Why it matters: The committee tied the approval to conditions meant to protect county capacity from future unintended residential development: owners must sign an approval letter acknowledging that if the site reverts to noncommercial or residential use, the sewer access will be revoked. Staff also warned that the site will require a privately owned pump station to tie into the city force main, and applicants were urged to confirm the cost before paying the reservation fee.

Key facts and conditions
- Applicant and parcel: Jamie Gillespie identified himself as representing Cellcat Title Holdings (also referenced earlier in the meeting as Seal Cat Title Holdings). The property was described in staff materials as Map 122, Parcel 1.08, containing about 39.41 acres and listed in the committee packet as 299 Brewery Road (the transcript also variably referred to McQueen/McCray Place).
- Reservation request and fees: Staff reported a request for 5 SFUs of sewage flow; staff said the total fee for full build-out would be $150,000, with a 10% reservation fee of $15,000 due within 30 days of committee approval. The reservation was described as nonrefundable if capacity is not utilized within two years; the committee discussed a standard policy of a two-year reservation with one possible two-year extension tied to site-plan approval.
- Zoning and permitted use: Staff said the parcel is in a residential zoning district (R-2, about 39.5 acres) but that the Board of Zoning Appeals had approved a use on appeal to allow operation as a school. Committee members pressed for limiting language so that if the property later converted to residential use, the sewer capacity would revert to the county.
- Access and infrastructure: Staff and the applicant discussed a city utility map that showed no gravity sewer on the property; access would require a private wastewater pump station sized to connect to an existing force main. The applicant said he had spoken with the city’s engineers and believed a tie-in to the force main was feasible, but multiple committee members urged the applicant to confirm pump-station costs before paying the reservation fee to avoid future refund requests.

Committee action and documentation
- The committee approved the reservation with the following conditions: owners must sign an approval letter acknowledging the terms (including the reverter clause); staff will include any stipulations beyond the typical approval letter in the document; applicants should verify cost and feasibility of the required pump station before paying the reservation fee.
- The motion carried on a voice vote; the transcript records committee members saying “aye” but does not list a numerical roll-call tally.

Ending: Staff said it will prepare an approval letter containing the conditions and a signature block for the property owners; the applicant confirmed he would have his owners review and sign the document.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wilson County Sanitary Sewer Access Committee - September 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Wilson County Sewer Access Committee approved a two-year sewer reservation for Cellcat Title Holdings (project described as a school use), subject to a signed approval letter, reverter language barring residential conversion, and confirmation of pump-station costs to access the county force main.","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},6455751,"Wilson County committee approves $300,000 refund to Rollins family from sewer access reserve fund",269,89000,358000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5769167-5b14eb4bb2ca337e0df8a8f007db59f5&start=89&end=358","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5769167-5b14eb4bb2ca337e0df8a8f007db59f5/thumbnail_89000.jpg","/articles/6455751/Wilson-County/Tennessee/Wilson-County-committee-approves-300000-refund-to-Rollins-family-from-sewer-access-reserve-fund","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6455751-94a7a2aab05ae4308387015545586438/orig.mp4?Expires=1775111418&Signature=XcCGFKahAsm0bVr2YL5a8IyBwgYJoB0J5eJAKEpL4s9Sokxd31r7Hh8-nJ7ZYl-UBaLor7FPlTB3i7vU-q3ao1TbpL0cxVWtLa3mxKVvN~6hTDDb8fhj68DuqTbeClvMZo-gf0r1e9szZsB6805GYmxOd82LgaWi-jpjNnQJRKy-TZ~i8wAPJXA6yM2Vg46aht82fdcBtBzkQ5n6ZKj62Um8vWVA~iXjse0Q2U5sdWV1vVng9ABHX-aq0pV1RLitvDsD0d1Mfyx0Iwhdbq0zCGMeQz5Ufl0oHSnvK73gH1jniXzYjnHxF6irIn~4nag63dCz~lltvXjc8HxRZ~uKtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wilson County Sewer Access Committee voted to return $300,000 to the Rollins family, resolving a dispute over a $600,000 reservation fee paid for two parcels of land.

Committee members said the refund — approved by voice vote after an amendment — is conditional on documentation showing unusual circumstances and will be paid from the county’s sewer access reserve fund. The committee chair recorded the motion, and members answered “aye” when the amendment and final motion were called.

Why it matters: Committee members said they wanted to avoid setting an open-ended precedent for future refunds while recognizing that the Rollins family paid the fee in good faith and faced a denial letter that prevented the project from moving forward.

Details of the action and debate
- The committee discussed two proposals: one side asked for a $200,000 refund and the Rollins representatives asked for $300,000. The Rollins representative described the $300,000 request as their preferred settlement.
- A committee member moved to refund $300,000; another member amended the motion to specify the refund be paid from the sewer access reserve fund so other county accounts would not be affected. The amendment was accepted and the motion, as amended, carried on a voice vote (tally not specified in the transcript).
- Members emphasized that the approval was tied to the Rollins family providing a denial letter from the City of Lebanon and that the refund should “resolve this completely,” meaning the committee would consider the matter concluded if the refund were paid.

What committee members said
- A committee member who identified Samuel Jackson as one of the attorneys on the matter noted the two proposals “never crossed” and said either refund amount could be fair depending on circumstances. The Rollins representative said the family would accept $300,000 and asked the committee to approve that amount.
- Committee members also said they would reflect in the meeting minutes that the approval occurred without a particular member (Hatcher) present.

Procedural and follow-up notes
- Staff said the county could process the refund under its policies and indicated the refund could be completed within 30 days under the committee’s typical procedures.
- Committee members asked that the terms be documented and that the refund be treated as a full resolution of the matter, so future requests related to the same facts would not be granted on a similar basis.

Ending: The committee concluded the item, noting they hoped not to encounter the same set of circumstances again but that the Rollins family would be notified in writing once details were finalized.","The Wilson County Sewer Access Committee voted to refund $300,000 of a $600,000 reservation fee paid for the Rollins property, with members saying the circumstances were “unusual” and the refund will be paid from the sewer access reserve fund.","actionData","errors"]
