699
raised kids here. We live near,

7132
04:06:08,699 --> 04:06:11,269
dragon park. We are both

7133
04:06:11,269 --> 04:06:12,470
scientists. We run a biotech.

7134
04:06:12,470 --> 04:06:14,505
We want an innovation district

7135
04:06:14,505 --> 04:06:16,675
for sure. We want labs,

7136
04:06:16,675 --> 04:06:17,542
startups, jobs. But we are

7137
04:06:17,542 --> 04:06:18,910
concerned about something

7138
04:06:18,910 --> 04:06:21,279
narrower, which is height and

7139
04:06:21,279 --> 04:06:23,181
what's in writing. So as drawn,

7140
04:06:23,181 --> 04:06:25,349
this allows up to a 35 story

7141
04:06:25,349 --> 04:06:27,190
building in the area that would

7142
04:06:27,190 --> 04:06:29,387
be equivalent to those parking

7143
04:06:29,387 --> 04:06:30,855
lots. Imagine this. A wall that

7144
04:06:30,855 --> 04:06:32,456
would block, an obelisk that

7145
04:06:32,456 --> 04:06:34,358
could block the sun for

7146
04:06:34,358 --> 04:06:34,992
neighbors in the neighborhood.

7147
04:06:34,992 --> 04:06:36,727
Whatever gets built there will

7148
04:06:36,727 --> 04:06:37,962
be permanent, so the numbers

7149
04:06:37,962 --> 04:06:39,464
have to be right. The first

7150
04:06:39,464 --> 04:06:40,998
time you've heard the story

7151
04:06:40,998 --> 04:06:42,366
tonight of how vanderbilt took

7152
04:06:42,366 --> 04:06:43,668
home 50 years ago with promises,

7153
04:06:43,668 --> 04:06:45,200
and they turned into parking

7154
04:06:45,200 --> 04:06:46,137
lots. We're not relitigating

7155
04:06:46,137 --> 04:06:47,271
that. We're saying this time

7156
04:06:47,271 --> 04:06:49,271
the neighborhood gets

7157
04:06:49,774 --> 04:06:51,709
protections in writing. First,

7158
04:06:51,709 --> 04:06:53,100
I sent six written questions

7159
04:06:53,100 --> 04:06:54,479
with commitments. Which

7160
04:06:54,479 --> 04:06:55,913
commitments are enforceable,

7161
04:06:55,913 --> 04:06:58,150
what prevents dilution and

7162
04:06:58,150 --> 04:06:59,383
what's funded and when. No

7163
04:06:59,383 --> 04:07:00,551
answers. They said that they

7164
04:07:00,551 --> 04:07:02,286
would be adaptable to market

7165
04:07:02,286 --> 04:07:03,855
conditions. Flexibility for

7166
04:07:03,855 --> 04:07:06,855
them can mean uncertainty for

7167
04:07:07,158 --> 04:07:08,694
us. So what this looks like we

7168
04:07:08,694 --> 04:07:10,128
need to cap the heights. We

7169
04:07:10,128 --> 04:07:11,696
need to bring down the heights

7170
04:07:11,696 --> 04:07:13,931
of the buildings withreal

7171
04:07:13,931 --> 04:07:15,299
promises. We need to bind the

7172
04:07:15,299 --> 04:07:16,534
good intentions, the greenway

7173
04:07:16,534 --> 04:07:18,269
connections, protected bike

7174
04:07:18,269 --> 04:07:20,438
lanes, safe crossings funded,

7175
04:07:20,438 --> 04:07:21,906
scheduled and in the text do

7176
04:07:21,906 --> 04:07:23,441
that in the neighborhood won't

7177
04:07:23,441 --> 04:07:24,642
be in a position where the

7178
04:07:24,642 --> 04:07:26,811
front porch of the innovation

7179
04:07:26,811 --> 04:07:29,747
district. But once this passes

7180
04:07:29,747 --> 04:07:31,115
as drawn, the conversation

7181
04:07:31,115 --> 04:07:33,317
changes. Today, everyone's at

7182
04:07:33,317 --> 04:07:35,520
the table. After approval,

7183
04:07:35,520 --> 04:07:37,321
participation becomes voluntary.

7184
04:07:37,321 --> 04:07:39,290
Don't advance this tonight. Cap

7185
04:07:39,290 --> 04:07:41,292
the heights. Write protections

7186
04:07:41,292 --> 04:07:42,727
for vanderbilt are for for the

7187
04:07:42,727 --> 04:07:44,730
neighbors. And vanderbilt gets

7188
04:07:44,730 --> 04:07:46,498
the whole city on its side with

7189
04:07:46,498 --> 04:07:48,100
neighbors, with them and not

7190
04:07:48,100 --> 04:07:49,700
over them.

7191
04:07:49,700 --> 04:07:51,350
Thank you. Go ahead.

7192
04:07:51,350 --> 04:07:51,303
You're recognized.

7193
04:07:51,303 --> 04:07:53,303
Hello. My

7194
04:07:53,405 --> 04:07:54,739
name is joyce quirk. I live at

7195
04:07:54,739 --> 04:07:57,740
the corner of blair boulevard

7196
04:07:57,740 --> 04:07:58,911
and natchez trace. Natchez

7197
04:07:58,911 --> 04:08:01,450
trace is a two lane road that

7198
04:08:01,450 --> 04:08:03,514
many people use as a connector

7199
04:08:03,514 --> 04:08:06,514
between I-40 and vanderbilt and

7200
04:08:06,752 --> 04:08:08,586
the west end area. Imagine how

7201
04:08:08,586 --> 04:08:11,956
many more cars are going to be

7202
04:08:11,956 --> 04:08:13,691
driving on that two lane road.

7203
04:08:13,691 --> 04:08:15,793
21st avenue is already very

7204
04:08:15,793 --> 04:08:17,962
congested, so that's why they

7205
04:08:17,962 --> 04:08:19,831
drive down natchez trace. When

7206
04:08:19,831 --> 04:08:21,132
people meet me, they say and

7207
04:08:21,132 --> 04:08:22,967
find out where I live, they say,

7208
04:08:22,967 --> 04:08:24,802
oh, I drive past your house all

7209
04:08:24,802 --> 04:08:26,304
the time. Now, all these people

7210
04:08:26,304 --> 04:08:27,638
that might, there might be some

7211
04:08:27,638 --> 04:08:29,141
people that actually live in

7212
04:08:29,141 --> 04:08:31,310
this neighborhood that's great

7213
04:08:31,310 --> 04:08:33,111
or in this new place, but many

7214
04:08:33,111 --> 04:08:35,214
of them are going to drive and

7215
04:08:35,214 --> 04:08:37,149
they will not all fit on two

7216
04:08:37,149 --> 04:08:39,584
lane natchez trace. I encourage

7217
04:08:39,584 --> 04:08:41,786
you to scale this back and very

7218
04:08:41,786 --> 04:08:44,288
much consider natchez trace as

7219
04:08:44,288 --> 04:08:46,570
a very tiny two lane road

7220
04:08:46,570 --> 04:08:48,626
connecting to it. Thank you.

7221
04:08:48,626 --> 04:08:51,129
Thank you. Go ahead. You're

7222
04:08:51,129 --> 04:08:52,531
recognized.

7223
04:08:52,531 --> 04:08:52,930
I'm dawn kirk.

7224
04:08:52,930 --> 04:08:54,930
I

7225
04:08:57,268 --> 04:09:00,268
moved to houston in 1977, and

7226
04:09:00,905 --> 04:09:02,974
I'm here as a voice for birds.

7227
04:09:02,974 --> 04:09:04,709
Birds are integral to our lives

7228
04:09:04,709 --> 04:09:07,645
from woody woodpecker, big bird,

7229
04:09:07,645 --> 04:09:09,247
tweety bird, angry birds, the

7230
04:09:09,247 --> 04:09:11,647
orioles, cardinals, blue jays,

7231
04:09:12,351 --> 04:09:14,919
the eagles. We use birds to

7232
04:09:14,919 --> 04:09:17,689
promote all kinds of things.

7233
04:09:17,689 --> 04:09:20,291
They're woven into music city,

7234
04:09:20,291 --> 04:09:22,760
from roy acuff's great speckled

7235
04:09:22,760 --> 04:09:25,760
bird and dolly's a little

7236
04:09:27,990 --> 04:09:28,199
sparrow to miranda lambert's jason aldean's

7237
04:09:28,199 --> 04:09:30,599
mockingbird. They're part of

7238
04:09:31,737 --> 04:09:34,737
our soundtrack. They also love

7239
04:09:35,400 --> 04:09:37,542
nashville. We are in a flyway,

7240
04:09:37,542 --> 04:09:39,377
a primary route for millions of

7241
04:09:39,377 --> 04:09:41,777
migrating birds. Spring and

7242
04:09:41,980 --> 04:09:44,682
fall during the night of APRIL

7243
04:09:44,682 --> 04:09:46,884
7th this year, over 2 million

7244
04:09:46,884 --> 04:09:49,284
birds were tracked, migrating

7245
04:09:50,121 --> 04:09:52,290
over our city through months of

7246
04:09:52,290 --> 04:09:55,290
migration. Some of these birds

7247
04:09:55,660 --> 04:09:58,300
land in trees. At sunrise, they

7248
04:09:58,300 --> 04:10:01,266
go out for breakfast. They see

7249
04:10:01,266 --> 04:10:03,100
a tree reflected in a glass

7250
04:10:03,100 --> 04:10:05,571
window and think it's a real

7251
04:10:05,571 --> 04:10:08,571
tree. They say that reflection

7252
04:10:09,575 --> 04:10:12,575
and think insect berry seed,

7253
04:10:12,844 --> 04:10:16,480
boom. This results in a window

7254
04:10:16,480 --> 04:10:18,216
strike and death or trauma and

7255
04:10:18,216 --> 04:10:19,718
eventual death. When two

7256
04:10:19,718 --> 04:10:22,118
collisions kill more than 1

7257
04:10:22,253 --> 04:10:25,253
billion birds yearly in our

7258
04:10:25,423 --> 04:10:27,859
country, we in nashville lose

7259
04:10:27,859 --> 04:10:29,859
songbirds, cardinals, robins,

7260
04:10:31,229 --> 04:10:32,597
mockingbirds, wrens. Yet

7261
04:10:32,597 --> 04:10:34,465
collisions happen to be the

7262
04:10:34,465 --> 04:10:36,865
largest preventable cause of

7263
04:10:38,370 --> 04:10:40,770
bird deaths. Preventable? Yes,

7264
04:10:40,906 --> 04:10:43,306
thanks to non-reflective bird

7265
04:10:44,443 --> 04:10:47,579
safe glass birds give us so

7266
04:10:47,579 --> 04:10:50,579
much. Let's do something simple

7267
04:10:50,916 --> 04:10:53,152
to protect them. Vanderbilt, I

7268
04:10:53,152 --> 04:10:55,654
urge you to be truly innovative

7269
04:10:55,654 --> 04:10:57,788
and commit to bird safe glass

7270
04:10:57,788 --> 04:10:58,524
and council support. Amendment

7271
04:10:58,524 --> 04:11:00,524
two.

7272
04:11:02,528 --> 04:11:04,296
Thank you. Go ahead. Sir.

7273
04:11:04,296 --> 04:11:04,695
You're recognized.

7274
04:11:04,695 --> 04:11:06,695
Thank you,

7275
04:11:07,165 --> 04:11:08,633
MADAM Vice mayor jason holloman,

7276
04:11:08,633 --> 04:11:10,768
4210 park avenue and former

7277
04:11:10,768 --> 04:11:11,870
district 24 council member.

7278
04:11:11,870 --> 04:11:13,500
I've worked for the last

7279
04:11:13,500 --> 04:11:14,773
several months with this

7280
04:11:14,773 --> 04:11:17,900
hillsboro west end group to try

7281
04:11:17,900 --> 04:11:18,677
to negotiate with vanderbilt.

7282
04:11:18,677 --> 04:11:22,277
During my time on the council,

7283
04:11:22,281 --> 04:11:24,116
we negotiated and adopted an

7284
04:11:24,116 --> 04:11:25,516
institutional overlay for the

7285
04:11:25,516 --> 04:11:27,180
aquinas college just down the

7286
04:11:27,180 --> 04:11:28,420
street and for the free will

7287
04:11:28,420 --> 04:11:31,420
baptist college just down the

7288
04:11:31,657 --> 04:11:33,580
street. This proposal here is

7289
04:11:33,580 --> 04:11:34,694
certainly a better

7290
04:11:34,694 --> 04:11:36,694
configuration fo vanderbilt,

7291
04:11:37,960 --> 04:11:37,796
and it can be a better

7292
04:11:37,796 --> 04:11:39,598
configuration for the

7293
04:11:39,598 --> 04:11:41,366
neighborhood as well. But I do

7294
04:11:41,366 --> 04:11:43,534
want to highlight that as

7295
04:11:43,534 --> 04:11:45,269
presently presented, this is an

7296
04:11:45,269 --> 04:11:47,105
additional half million square

7297
04:11:47,105 --> 04:11:50,800
feet of development than what

7298
04:11:50,800 --> 04:11:51,750
is allowed by right. And this

7299
04:11:51,750 --> 04:11:53,278
neighborhood, as I think you

7300
04:11:53,278 --> 04:11:55,447
have heard, has not worked in

7301
04:11:55,447 --> 04:11:56,482
opposition, but has worked

7302
04:11:56,482 --> 04:11:58,882
collaboratively. It's just that

7303
04:11:58,984 --> 04:12:00,850
this is an incomplete

7304
04:12:00,850 --> 04:12:02,287
collaboration at this point.

7305
04:12:02,287 --> 04:12:04,456
And so what I would ask is that

7306
04:12:04,456 --> 04:12:05,858
there be the opportunity to

7307
04:12:05,858 --> 04:12:07,359
have you have heard from

7308
04:12:07,359 --> 04:12:09,940
several of these speakers

7309
04:12:09,940 --> 04:12:10,529
tonight to bring down these

7310
04:12:10,529 --> 04:12:12,664
heights, particularly as they

7311
04:12:12,664 --> 04:12:14,500
are adjacent to blakemore and

7312
04:12:14,500 --> 04:12:16,680
the existing single family

7313
04:12:16,680 --> 04:12:18,437
neighborhood, so that there is

7314
04:12:18,437 --> 04:12:19,972
better transition and heights

7315
04:12:19,972 --> 04:12:22,372
between that single family,

7316
04:12:22,408 --> 04:12:24,177
long term historic neighborhood

7317
04:12:24,177 --> 04:12:25,711
and the heights that we expect

7318
04:12:25,711 --> 04:12:27,846
on west end, and then that

7319
04:12:27,846 --> 04:12:29,348
there be overall reduction in

7320
04:12:29,348 --> 04:12:31,450
height, because we don't want

7321
04:12:31,450 --> 04:12:32,851
this to be a competitor to

7322
04:12:32,851 --> 04:12:34,987
downtown. We want this to

7323
04:12:34,987 --> 04:12:37,387
remain a vibrant university,

7324
04:12:38,590 --> 04:12:40,580
midtown area that supports,

7325
04:12:40,580 --> 04:12:42,940
downtown, but does not compete

7326
04:12:42,940 --> 04:12:44,363
with downtown. So I hope that

7327
04:12:44,363 --> 04:12:46,298
you will hear those concerns.

7328
04:12:46,298 --> 04:12:48,100
Work with COUNCILMAN Cash here

7329
04:12:48,100 --> 04:12:50,869
in the next few weeks and give

7330
04:12:50,869 --> 04:12:52,700
us the time to complete that

7331
04:12:52,700 --> 04:12:53,906
negotiation so that we can make

7332
04:12:53,906 --> 04:12:55,541
this a project that is not just

7333
04:12:55,541 --> 04:12:56,241
good for vanderbilt, but is

7334
04:12:56,241 --> 04:12:57,209
also good for the historic

7335
04:12:57,209 --> 04:12:59,209
hillsborough west end

7336
04:13:00,145 --> 04:13:00,512
neighborhood. Thank you.

7337
04:13:00,512 --> 04:13:02,512
All

7338
04:13:04,850 --> 04:13:06,985
right. Okay. Are you seeking to

7339
04:13:06,985 --> 04:13:09,121
be recognized in opposition?

7340
04:13:09,121 --> 04:13:10,923
Yeah, I've got a green shirt on.

7341
04:13:10,923 --> 04:13:12,357
It's not it's not tall enough.

7342
04:13:12,357 --> 04:13:15,928
I want to block john rich's

7343
04:13:15,928 --> 04:13:18,970
view. Why isn't it more taller?

7344
04:13:18,970 --> 04:13:19,865
Also, vanderbilt's got drones.

7345
04:13:19,865 --> 04:13:21,767
They got surveillance drones.

7346
04:13:21,767 --> 04:13:22,701
And this is going to be another

7347
04:13:22,701 --> 04:13:23,902
neighborhood that they're going

7348
04:13:23,902 --> 04:13:26,400
to be surveilling with their

7349
04:13:26,400 --> 04:13:28,140
drones. And I feel like that's

7350
04:13:28,140 --> 04:13:30,800
nashville too. And we should,

7351
04:13:30,800 --> 04:13:31,410
the ordinance that's also on

7352
04:13:31,410 --> 04:13:32,478
first reading today on drones,

7353
04:13:32,478 --> 04:13:33,412
that vanderbilt's rogram

7354
04:13:33,412 --> 04:13:35,447
should have to go through that

7355
04:13:35,447 --> 04:13:36,482
as well. And I wanted to

7356
04:13:36,482 --> 04:13:38,183
support this, but it's not tall

7357
04:13:38,183 --> 04:13:39,384
enough. And I'm afraid of the

7358
04:13:39,384 --> 04:13:40,453
we're going to have more drone

7359
04:13:40,453 --> 04:13:41,553
surveillance over neighborhood

7360
04:13:41,553 --> 04:13:42,187
and all of that. Thanks.

7361
04:13:42,187 --> 04:13:43,355
All

7362
04:13:43,355 --> 04:13:46,355
right. Is anyone else seeking

7363
04:13:46,959 --> 04:13:47,993
to be recognized to speak in

7364
04:13:47,993 --> 04:13:49,428
opposition? Okay. Go ahead.

7365
04:13:49,428 --> 04:13:51,428
Ma'am.

7366
04:13:51,530 --> 04:13:53,765
I am a former student of

7367
04:13:53,765 --> 04:13:55,935
council member cash. Growing up,

7368
04:13:55,935 --> 04:13:58,700
I would take the bus down west

7369
04:13:58,700 --> 04:13:59,571
end, get off, walk through

7370
04:13:59,571 --> 04:14:01,571
vanderbilt's campus, sometimes

7371
04:14:02,400 --> 04:14:04,176
up natchez, trace sometimes up

7372
04:14:04,176 --> 04:14:07,479
blake more, depending on how I

7373
04:14:07,479 --> 04:14:08,881
felt. And, I'm intimately

7374
04:14:08,881 --> 04:14:11,490
familiar with this area. I

7375
04:14:11,490 --> 04:14:12,451
don't own a home, but I'm a

7376
04:14:12,451 --> 04:14:14,586
longtime resident of the

7377
04:14:14,586 --> 04:14:16,421
neighborhood, and I urge

7378
04:14:16,421 --> 04:14:18,257
deferral tonight so that the

7379
04:14:18,257 --> 04:14:19,691
neighborhood can have more time

7380
04:14:19,691 --> 04:14:21,126
to work with council member

7381
04:14:21,126 --> 04:14:23,262
cash to understand the

7382
04:14:23,262 --> 04:14:24,830
amendments that were filed on

7383
04:14:24,830 --> 04:14:26,832
friday, and to move forward in

7384
04:14:26,832 --> 04:14:27,966
a way that's best for

7385
04:14:27,966 --> 04:14:29,101
vanderbilt and the neighbors.

7386
04:14:29,101 --> 04:14:30,469
Thank you.

7387
04:14:30,469 --> 04:14:31,870
Thank you. Anyone

7388
04:14:31,870 --> 04:14:34,406
else seeking to be recognized

7389
04:14:34,406 --> 04:14:35,874
in opposition? Okay. Seeing

7390
04:14:35,874 --> 04:14:38,710
none, I will declare the public

7391
04:14:38,710 --> 04:14:41,710
hearing closed. And it's over

7392
04:14:42,714 --> 04:14:44,850
to you, MR. Cash, for a motion,

7393
04:14:44,850 --> 04:14:47,786
to get this bill singular

7394
04:14:47,786 --> 04:14:49,555
before us. While in the end,

7395
04:14:49,555 --> 04:14:51,857
once potentially amended, you

7396
04:14:51,857 --> 04:14:53,258
can make a consolidated motion

7397
04:14:53,258 --> 04:14:54,927
at this juncture for purposes

7398
04:14:54,927 --> 04:14:57,327
of potential amendment, you'll

7399
04:14:57,796 --> 04:14:59,298
just please need to move 1446

7400
04:14:59,298 --> 04:14:59,431
separately and first.

7401
04:14:59,431 --> 04:15:01,431
right.

7402
04:15:03,268 --> 04:15:06,438
Thank you. I would like to move

7403
04:15:06,438 --> 04:15:08,106
on second reading and defer

7404
04:15:08,106 --> 04:15:08,640
third reading till SEPTEMBER

7405
04:15:08,640 --> 04:15:10,640
1st.

7406
04:15:11,176 --> 04:15:14,776
Okay. So there is a motion

7407
04:15:16,810 --> 04:15:19,810
to approve on second reading

7408
04:15:20,786 --> 04:15:23,786
with the third reading deferred

7409
04:15:26,250 --> 04:15:28,360
to SEPTEMBER 1st. And properly

7410
04:15:28,360 --> 04:15:29,528
seconded. Okay, we are on to

7411
04:15:29,528 --> 04:15:30,562
discussion. MR. Cash, you have

7412
04:15:30,562 --> 04:15:31,563
the floor, sir.

7413
04:15:31,563 --> 04:15:32,764
Thanks. I would

7414
04:15:32,764 --> 04:15:33,650
like to move my amendment.

7415
04:15:33,650 --> 04:15:34,533
All

7416
04:15:34,533 --> 04:15:36,735
right. There's a motion to

7417
04:15:36,735 --> 04:15:38,770
amend with amendment one. It's

7418
04:15:38,770 --> 04:15:39,805
properly seconded. Anything you

7419
04:15:39,805 --> 04:15:40,672
want to share about the

7420
04:15:40,672 --> 04:15:42,141
amendment, sir?

7421
04:15:42,141 --> 04:15:43,876
I do. Thank you.

7422
04:15:43,876 --> 04:15:45,844
And this amendment has a lot of

7423
04:15:45,844 --> 04:15:47,212
things in it. It has that it

7424
04:15:47,212 --> 04:15:48,580
has additional concessions. It

7425
04:15:48,580 --> 04:15:50,449
doesn't have 22 things in it,

7426
04:15:50,449 --> 04:15:53,285
but it starts at eight and goes

7427
04:15:53,285 --> 04:15:56,156
to 22. And the first five are

7428
04:15:56,156 --> 04:15:58,991
about reduced. The first five,

7429
04:15:58,991 --> 04:16:00,792
conditions reduce heights in

7430
04:16:00,792 --> 04:16:02,995
feet, not in stories, but in

7431
04:16:02,995 --> 04:16:04,396
feet, which is something that

7432
04:16:04,396 --> 04:16:06,796
the neighborhood folks have

7433
04:16:08,667 --> 04:16:09,802
with me have worked on. And

7434
04:16:09,802 --> 04:16:12,802
there are some really good

7435
04:16:13,372 --> 04:16:15,908
things in here about, some

7436
04:16:15,908 --> 04:16:18,908
funds for traffic calming over

7437
04:16:18,944 --> 04:16:20,947
a 15 year period as, as you

7438
04:16:20,947 --> 04:16:23,947
know, as the development grows

7439
04:16:24,183 --> 04:16:24,917
and, and has impact on the

7440
04:16:24,917 --> 04:16:26,917
neighborhood and the

7441
04:16:27,820 --> 04:16:29,820
surrounding communities. There

7442
04:16:30,722 --> 04:16:33,192
are a number of things about

7443
04:16:33,192 --> 04:16:35,360
construction, that are very,

7444
04:16:35,360 --> 04:16:37,950
are specific to protect the

7445
04:16:37,950 --> 04:16:39,950
neighborhood against

7446
04:16:41,200 --> 04:16:43,200
construction vehicles routes.

7447
04:16:43,268 --> 04:16:46,268
They're also things about like

7448
04:16:46,839 --> 04:16:47,172
posting, information online and

7449
04:16:47,172 --> 04:16:48,730
sharing.

7450
04:16:48,730 --> 04:16:49,775
MR. Cash, would you

7451
04:16:49,775 --> 04:16:50,776
move your mic a little closer

7452
04:16:50,776 --> 04:16:51,243
to your mouth, please?

7453
04:16:51,243 --> 04:16:52,811
Sharing.

7454
04:16:52,811 --> 04:16:55,849
There are a lot of good stuff

7455
04:16:55,849 --> 04:16:58,510
there on construction and

7456
04:16:58,510 --> 04:16:59,518
communication. There's also the

7457
04:16:59,518 --> 04:17:01,320
last thing there is a little

7458
04:17:01,320 --> 04:17:03,822
different. It is a, I'm asking

7459
04:17:03,822 --> 04:17:06,592
for a, an advisory committee to

7460
04:17:06,592 --> 04:17:07,826
go with this. And I do want to

7461
04:17:07,826 --> 04:17:09,928
take a minute to explain why.

7462
04:17:09,928 --> 04:17:10,762
And I believe that it is very

7463
04:17:10,762 --> 04:17:12,531
important. It was something I

7464
04:17:12,531 --> 04:17:14,931
started talking with vanderbilt

7465
04:17:15,968 --> 04:17:19,568
early on. Look, this is a 43

7466
04:17:20,380 --> 04:17:22,541
acre, 30 year regulatory s p

7467
04:17:22,541 --> 04:17:25,541
regulatory, meaning it has a

7468
04:17:25,777 --> 04:17:28,413
lots of uses and heights and,

7469
04:17:28,413 --> 04:17:29,748
you know, other elements to it,

7470
04:17:29,748 --> 04:17:32,148
you know, requirements about

7471
04:17:33,685 --> 04:17:36,850
green space and, infrastructure.

7472
04:17:39,491 --> 04:17:41,995
But, we need a long term way to

7473
04:17:41,995 --> 04:17:43,863
continue to have engagement

7474
04:17:43,863 --> 04:17:46,299
after we get the s p where we

7475
04:17:46,299 --> 04:17:48,802
want it. And it is, it becomes

7476
04:17:48,802 --> 04:17:50,969
law. We need continuous

7477
04:17:50,969 --> 04:17:52,905
engagement. So I've asked, and

7478
04:17:52,905 --> 04:17:55,641
there's a, an example of this

7479
04:17:55,641 --> 04:17:57,109
at belmont, which is a great,

7480
04:17:57,109 --> 04:17:58,544
one of the best neighborhood

7481
04:17:58,544 --> 04:18:00,712
committees that I work with.

