CITIZENS' COMMENTS
The guidelines were read by Mayor Clary.
Ann Shike of 1006 Margaret Drive located in Lawson Point addressed the Board in
opposition to a convention center. With three (3) neighborhoods (Lawson Point, The
Meadows, and Cross Creek) whose only entrance and exit is on Stop 30 Road, she feels the
road first needs to be repaired and expanded between New Shackle Island Road and Drakes
Creek Road. She reviewed the annual average daily traffic figures (AADT) provided by
TOOT for this specific area over the last 23 years. She reported in 2001, when the Lawson
Point Subdivision was established there were 1,150 vehicles per year traveling Stop 30. By
2016, after the development of Durham Farms and William Burrus Elementary, the
development of the Streets of Indian Lake in 2007, and additional commerce along Indian
Lake Blvd, those numbers increased to 5,445 vehicles per year by 2019. As of 2024, the
AADT reports there are over 7,134 vehicles per year that travel the short 1.2 miles of two-
lane road from Stop 30 @ Drakes Creek Road to New Shackle Island Road. With all the
new development she asked why the road has not been improved to better handle the
increase in volume of traffic over the last 23 years. She cited safety issues and crash data
due to Stop 30 being so narrow. She does not feel like a convention center belongs in the
middle of a neighborhood. She and other neighbors suggest Saundersvi lie Road or the Big
Play locations as alternate sites and already zoned commercial.
Steven Puckett of 228 Sanders Ferry Road, Apt. A 21 addressed the Board regarding the
resolution relating to the idea of the convention center, He suggested the resolution be
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING
JULY 22, 2025

amended to require State guarantees the infrastructure and for it to be in place before the
convention center opens. While Stop 30 and Drakes Creek infrastructure improvements are
mentioned, he feels there should be specific stated improvements for 3 86 southbound for a
collector. There will be buses to deal with. For 3 86 northbound, there needs to be a
requirement for a specific exit ramp directly into the facility. Regardless of who purchases
the property, it is going to develop. He suggested the City purchase it to keep it from
developing, using it as a park or for flood control. He suggested making that decision
tonight, and having Forward Sumner help with getting the resources for that purchase.
Julia Dyer of 104 Valley Drive addressed the Board in opposition to the convention center.
She has lived her whole life on the fourth generation Barrett Farm which backs up to the
land for the proposed convention center. She feels it is a very irrational idea; it floods every
time it rains, and there is no guarantee of what would happen to whatever is built there. She
stated the convention center idea was attempted with the building of the Expo Center which
is now a call center. She feels it is corporate greed coming into the City and talcing over
when the focus should be on small businesses and building community.
Tony Johnson of 1009 West Bank Drive addressed the Board in opposition of the
resolution to express interest in the hotel/convention center. He started an online petition of
opposition. There are 502 verified signatures opposing the proposed activity on Stop 30
Road. He read portions of the petition to the Board stating the reason for opposition is the
preservation of residential zoning, crucial for the character and the integrity of the
community. There is a major impact on local infrastructure which cannot support the
congestion that is currently in the area. He and others feel the resolution expresses an
interest from BOMA to develop plans which there is a process in place for that, developers
bring plans, hear citizens' comments and inputs before it gets to BOMA. He represents 502
citizens who encourage the Board to vote "no".
Paula Johnson of 1009 West Bank Drive addressed the Board in opposition of the
resolution proposing the idea of a convention center and hotel. She and her husband moved
to Hendersonville in 2000 because there was no Target or large developments. They
wanted a rural setting with green space. Since they have been here the growth has been
tremendous. Some growth is good, but not all is. She encouraged the Board to not vote to
proceed with the plans for the proposed resolution.
Betsy McMullen of 105 Pin Oak Drive addressed the Board commending them on their
competency and the way the Board handles themselves, unlike a commission meeting she
attended in another large city in Sumner County. She described it as chaotic. She
encouraged the Board to keep up the good work.
Jeff Blazok of 104 Macy Drive addressed the Board in opposition of the hotel/convention
center. He moved here twelve years ago. He has lived in many places over the years and
found Hendersonville to be the only place he had lived that was quiet. He described twelve
years of growth as disastrous. He asked the rhetorical question "When is enough enough?"
He stated 1100 homes had been built north of the bypass within one mile of where he
resides. The roads are still 2 lanes. In his line of business, he deals with axle weight used to
regulate highways. Weight cannot exceed 80,000 pounds. He feels when the roads in
discussion were built, the hundreds of dump trucks and trucks hauling bricks and building

