CITIZENS' COMMENTS
Clary read the guidelines for Citizens' Comments.
Mary Genung of 1100 Lock 4 Road, Gallatin, does not reside in the city limits of
Hendersonville. She spoke of her concern regarding Resolution 2024-43 and eminent
domain and the government taking property for its own use. She indicated that residents
seemed to be concerned and that other options need to be considered. She stated that
eminent domain should never be used and doesn't think this is the right way to complete
this project. She also noted that she is very skeptical of traffic studies and indicated that
she will not vote for it if it comes back to the County Commission.
Mark Evans of 1567 Drakes Creek Road does reside within the Hendersonville city limits.
He indicated that he has been a proponent of the roundabout project and noted that it is
fully funded if the project begins soon. During his campaign he went door to door and
many citizens indicated that traffic is a concern for them. He indicated that staff have done
their due diligence, have looked at options, talked to residents. He feels that it is time to
move this project forward as many residents in Ward 6 want this project to be completed.
There have been many close calls with cars pulling out into oncoming traffic and he
supports this project.
Andrea Stilgenbauer of 422 Nowman Way does reside within the Hendersonville city
limits. She indicated that she lives in the Norman Creek subdivision and is an attorney.
Her concern is regarding Norman Creek, Phase 3. Based on the 2006 PDP it is clear that
Phase 3 was not intended to be built out. She indicated that the vesting period is important
and protects the people and the builders. The builders have taken no action for Phase 3 and
those who reside in Norman Creek do not want this to move forward. She asked that
BOMA take this into account.
Scott Thomas of 413 Norman Way does reside within the Hendersonville city limits. He
indicated that Phase 3 was never intended to be done. Norman Creek was 100% complete
with Phase I and Phase 2 and was handed over to the HOA. Phase 3 expired and no
extensions were filed for Phase 3. He noted that he is opposed to untruth and side-stepping
rules. He wants everything to be done properly .
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING

Bryan DeMoy of 146 Macy Drive does reside within the Hendersonville city limits. In
Norman Creek the 2006 PDP never was final. The 2006 PDP became null and void.
Norman Creek would be 92 home community and only includes Phase 1 and Phase 2. In
2016 Phase 1 and Phase 2 were final and Phase 3 is null and void. If the developer is
saying the Final Development Plan can be changed, Mr. DeMoy asked they present where
it states that they can do that and use the 2006 PDP. He asked the Board to abide by the
rules and vote against this proposal.
Joeleen Betterly of 408 Norman Way does reside within the Hendersonville city limits.
She noted that her neighbors have done a good job presenting the information on Norman
Creek. She asks the facts that have been presented be considered and asks where it is
stated that allows an extension of the 2006 PDP beyond a vesting period.
Charlena Aumiller of 143 Ruland Circle does reside within the Hendersonville city limits.
The City of Hendersonville has never used eminent domain in the past. She noted that the
roundabout is a good project, but she doesn't support it. She asked if the city tried to buy
from willing sellers. She also indicated that the public needs more information. She would
like everyone to see the offers and counter offers to help the citizens gage the effort that
has been put into the negotiations. Due diligence has been done on the design of the
project. She questioned whether the City would have to pay more if the ARP A timelines
are not met. She requested offers and counteroffers through a Public Records Request and
was denied based on attorney-client privilege. Eminent domain is not negotiation. City
would be taking from 5 homeowners to complete this project.
Lyndsey Steen of 101 Herman Harrison Road does not reside in the city limits of
Hendersonville. She indicated that there is an issue with communication regarding the
roundabout. She shared it is her understanding that the ARP A funds to be used for the
roundabout could have been used to help single mothers with heat and air and windows and
she feels that would have been a greater use of the funds. She mentioned her experience
with eminent domain and because of that experience, she doesn't feel comfortable going
forward with the roundabout.
Charles Kimbrough Jr. of 1004 Anderson Road does not reside in the city limits of
Hendersonville. He noted that Hendersonville has never done eminent domain before. He
noted that there is too much traffic on Drakes Creek Road and a roundabout won't fix the
problem. He doesn't feel that standard procedures are being followed and noted that the
City can't harm people financially to do this project. This project may cause property
values to decrease and questioned who is going to pay for this loss in value. No one will
want to buy a house with a roundabout in their front yard. He stated he doesn't want the
money, but if he was going to be forced to take it, he feels he should be adequately
compensated for the loss of his property value he feels he will incur. No one supporting
this project has any skin in the game. They don't stand to lose anything.
Kara Kimbrough of 1004 Anderson Road does not reside in the city limits of
Hendersonville. She has lived here since 2002. She shared after the 2006 tornado, they
rebuilt their home on the same property because they loved the area. The roundabout
threatens the home she loves. She indicated that she does not want homes to be devalued.
She also noted that the roundabout project doesn't address traffic. There used to be a stop

