  1. 1:25:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I got my gavel ready.
  2. 1:25:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think this is the first step in the right direction of I don't want to live in this.
  3. 1:25:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Respectfully, there are a whole lot of people that do at a price point they can afford.
  4. 1:25:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that excites me.
  5. 1:26:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not quite exactly where I think we need to go.
  6. 1:26:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not the builder, but it is a step in a direction to fill a need in this city
  7. 1:26:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and within a proximity to a huge installation and some other industrial areas.
  8. 1:26:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think this is awesome.
  9. 1:26:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  10. 1:26:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm off.
  11. 1:26:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know if my marriage would survive us, me and my wife living there,
  12. 1:26:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so it's probably not the house for me, but it is the house for someone.
  13. 1:26:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  14. 1:26:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  15. 1:26:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  16. 1:26:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith, you're recognized. Called on: Wanda Smith
  17. 1:26:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  18. 1:26:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Attorney Riccone.
  19. 1:26:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've talked to Mr. Blackwell about this, and I was not happy about the size of the home.
  20. 1:26:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because I just think that when we start putting,
  21. 1:26:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know, little bitty little houses like this, we're setting it up for disaster.
  22. 1:27:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I say this because people can grow.
  23. 1:27:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript People can move wherever they want to.
  24. 1:27:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But when you set up 47 units of small houses like that, I think you're going to have a problem.
  25. 1:27:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't think it's going to be peaceful.
  26. 1:27:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know.
  27. 1:27:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because I live near something of this sort.
  28. 1:27:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But not small homes like that, but the area.
  29. 1:27:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that if we're trying to help somebody, and we really want to help somebody,
  30. 1:27:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're going to build a bigger size house.
  31. 1:27:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if you want to give them a price adjustment, I think it will work.
  32. 1:27:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But how big are these homes going to be?
  33. 1:27:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What is the measurements?
  34. 1:27:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What is it?
  35. 1:27:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 700 square feet?
  36. 1:27:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 600?
  37. 1:27:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 11 by 6.
  38. 1:27:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So just 600, 700.
  39. 1:28:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's $100.
  40. 1:28:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How many rooms are going to be in it?
  41. 1:28:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The layout, you've got bedrooms in the back.
  42. 1:28:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So just one bedroom?
  43. 1:28:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript On these, yes, ma'am.
  44. 1:28:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One bathroom.
  45. 1:28:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's a development like this in Dover or Paris.
  46. 1:28:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We actually represent the developer.
  47. 1:28:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it's wildly successful.
  48. 1:28:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have a client who put one, and she lives in it, and it is wildly successful.
  49. 1:28:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And to your point, I could.
  50. 1:28:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I could envision that if you sell 47 of these, then you might lose control in somebody.
  51. 1:28:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It might be somewhat bad.
  52. 1:28:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But these aren't going to be sold.
  53. 1:28:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's kind of the beauty.
  54. 1:28:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's why, you know, I'm presenting this, that they're for rent.
  55. 1:28:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so you get to control it.
  56. 1:28:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you're not sprinkling them around in different neighborhoods and selling them.
  57. 1:28:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And here's a lower income house, so to speak, to move into.
  58. 1:28:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if you're going to have a bad rental place,
  59. 1:28:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you're not going.
  60. 1:29:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're not going to rent any of them.
  61. 1:29:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I would submit, I think it will sell police, and it will be policed that way.
  62. 1:29:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't think it will degrade into a bad area to live.
  63. 1:29:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, what I was going to ask, is it sitting next to some homes?
  64. 1:29:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How close is it to bigger homes?
  65. 1:29:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript M2 to the left across the street.
  66. 1:29:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't have my aerial.
  67. 1:29:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going off memory.
  68. 1:29:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript E1 is above it.
  69. 1:29:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript C2 below it.
  70. 1:29:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript R1a behind it.
  71. 1:29:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, okay.
  72. 1:29:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is that right?
  73. 1:29:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  74. 1:29:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, that's good.
  75. 1:29:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  76. 1:29:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can't do math.
  77. 1:29:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can't do 29 by 14.
  78. 1:29:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  79. 1:29:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 290 by 14.
  80. 1:29:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  81. 1:29:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. O'Connor.
  82. 1:29:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  83. 1:29:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized. Called on: Stacey Streetman
  84. 1:29:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  85. 1:29:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. O'Connor, you may or may not know the answer to this question,
  86. 1:29:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but what do you think is the average square footage of an apartment?
  87. 1:30:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The typical townhomes that's been,
  88. 1:30:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that,
  89. 1:30:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that new three-plex, two-plex, two-plex, three-plex, four-plex, six-plex now,
  90. 1:30:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript those are 900 or maybe 800.
  91. 1:30:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're not as big as you think.
  92. 1:30:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's a townhome.
  93. 1:30:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  94. 1:30:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And those are up.
  95. 1:30:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Not an apartment.
  96. 1:30:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  97. 1:30:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So an apartment, you can be, say, 600.
  98. 1:30:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, they're small apartments.
  99. 1:30:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was in a 1,000-square-foot house today, and it, you know,
  100. 1:30:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that's, that's, it was sizable.
  101. 1:30:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that was a standalone house.
  102. 1:30:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So apartments, you can be 600 easy.
  103. 1:30:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this would be comparable to that size,
  104. 1:30:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript except for the fact of, like you said,
  105. 1:30:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you're not sharing a wall with the person beside you.
  106. 1:30:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You actually have your own true space.
  107. 1:30:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Exactly right.
  108. 1:30:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have some quietness and some autonomy.
  109. 1:30:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Being that it's a rental,
  110. 1:30:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript my assumption would be that the upkeep of the landscaping,
  111. 1:30:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all of that would be handled by someone else rather than if any senior citizens
  112. 1:31:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that are looking for their own space that's, you know,
