An ordinance to amend Title 17 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws, the Zoning Ordinance of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, by changing from AR2a to RS10 district properties at 5869, 5917, 5937, 5943 Pettus Road and Pettus Road (unnumbered) located 1,500 feet north of Old Hickory Boulevard, (59.15 acres), all of which is described herein (Proposal No. 2004Z-120G-12).

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 changing from AR2a to RS10 district properties at 5869, 5917, 5937, 5943 Pettus Road and Pettus Road (unnumbered) located 1,500 feet north of Old Hickory Boulevard, (59.15 acres), being Property Parcel Nos. 141, 142 as designated on Map 182 and Parcel Nos. 008, 120 and part of 191 as designated on Map 174 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 attached sketch, which is attached to 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.182 and 174 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 Pubic Works conditions be bonded or constructed prior any final plat recordation for this property:

1. In order to optimize traffic operations and safety at the site access point on Pettus Road install a left turn lane. The left turn lane should include 100 feet of storage and transitions designed to AASHTO standards.

2. Field observations indicate that sight distance is restricted at the proposed location of the project access on Pettus Road. The project access is proposed to be located at the high point of a crest vertical curve on Pettus Road. However, there is an additional vertical curve located on either side of this primary hillcrest. If the project access is located at the high point of the primary hillcrest, sight distance will be limited to the south by the additional vertical curve that is located just to the south of the project access. In order to alleviate this problem, it is recommended that the vertical curve south of the project access be lowered so that sight distance in accordance with AASHTO criteria can be provided. This will require reconstruction of this section of the road. In addition to the lowering of the vertical curve, it is recommended that Pettus Road south of the project access be widened to provide a standard rural road cross-section with lane widths of 12 feet with 4 feet shoulders.

This widening should extend south of the project access to the beginning of the left turn lane, or to the point where Pettus Road is recommended to be reconstructed to lower the vertical curve, whichever is greater.

3. In addition to the improvements identified above, it is recommended that Pettus Road be widened north of the project access to provide a rural road cross-section with lane widths of 12 feet and 4 feet shoulders. This widening should extend along the entire frontage of the project site.

4. All construction plans are subject to review and final approval by Public Works. Public Works reserves the right to make additional conditions subject to final review and approval of the development plans and the TIS.

5. Any future development of the property must include the three required street connections shown in the Southeast Community Plan 2004 Update.

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.
