11:05Speaker 1

Yeah, it's 36.

11:25Speaker 10

Hang on. That would be under the public comment. Because he signed up under item 36.

11:31Speaker 1

Do we move that? Call the meeting to order.

11:53 – 12:18Speaker 10

We have a roll call here with a quorum. And with that, we are going to make one slight change for just a couple of minutes here. We're going to move public comment period down item number four, down below item number six for a couple of minutes. It will be a couple of minutes delayed, but it won't take long. And with that, I will turn it over to staff for announcements. All right.

12:19 – 13:10Speaker 2

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Items number 33 and 38 are on your consent agenda for deferral. In front of you, you do have a revised report for item 26, the Grove section 16, the road strainage and erosion control bond, and that was we changed it to release the bond. that also has your revised consent agenda does reflect that release on item 26. There's a revised item 35 on your desk as well, noting the deed for the additional five acres, but strip of land has been recorded. We'll go over that in the presentation. And then finally, we do have a request for a non-agenda item, Stone Ridge Subdivision Large Lot Easement. final plat, this was approved in January and the approval expired because it wasn't recorded within 90 days. You will need to take action on that to place it onto the agenda. That's all we have, Mr. Chairman.

13:12Speaker 10

Do we need to take that up as item 42 first?

13:15Speaker 2

Yes, you need to vote on it to put it onto the agenda, yes.

13:17 – 13:36Speaker 10

Okay. So do I have a motion to add Stone Ridge subdivision large light easement subdivision to the agenda? Second. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. All those opposed, we'll add it to it. And with that, we'll go consideration of the minutes. Were there any comments?

13:38Speaker 9

Motion to approve. Second.

13:40 – 13:52Speaker 10

We'll have a motion and a second. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. All those opposed? Motion passes. Consideration of consent agenda. I'm going to pass this over to Don Prohan. I'm going to abstain from this.

13:54 – 14:26Speaker 7

The consent agenda, as all the commissions had a chance to look at the new one, any of the commissions would like to take any of them separately or we'll take it as a whole? Seeing none, we'll take it as a whole. All in motion to approve the consent agenda? Motion. Have a second? Second. Motion made in second. All in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you.

14:26 – 14:45Speaker 10

With that, we will roll back up to the public comment period. And we did have one person sign up for the general public comment period. And you will get three minutes to state your case on this. And it's Mr. Chris Davis.

14:49 – 16:23Speaker 11

Thank you all very much for allowing me to speak. I'm here on behalf of Terra Vista Homeowners Association, who you all may be familiar with some of the issues going on at that development. Before you tonight is the potential reduction in bond of that for the developer, and I'm here unfortunately to say that it's too early to do that. As proof and being aware of my time here, I'll say that as recently as June 5th, 2026, My office received a letter from Council for the developer in which they admitted that there were many things that were anticipated to begin. For instance, the wastewater access road is anticipated to begin, but there was an accident where a truck and so it has yet to begin the cleanup of ponds. This work is fading in phase one. It has yet not been done. We have slope areas that may have been done, but there are questions regarding that slope grading. And with the rain we've been having, I would argue this is too soon to tell if that slope has been graded effectively. Along those lines, I see other issues regarding the Development, excuse me, let me find my notes here, and we have rebuilding and completing of the water quality swale. That's anticipated to begin this month. Sediment basin, there was an issue with trees planted, and as it begins to dry out, they will begin to work on those projects. And so, ladies and gentlemen, what I'm here to discuss is that this bond being lowered because some work has been done, what really has been done is staging has been done, but not successful completion of the project such that a lowering of the bond is appropriate at this time. And that is my statement. I thank you all very much for listening to me.

16:24 – 16:50Speaker 10

Thank you. Okay. All right. Thank you for that. And moving on to presentation of agenda items. And we'll start with the Terra Vista update on item number 31.

