The subject area is a part of the Marymont Springs development located west of Rucker Lane and north of Windrow Road.

This PUD amendment request is limited to a 72 acre area; the entire Marymont Spring development is 660 acres. The purpose of the amendment is to allow the developer to change the lot size and housing type offered in the mansion area.

INTRODUCTION This application for an amendment to the Marymont Springs P.U.D. requests the following changes to the 3-18-07 amended plan.the three basic changes are: to change the lot/housing types within the Mansion Area; to relocate the swimming pool amenity area; and to designate the mansion and approximately 3.5 acres to become common area. In total Marymont Springs is a mixed use 660 acre development.the focal point of the community at this time is the Marymont Mansion built circa 1861 and has been preserved with the renovation of the first floor rooms. Marymont Springs is to provide a variety of housing choices, with a town center at the intersection of the future Veterans Parkway and realigned Rucker Lane creating a unique neighborhood where living, working and shopping intertwine. The Mansion Area will be marketed toward empty nesters but will not be exclusive to this group. Five lot types, two being alley loaded, are envisioned for this area.the streets in the Mansion Area will be private and gated.the local streets in this area will have curb, gutter, and sidewalks; and the alleys will have ribbon curb.the front island will contain a sign that uses end columns salvaged from the original garden area of the Mansion. Upon approach to the Mansion, the front lawn area will create a Mews. Sidewalks will wind from the entrance road and Mansion and connect to a sidewalk that would front the alley-loaded lots that face the front-lawn area.the historic cemetery located within the Mansion Area will be protected by a wrought iron fence.the grounds of the cemetery will be maintained by the HOA, and access to the cemetery will be available to the community at large. The swimming pool amenity is to be located in closer proximity to the Mansion and will provide an area of approximately 2 acres for the pool, pool house, and parking.the water-surface area of the pool is to be a minimum of 4,000 sq.ft.the periphery deck area is sufficient in size to accommodate 175 to 200 deck chairs.the parking lot is sufficient in size to accommodate 90 parking spaces.the pool house is to contain an equipment room, storage, and restrooms. The Mansion will continue to be used as a sales center, and at a minimum, the total first floor will be restored and used as meeting rooms, card rooms, or gathering areas.an addition to the rear of the Mansion would be constructed to contain restrooms, a catering kitchen, and an exercise facility.the second floor of the mansion may or may not be restored for usable space. ParkTrust Development has had a structural engineer, knowledgeable of older structures, prepare a preliminary report of the Mansion which deems it as salvageable. Fire damage that was incurred in the 1990s is reversible and can meet codes according to the report. The lawn area that will be a part of this common area is approximately 340 feet wide and 420 feet deep.attention was given to create a lawn area that preserves many of the existing trees in the front yard.the rear lawn area could be used for informal, as well as formal gatherings. These changes that include the Mansion Area, lakes, and pool total 72 acres of the 660 acres of the total project area.although this request increases the density in the Mansion Area, the overall density of the project will not increase as changes are made to future sections.a need to increase density in the Mansion Area has occurred because of the empty-nester product which requires smaller lots that are easily maintained.this pattern book provides actual lot sizes, lot totals, housing types, and other details of this request. 3

MURFREESBORO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF COMMENTS, PAGE 1 JULY 8, 2009 5.b. Zoning Request [2009-408] for approximately 12.62 acres to be rezoned from RM-16 to CH and approximately 17.5 acres to be rezoned from RS-15 to CH along Agripark Drive, Abundant Life Christian Center and Harpers Point Land Partnership developer. The subject area consists of four properties located along the eastern and western sides of Agripark Drive. The parcels along the eastern side of Agripark Drive are zoned RM-16 (Multi-Family, Residential District) and the parcels along the western side of Agripark Drive are zoned RS-15 (Single-Family, Residential District). To the east of the subject area is the Harpers Point apartment complex (zoned RM-16). The properties to the north and south are zoned CH (Highway Commercial District). The properties to the west, along Gresham Lane, are zoned RS-15 and used for residential purposes. Agripark Drive (which opened to traffic in June) creates opportunities for the subject properties that did not exist prior to its construction. The properties on the west side of Agripark Drive, zoned RS-15, had frontage upon Gresham Lane which is a substandard street and not adequate for commercial or multiple family development. Staff has advised the property owners that a zoning application or development plan that is dependent upon Gresham Lane would be discouraged and possibly denied. With the construction of Agripark Drive through the property, the opportunity exists for much more intense development possibilities. Accordingly, the applicants have requested a CH zone for the property excluding the portions that connect to Gresham Lane. The parcel to the north and east of Agripark Drive is land-locked and is zoned RM-16. This parcel was zoned RM-16 in 1996 in anticipation of it being developed with apartments as an extension of adjacent Harpers Point apartments. The applicants are now requesting to zone the parcel from RS-15 to CH. The southern two parcels were included in the rezoning consideration by the Planning Commission. The property to the south and east of Agripark Drive is mostly zoned CH and the zoning change from RM-16 to CH is to clean up the zone line to follow the parcel line. The portion of the parcel to the south and west of Agripark Drive was included by the Planning Commission because it is zoned interim RS-15 when the land was annexed and it is not an suitable location for 15,000 square feet residential lots. Staff considers that it will be a matter of time until that property owner makes application for rezoning also. Also, land zoned CH adjacent to lands zoned RS-15 or RM-16 is required to install a type C buffer regardless of the future zoning and development intentions the owner of the property zoned RS-15 and RS-16 may have. The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing regarding the rezoning of these four properties, and then forward its recommendation to City Council.

MURFREESBORO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF COMMENTS, PAGE 1 JULY 8, 2009 5.c. Zoning Request [2006-409] for approximately 0.40 acres located along Hancock Street and East Castle Street to amend the current PCD for approximately.29 acres and rezone approximately.11 acres from RM-16 to PCD, John N. Sowell developer. The subject area consists of two parcels located on the northwestern corner of Hancock Street and East Castle Street. The parcel directly on the corner is zoned PCD (Planned Commercial District) and is the location of Jeff s Family Friendly Restaurant and the former location of Glantons Grocery Market. The second parcel, adjacent on the eastern side, is zoned RM-16 (Multi-Family, Residential District) and is the location of a singlefamily residential house. The parcels to the north and east are zoned RM-16 and the parcels to the south and west are zone RS-4 (Single-Family, Residential District). The subject area is a part of The Maney Avenue: A Comprehensive Community Plan. The site operates as a successful neighborhood restaurant which draws patrons from all areas of our community. Because of the restaurant s successes, Mr. Sowell desires to utilize the neighboring lot at 703 East Castle Street as a parking lot in addition to a single-family residence. Mr. Sowell bought the lot to the east (zoned RM-16) in October of 2008, for his son s residence and then he graveled the rear yard to be used as a parking area for the restaurant. A parking lot is not a permitted use under the current zoning, therefore, the applicant is requesting to amend the current PCD and to zone the rear portion of the lot to the east PCD to allow the parking lot. The front portion of the lot, including the house, will remain zoned RM-16. Attached to the staff comments are photographs of the area. The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing to consider amending the zoning of this property, and then forward its recommendation to City Council. Staff will have additional comments at the meeting.
