Planning commission approves preliminary plat for Waller Estates subdivision
Summary
The Dixon County Planning Commission approved a preliminary plat to subdivide 10 acres at 1101 Promise Land Road into four lots (Lots 2–5). The surveyor said the closing for the parent parcel is pending; the commission approved the plat by voice vote.
The Dixon County Planning Commission voted to approve the preliminary plat for Lots 2 through 5 of the Waller Estates subdivision, a 10‑acre parcel at 1101 Promise Land Road.
The plat, prepared by Christie Surveying, would subdivide tax map 57, parcel 51 into four new lots. Commissioner Todd Lindsey moved to approve the preliminary plat; Commissioner Darren Green seconded. The chair called for a voice vote and said the ayes have it.
The surveyor, identified in the meeting as Christie of Christie Surveying, told the commission that the parent parcel's purchase is close to closing and that Lot 1 had previously been recorded and retained by a separate owner. Planning staff said one corrective comment had been addressed on the plat before the vote.
Commissioners asked several procedural and liability questions during discussion, including whether the county would assume responsibility for a petroleum pipeline shown near Lot 5. Planning staff and county counsel responded that pipelines are regulated under Tennessee law and that the county would not assume liability simply by approving the plat; the pipeline has a 25‑foot easement on either side of its centerline as shown on the plat.
The commission did not record a roll‑call vote for the plat; the chair reported the voice vote carried. The surveyor and planning staff will proceed with the recording process once outstanding conveyance paperwork for the owner is complete.
The approval allows the applicant to move forward with final engineering and recording steps required for the new lot configuration. Further site‑level reviews (for driveways, access, or building permits) would follow existing permitting procedures.
