Jim Cobb made the motion to approve the postponement request. Leslie Sullins seconded the request and the request carried unanimously. APPROVED. CONSIDER FOR ACTION THE FINAL PLAT OF HOLLADAY HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION, THREE (3) LOTS LOCATED AT CLAY AVENUE AND FREEDOM AVENUE. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY UP HOLDINGS, LLC. Jon Ward stated that Mr. James Nelson on behalf of Up Holdings, LLC, has submitted for approval the Final Plat for Revised Lots 1-6 and 28-56 of Block I of the Holladay Heights Subdivision, a three (3) lot subdivision of property located at the corner of Freedom Avenue and Clay Avenue. Analysis: The property is identified on Tax Map 054D, Group B as Parcel 001.00, containing approximately 0.71 acres. Proposed Lot 2 contains an existing single-family house at 314 Freedom Avenue, proposed Lots 1 and 3 are vacant. The property is zoned RS-10 (single-family residential) and is adjacent to RS-10 to the east, north and west and HM, Heavy Manufacturing to the south. As per the Subdivision Regulations, the proposal does not require prior preliminary plat approval due to the fact it contains less than ten (10) lots, and all infrastructure is existing. There is a six (6) inch waterline on Freedom Avenue and Clay Avenue that serve fire hydrants located on the south side of the Clay Avenue and the north side of Freedom Avenue that are within the required proximity for fire protection. This water line transitions to a two-inch (2”) water line to serve the proposed lots. Eight- inch (8”) and twelve-inch (12”) gravity sewer lines serve the properties. There are no mapped natural geographic constraints on the property, such as sinkholes, wetlands or special flood hazard areas. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 2 MAY 24TH, 2021 Recommendation: Conditional approval of the Final Plat as submitted, subject to additions and corrections as requested by the Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments. Kay Starkweather made the motion to approve the request recommended by staff. Jim Woodford seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. APPROVED. CONSIDER FOR ACTION SIX (6) MONTH EXTENSION OF THE REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT OF DOWNTON NORTH, 19 LOTS LOCATED ON EAST HUDGENS STREET. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY JERRY GAW. Jon Ward stated that developer Jerry Gaw has submitted a request for a second six (6) month extension of his Downton North Preliminary Plat, which is a 19-lot single family attached development of his property located between East Spring Street and East Hudgens Street across from Downton Square. A revised 20 lot plat was previously considered and approved at the November 25, 2019 Planning Commission meeting for a period of one (1) year. A six (6) month extension was granted with the revised 19 lot plat on November 23rd, 2020, which also served as a six (6) month extension of the preliminary plat. Analysis: As provided in Article II, Section D, Subsection 9 of the Subdivision Regulations, two (2) six (6) month extensions can be applied for by the developer and granted by the 2 Planning Commission provided a $50.00 fee is submitted with the request. Mr. Gaw submitted the fee along with his written request for another extension. Recommendation: Approval of the request for a second six (6) month extension of the preliminary plat subject to all conditions as established by the Planning Commission on November 19th, 2019. Jim Woodford made the motion to approve the request recommended by staff. Leslie Sullins seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. APPROVED. CONSIDER FOR ACTION THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF REESER PLACE, FIVE (5) LOTS LOCATED OFF MINE LICK CREEK ROAD AND REESER LANE. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY ANDY HAMMOCK. Jon Ward stated that Mr. Andy Hammock has submitted for approval the Final Plat for Reeser Place, a five (5) lot subdivision of property located at the corner of Reeser Lane and Mine Lick Creek Road. Analysis: The property is identified on Tax Map 065, as Parcel 005.02, containing approximately 2.99 acres. All proposed lots are vacant lots for single-family residential development. The property is zoned RS-20 (single-family residential) and is adjacent to RS-20 on all sides. The Subdivision Regulations do not require prior preliminary plat approval for subdivisions containing less than ten (10) lots, with existing infrastructure. All street and utility infrastructure is in place with the exception of a fire hydrant. The developers has requested conditional approval subject to installation of the required fire hydrant. There is a four (4) inch and thirty (30) inch waterline on Mine Lick Creek Road and a two (2) inch water line on Reeser Lane. No sanitary sewer services is available in the area. The properties will be served by subsurface sewage disposal (septic) systems and evaluated by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation accordingly. No fire hydrant is located in the area to provide sufficient fire protection, and the development will require the installation of new fire hydrant. The Water Quality Control Department and Fire Department both reviewed this proposal prior to submittal of the plat. Upon their evaluation and recommendation, a new hydrant will be installed on the four (4) inch water line on Mine Lick Creek Road that will provide sufficient pressure and flow for fire protection. The WQC Department has negotiated purchase of the water service area within the Cookeville City Limits from Double Springs Utility District and the City will take ownership of the system in August 2021. The WQC Department stated they will be upgrading the four (4) inch water line and resetting fire hydrants in the near future. There are no mapped natural geographic constraints on the property, such as sinkholes, wetlands or special flood hazard areas. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 3 MAY 24TH, 2021 Recommendation: Conditional approval of the Final Plat as submitted, subject to installation of the fire hydrant, septic evaluation and approval from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, and additions and/or corrections as requested by the Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments. Jim Woodford made the motion to approve the request recommended by staff. Jim Cobb seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. APPROVED. CONSIDER FOR ACTION THE REZONING OF ONE PARCEL LOCATED ON BUFFALO VALLEY ROAD (TAX MAP 054 093.03) FROM RS-10 (SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) TO RS-5 (SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL). REQUEST SUBMITTED BY AARON BERNHARDT. Jon Ward stated that Mr. Aaron Bernhardt submitted a request to rezone from RS- 10, Single Family Residential to RS-5, Single Family Residential property located on Buffalo Valley Road. Analysis: The subject property is identified as Parcel 93.03 on Tax Map 54 and consists of approximately 10.2 acres. It is contiguous on all sides with properties zoned as RS-20, Single Family Residential. The property is currently undeveloped. The Planning Commission recommended rezoning the property from RS-20 to RS-10 on April 23, 2018. The rezoning was approved by the City Council in June 2018 and became effective on July 6, 2018. The Planning Commission denied a rezoning request from RS-10, Single Family Residential to RM8 Multi-Family Residential on September 28, 2020. The RS-10 District is intended to provide a moderate density single-family residential environment where public wastewater services are available. A minimum land area of 10,000 square feet per dwelling unit is required. The RS-5 District is intended to provide a moderate-density single-family residential environment in areas where public sewer is available, with a minimum land area requirement of 5,000 square feet per dwelling unit. Public sewer service is available to the subject property. Mr. Bernhardt submitted a conceptual development plan with the rezoning request. This plan depicts a proposed new public street with two (2) points of ingress/egress on Buffalo Valley Road. A preliminary review by the Public Works Department indicates that sight distance for the proposed access points would be acceptable. The concept contains 47 lots ranging in size from 18,334 sq. ft. to 5,033 sq. ft., with an average lot size of 7,795 sq. ft. per lot. The submitted survey consists of 10.11 total acres or 440,391 sq. ft. This represents an overall density of 9,370 sq. ft. for 47 units for the total property, including proposed street rights-of-way. The raw density of the property at the current RS- 10 Zoning designation would allow for 44 units. While some land area would be unavailable for lot density due to right-of-way dedication, the proposal would represent an increase in density of three (3) units for the overall maximum density. Mr. Bernhardt also submitted a Sewer Service Availability Request to the Water Quality Control Department for the 47 proposed single-family lots. The WQC Department issued an approval on May 4, 2021 for not more than 47 single family homes. The Cookeville 2030 Plan depicts the property as being suitable for lower density residential development. At the time the plan was prepared public wastewater service was not available to the subject parcel. The property is located in an area annexed by