the right to purchase, if closure and abandonment are approved, one-half the right-of-
way along which the property is contiguous),
• Review by applicable city departments,
• Review and approval of Planning Commission,
• Approval by City Council, and
• Purchase of property based on a value established by the City Manager (any appraisal
and/or recording costs to be paid for by the petitioner). An analysis of the tax
appraised land values for the parcels adjacent to the alley and street right-of-ways
indicates an average land value of $4.49 per square foot.
The proposed closure has been submitted to and approved by all applicable city
departments. There are a number of existing utility lines located within the right-of-ways,
including water, sewer, gas and electric. Each of the applicable utility departments have
requested that easements be retained for any utility lines that are not to be abandoned
and/or relocated.
Staff recommended approval of the closure and abandonment of the requested alley and
streets and for the declaration of the right-of-ways as surplus property for sale to TTU at a
price approved by the City Council subject to the retention of easements, as specified by
the applicable utility department, for any utility lines that will not be abandoned or
relocated.
Philip Oldham stated they will be breaking ground on the new Fitness Center in April and
that the facility will be an asset to the community.

Johnny Hammock has submitted a request for a second six (6) month extension of the
approval of the Preliminary Plat for the Johnny Hammock Division, a proposed 16 lot
subdivision of property located off Huddleston Drive. The Preliminary Plat was originally
conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on July 21, 2015 for a period of one
year and a six (6) month extension was approved by the Planning Commission on July 21,
2016.
As provided in Article II, Section D, Subsection 9 of the Subdivision Regulations, an

Commission provided a $50.00 fee is submitted with the request. Mr. Hammock submitted
the fee with his request for an extension. No work has begun to install improvements on
the site, nor have any changes been made to the plat since the most recent preliminary plat
was approved.

JANUARY 23, 2017
Official Street Map are necessary due to the construction of one new street, the extension
of one existing street, the renaming of one street and the closure of one street and portions
of two others in 2016. The purpose of the Official Street Map is to depict 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. Old Sparta Road
was extended approximately 554 feet to provide access to Rivers Edge Drive which was
constructed as a part of a new subdivision. Design Drive was renamed as Rich Froning
Way. Hargis Drive was closed and abandoned through Ordinance No. O16-06-15 and
portions of East 2nd Street and Poplar Avenue were closed and abandoned through
Ordinance No. O16-02-03.
Staff recommended approval of the amendments to the Official Street Map.
Jim Woodford made the motion to approve the amendments to the Official Street Map.
Chris Wakefield seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. APPROVED