16:59 – 18:14Speaker 4

Brent Thaney with Truland Consulting representing Jones Company. With regard to the wastewater road, the grading work has been completed on that and now we're waiting for the paver to pave it, which should happen either next week or the following week. um detention pond five it was determined to put a concrete flume down there that's been contracted with the on-site contractor and he's been given notice to proceed that's most of the items in phase two phase one he's begun working on He's worked and graded out the area behind the mail kiosk. That work's been completed. The pond across from the mail kiosk, the back slope of that pond needed some work. That's been completed. And he's moved on to the pond on Eagle Trail. Then he'll move to the front pond and then the major swell coming out front on his way out. So... Happy to answer any other questions that are out there. The core report's been submitted to the county a couple weeks ago, I think three weeks ago, so for phase one.

18:16Speaker 10

Any questions from planning commissioners?

18:22 – 18:59Speaker 18

I guess a couple of main ones. talked about kind of approaching this systematically. This has been on the agenda a long time. I know you'd like to see it off. I know we'd like to see it off. I think everybody would like to see it completed and move on. I guess somewhere we fell off of here's the deliverable that needs to be executed and here's where we're at on that deliverable. We've just kind of gone to this oral story narrative of what's happening. I mean, all these updates sound great and they sound like great progress. I have no idea. We have no idea what the end looks like.

19:00Speaker 4

So you answer that a little bit. I think the anticipated was into July, August, and I'd say we're should be pretty close to hitting that.

19:10Speaker 18

Are we comfortable? I mean, are we comfortable putting together a schedule of executable items and

19:18Speaker 4

Sure, I can send to engineering an updated schedule that reflects that. I'm happy to do that.

19:25Speaker 18

I know this is unconventional, but it would be wonderful if we could get this finished off the book.

19:36Speaker 10

Michael, would you like?

19:38 – 20:39Speaker 3

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do have a schedule that he gave us, I think, back in April. And for the most part, they're knocking some items off of it. I would say we probably do need to update it. There's a few things that haven't met the deadlines and some things that have. They are making progress. And I mean that we've got the geotech, the – Like he mentioned, the wastewater road still needs to be paved. Pond 5 needs some work, and he's talking that he's got something lined up for that. Pond 1, or excuse me, Phase 1, I was out there today, and they're making progress. And it's looking pretty good. So we have a timeline. I think it probably would be good maybe to update that and get a little more current. But, you know, they're at least going and blowing out there. Thank you.

20:40Speaker 6

Does staff know what percentage of the items on those lists have been completed 100%?

20:48 – 21:38Speaker 3

That's a good question and I don't, right now I do have about 15 open in phase one and 15 open issues in phase two. Now I'll tell you, they're close to closing a few of those out. I could see it realistically being closer to maybe 10 open issues on each one. It's just there's a lot of overlap and there's a lot of details and things that haven't been closed completely. Like the ponds, they've made progress on two of the ponds. To get credit, maybe I separated those. We could probably knock off a couple ponds or at least a pond in the area around upon another pond. So I would say probably estimate about 10 open issues each for phase one and two.

21:40 – 21:52Speaker 10

So yeah, I think next month update the schedule was, was update the checklist and, and, uh, where we are on what's closed out. And if we could be provided that and it'd be great.

21:53Speaker 7

Any other questions by August? By August meeting or by September's meeting, you should have everything complete. Should, yes. Which one?

22:04Speaker 4

Well, depending on the rain, but I would hope August.

22:07Speaker 7

August, okay. Yeah, I hope it starts drying out a little bit. Okay, thank you. Yep.

22:13Speaker 10

Anything else? All right. Thank you.

22:19 – 22:33Speaker 10

Moving on to item 32, preliminary plat, review for Dodd family revocable living trust subdivision containing one lot. on 32.12 acres located off Teleferno Road in the 5th Voting District. Staff?

