Planning staff noted the project had been deferred at the April 28 meeting and that the applicant met with county staff and the county's third‑party traffic reviewer to widen entrances and accommodate truck turning movements. The commission's engineering reviewer said the design team moved the site footprint north, which pushed retaining walls away from neighboring property lines and reduced wall heights in some locations.

Mike (engineering/planning staff) said the applicant widened the drive entrances for both Kennepot Court and the new Butler Drive access and worked with the design team to address retaining‑wall impacts adjacent to the city's transfer station site. He said pipe material and jointing around walls were revised to watertight concrete pipe in key locations and noted the design team had committed to continuing coordination with the city for approvals on connections to city streets.

A representative for the applicant confirmed concrete pipe and reduced wall heights and explained the team will submit the revised plans to the city for its separate review. Commissioners moved to approve the site plan subject to staff comments and the motion passed by voice vote.

Staff said the project remains subject to final construction‑plan details, standard permitting and any additional city approvals for the portions of the site that abut Murfreesboro city property and rights‑of‑way.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission - May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved site‑plan final for a two‑phase, 367,572‑square‑foot transport warehouse project at Butler Drive after the developer revised entrances for truck turning movements and adjusted retaining‑wall locations; the site will require city review for connections and additional construction specifics.","taxTitle","Rutherford County, Tennessee","taxId",4625,"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},6225907,"Commission approves Northside Estates amendment but flags TVA tower and access constraints",475,2193000,2668000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3526410-d978db0565916639d3cf0cff1bc68b53&start=2193&end=2668","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3526410-d978db0565916639d3cf0cff1bc68b53/thumbnail_2193000.jpg","/articles/6225907/Rutherford-County/Tennessee/Commission-approves-Northside-Estates-amendment-but-flags-TVA-tower-and-access-constraints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6225907-ce80a90c0dec60047a5739a2c7addf92/orig.mp4?Expires=1770659336&Signature=a0VA-s6VR3jslgrfDx8jITDlMyjAE6rnMPtKmcnge31uwc3mxj1F1ymsZ8annQnPSy5oT1pJDFvVY6BP9ypCAyn~GqN6STKddrb6r9v8UROoWIiZGcSVK1VkbpIBdbLVuoQ5WOk8ymbmFGO9UozIiKwzTTRZG8xy4k7Mu3snn99UD~VNlyut1OzsgI9Mi50grnvRdhdKofpFumziigWmgIJYPsSvJLLc4W4gfFmPJp1lUHEKCI5Td82riUzqUoGanXOA-0S-w3mYdm-hL8xBZh1TxoqTHSr5CoULFi-AFDIq5MXBYQ33ZajeCooQAKb24zy7Ds1qb1PyG108d~lrVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission on May 27 approved a preliminary‑plan amendment for Northside Estates that adjusts lot layout and provides a stub street for a future connection to the adjacent Las Casas Estates subdivision, while staff identified a clearance requirement around a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) transmission tower that may affect one lot.

Doug DeMasi explained the amendment was requested after additional soils for the step sewage system were located on the tract; using those soils in one location would have eliminated the previously planned connection to Las Casas Estates. To maintain more than one access into the combined neighborhood, the applicant proposes extending Cypress Leaf Lane and adding a stub street intended to align with Water Street in Las Casas Estates.

Mike (county engineering/planning staff) cautioned that TVA maintains a 25‑foot no‑dig zone around the base of its transmission towers. \"TVA will not allow you to dig within 25 feet of the base of the tower,\" Mike said, noting that utilities and the roadway alignment must avoid the restricted zone. He said the design team may need to adjust the intersection geometry to maintain minimum lot sizes and allow for utilities without encroaching on TVA's clearance area.

Chris McGuire of Utterson Steel Engineering, representing the applicant, told the commission the team will tweak the street alignment and utility locations as needed and is willing to \"make any tweaks for geometric to make sure we avoid that tower.\" Commissioners moved to approve the amendment subject to staff comments; a voice vote carried and the commission granted preliminary‑plan amendment approval with the condition that construction plans demonstrate the stub street, utilities, and Lot 64 can be constructed while respecting TVA's 25‑foot restriction.

