SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLIC COMMENTS Senator Adam Lowe addressed the Council by stating it is often a privilege of those who serve in the Legislature to celebrate moments of honor. Some honors come by what they’ve done for their community, but there’s a very specific honor that we have to both recognize the contribution that someone makes to a community and has made to us individually. He looks at it as a marriage that triangulates where you can see someone's integrity both as they interact with others and their personal interaction with you. This is one of the first presentations he’s been able to do, so it's a very special moment. He then asked Councilman Dale Hughes to join him. Senator Lowe then introduced Councilman Hughes’ family, wife Brenda and son Ritchie, along with the rest of the family to celebrate this moment. He and Governor Bill Lee are honored to make you a Tennessee Colonel. Your recognition both in education and your many years of service at Bradley Central High School and as a Bradley Bear as a principal and your representation of what good business is in a community having created jobs and invested in the Cleveland economy. You’re now ending term in public service here in Cleveland, TN and I can only say that I'm honored to have been in office at the moment where I could have been one that made this request, but we have a little something for you. On behalf of myself, the Tennessee Delegation and Governor Bill Lee, Congratulations Colonel Hughes. Councilman Hughes thanked Senator Lowe and for his representation you give to the whole region. This is a terrific honor. He has enjoyed his service to the community, to the high school and to the college. It is a great honor to receive this today from our Senator. HEARING PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Brooks stated today’s meeting is being held as a public hearing to hear public comments concerning a change in the ownership interest of members for Riverstone Wine, Spirits and Brew located at 157 Ocoee Crossing NW. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the request. Jack Sheehan stated he is seeking approval to the change in the members of the LLC. Himself and his uncle, James Sheehan are seeking to purchase membership p. 800 REGULAR SESSION JULY 22, 2024 PAGE -800- MINUTE BOOK 31 in the LLC, which his father currently ownes.

Robert Varnell stated this request is to utilize the property for office space. It was zoned industrial, and we felt it more appropriate use was general commercial. Overall, it meets the lot requirements. Staff recommends, and the Planning Commission approved 7-0. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the request. No one spoke.

Robert Varnell stated yes, vehicle sales are currently not an allowable use in general commercial zoning. We do have exiting businesses in GC that are auto sales. For them to update their license with the State, we need to be able to tell them they can legally do it. So, we want to put forth a process where we could and keep these businesses as opposed to the opposite. Planning Commission approved 7-0. Mayor Brooks Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the request. No one spoke. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the request. No one spoke.

Robert Varnell stated yes, to be clear this property has a flag stem out of Robin Hood Drive and the property owner also owns the house and the adjacent property that is on Robin Hood Drive. The flag lot will be absorbed within the other lot and there will be no access for any traffic from this lot to Robin Hood Drive once it develops. The applicant plans to continue owning the home and is understanding of his neighbors. One question was, will commercial traffic be dumped onto their street. The answer is no. We will have road frontage through the development of the site that will make the area, behind Harbor Freight and McAlister’s, all more connected and enhance that area even better. The Planning Commission approved 7-0. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the request. No one spoke.

Robert Varnell stated, as you are aware it was requested that the Planning Commission take p. 801 REGULAR SESSION JULY 22, 2024 PAGE -801- MINUTE BOOK 31 another look at this to possibly develop a PUD document. The Planning Commission added their thoughts and made it better and there are a few items the applicant will work out together with staff regarding the number and placement of some trees and how it will work with existing infrastructure around it. Councilman Webb asked about the old modular office building at the southeast corner of the property and if it will remain. Mr. Varnell stated no, there is an access point at that corner, which gives us the possibility to make it a safer area. The Planning Commission approved 6-1. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the request. Mr. Mark Ball, Director of Real Estate for Sunbelt Rentals, stated Sunbelt Rentals is a publicly traded company that trades on the London Stock Exchange called the Ashtead Group Sunbelt. The North American Sunbelt has 1,350 locations with 30 branches in Tennessee. The site is 3.37 acres. The building size is 10,656 square feet. The proposal is to change the current zoning central business district to a planned unit development zoning that would allow tool rental without such storage. The proposed front elevation of the building, which would be the side of the building that faces Bible St., will be a new storefront entry with glass that will be very inviting with parking there. We've added glass as requested on the overhead door to make it more storefront oriented. The proposed customer base would be small contractors and homeowners. The proposed business hours are 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday and 8:00 AM to noon on Saturdays. The benefits will be employment, local employment tax revenue, both sales tax and property tax, availability of modern tools and equipment to the community, improved image of the of the current property and community engagement. We plan to have 10 full-time employees, which will be an annual salary base of about $827,000. Local state sales tax would be approximately $400,000 per year. County sales tax revenue would be about $150,000 per year and the estimated construction cost is about $1.45 million and rising. We’ve had lots of dialogue with the Planning Commission and made changes to the site plan since the last time you've seen it. We've added landscaping buffers up both sides of Bates and Bible, and along the front of Inman Street. Additionally, we agreed to a six-foot aluminum fence across the front and up 75 feet on both sides of the property. Currently, the building has one office and a restroom. We plan to add about 2,200 square feet of office and showroom on the Bible end of the property and of course we'll be remodeling the rest of the building to create the service facilities that we need. He then showed recent project photos, before and after, interior and exterior renovations, equipment and supplies. We keep yards fairly neat and organized, but we think generally we're not going to create any additional environmental impacts to the property. Lastly, the PUD document references storage was going to be limited to the back third of the property, but we need the whole property so to be clear our expectation is to use the whole property. We are willing to limit the area in front of the building to a 20-foot height restriction. So, we think we'll be a good neighbor and we're requesting your support on this rezoning request. Councilman Estes stated he his hopefully and the aesthetics will be good. Mr. Varnell stated yes, and the work they’ve already invested it will more than exceed any concerns we’d have. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the request. No one spoke. Mayor Brooks declared the public hearing to be closed. Mayor Brooks announced we needed a councilmember to fill the vacancy of Councilman Hughes on the Shade Tree Board. Councilman Cassada volunteered to serve. Mayor Brooks then stated to the Shade Tree Board for 2-year terms to expire August 2026 will be Councilman Cassada, Matt Coleman, Milan Blake, Ray Garner, Sr., and Tim Henderson. Councilman Hughes moved to approve the appointment and reappointments to the Shade Tree Board. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Johnson; and upon roll call, unanimously passed. CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Brooks stated the Consent Agenda was presented during the Work Session.