  113. 1:31:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript cheaper for them to afford.
  114. 1:31:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Smaller for them to have to deal with.
  115. 1:31:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're not going to have to handle the mowing or anything like that.
  116. 1:31:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Exactly right.
  117. 1:31:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I should have pointed that out to Councilwoman Smith.
  118. 1:31:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, it'll be owned by Mr. Blackwell.
  119. 1:31:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so the maintenance, the yard, the maintenance of the units,
  120. 1:31:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the roof, the yard, the mowing is, you know, all that's done.
  121. 1:31:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He'll own it.
  122. 1:31:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He'll have to maintain that.
  123. 1:31:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it'll be, if you're a single parent or if you're a single person
  124. 1:31:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you're going to work and coming in tired, you don't have to go,
  125. 1:31:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript cut the bushes and all that.
  126. 1:31:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all taken care of.
  127. 1:31:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if you're older and needing to condense down
  128. 1:31:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or you're working 12-hour shifts out at the industrial park.
  129. 1:31:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would much rather see, and again, we experienced it,
  130. 1:31:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I'm sure Mayor Pitts, we were probably in there together
  131. 1:31:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and seeing this when Hemlock started, there were people living in vans
  132. 1:31:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because workers would come in and it was transient.
  133. 1:32:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this is a much better arrangement.
  134. 1:32:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, I love this concept.
  135. 1:32:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think there's.
  136. 1:32:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know a lot of people, too,
  137. 1:32:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that have wondered why we don't have any concepts like this at this time
  138. 1:32:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because there are people that would like these smaller places to be able to live.
  139. 1:32:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know even when I was younger and living in an apartment,
  140. 1:32:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would have much rather had something like this
  141. 1:32:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript versus having shared walls and everything with other people that were there.
  142. 1:32:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I'm actually excited by this
  143. 1:32:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and hope this time we're able to get this through.
  144. 1:32:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized. Called on: Jimmy Brown
  145. 1:32:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  146. 1:32:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So.
  147. 1:32:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just thinking back, you know, out of high school, young guy,
  148. 1:32:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript my first house was 700 square foot.
  149. 1:32:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, didn't look this nice, but, you know, it's what you can afford at the time.
  150. 1:32:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Or as I get a little older, I may look at this and go,
  151. 1:32:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't have to deal with this much stuff where it's just my wife and I or something
  152. 1:33:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and go, we don't need a 1500 square foot house or something.
  153. 1:33:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And.
  154. 1:33:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Save money and look at something like this where you don't have all the maintenance upkeep
  155. 1:33:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of having to mow the grass, which is my father-in-law say he does it.
  156. 1:33:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't.
  157. 1:33:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, you know, I kind of like them, you know, and with it being close to Fort Campbell.
  158. 1:33:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Also, you may get some young members of the military that, you know,
  159. 1:33:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript can't afford a house or don't need a big apartment where it's just them.
  160. 1:33:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it looks like it'd be a great item for young people starting out
  161. 1:33:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or as we get older, we don't want to have to maintain a lot of stuff.
  162. 1:33:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I kind of like the work there with the low rent prices.
  163. 1:33:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm impressed with your memory.
  164. 1:33:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We'll leave it there.
  165. 1:34:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clowett, you're recognized.
  166. 1:34:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  167. 1:34:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The other council members essentially said what I was going to say.
  168. 1:34:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
  169. 1:34:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We want to live there.
  170. 1:34:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No disrespect.
  171. 1:34:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
  172. 1:34:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have way too much stuff, but they're just starting out near in the latter years,
  173. 1:34:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which also to another council member's thoughts could reduce cars.
  174. 1:34:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
  175. 1:34:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, I understand everything's possible, but I'll be a bit more specific.
  176. 1:34:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If I'm elderly and I'm not mowing my grass and I'm getting around,
  177. 1:34:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I'm not mowing my grass, I'm not mowing my grass.
  178. 1:34:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm probably not driving by myself.
  179. 1:34:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I'm not getting out on there every day going down to that store that he was talking about.
  180. 1:34:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Probably those trips are limited.
  181. 1:34:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So nobody knows what could happen, but with a demographic that could move into there,
  182. 1:34:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript yes, there could be more cars or maybe there's not as many cars.
  183. 1:34:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is that a fair assumption?
  184. 1:34:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I believe that's a fair assumption, yes.
  185. 1:35:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have, sir.
  186. 1:35:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  187. 1:35:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  188. 1:35:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shekinah, you're recognized.
  189. 1:35:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, thank you, Mayor.
  190. 1:35:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. O'Reilly.
  191. 1:35:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript On the entrance.
  192. 1:35:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Into this new neighborhood.
  193. 1:35:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's coming off of Pembroke.
  194. 1:35:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Do you have two entrances or one?
  195. 1:35:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What is that going to look like?
  196. 1:35:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because we're talking about a lot of concrete.
  197. 1:35:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Two entrances, like a racetrack design.
  198. 1:35:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The water.
  199. 1:35:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Where's the water going?
  200. 1:35:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because we're adding a lot of concrete there.
  201. 1:35:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I looked at where the water went on the other one all day long.
  202. 1:35:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It had to be site plan, has to be approved, and it's the same thing that we said before.
  203. 1:35:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Site plan gets reviewed.
  204. 1:35:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It goes through all the appropriate departments, and it'll have to be retained within that square
  205. 1:35:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and released.
  206. 1:35:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's at the same rate.
  207. 1:35:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  208. 1:35:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And my primary issue with this is we're going from an R1 to an R5, right?
  209. 1:35:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If the previous one went from an R1 to an R5, we had issues with it.
  210. 1:35:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just try to be consistent with my rationale on higher vote.
  211. 1:36:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One of the developers said it best.
  212. 1:36:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We pick and choose on what we want to approve and what we don't want to approve.
  213. 1:36:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But if we approve one, then we should approve all.

