Salemtown Neighbors Neighborhood Association Meeting Minutes
July 29, 2019
Meeting was called to order at 7pm by Lindsey Cox (SNNA president). A list of the members and guests in attendance will be maintained on record.
1.Community Reports
a.3rd and Coffee Development Project- Tarrick Love and Tanisha Heart-Love from Heart-Love Enterprises, Mr. Alan Black, property owner
This project was previously presented to the neighborhood association in the fall of 2018. The builders came to this meeting at the request of the SNNA board to update the neighborhood on the changes to the plans and the status of the progress.
The addresses are 1825-1835 3rd Ave North- 6 lots that lie on the north end of 3rd Avenue in Salemtown at Coffee St. Currently this property is undeveloped. The original plans presented to the association called for 25 units with garages, plus 16 extra parking spots. The plan has been revised down to 21 units, with the fronts positioned along 3rd Avenue and Coffee Street. The units all will have garages, that will be either 20 or 24 ft wide to allow for storage as well as a parking area. In addition the number of parking spaces on the property has been revised up to 18. There will not be access to the development from 3rd Ave, but there will be a street drop off area for ride sharing pick up, food delivery etc. The designs call for an 8ft sidewalk on 3rd and a 5 ft sidewalk on Coffee.
Although the design plans are not yet finalized, the units will be 2-2.5 stories tall. They will have a historic look, with the facades covered in materials like brick and siding. The square footage is expected to be between 17-2400 square feet, and priced based on the market at the time of sale. If there will be rooftop decks they will be concealed from view from the street.
L Cox asked if there would be a limitation on short term rentals included in the HOA? It is standard for SNNA to request this language in new HOA agreements. Tarrick said that it would be discussed when the time comes.
b.Octoberfest- October 12 5K fun run
The route for the annual Octoberfest 5K will be changed this year. (Please see attached map.) The route will begin at the Farmer’s Market, go up Jefferson St to 4th, all the way to Coffee, then down 7th to Hume, then back up 6th to Buchanan, then finally all the way back down 5th to Jefferson St and back to the Farmer’s Market. The route will be blocked from 6 to 9 am. They are seeking volunteers to serve in a number of capacities: operate water stations, direct runners along the new route, registration etc. Volunteer sign up will begin in August.
c.Freddie O’Connell: Last weekend was the first ever Open Streets to take place in North Nashville, and it is likely to return to this area. Overall the response from neighbors has been positive. This year’s event was held in July due to the difficulty in finding police officers to provide security. We are hopeful that we can work out the details in order to hold the event in a traditionally cooler time of year.
He also reminded those in attendance that Thursday is election day in Nashville.
2.Committee Reports:
a.Neighbors to Neighbors (Social Outreach): The school year starts soon, and there will be new opportunities to be involved with Buena Vista Enhanced Option Elementary School. This is a new project, so not sure yet exactly how it will look, but contact Mindy Quinn if you are interested in knowing more.
b.Treasurer:
If you have not yet paid your 2019 dues please reach out to Brad Snider on Nextdoor, or you can pay via the PayPal link on our website. (www.salemtownneighbors.org)
The meeting was adjourned at 808 pm.
