PLEASE COME TO THE WELL. GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS,

YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. >> AMBAR FREDERICK.

CLARKSVILLE. I'M HERE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF AVA HOMES, THAT IS A COMPANY I OWNFUL WE ARE LOOKING TO SEEK APPROVAL TO REZONE FROM THE R-2 TO THE R-6 TO KIND OF KEEP WITH THE REVITALIZATION OF THE AREA. WITH THE TRANSITION OF THE AREA FOR ASSESSING THESE LOTS AND LOOKING AT WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THEM. WE SEE THAT THERE'S A TRANSITION THERE. SOME SUBDIVISIONS BEING BUILT.

TOWNHOMES PUT UP. SOME OF THE ADJACENT LOTS HAVE BEEN REZONED TO R-6. WE WANT TO CONTINUE IN THAT SAME SPIRIT OF REVITALIZING THAT AREA AND MAKING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES FOR THE RESIDENTS OF CLARK CLARKSVILLE.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU. COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE

RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR, THANK YOU MISS FREDRICKS FOR WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IN THE COMMUNITY. WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE FROM R-2 TO

R-6? >> YES, MA'AM, LOOKING AT THE LIMITATIONS OF WHAT I CAN DO FROM A R-2 PERSPECTIVE TO WHAT I CAN DO TO R-6. I'M ABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON THE

SPACE. >> COUNCILPERSON: YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MAKING MONEY OFF OF IT?

>> NO, BUILDING MORE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

GIVING MORE OWNER OCCUPANCY AVAILABILITY.

FOR RESIDENTS TO PURCHASE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO BUILD TWO HOMES, I CAN POTENTIALLY

BUILD FOUR HOMES. >> COUNCILPERSON: TO CAPITALIZE.

DO YOU REALIZE HOW BIG THE LOTS ARE?

>> I DO. >> WHAT ARE THEY?

>> ABOUT .61 APIECE. >> YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH ROOM FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY. SO YOU SINGLE FAMILY HOME, FAMILIES, DO YOU THINK THAT IS ENOUGH ROOM TO PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE FOR THE CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH? I DON'T THINK SO. BUT I CAN SEE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

>> I UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND. I HEAR YOU. I THINK FOR ME IT IS MORE ABOUT PROVIDING HOMES IN AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT FOR PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE THEY CAN COME IN AND THEY DO HAVE THOSE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN THAT AREA. ACROSS THE STREET, YOU HAVE THE APARTMENTS. WE HAVE TOWNHOMES.

SO REALLY TRYING TO GO IN AND BUILD SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND CREATE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ATMOSPHERE IN REVITALIZING THAT

AREA FOR THE RESIDENTS. >> I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING,

BUT I DISAGREE. >> OKAY.

>> THAT'S MY JOB TO MAKE SURE WE ARE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT IN THESE COMMUNITIES. AS I SAID, I JUST DON'T THINK THAT R-6 IS A GOOD THING FOR THAT AREA.

I KNOW YOU SAID YOU WANT TO CAPITALIZE.

I LOOK AT THAT AS MAKING MONEY. I KNOW YOU SAID BUILDING HOMES.

BUT THAT SEEMS LIKE, YOU CAN PUT TWO HOMES BUT VERSUS THE -- R-2, TWO HOMES. R-6, YOU CAN MAKE IT FOUR HOMES.

THAT'S CAPITALIZING OFF OF WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO.

SO FOR ME, SEEMS LIKE R-2 WOULD STILL BE GOOD.

I MEAN, I THINK IT IS MORE ROOM FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY.

I JUST CAN'T SEE BUILDING A FAMILY HOME, SAY BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOMES, THERE'S NO ROOM FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY.

I JUST DISAGREE WITH THAT. >> I UNDERSTAND.

BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO GO FORTH WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT

[00:10:03]

I DO THINK R-6 IS AN ADEQUATE ZONING FOR THAT AREA.

>> WELL, MOST PEOPLE THAT HAVE AFFORDABLE HOMES DO HAVE CHILDREN. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE BUILDING FOR, BUILDING FOR FAMILIES. YOU ARE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT SINGLE PEOPLE. THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR APARTMENTS, YOU KNOW, FOR SOMEONE.

BUT I JUST DON'T THINK R-6 WOULD BE GOOD FOR A .61.

IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR AMENITIES.

I WOULD HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU.

I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO BUT IT SEEMED LIKE IT IS JUST GOING AGAINST WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO HERE.

SEEMS LIKE JUSTIFICATION TO ME. BUT THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON HOLLEMAN.

>> COUNCILPERSON: I WILL SKIP BOTH ZONINGS, TOTAL HOW MANY R-6 BUILDINGS CAN YOU PUT ON BOTH LOTS?

>> SO, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT MY BREAKDOWN, YOU HAVE THOSE PARAMETERS, MINIMUM LOT ACREAGE. I KIND OF DID THE RESEARCH AND SAW WHAT I COULD DO. .61, BREAK DOWN TO THE ACREAGE, I'M LOOKING AT THIS REQUIRE OF THE 5,000 SQUARE FEET.

LOOKING AT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIVE AND SIX HOMES THAT WE COULD

BUILD ON THOSE LOTS. >> THANK YOU.

>> I HAVEN'T HAD ANYONE REACH OUT AS FAR AS PEOPLE AGAINST IT.

I HAVE WALKED DOWN CALDWELL LANE AND SPOKE TO PEOPLE OUT PLANTING THEIR YARD. AND I DID INFORM THEM OF THE REZONE CHANGE, I GOT THE -- THE FEEDBACK I GOT, THEY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OF AN OPINION. THANK YOU.

>> COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: HI, YES, I ATTENDED THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING ON THE INFORMAL MEETING ON FRIDAY.

THERE WAS A CONVERSATION ABOUT PARKING FOR THE PUBLIC HOUSING.

I WENT THERE AFTER THE MEETING AND DROVE AROUND.

IT WAS AT 4:30 IN THE AFTERNOON. SO BOTH SIDES OF THAT ROAD WERE FULL OF CARS. AND I WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS NO ASSIGNED PARKING FOR ANY OF THE APARTMENTS THAT FACE CALDWELL LANE. I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU MET WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WAS PARKING FOR THE CURRENT RESIDENTS AND YOUR RESIDENTS AND HOW ARE THEY GOING TO COMING OFF YOUR PROPERTY, WAS THAT DISCUSSED?

>> NOT THAT I CAN RECALL, NO. >> SO I HAVE A CONCERN BECAUSE, I THINK, ONCE YOU INFILL AND PUT THOSE HOMES THERE, THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE AND THE STREET DEPARTMENT, I'M SURPRISED, DIDN'T HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.

WHERE ARE WE AT GIVING PARKING. THERE'S ROOM IN THE PUBLIC HOUSING AREA TO PROVIDE PARKING BUT THEY DON'T HAVE IT.

THAT'S MY CONCERN FOR THIS AREA. INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE ROAD. ONCE THESE HOMES COME IN, THERE'S NO MORE PARKING THERE OR IT WILL BE SOME ISSUES WITH THE COMMUNITY. SO THAT'S MY CONCERN FOR THE AREA. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD

TALKED ABOUT THAT AT ALL. >> I JUST WANT TO -- YOU ARE SAYING YOUR CONCERN IS THAT THE RESIDENCE ACROSS, SO THE APARTMENTS, CURRENTLY USING STREETS.

>> BOTH SIDES. THEY HAVE NO ASSIGNED PARKING.

>> THERE WASN'T PARKING BUILT WHEN THOSE APARTMENTS WERE

BUILT. >> RIGHT.

SO THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS A PROBLEM.

>> WHETHER YOU GO R-2 OR R-6? >> I WILL BE FRANK.

I DON'T OPPOSE R-6. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THE R-6 AND SUPPORT THOSE ADDITIONAL HOMES BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THEN WE ARE PITTING -- WE'RE GOING TO REALLY -- IN A YEAR'S WORTH, WE WILL REALLY HAVE SOME PROBLEMS. THIS OTHER COMMUNITY THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME WILL TRULY NOT -- AND NOT THAT IT IS I WOULD HAVE HOPED THEY WOULD HAVE DISCUSSED THAT. IT WAS PART OF THE CRVETION.

IT IS NOT AN UNKNOWN ISSUE. THEY BROUGHT IT UP.

THAT'S HOW I KNEW TO GO LOOK FOR IT.

>> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON ALLEN,

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> SO I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. MINE WAS ABOUT THE PARKING.

ARE YOU PLANNING AND HAVING DRIVEWAYS FOR YOUR R-6?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> THEY WILL HAVE ADEQUATE

PARKING FOR THEIR HOMES. >> CORRECT.

>> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON

REYNOLDS. >> YOU PLAN TO HAVE IT IN THE

FRONT. >> SO FRANKLY, I FIGURED THAT.

THEY ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. BUT IT IS GOING TO BE THESE CARS

[00:15:02]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. WE OWE THE CURRENT RESIDENTS A

PLACE TO PARK. >> I UNDERSTAND.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON HOLLEMAN, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: SO BASICALLY, IF YOU HEAD NORTH ON EVANSON FERRY ROAD, THERE'S R-6 BUILDINGS.

IT IS GOING TO BE LIKE THAT. YOU PARK IN THE FRONT.

HAVE ABOUT TWO CARS PARKING. >> YEAH.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THERE IS GOING TO BE A TRAFFIC JAM. IT IS JUST GOING TO BE TOO CONGESTED. WE ARE ALREADY DEALING WITH TRAFFIC NOW THAT THE ROADS CANNOT HANDLE.