  220. 1:36:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that these pictures are something he just pulled offline because he told me he
  221. 1:36:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript didn't have a blueprint at the time, and he didn't want to spend that much money to get
  222. 1:36:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a blueprint because I talked to him on the phone.
  223. 1:36:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I said, well, you need to bring something so we can see what you're talking about.
  224. 1:36:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I appreciate him bringing that picture he got offline.

  226. 1:36:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is just something he got offline.
  227. 1:36:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But like I said, I just think that we're setting this.
  228. 1:36:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This little road up, this narrow, it could be something that we wouldn't want to know about.
  229. 1:36:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay?
  230. 1:36:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll leave it at that.

  244. 1:37:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have something to prove.
  245. 1:37:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's just wasted money.
  246. 1:37:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this is very close to what they're going to look like and the floor plans.
  247. 1:37:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we are targeting like single soldiers that's young and trying to find their way.

  311. 1:39:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Good evening.
  312. 1:39:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Bryce Powers, [address omitted; hear it in the video at this time].
  313. 1:39:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You might remember this zoning case.
  314. 1:39:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It came back, came before you about a year ago, a different owner, and it did fail.
  315. 1:39:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have since bought the property, went through the process.
  316. 1:39:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's currently zoned 01, as you can tell.
  317. 1:40:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I went through the process of getting an approved site plan to use this as a commercial building,
  318. 1:40:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript office building extension of my business.
  319. 1:40:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have a 6,000-square-foot office building approved, plus a 2,100-square-foot accessory
  320. 1:40:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript building that is currently ready for a permit if we chose to do that.
  321. 1:40:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've decided to go a little bit different direction I feel like now the
  322. 1:40:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right thing to do for the neighborhood is to convert this back to a residential
  323. 1:40:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript use it is a smaller lot zoning district of r2a than what's around it but the
  324. 1:40:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript homes will be virtually the same size I've just got a quick review of the tax
  325. 1:40:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript records of that area look like they're anywhere from 900 to 1400 square foot
  326. 1:40:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript homes we're gonna be about twelve to fifteen hundred square foot homes on
  327. 1:40:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript although the lots are smaller but the homes will be compatible in size to the
  328. 1:40:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript surrounding neighborhood so I do think this is a good much like a previous case
  329. 1:40:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we kind of got an oddball zoning in the middle of a residential area and feel
  330. 1:40:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like we can clean that up by doing this and then get this property back being
  331. 1:40:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript used have to answer any questions councilman Streetman you recognized Called on: Stacey Streetman
  332. 1:41:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank You mayor mr. powers if you were to use this as an office space anyway
  333. 1:41:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and as it's currently zoned and with the plans that you said you could submit how
  334. 1:41:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript much traffic would that add to the neighborhood it would be a tremendous
  335. 1:41:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript tremendous amount, especially when we're looking to use it for our business.
  336. 1:41:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, our crews will be coming and going all day with trucks and trailers
  337. 1:41:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and, you know, parking there, picking up company vehicles and moving around.
  338. 1:41:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it would be a tremendous more.
  339. 1:41:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're proposing, I think I sent each of you guys the proposed layout.
  340. 1:41:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's eight houses.
  341. 1:41:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would be three, four, five times the amount of this residential traffic for sure.
  342. 1:41:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  343. 1:41:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  344. 1:41:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Holloman, you're recognized.
  345. 1:41:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  346. 1:41:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So let me get this straight.
  347. 1:41:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If this goes R2A, there's only going to be one entrance in and out of the development.
  348. 1:41:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is that correct?
  349. 1:41:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's correct.
  350. 1:41:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, okay.
  351. 1:41:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So then if it was R2, then because of the size of the lots,
  352. 1:41:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you would have to basically go up and down the hill with driveways and entrances.
  353. 1:41:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is that about right?
  354. 1:41:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, you could go that way either way.
  355. 1:41:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, you know, last time it went through, one of the main opposition points was a bunch of driveways coming off the,
  356. 1:42:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know, the property's pretty tight, pretty steep.
  357. 1:42:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that was one.
  358. 1:42:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That was one of the comments.
  359. 1:42:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I tried to listen to what some of the opposition was in the previous zoning case.
  360. 1:42:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was not my zoning case, but I happened to be here the night it was being heard.
  361. 1:42:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I had another case.
  362. 1:42:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I listened to that and said, hey, let's put a little public road, a little cul-de-sac in and address that concern.
  363. 1:42:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this is kind of a tucked-in little place that's going to be, it won't be facing the existing homes.
  364. 1:42:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  365. 1:42:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  366. 1:42:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  367. 1:42:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shaquina, you're recognized.