22:33 – 23:31Speaker 12

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This project is located off Telefero Road, as you can see in red. The development total is 32.12 acres. Consists of one lot, as you can see in the gray-blue color on the two maps. There is a shared 50-foot access easement and existing driveway that varies from just over 10 feet to more than 16 feet in width, as you can see in the yellow. Section 3.02 of the subdivision regulations require the shared drive to be at least 16 feet in width and the applicant is requesting a variance so as not to have to widen the portions of the drive that are not 16 feet wide. Water will be provided by the Nolensville College Grove Utility District. Wastewater will be handled via individual on-site septic systems. So long as a variance is granted, staff recommends approval with standard conditions outlined in the staff report.

23:37Speaker 10

Thank you. Are there any questions for staff on item 32? I'd like to know why it can't meet the 16 feet.

23:46Speaker 12

They didn't want to, it's an existing driveway and they did not want to have to widen it beyond how it's existing.

23:56Speaker 7

But is there a right-of-way problem or what is the problem why they don't want to do it?

24:01Speaker 12

I think it's just a monetary. Is the applicant here? Okay. If you can speak to that.

24:12Speaker 10

If you don't mind, step up where everybody can hear you, please, and tell us your name if you don't mind.

24:18 – 25:45Speaker 8

My name is Mike Dodd. The part that's not 16 feet is a concrete driveway. There's not a good way to extend it to 16 feet without... If we put gravel there, it's going to look horrible. We'll just let it grow up in grass probably anyway, so it won't look so bad. We'll have to get in there with an excavator. We'll have to go down through there, dig it out, put gravel in. The fire department said it was perfectly good access, that it did not need to be widened. We got a letter from them. I think you've got it, and I've got it here if you need to see it. It's just, it's going to be, and this house is, these houses have been there 30 years. All we were out to do was get a backup septic field because some way when our septic fields got put in and approved in 1994, they used the backup septic field part of them for the septic field. So there wasn't enough there. So that's what happened. All we're really doing is adding a little bit of property to the existing 16 acres. My mother died, and we've just been trying to split it up and trying to do it without it costing more money than it's worth is what we're trying to do. Thank you. I've got pictures, too, if you'd like to see pictures of the driveway.

25:46Speaker 7

No, that's fine.

25:47Speaker 7

That's fine.

25:48 – 26:40Speaker 10

Thank you. Thank you. Excuse me. And Lincoln, you fire chief has said that's acceptable? Yes. Yeah, we received that from them. Okay, good deal. Any other questions? Do I have a motion? I have a motion and a second for approval. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed? Motion passes. Items 33 and 34 were on consent agenda, so we'll move to items 35, preliminary plat review for Creek Bend Manor, large lot easement subdivision, aka 8828 Horton Highway, containing five lots on 28.01 acres located off Horton Highway in the second voting district.

26:40 – 27:44Speaker 12

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As a reminder, we do have a revised staff report in front of you. This project is located off Horton Highway, as you can see in red. The development totals 28.01 acres and consists of five lots with a shared access easement. You can see the easement in yellow. Water service will be provided by individual on-site well and septic service will be an individual on-site septic systems. Variance is needed for the floodplain development permit to allow for construction of a bridge crossing the floodplain and staff is in support of this variance. At the May meeting there was a need for a variance to allow the 50-foot access easement to be located on the property line. The applicant has purchased a 5-foot strip of land from the adjoining parcel to the north. The deed for the 5-foot strip has been recorded and therefore a variance is no longer required. And so long as a floodplain variance is granted, staff recommends approval with the standard conditions outlined in the staff report.

27:47Speaker 10

Thank you. Any questions on item 35?

27:50Speaker 9

Motion to approve for staff.

27:55 – 28:28Speaker 10

I have a motion and a second for approval. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed? Motion passes. Moving into the public hearings, item number 36, concept plan review for the Villages of Triune West subdivision, revised, containing 98 lots, single-family lots, 214 townhome lots, and 10 non-residential lots on 157.79 acres, located off of Wharton Highway in the 5th Voting District. Staff?

