Item removed from agenda. CONSIDER FOR ACTION THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF CABOT LANE SUBDIVISION (PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED AS W.P. BROWN SUBDIVISON) , SIXTEEN LOTS LOCATED AT 1501 BUNKER HILL ROAD. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY WILLOW PARK PARTNERS. Jon Ward stated that Mr. Jack Lynn with Willow Park Partners has submitted for approval a Preliminary Plat of Cabot Lane Subdivision, a 16 lot single family detached development of their property located in the 1500 block of Bunker Hill Road west of the intersection of Bunker Hill Road, White Road and Messenger Road. Analysis: The property proposed for development is identified on Tax Map 083 as Parcel 009.00 and contains approximately 5.90 acres. This property is zoned RS-10, (Single Family Residential) and all adjacent properties are zoned RS-15, (Single Family Residential). An existing house at 1501 Bunker Hill Road is to be removed as well as an existing shed. The plat depicts the creation of a new cul-de-sac approximately 367 feet in length. The length of the new street and the number of lots is well within the requirements for streets with one (1) point of access. A new four (4) foot wide sidewalk is proposed to be installed along the southern right-of-way of the new street. Public Works requires that the plat and street plans must depict a five (5) foot passing lane on the proposed sidewalk every 200 feet to comply with current ADA requirements. No new sidewalk is required along Bunker Hill Road as it is an existing street. The typical road section depicted on the plat also shows a curb and gutter profile with a two (2) foot grass strip between the curb and the sidewalk. Public Works requires that the developer submit street plans including a road profile, drainage plans to include storm water detention, water quality and grading plans. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 2 JULY 27, 2020 The Water Quality Control Department requires the submittal of State approved engineered plans for the provision of water and sewer. Water will connect to the six (6) inch line located in the Bunker Hill right- of-way. Sewer will tie in to the existing eight (8) inch gravity main also located in the right-of-way. There is an existing fire hydrant located at the southeast corner of Lot 3 in the Bunker Hill Road right- of-way and one (1) new hydrant is proposed at the terminus of the new cul-de-sac to provide adequate coverage for fire protection. The Electric Department requires that all electric is to be installed underground per CED specifications and easements shall be established as needed. The USFW GIS wetland area data indicates that a freshwater pond is located on the property in the area of the closed contour shown primarily on Lot 8. Whittenburg Surveying reports that a ground topography survey they completed on the site recently for the purposes of developing the property confirmed there is not a pond there and that the ground is dry. Public Works has verified the former pond area is dry and there is no wetland. Recommendation: 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 a street plan and profile with storm sewer and sidewalk details to the Department of Public Works for all new streets. Plan shall include typical road section, subgrade, base width and asphalt width  Developer shall submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to the Department of Public Works  Developer must provide easements as required by the utilities  Developer must submit State approved water (including fire hydrants) and sewer plans to the Water Quality Control Department  Developer shall submit plans for the installation of underground electric per the Electric Department design requirements  Developer to provide all conduit for underground communications facilities, CAD files and electrical layout plan to Frontier Communications  Developer accepts responsibility to make arrangements with the USPS for mail delivery  Completion of corrections or addition to the plat as determined necessary by the Planning Department and/or other city departments Kay Starkweather made the motion to approve the request recommended by staff. Jim Cobb seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL. CONSIDER FOR ACTION THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF PRESCOTT HEIGHTS, SEVEN (7) LOTS LOCATED AT WEST CEMETERY ROAD AND WHITE ROAD. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY FOWLER & SONS CONSTRUCTION, LLC. Jon Ward stated that Mr. Russ Fowler with Fowler and Sons Construction, LLC has submitted for approval a Preliminary Plat of the Prescott Heights Division, a seven (7) lot single family detached development located on West Cemetery Road and White Road. Although the proposed development has less than 10 lots and has frontage on existing streets a preliminary plat is required because sewer will have to be extended to serve the lots fronting West Cemetery Road. Analysis: The subject property is identified on Tax Map 083J Group C as Parcel 005.00. The property contains approximately 3.39 acres and is zoned RS-10 (Single Family Residential) as are all adjacent parcels. Lots 2-7 will front West Cemetery Road and Lot 1 will front White Road. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 3 JULY 27, 2020 Water will be served by an existing eight (8) inch water line in the right-of-way of West Cemetery Road and a six (6) inch water line located in the right-of-way of White Road. There is an existing eight (8) inch gravity sewer main located in the right-of-way of White Road that will serve Lot 1. An eight (8) inch gravity sewer main in the right-of-way of West Cemetery Road terminates at a manhole located near the southwest corner of the subject property. The developers will be required to extend this sewer line to serve Lots 2-7. State approved water and sewer line plans must be submitted to the Department of Water Quality Control. In addition, there are three (3) existing fire hydrants located within the required proximity for fire protection. The Cookeville Electric Department requires that the developer provide utility easements as needed and that they open and close all underground electric ditches per C.E.D. specifications. There are no topographic constraints indicated by available GIS data, such as sinkholes, wetlands or FEMA special flood hazard areas on the site. However, Public Works has noted that there will be significant grading required for the lots fronting West Cemetery Road. Recommendation: The Planning Department recommends conditional approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following:  Developer must submit State approved water and sewer plans to the Water Quality Control Department  Developer accepts responsibility to make arrangements with the USPS for mail delivery  Completion of corrections or additions to the plat as determined necessary by the Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments Kay Starkweather made the motion to approve the request recommended by staff. Chris Wakefield seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER FOR ACTION AMENDMENTS TO THE COOKEVILLE MUNICIPLE CODE, TITLE 15, “MOTOR VEHICLES, TRAFFIC & PARKING”, INSERTING A NEW CHAPTER 9, “RESIDENTIAL PARKING DISTRICTS”. