Salemtown Neighbors Neighborhood Association Meeting Minutes
October 29, 2018
Meeting was called to order at 601pm by Lindsey Cox (SNNA president). A list of the members and guests in attendance will be maintained on record.
1.Community Reports
a.Officer Forsythe- Community Liaison Officer Metro Nashville PD
Officer Forsythe told us that theft was up this month over that of last month. That includes both car theft and theft from vehicles. Reminder, do not warm up your vehicle with the car unattended and the doors unlocked. Metro PD has been sending a community engagement team into the area to get to know the area and be on the look out for nuisance issues.
b.Developers for 3rd and Coffee project
Adam Sager with Dale and Associates a civil engineering firm came with the owner and builder for the current empty area that is 6 lots across from the waste water treatment plant. They are working on converting the zoning on this property from R6 to SP which will allow for increased density of residential development, but it also requires that they seek community input. They are currently planning on putting in 25 units with rear/alley facing garages. The alley will be improved and the fronts will face 3rd, Coffee and the alley as well as a set of houses that face the courtyard. They will be three story units with rooftop decks, and constructed of mixed materials. There will be stacked units in the rear of the development. Including the garage spaces and the alley parking they are planning on a total of 54 parking spaces.
Q: Lindsey asked that they come back to us with a streetlight plan, a tree replacement plan and ask that they include in their homeowners association rules a prohibition against non-owner occupied short term rentals.
Q: Melissa asked about the possibility of a traffic calming plan for 3rd because of the building of the hotel just north of the overpass and the already hectic morning and evening commuter traffic on this road. Also noting that delivery drivers will not be able to stop along this route for delivery.
Q: What is the timeline on this project? A: The next step is to incorporate the suggestions, complete a drawing which will be submitted to planning. Best of circumstances it would be fall of 2019 for the beginning of construction, which would happen in stages.
Q: Price range? A: Low $300,000 to 500,000 and would be 16-1700 square feet.
All agreed to return with more updated plans including detailed elevations of the structures.
