This is a voice vote, so let's call for the vote at this time. Those in favor of the approval of the minutes as presented, please say I. Anyone oppose, say no. In the opinion of the chair, the minutes have been approved. The next item on the agenda, bear with me just a second and let me flip back to that is the time for the public comments. And I have two people who've signed up to address this body and that is Debbie Pit. Debbie Ruff. Okay. Debbie Ruff and Mr. Brett Luther. Miss Miss Ruff will go first and uh please come up and address us. Yes. Good evening. My name is Debbie Ruff and I'm here concerning a letter that was sent out a notice of zone change application. The notice said the owner of the real property is applying to reszone the real property from an A1 agricultural to M1 heavy industrial. The property they're questioning is property that the county bought 2017 and at the time it was purchased, it was agricultural land. Now they're wanting to reszone it. I'm here on behalf of individuals here that we want to express our deep concern about the proposed reszoning of this agricultural land to industrial. The decision carries inver irreversible consequences that will permanently alter the character, safety, and heritage of

3:06 – 4:08Speaker 1

that community. Dixon County has very little farmland left. And once it's gone, it's gone forever. This land is not just soil. It's history. It's where cattle gays, where families chose to build homes for peace and quiet and generations are laid to rest at a family cemetery that is adjacent to this property that the county is wanting to reszone. Industrial devel excuse me devel development will bring very heavy truck traffic, widen the roads, traffic lights, and it will disrupt the rural landscape. It will affect livestock, the noise, pollution. I urge you to reconsider and to consider not to do this, not just for acreage, but for the identity. Once this farmland is paved over, we can't get it back. Please look at the full picture before you make a decision to change this. Thank you.

4:06 – 6:05Speaker 1

Thank you, ma'am. Uh Mr. Brett Luther has signed up to address us, sir, if you would. I'm Brett Luther. Um, I'm part of the Luther farm here. We're off, my house is on 129 Luther Hogan Road. Uh, I wanted to stand up here. I'm not used to this. I'm out of my comfort zone here. Um, I want to give you a face with a family that has chosen three years ago to build our forever home on this acreage. We surround almost completely I would say 70% of the land uh that they're trying to reszone. No one there's no one in this room that would want to have a piece of land touching your land that's going to be zoned industrial. You don't know what that's going to look like. It's scary. You don't know what that would smell like. I have three young kids. We hunt. We fish. We play sports. I'm dedicating my life to my wife and my kids and to have that American dream of what everyone wishes for. This is very uh concerning of something going in industrial-wise. Uh to me it looks like a desperate way out with the lay of the land. It's not flat. They have no railroad railroads close but they don't have it's not touching the property. Um there's sink holes. There's, you know, we have I know where I will be buried. Just as Miss Debbie was saying, we're this is the cemetery that's touching this farm. We tried to buy this farm years ago. Things fall through the cracks and things slip behind us, behind our backs at times. Um, it's very concerning where we're at and I just pray that this won't go further. Uh, the land means a lot to us. Robert Luther is my father.

6:02 – 7:07Speaker 1

He has farmed this land harder than anyone in this building has, you know, farmed themselves. So, this is something we've worked very hard. I know myself, I will continue to farm our our cattle farm and um and try to make it that way, but I just it's very concerning to hear the industrial zoning and uh I really wish this doesn't go any further. That's my reason for being here. Thank you. We appreciate your remarks, Sister Luther. At this time, we're going to go on down the agenda. And the first item on the agenda is the preliminary plat of lots 2 through five of the Waller Estate subdivision, which is tax map 57, parcel 51.00 consisting of 10 acres at 11:01 Promised Land Road, Charlotte, Tennessee, A1 Agriculture in the fourth district. So, let's uh what what do you have on this, Mr. Hayes? That we need

7:04 – 7:30Speaker 1

surveyed by Christie surveying to create four new lots. Uh Mr. Christie is here at the surveyor if you have any questions or concerns about it. Well, I want to throw it open to the commission. Do any of you all have any questions or any concern? Mr. Chairman, I do. Yes, Mr. Lindsay. Please go ahead.

