I am sorry to disappoint Mr. Pulle. The staff recommendation has been published, is sound and will not fundamentally change. I believe that the staff recommended policies are the best and most appropriate means to balance the long-term environmental and economic interests of the entire community. However, the final decision on the future of this area will be made by the Planning Commission and the Metro Council. Regardless of the decision, the opportunity to learn from the Adirondack Institute and apply the lessons learned there to this situation or other areas in Davidson County is appropriate. The goal of preserving the Scottsboro-Bells Bend corridor is important and at the core of the policies of the plan amendment. The ultimate preservation of the corridor can be accomplished with the development of the ADA, if done in accordance with all of the staff recommendations tied to the ADA. Should the Commission and Council decide to approve the plan amendment without the ADA, further action will be necessary to ensure the preservation goals of the community are realized. Regardless of the final decision, the experience gained by understanding the 'Adirondack model' can provide information that can be relevant and applicable to Nashville.
