Commission OKs private pickleball facility with conditions after community support

Aug 21, 2026

The Coffee County commission approved a conditional‑use permit for a private pickleball facility proposed by Felicia Daniels on Blanche Chapel Road, limiting the approval to recreational use and requiring follow‑up permitting and conditions to address noise, parking and future non‑recreational uses.

The full story

Felicia Daniels, a fourth‑generation owner who said she wants to keep most of the family’s 18.9‑acre property in the Green Belt, asked the commission to allow a private pickleball facility on a small portion of her land. “This property means much more to me than simply being a piece of land,” Daniels told the commission, adding that she expects the facility’s footprint could be built within about 3 acres and that the structure would be designed to blend in like “a barn.”