sign before Durham Farms. She suggested putting the stop sign back.
Phil Olea of 101 Countryside Drive does not reside in the city limits of Hendersonville.
This project first came up in 2005. For the past five years, traffic safety has not been a
concern. For past three years there is a no accident rate of 99%. He has cameras pointed at
the intersection and he sees everything. People tend to speed up coming out of Durham
Farms. He can't imagine what would happen with a roundabout.
Donna DeSopo of 101 Chambliss Court does reside within the Hendersonville city limits.
She wants the City to stay a beacon of freedom. She is before the Board to instruct them as
she feels that is the duty of citizens. She indicated that she is not happy about eminent
domain and feels it is not right. She stated that the City has not done its homework. She
spoke about the importance of data and that data matters. There is no evidence to support
the claims. This needs to be proved that it is the best option and due diligence needs to be
done. She asked the Board to reject this ordinance.
Bishop Michael L. Boyd of 403 Walton Ferry Road does reside within the Hendersonville
city limits. He appreciates the platform for citizens to speak. His prayer is that all can
work together to come up with solutions to benefit the whole. The church he pastors,
Rebuilding Lives Church has recently relocated to Hendersonville from East Nashville. He
is here to serve the community. There will be a dedication service for Rebuilding Lives
Church Sunday at 4pm and all are welcome to attend.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Executive session was entered into at 8:21 pm and exited at 9: 19 pm.
CONSENT AGENDA

ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
The caption was read for reading of Resolution 2024-43, a resolution approving next steps
of the Drakes Creek Roundabout Project located at the juncture of Drakes Creek Road,
Avant Lane, Countryside Drive and Anderson Road in Hendersonville, Sumner County,
Tennessee.
Collins moved; Roberson seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2024-43.
Skidmore stated this issue has a lot of history and there was misinformation regarding the
Public Works Committee. He wanted to set the record straight. Drakes Creek Roundabout
project came to the Public Works Committee in 2020. At that time $650,000 was
appropriated for this project and other improvements including the intersection at Old
Drakes Creek Road and New Shackle and Long Hollow and Drakes Creek intersection.
The Public Works Committee's focus was on getting a traffic signal at Long Hollow and
Drakes Creek Rd. Because this was a financial ordinance, the Public Works committee did
not send it to BOMA but instead referred it to the Finance Committee for approval. The
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING

ordinance went before the Finance Committee and then BOMA. He believes the
roundabout is a good project, but a traffic study should have been done. The City needs to
weigh property rights and the will of the government. BOMA is trying to do what is right
for the City.
Dixon thanked all the speakers and noted that the city does want to hear from them. She
does not feel good about the Drakes Creek roundabout project. She asked Public Works
Director Lock to summarize what the problem is and if the roundabout will help.
Director Lock indicated that this area is essentially a five-point intersection with North and
South Drakes Creek Road, Avant Lane, Countryside Lane, and Anderson Road. According
to TDOT there are roughly 8,900 vehicles per day that travel on Drakes Creek Road. The
City has received a lot of complaints and there is a lot of confusion in that area.
Alternatives were evaluated and the roundabout was the preferred solution to preserve the
character of the area as opposed to a traffic signal. The roundabout would reduce the
conflict points and helps with pedestrian safety. It also helps calm traffic and have the
capacity to accommodate up to 25,000 vehicles giving room for the expected growth.
Roberson asked City Attorney Wray if requests to view appraisals and counter appraisals
and offers had been released.
Attorney Wray responded that the offers are still open and referred to TCA that it is in the
best interest of the City and the property owners to not release the information until the
transaction is final.
Roberson indicated that he would like to have the information to be public. Attorney Wray
indicated that there have been three appraisals completed.
Collins moved and there was a second to suspend the rules to hear from the property
owners. There were no objections. The property owners were asked if they were
comfortable with the City releasing appraisals, offers and counteroffers. Mr. Kimbrough,
Mr. Olea, and Ms. Steen all answered "no".
Roberson asked the city attorney if damages such as devaluation have been considered.
Attorney Wray indicated that the last appraisal that was completed pursuant to the Uniform
Act does take this into account.
Roberson ask Director Lock why a traditional traffic study was not completed. Director
Lock indicated that a traffic study wasn't completed because of an understanding of current
conditions and the design process of the roundabout. It was known that the roundabout
could handle the traffic.
Roberson asked whether a traffic study was done at Old Drakes Creek Road and New
Shackle Island. Director Lock answered that yes, a traffic signal warrant analysis was
requested because of the traffic signal. Because of the configuration of the T-intersection,
the response was that it was not safe to install a traffic signal without the other
improvements being completed first.

