Collierville board votes to appeal court order on Cartwright Place site plan

The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen on March 23 voted to file an appeal to Chancellor Jenkins’ order relating to the preliminary site plan for the Cartwright Place Business Center. An alderman moved to appeal the order; another member seconded and the motion passed on roll call with the mayor recorded as opposed.

The board did not deliberate on the merits at the meeting because the court order was stated to preclude debate in this forum. The clerk recorded the roll call after the motion; the board then directed staff to file the appeal, and the item was entered into the public record as an appeal filing.

There was no additional public presentation or rebuttal during the meeting; board members did not reopen discussion because the order was cited as limiting debate. The procedural vote preserves the town’s right to challenge the court ruling in the appropriate forum.

The board moved on to other agenda items after the vote. The meeting record shows the appeal motion beginning with the Cartwright Place item and the roll-call outcome was recorded at the time of the motion.