7482
04:18:00,712 --> 04:18:03,917
It's very diverse. It is an

7483
04:18:03,917 --> 04:18:05,851
advisory committee. You know,

7484
04:18:05,851 --> 04:18:08,220
vanderbilt is, is, contributes

7485
04:18:08,220 --> 04:18:11,824
a lot to this community and it

7486
04:18:11,824 --> 04:18:14,824
is a great private university,

7487
04:18:15,829 --> 04:18:16,929
sometimes very private. And we,

7488
04:18:16,929 --> 04:18:19,640
they engage, they wanted to

7489
04:18:19,640 --> 04:18:22,334
engage on this s p and so I am

7490
04:18:22,334 --> 04:18:23,535
asking for this so that as this

7491
04:18:23,535 --> 04:18:25,572
regulatory s p becomes more of

7492
04:18:25,572 --> 04:18:28,740
a site, visit s p site based s

7493
04:18:28,740 --> 04:18:29,541
p that we are able to have

7494
04:18:29,541 --> 04:18:32,440
community members, a variety of

7495
04:18:32,440 --> 04:18:33,812
community members engage with

7496
04:18:33,812 --> 04:18:35,247
them and, you know, make sure

7497
04:18:35,247 --> 04:18:37,382
that they are following the

7498
04:18:37,382 --> 04:18:40,286
elements of the s p that they

7499
04:18:40,286 --> 04:18:41,920
can do face to face dialog with

7500
04:18:41,920 --> 04:18:44,320
vanderbilt and share concerns

7501
04:18:44,590 --> 04:18:46,580
and things they like. Move, I

7502
04:18:46,580 --> 04:18:47,527
move my amendment.

7503
04:18:47,527 --> 04:18:49,527
All right.

7504
04:18:50,362 --> 04:18:52,164
There is a motion to amend with

7505
04:18:52,164 --> 04:18:54,433
amendment one. It was properly

7506
04:18:54,433 --> 04:18:56,168
seconded. You have heard a

7507
04:18:56,168 --> 04:18:58,271
description of the bill's

7508
04:18:58,271 --> 04:18:59,739
sponsor and the amendment maker.

7509
04:18:59,739 --> 04:19:01,240
So we're on to discussion on

7510
04:19:01,240 --> 04:19:02,841
the motion to amend. Do you

7511
04:19:02,841 --> 04:19:03,842
seek to be recognized on the

7512
04:19:03,842 --> 04:19:03,911
amendment, MISS Evan siegel.

7513
04:19:03,911 --> 04:19:05,878
I

7514
04:19:05,878 --> 04:19:06,912
was just in the queue because I

7515
04:19:06,912 --> 04:19:08,882
thought councilmember cash was

7516
04:19:08,882 --> 04:19:10,116
going to run out of time. So if

7517
04:19:10,116 --> 04:19:10,816
he was not quite finished.

7518
04:19:10,816 --> 04:19:12,170
MR.

7519
04:19:12,170 --> 04:19:14,880
Cash, is there more that you

7520
04:19:14,880 --> 04:19:14,787
would like to share on? Okay.

7521
04:19:14,787 --> 04:19:15,621
Go ahead, sir.

7522
04:19:15,621 --> 04:19:17,621
Thank you. Just

7523
04:19:18,570 --> 04:19:19,592
a lot of these things came from

7524
04:19:19,592 --> 04:19:20,926
not just not certainly not just

7525
04:19:20,926 --> 04:19:22,361
me, but through a lot of

7526
04:19:22,361 --> 04:19:25,264
community meetings, a lot of

7527
04:19:25,264 --> 04:19:27,132
dialog. We did take a lot of

7528
04:19:27,132 --> 04:19:29,335
time with this. And this is one

7529
04:19:29,335 --> 04:19:30,669
of the results. We also got

7530
04:19:30,669 --> 04:19:32,471
some great things in the

7531
04:19:32,471 --> 04:19:33,239
planning conditions and

7532
04:19:33,239 --> 04:19:35,639
departmental conditions that I

7533
04:19:37,609 --> 04:19:39,145
can talk about later, but I do,

7534
04:19:39,145 --> 04:19:42,145
these things are very important

7535
04:19:42,181 --> 04:19:44,184
to this, to this bill. And I,

7536
04:19:44,184 --> 04:19:45,250
it is a, like I said, it's a

7537
04:19:45,250 --> 04:19:47,587
regulatory space. So there are

7538
04:19:47,587 --> 04:19:50,880
a lot of uncertainties to it

7539
04:19:50,880 --> 04:19:52,624
that along with the, you know,

7540
04:19:52,624 --> 04:19:54,561
density, means that we do have

7541
04:19:54,561 --> 04:19:55,594
to take time to make sure that

7542
04:19:55,594 --> 04:19:56,729
we're dotting our I's and

7543
04:19:56,729 --> 04:19:59,199
crossing our t's. I've been

7544
04:19:59,199 --> 04:20:00,533
doing that for months. I,

7545
04:20:00,533 --> 04:20:02,734
someone said, I like we're

7546
04:20:02,734 --> 04:20:03,837
rushing this. I asked for

7547
04:20:03,837 --> 04:20:04,939
deferrals at planning four

7548
04:20:04,939 --> 04:20:07,600
times and received it three

7549
04:20:07,600 --> 04:20:08,641
times. I did not file right

7550
04:20:08,641 --> 04:20:10,643
away like we are. We have not

7551
04:20:10,643 --> 04:20:13,913
been rushing this. I am not

7552
04:20:13,913 --> 04:20:15,682
ready to say we are there. I'm

7553
04:20:15,682 --> 04:20:17,784
willing to defer for a meeting

7554
04:20:17,784 --> 04:20:19,652
so we have more time. And I

7555
04:20:19,652 --> 04:20:22,520
appreciate all the comments.

7556
04:20:22,855 --> 04:20:24,523
But on the amendment I. I think

7557
04:20:24,523 --> 04:20:26,592
there's a lot of good stuff in

7558
04:20:26,592 --> 04:20:28,761
here. I, I hope I can get my

7559
04:20:28,761 --> 04:20:30,363
colleagues support and it will

7560
04:20:30,363 --> 04:20:32,599
make the bill better. And then

7561
04:20:32,599 --> 04:20:34,367
we will continue to work on the

7562
04:20:34,367 --> 04:20:36,935
concerns that we heard tonight.

7563
04:20:36,935 --> 04:20:38,437
Okay. Thank you, MR. Cash. MISS

7564
04:20:38,437 --> 04:20:40,572
Allen, I assume you're in the

7565
04:20:40,572 --> 04:20:42,709
queue for your amendment later.

7566
04:20:42,709 --> 04:20:44,577
Okay. So any discussion on the

7567
04:20:44,577 --> 04:20:46,147
motion to amend? Seeing none.

7568
04:20:46,147 --> 04:20:48,780
All in favor of the amendment,

7569
04:20:48,780 --> 04:20:50,583
please say I. Any voting? No or

7570
04:20:50,583 --> 04:20:53,583
abstaining. All right. That was

7571
04:20:54,530 --> 04:20:55,522
the abstention from MR. Kaplan,

7572
04:20:55,522 --> 04:20:57,423
the motion to amend. Okay. So

7573
04:20:57,423 --> 04:20:59,992
that was amendment by the

7574
04:20:59,992 --> 04:21:01,394
primary sponsor. So I'm going

7575
04:21:01,394 --> 04:21:04,263
to assume that we are renewing

7576
04:21:04,263 --> 04:21:05,698
this motion to approve, as

7577
04:21:05,698 --> 04:21:08,698
amended, so far with amendment

7578
04:21:09,735 --> 04:21:10,903
one. And now we could

7579
04:21:10,903 --> 04:21:13,303
discussion continues. And next

7580
04:21:15,730 --> 04:21:15,842
in the queue is MISS Allen.

7581
04:21:15,842 --> 04:21:17,430
MADAM Vice mayor.

7582
04:21:17,430 --> 04:21:17,277
I want.

7583
04:21:17,277 --> 04:21:17,709
To.

7584
04:21:17,709 --> 04:21:18,511
Start by.

7585
04:21:18,511 --> 04:21:20,413
Just thanking.

7586
04:21:20,413 --> 04:21:22,248
Council member cash for all the

7587
04:21:22,248 --> 04:21:23,483
work he's put into this and all

7588
04:21:23,483 --> 04:21:25,251
the neighbors that have worked

7589
04:21:25,251 --> 04:21:26,385
on this for two years, and that

7590
04:21:26,385 --> 04:21:27,519
came out to speak. This is

7591
04:21:27,519 --> 04:21:29,155
definitely been an iterative

7592
04:21:29,155 --> 04:21:30,658
process. And vanderbilt has,

7593
04:21:30,658 --> 04:21:32,459
had a lot to listen to. And I

7594
04:21:32,459 --> 04:21:34,194
think they have been good

7595
04:21:34,194 --> 04:21:35,995
listeners. And I am I am very

7596
04:21:35,995 --> 04:21:38,640
pleased with the amendment and

7597
04:21:38,640 --> 04:21:39,198
the, the changes that have been

7598
04:21:39,198 --> 04:21:41,333
asked for and incorporated into

7599
04:21:41,333 --> 04:21:42,836
that and also for the deferral

7600
04:21:42,836 --> 04:21:43,938
that's been requested. I think

7601
04:21:43,938 --> 04:21:45,605
there's more discussion to be

7602
04:21:45,605 --> 04:21:47,874
had, and I think we will use

7603
04:21:47,874 --> 04:21:48,941
that time well, including on my

7604
04:21:48,941 --> 04:21:50,509
amendment two, which I'm not

7605
04:21:50,509 --> 04:21:51,945
going to move. It does deal

7606
04:21:51,945 --> 04:21:53,846
with bird safe glass, but I

7607
04:21:53,846 --> 04:21:55,810
need to work on the language a

7608
04:21:55,810 --> 04:21:56,182
little bit to make sure that I

7609
04:21:56,182 --> 04:21:57,950
don't have any unintended

7610
04:21:57,950 --> 04:21:59,886
consequences. So I do intend to

7611
04:21:59,886 --> 04:22:01,119
bring it back on third. And so

7612
04:22:01,119 --> 04:22:02,856
I will be using this interim

7613
04:22:02,856 --> 04:22:04,900
time to just refine my language

7614
04:22:04,900 --> 04:22:06,659
on that one as well. So with

7615
04:22:06,659 --> 04:22:08,610
that, I would simply just ask

7616
04:22:08,610 --> 04:22:10,960
for my colleagues full support

7617
04:22:10,960 --> 04:22:11,264
on the motions that the sponsor

7618
04:22:11,264 --> 04:22:12,332

7619
04:22:12,332 --> 04:22:13,266
for all his efforts.

7620
04:22:13,266 --> 04:22:15,266

Appreciate that. Okay. Is there

7622
04:22:20,640 --> 04:22:23,640

7656
04:23:32,278 --> 04:23:33,780
because we still have more

7657
04:23:33,780 --> 04:23:36,616
bills on public hearing. This

7658
04:23:36,616 --> 04:23:39,452

7659
04:23:39,452 --> 04:23:42,452

04:27:48,201 --> 04:27:50,601
companions to each other.

7793
04:27:51,104 --> 04:27:53,239
Agenda items 22 and 23 sponsor

7794
04:27:53,239 --> 04:27:55,639
tombs. Agenda item 22 is

7795
04:27:56,276 --> 04:27:57,911
ordinance bl 2026-1478. This is

7796
04:27:57,911 --> 04:27:59,113
an ordinance to amend title 17,

7797
04:27:59,113 --> 04:28:00,246
the metro code of laws zoning

7798
04:28:00,246 --> 04:28:02,215
ordinance. The metro government

7799
04:28:02,215 --> 04:28:03,483
by changing from our ten to sp

7800
04:28:03,483 --> 04:28:04,784

the northwest corner between

7805
04:28:13,593 --> 04:28:16,593
curtis street and lloyd avenue.

7806
04:28:16,996 --> 04:28:18,798
This is 6.32 acres to permit 62

7807
04:28:18,798 --> 04:28:20,798
multifamily residential units,

7808
04:28:21,668 --> 04:28:23,690
and again, it's companion 1472,

7809
04:28:23,690 --> 04:28:24,138
which requires certain

7810
04:28:24,138 --> 04:28:25,305
materials to be restricted in

7811
04:28:25,305 --> 04:28:27,705
the construction of buildings

7812
04:28:27,907 --> 04:28:29,309
mentioned in 1471. MISS Tombs,

7813
04:28:29,309 --> 04:28:29,609

7814
04:28:29,609 --> 04:28:31,311
Thank you,

7832
04:29:01,641 --> 04:29:05,241
So if you would please come

7833
04:29:05,645 --> 04:29:07,800

7834
04:29:07,800 --> 04:29:08,948
person speaking in opposition

will follow those in support. I

7836
04:29:10,750 --> 04:29:12,519
see you there, ma'am. Well, not

7837
04:29:12,519 --> 04:29:13,620
so much behind the column, but.

7838
04:29:13,620 --> 04:29:16,620
Gotcha. Okay. Yes, ma'am. Go

7839
04:29:17,223 --> 04:29:17,590
ahead sir. Go ahead.

7840
04:29:17,590 --> 04:29:19,425
Members of

7841
04:29:19,425 --> 04:29:21,861
the council. I'm jeff hines

7842
04:29:21,861 --> 04:29:23,997
with catalyst design group.

7843
04:29:23,997 --> 04:29:25,565
What I would like to do briefly

7844
04:29:25,565 --> 04:29:27,568
is give you a little bit of

7845
04:29:27,568 --> 04:29:29,968
history and perspective about

7846
04:29:31,504 --> 04:29:34,504
this proposal. This is the

7847
04:29:34,774 --> 04:29:36,176
fourth of three previous psps

7848
04:29:36,176 --> 04:29:38,378
that were approved for this

7849
04:29:38,378 --> 04:29:39,813
area. They began with a

7850
04:29:39,813 --> 04:29:41,813
rezoning along clarksville

7851
04:29:41,981 --> 04:29:44,184
highway and progressed to the

7852
04:29:44,184 --> 04:29:46,319
east over probably the last ten

7853
04:29:46,319 --> 04:29:48,870
years, with a total of

7854
04:29:48,870 --> 04:29:50,870
approximately 50 acres being

7855
04:29:51,250 --> 04:29:52,458
involved. This body heard a

7856
04:29:52,458 --> 04:29:54,962
combination of the three first

7857
04:29:54,962 --> 04:29:57,831
s ps in an amendment last

7858
04:29:57,831 --> 04:29:59,667
summer and approved that which

7859
04:29:59,667 --> 04:30:01,468
with council member tombs as

7860
04:30:01,468 --> 04:30:03,468
assistant assistance, moved

7861
04:30:03,970 --> 04:30:06,139
around some of the density.

7862
04:30:06,139 --> 04:30:08,308
Basically, part of those

7863
04:30:08,308 --> 04:30:10,443
original s ps are under

7864
04:30:10,443 --> 04:30:11,544
construction now. Ellington is

7865
04:30:11,544 --> 04:30:13,380
building workforcehousing.

7866
04:30:13,380 --> 04:30:15,115
There's market rate housing.

7867
04:30:15,115 --> 04:30:17,618
And my client who will speak in

7868
04:30:17,618 --> 04:30:20,618
a moment, motor homes is

7869
04:30:20,887 --> 04:30:22,322
building townhomes and cottage

7870
04:30:22,322 --> 04:30:24,722
residences within those first

7871
04:30:24,925 --> 04:30:26,593
three. This s p continues upon

7872
04:30:26,593 --> 04:30:28,796
the infrastructure that was

7873
04:30:28,796 --> 04:30:31,331
built out in those initial

7874
04:30:31,331 --> 04:30:33,132
phases, which included new

7875
04:30:33,132 --> 04:30:34,534
roadways, new traffic signal at

7876
04:30:34,534 --> 04:30:36,369
clarksville highway,

7877
04:30:36,369 --> 04:30:38,369
intersection, improvements at

7878
04:30:40,307 --> 04:30:42,442
multiple locations. And this

7879
04:30:42,442 --> 04:30:45,440
proposal ties back to that

7880
04:30:45,440 --> 04:30:46,913
infrastructure traffic wise,

7881
04:30:46,913 --> 04:30:48,948
infrastructure wise. So really

7882
04:30:48,948 --> 04:30:51,218
it is an expansion of those

7883
04:30:51,218 --> 04:30:53,254
prior investments. What you

7884
04:30:53,254 --> 04:30:54,754
will probably hear from, from

7885
04:30:54,754 --> 04:30:57,154
anybody that speaks against

7886
04:30:58,358 --> 04:31:00,160
this, is generally the

7887
04:31:00,160 --> 04:31:03,160
residents on lloyd avenue is

7888
04:31:03,296 --> 04:31:07,300
who has reached out to us. And

7889
04:31:07,300 --> 04:31:09,202
that is a dead end street that,

7890
04:31:09,202 --> 04:31:11,271
has some larger lots and

7891
04:31:11,271 --> 04:31:14,207
residences. However, we are not

7892
04:31:14,207 --> 04:31:16,409
tying onto that street with any

7893
04:31:16,409 --> 04:31:18,478
new driveways or vehicular

7894
04:31:18,478 --> 04:31:20,280
improvements. We have seven

7895
04:31:20,280 --> 04:31:22,750
residences that front onto that

7896
04:31:22,750 --> 04:31:23,183
street and would connect

7897
04:31:23,183 --> 04:31:25,183
sidewalks.

7898
04:31:26,120 --> 04:31:28,222
Thank you. Any are

7899
04:31:28,222 --> 04:31:29,290
you seeking to speak in support?

7900
04:31:29,290 --> 04:31:29,624
Yes. Okay. Go ahead.

7901
04:31:29,624 --> 04:31:31,570
good

7902
04:31:31,570 --> 04:31:33,694
evening. My name is jesse

7903
04:31:33,694 --> 04:31:36,694
mcinerney. I'm with motor homes.

7904
04:31:36,830 --> 04:31:39,666
We have recently had, as of

7905
04:31:39,666 --> 04:31:41,634
today, some feedback from

7906
04:31:41,634 --> 04:31:42,937
COUNCILWOMAN Tombs. Just want

7907
04:31:42,937 --> 04:31:44,371
to address just a couple of

7908
04:31:44,371 --> 04:31:46,607
those things real quick to the

7909
04:31:46,607 --> 04:31:48,409
group. I've heard a lot tonight

7910
04:31:48,409 --> 04:31:49,209
about housing prices and

7911
04:31:49,209 --> 04:31:50,743
affordability and things like

7912
04:31:50,743 --> 04:31:52,780
that. One of the things we do

7913
04:31:52,780 --> 04:31:55,181
at moda is we offer a three

7914
04:31:55,181 --> 04:31:57,181
tiered, occupancy strategy,

7915
04:31:58,520 --> 04:32:00,653
which is rent, rent to own and

7916
04:32:00,653 --> 04:32:03,530
just straight purchases. We

7917
04:32:03,791 --> 04:32:05,692
pride ourselves on working with

7918
04:32:05,692 --> 04:32:07,427
folks that are either new and

7919
04:32:07,427 --> 04:32:08,596
first time homeowners or

7920
04:32:08,596 --> 04:32:11,300
working through a situation and

7921
04:32:11,300 --> 04:32:12,466
have transitioned from

7922
04:32:12,466 --> 04:32:15,690
ownership and now renting to

7923
04:32:15,690 --> 04:32:16,237
get those folks back into

7924
04:32:16,237 --> 04:32:18,637
ownership and understanding the

7925
04:32:18,739 --> 04:32:20,741
virtues of ownership. So, there

7926
04:32:20,741 --> 04:32:22,175
was a couple questions about

7927
04:32:22,175 --> 04:32:24,575
percentages of ownership versus

7928
04:32:25,790 --> 04:32:26,179
lease proper units. It's at the

7929
04:32:26,179 --> 04:32:28,382
discretion of the people that

7930
04:32:28,382 --> 04:32:30,782
show up. Typically, our

7931
04:32:31,251 --> 04:32:33,651
communities are 60% leased, at

7932
04:32:33,687 --> 04:32:36,223
the onset. And then it

7933
04:32:36,223 --> 04:32:37,658
transitioned to 60% owned over

7934
04:32:37,658 --> 04:32:40,580
the course of years.

7935
04:32:40,528 --> 04:32:42,862
So it has been a system that

7936
04:32:42,862 --> 04:32:45,199
has worked for us. There's also

7937
04:32:45,199 --> 04:32:48,199
been some community outreach as

7938
04:32:48,568 --> 04:32:49,869
far as, us keeping them

7939
04:32:49,869 --> 04:32:51,738
apprized of what's going on at

7940
04:32:51,738 --> 04:32:53,206
the project. We're happy to

7941
04:32:53,206 --> 04:32:54,542
provide a monthly bulletin. I

7942
04:32:54,542 --> 04:32:56,942
can work with COUNCILWOMAN

7943
04:32:57,110 --> 04:32:58,579
Tombs to be sure that we reach,

7944
04:32:58,579 --> 04:32:59,814
to reach out to everybody in

7945
04:32:59,814 --> 04:33:02,482
the community that would like

7946
04:33:02,482 --> 04:33:04,150
to have notices of what has

7947
04:33:04,150 --> 04:33:06,550
been completed, and probably

7948
04:33:06,887 --> 04:33:09,290
more notably, what is coming up,

7949
04:33:09,290 --> 04:33:10,791
down the line. With that,

7950
04:33:10,791 --> 04:33:11,892
that's all I have. And we'll

7951
04:33:11,892 --> 04:33:12,927
continue to work with

7952
04:33:12,927 --> 04:33:14,128
COUNCILWOMAN Tombs and the

7953
04:33:14,128 --> 04:33:15,596
community between now and third

7954
04:33:15,596 --> 04:33:16,597
reading to make sure we address

7955
04:33:16,597 --> 04:33:17,597
anyone's concerns.

7956
04:33:17,597 --> 04:33:19,400
All right.

7957
04:33:19,400 --> 04:33:22,336
Is there anyone else seeking to

7958
04:33:22,336 --> 04:33:24,772
be recognized in support? Okay.

7959
04:33:24,772 --> 04:33:25,940
Seeing none. Those persons in

7960
04:33:25,940 --> 04:33:27,741
opposition, if you would please

7961
04:33:27,741 --> 04:33:29,143
come forward to speak, you're

7962
04:33:29,143 --> 04:33:30,244
recognized.

7963
04:33:30,244 --> 04:33:32,446
Thank you for the

7964
04:33:32,446 --> 04:33:34,548
opportunity. Just wanted to be

7965
04:33:34,548 --> 04:33:37,548
brief. My only opposition isn't

7966
04:33:37,818 --> 04:33:40,321
the actual build. It's the

7967
04:33:40,321 --> 04:33:43,321
amount or the volume. The

7968
04:33:43,924 --> 04:33:45,326
neighborhood itself isn't,

7969
04:33:45,326 --> 04:33:47,895
conducive to the traffic that

7970
04:33:47,895 --> 04:33:49,696
will come with that. As the

7971
04:33:49,696 --> 04:33:51,465
gentleman was speaking before,

7972
04:33:51,465 --> 04:33:53,667
traffic measures or traffic

7973
04:33:53,667 --> 04:33:55,436
improvement has happened on the

7974
04:33:55,436 --> 04:33:57,638
outside of curtis street and

7975
04:33:57,638 --> 04:34:00,107
lloyd avenue. On the inside,

7976
04:34:00,107 --> 04:34:02,610
it's just a dead end street and

7977
04:34:02,610 --> 04:34:04,440
a loop that people use as a

7978
04:34:04,440 --> 04:34:05,779
shortcut. And then we have a

7979
04:34:05,779 --> 04:34:07,681
towing company in the back of

7980
04:34:07,681 --> 04:34:10,151
the neighborhood that also have

7981
04:34:10,151 --> 04:34:11,585
high volume traffic. We have

7982
04:34:11,585 --> 04:34:12,720
elderly and children in the

7983
04:34:12,720 --> 04:34:14,488
neighborhood bus stops in the

7984
04:34:14,488 --> 04:34:16,488
neighborhood where people

7985
04:34:17,791 --> 04:34:19,927
really don't have safe,

7986
04:34:19,927 --> 04:34:21,862
adequate movement. There are no

7987
04:34:21,862 --> 04:34:22,897
sidewalks in the older parts of

7988
04:34:22,897 --> 04:34:25,297
the neighborhood, which is

7989
04:34:26,100 --> 04:34:27,835
where I live on. Curtis. And

7990
04:34:27,835 --> 04:34:30,400
they mentioned that most of the,

7991
04:34:30,400 --> 04:34:32,506
the driveways wouldn't be on

7992
04:34:32,506 --> 04:34:34,642
lloyd. So that leaves curtis.

7993
04:34:34,642 --> 04:34:37,611
Curtis is a high volume, high

7994
04:34:37,611 --> 04:34:38,979
trafficked street. And

7995
04:34:38,979 --> 04:34:40,447
developers come in and do not

7996
04:34:40,447 --> 04:34:42,550
fix the road they leave. Our

7997
04:34:42,550 --> 04:34:45,119
road is like riding an ocean

7998
04:34:45,119 --> 04:34:47,621
wave and nobody comes back to

7999
04:34:47,621 --> 04:34:48,722
fix it. So I just am the only

8000
04:34:48,722 --> 04:34:52,159
opposition that I do have is

8001
04:34:52,159 --> 04:34:53,694
that the volume will produce

8002
04:34:53,694 --> 04:34:54,728
more traffic in the

8003
04:34:54,728 --> 04:34:55,896
neighborhood, which is unsafe.

8004
04:34:55,896 --> 04:34:57,932
My father lives there. He rides

8005
04:34:57,932 --> 04:34:58,999
a scooter. He's like 80

8006
04:34:58,999 --> 04:35:00,835
something. But it's just

8007
04:35:00,835 --> 04:35:03,370
concerning because there are so

8008
04:35:03,370 --> 04:35:04,805
many people traveling in and

8009
04:35:04,805 --> 04:35:07,805
out. And then adding more

8010
04:35:08,800 --> 04:35:10,945
volume of people is a, is a

8011
04:35:10,945 --> 04:35:13,945
cautionary or, or just think

8012
04:35:13,948 --> 04:35:15,616
about making it less in volume

8013
04:35:15,616 --> 04:35:17,184
and not so much. That's my only

8014
04:35:17,184 --> 04:35:19,253
concern. Thank you for the time.

8015
04:35:19,253 --> 04:35:20,621
Thank you. Is there anyone else

8016
04:35:20,621 --> 04:35:22,756
seeking to be recognized in

8017
04:35:22,756 --> 04:35:23,891
opposition? Seeing none, I will

8018
04:35:23,891 --> 04:35:25,693
declare the public hearing

8019
04:35:25,693 --> 04:35:27,928
closed and it's back to you,

8020
04:35:27,928 --> 04:35:31,650
MISS Tombs, for a motion on

8021
04:35:31,650 --> 04:35:32,500
these bills. Go ahead ma'am.

8022
04:35:32,500 --> 04:35:34,269
Thank you, MADAM Vice mayor.

