203. 0:18:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you want to ask them any questions, you have Ms. Haywood.
204. 0:18:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know we only have two people.
205. 0:18:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have Ms. Haywood or Mr. Byard about growing up on the property.
206. 0:18:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript She talked about, this was the family farm.
207. 0:18:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript She talked about being there first.
208. 0:18:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript She was there before the neighborhood to the north, before the R4 to the south,
209. 0:18:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they sat there with their little R1 and held on to the family farm.
210. 0:18:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was a horse farm.
211. 0:18:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some kids burned the horse farm down.
212. 0:18:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Then, sadly, they lost.
213. 0:18:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They lost.
214. 0:18:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They lost their parents, and they don't live there anymore.
215. 0:18:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And when you look at a big picture, when you look at this land from an overview,
216. 0:18:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript everything's developed except this perfect little rectangle.
217. 0:18:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you look at it, there's a stub to the north, and it comes out on old Russellville Pike.
218. 0:18:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Makes sense to be developed.
219. 0:18:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll submit it always should be developed because of the stub road.
220. 0:18:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But she tells stories about that.
221. 0:18:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And now they don't live there, and they want someone else to enjoy this land.
222. 0:18:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And they want to sell this land.
223. 0:18:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And why is this the opportunity to do something right,
224. 0:18:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that the system works?
225. 0:18:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because now they need to sell the land.
226. 0:19:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Blackwell submitted an application to rezone it.
227. 0:19:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That application immediately identified from the neighbors
228. 0:19:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that there is a significant water issue.
229. 0:19:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Everything paused.
230. 0:19:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Blackwell, the developer, at his cost and expense,
231. 0:19:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript went to his engineer and had that hydrology report, what I just referenced, done.
232. 0:19:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That was expensive, well-received, and it pointed out and identified some hydrological,
233. 0:19:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think that's right, issues.
234. 0:19:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So at that point, the application was changed to a less dense application,
235. 0:19:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that would allow some detention in the rear.
236. 0:19:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The less dense, we went from only, we went up only 14.
237. 0:19:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So as it sits, this is what's intriguing to me when y'all look at this.
238. 0:19:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's R1 right now.
239. 0:19:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It stubs to the north.
240. 0:19:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can put 35 lots in there right now as it sits.
241. 0:19:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But why is this doing the right thing?
242. 0:19:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because when you get the hydrology report, and y'all have pictures in this,
243. 0:20:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Blackwell's going to speak to these.
244. 0:20:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you do it right, and we know water, if you do it right,
245. 0:20:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you've got to do it right, you've got to expend more money.
246. 0:20:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so the developer has to spend more money.
247. 0:20:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're asking a small increase up to an R2A, which is a plus 14-ish lot,
248. 0:20:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is not many.
249. 0:20:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's not a significant impact or increase.
250. 0:20:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But in doing that, right now,
251. 0:20:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're estimating at least $209,000 additional dollars to fix the drainage.
252. 0:20:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's at the developer, Mr. Blackwell's expense.
253. 0:20:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That is at no cost to this city.
254. 0:20:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's at no cost to the taxpayers.
255. 0:20:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's at no cost to the property to the north or to the south.
256. 0:20:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll submit this is the system working because a problem gets fixed,
257. 0:20:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it gets fixed at the developer's dime.
258. 0:20:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's what we all want, somebody else to fix the problems.
259. 0:20:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we believe it's the appropriate zone.
260. 0:20:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We believe this is what should.
261. 0:20:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's what should occur if this doesn't get rezoned.
262. 0:20:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't think they can sell this.
263. 0:21:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know who wants to buy this because if you're a developer and you buy this
264. 0:21:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it doesn't work, you bought a bigger problem.
265. 0:21:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're going to move on down the line and this is going to sit there vacant
266. 0:21:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and somebody is going to have to fix it and it won't be a developer then
267. 0:21:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because now everybody knows that this is only this is a problem.
268. 0:21:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you've got the person sitting here who will fix it with their money.
269. 0:21:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have a lot more to do.
270. 0:21:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And my time is tight, tight, tight.
271. 0:21:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I talked with David Smith.
272. 0:21:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He told me I could tell you all we spoke today.
273. 0:21:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He sees no issue with traffic.
274. 0:21:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have two exits and there's multiple exits.
275. 0:21:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Once you go up to the north, he's a bunch of ways out.
276. 0:21:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He says you can tell them you spoke to me and I have no issues with it.
277. 0:21:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He has no issues with the water.
278. 0:21:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He says he's looked at the hydrology report.
279. 0:21:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's R2A is the appropriate zone.
280. 0:21:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Minimum increase only 14 more.
281. 0:21:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr.
282. 0:21:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Kendall, I'm running out of time, talked about the step down.
283. 0:21:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have R1 and you have R4.
284. 0:22:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the perfect mix.
285. 0:22:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the thing.
286. 0:22:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I listen to Mr.
287. 0:22:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Holliman speak and I like Mr.
288. 0:22:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Holliman, of course, but you're not going to put R1 next to the R4.
289. 0:22:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, this is the perfect buffer.
290. 0:22:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript R4, R2A.
291. 0:22:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr.
292. 0:22:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Riccone.
293. 0:22:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Time is up.
294. 0:22:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you, please do not comment out loud.
295. 0:22:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hang on, Mr.
296. 0:22:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Riccone.
297. 0:22:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We got questions.
298. 0:22:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hang on.
299. 0:22:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ladies and gentlemen, please refrain from any outbursts.
300. 0:22:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript First, during the council meeting, Councilman Streetman, you have a question or a comment
301. 0:22:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for Mr.
302. 0:22:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Riccone.
303. 0:22:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Question.
304. 0:22:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr.
305. 0:22:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Riccone, you mentioned the hydrology report.
306. 0:22:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not something I mean, we hear often at this level, nor do we often hear it at the
307. 0:22:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript RPC.
308. 0:22:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Was that required for y'all to do?
309. 0:22:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Were you asked to do that or was that something that you all chose to do yourselves in order
310. 0:22:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to?
311. 0:22:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To try to come up with the best solution for the land, the latter, um, they're not something
312. 0:23:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript y'all hear very often.
313. 0:23:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They don't occur all the time.
314. 0:23:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There is some work involved and I think, you know, and I mean, I'm representing my client
315. 0:23:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript today, but these homeowners, I mean, it gets the property owners.
316. 0:23:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It gets to my heart.
317. 0:23:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's the right way to do it.
318. 0:23:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, in today's world, if you're going to develop it and it's not going to work, you
319. 0:23:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript don't want to touch it and a hydrology report is the right way to do it.
320. 0:23:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We won't.
321. 0:23:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not possible to grow.
