211 Hickerson Circle: Applicant Yiyang Dong (referred to as Yang in the hearing) requested a variance to recognize the existing driveway as the lot frontage and permit the duplex to remain oriented toward that driveway. Planning staff explained the lot technically fronts an unimproved public right‑of‑way that is not built as a road; treating the driveway side as the front of the lot allows the duplex to meet R2 lot‑width requirements. The board voted to grant the variance, allowing the owner to renovate and expand the duplex while maintaining access from the existing driveway.

417 West Wagener Street: Surveyor Andy Best described a situation where a decades‑old single‑wide mobile home at 415/417 Wagener sits across a lot line, leaving an adjacent purchased lot with insufficient width by current ordinance. The owner purchased multiple contiguous lots and the survey discovered the line through the trailer; the applicant submitted a revision plat to move the line so the trailer sits entirely on one lot. Staff said the resulting 35‑foot width for the neighboring lot is consistent with other narrow lots on West Wagener Street; the board granted the variance to avoid undue hardship on the existing occupant and the buyer of the lots.

Both variances were granted with no public opposition at the hearings. Board members cited neighborhood patterns and the practical hardship of removing long‑standing structures when applying the board’s five findings for variances.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tullahoma Planning Commission July 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Tullahoma Board of Zoning Appeals granted two variances on July 21 — one allowing a duplex at 211 Hickerson Circle to be treated as fronting an existing driveway, and another adjusting lot lines on West Wagener Street to preserve a long‑standing mobile home and allow the buyer to keep the neighboring lot.","taxTitle","Planning Commission Meetings, Tullahoma, Coffee County, Tennessee","taxId",70981,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6162749,"Planning commission approves three minor subdivision plats inside the urban growth boundary",216,383000,599000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5437645-d50e25b850768abf049e960b50ba4dd3&start=383&end=599","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5437645-d50e25b850768abf049e960b50ba4dd3/thumbnail_383000.jpg","/articles/6162749/Tennessee/Planning-commission-approves-three-minor-subdivision-plats-inside-the-urban-growth-boundary","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6162749-9c8f3a01b0ed41d5ecb4396222dcfc04/orig.mp4?Expires=1770409607&Signature=g4HC9OYH0gAiUsJaE76dwCm--sUAz25ddYknBOh2IqT48FME7KlyeuM7wtNuOt90g2m5qzEebZL97wbe048gd-i1z~1X~2ZQK3IdIkHpzPSWNXLdGOiS~WuGEfF9QvQF8W0xd4fLDCcXc7vrP6KfRMSjG3exa5zZUWGwuITOL2L-iLxe6UWstiU4HqqnoLJawg9jaQ6b2KZh8qytr1FWSgUeRYs5jPO-WbViC5HlfTtKtQXRp2mfPu4OQlsiY~dh2tjltECd9ZAa6GcA9tGw5i9FzwvbL60uCbCx~GJQrStMhOw2XLgwPF1s~PtbpTz8mmIucRaO8zWPnpK7-8StBA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tullahoma Planning Commission approved three minor subdivision final plats during its July 21 meeting that create new lots within the city’s planning region (urban growth boundary in Coffee County).

198 Gee Road: Staff reported that this two‑lot final plat was held from the prior meeting pending Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) sign‑off of septic drainfield locations. Planning staff said the TDEC signature was obtained and that the city engineer requested a five‑foot public‑use easement along each lot frontage. The commission approved the final plat 6–0 subject to staff comments.

Moore West Deckard Street (208 West Deckard): The applicant, Josh Moore, previously sought and received rezoning from R2 to R3 at Board of Mayor and Aldermen first and second readings, staff said; with the R3 zoning in place the lot met subdivision standards and the commission approved the two‑lot minor subdivision 6–0, subject to staff comments.

GH Custom Homes (Hickory Hills Road): Mandy Bobo of Northcutt and Associates presented a proposal to split a roughly five‑acre corner parcel (Avoca Lake and Hickory Hills Road) into two lots. Staff noted the parcel lies inside the city’s urban growth boundary (UGB), which requires municipal regional planning review even though the property is in Coffee County; the commission approved the plat 6–0 subject to staff comments.

In each case staff indicated comments from the Development Advisory Committee and the city engineer were recorded as conditions of approval. Commissioners voted unanimously on all three plats.","On July 21 the commission approved final plats for 198 Gee Road, Moore West Deckard Street, and a two‑lot subdivision on Hickory Hills Road; the Gee Road approval followed receipt of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation sign‑off on septic drainfield locations.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6162754,"Commission approves 98‑unit Lofts at Tullahoma site plan on Old Estill Springs Road",833,1306000,2139000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5437645-d50e25b850768abf049e960b50ba4dd3&start=1306&end=2139","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5437645-d50e25b850768abf049e960b50ba4dd3/thumbnail_1306000.jpg","/articles/6162754/Tennessee/Commission-approves-98unit-Lofts-at-Tullahoma-site-plan-on-Old-Estill-Springs-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6162754-ee89e308ad39983eade2232d47423c7b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770453139&Signature=K87XaJIvQOOaypgUT-7baSa86N6iYMQiYOZvGy~2SLc5GMA9pt~xnrqU9EsiGQA00xAhNgPv2n-itjlzIzuG0cey4SXnxxWLaFQkP9b4PeQMdKX7S4icZT9MpV8P33ebhVGQuAbRnjMz3DxaxzbLwa-L3Hh3FyzWHh2dulQpu48IXChiOzB9iy-ipincq~ELAimJIcieTI~eReYwvATqtL9sz1WHIdaQyfumSlH~CUxYiV8q5RDDtvrYqCwFntxMTHpuRVRcdQBjM5cdmRRrwuW2~ZeMtD6U8yk9712-jh2~Ce8wdaOAXbB3NiZn8kUzPaJbk1sqhQjxux~hwUTX~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tullahoma Planning Commission voted July 21 to approve the Lofts at Tullahoma site plan at 1020 Old Estill Springs Road, clearing the way for a multi‑building apartment project that the applicant said will contain 96 units in four‑story buildings plus two additional units in a one‑story building.