8023
04:35:34,269 --> 04:35:34,502
Move for approval with a

8024
04:35:34,502 --> 04:35:35,736
comment.

8025
04:35:35,736 --> 04:35:38,136
All right. There's a

8026
04:35:39,600 --> 04:35:40,508
motion to approve 1471 and 1472

8027
04:35:40,508 --> 04:35:42,610
in a consolidated motion. Is

8028
04:35:42,610 --> 04:35:43,410
there a second? Okay. Go ahead

8029
04:35:43,410 --> 04:35:45,410
ma'am.

8030
04:35:45,479 --> 04:35:46,881
Thank you. So as the

8031
04:35:46,881 --> 04:35:48,716
gentleman spoke, who spoke in

8032
04:35:48,716 --> 04:35:49,884
favor, said there. This is a

8033
04:35:49,884 --> 04:35:52,653
project that is part of

8034
04:35:52,653 --> 04:35:54,855
multiple phases off of curtis

8035
04:35:54,855 --> 04:35:56,290
street in clarksville highway.

8036
04:35:56,290 --> 04:35:58,920
The current parcel that is

8037
04:35:58,920 --> 04:36:01,328
being added as an expansion of

8038
04:36:01,328 --> 04:36:03,164
the existing s p, by right,

8039
04:36:03,164 --> 04:36:05,564
allows 27 duplexes, which is

8040
04:36:08,135 --> 04:36:10,304
about 54 units. What is being,

8041
04:36:10,304 --> 04:36:11,438
what is up for approval is 62

8042
04:36:11,438 --> 04:36:12,940
units. So you're talking about

8043
04:36:12,940 --> 04:36:14,308
eight additional units. I know

8044
04:36:14,308 --> 04:36:16,410
that there are some stormwater

8045
04:36:16,410 --> 04:36:17,511
concerns in that area. In

8046
04:36:17,511 --> 04:36:19,130
exchange for these eight

8047
04:36:19,130 --> 04:36:21,148
additional units, this project

8048
04:36:21,148 --> 04:36:22,550
comes with some stormwater

8049
04:36:22,550 --> 04:36:23,984
improvements. It does come with

8050
04:36:23,984 --> 04:36:26,384
some sidewalk improvements as

8051
04:36:26,520 --> 04:36:28,322
well. All of the phases put

8052
04:36:28,322 --> 04:36:30,524
together come with a plethora

8053
04:36:30,524 --> 04:36:32,924
of sidewalk improvements, new

8054
04:36:32,993 --> 04:36:34,829
street connections, new traffic

8055
04:36:34,829 --> 04:36:35,930
lights. So there will be

8056
04:36:35,930 --> 04:36:37,970
improvements to curtis street.

8057
04:36:37,970 --> 04:36:39,166
Curtis street is a little bit

8058
04:36:39,166 --> 04:36:40,334
tricky because it's so steep.

8059
04:36:40,334 --> 04:36:42,200
But to the extent that there

8060
04:36:42,200 --> 04:36:43,471
can be improvements on curtis

8061
04:36:43,471 --> 04:36:46,471
street that is already worked

8062
04:36:46,640 --> 04:36:47,975
into these, s p requirements,

8063
04:36:47,975 --> 04:36:50,277
and I will continue working

8064
04:36:50,277 --> 04:36:51,480
with the neighborhood to try to

8065
04:36:51,480 --> 04:36:53,481
put improvements on curtis

8066
04:36:53,481 --> 04:36:54,648
street because of the steepness

8067
04:36:54,648 --> 04:36:55,883
of the street. That kind of

8068
04:36:55,883 --> 04:36:58,252
limits the traffic calming that

8069
04:36:58,252 --> 04:36:59,854
can go on that road. But again,

8070
04:36:59,854 --> 04:37:00,988
there's already there's a lot

8071
04:37:00,988 --> 04:37:02,189
of infrastructure improvements

8072
04:37:02,189 --> 04:37:03,991
that are coming as part of

8073
04:37:03,991 --> 04:37:05,693
these projects, which is a

8074
04:37:05,693 --> 04:37:08,629
benefit to the community with a

8075
04:37:08,629 --> 04:37:10,640
slight uptick in density. So I

8076
04:37:10,640 --> 04:37:13,640
renew my motion for approval.

8077
04:37:13,334 --> 04:37:15,469
All right. There is a motion

8078
04:37:15,469 --> 04:37:16,871
properly seconded for approval

8079
04:37:16,871 --> 04:37:19,390
on second of three readings.

8080
04:37:19,390 --> 04:37:20,775
Any discussion? Seeing none.

8081
04:37:20,775 --> 04:37:22,610
All in aye.

8082
04:37:22,610 --> 04:37:24,145
Any voting or abstaining. Okay.

8083
04:37:24,145 --> 04:37:26,614
These have passed their second

8084
04:37:26,614 --> 04:37:29,140
reading. Next agenda item 24.

8085
04:37:29,850 --> 04:37:31,719

8086
04:37:31,719 --> 04:37:33,154

04:45:38,306 --> 04:45:38,807
you are recognized.

8343
04:45:38,807 --> 04:45:40,107
Could we

8344
04:45:40,107 --> 04:45:41,576
open the public hearing, please?

8345
04:45:41,576 --> 04:45:43,110
Yes. I declare the public

8346
04:45:43,110 --> 04:45:46,110
hearing open for MISS Hancock's

8347
04:45:46,715 --> 04:45:47,848
bills. 1479 and 1480. Would all

8348
04:45:47,848 --> 04:45:48,984
members of the public here in

8349
04:45:48,984 --> 04:45:51,984
support of these bills please

8350
04:45:52,200 --> 04:45:53,522
raise your hands? Thank you.

8351
04:45:53,522 --> 04:45:55,357
would all members of the public

8352
04:45:55,357 --> 04:45:58,192
here in opposition to these

8353
04:45:58,192 --> 04:46:00,128
bills please raise your hands?

8354
04:46:00,128 --> 04:46:02,665
Okay. I'm seeing three persons

8355
04:46:02,665 --> 04:46:04,633
in opposition behind you. With

8356
04:46:04,633 --> 04:46:07,633
the persons here in support

8357
04:46:07,902 --> 04:46:09,336
seek to be recognized and speak.

8358
04:46:09,336 --> 04:46:11,736
Hello. The honorable anthony

8359
04:46:14,342 --> 04:46:17,279
davis. Come on up to the podium.

8360
04:46:17,279 --> 04:46:18,647
Person speaking in support will

8361
04:46:18,647 --> 04:46:19,481
go first and persons in

8362
04:46:19,481 --> 04:46:21,249
opposition will speak

8363
04:46:21,249 --> 04:46:23,118
afterwards. Okay. Go ahead sir.

8364
04:46:23,118 --> 04:46:24,853
Thank you. Vice mayor anthony

8365
04:46:24,853 --> 04:46:27,756
davis, a resident of district

8366
04:46:27,756 --> 04:46:30,158
seven. I'll be brief. I know, I

8367
04:46:30,158 --> 04:46:32,394
know, it's a late night for us.

8368
04:46:32,394 --> 04:46:35,994
We've been working on this sb

8369
04:46:36,364 --> 04:46:38,533
approximately a year now. And,

8370
04:46:38,533 --> 04:46:40,350
originally planning staff had

8371
04:46:40,350 --> 04:46:41,970
recommended going the sb route.

8372
04:46:41,970 --> 04:46:43,400
We originally tried to do a

8373
04:46:43,400 --> 04:46:44,706
base zoning, but they

8374
04:46:44,706 --> 04:46:46,274
recommended sb. So for several

8375
04:46:46,274 --> 04:46:47,877
months now we've been working

8376
04:46:47,877 --> 04:46:49,278
with staff and councilmember

8377
04:46:49,278 --> 04:46:51,213
hancock has been great to work

8378
04:46:51,213 --> 04:46:52,882
with, and the community to

8379
04:46:52,882 --> 04:46:54,716
refine this unique site. It's a

8380
04:46:54,716 --> 04:46:56,918
four acre infill site. It's

8381
04:46:56,918 --> 04:46:58,653
neighborhood evolving. And our

8382
04:46:58,653 --> 04:47:01,590
project, it's an sp essentially

8383
04:47:01,590 --> 04:47:04,159
asking for about rm 15 level

8384
04:47:04,159 --> 04:47:06,559
zoning. There's several species

8385
04:47:07,328 --> 04:47:08,363
in the nearby vicinity as well.

8386
04:47:08,363 --> 04:47:10,232
It's a missing middle

8387
04:47:10,232 --> 04:47:11,666
opportunity. Primarily

8388
04:47:11,666 --> 04:47:13,340
townhomes is what this would be

8389
04:47:13,340 --> 04:47:14,436
with some single family

8390
04:47:14,436 --> 04:47:15,904
sprinkled in. It's definitely a

8391
04:47:15,904 --> 04:47:18,173
product that's missing in the

8392
04:47:18,173 --> 04:47:19,541
area. As far as working with

8393
04:47:19,541 --> 04:47:20,575
the neighborhood, we've been in

8394
04:47:20,575 --> 04:47:21,743
communication and supported by

8395
04:47:21,743 --> 04:47:23,512
council member hancock

8396
04:47:23,512 --> 04:47:24,679
throughout the process.

8397
04:47:24,679 --> 04:47:25,946
Planning commission has of

8398
04:47:25,946 --> 04:47:27,449
course approved and brought us

8399
04:47:27,449 --> 04:47:28,984
to this point. The council

8400
04:47:28,984 --> 04:47:30,719
member did a great process%

8401
04:47:30,719 --> 04:47:32,554
going through her zoning.

8402
04:47:32,554 --> 04:47:34,623
Notice her very large email

8403
04:47:34,623 --> 04:47:35,824
list multiple times, actually,

8404
04:47:35,824 --> 04:47:37,626
in addition to, of course, all

8405
04:47:37,626 --> 04:47:38,693
the notices, we did a community

8406
04:47:38,693 --> 04:47:41,129
meeting over the winter at

8407
04:47:41,129 --> 04:47:43,733
yazoo brewing. And, we had some

8408
04:47:43,733 --> 04:47:44,966
neighbors had some good that kind of

8409
04:47:44,966 --> 04:47:46,535
stuff, made several changes to

8410
04:47:46,535 --> 04:47:47,636
the sp at that point. And then

8411
04:47:47,636 --> 04:47:49,437
even more recently, we've,

8412
04:47:49,437 --> 04:47:51,206
we've made a few more, along

8413
04:47:51,206 --> 04:47:52,541
the way. Having said that, I

8414
04:47:52,541 --> 04:47:54,476
just ask that you please

8415
04:47:54,476 --> 04:47:56,945
support this. Sp sp, the

8416
04:47:56,945 --> 04:47:58,780
planning staff has

8417
04:47:58,780 --> 04:48:00,248
recommended at this point,

8418
04:48:00,248 --> 04:48:02,510
we'll continue to listen to any

8419
04:48:02,510 --> 04:48:03,685
concerns, of course, but please

8420
04:48:03,685 --> 04:48:04,853
move this forward tonight so we

8421
04:48:04,853 --> 04:48:05,987
can get this needed housing in

8422
04:48:05,987 --> 04:48:08,890
madison. Thank you so much.

8423
04:48:08,890 --> 04:48:09,991
Thank you. Go ahead. You're

8424
04:48:09,991 --> 04:48:10,959
recognized.

8425
04:48:10,959 --> 04:48:12,194
Thank you, vice

8426
04:48:12,194 --> 04:48:13,228
mayor. Members of the council.

8427
04:48:13,228 --> 04:48:14,963
My name is michael garrigan.

8428
04:48:14,963 --> 04:48:17,980
I'm a civil engineer with dale

8429
04:48:17,980 --> 04:48:19,980
associates. 516 heather place.

8430
04:48:19,234 --> 04:48:22,270
Just briefly to add to what

8431
04:48:22,270 --> 04:48:24,670
anthony just discussed, there

8432
04:48:24,706 --> 04:48:26,174
are a couple sps a couple

8433
04:48:26,174 --> 04:48:28,677
hundred feet to the north that

8434
04:48:28,677 --> 04:48:30,445
are about 20 units per acre.

8435
04:48:30,445 --> 04:48:32,514
There's the large might drive

8436
04:48:32,514 --> 04:48:33,782
in anderson sp, one block to

8437
04:48:33,782 --> 04:48:35,817
the east. That's 20 units per

8438
04:48:35,817 --> 04:48:38,353
acre. What we're proposing is

8439
04:48:38,353 --> 04:48:40,889
15. So it's slightly less. We

8440
04:48:40,889 --> 04:48:42,457
have gone through several

8441
04:48:42,457 --> 04:48:45,193
iterations. There was a stream

8442
04:48:45,193 --> 04:48:46,228
on the site that, that we self

8443
04:48:46,228 --> 04:48:47,329
reported the neighborhood next

8444
04:48:47,329 --> 04:48:49,197
to us actually built right up

8445
04:48:49,197 --> 04:48:50,398
to it, but we've got it

8446
04:48:50,398 --> 04:48:52,367
buffered in a, in a open green,

8447
04:48:52,367 --> 04:48:54,269
natural green space. We've

8448
04:48:54,269 --> 04:48:56,304
grown the perimeter landscape

8449
04:48:56,304 --> 04:48:57,539
buffers as recently as this

8450
04:48:57,539 --> 04:48:59,641
afternoon when a neighbor asked

8451
04:48:59,641 --> 04:49:00,842
us to increase that and to

8452
04:49:00,842 --> 04:49:01,910
state that we would preserve

8453
04:49:01,910 --> 04:49:03,245
the trees, that would be

8454
04:49:03,245 --> 04:49:04,846
something that will have to be

8455
04:49:04,846 --> 04:49:05,981
included in an amendment. But

8456
04:49:05,981 --> 04:49:07,250
that's something that we agreed

8457
04:49:07,250 --> 04:49:08,550
to today. We've reduced the

8458
04:49:08,550 --> 04:49:10,452
density. We reduced the heights

8459
04:49:10,452 --> 04:49:12,200
from 3 to 2 stories for the

8460
04:49:12,200 --> 04:49:14,550
units along anderson lane so

8461
04:49:14,550 --> 04:49:15,790
that it blends in better with

8462
04:49:15,790 --> 04:49:17,192
the neighboring homes and even

8463
04:49:17,192 --> 04:49:19,270
shifted those setbacks back a

8464
04:49:19,270 --> 04:49:20,195
little bit. So we've made a lot

8465
04:49:20,195 --> 04:49:22,300
of concessions along the way.

8466
04:49:22,300 --> 04:49:23,999
One of the biggest ones I do

8467
04:49:23,999 --> 04:49:25,133
think is we've agreed to do a

8468
04:49:25,133 --> 04:49:27,200
traffic impact study or an mmta

8469
04:49:27,200 --> 04:49:29,805
as in dot calls it. There's a

8470
04:49:29,805 --> 04:49:30,872
lot of just under the threshold

8471
04:49:30,872 --> 04:49:33,740
developments in this area,

8472
04:49:33,740 --> 04:49:34,843
which this is as well.

8473
04:49:34,843 --> 04:49:37,145
Typically 80 units triggers the

8474
04:49:37,145 --> 04:49:38,814
requirement. This is 57, but

8475
04:49:38,814 --> 04:49:40,150
we've agreed to do that study

8476
04:49:40,150 --> 04:49:41,449
that will take into account

8477
04:49:41,449 --> 04:49:43,185
this development as well as all

8478
04:49:43,185 --> 04:49:45,353
the others in the surrounding

8479
04:49:45,353 --> 04:49:47,823
area, to help find a solution

8480
04:49:47,823 --> 04:49:49,291
to the traffic issue that

8481
04:49:49,291 --> 04:49:50,358
they're having at amboy

8482
04:49:50,358 --> 04:49:52,600
elementary, which is a couple

8483
04:49:52,600 --> 04:49:53,329
hundred feet to the west to

8484
04:49:53,329 --> 04:49:54,963
pick up drop off times. From

8485
04:49:54,963 --> 04:49:57,700
what I understand, it's, it's

8486
04:49:57,700 --> 04:49:59,801
pretty grueling. So excited

8487
04:49:59,801 --> 04:50:00,969
about that and excited to bring

8488
04:50:00,969 --> 04:50:03,400
this missing middle piece. And

8489
04:50:03,400 --> 04:50:03,271
thank you for your support.

8490
04:50:03,271 --> 04:50:05,271
All

8491
04:50:08,900 --> 04:50:08,410
right. Thank you. Go ahead.

8492
04:50:08,410 --> 04:50:10,111
I

8493
04:50:10,111 --> 04:50:11,279
really like this. Thank you for

8494
04:50:11,279 --> 04:50:13,480
getting it. Also, she has the

8495
04:50:13,480 --> 04:50:15,116
best community meeting location,

8496
04:50:15,116 --> 04:50:16,184
yazoo. Like you guys have the

8497
04:50:16,184 --> 04:50:17,486
best neighborhood up there. You

8498
04:50:17,486 --> 04:50:20,555
can get to yazoo easily. You

8499
04:50:20,555 --> 04:50:23,555
know, 500m from the 76, a

8500
04:50:23,859 --> 04:50:25,327
kilometer from the 55 or 56.

8501
04:50:25,327 --> 04:50:26,528
and the madison community

8502
04:50:26,528 --> 04:50:27,496
center is right there. It's a

8503
04:50:27,496 --> 04:50:28,730
wonderful neighborhood, and

8504
04:50:28,730 --> 04:50:29,698
this is right in the context.

8505
04:50:29,698 --> 04:50:30,632
Thank you so much.

8506
04:50:30,632 --> 04:50:31,766
All right.

8507
04:50:31,766 --> 04:50:32,934
Is there anyone else seeking to

8508
04:50:32,934 --> 04:50:35,334
be recognized in support?

8509
04:50:36,138 --> 04:50:37,572
Seeing none of those persons in

8510
04:50:37,572 --> 04:50:38,273
opposition who seek to be

8511
04:50:38,273 --> 04:50:40,108
recognized or speak and go

8512
04:50:40,108 --> 04:50:43,708
ahead and come on forward to

8513
04:50:44,450 --> 04:50:47,645
the podium, please come on down.

8514
04:50:48,316 --> 04:50:50,418
Thank you. You're recognized.

8515
04:50:50,418 --> 04:50:52,554
What's going on? My name is

8516
04:50:52,554 --> 04:50:55,457
harold. I live right next to to

8517
04:50:55,457 --> 04:50:57,759
the, property that's about to

8518
04:50:57,759 --> 04:50:58,760
be developed. I think they're

8519
04:50:58,760 --> 04:50:59,828
the developers are getting

8520
04:50:59,828 --> 04:51:02,828
really close to something. I

8521
04:51:03,532 --> 04:51:06,801
can be, in. I'm sorry. I'm

8522
04:51:06,801 --> 04:51:07,736
super tired. I think they're

8523
04:51:07,736 --> 04:51:09,304
getting really close to

8524
04:51:09,304 --> 04:51:10,472
something we approve here, but

8525
04:51:10,472 --> 04:51:12,107
they're just not there yet. I'm

8526
04:51:12,107 --> 04:51:15,430
really hoping we defer this

8527
04:51:15,430 --> 04:51:17,479
until we really have a, some

8528
04:51:17,479 --> 04:51:19,881
real, a couple more meetings

8529
04:51:19,881 --> 04:51:21,820
with my neighbors. Preferably

8530
04:51:21,820 --> 04:51:22,885
one that doesn't happen a

8531
04:51:22,885 --> 04:51:26,485
couple days after an ice storm

8532
04:51:26,988 --> 04:51:29,900
would be nice too. So, that's

8533
04:51:29,900 --> 04:51:29,191
it for me. I'm head out.

8534
04:51:29,191 --> 04:51:31,126
All

8535
04:51:31,126 --> 04:51:33,395
right. Next. Go ahead and come

8536
04:51:33,395 --> 04:51:33,695
on forward, please. You're

8537
04:51:33,695 --> 04:51:34,950
recognized.

8538
04:51:34,950 --> 04:51:34,763
Thank you, vice

8539
04:51:34,763 --> 04:51:35,664
chair. Thank you.

8540
04:51:35,664 --> 04:51:36,898
Metro council

8541
04:51:36,898 --> 04:51:38,733
members. My name is josh wagner.

8542
04:51:38,733 --> 04:51:39,768
I live on the cul de sac

8543
04:51:39,768 --> 04:51:41,236
immediately adjacent to this

8544
04:51:41,236 --> 04:51:43,380
proposed development. One of

8545
04:51:43,380 --> 04:51:44,172
the concerns that my, myself

8546
04:51:44,172 --> 04:51:46,408
and my neighbors have, of

8547
04:51:46,408 --> 04:51:47,776
course, is the traffic. So I

8548
04:51:47,776 --> 04:51:49,845
also vote with my neighbor.

8549
04:51:49,845 --> 04:51:52,447
Well, would ask for a deferral

8550
04:51:52,447 --> 04:51:53,915
of this proposal or this,

8551
04:51:53,915 --> 04:51:55,350
because we would like to see

8552
04:51:55,350 --> 04:51:58,286
and review some of that traffic

8553
04:51:58,286 --> 04:51:59,621
study. The pierce road does

8554
04:51:59,621 --> 04:52:02,123
become a one way street two

8555
04:52:02,123 --> 04:52:03,558
times a day, making in and out

8556
04:52:03,558 --> 04:52:05,958
traffic to our subdivision,

8557
04:52:06,428 --> 04:52:08,196
very arduous and timely and

8558
04:52:08,196 --> 04:52:10,765
time consuming. And then this

8559
04:52:10,765 --> 04:52:13,736
is going to be a much more

8560
04:52:13,736 --> 04:52:15,437
denser fabric of homes than

8561
04:52:15,437 --> 04:52:16,538
what is currently there in the

8562
04:52:16,538 --> 04:52:18,340
immediate adjacent neighborhood,

8563
04:52:18,340 --> 04:52:20,142
where you have one home on one

8564
04:52:20,142 --> 04:52:21,576
lot. We understand that

8565
04:52:21,576 --> 04:52:23,712
nashville needs more density.

8566
04:52:23,712 --> 04:52:25,580
We are not against density.

8567
04:52:25,580 --> 04:52:27,349
We're asking for smart

8568
04:52:27,349 --> 04:52:29,749
development and highest and

8569
04:52:30,218 --> 04:52:31,120
best not maximum use. So

8570
04:52:31,120 --> 04:52:31,887
thank you for your time.

8571
04:52:31,887 --> 04:52:33,887
Thank

8572
04:52:34,289 --> 04:52:36,689
you. Go ahead. You're

8573
04:52:42,464 --> 04:52:43,532
recognized.

8574
04:52:43,532 --> 04:52:45,532
Hello. Thank you

8575
04:52:45,667 --> 04:52:46,902
for accepting our time here. My

8576
04:52:46,902 --> 04:52:48,937
name is paul hebert and I live

8577
04:52:48,937 --> 04:52:50,605
at 509 anderson lane, which is

8578
04:52:50,605 --> 04:52:52,174
just next to this monstrosity

8579
04:52:52,174 --> 04:52:53,576
that they're wanting to put in

8580
04:52:53,576 --> 04:52:55,244
first. I have I had a whole

8581
04:52:55,244 --> 04:52:56,479
prepared thing I was going to

8582
04:52:56,479 --> 04:52:58,648
speak about, but I want to

8583
04:52:58,648 --> 04:53:00,483
recognize COUNCILWOMAN Sykes.

8584
04:53:00,483 --> 04:53:02,584
Your your comments tonight have

8585
04:53:02,584 --> 04:53:03,785
been on par. Everything that

8586
04:53:03,785 --> 04:53:05,587
the community is asking for,

8587
04:53:05,587 --> 04:53:06,888
you guys vote against you.

8588
04:53:06,888 --> 04:53:08,790
Don't listen to what we're

8589
04:53:08,790 --> 04:53:10,192
saying. And that's completely

8590
04:53:10,192 --> 04:53:11,393
wrong. We've had one meeting

8591
04:53:11,393 --> 04:53:13,195
and hear all these other ones

8592
04:53:13,195 --> 04:53:14,462
where they've had 4 or 5

8593
04:53:14,462 --> 04:53:15,564
meetings. We had one. It was at

8594
04:53:15,564 --> 04:53:17,365
yazoo brewing company where

8595
04:53:17,365 --> 04:53:19,334
many of us who are in recovery

8596
04:53:19,334 --> 04:53:21,236
asked for it not to be at. And

8597
04:53:21,236 --> 04:53:22,370
it was the week of the ice

8598
04:53:22,370 --> 04:53:24,172
storm. Like nobody could make

8599
04:53:24,172 --> 04:53:25,440
that. I spent a week getting

8600
04:53:25,440 --> 04:53:27,342
out of my house, but I wanted

8601
04:53:27,342 --> 04:53:29,177
to read you a quote says, we

8602
04:53:29,177 --> 04:53:30,812
are currently building a lot of

8603
04:53:30,812 --> 04:53:32,547
dense housing in madison. There

8604
04:53:32,547 --> 04:53:34,550
are very few trees left in this

8605
04:53:34,550 --> 04:53:37,118
area. Madison is one of three

8606
04:53:37,118 --> 04:53:38,989
hot zones in the entire county

8607
04:53:38,989 --> 04:53:40,322
where we don't have enough tree

8608
04:53:40,322 --> 04:53:41,457
coverage. We have a higher

8609
04:53:41,457 --> 04:53:43,259
asthma rate in nashville

8610
04:53:43,259 --> 04:53:45,260
seeking to add more trees

8611
04:53:45,260 --> 04:53:46,127
elsewhere. So we're going to

8612
04:53:46,127 --> 04:53:47,963
start extra densifying this

8613
04:53:47,963 --> 04:53:49,664
area by removing the trees,

8614
04:53:49,664 --> 04:53:50,832
we're going to be exacerbating

8615
04:53:50,832 --> 04:53:52,868
the health crisis. We already

8616
04:53:52,868 --> 04:53:54,202
have a madison in my community.

8617
04:53:54,202 --> 04:53:55,537
We don't need any more trouble

8618
04:53:55,537 --> 04:53:57,639
with our health crisis that we

8619
04:53:57,639 --> 04:53:59,141
have. We need to lower asthma

8620
04:53:59,141 --> 04:54:00,408
rates. We need to plant more

8621
04:54:00,408 --> 04:54:02,444
trees. We need to have good air

8622
04:54:02,444 --> 04:54:03,912
to breathe. We are building all

8623
04:54:03,912 --> 04:54:05,413
along the river gate mall area,

8624
04:54:05,413 --> 04:54:06,649
which I don't mind building

8625
04:54:06,649 --> 04:54:07,582
there, but why do we need to

8626
04:54:07,582 --> 04:54:08,450
bother the current

8627
04:54:08,450 --> 04:54:09,584
neighborhoods with the

8628
04:54:09,584 --> 04:54:11,686
established trees? I think they

8629
04:54:11,686 --> 04:54:14,860
should stay. That's from

8630
04:54:14,189 --> 04:54:16,189
COUNCILMAN Woman hancock.