the city in 1983. It is noted in the 2030 Plan that to accommodate anticipated growth, significant portions of the land area will have to be rezoned when the appropriate infrastructure is provided. Sewer service was extended to this area in 2004, and sewer infrastructure justified the previous action to rezone from RS-20 to RS-10. In the opinion of the Planning Department, the previous request to rezone the property to RM8 that was denied in September 2020 was not compliant with the Future Land Use classification of lower density COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 4 MAY 24TH, 2021 residential. The RM8 District allows for multi-4 family apartments, and higher density single-family development including townhomes and cluster homes whereby a raw density calculation could be used for the overall property area. The 10.11 acre tract would allow for 88 units for higher density development in the RM8 District. The area consists mainly of only single-family detached homes. When the request was previously denied, the petitioner submitted the request to rezone to RM8 to allow for townhome development. The Planning Department recommended that the petitioner consider Planned Residential Development (PRD) Zoning for a higher density zoning classification, however, the rezoning request is speculative as the petitioner had the property listed for sale and submitted the rezoning request to market the property. The PRD Zone requires detailed plans depicting the exact nature of development. Mr. Bernhardt has stated that he plans to construct a development similar to the Cross Pointe development located on Old Sparta Road and Bob Bullock Road. The proposed rezoning and has similar characteristics to the property that was rezoned to RS5 for the Cross Pointe development. The Future Land Use classification is consistent. Old Sparta Road is classified as a Minor Collector and Buffalo Valley Road is classified as a Major Collector. 2020 traffic counts for Buffalo Valley Road west of Holladay Road nearer to the proposed rezoning provides an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 2,716 vehicles, and 4,653 ADT east of Holladay Road. Buffalo Valley Road is classified as a Major Collector street that has no shoulders or pedestrian infrastructure. City officials have identified Buffalo Valley Road as a street improvement project from West Jackson Street to just east of Holladay Road. There is no timetable for improvements currently. An analysis of Buffalo Valley Road included in the 2017 Cookeville Major Street Plan Update provided the segment from the City Limits to West Jackson Street had an acceptable level of service. 2040 no-build projected level of service was also acceptable. The Planning Department requested accident data from the Cookeville Police Department for Buffalo Valley Road in the vicinity of the request. The past five (5) years of accident data showed no accidents with injuries for a segment extending approximately 300 feet to the east and west of the site. For the five (5) year period, data shows six (6) crashes at the intersection of Buffalo Valley Road and Holladay Road, and of those six (6) only one (1) since 2017. In the opinion of the Planning Department, the data does not indicate safety concerns for accidents in the area. Recommendation: Approval of rezoning request Mr. Aaron Bernhardt stated that he plans on 47 units that have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths at 1,500 to 2,000 square feet. He plans on putting up a fence around the perimeter. Kay Starkweather asked if there will be sidewalks. Aaron Bernhardt responded yes, sidewalks are required around the subdivision and along Buffalo Valley Road. Patty Reab, 923 Buffalo Valley Road, stated that the proposed rezoning is directly across the street from her and asked how it will affect her property. Aaron Bernhardt stated that it would be an insignificant impact. Mrs. Reab stated that the wooded lot beside her home is inhabited by many wildlife species and is curious as to how this development will affect them. Aaron Bernhardt stated that he can’t speak to the wildlife issue but his development has heavy planting and tree landscaping and that he could put deer crossing signs around the road. Mrs. Reab asked how the noise will affect the surrounding properties. Mr. Bernhardt told everyone to check out the Cross Pointe Subdivision. That parcel is almost the same as what is proposed and has limited noise issues. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 5 MAY 24TH, 2021 Rob Reab, 923 Buffalo Valley Road stated that the parcel is surrounded by low density zoning and the rezoning request will put a higher density in the middle of low density development. Mr. Bernhardt stated that the houses he builds are typically sold to older residents, which in turn are quieter neighborhoods. Mr. Reab asked if there will be a single entrance to the development. Mr. Bernhardt stated that he is required to construct two entrances and due to the sewer line, he probably won't be able to construct 47 units. Mrs. Reab asked about the speeding issue on Buffalo Valley and how a new neighborhood will only add to the issue. Mr. Bernhardt stated that he can build the entrance up so that people would be able to see both ways. David Turnage, 920 Buffalo Valley Road, stated that his main concern with this development is traffic. The excessive speeding on the straight stretch of road around the proposed rezoning will lead to someone getting hurt and stated that he is also concerned about noise. There are older families living around the area and they want to keep it peaceful. Patricia Hall, 930 Buffalo Valley Road, stated that she owns the seven (7) acres adjoining the back of the proposed rezoning property. She stated that the neighbors still strongly disagree with the proposed rezoning, with the property being surrounded by RS20, low density property, the area will be too crowded if rezoned and will be too much for their country neighborhood. She stated that it is hard enough to get out of the driveway currently and that the traffic will only get worse if this is approved. She does not recommend that the rezoning be approved. Mrs. Reab asked what the differences in RS-10 and RS-5 are. Aaron Bernhardt stated that RS-5 allows more flexibility in the design of the development. Josh Wells, 940 Buffalo Valley Road, stated that several of his concerns have already been addressed. Mr. Wells stated that the proposed rezoning will allow for 4-times higher density for what is adjoining the property currently. He is worried about the uptick in traffic in the area. Dianna Collins, previous owner of the proposed rezoned property stated that she believes she was going to rezone to RS-5 instead of RM-8. She believes that Buffalo Valley Road is too busy and that since her request to rezone the property was denied, this request should be denied as well. Jon Ward took the floor to address the comments made by the residents. Mr. Ward stated that sidewalks are required along constructed streets. He stated that speeding is everywhere in the city and that he has contacted the police department and received the accident data for the area of the proposed development and there has been no significant accidents. Mr. Ward stated that RS-5 provides more flexibility for the layout of the development and that Mr. Bernhardt is only allowed to put 47 units, which is half of what is allowed by the RS-5 zoning district, per the sewer capacity. Mr. Ward stated that Ms. Collins request to rezone the property in question in September 2020, was to rezone from RS-10 to RM-8 which is an even higher density zoning district than the proposed RS- 5. Her request to rezone to RM-8 would allow for up to 88 units. The lower density RS-5 is acceptable in the single-family areas. Mr. Ward addressed the comments about noise issues by stated that the development is for single- family detached homes and that these developments mostly attract families and retirees. He stated that single family homes are needed in the city limits. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 6 MAY 24TH, 2021 Leslie Sullins asked if Ms. Collins request was to rezone to RS-5. Mr. Ward stated that Ms. Collins had requested her property be rezoned to RM-8 in order to be allowed to build townhomes and higher density homes. Mr. Ward stated that the Planning Department tried to point her to apply for a Planned Residential Development (PRD), but no plan was put together. Leslie Sullins asked Mr. Bernhardt, if he purchased the property while it was zoned RS-10, what was his plan. Mr. Bernhardt stated that once he purchased the property, he drew up what could work and looked into the RS-5 zoning district. Leslie Sullins asked Mr. Bernhardt if he knew that the property was zoned RS-10 when he purchased it. Mr. Bernhardt responded, yes. Jim Cobb asked if the plat will come back to the Planning Commission if the number of dwellings change. Mr. Ward stated that this request is specifically for the rezoning of the property, not the plat. Mr. Cobb stated that if what is presented is lower, it might be better for rezoning purposes. Mr. Bernhardt stated that proposals are just estimated. Jim Woodford stated that the current acreage allows for 44 units and if the property is rezoned to RS- 5 and something happened to Mr. Bernhardt, that someone could buy it and put 88 units on the property. He stated that with the generational change, people now don't