Second by Alderman Burger. Any discussion? Ready to vote, Alderman Barnhill? Yes. All in Blanton. Yes. All in. Caesar is absent. All in Peterson. Yes. Alderman. Burger. Yes. Alderman. Brown. Yes. Alderman. Passes absent. Vice mayor. Baggett. No. So it passes. What have we got? Let's see. 5 to. 1. 5 to 1. To double. No, I don't want to. Next is opportunity for citizens to make comments for items. Not on the agenda. I have two speaker cards. I'll call them up. They have two minutes each. Duane Park and Angela Park. You have two minutes each. Hi, there. I'm Angela park. I live in Cross Creek. And behind us is the Coletta Park. Build. And our property, our backyard is right up against meaning to the east. And Coletta Park would be behind us. The main representative that I've spoken to, his name is Clay Lane. I don't know if any of you are familiar with him, but he's mainly been the person that I've spoken to. We were told as homeowners that there is to be a. Black. Silt fencing. It's actually landscape fabric that they put down, and that would indicate our property line. And then there would be 80ft of tree preservation, and those would be the original trees that were still on the property. And then there would be an orange silt fencing that would represent the actual property line of the new homeowner. For at a park where the fence would be built. My husband and I noticed they were throwing wood planks and our what I call our backyard. And then this morning we woke up. And right now I have photos. They've built an entire fence already. Only on our property, not the others.

They all have posts, but ours is completely, was completely done today. And, it's on the black fabric which represented our property line. And so Mr. Lane went on and on about how you're going to have the privacy. You'll see the trees that you're used to seeing. We're not going to let them take down those trees. You have 80ft. And so we thought, well, this is terrible that we've lost old Adams Farm, but we love the fact that we're going to have at least 80ft between what we call our property line and way up at the orange fencing. Today I took a few pictures just right before I came. Here are some of the fencing that they just built. They took down one of my trees and they were only supposed to take down one tree. I have all photographs of those, but here's what they decided to do today. On this fence that's on my side of the property. So I've taken close ups. They've done this with a number of the trees that were on the property. There's another tree and they've decided to leave many inches between the ground and the fence. Just to, I guess, maybe meet their line. It didn't really look like there was. I don't know if you can see that one. Here's another thing that they did with areas of fencing. Sorry. They just decided to build the fence around whatever tree was there. And this is what I get to see. They also did things like this. They decided to just free up some broken pieces of wood and just make that be part of the fence. And here's another long shot from my backyard with that new fence. One tree that was on my property that they decided that I showed you the Close-Up of earlier. So my concern is that, I'm kind of.

I wouldn't say I'm representing all of the, homeowners across creek, but I know that many of them that line up against this East property. Every one of them believed that that black silt fencing was our property line. And we believed that that 80, 80ft of preservation was for us to have the privacy that we're used to having old Adams Farm there for hundreds of years and, and that that orange silt fencing was to be the fence of the new owner that he also went to tell me, meaning Clay Lane. Finish off, please. Slam. Okay. Play tell me that, that that owner. So I'll take his minute and a half. So our biggest concern is every single person always take everything as is. So we really. We ran through this listening to you. If you'll leave those pictures with Casey for the record, for your comments. Okay. Staff has been listening to your comments, and we'll, Okay. Thank you so much. Appreciate all your help. All. Okay. Next we're going to go to any communications from the Williamson County Commission. I have none, we'll go to, approval of the minutes from the work session for February 24th, 2026 and the board of Mayor and alderman meeting of the same day. Is there a motion? So it's our second. Second. Thank you all for Barnhill. Any discussion? Ready to vote? Alderman. Barnhill. Yes. Ulmer. Blanton. Yes. All in. Peterson. Yes. Holland. Burger. Yes. All in Brown. Yes. All infants. I'm just absent. Vice mayor Baggett, that's, passes unanimously. Miscellaneous reports. I'm going to start the miscellaneous reports because I have good news for ward alderman.