CONSIDER FOR ACTION RESUBMITTAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF
THE COTTAGES OF COOKEVILLE, 49 LOTS LOCATED OFF MCCULLEY
ROAD AND SPRINGBORO ROAD. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY TIM
HUDDLESTON. STAFF HAS REQUESTED THAT THIS ITEM BE MOVED
FROM STUDY TO ACTION, SINCE NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE THIS
PLAT WAS ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED. MOVING THIS ITEM FROM STUDY
TO ACTION REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
Ken Young stated that Mr. Tim Huddleston has resubmitted for approval a Preliminary
Plat of The Cottages, a proposed 49 lot single family residential development of his
property situated north of Springboro Road and south of McCulley Road. This
development was originally granted preliminary approval in July 2010 and has been
subsequently extended and renewed multiple times, the most recent being September of
2015. There have been no changes to the Subdivision Regulations during this time.
The property proposed for development is identified on Tax Map 52 as Parcel 49.00 and
consists of approximately 15.50 acres. This parcel was rezoned from RS-20 to RS-10 (both
single family residential) in 2010. All of the adjacent properties are zoned RS-20. One new
road with the proposed name of “Cottage Way” will connect at Springboro Road in the
south and at McCulley Road in the north in order to provide two points of ingress and
egress. In addition, the plat depicts a new cul-de-sac with a proposed name of “Cottage
Lane” that will serve the lots in the western portion of the property. The new streets are
proposed with integral extruded mountable curbing and gutter on both sides. At the time of
the original preliminary approval in July 2010 the developer was granted a variance to
reduce the required right-of-way of the new streets from 45 feet to 40 feet. At the same
meeting the developer also was granted a variance to reduce the diameter of new cul-de-
sac from 100 feet to 90 feet with a pavement diameter of 80 feet. A new four (4) foot wide
sidewalk is proposed for construction along the front of all the interior lots.
COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 8
JANUARY 23, 2017
A new six (6) inch waterline is proposed for the development which is currently planned to
connect to the existing six (6) inch waterlines located in the right-of-ways of Springboro
and McCulley. New hydrants are proposed for the development that will meet the spacing
requirements of the regulations. In 2010 the developer reached an agreement with the City
regarding the provision of public sewer in the general area. This project has been
completed and the plat shows the property will be served by the newly installed eight (8)
inch sewer line. The plans for the proposed on-site sewer infrastructure have been
submitted to the Water Quality Control Department and have been approved by the State
of Tennessee. As shown on the plat, existing structures located on Lot 39 are to be
removed as well as a house located partially in the area of Lot 1. No portion of the subject
property is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area according to the Flood Insurance Rate
Maps for the area. However, a portion of Lot 39 and the area of the intersection of
Springboro Road and the proposed new street “Cottage Way” are indicated as being in a
sinkhole retention area according to the Sinkhole Floodplain Report prepared by TTU and
adopted by the City. The elevation of this area is shown on the plat as 1,122 feet and is
labeled as an unbuildable area. The plat also shows preliminary storm water retention and
detention areas along the western and eastern boundaries of the subject property. The areas
along the western property boundary are within a 75 feet wide TVA easement. The
developer will be required to submit written approval from TVA to locate any drainage
features within this area. Finally, as shown on the plat, the developer is dedicating right-of-
way along both existing roads measuring 25 feet from the centerlines to the property
boundary as required by the regulations.
Staff recommended conditional approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following:
• Developer must schedule and attend a pre-construction meeting with all the appropriate
city departments,
• Developer understands and agrees that all right-of-ways must be cleared prior to any
installation of utilities,
• Developer must submit written TVA approval for location of drainage features to be
located within the TVA easement,
• Developer must submit a street construction plan and profile with storm sewer and
sidewalk details to the Department of Public Works. Plan shall include typical street
section, subgrade, base width, asphalt width and 3:1 slopes,
• Developer will work with Public Works to establish appropriate radius at street
intersections,
• Developer must provide utility easements along road frontages on the new streets and
along existing streets as requested by the utility departments, and
• Completion of corrections or additions to the plat as determined necessary by the
Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments.
Jim Woodford made the motion to grant conditional Preliminary Plat approval of The
Cottages. Jim Cobb seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
CONDITIONAL PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL.
CONSIDER FOR ACTION FINAL PLAT OF WEST END NEIGHBORHOOD
PHASE II-A, 5 LOTS LOCATED ON WEST END STREET. REQUEST
COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 9
JANUARY 23, 2017
SUBMITTED BY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. Ken Young stated that Pam Ealey of
Habitat for Humanity has submitted for approval a Final Plat of West End Neighborhood
Phase II-A. These five (5) lots were previously included as part of the 18 lot Phase II
Preliminary Plat conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on March 26, 2016.
The subject property is identified on Tax Map 53H Group A as Parcel 42.00 and is zoned
RD, “Single-family and Duplex Residential”. Adjacent properties to the north, northwest
and east are zoned as RS-10 “Single family Residential”. Phase II-A contains 0.77 acres of
the parcel instead of 4.54 acres as previously approved on the preliminary plat. The 0.20
acre Lot 17-A shown on the plat is remaining common area and is not a building lot. Lots
4-7 are detached single family building lots that have rear driveway access to a newly
constructed 20 feet wide public alley that terminates in a hammer-head turnaround design.
This new alley (name to be determined) intersects with a recently constructed public street
named Ealey Avenue that connects with West End Street. The developer was given
approval by the Planning Commission at the July 2015 meeting to reduce the right-of-way
width requirement from 50 feet to 40 feet for the new streets to be constructed in the
development. Public Works and the utility departments agreed to the reduction provided
that all the easements bordering along the new street frontages be increased from 10 feet to
15 feet. Engineer David Allmon has confirmed that a new sewer connection with two (2)
manholes has been installed in the right-of-way of West End Street to serve the lots. Water
service for the new lots will be connected to the existing six (6) inch water line located in
the right-of-way of West End Street. The current available GIS data does not indicate that
there are any sinkholes, wetlands or waterways on the property. In addition, the property is
not located in a FEMA NFIP Special Flood Hazard Area.
Staff recommended conditional approval of the Final Plat, subject to any additions and/or
corrections as requested by the Planning Department and/or other appropriate city
departments.
Chris Wakefield made the motion to grant conditional Final Plat approval of West End
Neighborhood Phase II-A. Jim Woodford seconded the motion and the motion carried
