  1. 0:00:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the April 30th, 2026 executive session of the Clarksville City Council.
  2. 0:00:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Before we get into our planning commission report, Kristen Wilcox, our chief financial officer,
  3. 0:00:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript will introduce our guest who will make a presentation that is very timely and very important.
  4. 0:00:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, Ms. Wilcox, you're recognized.
  5. 0:00:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  6. 0:00:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Tonight we have our financial advisor from PFM.
  7. 0:00:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Her name is Lauren Lowe.
  8. 0:00:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Lauren Lowe, she's going to be giving you an update on the property tax cap legislation that has been coming up for the past few years.
  9. 0:00:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It did fail in this session, but we expect it to come again.
  10. 0:00:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, Lauren's just going to give you an update on that.
  11. 0:00:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  12. 0:00:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  13. 0:00:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As we used to say in the legislature, nothing dies in Nashville.
  14. 0:01:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It just kind of sleeps for a year.
  15. 0:01:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's right.
  16. 0:01:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Good afternoon.
  17. 0:01:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As Kristen said, I'm Lauren Lowe with PFM Financial Advisors.
  18. 0:01:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We serve as an independent advisor to the city.
  19. 0:01:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I believe you all have the presentations visible.
  20. 0:01:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will try to keep clicking through as well as turning my own pages as we go through the materials.
  21. 0:01:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, as Kristen mentioned, we have been tracking the legislation as it relates to sort of the practical implication of this legislation.
  22. 0:01:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, when it did fail, we started already teed this up to talk about it, so we just kept it on the agenda.
  23. 0:01:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, moving forward, and some of you may be aware of this, so I'll try to keep it a pretty quick clip, but still be informative.
  24. 0:01:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, from our records, this concept of a property tax cap,
  25. 0:01:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in Tennessee, was first introduced in late 2023 for the 24th legislative session.
  26. 0:01:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Obviously, it has not been in place into effect, but since then, each year, we've sort of seen various versions of that bill come and before the legislature.
  27. 0:01:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Most recently, with the 2026 session, which is now adjourned.
  28. 0:02:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I'm going to talk about the legislation that was proposed during this last session.
  29. 0:02:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It has been removed by its sponsor.
  30. 0:02:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript While we don't know if it's going to come back, I just felt like the reoccurrence of it felt like it was timely to revisit.
  31. 0:02:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Our information here talks about two kind of key elements in thinking about a property tax cap in Tennessee,
  32. 0:02:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is the potential for it impacting a local government's credit rating,
  33. 0:02:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as well as just the practical implications of what it would mean.
  34. 0:02:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Obviously, we don't know what it looks like now, but we can only look back and see what was being proposed.
  35. 0:02:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right, there we go.
  36. 0:02:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right, so this is what was the bill that was being proposed.
  37. 0:02:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It has now been removed.
  38. 0:02:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It capped the property tax revenue growth at 2% over the previous fiscal years, plus inflation.
  39. 0:02:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will note that there was...
  40. 0:02:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There was no definition of how inflation would be measured, when it would be measured, and by how,
  41. 0:02:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we recognize that that would be timely and part of the concept, so I don't have any directions.
  42. 0:02:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're going to actually exclude it from the conversation without further direction from a potential bill.
  43. 0:03:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The cap would have applied to total property tax receipts, not your assessed values or the tax base of the community.
  44. 0:03:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It does exclude a few things.
  45. 0:03:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would exclude any new properties that were constructed or came on the tax roll.
  46. 0:03:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, sort of organic growth happens.
  47. 0:03:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As is, that's totally fine.
  48. 0:03:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can capture that as it relates to property tax revenue growth, as well as any of the payments of your tax base,
  49. 0:03:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript your tax rates that goes to pay your debt obligations, because you've already committed to pay those,
  50. 0:03:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so that would get excluded.
  51. 0:03:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You could get over a 2% cap, but you had to go through several steps as a governing body.
  52. 0:03:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You would have to adopt a resolution stating the need to go above.
  53. 0:03:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would have to state why you needed it, how much, and for how long.
  54. 0:03:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would have to go to a voter referendum, and it would require 60% of the voter,
  55. 0:03:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it would only be approved for four consecutive years.
  56. 0:03:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This bill was asked to go into effect July 1 of this year.
  57. 0:03:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just to calm everybody's nerves, it's not in effect.
  58. 0:03:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I want to talk about the potential credit rating implications.
  59. 0:04:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is statewide, not specific to you, but a lot of information on this page.
  60. 0:04:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll try to hit you with the key points that you should know.
  61. 0:04:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For context, the city is rated by Moody's AA2 and Fitch AA+.
  62. 0:04:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can see that on a sliding scale in terms of investment grade.
  63. 0:04:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The city does have a strong credit rating.
  64. 0:04:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're not rated by S&P, but I'm going to refer to S&P in here,
  65. 0:04:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but for one reason only, the institutional framework score.
  66. 0:04:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, S&P and Moody's, which you are rated by Moody's,
  67. 0:04:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript has an institutional framework score, which really looks statewide.
  68. 0:04:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, every local government has the same score,
  69. 0:04:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no matter what your city, county, and the size of your jurisdiction.
  70. 0:04:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In Tennessee, Moody's and S&P both rate the institutional framework score as AAA,
  71. 0:04:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so the highest it can possibly be.
  72. 0:04:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That actually improves every local government's credit rating.
  73. 0:04:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We all get the benefit of it.
  74. 0:04:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Tennessee is only one of four states that actually has that credit rating of a AAA
  75. 0:04:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of the institutional framework score.
  76. 0:04:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The other ones are Georgia, Texas, and Utah.
  77. 0:05:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, why does this matter?
  78. 0:05:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'll talk about how they look at institutional framework score
  79. 0:05:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and how it correlates to property tax caps.
  80. 0:05:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ten percent of that score, so the city's credit rating for Moody's,
  81. 0:05:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ten percent is actually controlled by the institutional framework score,
  82. 0:05:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is actually the governance of the state of Tennessee.
  83. 0:05:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Something you all actually don't control.
  84. 0:05:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript S&P, while you're not rated by S&P, it's 12.5 percent.
  85. 0:05:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, just giving you continuity of that.
  86. 0:05:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, with that being said, why do we care and how could it impact the rating?
  87. 0:05:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's a lot of quotes on here,
  88. 0:05:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I'm going to hit you with the ones that I think were most important.
  89. 0:05:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript These are direct quotes by Moody's and S&P on their institutional framework score.
  90. 0:05:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, Moody's actually states that tax caps,
  91. 0:05:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which matter even if they do not limit increases in property tax cap revenues
  92. 0:05:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to pay debt service.
  93. 0:05:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A limitation of revenue raising can restrict financial flexibility.
