3 THE TENNESSEAN Wwfawdy, Sptotnfce 17 1991 SB LOCAL NEWS aw would cut on steep 1ob8 By HARK 1PPOLITO Staff Writer A proposed restriction on building on slopes would end home construction on the west side of town, West Meade Councilman Eric Crafton argued last night The restriction would not allow construction on steeply sloped properties of less than five acres. The provision is included in a citywide zoning ordinance approved by the council on second reading. Crafton said the slope issue needs to be addressed before a third and final vote on the zoning ordinance next month. Crafton, himself a homebuilder, said there's no flat property left on the west side. Only five citizens spoke at a public hearing last night on the zoning ordinance, which would change the rules for what can be built where throughout Davidson County.

"I think that should indicate to you that these maps are better than they were six months ago," said one of the speakers, John Stern, Nashville Neighborhood Alliance president The zoning maps that accompany the ordinance have been redrawn to more closely resemble current zoning patterns because earlier drafts were too controversial to meet council approval Other speakers, Bob Cooper of West Nashville and John Rumble of Bellevue, also said the maps look good. But Rumble said he wants single-family neighborhoods to receive zoning that protects them against duplexes. "We need toe protect the fundamental character of established neighborhoods," Rumble said. Tom Stewart complained that the ordinance does not provide enough allowances for senior citizen housing complexes. "They want to stay in an area close to where they live because of their friends, because of their churches, because of their neighbors." In other business: The council approved up to $150 million in municipal bonds for schools, libraries, the Nashville Arena and various infrastructure projects.

Most of the money comes from a 54-cent tax increase. But a $30 million emergency radio system is to be funded through the 911 fee on phone bills, and arena revenues are supposed to cover all or part of the $14 million needed to finish locker rooms, suites and offices and build a practice rink for the city's National Hockey League team. Vice Mayor Jay West announced that he has worked out a deal to keep Metro Council meetings on live television. Starting in January, live council coverage will switch from WDCN-Channel 8 to government access cable. WDCN will then broadcast the meetings on tape delay at 10:30 p.m.

for households that do not have cable. WDCN must discontinue live coverage because of commitments to PBS underwriters to carry programs including Nova and Front Line in set time slots. ding Ml Police reports Ready to clean house These are the most serious crimes reported to the Metro Police Department on Monday, Sept 15.

Police say pair beat man after car wreck 19, and his 17-year-old brother got out of Roland's car and began beating Horsley. Horsley then fell to the ground, unconscious. Police say Roland drove off, and Batts and his brother climbed into Horsley's Jeep and fled the scene. Witnesses to the incident, which occurred near the intersection of D.B. Todd Boulevard and 18th Avenue North, gave police both a description of Roland's car and his license number.

Roland was picked up by officers minutes later, but was not charged with any crime. A further investigation led to the 17-year-old, who was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and motor vehicle theft. Police have not released the teen's name. Two arrest warrants one for aggravated assault and one for motor vehicle theft have also been issued for Antonio Batts. Police spokesman Don Aaron said Batts remained at large last night "The 17-year-old gave a statement implicating both himself and his brother in Mr.

Horsley's assault," Aaron said. "He took a pretty good beating." Aaron credited witnesses with helping officers find the suspects. "We have always said the Police Department is not in this alone," he said. "We need help from the community and Monday night is a shining example of what can happen when people get involved. Because of their involvement we were able to make an arrest in this case much sooner and identify the persons responsible much more quickly."

ANGIE WALTON STAFF $15,000.

Most of the funds about 90 come from vendor fees: the money charged to hundreds of vendors from across the country to showcase and sell their African ethnic goods during the twoday event, which features live jazz and reggae music, dancing and drumming, karate demonstrations, a children's pavilion, food and more. The remaining 10 comes from small donations from local businesses. "More and more festival participants were indicating that they would like to see a major arts exhibit at the street festival," said Lillard. black Americans, including pictures Reed took of the 1995 Million Man March for Life magazine, Lillard said.

Until now, the largest donation the AACA has accepted from a corporation was $400. "It's a real departure that we've been very weary of," Lillard said.

The festiva costs the AACA about By DAVID HEFNER Stag Writer For 14 years, the African American Cultural Alliance has taken the moral high ground, refusing to let vendors sell paraphernalia advertising alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs or sex during its annual African Street Festival. Festival-goers wont be chugging down brews from a beer tap, either. This is a family event," AACA co-founder Kwame Leo Lillard said, adding the group doesnt accept donations from1 any beer or tobacco companies. Though Lillard said there's no chance the AACA will ever soften gave $2,500 to the festival to fund an art exhibition by photojournalist Eli Reed. "When we first started, we were warned by other festival sponsors that if we relied on corporate money disproportionately to our own individual efforts, we would open ourselves up for problems," Lillard said.

"I think now, in our 15th year, we can manage a blend. But still, there's a threshold we will accept above our own funds." The exhibition, titled Black in America, features 64 black-and-white photographs of historical events, and everyday experiences of "This money is targeted for one item the art show and the money went directly to it "This is an ethnic festival, unapol-ogetically. Saturn gets a major boost in the community by this but has no impact on the festival's format It's those rules, its members have reevaluated one long-standing rule: this year the nonprofit group accepted its largest donation from a corporation in exchange for limited advertising.