You have been officially elected. And here's your certificate. You were actually. You were still in operation. I did. That's alright. That's good a time. This certifies that Alderman Pass is not here. So let's. These are five certificates, all with Brown American graduation. This is going to be all burger. This. So the good news. Whenever they get those certificates out that it's a little more than official. Okay. Any other miscellaneous reports? Mr. mayor, I want to give you all a if you're ready for me. Yes, sir. Okay. I want to make sure. As a. Is recognized. Want to, continue, our update in terms of brush collection, what we've been doing give you a little more information. Our team has been working diligently. Our normal residential collection is Monday through Thursday, ten hours each day. We've added to that Friday and Saturday. In terms of additional brush collection. So we've increased by 50% the amount of work that's going into that collection. Just to give you a sense of the volume we have dealt with in the five plus weeks since, Winter storm Fern came through. Our collection amount is roughly 60% of what we collect in a full year, in just over five weeks. So that gives you a sense of the capacity and the work that's been going on. We're making headway. Some of our largest neighborhoods have been caught up. And that would include West Haven, McCay's mill field stone. Several others got completed, especially, today and on Monday. And those collection efforts will continue. We're posting on social media every day or two.

Now, specifically the neighborhoods that we're able to address. We're trying to stay generally with the residential collection days in those routes, but we're also putting everything in a neighborhood and in a route and trying to knock it out. You know, at that time, as best we can. So, and we've largely caught up on the Tuesday route, so that gives us a little more capacity is how we use Tuesday's going forward. So I can't give you an exact date that will be done. We've made a lot of progress. I don't know if Nate is comfortable doing that yet, because we get in a neighborhood in the volume can just be significantly more than anticipated. So it takes us longer than we may have originally thought, but, we are working very hard. We appreciate the patience of our residents as we work through it. You're going to see regular, continual updates about where we're working and the progress being made. So, Nate, anything you want to add? Yes. Just to, good evening, everyone. Just to give you some numbers. The count as of right now, we're looking at, over 500. Well, we're looking at 578 loads. Megaboom loads. And, we're looking at over 1800 tons of brush in in five weeks. In a year, we collect 2800 tons. So outbound, we're looking at 1400 tons out. And then we're also looking at a current stockpile of 400 times that need to be ground up or processed through our, air curtain burner. A usual average is 53 tons a week. We're averaging now updated numbers is 313 times a week that we're bringing in of brush. And then that's a daily average of do looking at a little over three tons per load that we're bringing in. We would like to thank the citizens for their patience as we navigate this. A lot of times they say, how do you eat an elephant? This is how you eat elephant. Just one bite at a time. And we keep plugging and we keep going. And the men and women of, Essex, we got a good group of guys there.

We're throwing everything we can at it. Are you looking at six days a week that they're going at it? I was talking to my assistant director, Wayne Sullivan, today, and I was like, I'm going to have to come in and give up a Saturday. I said, man, you're going to have to get in the truck and we're going to run. So we can help these guys out. So if they are truck short, you may see us out there in the truck operating the truck. Also, just to let these guys know that they are not alone. But we're going to get to the end of it. I would say if we can get to mid April or end of April, we're going to be looking good because there's a lot of places that we went through for the first initial pass that we've gotten completed, but there's still some areas we haven't touched yet and we're still trying to get into those areas. We changed the way we did it for the past two weeks. We're throwing knucklebones at one neighborhood at a time, and we're moving quicker, and we're seeing a significant, impact on what we're trying to do in completing this project. Thank you. Alderman Brown, you wanted to make a comment. First of all, you're in a team doing awesome logistical question. I noticed, after you guys come through, obviously there's piles left, like leaves and small stuff. Whatever. What's the guidance we're supposed to give? Are are should they bag that? Are you bringing the street sweeper through? Are you gonna come back with the leaf back? Like what? What's the follow up? After you've clear. But it's only if they can break it up. If they can bag it and put it in the brown bags. Because we can get it then. And if not, they can pick it back up and will be back through to pick it up. With the knucklebones. But if it's small enough to go into the brown bags, go ahead and do it that way and we can collect it that way also. And once we do collect, we will send street sweepers through. We try to align those, but, that won't get everything either. So I think whatever folks can do will appreciate. Vice mayor, you're recognized and I'll get I'll Tottenham. Burbank. I think the main you know what I appreciate you first of all. And and the, the team because this is, you know,

