Chris Sandy, who identified himself as the owner of a building at 720 South Body Street, said heavy recent storms caused flooding that reached multiple areas of his business — \"40% of my building ... 10 inches of water in my shop,\" he said in the meeting. Sandy told council he has been in repeated contact with Randy Lansing and that runoff from nearby parking lots and retention ponds is dumping onto his property. He said his insurer told him he now needs flood insurance and that he is compiling a list of losses to share with the town.

Another resident, Greg Boyd (616 Sanibel Drive), urged the council to expand the town’s noise ordinance beyond the current 10 p.m.–6 a.m. quiet hours to cover daytime excessive noise from live music and motorcycles. Boyd suggested designated areas for amplified entertainment. Council members responded by asking staff to confirm the town’s current ordinance language: one councilmember noted the ordinance already prohibits noise that \"interrupt[s] the quiet enjoyment of someone's use of their property,\" while another said enforcement may be limited absent a formal complaint.

Council directed staff to follow up on both matters: investigate the source and capacity of the stormwater infrastructure near Body Street and clarify how the noise ordinance is phrased and enforced. Public works staff reported crews had cleaned intakes near Body Street and that the constriction under the railroad is likely the bottleneck requiring a capital project to add capacity.

Staff said the vendor — a home-service company based in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania — proposed two products: a leak-protection program and a service-line warranty program. Following a customer poll, 15 customers responded; 11 expressed interest and 4 not interested. Given the modest response, staff recommended the town offer the warranty program as an opt-in service.

Under the council’s approval, the program will be offered as an optional item the customer can sign up for directly with the company; the town will include notice on water bills that the program is available but will not automatically enroll customers. The vendor offered the town the option to receive a small share of monthly premiums or instead to permit a discount in customer rates; council members agreed not to accept vendor revenue to avoid the appearance the town would profit from the program.

Council emphasized this is an optional service; customers who do not want it will not be enrolled or charged. The program will not cost the town; if customers opt in they will pay the vendor directly via the sign-up process described on the bill.

Quote from staff: \"Due to the limited interest, what we're suggesting ... is to offer the water and sewer service line warranty program. That's completely optional,\" Randy said.","After a resident poll yielded limited interest, the council approved making an optional service-line warranty and leak-protection program available to Nashville water and sewer customers as an opt-in billed item on utility statements.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6120926,"Renewal of Glover Park interlocal agreement tabled pending county input on splash-pad scheduling and cost sharing",122,3203000,3325000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2705150-e73ff700b22a1d4206400d564c703889&start=3203&end=3325","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2705150-e73ff700b22a1d4206400d564c703889/thumbnail_3203000.jpg","/articles/6120926/North-Carolina/Renewal-of-Glover-Park-interlocal-agreement-tabled-pending-county-input-on-splash-pad-scheduling-and-cost-sharing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6120926-6e557c673518375788485d65a0a35c13/orig.mp4?Expires=1771194457&Signature=mf6wFiTLtNhbePLqnSP9SEapslfL4qJmdFI7ReM5e92vh0N8KmfOdpqyrP3JYzuZmmn2QS1EmQl7vaenvCjyzvATy8p7m9iXkSkzqOUjMf3IKaG6kItxscYC8u7Fwv7c9PQt0IIhvyS-sfrN7iKKLRKECW4V4D4RFNSw3UmMysxfgY6rbJmI69svWNn-7AIma6tlM9Zw9SbtsnLnPchGaoFQzXTynQ2PALXj5Xw7GKWDgaP9Y48gdOVhPtZ3BVVFyuQ8bhCZuCJVFoPliWDzzdVnPIVKnqWRbOtaS8VqMkIP6aL1WFM~tjMyaKNdCJR0-WwvRPSWY7UIPl593WByiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nashville — Town staff presented a draft renewal of an interlocal agreement with Nash County governing operation and maintenance of Glover Park. The existing agreement coordinates maintenance and athletics programming between the Town of Nashville and Nash County; the draft renewal incorporates references to facilities planned as part of Glover Park Part F, specifically a splash pad and an adjacent picnic shelter.

Parks staff said the splash pad and shelter were intended to remain owned and managed by the town, and the proposed agreement reflects that intent while clarifying rental-fee arrangements. Council members raised questions about how splash-pad operation would interact with tournaments on the park fields: several tournaments run from March through November and some tournament days are effectively all-day events, they said. If tournaments coincide with public splash-pad usage, the council asked whether the water should be shut off for those tournament days or if the county would share water costs.

Thomas Gillespie of Nash County Recreation attended the meeting; county staff indicated they would need to review cost-sharing with their parks committee. Because the county had not committed to a position on water-cost sharing or splash-pad scheduling during tournaments, the council moved to table action on the interlocal agreement renewal until county responses were provided.

Council instructed staff to return the draft agreement once Nash County has replied to questions about scheduling and costs for tournament days and about removing a conflicting reference in the draft that appeared to include shelter rental fees that the town intended to retain.","Council reviewed a draft renewal of an interlocal agreement with Nash County for management of Glover Park; the draft includes language addressing a new splash pad and picnic shelter.

Developer David Combs told the council the subdivision was developed in 2007 by Mako Development. No homeowners were present for multiple attempts to form an HOA or attend annual meetings, he said; the HOA collected limited funds only after lots sold years later. Combs said the developer deeded the detention-pond lot to the HOA in 2022 but the HOA has not been active.

Town staff inspected the retention pond and reported vegetation and several trees had grown up in the basin and along its sides. Public works staff said the basin is functioning and that a prior storm-sewer upgrade to Windy Oak and Laurel Springs Drive reduced local flooding; the basin still needs tree removal and cleanup.

