My favourite part. Today's first topic is to adopt the agenda that we have on the table. Do I have a request for an announcement? Let me remember. Any discussion? Who is on the side? Any opposition?

Any other discussion?

Who is on the side?

Any opposition? The action has been accepted. The next topic is the period of universal rights for the rules of our constitution. And we don't have anyone who has signed up This is an opportunity for those who want to talk about something that has stopped being heard. But since no one has signed up, we will move on to item E, which is the name of the selected members. And I can't see anyone else on this table other than the members. So we are moving very fast. This takes us to item F, which is an item for Sthetan and Nikasi.

And I wanted to clarify one thing. The person who raised his hand on item 7 is the auditor. So, we may have to ask, can this be added back to the consent agenda?

Okay. Item number 7, is it the one on which you would like to listen to Sarvajanik tonight? Or if you are a Vedic and there is no one against it, then it will be approved on the consent agenda. So, we will also bring item 7 back on the consent agenda.

I can read the caption very quickly for this. Item No.

7. For the ownership of the property on Eljabeth Road from RS-10 to R-10, request the staff to change the zoning from RS-10 to R-10. Okay. So, our item 7 is correct. So, very quickly, to make the item clear again, item 5, item 7, item 8, item 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 18. We have heard our agreement agenda. Do we have any proposal for approval? And support? Any other discussion? Is it in all parties? Any opposition? Okay. Our agreement agenda has been fulfilled. And with this, we have only one item left to hear tonight, which is item number 11.

Thank you.

Shubh Sandeep. Riley Penny Item, Gyanapur, Prasthuti Dera. This is a request to change the zoning from RS 20 to R 20 for the property located on Thajaret 817, Iwat Martin Road. Staff's recommendation is accepted. The property is included in the 0.9. It is located on the corner of Abbott Martin Road and Dorcas Drive, in Chon, which has been R.S. Twist since 2002. And for now, there is a house on this property. The next part of it is on the banks of Abbott Martin Road, which is a collector avenue. On the south side of Abbott Martin Road, the west side of the site is mainly the home of single-family families. On the east side, the form of development is different, where already two families and a daughter-in-law family have been developed. On the other side of the road, on the opposite side of Abot, Martin Road and Dorcas Drive, similar two-family utilities are being developed. In the northern pattern of Abot-Martin Road, small plots of R10 zoning district are included, which include a mixture of a single and two-family houses. The two-family utility parcels given above have been shown from Manchitrapetlal Bindos. This property is located within the T3 neighborhood maintenance policy area, which aims to maintain the urban development pattern. This site is located on the side of a collector avenue and here there is also a pattern of two family uses with the collector, including both sides of Abbot Martin Road. The site's shape and location on the corners provide a solution for the location and reach of a single person, which is not available for plots not located on the corner. In the temporary environment, the door stripe and Abbot Martin Road The property of the same size on the opposite corner is included, where the use of the two families is developed. In addition, on the basis of the need for the size of the property and the final plot size of the R-20, the proposed R-20 zoning will allow the use of such two families, which cannot be subdivided, which will keep the current plot pattern. The proposed R-20 is for districts T-3 and NM Neetigat Lakshya. That is why the staff recommends it. Okay. Thank you. We will move forward and start listening to Sarvajanik. What are the promises? Okay. If you want to come forward, then you are welcome. You have eight minutes to keep your side. You don't have to use that full time. We just need your name and city, the part where you live. And yes. Thank you.

My name is Gordon Seabird. My wife and I live on Martin Road, 1,717 Abort. We've been living there since 2015. I thought the staff report was very good. I'll add one more thing that wasn't in the staff report. It is difficult to tell from the aerial view, but Dorcas Drive is not continuous. Basically, we are a cul-de-sac on a closed street. The Dorcas Drive is about 200 feet long and the last 90 feet or more than that is just an open field. The second part of it is that the lower Chhor which is in the north, Excuse me, the opposite side of Abbot Martin is a 10 feet utility easement. It is full of greenery, although there were many trees here before. But we lost something in January. Still, there is a lot of greenery here. Our previous neighbor and I have planted a lot of magnolia and other bushes together. That's why it looks quite different from the areas on the other side of Dorcas. My wife and I thought about it and said, look, there are two houses on the other side of the road. There are four houses on the other side of the road. About a year ago, I took part in one of the Aayog's projects in high school. He said that we are looking for suitable places to add extra voice. And we thought that this is a good opportunity. One last thing that I have recently found out. My son works for a company that has a big project in North Nashville named Rock Nashville. This is quite amazing. He is talking about transfer. So I am not saying that we are building a house for it, but if that happens, we will get this opportunity. We are trying to change this place so that another house can be built on such a plot, which is a little less than the required size for two properties legally. So thank you for your attention. You are very welcome.

If you want, you will have two minutes for the interview. Now, let's start listening to Sarvajanik. Please remind the people in the room that we do not differentiate between supporters and opponents. Please, if you are ready to come forward, you have two minutes. Please tell us your name and the part of the city where you live. My name is Dina Enrich and I am the owner of the house in front of Avedak.

