Best diesel sedan under Rs. 9 lakh?
10 thoughts on "Best diesel sedan under Rs. 9 lakh?"
why not linea or sx4
If after-sales and cost of spares is a big concern, you're quite OK with a Maruti SX4 diesel. However, among the three cars you've picked I think the Sunny diesel is the best of the lot, looking at maintenance cost and comfort, while engine performance and mileage too are decent. However, Nissan is still in the process of expanding its service network. Vento and Rapid are good, but spare parts cost is on the higher side and not all customers have been happy with the service they receive.
I would suggest you the cars in this order 1) SX4 diesel 2) Sunny diesel 3)Vento diesel and finally, 4) Rapid diesel.
Spares-wise, SX4 diesel is a clear winner here. Sunny diesel is a very value for money diesel car – but it is too new, and we don't know spare parts issues or costs yet. Complete reliability and hassle free life, Honda City petrol AT wins – spares are costlier than SX4 etc, but nothing goes wrong with Hondas
I m askin fr DIESEL car pls…SX4 s good but th design seems dated, also safety features r only n th top model> pls assist t decide budget approx 9lacs
Sunny diesel, if space is important to you. It is extremely spacious. Otherwise, rapid and vento are the same car – but Rapid has more variants and you can pick one which is closest to your budget. There is absolutely no problem with Vento at all. Skoda service is also much better than before nowadays. Nissan is too new, so can't say for sure about their service quality or long term maintenance. But the Sunny engine will give you no problem at all for sure.
Thanks Experts, sunny XLD s giving much better safety features although I like the crisp diesel engine f Rapid. But heard quite a few stories abt Skoda's ASS & cost f spares… pls advise since I plan t keep my car fr loong! Thnks
Hi, Sunny is too new for us to asy anything about the long term maintenance of the car We need to see it at least for a year to figure out what kind of issues occur (if anything occurs). Buying any totally new car is a bit of a gamble! Recently we had a poll on our Facebook page about Skoda cars, and most Skoda owners said they faced no issues.
I am in the same dilema……need to chose between Sunny XV Diesel & Vento Diesel Highline. I am more inclined to vento because of drive and interiors……but vento has unmatched leg space. Rapid is out because skoda service is really bad & extremely expensive. facing a lot of issues with my Laura service.
vento is better brand value, looks, driving, milage, drving comfort.

Sentiment: Strong Buy
Cool. But do stocks typically sell-off after a dividend gets paid?
deano the stockdunce is a contrarian indicator
yes, he will be right eventually by sheer exhaustion of probability
if you had done the exact opposite of what he has suggested since he`s been posting
you would have made a lot of money so far
stockdean is nothing more than a mindless pumper. A stock generally decrements in an amount roughly equal to the dividend on the ex-div date. The dividend payment date is typically not a catalyst in either direction.
Sentiment: Buy
Only when they rise big first on rumor. In this case we have gone down to double bottom and now any positives will drive the stock up in big ways. Look for a very big run up tomorrow.

MILAN — As part of the global expansion of the A|X Armani Exchange brand, the Armani Group said Thursday it will open three stores in Japan this year.
Two units will open this month at the Otakanomori Shopping Center in Chiba Prefecture and at the LaLaport Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture. In September, a flagship will open at Park Way-SQ'1 in the Shibuya district of Tokyo.
"Tokyo is rightly considered to be one of the most innovative and trendsetting cities for the A|X generation of consumers," Giorgio Armani said in a statement. "It has therefore been one of my longtime desires to open my first A|X stores there. In the coming years, I believe that A|X Armani Exchange has the potential to become one of the world's strongest youth fashion brands and the launch in Japan will undoubtedly help us to realize this."
Armani and Como Holdings Ltd., controlled by billionaires Christina Ong and her husband, Ong Beng Seng, formed a joint venture company in 2005 called Presidio Holdings Ltd. for the management and expansion of the A|X Armani Exchange brand outside the U.S. The venture plans to tap new markets such as Japan, China, South America and the U.K. Last year, the brand opened stores in the Middle East and South America, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Christina Ong, chief executive of Como Holdings Ltd., which owns 75 percent of Presidio Holdings, said in the statement, "Japan is an ideal market for Armani Exchange. Tokyo is an energetic and vibrant city teeming with fashion-minded young people, a perfect place for the Armani Exchange brand and lifestyle."
A|X Armani Exchange was launched in 1991 and Presidio plans to expand its product categories to include accessories, fragrances and watches. Last year, the company inked a licensing agreement with Safilo to produce a branded eyewear collection. A|X projects an 85 percent increase in revenues from $300 million at the end of 2005 to $550 million at the end of next year, opening 95 stores worldwide.
The Otakanomori A|X store, covering 4,155 square feet, will be located on the first level in a new, centrally located shopping center. The LaLaport Yokohama A|X store will cover 3,700 square feet and will be located on the second level of the new LaLaport Yokohama Shopping Mall, one of the largest in Japan with more than 300 stores.

