Smith told the board the proposal calls for a 14‑by‑40 accessory building to be placed near the driveway and used for meetings, water analysis and limited retail; she said most work would be field service. The applicant said some common pool chemicals would be stored at the site but that high‑concentration products (for example, concentrated liquid chlorine) would not be kept in the building and that some deliveries would be picked up rather than delivered.

Neighbors speaking at the meeting expressed opposition. A neighbor who identified herself as a property owner next to the proposed site said the area had been a common area for several lots and that she opposed commercial activity. Chris Franklin said allowing the business would open the door to other commercial uses and raised concerns about semi‑truck deliveries. Another resident said additional traffic is not wanted in the area.

Board members and staff raised multiple safety and infrastructure questions: fire‑safety requirements for a wooden accessory building storing chemicals, ventilation and CFM (cubic‑feet‑per‑minute) requirements for chemical storage, whether a restroom or septic upgrade would be required if customers use the building, and whether an eyewash or hand‑washing station should be provided. A codes official also noted that sewer is not available on Dalton Hollow and asked the applicant to clarify disposal methods for any liquids.

After discussion, a board member (Eric) moved and Freddie Banks seconded a motion to table the item until the May meeting and to request additional information from the applicant on the precise chemicals and amounts to be stored, plumbing and septic needs, ventilation requirements, and safety equipment (for example, eyewash). The motion to table passed. The board set the follow‑up meeting date as May 12.

The transcript records the motion to table and the scheduling instruction; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.","A proposed pool‑supply major home occupation on Dalton Hollow Road was tabled after neighbors raised traffic and safety concerns and board members asked for more details on chemicals, plumbing, ventilation and septic requirements.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6612642,"Board approves major home occupation and larger sign for Highway 141 applicant",1165,715700,1881680,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2889945-f5732da805516ff27b4ec78ad92b3c88&start=715&end=1881","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2889945-f5732da805516ff27b4ec78ad92b3c88/thumbnail_715700.jpg","/articles/6612642/Tennessee/Board-approves-major-home-occupation-and-larger-sign-for-Highway-141-applicant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6612642-c65b7dac8bfeaddb46d4a44a354abb2a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154180&Signature=TgdfVk5IWq3ePT~he4zH~ZkzJnSAwLhLVJbvIbVNsmah0uebDIhPuFUiKHHG4YOQww6mLnVLqv~WpD4~ua2MzwXwbawIK8-4RU~tVfEYFplFkrcGbxfxmRx5-YthfC8wCRNc8pr-HS4md~gLqiWqjc7X2-CprmIVQ3p7ZW1Z8~31U-U9j3wzcp5hZE52yn54GwUq-Z-J-R~DuV0V35Sk7CHne9RYyESYoDDti0Vgjun0JKTErjwsOo5wnrHPJhDRjTB8tHBwJB~k~4OSxdEJ9NmN8POfQZHuxywWQEcJvadBiS4zX4K2lyT8ADYj5~td~IKdBV5DFZm~89TarWjtaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a major home‑occupation permit for Cody Harris and granted a conditional variance for an 18‑square‑foot sign at his Highway 141 North property.

Harris said his wife, Taylor, is a cosmetologist who operated a salon in Louisiana and plans to run a small beauty salon from an accessory structure placed toward the front of their lot, adjacent to Highway 141 North. Harris described a 12‑by‑32 shed to be outfitted with electricity, plumbing and septic, positioned about 60 feet from the roadway; he said planned hours would be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and he expects no more than four vehicles at any one time.

Staff provided a copy of the Trousdale County ordinance language on major home occupations and told the board a major home occupation approval is valid for three years, after which the operator must return to show compliance. The packet also noted the city sign code limits freestanding home‑occupation signs to 4 square feet; Harris asked for a 3‑by‑6 sign (18 square feet) to advertise walk‑ins.

The board voted to approve the major home occupation with the condition that the operation stay within the normal hours of operation set out in the code. The transcript records a motion to approve (mover: Freddie Banks; second: not specified) and the motion carried.

Separately, the board granted the sign variance on the condition that the sign comply with the code’s setback and lighting requirements so it does not obstruct motorists’ sight lines. Cicely made the motion to approve the 3×6 sign variance with the requirement that code setback rules be followed; Ron Moreland seconded and the motion carried.

The transcript does not include a roll‑call vote tally. The approvals are subject to standard building and sign permitting and any code conditions cited in the meeting packet.","The board approved a major home‑occupation application for Cody Harris and granted a variance for an 18‑square‑foot sign (3×6 feet) with conditions on placement and operating hours.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_46":105,"_48":106,"_50":107,"_52":108,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":109,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":110,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6612647,"Board approves variance to allow home on undersized Planters Street lot",567,181350,749290,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2889945-f5732da805516ff27b4ec78ad92b3c88&start=181&end=749","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2889945-f5732da805516ff27b4ec78ad92b3c88/thumbnail_181350.jpg","/articles/6612647/Tennessee/Board-approves-variance-to-allow-home-on-undersized-Planters-Street-lot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6612647-2b533a6df488a3f6e9939d6e90647470/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154180&Signature=hacAVDdnzcv6fIWx-MxeY7r8e5lec6FQ4qwgdps5tnUnsY8Pt~gTr34M3fjsJSuIJvZQsujs~b-zQXKbkf6aQhfgSUTZjehFdZl30usA733v0P3C46x9p5WIuRt~yR1wi8GPfQGi8vSq6lAWbHhT2n3R~25KtjHmJieiLDg7rfuXalsMz4J2KggtiLNZS8qCyvMKKZzAqEatZPt5dAAVSxpnNx9uSqoYr66HEQR75QAHD~~1g5J6ZrsriGRQKUODZLD6EP3oslSi37I~p7jfXFDWLUPEitcwAYLwu1sCMwcnjTphzYcRIimR0CDiDS6UfQiRwa3ETp5qnePpd~KM1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Appeals voted to approve a property variance that will allow construction of a single‑family house on a substandard lot on Planters Street.

Applicant Kenneth Salas told the board he has a contract to buy the empty lot and is requesting relief from the R‑1 minimum lot size and from front and rear setback requirements so a roughly 1,300‑square‑foot house can be built.

The lot is a recorded lot of record created on May 5, 1980, and is zoned R‑1 (single‑family residence), Rosalie Myhand, codes official, told the board. She said the Hartsville zoning ordinance (adopted 1999) lists lots of record as a special case that can be considered buildable by the board even if they do not meet current area requirements. Under the ordinance cited in the packet, a standard R‑1 lot requires 12,000 square feet; this lot is about 6,600 square feet.

Salas described the proposed house and placement on the lot and said the structure would be for sale, not rental. He asked the board to approve 15‑foot front and 15‑foot rear setbacks so the 28‑foot‑deep house plus a 4‑foot front stoop can be sited with room for a driveway and side parking.

Board member Mark Presley made the motion to approve the variance for lot size and the 15‑foot front and rear setbacks; Freddie Banks seconded. The chair called for a vote and the motion carried.

The board did not record a roll call tally in the transcript. The approval was limited to the variances described in the application and documented in the meeting packet.","The Board of Zoning Appeals voted to grant a variance allowing a buildable lot of record on Planters Street to deviate from R‑1 minimum lot size and front/rear setback requirements.","actionData","errors"]
