Commission approves Weigel site plan on Genesis Road contingent on TDOT and stormwater permits
Summary
The planning commission approved a site plan for a proposed Weigel convenience store with car wash and pumps on Genesis Road, contingent on required Tennessee Department of Transportation driveway permits and stormwater permits; planners noted a local winery may be seeking relocation but had no official notice.
The planning commission approved a site plan for a proposed Weigel store at the corner of Genesis Road and Cook Road, contingent on required Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) driveway permits and required stormwater permits.
City planner described the proposal as a 6,605-square-foot store with a 125-foot car wash, roughly 50 parking spaces and gas pumps (the exact number of pumps was not specified in the transcript). Staff recommended approval of the site plan "contingent upon required stormwater permits and TDOT driveway permits," the city planner said.
Planners discussed driveway connections: four proposed driveways along Cook Road (a city street) and two along Genesis Road (a state highway), and noted that land-use changes can trigger a requirement for new TDOT driveway permits even when an existing driveway exists. The transcript includes a staff comment that commissioners had read a local news article suggesting that Stone House Winery was potentially looking for a new location, but staff said they had "no conversation" with the winery and had no official notice.
The commission moved and seconded approval of the site plan with the stated contingencies; the motion carried on a voice vote recorded as "aye" in the meeting transcript. The transcript did not include a roll-call vote or named vote tallies.
