“Yes, sir. So I got your color palette and everything back here, and then you're doing texture on top of it. is the are you using the smooth form tilt up then is the plan that is my understanding i mean from an architectural standpoint there may be some stamping for texture uh but i do believe it's smooth form okay so the text the texture would be applied during the application of the paint paint or is it some kind of a stucco or drive it or i guess you know you can put the color out there what is being applied we just had a few of these commercial buildings over there in the area that that i…”

“Correct. Okay. Yeah, and just curiosity out of myself, how, you know, is it, We're just going to be a guy with a spray gun and spraying just direct Sherwin-Williams or Sherwin-Williams paint colors. So Sherwin-Williams paint colors to it. Or is he actually going to have a, you know, you actually got textured guns or materials or just adding that color to something out there. a different type of spray on material that would give it that kind of finish like the old school stucco you know that's sprayed on as well but then you put whatever color that you want to it red green or purple or…”

“don't think they're not really related to what we're talking about okay okay understood see one of the things that I've had and then my particular issues I mean you can see it it's not as evident as I thought it was gonna be but it is the PMDP i mean maybe it's it's as easy as saying your fndp building locations have to be the same at fmdp well right now it says approximate locations but exact i mean yeah because we can change that will make a huge difference just with those list requirements yeah it's funny how we don't see any of of this uh pmdp to fmdp when it comes to a laid out…”

“know that is a perfect question for a county commissioner to answer and that's kind of that's right the central pike interchange you know i can see the the density staying north and or staying south of 40 and whatnot uh but then as central pike moves up through there And we get into some of our traditional properties, some of our older age properties and larger lots. I mean, you know, I wouldn't have imagined that you're going to go down 40 out of Nashville and say Mount Juliet makes three exits. Never in my lifetime I would have ever imagined that one. i sure don't want somebody's impression…”

“Yeah, one of the things that's coming to mind that kind of we don't think that things will happen out there. One of them, and you look at it today, you're like, man, why didn't we make this thing happen? The connection right there at now Volunteer Bank used to be F&M Bank. Everybody's like, oh, West Willis Utility ain't going to buy that property. It ain't going to be a boneyard or a scrapyard. an awesome opportunity to put our apartments right there at that location. And it is a bone in a scrap yard. We had a good traffic design. We had a good road design to come through there. We lost an…”

“we can do our due diligence and you can do your due diligence but we're not going to stop them from coming to that podium and it's just a matter of what we do when that when that happens yeah i agree i get a lot of feedback from people you know you just do this or you just prove that this is you know you got property owners have rights and um we try to make a consideration towards that what would be um So her two things, let's cover first one first. So what John said there. So staff is looking at a potential regulation change. right now and the regulation change would be kind of focused…”

“And put better teeth into what transition from PMDP to FMDP. Would it include language kind of particularly towards this multi-use and i.e. the commercial? Because as we've stated here, we feel like the commercial is the worm on the back of a big hook. and that the commercial may or may not, as I feel like did that plan tonight. Unfortunately, I was in a position where I had to recommend it for approval, but their commercial looked like they just threw it up there and really who cares?”

“you could add it to the code but it seems to work just having it as part of the PUD but they do have to submit a phasing plan and more scrutiny your phasing plan make sure the commercials in the saving time phase one but they could correct me if i'm wrong like the one that we approved tonight um they could come in and just do the residential could they not there is no requirement for them to do that commercial portion”

“Yeah. Yeah. I mean, personally, if I'm developing, I wouldn't do it. I mean, finding good tenants right now are a pretty challenging thing in that world. But finding people to buy apartment complexes are pretty easy in this world right now. and so can we put you know just a requirement commercial must be completed in phase one of these multi and and i think that that potentially solves a lot of problems if you and you don't need that to put triggers on ceos you just say hey commercial has to be done in your first phase not be thinking about and that is when they come in and build the…”

“Or just say it. Just say, I just want to build apartments only. Hell, I'd rather you do that, you know, than come in with one thing. Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean – I would have rather given that complex tonight a variance on parking because I think that the parking and the roadways just lacked thought and creativity and proper design.”

“And also McFarland is one, I know they'll build their commercial. Their commercial will thrive on theirs. Oh, yeah. My issue with that one was the apartments just didn't look complimentary.”

“But then you take this one that we had to prove tonight. I mean, you've got some guts if you develop that commercial portion. And, and quite frankly, I mean, so we really don't have anything that would require them to build the commercial portion of that.”

“trigger should have been a put on them right when it was coming when it came in and that's what i'm saying that i don't want it to be something that we have to bring in memory to say hey let's make sure we put it on let's just put it in the regs and throw it out there and say that you have to do the commercial but we could have that on preliminary to have say it could be for example triggers it could be and then it would be addressed every time it would you see”

“so that is what would be coming so that's item one that's something that staff is going to work on and bring back forward to us and that would end up being a recommendation item back to the boc for zoning regulation amendment yes okay so is it the desire of the city for us not to form a subcommittee and not look at the land use plan”

“OK. Fair enough. so we we brought that before the planning and we voted on that from the planning standpoint as a discussion item to this bot so i'll turn it back over and say what would the will of this body be to defer that for 60 days is is that acceptable 90 days what are a little bit more than that 90 days Just looking at, yeah, that'll give you a time to allow you guys to come to us.”

“there are good examples and yes yeah and i think that i mean you know you mentioned that on land use plan i'm not against departments either because we do need the density and we need the the housing options and provided here and i agree with commissioner giles that we there's you know i wasn't necessarily in favor of the one up on donovan road when it came in but appears to work it's we're getting the traffic out of there we put some road improvements on donovan but there's times where it's a question but You know, it's not what I assumed or thought it was going to be.
