And if you have any comments at all on these 10 items, I'd invite you to come forward, give your name and address for the record, and you will be recognized for three minutes.

My name is Amanda Kern. I live at 534 Hunting Hills Drive. I'm here to talk about the East Division Business Park that's going to be planted right next to us at 535 Hunting Hills Drive. My biggest concern, I know right now you can't stop it, it's going to be built. Two things, blasting. So this subdivision or this development is going to be right next to homes. My home is 18 months old. I am very concerned that blasting within 1,000 feet of my house is going to cause damage to my house. So I'd like to see some type of option that inspectors could come make sure the houses, not only mine, my neighbors, this is going to be at least 400 feet, if not closer to my neighbor's home, do get some type of inspection prior to and afterwards. They are already blasting on the west side of this property at Jones Brothers. We feel it, our homes shake. So just asking for that to be considered. The other part is just what it looks like. You come down to a cul-de-sac, we are the end of the neighborhood. There's currently a wood fence. It's kind of pretty that separates us from Amazon. We'd like to see that continued, but also maintained. So getting the fencing maintained so that it looks continuous as you come down to the cul-de-sac. That driveway is going to be removed, but we will still see these new business developments. You know, I bought thinking we wouldn't see so many of them. A lot are hidden from us, but these are going to be right on top of our property. So I just ask that we have some separation. We have kids running around and I'd like it to be safe. So thank you for hearing it.

Thank you for your comments. Is there anyone else to address the Board of Commissioners on these 10 items? All right, seeing none, we will close the public hearing and we'll reconvene at 6.30 for our regular meeting. Thank you, everyone. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Mount Juliet Board of Commissioners. Today is July 13, 2026, so I'll call this meeting to order. We have four of our five elected officials here, so we do have a quorum present. So we will move forward with conducting the City of Mount Juliet, business of the City of Mount Juliet, I say. The first item on this agenda is to set the agenda. So with that, we've got 8B, which needs to be removed from consent without objection. Hearing no objections, we'll remove 8b from consent. We'll read that directly after the consent agenda.

Commissioner Giles? I would like to suspend the rules if we could, and I would like to add my ethics committee representative.

I'll second that. All in favor of suspension of the rules, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? The rules are suspended.

You have the floor, sir. Oh, do you want me to announce who it is? Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah. His name's Josh Randall, and he lives on Pearl Ridge, and he's been in the city for many, many years, married, four children, civil engineer by degree, works as a construction manager, and I've known him for many years.

All in favor of Josh Randall, please signify by saying aye. Aye. He's appointed. And with that, I'll make a motion without objection to go back into regular business. Hearing no objections. Commissioner Lely, you're recognized.

Yes. Also, I request that 9C and 9D be moved up after 8B. So 9C, 9D, and 9E moved.

No, not E. I'm sorry, not E. 9C, 9D.

Right. Just those two things be moved up to be read after 8B.

So basically before 9A and B. Yeah. I follow you.

Okay.

Is there any objections? All right. Hearing none, we'll make that change. And... I would, if there's no objections, I'd like to move nine F and nine G to our consent agenda. Somebody is going to run out of ink before we get started.

Okay.

No objections on that. I will read 9F and G as part of consent. All right. Is there any objections to adopting the agenda as changed? All right. Hearing none, we're adopting the agenda for tonight. Next item on our agenda is our invocation and pledge of allegiance. I would ask our city manager, if you would be so kind, sir, to lead us in the invocation and pledge.

Yes, sir. Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioners, thanks, everybody.

If you'll bow your heads with me, please.

Heavenly Father, we ask that you open our hearts and our minds as we come together for this meeting. Help us to be receptive to new ideas, willing to listen, and open to change. May we approach this time with humility and a willingness to learn from one another. In Jesus Christ's name we pray. Amen.

Thank you, sir. Next item is the approval of the minutes from our last meeting, which occurred on June 22nd. Do I have a motion? Second. Motion second. Any changes, comments? All in favor of adopting the minutes, please signify by saying aye. Any opposed? The minutes are adopted. The next item under our agenda is citizen comments. And I know there's a lot of people here about one project, but before I start citizen comments, I got to say, Commissioner Mullaly, you have done a wonderful job, I think, working with the citizens, the developer. I believe everybody is on the same page unless somebody talks us out of it tonight, but I think we're all on the same page. um if you would if we're here we will open the floor unlike the planning commission this is your opportunity to address the board the board's under no obligations to answer questions from the floor but um this is your opportunity as i said this is our opportunity to speak and we'll recognize you for three minutes i'll ask for is your name and address for the record

