Planning commission approves consent agenda including Phase 1 layout for Country Club Road and multiple plats
Summary
At its April 22 meeting the Decatur Planning Commission approved a consent agenda covering site plans, subdivision certificates and one phase‑1 layout tied to the Country Club Road master plan; one certificate (3643‑25) was held for separate vote and later approved 7-0.
The Decatur City Planning Commission on April 22 approved a consent agenda that included site plans, layout plats and subdivision certificates; the items were read together and voted on as a group after the public hearing on the Country Club Road master plan. The commission moved to approve the consent items with one item (Certificate 3643‑25) pulled for separate consideration.
Key items in the consent action included:
- Phase 1 layout plan for Country Club Road: 11.5 acres, current zone RD, applicant Pew Wright McAnally, landowner Cook Properties LLC; request to construct 65 residential units. Staff noted utilities relocations are at the owner’s expense.
- Site Plan 705‑25 (1.08 acres) for property at 1104 Bedline Place SE: applicant Dynamic Engineering Consultants, landowner Tri Land LLC; comments requested on electric easement, parking dimensions, erosion control plans and ALDOT standard notes.
- Certificate 3642‑25 (8.84 acres) for 928 Semmes Street SW: applicant Pew Wright McAnally, landowner Hernandez Universal Properties; request to subdivide one parcel into two with conditions to show sewer easements.
- Certificate 3644‑25 (6.4 acres) to consolidate four lots at 1301 Central Parkway; point of information: floodplain development permit required for any future development.
- Certificate 3640‑25 (0.56 acres) for lot line adjustments at Park Terrace; no conditions.
- Certificate 3646‑25 (7.54 acres) to consolidate/subdivide property on Highway 31 South; staff noted there is no wastewater at the location.
Commissioners set aside Certificate 3643‑25 (0.47 acres at 208 and 212 Church Street) for separate vote because a member had a potential conflict; that item was subsequently considered and approved by roll call with a 7-0 vote. The commission also reviewed a bond release request for Valley Park North (release of a $60,000 sidewalk bond) and voted to approve it. Vacation 556‑25 (vacation of 0.8 acres of a 20‑foot gas easement at 928 Semmes Street) was recommended to the city council; staff noted the utility (gas) has approved the vacation.
Staff reiterated the recurring point of information across these items: any relocation of utilities will be at the owner’s expense and must occur before construction. For parcels where future development is proposed in a mapped floodplain, a floodplain development permit is required before work begins. The consent decisions proceed as final actions of the planning commission where public hearing is not required; certain items will still move to city council for final approval as noted on individual items.