  369. 1:42:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Powers.
  370. 1:42:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Powers, I see we have 2.1 acres, and like you said, the slowness there doesn't allow all of it to be developed.
  371. 1:42:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So you're looking at eight units, right?
  372. 1:42:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's right.
  373. 1:42:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, just eight units.
  374. 1:42:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the entrance off of which road?
  375. 1:42:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just one entrance, right?
  376. 1:42:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Off of Swift Drive.
  377. 1:42:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just one.
  378. 1:42:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's the only entrance, right?
  379. 1:42:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  380. 1:42:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  381. 1:43:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Previously, there was, I guess, some sort of commercial building there that was demolished years ago,
  382. 1:43:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it's just kind of lining up with that entrance as well that's already there.
  383. 1:43:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  384. 1:43:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  385. 1:43:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.

  387. 1:43:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  388. 1:43:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sir, so you came to another zoning.
  389. 1:43:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You didn't own the land.
  390. 1:43:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It failed.
  391. 1:43:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You took that, what the council said, went back to the drawing board,
  392. 1:43:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and said we're going to do it different.
  393. 1:43:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  394. 1:43:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, we try to, I think Mr. O'Connor said it again, not a case I'm involved in,
  395. 1:43:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but we do try to listen as developers and try to accommodate the best we can.
  396. 1:43:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Opposition, we've heard come up.
  397. 1:43:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  398. 1:43:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, and then with eight units.
  399. 1:43:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Approximately 16 cars?
  400. 1:43:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, that's the.
  401. 1:43:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sure, yeah.
  402. 1:43:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, yeah.
  403. 1:43:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because, like I said, 1,400 square foot houses are not going to be huge car drivers.
  404. 1:43:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
  405. 1:43:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then if it was, left as it is, how many trucks do you own, sir?
  406. 1:43:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have a fleet of about 40 trucks.
  407. 1:43:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.

  481. 1:47:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript streets, if we vote this down, the flooding issue is still going to be there.
  482. 1:47:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The narrow streets are still going to be there, and it's a matter of time before we vote.
  483. 1:47:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there i think we owe it to the developer they have come out with the plan more than they had to
  484. 1:47:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and i will be voting in favor of it thank you mayor thank you councilman streetman you're