28:29 – 32:47Speaker 2

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We're going to zoom into the property here that's located on Fortin Highway and Murfreesboro Road. You can see it there. All right, this is located off of Old Murfreesboro, or excuse me, this should be Murfreesboro Road and Horton Highway, not Old Murfreesboro Road. The development total is 157.79 acres. This was last revised in March 2025 for 98 single-family lots and 214 townhome lots. This revision adds 10 non-residential lots. I'll get it out. You can see those there in blue. The non-residential lots were included in the original traffic study, and our traffic engineer has reviewed that and recommended approval. All of the conditions are outlined in your staff report. TDOT has given preliminary approval for the required road improvement and the intersection improvements. The roads inside the development will be a combination of public and private. 50% of the site will remain in open space. All of the approved Greenway trails did not change and they are located on the concept plan presented to you. Water is provided by Nolensville College Grove Utility District and sewer service is handled by the Triune Sewer Facility. There are 14 conceptual buildings are proposed on the 10 non-residential lots. You'll see the non-residential lots come up in the blue. The buildings are superimposed on there. The applicant indicates the uses will include a grocery store, a hotel, and a variety of retail and personnel service shops. Submission of a major site plan and an addendum to the traffic study will be required in conjunction with site plan approval. And all of these site plans will be reviewed by the Planning Commission. And the commercial site plan and the architectural renderings included in your packet were provided for illustrative purposes only and have not been reviewed for compliance to the county regulations. So we're going to take just a second. We're going to go over the Triune Special Area Plan real quick. This plan was adopted in November of 2018. There were six public open houses and public involvement meetings held over two years. All of the properties that you just looked at are within the village and they are zoned Triune Character Area 2, 3, and 4. Now the plan envisioned non-residential development around the Murfreesboro Road and Horton Highway intersection as well as the 840 interchange. And the non-residential development would provide an expanded array of community scale businesses and services. We'll go through real quick. So this is the TCA2 character area. It's outlined in the red on the screen. Where the circle is is the approximate location of the properties. And so the TCA2 district was intended to be a walkable area comprised of community scale retail, restaurants, and services. The photographs that you see on the screen were from the plan. The TCA3 district, you'll see the outline in yellow, or excuse me, red, the yellow, outlined in red. I'll get it out. And where the circle is, again, that's the approximate location of the properties. And this district was intended to be a mixed-use district containing retail, office, and other commercial uses. Then, finally, the pink outlined in red onto the north of 840 where the circle is, again, that's the location of the property. This district was intended for single-family and multi-family residential uses. I'm just going to flip through the renderings that the applicant provided to us. There were three. We did include these in your packets. These are the renderings they provided for what they anticipate the west side to look like. Now, the revised concept plan before you does comply with the intentions of the triune special area plan, as I just mentioned. And finally, staff does recommend approval of this revised concept plan with all of the conditions outlined in the staff report.

32:52 – 33:10Speaker 10

Thank you. So we'll first open the public hearing. There were no sign-ups for that public hearing, so we will... We will open and close that public hearing at this point, and I will open it up for discussion.

33:10Speaker 5

Sorry, I was a minute late for signing up. Is there any possible way to?

33:20Speaker 10

It's up to you. It's always up to me. All right, we'll let you have that. Three minutes. State your name please.

33:31 – 34:47Speaker 5

Yes. Uh, Brandon Warren trying resident, uh, born and raised Williamson County. This won't take three minutes. I just want to emphasize, um, the special character plan was passed a few years ago and uh, with community input, And this development we're talking about tonight is pretty important to the future of Triune because this is going to set the course of what this community is going to look and feel like for the rest of Triune's history. So in that plan, the... purpose of it was to retain the rural character. Um, and you've seen some of the concept pictures within that plan of stately pretty brick exteriors, lots of, uh, fully grown trees. What we're getting instead is a soulless and sterile, uh, strip mall that could be anywhere else in America. So I just want to emphasize from the local community, um, how important that plan was in order to keep and retain the character of triune and keep that in mind when you're considering future proposals like this tonight and many others that will come before you as triune starts to take shape. Thank you. Thank you.

34:50 – 35:01Speaker 10

So we'll close the public hearing at this point. And, um, uh, are there any questions? regarding item 36 from planning commission.