8631
04:54:16,391 --> 04:54:18,293
Earlier in support of us number

8632
04:54:18,293 --> 04:54:19,928
nine and ten. Yet now she's

8633
04:54:19,928 --> 04:54:22,831
wanting to take our trees in

8634
04:54:22,831 --> 04:54:25,330
our community. Why the

8635
04:54:25,330 --> 04:54:27,936
hypocrisy? I ask that somebody

8636
04:54:27,936 --> 04:54:29,638
call a vote on the record by

8637
04:54:29,638 --> 04:54:30,807
roll call so we can see who is

8638
04:54:30,807 --> 04:54:32,741
opposed to this and who's in

8639
04:54:32,741 --> 04:54:34,543
favor of it. If we have to,

8640
04:54:34,543 --> 04:54:35,611
we'll take this to the chancery

8641
04:54:35,611 --> 04:54:36,745
court, and we'll file an

8642
04:54:36,745 --> 04:54:38,547
injunction to stop this until

8643
04:54:38,547 --> 04:54:39,648
this traffic study can be done

8644
04:54:39,648 --> 04:54:40,715
and seen before this is

8645
04:54:40,715 --> 04:54:42,652
approved. Thank you for your

8646
04:54:42,652 --> 04:54:43,919
time.

8647
04:54:43,919 --> 04:54:46,919
Is anyone else seeking to

8648
04:54:47,220 --> 04:54:48,457
be recognized in opposition?

8649
04:54:48,457 --> 04:54:49,959
Seeing none, I will declare the

8650
04:54:49,959 --> 04:54:52,959
public hearing closed. And it's

8651
04:54:53,461 --> 04:54:54,896
back to you, MISS Hancock. I

8652
04:54:54,896 --> 04:54:56,565
see you have an amendment

8653
04:54:56,565 --> 04:54:58,900
should you wish to offer it. If

8654
04:54:58,900 --> 04:55:00,670
you would just move the first

8655
04:55:00,670 --> 04:55:02,700
bill separately, and then you

8656
04:55:02,700 --> 04:55:05,700
can reconsolidate them at the

8657
04:55:05,474 --> 04:55:07,476
end for passage, if that's what

8658
04:55:07,476 --> 04:55:08,276
you choose to do at this time.

8659
04:55:08,276 --> 04:55:09,100
Go ahead, ma'am.

8660
04:55:09,100 --> 04:55:10,513
I'd like to

8661
04:55:10,513 --> 04:55:11,413
move the bill with a brief

8662
04:55:11,413 --> 04:55:13,413
comment.

8663
04:55:13,616 --> 04:55:14,416
Just 1479.

8664
04:55:14,416 --> 04:55:16,416
And then I

8665
04:55:16,551 --> 04:55:18,321
can do the amendment separately.

8666
04:55:18,321 --> 04:55:19,754
Correct?

8667
04:55:19,754 --> 04:55:21,323
Correct. If you move

8668
04:55:21,323 --> 04:55:22,557
1479, you got to move it by

8669
04:55:22,557 --> 04:55:24,359
itself so you can amend it, and

8670
04:55:24,359 --> 04:55:25,527
then you can reconsolidate it

8671
04:55:25,527 --> 04:55:25,694
for passage if you would like

8672
04:55:25,694 --> 04:55:26,628
to.

8673
04:55:26,628 --> 04:55:27,395
That's fantastic.

8674
04:55:27,395 --> 04:55:29,970
Okay, so

8675
04:55:29,970 --> 04:55:30,398
there's a motion to approve

8676
04:55:30,398 --> 04:55:32,330
1479. It's properly seconded.

8677
04:55:32,330 --> 04:55:33,101
Go ahead ma'am.

8678
04:55:33,101 --> 04:55:35,501
So first of all,

8679
04:55:35,570 --> 04:55:37,372
I would like to thank all three

8680
04:55:37,372 --> 04:55:39,241
community members that not only

8681
04:55:39,241 --> 04:55:41,343
came out, but stayed through

8682
04:55:41,343 --> 04:55:43,178
some very long public hearings.

8683
04:55:43,178 --> 04:55:44,614
And I know that it's not easy.

8684
04:55:44,614 --> 04:55:47,115
I've been doing it for seven

8685
04:55:47,115 --> 04:55:48,551
years, so I feel the pain. And,

8686
04:55:48,551 --> 04:55:50,352
thank you so much for your

8687
04:55:50,352 --> 04:55:52,752
dedication to the community.

8688
04:55:52,854 --> 04:55:55,423
And second of all, we do have

8689
04:55:55,423 --> 04:55:57,926
two meetings every month, and

8690
04:55:57,926 --> 04:56:00,950
one of them is a zoo brewing

8691
04:56:00,950 --> 04:56:02,230
company where I actually drink

8692
04:56:02,230 --> 04:56:04,766
the the water that's like the

8693
04:56:04,766 --> 04:56:06,269
brew water and not even any

8694
04:56:06,269 --> 04:56:08,370
beer in there for myself, but I

8695
04:56:08,370 --> 04:56:10,600
also have the meetings at

8696
04:56:10,600 --> 04:56:11,507
madtown coffee in the morning.

8697
04:56:11,507 --> 04:56:13,142
I don't know why they're always

8698
04:56:13,142 --> 04:56:15,577
beverage places if you don't

8699
04:56:15,577 --> 04:56:17,450
want caffeine. There's also

8700
04:56:17,450 --> 04:56:18,480
non-caffeinated tea and some

8701
04:56:18,480 --> 04:56:19,948
juices and things, but I would

8702
04:56:19,948 --> 04:56:20,170
love if you guys would come out.

8703
04:56:20,170 --> 04:56:21,650
-

8704
04:56:21,650 --> 04:56:24,319
we have another two meetings

8705
04:56:24,319 --> 04:56:27,319
planned next week on AUGUST

8706
04:56:27,823 --> 04:56:29,358
10th, 8 to 9 madtown coffee and

8707
04:56:29,358 --> 04:56:30,793
6 to 7 at yazoo brewing company,

8708
04:56:30,793 --> 04:56:33,262
where there's also grill, shack

8709
04:56:33,262 --> 04:56:34,664
burger and fries and sodas. And

8710
04:56:34,664 --> 04:56:36,798
they have some really cool

8711
04:56:36,798 --> 04:56:37,799
cherry coke and some nice root

8712
04:56:37,799 --> 04:56:39,702
beer in the jars, so they're

8713
04:56:39,702 --> 04:56:41,803
kind of fun. My son likes to

8714
04:56:41,803 --> 04:56:44,574
come out and and that's a great

8715
04:56:44,574 --> 04:56:47,176
family atmosphere. I do want to

8716
04:56:47,176 --> 04:56:49,576
talk about this particular

8717
04:56:49,711 --> 04:56:51,780
effort to provide some missing

8718
04:56:51,780 --> 04:56:53,584
middle housing. I am really

8719
04:56:53,584 --> 04:56:55,852
sensitive to the trees. And I

8720
04:56:55,852 --> 04:56:57,886
really do appreciate you using

8721
04:56:57,886 --> 04:56:59,387
my very own words to remind me

8722
04:56:59,387 --> 04:57:01,523
of the asthma in madison. I

8723
04:57:01,523 --> 04:57:04,590
have asthma myself, and one of

8724
04:57:04,590 --> 04:57:06,162
the things that we should do,

8725
04:57:06,162 --> 04:57:09,198
prior to that meeting is all

8726
04:57:09,198 --> 04:57:10,900
have michael and anthony, count

8727
04:57:10,900 --> 04:57:14,471
the number of trees that are

8728
04:57:14,471 --> 04:57:17,720
going to be, retained and the

8729
04:57:17,720 --> 04:57:18,240
area where the storm water is,

8730
04:57:18,240 --> 04:57:20,275
and also how many trees we're

8731
04:57:20,275 --> 04:57:22,430
going to be planting versus how

8732
04:57:22,430 --> 04:57:23,879
many trees are currently there.

8733
04:57:23,879 --> 04:57:24,914
And I'll commit to getting

8734
04:57:24,914 --> 04:57:27,490
nashville to come out and put

8735
04:57:27,490 --> 04:57:29,180
in twice as many trees as we're

8736
04:57:29,180 --> 04:57:30,152
losing in the areas around

8737
04:57:30,152 --> 04:57:32,530
there. I know that we already

8738
04:57:32,530 --> 04:57:33,189
have some planned at the ford

8739
04:57:33,189 --> 04:57:35,589
dealership on the gallatin

8740
04:57:35,657 --> 04:57:37,159
anderson road, but we can

8741
04:57:37,159 --> 04:57:38,660
definitely focus on making sure

8742
04:57:38,660 --> 04:57:40,731
that area has even more trees

8743
04:57:40,731 --> 04:57:42,498
than currently existing. As far

8744
04:57:42,498 --> 04:57:43,467
as the traffic study, we do

8745
04:57:43,467 --> 04:57:45,568
have an amendment that I'm

8746
04:57:45,568 --> 04:57:47,637
about to run that will require

8747
04:57:47,637 --> 04:57:48,704
a traffic study. Now, I

8748
04:57:48,704 --> 04:57:49,838
understand that the community

8749
04:57:49,838 --> 04:57:51,907
would love to have the traffic

8750
04:57:51,907 --> 04:57:53,376
study prior to this, but, the

8751
04:57:53,376 --> 04:57:55,243
nature of the beast of zoning

8752
04:57:55,243 --> 04:57:57,312
is that we can put a traffic

8753
04:57:57,312 --> 04:57:58,747
study into the sp and then once

8754
04:57:58,747 --> 04:58:00,482
the sp is approved, then the

8755
04:58:00,482 --> 04:58:02,500
traffic study has to be done

8756
04:58:02,500 --> 04:58:03,418
before anything can be built.

8757
04:58:03,418 --> 04:58:05,621
So we will get that traffic

8758
04:58:05,621 --> 04:58:07,423
study done and then make sure

8759
04:58:07,423 --> 04:58:09,592
that we know exactly what needs

8760
04:58:09,592 --> 04:58:10,992
to be done based on not only

8761
04:58:10,992 --> 04:58:12,395
this particular development,

8762
04:58:12,395 --> 04:58:13,864
which does not technically on

8763
04:58:13,864 --> 04:58:15,164
its own, qualify for traffic

8764
04:58:15,164 --> 04:58:17,834
study, because I think you have

8765
04:58:17,834 --> 04:58:19,703
to build 80 to have that. But

8766
04:58:19,703 --> 04:58:20,635
also the fact that we have

8767
04:58:20,635 --> 04:58:22,604
other developments that are

8768
04:58:22,604 --> 04:58:23,673
coming along. Can someone else

8769
04:58:23,673 --> 04:58:26,142
get in the queue and yield your

8770
04:58:26,142 --> 04:58:27,643
time to me? I'm almost done.

8771
04:58:27,643 --> 04:58:29,413
MISS. MISS Allen, do you seek

8772
04:58:29,413 --> 04:58:30,790
to yield your time? Go ahead,

8773
04:58:30,790 --> 04:58:31,547
MISS Hancock.

8774
04:58:31,547 --> 04:58:33,282
Thank you. So, in

8775
04:58:33,282 --> 04:58:34,850
addition to the traffic study.

8776
04:58:34,850 --> 04:58:36,152
I just probably lost my train

8777
04:58:36,152 --> 04:58:39,752
of thought. And where am I?

8778
04:58:40,823 --> 04:58:43,759
Right there. We are going to

8779
04:58:43,759 --> 04:58:45,528
consider another couple of

8780
04:58:45,528 --> 04:58:47,928
considerations in tree height

8781
04:58:48,798 --> 04:58:51,334
and, and buffering between the

8782
04:58:51,334 --> 04:58:53,102
new development and the streets

8783
04:58:53,102 --> 04:58:54,937
and server that are behind it.

8784
04:58:54,937 --> 04:58:56,339
And some suggestions from the

8785
04:58:56,339 --> 04:58:58,474
community came up. So we'll add

8786
04:58:58,474 --> 04:58:59,609
those into another amendment on

8787
04:58:59,609 --> 04:59:00,676
third. But for right now, I

8788
04:59:00,676 --> 04:59:02,545
would like to move the

8789
04:59:02,545 --> 04:59:03,914
amendment that I have today for

8790
04:59:03,914 --> 04:59:04,947
the traffic study.

8791
04:59:04,947 --> 04:59:06,450
There is a

8792
04:59:06,450 --> 04:59:09,318
motion to amend. Is there a

8793
04:59:09,318 --> 04:59:11,320
second? Okay. I believe you've

8794
04:59:11,320 --> 04:59:12,188
already described the amendment.

8795
04:59:12,188 --> 04:59:12,889
Is that correct?

8796
04:59:12,889 --> 04:59:13,623
That's correct.

8797
04:59:13,623 --> 04:59:15,623
Traffic study.

8798
04:59:15,758 --> 04:59:16,893
Got it. Okay. Is

8799
04:59:16,893 --> 04:59:19,762
there any discussion on the

8800
04:59:19,762 --> 04:59:21,164
motion to amend? Okay. Seeing

8801
04:59:21,164 --> 04:59:22,699
none. All in favor of the

8802
04:59:22,699 --> 04:59:25,500
amendment, please say aye. Any

8803
04:59:25,500 --> 04:59:26,569
voting no or abstaining. Okay.

8804
04:59:26,569 --> 04:59:29,806
So at this juncture, if you

8805
04:59:29,806 --> 04:59:33,406
would like to renew your motion

8806
04:59:34,844 --> 04:59:36,847
to approve 1479 as amended, and

8807
04:59:36,847 --> 04:59:39,248
1480, is that your desire there?

8808
04:59:39,248 --> 04:59:40,750
I would like to amend my motion.

8809
04:59:40,750 --> 04:59:42,585
You don't have to say it. You

8810
04:59:42,585 --> 04:59:44,220
can just say, yeah. Yes. Okay.

8811
04:59:44,220 --> 04:59:45,720
Is there a second? All right.

8812
04:59:45,720 --> 04:59:48,158
Okay. Is there any further

8813
04:59:48,158 --> 04:59:49,258
discussion on this bill as

8814
04:59:49,258 --> 04:59:50,393
amended?

8815
04:59:50,393 --> 04:59:52,793
One additional thing I

8816
04:59:52,861 --> 04:59:54,397
did want to say about the

8817
04:59:54,397 --> 04:59:55,798
particular area in the traffic

8818
04:59:55,798 --> 04:59:56,933
challenge is there are two

8819
04:59:56,933 --> 04:59:59,333
already approved speeds that

8820
05:00:00,436 --> 05:00:02,400
were approved, years ago on

8821
05:00:02,400 --> 05:00:03,640
shannon, which is on the corner

8822
05:00:03,640 --> 05:00:05,475
of shannon and pierce, and

8823
05:00:05,475 --> 05:00:06,909
that's going to enlarge that

8824
05:00:06,909 --> 05:00:09,909
street. So we're working with

8825
05:00:10,546 --> 05:00:12,715
mmpd and the traffic people at

8826
05:00:12,715 --> 05:00:14,950
elementary to try to get that

8827
05:00:14,950 --> 05:00:16,386
blockage of pierce to cease and

8828
05:00:16,386 --> 05:00:19,120
have it kind of wrap a little

8829
05:00:19,120 --> 05:00:20,456
bit to, do a little bit better

8830
05:00:20,456 --> 05:00:21,691
job of managing the traffic in

8831
05:00:21,691 --> 05:00:22,758
that neighborhood.

8832
05:00:22,758 --> 05:00:24,527
All right.

8833
05:00:24,527 --> 05:00:27,527
Is there any further discussion

8834
05:00:27,830 --> 05:00:30,330
on this motion to approve, as

8835
05:00:30,330 --> 05:00:30,199
amended on second reading?

8836
05:00:30,199 --> 05:00:31,534
And

8837
05:00:31,534 --> 05:00:33,269
we also want a roll call vote

8838
05:00:33,269 --> 05:00:34,670
due to the request from the

8839
05:00:34,670 --> 05:00:36,670
audience. Thank you.

8840
05:00:37,173 --> 05:00:38,307
Okay.

8841
05:00:38,307 --> 05:00:41,307
There were three people who

8842
05:00:45,820 --> 05:00:47,250
said okay, right. Okay. All

8843
05:00:47,250 --> 05:00:49,752
right, MR. Clerk, would you

8844
05:00:49,752 --> 05:00:52,752
please open the machine? There

8845
05:00:54,900 --> 05:00:57,690
is a roll call vote requested.

8846
05:00:58,394 --> 05:01:00,898
There is a motion to approve

8847
05:01:00,898 --> 05:01:02,698
1479, as amended, and 1480 in a

8848
05:01:02,698 --> 05:01:05,980
consolidated motion on second

8849
05:01:19,816 --> 05:01:21,816
of three readings.

8850
05:01:43,940 --> 05:01:45,940
MR. Bradford,

8851
05:01:47,409 --> 05:01:48,711

05:04:19,395 --> 05:04:21,831
Y'all go ahead. Welcome. Go

8921
05:04:21,831 --> 05:04:24,231

8922
05:04:24,700 --> 05:04:24,768
Oh, I'm sorry sir. Go ahead.

8923
05:04:24,768 --> 05:04:26,768
My

8924
05:04:27,603 --> 05:04:29,380
name is matt scott. I'm a

8925
05:04:29,380 --> 05:04:31,174
member of this great church

8926
05:04:31,174 --> 05:04:33,309
called mount olive missionary

8927
05:04:33,309 --> 05:04:35,709
baptist church. This church

8928
05:04:36,579 --> 05:04:38,979
moved from downtown nashville

8929
05:04:40,185 --> 05:04:41,617
to the location at 34 albion

8930
05:04:41,617 --> 05:04:44,170
street, right across from

8931
05:04:44,888 --> 05:04:47,288
tennessee state university. In

8932
05:04:47,758 --> 05:04:50,259
1955, I was a student there at

8933
05:04:50,259 --> 05:04:52,829
tennessee state, and I joined

8934
05:04:52,829 --> 05:04:56,660
this church as a washer member

8935
05:04:56,660 --> 05:04:58,301
and a young officer there at

8936
05:04:58,301 --> 05:05:00,701
the church. After returning

8937
05:05:01,405 --> 05:05:03,940
from graduation, I came back,

8938
05:05:03,940 --> 05:05:06,543
to the university and also came

8939
05:05:06,543 --> 05:05:09,646
back to my knowledge, and I was

8940
05:05:09,646 --> 05:05:13,246
made a official deacon for that

8941
05:05:13,417 --> 05:05:15,451
church in 1955. So I've been a

8942
05:05:15,451 --> 05:05:18,321
member of that church a long

8943
05:05:18,321 --> 05:05:20,357
time. So we want to we want to

8944
05:05:20,357 --> 05:05:22,358
get approval here. We met with

8945
05:05:22,358 --> 05:05:24,495
the commission and everything

8946
05:05:24,495 --> 05:05:26,930
have been approved to put a

8947
05:05:26,930 --> 05:05:28,798
landmark marker at the church.

8948
05:05:28,798 --> 05:05:32,200
And so that's why we are here

8949
05:05:32,200 --> 05:05:34,204
today to finish this particular

8950
05:05:34,204 --> 05:05:35,739
project for this great church.

8951
05:05:35,739 --> 05:05:38,475
and we want everybody to stand

8952
05:05:38,475 --> 05:05:40,644
who are representing my

8953
05:05:40,644 --> 05:05:41,611
knowledge today.

8954
05:05:41,611 --> 05:05:42,845
Thank you all

8955
05:05:42,845 --> 05:05:45,414
for coming out. I know it's

8956
05:05:45,414 --> 05:05:46,782
been a long night. Okay. Is

8957
05:05:46,782 --> 05:05:49,782
anyone else seeking to be

8958
05:05:50,786 --> 05:05:51,454
recognized in support? Go ahead

8959
05:05:51,454 --> 05:05:53,222
sir.

8960
05:05:53,222 --> 05:05:55,791
How y'all doing? How y'all

8961
05:05:55,791 --> 05:05:57,593
doing? It is just an honor to

8962
05:05:57,593 --> 05:06:00,593
be standing here before y'all.

8963
05:06:00,596 --> 05:06:03,596
I'm a retired disabled veteran

8964
05:06:04,660 --> 05:06:06,235
of the united states army, and

8965
05:06:06,235 --> 05:06:08,772
I was raised in church as a

8966
05:06:08,772 --> 05:06:10,240
child. So when I came home, GOD

8967
05:06:10,240 --> 05:06:13,240
blessed me with a beautiful

8968
05:06:13,743 --> 05:06:15,945
wife. And as a man of GOD, you

8969
05:06:15,945 --> 05:06:18,447
have to lead by example. So I

8970
05:06:18,447 --> 05:06:21,317
got a new church home. I'm a

8971
05:06:21,317 --> 05:06:23,920
deacon, and I just let me know

8972
05:06:23,920 --> 05:06:27,890
GOD is able to do all things.

8973
05:06:27,890 --> 05:06:30,359
So if y'all would just honor us

8974
05:06:30,359 --> 05:06:31,994
with getting us this approved

8975
05:06:31,994 --> 05:06:33,896
so we can move on and continue

8976
05:06:33,896 --> 05:06:35,832
to do the lord's work, I'd

8977
05:06:35,832 --> 05:06:36,650
appreciate it. Thank you.

8978
05:06:36,650 --> 05:06:38,650
All

8979
05:06:38,701 --> 05:06:41,938
right. Thank you so much. The

8980
05:06:41,938 --> 05:06:44,373
other gentleman seek to speak.

8981
05:06:44,373 --> 05:06:46,108
Go ahead sir. You're recognized.

8982
05:06:46,108 --> 05:06:49,708
Thank you. My name is christian

8983
05:06:50,112 --> 05:06:52,249
patton, and this is deeply

8984
05:06:52,249 --> 05:06:53,716
personal for me. So my great

8985
05:06:53,716 --> 05:06:55,151
grandfather, reverendjohn

8986
05:06:55,151 --> 05:06:57,353
thomas patton, he served as

8987
05:06:57,353 --> 05:06:59,188
pastor at mount olive church.

8988
05:06:59,188 --> 05:07:00,623
And before that, he was

8989
05:07:00,623 --> 05:07:02,191
actually the PRESIDENT Of

8990
05:07:02,191 --> 05:07:04,894
nashville naacp. So there's a

8991
05:07:04,894 --> 05:07:08,494
lot of history there. His life

8992
05:07:08,498 --> 05:07:09,765
was dedicated to faith, service,

8993
05:07:09,765 --> 05:07:11,701
leadership, and the betterment

8994
05:07:11,701 --> 05:07:13,836
of the community. Because of

8995
05:07:13,836 --> 05:07:15,671
him, this church has been woven

8996
05:07:15,671 --> 05:07:17,206
into my family's story for

8997
05:07:17,206 --> 05:07:19,275
generations. But this isn't

8998
05:07:19,275 --> 05:07:22,275
just about my family's story.

8999
05:07:22,512 --> 05:07:24,912
This is nashville's history,

9000
05:07:25,810 --> 05:07:26,282
right. Mount olive is a

9001
05:07:26,282 --> 05:07:27,885
historic church that stands in

9002
05:07:27,885 --> 05:07:30,885
the heart of historic jefferson

9003
05:07:31,254 --> 05:07:33,456
street neighborhood, which has

9004
05:07:33,456 --> 05:07:34,892
a rich and beautiful history.

9005
05:07:34,892 --> 05:07:36,626
For well over a century, this

9006
05:07:36,626 --> 05:07:37,627
church has been a place where

9007
05:07:37,627 --> 05:07:39,796
families have gathered to

9008
05:07:39,796 --> 05:07:41,796
worship, celebrate, grieve,

9009
05:07:42,331 --> 05:07:44,101
grow, and support one another.

9010
05:07:44,101 --> 05:07:47,101
Many of those families still

9011
05:07:47,770 --> 05:07:48,871
attend this church, and new

9012
05:07:48,871 --> 05:07:51,400
generations continue to walk

9013
05:07:51,400 --> 05:07:52,809
through our doors. That's what

9014
05:07:52,809 --> 05:07:54,410
makes mount olive so special,

9015
05:07:54,410 --> 05:07:56,450
and it's just not preserving

9016
05:07:56,450 --> 05:07:57,747
its history. But it's

9017
05:07:57,747 --> 05:08:00,147
continuing, continuing to make

9018
05:08:00,349 --> 05:08:02,151
history. This church has also

9019
05:08:02,151 --> 05:08:03,954
been home to remarkable leaders

9020
05:08:03,954 --> 05:08:06,823
whose impact reached far beyond

9021
05:08:06,823 --> 05:08:07,957
its walls, like reverend henry

9022
05:08:07,957 --> 05:08:10,920
boyd, which some of you might

9023
05:08:10,920 --> 05:08:11,460
know that last name. He was the

9024
05:08:11,460 --> 05:08:13,362
founder of the national baptst

9025
05:08:13,362 --> 05:08:15,970
publishing board and citizens

9026
05:08:15,970 --> 05:08:16,599
savings bank and trust company,

9027
05:08:16,599 --> 05:08:17,667
helping create opportunities to

9028
05:08:17,667 --> 05:08:19,667
strengthen nashville's black

9029
05:08:19,769 --> 05:08:21,270
community for generations,

9030
05:08:21,270 --> 05:08:22,973
leaders like reverend boyd and

9031
05:08:22,973 --> 05:08:24,407
my great grandfather remind us

9032
05:08:24,407 --> 05:08:26,610
that mount olive has never

9033
05:08:26,610 --> 05:08:28,780
simply just been a church. It

9034
05:08:28,780 --> 05:08:29,846
has been a place where faith

9035
05:08:29,846 --> 05:08:31,581
inspired leadership, where

9036
05:08:31,581 --> 05:08:33,416
service transformed lives and

9037
05:08:33,416 --> 05:08:35,585
where hope becomes became

9038
05:08:35,585 --> 05:08:37,985
action. And this church

9039
05:08:38,888 --> 05:08:40,389
continues to be that place. So

9040
05:08:40,389 --> 05:08:42,124
this means a lot. Again, I want

9041
05:08:42,124 --> 05:08:44,600
to thank each and every one of

9042
05:08:44,600 --> 05:08:45,261
you for giving us the time to

9043
05:08:45,261 --> 05:08:45,995
come up here and represent our

9044
05:08:45,995 --> 05:08:46,195
church.

9045
05:08:46,195 --> 05:08:47,960
Thank you.

9046
05:08:47,960 --> 05:08:48,998
Thank you

9047
05:08:48,998 --> 05:08:50,100
all very much for coming out.

9048
05:08:50,100 --> 05:08:51,968
We appreciate you and know you

9049
05:08:51,968 --> 05:08:53,135
had to be very patient this

9050
05:08:53,135 --> 05:08:54,203
evening. Thank you for sharing

9051
05:08:54,203 --> 05:08:55,938
that with us. Seeing no one

9052
05:08:55,938 --> 05:08:57,273
else seeking to be recognized

9053
05:08:57,273 --> 05:08:59,142
in support, I will declare the

9054
05:08:59,142 --> 05:09:00,409
public hearing closed. And it's

9055
05:09:00,409 --> 05:09:01,511
back to you, COUNCILMAN Taylor,

9056
05:09:01,511 --> 05:09:02,211
for a motion.