Good evening, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Vice Mayor, and Commissioners. My name is Mark Rosella. I'm a resident in Del Webb. I live at 127 March Place. I'm speaking in reference to the Avaline project, and I want to share with you a little bit of history first, but I'll be brief. Several of our Del Webb residents attended the June 18th Planning Commission meeting, and we listened to Summit's preliminary master plan for the 10495 Central Pike development. We also presented our proposed modifications to that plan and since then del web residents have met numerous times to discuss and assess our positions last week we met with commissioner malaylee and the summit development staff and discussed potential flexibility in each other's positions our goal was to agree on a mutually beneficial outcome The meeting resulted in an agreement between the parties, which we hope to have approved at this meeting. I'm just going to mention four highlights briefly, and I'll be done. Number one, the final master plan is to include an Avaline 30-foot no-disturb buffer without a drip line coverage on all Del Webb properties adjacent to the Avaline border, which includes March Place, Dahlgren, and Privateer. Also, favorable slopes in Del Webb and Avaline buffers have resulted in no need for an easement which would have caused drainage lines to be put in at the end of that buffer. And not having to do that will certainly enhance the viability of trees that are in the buffer and not affect the root systems. Number two, the final master development plan is to include retention and maintenance of the existing wire fence along all Del Webb adjacent properties to the Abilene border. Number three, the final master plan to include a setback of the nature trail in the northeast corner adjoining Privateer to reduce foot traffic near Del Webb homes. And then lastly, the final development master plan is to address specific concerns raised during the recent discussions between Del Webb residents, the Del Webb Infrastructure Committee, and Summit Development. Summit acknowledged these concerns and has committed to designing and installing flow and drainage patterns that will maintain drainage patterns so future flows will stay on their property as it currently exists. Obviously the final master plan will include specifics that supports that commitment. So in closing, I request your approval of these specific items previously described via motions to be considered by the board in today's agenda. And I want to thank each of you for your time and consideration and personally thank Commissioner Melele and Mr. Wayne Miller at Summit and their staff for their flexibility in pursuing a good neighbor approach that resulted in the points of agreement to be presented in motions tonight. Thank you very much.

Thank you, sir.

anyone else to address the Board of Commissioners name and address please yeah thank you very much my name is Marlon Keel I live at 230 Citadel Drive a resident of Del Webb and I just want to say that all of the interactions that I have had regarding this project with the staff at Mount Juliet with Commissioner Mullaly, the developer, and the consultants for the developer have been very positive. Originally, when we saw the Preliminary Master Development Plans, we saw a drawing that showed no stormwater management on the westerly portion of the site. Well, thankfully, that wasn't the case. And the developer responded very positively that there's going to be balanced stormwater management on this site during the construction process with the stormwater pollution prevention plan and the best management practices that will be employed there. And then there will be pocket stormwater management facilities throughout the western side of the site, which gave us, me personally, a greater level of comfort. So I just want to say I want to thank Commissioner Mullaly for all the work that she's done in putting these meetings together for the developer and his staff and the consultants for the developer that we feel like and personally, I feel like this project is going to be managed in a manner that will protect the waters of Stoner Creek, which are the receiving waters for two sections of this development, one on the eastern portion and one on the western portion. not only in water quality, but water quantity. And we know that things like happened, like they did just a few minutes ago, where we had a tremendous outburst of rainfall. And it's difficult to control those during development. But I think that this developer has been very open, very responsive. And I would hopefully that this commission would approve this preliminary master development plan. And the particular item is that commissioner Mullaly is going to bring forward. Thank you.

Thank you, sir, for your comments. Anyone else to address the board of commissioners?

My name. name is steve turner at 176 privateer and i just want to reaffirm what everybody said already um the commission has done a great job helping us out the developers have been wonderful and uh thank all the fellow dell webers that got involved with this so we appreciate it hope you approve the emotions and thank you thank you sir anyone else for the address the board of commissioners

All right. Seeing none, we'll close the citizen comments and we'll start with our commissioner comments. Commissioner Giles, you were recognized, sir, for five minutes.

All right. Thank you. Hey, I want to thank you all for coming out tonight. And it's so great to hear compliments and positive remarks about any commissioner. Thank you. commissioner and then the people from Dell web, you that's come out and y'all worked so hard with. With this developer and, uh, it sounds like it's going to be a, um, a very, very good development. Very exciting. I also want to bring Mitch and it should be up here about, we have an annual Greenway walk coming up on the 13th of August. It's a family friendly event. Uh, we do this every year. We've done it for several years. Yeah. The Greenway and, uh, the, the flyers up there and they're somehow here. And please tell your neighbors and tell your family and bring your family and come out. We have a grand time every year. It's on the 13th again of August at 6 p.m. at Charlie Daniels Park with the trailhead over there and the rain outs on the 27th. So we sure hope you'll come. and be able to interact with a bunch of us and the other citizens of the city. I also want to say that I was very, very pleased and excited to be at a groundbreaking that we had a few weeks ago on the 29th of June for Old Lebanon Dirt Road. You know, this project stems back before our time on the commission, and I was gone for a few years, but I went back in 2014. I started, well, it started out as an ordinance and that's what I, i brought to the table and then we we deferred it for maybe two two meetings and then we changed it to a resolution because we were having so many wrecks on old lebanon dirt road and if you remember out there next to the the rock wall and we had a bunch of stuff doing it so we finally came to a vote it was 4-1 to get city staff to do a safety analysis of that road so that we would know what to implement and uh andy barlow was here at the time the public works director so he coordinated with tdot to do it and so in 2019 and that's when they came in and did some guard rails and some striping and um some reflective markers on there and then that was just that was just a just a drop in the bucket of what now obviously is going to be done it's taken commissioners before us it's taken us some that's not here now and and hopefully it won't be ones that come after us but it takes so long to get these projects funded and to get these projects to come to fruition so you can see how long this has taken and i just um sponsored that in 2014 and that was just a safety part of it all the other was even a lot of it before and after so i just want everybody to know we try and it just to be patient with us it takes a long time but you get to see what's going to come to fruition and safety is the name of the game we try to protect our citizens so thank you all again for being out it's a great place to be in mount juliet So thank you, Mayor. That concludes my comments.