THIS IS NOTHING AGAINST YOU. I WANT TO YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS PLAN, THE WHOLE PLAN, NOT JUST PART OF THE PLAN. I KNOW WE WANT TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT DO WE HAVE THE ROAD, THE SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE THE TRAFFIC. TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM NOT GETTING RAN OVER. OR AN ADULT.

I'M NOT AGAINST YOU, MA'AM, I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

I AM FOR THE CITIZENS WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC IN THE AREA. OKAY.

I HAVE GOTTEN SOME COMPLAINTS, THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT UP.

OKAY? THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: ANY OTHER COMMENT OR QUESTION FOR MISS F FREDERICK, THANK YOU, MA'AM. YOU ARE FINISHED? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 12? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 12? NOW READY FOR ITEM 2, ORDINANCE 13- 2022-23.

APPLICATION OF AVA HOMES, LLC, BRYAN GERWITZ, AGENT, FOR ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK.

>> AMBAR FREDERICK. AGAIN, THIS IS ANOTHER LOT THAT WE OWN. SAME AREA, THE SAME THING WE ARE TRYING TO DO. JUST BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING, CREATE THAT OWNER OCCUPIED HOUSING FOR THE RESIDENTS OF

CLARKSVILLE. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU, COUNCILPERSON ZACHARIAS, YOU HAD A QUESTION.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

SO I'M LOOKING AT THE APPLICANT STATEMENT FOR PROPOSED USE ON THE APPLICATION HERE. IT SAYS FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS LARGE PARCEL INTO AFFORDABLE HOUSING LOTS.

WHAT M METRIC ARE YOU USING TO DETERMINE AFFORDABLE.

THE HUD GUIDELINES, 80 PERCENT OF MEDIAN INCOME?

>> YES. >> DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT HAPPENS

TO BE. >> NO, SO WE BUILT A COUPLE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSES ACROSS CLARKSVILLE.

THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME WE ARE DOING IT.

WE REALLY DO TRY TO LOOK AT AREAS THAT WE CAN BUILD UP.

I'M NOT A NATIVE OF CLARKSVILLE. I WASN'T BORN AND RAISED HERE BUT I DID GET OUT OF THE MILITARY HERE, I LOVE IT HERE, WE MADE IT OUR HOME. THIS IS SOMETHING WE TRY DO IN AN EFFORT TO CONTINUE TO BUILD UP CLARKSVILLE BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE, LIKE I SAID, WE RESIDE AND WHERE WE WORK.

>> OKAY. I WOULD SHAY THAT THE MEDIAN INCOME FOR MONTGOMERY COUNTY IS ABOUT $32,000 A YEAR.

SO USING THE 80% OF THAT, THE HUD GUIDELINES AND USING THE RULE OF THUMB OF ABOUT ONE THIRD OF MONTHLY SALARY FOR HOUSING.

ABOUT $715 A MONTH. DOES THAT SOUND ABOUT .

>> 715 A MONTH FOR A MORTGAGE PAYMENT WOULD EQUATE TO -- I CAN'T DO MATH. I DON'T KNOW.

I'M NOT GOING TO STAND HERE AND TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT.

>> I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BIG A,

LITTLE A. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON

REYNOLDS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: YES, I SHOULD HAVE ASKED THIS BEFORE. SO ON THIS LOT, THE SECOND ONE, IS ON THE CORNER OF CALDWELL AND ROBERTS.

WILL THE ENTRANCE STILL BE ON CALDWELL OR CONSIDER CHANGING TO

PUT SOME ADDRESSES ON ROBERTS? >> NOTHING SET IN STONE.

I WANT TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE AREA, LIKE MISS SMITH WAS SAYING. LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC.

WHAT WILL WORK BEST. NOTHING SET IN STONE.

SO DEFINITELY STUDENT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

>> COUNCILPERSON ALLEN, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> I JUST WANTED TO ADD TO WHAT PREVIOUS COUNCILPERSON WAS SAYING. WHEN THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE

[00:20:01]

LOOKING AT -- IT DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE HOUSEHOLD.

SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT -- YOU MIGHT -- A FAMILY HERE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, THEY ARE LOOKING AT, IF THEY HAVE A FAMILY OF FIVE, THEIR INCOME, LOOKING AT 80% OF THE MEDIAN AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, FOR A FIVE FAMILY HOME, YOU MAY BE LOOKING AT A $1,100 MORTGAGE PAYMENT. NOT ADDED WITH THE ESCROW AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF. OKAY.

I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MISS FREDERICK, THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 13? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 13? NEXT ITEM ON PUBLIC HEARING AN END, ITEM 3, ORDINANCE 14-2022-23 FIRST READING, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND MAP OF THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE, APPLICATION OF MID STATE PROPERTIES, KOLT MILAM, AGENT, ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 14? FULL GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS -- IF YOU WILL GIVE US YOUR NAME ADDRESS.

>> KOLT MILAM, WE ARE REQUESTING THE REZONING TO BRING MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO THE AREA. WE BELIEVE THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL FITS THE SURROUNDING ZONING DENSITY.

THE STRUCTURE WILL BE A BRICK OR HARDY FACE WITH SLEEK MODERN INTERIOR. I HAVE AN ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE WILL BUILD. IF THIS REZONING PASS, WE BELIEVE IT WILL BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY BY BRINGING AFFORDABLE HOME TO THE COMMUNITY IN NEED. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

YOU MAY HAVE. >> THANK YOU, MR. MILAM.

COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO BUILD THE COMMUNITY.

MY QUESTION AND CONCERN IS, HOW MANY -- IS THIS GOING TO BE HOMES, HOW MANY ARE YOU PLANNING TO BUILT?

>> JUST ONE HOME. >> ONE HOME.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> ALL RIGHT.

WHAT'S THE SIZE OF THIS LOT? >> I'M NOT SURE THE EXACT DIMENSIONS ON THE LOT. LITTLE BIT WIDER?

>> IS IT AN ACRE. >> NO, MA'AM.

IT IS IN BETWEEN -- BASICALLY ZONED R-3 RIGHT NOW.

R-3. SO IT IS IN BETWEEN TWO STRUCTURES, BASICALLY JUST TRYING TO USE THE LAND AND HAVE BETTER DENSIFY THE AREA. WHOLE REASON FOR THE R-6 ZONING.

>> I HEAR YOU SAY, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

YOU WANT TO BUILD HOMES, YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR US TO LOOK AT.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THE SIZE OF THE ACRES, SO HOW DO YOU HAVE THE PLAN IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE SIZE OF THE ACRES.

>> WE HAVEN'T HAD IT SURVEYED OFF.

>> YOU HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING DONE.

>> NOT SURVEYED. WE KNOW IT IS AT LEAST 28-FOOT WIDE, MINIMUM IS 25. SO IT WOULD BE 28 TO 35-FOOT WIDE LOT. I KNOW THAT.

ONCE IT IS SURVEYED, WHICH IS LARGER THAN A TYPICAL R-6

MINIMUM WHICH IS 25. >> I PRAY YOU ARE TELLING ME THE

TRUTH. >> YOU CAN CHECK ME.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> COUNCILPERSON ALLEN, YOU ARE

RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: SO JUST TO KIND OF TELL WHAT THE ACREAGE IS, .13 ACRES PER OUR INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

SO RIGHT NOW I SEE A LITTLE STRUCTURE ON IT.

WHAT IS IS THAT? >> ON THE LEFT SIDE, A TRI-PLEX.

RIGHT SIDE IS SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

THE LOS ANGELES IS TO PUT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME IN BETWEEN THE TWO. THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM TO DO IT

WITH HAVING A BACKYARD. >> THAT'S NOT A STRUCTURE.

>> TRI-PLEX AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

>> SO YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO TEAR THAT DOWN? THE PLAN IS TO -- IF IT GETS ZONED R-6, WE WILL PUT A STRUCTURE RIGHT IN BETWEEN THEM. THAT'S THE PLAN.

>> MY QUESTION IS THE SAME. AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE APPLICANT PROPOSED USE, YOU MENTIONED IT TONIGHT, TO CREATE AFFORDABLE SINGLE FAMILY LOT. AFFORDABLE, HUD DEFINITION OF

AFFORDABLE? >> SO I DID THE RESEARCH WHILE YOU WERE ASKING HER. IN CASE YOU ASK ME THE SAME QUESTION, SINGLE FAMILY HOME, MEDIAN INCOME, CLARKSVILLE, IT COULD BE INCORRECT. $63,000 IS THE MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME. NOT SAYING INDIVIDUAL.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, JUST A SIMPLE QUICK, ABOUT TWO MINUTES

[00:25:05]

NOT INCLUDING TAXES AND INSURANCE.

SO THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TAX AND INSURANCE, PROPERTY TAXES AND THAT WOULD BE.

AT 1500, NOT INCLUDING THAT, WOULD GIVE YOU ABOUT $1,500 A MONTH PAYMENT. SO TRACK THAT.

THAT WOULD BE AROUND $200,000 HOME, WHICH I THINK IS VERY

DOABLE IN THIS AREA. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON ALLEN.

>> YOU DO 63,000 AS MEDIAN, THEN YOU TAKE 80% OF 63,000.

SO THAT LEAVES YOU WHAT? 50 SOMETHING THOUSAND, AND THEN

YOU DO ONE THIRD OF THAT. >> OKAY, YES, MA'AM.

