Bradley County planning commission approves Truett Reserve preliminary plat

The Bradley County Regional Planning Commission on Oct. 5 approved the preliminary plat for the Truett Reserve subdivision, after the project engineer described revisions that reduced the number of lots.

The commission chair, John Pruitt, introduced the item and asked if the plat met subdivision and zoning requirements. Tom Whitson, the project engineer, told the commission the development had been approved previously and that water in the lower portion of the property forced a reduction in lots. “Originally, it was approved for 25 lots. … So now we're gonna look at it in a 12 or 13 lots,” Whitson said.

The commission moved and seconded the approval, with Max Phillips making the motion and Josh Rogers seconding. Janie Bishop and other members recorded votes in favor. The roll call recorded multiple “yes” votes and the chair announced the plat was approved.

Commission members briefly noted they would correct earlier minutes about attendance and votes before moving on to new business.

The approved preliminary plat, as described by Whitson, keeps the lot layout largely the same as the prior approvals except for the omitted lower portion. Whitson said financing had been in place for years and the applicant was finalizing the project after earlier approvals a decade ago and three years ago.

The commission did not discuss specific conditions on the record beyond confirming the plat appears to meet the subdivision regulations and zoning resolutions; the item will follow the normal administrative process for final plats and subsequent permitting.
