What the plan includes

- Staff described a mix of uses: retail shops with parking, a proposed 300-unit apartment complex, a medical office adjacent to the hospital, senior-living housing, townhomes, single-family homes and a sign package. The MU portion would allow higher density (staff noted MU up to about 14.52 units per acre) and the MU area was discussed at roughly 12–13 units per acre in current concept drawings.

Key issues raised

- Access: Staff and commissioners pressed the applicant to coordinate an alignment with Provine Boulevard and to negotiate with the adjacent hospital about making a private drive public so it can function as a full public access opposite McCain Station. The applicant said it is in conversation with hospital real estate and expects a response from the hospital's corporate real estate department in 30–60 days.

- Lower Station Camp connection: The plan currently shows only an emergency access to Lower Station Camp Creek because of floodplain constraints; staff said they prefer a full public connection for long-term connectivity and asked the applicant to continue conversations with the county.

- Floodplain and TVA easement: Staff noted a large floodplain area and an existing TVA easement cutting across the property and described open space (including pickleball courts) and a proposed greenway connection toward Station Camp schools.

Applicant response

- Kelly Hyatt of Maris (developer) said Maris is negotiating with the hospital and the team will continue work on the Lower Station Camp connection discussions with Sumner County; Maris plans elevated finishes for multifamily near Big Station Camp and said the senior-living product could be age-restricted multifamily or a step-down product depending on market needs.

Next steps

Staff and the applicant indicated they will continue design coordination on access, floodplain treatment and stormwater design and that the applicant will return with details at later submittals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Gallatin 2025-05-06","oneSentenceSummary","A developer presented a preliminary master development plan for the Station Camp annexation site that proposes PGC frontage on Big Station Camp, interior MU mixed-use development and R10 PRD at the rear, including retail, a roughly 300-unit apartment complex, medical office, senior housing and single-family housing.","taxTitle","Gallatin City , Sumner County, Tennessee","taxId",52803,"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},6567086,"City staff to seek site-surety funds for inactive Connect 25 site after bank declines renewal; developer says re-start plan underway",183,9600000,9783000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3195371-7aa082de80a1e23953581550dcbf344a&start=9600&end=9783","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3195371-7aa082de80a1e23953581550dcbf344a/thumbnail_9600000.jpg","/articles/6567086/Gallatin-City/Sumner-County/Tennessee/City-staff-to-seek-site-surety-funds-for-inactive-Connect-25-site-after-bank-declines-renewal-developer-says-re-start-plan-underway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567086-a1b66787eea90bb286a41734d2daf499/orig.mp4?Expires=1770596045&Signature=RrAcq6GP5axW8SdYy5FO1WGYzFRKrcW2-coIPTn-1Gc-bu34dVUvTy04MGNZcfJ7s90sXh7fOZLCdE4y~lHAy4MwNhsdyv1h-iRF6i0QXKw8DA8rPEBcHB0DPlCupNUuihlz5AK4BPtVqCcjLw~GV~2oReLhYczEUwYTwVMYIg-aiqGSn~PT4VHrSCpOfiFnim1f0dL3BIaSkNELCL~hb5Kcd-D8V620AgetdaY5-yDuZAhqpQTCDUPtZ-QGyA4xKrQKtwf3D3SsnPn1OGgd5rxJ6iTWex28B2iU6~BzAXfRSUnzWlBXMzF3~b7hxWEPfGrYFVlJ8C~l72RfWzbCMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City engineering staff asked the planning commission at the work session to authorize a demand on the site-surety (letter of credit) for the Connect 25 site (property behind Savannah Marketplace) because the project is inactive, the land-disturbance permit has lapsed, the site is not stabilized and the issuing bank has notified the city it will not renew the surety after it expires on June 5.

Why it matters: An inactive disturbed site can pose erosion and drainage risks to neighboring properties. The city\u0000may call the letter of credit to pay contractors to stabilize the site if the permittee does not act.

What happened and what the developer said

- Engineering staff said the project has been inactive and that, per the bank's letter, the bank will not renew the surety. Staff said the city's standard practice is to advertise and contract for stabilization work and draw on the surety if the owner does not correct the violations.

- Gary Hill, president of Calamar Construction North America (developer), told the commission the project suffered a sequence of setbacks: a requested plan change to accommodate an adjacent owner, a large rain event that required a costly additional stormwater bypass, and the withdrawal of a principal equity partner last fall. Hill said Calamar is negotiating a new financing plan and expects to present contracts and a stabilization/restart plan to staff near the next meeting.

Process and timeline

- Staff said a call of the letter of credit would be sent to the bank by certified mail along with a resolution; funds collected would be deposited in the city's surety account, and staff would advertise to contract removal or stabilization work. If funds remain after completion, the balance would be returned to the permittee.

- The commission and developer discussed whether calling the surety would stop the project's momentum; staff said a new site surety would be required for future building permits.