322. 0:23:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We want it to have smart growth.
323. 0:23:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We want it to be managed properly and it's an expense and it's a pain and it's not fun,
324. 0:23:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but that was the right way to do it and that, to me, shows that's why we're trying to do
325. 0:23:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it the right way.
326. 0:23:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's going to the nth degree to address the issues and concerns and you're talking about
327. 0:23:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript being watched.
328. 0:23:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Once it's developed, there's oversight the entire way now.
329. 0:23:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, another question I had, because I know y'all only have a limited number of speakers,
330. 0:23:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I'm sure Mr. Black will be the other one, as you mentioned, but one thing that the homeowner,
331. 0:23:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the property owner addressed in the RPC meeting, and I just wanted to verify that, was that
332. 0:24:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript prior to development being completed around their land, they weren't taking on near the
333. 0:24:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript amount of water that they take now.
334. 0:24:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Am I correct in my understanding of that statement?
335. 0:24:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, ma'am.
336. 0:24:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript She spoke to that when she addressed, and that's why I know it's great that you can
337. 0:24:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript watch this and it's recorded.
338. 0:24:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, they were there first.
339. 0:24:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They were there first, and they spoke, and I've spoken to her, and they can say this
340. 0:24:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript directly.
341. 0:24:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There was never any water issue, and as the developments incurred around them and encroached
342. 0:24:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on them, that's when the water issue began, and they have just been dealing with it, and
343. 0:24:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there's a story to where there's a pipe that's in there.
344. 0:24:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This land drains to the rear, to the railroad track.
345. 0:24:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's a pipe in there that is clogged, and they tell a story to where before it was developed,
346. 0:24:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there was never any water, and they would bush hog the whole.
347. 0:24:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then after developments came and this pipe was put in, at one point it became clogged,
348. 0:24:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that's when all this happened, and they would go unclog it at its own cost and expense,
349. 0:25:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it would flow.
350. 0:25:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So clearly there's an issue.
351. 0:25:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think there's an issue at the pipe at the railroad track.
352. 0:25:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It needs to be cleaned out.
353. 0:25:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's clogged right now.
354. 0:25:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Those pictures are going to show you that it's clogged right now, but it's just fixable,
355. 0:25:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we found that out by this hydrology report.
356. 0:25:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, I'm not going to tell you it wants to be done every time.
357. 0:25:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But you're talking about getting your money's work.
358. 0:25:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This actually identified a problem that addresses all these homeowners,
359. 0:25:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that addresses all the R4 around there, and it's going to give a solution that fixes the problem.
360. 0:25:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
361. 0:25:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
362. 0:25:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shekinah, have you recognized this?
363. 0:25:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, thank you, Mayor.
364. 0:25:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. McCoy, you mentioned something about the water retention, and that was my question.
365. 0:25:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've looked at the property a couple of times.
366. 0:25:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've driven through the adjacent neighborhood as well as from the apartment side,
367. 0:25:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I know that pun.
368. 0:25:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Back there does retain water.
369. 0:25:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When you're talking about water retention,
370. 0:25:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you're talking about retaining all of this water on site,
371. 0:26:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are we looking at a front retention and a back retention?
372. 0:26:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because you go up, and then you go kind of level off,
373. 0:26:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then it goes back down to where the pun is.
374. 0:26:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, yes, that pun is man-made, but it still could be a retention.
375. 0:26:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, sir.
376. 0:26:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The retention will be in the rear.
377. 0:26:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know there's going to be a pipe installed in the front.
378. 0:26:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know in the earlier meetings,
379. 0:26:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in the first meeting, again, when y'all speak, we listen.
380. 0:26:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there was a question about the water may have crossed the road once.
381. 0:26:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That front pipe will address that.
382. 0:26:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this property, through the hydrology report
383. 0:26:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and through the engineering that's going to be done,
384. 0:26:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is going to push the water to the rear of the property
385. 0:26:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to be retained in a rear detention area.
386. 0:26:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then it would be released according to guidelines after that.
387. 0:26:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we're not going to push toward O. Russellville Pike.
388. 0:26:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Pike is going to go to the rear.
389. 0:26:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So in theory, right, and I'm going to say in theory
390. 0:26:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because we don't know what's really going to happen until it's done, right,
391. 0:26:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whether it's going to work or not.
392. 0:26:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But there's flooding right now, right, sometimes on O. Russellville.
393. 0:27:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This will fix that problem because you're saying it's pushing everything to the back.
394. 0:27:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can tell you that through the development plan
395. 0:27:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that this land should not cause any flooding over O. Russellville Pike
396. 0:27:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or to any other neighborhood because it has to adhere to the retention
397. 0:27:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the stormwater pollution maintenance program.
398. 0:27:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, it's very highly regulated.
399. 0:27:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And especially with a hydrology report, there is a roadmap on what has to happen.
400. 0:27:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The RPC is well aware of that.
401. 0:27:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think Mr. Tindall spoke to that.
402. 0:27:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're going to have to have plan approval, site plan approval.
403. 0:27:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's going to be addressed.
404. 0:27:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, I think the pipe back to the railroad track needs to get fixed too.
405. 0:27:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I know Mr. Blackwell is going to speak to that.
406. 0:27:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He will say he's going to be happy to assist the city if they need it
407. 0:27:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript while this is going on to help address that too.
408. 0:27:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, you know, if you fix it,
409. 0:27:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you fix it for one, you can really fix it for all.
410. 0:27:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's the plan.
411. 0:27:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
412. 0:27:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
413. 0:27:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll save my other questions for Mr. Blackwell.
414. 0:27:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, thank you.

425. 0:28:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can we look into this book real quick?
426. 0:28:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was on site yesterday with Mr. Byard, the owner, for four hours
427. 0:28:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to figure out what's going on, and I found it.
428. 0:28:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I want to – so the first picture is a three-foot piece of PVC pipe.