Thank you, sir. Vice Mayor, you're recognized for five minutes.

Thanks, Mayor, and thank you, Commissioner, for bringing that up. Excited about that project as well as the infrastructure that we're going to be bringing out there to make those roads safer. But first of all, I'll tell you, for all the folks that are – can I get a raise of hand for all the folks that are here from Dell Webb? Man, that's amazing. Thank you all for the great comments. And most importantly, sitting up here, it was nice to hear the Pledge of Allegiance, you know, just read off so clear and beautiful. So, I mean, how blessed are we to be able to, first of all, start that off, especially turning 50 years of our country. So thank you all, man. It was great to hear that from up here. Wish you guys could experience as much as I just did. um for the folks that are out here tonight also the folks are online um obviously you know commissioner mulally did a great job uh i've never gotten so many positive emails from residents so uh my apologies for not responding to all of you i actually tried to call some of y'all but uh the you know the phone numbers just were not matching so um But I did try and reach out and just couldn't respond to everybody. But thank you for the positive feedback as well as a developer taking the time to actually listen to the citizens and make sure that we can partner together. I mean, we can't always stop all the growth, but we can obviously make it beneficial for everyone. So thank you all for what you guys do back there. Good partnership. Obviously, we just wrapped up a beautiful Independence Day, 4th of July. I just want to thank, first of all, our park staff for everything that they've done to pull that event together. Hopefully, we still have power here in a little bit. Storms are here and lights are flickering for the folks that are online. So, but, you know, just really appreciate all those folks that came out to, you know, set the, you know, the entire event there's a lot of uh items that have to be ready to go before uh you know before we go live on the fourth of july so uh but also um outside of the staff uh the residents that came out and helped out cleaning up afterwards even the next day cleaning up it was great to see that also our first responders a lot of them men and women that were out there in uniform as you guys can imagine it's very hot we're out in shorts and shirts and they're in bulletproof vests black uniforms in most cases and they were melting in some in some areas so we greatly appreciate all the men and women that were out there making sure that the event was safe people were able to get in safely as well as leave that's very important when it comes down to bringing everyone together And also the sponsorships that actually help out the city to, you know, to have such a beautiful event. It's great that we're all able to come together and even have some of the local businesses help sponsor these events. And they were beautiful fireworks. The nice lady that was talking about blasting through the first set of remarks, I tell this with everyone in my district and all the folks that even reach out to me, anytime that you get a survey, it's important for them to be able to come in, get a copy of that survey. you know if you're in that blasting zone and it's important to be able to make sure that that everything is documented and you get a copy before and after especially if there's some blasting that's some developments around there last thing is as we you know continue on with you know this time of year it's it seems like to me it's like spring showers but really here we are in middle of July and we're getting a lot of storms so C click fix. I believe that's still the app that's out there. Please continue to communicate that you're our eyes and ears to our, uh, our, our roads, anything that's getting washed out, any type of issues. Um, our staff is monitoring those sites. So if you see something where we get these really bad storms, um, we're doing our best to be proactive, but, um, sometimes things happen all the night. So please make sure that you, uh, document it and reach out to city staff. Um, even the commission here will even, uh, Go ahead and pick the ball up and run with it if you reach out to us. So please let us know what's going on there. And, Mayor, that concludes my report. Thank you.

Thank you, sir. We'll recognize Commissioner Mullaly for her comments.