a huge I told many residents this week, which I feel like this week is when they've just started to, reach out. And I think we've got a really gracious community in Franklin who, is supportive of staff and support, understands. But this was a national emergency as declared by the president. State emergency. This checked all the emergency disaster boxes. Yes, sir. So while you know life is much back to back to normal now, we need to still acknowledge as a community that this was a major event. And so this is something that if you can, can continue to communicate. Setting expectations is key. I don't think and communications is beginning to do that. The lack of knowledge in the community or just not hearing is just as detrimental as, it taking until the end of May. Yes, sir. I mean, you know, if it's going to be the end of, I think, setting an expectation. Well, and and this is what I want us to say is like it was, you know, setting expectations is in meeting them even if they're longer expectations is is I think going to go over well the community. Yes sir. Quickness is not it's important but I think it's just the level setting the, the expectations. So we don't, end up, you know, in a, in a, in a different situation. But thank you. Great job. And, thank you for communicating communications team, regularly like you'll be doing. All in burger. Thanks, Nate. It is a huge job. I thought your six weeks was way too aggressive, but, so, they always have called me, and and the people that have gotten over me, and I told them it'll be gone by May. Yes. I just extended it out because I. But it it's kind of funny. We we've been in communication with, with my kids meals and everything today.

I actually sent out email because they had some questions about, some brush in there. We did focus on the residents and what they're seeing now. In my case, meals is is two common areas. So we were trying to make sure we got the residents out of the way first and then come back to focus on the car. Well. I, I drove it yesterday and I saw about eight streets today and there's everything still there. So when you said Max Miller, wait a minute, I think I don't think so because it could have been some of the, residential streets up on the east side. Yes, ma'am. In the back. But Liberty Pike, Oxford land, the villages of Longmont and Hudson, all those are all still. Yeah, those are the ones that we were discussing. Yeah. They're all. They're all still out there. I mean, there's in Town Park. I don't know if town parks and but we done the road up there too. So, Yeah, this is a major event. It's going to take a long time. And I don't think you need to push yourself. The guys need to know they're doing a great job, but at the same time, it's going to take time. And I just hate for you to push, push, push just because you want to get it done for everybody. And you're right. People are gracious. So they've been really good about it. Thank you guys for your patience. Yeah Jen great. Question. Eileen Pearson when we were talking about seeing some places where, you know, the, the trucks came in and got a lot of the material, but the whole the entire neighborhood wasn't finished. And so we just, I just want to say there are a lot of people who really, really have appreciated what you've done, but but then we've had some people that said, oh, you know, my next door neighbor gotta get theirs taken care of. But we didn't. Yeah.

So it. And we're, we're, we're working to get those completed and that's what the focus and then that we've enhanced in the last week or so is to make sure we drive those through to completion instead of just doing more partials. Correct. Get more complete and put all the resources in a neighborhood and knock it out as opposed to doing multiple neighborhoods, but only part of it. So this is a change in and the way we're deploying the resources. And it's actually had a very positive impact on the neighborhood so that we are able to complete and then how we roll back when we roll back into them with everybody. Again, we've seen it when we coming out of there, they're complete fully. So, it's been a good change that we made the change. Thank you so much. Tell your team thank you. And, board mayor and all, and let's give that. Thank you, mayor. Okay. The consent. Are there any other miscellaneous reports? Seeing none, we'll go to consent agenda. All items on the consent agenda are deemed to be noncontroversial, routine and nature of the governing body. They will be approved as recommended by committee or staff by one motion of the governing body. We're looking at items number 1914. Is there a motion so moved. Thank you all. Second. Second all Brian any discussion? Ready to vote. Alderman Barnhill. Yes. Alderman Blanton. Yes. All in. Peterson. Yes. Alderman burger. Yes. All in Brown. Yes. And Vice Mayor Baggett now. Passes 5 to 1. Next is, this is a public hearing consideration. Resolution 2025, Dash 107, a resolution amending the Gateway Village PUD subdivision to extend the vested rights to the property located south of Linwood Way and west of Franklin Road, located at 120 Davenport

Boulevard, Chelsea. Yes. Thank you. Good evening. The request is to extend the vesting period for 24 months. April 10th, 2026 until April 10th, 2028. To allow the applicant to secure any necessary permits and commence commence site preparation. This revised development plan for Gateway Village PUD was approved by Boma on October 11th, 2021. The plan does include 6.75 dwelling units per acre and 144,258ft² of nonresidential space for a site that is composed of 60.5 acres. The provision was specifically submitted to request the addition of six residential units to their last remaining mixed use building, and staff recommended approval with conditions of the overall development plan. Boma did approve the development plan by a vote of 8 to 0. The current status is that a previous three year extension was granted by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. In October of 2024. The applicant submitted a site plan for, lots 134, but has not yet pulled any permits for this site. The vesting impacts if the vesting period is not extended, the project entitlements would cease to exist. Stop work orders would be issued if applicable, and a new development plan would need to be approved and would be reviewed against the current local development standards. In reviewing the plan against the current city regulations, the current plan generally complies the differences in today's zoning ordinance versus their vested ordinance of 12 eight 2020 are minor and could be incorporated into the design without major changes to the plan. A new park land agreement would be, need to be approved for any new plan, and a new and updated traffic study would be required should the project lose its vesting.

