NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY:

Section 1. That Title 17 of the Code of Laws of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, is hereby amended by changing the Official Zoning Map for Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County, which is made a part of Title 17 by reference, as follows:

By making applicable to property at 3200 Earhart Road, abutting the west side of Earhart Road and the north side of John Hager Road (117.92 acres), classified AR2a and proposed for R15, the provisions of a Planned Unit Development District, to permit the development of 192 single-family detached lots and 98 duplex lots, as being Property Parcel No. 34 as designated on Map 98 of the Official Property Identification Maps of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, all of which is described by lines, words and figures on the plan that was duly considered by the Metropolitan Planning Commission, and which is on file with the Metropolitan Planning Department and made a part of this ordinance as though copied herein.

Section 2. Be it further enacted, that the Metropolitan Clerk is hereby authorized and directed, upon the enactment and approval of this ordinance, to cause the change to be made on Sheet No. 98 of said Official Zoning Map for Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County, as set out in Section 1 of this ordinance, and to make notation thereon of reference to the date of passage and approval of this amendatory ordinance.

Section 3. Be it further enacted, that the following conditions be made part of the ordinance approval:

1. Prior to final PUD approval, a greater amount of connectivity must be provided between the attached homes and the detached homes via vehicular or pedestrian connections. If only required to provide better pedestrian linkages between the attached homes and the rest of the development, the paths must be a minimum of 4 feet wide, lighted, and clearly marked as such.

2. Prior to final PUD approval, all internal pedestrian paths, excluding public sidewalks, because of their standard construction requirements, shall be a minimum of 4 feet in width and either paved or constructed with a permanent material such as pea gravel with railroad lumber edges. Since the attached units are marketed towards the elderly demographic, a “main” trail shall be established between the attached units and the amenities center that is paved and lighted.

3. Prior to final PUD approval, the developer shall determine what areas of the entire pedestrian path may create potential safety concerns, such as areas that lack visibility from adjacent homes, and shall light these areas of the path.

4. Prior to final PUD approval, the applicant must work with the Planning Department and the Public Works Department to find the best terminus / intersection locations for the proposed pedestrian paths.

5. Prior to final plat recordation, all traffic mitigation recommendations provided by the Public Works Department shall be completed or bonded with the appropriate performance agreement, including the following:

· Construct realigned John Hager Road as collector cross-section with wide outside lanes (WOL) per the Strategic Plan for Bikeways.

· Provide continuous center turn lane on new section of John Hager Rodd with 75 feet of dedicated storage for eastbound left turns at streets A, D, and E. Provide 150 feet of dedicated storage for eastbound left turns at the intersection with Earhart Road.

· Provide 2 exit lanes and 1 entering lane for street D at intersection with John Hager Road.

· Trails shall intersect roadways at street intersections.

Section 4. Be it further enacted, that this ordinance take effect immediately after its passage and such change be published in a newspaper of general circulation, the welfare of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County requiring it.