Next steps

Engineering staff requested authority to proceed with the demand process if the bank refuses renewal; the developer said he expected to present a detailed plan and contracts to staff before the next meeting.","City engineering staff told the Municipal Planning Commission they will seek to call a site-surety letter of credit for the Connect 25 parcel behind Savannah Marketplace because the bank that issued the surety will not renew it and the land-disturbance permit has lapsed.",{"_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},6567106,"Residents press planning commission over expanded Foxland Harbor marina plan; applicant asks for clarifications",6574,270000,6844000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3195371-7aa082de80a1e23953581550dcbf344a&start=270&end=6844","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3195371-7aa082de80a1e23953581550dcbf344a/thumbnail_270000.jpg","/articles/6567106/Gallatin-City/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Residents-press-planning-commission-over-expanded-Foxland-Harbor-marina-plan-applicant-asks-for-clarifications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567106-3220635bf9b129832fb78f19fe454f9c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770596045&Signature=ZyqCPejdzt43X2AK6g1-70V-ZS9pEq19C5DrRCCwWuIxn4-tiOljUcuRkMcBEloMEv-3FjqeYaA5aNUMoTtV~UBhtMrsZlN55-JPNeW3dX1rvasULSaYAGsZMeCOUYfkeOHq3HhlsRLO0uLgJamoPgR6mpgDQBjXkKK8wCOzDue56vs6cV62LSDF4zCczNf32YsFOcJORzLKX90XqDS9xKktm1U0OHqgMiS71JdAmNjmvuxv5iOs9DYIXyfGvyTsZy12512OuHS3Wq80jdo3TdEQCqzjn-5LGZRGG9MUJm9-UdeoSLs1Rk7MqlehIr59xj~vPstpPQ-YzQSk~BtqFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents of Foxland Harbor and neighboring Fairview and Douglas Bend told the Gallatin Municipal Planning Commission during a work session that an amended plan for the Fox and Harbor marina has grown far beyond what they were promised and would harm lake recreation, shoreline character and local traffic.

Deborah Macgard told the commission that the marina now being proposed is “very different” from the plan shown to homeowners in 2007. “The original plan was for a much smaller marina with fewer than 75 boat slips,” she said, and the present proposal includes “400 plus boat slips, a large dry dock, a restaurant, a store, and a fueling station.”

Why it matters: Public commentators said the change in scale and the addition of industrial-style dry storage will bring more boat traffic, shoreline maintenance costs, noise and security concerns for nearby homeowners. Planning staff reminded the commission that the city\u0000\u0000only regulates land-based improvements; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers controls work in the water.

What speakers said and what staff reported

- Deborah Macgard (resident) said the Corps-approved plan differs from the plan before the city and requested that the commission hold the developer to the smaller, originally advertised scope.

- Mike Schulte (resident, Foxland Harbor) said neighborhood petition counts exceeded 1,400 households and described multiple large public meetings in opposition to the project. “Our opposition numbers continue to grow,” he said, and called the current proposal “way overbuilt.”

- Joe Slavic and other residents raised boat-traffic safety, emergency-access and property-value concerns, and asked for traffic and shoreline-impact studies specific to Nashville Pike and Douglas Bend Road.

- Jim Carpenter, planning staff, told the commission the city\u0000has jurisdiction only over land-based elements of the project and that architectural compatibility and exceptions for materials and building height are among the items staff wants clarified in the amended preliminary master development plan.

- Matt Huff, representing the applicant, said the team has a permitting relationship with the Army Corps of Engineers for some shoreline and water-quality work and will respond to staff questions about architecture and the requested exceptions.

Substantive details and requests

- Residents asked the commission to require a traffic study for Nashville Pike and Douglas Bend Road and to deny boat-dry-dock storage because they view it as industrial in character.

- Residents repeatedly said the local launch and cove are recreational resources and that additional boat traffic would push boaters out into more hazardous channels.

- Planning staff asked the applicant to clarify the scope and degree of the requested zoning and architectural exceptions and flagged the dry storage building in particular for more detailed architectural review.

