“All right. I have two things. This was from number 10 of my conditions at first reading. One sentence got left off, and this is on page 94 of the agenda packet. Under planning, this is number 32. At the very end of where it said the second Senate screen, the rear of the house is from Beale Central Pike. That should be a comma. Hold on. Lost my paper. Sorry. All right, that was number 10. OK. So a Senate's got left off. That should be after Central Pike is comma. If landscape berm is utilized, comma, it shall be approved by staff at FMDP. And that is a motion.”

“I have one more. Yes, ma'am. This was a waiver that had got left off that we need to add in, and it's under planning. So I guess it would be number 40. Okay. And it states waiver. So this is a motion. Waiver to the lot coverage requirement to allow up to 50% maximum lot coverage on all lots.”

“Thank you. Will you call that flyer back up? Just one other quick thing about the Greenway Walk Thursday night. Please come. It's open. Bring your family. It's open to the community. I don't think you mentioned this, it's about a three mile walk and it's mostly flat. So we don't have any major hills to climb. So that's a good thing. So bring your kids, bring your family. You can even bring your dog. So please come out for that. So one of the things too for BPAC, it has a non-profit called Friends of Mount Juliet BPAC. And so it allows for grants that we can apply for. And so we did apply for…”

“When I was doing the grants, thankfully this year, we had a little bit of extra money to work with. So I was able to increase substantially. All the sports programs are based on the number of participants at $25 a head, the ones that are on there. I did not give two sports anything because one is Tennessee Flyers baseball, which is a travel team. The other one is Wilson United Soccer League. They also had asked for something last year as well. They're asking for $45,000. The city did donate the land of where they practice, and I think that that should count for something. But the reason is…”

“All right. Just a couple of graphics to show you. Okay, so it's just a visual to kind of explain what I said already. I did get some answers to some of the questions that I gathered on, let me find where I did one. Okay. On social media that I collected. So you see here a side-by-side comparison. So what changes and what stays the same? So today we're under a home rule charter that we, the voters adopted in 2006. So Mount Juliet basically controls its own charter. which means the voters have to vote on a charter change. And so nothing where it says voters down, none of that changes. You still…”

“Hello. Yeah, I promised I was going to get some answers for you. So if I run out of time again, just let me know. Um, and again, that will address what the mayor said to, um, if the city is approved for an impact fee structure, how much would the state get? What would be their portion? And would we have to share it with the county? The state would not get any portion of the city's impact fees and the city would not have to share it with the county. What protections would prevent unrelated state interference down the road in the future if HR is repealed? Repealing home rule would not grant the…”

“Okay. I would like to make a motion that these streets and sidewalks be private, meaning that the HOA would have to maintain them rather than the city. Again, this is another way that the city could save money on long-term maintenance. Oh, I'm sorry. Let me get a second.”
Board of Commissioners · Aug 10, 2026

“So, yeah. So that... to help alleviate long-term maintenance costs on the city. I would like these to be private streets and sidewalks.”

“All right. I have, let's see, you answered my question about the curved road. On page three of the plan, it doesn't appear the, unless that's something else, it's hard to tell. Well, on this one, it looks like. The sidewalk completely goes around both cul-de-sacs. OK. All right. Because on one sheet I had, it didn't look like it. What is the plan for the stormwater runoff? I do see a detention. Two detention ponds in here. Some plans you see a stormwater runoff plan. I don't know. What is the plan? And the reason I'm asking, so that it doesn't run off into the neighbor's property.”

“Yeah, okay. So when I first came on the BOC, we were dealing with some projects that had been approved from years before that were still under construction, and we're dealing with stormwater runoff on the back end. So anytime we can fix these problems on the front end, I would like to do it. So if we can make every effort to fix these so that it won't happen. I do see two ponds, okay. On the I see a private fence is to be added on the west end, the west side of the cemetery. It looks like currently there's a barbed wire fence with the little X's there on the line. I assume that means barbed…”

“Yes. Right here and right here is where the privacy fence is going, those two lines. Yes. And then on this end is where the landscaping boarder picked up.”

“Yeah, I didn't see any indication about a privacy fence there.”

“Nothing? Yeah. All right. So just curious why this privacy fence wouldn't continue around to meet the landscaping buffer?”

“Okay. And I noticed that according to Google, all that is wooded back there. And I know that there's a, tree vegetation survey too, which is good. Is there anything that states that all of those trees shall remain?”

“So is the cemetery, because I can't really see on these maps, is the cemetery within the wooded area?”

“Okay. All right, well, I'm glad there's a tree vegetation survey, so let's see. Okay, well, that's all I had.”