A|X Armani Exchange counts a total of 115 freestanding stores.

text: K12 is facing a problem that many high growth companies have to deal with, how to balance the growth versus profitability. It is actually a good problem to have.There is no doubt that K12's market is growing very rapidly. This is a company that was only doing just over 200 million in annual revenue just 4 years ago and will do about 700 million this year. Most companies would kill for that kind of growth. But the profits, as measured by margins, have not kept pace. Gross margins have held up well but operating margins have been irregular and have varied significantly. Quarterly operating margins have been as high as 15% and as low as -4.8% over the past 4 years. This is largely due to the fact that there have been a number of new investments and acquisitions that have taken resources to integrate. Many of these are long term investments that require upfront money (the China schools, the international school, Kaplan) to integrate.On top of these are the marketing costs needed to promote K12 in new states and in states that have raised caps. Finally they have implemented a new CRM system in order to manage all this. Taken together K12 has invested a lot in order to be able to manage the company over the long term. This has hurt short term profits, at least on a GAAP basis, and pushed the stock down. Right now K12 sell for less than it did at the end of 2007 even though it is a much, much larger company and has more than doubled its EBIDTA and cash flow over that period. K12 could have avoided the decline in GAAP profits by simply focusing on their core market, not done any acquisitions or expanded overseas. Perhaps this would have helped the stock price. But in a market that is rapidly going mainstream with tremendous opportunities to grab market share I think they have taken the correct path. The important thing now is the continue to expand their leading position. Ironically, margins will probably start to rise when their growth slows.At today's price they are selling for 1.1 times sales, have $124M in cash and a whopping $205m in accounts receivable. They have no debt. Enterprise value is just $584M, and much lower if you include the receivables. Cash flow adjusted for receivables and payables was $74M in the first 9 months of the year. In continue to believe that K12 is a terrific story and that they will prove to be an excellent investment. All political, technological and cultural trends are in their favor right now. It is only a matter of execution.CD

A carbon dioxide leak was reported at the recently closed Taco John's at 701 11th Ave., Greeley.
The Greeley Fire Department responded just after 11 a.m. Tuesday when a soft drink vendor went to the restaurant to retrieve some equipment. As he went into the basement, he noticed what he thought was a carbon dioxide leak, according to a news release from the department.
Firefighters checked and shut down the carbon dioxide tank and ventilated the space with fans, according to the release. After checking the air again, crews found there was still some type of gas present and determined that a refrigerator unit was leaking coolant gas. The building was ventilated and the owner's representative was instructed to call a refrigeration technician.
Leaks have the potential to be dangerous because in concentrated quantities, carbon dioxide can displace and deplete oxygen, creating a dangerous condition, according to the release.

Michigan's Tax System Is Much Better Than Michigan's Economy
State tax receipts are largely determined by how well a state's economy is doing. When workers earn more, they pay more income taxes. When consumers buy more, they pay more in sales taxes.
Because of those ties to the economy, every state's tax base is naturally exposed to cyclical factors. But each state responds differently. Over the past year, Michigan's has been far less responsive to the recession than most states. … more

Smith Tax Hike Solves Non-Existent Problem
Rep. Smith and others seeking tax hikes (on both sides of the aisle) often claim that because of changes in the state's economy Michigan's tax system extracts fewer dollars per unit of economic activity than it did in an earlier era.
They are mistaken. Indeed, in its ability to suck revenue from a given level of (declining) economic activity, Michigan's tax system has outperformed 31 other states over the past year, despite being affixed to the nation's worst economy. This fact contradicts the claims of would-be tax raisers that our system is "broken" and needs to be "modernized." … more

