Homeowners may be required to obtain
permit for home-based occupations
Homeowners with home-based
occupations may be required in the
near future to purchase a two-year
permit.
Pleasant View’s Planning Commission held their monthly work
session on Tuesday continuing to
discuss allowing special exceptions for use of detached accessory
structures in the Zoning Ordinance
Article 4 Section 4.040 Home Occupations.
If approved, homeowners with
accessory structures, used for business purposes, will be required to
purchase a two-year permit. Criteria will be set forth in the zoning
ordinance and if not adhered to
homeowners will risk having the
permit revoked. Permit costs have
been discussed but a proposed
price hasn’t been decided.
Existing businesses, conforming and legally operating may be
exempt from having to purchase a
permit, if proposed changes are approved. These potential businesses
could be grandfathered in under
the proposed changes
Commissioners did discuss requiring lawfully operating businesses
to obtain a permit at no cost to the
homeowner, if grandfathered under
the proposed ordinance.
“What is this really geared toward?” asked Connie Trotter
during Tuesday’s meeting.
Chairman Dan Small stated the
main objective was for Pleasant
View to be a business friendly

community with minor and major
home occupation businesses operating lawfully and legally, conforming to the zoning ordinance, with
permit approval.
Building Commissioner Mark
Goins explained home-based occupation businesses are on the rise.
Goins recommended the ordinance
be revised to reflect conformity and
compliance with regulations. Many
inconsistencies have been discovered in the city ordinances since
Goins was hired as Building Commissioner.
Currently home-based occupations aren’t monitored to insure
homeowners are conforming and
operating legally. Minor homebased occupations include businesses storing merchandise to sale
and ship to customers. According
to the zoning commission, goods
delivered to the home-based business would have to be delivered by
standard mailing services. Packages delivered by UPS and FedEx
would be permissible.
Major home-based occupations
include businesses with fewer than
16 customers per day. Approval by
the Board of Zoning and Appeals
(BZA) would be required for a
major home occupation before a
permit could be issued.
A business license for any entity
selling taxable goods would be
requested before a permit could be
obtained or purchased.
Home occupations would be
restricted in developed properties
or residential subdivisions with
regulations and covenants. Homeowners residing in developments
with regulated covenants will have
to adhere to the regulations or
covenants agreed to at the time of
property purchase. Only if or when
the covenants expire will homeowners be allowed a home occupation under the proposed ordinance.
Agricultural properties will not
have to adhere to the same provisions set forth for home-based
occupations in the proposed ordinance.
Commissioners will further review
the request for property located at
the north side of Triangle Road to
the east of 1089 Triangle Road to be
established as a minor subdivision
at the May 24 meeting. The property consists of 8.77 acres and property owner Ryan Thomas is seeking to
divide the property into three lots.
The property is required to be
rezoned for residential purposes
to establish a division of property.
The property has been zoned Agricultural.
The public is encouraged to attend
and welcomed to speak during public forum. Speakers addressing the
board of commissioners addressing
property zoning, ordinances or
requests are allotted three minutes
to address the board.
Pleasant View Planning Commission will meet on Monday, May
24 at 6:00 p.m. for their regular
monthly meeting.

2016 DISTRICT 9-AA CHAMPS!

Sycamore’s team of
stars takes first step
On Tuesday, the baseball team that
was clearly the best in District 9-AA
won the championship, and many of
their outstanding players were recognized for their accomplishments by being named to the All-District Team.
I say “many,” because from my viewpoint Sycamore has a solid lineup from
top-to-bottom.
Those named to the team included Matt Brown, catcher, Most Valuable Player of District 9-AA. This is a
very deserving choice, but could have
easily been Bailey Baker, who was
also named first-team All-District and
through Tuesday was tied with Brown
for best batting average on the team.
And no one was more valuable to the
team than Noah Sims, who is undefeated as a starting pitcher and has an ERA
under 1.00.
Adam Jacoway, Kyle Spurlock and
Blake Strassburg were also named to
the first team All-District. Jacoway and
Spurlock have been two of Sycamore’s

Sycamore sweeps district tourney, hosts region opener Monday
By Lawrence Gunnells
I-24 Exchange Sports Editor
Sycamore baseball took another big step in its magical 2016 season on Tuesday, defeating White
House-Heritage, 8-0, to capture the
District 9-AA championship.
The War Eagles (29-4) earned the
opportunity to host a first round game
in the Region 5-AA playoffs on Monday. Their opponent will be either
Lipscomb Academy or Martin Luther King High School, and the game
will be played at 6:30 PM. Those two
teams were set to face off in the 10AA championship on Friday night.
The championship game was never
in doubt, thanks to another masterful
job on the mound by Noah Sims. The
senior pitcher allowed only three hits in
pitching a complete game shutout. He is
10-0 on the season.
Sycamore was solid at the plate also,
ringing up eight earned runs on 10 hits.
Bailey Baker had three RBIs and scored
a run to lead the War Eagles.
The win completed a sweep of the
double-elimination tournament for Sycamore, who needed only three games to
win the crown.
On Friday, Sycamore eliminated
Westmoreland, 9-1, in Sim’s ninth win
of the season, another zero earned run
performance. The War Eagles were
lethal at bat, amassing 15 hits. They
scored runs in every inning except the
first. Jacob McCoy had a big night at
the plate, going 3-for-4, with three RBIs
and two runs scored for the victors.
On Monday, Sycamore won their
bracket to earn their ticket into the
championship by eliminating Greenbrier, 7-5. The Bobcats put up a good fight,
coming back to tie the game in the top
of the fourth, after the War Eagles had
jumped on top, 4-0, in the first. But Sycamore answered in the bottom half of
the inning with three runs, and held on
to win. McCoy had another three RBI
night, and Carson Guidino added two
more to pace Sycamore at the plate.
Monday’s game will be “single elimination,” with the winner advancing to a
region championship round on Wednesday where the teams play for seeding in
the sub-state, which begins on Friday.
Times and locations will not be known
until after Monday’s game.