Thank you. Um, yeah, like vice mayor said, and, uh, we do, we had two fireworks shows that were very successful. I don't know if you attended one of them, but they were both awesome. Um, the city had one at circle P and Needham's nursery had one at, um, Mount Juliet Christian Academy and they were, they were both great. Uh, so thank, thank you for both of those shows and, um, Again, on the Greenway Walk, this year's Greenway Walk by BPAC, which is Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee. I serve on it as the board chair from the BOC. And Commissioner Giles chairs that. I didn't say I was chair, did I? I serve on it as the BOC rep. And then Commissioner Giles is the chair of that committee. But we do have these every year. They're awesome. This is a 3, 3.3 greenway walk. Join us in the back of Charlie Daniels Park. The trailhead is Cedar Creek Greenway. It's mostly flat. So bring your family, bring the kids. They can do it. They'll absolutely love it. We look forward to it again, you know, every year. And again, it's August 13th. Rainout is August 27th at 6 p.m. Those are both Thursday nights. Let's see. I don't want to forget anything here. All right. So talking about, um, the blasting like vice mayor did, um, you know, you may or may not know the, the blasting is controlled by the state, the, um, the state fire marshal. And what happens is when they go, they hire the blasting companies and where they put those seismic readers. I think it's state law that they have to contact every homeowner within 300 feet. I believe it is state law. Is it three or two? Okay. So anyway, they're required to contact the homeowners. If they come to your door, I would highly recommend you getting that survey. it's worth it. It's just extra protection. So I just wanted to say that. And the other thing on these developments, I just think it's so awesome when you have a developer that's willing to sit down with the community and just listen to you, listen to your concerns. And I feel like Summit has really listened to us, the Del Webb community. And so I appreciate both sides coming to the table and ironing it out and finding a middle ground. That's awesome. To me, I'm a round table person. Let's just sit down and discuss it and see where we can meet in the middle. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, but this one was very successful. So I'm so proud of each side. that it also helps when you have residents with these professions, like in civil engineers and all kinds of engineers and that, that whole profession there that helps a lot because you bring things up that I may not even think of. And then the developer can resonate with that and say, yes, and here's what we're going to do. So I just really appreciate both sides willing to come to the table and finding a, what I think is a very successful compromise. Um, so I'll be sharing more about that. I got some motions I'm going to make and the two, cause the two biggest issues, uh, were stormwater runoff. We see that a lot with, uh, projects that were approved years and years ago. Um, We're now, you know, we have to deal with the stormwater runoff. But I like to do things on the front end to, you know, help eliminate that. So I really appreciate the input we got on that because it also creates erosion, which we don't want. We don't want extra water going in that creek, Stoner Creek, because it's bad for the ones downstream. You know, I have two areas in Blinda City, which is southeast Springdale and sunny Mead, those two areas are very vulnerable and they're impacted by the Creek. So, um, that's very important. And then, uh, the trees, I got a visual I'm going to show you when this item comes up on the agenda, how much, um, common area green space this project, um, has set aside. And it is just really amazing how much, uh, how many trees are going to be saved.

in this development but i'll have more to say on that and this completes my report thank you commissioner i am told is 300 feet 300 feet for the survey and with that i'll give my comments ditto and i'll recognize uh city manager kenny martin for his

Thank you, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioners. Thanks for everybody for coming out tonight. It's good to see a lot of friendly faces from Del Webb and beyond here in the city. Appreciate you coming out tonight and participate. Hey, Joe, I had to venture out in the rain. It's been an unusual June and July as far as for rain. But, Mayor, I'd be remiss if I didn't say this. We've got somebody that's a dear friend of all of us and our community that's in the audience tonight. And won't call them out in particular but i want them to know that we're saddened for their loss and we continue to pray for them and lift them and their family up in our thoughts and prayers and that's not just words that's who our community is and that's who we are and this person we consider a dear friend and i want them to know how we feel about them more than just as a friend but as family so uh will we continue to pray for that particular person that particular family and they are definitely in our thoughts and prayers uh for everybody else for coming out tonight we greatly appreciate you i was going to give mr keel a shout out mr keel that's adele webb resident as well worked for the city for a long time very smart man very bright man we appreciate his diligence as well and what all he did for the city a lot of these projects that are coming to fruition now he had his hands and fingerprints all over them commissioner miley thank you so much for the great work that you continue to do with dale webb and the community and the folks in your district this is a perfect example of when it works and it works well so that's why i appreciate the commission because without the citizens it's just a spot on a map as i always like to say but i'd also like to give a shout out to our parks team of course the police department fire department ems for the wonderful work they did we had two shows this year uh for firework shows they both went off flawlessly um that was a small few small injuries outside of the uh the event at homes where people were discharging fireworks And I appreciate the efforts of EMS on that. But I'd be also remiss if I didn't give TDS, Volunteer Bank, Circle P Ranch, Needham's Nursery, and, of course, our staff a shout-out for all their fine work. It takes a whole lot of work to put something like that together and it go off without a hitch. And I appreciate all of our great citizens. And, Mayor, with that, that concludes my report. God bless everybody. God bless our great country.

101 through 11110 sign regulations a motion second 8b is on the table has any questions or comments vice mayor you're recognized yes i'd like to make a motion to modify a couple things here first for clarity if that's okay uh first one is going to be On page 30, we look at the quantity. The first thing here is that we would like to move it from. So my motion will be to move from six permits to eight permits per year.