  489. 1:48:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this one for well over a week now i've gone back and forth uh with
  490. 1:48:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript okay yes okay no um never a firm way one way or another i took into consideration what i heard
  491. 1:48:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from the family at the regional planning commission when they said that this was they
  492. 1:48:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript didn't start having water on their property and the woman that spoke i mean it's her family
  493. 1:48:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript she's grown up there and they didn't start having water on that family farm until everything
  494. 1:49:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript developed around them and i even sat here and looked while we were going through the very long
  495. 1:49:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript public hearing process
  496. 1:49:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i was looking at everything that was built because one of the speakers in opposition said
  497. 1:49:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's been flooding since 2001 well i started looking at when everything was built around it
  498. 1:49:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript guess what it was late nine uh 1990s and you know early 2000s that everything was being built so
  499. 1:49:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript kind of lines up that they started flooding after everything around them started directing that
  500. 1:49:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript water to them so it was hard to think that it was fair to be able to punish them as the
  501. 1:49:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript only lot that's left they've taken all the water from everybody else and then to say that we
  502. 1:49:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript couldn't develop along there knowing that r1 is a possibility and i know mr raconi said nobody else
  503. 1:49:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is going to touch it but you give it a little while somebody is going to and they're going to
  504. 1:49:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript try and develop it as r1 and so you're talking about an additional 14 lots but then i also
  505. 1:49:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thought from the other side that yes there is water there yes we have traffic that's affecting
  506. 1:50:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript affecting there and that's where i also started having those additional conversations with the
  507. 1:50:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript community about what's going to happen next and i think that's where we're going to be able to
  508. 1:50:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript regarding the stop sign at the intersection of old wrestleville pike and dunbar cave
  509. 1:50:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript also trying to learn more in regard to that flooding that was occurring along there also
  510. 1:50:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript hearing from the family part of the issue is having um stuff uh where trees and stuff were
  511. 1:50:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trimmed next door being thrown in the front ditch and bringing that up last week so that hopefully
  512. 1:50:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that can be addressed in the future as well
  513. 1:50:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this is just the state of the city is really trying to do the most of what it can do with
  514. 1:50:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this the state of the city is doing the most of what it can do with federal funding as well
  515. 1:50:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's the state of the city of johnson county um so there's a lot of public space that we can
  516. 1:51:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript access they're part of the state of the city um they're part of the city of johnson county
  517. 1:51:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there however we can remember what was set up here and in the past i've never seen it to where
  518. 1:51:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he has said he was going to do something that he didn't do there are some that have done that he is
  519. 1:51:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not one of those i can't guarantee when this comes back around and we have to if this were to pass
  520. 1:51:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript tonight when if there is a second reading i can't guarantee that i won't pull it off the consent
  521. 1:51:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript agenda and change my mind but tonight i am going to vote yes i do want to take what was presented
  522. 1:51:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to us tonight i want to get more information on that directly outside of you know the person
  523. 1:51:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's developing it talk more to our department heads i also have to remember when there's been a
  524. 1:51:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript lot of talk in regard to the city pipe and the clogging we all voted on the budget most of us
  525. 1:51:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that were here all voted on the budget um last year and included in that was money for the
  526. 1:52:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript development of a stormwater division which is a
  527. 1:52:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript project that is going to be something that's also going to help us really um find more and more of
  528. 1:52:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript these issues and try and be able to deal with them and get more even more of a handle on it than we've
  529. 1:52:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we've already been having um i know it was referenced that a lot of these places were built
  530. 1:52:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that's why water goes on them that was built they were built a long time ago it's not our
  531. 1:52:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript current departments that were building these homes some of these were built prior to being in the city
  532. 1:52:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but there's already been a lot of work going on and we're going to be able to deal with that
  533. 1:52:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we're going to have a lot of work done and again so tonight i am voting yes but i cannot
  534. 1:52:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript guarantee that my yes vote will come back around for the second reading should it make it that far
  535. 1:52:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman marquee you're recognized thank you mayor i did um pass down a construction plan um
  536. 1:52:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript let's just kind of look at it and pass down um there was questions on the pipe and the flow of
  537. 1:52:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the water there are arrows uh showing the direction of the flow and the pipes that are
  538. 1:53:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript being put at the front of the property currently they're being put at the front of the property
  539. 1:53:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they are 12 inches and mr blackwell is going to be uh putting larger pipes up to 18 inches so that
  540. 1:53:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript will substantially move quite a bit of water there but um if you take note there are some fine print
  541. 1:53:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there just because of the size of the paper i'm sorry you might need a magnifying glass
  542. 1:53:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um that's usually printed on way bigger paper but if you look at um what i have circled over
  543. 1:53:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there for those who have the sheet uh number five states that the contractor shall construct the
  544. 1:53:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript stormwater district and the contractor shall construct the stormwater district and the
  545. 1:53:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript detention facilities prior to the beginning of any other grading operations so typically with
  546. 1:53:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript these types of plans um that is something that they have to do and then the street department
  547. 1:53:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript has to go out there with their engineers and um pretty much check a box so that okay did you do
  548. 1:53:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this on this plan and then once they've accepted that it's been done right it's been actually done
  549. 1:54:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript then he can go in and build his um
  550. 1:54:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the rest of his uh development there so that is on those sheets that they are submitting uh just
  551. 1:54:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so that we're aware of that uh and then i did want to say some additional things here that i wrote
  552. 1:54:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript down um that uh the drainage improvements are quite expensive and so the r2a rezoning allows
  553. 1:54:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript enough homes to offset the cost because if the rezone fails as we've heard it can still be
  554. 1:54:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript developed just with viewers homes but that does increase the price so that's something that we're
  555. 1:54:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trying to do and we did do the math and it's about no sure how much it's going to be worth
  556. 1:54:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript especially for a dry sky and it's about 5K and it's about 3K so if you did do the math it is about
  557. 1:54:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right under 15K on just uh drainage cost so likely again it goes two ways so it's either that the
  558. 1:54:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript builder will build the homes with a cheaper material or so sorry um or they build uh higher
  559. 1:54:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript price homes to make the numbers work an entire subdivision price incrementally higher will drive
  560. 1:55:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript up surrounding assessments over time we're seeing this across the city right
  561. 1:55:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript now I can pull up certain addresses in North Clarksville where you have homes
  562. 1:55:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that are valued at a hundred thousand roughly and they have sick almost six
  563. 1:55:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript hundred thousand dollars homes back in between them you have an eight point
  564. 1:55:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript five million dollar r4 right behind and then another subdivision that is an
  565. 1:55:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript average of 300 K like one street over and so all the homes that are a hundred
  566. 1:55:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thousand here are slowly starting to rise in price and it's pushing the
  567. 1:55:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript people out because our next tax assessment for property value is in
  568. 1:55:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 2029 those people are endangered when homes do not match the neighborhood so
  569. 1:55:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we need to make sure that the homes that we are putting or approving stay within
  570. 1:55:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the same price range and then so if mr. Blackwell does not develop the slot
  571. 1:55:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there are developers in the city who will put more expensive homes there
  572. 1:56:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're doing a lot of work and they're doing a lot of work and they're doing
  573. 1:56:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it right now and so at least with what we're getting with r2a is a home that
  574. 1:56:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript stays within the same median price range as the surrounding area I know we we
  575. 1:56:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript heard a little bit of the traffic I did speak to the street that more about that
  576. 1:56:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I am told that it is in the plan right now there's about three or four
  577. 1:56:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript intersections that have to be done prior to this one just because that's how it
  578. 1:56:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript works I mean I've pulled crash data from another area and I've got a lot of
  579. 1:56:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript data and they've experienced like 57 crashes within the last three years and
  580. 1:56:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript then I compared it to this one this one was like nine is specifically this
  581. 1:56:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript intersection was like nine so obviously as other areas in the city have higher
  582. 1:56:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript crash that they are prioritized but I'm told there's like three or four right
  583. 1:56:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript before this one can get done so it is coming it just it's taking a bit longer
  584. 1:56:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript than anticipated so I guess at the end of this it's really that do we want
  585. 1:56:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript either cheaper homes or more expensive homes and then we're going to be able to
  586. 1:57:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript get a better price for the neighbors or do because that's what our one is
  587. 1:57:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript offering or do we want homes that will at least stay within the median price
  588. 1:57:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript range and fix the drainage issue because that's what's being proposed right now
  589. 1:57:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and so I will be voting in favor for this councilman Claude you recognized I
  590. 1:57:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript think you mr. mayor what an awesome opportunity it is to have these
  591. 1:57:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript discussions because everybody has a slightly different perspective we look
  592. 1:57:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at it a little bit differently the council members that spoke brought up
  593. 1:57:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this episode you've been tapeنا and before this you can see that I have
  594. 1:57:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript rented out this bungalows was not treated and these that we even have
  595. 1:57:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript found furniture that we could take out and left aside so you all should be
  596. 1:57:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript familiar with this it's an awkward feeling today and it's screwed up and
  597. 1:57:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript memories just shouldn't last and where I didn't see that happening in the past
  598. 1:57:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it's only the moment I've listened to what you started in person or I've
  599. 1:57:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript know people call me around there and they don't know why I'm talking to the
  600. 1:57:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript worse next gone wrong so I'll tell you in a second and I'm sorry if some of you
  601. 1:57:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so you want to say no please don't come in but that's dios живo dad and I'll tell
  602. 1:58:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript points perspectives that I saw parts of it didn't see other parts of there's a
  603. 1:58:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript couple things that I do want to say nobody likes to be told what they can
  604. 1:58:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and can't do with something that's theirs let's start right there right
  605. 1:58:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript nobody likes to be told what they can and can't do with something that they
  606. 1:58:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript own it's been handed down generation to generation I respect that it's kind of
  607. 1:58:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what that that flag means why we're all here right now I respect the opposition
  608. 1:58:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of that but I guarantee you if I came to your house tomorrow and said you can't
  609. 1:58:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript do this anymore you're gonna very quickly remove me from your property
  610. 1:58:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because that's not mine right I also believe there's a builder that is vested
  611. 1:58:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in this city that has 20 years of
  612. 1:58:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript building in this city that has a reputation that has not had a court case