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY STAFF. Jon Ward stated that City of Cookeville representatives have heard concerns from residents regarding student parking along East 8th Street. These concerns are specifically with Tennessee Tech students utilizing East 8th Street for on-street parking. The proposed Municipal Code Amendment would establish a means to establish Residential Parking Districts within the City of Cookeville. Analysis: The proposed Ordinance would amend in Title 15, “Motor Vehicles, Traffic, and Parking”, by adding a new Chapter 9, entitled “Residential Parking Districts”. The Residential Parking District Chapter will establish provisions for the Cookeville City Council to authorize Residential Parking Districts along city streets within the City Limits of Cookeville. The ordinance would establish a process for residents to petition to establish a Residential Parking District and obtain Residential Parking Permits for resident vehicles and two (2) guest permits per household, and will also include penalties for any non-permitted vehicle parking on the street during days/times when parking is prohibited by any non-resident motorist. A summary of the proposed ordinance is as follows:  Residential Parking Districts will be authorized by Resolution by the City Council.  A petition must be submitted to the Planning Department containing two-thirds or 66% of the dwelling units in the proposed area, defined as minimum of two (2) adjacent block faces and the block faces on the opposite side of the street. A Block Face is defined as all the properties on one (1) side of a given street existing between two (2) consecutive intersecting streets.  Upon receipt of a valid petition, the Planning Department will conduct a parking study to evaluate parking utilization during peak periods. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 4 JULY 27, 2020  The Planning Department will make a recommendation to the City Council based on the petition and results of the study on whether or not to designate an area as a Residential Parking District and the hours to authorize such restrictions.  The City Council will hold a public hearing and approve or reject the petition to establish a Residential Parking District.  The City Council, by resolution to establish a Residential Parking District, will establish permit fees associated with establishment of the district. The motivation for the proposed ordinance results from residents of East 8th Street who have concerns about student commuter parking. East 8th Street is utilized by Tennessee Tech students for on street parking when classes are in session. City of Cookeville representatives have had multiple meetings with Mrs. Susan Vandergriff on behalf of the residents. Mrs. Vandergriff claims that escalated student parking produces significant increased congestion and decreased driving safety. East 8th Street has a wide pavement width to accommodate on-street parking, however, some who utilize on-street do not adhere to required parking standards. The Planning Department is not aware of any other streets in the City where commuter parking along a residential street is as prevalent as it is on East 8th Street. However, it is important to note that the Ordinance would establish a means for residents in other areas of the City to petition to implement Residential Parking Districts. On-street parking is regulated in Title 15, Chapter 6 of the Cookeville Municipal Code. The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of revisions to parking requirements at the September 25, 2017 Planning Commission meeting. These amendments were approved by the City Council and became effective in December 2017. East 8th Street is a classified as a local street as included in the Classification of Thoroughfares. On-street parking is permitted on East 8th Street based on provisions of the Cookeville Municipal Code. The Planning Department analyzed on-street parking along East 8th Street. From our analysis, we determined that 47 parking spaces can be accommodated along the street that meet City of Cookeville established parking guidelines. The Cookeville Police Department has also provided a summary of vehicle accident data for East 8th Street from North Jefferson Avenue to North Washington Avenue. From a period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2020, (8years, 6 months) accident data for this street segment shows four (4) reported accidents, all of which were property damage only. Including the intersection of North Jefferson Avenue and East 8th Street and North Washington Avenue and East 8th Street there were three (3) additional accidents, again, all of which were property damage only. There are 19 residential properties with street frontage along East 8th Street. Mrs. Vandergriff submitted a petition with signatures from 12 property owners requesting that residential only parking be instituted Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Since accepting the petition, one (1) resident has contacted the planning department and asked for their name be removed from the petition. Mrs. Vandergriff has asked that the Ordinance only require a petition of a simple majority of the properties. The Planning Department recommends a super majority, (2/3 majority or 66%) to avoid a scenario where the change of ownership of one or two residents could result in a petition to remove an area from an established parking district. Also, Mrs. Vandergriff has asked to provide permits on a three (3) year basis. The Planning Department consulted with the City Clerk’s Office and the proposed Ordinance includes Residential Parking Permits issued on a calendar year basis. Costs estimates associated with establishing a District are included below. Using East 8th Street as an example, Mrs. Vandergriff has requested eight (8) signs be installed within the District. The Public Works Department has confirmed that sign