>> MAYOR: MATH CLASS IS IN SESSION.

COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

>> THREE BED, TWO BATH. I HAVE THE PLANS IF YOU WOULD

LIKE TO SEE THEM. >> MAYOR: OKAY.

ANY OTHER MATH YOU WANT TO DO? >> WE CAN TRY IT.

>> THANK YOU, MR. MILAM. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 14? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 14?

I'M THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, LOOKING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HOUSING FOR INFILL DEVELOPMENT. KEEP IT SIMPLE.

>> ANY COMMENT OR QUESTION FOR MR. LA BLANC OF THE

COUNCILPERSON SMITH. >> COUNCILPERSON: TO UPGRADE THE AREA. HOW MANY HOMES DO YOU LOS

ANGELES TO BUILD? >> SHOULD ONLY BE TWO.

>> TWO HOMES. WHAT SIZE IS THE LOT?

>> THE LOT SHOULD BE .17, I BELIEVE.

>> 17. TWO HOMES?

WHAT SIZE? >> SMALLER HOMES, SO BASICALLY

PROBABLY TWO BEDROOM, TWO BATH. >> WHAT SQUARE FOOTAGE.

>> THAT HASN'T BEEN DETERMINED BUT PROBABLY SOMETHING

REASONABLE LIKE 1500. >> YOU SAY 1500, I'M WITH YOU.

ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP YOUR WORD? >> MAYOR: LET'S BE CAREFUL NOT

TO NEGOTIATE. >> PUTTING THE THOUGHT OUT THERE FOR YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENT OR QUESTION? SEEING NONE, THANK YOU, SIR.

OKAY. SO HOW MANY HOUSES ARE YOU

PLANNING TO BUILD ON THIS LOT? >> THIS WOULD BE TWO AS WELL.

>> TWO AS WELL. NO OPPOSITION FROM ANYBODY THAT

FIVE MINES. >> JEROME TRIGGS.

ACTUALLY, THE PROPERTY RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO WHERE THE REQUESTED REZONING IT. I'M HERE TO ASK THE COU COUNCILO

[00:30:02]

ADDITIONALLY, THE MAP THAT WAS PRODUCED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WHEN THEY HAD THEIR MEETING DISPLAYS CROSS LANE WHICH IS THE ADJACENT ROAD, GOING DOWN AND T-ING AND GOING TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION WHERE IT DOES NOT.

SO THE CITY WOULD BE THEN OBLIGATED BY APPROVING THIS REZONING TO MAKE THAT ROAD MATCH THE MAP, AS WELL.

WITHOUT THE EXTENSION OF CROSS LANE, IN A PROPERTY ONLY HAS 65F ROAD FRONTAGE WHICH WOULD MINIMIZE AND CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH PARKING IF MULTIPLE HOUSES WERE BUILT ON THAT PROPERTY.

THAT'S WHAT I HAVE GLMENT THANK >> MAYOR: THANK YOU, MR. TRIGGS.

COUNCILPERSON BUTLER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I HAD A QUESTION BECAUSE THIS ONE IS -- OH, MY GOODNESS. GREENWOOD AND LYNES.

>> AND THEN WE HAVE ONE FOUR AGO THAT WAS -- THREE AGO THAT WAS ALSO GREENWOOD AND LYNES. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH ORDINANCE 14 THAT YOU HAVE WITH ORDINANCE 17?

>> ORDINANCE 14, I DON'T HAVE ISSUE WITH BECAUSE IT IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF GREENWOOD AND LYNES.

THIS ONE, IN THE ORIGINAL ZONING APPLICATION, I GUESS, TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THAT WILL SAY, LIKE, 465 FEET FROM THE INTERSECTION WITH GREENWOOD AND LYNES STREET.

>> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: ANY OTHER COMMENT OR QUESTION? THANK YOU, SIR.

>> MAYOR: ANY COMMENT OR QUESTION? COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

SORRY. >> THAT'S OKAY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I KNOW WHO I WAS DEALING WITH HERE.

HOW MANY UNITS DO YOU WANT TO BUILD?

>> WE HAVEN'T DETERMINED. THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD PUT IN A NUMBER ON THE STUFF YOU RECEIVED.

200 UNITS. >> ON NEEDMORE ROAD?

>> YES. NEEDMORE ROAD IS FIXING TO BE

WIDENED. >> BUT IT AIN'T YET.

BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT YOU IS YOU LIVE THERE.

[00:35:01]

>> YES, MA'AM. >> SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING INTO WITH THE TRAFFIC AND I UNDERSTAND YOU JUST SAID ABOUT THE WIDEN BEINING AND STUFF. I WANTED TO ASK YOU, SINCE THAT'S YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY ESTIMATED 246, WE SAID THAT.

>> WHATEVER THAT SAYS. >> HOW FAR ARE YOU FROM THIS PROPERTY? ARE YOU NEXT DOOR?

MILE AWAY? >> I'M LIKE MAYBE QUARTER OF A MILE. I GREW UP.

I WAS PROBABLY IN THE THIRD GRADE WHEN WE MOVED THERE.

I DON'T LIVE ON THAT SAME HOUSE BUT TWO HOUSES DOWN NOW.

SO FIVE HOUSES AROUND IN A COUPLE MILE RADIUS.

>> THAT WAS THE COUNTRY. I REMEMBER.

>> THERE HAS BEEN SOME OPPOSITION BUT -- AND I MET WITH THEM. PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE.

THEY MOVE IN AND GET THEIR HOME. I DON'T LIKE TRAFFIC EITHER.

I BELIEVE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO GET HOUSING.

WHEN THEY GET THEIR HOME, THEY DON'T WANT ANYBODY ELSE TO COME IN. THEY CAUSE TRAFFIC.

THEY DON'T WANT ANYBODY ELSE TO BRING TRAFFIC.

SCHOOLS, BRING THEIR KIDS IN. AFTER THEY GET IN THERE, THEN THEY DON'T WANT NOBODY ELSE TO COME IN.

>> YOU DON'T THINK, AS A PERSON WHO LIVES THERE IN THAT COMMUNITY, YOU CAN TOLERATE THIS AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL PEOPLE AND

TRAFFIC, YOU PERSONALLY. >> I PERSONALLY CAN BECAUSE HERE'S HOW I SEE ABOUT HOUSING. THERE'S THREE MAIN NEEDS PEOPLE HAVE. FOOD, CLOTHING AND HOUSING, RIGHT? SO I CAN PUT UP WITH OTHER -- I LIKE PEOPLE TO HAVE HOUSING. AFFORDABLE.

WE NEED MORE. IF WE DON'T BUILD MORE HOUSES AND APARTMENTS IN CLARKSVILLE, YOU KNOW HOW HIGH THE RENTSZ ARE GOING UP RIGHT NOW. SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

IF WE DON'T KEEP BUILDING, IT IS GOING TO KEEP GOING UP.

I FEEL FOR PEOPLE AT LOW INCOME THAT CAN'T AFFORD IT.

BECAUSE RENTS HAVE ALMOST DOUBLED IN SOME AREAS.

I REALLY FEEL FOR LOW INCOME PEOPLE AND PEOPLE ON FIXED

INCOME. >> I APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. >> COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS, YOU

ARE RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: HI.

I WANTED TO -- IN MARCH AND APRIL 2021, WE WERE DISCUSSING PURCHASING THIS PROPERTY FROM YOU FOR GREEN SPACE AND FOR THE NORTH CLARKSVILLE. HAVE YOU -- SO YOU HAVE HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED IN SELLING TO THE CITY? WAS THAT CONVERSATION HAD WITH

YOU? >> I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS. I'M WILLING TO HELP AND PROVIDE LAND. MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THE LAND WAS NOT GOOD FOR WHAT THE CITY NEEDED.

>> WAS THERE A FORMAL CONVERSATION?

BETWEEN YOU AND THE CITY? >> DOES THIS PERTAIN TO THE

ZONING? >> WELL, WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE, 79-2021 THAT WAS PASSED IN APRIL OF 2021 DIRECTING THAT WE

PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY. >> MAYOR: NO, NO.

IT WAS A BUDGET AMENDMENT. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

IT WAS BUDGET AMENDMENT TO ALLOCATE MONEY FUNDING TO PURCHASE PROPERTY. THIS PROPERTY WAS IDENTIFIED.

IT WAS NOT NAMED IN THE ORDINANCE.

SO YOUR QUESTION NEEDS TO PERTAIN TO THE ZONING, PLEASE.

>> COUNCILPERSON: ALL RIGHT. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON ALLEN,

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: SO MR. BELEW, WE ALL MET. I MET WITH YOU AND I MET WITH SEVERAL CONSTITUENTS AND THEY HAD SOME BIG QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE PLANNING TO BUILD THERE.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU TOLD THE -- AT THE MEETING THAT WE HAD. CAN YOU TELL WHAT YOU ARE

PLANNING TO BUILD THERE? >> YES.

WE HAVE BEEN -- THE LATEST APARTMENTS I HAVE BEEN DOING, THEY ALL WERE GATED COMMUNITIES WITH CLUBHOUSES, SWIMMING POOLS AND ALL THE AMENITIES. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE SOME NICE APARTMENTS. THERE'S MORE AFFORDABLE AND OLDER APARTMENTS. THIS WOULD BE HIGHER END.

I THINK THERE IS A BIG DEMAND FOR THAT RIGHT IS NOW.

>> YOU ARE PLANNING ON HAVING CLUBHOUSES, POOLS.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A CONCRETE JUNGLE OVER THERE. IT IS NOT JUST GOING TO BE A BUNCH OF APARTMENTS STUFFED IN THERE.

