NEW Message from Cedar Hill, TN Metropolis Commissioner/ Vice Mayor John Edwards
All through our time in speaking concerning the subdivision a phrase popped into my thoughts and has repeated in my head that illustrates issues properly, a minimum of to me. “Some of us don’t have anything to lose and every little thing to achieve & Some of us have every little thing to lose and nothing to achieve”. Our neighborhood has expressed its considerations over the proposed R20 rezoning and growth and we’ve solely obtained the identical message we’ve heard all alongside.
We have now requested extra info and have wished to offer suggestions in hopes of bringing the proper accountable development to our neighborhood. We requested a gathering with the developer days earlier than (Tuesday) it went to planning and zoning and it bought canceled. The builders threw out one other date and time, which was at lunch time in Adams a number of days later and on the morning of when it will seem earlier than Planning and Zoning. I responded inside a number of hours of the reschedule request and allow them to know that a number of of us couldn’t make the lunch time request as a consequence of work schedules. I additionally requested if there was one other time and date we may meet earlier than and obtained solely a “No”. On the very coronary heart of Planning and growth and/or constructing inside a neighborhood is getting suggestions from the neighborhood and asking them if that is acceptable and if this suits the neighborhood, particularly whenever you’re coming from exterior that neighborhood. Cedar Hill has been on the negotiating desk since day one. Our willingness to offer suggestions and the unwillingness of others has created the present setting we discover ourselves in at the moment.
I’ve seen of us say that they’d like to return to the neighborhood, however we need to make sure that what your saying goes to be what you’re going to truly see. If you wish to come name Cedar Hill residence or return, then you may. This property is already zoned R40. Because the developer acknowledged of their video “We are able to go in there and construct on it proper now with out ever having to seem earlier than Planning and Zoning”. Why isn’t this being executed? The builders have the flexibility to offer high quality properties on extra acreage. The parents who’re calling the builders and asking them for some property the place they will construct a home wants to grasp that you are able to do that at the moment. You might buy so much on the property and be inside a low density residential space the place your youngsters can higher expertise the small city really feel of our space and the place you may be reminded why you wished to maneuver again to this rural city.
As talked about above, numerous of us would love to return again to their stomping grounds. The world the place they went to highschool and spent Friday nights watching Crimson Satan soccer and the world the place they’d bonfires in open fields, there’s in all probability a large inhabitants that engaged in or was a part of mudding in these fields. These fields are nonetheless right here and that neighborhood continues to be right here. We’re right here to welcome you again with open arms. Development goes to occur and it’s occurring throughout our county. We all know it’s coming right here and it’s clearly arrived. Development can profit a neighborhood or it might probably additionally hurt it. The neighborhood of Cedar Hill acknowledges what it may do to our neighborhood, much better than those that don’t dwell inside our space and that is mirrored whenever you have a look at the supporters or opposers to this growth.
The neighborhood of Cedar Hill isn’t attempting to disclaim the builders the proper to construct on their property (They may construct on it at the moment with R40),it’s asking that you simply be accountable and construct what suits our neighborhood; aesthetically, density, measurement and infrastructure clever. R40 meets that standards and it’s acceptable for our neighborhood and metropolis. R20 doesn’t meet that standards and it’s not acceptable for our neighborhood. Based mostly on the 2040 Development Plan that was adopted our neighborhood is predicated round a village heart format. A village heart format shouldn’t be urbanized, an urbanized space can be acceptable for larger density housing. A village heart is primed for low density housing and related development. Sub-City density is predicated across the development across the city facilities and village heart ideas. You’ll construct your excessive density housing round your city heart after which lower density as your transition to your rural farmlands. Go to the 2040 Development Plan and go to the Appendix and pay attention to the checklist of contributors that supplied suggestions and enter in adopting the plan. Evaluate the checklist and ask those that participated to observe the plan. This was not a Development Plan that was adopted 20 years in the past, this has been inside the final 5-7 years. Pull open your search engine and sort in 2040 Robertson County Development Plan. I’d additionally like to ask you to Google Robertson County Planning and Zoning and also you’ll discover the Ordinances which clearly present the 2040 Development Plan related to them.
Our neighborhood has not been within the hair splitting enterprise. We name R20 what it’s: Excessive Density. We name this subdivision what it’s: a Mega Subdivision for our neighborhood. We name this proposed rezoning and push to construct this growth in any respect prices what it’s, irresponsible.
This isn’t a battle in opposition to development, it is a battle for the proper development; accountable development. This can be a battle to make sure that the neighborhood you like and need to come again to continues to be recognizable. If you happen to keep in mind excessive density housing and mega subdivisions as what Cedar Hill was, you then’re mistaken. That is about the way forward for our neighborhood. I pray each day and nightly that you simply’ll get the chance to return again and be a part of us right here in Cedar Hill and I additionally pray that if and whenever you get that chance, it’ll have the identical small city, rural really feel that you simply keep in mind it having. I can’t envision myself dwelling amongst a Mega Subdivision with doubtlessly 175 properties round me and having the ability to acknowledge the place I’m. Maybe you’ve the identical imaginative and prescient of Cedar Hill that the builders have, however that isn’t the imaginative and prescient of the Cedar Hill neighborhood.
Our neighborhood is the place we meet across the picnic tables and have some scrumptious meals throughout a Cedar Hill Farmers Market after which go and help our distributors. Our neighborhood is one the place we get to see one another and catch up throughout lots of the superior occasions that we’ll be placing collectively. Our neighborhood is one the place we pull over for farm equipment and tractors as Farmers transfer from farm to farm and subject to subject. Our neighborhood is the place you stumble upon your neighbor on the retailer whereas your grabbing a hamburger or bologna sandwich to go. Our neighborhood is the place you’ll discover aspect by sides parked at Greenback Common. Our neighborhood is one the place we take care of each other and our neighborhood and can unite to say no to Excessive Density Housing and Mega Subdivisions and ask that we get the proper and accountable development. That’s our neighborhood and if you wish to come again to that, Cedar Hill is right here and I hear there’s some R40 land that’s prepared for growth.
Cedar Hill has not shunned this development to stay the identical or as a result of we don’t need any development. The far majority of the parents that I’ve spoken to are for accountable development.
I firmly consider that our native representatives (together with myself) will help those that entrusted us with the very proper to symbolize them. I’ve gotten to know lots of them and I’ve seen the identical servant hearts that I hope others can see in me. Our neighborhood has not despatched combine indicators. We have now not spoken out each side of our mouth. We name it as it’s. We’ve all heard the phrase “you may put lipstick on a pig, but it surely’s nonetheless a pig.” The builders can name a excessive density subdivision medium density, but it surely’s nonetheless excessive density. If you happen to don’t consider me, Google it and go to our county planning and zoning ordinances and scroll all the way down to your R-20 & R-40 Classifications and see which one can be acceptable. God bless Robertson County and God Bless the Metropolis and Group of Cedar Hill.
Sincerely,
John Edwards
Metropolis Commissioner/ Vice Mayor
