Cobblestone Subdivision – Final Plat Community Planner Will Radford then reviewed both final plats. Speaking on the Cobblestone Village subdivision plat, Radford noted the plat was part of a larger preliminary plat, which was approved in September 2019.  “The property is zoned R-2 (Medium Density Residential) and has 14 lots. The lots meet the area requirements for R-2, 7,500 sq. ft., and construction plans have been approved,” stated Radford. He added the City of Dyersburg has acquired a bond to complete infrastructure improvements, if necessary, and the Dyersburg Fire Department has approved the layout of the roadways within the subdivision plans. Radford said staff recommended the approval of the plat. A motion to approve the subdivision plat for Cobblestone Village was made by Brian Ramm and seconded by James Baltimore. The motion passed via roll call vote. C. The Shoppes at Cobblestone – Final Plat Radford also reviewed the final plat for The Shoppes at Cobblestone. “A previous version of this plat was approved with 3 lots. It’s near the same location – basically the same parent tract as the subdivision. This is 6 lots,” Radford explained. “This area is zoned B-2 (General Trade and Services) and is showing all of the necessary certificates for approval. A bond has been acquired for the right-of-way, Cobblestone Crossing, coming into the development.” Radford said staff recommended approval of the plat. A motion to approve the final plat was made by James Baltimore and seconded by Tony Dement. The motion passed via roll call vote.
