Ken Young stated that property owner David Harris has submitted for approval a Final Plat of the Revision of Lot 34 and a Portion of Lots 1-3 of the SMT Subdivision, a four (4) lot single family detached residential development of his property located on White Road. The property proposed for development is identified on Tax Map 083J Group D as Parcel 011.00 and consists of approximately 1.701 acres. A single family house with detached garage and detached carport are located on Lot 4. Lot 3 contains a shed and Lots 1 and 2 are vacant tracts. The property is zoned RS-10, single family residential, as are adjacent properties to the north, south and west. The property to the east is zoned as CG, general commercial. As per the Subdivision Regulations, the proposal does not require prior preliminary plat approval due to the fact it contains less than 10 lots and all infrastructure is existing. The Water Quality Control Department advised that the existing six-inch waterline and the eight-inch gravity sewer line located in the right-of-way of White Road will COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 2 SEPTEMBER 22, 2014 adequately serve the lots. There is an existing fire hydrant located in the right-of-way at the intersection of White Road and Pigeon Road north of the property and a second hydrant located to the south in the right-of-way of White Road. The separation between the hydrants is 1164 feet which Cookeville Fire Chief Roger Fuqua has deemed acceptable to provide adequate coverage for fire protection to the lots. The frontage of all lots is 25’ from the centerline of White Road so no right-of-way dedication is required for future road improvements. There are no natural geographic constraints on the property, such as sinkholes, wetlands or special flood hazard areas. Staff recommended approval of the final plat as submitted, subject to additions and corrections as requested by the Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments. Dr. Roy Loutzenheiser made the motion to approve the final plat as submitted, subject to additions and corrections as requested by the Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments. Jim Woodford seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. APPROVED.

Ken Young stated that Mr. Andy Milton, on behalf of Clark & Jett Properties, LLC, has submitted a Final Plat of the Re-division of Lots 1-5 Ridgecrest North End Division located off Eastgate Circle. This fifteen lot residential development is a re-subdivision of the five (5) lots in the Ridgecrest North End Division plat that was approved by the Planning Commission on May 24, 2010 and recorded on June 4, 2010. The subject property is identified on Tax Map 052B Group A as Parcels 011.00, 012.00, 041.00, 041.01 and 041.02 and consists of approximately 1.30 acres.

The purpose of the proposed re-division is to create separate lots for each unit in order to facilitate individual sale of the units. Eastgate Circle was constructed and subsequently approved as a city street. All remaining infrastructure is existing and there are no natural geographic constraints on the property, such as sinkholes, wetlands or special flood hazard areas. Staff recommended final conditional approval subject to the completion of corrections or additions to the Final Plat as determined necessary by the Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments.