Brown accepts baseball offer from Vol State
Matt Brown (wearing white shirt and tie) was joined by his family and
coaches as his agreed to a baseball scholarship at Vol State Community College for 2016-17. Meri Crisp Photo
Outstanding senior athlete Matt
Brown signed a national letter of intent
this week to play baseball for Volunteer
State Community College next season.
The signing ending speculation about
whether Brown would play basketball
or baseball in college. A catcher on this
year’s baseball team, Brown was named
District MVP on Tuesday. He was also a
unanimous First Team selection for the
All-District Basketball Team, leading
the team in multiple statistical categories during the 2015-16 season.
Brown said he realized at the team’s
first regular season game this year that
he had a shot to play baseball at the next
level.
“Against Spring Hill, there was a
number of scouts there to see several
players, and I found out I was one of
them,” Brown said. “I was determined
to catch their eye.”
“I chose Vol State over other schools
because they were very interested from
the beginning and Coach (Ryan) Hunt
has been in touch with me all year.”
Brown credits his high school coaches (Toby Miles and Daniel Smiley),
Tommy Ellis and his brother Micheal
for pushing him to be better.

best clutch hitters all year, and Strassburg has been a solid #2 pitcher for
the War Eagles.
Mitchell Langley and Dylan McGavic were named second team
All-District. Langley has been money as Sycamore’s top reliever and
McGavic has been solid at the plate
and in left field.
The selection process doesn’t allow teams to have any more players
on the All-District team than Sycamore got, but I also “name” Carson
Guidino and Jacob McCoy! (Sorry guys, it’ll have to be unofficial).
Both players have been a part of an
almost impenetratable defensive infield, making big plays, and they are
often the players named as “game
winners” at the plate.
Oh yeah...guess who was All-District Coach of the Year: Daniel Smiley. There couldn’t have been anyone
else who was truly considered, although I did not see the ballots. This
has been a dream year so far for the
young head coach, one that he will
never forget. Team chemistry is a
hard formula to keep balanced, and
that has been his greatest skill during
this outstanding year.

GUN BURGLARY
(cont. from p. 1)
Wheeler said was a big help along
with Pleasant View Officer Adam
Wright who was able to match the
surveillance video from the Pleasant
View shop of the suspects with video
of two Nashville burglaries.
Chief Wheeler said the female
suspect said she had never been to
Pleasant View until the morning of
the burglary. The two suspects may
have been looking for gun shops
since the pair is charged with a similar break in at a Mt. Juliet gun store
in Wilson County.
Pleasant View Police Department
has a hold on the suspects who will
first face charges in Davidson County along with charges in Wilson
County. The two are also suspects in
burglaries in Sumner County.

Electronic water meter
installations begin
Pleasant View Utility District
Commissioners met Tuesday, May
2, for their monthly board meeting and discussed the installation
progress of the new electronic meter
systems.
Installations began last week and
the utility department anticipates
the installation project to be completed in September or October of
this year.
The new electronic meters will help
Pleasant View Utility District analyze the districts water usage more
effectively and efficiently.
Customers should expect the
installation of the new meter to take
up to thirty minutes but but could
take much longer depending of the
age of the systems being replaced.

Customers may notice a discoloration in their water after the new
meter is installed. If this happens,
the utility department asks that
customers run the water for a few
minutes or until the water runs
clear.

East Cheatham Elementary lands $40K grant
East Cheatham Elementary School was awarded a substantial grant by
Leader.org. The grant will cover the cost of implementing The Leader
in Me program for the initial year. The Leader in Me was developed by
Franklin and Steven Covey. The program teaches children the Seven
Habits of Effective People in terms children can understand and put into
action to be leaders themselves. Wendy Cox, principal at East Cheatham
Elementary, said, “We were one of only three schools in the state of Tennessee selected for this grant. We are honored to be one of the schools
chosen for this world-wide recognized program.”
The Leader in Me is a whole-school transformation model and process
that was developed in partnership with educators. The Leader in Me
empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive
in the 21st century. It is based on principles and practices of personal,
interpersonal, and organizational effectiveness.