  94. 0:05:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, we know when this legislation has continued to come up,
  95. 0:05:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we've talked to Moody's, they are looking at
  96. 0:05:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what does it actually mean from a practical implication?
  97. 0:05:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript S&P noted we're so relying on property tax revenues in Tennessee.
  98. 0:06:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a predictable revenue source
  99. 0:06:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and some limitation could just be a challenge
  100. 0:06:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as it relates to planning for a limit.
  101. 0:06:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And they also note that we're not a voter initiative state,
  102. 0:06:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which has actually been part of that.
  103. 0:06:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, Moody's is saying that we're not a voter initiative state,
  104. 0:06:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that would flip this out of that
  105. 0:06:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because to go over the 2%,
  106. 0:06:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you would have to get voter approval.
  107. 0:06:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, we can't say for sure what would happen
  108. 0:06:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if this law would have passed.
  109. 0:06:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We did confirm the rating agencies,
  110. 0:06:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all three of the major ones we've talked about today,
  111. 0:06:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript were watching it.
  112. 0:06:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They cannot tip their hat to where they think they would go,
  113. 0:06:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but they did say they are monitoring it
  114. 0:06:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for just the practical implications
  115. 0:06:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of what it would mean to live within a new regime.
  116. 0:06:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I'm going to talk a little bit more
  117. 0:06:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about the practical thoughts around a tax cap
  118. 0:06:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and thinking more about for you all,
  119. 0:06:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and your governing body,
  120. 0:06:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and how you've looked at property taxes in the past.
  121. 0:06:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, on the next page,
  122. 0:06:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we track the city's tax rates,
  123. 0:06:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript property tax revenues from 2020,
  124. 0:06:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I'm talking fiscal year.
  125. 0:06:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Please, I'll consistently use fiscal year
  126. 0:07:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you'll stick with me on that.
  127. 0:07:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Fiscal year 2020 through fiscal year 2026,
  128. 0:07:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it's all budgeted references here.
  129. 0:07:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You'll see the tax rate that was adopted
  130. 0:07:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript by the governing body,
  131. 0:07:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as well as the corresponding property tax revenues.
  132. 0:07:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the point that the column I want you to focus on
  133. 0:07:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is the year-over-year change.
  134. 0:07:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, from 21 to 22, be it fiscal year,
  135. 0:07:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the property tax revenues increased 25%.
  136. 0:07:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, some of that would have been
  137. 0:07:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on organic natural growth within your community,
  138. 0:07:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript your growing community,
  139. 0:07:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we'll talk about that further.
  140. 0:07:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript From 24 to 25, it was 55.7%,
  141. 0:07:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is an 18% increase over the year-over-year.
  142. 0:07:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yet again, there was organic growth,
  143. 0:07:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but there was a property tax rate increase.
  144. 0:07:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Similarly, in budget 2026,
  145. 0:07:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it was 9%, recognizing there was property tax,
  146. 0:07:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just organic growth, but there was a rate increase.
  147. 0:07:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, if you look at this sort of static column here,
  148. 0:07:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we noted there are three years
  149. 0:07:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in which we know we are outside of a cap.
  150. 0:08:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I've raised those because the years
  151. 0:08:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where you don't have a change in your property tax rate,
  152. 0:08:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript those are not going to get flagged.
  153. 0:08:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's when the tax rate actually changes.
  154. 0:08:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not about, so for I'll pick on the year
  155. 0:08:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from 23 to 24, that change of 4%
  156. 0:08:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was just organic growth,
  157. 0:08:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript growth within the community, from 45 to 47 million.
  158. 0:08:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, we want to say, what if this law
  159. 0:08:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would have been in place all of that time?
  160. 0:08:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What would we have done?
  161. 0:08:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What would it look like from a financial standpoint?
  162. 0:08:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I'll take the most current budget
  163. 0:08:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we're in right now.
  164. 0:08:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We noted the three years that we're going to talk about.
  165. 0:08:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Knowing that some of that is going to be organic growth,
  166. 0:08:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we looked at the averages,
  167. 0:08:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it was about a 4% organic growth
  168. 0:08:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that was happening on the property tax base anyway.
  169. 0:08:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, if we assume 4% is just going to grow,
  170. 0:08:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because people are building new homes
  171. 0:08:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or renovating homes, whatever it may be,
  172. 0:08:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript plus that 2% is going to limit you to 6%.
  173. 0:08:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, we did not impact this concept
  174. 0:08:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of inflation adjustment,
  175. 0:08:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because they didn't give us any direction
  176. 0:08:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on how that would look.
  177. 0:08:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, we picked on this year
  178. 0:08:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because it would have been a 9% increase.
  179. 0:09:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you would have imposed the 6% cap
  180. 0:09:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that I'm mentioning, so 4% just normal growth
  181. 0:09:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript versus 2% on the rate,
  182. 0:09:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript your budget would have been restricted
  183. 0:09:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to $59.1 million,
  184. 0:09:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or a shortfall or a difference of $1.5 million.
  185. 0:09:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Unless you chose to go to the voters.
  186. 0:09:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In the previous years, it's more noticeable,
  187. 0:09:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it's because of cumulative effect.
  188. 0:09:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, looking at the fiscal year 2025,
  189. 0:09:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that revenue number that came in was $55.7 million.
  190. 0:09:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We would have been limited
  191. 0:09:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if we would have compared to the previous 2024 fiscal year
  192. 0:09:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to something much lower of $49 million,
  193. 0:09:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which would have resulted in a gap of $5.8 million.
  194. 0:09:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, keeping that same,
  195. 0:09:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just 6% would all would be we could have planned for.
  196. 0:09:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then the last year that we calculated
  197. 0:09:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and looked at was FY2022,
  198. 0:09:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in which there was a change of 25%.
  199. 0:09:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If we would have had the tax cap imposed
  200. 0:09:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and assumed organic growth of 4%,
  201. 0:10:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it would have been capped at $36.5 million
  202. 0:10:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or $6.4 million shortage in revenues
  203. 0:10:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that would have had to have been adjusted
  204. 0:10:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript through the budget process
  205. 0:10:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or going to a voter referendum.
  206. 0:10:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, with that, we had started all this
  207. 0:10:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when it was a hot and heavy topic in Nashville.
  208. 0:10:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We kept the information relevant
  209. 0:10:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and wanted to share it with you all,
  210. 0:10:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we just adjusted the language accordingly
  211. 0:10:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript once we realized it came off the docket.
  212. 0:10:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As I noted, it is not being considered at this time,
  213. 0:10:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but considering the reoccurringness of this legislation,
  214. 0:10:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we did want to continue to share it
  215. 0:10:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with local governments across Tennessee.
  216. 0:10:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We don't know what future legislation could look like,
  217. 0:10:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but considering the reoccurring nature,
  218. 0:10:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it seems relevant to discuss.
