Neighbors told the commission they believe graves dating to the late 1800s exist on the property, and one speaker said she had an aerial photograph from 1969 and observed cemetery vines and an old fenced area. Peggy Delaney, who said her father owns adjoining property, told the commission: “We believe that there is a cemetery that was a person buried back in the late 18 hundreds on that property.” She asked that the commission require the landowner to locate and protect the site or relocate remains appropriately.

Nicholas Northcutt, the surveyor representing the applicant, told the commission the lots meet size requirements and said the developer could reserve an area on the lots if a cemetery is confirmed. He also described engineering steps taken to address a sight‑distance issue by shifting the road entrance to meet the Tennessee sight‑distance requirement for a 55 mph roadway.

During discussion the commission and staff said the preliminary decision can include conditions to ensure issues are resolved before final approval. Commissioner Randy Harrell moved to approve the preliminary plat with the stipulation that the cemetery be located and documented and that an ingress/egress easement and reserved area be drawn on the final plat; the motion passed. Staff and the applicant said an archaeological or cemetery survey could be required and the plat adjusted if remains or site boundaries are found.

Speakers also raised stormwater/runoff and elevation concerns; the applicant said detention and drainage easements will be included in construction and final plans and that those technical requirements will be reviewed by engineers and state reviewers as part of the final‑plan process. The commission’s action was for preliminary approval only; final approval will require submission of construction plans and resolution of the cemetery documentation condition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","3/25/25 Planning Commission","oneSentenceSummary","The planning commission conditionally approved a preliminary subdivision on Old Airport Road but required the developer to locate and document a suspected historic cemetery and show any reserved area and access easement on the final plat before the commission will grant final approval.","taxTitle","Coffee County, Tennessee","taxId",70973,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6107116,"Planning commission backs rezoning of I‑24 industrial “mega site” to M‑1; county commission review still required",717,695000,1412000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2778983-c6632fd64aabe0956b1fa7768f4ea5b5&start=695&end=1412","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2778983-c6632fd64aabe0956b1fa7768f4ea5b5/thumbnail_695000.jpg","/articles/6107116/Coffee-County/Tennessee/Planning-commission-backs-rezoning-of-I24-industrial-mega-site-to-M1-county-commission-review-still-required","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107116-4e44c8945dae10c4e23dc70b389de16b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773488582&Signature=O6yNs07w8SgkcREdtdmtuJdqR0i3or26u~hnMr4U-DMQJYRKcV26LA7fjL~B4AwDVuVJnmwsvRy3SzmK6VqPA0bWWwQWtE9NoOp3NftElwjaiolSByYfgudz0nUFOqkwaBQH1UyB-lS2Tz3-8yHRd05SwAu6mRrCDkpMwj1UtsEbtUUWKXKLfB5NYZpMxmnkaRdg4waiNljy8TnsNHVQYP3fzw7YGPUaZjv7RYvKrLmf4u7ehzso-33kdc0r2PLJ0d8r2pGRLPA-relFmDIdkqGf~hYy18TvQKsbnTHMiT5yTMSRKi6MGfv4uLPaqiaw6~f0aRdvhtoZJOXhDGFoXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Coffee County Planning Commission voted to rezone the I‑24 industrial development site (formerly called the “mega site”) from A‑1 to M‑1 during its meeting, a change proponents said will remove an extra step for future tenants now that the state of Tennessee has purchased the property.

The rezoning request covered four parcels the presenters said will be blended into a single development site. The planning commission passed a motion to change the site’s zoning classification; the decision still must be approved by the full county commission.

The county mayor, who chaired the meeting, introduced the request and explained that the change would ensure the property is properly zoned when a tenant approaches the state and a new parcel line is created. Annie Jose Majors, identified in the meeting as the Industrial Board executive director, told the commission the state is marketing the site primarily to the aerospace and defense sector and that the property “looks like it will be somewhere between 3 and 6 parcels.” She added the rezoning “cuts down some of those processes” when locating businesses to the site and “makes the site more attractive.”