This will be short and sweet, Princess has entered the 4-5 day cruise market. And this is NOT their forte. Leave the shorty cruise to momma Carnival. For those Princess die hards used to the 7 day cruises, let me tell you what you WON'T find. No welcome back parties on the 4 day cruise. No liquid soap AT ALL for non-Elite or suite guests. No towel figures in your bed at night. Nightly premium lounge food reduced down to "chips and guacamole" (just an example). Reduced entertainment in the evenings. There were a group of us who had cruised Princess in the past and we noted the decline in the food on Ruby Princess. One man said it best, "I go by a successful meal if I truly enjoy all 4 courses." He never once had that happen. The evening we ate at Sabitini's was 169 minutes (yes, almost 3 hours) of mediocre food and skimpy service. I was expecting something fancy, but this wasn't even up to Olive Garden on a Tuesday night.
Now for the good stuff: decent comedian, but why oh why did Princess stick the overpacked adult show in the lounge instead of the showroom? The G-rated show was almost full when it was held there! People were wall to wall, and sitting on the band instruments in the back in that stuffy lounge! Poor planning there. There was plenty of deck space to spread out, and MUTS was good at showing different venues for different folks. Please note that if you take the back-to-back cruises you are getting the same food, and same menu. Stick with Carnival for the short cruises, leave Princess alone for the longer ones. Mixing the two together isn't pleasant.

Parmesan Stuffing Chicken
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
I had an opened bag of stuffing mix that needed to be used up and came up with this. It came out crispier than when I use breadcrumbs!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken (thighs were used)
- 1 1⁄2 cups cubed prepared stuffing, crumbs (use food processor to crumb)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄3 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons milk 1/8 tsp seasoning salt
- Preheat oven for 400 degrees F.
- Place cubed-stuffing crumbs in a shallow dish; add onion powder, celery seed, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese-stir to combine.
- Ina separate shallow dish combine the beaten eggs, milk and seasoning salt.
- Coat chicken one piece at a time in the crumb mixture, then in the egg mixture and back in the crumb mixture.
- Place on a greased baking sheet (I bake mine on a cooling rack placed on the baking sheet so both side get crispy).
- Bake until chicken is done/juices are clear 20-30 minutes depending on thickness of the chicken.

A juicy tender chicken that with a stuffing flavored coating that will make young and old alike run to the table. I made as using 2 jumbo sizes chicken breast and stove top stuffing mix, I did skip the food processer step and ponded with my fist instead (bad day LOL) and the salt as there is a lot of salt in the stuffing mix. Thanks for the yummy post.
Words can not describe this was !!! Made recipe as posted with no changes. I did put the chicken pieces on the chicken rack. Great idea !! Who would of thought.. Anyway this all around recipe had great crust, and wonderful flavors .. Definately a keeper here. Made for Recipe Swap #47..
This turned out so good. I used a stuffing mix that wasn't cubes, just a crumbled stuffing, so I only processed it for about 30 seconds. I also used a chicken flavor stuffing mix. What a great tip you gave about putting the chicken pieces on a cooling rack placed inside the baking sheet. I'd never thought of doing that before, and it did make both sides of the chicken very crispy. Using the stuffing mix does make a really great crust which we all loved and the chicken turned out nice and moist, and so delicious!

College readiness SAT to be redesigned
The College Board is planning to redesign the SAT that measures high school students' readiness for higher education, according to a story posted by Inside Higher Ed.
"We will develop an assessment that mirrors the work that students will do in college so that they will practice the work they need to do to complete college," the College Board's new president said in a letter sent to board members. "An improved SAT will strongly focus on the core knowledge and skills that evidence shows are most important to prepare students for the rigors of college and career."
College Board president David Coleman did not offer any specifics. When the SAT was last overhauled in 2005, a writing exam was added and the board eliminated analogy questions. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
State SAT results dip slightly, AP exam participation up
Average SAT score results for the tiny percentage of Wisconsin's 2011 graduates who took the college admission test show a slight dip this year compared with last year, but students still scored above the national average for SAT test-takers.
Wisconsin had 3,059 graduates who took the test sometime during high school, which represents about 5% of all public and private school graduates for the year, according to a news release from the state Department of Public Instruction.
On a scale from 200 to 800, Wisconsin's mean score for critical reading was 590 (595 last year, according to a 2010 news release from DPI), 602 in math (604 last year) and 575 for writing (579 last year). »Read Full Blog Post(13)
5% of state's seniors do well on SAT
On the heels of last week's announcement that Wisconsin maintained its third-place ranking on the ACT among states where a majority of high school students take the test, the state released results on the other college admissions exam -- the less popular SAT -- Tuesday.
Unlike the ACT, where the average composite score for 2009 graduates remained at 22.3, Wisconsin seniors' scores on the SAT jumped on all three tested subjects: math (up 4), reading (up 7) and writing (up 5). Overall, Wisconsin's Class of 2009 averaged a total of 1,784 on the SAT.
Of course, the news should come with a warning label. More variation is likely on the SAT because it grades students on a 2,400-point scale, whereas the highest score available on the ACT is 36 points. »Read Full Blog Post