want a large lot. He believes that younger homeowners want a HOA that maintains their properties. Woodford stated that he lives on 10th Street and didn’t realize much of a change when a HOA was put in near him He stated that he, along with the Planning Commission, wants to protect city and local properties around the proposed rezoning area and wants to have respect for those living there. Mr. Ward stated that the Department of Water Quality only issued approval for 47 houses so maximum of 88 units will not be allowed per water quality, regardless of higher density zoning districts. Leslie Sullins asked if a vehicle can be put in place to assure that no more units will be added if Mr. Bernhardt were to sell the property before it was developed. Mr. Ward stated that contract rezoning is not allowed. Mr. Cobb stated that capacity assurance is the key here. Mr. Bernhardt stated that with the rights-of-way on each lot, the development would have to be fewer lots than the allowed 47 per Water Quality. Leslie Sullins asked if the development could have fewer than 40 lots as opposed to the maximum of 47. Mr. Bernhardt stated that he ran the development through the modeling software and the sewer line will reduce the allowable amount of units. Mr. Cobb stated that according to the Future Land Use Plan, this area calls for lower density housing. Mr. Ward stated that this area is interpreted as a single-family lower residential area. Mr. Cobb asked how this property is not spot zoned. Mr. Ward stated that the property is over 10 acres. Anything over five (5) acres is not spot zoning. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 7 MAY 24TH, 2021 Mr. Wells stated that there are open fields around the proposed rezoning and this could start the trend of being rezoned to higher density. He and his family do not want to be surrounded by high density developments. Eric Walker stated that it’s important to think about how Cookeville is growing and how there will have to be creative ways to build density in low-density areas in order for the city to grow. He stated that the development will be approximately 300 feet from new entrance to Cane Creek Park. Mr. Walker stated that Buffalo Valley Road is a major road and will require enhancements in the near future. He stated that the quality of houses is beneficial to everyone in the neighborhood because it can bring up property value. Mr. Cobb stated that the proposed plat shows a range of square footage for each home in the development. He stated that he minimal required square footage is 5,000 square feet and there are only a few with that area. Mr. Ward stated that the average square footage is 7,000 per unit. Mr. Cobb asked how many RS-5 developments to we have in town. Mr. Ward stated that the city only has a few RS-5 zoned areas. Shawn Hall, 941 Buffalo Valley Road, stated that the neighborhood is country neighborhood, and that Cookeville is growing but doesn't think that this is the area for development. The high traffic on Buffalo Valley is concerning. She stated that the discussion is informative, but the way he's going about it, and asked why the zoning can’t stay RS-10. Mr. Bernhardt stated that RS-5 gives availability to adjust lots sizes and RS-10 might not get the high quality needed to gain value for the cost of the property. Sue Smith, 2088 Buffalo Valley Road, stated that the traffic count on Buffalo Valley to Hughes Drive is high and Stevens Street needs sidewalks. Mr. Reab stated that the rezoning isn't preliminary approval of plan, and we should step back and look at allowable the units in RS-5. Mrs. Reab stated that the property was rezoned in 2018 from RS-20 to RS-10. Leslie Sullins stated that regardless of how the Planning Commission votes, all want to keep neighborhood how it’s always been. Everyone in the city has to deal with traffic and so many people are wanting to move here so we have to address higher density developments. She stated that the apartments all over town are full. Mr. Cobb stated that the infrastructure for the development will need to be updated to reach the capacity of the system. Mr. Ward stated that the developer can update the infrastructure. Any increase in density will require the Department of Water Quality to add input since the Department of Water Quality only approved this site for 47 units. Mr. Walker stated that regardless of how the proposed rezoning is voted on, most concerns are about traffic. After leaving this meeting, regardless of how this goes, Mr. Walker encouraged residents to reach out to other parties of government for other concerns such as traffic and speed enforcement. Jim Woodford made the motion to approve the request recommended by staff. Eric Walker seconded the motion.