9057
05:09:02,211 --> 05:09:03,679
Thank you. I

9058
05:09:03,679 --> 05:09:06,617
would like to move for approval

9059
05:09:06,617 --> 05:09:07,316
of both item 33 and 34 with a

9060
05:09:07,316 --> 05:09:08,510
brief comment.

9061
05:09:08,510 --> 05:09:08,719
All right. Go

9062
05:09:08,719 --> 05:09:09,785
ahead, sir.

9063
05:09:09,785 --> 05:09:11,254
All right. Brother

9064
05:09:11,254 --> 05:09:13,790
christian stole all of my

9065
05:09:13,790 --> 05:09:14,123
thunder, so I'm not going to

9066
05:09:14,123 --> 05:09:15,725
say much.

9067
05:09:15,725 --> 05:09:15,798
Did a good job.

9068
05:09:15,798 --> 05:09:16,692
He

9069
05:09:16,692 --> 05:09:17,260
did an.

9070
05:09:17,260 --> 05:09:19,260
Amazing.

9071
05:09:19,162 --> 05:09:21,970
Amazing job.

9072
05:09:21,970 --> 05:09:22,765
Just really quickly just the

9073
05:09:22,765 --> 05:09:24,967
historic nature of this area.

9074
05:09:24,967 --> 05:09:27,236
It's called college hill. One

9075
05:09:27,236 --> 05:09:28,905
of the first neighborhoods that

9076
05:09:28,905 --> 05:09:29,939

9077
05:09:29,939 --> 05:09:32,939

05:09:34,710 --> 05:09:36,145

now called mckissick and

9081
05:09:38,247 --> 05:09:39,348
mckissick. Not sure if you ever

9082
05:09:39,348 --> 05:09:41,217
heard of them, but if you

9083
05:09:41,217 --> 05:09:42,351
haven't, I'm not going to tell

9084
05:09:42,351 --> 05:09:43,452
you about them because I'm

9085
05:09:43,452 --> 05:09:45,354
actually look it up because I

9086
05:09:45,354 --> 05:09:47,223
got to go fast because we're

9087
05:09:47,223 --> 05:09:48,324
here very late. But this is a

9088
05:09:48,324 --> 05:09:49,492
great opportunity for us. This

9089
05:09:49,492 --> 05:09:50,493
has been many conversations

9090
05:09:50,493 --> 05:09:53,493
about this neighborhood in this

9091
05:09:54,864 --> 05:09:56,333
area, to preserve history. They

9092
05:09:56,333 --> 05:09:58,670
just shared vibrant history. We

9093
05:09:58,670 --> 05:09:59,680
have history in the room

9094
05:09:59,680 --> 05:10:01,300
tonight. I'm a deacon of a

9095
05:10:01,300 --> 05:10:02,939
church since 1955 in the same

9096
05:10:02,939 --> 05:10:04,942
area. And so we want to put a

9097
05:10:04,942 --> 05:10:07,430
landmark overlay. We'll also be

9098
05:10:07,430 --> 05:10:08,811
having, we'll have a historical

9099
05:10:08,811 --> 05:10:11,470

9100
05:10:11,470 --> 05:10:12,415

9101
05:10:12,415 --> 05:10:13,617
there's a number of things that

9102
05:10:13,617 --> 05:10:16,850
we're doing to preserve this

9103
05:10:16,850 --> 05:10:18,621
and this is hopefully just a

9104
05:10:18,621 --> 05:10:20,723
start of preservation in this

9105
05:10:20,723 --> 05:10:22,158

9106
05:10:22,158 --> 05:10:24,558

9258
05:15:19,890 --> 05:15:21,391

9259
05:15:21,391 --> 05:15:22,492
members of the public here in

05:15:22,492 --> 05:15:24,660

raise your hand? Seeing no one

9262
05:15:26,329 --> 05:15:27,498
here on either side, I will

9263
05:15:27,498 --> 05:15:28,331
declare the public hearing

9264
05:15:28,331 --> 05:15:29,399
closed. Back to you, MR.

9265
05:15:29,399 --> 05:15:30,166
Eastwood, for a motion.

9266
05:15:30,166 --> 05:15:31,401
Thank

9267
05:15:31,401 --> 05:15:32,569
you. I'd like to move for

9268
05:15:32,569 --> 05:15:34,271
approval with a short comment

9269
05:15:34,271 --> 05:15:34,605
from aaron evans. Okay.

9270
05:15:34,605 --> 05:15:35,606
COUNCILMAN,

9271
05:15:35,606 --> 05:15:37,540
is there a second

9272
05:15:37,540 --> 05:15:40,444
on the motion to approve? All

9273
05:15:40,444 --> 05:15:40,744
right, MISS Evans, you are

9274
05:15:40,744 --> 05:15:41,577
recognized.

9275
05:15:41,577 --> 05:15:43,346
Thank you. Council

9276
05:15:43,346 --> 05:15:44,680
member eslick, I appreciate the

9277
05:15:44,680 --> 05:15:47,800
support of this legislation.

9278
05:15:47,618 --> 05:15:48,751
This is a bird sanctuary

9279
05:15:48,751 --> 05:15:49,786
property, and they are

9280
05:15:49,786 --> 05:15:51,255
preparing for the future

9281
05:15:51,255 --> 05:15:52,956
because, of course, like exotic

9282
05:15:52,956 --> 05:15:54,490
birds, like parrots and macaws

9283
05:15:54,490 --> 05:15:56,292
and cockatiels and all of them,

9284
05:15:56,292 --> 05:15:58,829
they all live to be very long,

9285
05:15:58,829 --> 05:16:00,290
you know, age, like tortoises.

9286
05:16:00,290 --> 05:16:01,165
And so anyway, this is part of

9287
05:16:01,165 --> 05:16:02,990
that preparation. So I

9288
05:16:02,990 --> 05:16:04,990
appreciate council member

9289
05:16:04,502 --> 05:16:05,636
eslick for helping move this

9290
05:16:05,636 --> 05:16:07,504
project forward, since it was

9291
05:16:07,504 --> 05:16:09,239
in my district last term and

9292
05:16:09,239 --> 05:16:10,340
then transitioned to district

9293
05:16:10,340 --> 05:16:11,809
11.

9294
05:16:11,809 --> 05:16:13,310
Did any of these birds get

9295
05:16:13,310 --> 05:16:14,678
loose in your district and you

9296
05:16:14,678 --> 05:16:15,345
had to. Search down at.

9297
05:16:15,345 --> 05:16:16,412
Any

9298
05:16:16,412 --> 05:16:17,514
pictures of me holding the

9299
05:16:17,514 --> 05:16:19,316
birds and stuff? And council

9300
05:16:19,316 --> 05:16:21,384
member eslick has not been yet,

9301
05:16:21,384 --> 05:16:22,352
but I'm. I can't wait to have a

9302
05:16:22,352 --> 05:16:24,752
bird picture with council

9303
05:16:25,823 --> 05:16:26,156
member eslick for my, you know,

9304
05:16:26,156 --> 05:16:27,423
memories.

9305
05:16:27,423 --> 05:16:29,125
Okay, I'm thinking we

9306
05:16:29,125 --> 05:16:31,194
MAY want to get a group picture

9307
05:16:31,194 --> 05:16:32,162
there. Alrighty. So we have a

9308
05:16:32,162 --> 05:16:33,960
motion to approve. It's

9309
05:16:33,960 --> 05:16:34,464
properly seconded. You've heard

9310
05:16:34,464 --> 05:16:35,299
a little bit more about this

9311
05:16:35,299 --> 05:16:37,340
legislation. Is there any

9312
05:16:37,340 --> 05:16:39,102
further discussion? Seeing none.

9313
05:16:39,102 --> 05:16:40,871
All in favor, please say aye.

9314
05:16:40,871 --> 05:16:43,373
Any voting no or abstaining.

9315
05:16:43,373 --> 05:16:45,876
Okay. That has passed its

9316
05:16:45,876 --> 05:16:48,412
second reading. And now this is

9317
05:16:48,412 --> 05:16:50,247
our last bill on, well, our

9318
05:16:50,247 --> 05:16:51,415
last bill on public hearing, on

9319
05:16:51,415 --> 05:16:53,317
second reading. And then we're

9320
05:16:53,317 --> 05:16:54,485
going to have one more bill on

9321
05:16:54,485 --> 05:16:57,120

9322
05:16:57,120 --> 05:17:00,120

9349
05:17:39,229 --> 05:17:40,197
I move for

9350
05:17:40,197 --> 05:17:41,165

9351
05:17:41,165 --> 05:17:42,166
okay. Go

9353
05:17:43,233 --> 05:17:44,134
I'd like to move

about the amendment?

9360
05:17:50,207 --> 05:17:51,241
It

9361
05:17:51,241 --> 05:17:52,309
corrects additional errors we

9362
05:17:52,309 --> 05:17:52,609
identified in the land use

9363
05:17:52,609 --> 05:17:54,178

9364
05:17:54,178 --> 05:17:55,813
Okay. Any discussion on

9365
05:17:55,813 --> 05:17:56,880

05:18:02,986 --> 05:18:04,154
motion.

9371
05:18:04,154 --> 05:18:04,721
To move for approval,

05:18:04,721 --> 05:18:05,656

05:19:06,950 --> 05:19:08,652
request open the public hearing.

9405
05:19:08,652 --> 05:19:10,220
All right. I declare the public

05:19:10,220 --> 05:19:13,220

9407
05:19:13,757 --> 05:19:15,259

Okay. Would all members here in

9412
05:19:22,333 --> 05:19:24,670

9413
05:19:24,670 --> 05:19:25,369
here in support of the person

9414
05:19:25,369 --> 05:19:27,271
in opposition is very welcome

9415
05:19:27,271 --> 05:19:28,138
to go ahead and speak. Go ahead,

9416
05:19:28,138 --> 05:19:30,400
MR. Ryder.

9417
05:19:30,400 --> 05:19:31,375
MADAM Chair, I think

9418
05:19:31,375 --> 05:19:34,375
it's a little unfortunate that

9419
05:19:34,611 --> 05:19:36,413
we have six amendment items in

9420
05:19:36,413 --> 05:19:38,315
one consolidated bill. That's

9421
05:19:38,315 --> 05:19:40,484
pretty hard to address in two

9422
05:19:40,484 --> 05:19:42,587
minutes, really. I mean, I just

9423
05:19:42,587 --> 05:19:44,388
don't get that. Also, this has

9424
05:19:44,388 --> 05:19:47,988
been referred to the budget and

9425
05:19:48,325 --> 05:19:50,227
finance and planning committee,

9426
05:19:50,227 --> 05:19:52,963
what this body really needs is

9427
05:19:52,963 --> 05:19:54,231
a housing committee, because

9428
05:19:54,231 --> 05:19:56,601
anything that I address to you,

9429
05:19:56,601 --> 05:19:58,102
I don't think many people here

9430
05:19:58,102 --> 05:19:59,803
understand the redevelopment

9431
05:19:59,803 --> 05:20:01,872
districts and how they really

9432
05:20:01,872 --> 05:20:04,875
operate. I go to mdh meetings

9433
05:20:04,875 --> 05:20:06,176
on a regular basis, but this we

9434
05:20:06,176 --> 05:20:07,878
need to have a housing

9435
05:20:07,878 --> 05:20:11,810
committee so that I can address

9436
05:20:11,810 --> 05:20:12,483
my concerns to a body that

9437
05:20:12,483 --> 05:20:15,452
understands what I am even

9438
05:20:15,452 --> 05:20:17,855
talking about. So I know this

9439
05:20:17,855 --> 05:20:20,570
is going to pass, but my

9440
05:20:20,570 --> 05:20:21,525
request is to this body. We

9441
05:20:21,525 --> 05:20:23,660
need to have a housing

9442
05:20:23,660 --> 05:20:25,620
committee. I there were so many

9443
05:20:25,620 --> 05:20:26,797
people here tonight that talked

9444
05:20:26,797 --> 05:20:29,797
about a housing crisis, an

9445
05:20:30,100 --> 05:20:32,269
affordable housing crisis. It's

9446
05:20:32,269 --> 05:20:34,669
inexcusable for the metro

9447
05:20:34,771 --> 05:20:37,641
council to not have a housing

9448
05:20:37,641 --> 05:20:39,243
committee. We need one

9449
05:20:39,243 --> 05:20:40,712
desperately because the budget

9450
05:20:40,712 --> 05:20:41,979
and finance committee, with all

9451
05:20:41,979 --> 05:20:44,379
due them and the%

9452
05:20:45,649 --> 05:20:47,784
planning and zoning, you do not

9453
05:20:47,784 --> 05:20:49,887
understand how mdha operates

9454
05:20:49,887 --> 05:20:50,954
and federal policies and

9455
05:20:50,954 --> 05:20:52,756
regulations. Thank you very

9456
05:20:52,756 --> 05:20:54,558
much.

9457
05:20:54,558 --> 05:20:56,727
Thank you. Is anyone else

9458
05:20:56,727 --> 05:20:59,630
seeking to be recognized in

9459
05:20:59,630 --> 05:21:01,980
opposition? Seeing none, I will

9460
05:21:01,980 --> 05:21:03,100
declare the public hearing

9461
05:21:03,100 --> 05:21:04,368
closed and it's back to you,

9462
05:21:04,368 --> 05:21:05,169
MISS Tombs, for a motion on

9463
05:21:05,169 --> 05:21:06,770
your bill.

9464
05:21:06,770 --> 05:21:08,770
Move for approval.

9465
05:21:08,906 --> 05:21:10,474
Okay. It's properly moved and

9466
05:21:10,474 --> 05:21:11,975
seconded. Now we're on to

9467
05:21:11,975 --> 05:21:13,644
discussion. Council member

9468
05:21:13,644 --> 05:21:15,780
allen, you are recognized.

9469
05:21:15,780 --> 05:21:16,413
Thank you, MADAM Chair. I'd

9470
05:21:16,413 --> 05:21:18,649
like to take responsibility.

9471
05:21:18,649 --> 05:21:21,585
For that. Six amendments and

9472
05:21:21,585 --> 05:21:23,788
move amendment one, please.

9473
05:21:23,788 --> 05:21:24,755
Okay. Our guests proposed

9474
05:21:24,755 --> 05:21:25,923
amendment. We already have

9475
05:21:25,923 --> 05:21:27,392
amendment number one on the

9476
05:21:27,392 --> 05:21:30,561
bill earlier. Yes. And so this

9477
05:21:30,561 --> 05:21:32,362
is the allen proposed amendment.

9478
05:21:32,362 --> 05:21:33,764
It's properly seconded. Is

9479
05:21:33,764 --> 05:21:34,698
there anything that you want to

9480
05:21:34,698 --> 05:21:35,265
share about explanation

9481
05:21:35,265 --> 05:21:36,333
amendment.

9482
05:21:36,333 --> 05:21:38,235
Yes. So this

9483
05:21:38,235 --> 05:21:39,736
actually is fixing a problem

9484
05:21:39,736 --> 05:21:42,105
that I created and I'll

9485
05:21:42,105 --> 05:21:44,275
apologize for mdhas board

9486
05:21:44,275 --> 05:21:47,110
has already approved this. I

9487
05:21:47,110 --> 05:21:48,545
still want to add, a

9488
05:21:48,545 --> 05:21:50,545
notification requirement that

9489
05:21:51,215 --> 05:21:54,815
mdha has the ability to change

9490
05:21:56,119 --> 05:21:59,119
the 75%, payment on the tiff.

9491
05:22:00,570 --> 05:22:02,457
My previous, legislation that

9492
05:22:03,260 --> 05:22:05,229
was passed earlier, if their

9493
05:22:05,229 --> 05:22:06,263
board has a written policy

9494
05:22:06,263 --> 05:22:08,398
stating why they would make

9495
05:22:08,398 --> 05:22:09,534
that change. And I made an

9496
05:22:09,534 --> 05:22:11,402
amendment at the last, the last

9497
05:22:11,402 --> 05:22:12,703
time this came in front of us

9498
05:22:12,703 --> 05:22:14,471
requiring written notification

9499
05:22:14,471 --> 05:22:15,506
if they made that change

9500
05:22:15,506 --> 05:22:17,308
doesn't give us the ability to

9501
05:22:17,308 --> 05:22:18,442
approve their change. It just

9502
05:22:18,442 --> 05:22:21,378
ensures that we realize that

9503
05:22:21,378 --> 05:22:23,113
that happens, as it turns out,

9504
05:22:23,113 --> 05:22:25,513
because they have already

9505
05:22:27,117 --> 05:22:29,153
approved this, those amendments,

9506
05:22:29,153 --> 05:22:30,687
it creates a problem if we make

9507
05:22:30,687 --> 05:22:32,689
any changes to that. And so my

9508
05:22:32,689 --> 05:22:34,324
amendment reverses the language

9509
05:22:34,324 --> 05:22:35,392
that requires that written

9510
05:22:35,392 --> 05:22:37,361
notification. I can handle that

9511
05:22:37,361 --> 05:22:39,263
in section two of the code. And

9512
05:22:39,263 --> 05:22:41,265
I intend to work with m, d, h

9513
05:22:41,265 --> 05:22:42,499
and go back and do it that way,

9514
05:22:42,499 --> 05:22:44,334
because I do think the council

9515
05:22:44,334 --> 05:22:45,269
needs to be aware if they

9516
05:22:45,269 --> 05:22:45,402
change that 75% payment.

9517
05:22:45,402 --> 05:22:47,337
Okay.

9518
05:22:47,337 --> 05:22:48,338
So with that, I move my

9519
05:22:48,338 --> 05:22:49,339
amendment, which will

9520
05:22:49,339 --> 05:22:51,508
essentially put it back to

9521
05:22:51,508 --> 05:22:53,443
exactly what the md, a board

9522
05:22:53,443 --> 05:22:55,780
approved. And that then that

9523
05:22:55,780 --> 05:22:55,979
keeps us from having to send it

9524
05:22:55,979 --> 05:22:57,649
back to them.

9525
05:22:57,649 --> 05:22:59,649
All right. You

9526
05:23:01,252 --> 05:23:03,420
have heard explanation of the

9527
05:23:03,420 --> 05:23:04,822
amendment. There is a motion to

9528
05:23:04,822 --> 05:23:05,889
amend and it's properly

9529
05:23:05,889 --> 05:23:07,758
seconded. Is there any

9530
05:23:07,758 --> 05:23:09,993
discussion specifically on this

9531
05:23:09,993 --> 05:23:11,829
amendment? Okay. Seeing none.

9532
05:23:11,829 --> 05:23:13,564
All in favor of the amendment,

9533
05:23:13,564 --> 05:23:16,660
please say aye. Any voting no

9534
05:23:16,660 --> 05:23:17,835
or abstaining. Okay. MISS Tombs,

9535
05:23:17,835 --> 05:23:21,435
do you seek to renew your

9536
05:23:22,105 --> 05:23:23,941
motion to approve, as amended?

9537
05:23:23,941 --> 05:23:26,941
Move for approval, as amended?

9538
05:23:27,244 --> 05:23:30,447
Okay. All right. Is there any

9539
05:23:30,447 --> 05:23:33,160
discussion on the motion to

9540
05:23:33,160 --> 05:23:36,616
approve this on its third and

9541
05:23:36,920 --> 05:23:38,655
final reading, as amended?

9542
05:23:38,655 --> 05:23:41,625
Seeing none. All in favor,

9543
05:23:41,625 --> 05:23:44,863
please say aye. Any voting no.

9544
05:23:44,863 --> 05:23:45,896
Any abstaining? Okay. This has

9545
05:23:45,896 --> 05:23:48,432
passed its third and final

9546
05:23:48,432 --> 05:23:51,432
reading, as amended. And that

9547
05:23:51,702 --> 05:23:54,702
concludes, all of our public

9548
05:23:56,390 --> 05:23:59,543
hearings. And next, we have our

9549
05:23:59,543 --> 05:24:01,943
consolidated consent agenda at

9550
05:24:07,918 --> 05:24:09,786

anyone needs we're not going to

9555
05:24:17,327 --> 05:24:18,962
adjourn or take a recess or. No,

9556
05:24:18,962 --> 05:24:20,397
I didn't mean that word should

9557
05:24:20,397 --> 05:24:22,366
come out of my mouth. We are

9558
05:24:22,366 --> 05:24:24,801
not going to take a recess. But

9559
05:24:24,801 --> 05:24:28,401
if there is anybody who needs

9560
05:24:29,106 --> 05:24:32,706
to, take a personal break, feel

9561
05:24:33,944 --> 05:24:36,346
free. And please let us know if

9562
05:24:36,346 --> 05:24:39,616
that's needed by any member of

9563
05:24:39,616 --> 05:24:42,616
staff or supporting staff. Okay.

unanimously by all committees

9571
05:24:52,496 --> 05:24:53,597

9572

Back to you, MR. Hoffman, for a

9812
05:36:28,693 --> 05:36:30,128
motion.

9813
05:36:30,128 --> 05:36:31,596
Thank you, vice mayor.

9814
05:36:31,596 --> 05:36:32,397
Move for approval with a brief

9815
05:36:32,397 --> 05:36:34,980
comment.

9816
05:36:34,980 --> 05:36:35,600
Okay. Go ahead sir.

9817
05:36:35,600 --> 05:36:37,168
Thank you colleagues, I'll try

9818
05:36:37,168 --> 05:36:38,269
to keep this as short as

9819
05:36:38,269 --> 05:36:40,538
possible with giving you as

9820
05:36:40,538 --> 05:36:42,340
much details as possible. The

9821
05:36:42,340 --> 05:36:44,876
intention of this resolution is

9822
05:36:44,876 --> 05:36:47,276
to address a compensation

9823
05:36:47,412 --> 05:36:49,948
structure that really no longer

9824
05:36:49,948 --> 05:36:51,382
reflects the sheriff's role.

9825
05:36:51,382 --> 05:36:53,518
Today, the sheriff has a

9826
05:36:53,518 --> 05:36:55,353
department has roughly 1400

9827
05:36:55,353 --> 05:36:58,189
employees. He manages a budget

9828
05:36:58,189 --> 05:37:00,189
of roughly $150 million.

9829
05:37:01,793 --> 05:37:04,729
However, he and the department

9830
05:37:04,729 --> 05:37:07,565
have gone above and beyond in a

9831
05:37:07,565 --> 05:37:10,680
few areas and want to talk

9832
05:37:10,680 --> 05:37:12,360
about, first, the statutory

9833
05:37:12,360 --> 05:37:15,360
requirement that got us here.

9834
05:37:17,410 --> 05:37:19,177
So first off, tca8-24-102. That

9835
05:37:19,177 --> 05:37:21,279
is the state requirement that

9836
05:37:21,279 --> 05:37:23,548
the state code that sets the

9837
05:37:23,548 --> 05:37:25,583
compensation for the sheriff,

9838
05:37:25,583 --> 05:37:26,385
across the state, it states

9839
05:37:26,385 --> 05:37:28,453
essentially that the sheriff

9840
05:37:28,453 --> 05:37:30,955
must be paid at least 10%

9841
05:37:30,955 --> 05:37:32,423
higher than salary paid to the

9842
05:37:32,423 --> 05:37:34,592
general officers of the county.

9843
05:37:34,592 --> 05:37:35,995
But it highlights that the

9844
05:37:35,995 --> 05:37:38,129
county legislative body, I.E.

9845
05:37:38,129 --> 05:37:41,129
The metro council, has the

9846
05:37:42,834 --> 05:37:44,969
option to award the the office

9847
05:37:44,969 --> 05:37:47,972
with, to pay them for ex

9848
05:37:47,972 --> 05:37:50,775
officio services. And by that,

9849
05:37:50,775 --> 05:37:52,877
we have a sheriff that manages

9850
05:37:52,877 --> 05:37:54,479
the workhouse. We have a

9851
05:37:54,479 --> 05:37:56,140
sheriff that also now oversees

9852
05:37:56,140 --> 05:37:58,349
the security of this courthouse

9853
05:37:58,349 --> 05:38:01,349
and other metro buildings, and

9854
05:38:01,653 --> 05:38:03,210
also manages a prison

9855
05:38:03,210 --> 05:38:05,421
population that has increased

9856
05:38:06,925 --> 05:38:08,793
since the the dissolve of the

9857
05:38:08,793 --> 05:38:11,629
the private prison here in

9858
05:38:11,629 --> 05:38:13,364
davidson county. So what we're

9859
05:38:13,364 --> 05:38:15,233
trying to do here is really to

9860
05:38:15,233 --> 05:38:18,204
right a wrong that has existed

9861
05:38:18,204 --> 05:38:20,673
for about 15 years over the

9862
05:38:20,673 --> 05:38:23,730
past 15 years, the compensation

9863
05:38:23,241 --> 05:38:25,343
for the sheriff himself has

9864
05:38:25,343 --> 05:38:27,812
increased at roughly half the

9865
05:38:27,812 --> 05:38:29,614
rate of comparable metro

9866
05:38:29,614 --> 05:38:32,140
departments. He currently sits

9867
05:38:33,251 --> 05:38:35,453
at about 20th in. Overall pay,

9868
05:38:35,453 --> 05:38:37,255
however, still manages the

9869
05:38:37,255 --> 05:38:39,655
third largest department. So

9870
05:38:39,757 --> 05:38:41,926
with that I would ask for your

9871
05:38:41,926 --> 05:38:42,927
approval. Thank you.

9872
05:38:42,927 --> 05:38:44,927
All right.

9873
05:38:45,129 --> 05:38:46,598
There is a motion to approve.

9874
05:38:46,598 --> 05:38:49,598

There's a motion to approve.

10166
05:47:23,150 --> 05:47:25,517
Properly seconded. And we are

10167
05:47:25,517 --> 05:47:27,353
on to discussion. In the queue

10168
05:47:27,353 --> 05:47:28,686
is MISS Allen. Go ahead ma'am.

10169
05:47:28,686 --> 05:47:29,688
Thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT. I

10170
05:47:29,688 --> 05:47:30,890
would like to move the

10171
05:47:30,890 --> 05:47:31,890
substitute with a brief comment.

10172
05:47:31,890 --> 05:47:32,791
Okay. Go ahead ma'am.

10173
05:47:32,791 --> 05:47:34,626
Thank you.

10174
05:47:34,626 --> 05:47:35,627
This just corrects the title to

10175
05:47:35,627 --> 05:47:36,661
expand it beyond just

10176
05:47:36,661 --> 05:47:37,630
particulate matter. This this

10177
05:47:37,630 --> 05:47:39,130
bill actually authorizes the

10178
05:47:39,130 --> 05:47:40,331
the collection of information

10179
05:47:40,331 --> 05:47:41,400
on a number of pollutants, not

10180
05:47:41,400 --> 05:47:41,933
just corrects that.

10181
05:47:41,933 --> 05:47:43,933
Great.

10182
05:47:44,602 --> 05:47:47,173
Thank you for that housekeeping

10183
05:47:47,173 --> 05:47:48,641
explanation. Is there any

10184
05:47:48,641 --> 05:47:49,841
further discussion on the

10185
05:47:49,841 --> 05:47:52,611
substitute itself or the motion

10186
05:47:52,611 --> 05:47:54,212
to substitute. Seeing none. All

10187
05:47:54,212 --> 05:47:57,212
in favor the substitute please

10188
05:47:57,282 --> 05:47:58,883
say I. Okay. And I assume, MISS

10189
05:47:58,883 --> 05:48:01,921
Tombs, you want to renew your

10190
05:48:01,921 --> 05:48:03,756
motion to approve a substituted.

