Notice of said public hearing was published in the September 25, 2017 issue of a local newspaper as follows: (Insert notice here.) The Assistant Planning Director presented the recommendation of the Planning Commission to annex subject property located along the north side of Yeargan Road and directly to the south of the Westwind Subdivision and Veterans Parkway. Plan of Services indicates services can be provided to subject property upon annexation; however, there is an existing house on the north side of Yeargan Road, and the water line is not large enough to provide the City’s ISO Class 2 fire protection to this structure. The Plan of Services states that the existing house would have to be demolished before the annexation can be effected. Staff has been notified by the applicant this date that the house is now vacant and will be demolished prior to second reading if the zoning passes first reading. The property will be served as it develops beginning at the north end by Westwind Subdivision. Utilities will be extended from Westwind into this property. Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on July 12, 2017 and voted unanimously, with one abstention, to recommend approving this annexation. Mayor McFarland then declared the public hearing open and invited those present who wished to speak for or against the proposed annexation and Plan of Services for approximately 107.6 acres located along Yeargan Road come forward to the podium. Mr. Mark Bradley, 4035 Yeargan Road, addressed the negative traffic impacts that would be created by the proposed 300-home development. To-date there have been no revisions made to the proposal to address the looming significant traffic increases on Yeargan Road and surrounding thoroughfares. He provided a handout that included a multitude of issues that other community members wanted to address.  October 12, 2017 Page 7 Ms. Pat Sanders, 2568 Armstrong Valley Road, addressed water retention issues on subject property she had witnessed for 54 years. She spoke for Ms. Connie Yeargan McGhee who is 94 and could not be present but would be directly impacted by this development and had concerns regarding traffic and drainage. Ms. Sanders requested that the hydrology be looked at before Council approves this request. Ms. Kym Bradley, 4035 Yeargan Road, addressed housing density; traffic congestion; surface runoff; road wear and tear; and the aesthetics of the community. She presented a handout which included pictures of the neighborhood as well as a petition of signatures. There were no others present who wished to speak for or against the proposed annexation and Plan of Services and, after ample time had been given, Mayor McFarland declared the public hearing closed. The following RESOLUTION 17-R-PS-46 was read to the Council and offered for adoption upon motion made by Mr. LaLance, seconded by Mr. Wade. Upon roll call said resolution was adopted by the following vote: Aye: Madelyn Scales Harris Rick LaLance Bill Shacklett Eddie Smotherman Kirt Wade Shane McFarland Nay: None (Insert RESOLUTION 17-R-PS-46 here to adopt a Plan of Services for approximately 107.6 acres along Yeargan Road [2017-509]; Mary Lou Dodson, applicant.) The following RESOLUTION 17-R-A-46 was read to the Council and offered for adoption upon motion made by Mr. LaLance, seconded by Mr. Wade. Upon roll call said resolution was adopted by the following vote: Aye: Madelyn Scales Harris Rick LaLance Bill Shacklett Eddie Smotherman Kirt Wade Shane McFarland Nay: None (Insert RESOLUTION 17-R-A-46 here to annex approximately 107.6 acres along Yeargan Road, and to incorporate the same within the corporate boundaries of the City of Murfreesboro, Tennessee [2017-509]; Mary Lou Dodson, applicant.) Mayor McFarland announced that the next item on the agenda is to conduct a public hearing to consider zoning approximately 107.6 acres along Yeargan Road to Planned Residential Development (PRD) District, simultaneous with annexation, (Magnolia Grove PRD); TVLP Management, LLC, applicant [2017-410]. The Assistant Planning Director presented the applicant’s zoning request for Planned Residential Development (PRD) District which was presented to Planning Commission on  October 12, 2017 Page 8 July 12, 2017 and for which a public hearing was conducted and deferred so that a neighborhood meeting could be held. Following that meeting, the applicant made some changes to the Pattern Book which were brought back to the Planning Commission on August 16, 2017 and, at that time, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve with two abstentions. The Murfreesboro 2035 Comprehensive Future Land Use Map recommends that the northern area of this property be developed as “Auto Urban Residential” which is a density of 3.5 to 8 units per acre, and the southern half, closer to Yeargan Road, is recommended for “Suburban Residential” which is a density of up to 3.5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density is 2.86 dwelling units per acre which takes into account the entire property, open spaces, detention areas, and amenity centers. The total acreage is then divided by the number of proposed units which equals 2.86 dwelling units per acre. The request, density-wise, is lower but generally consistent with the recommendations of the Murfreesboro 2035 Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Matt Taylor, SEC, Inc., accompanied by Mr. Darrell Hon, TVLP Management, LLC, Mr. Rob Molchan, Landscape Architect with SEC, Inc. and Mr. Roger Haley, Consultant on project, oriented those