materials that use them daily were not taken into account. Anderson is sinking, there are
no shoulders. The City is no longer the City by the Lake; we're the City with no green. The
traffic is so congested that if there were to be an accident in the proposed area of the
development, the firefighters in Durham Farms could not get to the scene due to there
being nowhere for the cars to move out of the way. Another house would have to be
dispatched.
Lisa Bracco of 296 Lake Terrace Drive addressed the Board as a 30-year resident and
rental property owner of Hendersonville. She is frustrated with the leadership and direction
of Hendersonville. She stated she and others feel ignored, dismissed, and misrepresented by
those in office. She shared safety concerns that she feels have been disregarded. She
requested streetlights for her safety due to being involved in an active criminal
investigation which has resulted in her being harassed and receiving death threats. She
stated there was no action taken and feels a lack of urgency. She referenced a recent notice
from the Tax Assessor in which rentaJ property assessments increased from 25%-40%.
She is disabled and lives off her rental income. She will be voting for change in the next
election if things continue to fall short in her eyes. She is going to lead a campaign to get
handicapped accessible playgrounds for all children. She feels her two representatives do
not represent her.
Brian Moore of2038 Stop 30 Road addressed the Board in opposition of the
hotel/convention center idea. He questioned what happened to the rezoning plan for the
same area about a year ago that had three different options. He lives next door to the
property being considered in the resolution and is concerned what will happen to his
property, as he was with the previous plans for rezoning.
Charlena Awniller of 143 Ruland Circle addressed the Board regarding three items on the
agenda. She echoes the comments of previous speakers regarding the Conference Center
preferring it to be located in the older parts of HendersonvilJe. She feels there are pros and
cons for having the development be located on Stop 30 and shared what those were.
Regarding Resolution 2025-20 regarding the carryover accumulated vacation she feels it
is good for some employees, but with any plan like this, she feels the City should
grandfather employees that would be hindered by this due to potential litigation if an
employee was able to make a case where they had been targeted. She stated the trend
analysis of the Executive department found on pages 95-101 that she had previously
requested as well as one of the Ward 5 aldermen, proves her point she has been trying to
make at previous meetings when speaking. She requested that it be further looked into
regarding the Mayor's comment that he had never received a raise except for cost of living
increases. She referenced the Mayor's salary was set at $43,000.00 for whomever won the
November 2020 election. She referenced page 96 of the current agenda packet noting the
Executive budget has only two positions with the budget at $613,000.00.
Rebecca Goddard of 2339A New Hope Road addressed the Board in opposition of the
hotel/conference center. She moved to Hendersonville from California four years ago
because of irresponsible, reckless growth. She feels it's insane to consider building a
convention center or hotel on Stop 30. She questioned the Board as to what they were
getting for it, while citizens were begging them not to do it. Mayor clary cautioned and
reminded Ms. Goodard of the rule for Citizen Comments that one should not question those

with differing views. Ms. Goddard continued by saying a convention center in the middle
of a rural residential area is irresponsible, reckless and creates safety issues. It wouldn't be
used daily, and she feels putting that type of development in that area will bring traffic,
taxes and crime. She feels it is not needed, but there are more appropriate places in the City
that it could be built.
CONSENT AGENDA
Receive and File the Classification and Compensation Plan adopted by the Budget
ordinance. No vote taken as it is not needed for a Receive and File.
ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
The caption was read for first reading of Orclinance 2025-13 an ordinance rezoning 26
acres located on Rockland Road from Mixed Commercial (MXC) to Industrial-Planned
Development (I-PD), and approving the Lincoln Rockland Commercial Plaza
Comprehensive Development Plan to govern the development of said property.
Clary explained that his sponsorship was to follow State law, and it does not necessarily
reflect the way he feels about the proposed ordinance.
Goodwin moved; Dixon seconded a motion to approve Ordinance 2025-13 on first reading.
Without objection the rules were suspended to hear from Lane Baker with Lincoln Property
Company.
Burgdorf stated that all questions were covered a1 the Planning meeting and the
information provided was complete.

There was a unanimous vote to approve Ordinance 2025-13 on first reading.
Clary declared the motion carried.
Clary asked for unanimous consent to take up Item 6, instead of Item 5 as the agenda was
amended . The purpose for asking to take up Item 6 before Item 5 is there are several
people in attendance for Item 6, and it was thought that item would have been reached by
this point in the meeting.
The caption was read for Resolution 2025-21, resolution to explore the feasibility of a
Planned Development consisting of a hotel and conference center on Stop 30 Road.
Goodwin moved, Ward seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2025-21.
Discussion included a procedural concern as this item seems it is being rushed and short
circuits the process as well as diminishes the role of the Hendersonville Planning
Commission. Public opinion is not supportive, and it fails the compatibility test. Board
members expressed their lack of support and the potential for better locations. The intent of
the resolution was to get feedback and with a rezoning it could come back to the Board as
it would have to be considered at that point. There was clarification that Forward Sumner
brought the idea forward from a Three Star program as well as the difference between a
conference center and a convention center. This was a concept only, no project. It was for
gathering information. Metrics of traffic flow and how improvements would be made needs
to be understood and infrastructure timelines need to be made known. Some liked the idea
of Hendersonville having a conference center and a hotel, but larger priorities need to be
addressed.
There was a unanimous vote to not approve Resolution 2025-21 .
Clary declared the motion failed.
The caption was read for Resolution 2025-20, a resolution amending the Personnel Rules
and Regulations of the City of Hendersonville relative to employees' carry over of
accumulated vacation leave.
Evans moved; Roberson seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2025-20.
Discussion included an explanation of why this resolution was written and the realization
that hours would be lost for six employees if this resolution were to pass. Further
discussion included it being a benefit to the employees, why weren't employees able to
take vacations, making sure employees are made whole, pay compared to the years of
service that could be added were not the same thing, why was this allowed to happen over
this number of years followed by an explanation, what constitutes extenuating
circumstances, support of the ordinance expressed by Board members, and the potential of
an ordinance being brought forth at a later time to appropriate the money to pay the six
individuals who stand to lose from the passage of the resolution.
