Residents press commissioners over active 'stop work' at sawmill and urge support for animal control facility
Summary
During public forum, residents asked commissioners to enforce a stop-work order at a Bearwallow Road sawmill and several speakers urged creation of an animal control facility and a select Animal Control Committee.
At the April 17 Cheatham County legislative meeting, multiple public commenters urged the commission to take action on local health and code issues.
Susan Dietch of the 2nd district asked commissioners to "address the ‘stop work order’ for the sawmill on Bearwallow Road owned by Vance Mayo that is still operating," saying the matter remained unresolved in the community. The minutes record the request as public comment; no formal follow-up action was recorded during the meeting.
Alexa Bessler, owner of the Spay and Neuter Clinic, spoke in favor of establishing an animal control facility, volunteered to serve on the proposed Animal Control Committee and explicitly requested that Commissioner Eugene O. Evans, Sr. not serve on that committee. The Calendar, Rules and Nominating Committee later recommended creating a 10-member select committee for Animal Control (six commissioners, one representative from the mayor’s office and three constituents); selection of members was referred back to that committee.
Leonard Lewis used the public-comment time to explain his rezoning request for property at 2301 Old Clarksville Pike; the legislative body later approved that zone change. Sandra Gregory (4th district) announced Relay for Life and a Cruise In scheduled for May 6.
Public forum opened at 6:48 P.M. and closed at 7:03 P.M.; the minutes record these concerns and announcements without further debate or an immediate administrative directive.