This is a dead-end road. The three of us use the same driveway. They came to live in 2015. I have been living there since 2011, and it is usually quiet. However, many people think that it goes to Dorcas Drive. Dorcas and this is not the case, it ends there. Now, having another house is very challenging for me. The lack of greenery will be a loss for the price of my house. I think the electricity facilities, I mean, because of the trees, my electricity was melting for 8 days. This is much more than before and I think an extra house will be more negative for my situation. Extra traffic. Every time this fact is created, my tyre gets a nail. It is a big challenge for me. And we use a simple way of driving. So whenever something happens, the only question is how do I get out of my house? I get stuck. This is always difficult. And I would like it to be kept as it is and the greenery to remain as it is. This is my feeling right now.

Thank you. Does anyone else want to speak on this topic? If not, would you like to say something in the meeting? Otherwise, we will stop listening to Sarvajaniks and discuss Ayyub. But you are welcome.

I spoke to all three neighbors. And when I spoke to them, they said that they would not like to see the three houses, but they did not have any problem with the two houses. I spoke to all the neighbors around me. And no one had any objection. But I did not listen to their feelings.

Okay, we will close the Sarvajanik Sunwai.

Aayutth Smith, would you like to start?

Thank you, Mr. President. This is a very small change, especially in the size of the lot and the Cleveland Collector Abort. Looking at it, I mean, in the Green Hills area, It might be a good thing to increase the number of students. And I think, as mentioned in the staff report, it has some benefits due to being corner lot. I am on behalf of the staff's recommendation. Does anyone else have anything?

Yes, Aayu. I have a small question for the staff.

A member of the public raised a good point about the driveways, which is a little unusual. If you add one more, I understand that this design relationship is not the place for thoughts. This is only a change in zoning. But is there any public participation in thinking about the design effects of the driveway? Or is it completely different?

I mean, this is only zoning, so it will go through the code department and all the requirements will have to be met for driving in this zoning code. I don't believe what was being talked about. Was Dorcas Drive a public road or something else? But Dorcas Drive is a public road.

It is a public road.

So if it was being called a public road, then it is actually a public road.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a question. When you say that this is a duplex, then what is it? Will it be connected to it? I mean, how will it work? I mean, will there be two separate houses?

There is already a house there, and can it make a second house? Or will this second house be connected to the current house?

The request is to change it to a zoning district that will permit a duplex. So, there is a single-family house on the plot. If it is rezoned, they will be able to join another one. Or the site's reconstruction can be done as a single-family or two-family house. So, this does not mean that a duplex is going to happen, but that a duplex will be permitted.

We do not have any plan with direct rezoning.

After the property is rezoned, this will be done through the code department.

And the house on the other side of the road, C001 and C002, is that a duplex?

Yes, it is. The property is reserved, which means there are two units on one lot. So this is a horizontal property regime in which there are two units on one lot. This is why it is considered a duplex.

And as you said, there is no private road there. This is just a way to get and go to Dorcas.

If I understood correctly what the member of the public was talking about, then I thought that maybe they were telling the Dorcas tribe the private road. But this is Sankara and this is inside the Sarvajanik road. And this is a Sarvajanik road. And this is a Sarvajanik road. This is just a lot of Sankari. This is not like a normal Sarvajanik road because this is not a road that leads to Aarpa.

Thank you. And Commissioner, one more thing. Apart from the duplex, this can also allow a separate accessory dwelling unit, ADU, to be added. So these will be two units, but they can be made in different ways. Is there any other question or tip on this? If not, then we will need to submit it.

We are always disappointed when we don't stop for a long time.

So this takes us to our other work. Historical zoning. Do you have any update?

No big update. We are sitting here. What is the next thing?

Park. I recently saw a detailed update of the mayor on the parks, which was very exciting.

I was going to say that my update can be consistent. There is always a lot going on in the parks. But I think that the mayor's work and the department have been very well-organized.

There is no other tip for today's evening.

Thank you for watching so many updates and the development of the parks. I don't think we have anything at this time. We are in an average month. This month we have two seats. And after that, we will have a seat for three months. So I hope we will all be here for the next few seats. There are some things in front of you that are related to the next steps of design and development policy. Let me remind you that this is the work that we are doing to see the trends and current rules of development in downtown and midtown. So you have an announcement. If you want to see in depth, then the initial decisions have been issued and you can get them on our website. It is really interesting to see the potential of development in the entire field. I think there are some interesting decisions and they will tell us our next steps. Apart from this, I wanted to tell you that in the next session, which is on the 24th, the operator will give you a presentation on the report of the voice-based Dhancha study. So, we are completing it and we will give you the permission to leave. So, these are two things that you can wait for. Thank you very much. No, I was just wondering if we need to do anything about it, but I shouldn't have asked this when the mic was on. We will talk to the general services so that we can understand what can be done to ensure it. Yes, all of you. We will ensure that we understand this for the night of the sit-in. No, we can find a solution for those who are involved in the sit-in. That's what I was worried about. Okay. Commissioner Lacey, would you like to keep the sit-in open at 4.30?

Thank you.

Does anyone else want to discuss this? Sit down. This has been a service to the Metro-Nashville network. If you want to see this presentation again or want more information about this and other programs, then go to Nashville.gov.

Okay.