The Franklin Municipal Planning Commission, by a vote, a 7 to 0 vote, along with staff, recommends that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approve resolution 2020 5-107, should they determine that the continuation of vested rights is in the best interest of the community? Thank you. Thank you, Chelsea. Anyone want to speak to this body? If not, I'm going to. I'm Jim Lukens, the engineer for the, applicant or the owner, and I'm just here if you have questions. Okay. Thank you. I'm going to close the public hearing and entertain a motion. If approved. Second. Second. Alderman burger, any discussion? Is this all in Barnhill? I would like to have Chelsea come back up. Can you. Chelsea? Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry, not me. Okay. Yes. Can you. A lot of confusion there. So, miss, you said I think that if the vesting was not approved, that they have to go back through the permit process, but that it would be fairly, I guess, easy to go back through because it would be very little change to what they got versus what the new ordinances and the new regulations are. Is that is that a fair statement? So in terms of, matching the plan that they currently have to what the zoning ordinance says today, it would be fairly easy. But the process itself would still be the same process. They would have to go all the way back to pre-application. They would have to submit a development plan and rezoning, and they would have to go through the review process back to planning commission and then back to three readings with you. I so with Clinton Gateway Village start. You're really testing. Me five years ago. Earlier I'm not sure the exact date and it. Was.

About 20 years when. Two years ago, it was. 2006. 2006 as, alderman, I'm so sorry. I am filling in for Joey this year. So you're really testing my knowledge. So I'm just not. I mean, I was curious. Sure. You know, because we come in, we give up, we give the best and we extend it. We come back two years later, we are asked to extend it again. And they've been active, I guess building on something other for 20 years. It really seems longer than that. But, you know, I don't guess there's any that I would guess it does any harm to the community to have a vesting extended. It's just it would be nice if you were going to do something other and built for this. You couldn't get through it. And I do think at one time they did pave the parking lot in the parking lot. That's not gateway. Cleaned it up. Oh, up. That's not gateway. They didn't do a few years ago with a surface to parking lot on your right, and washed it off into Jackson Lake. Differently. So. Maybe they said they. Do what. They put. Rock down. Yeah. Okay. But not paved over there. I think the resurface the pipe. His office is right there, I promise you. Okay. All right. But that's not me. That was my questions. As to why we would get vesting and keep going on and on and on and on. So, that's I've, I have a feeling that questions probably wasted enough time. I'll remember. Yeah. That place has been empty forever. I would like to see something happen there and soon, because I think we're all tired of seeing a gravel parking lot. It's a nice area. Got some great businesses over there.

And every time you drive in, it's a gravel. Gravel lot. Grab a lot. So it's not easy to go back through. It's time. Time? Time is money. And I do appreciate that for people because, you know, you guys, the risk takers here. Time is money. So I wouldn't want to see them have to go back through the whole process. But I would like to see this happen. And I just had one question. So if they did go back through, you said this is minor changes that would meet the requirements. Yes, ma'am. There would just be some changes, any changes that occurred between 2020 and today which are pretty minor in nature, that area for that for well, prior zoning ordinance overall. Yeah. Yeah. There's no, deviation from height, is there? I don't believe so. No. Okay. Okay. All right. Good. Yeah. Thanks. No problem. All in. Paterson. Isn't this just what we're seeing? Relatively small part of the entire development. That's not been done yet? I'm going to let Emily speak to that. Yes. This is just one remaining lot that's surrounded already by existing development. So even if it did come back through the process, we would review it under the current regulations that deviating from the plan they already have would not make sense, given that the streets are already constructed and that this is already a lot surrounded by existing development, there's really only one way to build. Out this site that. Matches the rest of the development, so we would recommend that if they didn't meet US standards, that they likely need to get a modification on the standards at that point. And that just and. Kind of elongates the process even more. So in this situation, it makes a lot of sense to continue to extend the vested rights. So what's the magic of two years? I didn't ask for for two years.