7:29 – 8:01Speaker 1

Um, I have a question for either council or Mr. Christaining to lot five as far as the setbacks on the petroleum pipeline. If we approve this, are we bound for any responsibility in approving this? if something were to happen down the road as far as an explosion or whatever it might be.

8:01 – 9:35Speaker 1

Well, Mr. Taylor, uh, Sins, excuse me. Uh, I see a lot of petroleum pipelines that are closer to people. They put them in closer to houses. I don't know that the county would they they've got an easement that's 25 foot on either side of the center line of it. And we have other instances. I can think of one on Hooper Road where the pipeline runs through there and it's right next to the driveway and within, you know, the the house is not within the the easement or the driveway, either one for that matter, because they're very particular. They fly over helicopters. I know one of the developers building they had to they got the uh driveway too close to the rightway. So, I mean, it's a petroleum pipeline, uh, which of course I'm not an expert on that, but I know it's liquid. You know, it's crude oil. It's not gas. It's in it's not in a gaseous state. So, it's not in my mind is dangerous. And that's why the regulations are set forth in the planning and zoning regulations which follows what Tennessee code annotated did in n in 2021 about the notifications about gas pipelines versus petroleum. So I don't know if I've answered your question or not.

9:34 – 9:54Speaker 1

Well, I mean I'm good with I'm I'm good with if you're good with it. I just I just don't want any repercussions to come back on this this body if we approve it. Yeah. Yeah. And I can understand if it was a gas line, I wouldn't want to live there, but I don't know. But it is a high pressure line. Is that correct?

9:58 – 10:28Speaker 1

I guess I don't know. I can't answer that about I don't know that much about petroleum lines. Well, let alone explosion leakage into the soil itself. something to be concerned about. Again, just just to back up Lindsay here, we just want to be sure the county on the bottom that's a repercussion.

10:25 – 11:06Speaker 1

My understanding is that the petroleum company is under the obligations of the state of Tennessee to operate this pipeline in accordance with Tennessee code annotated. And if they're operating it properly, those things aren't going to happen. But we all know things do happen when they're not operated properly. But this county is not liable for that anymore than the county is liable for people drunk driving down a county road. And it's on a county property, but we didn't tell them to do that. And this this is kind of that way, too. There's a there is an actual gas pipeline right down the road from me, which you probably know about Morgan. Yeah.

11:04 – 11:48Speaker 1

That is really close to some residences, but it's not again it's more than 25 ft. It's not that those residences are not within that gas pipeline right away. And that one has been there. I think that's one of the pipelines they built during the Second World War. So, it's a lot older than I am. And don't think I don't think about it a lot. But, you know what what can you do? But I think that's I think is a valid point and I think it's a valid environmental concern. But I I think our legislators have done well in recent years to address this with given a legal framework that it doesn't reflect back on the state or the counties when things happen. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Christie.

11:47Speaker 1

You're welcome.

11:48 – 12:40Speaker 1

I I would think Mr. Qualls that the operator of that gas line would be liable. Is that would that be correct, Mr. Barry? That's that's my understanding because uh Mr. Christy mentioned Kinder Morgan. I know they've they've been found liable in some instances. Not here in this county, I don't think. I remember when that big gas pipeline blew out there by White Bluff about 25 years ago and caused considerable damage. But they you have to really look hard now to see where it happened. But I don't think the county had any liability in that instance at all. And I don't I don't think we will. And I would have a lot of trepidation about this if I thought we were about to have a contingent liability. Is there any further discussion on item one?

12:38 – 13:14Speaker 1

Mr. Chairman, if I may. Yes, sir. Counselor, go ahead. County does not maintain the utility line at issue. So, if it's not been issued for us, it's shown on this plat. If this plat is approved, it would be reported and anyone who bought that lot would know that that line's there. And that's on them. Okay. So, just want to clear that up. This has nothing to do with the county. I need Thank you, council. I have one thing, Mr. Yes, ma'am. Go ahead, Mr. Mr. Christie. Do you know when uh Timmy Waller bought this property?

