Regional Planning Commission approves Ferris property preliminary plat for eight-lot subdivision
Summary
The Bradley County Regional Planning Commission voted to approve a preliminary plat for the Ferris property, an eight-lot subdivision served by a private road off Lauderdale Highway; the planner said lots are buildable despite a mapped floodway.
The Bradley County Regional Planning Commission on an at‑meeting vote approved a preliminary plat for the Ferris property, an eight‑lot subdivision served off Lauderdale Highway.
The commission’s planner, Bentley, told the panel the proposal appears to meet the county’s subdivision regulations and zoning resolution and that the lots, though adjacent to floodway, are laid out as buildable. "It's an 8 lot subdivision off of a private road," Bentley said while pointing to the map.
The plat drew little public comment; no members of the public spoke for or against the proposal during the hearing. Commissioners asked clerk Danny to call the roll before the commission recorded the approval.
Why it matters: Preliminary plat approval allows the property owner to advance to final platting steps and to seek any required permits; it does not by itself guarantee permit approvals or development financing. The planner noted the mapped floodway but said the lot layout provided buildable area.
Supporting details: The proposal includes two lots that front on Lauderdale Highway and the balance accessed via the private road. Bentley confirmed the plat meets the county’s subdivision regulations and zoning resolution. The commission recorded the approval by roll call and announced the motion carried with seven affirmative votes.
Next steps: Final platting, any required permits and infrastructure agreements would follow the preliminary approval.