429. 0:28:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I found the pipe that goes up under the railroad track,
430. 0:28:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript meaning when this dammed up before,
431. 0:28:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Byard,
432. 0:28:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript went down there and took a tire with a cable and pulled through this pipe and
433. 0:28:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript every bit of that water left that detention basin every bit of it so I
434. 0:29:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript went to go find out why the water was sitting in that basin so there is four
435. 0:29:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript foot of three foot of water standing that pipe is sitting on the bottom of
436. 0:29:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that pipe there's three foot of water sitting right here not leaving that pipe
437. 0:29:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so the next page is the is the manhole on the other side of the on the other
438. 0:29:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript side of the railroad tracks if you look about in the center of it that white
439. 0:29:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is the pipe going inside the manhole from the other side of the
440. 0:29:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript railroad tracks and then the next page with my you'll see my snake in there as
441. 0:29:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript well in the center that's the other that's what's supposed to exit that
442. 0:29:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript manhole all that water when he drained that left there's a problem right here
443. 0:29:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript stopped up I'm willing to help assist the city find where it stopped up and
444. 0:29:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript help them fix it what that entails I don't know but I do know it stopped up
445. 0:29:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right now they have a perfectly drained ditch going straight to this spot we're
446. 0:30:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript blowing this drainage out of a proportion of what I've learned this
447. 0:30:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript week I've spent all week here with these people and and trying to find it I found
448. 0:30:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it yesterday if this pipe gets maintained the city of
449. 0:30:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Clarksville I learned they did put this pipe in they know it's there now so
450. 0:30:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's part of them working with me to help get it fixed so I'm open for any
451. 0:30:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript questions I guess I could keep speaking a little bit but sorry so you know it
452. 0:30:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was an honor for the Byards and Miss Hagewood to ask me to be a part of this
453. 0:30:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it like so doing my study before I said I do the hydraulic what Stacey asked
454. 0:30:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that was something
455. 0:30:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I recommended with the engineer to do on my own dime not nobody else asked me
456. 0:30:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to do that I want that to be clear to take a step above and beyond what I'm
457. 0:30:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript supposed to do there so it was an honor for them to ask me and put my name on
458. 0:31:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the line if I didn't think I could fix this why would I go build houses there
459. 0:31:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and have a problem with flooding under houses I'm 100 confident I've got this
460. 0:31:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript figured out with the engineers and we're adding the pipe to the front there's no
461. 0:31:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript detention Basin by the road
462. 0:31:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the road back in 2010 they witnessed it it did not go over the road then so it's
463. 0:31:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript anyway I'm open for questions thank you mr. Blackwell councilman

467. 0:31:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right no water will go towards Russellville that is correct that that ditch will be
468. 0:31:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript defined even more to that pipe and that extra pipe we're putting in there'll be two pipes there now
469. 0:31:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript now you mentioned the tracks right you mentioned the pipe that goes over the um under the tracks
470. 0:31:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so this water is going to be flowing that direction right so that's like an overflow that
471. 0:32:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pipe right no sir it's not overflow okay no sir there should be no water behind that behind their
472. 0:32:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript property okay i'm talking about the railroad tracks this pipe that goes underneath the railroad
473. 0:32:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript tracks right that's because i didn't i didn't walk the railroad track so i didn't see that pipe
474. 0:32:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all right but that would be my next question where is this water going it goes all the way
475. 0:32:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript down under dunbar cave road okay and it goes to that big ditch that goes to the red river i walked
476. 0:32:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript every bit of that yesterday with mr byard okay and um once that's unplugged there won't be no water
477. 0:32:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sitting behind there there will be no chance of it flooding the neighbors none okay and i'm gonna
478. 0:32:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript walk that this weekend because i need to see it too i go with you okay cool so we'll do

483. 0:33:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um i have a question in regards to uh mr riconi mentioned how the uh the property owners used to
484. 0:33:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript bush hog in the back yes um i know i had somebody talk to me today they're concerned
485. 0:33:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with the you know that there's a lot of you know growth back there that's causing some of these

487. 0:33:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this so every bit of that detention in the back is what water won't sit there it will always leave
488. 0:33:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and go under that pipe once it that blockage is fixed it will never be there so when he pulled
489. 0:33:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a tire through that 60 foot of pipe mud started to come out of the pipe and it started to go
490. 0:33:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in and out the pipe and uh he had a little bit of water left out of that pipe and then he started
491. 0:33:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript bush hogging it they've gotten older they can't go clean that pipe out anymore okay well and then

497. 0:34:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript plan on bringing before us it is not and i don't think i've ever stood up here and y'all had to
498. 0:34:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ask me why i didn't do what i was told well that i said i was going to do then that was where i was
499. 0:34:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript going with it because i mean you you know well that you'll have to come back up here that's
500. 0:34:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript great i can um i can speak not only myself as sitting on the regional planning commission but
501. 0:34:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there are quite a few council members that now attend the regional planning commission and they
502. 0:34:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are not afraid to get up and speak against a site or a subdivision plan so that's right i know
503. 0:34:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript without a doubt should this go through there will be quite a few eyes watching on it and i and i
504. 0:35:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript don't mean that in any kind of negative fashion at all we feel so good we feel great about it we're
505. 0:35:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 100 percent we're we're ready to go all right thank you sir i appreciate it he'll be back later

507. 0:35:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um mr blackwell i just want to say that i am grateful that um that you brought this to us that
508. 0:35:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you had the foresight to do the hydrology report um i feel like in the last 12 months this governing
509. 0:35:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript body has been hyper focused on flooding and drainage issues and i just really appreciate you
510. 0:35:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript listening but along the lines of the previous speaker what you're presenting is is great and
511. 0:35:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i believe that you're going to be able to do a lot of the work that you're going to be doing and i
512. 0:35:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript believe that you're going to be able to do a lot of the work that you're going to do it however if this
513. 0:35:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript should pass our authority ends we can't hold you accountable to keep your promise so if you don't
514. 0:35:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript do this and then we see flooding in houses who do the neighbors hold accountable who do they hold
515. 0:35:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript liable for this good question we're going to do everything we say we're going to do i don't think
516. 0:36:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript y'all have ever had to question that with me but so that pipe that's under that railroad that is a
517. 0:36:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pipe the city put it in so the city's going to maintain it but like i said i will work with them
518. 0:36:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and help them find the breakage in it to get that water back flowing it's just going to have
519. 0:36:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to be something like these people they shouldn't be getting punished for the water that's gotten
520. 0:36:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pushed to them but the city fixed it with the pipe when they developed the mr tucker that's
521. 0:36:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when that pipe went in i know some of the guys that were there watched it get put in so it's
522. 0:36:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for a reason it's just got to be maintained so if the neighbors experience flooding after you
523. 0:36:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript develop this land are you going to accept liability for their flooding i don't i can't accept flooding
524. 0:36:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for the city's pipe like i said i will get the pipe up to standard because the pipe's not on
525. 0:36:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this property but all this water that comes from their property goes to this pipe but if you don't
526. 0:37:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript hold your promise and they experience flooding