>> IT WILL BE A LOT OF CONCRETE, IT REQUIRES A LOT OF PARKING.

IT WILL BE NICE. I CAN'T SAY IT WON'T HAVE A LOT

OF CONCRETE. >> I KNOW A LOT OF THE CONCERNS IS THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY GREEN SPACE, ANY AMENITIES.

>> IT WILL BE A LOT OF AMENITIES.

WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD A NICE COMPLEXES.

>> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON

[00:40:01]

REYNOLDS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: FIRST I LIKE TO SAY, UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE ONLY VOTING ON THE REZONING.

WE DON'T VOTE ON WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE AFTERWARDS.

THERE IS NOT A LOT OF GREEN SPACE OR PARK IN THAT AREA.

WHILE IT WASN'T MENTIONED THIS WOULD BECOME A PARK, IT WAS DISCUSSED IN PUBLIC MEETING, THAT THAT WAS THE ASSUMPTION WE WOULD PURCHASE THIS. WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO THAT IF THE

ZONING DIDN'T PASS? >> I WOULD BE OPEN TO IT.

>> MAYOR: ANY OTHER COMMENT OR QUESTION?

THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 18? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHICH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 18? PLEASE COME FORWARD, GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES, SIR.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON COUNCIL, MAYOR.

NAME JOHNNY HAMMER. I LIVE AT 1751 HAZELWOOD ROAD.

BASICALLY RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PROPOSED REZONING. I MADE A LETTER, I DIDN'T GET INTO THE REZONING COMMISSION STUFF. I TRAVEL A LOT.

SO I WAS OUT OF TOWN. BUT HOPEFULLY YA'LL GOT COPIES OF IT. PRETTY MUCH, WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP? WE HAVE SO MANY APARTMENTS IN WARD 8 RIGHT NOW. AND MR. BELEW WAS TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THEN TALKING ABOUT WE WANT TO MAKE ALL THIS HIGH END HOUSING. BUT IT IS KIND OF CONTRADICTORY, YOU KNOW? I'M JUST SAYING THE SCHOOLS ARE OVERCROWDED THERE. THERE'S 116% AT PISCAL ELEMENTARY, WITH THE 7 PORTABLES THEY ALREADY HAVE.

THEY DON'T HAVE ROOM TO PUT MORE PORTABLES IF THEY WANTED TO.

THE OTHER THINGS, THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS.

AND ONLY THREE WAYS TO GET OUT OF THERE.

GO DOWN HAZELWOOD, GET OUT ON TRENTON, GOOD LUCK ANY TIME OF DAY. THEN YOU HAVE TO GO UP ON NEEDMORE. HIT TINY TOWN OR WHITFIELD ROAD.

WE ARE WORKING ON ALLEVIATING THAT STUFF, BUT IT IS YET TO BE SEEN IF IT IS GOING TO WORK. A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON OVER THERE. THAT'S BASICALLY IT.

>> THANK YOU, MR. HAMMER, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. HAMMER?

SEEING NONE. >> I DO HAVE SOME PICTURES OF THE LOVELY HIGH QUALITY WORKS THAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE, THE APARTMENTS NOT ON THE REZONING, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PISCA LYNES ELEMENTARY. CALELEMENTARY.

THE APARTMENTS, SAME TYPE OF APARTMENTS HE WANTS TO PUT ON THE OTHER SIDE. THAT'S WHERE THE APARTMENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SITTING ON, ON TOP OF THAT RIDGE.

>> I THINK THAT'S A DIFFERENT OWNER, IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN.

SAME ONE? OKAY.

IF YOU HAND TO MR. LIEUTENANT GILL, HE WILL CIRCULATE THAT.

ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 18? WE OFFER THE CHANCE FOR REBUTTAL.

IF YOU SPOKE IN FAVOR OF THIS ORDINANCE, WOULD LIKE TO OFFER REBUTTAL FOR WHAT HAS BEEN SAID, YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME FORWARD.

WE ALLOW ONE PERSON TO OFFER REBUTTAL.

YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES, NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE, SIR.

>> BILL BELEW. YES, WE DID PUT THAT RETAINING WALL UP AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS WITH THIS THREE-INCH IN ABOUT AN HOUR, THE RAIN WASHED UNDER THE FOUNDATION SO WE ARE CORRECTINGS THAT NOW. I ADMIT, I HAVE MY FAULTS AND HAVE PROBLEMS. WE ARE PLANNING TO USE CONCRETE TO HOLD IT. IF YOU LOOKED AT IT, YOU NEVER IMAGINE THAT WATER COULD WASH THAT BAD.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. I DEFINITELY MAKE MISTAKES.

>> MR. BELEW, WE HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT.

COUNCILPERSON BUTLER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> IS THAT THE RAIN THAT JUST HAPPENED LIKE LAST WEEK.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> THIS JUST HAPPENED.

I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT MY NEIGHBORHOOD, BUILD IN 2006, NOT BY YOU, HAD -- WE HAD FLOODING IN THE BASEMENTS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD FROM THAT RAIN AND ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WERE, LIKE,

[00:45:02]

WATER WAS COMING IN. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THAT WAS A FREAK OCCURRENCE. THANK YOU.

>> I WISH I COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED IT.

BUT IT WOULD HAVE SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY.

>> THANK YOU, MR. BELEW. IF YOU SPOKE AGAINST ORDINANCE 18 AND WISH TO OFFER WHAT WE REFER TO AS SURREBUTTAL, YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME UP. COME TO THE MICROPHONE, SIR, NAME AND ADDRESS, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

>> JOHNNY HAMMER. BUT THE RAIN WASN'T REALLY THREE INCHES AT ONE TIME. TWO INCHES ONE NIGHT, INCH THE NEXT NIGHT. I HAVE RAIN GAUGE.

I CHECK IT OUT RELIGIONLY. RELI. EVERY YEAR WE GET AT LEAST TWO TO THREE INCHES AT A TIME, THREE OR FOUR TIMES A YEAR.

SO THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED -- IT REALLY HASN'T RAINED SINCE THAT WALL WAS PUT UP. IT WAS PUT UP SOMETIME IN MAY.

REALLY JUNE, JULY HAS BEEN DRY. I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT OUT AS THE HIGH QUALITY OF WORK THAT I BELIEVE IS GOING ON.

THAT'S ALL. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

WE ARE NOW READY FOR ITEM 8, ORDINANCE 19-2022-23 FIRST READING, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND MAP OF THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE, APPLICATION OF BYARD & MABRY HOLDINGS FOR ZONE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 19? IF YOU WOULD, GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, YOU HAVE FIVE

MINUTES. >> LAWSON MABRY.

THIS IS -- IF YOU REMEMBER LAST YEAR, WE CAME UP WITH REZONING.

OUR PRELIMINARY PLAT HAD LITTLE OVER 300 LOTS, WHICH WAS ABOVE THE 250 LIMIT FOR ONE ENTRANCE IN.

SO WE WENT OUT AND BOUGHT THREE TRACTS FROM THE WALKER HEIRS WHICH WE WILL USE FOR SECOND ENTRANCE.

THREE DIFFERENT TRACTS. ONE WAS R-1, TWO WERE AG.

WE ARE ASKING FOR EXTENSION OF OUR EXISTING R-2 ZONING TO MATCH UP WITH WHAT YOU GRANTED US LAST YEAR.

I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: IN OUR NOTES, DID IT HAVE A UNIT OR POPULATION, IS THIS JUST TO PUT A ROAD ON.

>> THERE WILL BE SOME LOTS. WE WILL PUT LOTS DOWN.

WE SUBMITTED A PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH THE APPLICATION AND I THINK ON THIS -- I WAS DOING A LOT OF CALCULATING, EVERYBODY GETTING INTO LOT SIZE. THE PLAT THAT WE SHOWED, I THINK 8.53 ACRES. WE HAVE 23 LOTS.

>> 23 LOTS. >> IT IS LIKE .37 ACRES A LOT.

SO IT IS A GOOD BIT LARGER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING.

WE WON'T GET VERY MANY LOTS, IT IS IRREGULAR TRACT.

PART OF THE ROAD WE CAN'T GET LOTS ON.

>> I WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS JUST AN ENTRANCE.

USUALLY, THEY TELL US. >> TEN ACRES.

WE WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY IMPROVE A COUPLE OF OUR LAYOUTS.

IT IS KIND OF A VIRTUOUS, GOOD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND GOOD FOR US. I THINK IT WORKED OUT FINE.

WE -- THOSE HEIRS GOT A LOT OF MONEY.

THEY KNEW WE NEEDED IT. WE WERE HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO FIX THAT ONE PROBLEM THAT WE HAD WITH THE DEVEL DEVELOPMENT.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

SIR, YOU ARE MR. MABRY. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT LEFT TURN LANE.

>> THEY ASKED US TO LOOK -- WE WILL HAVE TO WIDEN THE ROAD FOR OUR MAIN ENTRANCE DOWN FURTHER. THEY HAVE ASKED US TO LOOK AT A LEFT TURNING LANE. WE WILL CERTAINLY DO THAT.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE DO OUR ENGINEERING. TWO OR THREE YEARS BEFORE THIS DEVELOPMENT IS BUILT. WE WILL CERTAINLY CONSIDER THAT.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> MAYOR: ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR MR. MABRY. THANK YOU, SIR.

ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 19? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 19? NEXT ITEM ON OUR PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA IS ITEM 9, ORDINANCE 20-2022-23 FIRST READING, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE, AS IT PERTAINS TO UPDATES TO TOW-IN LOTS AND WRECKER SERVICES. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 20? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK AGAINST ORDINANCE 20? COUNCILPERSON STREETMAN, YOU ARE

RECOGNIZED. >> MAYOR, I MOVE WE GO BACK INTO

REGULAR SESSION. >> MOTION MADE AND PROPERLY SECONDED TO REVERT TO REGULAR SESSION.

WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE ARE NOW IN REGULAR SESSION.

COUNCILPERSON STREETMAN. AORDINANCE

[00:50:04]

BOTH THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND I SO MOVE.

>> MOTION HAS BEEN MADE PROPERL. PLEASE VOTE. ANY COMMENT.

COUNCILPERSON BUTLER, RECOGNIZED.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I WANTED TO MAKE A COUPLE COMMENTS. ANY WANT TO PUT IT DURING PUBLIC SESSION. BUT I WANTED TO MAKE A COUPLE COMMENTS HERE. THESE FIVE, SIX OF THEM.

THE R-6, WE ARE TRYING TO PUT DOWNTOWN OR CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN, THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF R-6. WE ARE SAYING NO TO R-6S UP IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF TOWN BECAUSE THEY DON'T FIT THE AREA BECAUSE THIS IS AN INFILL DESIGNATION. FOR THE FIRST TWO, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT OUR SCHOOLS, I ESPECIALLY DON'T TALK ABOUT IT A LOT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE SCOPE OVER THAT.

ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE OVER HUNDRED PERCENT.

THESE SCHOOLS ARE AT 9%. 89%.

OF ALL THE PLACES WE ARE BUILDING AND PUTTING THINGS, THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT -- NOT THAT I THINK 89 PERCENT IS GOOD, IT IS BETTER THAN 116% WHICH IS ON THE NEEDMORE ONES.

ANOTHER THING I WANT TO SAY, THE COUNTY DECLINES REZONES BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT URBAN SPRAWL. WE ARE DECLINING REZONES AND INFILL IN THE CITY. WE ARE DECLINING EVERYTHING THAT'S WHAT I CALL UP ON THE HILL, WHICH IS IN MY AREA, WARD 8, WARD 9. THAT'S UP IN THE HILL BECAUSE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE. WE WANT TO DECLINE EVERYTHING IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND, I MEAN, IT IS A DOWNTOWN AREA.

WE NEED TO INCREASE DENSITY DOWN THERE.

I KNOW THAT EVERY TIME I SIT UP HERE AND SAY THAT, EVERYONE GETS FRUSTRATED WITH ME. BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE COMING HERE. WE CAN'T DO A MORATORIUM, NOT LEGAL A AND UNETHICAL. THE PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN HOTELS IN WARD 12. AND I HAVE SAID THAT FROM TIME TO TIME BECAUSE IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY FRUSTRATING TO ME THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN HOTELS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE PLACES FOR THEM TO GO. I ASK YOU GUYS, I KNOW I SAY YES TO EVERYTHING. MAYBE THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE RIGHT ANSWER. BUT THERE ARE THOSE OF US THAT SIT UP HERE AND SAY NO TO EVERYTHING.

AND IT IS, LIKE, WHERE DO WE WANT THESE PEOPLE TO LIVE? BECAUSE THEY ARE HERE. IF THEY ARE NOT HERE, THEY ARE COMING HERE. THAT IS WHAT I HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE NEXT -- ALL OF THEM. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: YEAH, THANK YOU.

SO NOT TO NECESSARILY DEBATE. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I AM NOT OPPOSED TO R-6 HERE. BUT WHAT I DO IS I GO TO THE MEETINGS AND THEN I READ AND WHAT WE ARE NOT DOING, AS WE INFILL, IS SHOWING THE APPROPRIATE RESPECT TO THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE THERE. SO THERE'S ALREADY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH PARKING. IT WAS TALKED ABOUT AT RPC MEETING. BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THE COMMENTS OR IN THE REQUIREMENTS TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT WE THOUGH ABOUT AS WE INFILL. I'M ALL FOR INFILL BUT WE OWE IT TO OUR COMMUNITIES TO HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE OR AT LEAST TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE GOING TO FIX IT.

SO MY ONE QUESTION FOR THIS IS, AND I SHOULD KNOW THIS AND I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT IF THIS IS PUBLIC HOUSING, WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO ADD PARKING FOR THE PUBLIC HOUSING?

WHO WOULD PAY FOR THAT? >> MAYOR: PUBLIC HOUSING

AUTHORITY. >> COUNCILPERSON: BUT IS THAT

FEDERAL MONEY? >> MAYOR: ALL FEDERAL.

>> COUNCILPERSON: FEDERAL MONEY. SO THE PLAN -- MY CONCERN IS, WE DON'T HAVE A PLAN TO FIX A KNOWN ISSUE AS WE INFILL.

SO I UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES. BUT WE ARE AT THE POINT, WE CAN'T LET IT CATCH UP ANYMORE. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO SAY, WE WILL FIX IT LATER. BECAUSE THERE IS NO LATER ANYMORE. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND WE OWE -- WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL SIDES AS WE INFILL AND MAKE SURE WE ARE ADDRESSING ALL SIDES AND WE HAVE A PLAN.

IF SOMEONE SAID, OH, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT, WE ARE WORKING ON THAT, THIS IS WHAT -- THIS IS THE PLAN, IT MAY TAKE A COUPLE YEARS, THEN I WOULD BE OKAY WITH THIS.

THE PROBLEM IS, WE ARE NOT DOING THAT.

THAT'S WHY I HAVE CONCERNS FOR MANY OF THESE, N NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE INFILL BUT FOR RESPECT FOR THE COMMUNITIES.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON BUTLER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

[00:55:02]

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

WE CAN'T DEBATE, THIS IS MY LAST BITE AT THE APPLE.

I KNOW THAT YOU WILL AGREE WITH PORTIONS OF WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY. WE ARE AT -- WE TALK ALL THE TIME ABOUT GROWING PAINS, GROWING PAINS.

CLARKSVILLE IS IN A VERY WEIRD SITUATION WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THE DENSITY TO JUSTIFY THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

I HAVE SAID THIS ABOUT STUFF THAT IS UP ON THE HILL.

BUT THINKING OF THINGS LIKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

PEOPLE FORGET. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS ALSO INFRASTRUCTURE. EVERYBODY THAT LIVES DOWNTOWN, IF WE HAD A WALKABLE, BUSSABLE DOWNTOWN, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE WORKING TOWARD, THEN EVERYBODY WOULDN'T NEED SIX CARS, YOU KNOW, PER HOUSE. AND I'M GUILTY OF THAT UP IN THE SUBURBS. WE HAVE TWO CARS AT MY HOUSE.

BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE IN THAT AWKWARD TEENAGE YEARS.

EVEN THOUGH THAT IS -- I'M JUST USING A -- BUT I THINK THAT WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THINGS LIKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND I WANTED TO ASK YOU, SPECIFICALLY, BECAUSE IT IS YOUR WHEEL HOUSE,

ARE THERE SIDEWALKS DOWN THERE? >> MAYOR: THAT'S A QUESTION DIRECTED AT COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS.

>> COUNCILPERSON: OUR COUNCIL MEMBER FOR WARD 7 COULD ANSWER

IT, TOO. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON

HOLLEMAN, DIRECTED AT YOU. >> COUNCILPERSON: NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, I DO NOT REMEMBER THERE BEING SIDEWALKS.

THERE ARE SIDEWALKS OVER BY THE CHURCH.

SO FROM THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE ROAD.

THAT SIDEWALK ENDS, DOES NOT EXTEND AUTOMA ALL THE WAY DOWN E

DOLLAR STORE. >> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU.

THESE THINGS COUNT AS INFRASTRUCTURE.

NOT ALWAYS JUST ROADS. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, SIDEWALKS. WE VERY MUCH LIKE THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER SAID, WE HAVE GOT TO BE LOOKING AT ALL THE DIFFERENT SIDES OF THIS. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I HAVE DONE MY INVESTIGATION, LOOKING -- RIDING OVER AT CALDWELL LANE AND ROBERTS STREET, WARD 7.

NEXT TO MY WARD. THAT AREA IS TRASHED.

IT IS AWFUL. SO AND IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE PROJECTS THERE. IT IS SAD.

SO MY QUESTION IS, WHERE IS THE FRONTAGE OF THESE BUILDINGS WILL BE BUILT? SHE SAYS THERE'S GOING TO BE SIX? TOWARD THE HIGHWAY? OR IS IT GOING TO BE IN THE AREA OF THE HOUSING COMMUNITY? THE APARTMENTS. WHO CAN ANSWER THAT.

>> MAYOR: WE CAN'T ANSWER IT UNTIL -- IT IS A ZONING POSTURE CURRENTLY. IF IT GETS APPROVED ON SECOND READING, THEN THE DEVELOPER, BUILDER WOULD SUBMIT A SITE PLAN AND THAT WOULD DETERMINE WHERE DRIVEWAYS, WHERE LOT LINES ARE,

ALL THAT SORT OF THING. >> COUNCILPERSON: WELL, SINCE I DON'T KNOW AND I LOOKED AT THE AREA.

IT IS PRETTY BAD. IF IT IS GOING TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO THOSE PROJECTS, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE OR BETTER. IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP IN THAT AREA. I WAS JUST SHOCKED WHEN I RODE THROUGH THERE ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, TO LOOK AT THE AREA.

