Residents raise runoff concerns, veterans memorial groundbreaking set at Cheatham County public forum
Summary
During the Feb. 24 public forum, a resident warned that a recently approved subdivision could worsen runoff on New Hope Road; others announced a veterans memorial groundbreaking and expressed support for a Second Amendment resolution.
Several members of the public spoke during the Feb. 24 public forum at the Cheatham County Legislative Body meeting, bringing local land-use and community-organizing items to the commission’s attention.
Jim Smith of the 2nd District told commissioners he was concerned about stormwater runoff on New Hope Road and said he believed a Planning Commission-approved subdivision on Cotton Harris Road could exacerbate the problem. The minutes record Smith asking commissioners to “carefully consider who they appoint to the Board of Equalization,” linking land-use oversight and local appointments.
John Nichols invited the public to attend the groundbreaking for the Cheatham County Veterans Memorial Park on April 18 at 1:00 p.m. Clate Reed spoke in favor of a county resolution supporting the Second Amendment. Youth Leadership members were introduced by Ronnie Barron and Sierra Knaus.
The minutes do not show a formal response to the runoff concern during the meeting; administrative follow-up by planning or county public works is not recorded in the minutes.
The public forum closed at 6:09 p.m., and the meeting proceeded to formal business.