527. 0:37:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you be held liable for their flooding if you don't hold your promise to helping the city if if we do
528. 0:37:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript everything and passed every inspection from the city all the way through and that and i help the
529. 0:37:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript city with my money fix that pipe that is damaged and blocked somewhere they have cameras to find it
530. 0:37:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript once that that's on the city to keep that pipe maintained okay because it's on a different piece
531. 0:37:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of property i'm not allowed to go on another piece of property property and maintain the city's pipe

597. 0:43:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you where my in-ground pool looks like the Cumberland River because it all
598. 0:43:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript washes in I believe so you've been paying to get this taken care of yourself
599. 0:44:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript yes flood yes okay thank you sir Thank You mayor councilman Called on: Tim Chandler
600. 0:44:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Chandler you're recognized thank you mayor do you and the other residents
601. 0:44:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript realize that if we vote no on this you still got the same flooding issues sir I
602. 0:44:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript really don't mean to be disrespectful but I'm not looking for a magic wand to
603. 0:44:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript come in and fix this I'm just trying to keep it from becoming worse that's not
604. 0:44:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript my question my question is do you realize that if we vote no
605. 0:44:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it stays just like it is you will have the exact same flooding problems do
606. 0:44:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you and the other residents realize that yes sir okay thank you
607. 0:44:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman Klontz you're recognized thank you mayor sir I appreciate your
608. 0:44:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript passion a lot of us have the same passion and we've toyed with this I
609. 0:45:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript respect that very much so and again I would offer what councilman Chandler said
610. 0:45:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what is the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and expecting a
611. 0:45:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript different result yes you have a builder that is offering to take care of
612. 0:45:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript something that is really not his problem to take care of and we all would just
613. 0:45:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like that everybody consider that right we my house flooded and it shouldn't
614. 0:45:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript flood and I don't live anywhere over there and to uh Cousman Smith's point
615. 0:45:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like 2001 a long time ago you took care of on your own
616. 0:45:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript why didn't you come here circuit 2002 and complain about this issue then before now
617. 0:45:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they want to sell land that is family land that they've owned to create more housing in a city
618. 0:45:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where we need more housing I've tried to I've come here each time they tried to rezone it the last
619. 0:45:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript time I want to say it was 2006 to a PUD uh to speak out against this so I have thank you Mr
620. 0:46:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Kennedy thank you is there anyone else in the audience that wishes to speak against Ordinance 47
621. 0:46:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr Knoll if you give us your name you have five minutes
622. 0:46:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Jim Knoll I live at [address omitted; hear it in the video at this time] and I know this issue about the flooding is beat to death
623. 0:46:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we've resurrected the horse we killed it again we resurrected killed again but you're still going to
624. 0:46:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript hear more of it this has been a problem for 20 years and I fully understand the concept of
625. 0:46:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript somebody else fixing it but the thing is it shouldn't
626. 0:46:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have taken this long and somebody else to fix it if there's a city problem there then it should be
627. 0:46:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript fixed this hydrology report we talked about uh there's no doubt in my mind that these engineers
628. 0:46:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are very competent I have no idea who they are but you know the subdivisions like seven of them
629. 0:46:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we always talk about Farmington we always talk about them but there's several other subdivisions
630. 0:47:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that have flooded that some engineer signed off on saying it was going to drain correctly and you
631. 0:47:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you know what?
632. 0:47:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now the city is buying some of those properties because they can't get it fixed.
633. 0:47:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we don't want to end up in that same boat.
634. 0:47:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So now I've lost that bandwagon, I'll move on.
635. 0:47:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We know these issues have been here since the 90s.
636. 0:47:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript At one point the flooding was so severe it actually went over the railroad tracks.
637. 0:47:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's when they actually decided to put in the 24-inch pipe in that residence.
638. 0:47:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we also, something before I even forget, is, you know, we mentioned and said that the
639. 0:47:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript flooding across Old Russellville was last time was 2010.
640. 0:47:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript February 14, 2025 was the last time that flooded across that property.
641. 0:47:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it is very recent.
642. 0:47:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And once again, if this hydrology fixes it all, that's all well and good.
643. 0:47:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But let's go with the other thing that's going to happen.
644. 0:47:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're talking about putting 48, 49 properties on seven acres of land.
645. 0:47:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Street Department says there is...
646. 0:48:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
647. 0:48:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No impact.
648. 0:48:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, I can appreciate that, but all these other subdivisions, because I can't get anybody
649. 0:48:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to show me any sort of traffic study or survey that has been done any time recently.
650. 0:48:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A level one traffic survey can be done essentially to see, and it's a very abbreviated one.
651. 0:48:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But if you look at the tick mark it takes to get a traffic survey done, it takes for
652. 0:48:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript an R2A property, it would have to be 42 acres.
653. 0:48:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Or a thousand trips a day.
654. 0:48:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So how about all these new subdivisions have been built all along Old Russellville Pike?
655. 0:48:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can go down there up and down.
656. 0:48:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No traffic survey has ever been done.
657. 0:48:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Our property or along Old Russellville Pike, because nobody wants to go through the chaos
658. 0:48:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of Wilma Rudolph anymore, so what do they take?
659. 0:48:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Old Russellville Pike.
660. 0:48:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Once again, this is not the contractor's issue.
661. 0:48:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But this is stuff that needs to be addressed if you're going to put 48, 49 more properties.
662. 0:48:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There needs to be some sort of...
663. 0:49:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's a survey done saying what should happen.
664. 0:49:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Same thing with the flooding.
665. 0:49:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't think the question that Council Lovato, I don't think the question she asked never
666. 0:49:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript really got answered.
667. 0:49:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Personally sitting back there listening is three years after the contractor's done they're
668. 0:49:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no longer liable for stuff.
669. 0:49:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well once again it falls back on us.
670. 0:49:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that being said, the proposed development we're also required to access points.
671. 0:49:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Which will route more traffic through the surrounding residential neighborhoods, introducing
672. 0:49:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript cut through traffic, reduce safety, disrupt a quiet low density neighborhood.
673. 0:49:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We did have a meeting with the contractor and we had hoped to get questions answered.
674. 0:49:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we got the word irrelevant thrown at us more than one time.
675. 0:49:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We never really did get answers.
676. 0:49:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When we walked out of that meeting with him, we had no warm fuzzies about what was going
677. 0:49:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to happen.
678. 0:49:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And once again with the hydrology survey, you know all these other properties that somebody
679. 0:49:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript signed off on because saying everything would drain correctly, then it really didn't
680. 0:50:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript work for them either.
681. 0:50:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To me and my neighbors back here, this request of rezoning is a poster child for failure.
682. 0:50:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There are many tick marks which mirror the several subdivisions which have recently experienced
683. 0:50:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript flooding.
684. 0:50:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This property has had drainage flooding issues since the 90s and was previously used as farmland.
685. 0:50:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Traffic was expressed as a concern 20 years ago.
686. 0:50:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And Clarksville has grown by almost 70%.