35:04 – 35:24Speaker 14

Is it correct that, you know, what we're approving tonight has to do with the uses that will happen in this conceptual layout. But when it comes to architectural standards and things like that, especially for these non-residential lots, that will all come with those site plan packages later in the process.

35:24 – 35:41Speaker 2

So tonight you're approving the layout of the lots and not the uses. But, yes, you are correct. All of the uses that are presented will come to us. We'll have the staff will review it for compliance to the ordinance, and then the site plan will be reviewed by this body when it is submitted for review.

35:42Speaker 10

Okay. Any other questions? We have a motion to have a second.

35:53 – 36:24Speaker 10

We have a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed? Motion passes. Moving on to second public hearing item is item number 37, concept plan review for the villages at Triune Subdivision Revised containing 59 single family lots, 63 townhome lots, and three non-residential lots on 63.78 acres located off of Horton Highway, and Murfreesboro Road in the 5th Voting District. Staff?

36:24 – 38:59Speaker 2

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We'll do an aerial view as we'll zoom into the property once again on Murfreesboro Road, Malachi, and Horton Highway. The property is located off of Horton Highway, Murfreesboro Road, and Malachi Lane. You can see the three of them on the screen in red. The development totaled 63.78 acres. It was approved in March 2025 for 61 single-family lots and 62 townhomes. This revision is to remove two single-family lots and add one multifamily lot and incorporate three non-residential lots. Non-residential lots were included in the original traffic study approved by the county's traffic consultant. TDOT has given preliminary approval for the required roadway and intersection improvements and has the Williamson County Highway Department also given preliminary approval on the required roadway improvements on Malachi Lane. The roads inside the development will be private. 50% of the site will remain as open space. Again, the approved greenway trails did not change and they are shown on the concept plan presented to you. Waters provided by Nolensville College Grove Utility District and sewer service is handled by the Triune Sewer Facility. The three conceptual buildings are shown on the proposed lots. Applicant indicates to use these lots for a variety of retail and personal service shops. Again, submission of a major site plan and an addendum to the traffic study will be required in conjunction with site plan approval. Planning Commission will see those site plans as they come in. And the commercial site plan provided in your packet was for illustrative purposes only and has not been reviewed for compliance to county regulations. Now, again, so I'm not going to repeat this, but this was part just as in the Triune Special Area that we just did before. I just want to point out that these properties comprised in the villages at Triune East are both zoned. Triune Character Areas 3 and 4. And again, the Triune Character Area 3 was intended to be a mixed-use district containing the retail, office, and other commercial uses. And then TCA 4 was intended for the single-family and multi-family residential use. The revised concept plan before you does comply with the intent of the Triune Special Area Plan, and staff recommends approval of this revised concept plan with all of the conditions outlined in your staff report.

39:03 – 39:21Speaker 10

Thank you. With this being a public hearing, we'll open the public hearing up now. And there were no sign-ups, correct? That's correct. For that. And so we will close that public hearing at this point and move to questions from planning commissioners.

39:24Speaker 9

Motion to approve per statute.

39:27 – 39:57Speaker 10

Do I have a second? We have a motion and a second. For approval, all those in favor say aye. All those opposed, motion passes. Moving on, preliminary plat, item 38 was on the consent agenda. Moving to final plats, item 39, final plat review for Hyde Park Estate subdivision containing 16 lots on 109.69 acres located off of Hyde Road in the second voting district. Staff?

39:58 – 40:41Speaker 17

It would be 17.67 acres of open space shown in the light green. Roads would be private and gated. There you see the roads in yellow. The water is provided by the Nolensville College Grove Utility District. The wastewater will be handled by the Star Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility, and the final plat is consistent with the preliminary plat.

41:05Speaker 17

Yes, that is open space at the end of the cul-de-sac.

41:12 – 41:34Speaker 10

The final plat will be changing the lot's access from an easement known as Log Valley Trail, which I pointed out a minute ago is in red, to an easement known as Drury Creek Trail, which is shown in yellow. Water will be provided by an individual on-site well. Wastewater will be handled via individual on-site septic system. And staff recommends approval with the standard conditions outlined in the staff report.

