Rosebank Neighbors Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2021 via Zoom
I. Debbie Sykes (Nashville Wildlife Conservation)
⦁ Wildlife in our backyards - coexisting is their only option
⦁ At the wildlife hospital, the 2 main issues are lawnmower injuries and kidnapping.
⦁ Animals that are trapped and re-located only have a 5% success rate.
⦁ How you can help your wildlife neighbors:
⦁ close dumpsters, bungee cords over trash cans
⦁ look before you mow...or mow at the highest setting
⦁ find alternatives to pesticides, herbicides, and rodenticides
⦁ help turtles cross the road in the direction they are going
⦁ Time - each animal receives minimum 1 hour of care per day (x 25 turtles, 10 Eastern Cottontails, 14 oppossums)
⦁ Looking for transportation volunteers
⦁ Debbie@NashvilleWildlifeConservation
East Precinct Police Update (jessic...@nashville.gov, 615-943-1656)
⦁ 6 total incidents
⦁ Cars are still being leaved unlocked
III. Brett Withers District 6 (brett....@nashville.gov) and Emily Benedict District 7(emily.b...@nashville.gov)
⦁ New trash and recycling app: Nashville Waste and Recycling https://www.nashville.gov/News-Media/News-Article/ID/10696/Metro-Public-Works-Launches-New-App-for-Trash-and-Recycling-Information.aspx
⦁ Recycling contamination: If we can get from 46% contamination down to 15%, we will be more likely to move to every other week recycling pickups
⦁ License Plate Readers: a useful tool to track cars that may be committing crimes. Here is the link to the LPR survey: https://redcap.vanderbilt.edu/surveys/?s=XJFNN9LC9D
⦁ Oracle looking to open new office in Nashville north of Jefferson (near Top Golf).
⦁ The rest of East Bank south of Jefferson: Perkins Eastman firm, working on riverfront project. Community advisory panel
⦁ Riverside Drive: bike lane dividers "armadillos" that have been damaged will be replaced. Some traditional bollards will also be added.
⦁ 901 Dalebrook (Greater Grace Temple): noise complaints about church service from neighbors, some repairs going on in the building
IV. Beautification Commission (Tony and Chris)
⦁ Japan American Society donated 12 cherry trees to replace some on Riverside Drive
⦁ Still working on replacing the Riverside Drive monument destroyed by tornado (visit Friends of Riverside Drive FB page)
⦁ Check stormwater ditches to make sure they are clean and free of trash to help the passage of stormwater (no clippings, limbs, debris, etc). This helps to reduce flooding!
V. Brittany/Barclay Contextual Overlay
⦁ Barclay/Brittany area is working on pursuing a new contextual overlay. Overlays create a height/width ratio limit. You can still build 2 houses on lots, but it limits height, driveways, front-facing garages.
⦁ April 27th Community Meeting at 6PM Link: https://www.nashville.gov/News-Media/Calendar-of-Events/Event-Details/ID/14838/begin/4-27-2021/Metro-Council-District-6-Community-Meeting-Virtual.aspx.
⦁ Caroline Buchholz: distributed contextual overlay survey to all neighbors in overlay area. Email: barclaybrit...@gmail.com
