The Planning Commission approved multiple preliminary plat amendments and related construction‑phase conditions for the Preserve at Lexington Cove planned unit development, including consolidation of a previously approved 17‑unit cottage phase into a single 42‑unit cottages phase and approvals for townhomes and single‑family lots in subsequent phases.

Staff said the cottage phase amendment shifts a phase line so the previously approved 17 cottages and an additional 25 cottages will be included in one phase under the project’s horizontal property regime; staff recommended approval conditioned on resolution of outstanding utility comments and standard construction‑phase conditions such as stormwater agreements and final plans. Commissioners asked about utilities, and the applicant’s engineer said they had resolved iterations with the power and water vendors and expect remaining utility comments to be minor.

The commission also approved preliminary plats for 12 single‑family lots (phase 2B) and a 44‑unit townhome phase. Staff and TDOT review were discussed in relation to off‑site traffic work: commissioners were told that certain off‑site improvements, including a dedicated left‑turn lane into Vine Street and other taper/shift work, are triggered at later phases and subject to TDOT review. Staff said the PUD’s pattern book will be amended as required and final construction documents must satisfy Shelbyville Power and other agency comments before permits are issued.

Motions to approve the preliminary plats and amendments carried on roll calls. The approvals included multiple standard conditions to be addressed at final plan or construction submittal, and staff emphasized that traffic‑related off‑site improvements will be required as phases reach their triggering thresholds.
