Commissioner Patrick seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
C. McCord Nolen Awnings and Parking Resubmittal Plan
Mr. Cole Newton of T-Square Engineering and Mr. Jim McCanless represented the development. There was a lengthy discussion about the parking, the trail location and surface, the set-backs, the sidewalks and surface, and the dumpster location in front of Building 4. Mr. McCanless agreed to install the sidewalks per the Historic District concept plan, and further agreed to work with Dr. Tiffany McClaran on the phone line in her building.
After additional detailed discussion, Commissioner Patrick moved to Approve the McCord Nolen Awnings and Parking Resubmittal Site Plan with the following conditions: (1) All of the 143 parking spaces as shown on the current plan must be installed; (2) The additional required landscaping adjacent to the Building #1 parking area and Building #3 are bonded and installed per the plan; and (3) Sidewalks must comply with the Historic District Concept Plan.

E. Text Amendment to Zoning Ordinance Appendix B Section 1.3.2 Street Tree Requirement
Town Planner Sarah Sitterle gave a brief explanation of the months-long repairs to sidewalks at the expense of the Town in a number of neighborhoods where street trees have been planted in the grass strip. In addition, Nolensville College Grove Utility District is also now requiring water lines to be located in the grass strip. There was a discussion about whether changes would be made in phases that have been approved but not yet built and about who would then own the trees: the HOA or the home owner. Counsel Notestine suggested adding provisions to CCRs regarding tree ownership. There was additional discussion about Ms. Powers’ comments about tree species causing the root problems.

Sitterle explained that the Town of Nolensville Zoning Ordinance is exclusionary in nature. Although short-term rentals are not currently prohibited in the Zoning Ordinance, they are also not permitted. Counsel Notestine added that the Town cannot regulate short-term rentals because we do not have permits for them.
After continued discussion, Mayor Alexander moved to approve Text Amendment to Zoning Ordinance Article 1—Adding Article 1.14.0-Single Family Dwellings, seconded by Commissioner Andy Grosson. Upon a vote, the motion passed 6 – 1, with Commissioner Owens opposed.
