Columbia Avenue Resurfacing Begins 7/9 A pre-construction meeting occurred last week for the resurfacing of Columbia Avenue from the West Harpeth River to Battle Avenue, excluding the new intersection work at Parkway Commons. This is a TDOT project contracted to Lojac Enterprises, Inc. It is scheduled to begin on July 9 and last approximately 30 days. Work hours are weekdays 9 am to 4 pm. The Lojac construction manager has indicated that they may request night or weekend work. There will be lane shifts and lane closure delays during construction. I would highly recommend avoiding Columbia Avenue during this process if at all possible.   Planning Commission for Tonight Rezonings and Rezonings/Concept Plans 1. Ordinance to rezone .43 acres from High Residential (HR) to Neighborhood Commercial (NC) located at 221 Lewisburg Avenue. Staff recommends disapproval. 2. Ordinance to rezone 51.09 acres from General Office (GO) to Planned Residential (PR 5.34) and approve the concept plan for Creekstone Commons located at Creekstone Boulevard and South Royal Oaks Boulevard. Staff recommends postponement due to deficiencies in the application. Land Use Plan Amendments 1. Request by Pam Lewis to revise the Goose Creek Character Area, Special Area 2, from being appropriate for a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) and Transit Oriented Development (TOD) design concept to a Rural/Conservation design concept and to designate this area as a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) sending area.

We actually concluded detailed review of the draft ordinance. We will have one more called meeting next month, most likely July 24, to review all of the recommended changes in a singular document. This will be followed by three readings at BOMA with the suggestion that a public hearing be scheduled as a special meeting for this purpose only to provide ample time for public input. Stay tuned.
