The meeting was called to order by Chairman, Rob Pease at 7:03 p.m.
The pledge and prayer was led by Rob Pease.
Those in attendance were: Rob Pease, Joe Rositano, Charles Knapper, Lester Hitt, Frank Wilson, Larry Felts, Orville Norton, Yvonne McCurley, Mike Wood, Mike Delvizis.
The minutes from the October 13, 1998 meeting were passed unanimously after a motion was made by Larry Felts followed with a second by Frank Wilson.
The minutes from October 29, 1998 were approved by unanimous vote. Motion was made by Charles Knapper and seconded by Larry Felts.
It was decided to defer Jim Hindman’s speech until later in the meeting. He was expected to arrive soon.
The next item on the agenda was to approve a Major Road Plan. However, Mike Wood noted that a public hearing must be held before it could be adopted. Charles Knapper made a motion that recommended putting this item on the next agenda after publicizing it in the paper. This motion passed unanimously after being seconded by Joe Rositano.
There was a handout from Aldermen Henry distributed to the Planning Commission regarding suggested changes to the newly adopted Zoning Ordinance. This item was not on the agenda but Chairman Rob Pease made mention of it by posing a question to Jim Finley, “Do you have any comments about the handout from Alderman Henry?” Jim Finley answered, “No, I do not.” The handout was not looked over.
Item number 8: The zoning map was already adopted and didn’t need to be on agenda.
Item number 9: Changes to the Sub Regs are noted in each person’s copy and will be voted on at one time when all the changes are completed. Rob Pease gave a handout with the changes he is suggesting.
7:46 Jim Hindman arrived with Rick Fisher. Frank Wilson suggested that the planning commission hear Mr. Hindman at this time. Jim Hindman explained the purpose and challenges presented to the Nolensville Growth Planning Committee and assured the Planning Commission that the Town’s best interest was being evaluated by the committee. At this point NGPC is collecting data in order to educate themselves in being able to responsibly project the impact of external growth and the effects it may have on Nolensville. He stated that in no way would NGPC go against the Planning Commission in any endeavor but that they would work together in cooperation with one another. Discussion was brought forward about re-visiting the Town’s Comprehensive Plan now that we have a Growth Planning Committee doing such extensive studies in gathering such valuable data. Mayor Knapper says that Planning Commission will have input at public hearing before NGPC makes their recommendation to Mayor and Board of Aldermen or to the county. Planning Commission members commended the NGPC for their gracious efforts so far. Planning Commission agreed that they need to look at expanding Nolensville for our own protection. Jim Hindman answered questions and there was more discussion about Growth Planning.

All Planning Commission members were present except for Rick Owens. One citizen, Rick Fisher was present..
The first item on the agenda was the approval of the minutes from July 9th meeting. A motion was made by Joe Rositano, seconded by Larry Felts that the minutes be approved with the following changes:
“9.7.2.4 Second sentence should read “are allowed off premises Friday 4:00 p.m. - Monday 9:00 a.m. 9.7.1 Change all references of section to article where applicable.
9.7.5. D Eliminate paragraph D.”
Minutes from the July 23rd meeting were approved with no changes. Motion made by Orville Norton, seconded by Evelyn Bennett.
The Zoning Ordinance was reviewed and the following changes were recommended:
Article 11, Sections 11.1.0 thru 11.2.5 will be deleted from the Zoning Ordinance and will be addressed in the By-Laws.
D delete “site or structure, or any site or structure” and add “site, structure or sign, or any site, structure or sign”
There was some discussion on the preparation of a draft document with the recommended changes to the Zoning Ordinance. A draft copy will be given to the Planning Commission members before the next Planning Commission meeting to look over. Members will be ready to discuss any final changes at the next regular Planning Commission meeting in September. Then a public hearing will be held to recommend the changes to the Board. An ad must be placed 10 days prior to the public hearing.
The Zoning Map needs to be made official. Mike Wood will take care of getting the signature blanks on the map.
There was discussion on Open Space Overlay. Mike Wood will make changes to recommend requirements for overlay. Yvonne McCurley will see to obtaining aerial photos from Bob Martin at Franklin Planning Department.
There was discussion about underground utilities.. Some members raised a question about whether or not the Town would be required to eventually put in underground utilities on existing properties if the Zoning Ordinance required all new construction to have underground utilities. Mike Wood warned that legal counsel should be sought before any decision is made on this and agreed to confer with Counsel Notestine about the matter. A formal vote was then taken in which five (5) were in favor, Frank Wilson opposed, Paula Auerbach abstained. Joe Rositano vehemently refused to vote and objected to there having been a vote taken without first hearing from Legal Counsel.
Commercial Zone Overlay for the new Town Center Concept was discussed. The practical agreement is to wait on adopting this plan and have this be a separate issue. We agreed not to include this in the draft of revision recommendations to the Zoning Ordinance. It was deferred until October.
Joe Rositano made comments about the annexation meeting he had attended with Williamson County.
Larry Felts made comment about Two-Way’s lighting being in violation of the Zoning Ordinance due to the fact that it does not comply with the foot candle regulations.

Public comment by Phil Jones was made stating that the fee of $100 was too much to pay for a copy of the Zoning Ordinance/Sub Regs.

Rob Pease agreed that it was too high. Orville suggested having a copy placed at the Public Library to be checked out by citizens. Mike Wood suggested reducing the fee.

At 8:47, Mayor Knapper requested a break in the action regarding Sub. Regs. Discussion due to the lateness of the hour and mentioned that copies of the Sign Ordinance 98-07 were now ready to be given out if discussion on it was desired at this time rather than waiting until next meeting.