  637. 2:01:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript r1 to an r5 that's just too big of a jump for me

  639. 2:01:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if there are the r5s around there just too big of a jump for me um i spoke with the owners

  641. 2:01:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and i told the owners all right i respect them and i support them but i also and they're one
  642. 2:01:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of my constituents or a few of my constituents because the property is in my ward but i also
  643. 2:01:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have to support the other residents so for that i'm going to vote no councilman holloman you're
  644. 2:01:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript recognized thank you mayor um so i'll just um i'll just talk about a few things i got some stuff i'm
  645. 2:02:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i would like to address but typically i only say about one-fifth of what's going through my mind
  646. 2:02:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because my brain goes really really fast when i start talking but um as far as this zone goes so
  647. 2:02:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so we could potentially have a drainage issue fix um or uh or it couldn't um but just from what
  648. 2:02:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i've heard of the of the residents here tonight uh it seems like they're they're happy with what
  649. 2:02:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they what they've got the the bad drainage problem as it is but you know it may be bad but
  650. 2:02:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at least they know what they have where as if we develop it we run the we run a lot of unknown
  651. 2:02:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript risks um yes it could it could help the drainage but it could also make it worse you know we don't
  652. 2:02:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript know we're not we're not fortune tellers but um it was it was mentioned a few times as far as like
  653. 2:02:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a transitional zoning so it goes from like um let's see here like r5 to r2a to to r1 it's an
  654. 2:02:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript r1
  655. 2:02:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript neighborhood but the the reason the main argument for it to be transitional and and so so important
  656. 2:03:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is because we we got to make money like that's that's what it boils down to like it's it's
  657. 2:03:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript convenient and so like yeah we need a transitional uh rezone because because we got to we got to make
  658. 2:03:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that money you know it's uh i see it every every month and i get i get tired of it get more and
  659. 2:03:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript more tired of it seeing all these all these developments and we destroyed our city and and
  660. 2:03:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and all the developers think and you know i'm not i'm not attacking anyone personally i voted for
  661. 2:03:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript y'all's developments a lot of them so like i'm a part of that as well but uh but i mean you know
  662. 2:03:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript every every square inch of clarksville we just need to need to bulldoze those trees and and
  663. 2:03:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript build some build some buildings that we can we can sell that's that's the name of the game it will
  664. 2:03:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript never be enough no matter what no matter how much we develop clarksville or destroy clarksville or
  665. 2:03:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whatever it will never be enough because that that's
  666. 2:03:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just
  667. 2:03:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript how the nature of following money goes.
  668. 2:03:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, there's once a great man that says you can,
  669. 2:04:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going to butcher it because my adrenaline is pumping,
  670. 2:04:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but he says you can serve one master,
  671. 2:04:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but you cannot serve two masters is what he's saying.
  672. 2:04:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He was talking about money, and that's from the Bible.
  673. 2:04:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But there are plenty of examples, and I'll just, you know what,
  674. 2:04:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll just go down the list here as we go through the rezones,
  675. 2:04:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I'm definitely going to be a no vote.
  676. 2:04:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One of the arguments for the developers, they say,
  677. 2:04:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript oh, well, this is going to stimulate the economy.
  678. 2:04:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're going to hire all kinds of people and get the economy,

  682. 2:04:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, like they take the money and they send it off to another country.
  683. 2:04:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, like that's what happens.
  684. 2:04:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so it's.

  763. 2:07:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  764. 2:07:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I am against this, and I'm going to be voting no.
  765. 2:08:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Typically, because of family affiliations,
  766. 2:08:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I abstain on these type of rezones,
  767. 2:08:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but this one I feel like is bad for Ward 7.
  768. 2:08:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, to kind of reiterate what I said earlier,
  769. 2:08:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you look at the bypass, and the future is high density
  770. 2:08:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all the way down the bypass.
  771. 2:08:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just drive down Fort Campbell Boulevard behind Rural King
  772. 2:08:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then, like, all the other apartment developments,
  773. 2:08:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like, that's the future for the bypass,
  774. 2:08:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I guarantee that the residents don't want that.
  775. 2:08:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I actually spoke to a resident over in the Coy Lacey area
  776. 2:08:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this morning, and he was talking about the traffic,
  777. 2:08:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript everyone cutting through Lacey Lane.
  778. 2:08:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, if this is approved, it's just going to increase.
  779. 2:08:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know the street department likes to say stuff like,
  780. 2:08:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript oh, this isn't going to affect traffic,
  781. 2:08:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and, well, there's one small reason.
  782. 2:08:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It won't really affect traffic, but you've got to think,
  783. 2:08:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if every rezone we do increases traffic by 0.1%,
  784. 2:08:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then 0.1%, and then it increases 0.1%,
  785. 2:09:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that adds up.
  786. 2:09:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, the fact of the matter is, like,
  787. 2:09:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think all these rezones affect traffic negatively.
  788. 2:09:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will be voting against this, and I ask you all to as well.