Staff added that the stub will preserve a future connection and emphasized that final plat approval will require details demonstrating the roadway and utility layout will meet county design regulations and TVA clearance requirements.","RHB LLC's Northside Estates preliminary plan amendment was approved with staff conditions after the commission accepted changes that preserve future connections to adjacent Las Casas Estates; staff asked the developer to demonstrate that a proposed stub street can be built 25 feet clear of a TVA transmission tower base.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":79,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6225912,"Rutherford County planning panel defers Kittrell Glen preliminary plan over traffic, drainage, safety questions",2019,174000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3526410-d978db0565916639d3cf0cff1bc68b53&start=174&end=2193","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3526410-d978db0565916639d3cf0cff1bc68b53/thumbnail_174000.jpg","/articles/6225912/Rutherford-County/Tennessee/Rutherford-County-planning-panel-defers-Kittrell-Glen-preliminary-plan-over-traffic-drainage-safety-questions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6225912-e97d1dd849605343437f0977dc538d93/orig.mp4?Expires=1770659336&Signature=OLAS9-sCw7EfYCqDIjiag8C4uo8leDeZgRzhAK0ffF~wdJKEG6o7-YU6xtlHH-uEDKS4uG6~YS01~0JHexytId9sePsxy5eVjO-OLkwa8c2232C-SegWYlanMnmJEdLAAjhKbVLssH7qRGRlt~O4GQsImqTcjObcf8ue-7rl-lo1W6pggly9qyfuDTN6omonR9KlPniLR5hT8TNMMNkqBOEb3fmEjxVGXgURZF~4SNxlKm3NF1zERle6eOf7HdfA3ZTjOCHZF3LQSPGXBx0tnI956XceMmzjmmpxhlm62UGppYOzcCJGUk8J5qDX3H-H-K1q8FSXNl14IC~bPbQtZA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission on May 27 deferred preliminary approval of Kittrell Glen, a proposed single-family subdivision on about 150.2 acres, after commissioners and staff said outstanding traffic, drainage and site-safety questions must be addressed before the project advances.

Planning staff said the project meets minimum lot-size standards for the property's RM zoning (15,000 square feet minimum) but highlighted unresolved issues including the need for a road safety audit at several intersections, a more detailed drainage plan showing easements rather than arrows, and potential springs or cave features near Lot 19 that require further investigation.

Doug DeMasi, planning staff, summarized the proposal and noted the developer intends to use a step system for sewage disposal and that the primary entrance would be on Baxter Road with a secondary connection at Upperglade Court. \"Most of our comments have been addressed,\" DeMasi said, but he turned the technical concerns to the county's engineering review.

County engineering staff (identified in the meeting as Mike) said a third-party traffic consultant generally agreed with the developer's traffic-impact study but recommended a road safety audit because the surrounding roads are largely rural and several intersections have limited sight distance. Mike pointed to the Baxter–Ringwald and Craner–Ringwald areas as locations with restricted visibility and said the audit should identify low-cost mitigations such as signage, clearing fence rows, pavement markings or other measures per the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Commissioners pressed the timing and scope of the audit. Commissioner Michael Shirley asked, \"Can you explain the difference between a traffic study and a safety audit?\" Mike replied that a traffic study projects traffic volumes and levels of service, while a road safety audit is a boots-on-the-ground review to identify sight-distance and roadside obstacle hazards and mitigation steps.

Developer representative Matt Taylor of SCC told the commission the team would accelerate the studies if the commission preferred seeing them before final approval: \"We would probably volunteer or deferral. We'll bring some extra drainage study back for Mike and we might just go ahead and accelerate the safety audit. It's something we're going to do anyway.\" Taylor offered to provide the additional drainage information and to advance the safety audit into the earlier review phase.

Commissioners also discussed recurring flood issues on Craner Road and the project's relationship to FEMA-mapped 100-year floodplains; county staff showed FEMA floodplain maps and noted locations where Craner Road is frequently closed by high water. Staff said the eventual Baxter Road connection could provide an alternative route during closures.

After discussion, a commissioner moved to defer action so the developer could supply a full drainage plan, the road safety audit, and other materials requested by staff. The motion was seconded and the roll call recorded unanimous agreement; the commission deferred action on the preliminary plan.

The commission instructed staff to return the item when the developer supplies the requested safety audit, an expanded drainage plan including easement delineations, and any geotechnical or hydrologic findings about springs or cave features that could affect lot layout.","The Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission deferred preliminary approval of the 150.2-acre Kittrell Glen residential subdivision after staff and commissioners raised unresolved traffic-safety and drainage issues and asked the developer to provide an accelerated road safety audit and a fuller drainage analysis.","actionData","errors"]