I SAW WHERE THE SIGN WAS. OH, MY GOD, THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD OVER HERE AND THIS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.

SO I DON'T KNOW. SIX THOUSAND IS NOT A LOT.

THE LOT IS SMALL. I DON'T KNOW.

I'M PUZZLED ABOUT THIS. BUT THANK YOU, MAYOR.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU. COUNCILPERSON ALLEN, YOU ARE

RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT THE PUBLIC HOUSING NEXT DOOR AND WE ARE LOOKING AT A LOT THERE, WE WANT TO GET AWAY FROM HAVING A PROJECT AREA, A PUBLIC HOUSING AREA AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE AROUND IT BUT THIS PUBLIC HOUSING.

THE THING ABOUT IT IS IS THAT MOST COMMUNITIES ARE -- HOPEFULLY SOON, IT WILL BE HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY.

BUT MOST COMMUNITIES ARE STARTING TO GET AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC HOUSING AND TURN THEM INTO MIXED USE HOUSING.

SO WE CANNOT KEEP SAYING, WELL, THIS IS THE PUBLIC HOUSING, WHY WOULD WE BUILD HERE? WE NEED TO BUILD THERE.

SO THAT THE NEIGHBORHOODS WILL NOT BE SO SEPARATED THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER THINGS.

SO I THINK IT IS VERY FAIR TO SAY, I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEMBER WAS SAYING ABOUT CLEANING IT UP.

[01:00:03]

YOU WANT COMMUNITIES TO BE MIXED USE.

THIS WILL ACTUALLY HELP IT TO BECOME MIXED USE, SO THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE NOT SO SEPARATED ANYMORE.

THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I WILL BE VOTING FOR THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE TO START LOOKING AT CHANGING OUR PROJECTS INTO MORE MIXED USE COMMUNITIES.

THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON

REYNOLDS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO BOTH PREVIOUS SPEAKERS ABOUT THIS.

I AGREE WITH THAT. AGAIN, I'M ASKING FOR SOME PARKING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY THERE AND SIDEWALK.

AGAIN, IF WE ARE GOING TO INFILL, I WOULD LIKE US TO LOOK AT ALL SIDES AND NEEDS TO BE IN WRITING.

IF IT IS NOT IN WRITING AND ADDRESSED, THEN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. LOOK AT NEEDMORE.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON HOLLEMAN.

>> COUNCILPERSON: IF YOU PULL UP YOUR MAP, I'M JUST GOING TO LOOK AT IT AND EXPLAIN IT. SO COMING DOWN EDMONDSON FERRY.

I DRIVE THROUGH THIS PRAISE TWOO OR THREE TIMES A DAY.

I GO TO THAT DOLLAR STORE ABOUT ONCE A DAY.

THAT INTERSECTION THERE, NEVER TRULY GETS EXTREMELY BACKED UP.

IT COULD BE BETTER, TIMING COULD BE BETTER.

I'M NOT SAYING IT IS PERFECT. BUT COMPARED TO OTHER INTERSECTIONS IN CLARKSVILLE, IT ISN'T THAT BAD.

IT DOES GET A LITTLE TIGHT. IF YOU GO FURTHER SOUTH WITH SOME OF THE CARS PARKED ON THE ROAD.

WITH R-6, SPECIFICALLY, THE ONES OFF EDMONDSON FERRY, YOU CAN PARK TWO CARS, THREE IN THE FRONT OF THE LOTS.

YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS OR HAD ANYBODY REACH OUT. THE PEOPLE I HAVE TALKED TO, THEY SEEM FAIRLY INDIFFERENT ABOUT IT.

I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR IT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE GOT, THANK

YOU. >> COUNCILPERSON REDD,

RECOGNIZED. >> SEEING HOW WE DEBATED ON THIS PUBLIC HEARING AND OF COURSE NOW AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL FOR

>> MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND PROPERLY SECONDED IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 17. COUNCILPERSON STREETMAN, YOU ARE

RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: YES, MAYOR.

I'M NOT SURE IF WE NEED TO DO THIS AS AMENDMENT OR CLARIFY THAT THERE IS A SCRIBNER'S ERROR ON THE AGENDA AND PAPERWORK.

IT IS ACTUALLY AT THE CORNER OF -- AT THE INTERSECTION OF GREENWOOD AND CROSS LANE. NOT GREENWOOD AVENUE AND LYNES STREET. THIS CAN BE CORRECTED ON THE

SECOND READING. >> MAYOR: OKAY. YOU HAVE HEARD THE EXPLANATION. ANY QUESTION ABOUT THAT EXPLANATION? SEEING NONE.

COUNCILPERSON BUTLER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: I THINK THAT YOU CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION, MAYOR. I DID HEAR WHAT THE PERSON WHO SPOKE AGAINST THIS HAD TO SAY. AND I DO THINK THAT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

ARE THOSE THINGS THAT WILL GET ADDRESSED DURING THE NEXT PHASE

WITH RPC? >> MAYOR: YES.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON MARQUIS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: I ALSO WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT.

I WAS LOOKING INTO DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT AND IT WAS BROUGHT UP ABOUT SEWAGE PIPES, INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO IT AND I HAVE AN E-MAIL SPECIFICALLY STATING THAT THE DEVELOPER IS NOT ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST AND INSTALLATION OF ALL GAS AND WATER AND SEWAGE INFRASTRUCTURE BUT ANY IMPACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE OUTSIDE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT. SO IN A NUTSHELL, DEVELOPER ARE RESPONSIBLE. JUST TO CLARIFY THAT.

THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENT OR QUESTION REGARDING ORDINANCE 17? COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

BOTH REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDED

APPROVAL AND I SO MOVE. >> MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND PROPERLY SECONDED IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE 18.

COUNCILPERSON ZACHARIAS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

WE ARE BACK ON NEEDMORE. AND YOU KNOW I CAN'T PASS UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT NEEDMORE.

SO I'M LOOKING HERE ONCE AGAIN AT THE PURPOSE OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE THAT WE ARE BEING ASKED TO AMEND RIGHT HERE.

IT SAYS THE PURPOSE OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS TO PROMOTE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, CONVENIENCE, ORDER, GENERAL WELFARE AND ALSO TO AVOID EXCESSIVE CONCENTRATIONS.

I WOULD ARGUE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE AN EXCESSIVE CONCENTRATION

[01:10:01]

WE HAVE RAISED TAXES TO PAY FOR NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS TO NEEDMORE ROAD. I THINK IT IS INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL TO THE RESIDENTS OF NEEDMORE AND ALL OF THOSE COMMUNITIES TO CONTINUE TO PUT MORE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THAT ROAD AFTER WE JUST RAISED TAXES TO WIDEN THAT ROAD BEFORE THAT PROJECT IS COMPLETE. THREE YEARS FROM NOW, NEEDMORE ROAD IS IMPROVED. IF THIS WERE TO COME BACK IN FRONT OF COUNCIL, I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE HERE, I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO VOTE FOR IT. BUT UNTIL THAT PROJECT IS COMPLETE, I CANNOT SUPPORT ANY ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON NEEDMORE. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON ALLEN, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: OKAY, SO THIS IS MY WARD.

I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING I TELL YOU RIGHT NOW IS BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED IN OUR MEETING THAT WE HAD.

I MET WITH THE CONSTITUENTS AND THE DEVELOPER.

WE MET COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND THE DEVELOPER WAS ABLE TO TELL EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED TO DO TO THE AREA.

THE CONSTITUENTS WERE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND SPEAK ON IT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WHAT REALLY CAME OUT OF THE MEETING WAS THE PLAN THAT MR. BELEW HAS AND THE ISSUES THAT THE CONSTITUENTS HAVE. WHAT I WANT TO DO RIGHT QUICK, GO THROUGH WHAT THEY SAID. ONE OF THE BIG THING WAS THE FACT THAT, HEY, WE JUST WENT THROUGH A REZONING OF THIS AREA.

WHY ARE WE DOING IT AGAIN? AND THAT QUESTION CAME UP AND MR. BELEW EXPLAINS THERE WAS SOMETHING.

A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS AREA WERE EXCITED THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A REGIONAL COMPLEX CENTER RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

THEY WERE WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT.

I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THEM FROM WHAT I KNEW HAPPENED BUT THAT WAS A BIG QUESTION. THEORY THING WAS THE FACT THAT THE TRAFFIC -- ANOTHER THING WAS THE FACT THE TRAFFIC.

THE TRAFFIC, A LOT OF THEM THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE THIS GREAT BIG CONCRETE JUNGLE, FIELD OF APARTMENTS.

THAT KIND OF -- WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THAT AND THEY TALKED ABOUT THE AMENITIES AND EVERYTHING.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE WASN'T A CONSENSUS BUILT ON WHETHER IT SHOULD BE REZONED, WHETHER IT SHOULD NOT.

I DID BRING UP IN THE MEETING, THIS IS MR. BELEW'S PROPERTY.

DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR PROPERTY? THEN I ALSO FELT WHAT MY CON STATISTICONSTITUENTS WERE SAYIN. I WOULD LIKE TO GET FEEDBACK.

THIS IS A DIFFICULT DECISION FOR ME BEING IN THE WARD.

THIS IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE.

I PERSONALLY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH APARTMENTS BEING ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE BECAUSE I KNOW WE NEED THE HOUSING, WITH THE MARKET THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW.