Do you have more than one? Yes, sir. I got two more. Do you want to just take them?

OK. OK, yeah. I mean, if we can put them all in one, it'd be great. Also, I just want to make sure. So we see on the same page, page 30, it says banners may only be placed on the building facade. It cannot be freestanding. They may not exceed the roof line or the parapet wall. I believe that needs to be clarified. That was also highlighted in red. Is that correct? And then we have one more. If we go over to page, let me go over to it. Yes, here it is. If we go to page 32, where it says one sign, our motion is still to move that to two signs per candidate issue and subject with no duplication signs allowed. And then also, that was on page 32. It's right there in quantities section.

It's only two sons.

Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, but I believe that it was crossed out. So we need to move that from one to two. Is that correct? That was the original motion.

Okay.

Okay. That was correct in it. Okay. Just want to make sure. And then, um, Well, if that's the case, then, uh, back on page 30, the banners, uh, that are in red right there, is that need to be corrected or is that just already been approved for the first reading the nonprofit? Uh, yes. So that was also for page 30. There it is. So, yeah, so we wanted to, um, to remove actually, um, go ahead and make that for allowing, uh, banners, temporary allowing for nonprofits. Only for nonprofits, that's correct. Yes, that's correct. Thank you.

So that's my motion. Are there any objections to the change?

But I do have a question about page 32, where it says no duplicate signs. Is that right? Page 32. OK, never mind. All right, just a second.

Yeah, that's per candidate, yeah.

I give it a second.

Thank you. Any objection to the changes? They're adopted without objection. Back on the ordinance as amended one time. Commissioner Mulledy.

All right, I have one more. This is page 67. This has to do with... sign intended for temporary use other than temporary construction site or commercial signs temporary non-commercial signs include election and campaign signs the section that needs to be amended is under quantity it plainly states two signs per candidate slash issue slash subject Subject needs to have a period and end the sentence right there, and the remaining language is to be removed, which is with no duplicate signs allowed.

Okay. That's page 32 of the printout. Yeah. Yep.

Now, my motion is page 67.

Let's say page 67 of the packet.

Yeah, agenda page 67.

32 of the sign ordinance. Correct. Now.

Two numbers, and both are red. I'll second that.

Okay. So I'm confused, because you said 32, which was the signed ordinance, but 67 is the agenda packet page. So when you were.

We were changing the same thing. Okay, but. You shortened up the actual sentence right there.

Yes. So we're good on that? Yes. Okay. All right.

All right. There was a second on that? Do we need a vote or take action?

Oh, no, I had a second on it, yeah.

Okay. Is there any objections? All right. Without objection, adopted. Any other questions or comments to the ordinance? All in favor of the ordinance as amended by two times, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? It's adopted. Next item on the agenda is... further back in my packet. Which is non, any objections to reading non C and D together? I'll read them both. 9C, which is an ordinance to annex into the corporate boundaries of the city of Mount Juliet, approximately 175.52 acres of property on Central Pike, map 99, parcel 14. The property being located within the city's urban growth boundary. And 9D, which is an ordinance to rezone and adopt the preliminary master development plan for approximately 175.52 acres of property on Central Pike, map 97, parcel 14, from Wilson County R1 to RS20 PUD.

motion second a motion seconds on the table commissioner would you like the floor yes please you were recognized all right let me just make sure this works okay there we go and the pointer okay i'm ready All right, so this is Avalon. And this is the one that we were talking about earlier that is south of Del Webb. So before we get started, I would like, this is Signature Homes. If you're familiar with Jackson Hills, it's the same builder. Awesome job in Jackson Hills. Again, this is the same builder. And I just want to say real quick, that Signature Homes was named the St. Jude Builder of the Year and Signature Homes is looking forward to bringing their St. Jude Homes to Avalon in the coming years. So yeah, I think that's awesome. Okay, so just some visuals here and then I got some motions to make. This is the project and along the... top border up here we have Dale Webb this over here is Providence Landing and this over here is Walton's Grove they're all three my constituents okay so this is just in the northeast corner we're going to be talking about this area This here is, that is the sidewalks and trails. And I don't know if you can see the color very good. This is a closeup of where this nature trail is right here that we're gonna be talking about. All of this right here is wooded, all of that. So this trail right here, gonna be talking about. This is just a lower section. This here again is sidewalks and nature trails the orange are the nature trails the blue is sidewalks all right now this here you can see in the orange this is common open space the blue is amenity open space to me for a project this is just amazing this open space this green space that they've allowed in this development that I love that because usually, you know, they go in and masquerade. But I just want you to get a visual of the natural buffers that are going to be saved in this project. Again, this is just a close-up of the nature trail. You can't see it, but this is the existing drainage and stormwater. This is the proposed drainage and, I mean, grading and drainage. And this is utility. So anyway, we discussed all of this in our meeting with the developer and So going back to the beginning, I have some motions that I want to make. And again, I appreciate everyone coming to the table with the development team and Del Webb. I think it is a very, very productive meeting. So thank you to the board for your patience going through all these motions. I have broken them down one at a time. So hopefully with the visuals, you'll clearly understand My motion. All right. The first one talks about fencing and what this is. Okay. The page that I sent that has the red I was just going to lay out where the fencing is to go along with my motion. Oh, there it is. Okay, all that red area right there has to do with this motion on the fencing. A motion that the existing barbed wire fence is to remain and maintained along the northern boundary to Del Webb, specifically March Place, Dahlgren Drive, Privateer Lane, and Paxian Place. In addition to Del Webb, the barbed wire fence along the northwest corner behind Bench Lane and Providence Landing, all the way to the south where that tree preservation area is, and the northeastern section south to the homes right there along keel kenny that connects to wanton grove that uh this fence will remain and may be maintained as well so that's my motion you have the digital and you have the printouts second okay any um any objections all right none it's adopted Okay. All right. Number two has to do with drainage. Oh, go back to the other one, I guess. Which actually, that's the drainage, but you can't see it very good. We'll just... Go back to that one. Okay. A motion that the current drainage pattern between this project and Del Webb shall be maintained and protected so that flow stays on the project property as it exists today, and therefore it will not be altered. Any collection basins on the northwest sector will not be located directly on top of the boundary between Del Webb and this project. These basins will be engineered and designed appropriately to retain stormwater and take downstream impacts to Soner Creek into consideration. That's the motion.