  219. 0:10:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And our demonstrative purposes
  220. 0:10:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was really just to be informative.
  221. 0:10:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It does not factor in all the pieces
  222. 0:10:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that could come to play,
  223. 0:10:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because we don't have certainty on what those are,
  224. 0:10:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but we do know that it would be a new regime, if you will,
  225. 0:10:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that the rating agencies, at a minimum,
  226. 0:10:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have eyes on sort of what this could mean
  227. 0:10:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for practical implications for a local government.
  228. 0:10:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I'm happy to answer any questions,
  229. 0:11:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if I can answer them.
  230. 0:11:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Ms. Lowe.
  231. 0:11:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We do have a heavy agenda,
  232. 0:11:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but we have time for a couple of questions.
  233. 0:11:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anybody got a question?
  234. 0:11:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Given the standard that we would have to take it
  235. 0:11:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the voters,
  236. 0:11:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that the fact that our property tax bills
  237. 0:11:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript go out in September,
  238. 0:11:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it would be an impossibility
  239. 0:11:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to meet the standard?
  240. 0:11:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mayor, I would comment that the comments
  241. 0:11:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that came to that legislation
  242. 0:11:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript spoke directly to the timing concerns
  243. 0:11:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the effective date of this,
  244. 0:11:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that it was sort of impossible
  245. 0:11:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to make a budget
  246. 0:11:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and for a referendum.
  247. 0:11:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The timing sequence didn't sort of align,
  248. 0:11:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and so there was a lot of lack of clarity
  249. 0:11:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of how the practical process would go through.
  250. 0:11:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  251. 0:11:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith?
  252. 0:11:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  253. 0:11:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The person that proposed this tax cap,
  254. 0:11:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was there a reason why he wanted to propose this tax cap?
  255. 0:11:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You want my answer or her answer?
  256. 0:11:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The one.
  257. 0:11:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ms. Lowe?
  258. 0:11:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I can't speak because I'm not a lobbyist.
  259. 0:11:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't meet with the legislatures.
  260. 0:11:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just think that there's been a consistent theme
  261. 0:12:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of looking at limitations on taxes in Tennessee,
  262. 0:12:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I can't really tell where it's bubbling up from,
  263. 0:12:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but nonetheless, that seems like there's just a,
  264. 0:12:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that was sort of a theme,
  265. 0:12:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I can't really speak to it,
  266. 0:12:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it's been reoccurring.
  267. 0:12:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll withhold my comments until January.
  268. 0:12:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, okay.
  269. 0:12:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, thank you.
  270. 0:12:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  271. 0:12:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  272. 0:12:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ms. Lowe, thank you for the presentation.
  273. 0:12:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you all.
  274. 0:12:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And thank you for what PFM does for our city every single day.
  275. 0:12:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You are really and truly an asset to our finance department
  276. 0:12:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and our entire city government.
  277. 0:12:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  278. 0:12:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Happy to be of service.
  279. 0:12:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you all.
  280. 0:12:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  281. 0:12:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're now ready for the Planning Commission report.
  282. 0:12:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall?
  283. 0:12:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Care to comment on the property tax cap?
  284. 0:12:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, you don't have enough time.
  285. 0:12:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, okay.
  286. 0:12:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript First item is Ordinance, Item A, Ordinance 51, 2025-26.
  287. 0:13:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall?
  288. 0:13:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  289. 0:13:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Several cases here this month.
  290. 0:13:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This one is a repeat from a few months ago.
  291. 0:13:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The City Council remanded it back to the Planning Commission
  292. 0:13:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to allow the developer and applicant to work with the Planning Commission
  293. 0:13:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to come up with a zone that was more agreeable
  294. 0:13:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to what they heard from City Council.
  295. 0:13:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This originally came in as R3,
  296. 0:13:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they're requesting this time for C3,
  297. 0:13:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this is 0.55 acres at the intersection of Rossview Road
  298. 0:13:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the new intersection of Dunbar Cave Road.
  299. 0:13:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's currently R1, requesting C2.
  300. 0:13:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is a single-family residential lot with a home on site.
  301. 0:13:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is in Council Ward No. 11.
  302. 0:13:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is in the St. Bethlehem Planning Area.
  303. 0:13:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Rezoning for this neighborhood commercial to serve the neighborhood
  304. 0:13:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the nearby residents is the applicant's statement.
  305. 0:13:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can see the school complex across the street.
  306. 0:13:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the new alignment of Dunbar Cave.
  307. 0:13:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript New aerials just got released this week,
  308. 0:13:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so hopefully next month we'll start seeing the 2026 aerials on our photographs.
  309. 0:14:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there's the zoning map of the area.
  310. 0:14:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, we've got to get the new right-of-way cut in
  311. 0:14:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with the Assessor's Office on that.
  312. 0:14:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is identified as a neighborhood commercial area,
  313. 0:14:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and C1 commercial would definitely fit that purpose.
  314. 0:14:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And here's the current zoning of the area
  315. 0:14:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with two mobile home parcels.
  316. 0:14:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've got two mobile home parcels behind it,
  317. 0:14:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript an office parcel to the east in the pink,
  318. 0:14:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and largely R1 single-family around it.
  319. 0:14:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's the intersection that was wrapping up.
  320. 0:14:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript These pictures were from three months ago
  321. 0:14:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when this originally came in.
  322. 0:14:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The cones have been picked up by this point.
  323. 0:14:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there's the property in question is that corner,
  324. 0:14:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that's looking south at Dunbar Cave Road.
  325. 0:14:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Department comments.
  326. 0:14:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No gravity sewers in the area.
  327. 0:15:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It will have to be a forced main from this property to the system.
  328. 0:15:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This was below C2.
  329. 0:15:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The threshold for a traffic assessment,
  330. 0:15:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but the access ordinance determines that only one driveway
  331. 0:15:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript be permitted on Dunbar Cave Road
  332. 0:15:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as far away from the signal as possible.
  333. 0:15:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There were no other concerns from other departments.
  334. 0:15:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Disregard the section where we accidentally left the eight.
  335. 0:15:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It might not be on your report, but it was on my report.
  336. 0:15:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We left the population at eight there.
  337. 0:15:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That was from the previous R3.
  338. 0:15:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The staff's recommendation is for approval.
  339. 0:15:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The request is consistent with the overall goals and objectives
  340. 0:15:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of the comprehensive plan.
  341. 0:15:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The parcel is designated neighborhood commercial
  342. 0:15:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and on the adopted land use opinion map.
  343. 0:15:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This designation is intended to serve surrounding residents
  344. 0:15:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript by providing small-scale neighborhood-oriented goods and services,
  345. 0:15:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the proposed C1 neighborhood commercial zoning district
  346. 0:15:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript aligns with this future designation identified for this parcel.