687. 0:50:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There are 70,000 residents with many subdivisions built along Old Russellville Pike, Cave Road
688. 0:50:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and Dunbar Cave Road with very few road modifications to accommodate these builds.
689. 0:50:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We ask that you don't make another example of a failed infrastructure.
690. 0:50:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is not a case of responsible orderly growth.
691. 0:50:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a request that benefits one property while shifting costs and consequences on surrounding
692. 0:50:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript neighborhoods.
693. 0:50:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The residents, many living in the subdivision for over 20 years, relied on the existing
694. 0:50:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript R1 zoning when purchasing their homes and that reliance deserves consideration.
695. 0:50:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We respect that.
696. 0:50:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We ask that you deny the rezoning of [address omitted; hear it in the video at this time] from R1 to R2A.
697. 0:51:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We present our concerns and desires as homeowners and the decision is in your hands.
698. 0:51:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thanks for your time.
699. 0:51:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CHAIRMAN BRYANT.
700. 0:51:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Noll.
701. 0:51:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman.
702. 0:51:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
703. 0:51:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
704. 0:51:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CHAIRMAN BRYANT.
705. 0:51:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CHAIRMAN BRYANT.
706. 0:51:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ladies and gentlemen.
707. 0:51:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman.
708. 0:51:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
709. 0:51:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
710. 0:51:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was going to wait and mention this in the part where we're discussing it in a bit,
711. 0:51:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but since both you and the Speaker beforehand talked about the traffic on Old Russellville,
712. 0:51:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the previous Speaker also specifically talked about it.
713. 0:51:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can tell you that that's something that I've been talking with the street department
714. 0:51:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about is that intersection right there.
715. 0:51:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Talking to him prior to this zoning case even coming forward, knowing that as one of the
716. 0:51:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript people that lives over there said, and I can agree with this statement, that taking a left
717. 0:51:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript turn there is like playing a game of chicken.
718. 0:51:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It can be, you know, very difficult to make a turn no matter which of the two roads you're
719. 0:51:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on or which direction you're coming from.
720. 0:51:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that is something that I've already had that conversation with.
721. 0:51:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And looking to possibly put a, get a four-way stop in there.
722. 0:52:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know it's not a traffic light, and that is in the Transportation 2020 Plus plan.
723. 0:52:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But a four-way stop is something that we can move on much more quickly and could very well
724. 0:52:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript serve as a way to help that traffic flow much better, just as we've done downtown many years
725. 0:52:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ago in taking out all the stoplights that were downtown and converting them into four-way
726. 0:52:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript stops.
727. 0:52:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So hopefully that's something, regardless of what happens tonight or going forward,
728. 0:52:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we can do with this development, that we can get done to be able to help the situation
729. 0:52:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript out there.
730. 0:52:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
731. 0:52:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can I respond back?
732. 0:52:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know if I've got to shut up now or if I've got to, I can respond back.
733. 0:52:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
734. 0:52:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, respond, please.
735. 0:52:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
736. 0:52:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
737. 0:52:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
738. 0:52:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Here's the thing is, yeah, that'll be great there at old Russellville, but four-way stop,
739. 0:52:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, that traffic, they're backed up 10 deep already.
740. 0:52:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So you put a stop sign there, that's, yeah, not going to really make it any better.
741. 0:52:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Plus who pays attention to stop signs?
742. 0:52:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
743. 0:52:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
744. 0:52:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
745. 0:52:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Cave road, not fair.
746. 0:53:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Cave road is another road that you can't get out on.
747. 0:53:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's so many roads along that highway you cannot get out on.
748. 0:53:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Matter of fact, even the people, a lot of people that live in our subdivision, they'll
749. 0:53:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript go down old Russellville and take another way instead of trying to go out because you'll
750. 0:53:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sit there sometimes five, 10 minutes.
751. 0:53:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not unusual.
752. 0:53:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I mean, some sort of traffic study or survey needs to be done in that area.
753. 0:53:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
754. 0:53:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, just to be clear, I would imagine the traffic backs up.
755. 0:53:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
756. 0:53:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Five, 10 cars deep because they can't get out.
757. 0:53:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Correct?
758. 0:53:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
759. 0:53:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's a big part where I get across.
760. 0:53:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
761. 0:53:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
762. 0:53:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Which is where a four-way stop would assist in moving that traffic.
763. 0:53:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I want to believe you, but I know a lot about traffic, and people got to pay attention
764. 0:53:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript first.
765. 0:53:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
766. 0:53:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think that's the case.
767. 0:53:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
768. 0:53:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it would back them up from Dunbar Cave Road, too, from Wilma Rudolph, which
769. 0:53:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is one of the top 10 crash intersections in Clarksville.
770. 0:53:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
771. 0:53:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
772. 0:53:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
773. 0:53:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
774. 0:53:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith, you're recognized. Called on: Wanda Smith
775. 0:54:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
776. 0:54:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
777. 0:54:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Null.
778. 0:54:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
779. 0:54:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, ma'am.
780. 0:54:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you for coming forth and standing up for your community.
781. 0:54:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I hear your pain.
782. 0:54:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You said that you didn't get any questions answered from the people that y'all had the
783. 0:54:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript meeting with.
784. 0:54:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
785. 0:54:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Not really, ma'am.
786. 0:54:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
787. 0:54:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
788. 0:54:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So what would you like for them to do to ensure that it would not flood again if they decide
789. 0:54:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to build?
790. 0:54:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What would you like to hear?
791. 0:54:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, ma'am, I'm first one to say I'm not an engineer.
792. 0:54:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
793. 0:54:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
794. 0:54:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So people smarter than me have to figure that out.
795. 0:54:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mm-hmm.
796. 0:54:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
797. 0:54:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, you know, the thing is when you start talking about pushing this water
798. 0:54:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript back to the back of the property.
799. 0:54:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
800. 0:54:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the thing is the watershed does not end there.
801. 0:54:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This watershed actually collects from Old Trent Road out to Whitfield Road.
802. 0:54:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
803. 0:54:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
804. 0:54:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
805. 0:54:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the watershed, that's, we're at the bottom of the watershed at Old Russellville
806. 0:54:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Pike.
807. 0:54:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Whitfield, in that proximity, not exactly, I couldn't give you the exact place, but,
808. 0:54:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know, I've talked to an engineer also that used to work with this stuff.
809. 0:54:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, you know, that's got to be considered too.
810. 0:55:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And once again, stop, you know, stop the pain.
811. 0:55:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, because I'm one of the properties that it comes up like almost in my shed.
812. 0:55:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then one of my neighbors, it's like up in the middle of his property.