One second. I got one thing to say. We got staff sitting here on the front row. If you would please raise your hand if you hear anything on here that we're going to need to change in the ordinance as it's written right now in case of conflicts. So we don't wind up with any, but.

Yeah, and also some of these things are going to be closer to the final master development plan. So if that language needs to be added in, just let us know.

All right.

Is there any objections to the second amendment? Hearing none, it's adopted.

Okay. Number three is the tree buffer. A robust, this is not the motion, I'm just saying this, a robust natural tree vegetation and green space buffer already exists along the northern boundaries. Here's my motion. A motion that a 30-foot complete do not disturb existing tree vegetation and green space buffer without drip line coverage is to remain on this property along the northern boundaries that abuts Del Webb. which would be up here.

All right. So that was a second. Any objections? Hearing none, it's adopted.

Okay. Number four, a motion for the existing natural tree vegetation and green space buffer on this property on the northeastern boundary, which is all this. and northwestern boundary which is all this remain as they do not disturb preservation area as according to the site plan as in the example provided that's the motion okay and we had a second any objections or it's adopted without objection okay Number five, a motion for a tree inventory and preservation study be prepared by a certified arborist identifying existing trees, vegetation within the preservation areas and adjacent limits of disturbance. Grading, utility installation, and construction disturbance shall occur outside the protected root zones to the greatest extent possible.

Okay, a motion and a second. Any objections? It's adopted.

Okay. Number six, the nature trail. All right, let's go to that. All right, right here. Can you put that other one up on the nature trail? Yeah, right there. Okay. Now, this motion that the portion... This is going to sound confusing, but hopefully with the visual, it makes sense. I motion that the portion of the nature trail that goes up into the wooded area. This is the pond. Okay. This area right here, uh, north of the northern most pond, it has to, there's a pond, there's a pond. So this pond here. in the northeast section of the property be removed, this right here, and only exist no further north of the easternmost section of the pond, which would be right about here. So as indicated in the example provided.

Yeah. A motion and a second. Any objections? That was a fine engineered drawing.

Well, thank you. Okay, now, number seven has to do with the public works engineering. A motion to amend public works condition number 13, starting with the second sentence and state, quote, these lanes shall be approved by the city and TDOT prior to issuance of the land disturbance permit Currently, it says construction, so what it is, instead of construction, it says land disturbance permit.

Mine reads land disturbance permit. Does it? Correct.

Is that the one in the ordinance?

Yes. So what I have here on 13 is left turn and right turn lane shall be installed on Central Pike at Okay, well, you were on the second sentence.

The second sentence.

These lanes shall be approved by the city and TDOT prior to construction. These improvements shall be completed by the issuance of the land disturbance permit.

Okay, let's concentrate on the second sentence where it says construction. The word construction is supposed to be replaced with land disturbance permit.

Prior to, okay, so basically the wording in the third sentence there.

Yeah, I'm going to get to the third sentence. Okay.

And we have representation at the, yes, sir.

Sorry, there was a mix-up at the planning commission meeting where some of the triggers were backwards, and the commission was just cleaning up the language. We're approving the plans prior to land disturbance permit, and then they're getting built, and there's a different trigger on that.

All good? Yeah. Okay. So that's just the word phrase switch right there. So that replaces the word construction. Okay. And then the third sentence, it shall read, these improvements shall be completed prior to signing the first final plat. And currently it says issuance of the land disturbance permit. So instead of that, it says prior to signing the first final plat.