Speakers from the public asked clarifying questions about the rezoning process and notification procedures; an architect who lives locally asked how rezoning requests are initiated and noted that property owners and adjacent-owners receive mailed notice as part of the county’s process. Several members of the audience urged the commission to allow time for stakeholders and developers to study the change and find compromise language, arguing that sudden changes can affect projects already underway.

Commissioners voted to approve the change on the commission level. The chair noted that the commission was operating with a quorum of four members present and that one new commissioner, Laura Vasquez, who the mayor said met a Tennessee Code Annotated requirement for minority representation, was asked to abstain from voting on tonight’s items because she had not yet completed the body’s training.

The planning commission’s approval moves the request to the full county commission for final review and vote. No final county‑commission action was recorded during the meeting.","The Coffee County Planning Commission voted to rezone the I‑24 industrial development site (formerly the \"mega site\") from A‑1 to M‑1 to streamline tenant placement after the state bought the property; final approval still lies with the full county commission.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6107104,"Planning commission votes to move regular meeting time to 4:00 p.m.",37,4775000,4812000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2778983-c6632fd64aabe0956b1fa7768f4ea5b5&start=4775&end=4812","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2778983-c6632fd64aabe0956b1fa7768f4ea5b5/thumbnail_4775000.jpg","/articles/6107104/Coffee-County/Tennessee/Planning-commission-votes-to-move-regular-meeting-time-to-400-pm","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107104-ef2d2774dc156c3391c0e07736612587/orig.mp4?Expires=1773488582&Signature=ULPet~ANiqkqWrdIwhK7~br-ASe2FFNHsqaed9yz7vYHXZ6LckHMuFtYJrjfNrSrDOFp334wnRiPvaBAurB6YgI077cDfpO9z9abPMZlQmdP5Wh6j65y4zaSLYESZNqsFJ5ly71HyS8IBGQpqs3BlSfvyVhnptLUw4SIw-Dj9UTa0uIQ8W42oBzQcklsQst~EEcHNeWJhvAWF0rATYwa7KbMYZkZFGXde1bzBdqP8tZAqhYmLxHlUs39NiBZ-41l4PYafp~VfYSJyi9UzxpxGUpcn7FwbE5Zc1Y~4H5nihSun-m6F-keUuAc65GKRos9gQ9ifyTIEdiWFzW5lmX7Bg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Coffee County Planning Commission voted to change its regular meeting start time to 4:00 p.m. during the meeting’s final business.

Scott (identified in the meeting as representing the applicant team) explained the project steps: phases 1–3 were reviewed under Manchester’s urban growth boundary procedures; the new phases (4 and later) lie outside the UGB in a planned growth area. He said the plan places a loop road behind existing detention facilities to meet the county’s dead‑end‑street distance criteria and that water, fire protection lines and detention features had been designed to applicable standards. “We will connect… the loop road,” he said while describing the 6‑inch and 8‑inch water lines and fire‑flow calculations, and added the detention basin lies near the 2,500‑foot point used in the access calculation.

Several nearby landowners urged more time or a different connectivity design. One commenter, who identified himself as a longstanding neighbor, said the proposal “seems to present a contradiction” in how the regulations are applied and warned that adding lots would increase risk by concentrating vehicles on a single egress point. Commissioners and staff showed on‑screen footage of measured distances along the roadway and said the plan stays within the county’s measurement and loop‑street approach; the applicant also said surface and culvert drainage will be folded into construction plans and meet state and county review standards.

The planning commission approved the conceptual and preliminary plans after a motion and second. Several speakers reiterated quality‑of‑life concerns about traffic and off‑road uses on unused stub streets; applicants and staff said construction plans and engineering review remain required steps and could add or alter drainage and connectivity details before final platting.","The commission approved major conceptual and preliminary plans for Country Landing (phases beyond those handled inside Manchester’s urban growth boundary).
