Votes at a glance: Collierville BMA approves subdivision agreement, contracts and rezoning on April 28, 2025

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen of Collierville on April 28 took final or procedural votes on several items, including a development agreement for McCandless Subdivision, a contract renewal for Neptune water meters, an award for facility flooring replacement, an ordinance to rezone the Blaylock and Brown property and a preliminary site plan for Water Tower District Phase 2. Most votes were unanimous or carried by recorded roll call.

Why this matters: Those approvals advance residential construction, infrastructure spending and the town’s adopted development plans. Several items — particularly the Water Tower District site plan and the rezoning — drew extended public comment and follow-up questions about environmental, traffic and neighborhood impacts.

Key actions and outcomes (roll-call tallies as recorded in meeting minutes): - McCandless Subdivision development agreement (development agreement; waivers for street improvements and sidewalks): motion approved (roll call recorded as Yes votes by Stamps, Robbins, Hall, Jordan, Marshall and Mayor Fraser). Developer to dedicate right-of-way; three-lot subdivision on 9.57 acres; no public sewer; private septic systems to be approved by the Shelby County Health Department; development fees $12,250 due prior to construction. - Sole-source contract amendment/renewal with Consolidated Pipe & Supply for Neptune meters and accessories (third amendment, second renewal): approved (roll call recorded as Yes votes by Robbins, Hall, Jordan, Marshall, Stamps and Mayor Fraser). Staff said the AMI project orders were placed before a tariff-related surcharge announced by Neptune. - Flooring contract award to Alexander Construction LLC for replacement at multiple town facilities (base bid with alternates): approved (roll call recorded as Yes votes by Hall, Jordan, Marshall, Stamps, Robbins and Mayor Fraser). Scope: flooring replacement at Police Headquarters, Fire Stations 3 and 5 and Fire Administration; alternates included. - Ordinance rezoning Blaylock and Brown property from R-1 (low-density residential) to FAR (forest agricultural residential) — second reading and public hearing: motion to advance passed on second reading (roll call recorded as Yes votes by Marshall, Stamps, Robbins, Hall, Jordan and Mayor Fraser). The matter will return for final reading (third reading) on May 12. - Preliminary site plan approval for Water Tower District Phase 2 (Shilling/Schilling Farms PD Phase 79): approved (roll call recorded as Yes votes by Marshall, Stamps, Robbins, Hall, Jordan and Mayor Fraser). Staff recommended approval subject to about 37 Planning Commission and Design Review Commission conditions; the vote followed extended public comment from adjacent homeowners about traffic, screening and dumpster location.

What the votes do not do: Several approvals vest rights for applicants to proceed toward final plats and construction permits, but the BMA and staff noted that final site-plan submissions and permit reviews will still be required to confirm details such as landscaping species, building materials and stormwater measures. The library expansion discussed during public comment was not the subject of a formal vote at this meeting.

Next steps: Several items (notably the rezoning) will return on scheduled subsequent readings or in final-plan filings; staff will follow up on conditions set by the Planning and Design Review commissions.