Council approved the developer’s request that the town take responsibility for the pond and accept the HOA’s remaining balance (noted in the meeting at about $760) to offset cleanup. Staff and council directed public works to perform an initial cleanup so the town takes the property in a “clean slate” condition; council discussed that future routine maintenance could be incorporated into the town’s mowing and drainage schedules.

Council members emphasized this action is a unique circumstance tied to the subdivision’s long delay in build-out and repeated unsuccessful attempts to activate the HOA. The motion passed by voice vote.

Council asked staff to provide a scope and cost estimate for the initial cleanup and an estimate of annual maintenance hours and costs to include in upcoming budget discussions.

Quotes from the meeting: \"We did create a HOA to maintain the retention pond ... but no one responded,\" David Combs said. Councilmember (unnamed in record) said, \"I don't have any problem with us taking over the property, but I do think that before we do that, we need to be given a clean slate.\"","Developer David Combs told council a homeowners association never took responsibility for a retention pond tied to Birchwood Homes; the council voted to accept ownership and maintenance, with an HOA account balance transferred to the town to help cover cleanup.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6120934,"Council approves rezoning, subdivision plats, special-event permits and makes several administrative approvals",107,788000,895000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2705150-e73ff700b22a1d4206400d564c703889&start=788&end=895","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2705150-e73ff700b22a1d4206400d564c703889/thumbnail_788000.jpg","/articles/6120934/North-Carolina/Council-approves-rezoning-subdivision-plats-special-event-permits-and-makes-several-administrative-approvals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6120934-afb0a6da9702a7ca55396115ba2d0c18/orig.mp4?Expires=1771194457&Signature=OfNVpo8~NuqqRE2gPF2rTXbE4Riid1kJfPvMW4V96jDtR2aeL27Wj0WEwuDUeL4uHnVtBcyoTD-qQEUG0hirgeru5lD7Bvg1B12Ag0QR5nuqu7COmFL2marSu53UtcBNHVvUxdZuvhN81RZ-LSZ-ILAhFA1o2Elgove4sKx1sUjnLPnko~TPy4NCIYsqwMkQIk40Jd0PD6CQQsIHgjkXzi0XgPEmxrLabCNhUm4F0x~rgATDWSXiEvZRiHjnKydiSRkvGhFFpCGTQ-kwpBnCg15KpkXOECvCUoJQZ-yNMvOI9n1T8D8sn2zt7TCJ1FlnKENhgRaBEv0EMOYe0Qtx~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nashville — The Town of Nashville Town Council approved a set of ordinances, plats and permits at its daytime meeting, including a conditional rezoning for the Nashville Junction site and approval of final plats for Cardinal Woods phases 2 and 3. The council also authorized special-event permits for the 2025 festival season, accepted a clerk’s certification of sufficiency for a school annexation petition and appointed a new member to the planning board.

The council said the actions were routine approvals needed to keep development and events on schedule. The rezoning and subdivision decisions will allow commercial uses at 723 Barnes Street and let developer Starlight Homes proceed with construction in Cardinal Woods, respectively. The council also approved the town’s series of special events including the Bloomin Festival, the farmers market season, the Halloween Trick-or-Treat Street and the children’s Christmas bike parade.

The most substantive votes taken by the council today were:

- Ordinance 2025-13 (conditional rezoning) — approved. The ordinance conditionally rezones the Nashville Junction property at 723 Barnes Street to permit a list of specified commercial and institutional uses as read into the minutes. Council recorded the motion and voiced approval; no roll-call tally was read into the record.

- Final plat and resolution for Cardinal Woods Subdivision Phases 2 and 3 (FP2025-01; Resolution 2025-03) — approved. Planning staff reported the planning board approved the final plat. The council voted to accept the final plat and a resolution accepting ownership of water, sewer, storm sewer and streets within the subdivision.

- Special-event permits for 2025 (Bloomin Festival May 7–10, farmers market series, Oct. 24 Halloween event, Dec. 6 children’s bike parade) — approved following a public hearing. Staff described vendor layouts, live music plans and a social-district cup/sticker approach for on-site alcohol.

- Certification of sufficiency for the Nash County Board of Education annexation petition and resolution to set a public hearing — council accepted the town clerk’s certificate of sufficiency and set a public hearing for April 8 at 7 p.m.

- Planning board appointment — the council appointed Ted Davis to fill the remainder of Ann Collier’s term on the planning board.

Several items were tabled for additional information: a facade grant application for 125–127 West Washington Street (applicant asked to supply color photographs and design sketches), and a draft renewal of an interlocal agreement related to Glover Park pending additional detail from Nash County on splash-pad scheduling and costs.

Council members also approved routine meeting minutes and several procedural items. Where the minutes do not record a roll-call tally, the record shows motions were made and approved by voice vote.

Votes at a glance (items recorded in the meeting packet and minutes): Nashville Junction rezoning — approved; Cardinal Woods final plat and acceptance of infrastructure — approved; Special events permits (Bloomin Festival, farmers market, Halloween Trick-or-Treat Street, Children’s bike parade) — approved; Planning board appointment (Ted Davis) — approved; Clerk’s certification of sufficiency and setting of annexation hearing for Nash Central Middle School — accepted/set.

The council noted several items will return for final documents or further clarification, including the facade grant application and details from Nash County on splash-pad operations and potential cost-sharing for tournament days.","At a daytime meeting the Nashville Town Council approved a conditional rezoning for the Nashville Junction site, final plats for Cardinal Woods phases 2 and 3, a bundle of special-event permits for the 2025 festival season, and several administrative items including a planning-board appointment.