Lucas Lampkin of Alliance Engineering presented the plan on behalf of New Doors Development LLC and said the team coordinated with the city’s Development Advisory Committee. Staff recommended approval after DAC comments were addressed in updated plans.

Staff told the commission the main outstanding administrative items are the long‑term maintenance plan and the recorded stormwater detention maintenance agreement; the city also asked for two hard copies of recorded documents. Elk River (the local utility) noted an existing service line to the house at 1020 Old Estill Springs that must be terminated before demolition.

Commissioners discussed circulation and access. The applicant said the proposed internal road will be a private road that terminates in a turnaround reviewed by fire and public works and will not connect through to Washington Street; the developer and city traffic consultant concluded the development’s new trips would not require creation of a public through‑road. The applicant also included a restriping concept near the site entrance to improve the approach from Estill Springs Road.

A commissioner asked about construction timing; the developer said construction is likely to take about a year after mobilization. Commissioners advised coordinating heavy construction vehicle routing to avoid damaging recently paved city streets.

The commission approved the site plan 6–0 subject to the staff and DAC conditions and the usual requirement that the recorded maintenance agreement and long‑term maintenance plan be provided to Planning and Codes before final permitting.","The Planning Commission approved a site plan for a new multifamily development at 1020 Old Estill Springs Road with 96 units in four‑story buildings plus two single‑story units, subject to standard stormwater documentation and utility disconnection of an existing service line before demolition.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6162759,"Planning commission approves NHC assisted-living and memory-care site plan at 1339 Cedar Lane",474,796000,1270000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5437645-d50e25b850768abf049e960b50ba4dd3&start=796&end=1270","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5437645-d50e25b850768abf049e960b50ba4dd3/thumbnail_796000.jpg","/articles/6162759/Tennessee/Planning-commission-approves-NHC-assisted-living-and-memory-care-site-plan-at-1339-Cedar-Lane","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6162759-cd9a865bcfcef586736a8ee609902a6b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770453139&Signature=XGOKP9lDmu20BPHKDUrVO31ScBBn4LdTPVAOblG~EbCjjQDAHrpbfrEr4MgKlUIa77pEPoN9bJwUeM8uOWXEcW67ogwuGomTTZsmfqQxrosnBdwmb5Dm7NVGXqRDqHJWCKmusJv2p~APQnBroJDMPs2H6twj3UQvlxmsW4dwj2RuPHHyuHTDfAonIQTVRZKGKFx5O7jdAUHijLvKLXkF3joE1kstUh0cAM75Ygfk6JJBj2DF2n~di30~I-DCgdVZSIqlCmFIE2T0jr6-tyG5tpgnOhjEapz5GdwiOUQ6JJbBl~XDhVFOQ2PrTz83LXBUwZkhNZkQSMj~SE~NlQdknA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tullahoma Planning Commission approved a site plan on July 21 for a new National Healthcare Corporation facility at 1339 Cedar Lane that will add assisted‑living and memory‑care beds adjacent to an existing NHC campus.

Staff and the project team told the commission the two‑building development will provide assisted living and memory care services to supplement the existing facility. Gary O’Brien of La Bella Associates represented the project team at the hearing; Andy Clark represented National Healthcare Corporation.

The commission’s Development Advisory Committee (DAC) and city engineering staff identified routine technical requirements including stormwater detention paperwork, structure elevations, and extension of a proposed sidewalk along the Cedar Lane frontage. Staff said those items are to be resolved during the applicant’s stormwater permitting and final plan submittal; the DAC’s comments were included as conditions of approval.

National Healthcare representatives described the project program size when asked: “56 assisted living and 23” memory‑care beds, the staff report and applicants said. City staff and DAC members also flagged a 4‑inch pressurized gas main crossing the northern part of the site; the applicant is coordinating with the gas provider, and electric loading information will be provided before building connection, staff said.

Commissioners added one motion condition asking the applicant to extend sidewalk improvements along the new development’s Cedar Lane frontage to the south side of the proposed building frontage (not to the existing adjoining building). That sidewalk extension was accepted as a friendly amendment and included in the motion before the commission voted.

The planning commission voted 6–0 to approve the site plan subject to staff and DAC comments and the sidewalk condition.

Staff noted the city engineer did not expect the DAC conditions to require significant site-plan changes and that the technical items could be addressed during permit review. The applicant team said they will provide finalized stormwater and utility plans and follow the city’s recorded maintenance‑agreement requirements before building permits are issued.","The Tullahoma Planning Commission approved a site plan for a new National Healthcare Corporation facility at 1339 Cedar Lane that will add assisted‑living and memory care capacity adjacent to an existing NHC campus, subject to development-advisory comments including stormwater and sidewalk work.","actionData","errors"]