813. 0:55:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
814. 0:55:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
815. 0:55:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
816. 0:55:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, ma'am.
817. 0:55:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
818. 0:55:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
819. 0:55:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
820. 0:55:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
821. 0:55:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Noll.
822. 0:55:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
823. 0:55:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
824. 0:55:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
825. 0:55:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Our City Code allows for rebuttal.
826. 0:55:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you're in favor of Ordinance 47 and wish to offer rebuttal, we have, we can have one
827. 0:55:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript person speak.
828. 0:55:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have three minutes.
829. 0:55:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Riccone.
830. 0:55:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Give us your name, please.
831. 0:55:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
832. 0:55:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Larry Riccone.
833. 0:55:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And everything's falling out.
834. 0:55:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've got to keep my time straight.
835. 0:55:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
836. 0:55:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was actually going to address that.
837. 0:55:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When a person says it's been flooding since 2001 and the land has been the same, we're
838. 0:55:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript giving you a solution.
839. 0:55:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And what we've presented is a solution.
840. 0:55:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it's a solution that's needed.
841. 0:55:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And one thing, I want to address what was said.
842. 0:55:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have my notes here.
843. 0:55:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have a question.
844. 0:55:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have a great question.
845. 0:55:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, I'm an attorney, so they get.
846. 0:56:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
847. 0:56:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Riccone, get in front of the microphone.
848. 0:56:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
849. 0:56:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sorry.
850. 0:56:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
851. 0:56:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
852. 0:56:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
853. 0:56:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, the liability and, you know, you hear that name, you hear that word and
854. 0:56:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you get nervous.
855. 0:56:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, so we're tracking.
856. 0:56:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The hydrology study was done and it identified multiple issues.
857. 0:56:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The site plan, he has to, the developer has to capture and maintain the water on theirs.
858. 0:56:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What we're talking about is we can.
859. 0:56:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We can easily do that.
860. 0:56:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've identified the extra problem that these people are experiencing now is this pipe that
861. 0:56:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is not on the property being purchased.
862. 0:56:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think maybe that was lost somewhere in here.
863. 0:56:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That pipe that's clogged is not on the land that's going to be purchased.
864. 0:56:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And Mr. I keep, I keep calling this the wrong thing.
865. 0:56:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But Chris is going to work with the city to help fix that.
866. 0:56:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But when you talk about developing this piece of land, we're going to adhere to all the
867. 0:56:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript criteria.
868. 0:56:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we have hydrology studies that we know we can adhere to that.
869. 0:56:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And to the neighbors, I get that there's a park behind you and nobody's developed it.
870. 0:57:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But you look at it, it's a square.
871. 0:57:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a perfect rectangle.
872. 0:57:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the neighborhood to the north has a stub street into this grassy knoll.
873. 0:57:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was supposed to be developed.
874. 0:57:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was always going to be developed.
875. 0:57:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The city's laid it out.
876. 0:57:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The RPC's talked about it.
877. 0:57:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's in the growth plan.
878. 0:57:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's in the master plan.
879. 0:57:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You wouldn't have a stub street if it wasn't going to be used at some point.
880. 0:57:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we've given the city an opportunity to let these people sell their family farm, to
881. 0:57:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript let it be used and enjoyed by a whole other set of families, to let these neighbors here
882. 0:57:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have new friends and have new kids for their kids to play with, to fix a drainage problem
883. 0:57:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on this land.
884. 0:57:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we've also have a solution now that fixes it for the adjacent properties, for things
885. 0:57:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that this is not even pushing water to.
886. 0:57:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's really important.
887. 0:57:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think that's the dichotomy here.
888. 0:57:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Maybe that was missed a little bit in the way I presented it, and I apologize.
889. 0:58:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But this, it can be fixed.
890. 0:58:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And when it's fixed, there's actually, through all the extra work that was done, we've identified
891. 0:58:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a secondary fix that will alleviate problems.
892. 0:58:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it is the appropriate step down zone to go from R1 to R4 because most people aren't
893. 0:58:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript going to put R4.
894. 0:58:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, most people aren't going to develop an R1.
895. 0:58:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But R1, that backs up to that R4 that's already there.
896. 0:58:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're going to want some kind of downgrade zone there.
897. 0:58:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we ask you to agree.
898. 0:58:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Riccone.
899. 0:58:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have a question.
900. 0:58:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato, you're recognized. Called on: Keri Lovato
901. 0:58:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
902. 0:58:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Riccone, can you just remind me, under the current zoning, how many homes can be
903. 0:58:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript built on that property?
904. 0:58:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're projecting the current zone was 35.
905. 0:58:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thirty-five.
906. 0:58:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thirty-five.
907. 0:58:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's the current zone.
908. 0:58:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if your rezoning gets approved, how many will go on there?
909. 0:58:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Plus 14.
910. 0:58:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So 49.
911. 0:58:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, 49.
912. 0:58:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Actually, I think the RPC, Mr. Tindall, testified or submitted to y'all, not testified, 48.
913. 0:59:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Our count was 49.
914. 0:59:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I'd love to say 48.
915. 0:59:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We count 49.
916. 0:59:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So 14 more.
917. 0:59:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So 14 additional homes with rezoning.
918. 0:59:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
919. 0:59:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have.
920. 0:59:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
921. 0:59:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
922. 0:59:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized for Mr. Riccone.
923. 0:59:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
924. 0:59:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know if you'd be able to answer this.
925. 0:59:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But Mr. Riccone?
926. 0:59:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript My question's going to be, going from 35 lots to 49, you're still going to have that
927. 0:59:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript expense of building all this.
928. 0:59:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I don't know if you know, how much would that add to the price of each house that's
929. 0:59:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript being built out there to stay at 35 compared to the 49, or making houses affordable, kind
930. 0:59:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of?
931. 0:59:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The best-case scenario, as it sits, which is developing the property.
932. 0:59:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Pursuant to the plans and all the current code, is at least an additional $209,000 that
933. 0:59:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a builder-developer would not incur, except for the water issue that we've identified.
934. 1:00:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that really doesn't even address, again, the secondary issue is the pipe that's not
935. 1:00:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript even on this property.
936. 1:00:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So an additional $209,000.
937. 1:00:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if you say 14 houses, and I was doing that earlier today in my office, it's $10,000-$15,000
938. 1:00:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript per house.
939. 1:00:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So what do you do?
940. 1:00:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You either make a smaller house.
941. 1:00:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
942. 1:00:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if you're in that neighborhood, you may not want a smaller house behind you, so property
943. 1:00:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript values go down, or you build a poor-quality house.
944. 1:00:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And Mr. Blackwell doesn't want to build a poor-quality house because he's going to stand
945. 1:00:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript here and he'll hear it again.
