Planning commission approves multiple plats and site plans; Halls Hill Estates among items approved
Summary
At its Sept. 22 meeting, the Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission approved preliminary and final plats and multiple site plans — including Halls Hill Estates preliminary plan — voting to approve each subject to staff comments.
The Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission on Sept. 22 approved a set of preliminary and final plats and site plans, including Halls Hill Estates, Nature Walk Section 4, Levy Ref Subdivision and the Epps Mill Road gas station; each approval was subject to staff comments.
The commission approved preliminary plan reapproval 25-1007 for Halls Hill Estates — described by staff as 103 lots with 96 buildable lots on about 68 acres in a mix of PUD and RL zoning along Halls Hill Pike. Staff said prior right-of-way and traffic-improvement issues appear resolvable within a Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) acquired right-of-way and that Smith Hall Road will be rebuilt to current county standards with curb and gutter. Commissioners voted to approve the request subject to staff comments.
The commission approved the final plat reapproval for Nature Walk Subdivision Section 4 (reapproval 22-2005), a replat of common area and 22 lots on roughly 12.21 acres in a PUD. Staff said the plat was originally approved Sept. 25, 2023, and needed reapproval because it was not recorded within 12 months.
The commission approved Levy Ref Subdivision (252063), a two-lot subdivision on 2.64 acres in RM zoning along Rock Springs Midland Road, subject to prior waivers previously granted and placement of an easement off Grey Fox Drive.
The commission approved a site plan for the Epps Mill Road gas station (253002): a 4,650-square-foot retail/convenience store and fueling facility on 1.48 acres in EAC zoning. Staff said the resubmitted plan shifts improvements to the west and will connect with an adjacent Dollar General; sanitary sewer service is contingent on Murfreesboro approval. TDOT required shared access rather than a new driveway on Epps Mill and staff said the city sewer connection allowed flexibility that had not existed with a septic design.
Votes at a glance - Halls Hill Estates (Preliminary plan reapproval 25-1007): Motion to approve subject to staff comments; motion carried (roll call recorded). - Nature Walk Section 4 (Final plat reapproval 22-2005): Motion to approve; carried. - Levy Ref Subdivision (252063): Motion to approve subject to prior waivers and staff comments; carried. - Epps Mill Road Gas Station (253002): Motion to approve subject to staff comments; carried.
Commissioners and staff said approvals remain subject to the staff conditions and final construction plans. Several items will require additional permits, coordination with TDOT or the city of Murfreesboro, or final engineering reviews before construction can begin.
The commission moved to other agenda items after completing these approvals.
Ending: The approvals recorded at this meeting are preliminary or conditioned approvals; developers must satisfy the staff comments and any external agency sign-offs (for example, city sewer or TDOT requirements) before final construction permits are issued.