Feel the Burn: Crusade Against Jerk Chicken Continues

Rounding up the region's restaurant reviews.
Two of our truck dreams come true.By Hadley Tomicki
The first annual Prospect-Lefferts Gardens "Jerk-Off" was held earlier this week by a group of local jerkaphiles, to determine just who makes the best jerk chicken in the neighborhood. Considering the area's huge Caribbean population, it was a tough call. Hammonds Bakery and Jerk Center won top jerk honors, with the more-hyped Peppa's coming in a distant fourth owing to crippling dryness. Which only goes to show that you're only as good as the last chicken you jerk. PLG Jerk-Off! [Hawthorne Street]

The International Verticillium Symposia (IVS) are meetings held every 3-4 years, organized by the nominated member of the International Verticillium Steering Committee. The 12th IVS is being hosted next year by the University of Ljubljana and will take place at the Austria Trend Hotel, Ljubljana, Slovenia. The 1st IVS was held in 1971 in Wye College, Kent UK and the most recent, the11th, took place in Gottingen, Germany in 2013. In between, the IVS were held in various parts of the world. Enormous progress has been achieved over this period in understanding Verticillium life-cycles, fungus epidemiology, disease control and management, taxonomy, genetics and genomics, host-Verticillium interactions and resistance and we can undoubtedly anticipate further exciting developments.
We look forward to welcoming you to Slovenia. It's on the sunny side of the Alps and packs a wealth of surprises into a very small space.
Prof. Dr. Branka Javornik
Chair of the Organizing Committee
Ljubljana is a city made to the measure of man. It is a middle-sized European city, but it has retained its small-town friendliness and relaxed atmosphere while providing all the facilities of a modern capital. It is a unique city dotted with many pleasant picturesque corners where you can expect all kinds of pleasant surprises await you. Its geographical position makes Ljubljana a perfect base for exploring the many faces and beauties of Slovenia.

The winner of Thursday's game advances to second-round action on Saturday at the same site. The opponent will be the winner between Thursday's other first-round game, No. 3 seed Georgetown (23-10) vs. No. 14 Ohio University (21-14).
Tennessee head coach Bruce Pearl said following the 74-45 loss to Kentucky that he expected a 4 or 5 seed. His Vols were projected as a 4 seed by many "bracketologists," including ESPN's Joe Lunardi, whose picks were aired just one hour before the NCAA field was announced at 6 p.m. Eastern Time.
The top four seeds in the Midwest Region are 1-Kansas (32-2), 2-Ohio State (27-7), 3-Georgetown (23-10) and 4-Maryland (23-8). Being in the lower half of the bracket, Tennessee could see Ohio State in the Sweet 16. The Vols would not have to face Kansas - the tourney's overall No. 1 seed - until the Elite Eight. Tennessee handed the Jayhawks one of their two losses on Jan. 10 in Knoxville, prevailing 76-68.
The Big Orange is one of four SEC teams to make the NCAA Tournament field, with all four hailing from the league's Eastern Division.
The others are Kentucky, 32-2 and seeded No. 1 in the East Region, Vanderbilt, 24-8 and seeded No. 4 in the West Region, and Florida, 21-12 and seeded No. 10 in the West Region.
Kentucky opens play Thursday in New Orleans against 16 seed East Tennessee State (20-14). Vanderbilt debuts Thursday vs. 13 seed Murray State (30-4) at San Jose, Calif. Florida plays its opener vs. 7 seed Brigham Young (29-5) Thursday in Oklahoma City.
SEC Tournament runnerup Mississippi State (23-11) and Ole Miss (21-10) were snubbed by the Selection Committee. MSU suffered a heart-breaking one-point overtime loss to Kentucky earlier Sunday in the finals of the league tourney.
Here are the top four seeds in each region:
MIDWEST: 1-Kansas (32-2), 2-Ohio State (27-7), 3-Georgetown (23-10), 4-Maryland (23-8)
WEST: 1-Syracuse (28-4), 2-Kansas State (26-7), 3-Pittsburgh (24-8), 4-Vanderbilt (24-8)
EAST: 1-Kentucky (32-2), 2-West Virginia (27-6), 3-New Mexico (29-4), 4-Wisconsin (23-8)
SOUTH: 1-Duke (29-5), 2-Villanova (24-7), 3-Baylor (25-7), 4-Purdue (27-5)