costs are $150 per sign (8x$150=$1,200). Also, estimated permit label costs for 19 households range from approximately $193 to $328 dollars per year and guest tag costs range from $170 to $245 per year. Permit fees will be determined by City Council by the same COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 5 JULY 27, 2020 Resolution that would establish a Residential Parking District based on the conditions of the area under consideration. The proposed Ordinance would restrict commuter use of the public right-of-way for nonresidents along city streets. Also, once established any resident or their guests who are parked in a defined District that have not obtained a Residential Parking Permit would be in violation and cited accordingly. Although an analysis of East 8th Street has been provided, this Ordinance would apply to any city streets that legally permit on-street parking. Also, if the Ordinance is approved, residents of East 8th Street must satisfy the conditions of the Ordinance in order to establish a Residential Parking District. Recommendation: The proposed Ordinance would address issues of nonresident commuter parking along City Streets. Jim Cobb asked if households with driveway parking have to purchase parking permits. Jon Ward stated that the permits are for street parking and if the homeowner wants to park on the street that they will need to purchase a permit. Eric Walker stated that those who do not want to participate in the Residential Parking Program will still need to abide by the ordinance. Jim Cobb asked if the residents will be held responsible for the signage costs. Jon Ward stated that per the ordinance, residents will pay for the permits, signage and administration fees through the permit costs. Jim Cobb asked why would the city pay for the Historic Zoning signs but would require residents to pay for the Residential Parking Program. Jon Ward stated that the ordinance can be revised. If there is no fee for the residents, the cost burden is passed on to the tax payers for the residents on that street. If the ordinance is approved and the 8th Street District comes to the board to set up a Residential Parking District, the Planning Commission can determine if the cost be covered by the residents or the city. Kay Starkweather asked if those who do not participate will still have to pay. Jon Ward stated that the permit fees would cover the costs and if they do not participate in the program then they do not pay. Eric Walker stated that permit costs would cover the program. He brought up the idea of a temporary guest pass instead of a yearly pass in order to decrease the chance of someone selling their guest parking pass. Mr. Walker asked if the Planning Commission would determine how many parking spaces would be used by the Residential Parking District. Jon Ward stated that the parking study would determine the implementation of the program. Eric Walker stated that alternate remedies might be a possible solution for the parking issue such as painting parking spaces and that the Residential Parking Program alone won’t fix the parking issue. He stated that the parking spots need to be painted in order to be enforced. Jim Cobb stated that in the ordinance, it mentions that a participant must prove that their parking pass had been stolen and how do they go about proving that. Jon Ward stated that according to the ordinance, the participant must file a police report to report the tag as missing or stolen. Kay Starkweather asked if the city plans on painting the parking spaces on 8th Street. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 6 JULY 27, 2020 Jon Ward stated that painting parking spaces creates an ongoing maintenance issue but the painting could happen if Public Works is directed to by the City Manager. Kay Starkweather asked the audience if just painting parking spaces would suffice. Susan Vandergriff of 298 East 8th Street stated that painting parking spaces would be nice but it would not prevent students from parking there. Kris Ballanger of 287 East 8th Street echoed her families support for the ordinance and stated that the parking situation has gotten out of hand since Tennessee Tech has implemented their parking permit fees. Douglas Airhart stated that he owns the property at 322 East 8th Street but does not live there. He mentioned that he faculty of Tennessee Tech and has to park in front of his property when he commutes to work due to parking on campus being so bad. He understands that he is contributing to the problem and would like to see a solution. Greg Vandergriff of 298 East 8th Street stated that the proposed Residential Parking Area only includes Single-Family Residential zoning and has no adverse effect on businesses. Isaac Zuercher of 271 East 8th Street stated that the neighborhood is old and was designed for street parking and that the driveways are single lane which forces residents who park in their driveway have to shuffle around their cars in order to leave. Mr. Zuercher also stated that if you leave your home in the middle of the day that you are not going to be able to park in the vicinity of your home due to Tech students taking the parking spot. John & Carol Bartlett of 262 East 8th Street stated that the trash pickup is a problem. There has been times where the trash cannot be picked up due to cars being parked too close to their driveway and the garbage truck cannot get close enough to pick it up. Eric Walker stated that the proposed ordinance allows one way for Residential Parking Districts to be set up and maybe there are alternative ways to go about it. He recommended that the Planning Commission needs more time to iron out the details of the ordinance. He stated that the ordinance doesn’t immediately fix the problem on 8th Street and that they would need to submit another petition and go under a parking study before the district is designated. Jim Cobb made the motion to postpone the request until the August 24th Planning Commission meeting. Leslie Sullins Draper seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. POSTPONED UNTIL AUGUST 24TH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. CONSIDER FOR ACTION SIX (6) MONTH EXTENSION OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF UNIVERSITY CENTER TOWNHOMES PHASE II, 14 SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED LOTS LOCATED AT EAST 12TH STREET, AUTUMN AVENUE AND BRANDON DRIVE.

The Preliminary Plat was approved by the Planning Commission on January 27, 2019 for a period of one (1) year. On January 27, 2020 the Planning Commission granted an initial six (6) month extension.