  347. 0:15:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Planning Commission also recommends approval.
  348. 0:15:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Tindall.
  349. 0:15:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato, you're recognized.
  350. 0:16:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  351. 0:16:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall, this says that it's for neighborhood commercial.
  352. 0:16:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To serve the nearby residents.
  353. 0:16:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But in C1, can you remind me if any residential would be allowed to go in there?
  354. 0:16:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, you don't get a lot of C1.
  355. 0:16:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript C1 does not allow for any residential.
  356. 0:16:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's small-scale offices, retail, restaurant, that kind of level of stuff.
  357. 0:16:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So no apartment buildings or anything like that would be allowed in the C1.
  358. 0:16:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have.
  359. 0:16:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  360. 0:16:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anyone else have a question about this ordinance?
  361. 0:16:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Next is Item B, Ordinance 58, 2025-26.
  362. 0:16:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall.
  363. 0:16:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is Planning Commission Case Z2-2026, Application of Infinity Investments, LLC.
  364. 0:16:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is just over 20 acres, 20.16 acres, currently zoned R1 and requesting to go to R3.
  365. 0:16:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's located at the western frontage of Seven Mile Ferry Road, approximately 1,450 feet south of Pumping Station Road,
  366. 0:17:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that is just south of the bypass,
  367. 0:17:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which just shows up on the very top of this map.
  368. 0:17:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is a tract of land with steep slope and moderate topography and is currently wooded.
  369. 0:17:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is in Council Ward Number 7.
  370. 0:17:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is in the South Clarksville Planning Area.
  371. 0:17:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The applicant's statement is to provide affordable housing on this property.
  372. 0:17:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The extra density will help with some topographical challenges on this property.
  373. 0:17:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would be an extension of existing R3 to the east and the west of this lot.
  374. 0:17:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This would connect the two R3 areas.
  375. 0:17:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We don't often put these maps on, except for when there's cases like this,
  376. 0:17:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where we feel it's important for this information.
  377. 0:17:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the FEMA flood zone.
  378. 0:17:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is not just a localized flood zone.
  379. 0:17:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the dark blue you see on that map is the floodway of the actual Cumberland River,
  380. 0:17:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then the AE zone is that 100-year flood zone,
  381. 0:17:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the 2% possibility of flooding out there.
  382. 0:18:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's important to see this map.
  383. 0:18:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You'll see the R3 to the west,
  384. 0:18:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then there's a single parcel and another parcel over by the pumping station.
  385. 0:18:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's a very large area of R3.
  386. 0:18:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But there's no real logistical way to get from the west to this property
  387. 0:18:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript without a very expensive bridge.
  388. 0:18:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript At the Planning Commission, the applicant did state that they wanted to look into that,
  389. 0:18:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so we did defer it last month,
  390. 0:18:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript deferred it an additional month for them to study it,
  391. 0:18:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and no determination came back that they would do that.
  392. 0:18:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They have indicated they would try to come up further up 7 Mile Ferry Road,
  393. 0:18:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we'll show you those pictures in a minute.
  394. 0:18:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So again, very wide floodway to Cumberland,
  395. 0:18:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then there's a bridge across.
  396. 0:18:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You don't just cross this with a culvert.
  397. 0:18:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's a bridge if you have to cross that area.
  398. 0:18:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Here's the future land use map,
  399. 0:18:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript suburban neighborhood in the light blue,
  400. 0:18:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or sorry, light yellow,
  401. 0:18:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the Conservation Club down there in the green for open space and recreation,
  402. 0:18:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then commercial industrial hybrid along the bypass to the north.
  403. 0:18:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And here's the current zoning map.
  404. 0:19:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Fairly agrees with that, C5 and M1 to the north,
  405. 0:19:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript R1 around this and some residual R3,
  406. 0:19:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript especially to the east.
  407. 0:19:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The R3 to the west has been developed as triplexes over its life.
  408. 0:19:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's pretty much the piece of property that touches 7 Mile Ferry Road.
  409. 0:19:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is a pretty steep slope there.
  410. 0:19:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You would have to grade it and meander up to the developable portion of the property,
  411. 0:19:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is at the top.
  412. 0:19:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the current 7 Mile Ferry Road.
  413. 0:19:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Exists somewhere between 16 and 18 feet of pavement,
  414. 0:19:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript maybe 19 in some select areas
  415. 0:19:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as you go down to the Conservation Club,
  416. 0:19:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is to your back here.
  417. 0:19:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there's looking down to the Conservation Club
  418. 0:19:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at the potential access to this property.
  419. 0:19:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Department comments, no gravity sewers available.
  420. 0:19:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's a possible offsite sewer lift station upgrades would be required with this application.
  421. 0:20:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A traffic assessment was required due to the proposed acreage,
  422. 0:20:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it was received and in compliance with the traffic study guidelines.
  423. 0:20:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We'll report on that a little more here in a minute.
  424. 0:20:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CDE Lightband said contact them for an electrical plan on the property.
  425. 0:20:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's more of a development side of things.
  426. 0:20:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Historic estimates would put this at 100 units.
  427. 0:20:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We realize that's probably high due to the topography.
  428. 0:20:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The applicant's estimate is 74 single family houses.
  429. 0:20:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Staff does recommend disapproval on this.
  430. 0:20:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The request is inconsistent with the overall goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
  431. 0:20:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Future Land Use Opinion Map designates
  432. 0:20:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript these parcels as suburban neighborhood.
  433. 0:20:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Large areas of R3 moderate density residential within this designation
  434. 0:20:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript do not fully reflect the intended development pattern for this area.
  435. 0:20:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The South Clarksville Planning Area and the Growth and Development Framework section
  436. 0:20:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of the Comprehensive Plan discourage development on steep slopes
  437. 0:21:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript due to increased erosion, higher construction costs, and safety factors.
  438. 0:21:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Access to this site is limited to the intersection of Ashland City Road
  439. 0:21:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the 41A bypass, which serves as its sole connection
  440. 0:21:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the major street network.
  441. 0:21:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The submitted traffic assessment identifies a poor level of service E condition
  442. 0:21:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for the southbound approach.
  443. 0:21:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This negatively contributes to the associated traffic safety concerns.
  444. 0:21:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In addition to the above-referenced traffic safety,
  445. 0:21:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the level of service concerns, the road servicing the site,
  446. 0:21:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Seven Mile Ferry, is described as a substandard 16-foot wide road
  447. 0:21:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is adjacent to areas of steep topography,
  448. 0:21:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which makes any improvements such as widening and sidewalks difficult to construct.
  449. 0:21:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Additional study or assessments are necessary
  450. 0:21:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to determine the feasibility of those required improvements.
  451. 0:21:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Planning Commission also recommends disapproval.
  452. 0:21:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  453. 0:21:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Holloman, you're recognized.