We have a motion and a second. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. All those opposed? Motion passes. Hang tight one second. And we're good. So Commissioner Clifford has requested a minute.

45:52Speaker 9

Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion to reconsider the consent agenda to pull off item number 25 and consider that separate from the consent agenda. Thank you.

46:02Speaker 10

And so we need to have a motion to do that.

46:05 – 46:21Speaker 16

You need a motion to reconsider the consent agenda and you'll have to have a second and vote on that. And then someone will have to request that that comes off and then you will need to take action on the consent agenda without that item. and then take action on that item.

46:21Speaker 9

Perfect. If I could provide some reasoning as to why. Yes, sir.

46:26Speaker 10

We're good. Okay.

46:28 – 47:04Speaker 9

Well, go ahead. Sorry. If we've got to get votes, I guess I'll explain. Number 25 is the Terra Vista. I have concern. I didn't realize when we were approving the consent agenda on this one. I have concern of reducing the motivation right now to get things done. We're a few months away. I'm going down to a million dollars from 16 or 1.6. Uh, I like the idea of keeping the motivation there. They need to get it wrapped up. We've been babysitting this thing for too long and I see no need to reduce the motivation to get it done. So I would suggest that we pull this off the consent agenda, take it up separately. And then I would advocate that we keep the bond at the amount asset at 1.6 million.

47:05 – 47:36Speaker 10

Thank you. So do we have a motion to reconsider the consent agenda? Motion to reconsider the consent agenda. Thank you. Do we have a second? We have a motion and a second. All those in favor of reconsidering the consent agenda say aye. Aye. All those opposed? Motion passes. So... First off, we've got to take the consent agenda up, and I need to recuse myself from that. So, Mr. Crohan, take it up without item number 25, please.

47:36 – 48:06Speaker 7

We'll consider the consent agenda without item number 25. We have a motion to accept it as written other than item 25. Motion. Second. We have a second. Second. All in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you. Item number 25, Terra Vista.

48:08 – 48:34Speaker 10

Yes, thank you. Item 25, performance bond for roads, drainage, and erosion control. Recommendation, staff visited the site and noted that some improvements have been completed. Staff recommends that the performance bond be reduced to the amount of $1 million for a period of one year. Thank you. Sorry, Mr. Crowley, and I'll let you finish this item.

48:36 – 48:47Speaker 7

Okay, we have a motion. At this time, does anybody want to take Terra Vista and not reduce the performance bond at this time?

48:48 – 49:02Speaker 16

So, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Vice Chairman, the motion would be to extend the bond for one year at the current amount of $1.6 million if you don't want to reduce it as staff has recommended.

49:02 – 49:25Speaker 9

Okay. Do we have a motion to that effect? I'll make that motion with the comment also that I do appreciate staff's effort to do this and reduce the bond. I just think it's been such a drain on this commission and the motivation I think needs to remain. So thanks staff for reviewing it. Thank you for your recommendation. Um, but I would suggest that we deny the motion to reduce the bond amount. That's my motion.

49:26Speaker 7

The motion is denied. Do we have a second on that motion?

49:30Speaker 16

So the motion is to extend it for one year at the remaining amount of $1.6 million rather than reducing it.

49:38Speaker 9

Correct. That's my motion.

49:54Speaker 16

It's the applicant, so Mr. Chairman, it's up to you if you want to allow that.

