Lots 10 and 11 (Parcels 77.13 and 77.14 on Tax Map 83) within the same zoning
classification.

the effective date of rezoning, may be granted by the Planning Commission.
Staff recommended approval of the six (6) month extension of the Preliminary PRD Plan.
Chris Wakefield made the motion to approve the six (6) month extension of the

COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 6
JANUARY 25, 2016
phases with five (5) lots in Phase I and 36 lots in Phase II. The property is located at the
intersection of Old Sparta Road and Bob Bullock Road.
The subject property is identified on Tax Map 96 as Parcel 24.02 and Phase I contains
approximately 1.96 total acres. The overall Preliminary Plat for the proposed development
was granted conditional approval by the Planning Commission at the October 26, 2015
meeting and a revised preliminary plat was approved on November 23, 2015. The five (5)
lots in Phase I will all have access to Bob Bullock Road which is an existing city street
with a 50 foot right-of-way. The lots will be served by an existing six (6) inch water line.
There are two (2) fire hydrants within the required distance to provide adequate coverage
for fire protection. A newly installed pressurized sewer main will serve the lots and will
require the purchase and installation of a grinder pump for each house. A small area on the
eastern boundary of Lot 5 is hatched to denote that this area is in a Special Flood Hazard
Area on Flood Insurance Rate Map # 47141C0305D. This will require the completion of a
FEMA Pre-Construction Elevation Certificate by a licensed surveyor prior to the issuance
of a building permit.

Department of Public Works

his Cross Pointe Subdivision Phase II Preliminary Plat. As previously noted, the

phases with five (5) lots in Phase I and 36 lots in Phase II. The property is located at the
intersection of Old Sparta Road and Bob Bullock Road.
The subject property is identified on Tax Map 96 as Parcel 24.02 and Phase II contains
approximately 8.52 acres. The overall Preliminary Plat for the proposed development was
granted conditional approval by the Planning Commission at the October 26, 2015 meeting
and a revised preliminary plat was approved on November 23, 2015. Included as part of
the approval in November was the granting of the following variances relative to new
street construction: (1) reduction of right-of-ways from 50 feet to 40 feet; (2) reduction of
design speed limit from 30 mph to 20 mph; and (3) a reduction in the centerline radius
from typically 150 feet to 70 feet for a distance of 110 feet, then traveling 80 feet to the
next curve which will again be reduced from 110 feet to a 70 feet radius for 110 feet. The
developer indicated that the site topography prohibited him from meeting the required
standards. As noted on the plat all 36 lots in Phase II will only have driveway access to the
new street proposed as Cross Pointe Drive. A new six (6) inch water line is proposed as
well as an extension of the pressurized sewer main and one (1) new fire hydrant within the
required distance to provide adequate coverage for fire protection. There are no known
geologic constraints such as sinkholes, wetlands, streams or flood hazard areas indicated
using the available GIS data.
Staff recommended conditional approval of the Preliminary Plat subject to the following:
• Re-approval of the variances as requested at the November 2015 meeting as follows:
(1) to reduce the new street right-of-ways from 50 feet to 40 feet; (2) to reduce the
speed limit from 30 mph to 20 mph; and (3) a reduction in the centerline radius from
typically 150’ to 70’ for a distance of 110’, then traveling 80’ to the next curve which
will again be reduced from 110’ to a 70’ radius for 110’

CONSIDER FOR ACTION FINAL PLAT OF COPPER SPRINGS PHASE II, 4
LOTS LOCATED ON EAST SPRING STREET/HIGHWAY 70. REQUEST
SUBMITTED BY MEADOWS PROPERTIES. James Mills stated that property
owner/developer Mr. Donnie Meadows with Meadows Properties has submitted a Final
Plat of Copper Springs Phase II, a four (4) lot subdivision of their property located off East
Spring Street (U. S. Highway 70N). No preliminary plat was required because fewer than
ten (10) lots are proposed and they all have frontage on an existing street with access to
existing utilities.
The subdivision development property is identified on Tax Map 52O Group B as Parcels
9.00, 17.00 and 18.00 and consists of approximately 13.47 acres. The property has been
cleared of all existing structures. The property fronting on East Spring Street is zoned CL,
Local Commercial for a depth of approximately 600 feet. The remaining rear of the
property is zoned RS-20, Single Family Residential. Tracts 1-3 are shown on the plat as
being in the CL zone and Tract 4 is in the RS-20 zone. Adjacent properties also fronting
East Spring Street are zoned CL for a portion of the parcels, with the remainder zoned RS-
20. Lots 1-3 will have frontage on East Spring Street and the plat shows the existing right-
of-way is 66 feet; therefore no additional property dedication for right-of-way is required.
However, the recently constructed turn lane on East Spring Street in front of the property
should be depicted on the plat. The lots will be served by the existing 10 inch waterline
located in the street right-of-way. There is an existing fire hydrant located in the right-of-
way in front of the proposed Tract 1 that will provide coverage for fire protection for
Tracts 1 and 2. Hydrants for Tract 3 will be indicated on the Copper Springs Phase III
Preliminary Plat. Tract 4 will only be accessed via the street frontage on Rockwell Drive.
Sewer and water will also only be available to Tract 4 from lines located in the right-of-
way of Rockwell Drive. New water and sewer lines, fire hydrants and sidewalks etc. will
be shown on a future plat when Lot 4 is developed for single-family residential purposes.
Sewer is available to Tract 3 via a 20 feet wide sewer easement along the eastern property
boundary. A 20 feet wide sewer easement must be added to the plat to provide sewer
access to Tracts 1 and 2. In addition, a utility and access easement must be provided
between Tract 1 and Lot 1 of the Copper Springs Phase I Subdivision Plat to provide for
connection to Tract 3. New sidewalks along East Spring Street have already been installed
and should be shown on the plat. No areas of the parcels are shown on FIRM #
47141C0140D as being within a FEMA designated Special Flood Hazard Area. In
addition, there are no sinkhole retention areas indicated by the currently available data.
Staff recommended conditional final plat approval subject to the following:
COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 9

Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments
2) Addition of easements on plat to provide for access and utility connections including a

Phase II. Kay Starkweather seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.

the streets for which the City of Cookeville is responsible for maintenance and to reflect
the official names of these streets.
The recommended amendments are included in your information packet. Two (2) portions
of Laurel Avenue, from West 7th to West 8th Streets and from West 8th to West 9th Streets,