  454. 0:21:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  455. 0:21:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is an easy one.
  456. 0:21:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's definitely a pretty hard no.
  457. 0:21:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the applicant's estimated number of units is 74 units,
  458. 0:22:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so like approximately two cars per unit,
  459. 0:22:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so 150 additional cars turning out a Seven Mile Ferry road.
  460. 0:22:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just drive down the road.
  461. 0:22:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The bypass and try to find Seven Mile Ferry Road
  462. 0:22:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and see the entrance of it.
  463. 0:22:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's kind of, you have to look out for it.
  464. 0:22:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It can be a little tricky to find,
  465. 0:22:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I encourage all my council members to drive down Seven Mile Ferry Road.
  466. 0:22:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This would be an absolute disaster, especially in the mornings
  467. 0:22:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with everyone going to work, the additional traffic turning in and out.
  468. 0:22:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The bypass is already crazy.
  469. 0:22:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So to me, this is an easy one.
  470. 0:22:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you to the Regional Planning Commission for the disapproval.
  471. 0:22:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But for me, it's a no.
  472. 0:22:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  473. 0:22:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shekinah, you're recognized.
  474. 0:22:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, thank you, Mayor.
  475. 0:22:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you for that, Mr. Tindall.
  476. 0:22:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this question may be for the street department,
  477. 0:22:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but the road, and I was just thinking of this when you were reading it
  478. 0:22:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or else I would have called and asked earlier,
  479. 0:22:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but 16 feet in some areas, 17 feet in some areas, maybe 19 feet.
  480. 0:23:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If this is a city road, why is it so narrow in some places on a road that's short?
  481. 0:23:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Why isn't it all the way 19 or 21 feet?
  482. 0:23:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right, Mr. Smith, I kind of miss you up here, so I've got a question for you.
  483. 0:23:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript On this road, you mentioned it's 16 feet wide.
  484. 0:23:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  485. 0:23:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But also in some areas, it's 17, 18 feet wide.
  486. 0:23:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
  487. 0:23:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Why on such a short road, why is it different widths?
  488. 0:23:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just a very aging road, and the amount of right-of-way through that area
  489. 0:23:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is not what it could be, even if the developer has proposed and suggested.
  490. 0:23:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'd like to widen this.
  491. 0:23:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I see you'd be buying property from private property owners to accomplish that.
  492. 0:23:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we have several roads in town.
  493. 0:23:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Kennedy Lane is a great example that had been in place for many, many years
  494. 0:23:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and without significant improvement,
  495. 0:23:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and there's a lot of earthwork involved with widening these roadways.
  496. 0:24:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And again, we're servicing a key number of residents
  497. 0:24:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and kind of taking away from it at the same time some of their interests as well.
  498. 0:24:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I kind of like the serene, low-traffic roadways.
  499. 0:24:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  500. 0:24:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  501. 0:24:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  502. 0:24:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler, you're recognized.
  503. 0:24:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  504. 0:24:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is for Mr. Tindall.
  505. 0:24:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is it possible in the future, like when you give us these topographical maps,
  506. 0:24:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to include the closest major highway, keep backing up the very first one?
  507. 0:24:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Something like it helps me orient where I'm at,
  508. 0:24:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and, you know, if it's possible.
  509. 0:24:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Talk to me after the meeting.
  510. 0:24:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, we'll get there.
  511. 0:24:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  512. 0:24:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  513. 0:24:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clonch, you're recognized.
  514. 0:24:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  515. 0:24:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have my timer just in case.
  516. 0:25:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sir, at the current zoning, how many houses can be permitted in that?
  517. 0:25:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That was asked at the Planning Commission,
  518. 0:25:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and again, it's a tough one due to the topography.
  519. 0:25:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Twenty acres.
  520. 0:25:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript R1, we typically use about a 1.9 to 2 units per acre ratio.
  521. 0:25:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That might be a little high, but they can cluster this,
  522. 0:25:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so assume around 40 units would be on the high end of the existing R1 out there.
  523. 0:25:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  524. 0:25:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Holloman, you're recognized.
  525. 0:25:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  526. 0:25:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So for Seven Mile Ferry Road, the reason it's probably so narrow
  527. 0:25:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is because there's never a need to widen it.
  528. 0:25:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you go on your phone right now and you type in Seven Mile Ferry Road, Clarksville,
  529. 0:25:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you look at the maps, just south or right across the river,
  530. 0:25:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there's a Seven Mile Ferry Road as well.
  531. 0:25:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So those roads are so old.
  532. 0:25:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's back when they used to have the ferry system,
  533. 0:25:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript back when you had your horse and buggy or your little Model T car
  534. 0:25:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you'd get on the boat ferry and you'd take it across the river,
  535. 0:26:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript back before they had, like, a lot of bridges everywhere.
  536. 0:26:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's a very, very old road, and it's actually kind of historic for Clarksville,
  537. 0:26:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it's kind of cool little information for you all.
  538. 0:26:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  539. 0:26:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  540. 0:26:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler, do you care to...
  541. 0:26:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Tied up his dinosaur down there.
  542. 0:26:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I got it.
  543. 0:26:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  544. 0:26:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any other questions about Ordinance 58?
  545. 0:26:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thanks for being here.
  546. 0:26:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will call the council.
  547. 0:26:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There are several letters attached against this proposal for you to read.
  548. 0:26:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  549. 0:26:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're ready for Item C, Ordinance 72, 2025-26.
  550. 0:26:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall.
  551. 0:26:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let me add a few deferrals.
  552. 0:26:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let me get down to this one.
  553. 0:26:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  554. 0:26:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is Application Z12-2026.
  555. 0:26:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the application of Richard Garrett.
  556. 0:26:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is 1.45 acres in total, currently zoned R1 and requesting to go to O1 Office District.
  557. 0:26:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's the northwest corner of Trenton Road and Hayes Street.
  558. 0:27:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is in Council Ward Number 11.
  559. 0:27:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is in the St. Bethlehem planning area.
  560. 0:27:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The applicant's statement is,
  561. 0:27:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The purpose of this request is to allow for the adaptive reuse of an existing single-family residence
  562. 0:27:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for a low-intensity professional office use.
  563. 0:27:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The applicant does not propose...
  564. 0:27:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Proposed demolition of the existing structure, expansion of the footprint, or additional development
  565. 0:27:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on the remainder of the property at this time.
  566. 0:27:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The proposed O1 zoning is intended to provide a limited office-only use that is compatible
  567. 0:27:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with the surrounding development pattern while minimizing impacts related to traffic, drainage,
  568. 0:27:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript flooding, and infrastructure.
  569. 0:27:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There is the future land use map.
  570. 0:27:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The orange is urban neighborhood.
  571. 0:27:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll mention that in the staff report.