present to subject property and the proposed Magnolia Grove PRD. He gave a summary of the revisions to the Concept Plan and Rezoning Booklet for the proposed development. Mr. Taylor addressed questions from the Council regarding density, transition, aesthetics, setback variances, property values, standing water and inadequate sized pipes. Mayor McFarland then declared the public hearing open and invited those present who wished to speak for or against the proposed zoning of approximately 107.6 acres along Yeargan Road to Planned Residential Development (PRD) District, simultaneous with annexation, (Magnolia Grove PRD), come forward to the podium. Mr. Mark Bradley, 4035 Yeargan Road, addressed his previous comments and asked that they be carried over to the zoning discussion. He additionally addressed the widening of the road along the frontage of subject property to address turn lanes for efficient in and out of the neighborhood; however, he did not feel it improved the overall situation with the high level of traffic. The community did not view the proposed round-about as an improvement; the 50’ buffer needs to be higher; early phases of development are going to start right in front of their neighborhoods instead of what was originally proposed to start far away from the residents; they did not see how property values would be improved; and they wanted to see an official hydrology report that documents what water does. Ms. Kym Bradley, 4035 Yeargan Road, addressed the changes requested by the community but not considered by the developer regarding less density; no entrances on  October 12, 2017 Page 9 Yeargan Road; no construction traffic; requests for hydrology reports; Armstrong Valley/Yeargan Roads not prepared for current traffic much less new development; property values affected by zero lot-line development; flooding that occurs causing backup of traffic when there are heaving rains. Mr. Zack Brown, 3934 Ashley Drive, addressed the watershed impact to their area and the request for a comprehensive hydrology analysis as to the designs of the detention ponds and surface runoff. Before this proposal is considered, residents must be able to review these reports because of the direct proximity to their residents and have an appropriate assurance that there is not going to be a negative impact. Ms. Mary DeVault, 4020 Yeargan Road, addressed the flooding and runoff issues on Armstrong Valley Road, Yeargan Road and Thompson Road that currently exist and what plan has been put in place to handle safety issues and road closures due to high water. Ms. Linda White, 4121 Yeargan Road, asked Council to consider the future and beauty of Rutherford County and not soak it up with 300 homes. Ms. Pat Campbell, 3927 Yeargan Road, requested that the phasing begin at the other end of the property instead of the residential end. She also requested that construction trucks not be allowed to use Yeargan Road as an entrance into the development. Ms. Brenda Harold, 2432 Armstrong Valley Road, addressed her family, some of which are special needs children, who enjoy the peaceful area in which they live. The increased traffic from this development will change this peaceful atmosphere. Mr. Bill Gracey, 4156 Yeargan Road, addressed his concerns with this development and increased runoff water issues on his property. Ms. Pat Sanders, 2568 Armstrong Valley Road, addressed her concerns with the proposed detention ponds filling up and where the excess water will go. Mr. Donald White, 4121 Yeargan Road, addressed road construction keeping up with growth. Ms. Glenda Cox, 4100 Michelle Street, stated this area is crawfish land and had concerns with flooding the nearby cemetery and graves that have been there for years. Ms. Doris Martin, 4028 Ashley Drive, addressed construction and blasting and how it will affect the graves in this cemetery as well as their homes. She asked Council to consider the voices they have heard tonight and how this proposed development will change the dynamics of their neighborhoods that are very dear to their hearts. There were no others present who wished to speak for or against the proposed zoning along Yeargan Road and, after ample time had been given, Mayor McFarland declared the public hearing closed.  October 12, 2017 Page 10 An ordinance, entitled “ORDINANCE 17-OZ-46 amending the Zoning Ordinance and the Zoning Map of the City of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, as heretofore amended and as now in force and effect to zone approximately 107.6 acres along Yeargan Road as Planned Residential Development (PRD) District simultaneous with annexation; TVLP Management, LLC, applicant [2017-419],” was read to the Council and offered for passage on first reading. The Assistant City Engineer addressed the issues heard in the public hearing regarding wetland features of subject property and Stormwater Management Guidelines. The hydrology report would be provided at the time of site plan review. Mr. Taylor and staff responded to those comments made regarding grave site, traffic, Phase I, construction traffic and density. He also noted that demolition of the house on subject property will require an asbestos report. Mr. Shacklett made a motion to defer first reading until the asbestos removal report and the hydrology report have been received. Vice-Mayor Scales Harris seconded the motion. Upon roll call, deferral of said ordinance failed by Vice-Mayor Scales Harris and Mr. Shacklett voting “Aye” and Mr. LaLance, Mr. Smotherman, Mr. Wade and Mayor McFarland voting “Nay”.