946. 1:00:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it was a pretty, you know, telling point, is that, you know, he's here, and it comes
947. 1:00:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript back.
948. 1:00:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, if you're in here developing a piece of property that's bad, why do it?
949. 1:00:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just go somewhere else.
950. 1:00:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
951. 1:00:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
952. 1:00:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it would add about $15,000 per house to the . . .
953. 1:00:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, $209 divided by 14, I don't . . .
954. 1:00:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
955. 1:00:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I didn't . . .
956. 1:00:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can't do that one either.
957. 1:01:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
958. 1:01:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
959. 1:01:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sure.
960. 1:01:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clonch, you're recognized.
961. 1:01:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
962. 1:01:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sir, I assume that you're Mr. Blackwell's attorney for . . .
963. 1:01:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
964. 1:01:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How many cases in a subdivision have you had to represent for him in court of stuff
965. 1:01:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript wasn't done, and there was an issue . . .
966. 1:01:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
967. 1:01:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Zero.
968. 1:01:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One more time?
969. 1:01:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Zero.
970. 1:01:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Zero.
971. 1:01:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then how many years has Mr. Blackwell been a builder in Clarksville, Tennessee?
972. 1:01:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do not know that.
973. 1:01:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'd say over 20 years.
974. 1:01:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He's younger than I am.
975. 1:01:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've been here 30.
976. 1:01:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I don't mean to put you on the spot.
977. 1:01:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No.
978. 1:01:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm old.
979. 1:01:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's okay.
980. 1:01:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No.
981. 1:01:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm old, too.
982. 1:01:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if you had to guess, how many houses has he built in that . . . over 20 years?
983. 1:01:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Over 10,000?
984. 1:01:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Over 15,000?
985. 1:01:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, I mean, I would think over . . . let's see.
986. 1:01:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In Clarksville, a builder that is building a bunch can build about 200.
987. 1:02:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's in today's market.
988. 1:02:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I mean, I couldn't venture a guess.
989. 1:02:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 5,000, probably more than that.
990. 1:02:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, 5,000 . . . I mean, I can cheat from the audience, 5,000 plus or minus.
991. 1:02:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you've never had to represent him in court for an issue with a house or subdivision that
992. 1:02:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he's built and at the low end of . . . swag number is 5,000.
993. 1:02:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can unequivocally state to you that I've never represented Mr. Blackwell on any matter
994. 1:02:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript other than presenting to the RPC or to this body or to a governing body or something like
995. 1:02:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that.
996. 1:02:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Never defended him for a negligent construction case.
997. 1:02:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Never.
998. 1:02:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I can tell you without selling names, I do that work and I have been involved for
999. 1:02:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript builders on construction cases.
1000. 1:02:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1001. 1:02:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
1002. 1:02:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
1003. 1:02:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Cicchino, have you recognized?
1004. 1:02:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
1005. 1:02:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, Mayor.
1006. 1:02:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have a question for you, Mayor.
1007. 1:02:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was going to wait until we go back into . . . get out of public session, but this reference
1008. 1:03:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the flooding on Old Russellville Pike, the road itself, and then now with this new
1009. 1:03:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thing, with this pipe that runs under the railroad tracks that's part of the city's
1010. 1:03:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript stuff.
1011. 1:03:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, if this floods in the future, that's the city's problem, right?
1012. 1:03:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, it is a city road.
1013. 1:03:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Old Russellville Pike is obviously a city road.
1014. 1:03:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
1015. 1:03:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, the question I have, is it a city pipe because it's on railroad right of way?
1016. 1:03:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
1017. 1:03:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm not going to get into that debate tonight.
1018. 1:03:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
1019. 1:03:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
1020. 1:03:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because we're talking rezoning.
1021. 1:03:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I'm not sure it's the city's pipe.
1022. 1:03:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
1023. 1:03:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1024. 1:03:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
1025. 1:03:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
1026. 1:03:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you're recognized. Called on: Ambar Marquis
1027. 1:03:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
1028. 1:03:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I guess let's go the opposite way because we spoke about the homes being either less
1029. 1:03:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or quality.
1030. 1:03:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What about if they're more expensive?
1031. 1:03:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Being an attorney, I'm sure you've seen changes in like socioeconomic with regards to neighborhoods.
1032. 1:04:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What does expensive communities do next to older communities?
1033. 1:04:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can you speak on that?
1034. 1:04:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can you ask me the last part I lost?
1035. 1:04:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
1036. 1:04:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
1037. 1:04:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I said, what happens if a developer puts in an expensive community next to an older community
1038. 1:04:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in order to make up the cost?
1039. 1:04:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because it goes two ways.
1040. 1:04:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It goes either cheaper material or it goes less.
1041. 1:04:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
1042. 1:04:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, I mean, we're involved in that and we do a bunch of transactions.
1043. 1:04:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, it's funny.
1044. 1:04:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have a realtor in here who's going to present a case on his own here in a little
1045. 1:04:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript bit.
1046. 1:04:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I tell people that everybody will call me and say, hey, what's this house worth?
1047. 1:04:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I tell them, I don't really know because I only see a legal square.
1048. 1:04:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I never actually see the property.
1049. 1:04:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I represent builders.
1050. 1:04:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I represent developers.
1051. 1:04:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we work with them.
1052. 1:04:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm in conjunction.
1053. 1:04:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, to what you're saying, you know, if you have a neighborhood with $300,000 houses and
1054. 1:05:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you say have a vacant piece of land and you have R4, a rational developer isn't going
1055. 1:05:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to put million-dollar houses in there because you're not going to want to have a million-dollar
1056. 1:05:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript house next to a $300,000 house next to a quadplex.
1057. 1:05:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mm-hmm.
1058. 1:05:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, builders and developers look at the surrounding, area and the surrounding, and you try to match
1059. 1:05:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to that level.
1060. 1:05:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1061. 1:05:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But then, but again, in this case, if they build 35 homes, they have to tax on the additional
1062. 1:05:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript increase from somewhere.
1063. 1:05:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, these homes have to cost something higher.
1064. 1:05:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
1065. 1:05:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What, so, because it will, I don't think it will be a million-dollar house.
1066. 1:05:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But what even, I don't, I'm not sure what exactly the average is out there.
1067. 1:05:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But anything slightly higher than that, will that affect the neighborhood?
1068. 1:05:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, I mean, I, well, I mean, if you're going to do, if, I'm trying to answer your question,
1069. 1:05:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I'm not going to mislead you and I'm not going to take like a wild guess.
1070. 1:06:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're going to have to look at it as an economic model.
1071. 1:06:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's why I said these poor people can't, can't sell their farm now.
1072. 1:06:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mm-hmm.
