Commissioner Robert Qualls was elected chairman, Commissioner Todd Berry was elected vice chairman, and the sitting county planning director was nominated as the commission’s secretary pending county-commission approval.

The process: outgoing Chairman Jeff Chase opened the floor to nominations. Commissioners nominated Robert Qualls for chairman; with no other nominees, the commission conducted a roll-call vote on the single nominee. The roll-call recorded affirmative votes for Qualls from the present commissioners; the chair announced Robert Qualls as the new chairman.

Commissioner Todd Berry was the sole nominee for vice chair and was elected by roll-call with an affirmative vote. For secretary, commissioners nominated the sitting planning director (referred to in the meeting as \"Dave\") so that the director could sign minutes and complete the county-required appointment process; the motion for the sitting director carried in roll-call with one commissioner recorded as voting no.

Why it matters: the election places Robert Qualls in the chair role immediately, which affects who presides and manages future meeting agendas and motions. The nomination of the sitting planning director as secretary is subject to county commission approval and ties administrative record-keeping to the planning office during the interim.

Roll-call results (as recorded in the meeting audio):

Chair (single nominee: Robert Qualls)
- Todd Berry — yes
- Tina Ferris — yes
- Todd Lindsey — yes
- Robert Qualls — yes
- Tommy Brown — yes
- Jeff Chase — yes
- Amanda Berry — yes
- Patrick Reagan — yes
- Mitchell Harden — yes

Vice chair (single nominee: Todd Berry)
- All recorded votes in roll call were affirmative for Todd Berry.

Secretary (nominee: sitting planning director)
- Todd Berry — yes
- Tina Ferris — no
- Todd Lindsey — yes
- Robert Qualls — yes
- Tommy Brown — yes
- Jeff Chase — yes
- Amanda Berry — yes
- Patrick Reagan — yes
- Mitchell Harden — yes

Next steps: the nomination of the sitting planning director as secretary must be approved by the county commission, per county appointment procedures. The newly elected officers will serve through the 2025 calendar year unless the commission votes otherwise.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dickson County Planning Commission 3-13-2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the March 13, 2025 meeting commissioners nominated and elected officers for 2025.

The approvals were taken during the commission’s regular meeting. Commission members voted by voice on each item and the chair declared each motion carried after an affirmative response. Amanda Berry, planning staff, reviewed the submittals and noted technical compliance in the staff reports. \"My review did not yield any corrective comments,\" Berry said about the Jones Creek final plat, and later said of the sketch plat, \"This sketch plan meets the requirements of 5-101.2.\" The commission recorded no roll-call tallies for the plats; each passed on a voice vote.

Why it matters: these approvals clear the way for new buildable lots and underscore ongoing residential subdivision activity in Dickson County. Conditions and technical items recorded during discussion—fire hydrant securities, soil mapping, floodplain siting, and driveway and mailbox arrangements—will affect design, permitting and utility coordination before construction.

Details of the three actions:

• Edward Wayne properties (Jones Creek Subdivision). Final plat creating six lots (one with an existing house, five new buildable lots) on about 10.97 acres along Jones Creek Road in an A-1 Agricultural district. The commission noted that a new fire hydrant and associated securities must be paid before the plat can be signed. Amanda Berry said her review found no corrective comments. The motion to approve was carried by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.

• Alluvium subdivision (sketch plat), 660 Piney Road, tax map 138 parcel 7 (approximately 62.18 acres). The sketch plat proposes roughly 20 lots, new cul-de-sac roads, and several lots that extend into the floodplain. The developer (Ron Brenner) and staff noted prior soil work and letters from the water authority and post office addressing water service and mailbox arrangements. Commissioners discussed whether to require a traffic study; one commissioner recommended a traffic study despite the proposal falling below the county threshold that triggers a mandatory study. Commissioners emphasized designing house footprints outside the floodplain where soils mapping allows. Amanda Berry told the commission the sketch met Section 5-101.2 requirements. The sketch plat was approved on a motion and voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.

• Danielson Hollow (preliminary plat), Furnace Hollow Road, tax map 109 parcel 6 (about 122.78 acres). The preliminary plat would create 15 lots, including two lots larger than 25 acres, and includes homeowners association (HOA) documents and a requirement to install three new fire hydrants. Amanda Berry reported no corrective comments in the review. Commissioners described the proposal as higher-quality development and approved the preliminary plat by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.

Commission discussion and technical clarifications: commissioners and staff discussed floodplain siting and soils mapping (TDEC soils mapping was referenced as part of the technical review), mail delivery (centralized vs. roadside boxes), septic service for areas without sewer, bridge capacity on local roads and whether additional drainage or riparian protections would be needed for lots bordering the Piney River. Staff noted that some lots were deliberately sized larger so house footprints could be located outside mapped flood areas to limit flood-insurance impacts.

Votes at a glance:
Edward Wayne Properties (Jones Creek Subdivision) — final plat: Approved (voice vote; securities for fire hydrant required before signing).
Alluvium Subdivision — sketch plat (660 Piney Road): Approved (voice vote; staff noted Section 5-101.2 compliance; commissioners discussed but did not mandate a traffic study).
Danielson Hollow — preliminary plat: Approved (voice vote; HOA documents included; three fire hydrants required).

What’s next: approvals allow applicants to proceed with conditions noted by staff (for example, payments for hydrant securities and required technical submittals such as soils mapping). Planning staff will follow up with applicants on those conditions and on any required permitting before final construction activity begins.","At its March 13, 2025 meeting the Dickson County Planning Commission approved a final plat, a sketch plat and a preliminary plat for three separate subdivisions; votes were taken by voice and conditions and technical reviews were noted.","actionData","errors"]