  860. 2:12:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you're recognized. Called on: Ambar Marquis
  861. 2:12:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  862. 2:12:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know some of this has already been said,
  863. 2:12:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I did pull up the chart from our housing assessment that we have for the 2024 to 2029 timeframe.
  864. 2:12:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have a gap of 1073 units between the price range of $601,000 that are rentals.
  865. 2:12:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this development seems to help fit a gap that we're not seeing at all being built currently.
  866. 2:12:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And back in January,
  867. 2:12:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I did at one point visit the warming shelter,
  868. 2:12:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and there was a gentleman there who actually worked down at Industrial Park who was there because he could not afford a home.
  869. 2:12:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I helped him call up around the house,
  870. 2:12:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript downtown looking for anything that is less than $1,000.
  871. 2:12:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it was very difficult because the stipulations that some of the nonprofits have,
  872. 2:13:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript even with helping him pay for like a deposit and get that first month's rent is also the timing of how long he's had that job.
  873. 2:13:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So he had to have been at that job for like at least was it a month before they would even help him.
  874. 2:13:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's why he was at the warming shelter,
  875. 2:13:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because he and then he couldn't find really any any units where there were probably like two that we found that were right at $1,000 just in cost of the house.
  876. 2:13:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He then had to pay for utility connections and utility fees that was pretty much eating up all of his his salary.
  877. 2:13:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we so we need units that are within this price range so that people like that aren't you know at the without a home.
  878. 2:13:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
  879. 2:13:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so part of my notes here the American community survey the ACS of Montgomery County estimate that 43.3% of our renters are a cost burden.
  880. 2:14:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they spend more than 30% of their income on rent.
  881. 2:14:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And what's happening is that because they're spending so much of their income,
  882. 2:14:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they can't have economic mobility.
  883. 2:14:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If they did,
  884. 2:14:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they would help them actually put down payments on their homes or pay off debts.
  885. 2:14:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And,
  886. 2:14:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and mobility here is not just about ownership.
  887. 2:14:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's about having stability during certain transitions,
  888. 2:14:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript transitions such as young adults entering the workforce couples saving for new home ownership that you know they need to have that money to put down payment specifically to Fort Campbell are our military veterans when they transition out of the military into the civilian sector.
  889. 2:14:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There are a lot of unknowns out there because they don't know the type of jobs that they're going to be able to get many of them actually enter.
  890. 2:14:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's very hard to,
  891. 2:14:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're just trying to see if we can help them with basic retail experience or just just something that's super basic that may not be able to help them pay off the rent if they stay here until they can stabilize.
  892. 2:15:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's what this can help them do.
  893. 2:15:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Another situation here is also that maybe people don't realize,
  894. 2:15:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but divorce,
  895. 2:15:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript recovery situations or single parents reselling financially.
  896. 2:15:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's a huge change in somebody's life that units like this can also help.
  897. 2:15:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
  898. 2:15:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it was mentioned previously,
  899. 2:15:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript seniors downsizing you know we have a lot of seniors in our community that on
  900. 2:15:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript fixed incomes either Social Security or even VA and there comes a time and age
  901. 2:15:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where you can no longer deal with your own lawn so you pay other people to do
  902. 2:15:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it and if you're on a fixed income that starts eating away at your your monthly
  903. 2:15:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript paycheck as well so the point here is all is that a lot of people in our
  904. 2:15:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript community are affected by not having homes that they can afford and this
  905. 2:15:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript provides a very small opportunity for our community to start seeing what those
  906. 2:15:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript homes look like and again like that individual I encountered not being
  907. 2:16:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript homeless in some cases so I am very much for this and more of these to come in
  908. 2:16:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Clarksville if we can get that price range in I will be voting in favor thank
  909. 2:16:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you councilman Claude sure recognized I think you mr. mayor there's a shift in
  910. 2:16:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what's needed in Clarksville for housing we all don't want
  911. 2:16:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ranches we all don't want four bedrooms and four baths i there's builders that are understanding
  912. 2:16:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that they're seeing that there's also a mind shift change in what's happening downtown
  913. 2:16:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and smaller communities that are for lack of a better term self-contained we're not going out
  914. 2:16:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're not sprawling we're building up so i will be voting yes to this but i also uh challenge
  915. 2:16:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript builders and i've spoken to a couple offline to let's let's start let's change this this is the
  916. 2:16:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript start of that this is an opportunity that we haven't done you know houses houses got it they're
  917. 2:17:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript small they're for two very different demographics of people or three different demographics
  918. 2:17:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that are needed it's not a bad thing but let's start thinking about putting retail spaces or
  919. 2:17:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript gardens in the middle of that so that it is a self-contained habitat almost
  920. 2:17:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if that makes sense this is fantastic it is not all the way the answer but we're well on the way
  921. 2:17:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of doing something different and expecting a different result as opposed to doing the same
  922. 2:17:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thing and wanting a different result thank you mr mayor councilman streetman you're recognized Called on: Stacey Streetman
  923. 2:17:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you mayor i appreciate all the points that were made um i know the council person from ward
  924. 2:17:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript five uh was talking about the cost savings that you would have when you are a lower income person
  925. 2:17:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript even as she was sitting there listing all those off i also thought you know again thinking about
  926. 2:17:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our seniors especially when you're talking about a smaller house like this than what they've been
  927. 2:17:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript living in you're also saving them on things such as your utilities as well they're not heating a
  928. 2:18:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 1200 square foot home they're heating a 600 to 800 square foot home and i to me i love this concept
  929. 2:18:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i like i said i loved it a year ago when it came before us there was a lot of discussion too
  930. 2:18:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the early meetings regarding the zoning rewrite to ensure that there was a way to have
  931. 2:18:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript these types of homes included in that zoning i'm glad we at least found a way that we can be able
  932. 2:18:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to do this but i think it's an excellent opportunity especially as mr mcconnie mentioned
  933. 2:18:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the speaker from ward two mentioned you're having them all right here in a contained
  934. 2:18:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript neighborhood together while it may not have all the other things you still have them in a contained
  935. 2:18:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript area to where it's not you know
  936. 2:18:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're all right there together it's a great way to kind of build that neighborhood together and
  937. 2:18:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have as was mentioned you know you have some of your soldiers you have some of your industrial
  938. 2:19:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript workers you may have a single mom that's there you have some senior citizens i think this is a
  939. 2:19:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript wonderful opportunity and being involved with and serving on the neighborhood and community services
  940. 2:19:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript committee i know the need that is out there for this affordable housing and this is a great
  941. 2:19:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript opportunity to see how well this goes and to see if there's other opportunities for more things like
  942. 2:19:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this to be done to be able to serve those in need so that they do have this because i can assure you
  943. 2:19:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they'd much rather have a tiny home to live in than a tiny car to live in so i'm going to be
  944. 2:19:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript voting in favor of this tonight as well councilman holloman you recognized thank you mayor so tonight
  945. 2:19:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on this reason specifically we talked about rentals and we talked about the the need for rent which
  946. 2:19:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i think is really important when we're rezoning for rentals you know because they the need always
  947. 2:19:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just seems to seem to pop up um i i like you know okay my honest opinion is i like the blueprint i
  948. 2:20:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript think that's pretty pretty cool house uh but the problem is we talk about affordable living into
  949. 2:20:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript affordable rent um i know a lot of senior centers that are senior citizens that are living out of
  950. 2:20:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript their car right now i don't think they could afford this i've worked retail i know like what
  951. 2:20:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript your average joe smough makes i know like what he brings home and i know like what he brings home
  952. 2:20:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because i've i've worked retail with them i know i've experienced it they're not going to be able
  953. 2:20:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to afford rent um i just don't see this being the the solution that we we really think that it is
  954. 2:20:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you any more comment or question regarding ordinance 62 seeing none hearing none are you

