Um, item number 30 has been withdrawn from the agenda. Items number 25, 27, 28, and 29 are on your consent agenda for deferral. And one additional item, we do have a request for a non-aggenda item for the High Park Hill Amenity Center. So that was deferred from your agenda last month and it was inadvertently left off of this month's agenda. We do have a report on your desk for you. They are requesting deferral to the to the July meeting and if you choose to accept it, we'll need to have a vote on it prior uh right after the announcements. Mr. Chairman, that's all that I have. Thank you. Okay. Well, first of all, this item, it's a site plan for Highland Hill uh Amenity Center. Do we have a motion to put that on our agenda at item 35 on our agenda tonight? I'll make a motion. Have a motion. Do we have a second? Second. All in favor signify by saying I. Oppos. Motion carries. Thank you. Well, now we'll have the public comments

for anyone that has signed up. We have two people who have signed up for it. Uh you'll have three minutes to state your reason for being here and tell us what you uh would like us to know. And the first one on here would be Connor Valentine. Would you please come up to the podium, give your name, address? Uh Connor Valentine, 6920 Owendale Lane, College Grove 37046. And um was that the only two questions or sorry name, address, and was that it? That's it. Okay. For now, right? No, go ahead. Tell us what you're here for. Oh, I'm here because uh there's a sign um to for a meeting tonight at 5:30 that was uh for a proposed development for I think it's called Owen Valley subdivision. And uh I only know what's on an eight-page PDF that um just describes kind of how the wastewater treatment works and and a basic layout. And on page seven, it says that uh there aren't any known wells within 1500 ft. I don't know the significance of 1500 ft. I'm just saying that's what it says. um and that they had, it sounds like they had asked the state for information on if there was any water wells, but I have a water well on my property. It's probably 4 or 500 ft away from from the development. So, I just wanted to get that on record because I didn't know any other way to do that because in reading that I thought, oh, it looks like they they may have missed that. It's on the Tennessee website, too. You can kind of zoom in and see where the wells are. Um and so that was just comment one. And the second thing is um when it does come to uh city water pressure is really low. Um for everybody that I know out there it's

like 25 uh PSI and my understanding is 50 to 60 plus is more like what you normally see. So I have a concern about I don't want to speak for my neighbors but that I I have that concern and I know that concern is bouncing around also like hey what's going to happen with water pressure? or is there a lack of water to service the new 72 homes? Is that going to affect the existing water pressure? Um, which uh seems pretty low. So, that's all I had to say. Thank you very much. Yep. Staff, will we address the well when that comes up? Yes, we will. Okay. Thank you. Next person on here is Joe Novak. I think he's on his way. He asked me to put his name down, but he's a few minutes away. He's not here at this time. That's correct. He's not gotten here yet. [Applause] Uh we will move on and we can have when he comes in, we can change the agenda just a little bit to let him speak if that's okay with everyone. Next item will be the consent agenda. Uh we anyone that wants to pull one pull an item from it uh as individual will otherwise we'll take it as a whole. Uh Commissioner Hatcher has asked to be recused from item 24 and Commissioner McCord from item 34 from the consent agenda. Correct. Correct. Okay, Sean, we have the minutes. We need to do the minutes. Okay. First, well, let let me just finish with the do

And your name and address for the verificale [Applause] lane 37046. I'm a I'm a neighbor. I I had a similar concern. um was just about the nature of of Owen Hill Road there and and I'm I'm not uh sure of the of the water infrastructure and things like that if it is you know up to I know on that road there's only two two developments of any kind usually around 10 homes. So, I'm just curious as to

what that would do to, you know, normal things like water pressure, things like that if it is if it is, you know, suitable and and and stuff like that. That was my only my only question, my only concern for tonight. Thank you. Okay, we'll close the public announcements now and we'll go to the agenda.