13:12 – 13:57Speaker 1

It's in the process. It's getting close. It closing on it. And uh Mr. Cook kept lot one and I did a one lot subdivision on it. It's since been recorded. By the time I when I turned the plaid in, it hadn't been recorded then, but it's in cabinet n cabinet end slide or page 137. They are getting close. I thought they would have it closed by the the today's date, but I mean they're in the process of getting the conveyance. Yeah, I noticed he wasn't the owner in the tax records. Yeah, that and that's right, Mrs. Barry. Yeah, that's but he will by the time we get the final his name. I mean we'll have I'll have a volume of pages on there.

13:53 – 14:30Speaker 1

Mr. Mills, are we per is that okay with as far as a legal side that he doesn't own it. Whoever the owner is at the time I think the speech whoever the owner is done. Mr. Chairman, if I may. Go ahead. Council, I'd like to ask Miss Harrington, is there anything that's deficient on this plat that needs to be addressed to take up the Thank you. Mr. Christie just answered the one corrective comment that I had, so I'm fine. Thank you.

14:27 – 14:44Speaker 1

That having been established, what is the will of the commission? The chair would entertain a motion to approve item one on the agenda, if one were to be made. Yes, sir. Mr. Lindsay,

14:43 – 15:20Speaker 1

I'd like to move for the motion to approve the Waller states. Commissioner Todd Lindseay has approved the preliminary is moved to approve the preliminary plat of lots 235 of Waller Estates tax map 57 parcel 51.00 10 acres 1101 Promised Land Road in Charlotte. Is there a second? Second by C Commissioner Green. We're ready for the question. Those in favor of the this uh approval of this plat state I

15:16 – 15:49Speaker 1

those opposing say no. In the opinion of the chair, the eyes have it. The motion is agreed to. And the next item on the agendum is item number two, a resoning request for the county of Dixon. This is on tax map 136, parcel 46.06 06 consisting of 54.92 acres located on Luther Hogan Road, Dixon, Tennessee, currently zoned A1 Agriculture, 7th District. Uh,

15:47 – 17:46Speaker 1

this parcel of land is currently owned by Dixon County. They are seeking to reszone the property from A1 Agriculture to M1 Heavy Industrial. We're we're ready for you to talk for the county. Those that don't know me, I'm Terry Malone. I'm the uh economic developer for the county and um here to present this resoning request. Um this property was purchased back in August 2017 at the will of the county commission at the time who directed Mayor Ra to locate our next industrial area. So, cuz quite honest, we've got one property left in the industrial site and then we are out of land to recruit new businesses and new jobs. So, this property when it was purchased was purchased because of proximity to rail access, four-lane highway, and the interstate. So, you know, it's within a half mile of uh 40 and um same distance to, you know, highway 46. Currently, the both the state of Tennessee has uh issued grants on that site and the county has put in additional funds to do some due diligent docu uh studies and reports. Um the reasonzoning from uh agricultural to industrial puts us in a position to market that site. Currently I don't have a company that's asking us to reszone it for their sake. So I can't tell you there's a property or an industry what type of industry is going there. But I can tell you that we've had several site visits at that property over the years. I'm going on three years and I'm sure it was shown

17:42 – 18:21Speaker 1

before. Uh so it's been of interest of people. Uh but one of the contingencies is the fact that of the zoning and how the time period it takes to get reszoned in relation to their timeline doesn't fit. So then they go and take their their business to another location. So this request is simply to put it in a position where we can market it to find the best fit for that site uh to bring in new business to the and jobs to this community. Any anything further, Terry? That that's all I have for you guys.