How to Save on Michigan Home Insurance Quotes
Written on October 14, 2015 By Admin in home Insurance
When you are shopping around for your Michigan home insurance quotes there are several ways that people who reside in Michigan can save some money on their premiums.
- Some insurance companies such as michigan-insurance.website, give discounts for those who are members of specific business groups in the area. These groups that are based in Michigan can make you eligible for these discounts.
- You can save money on your premium if you bundle your insurance needs. If you find a company that offers many different kinds of insurance programs – car, motorcycle, life, health, or any other types – you can save money by bringing your policies to one company.
- If you have a home that is 13 years or younger you may be eligible for a new home discount. The newer the home the less expensive it might be to replace.
- Your roof – if you have put a new roof on your house within the last 6 years you could qualify or a discount. This is a major expense so if you have reduced the liability aspect you should get a discount on your insurance premium.
- The right roofing materials – when you replaced your roof if you used roofing materials that are UL approved you could be eligible for a discount. Products include those that are resistant to impact, such as fiberglass made of asphalt or shingles made of asphalt.
- Your heating and plumbing – the same goes for your heating, air conditioning, and plumbing elements in your home. If you have replaced them and upgraded them with more up-to-date equipment you should be able to save on your insurance.
- Safety first – if you have a security system installed in your home with a monitoring system you can save up to 20% on your insurance. You should also make sure that you have deadbolt locks on all doors that are going outside. You can find a confirmation form to send to your insurance company on many of the home alarm system websites.
- You may want to also have a fire alarm, smoke alarms in each room, or a sprinkler system installed in your kitchen to save on your insurance costs. Having a fire extinguisher in your kitchen can cut down on kitchen fires.
- If your house is located close to a fire hydrant as well as to the nearest fire station you should save a little on your insurance as well.

Ten deaths from influenza have been reported in South Carolina as the number of hospitalizations and fatalities climbs well above last years mild season.
Statewide, a total of 519 people with laboratory-confirmed influenza were admitted to the hospital from Sept. 30 through Dec. 15, according to the latest figures available from the state Department of Health and Environmental Control.
In comparison, last years flu season began late and resulted in one death and 114 people hospitalized with lab-confirmed flu from Oct. 2, 2011, to July 7, 2012, according to DHEC.
So far, widespread flu has been reported in 29 states, including South Carolina, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
On Christmas Eve, 68 patients tested positive for the flu at Nason Medical Centers. This month, the centers treated 832 people for influenza, said Dr. Barron Nason.
Thats extremely high. Its hitting early and its hitting hard, he said.
Nason has clinics in North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville and on James Island. He said the emergency and urgent care centers have admitted two elderly patients to a hospital because of complications from the flu.
Flu vaccination protects against the illness, but it needs two weeks to become fully effective. The injection does not give people the flu as some worry, he said.
Except for children under 6 months old, everyone who is healthy should get a flu vaccination. An estimated 60 percent of Americans have not gotten the shot this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

76ers Notes
On Saturday, the 76ers will send rookie Craig Brackins to their affiliate in the NBA Development League, the Springfield Armor.
It will be the second D-League assignment for Brackins, a 6-foot-10 forward out of Iowa State University.
Though he performs multiple daily workouts, including intervals on the treadmill and on-court sprints, the 23-year-old has gotten very little of the old-fashioned kind of burn: playing time.
In two appearances, he has played a total of 21 minutes.