IT IS HARD TO PURCHASE A HOUSE RIGHT NOW WITH INTEREST RATES GOING UP. SOME PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY MILITARY FAMILY, THEY MIGHT HAVE TO COME HERE AND NOT BUY A HOUSE RIGHT AWAY. THEY MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE BIT. WE NEED APARTMENTS AND THINGS THAT ARE CLOSER THAT THEY CAN RENT.

THIS IS A DIFFICULT DECISION FOR ME.

I WOULD REALLY LIKE SOME INSIGHT FROM MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS,

THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON BUTLER,

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR. YOU KNOW I'M COMING FOR YOU.

WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT INCREASING DENSITY WITH INFRASTRUCTURE, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY TARGETED AT THE DOWNTOWN AREA. WHAT THAT STATEMENT THAT I MADE.

AND I DON'T THINK YOU WERE ADDING ME BUT I DO WANT TO CLARIFY BEFORE PEOPLE DO AT ME ABOUT IT.

I WANTED TO THROW OUT THERE THAT I DID ALSO GET CONTACTED ABOUT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND I THINK THAT THE ONLY THING I REALLY LEARNED FROM THAT, WE NEED TO BE REALLY CAREFUL ABOUT HOW WE DISCUSS THOSE THINGS AS IDEAS AS OPPOSED TO DONE DEALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT I DID GET REACHED OUT TO ABOUT THAT AS WELL. BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO.

WE PUT THAT MONEY ASIDE WHEN WE FIRST GOT INTO OFFICE.

HERE WE ARE 18 MONTHS LATER, WE HAVEN'T MOVED ON IT YET.

THEN YOU HAD ASKED ABOUT INP UT FROM OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I DON'T NECESSARILY FEEL LIKE IT IS FAIR FOR ME TO SAY, WHEN I DRIVE DOWN TRENTON AND NEEDMORE, I DON'T DO IT EVERY DAY.

I DO IT ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT IT IS IRTAIGH IRRITATING.

IT DOESN'T DISRUPT MY LIFE. WILMA RUDOLPH DISRUPTS MY LIFE, EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY FLIPPING DAY.

THAT'S WHY I PUT SO MUCH STOCK INTO THE FACT THAT YOU SAID THAT

[01:15:01]

MR. BELEW LIVES THERE. THE PEOPLE THAT THERE THAT SAY THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. WE GET INUNDATED WITH EMAILS.

I DON'T THINK SO THIS WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE GOT THE MOST EMAILS ABOUT. I THOUGHT IT WAS BASHAM.

WE GET INUNDATED WITH EMAILS. INUNDATED IS TEN.

WE HAVE HOW MANY PEOPLE IN EACH OF OUR WARDS? BETWEEN 15,000? I GET TEN EMAILS, I AM SUPPOSED TO MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON HOW THE PEOPLE FEEL.

ONLY TEN PEOPLE OUT OF 165,000. IT IS KIND OF DIFFICULT.

THAT'S MY TWO CENTS ON THAT. SAY, IF HE HAS LIVED HERE SINCE HE WAS SIX, IF YOU DON'T THINK IT WAS A PROBLEM, IF YOU HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT AND WHOLE MEETING ABOUT IT, YOU ARE NOT TELLING ME THAT PEOPLE WERE -- HAD THE PITCHFORKS OUT, WE ALREADY KNEW WHAT I WAS GOING TO VOTE ANYWAY, THANKS.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON LITTLE, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU. TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT TRANSPORTATION 2020 PLUS PLAN THE MAYOR PUT TOGETHER, THE -- RIGHT NOW, IT IS ON A GOOD TRACK AND NEXT TOWN HALL, EXPECTED FOR FALL 2022. RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS.

I THINK THE DEVELOPER SAID HE IS NOT GOING TO START THIS PROJECT FOR A COUPLE YEARS BECAUSE HE HAS OTHER THINGS CURRENTLY LINED UP THAT HE IS DOING. I FEEL AS THOUGH IT WOULD BE GOOD TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS.

DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE DO HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE AND IT IS ACTUALLY IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROGRESS, PROGRESS CURRENTLY BEING MADE ON NEEDMORE ROAD AND THINGS LIKE THAT, JUST TO LOOK INTO GETTING THIS WIDENED. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES, IT IS A PRETTY WIDENED ROAD, FIVE LANES.

I FEEL AS THOUGH THE TIMELINE AND GOING WITH WITH WHAT THE DEVELOPER SAID, VOTE IN FAVOR OF IT.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON MARQUIS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: IT IS A QUICK QUESTION.

ISN'T THERE A TRAFFIC LIGHT GOING RIGHT THERE ON THE

HAZELWOOD AS WELL? >> PHASE ONE.

>> THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO CONFIRM, THANK YOU.

>> COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

LOOKING AT THIS COMPLAINT FROM MR. HAMMER, HE LOOKED LIKE HE HAS DONE SOME RESEARCH. PISCA ELEMENTARY IS 116% OVER CAPACITY WITH 7 PORTABLE CLASSROOMS. HIGH DENSITY OF MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTS IS ONLY GOING TO MAKE THIS SITUATION WORSE. WHEN DO WE HAVE ENOUGH APARTMENTS AND COMPLEXES THIS WARD 8? THAT STUCK WITH ME. I HEAR HIS CRY.

AND I HEAR WHAT YOU ALL ARE SAYING.

SOMETIMES WE SAY THINGS WE REALLY DON'T EVEN MEAN.

I HAVE HEARD MANY OF US SAY, LET'S WAIT UNTIL WE GET THE INFRASTRUCTURE BUILT BEFORE WE CROWD THE STREETS ANYMORE.

HOWEVER, WE STILL GO AHEAD AND VOTE IN FAVOR OF OVERCROWDING THE SCHOOLS. OVERCROWDING THE STREETS.

OVERCROWDING THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH TRAFFIC.

WHY CAN'T WE WAIT? YOU KNOW, WE ARE PUTTING A HORSE BEFORE THE CAR. I HAVE HEARD COUNCIL MEMBERS SAY WE ARE BUILDING TOO MANY INFRASTRUCTURES, NEXT WEEK THEY CHANGE THEIR MIND, WELL, I THINK WE NEED TO PUT IT IN.

WE NEED TO STAY FIRM. WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. WE ARE FALLING FOR ANYTHING RIGHT NOW. WE KNOW THAT THE SCHOOL IS ALREADY OVER 116% OVER CAPACITY, YWHY WOULD WE OVERCROWD THE STREETS AGAIN. WE KEEP BUILDING.

OVER 900,000 PEOPLES ARE KICKED OUT OF APARTMENTS A YEAR.

BEES LET'S KEEP BUILDING. LET'S KEEP BUILDING.

WE ARE PLENTY OF APARTMENTS EMPTY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD THEM. LET ME TELL YOU THIS STORY.

I HAD A LADY THAT COME TO ME, SHE TOLD ME TO TELL THE MAYOR, AND MA MAYOR JOE PITTS DOESN'T W ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

SHE LOST HER LIVING STATUS IN CLARKSVILLE.

SHE HAD TO MOVE. SHE WAS A SECRETARY AT CHURCH IN CLARKSVILLE. SHE SAID BECAUSE THE RENT HAD WENT UP TO 1,500. SHE COULD NOT AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. SHE MOVED BACK TO HER HOMETOWN IN ALABAMA SOMEWHERE. SHE BEEN HERE OVER 30 SOMETHING YEARS. SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T AFFORD IT.

THE HOUSE SHE WAS RENTING, NICE HOUSE, RENT WENT UP.

SHE COULDN'T AFFORD TO RENT AN APARTMENT.

SO WHEN ARE WE GOING TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING AS A

[01:20:03]

WE NEED TO STICK TO WHAT WE SAY. GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE TAPES LAST WEEK, THE ROADS NEED TO BE FIXED BEFORE WE BUILD ANY MORE HOUSES. NOW HERE WE ARE GO, WE WANT TO OVERCROWD THE SCHOOLS AGAIN. I HOPE OUR KIDS DON'T GET RUN OVER OR THE PARENTS. THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY, MAYOR, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SHARE MY TWO CENTS.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON REDD, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> COUNCILPERSON: I AGREE WITH MY ESTEEM COLLEAGUE, IT WILL BE TWO TO THREE YEARS BEFORE THIS WILL EVEN BE BUILT.

BY THEN, THE WIDENING THE NEEDMORE ROAD WILL BE FINISHED AT THAT TIME. ONE OF THE SPEAKERS MENTIONED THAT SOMEONE HAD TO MOVE BECAUSE RENT WAS $1,500 A MONTH.

THAT TELLS ME WE NEED N MORE PLACES TO BE BUILT.

STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, SO DID THE COMMISSION.

I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN PROPERTY RIGHTS.

I THINK THAT WE SHOULD APPROVE THIS.

THANK USM. >> MAYOR: COUNCILPERSON ALLEN,

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THE REASON WHY RENT IN CLARKSVILLE IS GOING UP IS BECAUSE OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND. WE DON'T HAVE APARTMENTS FOR PEOPLE TO RENT, THEREFORE LANDLORDS AND THESE PLACES CAN CHARGE WHAT THEY WANT TO CHARGE. SO THAT'S WHY THE RENT IS GOING UP. NOT BECAUSE WE ARE BUILDING NOR PLACES. MOREPLACES.

WE DON'T HAVE PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE.

THE LANDLORD CAN CHARGE $1,800 FOR SOMETHING THAT USED TO BE $600. THANK YOU.

>> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I'M NOT AGAINST THIS. WE NEEDED THIS.

HOWEVER, I AM AGAINST CHANGING THE MEALS OF HOW FAR A WRECKER SERVICE, T TOW-IN LOT SITS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

THEY DECREASED IT FROM 500 TO 300.

THAT'S THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT.

BUT I'M FOR IT. I JUST WISH WE COULD MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THIS. MAYBE I WILL DO AN AMENDMENT -- I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO JUST ADD TO THIS THAT WE CHANGE THE -- GO BACK TO THE 500.

>> MAYOR: YOU CAN DO THAT ON SECOND READING.

WE NEED IT IN WRITING. >> COUNCILPERSON: I CAN DO IT IN

EXPLANATION AND MOTION. >> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU, MAYOR. I WROTE IT FAST.

>> MAYOR: LET'S COME TO THE SPONSOR OF THE AMENDMENT FOR AN EXPLANATION. WE HAVE DO CLARIFICATION.

COUNCILPERSON SMITH, YOU ARE THE SPONSOR OF THE AMENDMENT, YOU

ARE RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: THANK YOU MAYOR. I SAID WHAT I WANTED TO SAY,

KEEP IT AT 500. >> MAYOR: 500 FEET.

>> COUNCILPERSON: I SAID 500 MILES, YA'LL.

>> MAYOR: WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND IN FAVOR OF THE SMITH AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 20. COUNCILPERSON STREETMAN, YOU ARE

RECOGNIZED ON THE AMENDMENT. >> COUNCILPERSON: YES, SIR.

I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS MR. TYNDALL TALKED ABOUT LAST WEEK WAS THE REASON THEY DECREASED IT FROM 500 FEET TO 300 FEET WAS BECAUSE WHEN IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN WRITTEN, C-2 DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE MULTIFAMILY IN THERE.

DIFFERENT CHANGES WITH THAT. WHAT THEY DID WHEN THEY LAID IT ACROSS THE MAP, IF THEY LEFT IT AT 500 FEET, MAKING THE CHANGES, IT WOULD KEEP ANYTHING FROM BEING ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE THAT WOULD COVER EVERYTHING.

SO THAT WAS THE REASON THEY DECREASED IT DOWN TO 300 FEET.

I THINK IF ANYBODY WANTED TO LOOK AT CHANGING THIS, THEN WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL MR. TYNDALL WAS BACK HERE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THAT. SO I WOULD ASK AT LEAST ON THIS FIRST READING THAT WE PLEASE LEAVE THIS THE WAY THAT IT IS SO THAT IT CAN BE DISCUSSED IN MORE FURTHER DETAIL AS TO WHY IT WOULD POSSIBLY -- WHAT REASON WE WOULD HAVE IN CHANGING IT AND THE EFFECTS THAT WOULD HAVE. A.

>> MAYOR: OKAY, THANK YOU. COUNCILPERSON SMITH, DO YOU WISH

TO RESPOND OR BE RECOGNIZED. >> COUNCILPERSON: I JUST THINK WE NEED TO KEEP IT AT THE SET FOOTAGE.

IT IS 500 FEET, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN.

NO SEE A NEED TO DECREASE IT. I WOULDN'T LIKE TO SEE IT CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL. WE HAVE ENOUGH POLLUTION AROUND OUR HOMES, CAUSING SICKNESS. I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN.

WE SAID OLD TRUCKS THERE. THERE IS POLLUTION COMING FROM

[01:30:01]

SO I JUST THINK THAT WE KEEP IT AT THE SET RATE.

I THINK IT IS GOOD, IF IT DOESN'T NEED FIXED, DON'T CHANGE IT. THAT'S MY TWO CENTS, THANK YOU.

>> COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED ON THE AMENDMENT.

>> COUNCILPERSON: I HAVE A SPH WE ALR -- IFWE ALREADY HAVE A S.

ACCORDING TO WHAT THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER SAID, IF WE WANTED TO WAIT AND HAVE THE CONVERSATION WHEN MR. TYNDALL WAS HERE, WE ALREADY HAVE A SECOND. BY ROBERTS RULES, DON'T WE HAVE

TO VOTE ON THIS? >> MAYOR: WE WILL HAVE TO DISPOSE OF IT. AND THEN AT SECOND READING, MR. TYNDALL WILL BE HERE IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE CAN ASK HIM QUESTIONS ALL DAY LONG OR ALL NIGHT.

>> COUNCILPERSON: WE CAN'T -- I DON'T WANT TO NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THE SPEAKER BRING IT BACK UP.

THAT'S MY CONCERN. >> MAYOR: MR. BAKER.

DO YOU WANT TO CLARIFY THAT FOR US.

>> RED RULE DOESN'T APPLY TO AMENDMENTS, SHE CAN BRING IT ON

WE HAVE SOME MORE EVENTS COMING UP FOR EVERYBODY.

JUST A FEW OF THEM THAT LOOK EXCITING.

ON AUGUST 20TH, I THINK IT IS 1E CUMBERLAND.

IT IS SPECIALIZING, TALKING ABOUT THE OLD SCHOOL STEAM POWERED GUN BOATS LIKE THE IRONCLAD.

FEW OF THE ONES THAT CAME UP AND DOWN THE CUMBERLAND DURING OTHER CIVIL WAR. THAT IS REALLY, REALLY COOL.

I FOUND THOSE BOATS PRETTY FASCINATING.

RIVER FEST IS COMING UP. THAT IS ON SEPTEMBER 9 AND 10 MCGREGOR PARK, THE RIVER WALK. WE HAD A GOOD MEETING ON THE 12TH. WE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL THINGS.

ONE OF THE BIG THINGS WAS LACY PARK.

WE ARE GOING TO STILL UPGRADE THE PARK EQUIPMENT AND EVERYTHING. IT IS JUST RIGHT NOW SUPPLIES.

IT IS LOOKING ABOUT LIKE OCTOBER IS WHEN WE ARE GOING TO GET EVERYTHING. HOPEFULLY, FINGERS CROSSED.

THEN THAT WAY PROBABLY AROUND OCTOBER WE WILL GET EVERYTHING INSTALLED AND GET EVERYTHING GOING.

SO THAT'S PRETTY EXCITING. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A BID OUT FOR THE PAINTING AND STAINING OF FFREEDOM POINT AT LIBERTY PARK. THE LIBERTY PARK PAVILION.

WE ARE TRYING TO DO IMPROVEMENTS THERE.

WE ARE TRYING TO REPAINT THE SETTLING ROCKS, FREEDOM POINT AND LIBERTY PARK. ON THE CORNER THERE.

AND COME OUT, ACCEPTED ME AN SE. I WILL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT FUFERGHT EVENTS. FURTHER EVENTS, THAT CONCLUDES

MY RECORD. >> ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?

[11) PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE Chairperson Travis Holleman]

>> COUNCILPERSON: ALL RIGHT. ON TO PUBLIC SAFETY.

SO FIRST UP, WE HAVE CPD. SO NUMBER OF RESPONDED CALLS.

THIS ISN'T CRIME, JUST RESPONDED CALLS, INCLUDES EVERYTHING INTEREST WELLNESS CHECKUPS, AMBULANCE RIDES.

IT IS EVERYTHING ALL IN ONE BASKET.

WE ARE AT 12,413 FOR THE MONTH OF JULY.

LAST MONTH WE SAW A PRETTY BIG SPIKE.

ABOUT 14,000. BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE, IF YOU REMEMBER, I KIND OF TALKED ABOUT HOW THE AMBULANCE CALLS JUMPED UP. SO IN JUNE WE HAD 1,308 AMBULANCE CALLS. THIS MONTH, IT WENT BACK DOWN TO NORMAL LEVELS OF 241. SO WE HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING HAS LEVEL OUT WITH THAT REPORTING. ALSO GOT -- ADD LITIONLY, WE GAVE CONDITIONAL OFFERINGS TO FOUR NEW POLICE CADETS THIS WEEK. ONE NEW DISPATCHER.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

PLEASE THANK ALL THAT PARTICIPATED.

MESSAGE BOARDS WILL BE PLACED THROUGHOUT TOWN THAT SCHOOL ZONES WILL BECOME ACTIVE AGAIN. WATCH THOSE FLASHING LIGHTS.

[01:45:04]

SO FOR THE MONTH OF JULY, CONSTRUCTION DIVISION, 2693 TOTAL INSPECTIONS. CODE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION, 265 NEW CASES. ABATEMENT DIVISION, 44 WORK ORDERS. AND OVER IN THE ADMIN DIVISION, WE HAD 89 SINGLE FAMILY PERMITS ISSUED.

MULTIFAMILY, 92. COMMERCIAL PERMITS, 26., AND JUST KIND OF FOR A FRAME OF REFERENCE, FOR MULTIFAMILY, 2021, JULY, MULTIFAMILY PERMITS ISSUED WAS 22 PERMITS.

WHERE LAST MONTH, JULY 2022, WAS 92 PERMITS FOR MULTIFAMILY.

THAT PUTS US IN PERSPECTIVE AS FAR AS THE GROWTH GOES.

WE WILL MOVE ON OVER TO CLARKSVILLE FIRE AND RESCUE.

SO TOTAL CALLS WERE 1,617. 70% OF THOSE CALLS WERE RESCUE AND MEDICAL CALLS. WE HAD 12 STRUCTURE FIRES IN JULY WITH ESTIMATED $1,741,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE.

AND ABOUT 4.1 MILLION IN PRE-INCIDENT VALUE.

AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO CONCLUDE MY REPORT.
