The Tie that Binds & Says "NO" to 160 Lot Subdivision off YorK Rd.

Town Hall Meeting Thurs., Feb. 2
Board of Mayor/Aldermen opened
facing overflow crowd of Nolensville
residents ready to ask many questions.

Highlight of the meeting was question
whether to rezone York Rd. to allow
for 160-lot subdivision. Final "NO"vote
ended up in tie that means it cannot be
brought up again for one year. Loud
cheers and hand-clapping showed the
audience supported the vote 100 %!
Mayor was absent and could not cast
the tie breaking vote that would have
been for the subdivision. Mayor's usual
majority vote guarantee could not be
used due to Mayor's absence. Some
suggested Mayor should miss more meet-
ings.

Bonnie Burch's Sunday Tennessean article
records..."Tracy Kujawa, the founder of
Angel Heart Farm, a therapeutic horseback
riding program for children with chronic or
life-threatening illnesses, made an impassion-
ed plea to keep developments away from the
farm located on Sam Donald Road."
"We were attracted to the peaceful beauty of
Nolensville. But the hope and healing we
bring to families is being threatened by
unbridled housing developments," she said.

Eight local residents spoke up on assorted
topics like..Where's the ethics bill for the
city board of Nolensville? We don't need to
wait for metro and state to pass their bills!
No excuses let's get it going again!

Construction blasting with damages and noise
a big concern plus heavy traffic. Water runoff
and necessary expenses to redirect water were
high and growing. Many still concerned about
Kidd Rd. proposed annexation. Very much
against it and do not trust city hall to vote NO
and support homeowners wishes.

Long discussion about rezoning behind the
Post Office to allow commercial services and
office developments. Dr. Clark, local resident
spoke up against it saying city moving too fast
and not really seriously weighing the options.

Mr. Frank Wilson, longtime local resident,
talked about New City Land Use Plan chang-
ing location of town houses near Post Office.
He preferred this location close to stores for
retired folks, but despite the change he told
about Bent Creek's proposed plan to build
town houses on 9 acres at the very east end
of the subdivision. Plans appear to be still
tenative since they used to include some kind
of retail small stores and shopping center?

Discussion came about whether New Land Use
Plan could be overturned. Alderman Alexander
said no, but town attorney cautioned that in
truth it could probably be changed with board
passing a new ordinance that would go against
the existing rule. For example changing zoning
to PUD from SR or ER. Surprise it has already
happened and approved by City Board.

Overall local residents that attended meeting
are solidly against PUD's and are becoming
organized to resist all future annexations and
development approvals until required traffic
studies, impact on roads, schools and local
services are known via solid facts--NO SPIN!

Start now to get organized for Thursday, 3/2