Par gave its bigscreen adaptation of "The Honeymooners" a family friendly makeover for its DVD release, trimming saucier comments in pursuit of a PG rating -- and, the studio hopes, greater sales.
Par gave its bigscreen adaptation of "The Honeymooners" a family friendly makeover for its DVD release, trimming saucier comments in pursuit of a PG rating — and, the studio hopes, greater sales. But you won't hear about these changes from helmer John Schultz and stars Cedric the Entertainer and Mike Epps in their commentary, for it was recorded before the film was released to disappointing B.O. returns.
While reverential to the original, the trio makes it clear the adaptation was never intended to win the hearts and minds of to-the-moon Jackie Gleason fans. In the "Hanging With the Honeymooners" bonus feature, producer David T. Friendly says an all-black "Honeymooners" wasn't even the initial intention, but when it came to picking a modern-day Ralph Kramden, Cedric the Entertainer was the obvious choice, and the rest just followed.
It's hard to argue about Cedric. Nobody is ever a filmmaker's second choice in Hollywood, of course, but it's difficult to imagine any current performer fitting the old bus driver's uniform better.
All the principals talk about their feelings for the venerable CBS show and the new film.
The DVD also includes a series of extended and alternate scenes, and some of the excised remarks — mostly drug or sex innuendo — manage to slip in there.
It's during the commentary that one really gets an insight into the making of the movie, which was shot in both Dublin and New York City. Well-versed in its structure, formula and nuances, the three filmmakers provide an entertaining play-by-play so affectionate and informative it might have won over Gleason himself.

Boxing Champion Pacquiao Says He Is Not Running For President Just Yet
Filipino boxer and congressman Manny Pacquiao said on Tuesday (July 30) he is confident he can beat American Brandon Rios in their November bout.
Pacquiao and Rios are touring China to promote their welterweight fight in Macau, where the Filipino pound-for-pound champion is looking to redeem his knockout loss to Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez.
"November 24 is gonna be a good fight and this is a great chance opportunity to promote boxing in China. Please don't miss this, this gonna be a good fight. Thanks so much for my fans especially those Filipino people. We are going to watch on November 24," Pacquiao told reporters in Beijing, one of the stops in China, after kicking off their promotional tour in Macau on Sunday (July 26).
The 27-year-old lightweight champion Rios said he is up for the challenge.
"I'm a warrior, he is a warrior. We both like to trade. So it's gonna be one hell of a fight. Now for us for the fans, everybody around the world gonna to see a tremendous fight. Because like I said, two warriors went at it, but one comes out and I will be ready for 100 percent. And I say thank you, thanks," Rios said.
Pacquiao is taking time off from his legislative duties, having won unopposed for a second term as Congressman of Sarangani province in last May's poll.
Speculation is rife that Pacquiao is contemplating a run for the country's highest office, but he said it is far from his mind at the moment.
"Not in my mind right now, what's in my mind right now is to focus my position as a congressman. And to run for a higher position, maybe, I don't know, it's God's will," he said in an interview with Reuters after the news briefing.
Regarded as a national hero in the Philippines where his rags-to-riches story has inspired millions, the 34-year-old entered politics in 2010.
The fight in November will be Pacquiao's first since his loss to Marquez last December, a defeat that prompted many to suggest he should retire after being left unconscious, face down on the canvas.
However, Pacquiao said retirement is not in his mind right now, and he would fight for two or three more years.
Pacquiao and Rios are expected to visit Shanghai on Wednesday (July 31), followed by visits in Singapore, Bristol, New York and Los Angeles.