18:18 – 20:04Speaker 1

Okay. Well, I'll just say a couple of things very briefly and then I want to hear what everyone on the body that wi wishes to speak has to say. First of all, I think it's pretty apparent that the county commissioners didn't buy that land to engage in agriculture. It was just that it happened to be zoned agriculture as all pretty much the county was by default when zoning came in. So that doesn't mean that the county under false pretenses took a farm and then started trying to make it industrial property. And as as we've pointed out, this happened several years ago. Dixon County is at a crossroads and the crossroads is not will we keep growing or will we cease growing because of our location close to Nashville and Nashville being one of the economic dynamos in the United States in 2025. We're going to continue to grow and we're going to continue to grow and there's going to be two main courses we can take. We can either be just a bedroom community just where people commute to make a living somewhere else or we can continue to have that plus our own local industry contributing to the Dixon County economy, paying taxes in Dixon County and employing people who will pay Dixon County taxes and hence those taxes are less likely to skyrocket and more likely to grow slowly and steadily. And that's the reason the county even engages in this industrial development business is because it does the most good for the maximum number of residents of Dixon County in the long run. That is my entire comment. I want to hear from you all about this before we call for the motion.

20:03 – 20:47Speaker 1

Real quick, Mr. Chairman, just as a reminder, I know we have a few members. So, this is a resoloning. Some of you have seen several of these. Some of you have only seen a couple. You're making a recommendation. So your vote would be a motion to recommend favorably or recommend unfavorably. It's going to go up to the county commission public hearing and all of that. In 2017, the county commission unanimously voted to purchase this property. It'll be up to them whether they want to resone this property, but they'll be looking to this body on what's your recommendation. So that's what we need tonight is a motion to recommend favorably or unfavorably. This is a discretionary act. You're not required to do anything other than take a vote.

20:46 – 21:23Speaker 1

Councelor, I appreciate your clarification of just what it is we're proposing to do here in a few moments. I do have a question. Yes, sir. Go right ahead, Mr. Barry. We appreciate your question. It's it's directed to you. Thank you. Um, we only have You said we only have one parcel of land in the existing industrial park. Is that correct? Yes, sir. So, that includes the Warren Medley Drive. There's nothing else available out there. Not not that's been a available to us. There's been over the years there has been um attempts to purchase additional land in that area. However, there's none available.

21:21 – 21:44Speaker 1

Okay. But there obviously there is some open land out there, just not available at this time currently. Okay. What about out uh towards the gas storage? Is there any uh is there any available land out in that area? There is some land out there. Um the it's near Interstate 40, but it's not um near rail, right?

21:43 – 22:26Speaker 1

And that's that's a big thing, believe it or not. Um but there is some land out there, too. But we have not uh had conversations with anyone to purchase to be honest with you. That area, everybody's uh kind of warded off anyway. So, I don't know how well I could market that uh for additional industries. Um, but we have to have money to purchase it as well. So, are we talking about the businesses that are already there kind of landlock the rest that area that's on back? Well, if I understand Mr. Barry, he's talking about where the fuel terminal is. Yes, I couldn't I couldn't spit out the correct terms, but yes, the fuel terminal. Thank you very much.

22:24 – 23:05Speaker 1

And and currently there are there is land out there, but it's not actively being marketed for sale. Okay. um the county can always approach to request, but again that takes money to to purchase the land. This request is land we already own. Um so but we are always actively looking for opportunities. They just sometimes aren't happening at the time. Right. I understand u I understand Mr. Qu's what you said. I understand what you're saying. Um I see where the county is at on this. I also I'm always concerned about our residents as you should be

23:02 – 24:06Speaker 1

always um and and being from a farming background, an agricultural background, third generation on the same property, I I can understand what these people are saying. I will say to the crowd, do not let your land slip away from you. Okay? That is a lesson that's hard learned. Okay? And once that land slips away from your family, it will never come back to you. If it does, it's very difficult. So, I do want to stress that to you. Uh, especially the younger generations, don't look at the dollars, look at the value to your family. So, I want you to understand that, okay? Had you been able to purchase this land, I'm not fussing at anybody, had you been able to purchase this land, you could have stopped something like this from happening. Okay? Uh, but I I'm sympathetic uh with you. I do not like to see the encroachment of this type of growth on our farmland. Uh, but I do understand the county did buy this in two 2017. That's a long time to hold a parcel of land. So, uh, that's that's my two cents.

