Commission recommends final plat for 1305 College Heights Road (Beckner Subdivision)
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approval of a three‑lot final plat for the Beckner Subdivision at 1305 College Heights Road (zoned R‑3). The applicant combined two previously proposed lots to avoid a sewer extension requirement; staff found the plat meets subdivision ordinance standards.
The Johnson City Regional Planning Commission on May 13 recommended approval of a three‑lot final plat for the Beckner Subdivision at 1305 College Heights Road.
Planning staff told the commission the property is zoned R‑3 and located near ETSU’s football field. The applicant originally had an approved four‑lot preliminary plat that required a sewer extension to Lot 1; the developer later combined Lots 1 and 2 so the final plat now proposes three lots and removes the immediate sewer extension requirement.
Under R‑3 density rules, staff explained Lot 1 could allow up to four units, Lot 2 retains three existing units and would be allotted three additional units, and Lot 3 (1.45 acres) could allow up to 10 units. Staff recommended approval because the final plat met the Johnson City subdivision ordinance.
Developer Ray Vachner, 1002 Katy’s Way, Johnson City, told commissioners he planned to subdivide to raise funds to develop the other parcels and later would subdivide the front parcel and install the sewer extension.
Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend approval and to forward the plat to the next stage for final administrative processing.