10191
05:48:03,756 --> 05:48:05,858
Oh, I guess what. It's MISS

10192
05:48:05,858 --> 05:48:08,493
Allen's bill now. Yes. Thank

10193
05:48:08,493 --> 05:48:09,762
you, special counsel. MISS

10194
05:48:09,762 --> 05:48:11,696
Allen, would you like to renew

10195
05:48:11,696 --> 05:48:12,798
your motion or the motion to

10196
05:48:12,798 --> 05:48:13,980
approve as substitute.

10197
05:48:13,980 --> 05:48:13,998
Move the

10198
05:48:13,998 --> 05:48:14,300
bill as substituted.

10199
05:48:14,300 --> 05:48:16,300
Okay. Is

10200
05:48:16,836 --> 05:48:19,571
there a second? Okay. Is there

10201
05:48:19,571 --> 05:48:21,390
any discussion on that? Seeing

10202
05:48:21,390 --> 05:48:24,639
none. All in favor, please say

10203
05:48:26,846 --> 05:48:27,812
aye. Any voting no or

10204
05:48:27,812 --> 05:48:30,212

10208
05:48:44,128 --> 05:48:45,531
Sponsor style. Suara. Greg.

10212
05:48:50,340 --> 05:48:51,236
ellis is a resolution honoring

10216
05:48:56,276 --> 05:48:56,408
styles you recognized.

10217
05:48:56,408 --> 05:48:57,877
Thank

10218
05:48:57,877 --> 05:48:58,977
you very much. I slowly pulled

10219
05:48:58,977 --> 05:49:01,714
this off just to apply the

10220
05:49:01,714 --> 05:49:05,314
murphy rule to rule 12.3 to it.

10221
05:49:05,317 --> 05:49:07,154
Okay. So there is I believe you

10222
05:49:07,154 --> 05:49:09,654
need to get a committee report.

10223
05:49:09,654 --> 05:49:09,954
Yes. Committee chair cash.

10224
05:49:09,954 --> 05:49:11,789
We

10225
05:49:11,789 --> 05:49:12,858
approve 500.

10226
05:49:12,858 --> 05:49:14,590
Okay. And so if

10227
05:49:14,590 --> 05:49:15,861
you would just make a motion,

10228
05:49:15,861 --> 05:49:17,295
please for approval with 12.3

10229
05:49:17,295 --> 05:49:17,529
applied MISS Styles.

10230
05:49:17,529 --> 05:49:19,330
I'd like

10231
05:49:19,330 --> 05:49:20,732

10232
05:49:20,732 --> 05:49:22,600

10236
05:49:28,720 --> 05:49:30,542
that all those voting in the

05:49:30,542 --> 05:49:32,678

10239
05:49:35,180 --> 05:49:36,247
discussion on this resolution?

10240
05:49:36,247 --> 05:49:38,751
Seeing none. All in favor,

05:49:38,751 --> 05:49:40,920

10255
05:50:08,314 --> 05:50:10,282
MISS Bo, you are recognized.

05:50:10,282 --> 05:50:11,383
Thank you so much, vice mayor.

10257
05:50:11,383 --> 05:50:12,317
Colleagues, it is my honor to

05:50:12,317 --> 05:50:13,180
present this resolution.

10259
05:50:13,180 --> 05:50:14,530
A

10260
05:50:14,530 --> 05:50:15,621
committee report from MISTER

10261
05:50:15,621 --> 05:50:17,656

10262
05:50:17,656 --> 05:50:20,926
I mean, I know we got a. Yeah.

10263
05:50:20,926 --> 05:50:21,227

05:50:23,795 --> 05:50:25,231

05:50:27,660 --> 05:50:27,266
Go ahead

10269
05:50:27,266 --> 05:50:28,267
ma'am.

10270
05:50:28,267 --> 05:50:29,335
Thank you. Colleagues,

10271
05:50:29,335 --> 05:50:31,336
it's my honor to present this

10272
05:50:31,336 --> 05:50:32,771
resolution recognizing the 78th

10273
05:50:32,771 --> 05:50:34,771
japan america student

10274
05:50:35,374 --> 05:50:37,809
conference, on its return to

10275
05:50:37,809 --> 05:50:38,543
nashville next week. This

10276
05:50:38,543 --> 05:50:41,460
conference is more than a

10277
05:50:41,460 --> 05:50:42,481
student exchange. Since 1934,

10278
05:50:42,481 --> 05:50:43,949
it has brought together young

10279
05:50:43,949 --> 05:50:45,751
leaders from japan and the

10280
05:50:45,751 --> 05:50:46,818
united states to build

10281
05:50:46,818 --> 05:50:48,190
understanding, strengthen

10282
05:50:48,190 --> 05:50:49,688
friendships, and foster the

10283
05:50:49,688 --> 05:50:52,157
kind of relationships that last

10284
05:50:52,157 --> 05:50:53,992
a lifetime. Nearly a century

10285
05:50:53,992 --> 05:50:55,793
later, this mission is as

10286
05:50:55,793 --> 05:50:56,896
important as ever, and this

10287
05:50:56,896 --> 05:50:57,962
year, it's returned to

10288
05:50:57,962 --> 05:50:59,962
nashville is especially

10289
05:51:00,566 --> 05:51:02,301
meaningful because 2026 truly

10290
05:51:02,301 --> 05:51:04,570
is the year of japan. In

10291
05:51:04,570 --> 05:51:05,971
nashville, just a few weeks ago,

10292
05:51:05,971 --> 05:51:08,140
our city had the privilege of

10293
05:51:08,140 --> 05:51:09,730
hosting japan's men's national

10294
05:51:09,730 --> 05:51:11,210
soccer team during the fifa

10295
05:51:11,210 --> 05:51:13,113
world cup next week. We are

10296
05:51:13,113 --> 05:51:14,915
excited to welcome outstanding

10297
05:51:14,915 --> 05:51:15,981
japanese and american college

10298
05:51:15,981 --> 05:51:17,783
students who will spend time

10299
05:51:17,783 --> 05:51:19,952
learning from our community and

10300
05:51:19,952 --> 05:51:21,786
sharing their own perspectives.

10301
05:51:21,786 --> 05:51:23,489
then in OCTOBER, nashville will

10302
05:51:23,489 --> 05:51:24,989
host japanese businesses and

10303
05:51:24,989 --> 05:51:27,389
government leaders for the

10304
05:51:27,860 --> 05:51:29,295
southeast U.S. Japan conference,

10305
05:51:29,295 --> 05:51:30,662
furthering strength, further

10306
05:51:30,662 --> 05:51:31,864
strengthening the economic

10307
05:51:31,864 --> 05:51:33,864
partnership between tennessee

10308
05:51:35,835 --> 05:51:37,636
and japan. These, these aren't

10309
05:51:37,636 --> 05:51:38,637
isolated events. Together, they

10310
05:51:38,637 --> 05:51:40,138
tell the story of a

10311
05:51:40,138 --> 05:51:42,538
relationship that continues to

10312
05:51:42,641 --> 05:51:44,443
grow through sports, education,

10313
05:51:44,443 --> 05:51:46,212
business, and people to people

10314
05:51:46,212 --> 05:51:47,947
connections at a time when the

10315
05:51:47,947 --> 05:51:49,547
world can often feel divided,

10316
05:51:49,547 --> 05:51:51,547
international exchange matters.

10317
05:51:51,550 --> 05:51:53,384
It reminds us that diplomacy

10318
05:51:53,384 --> 05:51:55,254
doesn't happen only between

10319
05:51:55,254 --> 05:51:57,220
governments. It happens between

10320
05:51:57,220 --> 05:51:58,456
students, neighbors,

10321
05:51:58,456 --> 05:52:00,456
entrepreneurs, artists,

10322
05:52:00,925 --> 05:52:02,460
athletes, and communities. It

10323
05:52:02,460 --> 05:52:04,290
happens when we listen to one

10324
05:52:04,290 --> 05:52:05,631
another, learn from one another,

10325
05:52:05,631 --> 05:52:07,500
and discover the values we

10326
05:52:07,500 --> 05:52:08,868
share. I'm proud that nashville

10327
05:52:08,868 --> 05:52:10,337
is once again serving as a

10328
05:52:10,337 --> 05:52:12,238
place where these connections

10329
05:52:12,238 --> 05:52:13,639
can flourish, especially

10330
05:52:13,639 --> 05:52:15,740
between young people. I hope

10331
05:52:15,740 --> 05:52:16,774
our visitors leave with a

10332
05:52:16,774 --> 05:52:19,110
deeper appreciation of our city,

10333
05:52:19,110 --> 05:52:20,678
and I hope that our youth learn

10334
05:52:20,678 --> 05:52:23,780
about this unique opportunity

10335
05:52:23,282 --> 05:52:24,850
and that we see future. Jasc

10336
05:52:24,850 --> 05:52:26,184
participants from nashville. I

10337
05:52:26,184 --> 05:52:28,520
ask for your support of this

10338
05:52:28,520 --> 05:52:29,821
resolution and I join all of

10339
05:52:29,821 --> 05:52:31,256
nashville in extending a warm

10340
05:52:31,256 --> 05:52:33,525

05:52:35,160 --> 05:52:37,396

10345
05:52:40,232 --> 05:52:42,368

to amend title 17, the metro

05:58:00,252 --> 05:58:01,353

The metro government by

amending a specific plan for

10508
05:58:04,557 --> 05:58:06,910

10509
05:58:06,910 --> 05:58:07,794

development and again, agenda

10518
05:58:27,346 --> 05:58:29,140
item 97. I guess they will have

10519
05:58:29,140 --> 05:58:30,149
to be taken separately

10520
05:58:30,149 --> 05:58:31,450
potentially for purpose. You're

10521
05:58:31,450 --> 05:58:32,719
not going to be amending it

10522
05:58:32,719 --> 05:58:34,453
this time. So that's great

10523
05:58:34,453 --> 05:58:36,255
because then we can also take

10524
05:58:36,255 --> 05:58:40,292

10525
05:58:40,292 --> 05:58:41,894

10526
05:58:41,894 --> 05:58:43,950
2026-1404, which is a companion

10527
05:58:43,950 --> 05:58:44,163
to the other. It requires

10528
05:58:44,163 --> 05:58:45,431
certain materials to be

10529
05:58:45,431 --> 05:58:47,831
restricted in the construction

10530
05:58:49,369 --> 05:58:50,269
of buildings. In 1403 council

10531
05:58:50,269 --> 05:58:51,400
member parker, you're

10532
05:58:51,400 --> 05:58:51,770
recognized sir.

10533
05:58:51,770 --> 05:58:52,137
Thank you, vice

10534
05:58:52,137 --> 05:58:52,872
mayor.

10535
05:58:52,872 --> 05:58:53,138
The amendment.

10536
05:58:53,138 --> 05:58:55,410
Requires

10537
05:58:55,410 --> 05:58:56,442
a housekeeping edit. So I will

10538
05:58:56,442 --> 05:58:57,810
move approval on second reading

10539
05:58:57,810 --> 05:58:59,810
of both bills.

10540
05:59:01,180 --> 05:59:03,580
Got it. Okay, so

10541
05:59:03,749 --> 05:59:06,185
it is not your intent to amend

10542
05:59:06,185 --> 05:59:07,620
at this time. Correct. Got it.

10543
05:59:07,620 --> 05:59:10,620
Okay. There's a motion to

10544
05:59:12,591 --> 05:59:14,260

05:59:15,528 --> 05:59:17,229

10547
05:59:17,229 --> 05:59:19,465
there any discussion on that at

10548
05:59:19,465 --> 05:59:21,267
this time? Okay. Seeing none.

10549
05:59:21,267 --> 05:59:22,735
All in favor, please say aye.

10550
05:59:22,735 --> 05:59:25,304
Any voting no or abstaining.

Mayor, committee.

Report.

10569
05:59:55,869 --> 05:59:57,203
For the report of the budget

10570
05:59:57,203 --> 05:59:59,710
and finance committee chair

10571
05:59:59,710 --> 06:00:00,472
tombs. You're recognized ma'am.

10572
06:00:00,472 --> 06:00:02,675
Thank you. Budget and finance

10573
06:00:02,675 --> 06:00:04,810

06:00:09,882 --> 06:00:11,830
Was this referred anywhere else?

10578
06:00:11,830 --> 06:00:12,918
No, it was not. Back to you,

10579
06:00:12,918 --> 06:00:14,153
MR. Bradford, for a motion.

10580
06:00:14,153 --> 06:00:15,855
Thank you, vice mayor. I'd like.

10581
06:00:15,855 --> 06:00:15,988
To move the amendment.

10582
06:00:15,988 --> 06:00:17,923
Okay.

10583
06:00:17,923 --> 06:00:19,158
Let's make a motion just to get

10584
06:00:19,158 --> 06:00:20,226
the bill before us. Please, sir.

10585
06:00:20,226 --> 06:00:21,930
Move the bill.

10586
06:00:21,930 --> 06:00:22,928
Okay. Go ahead.

10587
06:00:22,928 --> 06:00:23,630
Now move the amendment.

10588
06:00:23,630 --> 06:00:24,630
Okay.

10589
06:00:24,630 --> 06:00:25,970
Properly seconded. Anything you

10590
06:00:25,970 --> 06:00:25,966
want to share about the

10591
06:00:25,966 --> 06:00:26,660
amendment, sir?

10592
06:00:26,660 --> 06:00:26,932
Yes.

10593
06:00:26,932 --> 06:00:28,100
So the

10594
06:00:28,100 --> 06:00:29,201
amendment came about from some

10595
06:00:29,201 --> 06:00:31,601
conversations during the budget

10596
06:00:31,804 --> 06:00:33,272
and finance committee about,

10597
06:00:33,272 --> 06:00:34,373
some of the restrictions that

10598
06:00:34,373 --> 06:00:36,308
were placed in the original

10599
06:00:36,308 --> 06:00:38,143
bill. So just off the top of my

10600
06:00:38,143 --> 06:00:39,378
head, because I don't have in

10601
06:00:39,378 --> 06:00:41,547
front of me, the amendment

10602
06:00:41,547 --> 06:00:44,416
basically means that the budget

10603
06:00:44,416 --> 06:00:45,918
and finance chair, can hold

10604
06:00:45,918 --> 06:00:48,318
meetings whenever they want,

10605
06:00:48,787 --> 06:00:49,955
but the requirement to get

10606
06:00:49,955 --> 06:00:52,324
documentation three days before

10607
06:00:52,324 --> 06:00:54,724
that departmental hearing will

10608
06:00:55,294 --> 06:00:58,864
only go into effect if it's MAY

10609
06:00:58,864 --> 06:01:02,464
10th or after. Also has in

10610
06:01:02,501 --> 06:01:04,637
there that under this law only

10611
06:01:04,637 --> 06:01:07,370
for departmental hearings will

10612
06:01:07,440 --> 06:01:08,607
have the requirement to get the

10613
06:01:08,607 --> 06:01:10,143
paperwork in the three days

10614
06:01:10,143 --> 06:01:12,912
time frame. So if there's more

10615
06:01:12,912 --> 06:01:15,470
than four hearings in one day,

10616
06:01:15,470 --> 06:01:17,249
then those extra ones aren't

10617
06:01:17,249 --> 06:01:18,951
guaranteed. So with that move,

10618
06:01:18,951 --> 06:01:20,520
the amendment.

10619
06:01:20,520 --> 06:01:21,854
All right. There

10620
06:01:21,854 --> 06:01:22,955
is a motion to amend. It was

10621
06:01:22,955 --> 06:01:25,157
properly seconded. And you've

10622
06:01:25,157 --> 06:01:26,225
heard an explanation of the

10623
06:01:26,225 --> 06:01:27,259
amendment. Is there any

10624
06:01:27,259 --> 06:01:30,229
discussion on the motion to

10625
06:01:30,229 --> 06:01:31,931
amend seeing none. All in favor

10626
06:01:31,931 --> 06:01:33,365
of the amendment please say aye.

10627
06:01:33,365 --> 06:01:34,633
Any voting no or abstaining.

10628
06:01:34,633 --> 06:01:36,368
Okay. Do you want to renew your

10629
06:01:36,368 --> 06:01:37,736
motion to approve, as amended.

10630
06:01:37,736 --> 06:01:38,404
Move as amended, with a brief

10631
06:01:38,404 --> 06:01:40,206
comment?

10632
06:01:40,206 --> 06:01:40,940
Okay. Go ahead. Sir.

10633
06:01:40,940 --> 06:01:42,107
I

10634
06:01:42,107 --> 06:01:43,309
appreciate my colleagues who

10635
06:01:43,309 --> 06:01:44,610
serve on the budget finance

10636
06:01:44,610 --> 06:01:46,679
committee for helping me. And

10637
06:01:46,679 --> 06:01:48,147
as far as well as the

10638
06:01:48,147 --> 06:01:49,949
administration finance office,

10639
06:01:49,949 --> 06:01:51,750
those of us who have served two

10640
06:01:51,750 --> 06:01:53,987
terms now have realized, you

10641
06:01:53,987 --> 06:01:56,880
know, how difficult it is to do

10642
06:01:56,880 --> 06:01:57,290
our job during budget season

10643
06:01:57,290 --> 06:01:58,358
when we don't have all the

10644
06:01:58,358 --> 06:02:00,426
information ahead of in front

10645
06:02:00,426 --> 06:02:02,162
of us in a timely manner. And

10646
06:02:02,162 --> 06:02:04,330
even this past budget season,

10647
06:02:04,330 --> 06:02:06,532
we were getting departmental

10648
06:02:06,532 --> 06:02:08,334
information the day of. And so

10649
06:02:08,334 --> 06:02:09,101
I reached out and we had these

10650
06:02:09,101 --> 06:02:10,870
conversations to try and get

10651
06:02:10,870 --> 06:02:12,400
away, get out, get the

10652
06:02:12,400 --> 06:02:13,873
information to us as soon as

10653
06:02:13,873 --> 06:02:15,140
possible so that we could have

10654
06:02:15,140 --> 06:02:17,610
at least three days before

10655
06:02:17,610 --> 06:02:18,944
budget hearing to receive the

10656
06:02:18,944 --> 06:02:20,946
information we're going to need

10657
06:02:20,946 --> 06:02:22,248
to do our job and to make sure

10658
06:02:22,248 --> 06:02:24,490
that we can that we have

10659
06:02:24,490 --> 06:02:25,117
questions, we can get the

10660
06:02:25,117 --> 06:02:26,152
information we need and get

10661
06:02:26,152 --> 06:02:28,387
those questions answered so

10662
06:02:28,387 --> 06:02:30,189
that we can do a better job of

10663
06:02:30,189 --> 06:02:32,391
monitoring our budget and

10664
06:02:32,391 --> 06:02:33,759
protecting the taxpayers. So

10665
06:02:33,759 --> 06:02:34,460
move for approval.

10666
06:02:34,460 --> 06:02:36,262
All right.

10667
06:02:36,262 --> 06:02:38,797
There is a motion to approve,

10668
06:02:38,797 --> 06:02:40,266
as amended. It was properly

10669
06:02:40,266 --> 06:02:42,434
seconded. We're on to

10670
06:02:42,434 --> 06:02:44,204
discussion. And MISS Gamble is

10671
06:02:44,204 --> 06:02:44,937
in the queue. Go ahead

10672
06:02:44,937 --> 06:02:45,272
councilmember. You're

10673
06:02:45,272 --> 06:02:46,406
recognized.

10674
06:02:46,406 --> 06:02:48,174
Thank you, vice

10675
06:02:48,174 --> 06:02:49,241
mayor. I support the bill. I

10676
06:02:49,241 --> 06:02:50,376
appreciate my colleague for

10677
06:02:50,376 --> 06:02:52,912
bringing this forward. I just

10678
06:02:52,912 --> 06:02:55,748
have a question clarifying what

10679
06:02:55,748 --> 06:02:58,617
a copy is. Is that referring to

10680
06:02:58,617 --> 06:03:01,153
a hard copy or electronic copy,

10681
06:03:01,153 --> 06:03:02,521
or is it I didn't see it

10682
06:03:02,521 --> 06:03:03,389
clearly in the bill. So just

10683
06:03:03,389 --> 06:03:05,124
want to clarify.

10684
06:03:05,124 --> 06:03:06,392
That. Do

10685
06:03:06,392 --> 06:03:07,960
sponsor, do you want to address

10686
06:03:07,960 --> 06:03:09,395
that question? Okay. Go ahead,

10687
06:03:09,395 --> 06:03:10,362
MR. Bradford.

10688
06:03:10,362 --> 06:03:11,530
So conversations

10689
06:03:11,530 --> 06:03:13,530
with the administration,

10690
06:03:13,732 --> 06:03:15,534
there's always a digital copy

10691
06:03:15,534 --> 06:03:18,371
online, but this is to get us

10692
06:03:18,371 --> 06:03:20,207
hard copies of not the budget

10693
06:03:20,207 --> 06:03:23,175
book, but just the information

10694
06:03:23,175 --> 06:03:25,244
for those departments. So what

10695
06:03:25,244 --> 06:03:26,445
we can do, what we need to do,

10696
06:03:26,445 --> 06:03:28,514
if there's anything out,

10697
06:03:28,514 --> 06:03:30,514
the administration finances,

10698
06:03:30,649 --> 06:03:32,818
they're welcome to add to it.

10699
06:03:32,818 --> 06:03:34,653
All right. I don't see anyone

10700
06:03:34,653 --> 06:03:37,530
seeking to be recognized

10701
06:03:37,900 --> 06:03:38,557
specifically on this. No. MISS

10702
06:03:38,557 --> 06:03:40,759
Gamble's question has been

10703
06:03:40,759 --> 06:03:43,630
answered. Is there any further

10704
06:03:43,630 --> 06:03:45,431
discussion on the motion to

10705
06:03:45,431 --> 06:03:48,301
approve this on second reading,

10706
06:03:48,301 --> 06:03:50,136

Okay. So there is

10745
06:04:51,597 --> 06:04:52,798
a motion to approve to get the

10746
06:04:52,798 --> 06:04:54,600
bill before us. Is there a

10747
06:04:54,600 --> 06:04:56,100
second? Okay. And it's back to

10748
06:04:56,100 --> 06:04:57,102
you. You seek to move your

10749
06:04:57,102 --> 06:04:57,736
amendment at this time.

10750
06:04:57,736 --> 06:04:58,904
I would

10751
06:04:58,904 --> 06:04:59,572

06:04:59,572 --> 06:05:00,773

06:05:00,773 --> 06:05:02,776
Okay. Anything you want

10754
06:05:02,776 --> 06:05:05,100
to say about the amendment?

10755
06:05:05,100 --> 06:05:07,547
Just that the amendment came on

10756
06:05:07,547 --> 06:05:11,147
board as a means of working

10757
06:05:11,551 --> 06:05:13,620
with, nes and water to try to

10758
06:05:13,620 --> 06:05:15,522
get some guidelines in there

10759
06:05:15,522 --> 06:05:17,958
that would not put restraints

10760
06:05:17,958 --> 06:05:19,759
on them and what they had to do.

10761
06:05:19,759 --> 06:05:23,620
This whole thing came up as a

10762
06:05:23,620 --> 06:05:24,763
matter of, entities working in

10763
06:05:24,763 --> 06:05:25,764
the right of way and working on

10764
06:05:25,764 --> 06:05:27,633
people's properties when they

10765
06:05:27,633 --> 06:05:28,901
did not know who was there,why

10766
06:05:28,901 --> 06:05:30,669
was why they were there, how

10767
06:05:30,669 --> 06:05:31,904
long they were going to be

10768
06:05:31,904 --> 06:05:33,839
there, that sort of thing. So I

10769
06:05:33,839 --> 06:05:34,808
would just like to ask for your

10770
06:05:34,808 --> 06:05:35,708
approval on this.

10771
06:05:35,708 --> 06:05:37,377
All right.

10772
06:05:37,377 --> 06:05:39,912
You've heard a description of

10773
06:05:39,912 --> 06:05:42,414
the amendment from the sponsor.

10774
06:05:42,414 --> 06:05:44,751

10775
06:05:44,751 --> 06:05:46,218

Okay, we know where

10819
06:06:57,224 --> 06:06:59,124
this is headed now, but we

10820
06:06:59,124 --> 06:06:59,826
still need to get the report of

10821
06:06:59,826 --> 06:07:01,826

10829
06:07:11,700 --> 06:07:12,572
Okay.

10830
06:07:12,572 --> 06:07:14,574
Did you say one meeting

10831
06:07:14,574 --> 06:07:16,974
deferral. Okay. Special counsel

10832
06:07:17,444 --> 06:07:20,947
has shared with me that I guess

10833
06:07:20,947 --> 06:07:22,983
due to the type of this bill,

10834
06:07:22,983 --> 06:07:23,150
did you say 8.1 doesn't apply,

10835
06:07:23,150 --> 06:07:25,150
sir?

10836
06:07:25,751 --> 06:07:27,521
Would you.

10837
06:07:27,521 --> 06:07:29,521
Okay. 8.1 has

10838
06:07:30,423 --> 06:07:33,259
already been used twice on this

10839
06:07:33,259 --> 06:07:36,196
bill. So rule 8.1 does not

10840
06:07:36,196 --> 06:07:37,997
apply. So we have the committee

10841
06:07:37,997 --> 06:07:39,640
reports. Both committees

10842
06:07:39,640 --> 06:07:40,566
recommended a one meeting

10843
06:07:40,566 --> 06:07:42,301
deferral. So now it is back to

10844
06:07:42,301 --> 06:07:43,169
you MR. Koopman for a motion.

10845
06:07:43,169 --> 06:07:44,171
Go ahead sir.

10846
06:07:44,171 --> 06:07:45,238
Thank you, MADAM

10847
06:07:45,238 --> 06:07:46,307
PRESIDENT. Move for a one

10848
06:07:46,307 --> 06:07:48,410
meeting deferral, please.

10849
06:07:48,410 --> 06:07:50,410
Okay.

10850
06:07:51,644 --> 06:07:52,813
All right. There is a motion

10851
06:07:52,813 --> 06:07:54,147
properly seconded for one

10852
06:07:54,147 --> 06:07:55,282
meeting deferral. Is there any

10853
06:07:55,282 --> 06:07:57,682
discussion on the deferral

10854
06:07:58,451 --> 06:08:01,210
motion? Okay. All in favor,

10855
06:08:01,210 --> 06:08:02,488

right. This has been deferred.

10858
06:08:06,526 --> 06:08:10,126
One meeting again by a vote,

10859
06:08:10,129 --> 06:08:13,129

get the bill properly before us.

10929
06:10:08,548 --> 06:10:10,283
Okay. There is a motion to

10930
06:10:10,283 --> 06:10:12,118
approve. It is properly

10931
06:10:12,118 --> 06:10:14,988
seconded. Now it's back to you.