  572. 0:27:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And here's the current zoning.
  573. 0:27:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A lot of C5 on that south side of Trenton going out to Wilmer Rudolph Boulevard,
  574. 0:27:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript some R4 and R1 around it to the north.
  575. 0:28:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is looking up the street to the property.
  576. 0:28:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you'll see that fenced area right there.
  577. 0:28:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That is a city-maintained sinkhole.
  578. 0:28:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When you do look at the property, again, when I show it at the end,
  579. 0:28:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there is a cutout in the middle.
  580. 0:28:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The city did acquire a piece of this property to maintain this sinkhole on the property.
  581. 0:28:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There it is looking up to the property on Trenton Road.
  582. 0:28:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this is looking from Trenton Road back down Hay Street.
  583. 0:28:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The property is on your right there.
  584. 0:28:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is looking up Trenton Road.
  585. 0:28:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The property is on the left.
  586. 0:28:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then Trenton Road looking south.
  587. 0:28:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's what's recently been constructed across the street.
  588. 0:28:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Also the back of what's across the street there.
  589. 0:28:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you can see that little cutout in the middle there.
  590. 0:28:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Department comments and concerns.
  591. 0:29:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Gas and water set of possible off-site lift station upgrade would be required.
  592. 0:29:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript City Street Department, no future connection to Trenton Road.
  593. 0:29:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A drainage plan must be required at the development stage.
  594. 0:29:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And no other comments or concerns from other departments.
  595. 0:29:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The O1 District provides an opportunity for general professional offices and businesses
  596. 0:29:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and of various scales and levels of intensity.
  597. 0:29:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Staff does recommend disapproval on this.
  598. 0:29:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The proposed O1 District,
  599. 0:29:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript aligns with the future land use designation of urban neighborhood.
  600. 0:29:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That states that limited office and commercial uses primarily located on major roads
  601. 0:29:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are appropriate according to the adopted comprehensive plan.
  602. 0:29:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript However, documented flooding and drainage issues exist in the immediate area
  603. 0:29:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and a clear path to resolving those concerns has not been provided.
  604. 0:29:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Given the existing conditions, staff does not recommend approval of a zone change
  605. 0:29:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that will result in increased impervious coverage
  606. 0:30:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the potential increase in site intensity.
  607. 0:30:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Planning Commission also recommends disapproval.
  608. 0:30:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler, you're recognized.
  609. 0:30:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've got a couple of questions.
  610. 0:30:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The first one is, my understanding is they don't plan on changing,
  611. 0:30:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript tearing the building down, putting a new one in.
  612. 0:30:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They don't plan on changing anything other than going to an O1, correct?
  613. 0:30:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will say that's what the applicant has stated, yes.
  614. 0:30:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  615. 0:30:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, what I'm having trouble grasping is,
  616. 0:30:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't quite understand that if we say no to this,
  617. 0:30:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all they're going to do is just leave it like it is, supposedly.
  618. 0:30:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, you already got something there.
  619. 0:30:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, if we say, well, yeah, you can do this,
  620. 0:30:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it's going to be just like it is now, nothing new.
  621. 0:31:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can't see where that there would be a problem.
  622. 0:31:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I have one other question.
  623. 0:31:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know how that the board at RPC, you know, majority rules.
  624. 0:31:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When you say that the staff recommends approval or disapproval,
  625. 0:31:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what procedure does that go through?
  626. 0:31:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is it a sit down with a group of people?
  627. 0:31:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is it one person?
  628. 0:31:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How is that determination made?
  629. 0:31:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sure.
  630. 0:31:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll answer that question first, and then I'll answer the other question.
  631. 0:31:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Staff, on the Tuesday before the meeting,
  632. 0:31:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript before the planning commission meeting,
  633. 0:31:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have the department review meeting in the morning
  634. 0:31:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where all the city and county and state departments come to our office
  635. 0:31:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or join us online, and we discuss each of these projects.
  636. 0:31:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We take notes.
  637. 0:31:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then that afternoon, the staff sits together in the room,
  638. 0:31:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the planners of the planning commission, and we discuss each case.
  639. 0:31:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We present it as if we would to the planning commission.
  640. 0:31:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We go through all of our documents and all the information gathered
  641. 0:32:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and say, what do the documents say?
  642. 0:32:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What's the area say?
  643. 0:32:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And what should our recommendation to the planning commission be?
  644. 0:32:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  645. 0:32:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And now to your first question.
  646. 0:32:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sometimes I wish zoning was as simple as saying, yeah,
  647. 0:32:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I believe what you say you're going to do is what you're going to do,
  648. 0:32:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I'm going to approve what you're going to do.
  649. 0:32:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We approve zones, and zones allow for a myriad of things at times.
  650. 0:32:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And while the applicant today and for the perceivable future
  651. 0:32:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would keep it as a house out there to run a real estate agency,
  652. 0:32:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it doesn't mean at some point something else can't happen
  653. 0:32:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or their minds change.
  654. 0:32:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's where the staff came on.
  655. 0:32:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was a very lengthy discussion on this one,
  656. 0:32:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but ultimately we felt that even though the land use is appropriate
  657. 0:32:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for the comprehensive plan, that area has had its issues,
  658. 0:32:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we probably shouldn't add any more to that area.
  659. 0:32:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  660. 0:32:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Cicchino, you're recognized.
  661. 0:32:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  662. 0:33:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And Mr. Tindall, you mentioned that a pumping station would be required.
  663. 0:33:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm thinking even if this particular property was torn down
  664. 0:33:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you had a multi-level office space put in there,
  665. 0:33:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript why would a pumping station be required on this small little?
  666. 0:33:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Not a pumping station, off-site lift station upgrade.
  667. 0:33:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it just means that the lift station that serves this area
  668. 0:33:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is probably near capacity, and they may have to do some
  669. 0:33:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to increase the capacity of that lift station.
  670. 0:33:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, all right, thanks.
  671. 0:33:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thanks, Mayor.
  672. 0:33:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clonch, you're recognized.
  673. 0:33:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was in the meeting.
  674. 0:33:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That would be my plug is the RPC formal meeting.
  675. 0:33:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is obviously my favorite meeting of all time,
  676. 0:33:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but if you have the opportunity to go to that meeting,
  677. 0:33:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's a phenomenal meeting.
  678. 0:33:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sir, wasn't there discussion about concrete needing to be added
  679. 0:33:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if it was changed to an 01 to facilitate ADA compliance?
  680. 0:33:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So as an office building, it would be required to have
  681. 0:33:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so many parking spaces.
  682. 0:33:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There is a shed on site that could be torn down.
  683. 0:34:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You may not have to increase the impervious,
  684. 0:34:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but that's where the space is.
