NEW LAW SAYS NO TO NOLENSVILLE CHARGING ANY NEW IMPACT FEES FOR 2007 & BEYOND!

2007 MEANS NO MORE IMPACT FEES CAN BE
CHARGED TO ANY NEW HOME DEVELOPERS
STATE WIDE?????

THEREFORE, NEW HOME DEVELOPERS WILL KEEP
COMING INTO NOLENSVILLE AND NOT PAY ONE DIME
FOR ROAD MAINTAINENCE, INCREASED TRAFFIC,
MORE SCHOOLS..MORE FIREMAN AND MORE POLICE.

TO YOU NEWCOMERS...NOLENSVILLE NEVER HAS
CHARGED ANY IMPACT FEES FOR THE 16 OR MORE
NEW HOME DEVELOPERS NOW BUILDING IN TOWN?

THEREFORE, YOU MIGHT ASK WHERE IS THE MONEY
GOING TO COME FROM TO MAINTAIN THESE NEW
STREETS, HANDLE MORE TRAFFIC AND KEEP UP
WITH FIRE AND POLICE DEPT. DEMANDS?????

WELL WHY NOT EMAIL OUR MAYOR OR THE TOWN
HALL WITH THIS URGENT QUESTION??? ALSO ASK
THE MAYOR ABOUT THE CURRENT BUDGET...IF IT
CAN HANDLE THIS OVERWHELMING GROWTH???

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE IN FRANKLIN KNOW HOW
THEIR MAYOR FEELS ABOUT DEVELOPERS AND
THE UNPLANNED FOR GROWTH IN FRANKLIN.

"Landowners need to realize that if their land is in the
path of growth, it is not tantamount to winning the
lottery. The choice facing them is to lower the price
of their land to a point that the DEVELOPER can
present a plan that meets Franklin’s standards, or let
the land sit until they do." Franklin Mayor Tom Miller.

Franklin resident speaks up...
It is just bizarre that Tom Miller thinks that HE is
the arbiter, not the free market, of land prices! The
price of land will be, ultimately, whatever the market
(the developers) will bear. Tom seems to think that
land pricing should somehow run contrary to the
market-driven philosophy that drives our entire
economy. Tom seems to think that Franklin and
Williamson County are in a special class of land-
owners...they should bend over and just take what-
ever the developers will pay, so that THEIR "...
numbers work". So, developers in the audience...
just what IS that number?? Just how much profit
(i.e. greed) do you have to have to do a deal?? 25%
return? 50%? 100%? 250%? 2,000%? My view:
they ain't makin' dirt any more. It's a valuable, non-
renewable commodity. The landowners should get
every last dime that THEY WANT out of THEIR
DIRT so that THEIR "...numbers work". And if their
price doesn't work for a developer, either another
one will come along WITH the "right number", or
the landowner and/or their heirs, can rightfully
choose to hang onto THEIR DIRT until the cows
come home. (for more story on Franklin see

IT MAY BE TOO LATE, BUT NOW IS THE TIME TO
ASK OUR NEW MAYOR AND BOARD WHAT IS
THEIR POSITION ON THE FUTURE GROWTH OF
NOLENSVILLE? ALSO ASK THE PLANNING
COMMISSION IF THEY HAVE ANY POSITION AT
ALL??? SINCE IS IT OBVIOUS NOT MUCH HAS
BEEN DOWN TO PROTECT THE TOWN FROM
THIS RAMPANT OVER GROWTH WITHOUT ANY
FUNDS TO SERVICE IT???

SEND IN YOUR COMMENTS ON WHAT YOU THINK
IS GOING TO HAPPEN?????