10932
06:10:14,988 --> 06:10:16,456
I would also, we have one

10933
06:10:16,456 --> 06:10:18,856
friendly amendment, and I

10934
06:10:18,925 --> 06:10:20,360
believe council council member

10935
06:10:20,360 --> 06:10:21,528
allen is in the queue and would

10936
06:10:21,528 --> 06:10:23,363
love to have that considered.

10937
06:10:23,363 --> 06:10:25,331
Okay. Anything else you want to

10938
06:10:25,331 --> 06:10:25,532
say at this time or you want to

10939
06:10:25,532 --> 06:10:26,600
speak?

10940
06:10:26,600 --> 06:10:28,335
I'll reserve my remarks.

10941
06:10:28,335 --> 06:10:29,736
Sure. Council member allen, you

10942
06:10:29,736 --> 06:10:30,700
are recognized.

10943
06:10:30,700 --> 06:10:31,738
Thank you,

10944
06:10:31,738 --> 06:10:32,372
MADAM Chair. I think the

10945
06:10:32,372 --> 06:10:33,840
amendments actually officially

10946
06:10:33,840 --> 06:10:35,141
been moved, but I'll move it

10947
06:10:35,141 --> 06:10:36,910
again. Move the amendment. Okay,

10948
06:10:36,910 --> 06:10:37,277
okay. Okay. With a brief

10949
06:10:37,277 --> 06:10:38,277
explanation.

10950
06:10:38,277 --> 06:10:39,445
Go ahead. Please.

10951
06:10:39,445 --> 06:10:41,281
so this simply takes the

10952
06:10:41,281 --> 06:10:42,449
plumbing piece of this out. The

10953
06:10:42,449 --> 06:10:43,750
bill itself is about changing

10954
06:10:43,750 --> 06:10:45,218
tables, and the international

10955
06:10:45,218 --> 06:10:47,188
building code covers that. And

10956
06:10:47,188 --> 06:10:48,522
so it just cleans it up to take

10957
06:10:48,522 --> 06:10:49,560
the plumbing part out.

10958
06:10:49,560 --> 06:10:50,423
Okay.

10959
06:10:50,423 --> 06:10:53,423
You have heard an explanation

10960
06:10:53,927 --> 06:10:55,862
of this friendly amendment. And

10961
06:10:55,862 --> 06:10:58,565
we're on a motion to amend. All

10962
06:10:58,565 --> 06:11:00,000
in favor, please say aye. Any

10963
06:11:00,000 --> 06:11:01,434
voting no or abstaining. Okay.

10964
06:11:01,434 --> 06:11:02,568
And it's back to you, MISS Gadd.

10965
06:11:02,568 --> 06:11:04,338
I presume you want to renew

10966
06:11:04,338 --> 06:11:04,571
your motion to approve, as

10967
06:11:04,571 --> 06:11:05,571
amended.

10968
06:11:05,571 --> 06:11:07,942
I would like to renew

10969
06:11:07,942 --> 06:11:10,110
that motion. And also just with

10970
06:11:10,110 --> 06:11:13,110
one quick word and another

10971
06:11:14,140 --> 06:11:15,649
request to enact a rule 12.3

10972
06:11:15,649 --> 06:11:18,284
for those voting in affirmative

10973
06:11:18,284 --> 06:11:19,785
to also be added. And I want to

10974
06:11:19,785 --> 06:11:21,988
thank the, the council in our

10975
06:11:21,988 --> 06:11:24,491
last body who made work to move

10976
06:11:24,491 --> 06:11:27,327
this forward and, noticing we

10977
06:11:27,327 --> 06:11:28,762
have a gap here, appreciate

10978
06:11:28,762 --> 06:11:30,597
everyone's support to really

10979
06:11:30,597 --> 06:11:31,665
focus on where dignity can

10980
06:11:31,665 --> 06:11:33,867
actually begin, which is in

10981
06:11:33,867 --> 06:11:35,902
some of the small things. One

10982
06:11:35,902 --> 06:11:37,700
of those small things can be a

10983
06:11:37,700 --> 06:11:39,941
very, very big thing when you

10984
06:11:39,941 --> 06:11:41,708
have children with you and a

10985
06:11:41,708 --> 06:11:43,110
diaper changing table, it tells

10986
06:11:43,110 --> 06:11:44,344
everyone, every parent, every

10987
06:11:44,344 --> 06:11:46,120
caregiver that you're welcome

10988
06:11:46,120 --> 06:11:47,814
here and your family matters.

10989
06:11:47,814 --> 06:11:49,382
And, and that is a part of

10990
06:11:49,382 --> 06:11:51,117
dignity that we can provide. So

10991
06:11:51,117 --> 06:11:53,253
with that, I renew my motion.

10992
06:11:53,253 --> 06:11:56,456
All right. So there is a motion

10993
06:11:56,456 --> 06:11:59,456
to approve this ordinance on

10994
06:11:59,692 --> 06:12:02,692

10995
06:12:03,697 --> 06:12:05,970
with application of 12.3,

10996
06:12:05,970 --> 06:12:06,933
such that all those voting in

10997
06:12:06,933 --> 06:12:09,100
the affirmative will be listed

10998
06:12:09,100 --> 06:12:10,136
as co-sponsors. Is there a

10999
06:12:10,136 --> 06:12:12,304
second for that? Any objection

11000
06:12:12,304 --> 06:12:14,139
to the application 12.3? No.

11001
06:12:14,139 --> 06:12:15,909
okay. All right. This properly

11002
06:12:15,909 --> 06:12:18,778

11003
06:12:18,778 --> 06:12:20,213
discussion on this bill seeing

11004
06:12:20,213 --> 06:12:22,349
none. All in favor, please say

06:12:22,349 --> 06:12:23,818
aye. Any voting no or

11006
06:12:23,818 --> 06:12:24,951
abstaining. All right. This has

11007
06:12:24,951 --> 06:12:27,870

06:14:38,485 --> 06:14:39,619
please.

11069
06:14:39,619 --> 06:14:40,954
For the report of the

11070
06:14:40,954 --> 06:14:42,880
planning and zoning committee

11071
06:14:42,880 --> 06:14:42,823
chair horton.

11072
06:14:42,823 --> 06:14:43,924
Thank you. Vice

11073
06:14:43,924 --> 06:14:45,692
mayor, planning and zoning

11074
06:14:45,692 --> 06:14:46,793
voted in favor of a one meeting

11075
06:14:46,793 --> 06:14:47,828
deferral, seven in favor, zero

11076
06:14:47,828 --> 06:14:47,961
against zero not voting.

11077
06:14:47,961 --> 06:14:49,961
Okay.

11078
06:14:50,330 --> 06:14:53,330
And as such, rule 8.1 is

11079
06:14:55,368 --> 06:14:56,369
applied and there is no

11080
06:14:56,369 --> 06:14:57,904
discussion. It's rule 8.11

11081
06:14:57,904 --> 06:14:58,238
meeting question.

11082
06:14:58,238 --> 06:14:59,339
Point of

11083
06:14:59,339 --> 06:15:01,339
order. Yes, please.

11084
06:15:01,908 --> 06:15:03,677
Yes, ma'am.

11085
06:15:03,677 --> 06:15:04,745
To save some time, is it

11086
06:15:04,745 --> 06:15:06,112
possible they deferred one

11087
06:15:06,112 --> 06:15:08,150
meeting? But is it possible for

11088
06:15:08,150 --> 06:15:10,250
me to defer it until the first

11089
06:15:10,250 --> 06:15:11,184
meeting in SEPTEMBER? Since

11090
06:15:11,184 --> 06:15:12,686
it's still deferral.

11091
06:15:12,686 --> 06:15:14,686
That would

11092
06:15:15,188 --> 06:15:16,256
require a suspension of the

11093
06:15:16,256 --> 06:15:17,425
rules.

11094
06:15:17,425 --> 06:15:19,259
Then I guess I'm going

11095
06:15:19,259 --> 06:15:20,560
to ask for suspension of the

11096
06:15:20,560 --> 06:15:21,528
rules so I can defer it till

11097
06:15:21,528 --> 06:15:22,262
that first meeting.

11098
06:15:22,262 --> 06:15:22,329
Okay.

11099
06:15:22,329 --> 06:15:22,596
In

11100
06:15:22,596 --> 06:15:23,463
SEPTEMBER.

11101
06:15:23,463 --> 06:15:25,265
is there any

11102
06:15:25,265 --> 06:15:27,100
objection to a suspension of

11103
06:15:27,100 --> 06:15:29,336
the rules such that the sponsor

11104
06:15:29,336 --> 06:15:30,670
can supersede rule 8.1, which

11105
06:15:30,670 --> 06:15:32,105
would be a mandatory one

11106
06:15:32,105 --> 06:15:34,241
meeting deferral for purposes

11107
06:15:34,241 --> 06:15:36,109
of a two meeting deferral to

11108
06:15:36,109 --> 06:15:37,878
the meeting of SEPTEMBER 1st.

11109
06:15:37,878 --> 06:15:40,460
Is there any objection to the

11110
06:15:40,460 --> 06:15:41,815
suspension of the rules? Okay.

11111
06:15:41,815 --> 06:15:43,316
Seeing none, the rules are

11112
06:15:43,316 --> 06:15:44,684
suspended. If you would make

11113
06:15:44,684 --> 06:15:46,153
that motion, please, ma'am.

11114
06:15:46,153 --> 06:15:47,254
Thank you very much. I'd like

11115
06:15:47,254 --> 06:15:49,550
to move forward to meeting

11116
06:15:49,550 --> 06:15:50,457
deferral. So this would go to

11117
06:15:50,457 --> 06:15:52,580
the first meeting in SEPTEMBER.

11118
06:15:52,580 --> 06:15:53,361
Okay. So that would mean that

11119
06:15:53,361 --> 06:15:54,495
the third reading, third and

11120
06:15:54,495 --> 06:15:56,930
final reading would be at the

11121
06:15:56,930 --> 06:15:57,297
meeting of SEPTEMBER 1st.

11122
06:15:57,297 --> 06:15:58,331
Yes.

11123
06:15:58,331 --> 06:16:00,731
Thank you very much.

11124
06:16:01,234 --> 06:16:03,234
Okay. Any

11125
06:16:03,737 --> 06:16:05,639
discussion? Seeing none. All in

11126
06:16:05,639 --> 06:16:08,639
favor, please say aye. Any

11127
06:16:08,875 --> 06:16:10,310
voting no or abstaining. Okay.

11128
06:16:10,310 --> 06:16:11,444
That means that the third

11129
06:16:11,444 --> 06:16:12,646
reading has been moved to the

11130
06:16:12,646 --> 06:16:15,646
meeting of SEPTEMBER 1st. That

11131
06:16:16,416 --> 06:16:17,818
is a two meeting deferral. MISS

06:16:17,818 --> 06:16:19,419

06:19:53,136 --> 06:19:53,570
to say further, chair?

11249
06:19:53,570 --> 06:19:55,405
I'm

11250
06:19:55,405 --> 06:19:57,730
happy to wait since I see. Or

11251
06:19:57,730 --> 06:19:58,274
can I have a brief comment now?

11252
06:19:58,274 --> 06:19:59,976
You can. Absolutely. You are

11253
06:19:59,976 --> 06:20:00,977
the sponsor. You can say

11254
06:20:00,977 --> 06:20:02,212
whatever you want before we

11255
06:20:02,212 --> 06:20:04,147
move on to others. Go ahead.

11256
06:20:04,147 --> 06:20:05,148
Okay. Thank you so much, vice

11257
06:20:05,148 --> 06:20:08,148
mayor. Colleagues, I rise today

11258
06:20:08,284 --> 06:20:10,530
to ask for your support of bl

11259
06:20:10,530 --> 06:20:11,354
2026-1431 on third and final

11260
06:20:11,354 --> 06:20:13,957
reading. First, I want to

11261
06:20:13,957 --> 06:20:15,240
express my sincere gratitude to

11262
06:20:15,240 --> 06:20:17,160
everyone who's helped bring us

11263
06:20:17,160 --> 06:20:18,194
to this point. Thank you to my

11264
06:20:18,194 --> 06:20:19,620
council colleagues for your

11265
06:20:19,620 --> 06:20:20,831
thoughtful questions, feedback,

11266
06:20:20,831 --> 06:20:22,266
and collaboration through this

11267
06:20:22,266 --> 06:20:22,999
process. Thank you to the

11268
06:20:22,999 --> 06:20:24,167
mayor's office, the

11269
06:20:24,167 --> 06:20:25,769
entertainment commission, and

11270
06:20:25,769 --> 06:20:26,604
the many members of the of

11271
06:20:26,604 --> 06:20:28,405
nashville's entertainment

11272
06:20:28,405 --> 06:20:30,173
community who shared their

11273
06:20:30,173 --> 06:20:32,742
expertise to help shape this

11274
06:20:32,742 --> 06:20:34,344
legislation. And you know, for

11275
06:20:34,344 --> 06:20:35,613
me, today's vote is not the

11276
06:20:35,613 --> 06:20:37,314
finish line. It is the starting

11277
06:20:37,314 --> 06:20:38,315
point. By passing this bill on

11278
06:20:38,315 --> 06:20:39,383
third reading, we can

11279
06:20:39,383 --> 06:20:40,684
immediately begin the important

11280
06:20:40,684 --> 06:20:42,186
work of hiring the first

11281
06:20:42,186 --> 06:20:43,487
executive director, someone who

11282
06:20:43,487 --> 06:20:45,880
can build this office, bring

11283
06:20:45,880 --> 06:20:46,790
stakeholders together and turn

11284
06:20:46,790 --> 06:20:48,192
the vision we've discussed into

11285
06:20:48,192 --> 06:20:50,192
meaningful action that

11286
06:20:50,327 --> 06:20:51,795
leadership will be critical in

11287
06:20:51,795 --> 06:20:53,597
ensuring this office is

11288
06:20:53,597 --> 06:20:55,320
responsive, accountable, and

11289
06:20:55,320 --> 06:20:56,534
successful. From day one, I

11290
06:20:56,534 --> 06:20:57,568
believe this legislation

11291
06:20:57,568 --> 06:20:59,670
positions nashville for long

11292
06:20:59,670 --> 06:21:00,504
term while honoring the

11293
06:21:00,504 --> 06:21:02,206
collaborative spirit that

11294
06:21:02,206 --> 06:21:03,407
brought us here tonight. I

11295
06:21:03,407 --> 06:21:05,807
respectfully ask for your

11296
06:21:06,911 --> 06:21:07,678
support, for bl 2026-1431.

11297
06:21:07,678 --> 06:21:09,460
Thank you.

11298
06:21:09,460 --> 06:21:10,748
All righty. We're on

11299
06:21:10,748 --> 06:21:12,716
to discussion. First in the

11300
06:21:12,716 --> 06:21:14,716
queue, councilmember styles,

11301
06:21:15,486 --> 06:21:15,686
you're recognized.

11302
06:21:15,686 --> 06:21:17,686
Thank you

11303
06:21:20,224 --> 06:21:23,428
very much, vice mayor. I am not

11304
06:21:23,428 --> 06:21:24,963
standing up to try and sway

11305
06:21:24,963 --> 06:21:27,198
anyone's votes. This has been a

11306
06:21:27,198 --> 06:21:28,465
very long journey since 2022,

11307
06:21:28,465 --> 06:21:31,465
when this was first proposed

11308
06:21:32,503 --> 06:21:33,537
and getting it passed in 2023.

11309
06:21:33,537 --> 06:21:34,805
With many of the commissioners

11310
06:21:34,805 --> 06:21:37,107
that are on the commission

11311
06:21:37,107 --> 06:21:38,375
right now that are just

11312
06:21:38,375 --> 06:21:40,100
exhausted. And at this point,

11313
06:21:40,100 --> 06:21:41,779
you haven't heard from them in

11314
06:21:41,779 --> 06:21:42,980
support of this bill, because

11315
06:21:42,980 --> 06:21:45,416
at this point, they all just

11316
06:21:45,416 --> 06:21:46,483
feel like they just want

11317
06:21:46,483 --> 06:21:47,986
something to happen, so they're

11318
06:21:47,986 --> 06:21:49,721
willing to let anything happen,

11319
06:21:49,721 --> 06:21:50,754
despite the fact they don't

11320
06:21:50,754 --> 06:21:52,523
want this mayor's office to

11321
06:21:52,523 --> 06:21:53,692
have anything to do with this

11322
06:21:53,692 --> 06:21:54,860
office,and rightfully so, they

11323
06:21:54,860 --> 06:21:56,494
can incubate anything. We still

11324
06:21:56,494 --> 06:21:58,730
don't know what the office of

11325
06:21:58,730 --> 06:22:00,165
youth safety does, so we've

11326
06:22:00,165 --> 06:22:02,565
already lost one commission

11327
06:22:03,690 --> 06:22:05,604
member during one of the former

11328
06:22:05,604 --> 06:22:07,472
meetings. In the last month,

11329
06:22:07,472 --> 06:22:08,540
the one lawyer that we had,

11330
06:22:08,540 --> 06:22:09,941
because of all the back and

11331
06:22:09,941 --> 06:22:11,743
forth and machinations that

11332
06:22:11,743 --> 06:22:13,512
this administration has done,

11333
06:22:13,512 --> 06:22:14,980
only to get to the point of

11334
06:22:14,980 --> 06:22:16,948
saying, it's mine and I get to

11335
06:22:16,948 --> 06:22:18,850
do what I want with it. And I

11336
06:22:18,850 --> 06:22:20,418
think we should all be shamed.

11337
06:22:20,418 --> 06:22:21,586
Everyone who signed on doesn't

11338
06:22:21,586 --> 06:22:23,622
know exactly what the office

11339
06:22:23,622 --> 06:22:24,723
does or the commission does,

11340
06:22:24,723 --> 06:22:26,124
because a year from now, I

11341
06:22:26,124 --> 06:22:27,893
think we'll still be sitting

11342
06:22:27,893 --> 06:22:31,830
here hoping that this can be on

11343
06:22:31,830 --> 06:22:33,632
its feet. Some people said they

11344
06:22:33,632 --> 06:22:35,834
spoke to commissioners, but

11345
06:22:35,834 --> 06:22:37,235
when asked in meetings, they

11346
06:22:37,235 --> 06:22:39,635
hadn't spoken. They left

11347
06:22:40,839 --> 06:22:41,940
messages for folks. It is

11348
06:22:41,940 --> 06:22:43,676
unfortunate we are doing

11349
06:22:43,676 --> 06:22:45,210
something against this entire

11350
06:22:45,210 --> 06:22:47,346
creative community that has

11351
06:22:47,346 --> 06:22:48,548
said having a mayor directly

11352
06:22:48,548 --> 06:22:50,650
involved in hiring and firing

11353
06:22:50,650 --> 06:22:52,751
has failed every single time.

11354
06:22:52,751 --> 06:22:55,654
And somehow we think that this

11355
06:22:55,654 --> 06:22:58,890
office can get it right. I'm

11356
06:22:58,890 --> 06:22:59,658
embarrassed. It's unfortunate.

11357
06:22:59,658 --> 06:23:01,427
I sure hope someone can prove

11358
06:23:01,427 --> 06:23:03,827
me doubt this group

11359
06:23:04,363 --> 06:23:06,265
can. But you know, I know this

11360
06:23:06,265 --> 06:23:07,466
is going to pass. I just want

11361
06:23:07,466 --> 06:23:09,435
to make sure I was on the

11362
06:23:09,435 --> 06:23:12,170
record to say that this was a

11363
06:23:12,170 --> 06:23:14,307
bad move for everyone that

11364
06:23:14,307 --> 06:23:16,107
signed on to this bill, and

11365
06:23:16,107 --> 06:23:18,277
creatives don't feel supported

11366
06:23:18,277 --> 06:23:20,779
and this is not a positive

11367
06:23:20,779 --> 06:23:22,248
action. Thank you.

11368
06:23:22,248 --> 06:23:23,649
All right.

11369
06:23:23,649 --> 06:23:25,649
Discussion continues. Council

11370
06:23:26,919 --> 06:23:29,155
member suara, you're recognized.

11371
06:23:29,155 --> 06:23:31,624
Thank you, vice mayor. I was

11372
06:23:31,624 --> 06:23:34,561
one of the sponsors of the

11373
06:23:34,561 --> 06:23:36,562
other bill that, councilmember

11374
06:23:36,562 --> 06:23:38,431
styles has. But I think it's

11375
06:23:38,431 --> 06:23:41,000
important for us to not lose

11376
06:23:41,000 --> 06:23:42,768
track of why we're doing this.

11377
06:23:42,768 --> 06:23:44,237
There is an old african proverb

11378
06:23:44,237 --> 06:23:45,371
that says that when two

11379
06:23:45,371 --> 06:23:46,772
elephants are fighting is the

11380
06:23:46,772 --> 06:23:48,641
grass that suffers. I think at

11381
06:23:48,641 --> 06:23:49,709
the end of the day, it's about

11382
06:23:49,709 --> 06:23:51,611
the creatives. It's about doing

11383
06:23:51,611 --> 06:23:53,479
what we need to do for them.

11384
06:23:53,479 --> 06:23:54,714
And I don't care how we get

11385
06:23:54,714 --> 06:23:56,449
here. I think it's about moving

11386
06:23:56,449 --> 06:23:58,551
forward and getting it done. So

11387
06:23:58,551 --> 06:24:00,453
my I wanted to stand up and say,

11388
06:24:00,453 --> 06:24:02,488
I hope that we all support this

11389
06:24:02,488 --> 06:24:03,523
bill and we vote for it so that

11390
06:24:03,523 --> 06:24:04,590
the process continues. If it's

11391
06:24:04,590 --> 06:24:06,426
about the creatives, then I

11392
06:24:06,426 --> 06:24:07,895
think we should prioritize what

11393
06:24:07,895 --> 06:24:09,328
helps them and delaying

11394
06:24:09,328 --> 06:24:11,130
anything or voting against it

11395
06:24:11,130 --> 06:24:12,698
doesn't help that. So with that,

11396
06:24:12,698 --> 06:24:14,501
I'm asking everyone to please

11397
06:24:14,501 --> 06:24:16,170
vote in support because I think

11398
06:24:16,170 --> 06:24:17,572
that moves the process forward.

11399
06:24:17,572 --> 06:24:19,406
Thank you.

11400
06:24:19,406 --> 06:24:21,406
All righty. Okay.

11401
06:24:21,874 --> 06:24:25,179
there is no one else in the

11402
06:24:25,179 --> 06:24:28,150
queue. This is on third and

11403
06:24:28,150 --> 06:24:30,983
final reading. We have a no

11404
06:24:30,983 --> 06:24:33,120
vote on this. Okay. And others.

11405
06:24:33,120 --> 06:24:34,588
Okay. And for that reason,

11406
06:24:34,588 --> 06:24:37,757
because it is an ordinance on

11407
06:24:37,757 --> 06:24:40,757
third and final reading. MR.

11408
06:24:40,993 --> 06:24:43,163
Clark, we need to load the vote.

11409
06:24:43,163 --> 06:24:46,500
There is a motion to approve on

11410
06:24:46,500 --> 06:24:49,500
third and final reading. We're

11411
06:25:02,716 --> 06:25:04,716
going to.

11412
06:25:19,167 --> 06:25:21,567
Votes. And MR. Clark,

11413
06:25:23,170 --> 06:25:24,605
please show the vote. All right.

11414
06:25:24,605 --> 06:25:26,640
This ordinance has passed its

11415
06:25:26,640 --> 06:25:28,942
third and final reading with 28

11416
06:25:28,942 --> 06:25:31,942
votes in favor, four against

11417
06:25:36,717 --> 06:25:39,717
and two abstentions. All right.

11418
06:25:41,156 --> 06:25:44,156
Next is. What happened with

11419
06:25:46,127 --> 06:25:47,996
that 112. Okay. That was on

11420
06:25:47,996 --> 06:25:50,833
that did stay on consent. Okay.

11421
06:25:50,833 --> 06:25:53,233
Next is agenda item 114,

11422
06:25:55,904 --> 06:25:57,704
ordinance bl2026-1453. Sponsors.

Thank you, MADAM

11571
06:30:50,768 --> 06:30:52,436
PRESIDENT. I would request to

suspend the rules so that I can

11573
06:30:53,639 --> 06:30:54,840
move my amendment.

11574
06:30:54,840 --> 06:30:56,840
Okay. There

11575
06:30:56,842 --> 06:30:59,377
is a request to suspend the

11576
06:30:59,377 --> 06:31:01,847
rules for purposes of offering

11577
06:31:01,847 --> 06:31:03,649
an amendment on third reading.

11578
06:31:03,649 --> 06:31:05,851
Is there any objection to the

11579
06:31:05,851 --> 06:31:07,319
suspension of the rules? Seeing

11580
06:31:07,319 --> 06:31:08,420
none, the rules are suspended.

11581
06:31:08,420 --> 06:31:09,555
Go ahead.

11582
06:31:09,555 --> 06:31:11,230
Thank you. I would

11583
06:31:11,230 --> 06:31:12,525
like to move the amendment with

11584
06:31:12,525 --> 06:31:13,292
a brief explanation.

11585
06:31:13,292 --> 06:31:13,759
Go ahead

11586
06:31:13,759 --> 06:31:14,693
please.

11587
06:31:14,693 --> 06:31:16,693
Thank you. Colleagues.

11588
06:31:17,697 --> 06:31:19,431
As it turns out, the the state

11589
06:31:19,431 --> 06:31:21,700
public records rule, which we

11590
06:31:21,700 --> 06:31:22,868
are often told is broad and

11591
06:31:22,868 --> 06:31:24,868
encompasses everything under

11592
06:31:25,671 --> 06:31:27,720
the sun, turns out to

11593
06:31:27,720 --> 06:31:29,274
include appraisals that are

11594
06:31:29,274 --> 06:31:31,674
used in condemnation actions.

11595
06:31:33,212 --> 06:31:35,470
So the appraisal that we would

11596
06:31:35,470 --> 06:31:37,516
produce and the appraisals the

11597
06:31:37,516 --> 06:31:39,284
other side would bring back,

11598
06:31:39,284 --> 06:31:41,820
those are not subject to public

11599
06:31:41,820 --> 06:31:44,756
records requests so that we can

11600
06:31:44,756 --> 06:31:47,226
know what those are. As this

11601
06:31:47,226 --> 06:31:49,428
process unfolds, this amendment

11602
06:31:49,428 --> 06:31:50,829
just makes it where the

11603
06:31:50,829 --> 06:31:53,310
director of public property or

11604
06:31:53,310 --> 06:31:55,567
their designee has to provide

11605
06:31:55,567 --> 06:31:57,967
any appraisals obtained or

11606
06:31:58,404 --> 06:32:00,907
received to, this body, this is

11607
06:32:00,907 --> 06:32:02,740
state law requires the minimum

11608
06:32:02,740 --> 06:32:04,209
amount of any condemnation

11609
06:32:04,209 --> 06:32:05,278
award to be the most recent

11610
06:32:05,278 --> 06:32:07,678
appraisal, which for this

11611
06:32:07,846 --> 06:32:09,948
parcel is $37 million. So in

11612
06:32:09,948 --> 06:32:11,850
essence, we are authorizing

11613
06:32:11,850 --> 06:32:14,654
condemnation. That will be for

11614
06:32:14,654 --> 06:32:16,589
a minimum of $37 million. And I

11615
06:32:16,589 --> 06:32:18,258
jthink that as a part of our job

11616
06:32:18,258 --> 06:32:20,590
and our oversight role, we

11617
06:32:20,590 --> 06:32:21,461
should probably know if it's

11618
06:32:21,461 --> 06:32:23,290
going to be any higher than

11619
06:32:23,290 --> 06:32:25,365
that and have time to review

11620
06:32:25,365 --> 06:32:27,534
that and ask questions and, and

11621
06:32:27,534 --> 06:32:30,534
give the public a public

11622
06:32:31,905 --> 06:32:35,505
process around what is, one of

11623
06:32:35,508 --> 06:32:37,377
government's broadest powers.

