New Legal Maneuvers by Nolensville Pave the Way for More Commercial Development

.

Homeowner Sends in a letter from

Property Owners in future annexed area

Our city leaders opened the way for more

commercial developments in an area that

was originally intended to be a "buffer

zone" between Nolensville and Brentwood.

Lawyers came up with a "out-of-court"

settlement with owners against the

annexation by having Nolensville pay for

all of their out-of-pocket legal fees if they

would drop their lawsuit.

Somewhere along the way it was discover-

ed a mistake was made by Nolensville city

leaders about this buffer zone's plan for

development.

Since 2002 Nolensville asked Brentwood to

change the agreement to allow commercial

development, but until now Brentwood

refused to do so. That is, until they got a 25%

piece of the tax pie to be paid for by

Nolensville for years to come.

Originally Brentwood wanted to limit the

density in this "buffer-zone" but it was not

to be. Forget the buffer zone. Grab all the

commercial firms to expand the tax base.

When Nolensville was incorporated no one

ever imagined homes being built on 6,000

sq. ft. lots. Today you can see them almost

in every direction. Our city leaders have

failed us. We have one thing left to do and

that is remember this at our next election.

Sincerely submitted by many disappointed

land and home owners now residents of

Nolensville.