  685. 0:34:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the statement that was out there in the city
  686. 0:34:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that the street department's comment that drainage plan
  687. 0:34:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript must be presented at development stage if they do need
  688. 0:34:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to add additional concrete or asphalt or anything else
  689. 0:34:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the property, it would go through the development
  690. 0:34:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript review process, and you'd have to detain or slow up that water
  691. 0:34:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript before it gets to that sinkhole behind the property.
  692. 0:34:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the concerns is there's not a lot of property to do that with,
  693. 0:34:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that goes to the grading and water quality permit.
  694. 0:34:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That goes along with land disturbance.
  695. 0:34:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript turbines and it's currently gravel is it not a little bit of concrete i think it's a little
  696. 0:34:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript concrete out there yeah okay again sir one more question then you kind of hit on this and this is
  697. 0:34:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just my lack of knowledge so you said that i understand we don't approve what are we it's
  698. 0:34:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript zoning approval so if he we approve this and it goes oh one and then two months later he decides
  699. 0:34:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to rip it all down it is forever oh one until somebody comes back and says they want to change
  700. 0:35:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it at that point yes with the caveat that you always have to go through development review so
  701. 0:35:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you'd still have to do your water quality and all those other items thank you sir other questions
  702. 0:35:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about this ordinance all right we're ready for item d ordinance 73 2025-26 mr tyndall
  703. 0:35:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all right and on that last case i will just call your attention there is a presentation from the
  704. 0:35:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript developer on that following that should be in your packets there the next case is planning

  746. 0:39:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the Red River District Study.
  747. 0:39:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There is your current future land use map, urban neighborhood
  748. 0:39:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript identified there in orange and then Austin Peay in the
  749. 0:39:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript blue as a public service. And you have some
  750. 0:39:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript regional commercial, I think, to the south in the pink.
  751. 0:39:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this is the map from the adopted Red River
  752. 0:39:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript neighborhood plan. It went a little further.
  753. 0:39:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As you can see, the general comprehensive plan has that as an urban neighborhood. It went a little further.
  754. 0:39:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Orange here is
  755. 0:39:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript multi-family suggested. Brown is multi-family to smaller single-family lots.

  757. 0:40:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Red would be commercial and then future growth in the area
  758. 0:40:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the east and to the west. And there's the current zones in the area.
  759. 0:40:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That area is predominantly R3 with some R4 to the
  760. 0:40:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript north and C2 to the south. Here's the property in question.
  761. 0:40:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That home is not part of this property.
  762. 0:40:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's on the neighboring property. You can see the stakes
  763. 0:40:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on the property. So it's from there to the west.
  764. 0:40:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there's the brand new nursing building that Austin Peay just opened up pretty much down
  765. 0:40:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and across the street. And that is looking up the street
  766. 0:40:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript toward Ford Street. Department

  769. 0:40:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript dimensions of it. You can only do one house
  770. 0:41:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript due to the lot size. The R6 would allow them to do
  771. 0:41:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript two single-family houses. So one to two with this request.
  772. 0:41:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Staff does recommend approval. The request is

  779. 0:41:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a desirable mixture of housing stock in the planning area. Planning Commission also
  780. 0:41:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript recommends approval. Thank you. Councilman Smith, you're recognized. Thank you, Mayor.
  781. 0:41:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Ms. Tindall. This is going to be two homes.
  782. 0:41:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Small homes. How big do you think?
  783. 0:41:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The lots are going to be about 3,000.
  784. 0:41:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just over 3,000 square feet because the parcel is just over 6,000 square feet.
  785. 0:42:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To do single-family homes in R3, you'd need 3,500 square
  786. 0:42:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript feet. So they're just a couple hundred square feet under what they could have
  787. 0:42:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just brought into the Planning Commission and divided that property, which is why they need the R6
  788. 0:42:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to get their two houses. Two small houses like shotgun houses? Probably.
  789. 0:42:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is that what you're talking about? You know I'm against this, right?
  790. 0:42:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Probably. R6 with these little...
  791. 0:42:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall, you know I'm against this R6
  792. 0:42:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript being built over there. I just think it doesn't fit in the
  793. 0:42:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript area. It's just too small. I mean, it's a shotgun
  794. 0:42:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript house over there now that they built on R6. And
  795. 0:42:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it seems like it doesn't stay. I don't know if they bought it or it's just
  796. 0:42:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sitting there. I don't know. But I don't want to see any more shotgun
  797. 0:42:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript houses over there on the end of that property. I just
  798. 0:42:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript think it's awful.
  799. 0:42:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know. But y'all
  800. 0:42:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript approved it. And I'm going to disapprove it.
  801. 0:43:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you. Councilman Cicchino, be recognized. Thank you, Mayor.
  802. 0:43:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just a general question for, well not question,
  803. 0:43:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but a general comment for the fellow council members. At the RPC
  804. 0:43:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript meeting one Tuesday, a gentleman spoke about the
  805. 0:43:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript traffic and how the Austin Peay students park over there.
  806. 0:43:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I got a couple of phone calls that evening. And actually I went
  807. 0:43:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript over there and looked at it today. And they were spot on.
  808. 0:43:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's hardly any place to park. So even with two new houses, which is not
  809. 0:43:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript significant, two homes, that's not significant. But there's already no
  810. 0:43:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript place to park. So the question was where these guys are going to
  811. 0:43:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript park. So I just ask the council members just to drive over there and just look
  812. 0:43:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at that parking situation before Thursday if you could.
  813. 0:43:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Stone Thelma to me. Thanks, Mayor.
  814. 0:43:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clautch, you're recognized.
  815. 0:43:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I have a concern about the property lines. There was a husband
  816. 0:44:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and wife. Did that, sir, did that get clarified before they left?
  817. 0:44:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We provided them a copy of the survey so they could use that and possibly
  818. 0:44:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript either get their own survey or go out on field and justify that or not.
  819. 0:44:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, if this does pass, there will be two readings here and
  820. 0:44:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would still have to come in to get divided and get through a review with the planning commission.
  821. 0:44:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they've got two, two and a half months
  822. 0:44:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at the least to review that information and
  823. 0:44:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have no reason to believe that the surveyor made an error. But
  824. 0:44:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the neighbors, you know, properties like this that have been vacant for a long time,
  825. 0:44:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that property line tends to blur and when the state goes up, you're like,
  826. 0:44:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript oh, that's really where my property line is. I think that's maybe what happened here,
  827. 0:44:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but we provided them with the information and our contact information to get back with us
  828. 0:44:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if they need to. Thank you, sir. Councilman Smith, you're recognized.
  829. 0:44:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor. Mr. Toney, it's real clear that you're
  830. 0:44:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript close to that, you know,
  831. 0:44:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript center stone. It's right
  832. 0:44:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript close to the center stone.
