Nolensville's Land Use Policy Plan Just Arrived 11/10/05
"Long-range plannng maps will help leaders make decisions"..per Bonnie Burch, Tennessean Staff Writer. We cannot help but wonder how the planning commission made decisions without such plans? Bonnie says, "it was in the works for many months...a blueprint for the entire town's growth from commercial to infrastructure, recreational to street trees."
How many housing developments have been ok'd without this plan??
Town Planner Henry Laird said, "We get proposals all the time. The question is, how do you want that land to develop? "We should have something to go by when making these decisions." Duh? Henry you got that right!
How soon can you put together a "Public Meeting" to show local residents this plan? Contrary to Bonnie's headline..
"Nolensville residents consider options for future growth"...very few residents attend this planning commission meeting and never see the minutes.
So what about it? Tell us when the Public Meeting is going to take place and we will put in it on this website so you can fill the school gym.
Believe it or not people aren't really that "dense"...they know what "density" means and Nolensville is now afflicted with the density disease...big time. During the meeting it was stated that first option would increase densities by 300%. Oh, Boy here comes the "density dance tune" that developers love...it is money music to their ears. Email your opinion to Town Hall attention Mayor or specific alderman. Feel free to comment pro or con.

In the Sunday (11/13)article I like what Planning Commissioner, Jimmy Alexander said. "It doesn't appear anyone is completely comfortable with either Option 1 or Option 2. We should think about this. It's a big decision that affects a lot of people." How much did the city pay for these plans?
Bad news...they passed on Option 1 anyway. The one what would increase densities by 300%. Jimmy Alexander needs to be promoted to Chairman of Planning Commission.
Jimmy Alexander is OK, but we live south of town and we hope James Clark, Planning Commissioner can help hold off the merchants. He said "We don't need to continue the commercial all the way down to (State Route) 840. We have commercial concentrated in the north corridor and the historic district."