Board of Zoning Appeals- Can I get a Variance?
To be granted a variance, three standards must be established. These standards are established by state law and are as follows: (1) There must be an extraordinary or exceptional situation or condition pertaining strictly to the property considered (generally due to narrowness, shallowness, unusual shape or some exceptional topographic condition); (2) Strict application of the Ordinance would result in practical difficulties to, or undue hardship upon, the owner of the property; and (3) The relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance. If these standards are established, the Board of Zoning Appeals may grant the variance request.
By Banks: What information needs to be printed in a letter of credit?
First, you should ask your customer for a copy of the approval letter with specific information regarding preparation of the letter of credit for the individual project that they would have received from Paula Kortas in the Planning Department. The approval letter is sent to the applicant following the Franklin Municipal Planning Commission/City of Franklin approval. The following information must be in each letter of credit:
Beneficiary shall be "City of Franklin and/or the Franklin Municipal Planning Commission"
A presentation location physically located in Williamson and/or Davidson County, Tennessee. A specific branch address may be given, or the letter of credit can state that "draw documents may be presented at any (insert name of bank) branch location in Williamson and/or Davidson County, Tennessee."
An auto-renewal clause shall be printed in the letter of credit. The following statement is not required to be verbatim; however, verbiage must accurately reflect all significant elements of the statement: "This letter of credit shall be renewed without amendment from this or any future expiration date unless at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date. We notify the Beneficiary by receipted overnight courier or receipted certified mail that we elect not to renew this letter of credit. Upon receipt of such notification, Beneficiary has the right to draw on the full amount of the letter of credit."
The letter of credit must also contain a verbatim statement that will be in the above-mentioned approval letter sent to your customer following the Franklin Municipal Planning Commission/City of Franklin approval. This statement is specific to each project. For additional information, please contact the Planning Department at (615) 791-3212.
By Owners/Applicants: What do I do following approval of my site plan or final plat by the FMPC/COF?
An approval letter and Performance and Maintenance Agreement/Sureties Guidelines will be sent to you within a week of approval, unless your project was approved with some "to be determined" amounts. Following your submission of revised plans which will allow the "to be determined" amounts to be calculated, the amounts will be forwarded to the Planning Department by the appropriate City department. At that time, your approval letter will be sent to you. Please click on the link labeled "Performance and Maintenance Agreement/Sureties Guidelines" for more information.
By Owners/Applicants: What are Performance/Maintenance Agreements and Surety (cash, letters of credit)?
A Performance Agreement is legally binding, notarized contract signed by an applicant that requires specific improvements to be constructed or installed according to the site plan or final plat approved by the FMPC/COF. Once the applicant satisfactorily completes the improvements, the Performance Agreement is released and a mandatory one-year Maintenance Agreement is established to ensure the workmanship and materials. The applicant shall choose to post either cash in the form of a cashier's check payable to City of Franklin or an irrevocable standby letter of credit as the surety that will secure the Performance/Maintenance Agreement. For additional information,
click here
or call Paula Kortas at (615) 550-6736.
By Owners/Applicants: What are Improvements?
Anything required by the conditional FMPC/COF approval of a site plan or final plat to be constructed or installed for that project. Examples: Streets, sidewalks, water lines, sewer lines, traffic signalizations, landscaping improvements, etc.
By Residents: How can I find out if the developer is still responsible for specific improvements in my subdivision or at a commercial site near my home?
Contact the Planning Department at (615) 591-5631. If possible, provide the name and section number of the subdivision you reside in or the name and location of the commercial site. If sureties are still being held for improvements you are concerned about, you can also find out when the next scheduled date is for inspections and agendas.
By Residents: What can the City do to compel a developer to do something that the residents consider important?
With regard to improvements, the City is only able to enforce what is provided for on an approved plan, and based in a requirement of the zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations or municipal code, or a condition of approval by the Planning Commission/COF. The City is able to enforce completion of these improvements according to the plan approved by the Franklin Municipal Planning Commission/City of Franklin, assuming that there are still sureties being held. If the agreement/sureties have been previously released and the improvement in question has degraded since that time, it is possible that other departments, such as Building and Neighborhood Services or Streets, may be able to help. Contact Building and Neighborhood Services at 615-794-7012, or Streets at 615-791-3254.
How do I build a new building?
The first step in determining how you can build a new building is figuring out the current zoning of your property. Call Zoning Administrator, Molly Pike, at (615) 550-6738 for a Zoning Determination Letter.
If you are zoned correctly for the type of land-use to be conducted within the new building, and, if you are constructing a multifamily, commercial, office, or industrial building, a site plan shall be submitted for review. For a brief overview of the site plan process, see below, or call the Project Planners at (615) 550-6732 or (615) 550-6734.
What is a site plan and what is its review process?
A site plan is the required submission for all structures built for multifamily, commercial, office, and industrial land-uses. The site plan, which is drawn to scale, includes lot lines, streets, building sites, formal and informal open space, landscaping, utilities, and natural features of the development site.
The first step for a site plan is for the applicant to request a pre-application conference, wherein city staff from the Planning, Engineering, Building and Neighborhood Services and Fire Departments provide initial reaction to the development. After the pre-application conference, the site plan may be submitted for review. Call (615) 791-3212 and ask for a Project Planner to discuss site plan review process.
Can I subdivide my property (residential or nonresidential)?
The first question that should be asked with a potential subdivision is "what is the property zoned." The answer may be found by contacting the Zoning Administrator at (615) 550-6738.
If all other size and acreage requirement are met under your current zoning, call (615) 791-3212 and ask for a Project Planner to discuss the subdivision of your property and the process that will be followed. If the current zoning would not allow the subdivision of your property, and you still wish to proceed, you may explore a possible rezoning of your property. Contact our Long Range Planner at (615) 550-6739 for more information.