1073. 1:06:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because you can't go throw a house that costs more than the market in that area can
1074. 1:06:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript bear to make up $209,000.
1075. 1:06:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, the person buying a house isn't going to say, well, I'm sorry you spent that and
1076. 1:06:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll pay you more to make up for it.
1077. 1:06:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mm-hmm.
1078. 1:06:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, it has to work.
1079. 1:06:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And those houses are going to be commiserate to the houses in that area.
1080. 1:06:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's kind of how you would, would price it.
1081. 1:06:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're not going to be extraordinarily cheaper.
1082. 1:06:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're not going to be extraordinarily higher.
1083. 1:06:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mm-hmm.
1084. 1:06:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, comparable.
1085. 1:06:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, I mean, I, Mr. Blackwell would have to.
1086. 1:06:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it has to be comparable.
1087. 1:06:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, to the surrounding areas.
1088. 1:06:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.

1139. 1:11:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript could come in and put a towing company in there uh there would be a lot of traffic in and out of
1140. 1:11:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there non-residential company back there they you could but you can't there's no way you could yeah
1141. 1:11:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript places to put stuff right yeah but not just a towing company it's a whole i know the whole
1142. 1:11:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um that whole side of the rock quarry is zoned that i live in the same zone um
1143. 1:11:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript lived there since what 1940 i believe it's a family bought the whole cul-de-sac one side
1144. 1:11:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of the family lived on one side another side lived on the other we all know each other it's
1145. 1:11:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript two or three houses in the back that we're not familiar with and that's what we're talking about
1146. 1:11:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are just those lots we were under the impression that he wouldn't was just going to build a nice
1147. 1:12:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript single family home and i think it's two or three of the long skinny houses that are everywhere
1148. 1:12:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript around town i would just like to be able to live on a normal street with a normal amount of traffic
1149. 1:12:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript without 30 more cars coming in and out of this road and if you're familiar with that road you
1150. 1:12:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would know exactly what i'm speaking about yeah i've been down there but
1151. 1:12:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right now i'm just thinking a commercial business could go in there that could have a whole lot more
1152. 1:12:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript traffic than what you know a couple houses would have and that's what i'm afraid of next to them as
1153. 1:12:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript well right i think that's what they're gonna do so it's just gonna be a a lot then if this one
1154. 1:12:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript passes as well and this will be the third year two years it's voted no i think unanimously
1155. 1:12:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um so this is the third time we're up here
1156. 1:12:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right i believe it was requested r4 the last time which would have had more there have been more
1157. 1:13:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript doors than what this would allow and that's that was turned down but okay thank you councilman smith

1162. 1:13:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there and you would not be able to sleep it can bring in more noise it could bring in more

1166. 1:14:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript make a choice i'm i'm all for a home not you for a home right three or four homes but i don't
1167. 1:14:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript understand why we're stacking homes anywhere they will fit why can't we have a normal neighborhood
1168. 1:14:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with a normal house but that would make it look like a normal neighborhood if you add more houses
1169. 1:14:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ma'am you see what i'm saying

1176. 1:14:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and last year he said he was just going to build a single house so i i think i thought he said he
1177. 1:14:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was just going to remodel that house and if he added another house that would be helpful to the
1178. 1:15:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript neighborhood i think yeah one house would be fabulous okay all right okay thank you councilman

1255. 1:22:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i i do see this as a possible solution to that to that issue uh i also
1256. 1:22:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript appreciate theplain and the parent of a uh of a young man who this would be perfect
1257. 1:22:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for and we wouldn't have to move him forward you can see my house on this picture okay um but
1258. 1:22:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pembroke road is narrow there is no shoulder it it's a drop off we lost a child on that road uh
1259. 1:22:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript across the state line um because of the conditions of that road and how frequently it gets used not
1260. 1:22:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not only by people going to, I made a mistake last week and mentioned a business by name,
1261. 1:23:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but we'll call it a rodent-themed mega gas station that's going to be at the end of this road.
1262. 1:23:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that is going to put a lot of cars on that road.
1263. 1:23:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's also a ton of traffic going to Fort Campbell in the morning to avoid the tiny town Fort Campbell Boulevard intersection.
1264. 1:23:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry I contributed to that traffic for several years, but I don't mind tiny homes.
1265. 1:23:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mind tiny homes right here at this specific location.
1266. 1:23:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So for that, I'm going to be a no, but I can see why people would be in favor of this.
1267. 1:23:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, thank you.
1268. 1:23:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman, I really do appreciate that.
1269. 1:23:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, there's probably some more industrial things going in out there that are going to need workers here soon.
1270. 1:23:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we do think that would be a great place versus, y'all remember Hemlock going up and it turned into Google.
1271. 1:23:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript People were renting RVs and people were staying in RV homes.
1272. 1:24:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there was a lot of traffic out there.
1273. 1:24:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I had developers renting land to people out there.
1274. 1:24:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, again, you know, I respect this board and this committee,
1275. 1:24:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I'll be the first to say that we're not going to always agree on everything,
1276. 1:24:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we shouldn't always agree on everything, and I respect your opinion.
1277. 1:24:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And by having different views, we get to a better answer.
1278. 1:24:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I respectfully think this should go today and respect your opinion on it and, you know,
1279. 1:24:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and certainly take that to heart.
1280. 1:24:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.

1283. 1:24:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Riccone, just for clarity, because we're talking about 2.9, 2 acres roughly, right?
1284. 1:24:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And are we still looking at 35 units?
1285. 1:24:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How many units are we looking at?
1286. 1:24:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think the estimate was 47 was the estimate.
1287. 1:24:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we have a drawing that we've submitted.
1288. 1:24:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can kind of count those on there.
1289. 1:24:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we're talking about putting behind the houses maybe some playground or exercise equipment
1290. 1:24:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to have something to do.
1291. 1:24:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it shows you the two different layouts.
1292. 1:25:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One's bigger than the other.
1293. 1:25:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's why there's two different price points.
1294. 1:25:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
1295. 1:25:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'd love to tell you 35, but right now we're showing 47.
1296. 1:25:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1297. 1:25:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
1298. 1:25:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.

1302. 1:25:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sir, I appreciate the drawing to kind of show us what it's going to look like.
1303. 1:25:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What did you say the price point was for rent?
1304. 1:25:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 800, I mean 600 to 800.
1305. 1:25:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 600 to $800.
1306. 1:25:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1307. 1:25:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I appreciate that as well with the location, proximity to Fort Campbell, Kentucky,
1308. 1:25:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript some of the other things that are going to potentially be in that area.
1309. 1:25:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think if I'm out of order in what I'm about to say, I will stop.