24:04 – 25:08Speaker 1

Well, Miss Barry, I'll add that I'm from that same background in the third generation of my family on my land. And of course, it's not for industrial reasons, but the land across the road from me that I wasn't able to buy just turned and they were out there with dozers today cleared it off. And that happens. And yes, I I have total empathy for all this. But here here's the thing. All of the land that Dixon County Industrial Development Board has ever bought, none of it was taken by eminent domain. It was always a willing buyer being the county and a willing seller. So it's not like county authority was abused in any way for the county to have come into the possession of this land. Somebody had to be willing to sell it for the county to now be in ownership of it. And like I said, they they didn't buy it just because it's good farmland. It'd make a good farm for somebody one day. I'm concerned with everything you just said. But having said that, I want to hear, is there anyone else of you commissioners that has a personal position they'd like to make plain this?

25:07Speaker 1

Yes. All right, sir. Go right ahead. Jack,

25:10 – 27:09Speaker 1

no one of you guys contacted me and I'm your district person. I'm surprised. Give me just a second. Just give me a second. But that's okay. All right. Um I'm very happy to see the turnout tonight. I feel your angst. Trust me, I do. What? Um I have And to your point, By Dirt, great country song. Very true. because like our my uh committee member said, once you don't own it anymore or you give it away or you sell it or whatever, it's gone. Um I think to Mr. Crawl's point, um do we want to be and remain a bedroom community or do we want to have growth? If we want to have growth, what kind of growth do we want? if we want to remain a bedroom community, which in my mind personally, not perfectly happy with that. I moved from Fair View 20 years ago because it was getting way too crowded where I was and I'm very happy to be where I am now. So, like I said, I I feel your concerns very deep about this particular property. Um, so bedroom community has room in it for development. I'm all for development. I'm all for planned development and wellthoughtout development. Responsible development must be guided by stewardship. Somebody wrote that cuz that's in your little thing here. And we kind of are stewards in a way, I think, of what is going to happen in the future here in Dixon. I I'm going to keep these

27:07 – 28:56Speaker 1

comments real short. You can probably feel where I'm going with this. I was very surprised that anybody would ever come in, let alone the county, and want to suggest reszoning this property that is surrounded by agricultural property. You look at the satellite, you drive through there, it's it's farms, it's houses, it's a cemetery. Why on earth somebody didn't think of planning years ago where to put a good industrial park where it would be accepted not only by the people who live in the area but also by uh the planners and and and uh the people who will make it a success which would be the new owners, the builders, the developers etc. This in my mind is a very bad idea. It is surrounded by agricultural property like I mentioned. It is a bedroom community. I want to see change. I want to see development. I want to see growth. But I want to see the growth and development especially if it's commercial or heavy industrial in the correct area. I think obviously you got four giant tanks that not a lot of people maybe five, I'm sorry. um gas tanks, petroleum fuel tanks that a lot of people were very unhappy to see go in there, but I bet you they'd be very happy to see development go in there because that's already gone heavy industrial. So, why not put something down in that area or do some real planning and really bring the community in and say, "This is what we're thinking about." I'm done. I think I'm dead set against it. I do not feel it's a good idea.

28:59 – 29:42Speaker 1

Mr. Chair, the Mr. Chase, the chair thanks you for your remarks. Are there commissioners, does anyone else have any comments before we bring this to a vote? I have a question for you. Go ahead, Mr. Reagan. The property lines as it's set up for this property, it looks like it is separated between Old Highway 46 South and the railroad. Is there still availability for this property to access the railroad without having to cross 46 South? Potentially, but as it is now, no. There's not a sprinkler going into it. Mr. Reagan, not the public to speak. It's for the county ask questions. Yes.