Next steps

The applicant and staff agreed they would return with more detailed responses and revised materials. Planning staff said the item will come back to the commission for further review; the applicant said it will provide additional architecture and stormwater details in its next submittal.","Residents of Foxland Harbor and neighboring communities told the Gallatin Municipal Planning Commission on Oct. 26 they oppose an amended marina plan that residents say has grown from an originally advertised 50–75 boat-slip marina to a proposal with more than 400 slips, a dry dock, restaurant and fueling facilities.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6567096,"Developer seeks rezoning for Wedgwood townhomes; neighbors press commission on density and neighborhood connections",409,4596000,5005000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3195371-7aa082de80a1e23953581550dcbf344a&start=4596&end=5005","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3195371-7aa082de80a1e23953581550dcbf344a/thumbnail_4596000.jpg","/articles/6567096/Gallatin-City/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Developer-seeks-rezoning-for-Wedgwood-townhomes-neighbors-press-commission-on-density-and-neighborhood-connections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567096-4ce3e076d0dec4d1758167c20ee22c37/orig.mp4?Expires=1770596045&Signature=N8EbmZ684gMPOHPouiYokgT2~WG3Yg0Uzyjw3wK0xR8Oj~TOJ5VX76SMGyD-2HEjKMlI75VWF6ogPyaJ~l8n7kaTDzlO4NYnC9HWNF7Nmi5kKG59GOlMAJPR58QHUq7NyniIoxmf7BHJkC1IjB3iRtPeR0Mi~kqUXnea4d-m4D-3yeYUPFFMBjvlww~fns1QJsQO5os~P3Bh5oVtKzLco26HMtojLS4jFTpU5Vz4hzfRJ-5JWVCQnchKitFh6FkCbNnXrOVooczVvk7VvWrTO1Z-Im~wftodZoUajmOOnSzaUHC~wtvHR1zye27I18X3UwTE8BPaYCicITv0dZy~xg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The applicant for the Wedgwood (Wedgwood/Wedgewood) townhomes asked the planning commission to rezone roughly 10.18 acres from R15 to MU to allow 78 alley-loaded townhomes and a single commercial lot. Neighbors and several commissioners pressed for details about buffering, access and compatibility with the surrounding single-family neighborhoods.

Why it matters: The proposed product increases lot and frontage density adjacent to established single-family areas and will add daily vehicle trips on a small local street system already used as a cut-through when state routes back up.

Presentation and public comments

- Jillian (staff planner) summarized the request and identified relief sought by the applicant from the city's 70% brick/stone requirement for townhome facades.

- Cal Gentry of Civil Land Company, speaking for the applicant, said the product is rear-loaded with alleys and will include on-street parallel parking and that the design intentionally narrows Wedgwood to calm traffic.

- Multiple residents including Priscilla Claro Spring and other neighbors said the product does not fit the existing pattern of 10,000+ sq. ft. lots and that lots of 3,000 sq. ft. were out of character: “15,000 square foot lots down to 3,000 square foot lots. It's just it's crazy,” one resident said.

Connectivity and engineering discussion

- Engineering and some commissioners asked for connections to adjacent stub streets (Bernhardt and Paisley) to improve network connectivity; the applicant asked not to require Paisley and to reconsider Bernhardt because they feared the new street would create additional cut-throughs that would pass through small, quiet single-family streets.

- The fire department and engineering staff said alleys will be 20 feet wide for emergency access and that the plan provides a 20-foot separation to buildings and retains an existing tree line buffer along the southern edge.

- Commissioners discussed whether Bernhardt should be connected (engineering preferred Bernhardt; staff said Paisley could be dropped but Bernhardt is more important). The applicant said the project team will continue to coordinate with staff and that many comments are manageable.

Next steps

Staff will return with the item for formal action after the applicant addresses comments, including the brick/stone exception and the question of required connections.","Applicant asked to rezone about 10.18 acres from R15 to MU for 78 rear-loaded townhomes and one small commercial lot.

Why it matters: Multiple public speakers said the intersection already experiences frequent accidents and congestion where commuters enter and exit nearby subdivisions, and that a high-turnover fast-food business with drive-through lanes would worsen traffic flow and safety for pedestrians and emergency responders.

What residents said

- Jordan Wade, a Twin Eagles resident, listed environmental and community concerns and said, “There are at least 3 McDonald's within 5 miles of the proposed location,” arguing the site is not needed and would increase congestion and roadside litter.

- Several residents, including Amanda Jones, Amy Bulkley, Darren Christiansen and Carolyn Allen, described repeated crashes when leaving Twin Eagles and asked for an independent traffic study before any rezoning.

Staff and applicant comments

- Staff said the proposal requests rezoning of 2.35 acres to MU and recommended site-level mitigations in their initial review: extend a median to create a right-in/right-out, add an opaque fence to buffer light and sound at the ordering area, preserve the southern tree line as a buffer and revise architectural details to match nearby McDonald's across from Windsong.

- Seth Carter, civil engineering consultant for the applicant, said the current plan shows two driveway entrances off Putter Point Drive, with the northern access intended as a right-in/right-out and the southern entrance providing the primary access. He said the applicant will conduct a traffic-impact study and is in communication with TDOT; he said there are currently no planned highway widening projects tied to this submittal.

Commission discussion

- Commissioners and engineering staff raised concerns about the proximity of the intersection to existing signals and whether a future signal would be feasible; they noted that a detailed traffic study is typically performed at the final master development plan (FMDP) stage.

- Several commissioners said the corner is likely to be used for some commercial purpose, but cautioned that the specific McDonald's proposal could exacerbate an existing safety problem unless TDOT or other improvements were made.

Next steps

Staff and the applicant said they would return with a traffic impact study and revised plans. Commissioners highlighted that traffic findings will be central to any future recommendation to council.","Dozens of Twin Eagles and nearby residents opposed rezoning 2.35 acres at State Route 25 and Highway 109 to allow a McDonald's, citing longstanding congestion at the intersection, frequent accidents and worries about increased driveway and drive-through traffic.","actionData","errors"]