You are recusing yourself, right? Yes. Okay. The site land site plan review for Owen Valley treatment facility for Owens Valley subdivision non-traditional wastewater on 33 374.29 acres located off Owens Hill Road in the second voting district. And where we left this was the there was a question on the uh wells. Have you had an answer on that? The uh well is outside the 1500. They they read it as being in within 1500 feet from the development and we designed ours from the site itself and so it is outside the 1500 ft. Okay. Thank you for checking that question. Okay. You have anything else you'd like to add? Uh as far as the water line that that was brought up, we are working with the utility district to get water line upgrades made. Thank you. Any questions from the staff? I mean, sorry, from the committee on this one. I have a question on the on the water pressure topic. What are the county's requirements on that? What does an applicant have to show or do we just lean on the utility provider, the water provider? So the developer when the when the subdivision comes in will provide us with a water uh letter of water availability saying there is adequate pressure for it for this particular development. There will be numerous off-site roadway off-site improvements to the water system that will be

required. So when the concept plan comes back to you next month, we will have a list of all of the required improvements and what they'll need to do for that. We're working with the applicant and the utility district to get all of those water improvements that will be required. Thank you. Any other questions in this item? Mr. Chair, I was wondering if we might just get confirmation from one of the neighbors that that's their understanding too, that their particular well is 1500 ft away from the septic or the treatment site. Okay. I believe it was Mr. Valentine that brought that up. Was it Is that correct? Yeah, I brought it up. I mean, the wording come up to the podium, please. I know I got kind of a loud voice. [Music] Yeah, the the wording on the document is from the development. That's the And and the representative here is saying, well, they're doing it from the retention pond. Um, but to say that it's cleared up for me, I wouldn't say that. I'd like to do my research on what the implications are for that well with the development where it is and what the, you know, what code is being discussed specifically that makes that 1500 foot in play. Is it a county code? Is it a state code? So, I still have questions just because it's written differently than it's been verbally stated in terms of what is the distance from. Is it from the development or from the pond? Because it's written that it's from the development. So, um, my questions aren't necessaril necessarily answered. I don't know that that can be that can happen tonight. I mean, it was clarified that he's talking about the pond, but I'm new to this game and I'm I'm just trying to do my research on what the implications are for the quality of the water from the well. So, Okay. Well, hold on, just

staff. Is it is it in our records? It is from the subdivision or is it from the treatment center? Mr. Mr. Chairman, I I would prefer that you provide staff the opportunity to look at it closely. Yeah. I mean, we've got the book, so if you'll give me a couple of minutes to look. Certainly. Oh, okay. Okay. I mean I mean I don't know the I'm only speaking to the countyy's own zoning provision and it and it just says that in order to protect drinking water aquifers abandoned water supply wells within the treatment site must be identified along with all public water supply wells within 1500 linear feet of any wastewater treatment disposal site. Um and all private water supply wells within 500 linear feet of any wastewater treatment disposal site. from the shallow wells within 500 ft of a wastewater treatment disposal system will require monitoring. So basically you have to have 1500 ft from public water supply wells and 500 although we generally ask them to identify any that are even you know remotely like that from all of the components. So it's whether it's the treatment, the disposal site, the backup disposal site, any kind of holding pond, not a not a drainage, not a storm water pond, but just the if there's a holding pond associated with the treatment disposal system. So our rules require the 500 or 1500 linear feet from the wastewater system components, all of them. And so that's what we would need to confirm is the case here. Okay. I'll need the applicant to come present again, please. [Music] Okay. What's the question again? Okay. The question is, is it 500 ft from all of the treatment center within the property yet? I mean, the the disposal system is within I mean is 500

ft. There's no wells listed within it within the 500t radius that we found of any part of it. Backup area, disposal area, treatment area, Our area is all in that one in that one location down in the in the bottom. We don't have any separate sites. So, it's it's within that within 500 ft of that for, if I heard you right, private wells and 1500 ft for public wells. Mhm. We did not find any within those those ranges. Are there some within 1500 feet, public or private? We didn't find any. I'm not saying that there aren't. Well, I mean, they just told you where theirs was. So, is that one within 1500 ft? I would say it's not, but it I mean [Applause] [Applause] Mr. Chair, if I ask is there a way we can move to approve it with a condition that there's no well within that specified parameter. I mean, yeah, you can and then have it confirmed at the on the concept plan or you can defer it to next month and have them all identified. So either either way would would that be the best way to go? would be the best way to go to defer it until the next meeting. I think probably deferring it that way. I mean, it can be a little more clearly identified on the document and that way you all see it and it can be measured. Um, I mean, the concept plan is not coming back till next month anyway. So, as long as this appears on the agenda before the concept plan, they can still both be heard next month. Okay. So, that'd probably be the cleanest route in my

opinion. Would that be all right with you? Does that present any significant burden? Okay, I'm agreeable. Motion to defer. Second. Motion to defer and the second. All in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. Thank you. Is it deferred? Is there any other business for the commission tonight? No sir. From staff. Do we have a motion to adjourn? Motion. Ajourned.
