Summary
The Anderson City board approved two commercial replats Sept. 30, 2025: Outlot B in Applewood Village (dividing the Hardee's parcel for a future Tropical Smoothie) and Lot 3 in Meyer South (creating a 1.276-acre Lot 6 for a Thrive Credit Union). Both motions passed with no recorded opposition.
Anderson City on Sept. 30, 2025, approved two commercial replats that will split existing parcels to make room for new commercial tenants.
The board approved a replat of Outlot B in the Applewood Village subdivision that divides a 1.14-acre site on the west side of South Scatterfield Road between Burger King and Hardee's into two lots. The replat leaves Lot B1 as the existing Hardee's at about 0.802 acre and creates Lot B2 of roughly one-third of an acre intended for a future Tropical Smoothie Cafe. The plan maintains a 60-foot front building setback along Scatterfield Road and shows 10-foot and 20-foot drainage, utility and communication easements around the interior perimeter of both lots; it also preserves a limited-access easement along Scatterfield Road. Construction for the new lot was described as expected to begin in spring 2026.
The board also approved a replat of Lot 3 in the Meyer South subdivision to create a new Lot 6 of 1.276 acres for a proposed Thrive Credit Union branch. The proposal calls for a 3,181-square-foot building with drive-through lanes and parking; staff said the branch is expected to employ about five workers. Because the site is zoned B-4, the credit union must still obtain a special exception from the Board of Zoning Appeals before building; staff estimated the BZA review could occur in October or November 2025 and construction could begin in November 2025 with an opening in spring 2026. Meijer will relinquish 98 parking spaces to accommodate Lot 6; staff indicated Meijer does not expect the change to affect store operations or customers. The replat preserves the required 60-foot front building setback along E 60 Seventh Street and documents recorded storm sewer and gas easements near the lot perimeter; a 20-foot drainage, utility and communication easement will surround Lot 6.
Both replats were presented to the board by planning staff and were requested by Mr. Styers. Each motion to approve the replat, along with the dedications, covenants and easements shown on the plats, was moved and seconded and carried with all members saying "aye." No votes were recorded by name in the transcript.
Why it matters: splitting these commercial parcels formalizes space for two new businesses (a smoothie cafe and a credit-union branch) and adjusts parking and easement configurations that affect adjacent commercial properties and traffic/access on Scatterfield Road and E 60 Seventh Street. The Meyer South replat also requires a separate zoning exception that must be resolved before development proceeds.
The plats now proceed to the administrative steps required for recording and any subsequent permit reviews; the credit union site still faces a BZA special-exception step before building permits can be issued.