Roberson asked where the City got their traffic count from. Director Lock explained that
TDOT' s count data they collect every year, and that number was 8,900 vehicles per day.
The contracted engineering firm provided environmental and transportation design as well
as the stormwater opinion and design. They looked at a number of alternatives and the
experts said that the roundabout is the best solution.
The County Highway Commission asked for an option moving the roundabout closer to
Durham Farms as seen in Exhibit E. This would be more impactful to property owners and
would cost roughly $3 million more than the current plan.
Roberson asked if we had to build the sidewalks and Director Lock stated that we could
grade for them, but not actually build them.
Roberson stated if eminent domain is pursued, it must be done right. He addressed
statements that have been made about eminent domain never happening in Hendersonville.
While the City of Hendersonville has not exercised eminent domain, TDOT has most
recently used eminent domain in the Walton Ferry/Old Shackle Island project.
Waters confirmed the traffic count per day was 8,900 on Drakes Creek Road and asked for
clarification of some of the exhibits showing the location and configuration of the
roundabout.
Sasse noted that the number one issue in Hendersonville is traffic. This project is in the
wrong place to help with traffic. He inquired about the ARP A funds potentially to receive
and whether the City would lose those funds if the project was not completed before the
September 2026 deadline.
Director Lock responded that is correct, but there may be options the City can take to avoid
losing the funds, but there is no guarantee. He believes in property owner rights and can't
support this.
Mayor Clary clarified that the County would not put this project on their agenda after the
City asked several times and many citizens were not allowed to speak about this at the
County. The City does not know where the County Commission stands on the project.
The Highway Commission passed it unanimously. Projects over $250,000 go to the Capital
Projects Committee. He also noted that traffic circles are not the same thing as
roundabouts. Clary also noted that the price we can offer to property owners is to protect
all taxpayers. We can't give away taxpayer dollars. To pay an additional $250,000 would
require a one penny increase in property taxes. He also said that the City should listen to
its constituents and several of the speakers are not our constituents. If traffic can be better,
it is a good thing.
Burgdorf wants the best use of taxpayer dollars. He questioned what else can be done and
what has been tried. He indicated that he does not support this.
The motion failed six (6) to Seven (7) with voting as follows:

Phase 3 Final Development Plan location at O Anderson Lane.
Sasse moved; Peterson seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2024-38.
Collins asked Director Free about the vesting period of the 2006 plan and if Phase 3 is
valid. Director Free indicted that the area being called Phase 3 is still intact. Collins asked
if the City has legal ground to deny this and would be able to defend if this was denied.
She does not support this.
Attorney Wray feels a denial may not be defensible.
Roberson indicated that he does not support this because the City does not need more
traffic in this area.
Sasse asked what this land is zoned. Director Free answered that it is zoned SR-1 PD.
Peterson confirmed that the property is owned by the Norman Family. He asked about the
property reverting to the HOA. Director Free confirmed this is true for Phase 1 and Phase
2, but not Phase 3.
Without objection the rules were suspended to hear from the developer. Ryan Loveless
with CSDG with the engineers and planners spoke and acknowledged the builder/develop
Castle Rock was present as well. Peterson asked about there not being a Phase 3 and now
there is. Mr. Loveless confirmed that a road is being extended and was part of the original
PUD. Citizens are surprised by the Phase 3.
Burgdorf asked if zoning dictated where roads go. Director Free stated that the Planned
Development dictates where the roads go. Director Free also stated the undeveloped
portion is being referred to as Phase 3.
Collins stated that Norman Farm [in the County] and Norman Creek [in the City] is
confusing. Director Free clarified that in 2006 it was Norman Creek.
Garza confirmed that the project is in Ward 5. If this gets built traffic will use the roads
that were just discussed with the roundabout.
The motion failed (1) to twelve (12) with Sasse voting Aye.

2024-43 the Drakes Creek Roundabout. That was moved forward with no
recommendation. The second item was Ordinance 2024-21 an ordinance
establishing a committee to be know as the Lakeshore Committee. This committee

could have been a non-profit or a committee as part of the City. They chose to be a
committee as part of the City. Last item was Resolution 2024-42 amending the Job

of revenues and expenses, adopted before July 1st, submitted to the Comptroller