  833. 0:45:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, you can kind of see it to the left
  834. 0:45:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right there. Yes, right there.
  835. 0:45:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's really a little small lot
  836. 0:45:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there. And as
  837. 0:45:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you mentioned, we do have trouble with parking
  838. 0:45:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript over there. I just think R6,
  839. 0:45:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think they just need to make it a parking lot.

  1579. 1:10:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript only negatively impact Senior Center, its members and staff,

  1581. 1:11:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of the members. Mayor Pitts,
  1582. 1:11:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript City Council, please renew the lease and funding
  1583. 1:11:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for the Ajax Turner Senior Center non-profit so we can
  1584. 1:11:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript continue to make a positive difference to the community.
  1585. 1:11:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you. Anyone else wish to address the Council?
  1586. 1:11:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have room for one more. If you would, give us your name and you have
  1587. 1:11:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript five minutes. Good evening, everyone. My name is
  1588. 1:11:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Lois Grider, and yes, we are back to discuss the
  1589. 1:11:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ajax Senior Center.
  1590. 1:11:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, when we first received the
  1591. 1:11:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript eviction from the Mayor, there was
  1592. 1:11:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript an array of emotion that went
  1593. 1:11:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript through us all. Disbelief, shock,
  1594. 1:11:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and yes, anger. But I question
  1595. 1:11:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript why? And I ask,
  1596. 1:12:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript why didn't the Mayor, if he had these concerns,
  1597. 1:12:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just,
  1598. 1:12:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript attend a board meeting, come over just a few blocks,
  1599. 1:12:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have a discussion? We're not unreasonable people.
  1600. 1:12:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Center was set up as its own entity, as a non-profit,
  1601. 1:12:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and although, yes, you do fund a lot of our operation funds,
  1602. 1:12:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we got 60 years that people have worked,
  1603. 1:12:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and fund raised, or grants, to build what we have today.
  1604. 1:12:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And all of a sudden, without even a discussion,
  1605. 1:12:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we get a notice to vacate. Why?
  1606. 1:12:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There was no discussion with the Council. When I first brought it up, you were all shocked.
  1607. 1:13:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There was no discussion with anyone,
  1608. 1:13:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript including us. Why would you do this?
  1609. 1:13:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Why would you take, and this is our 60th year,
  1610. 1:13:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it's not a celebration.
  1611. 1:13:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It feels like a funeral, and I don't understand,
  1612. 1:13:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because the reasons that were given
  1613. 1:13:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript happens everywhere.
  1614. 1:13:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, everybody can improve,
  1615. 1:13:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but you gotta give us a chance.
  1616. 1:13:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've worked hard.
  1617. 1:13:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And put in a lot of time,
  1618. 1:13:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and a lot of our own money for that fact,
  1619. 1:13:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to support our seniors,
  1620. 1:13:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to support the people in the community.
  1621. 1:13:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there's a lot of things,
  1622. 1:13:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and yes, beating them too.
  1623. 1:14:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we have a sewing room where people take scraps
  1624. 1:14:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and make blankets for babies,
  1625. 1:14:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or blankets for the homeless.
  1626. 1:14:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We make shoebox Christmas gifts for the homeless,
  1627. 1:14:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where we collected socks, toiletries,
  1628. 1:14:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whatever we could get that they would need,
  1629. 1:14:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and take them and give them out,
  1630. 1:14:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we would wrap every one of them.
  1631. 1:14:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So somebody without a family had a gift to open.
  1632. 1:14:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Don't make destroying this center your legacy.
  1633. 1:14:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you all.
  1634. 1:14:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're ready for Mayor and Councilmember comments.
  1635. 1:14:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any member have a comment?
  1636. 1:14:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized.
  1637. 1:14:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1638. 1:14:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Recently, I've had to reach out to Building and Codes
  1639. 1:14:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript over a few different items,
  1640. 1:14:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I am so appreciative of everything that they do
  1641. 1:15:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to go out and look into the different things.
  1642. 1:15:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But one, I wasn't expecting Building and Codes
  1643. 1:15:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to be involved.
  1644. 1:15:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I had to reach out to the police department
  1645. 1:15:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about an issue that was going on
  1646. 1:15:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in one of the neighborhoods in my ward.
  1647. 1:15:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I was told, you know, I'm not going to go out there,
  1648. 1:15:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I'm not going to do anything about it.
  1649. 1:15:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And afterwards, and mind you, they jumped right on it.
  1650. 1:15:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And in their response, they said that them
  1651. 1:15:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and Building and Codes had been out there.
  1652. 1:15:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that led me to reach back out to Mr. Crosby and say,
  1653. 1:15:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript well, I had no idea that I had another one
  1654. 1:15:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that I was needing you to look at.
  1655. 1:15:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Didn't know that you would be involved in this one.
  1656. 1:15:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And he went on to really brag on Deputy Chief Scott Thornton
  1657. 1:15:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and everything that he does to help Building and Codes.
  1658. 1:15:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Specifically, when he was,
  1659. 1:15:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the district chief at District 1,
  1660. 1:15:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he took the code enforcement team under his wing
  1661. 1:15:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and really worked with them on safety and interaction
  1662. 1:15:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with potential crime scenes.
  1663. 1:15:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And he's also made it a priority that when they're,
  1664. 1:16:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for their guys, whenever they need help from CPD on a case,
  1665. 1:16:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they are there working and helping them with it.
  1666. 1:16:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And he's been very proactive in building a relationship
  1667. 1:16:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript between the two departments.
  1668. 1:16:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He even went as far as to say they wouldn't be as effective
  1669. 1:16:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as they are without his help and guidance.
  1670. 1:16:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just wanted to take that moment to give a shout out,
  1671. 1:16:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not only to Building and Codes for all that they do,
  1672. 1:16:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but specifically to Deputy Chief Scott Thornton and CPD
  1673. 1:16:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for everything that they do.
  1674. 1:16:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it's amazing to me to see the various departments
  1675. 1:16:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and how they work together to really serve our citizens
  1676. 1:16:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and serve all of us up here on the council
  1677. 1:16:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when we've got issues or concerns in our ward.
  1678. 1:16:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, like I said, wanted to take that moment
  1679. 1:16:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to give a special shout out to him and a thank you
  1680. 1:16:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to both of them.
  1681. 1:16:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you to both of those departments
  1682. 1:16:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for everything that they do for us.
  1683. 1:16:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clonch, you're recognized.
  1684. 1:16:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  1685. 1:16:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I did set my timer, three minutes.

  1687. 1:16:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clonch, don't comment because they have legal counsel.

  1690. 1:17:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  1691. 1:17:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just a word of caution.

  1698. 1:17:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and a lot of people on this council haven't agreed on
  1699. 1:17:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on a day-in, day-out basis, sir.