11624
06:32:37,377 --> 06:32:39,445
All right. Thank you for that

11625
06:32:39,445 --> 06:32:41,548
explanation of the amendment.

11626
06:32:41,548 --> 06:32:43,417
Okay. So there is a motion to

11627
06:32:43,417 --> 06:32:45,318
amend. Does anyone in the queue

11628
06:32:45,318 --> 06:32:47,820
want to specifically speak on

11629
06:32:47,820 --> 06:32:49,557
the amendment. If you are in

11630
06:32:49,557 --> 06:32:51,457
the queue and you want to speak

11631
06:32:51,457 --> 06:32:53,193
on the motion to amend, if you

11632
06:32:53,193 --> 06:32:56,193
would please raise your hand.

11633
06:32:56,329 --> 06:32:59,265
Okay. Seeing oh, on the

11634
06:32:59,265 --> 06:33:01,201
amendment. Okay. Seeing no one

11635
06:33:01,201 --> 06:33:03,269
in the queue or rather raising

11636
06:33:03,269 --> 06:33:05,805
their hand to speak on the

11637
06:33:05,805 --> 06:33:07,507
amendment, we will move to the

11638
06:33:07,507 --> 06:33:10,760
vote. All in favor of the

11639
06:33:10,760 --> 06:33:13,760
amendment, please say aye. Any

11640
06:33:13,980 --> 06:33:16,516
voting? No any abstaining? Okay.

11641
06:33:16,516 --> 06:33:19,180
I'm sorry, you're abstaining on

11642
06:33:19,180 --> 06:33:20,854
the amendment. Okay. All right.

11643
06:33:20,854 --> 06:33:23,230
So, MR. Horton, would you

11644
06:33:23,230 --> 06:33:24,691
please renew your motion, sir?

11645
06:33:24,691 --> 06:33:24,924
I'd like to move, as amended,

11646
06:33:24,924 --> 06:33:26,893
please.

11647
06:33:26,893 --> 06:33:29,196
Okay. All right. So now

11648
06:33:29,196 --> 06:33:30,931
we are on to discussion on the

11649
06:33:30,931 --> 06:33:33,800
motion to approve on third and

11650
06:33:33,800 --> 06:33:36,200
final reading, as amended.

11651
06:33:36,370 --> 06:33:37,771
first in the queue is council

11652
06:33:37,771 --> 06:33:38,505
member benedict.

11653
06:33:38,505 --> 06:33:39,573
Vice mayor.

11654
06:33:39,573 --> 06:33:41,573
Previous question.

11655
06:33:43,877 --> 06:33:44,612
Okay.

11656
06:33:44,612 --> 06:33:46,612
MISS

11657
06:33:47,514 --> 06:33:49,650
Benedict has called the

11658
06:33:49,650 --> 06:33:51,785
previous question. It was

11659
06:33:51,785 --> 06:33:53,353
properly seconded. That's

11660
06:33:53,353 --> 06:33:55,753
non-debatable. It requires two

11661
06:33:56,523 --> 06:33:58,626
thirds of those voting. I am

11662
06:33:58,626 --> 06:34:00,794
just let's let's do this on the

11663
06:34:00,794 --> 06:34:04,394
machine, MR. Clark, if you want

11664
06:34:05,132 --> 06:34:06,901
to end a debate on this matter,

11665
06:34:06,901 --> 06:34:08,102
you would vote yes to call the

11666
06:34:08,102 --> 06:34:11,102
previous question and move to

11667
06:34:11,572 --> 06:34:13,440
the vote. If you want debate to

11668
06:34:13,440 --> 06:34:14,542
continue, you would vote no.

11669
06:34:14,542 --> 06:34:17,542
Requires two thirds of those

11670
06:34:32,826 --> 06:34:35,226
voting to end debate.

11671
06:34:53,814 --> 06:34:54,982
With all

11672
06:34:54,982 --> 06:34:57,982
votes. And MR. Clerk, please

11673
06:34:58,352 --> 06:35:00,187
show the vote. The motion to

11674
06:35:00,187 --> 06:35:02,723
call the question has failed

11675
06:35:02,723 --> 06:35:05,123
with 21 votes in favor, 11

11676
06:35:05,259 --> 06:35:06,493
against and one abstention. So

11677
06:35:06,493 --> 06:35:07,795
discussion continues. Next in

11678
06:35:07,795 --> 06:35:09,296
the queue is council member

11679
06:35:09,296 --> 06:35:11,296
johnston. You're recognized.

11680
06:35:11,433 --> 06:35:13,330
Thank you, vice mayor. I said a

11681
06:35:13,330 --> 06:35:14,803
lot of this last night. I'm

11682
06:35:14,803 --> 06:35:15,703
going to repeat it. So I just

11683
06:35:15,703 --> 06:35:17,371
think it's really important

11684
06:35:17,371 --> 06:35:19,400
because we've been getting a

11685
06:35:19,400 --> 06:35:21,141
lot of emails to point out that

11686
06:35:21,141 --> 06:35:22,543
this legislation does not

11687
06:35:22,543 --> 06:35:25,543
approve the purchase of the

11688
06:35:25,547 --> 06:35:28,250
parcel next to the zoo. It does

11689
06:35:28,250 --> 06:35:30,151
not inherently stop the data

11690
06:35:30,151 --> 06:35:31,987
center next to the zoo. What it

11691
06:35:31,987 --> 06:35:33,321
does do is authorize

11692
06:35:33,321 --> 06:35:35,423
negotiation, which I think is

11693
06:35:35,423 --> 06:35:36,925
sort of ongoing. And it

11694
06:35:36,925 --> 06:35:39,325
authorizes a legal proceeding

11695
06:35:40,195 --> 06:35:41,763
of condemnation. Which is, as

11696
06:35:41,763 --> 06:35:43,598
council member evan siegel said,

11697
06:35:43,598 --> 06:35:45,233
is one of the most broadest, I

11698
06:35:45,233 --> 06:35:48,136
say, extreme things that the

11699
06:35:48,136 --> 06:35:51,136
government can do. She also

11700
06:35:51,339 --> 06:35:52,541
pointed out, smartly, that the

11701
06:35:52,541 --> 06:35:54,242
minimum amount that we would

11702
06:35:54,242 --> 06:35:57,779
pay for this is the appraised

11703
06:35:57,779 --> 06:35:59,140
value, which is $37,400,600.

11704
06:35:59,140 --> 06:36:00,715
That's a minimum. There's been

11705
06:36:00,715 --> 06:36:01,816
a lot of people that have been

11706
06:36:01,816 --> 06:36:03,552
concerned about the, the blank

11707
06:36:03,552 --> 06:36:04,586
check that we're giving the

11708
06:36:04,586 --> 06:36:06,986
government or giving metro

11709
06:36:07,155 --> 06:36:08,957
legal, to do this. But the

11710
06:36:08,957 --> 06:36:10,458
minimum we know that's the

11711
06:36:10,458 --> 06:36:13,458
floor. And so people should

11712
06:36:18,333 --> 06:36:20,100
understand that, this is a

11713
06:36:20,100 --> 06:36:21,269
really emotional issue for a

11714
06:36:21,269 --> 06:36:23,205
lot of people. I know there's a

11715
06:36:23,205 --> 06:36:24,539
lot of people that are watching

11716
06:36:24,539 --> 06:36:26,241
this. And it's unfortunate that

11717
06:36:26,241 --> 06:36:27,476
we're here in this situation.

11718
06:36:27,476 --> 06:36:30,178
It's been really, really hard

11719
06:36:30,178 --> 06:36:31,713
for a lot of people. And I

11720
06:36:31,713 --> 06:36:32,814
think there's a lot of things

11721
06:36:32,814 --> 06:36:35,218
that are really important to

11722
06:36:35,218 --> 06:36:37,887
people. And this is, this is an

11723
06:36:37,887 --> 06:36:40,755
important bill, but it is also,

11724
06:36:40,755 --> 06:36:41,790
one of the most consequential

11725
06:36:41,790 --> 06:36:43,425
things that we've ever voted on

11726
06:36:43,425 --> 06:36:45,460
or that I've ever voted on in

11727
06:36:45,460 --> 06:36:47,629
my seven years. But I do want

11728
06:36:47,629 --> 06:36:50,432
to make it clear that assuming

11729
06:36:50,432 --> 06:36:53,336
this bill passes, this is not a

11730
06:36:53,336 --> 06:36:55,360
direction for condemnation.

11731
06:36:55,360 --> 06:36:56,906
This is an authorization, and

11732
06:36:56,906 --> 06:36:59,700
it is out of our hands at that

11733
06:36:59,700 --> 06:37:01,611
point. And so it is. It

11734
06:37:01,611 --> 06:37:02,644
are entrusting metro legal

11735
06:37:02,644 --> 06:37:04,780
the consultation with the

11736
06:37:04,780 --> 06:37:06,581
mayor's office to make a good

11737
06:37:06,581 --> 06:37:08,116
decision for everyone involved,

11738
06:37:08,116 --> 06:37:09,518
including the taxpayers that

11739
06:37:09,518 --> 06:37:11,620
will be writing the ultimate

11740
06:37:11,620 --> 06:37:13,880
check.

11741
06:37:13,880 --> 06:37:14,557
All right. Thank you.

11742
06:37:14,557 --> 06:37:15,525
Next in the queue,

11743
06:37:15,525 --> 06:37:16,259
councilmember bradford, you're

11744
06:37:16,259 --> 06:37:17,580
recognized sir.

11745
06:37:17,580 --> 06:37:19,580
Thank you, vice

11746
06:37:20,262 --> 06:37:22,833
mayor. So I want to talk about

11747
06:37:22,833 --> 06:37:25,334
the benefit to the taxpayers

11748
06:37:25,334 --> 06:37:26,802
that as part of our job, one

11749
06:37:26,802 --> 06:37:28,905
thing I've noticed over the

11750
06:37:28,905 --> 06:37:31,730
seven years is how much money

11751
06:37:31,730 --> 06:37:34,777
that we pay in rent for office

11752
06:37:34,777 --> 06:37:36,846
space, for public offices. At

11753
06:37:36,846 --> 06:37:40,449
the end of this fiscal year, we

11754
06:37:40,449 --> 06:37:44,490
paid a total of $7.7 million in

11755
06:37:44,353 --> 06:37:47,353
rent. Next year, it's 8 million

11756
06:37:47,957 --> 06:37:50,357
year. After that, 7.9 million,

11757
06:37:52,528 --> 06:37:54,528
2030 6.3 million. So between 26

11758
06:37:54,964 --> 06:37:56,432
and 30 as a minimum of $37

11759
06:37:56,432 --> 06:37:58,832
million, that the taxpayers

11760
06:37:59,735 --> 06:38:01,300
will have spent on rent. That's

11761
06:38:01,300 --> 06:38:02,738
money that we're throwing away

11762
06:38:02,738 --> 06:38:03,841
because these are not our

11763
06:38:03,841 --> 06:38:06,841
buildings. We are giving this

11764
06:38:07,811 --> 06:38:10,379
money to private industry. So

11765
06:38:10,379 --> 06:38:12,515
if this building cost $37

11766
06:38:12,515 --> 06:38:14,717
million to buy in four years,

11767
06:38:14,717 --> 06:38:17,854
it's paid for, and then that

11768
06:38:17,854 --> 06:38:19,655
money we save in rent can go

11769
06:38:19,655 --> 06:38:20,857
back to the taxpayers. We can

11770
06:38:20,857 --> 06:38:22,959
use that for other things in

11771
06:38:22,959 --> 06:38:25,270
the city and not giving it away

11772
06:38:25,270 --> 06:38:26,863
to private businesses. Any

11773
06:38:26,863 --> 06:38:28,297
extra room we can turn around

11774
06:38:28,297 --> 06:38:29,765
and rent out to nonprofits or

11775
06:38:29,765 --> 06:38:31,868
other entities and generate

11776
06:38:31,868 --> 06:38:32,969
income. So for those in this

11777
06:38:32,969 --> 06:38:35,873
body who are concerned about

11778
06:38:35,873 --> 06:38:37,840
protecting the taxpayers, I say

11779
06:38:37,840 --> 06:38:40,943
let's do what we can to provide

11780
06:38:40,943 --> 06:38:42,440
a metro owned facility and stop

11781
06:38:42,440 --> 06:38:44,514
paying and stop wasting our

11782
06:38:44,514 --> 06:38:46,383
taxpayers money on rent, on

11783
06:38:46,383 --> 06:38:47,719
buildings that we don't

11784
06:38:47,719 --> 06:38:50,254
I ask my colleagues to support

11785
06:38:50,254 --> 06:38:51,254
this. Thank you.

11786
06:38:51,254 --> 06:38:53,254
Right next in

11787
06:38:53,458 --> 06:38:55,259
the queue is council member

11788
06:38:55,259 --> 06:38:57,259
styles. You're recognized.

11789
06:38:58,394 --> 06:39:00,960
Thank you very much. I've been

11790
06:39:00,960 --> 06:39:02,533
a no on the last two votes.

11791
06:39:02,533 --> 06:39:05,200
I'll be a no again tonight. I

11792
06:39:05,200 --> 06:39:06,837
think this bill just feels

11793
06:39:06,837 --> 06:39:08,305
performative and kind of a

11794
06:39:08,305 --> 06:39:09,606
johnny come lately solution

11795
06:39:09,606 --> 06:39:10,806
because everyone else was doing

11796
06:39:10,806 --> 06:39:12,209
work, coming up with solutions,

11797
06:39:12,209 --> 06:39:14,378
and the mayor decided to throw

11798
06:39:14,378 --> 06:39:17,378
spaghetti against the wall. I

11799
06:39:18,348 --> 06:39:20,851
think that if we are being good

11800
06:39:20,851 --> 06:39:22,286
stewards, time and money and

11801
06:39:22,286 --> 06:39:24,454
efforts and the people that

11802
06:39:24,454 --> 06:39:26,990
elected us to sit here in this

11803
06:39:26,990 --> 06:39:28,580
body, when we hear numbers like

11804
06:39:28,580 --> 06:39:29,593
37 million, we should be

11805
06:39:29,593 --> 06:39:31,261
extremely concerned. And if we

11806
06:39:31,261 --> 06:39:33,130
have a money tree that no one

11807
06:39:33,130 --> 06:39:34,331
told me about, please let me

11808
06:39:34,331 --> 06:39:36,233
know where it is. I'd like to

11809
06:39:36,233 --> 06:39:38,502
pluck some money off of it as

11810
06:39:38,502 --> 06:39:41,405
well, but this would be an

11811
06:39:41,405 --> 06:39:42,973
insane use of money. When we

11812
06:39:42,973 --> 06:39:44,174
keep saying we don't have any,

11813
06:39:44,174 --> 06:39:46,109
where are we getting this money

11814
06:39:46,109 --> 06:39:47,244
from? Even if we were going to

11815
06:39:47,244 --> 06:39:48,378
talk about it in the future,

11816
06:39:48,378 --> 06:39:48,979
it's nonsensical. We should

11817
06:39:48,979 --> 06:39:50,180
vote

11818
06:39:50,180 --> 06:39:51,949
no.

11819
06:39:51,949 --> 06:39:53,717
All right. Next in the%

11820
06:39:53,717 --> 06:39:54,418
queue, councilmember. Well she

11821
06:39:54,418 --> 06:39:55,185
recognized.

11822
06:39:55,185 --> 06:39:55,552
Thank you, vice

11823
06:39:55,552 --> 06:39:56,854
mayor.

11824
06:39:56,854 --> 06:39:58,550
I rise in opposition to

11825
06:39:58,550 --> 06:39:58,455
this bill.

11826
06:39:58,455 --> 06:39:59,857
This.

11827
06:39:59,857 --> 06:40:01,658
Is a gross

11828
06:40:01,658 --> 06:40:03,930
misuse of the power of

11829
06:40:03,930 --> 06:40:05,930
condemnation. Condemnation is

11830
06:40:06,630 --> 06:40:07,464
generally for projects that we

11831
06:40:07,464 --> 06:40:08,866
need a particular property for

11832
06:40:08,866 --> 06:40:10,634
something very specific, that

11833
06:40:10,634 --> 06:40:13,203
t cannot be done in any other

11834
06:40:13,203 --> 06:40:14,271
way. This is a gross misuse

11835
06:40:14,271 --> 06:40:15,339
because this is simply taking

11836
06:40:15,339 --> 06:40:16,473
someone's private property

11837
06:40:16,473 --> 06:40:17,508
because right now there's a

11838
06:40:17,508 --> 06:40:19,376
very emotional issue

11839
06:40:19,376 --> 06:40:21,112
surrounding it. The fear is

11840
06:40:21,112 --> 06:40:22,146
when you start going down this

11841
06:40:22,146 --> 06:40:24,383
slope is that we will just

11842
06:40:24,383 --> 06:40:25,483
start creating other

11843
06:40:25,483 --> 06:40:26,617
emergencies and very emotional

11844
06:40:26,617 --> 06:40:28,453
issues where we are going to

11845
06:40:28,453 --> 06:40:29,487
decide that we have, as a

11846
06:40:29,487 --> 06:40:30,654
government have a right to

11847
06:40:30,654 --> 06:40:31,723
simply take people's property

11848
06:40:31,723 --> 06:40:33,525
away. It's just a gross misuse

11849
06:40:33,525 --> 06:40:35,959
of condemnation as far as I'm

11850
06:40:35,959 --> 06:40:38,396
concerned. This is giving, I've

11851
06:40:38,396 --> 06:40:39,497
heard rumblings from my

11852
06:40:39,497 --> 06:40:40,665
constituents who said, oh, some

11853
06:40:40,665 --> 06:40:42,400
of my colleagues have said they

11854
06:40:42,400 --> 06:40:43,501
don't really believe that they

11855
06:40:43,501 --> 06:40:44,702
will actually go ahead and go

11856
06:40:44,702 --> 06:40:46,371
through with this condemnation.

11857
06:40:46,371 --> 06:40:47,371
This is a huge power and

11858
06:40:47,371 --> 06:40:48,540
authorization that we are

11859
06:40:48,540 --> 06:40:49,741
giving to metro legal and the

11860
06:40:49,741 --> 06:40:51,576
mayor's office to do something

11861
06:40:51,576 --> 06:40:55,680
that I think is just, again, a

11862
06:40:55,680 --> 06:40:57,216
gross misuse, of condemnation.

11863
06:40:57,216 --> 06:41:00,351
I think we need to think long

11864
06:41:00,351 --> 06:41:02,520
and hard about, using this

11865
06:41:02,520 --> 06:41:03,955
particular power for this

11866
06:41:03,955 --> 06:41:05,123
situation. This is a very, very

11867
06:41:05,123 --> 06:41:07,523
unfortunate situation that we

11868
06:41:07,926 --> 06:41:09,940
are in. But the zoo is not our

11869
06:41:09,940 --> 06:41:10,963
property. We own the property

11870
06:41:10,963 --> 06:41:12,630
the zoo is on, but the zoo

11871
06:41:12,630 --> 06:41:14,365
itself is a private entity. We

11872
06:41:14,365 --> 06:41:16,367
would be saving money if we

11873
06:41:16,367 --> 06:41:19,700
simply moved the zoo facility

11874
06:41:19,700 --> 06:41:20,338
to another location. I just

11875
06:41:20,338 --> 06:41:22,106
think this is a dangerous thing

11876
06:41:22,106 --> 06:41:23,308
for us to be doing. It's a

11877
06:41:23,308 --> 06:41:25,760
misuse of our power. And I

11878
06:41:25,760 --> 06:41:26,177
don't think that we should

11879
06:41:26,177 --> 06:41:28,790
start taking steps that using

11880
06:41:28,790 --> 06:41:29,215
power in a way that it's not

11881
06:41:29,215 --> 06:41:30,281
intended to be used, because

11882
06:41:30,281 --> 06:41:32,830
ultimately that will come back

11883
06:41:32,830 --> 06:41:33,484
to harm us in very, very

11884
06:41:33,484 --> 06:41:34,552
serious ways. So I ask my

11885
06:41:34,552 --> 06:41:35,286
colleagues not to support this.

11886
06:41:35,286 --> 06:41:36,821
Thank you.

11887
06:41:36,821 --> 06:41:38,523
All right. Next is

11888
06:41:38,523 --> 06:41:38,857
council member eslick. Go ahead

11889
06:41:38,857 --> 06:41:40,391
sir.

11890
06:41:40,391 --> 06:41:42,827
Thank you. I love my

11891
06:41:42,827 --> 06:41:44,696
colleagues. Thought about rent

11892
06:41:44,696 --> 06:41:46,197
owning instead of renting. And

11893
06:41:46,197 --> 06:41:47,866
that makes me wonder, why don't

11894
06:41:47,866 --> 06:41:49,334
we use one of the buildings

11895
06:41:49,334 --> 06:41:50,836
that we already have that are

11896
06:41:50,836 --> 06:41:52,837
empty at the moment? I know we

11897
06:41:52,837 --> 06:41:53,905
have a list of them. We could

11898
06:41:53,905 --> 06:41:55,840
move whatever it is that we

11899
06:41:55,840 --> 06:41:57,709
want to move in there. Now I

11900
06:41:57,709 --> 06:41:58,711
get it. We're trying to save

11901
06:41:58,711 --> 06:41:59,778
the zoo through the

11902
06:41:59,778 --> 06:42:00,980
condemnation. And that makes me

11903
06:42:00,980 --> 06:42:02,714
also believe if you're playing

11904
06:42:02,714 --> 06:42:04,516
chess and we give you checkmate,

11905
06:42:04,516 --> 06:42:06,584
it doesn't really matter if we

11906
06:42:06,584 --> 06:42:08,200
move the rest of the pawns and

11907
06:42:08,200 --> 06:42:09,455
rooks around. You've already

11908
06:42:09,455 --> 06:42:11,390
won the game. You can quit at

11909
06:42:11,390 --> 06:42:12,457
any time you want. And I think

11910
06:42:12,457 --> 06:42:13,758
that's very dangerous for us.

11911
06:42:13,758 --> 06:42:15,560
The condemnation doesn't mean

11912
06:42:15,560 --> 06:42:17,610
that we can buy it without any

11913
06:42:17,610 --> 06:42:18,797
residual consequences. We could

11914
06:42:18,797 --> 06:42:20,765
end up back in court. Losing

11915
06:42:20,765 --> 06:42:22,800
money in a 37 would just be the

11916
06:42:22,800 --> 06:42:23,902
beginning of it.

11917
06:42:23,902 --> 06:42:25,271
Right? Next.

11918
06:42:25,271 --> 06:42:25,671
Council member horton, you're

11919
06:42:25,671 --> 06:42:26,172
recognized.

11920
06:42:26,172 --> 06:42:27,272
Thank you, vice

11921
06:42:27,272 --> 06:42:28,941
mayor, I'd like to reiterate

11922
06:42:28,941 --> 06:42:30,376
that the purpose of this

11923
06:42:30,376 --> 06:42:31,944
legislation is to acquire this

11924
06:42:31,944 --> 06:42:33,579
property for the use of office

11925
06:42:33,579 --> 06:42:35,748
space, training and warehouse

11926
06:42:35,748 --> 06:42:37,216
uses. Metro, as we all know,

11927
06:42:37,216 --> 06:42:38,984
has a severe shortage of office

11928
06:42:38,984 --> 06:42:40,152
space. That need is going to go

11929
06:42:40,152 --> 06:42:41,153
even more acute with the

11930
06:42:41,153 --> 06:42:42,254
looming closure of the

11931
06:42:42,254 --> 06:42:44,254
southeast metro southeast

11932
06:42:46,158 --> 06:42:47,960
office complex. We don't have a empty office space

11933
06:42:47,960 --> 06:42:49,428
sitting around. This parcel

11934
06:42:49,428 --> 06:42:50,863
already has office space

11935
06:42:50,863 --> 06:42:53,399
located on it, so it's ideally

11936
06:42:53,399 --> 06:42:55,501
situated for, to acquire for

11937
06:42:55,501 --> 06:42:57,369
these purposes. I'd also say it

11938
06:42:57,369 --> 06:42:58,771
allows us to acquire it through

11939
06:42:58,771 --> 06:43:00,206
negotiation or condemnation.

11940
06:43:00,206 --> 06:43:01,707
Condemnation is not a foregone

11941
06:43:01,707 --> 06:43:03,750
conclusion. This also only

11942
06:43:03,750 --> 06:43:06,110
grants metro the right but not

11943
06:43:06,110 --> 06:43:07,213
the obligation to acquire this

11944
06:43:07,213 --> 06:43:09,248
property. And if the purchase

11945
06:43:09,248 --> 06:43:11,160
price is unpalatable, metro is

11946
06:43:11,160 --> 06:43:12,484
free to walk away from it. And

11947
06:43:12,484 --> 06:43:13,252
with councilmember siegel's

11948
06:43:13,252 --> 06:43:15,200
friendly amendment, we will

11949
06:43:15,200 --> 06:43:16,322
also be informed of it. And

11950
06:43:16,322 --> 06:43:18,230
there'll be a three week period

11951
06:43:18,230 --> 06:43:20,125
were allowed to where we can

11952
06:43:20,125 --> 06:43:21,962
reevaluate whether that's and with

11953
06:43:21,962 --> 06:43:22,962
that, I'd like to renew my

11954
06:43:22,962 --> 06:43:25,362
motion for approval, please.

11955
06:43:26,565 --> 06:43:28,635
All right. Seeing no one else

11956
06:43:28,635 --> 06:43:30,504
in the queue and hearing from

11957
06:43:30,504 --> 06:43:33,706
the floor that we will have

11958
06:43:33,706 --> 06:43:35,441
several votes. No. And this is

11959
06:43:35,441 --> 06:43:38,770
on its third and final reading.

11960
06:43:38,770 --> 06:43:40,145
So any no vote would require a

11961
06:43:40,145 --> 06:43:43,145
roll call vote. MR. Clark,

11962
06:43:58,497 --> 06:44:02,970
would you please load the vote?

11963
06:44:15,448 --> 06:44:19,480
With all votes in? MR. Clark,

11964
06:44:19,753 --> 06:44:21,922
please show the vote. All right.

11965
06:44:21,922 --> 06:44:23,323
This ordinance has passed on

11966
06:44:23,323 --> 06:44:26,323
