Key outcomes

- Resolution 25-4-8: Approved (roll call recorded as \"25 and 0\"). Description: One-time Wilson County Board of Education budget amendment 25-11.

- Resolution 25-4-9: Approved (roll call recorded as \"25 and 0\"). Description: One-time Wilson County Board of Education budget amendment 25-12.

- Resolution 25-4-10: Approved (roll call recorded as \"25 and 0\"). Description: Appropriation from AgCenter Fund 124 to AgCenter.

- Resolution 25-4-11: Approved (roll call recorded as \"24 yes, 1 abstain\"). Description: Appropriation from highway/public works fund to road commission.

- Resolution 25-4-12: Approved (roll call recorded as \"25 and 0\"). Description: Additional appropriation from AgCenter Fund 124 to AgCenter.

- Appointment: The commission unanimously confirmed Corey Bueller as director (committee reported the committee voted for him over other applicants; the record reflects unanimous confirmation).

- Zoning resolution (A1 lot-size amendment, resolution 25-4-7): Tabled by roll-call vote (recorded as 13 yes); a separate public hearing and debate on that measure preceded the tabling (see separate coverage).

Context and procedure: Several of the budget items were taken with little debate; the clerk recorded the roll-call counts as stated above. The appointment for the director position was made by the interviewing committee and then confirmed by the full commission; Commissioner John Gentry presented the committee’s nomination of Corey Bueller and the commission voted to confirm him unanimously.

What this means: The approved appropriations add one-time budget changes for the Board of Education and funding for AgCenter operations, and the road commission appropriation passed with one recorded abstention. The tabling of the A1 lot-size resolution leaves that zoning question unresolved.

Votes recorded in the meeting minutes are reflected here as announced by the clerk at the meeting; the official roll-call record in the county minutes should be consulted for certified tallies.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wilson County Commission - April 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its April 21 meeting the Wilson County Commission approved multiple budget amendments and appropriations, confirmed an appointment for the director position, and recorded the tabling of a zoning resolution.","taxTitle","Wilson County, Tennessee","taxId",19117,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6266031,"Wilson County Commission tables proposal to shrink A1 minimum lot size from 80,000 to 60,000",956,657000,1613000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3087771-70460612be8495932c8a0984496f1769&start=657&end=1613","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3087771-70460612be8495932c8a0984496f1769/thumbnail_657000.jpg","/articles/6266031/Wilson-County/Tennessee/Wilson-County-Commission-tables-proposal-to-shrink-A1-minimum-lot-size-from-80000-to-60000","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6266031-b736bcd3f8f54bc8ece0f14197dc39ea/orig.mp4?Expires=1771168673&Signature=ccbids5NztZLVRXO7IwgGXjqQpa42-8DaYinAOep2yHP50AKHftL5jIj6UqFfRB1qZqa20rcz5jM9GR2WhhSmJXggbPbH5RN7E4dVDNfQ309payFR-vN~abLILHNm5W4lzEE0ABCCCT0CO4ZFS-9UIUkEALmEFUcKSAWFqTplc2STP4ymCpwnTNb5WrUAT-MEKhjnN0Q4LB~GTCD-THmTw0ZEDLUdMa9XD~Ess0HN3jD32Am6HPyJjFPc5NahIgTvMxXNwAwhiZrkTBSG6LDFXifntnoCzA0AMqffpYV9NHEvF5I0t~cJPKOjbLTmtILWAgq6fthLglRTdxJMaxexw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wilson County Commission on April 21 tabled a resolution that would have amended the county zoning ordinance to change the A1 (agricultural) minimum lot size from 80,000 square feet to 60,000 square feet.

The move came after a public hearing in which multiple residents urged the commission to retain the larger lot standard. \"I like the larger lot size at 80000,\" said Perry Neil of Murphy Lane. Derek Johnson told commissioners he had attended the Planning Commission meeting and, after hearing the discussion, said, \"I'm hell bent against this.\" Ken Young, a long-time A1 resident, urged commissioners to consider water-system performance and enforcement, saying in part, \"Reducing lot sizes in A1 is a very consequential decision.\" He cited enforcement orders and oversight by state agencies as reasons the county should be cautious.

Why it matters: the change would allow smaller lots in rural/agricultural areas, which proponents argue can help with water and wastewater service expansion and development; opponents worry it will accelerate subdivision-style growth and strain infrastructure and existing rural character.

Planning staff briefed the commission that the item originated with Planning and Zoning and the Planning Commission. The staff presentation clarified that the specific motion on the floor would, if approved, amend the A1 zone minimum from 80,000 square feet back to 60,000 square feet. Commissioners discussed the Planning Commission and Planning & Zoning Committee recommendations; the Planning Commission had not recommended approval, and the Planning & Zoning Committee likewise offered no amendment, so the draft returned to the commission at 60,000 square feet as presented.

Commissioner Bobby Franklin moved to defer consideration for one month; that motion was seconded and then amended on the floor to a motion to table the resolution indefinitely. The commission voted to table the resolution; the clerk recorded the roll call as 13 yes and the resolution was tabled.

Commissioners who spoke during the debate emphasized differing priorities: some commissioners said they had received constituent resistance to the change in rural districts and favored maintaining the larger minimums; others noted the county must balance growth, water and wastewater service plans, and development pressure. Planning staff noted that an A1 lot has a 30% lot coverage rule, which affects typical house sizes (staff said a 60,000-square-foot lot could accommodate roughly a 20,000-square-foot footprint at 30% coverage, as an example of how coverage rules and lot size interact).

Public-comment themes: five residents spoke during the hearing, all urging retention of the larger lot size. Concerns raised included: preservation of rural character, adequacy and past performance of water and wastewater systems, and the Planning Commission’s prior reluctance to recommend the change.

What happened next: by tabling the resolution, the commission removed the item from immediate consideration; it can be brought back only if a commissioner moves to take it off the table under commission rules. No new ordinance or zoning map change was adopted at the April 21 meeting.

Ending note: Commissioners indicated the topic had generated substantial neighborhood interest and that the Planning Commission’s prior position and state water-agency interactions were key context for any future action.","After a public hearing with several residents urging the commission to keep larger rural lots, the Wilson County Commission tabled a resolution that would have reduced the A1 (agricultural) minimum lot size from 80,000 square feet to 60,000 square feet.","actionData","errors"]
