 ​ 09/26/16 SNNA Minutes
Called to order by SNNA Secretary Mindy Quinn at 6:02pm at 1401 5th Ave N (Industrial Strength Marketing)
Attendance records have been retained for reference.
  1. Approval of August 2016 Minutes was tabled until next month.
  2. Community Guests          
    1. James Soto, Salemtown neighbor and owner of Germantown business, Industrial Strength Marketing greeted the group and told them a little bit about the company and their goals. He mentioned that it is part of the company vision to be involved in community in a positive way. They do this, in part, by allowing groups such as SNNA to use their facilities for meetings and events.
    2. Josh and Erin Hurst, presented information regarding their Guitar Build Workshop that will be held on Saturdays at their shop on 4th Avenue North in Salemtown. During this one day workshop, participants can build a guitar start to finish. No experience necessary. (GuitarBuildWorkshop.com)
    3. Developers who are currently in the middle of a building project (8 units)at the corner of 4th and Garfield came to the meeting to present their request to expand the project to include the lot to the south. There would be a total of 16 units, 8 on each lot. All but 2 units will have 2 car garages, and they will be required to place no parking signs on 4th and Garfield. There will be 7 visitor spaces off of the alley behind the houses, for a total of 34 spaces where codes would require only 24. When the members present expressed concern regarding extra visitor parking on these streets, they suggested that there could be some language in the HOA documents to prevent visitor street parking. The design for these units has already passed planning, but have not yet gone before the city council. The new phase would have a completion date of approximately October 2017.
    4. Mitch Kornberg- Metro PD Community Liaison- Crime is down in this area 12% from this same time period last year. There have been 4 robberies in the Capital District, one of which was an armed robbery of a pizza delivery person on the 1600 block of 5th Avenue North in Salemtown. Two of the three suspects involved have been arrested. Overall robberies and assaults are down but vehicle break-ins and shoplifting are on the rise. Emergency call response times are around 4 minutes. Metro PD is currently hiring to make up for attrition, but they are not increasing the size of the force until the addition of a new precinct.
    5. Neighbors to Neighbors (Social Outreach committee)-
i.Hands on Nashville Day was a big success. A group of neighbors planted and painted at Warner Enhanced Elementary School in East Nashville. Thank you to Erin Hurst for planning. HON Day is usually the 3rd Wednesday of September. We will be participating again next year.
ii.We will be hosting Trunk or Treat for the Nashville Rescue Mission at Garfield and Rosa Parks at 6pm on Sunday Oct 30. We need 10 cars and 2 alternates plus volunteers to run games and other activities.
  1. Treasurers Report:
i.Most recent order of Salemtown tshirts have arrived.
ii.The Halloween Block Party will be held at the 1600 block of 5th Ave North Saturday Oct 29 from 6 to 10pm. In the past the party has been held on Halloween and the folks that live on that street have passed out candy. We are trying to decide how to handle this since it will not be Halloween. Rochell is seeking volunteers to help with set up and clean up.
iii.We will be selling water at Octoberfest on Oct 8 as a fund raiser for the block party.
  1. Please note that the October Membership meeting will be held on Oct 24 NOT on the last Monday of October which is Halloween.
The meeting was adjourned at 705pm.