29:40 – 30:13Speaker 1

How much acreage is on the other side of Highway 46 South? Do we know? Uh, of the county owned. Mhm. It's three acres, four acres, something like that. I don't think it's not a large parcel. Some engineering you could build something, but it would be, you know, if someone purchased it, that would be their cost to and working with the South Central Rail Authority to make that happen. That wouldn't be a county um project. Okay.

30:11 – 30:46Speaker 1

Thank you. I guess before we bring this vote, counselor, I want to get something clarified for the record in in my own mind. As the county makes deals with these individual industries to develop the parcels that they purchase from the county, will will site plans on those facilities come before this body also, or is that just sort of a in-house production once once this is approved tonight? If it is, this body has to see if he's

30:44 – 31:48Speaker 1

That was my understanding and I wanted to make sure that was correct before I said that. It's not like we're just saying the county now has cart blanch anything they want to there and nobody can say anything about it. This body will be seeing and reviewing. You folks will have a chance to come and comment and you know if they want to put a big rendering plant there, I'll probably set the chair aside and say how much I despise that idea. But it'll the time will come when it comes. But nobody's saying we're going to have a big rock quarry there tomorrow. That that's not what's happening. But if the county doesn't have the authority to go on and shop this to potential buyers, then there's in my mind there's not much point in the county continuing to hold it. And again, nobody's doing anything tonight but giving a recommendation forward to the Dixon County Commission to change the zoning of this. And that's all we're going to vote on. Now, does anyone have a motion in that regard?

31:51Speaker 1

I just would like to make one more comment.

31:53 – 32:43Speaker 1

Yes, sir. If I could, please. Um, I think we all agree that Dixon County has an enormous opportunity for all of us, no matter what we want to do and what kind of life we want to live. I think for the county itself, I think this is a a a great opportunity for you to take a look at this and think ahead. Um, in in my perspective, um, I don't think it's the right spot at the right time. I think that this this county has offers people an an enormous opportunity to live a certain way of life, whether it's uh next to an industrial park or if it's having a farm. Uh I think there's plenty of space for all of it. And I don't think this is going to be the last opportunity for the county to to grow industrially at all. I think there's great enormous opportunity. Um I just don't think this is the right place and right time for this parcel and I just wanted to put that out there.

32:42 – 32:58Speaker 1

Thank you for your comment, Mr. Chairman. I would ask Mr. Chairman, I'd like to add as well just my comments and thoughts on this. Um,

32:55 – 33:43Speaker 1

I do think ind industrial property is good for Dixon County. I think we see the benefits of what other companies in Dixon County have had to offer and all that they put into where we live currently and what we have um provided. Um, I understand that there are certain times where the only way to add more industry is sometimes to push property out and to find new places that are best suited for that property. Um, so I haven't decided one way or the other which way I'm going to vote yet. It's a very hard decision. Just in my mind, just thinking through this, we have a railroad that's connected. It's next to a four-lane highway and interstate all within close proximity. but I also understand the value of farmland and what it means to hold with the family. Um, so I'm just putting my comments out there.

33:41 – 34:02Speaker 1

Thank you, Mr. Ragan. Yes, Miss Barry, would you like to Yes, I would like to say something. Um, I have worked in industrial park for 20 years and I know what happens with pollution and noise. I would not want this next to my house. So, that's Thank you for your comment. Uh, Commissioner Pod here.

34:02 – 35:47Speaker 1

Yes, sir. Mr. Because uh I do want to point out if we pass this as M1 heavy industrial that makes us liable to uphold this for any business that comes in and meets the criteria of M1. So if they by law can meet our statutes, then we are required by law to pass any business. So I I want I want to be clear to all my constituents that where that puts us once we pass this. Okay? So so keep that in mind. You you you'll see a site plan, but you can't stop anything at that point. And the fuel depot is a is a classic case of that. That was passed many many years ago. And when it come to us, there was nothing that we could do other than pass it by law. We were required by law to pass that. So keep that in mind. Thank you, Commissioner Barry. Do any other of the commissioners have a comment? The chair will entertain a motion for the CH for to recommend to the county commission the reasonzoning of tax map 057, parcel 51.00.