I would have to ask the applicant that question. I'm not sure. I, I don't. Any other I think that's the, the kind of the question I was asking the other night, we we have this coming up in the last two years, and it didn't. Nothing happens. Two years went for another two years. I would expect to see the project finished at some point in time. And vesting is not needed then. And, because I can. I can tell you there's there's a a there is a desire to see that finished. You can only request a maximum of a three year extension on vesting. So that's that's part of the answer to your question. So three years to the max. Three's the max. Any other comments. Ready to vote. Alderman Barnhill. Yes. Alderman black. Yes. Alderman. Peterson. Yes. Alderman. Byrd. Yes. Alderman. Brown. Yes. Vice mayor. Bag. Yes. Passes unanimously. Item five. This a public hearing consideration. Resolution 2020 5-110A resolution to initiate a study at the request of the property owner, for a plan of services for a potential future annexation of 18.71 acres located north of Clover Croft Road and east of Oxford Glen drive, including 4086 Clover Croft Road and 4092 Clover Croft Road. Hi again. This property is being considered, for annexation initiation. This is adjacent to planned districts with single family residential uses. This property is contiguous to the city limits and within the city's urban growth boundary. The property is within the mixed residential design concept as defined by Envision Franklin Land Use Plan. Mixed use mixed residential design

concept stage that the defined character across this design concept may vary by neighborhood, but new development should transition from existing development patterns in adjacent neighborhoods. In addition, the design concept states that new neighborhoods should have walkable, well connected streets that connect to the surrounding neighborhoods in nearby destinations. It is the intent of the applicant to develop single family homes, but no formal plan has been submitted for staff to review. A draft plan of service is included as an attachment. The Plan of Service does outline how the city will serve the properties requesting annexation, and any additional infrastructure that would be required for new development. This property is in the Watson Branch drainage basin, and was identified as a short term capability area in the city's annexation analysis. The properties lie within the middle Crofton Utility District and would need to follow their guidance on extending water infrastructure. The proposed development is adjacent to the existing city of Franklin limits. Navarra subdivision lies west of the subject property, and if the Novara development moves forward and extends sanitary sewer, the applicant sanitary sewer sanitary sewer extension requirements may be decreased. The sanitary sewer must extend across the subject property for future sewer continuation. The property includes future road roadways listed on the major thoroughfare Thoroughfare plan, including Clover Croft road. Staff recommends that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approve resolution 2025 110. Thank you. Okay. This is public hearing. I have two speaker cards Matt Huff, followed by Mike Burton. Two minutes each, please. Good evening. Board. My name is Matt Huff. Gamble Design Collaborative. And I'm here tonight with Mike Burton from land Landmark Advanced Investments. The intended development, if annexation initiation is approved

this evening, would include a community of approximately 40 single family homes, along with three additional single family lots for the devoir de Boer family, whose annexation initiation you approved late last year. The home sites would average nearly a quarter acre each with purposeful street line tree scapes, tree lined streets, streetscapes, well-planned open spaces and homes of over 3500ft². Designed with Franklin inspired architecture and quality materials. The adjacent community Novara, which is currently under development, has only a single point of access ingress and egress. With our proposal, the road network would be expanded and interconnected, providing both communities with multiple points of ingress and egress. Our team also understands that there are traffic concerns in the area regarding county versus city owned portions of Clover Croft Road, Oxford Glen, the roundabout and Liberty Liberty Pike and traffic volumes in the area. Some of those issues have been a part of the discussion around this corridor for a while. While some are more recent. Our team also, voting for annexation initiation tonight would allow the next step in this process, which is preparation of the plan of services. That plan does not commit the board to formal annexation, but it does give the development team the opportunity to work with staff and provide information that you need to evaluate potential solutions in the area. As Greg mentioned at the work session, landmark has already initiated a transportation study, although it's not required for a proposal proposal. With this number of homes, annexation initiation is still early in the process, and we won't have all the answers tonight. But we want to demonstrate that we are proactively coming to the table to discuss concerns and work. Work toward meaningful solutions. In front of you tonight are two handouts. The first shows the four properties included in the request this evening, along with the de Boer property and staff shared with us that conversation. Start with the with the family. When they realize the complexity of the city, the city's requirements involved in subdividing their property into three parcels for their family members.

