Commission approves revised Little Creek Farm subdivision plan in Franklin

The Williamson County Planning Commission meeting on March 20, 2025, focused on significant developments in local infrastructure and residential planning. Key discussions included the approval of a revised concept plan for the Little Creek Farm subdivision and the requirements set by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) for access roads.

During the meeting, Richard Howes from SEC presented the staff report, which highlighted the need for access points to the subdivision from both the north and south, as mandated by TDOT. The commission reviewed a map to clarify these access points, ensuring all members understood the proposed layout.

The main topic of the meeting was the Little Creek Farm subdivision, which encompasses 57.08 acres and will feature 18 lots. This plan is a revision of a previously approved layout from August 2022. The revision involves changing a through street into a cul-de-sac and making minor adjustments to lot lines and septic areas. Importantly, the number of lots remains unchanged. The staff recommended approval of the revised plan under the same conditions as the original approval.

Cassie McGee from T Square Engineering represented the developers and confirmed that they were available for any questions. The commission inquired about the creek crossings planned for the subdivision. McGee explained that one crossing would utilize an open span box culvert to maintain the natural flow of the stream, while the other would consist of a series of pipe culverts for drainage.

After addressing all questions, the commission moved to approve the revised concept plan, signaling a step forward in the development of the Little Creek Farm subdivision. The roadway improvements associated with Wilson Pike are nearing completion, which will further enhance access to the area.

Overall, the meeting underscored the ongoing efforts to balance development with infrastructure needs in Williamson County, paving the way for future residential growth.