And that makes immensely more sense.

Okay.

Any objections? I'll second it. Any objections? It's adopted.

Okay. Now the rest of them have to do with planning amendments. Number eight, these motions are amendments to planning condition number three. Okay, so which matches the handout provided to staff and agreed upon by the planning commission that just adds more detail and commitments to the variance request than what was originally presented. Okay, so I'm going to read it, but what I read replaces A, number A, under condition three. Okay, now with me. All right, masonry homes, at least 50% of the homes within the development shall be predominantly clad in masonry. Brick and or stone shall be the primary exterior material on each elevation of the home. Brick and or stone shall comprise not less than 75% of the aggregate net exterior wall area of the home, calculated across all elevations and excluding windows, doors, and garage doors. This is a new word I've never seen before. Cement, cementuous Siding may be used on bay projections, wall areas, above roof lines, dormers, gables, and other architectural or accent features. OK, and in this second part, cementuous siding homes. No more than 50% of the homes within the development may. be predominantly clad in cementuous siding. I know I'm not saying that right. Permitted cementuous siding may include horizontal lap siding, board and batten siding, shake siding, panel siding, or a combination thereof. Each cementuous siding home shall include a continuous brick or stone masonry skirt on all elevations. The masonry skirt shall extend from finished grade to the bottom of the siding so that no concrete or concrete masonry foundation is exposed following final grading. The next section, permitted accent and architectural materials, natural wood, cementuous trim, composite trim, cellular PVC or other PVC trim, and metal may be used for columns. beams, brackets, shutters, louvers, decorative panels, trim, porch elements, awnings, roofing accents, and other architectural features. Such materials shall not be considered primary exterior wall materials when calculating the percentages required by this section. All right, another section is vinyl siding. This is already in our code. Vinyl siding shall not be permitted. This is not allowed anywhere in the city. So the next session is soffits, fascia, and eaves. Vinyl soffits, fascia, and other eave materials shall be permitted in this project. In the last section, masonry definition. For purposes of this section, masonry shall include brick, natural stone, manufactured stone veneer, and cast stone architectural materials. So everything I just read replaces A under condition three.

You got a second?

He told me I had to read all that.

Your A is a lot longer. Is there any objections? It's adopted.

Okay. All right. Now this one is in support of my tree preservation motion that we've already mentioned that would provide a natural 90 foot minimum separation between homes on either side. Okay. So the motion is a motion to amend planning condition number six by adding E after D that states Lots 220 to 239 be permitted a 15-foot front setback and 15-foot rear yard setback.

And to clarify, that replaces six in entirety?

No, add an E under D. Oh, I'll follow you.

I mean, it's not like you highlighted it in yellow right there for me to see. And you seconded. Any objections? All right. It's adopted.

Okay. One more. I motion to amend planning condition number 32 to include the language, comma, instead of a period, it's a comma. or install a landscape berm between rear of lots two to five to screen rear of houses from view of Central Pike. If landscape berm is utilized, it shall be approved by staff at FMDP.

A second on this. Any objections? All right. It's adopted.

All right.

and question for john do we need to take any other action on any of these other variances such as four and five i'm good with them as a written let me look at them real quick to remind myself They just, like three, four, five, and six, which six we've amended part of, three we've amended part of it, but it all starts with Planning Commission support, so just want to make sure if we need to take action on those.

That was three, six, and 32.

Should be good. Good as written? Good as written. Okay.

Good stuff.

And then under Engineering, We've got 11, which is the following roadway variances are requested. And you've got two, four, five. Is adopting the ordinance as written gonna capture those? Okay. Sorry. If we're good, I'll just adopt all the comments. And then under 19, we've got the Planning Commission recommends the development comply with the newly updated Mount Juliet Road standards. Then 20, work with staff on adding a roundabout as a traffic calming measure. Is that something that you plan to address further through the project on 20?

That's a condition that came up at the Planning Commission meeting. Technically, these guys came in before an update to our subdivision regulations, so they're not bound by the update. But however, the Planning Commission is requesting that between now and FMDP, they start looking into can we get traffic common roundabouts and can we update our road standards? Just some some safety improvements, try to slow down traffic.

Yeah. And do we have anything on here that's requiring, I read some references to private, no, I'm sorry, wrong project, that's the next one. All right, I'll make a motion that we adopt all items that were recommended by the Planning Commission except for those that conflict with Mrs. Mullaly's changes. Any questions or comments on the amendment? All right. Without objection, it's adopted. We're back on 9C and 9D as amended 11 times. Any other questions and comments on the two? All right. All in favor of 9C and D, please signify by saying aye. Any opposed? Those two do pass with 11 amendments on D. All right. The next item is 9A. which is an ordinance to mend into the corporate boundaries of the city of Mount Juliet approximately 14. Excuse me, before I read these, is there any objection to hearing 9A and B together? Not hearing any objections. So 9A, which is an ordinance to annex into the corporate boundaries of the city of Mount Juliet approximately 14.5 acres of property on Chandler Road, Map 76, Parcel 8. The property being located within the city's urban growth boundary. And 9B, which is an ordinance to rezone and adopt the Plymouth Remastered Development Plan for approximately 14.5 acres of property on Chandler Road, Map 76, Parcel 8 from Wilson County R1 to RS 20 PUD. I have a motion to second. The two items are on the table.