As you all know, the city's development process can be a lot for individual property owners to navigate. The De Boer family or long time Franklin residents, a mother, mother and two children who would like to live together on their property. And after discussions with them, landmark and the neighbors have agreed to work together to include include this property as part of the same annexation and planning effort so that everything can be considered and planned cohesively. The second handout is a list of currently approved developments within Ward one and their associated collector road impact fees. As you'll see, these developments will generate approximately $9.7 million in collector road impact fees. Additionally, roughly 750,000 of those funds have already been collected and are available for allocation today, we believe there's an opportunity to look strategically at how these funds could be directed, but the boards for the board's consideration and ultimate decision, particularly as additional developments move forward, an additional impact fees are connected over or are collected over the next several years. Our goal is to work with staff to evaluate how those resources might support improvement to the collector road and collector road network in this part of the city. While our development would represent a relatively small impact less than 50 units, our goal is to be a partner in identifying solutions and doing our part to support these efforts. With approval of this annexation initiation request tonight, we can continue down that path, further our conversation with engineering staff and bring forward those ideas with a formal annexation and development plan submittal. Thank you. Burton. And since you're the applicant, I'm giving you a little bit more time. And thank you. I'll try to stick to the two minutes. Good evening. Board. Mayor. Vice mayor. Thank you for the opportunity to speak here tonight on this, annexation initiation. My name is Mike Burton. I'm with Landmark Investments City. Franklin is a very special place, a place where people earn to live because of so many great attributes.

One of those great attributes is the high quality of infrastructure that you guys focus on. This board and staff does an amazing job. Planning ahead and implementing impactful capital projects. That benefit the citizens that live here. And frankly, the 75,000 or so commuters that work. And play here. Ward one is growing. No doubt there are important challenges to confront. And we have listened and we have heard your concerns. The message I would like to share this evening with you is our intention is to be good friends with and to the city of Franklin. We aren't just saying that we have chosen to show it with our actions. We have started coordinating with your engineering teams. Our engineers are busy collecting data and studying transportation patterns in the area of the project, with an emphasis focusing on peak hour demands, total trips, the effects of ongoing construction projects, and also safety. This data collection and the subsequent analysis will help guide the plan of services and aforementioned strategic plan. It's also noted. It's also been noted that. We are only proposing a small development, and that all of the existing problems. Cannot be addressed by this one project, but we can help in ways. That will add value and benefit the city and its residents. Our team is coming to work every day with a can do attitude, our sleeves rolled up and. Our thinking and doing hats on the vote before you. Tonight, if approved, will. Allow us to continue to do the critically important work that gets us plans that can be implemented and ultimately positive outcomes and results for the citizens. Thank you. Anybody else want to speak to this body? If not, I'm going to close the public hearing, entertain a motion for approval. Thank you all. Members. Second by open Barnhill. Any further discussion? Alderman burger?

Okay. Been meeting with, Gamble Design and Mr. Burton. And I told you upfront to. And I want to say that our infrastructure issues should not be placed on one developer, but the first one over there who said, how can I help? How can we solve these problems? So we've been looking at this a long time, it seems to me. But, I'm not committing to annexation right now, but I am committing to start the process because I would love to get this plan of services because they're willing to help work, work with us on this. And besides working with us, they're doing a traffic study. They were not required to do. I asked for and we have a roundabout at Liberty Park in Oxford. Plan needs to have some. We need to solve some problems. There. We need to work on Clover Croft. We already have turn lanes being put in for Navarro to widen out that intersection down there. We've got to work. We've we're going to have some new leadership coming in the county. And I think, we're even talking to some of the people and seeing how we can work together to, address Clover Croft. But I really want us to have this information. The plan of services is going to give us a lot of good information, along with some studies that they're doing at the roundabout for us and, some other, ideas that I'm trying to bring to the table. So I'm going to support the initial, annexation process so we can do the plan of services and come back and give us some good information. Thank you. Vice mayor.