50:01 – 52:07Speaker 13

Thank you very much and good evening. My name is Emily Guthrie from Tunedrican and White, counsel for the Jones Company, the applicant here. And I want to appreciate all the discussion here. I know that you've heard from Mr. Thaney earlier today about the updates on the work being completed. He has been here every month for the past several months this year providing updates and there's fully, as you can see from the updates provided, there has been a substantial amount of work completed. I realize this has taken some time. I think that we are all very much ready to get the matters resolved so everyone can get get the issue settled. However, in looking at what's being asked here, this is not a request to remove the performance bond. It's not even moving it to maintenance. It's simply reducing the amount from $1.6 million to $1 million. And from the scope of work that has been completed in this Phase 2, per staff's recommendations, we believe that it's completely reasonable and makes sense the dollar amount based upon the work that has been completed. And Mr. Thaney, as well, is still here and can provide, you know, any maybe more specific updates if needed, if there are any items that are – that I suppose are – specifically in question here. I have concerns that I don't want this to be held up because of issues that might not even be part of this specific bond. So we would respectfully ask that you reduce the bond amount to $1 million from 1.6. Many of the issues that were brought up we believe would likely fall under a maintenance bond later on. That hasn't even occurred yet. don't question that the performance bond should remain in place just at a lower value, at a lower amount to reflect the work that was completed. But if there are any specific questions on the work that has been completed for this specific bond, I know that even if I am not the best person to answer, Mr. Thaney is available and we would just be glad to have that discussion with you.

52:08Speaker 10

Thank you. Thank you. Any, well, sorry, Mr. Crohan, you haven't.

52:14 – 52:41Speaker 7

Oh, yeah, motion. was to deny the reduction at this time. And I think where the commission is coming from at this time would be this has moved so slow that by not reducing it, we can speed this process up at the next meeting. If the process is going better, we can reduce it. But at this meeting, they don't feel enough has been done to reduce it. Is that your feeling, sir?

52:42 – 53:09Speaker 9

Yeah, I understand council's position that it's reasonable to make this request. I think what's unreasonable is the amount of time this commission's had to spend on this. It's unreasonable the amount of emails we get from homeowners about this. We have not had this situation for this planning commission since I've been on it. And I see no reason to reduce the bond and eliminate any motivation to get this done. We need every bit of motivation to get this done and wrapped up. I understand why you think it needs to be done, but we have dealt with this for a long time.

53:09 – 54:14Speaker 13

Right. I understand. I know that for the residents of the subdivision, that's their home. Of course, they're completely rightfully invested in this, but I do want to say my client is as well. I do hope that we've shown over the past few months with the work completed here recently and over the past few months, the updates provided, Mr. Thaney is going to provide a new slightly updated timeline based on some of the issues that happened that might have slightly put things off by a week or two that involved a crash with the contractor's low-boy truck, some awful weather we've had lately, but we really do believe that the work has been completed to sufficiently warrant this reduction. Staff has recommended it, and we are still quite completely incentivized to get this completed, and I think that The, um, the applicant's actions have shown this and we're ready to get this resolved and still on track for end of July, early August as previously stated.

54:16 – 54:55Speaker 15

Thank you. I have a comment. I agree with Brian a few minutes ago when they were talking about the issues and there's 15 in section one and there's 15 in section two. I mean, these are people's homes. These are people's lives that we're talking about and you know, they should be able to go home and enjoy their community and And to the gentleman that spoke earlier, I mean, they're not. We get lots of emails. I understand your position, but I agree with Brian that I think the motivation to get these 30 items completed needs to happen sooner than later, and that's great that a work's been done the last few months. What about for the last year or two? I mean, it needs to just be done and move on to benefit the homeowners.

54:56 – 55:28Speaker 13

Yes, and we fully are committed to getting this work done. I do appreciate your statement there as well. And I do just want to reiterate, though, if there are specific items that we're looking at for the Section 2 RDE bond that – the Commission thinks do not warrant a reduction, we would be happy to address those, but we do have concerns about other issues that aren't included in the specific bond just being lumped in here.

55:30Speaker 9

MR. Mr. Vice Chair, I'll renew my motion.

55:33Speaker 7

CHAIRMAN BRYANT L. Okay. We have the motion to deny reduction from $1.6 million to $1 million. Do we have a second on that motion?

55:45Speaker 7

We have a second on that motion. All in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Thank you.

55:52Speaker 10

Thank you. We have a motion for adjournment? Motion. So moved. Thank you.
