Planning commission approves three final plats, grants waivers for small family lots
Summary
Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission approved three final plats — Ruby, Simmons Estates and Belinda Lillard — each requiring waivers for lots smaller than five acres or for fire-hydrant distance; all motions passed unanimously.
The Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission approved three final plats at its March 24, 2029 meeting, granting waivers needed for newly created lots that do not meet standard lot-size or hydrant-distance requirements.
The approvals matter because each plat creates smaller lots or site conditions that required explicit waivers: two involved family divisions creating lots under five acres served by private easements, and one requested a fire-hydrant distance waiver because the local water line cannot support a hydrant.
