The committee voted 9-0 to approve the consent agenda after removing a small number of items for separate consideration. Items read into the record included multiple resolutions approving preliminary engineering agreements with CSX Transportation, cooperative purchasing and rental-equipment agreements for the Department of Water and Sewer Services, intergovernmental agreements with the Tennessee Department of Transportation for resurfacing and pavement repair, licenses for maintenance of public art in state right-of-way, and authorizations to accept new public sanitary sewer mains and manholes for properties in Davidson and Williamson counties.

Item removed from consent (and later considered): RS 2025-1160, a resolution authorizing the Department of Water and Sewer Services to enter into construction and pipeline-crossing license agreements with R. J. Corman Railroad Company and Nashville & Eastern Railroad to construct and maintain multiple pipelines in a railroad right of way. Metro Water staff explained this project parallels an existing line that extends to the city of La Vergne and that the new pipeline replaces an older line; staff said the extents of where the city’s system ends and the adjacent county begins were not fully explained in the meeting record. The resolution was moved, seconded and approved; the committee recorded the vote as 9 in favor, 0 against, 0 not voting.

The committee also recommended approval of several sewer-acceptance and abandonment ordinances: acceptance of public sanitary sewer mains and manholes for properties at 108 Glen Rose Avenue and 2183 Kidd Road (Williamson County), acceptance of new mains and easements at Whites Creek Pike and Knight Drive (Bounty Club Phase 1b), and abandonment of sanitary sewer mains and easements at 2807 Grand View Drive (Paddle Hoss). Each of these items was read into the record and recommended for approval by voice vote as shown in the committee record.

Two proposed renamings — an ordinance to rename an unimproved portion of Tony Road to Lillard Lane (BL 2025-57780/3) and an ordinance to rename a portion of Alley 1892 to Frankie Alley (BL 2025-5783) — were each deferred one meeting at the sponsor’s request; both deferrals recorded 9 in favor, 0 against.

Rebecca Doan of Metro Water Services’ stormwater department told the committee the amendment would 1) extend the contract term and 2) replace a requirement that tree recipients show proof of residency with a provision allowing any property located within Metro Nashville and Davidson County to receive trees. Doan said the change was intended to allow properties — not only named residents — within the county to benefit from trees planted under the program.

Councilmember Rowley asked for a reminder of the amendment’s substance; Councilmember Brown said he supports the program and asked whether the grant obligates the city to spend all allocated funds on tree planting or whether funds could be used for other canopy-preservation work. Metro Water staff replied that spending the grant on land preservation rather than direct planting would require a change to the code.

The committee first voted to approve the proposed amendment (9-0). The bill then moved as amended and was recommended for approval by the committee in a second recorded vote (9-0).

Discussion vs. decision: the amendment was discussed and approved as procedural changes to the grant contract; the committee did not change the underlying code during this meeting. The deputy director clarified allowable uses would require code changes.

The resolution, sponsored by Councilmember Truffle, asked Metro Water and planning staff to update infill guidance and the manual’s treatment of trees and multifamily development. Truffle said the changes respond to larger homes and denser development that increase impervious cover and runoff, and noted that a single mature street tree can retain “5 to 6,000 gallons of water” for a 20-inch diameter trunk.

Councilmembers said they needed better alignment between the manual and current city code before approving revisions. Councilmember Evans Siegel questioned whether the manual’s residential-infill rules apply beyond one- and two-family dwellings; Metro Water staff replied that the current infill language was written for one- and two-family units and that recent development patterns — parcels under the grading-permit threshold producing three or more units — had exposed a gap. Steve Michoud of Metro Water Services said that the manual’s infill provisions were originally tailored \"for one- to two-family dwelling units\" and that the proposed update would close a loophole allowing some multi-unit projects to avoid infill regulation.

Councilmember Seacole pointed to an existing code provision (chapter 15.64) she said requires a grading permit for developments of three or more units, and asked staff to reconcile that section with the infill language. Seacole moved to defer the resolution one meeting so that Planning and Metro Water could meet the committee together and align the manual with the relevant code sections and the Housing and Neighborhoods Infrastructure (HNI) study; the motion passed 9-0.

Discussion vs. decision: the committee did not adopt the proposed manual revisions; members directed staff to return with Planning and Metro Water present to resolve how the infill manual language intersects with the stormwater code (chapter 15.64) and grading-permit thresholds.

Next steps: Metro Water and Planning were asked to appear at the next committee meeting to present the reconciled language and any relevant analysis from the HNI study. The committee’s deferral vote was recorded as 9 in favor, 0 against, 0 not voting.

","The Transportation & Infrastructure Committee deferred a resolution asking Metro Water to revise the stormwater management manual to address residential infill and tree credits. Councilmembers asked for legal and planning staff to clarify how the rules apply to multi-unit development before the item returns.","actionData","errors"]
