We are a group of over 100 Inglewood neighbors banding together to
block a cluster home development on Ivy Drive.

We propose an alternative development plan that keeps our neighborhood intact and
follows Nashville’s own stated Community Design and Neighborhood Character guidelines.

The plots at risk are 3901- 3905 Ivy Drive in East Nashville’s beautiful
Inglewood neighborhood at the Cumberland River bluff.

The cluster home concept plans 32 homes to be built domino style on
5000 square foot lots at the end of our quiet residential street which currently features mature trees, open lawns,
woods and properties of 10000 square foot and more.

We propose a development plan that will better reflect and protect the Character of our Neighborhood and follow the Community Guidelines dictated by Nashville.gov’s own official planning documents.

This plan is hostile to every document we can find regarding cluster home developments.

It violates every document we can find in the NashvilleNext Master Plan which stipulates that cluster homes be built close to main corridors, not on river bluffs at the furthest depth of old neighborhoods with large lots.

On a 2 house lot on Ivy Drive at the bend before it runs into Moss Rose along the river, MiKen developers are planning to cut woods and build 32 homes, several on top of a stream that empties into the  Cumberland. Their updated plan includes a paved alley that will cut across the required “open space communal” area and also cross the other end of this protected stream.

This concept plan will disrupt and destroy a peaceful and natural area that we visit daily in hopes of seeing deer, turkey, warblers, hawks and a huge variety of other wildlife, many of which nest on the premises.