Question for staff. Next. Residential. Is it require housing to front Clover Croft. So it would not require necessarily it to front to Clover Croft unless they plan on having lots on Clover Croft. So we haven't seen any plan, so I can't really tell you exactly what they're hoping to do. Navarro. Was that a similar. Was that would that have been a similar design concept mixed. Yes. Yes, sir. So I like how they, I always vote for initiating annexation plans and services because I think property owners should have the ability to to take that next step. But I would I just think that the Navarro did a good job with setting back behind the tree line. I think this, this sector of, of Clover Croft has some kind of distinguishing setbacks. So I would just make that comment that that is something I'll be looking at, but, that I think, I think it is a natural progression here, but, the, the would be kind of odd to have housing come straight up on the, on the Clover Croft with, with the kind of setbacks you see around it. But those are my comments. Thank you. Anybody else read vote alderman Barnhill. Yes. Alderman black. Yes. Alderman Peters. Yes. Alderman. Burger. Yes. Alder. Brown. Yes. Vice mayor Baggett yes I yes. This unanimously will now go to item number six. This is a public hearing consideration. Resolution 2025 Dash 105 resolution adopting a plan of services for annexation of property located south of V line, west of Columbia Pike, where the City of Franklin. Good evening. I'm also filling in for Jerry tonight. So this property includes one parcel and lies within the southwest

one, drainage basin as defined by the City of Franklin Sanitary Sewer Basin City. This basin is identified as a long term annexation capability, primarily due to some needed sewer improvements and the overall existing road network in the area. The property does not have sewer currently available to serve as the property, so if the property is annexed, sanitary sewer service will not be provided until the property owner constructs the sewer in accordance with the Franklin Water management requirements. As we do standard with the majority of our annexations, water availability will be provided by age band BTS and the draft plan of services. Details no major concerns and providing infrastructure from a capacity standpoint and providing services like fire, police protection and sanitation to the property. Staff recommends approval and the Planning Commission recommended approval of this resolution by a vote of 7 to 0. Okay, this is a public hearing. I do have one speaker card. Matt Huff, who is the applicant? Hi. Matt Huff with Campbell Design Collaborative, just representing the, owner here tonight. Here to answer questions if you've got any. Thank you. And I have no other speaker cards on that. Is that correct? So okay, I'm going to close the public hearing and entertain a motion. For approval. Second. Second. Alderman Barnhill, any discussion? Vice mayor, I'll. Just say that there's this status of this last time. And I think very, good people can disagree on this, but the three things we need to look at are the property owners annexation request. It's in the

urban growth boundary and does is serve a public interest. And for me, I look at this is, the Ingram's front yard in the backyard. And there he may have a side yard or a other side yard that he's not asking to be annexed. And I can't. That's not something I can really take into account. But, you know, I think that's where I look at this as this is, is the back part of his property. He wants it all. He wants that the major portions of his acreage in the city limits and, and so I'll, approve it, but, yeah, that's that's what I see on this. And those are the three things that we can legally, use to determine annexation request. Anybody else ready to vote? I'll. Our Barnhill. Yes. Alderman. Blanton? Yes. Collin. Peterson. Yes. Inverter. Yes. Alderman Brown. Yes. And vice mayor. Baggage. Yes. Passes unanimously. Well, now, go to item number seven. This is a public hearing consideration. Resolution 2025, Dash 106 resolution. Annex one property consisting of 79.89 acres, located South Lane, west of Columbia Pike and adjoining the city limits within the southern part of the Franklin Urban Growth boundary. Emily. And this is the item to annex the property just described in the previous item for the Plan of Services. This particular property is within the development reserved as the design concept as defined by Envision Franklin. So should development, come in the future? The applicant would have to request an amendment to envision Franklin first before any rezonings could be requested. The property in question is also adjacent to land within the city limits.

It's owned by the same property owner, staff recommends approval of this annexation, and the Planning Commission recommends approval by a vote of 7 to 0. Does anyone want to speak to this body? Seeing none, I'm going to declare the public hearing closed. Entertain a motion. Thank you all on Brown like Alderman Barnhill. Any discussion? Ready to vote? All in. Barnhill. Yes. Alderman. Black.

Hillcrest overlay District for the property located south of heavy line, west of Columbia Pike family. This is the. Zoning or the ordinance to zone for the property discussed in the last two items. This would be a rezoning to agricultural from its existing county zoning. The existing property in the city limits by the same property owners that currently zoned a state residential that this request has been for agricultural zoning. There is also an amendment made at the Planning Commission meeting on January 22nd to, revise the HHR district boundary to match the revised conservation line as shown in Envision Franklin staff lines. Prior to the planning Commission meeting, that what the map attached to the ordinance showed did not include the full extent of the conservation area. So we worked with the applicant and then recommended to the Planning Commission that that be amended on the floor.

So this ordinance before you, how already has that amendment included in it? And those full limits of the conservation area are depicted on this map.
