Planning commission reviews Crane site plan; commissioners flag fire-flow, labeling and stormwater questions; broader subdivision access concerns discussed

For the Crane site plan, planning staff described two proposed buildings: a roughly 16,000-square-foot storage-type building and a 4,800-square-foot office/ancillary building with associated parking and landscaping. Staff told the commission the developers positioned all construction outside the mapped floodplain, proposed creek buffers and submitted a full set of construction documents and drainage calculations. The presenter said the stormwater and water-quality calculations demonstrated on-site runoff reductions and that the developers provided a maintenance agreement that must be finalized and approved by the state of Tennessee.