I would like to invite representation up to talk about the conversations he had with the local residents.

I was very impressed how that handled it at Planning Commission.

Yeah.

Name and address for the record, please.

It's Bill Charles at 357 Riverside Drive, Suite 210, Nashville, Tennessee. It's Bill Charles. Yes, sir.

What was the question, Commissioner?

I know that you deferred at planning and then you got with the local residents because they brought some things that you weren't aware of and you met with them and discussed a lot and came up with compromises and told them your plan of things you know how to address like the karst and the sinkholes and um you know different things and the in the tree buffers where you're going to place them and all that and after he speaks i need to know if we need to adopt any of these motions to you know to put it in the plants okay

Thank you. So when we first met with Planning Commission, we were unaware of some water issues that some of the neighbors were having. We deferred that night after we realized that one of the neighbors had a significant amount of water running across their property. So we took a step back. The first thing we did as soon as that meeting ended and we deferred We hired a geologist and a geotechnical engineer and also a civil engineer to come out with us and also our biologists, the three of us, and we went out and we walked the property. We tried to identify all the pictures that the neighbor had sent to us that we had a chance to kind of look through and try to orient ourself on the property. And the results out of that conversation, in fact, my civil engineer is hiding over there in the corner, Michael Dewey. So... michael our civil engineer went back and he looked at with our geologist the karst features the amount of flow the drainage basin that was collecting the water that was causing water to flow across our property and across this gentleman's property our neighbors and the results out of that in fact i'm gonna let michael explain that part go ahead

I'm Michael Dewey with Dewey Engineering 2925 Berry Hill Drive in Nashville. Yeah, we were made aware of some pictures that were sent to us and videos. And so we took that very seriously and did our, we went ahead and did a drainage hydraulic study, submitted that to staff so they could, could put their eyes on it. And so we wanted to make sure that we oversized the drainage basin um and make sure that that was all done on the front and it's not something that we normally do um on at the preliminary stage so we're going to make sure that we had that done at this time and so um the way we have it designed now um is is oversizing the the detention basin to reduce the flows uh fairly significantly from from what they're from what's being um from what's there today

We also, so we prepared a study, figured it out, and went back to the residents. Not that we're trying to say that we're solving the problem, the existing condition, but we have done enough homework to really feel like we're making a big impact on the existing condition that's out there today by oversizing the detention fund. We also had a couple other things pop up in our conversation with some of the neighbors. We found out that one of our neighbors has a storage building that is on our side of the property, or partially on our side of the property. So we're putting on our plans to create a five-foot easement around that building and the building itself and allow the neighbor just to leave the barn there and give them full, uh, private rights to access that bond. The, uh, the other things that we talked about is we had some, a lot of discussions wasn't really something that, um, was brought up as much as the water issue that we just talked about but we were trying to be conscious of some of the trees and some of the buffers that we had to some of our neighbors uh as an example one of our residents actually has a house that backs up to our property which currently now is all trees and so we've been working diligently to try to figure out how to create the right buffers to try to create as much of a protection or a screen for them as as we could and there's three primary residents that we back up to on different sides so three total um trying to think of what else we discussed I mean those are those are the primary things okay all right thank you sir

Vice mayor.

So, um, and thank you first of all, for meeting up with me and give me some detail. Um, I know when we discussed this, there was a, some discussion about you were going to be walking out there to see about a sinkhole that there was some water going down. And then, uh, do we ever get that clarified? Was that on your side or on the other gentleman's side?

Actually bill, that's a good, good comment. I forgot to mention that earlier. So as part of us going out there and walking the site with our geologists, civil engineer and biologists, were two sinkholes that were identified one of the sinkholes actually ends up inside of the detention pond now because we have increased the size of the detention pond and so there's a couple of options that you could technically go with one is to turn that sinkhole into injection well and try to push more water into the ground water table Alternatively, uh, our geologist actually came up with the idea of why don't we take and put a detention pond structure, a concrete structure over the top of the sinkhole with a, um, with an inlet in the top of that. So that in the event that there is a massive Noah's arc type flood that before the water spills over, like it normally would over the top of a detention pond, like a 2010 flood, It would actually go into this basin, and it would then inject it into the groundwater table as a second belts and suspenders to our neighbors. That was the intent.

Okay. Actually, so since you just found out about the barn, any concern as the age of the barn there? I mean, I'm just thinking, you know, it's not really a city.
