The rezoning request (Resolution 061625043) would allow Clarion Homes to develop a single‑family subdivision on the Graves farm; the developer said preliminary plans under R‑40 would create up to 31 lots, each about 0.9 acre, and homes between about 2,400 and 3,000 square feet. The county planning commission recommended approval by a 5–0 vote.

Why it matters: residents said the nearby roads are too narrow for more traffic and for emergency vehicles, local fire‑protection and water infrastructure is already strained, and nearby low spots cause recurring flooding. The commission voted to pause action so staff and commissioners can consider pending highway department rules and other near‑term items affecting road improvements.

Residents urged the commission to slow growth on the site. “I’m not opposed to growth. I’m just opposed to not doing it the right way,” said Chris Boger, a Calista Road resident who said his family has lived in the area for decades. His wife, Tanis Boger, cited emergency‑response concerns: “How are you going to respond to those additional homes and the people that live in them? You’ve got to think about our police. You’ve got to think about our fire.”

Opponents repeatedly pointed to Horseshoe Road’s condition and narrow widths. “Horseshoe is not capable of taking any more traffic,” said Terry Payne, a resident who described frequent water‑main repairs and traffic hazards. Trent Anderson, a nearby property owner, told commissioners he expects future large developments on adjacent properties and warned of cumulative effects on schools and drainage.

Clarion Homes representatives and their engineer said the site can be served with water and septic and described changes they would make. “White House Utility District has approved the water taps needed for the neighborhood,” said Rachel Seal, who said she co‑owns Clarion Homes with family members. Johnny Johnson, a company principal, and Allison Turner of Greenlit Design, the project engineer, said soils testing and septic evaluations support the proposed lot layout and that most lots would be larger than typical single‑family lots nearby.

Turner said the developer plans internal roads and will not put driveways directly onto Callister or Horseshoe roads. She also said Clarion Homes agreed to widen Horseshoe Road by two feet from the edge of the developer’s property toward Callister Road for about 750 feet to improve maneuverability and visibility at the intersection.

Planning staff and consultants said typical plat and permitting steps will require additional engineering review. Hunter, the county planner, told the commission that retention/ detention requirements and plat review will determine needed stormwater controls and that a detention feature would normally be required as part of the plat process.

Several commenters raised insurance and fire‑protection concerns. One resident said the area’s ISO rating is 10, which affected homeowners’ insurance premiums; speakers asked whether existing fire and EMS resources could handle more homes. County staff did not assert any immediate change to fire service capacity; the commission instead opted to delay action to allow highway staff and planning staff to consider the project in light of near‑term rule changes and funding discussions.

After public comment and a period of commissioner discussion the commission voted to table the rezoning request for one month. The motion passed; commissioners said the pause will allow the highway department time to finalize proposed standards for developer contributions to road improvements and allow staff to present any new guidance to the commission before a final vote.

The developer and project team said they will continue to work with county staff on design details and infrastructure commitments; planners will return the application to the commission at the next regular meeting unless the applicant requests otherwise.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","RC Commission June 16 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Robertson County Commission on a June 2025 meeting tabled a request by Clarion Homes to rezone 39.3 acres on Horseshoe Road and Callister Road from AG‑2 to R‑40, delaying a final vote for one month after more than a dozen residents and commissioners raised concerns about road widths, emergency response, drainage and septic service.","taxTitle","Robertson County, Tennessee","taxId",52213,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6191216,"Commission approves budget amendments, wheel‑tax redistribution and E‑911 renewal",604,4401000,5005000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4740519-9bb4fdd6627208a9ef77228dbcfc6736&start=4401&end=5005","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4740519-9bb4fdd6627208a9ef77228dbcfc6736/thumbnail_4401000.jpg","/articles/6191216/Robertson-County/Tennessee/Commission-approves-budget-amendments-wheeltax-redistribution-and-E911-renewal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191216-781e560ef3b56585e2befccb4367d3a2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771016854&Signature=T4wsve80rmyb~aWUjKmL7Ux9-BGMIZQFb6jQ4NGTDLrVNcvxBm9JVqJuKLhniEBHr-pPOawswIwc1NoYK~xcV4EfdSI6ZLg70Vh132LQ1NJCTI-5PN-x979Wxma1aIWSwuvENtZfYnb8R0phoFMsp-V6h0RKkmyQ9TekLdUj4~7FtW27d5v~lu~s6IPSZBRiAv9Nllp-HRo4vYkQUtPtA~YQDCkn6E8M6OJF6FTVvYGvf8EBIh74kY7ajVfPrFJ~WY0oGI8zU5zNdX8if37HpKw-KTsRf1mWw3TkeH5~a2Uds5-QsErRCjvJ4GnzDOJJjYxJJsIfoTSZvf5ED9Nbmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Robertson County Commission approved a set of budget and administrative resolutions at the June 2025 meeting, moving funds for solid waste, accepting school nutrition and education aid, authorizing sheriff’s drug‑control money, adjusting the county’s wheel‑tax distribution in favor of the highway fund, and renewing the E‑911 interlocal dispatch agreement.

Key outcomes at a glance:

• Solid waste budget amendment (Resolution 06106625046): The commission approved a $200,000 amendment to the solid waste budget to help cover increased hauling and disposal costs. The clerk recorded the vote as 24–4–0 in favor; commissioners noted mattress and out‑of‑county loads as drivers of the expense.

• School funding acceptance (Resolution 061625047): The commission accepted $1,457,072 in state and federal education funds for school nutrition programs and related federal grants. The resolution was approved (vote recorded 24–4–0).

• Sheriff drug‑control funds (Resolution 061625048): Commissioners authorized distribution of drug control money for the sheriff’s department; the item passed with a roll‑call vote recorded as 24 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain.

• Wheel‑tax redistribution (Resolution 061625049): The commission voted to change the distribution of a portion of wheel‑tax revenue so that a larger share goes to the highway fund (the county mayor and staff framed this as a move to bolster road repairs and reserve balances). The vote was recorded as 24–4–0 in favor.

• E‑911 interlocal dispatch agreement renewal (Resolution 061625050): The commission authorized the county mayor to execute a renewal of the E‑911 interlocal dispatch agreement. Vote recorded as 24–4–0 in favor.

Commissioners and staff said the measures are intended to address near‑term operational shortfalls and to build reserves for roads and emergency services. County officials noted that hauling costs for solid waste have risen and that mattress and out‑of‑county loads have increased pressure on the transfer station, prompting the budget amendment and a referral to the solid waste committee to review fees and processes.

Chairman of the budget committee summarized the wheel‑tax change as a modest reallocation to the highway fund to build reserve capacity for bridge and road projects; staff estimated the change will increase monthly highway receipts (spoken estimate in the meeting) and said the reallocation can be adjusted in future budgets.

All of the above resolutions were introduced and passed during the meeting. Some commissioners said more work is needed to identify long‑term funding strategies for roads and to coordinate with TDOT and neighboring municipalities on capacity and development impacts.","At its June meeting the Robertson County Commission approved several administrative and budget measures including a one‑time transfer of funds for solid waste operations, acceptance of school federal funds, sheriff drug‑control grants, reallocation of wheel‑tax revenue toward roads, and renewal of the E‑911 dispatch interlocal agreement.","actionData","errors"]
