Taken this morning by Bob Heisinger, this is what our area downtown looked like. Amazing!  Right now we are expected to crest 60.5 ft by the pm!  Please be careful out there because the Cumberland is expected to peak this pm in Nashville and that means it is still headed our way and to peak later this evening.  It is being said that we will be below flood stage, (46 ft) in the pm on Wed!

Red River is Up

In Nashville, our unit has had to fly to Opryland Hotel for events like Quad A (AAAA).  This is where the Delta Garden is…

This is where you would go in for the Delta Garden, Opryland

A friend of ours was able to get us these pictures!

I was called from a neighbor a couple of days ago about a problem that might be arising that will affect all the homes off Exit 1 around the Trenton/Tylertown Roads.  She went to Kentucky yesterday to get a plat of where this Quarry will be built. It is shocking how close it is to our subdivisions on the North side of Interstate 24!

Below I have placed a copy of the plat, so you can see if it will affect your area.  We understand that this is being built right inside the KY line but they will be using Trenton and Tylertown Road to get to the Hemlock. Not to mention the blasted that will shake all of our homes!

Taken from the new site about this development, I have been given permission to quote what has been brought to the surface.

What we know:

The Rogers Group based in Nashville, TN has shown an interest in developing a rock quarry in the Todd County area.  They are the company interested in the tract of land in question (below). The Rogers Group is deciding between two locations and hopes to acquire the quarry location in order to supply the Hemlock plant with the quarried limestone. (Tylertown Road would be the most direct route of delivery.)

Apparently, core samples have been taken and some surveying has been done in preparation for the development of a quarry.  However, on a positive note, no mining permit has been applied for with the state of Kentucky.

Kentucky does not have zoning restrictions – meaning there is no barrier between development and the state.  No planning commission, no re-zoning red tape.  Companies applying for a mining permit in the state of Kentucky DO have to submit a public notice to the most heavily circulated newspaper within a 50-mile radius of the intended mining site.  This is, of course, the Kentucky New Era based in Hopkinsville, would be the appropriate publication.

We need to show The Rogers Group they aren’t just going up against a small group of Tennessee homeowners and a handful of Kentucky farmers; they are going against a united front of more than 7 large Clarksville neighborhoods consisting of more than a thousand Tennessee homeowners willing to support those bordering their intended quarry!

We need to contact them RELENTLESSLY voicing our opposition to their potential quarry before it legally becomes our newest neighbor!

We need the support of Clarksville neighbors not affected to stand in the gap for the homeowners who can’t be here due to be deployed.  Will you help us take a stand?

Channel 4 News came to Clarksville and did a piece on this developing story.

Facts:

The Rogers Group out of Nashville is planning to start quarrying limestone to supply the Hemlock plant.

The land that is the subject is owned by Paul Cooper

Core samples and surveying have been done on the property

No new deeds have been filed in Todd County

No mining permit has been applied for in the state of Kentucky

The Rogers Group will have to notify the public via the New Kentucky Era for 30 days as part of the permit process

No notification has appeared in the paper as of yet

No zoning restrictions in Kentucky – NO planning commission

The Rogers Group has been trying to access limestone in Todd County for a few years now without much success

The Rogers Group moved a projected quarry site in Huntsville, AL due to public fallout

Woodstock residents and Kentucky farmers are not happy

Tylertown/Oakland Hills residents are just now finding out

Tennessee officials have no power in Kentucky, it’s up to our residents to make a change

The EXACT location of the quarry – Woodstock farms (right next to Woodstock subdivision)

The land consists of 500 +/- acres and crosses HWY 108

Rumors and Speculations:

Property has been sold to The Rogers Group

When we aren’t proactive we tend to look like we are lazy, don’t care or not very organized. Sometimes we can’t help it that we are reactive, especiallywhen we are so busy it is hard to keep up.  Our intentions are good but our life might be a little chaotic at the time.  That is when I would suggest we stop, look at our life and decide what we can do to make it a little bit more easier.  We are the ones that cause the chaos or serenity.

When we aren’t proactive, people tend to judge.  It’s hard not to judge, it’s our human nature but remember that the measure by which we judge is what we will be putting on our self.  We aren’t here to judge but to love.  Sometimes we think that the way we do things is the right way, the easy way and why in the world would someone do it that way?  Our ways aren’t always best for others.  Our ways aren’t always “right”.  The circumstances that lead us to behave and do things a certain way, then learn huge lessons from the wrong decision, might not be the same for the person next to you.

Everything I write on this blog is my opinion and what has been right for me, my family and my business. Or what was wrong and I learned from it.  What is right for me, might not be the right answer for you.  Everyone has to find their own path.  They can learn from others mistakes and that is why it is so easy to write L-O-N-G posts because the lessons learned are sometimes long to explain.  Hopefully my style of writing keeps you reading and not thinking, “Come on, get to the point.”

So, how can we apply being Proactive instead of being Reactive?

Many ways.  Think about how much easier it would be for you to take the first step instead of waiting for someone to ask you to make it.  The one thing I have a hard time with is someone asking me to do something when I knew I should have done it before they called.  For instance, today I showed 3 properties to a client.  I took down the notes of the feedback and when I got back to my office I decided to go ahead and email the agent to let her know the feedback from my clients.  Doing this has taken a weight off my shoulders knowing that she might have called a couple of days later asking how it went and I would not have my notes with me, so I would have to call her back or not remember which homes were her’s and giving a false feedback on a house because I got two confused!  So instead of being reactive to the problems that would arise, I was proactive and made the first step to let this agent know how my showings went.

I just started this and I find that I feel more organized and in control.  Not only that, but it feels gratifying to know that I am helping someone without them having to ask for it!  How I would love for agents to call or email me and let me know how the showing went instead of me calling them and they are still with their client, or waiting a day and then they are so busy with other homes they need help remembering, “Which one was yours again?”

So, are you Proactive or Reactive? I am making a conscience effort to try and be proactive!

This week will be the term, “Mortgage”.  Since we are in the field of Real Estate, let’s define Mortgage.

*MORTGAGE: debt instrument by which the borrower (mortgagor) gives the lender (mortgagee) a lien on property as security for the repayment of a loan.  The borrower has use of the property, and the lien is removed when the obligation is fully paid.  A mortgage normally involves real estate. For personal property, such as machines, equipment, or tools, the lien is called a chattel mortgage.

*Barron’s Financial Guide Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms, Seventh Edition, pg. 434

Have a great weekend and if you see anything for sale, anywhere, by ANYONE, please call, text or email me and I will work at getting you the information you request.

If you would like to see if you qualify for a mortgage loan, please contact Amanda Dusenberry at 931-980-3999 and mention our Blog.

In the wonderful world of Real Estate there is a dictionary of terms.  I am going to dedicate Thursday as being the day to learn something new in our vocabulary.

For our first post, we are going to look at the term Contract.

CONTRACT – An agreement between competent parties to do or not to do certain things for a CONSIDERATION.

Example: To have a valid contract for the sale of real estate there must be:

1. An offer
2. An acceptance
3. Competent parties
4. Consideration
5. Legal Purpose
6. Written documentation
7. Description of the property
8. Signatures by principals or their attorney-in-fact.

Check back next week for the Thursday Term.  To get these posts directly to your email, click here.
