Mayes Creek Basin is in the Eastern part of Williamson County. It is comprised of approximately 10,000 acres. It contains mostly homes with lots of open space. That is in danger of changing! The Mayes Creek Basin is in the City of Franklin's Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). Because of this, the guidelines for developing property within the UGB are different than what the guidelines are for property out of the UGB but still within Williamson County. That being said, the City of Franklin passed a resolution requesting a change to Envision Franklin and is asking the Planning Commission to vote on the change which will take 600 acres of land that is on Highway 96 East and change its designation from Developmental Reserve to Village Green. This means that instead of areas along the fringes of the Franklin UGB, that are characterized by agricultural uses, and single-family residential uses on significant acreage, it will have Townhomes, Duplexes, Multi-Family, Single-Family and Commercial development. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE to the residents that reside in the Mayes Creek Basin area. If you are against this growth, please complete the survey below.
I think it is an informative read to be prepared for the May 23rd Planning Commission Meeting https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/williamson/2018/06/29/franklin-backs-away-development-changes-mayes-creek-basin/742977002/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1GHT1qArbp6qBT-msYfG4xhyKdmIChuWbOglwBJlbzbjcUJ3nS83j0Ixw_aem_AZvjnRsgUOp2S_RJ2-p1qAUiFHShOz-w-3XPaH9_G08yHW1Go4F_YEBJ9peK7H7WZdh3gu0MOEObejqr5AzOTKBH

I am requesting that for the May 23 Franklin Municipal Planning Commission Meeting you refrain from bringing children. Although I am very proud of the children that spoke at the Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting and I think it is great that they get involved in community affairs, our speaking time will be very limited and it will be better served by allowing the adults to speak on matters that we hope will impact the members of the Commission to see that this is not a good idea for a lot of factual reasons rather than emotional ones. There are really serious concerns and those to be presented in the time allotted. Please don't take offense, that is not my intent. I'm just trying to state that the adults need every precious moment to get their factual information presented. Thank you for understanding.
