Residents raise infrastructure concerns as Clarion Homes presents Horseshoe Road rezoning
Summary
Public commenters opposed a proposed Clarion Homes rezoning on Horseshoe Road over flooding, narrow roads and emergency access; Clarion Homes representatives said soils are suitable for septic, the firm will widen 750 feet of Horseshoe Road and estimate infrastructure improvements of $80,000–$100,000; no final action was recorded in the transcript.
Clarion Homes representatives presented a rezoning request for property on Horseshoe Road and answered public concerns at the Robertson County Commission public hearing. Rachel Teal, identified as a co-owner of Clarion Homes, said the developer commissioned a soil scientist who determined the lots are suitable for private septic systems, that water availability is being verified with White House Utility District, and that the company proposes to widen approximately 750 feet of Horseshoe Road and install a right-turn/deceleration lane. Teal estimated those infrastructure improvements would cost between $80,000 and $100,000 and said the county's 2040 growth plan alignment and school district outreach indicate about 22 students across grades are expected from the neighborhood.
Several neighbors opposed the rezoning at the hearing. Abigail Frost, who said she lives about a mile from the proposed development, warned that approval could encourage additional nearby rezoning requests and said local infrastructure and flooding on Lewton Way cannot support additional homes; Terry Payne described repeated traffic incidents on Calista/Horseshoe Road and said emergency access and narrow road width heighten safety concerns. The transcript records the public hearing and extensive comment and description of the developer's commitments; no final vote outcome on this specific rezoning is recorded in the available transcript excerpt.
