Change in Sewer Policy – The Sewer Policy, and the Board’s recent changes to it, may seem complex at first glance. For residents who have sewer access, it’s easy to assume this is a “problem that doesn’t affect me.” In reality, it does, and here’s why:
1. Lots with sewer access, even those within 300 feet of an existing sewer line, are no longer guaranteed connection.
2. Property classifications have effectively been downgraded. “A” lots within 300 feet of a sewer are now treated as “B” lots, and “B” lots are now treated as “C” lots.
3. Sewer installation has alway been an independent decision of the Board. Sewer installation is now limited to paved roads. Because the Declarant controls where roads are paved, he has significant control over where sewers are installed.
4. Taken together, these changes, and their cascading effects, pose a serious risk to the continued growth, development, and long-term viability of Fairfield Glade. Click here for more information,
Attorney General Investigation – On March 31, 2026, the Attorney General for the State of Tennessee sent a letter to the Club’s legal counsel, Kenneth Chadwell, stating that it had begun a formal investigation and wanted three-years worth of financial, governance, and other documents. On April 23, 2026, three weeks later, Board President Greg Jones shared an announcement of the investigation with those in attendance at the monthly board meeting.

Who's Really Shaping our Growth Policies?
That’s a question whose answer should be of concern to all members. Is it JT Smith, the Construction Manager for Tom Anderson’s Fairfield Glade Homes? Someone who sits on the Architectural Control Committee?
