Please Help Our Neighborhood Smith Springs Road Neighbors

I am writing to ask you for your help. I am working very hard to reach as many people as possible over the next few days to stop what is a clear attempt to circumvent our area with a decision that is the opposite of what we were promised by our councilperson and what was recently upheld by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission did the right thing by disapproving the zone change because in 2004 when the barber shop property was rezoned, we were promised by the construction of the wall that no further commercial, sp, industrial or anything other than residential would be allowed beyond the wall. Now we have the same person who owns the barber shop trying to get special treatment and I am at a loss why he is being given special treatment over the will of the people who live in our area by our outgoing councilperson, but we need District 29's help to please stop this zone change so that our neighborhood is not affected by some high volume of activity unbenownst to us.


Please, send an email if you get any time to the following:


Councilmembers@nashville.gov

I have drafted a statement that can be used in the body of your email. Please call me if you have any questions. We really appreciate your time and your help in this very important matter. The barber has been getting people from LaVergne, Smyrna and in other parts of Nashville to send emails to the council to help him. Please do not allow people outside our community to sway the minds of the metro council in this unfair, unjust rezoning change. Thank you.

My name is _______________________ I am in "Opposition" of Zone Change 2011SP-017-001. The wall that was placed on Mr. Keith Jordan’s property next to the proposed property to be changed was agreed upon to be the stopping point of any further commercial, sp, or industrial type zoning. The property in question is to remain residential. Please Vote “NO” in opposition to the rezoning on third reading. Thank you.


WE NEED YOUR PRESENCE ALSO AT TUESDAY'S METRO COUNCIL MEETING. WEAR RED. THE MEETING IS AT 6 PM AT THE METRO CITY COURTHOUSE DOWNTOWN AT 100 Metro Courthouse
