Betty Newman, a longtime Bartlett resident, described a narrow strip of land behind homes adjacent to the post office that she said is \"full of garbage,\" with fallen limbs that have damaged a neighbor's privacy fence and prevented an autistic child from safely using the backyard. Newman said the sidewalk running along the post office is uneven and unsafe for children on bicycles.

City staff told Newman the code department would investigate property ownership and that they would reach out to the United States Postal Service about maintenance. A staff speaker asked residents to send an email with names and addresses so staff could forward the information and follow up. \"If y'all would before you, if you would just send me an email tomorrow with your names and your addresses on it, and I'll forward those on,\" the staff speaker said.

Staff acknowledged that some locations adjacent to the post office fall under federal jurisdiction and said they would act as intermediary to identify the appropriate USPS contact and return with information to the residents.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","April 22, 2025 - Board of Mayor and Aldermen Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Residents complained at the meeting about garbage, tree limbs and uneven sidewalks behind the post office on Shade Tree, raising safety concerns for children and accessibility.

\"They've received those notices now. They recognize that they've moved some dumpsters into place to take care of some of the debris piles out there. They've started spraying it,\" a staff speaker said, describing contact with the owner and the owner's son. \"Now it's not gonna be maintained as bent grass greens. You're not gonna have the smooth fairways, but it will be maintained to the standard of what grass should be for every residential property in City Of Bartlett.\"

Staff said some notices had been going to the lessee who ran the course rather than the actual owner, identified in the discussion as Mr. Wilder; the owner has since received the notices and acknowledged the maintenance schedule. City staff said they are in ongoing contact with the owner and that plans may be submitted to the city soon; officials did not describe the contents of any pending submittal. \"I won't be no apartments out there because everybody asked if there's gonna be more apartments out there. So, we don't know if it's still gonna be a golf course, or if it's gonna be single family housing, or if it's gonna be, a 9 hole golf course,\" the staff speaker said, adding the city is awaiting formal plans.

The city provided a contact number for residents with complaints and asked citizens to report maintenance issues to department staff.","City staff reported that the owner of Quail Ridge Golf Course has received notices, begun cleanup and scheduled mowing; staff said the property will be maintained at a basic residential standard but not to previous golf-course turf levels.

The board also appointed Don Conway and James Reid to the Planning Commission to fill two vacancies. Each appointment was moved and seconded on the floor and approved by the council.

Kim Taylor, director of Planning and Economic Development, told the board the property, the location of Birch's Automotive Repair Shop and a former plumbing shop, was annexed in December 2012 and was previously zoned CL (local/neighborhood commercial) under Shelby County. \"Under the existing zoning, the current uses are what we consider to be legal nonconforming,\" Taylor said. She said rezoning a 5-acre portion fronting Highway 70 to CH (Highway Business commercial) would make those uses conforming under Bartlett's ordinance while the roughly 5-acre portion fronting Memphis-Arlington Road would remain zoned RE (residential).

Taylor said the owner plans to subdivide the site and has received master and construction plan approval from the planning commission in July 2024; the owner will seek final plan approval from the planning commission if rezoning occurs. She told the board the rezoning would help the owner obtain financing to extend sewer service because the property currently uses a septic system.

Alderman Reese made the motion to approve the first reading and set the public hearing; Alderman Griffith seconded. The roll call vote was 5-0 in favor.

Resident Kathleen Bearden asked during public comment where the property is located; staff indicated John Horn could point it out after the meeting. The applicant's next step, should the council complete the process, is a final plan submittal to the planning commission.

If adopted following the public hearing and any subsequent action, the rezoning would allow existing commercial activity on the Highway 70 frontage to be conforming under Bartlett's zoning code and facilitate the sewer extension financing described by staff.","The Bartlett Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted 5-0 on the first reading of Ordinance 25-01 to rezone a 10-acre property at 8229 U.S. Highway 70, moving a 5-acre portion to CH (Highway Business) to make existing commercial uses conforming and to help the owner obtain financing for a sewer extension. The board set a public hearing for May 27.","actionData","errors"]