  965. 2:21:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this reason it's uh it's in an r2 neighborhood it is r2a i don't think that that totally fits
  966. 2:21:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do think that money is the deciding factor as far as R2 versus R2A.
  967. 2:21:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you're not going to convince me otherwise of that.
  968. 2:21:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That being said, given the past rezones we've had to fight against and given the office space,
  969. 2:22:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know Mr. Powers has quite the operation as well.
  970. 2:22:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Having one entrance in and out on that corner is probably the best option that we could have.
  971. 2:22:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I guess I'm speaking to the residents over in that area.
  972. 2:22:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so given the nature of things, I'm going to be voting against it.
  973. 2:22:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But if it passes, there are definitely worse things that could happen.
  974. 2:22:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think that corner access right there, I think that's probably our best bet.
  975. 2:22:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we should be thankful.

  982. 2:22:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think it's headed in that direction.
  983. 2:22:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think this is a first step in rethinking the way that we build, rethinking housing solutions.

  1023. 2:24:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This step is necessary in order to move on to the following steps in order to be able to get this built.
  1024. 2:25:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is one of two hospitals that are coming our way, and these are much-needed facilities in our area, especially with a community our size.
  1025. 2:25:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I would ask that you support this annexation.
  1026. 2:25:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized. Called on: Jimmy Brown
  1027. 2:25:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1028. 2:25:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, when we were trying to get these hospitals to come to us, there was a lot of people talking in favor of this, because we need the hospitals.
  1029. 2:25:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But now this comes up, and it's wanting to be annexed into the city.
  1030. 2:25:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now we have people complaining about it being annexed into the city.
  1031. 2:25:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, the hospital wants to be inside the city limits.
  1032. 2:25:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They get better fire protection.
  1033. 2:25:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Fire protection, I believe the code for a city fire.

  1039. 2:26:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is a part of it, annexing that lot into the city so that they could have those services.
  1040. 2:26:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This hospital is going to do a lot for this community.
  1041. 2:26:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I believe that we should be doing that.

  1047. 2:26:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Also, a clarification for the public.
  1048. 2:26:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is not the city taking this and requiring them, forcing them to be in the city.
  1049. 2:26:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is an application that was made to the mayor through the process that it has to go.
  1050. 2:26:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was made to the mayor.
  1051. 2:26:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Then it goes forward to the Regional Planning Commission and then comes to us to make the decision.
  1052. 2:26:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We, as a city, cannot.
  1053. 2:26:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We just go out and decide to make any area be part of the city.
  1054. 2:26:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I just want to make sure the public is fully aware of that.
