Planning commission: quick results on other agenda items (Coles Ferry, Station Camp, Wedgwood, Hidden Creek, Carrollton)
Summary
The planning commission approved or recommended several land‑use items on the agenda: Coles Ferry detached garage (approved), Station Camp rezoning (approved with conditions and hospital access coordination), Wedgwood townhomes (approved with connector exceptions), Hidden Creek commercial (minor amendment approved) and Carrollton Lot 2 (approved with revised conditions).
The Gallatin Planning Commission considered several additional agenda items during the same meeting and issued recommendations or approvals as summarized below. These items were handled with substantially less public debate than the Foxland Harbor Marina item.
Coles Ferry Road detached garage (Resolution 2025-063) Staff reported the site plan for a 576-square-foot accessory structure on a 1.59-acre lot in Langley Estates met required plan elements. The commission approved Resolution 2025-063 with one condition. (Mover/Seconder: not specified in transcript; outcome: approved.)
Station Camp Master Development rezoning with PMDP (Resolution 2025-074) The commission considered a rezoning for roughly 83 acres for mixed-use development adjacent to Big Station Camp Boulevard, which includes retail, medical, senior living, single-family, townhomes and apartments. Applicant representatives reported ongoing coordination with Sumner Station hospital regarding an access connection. Rod Harker, CEO and market president for High Point Health, spoke in favor of the hospital’s partnership on access improvements. The commission voted to approve the staff recommendation with conditions; one commissioner recorded a no vote in the roll-call discussion noted in the transcript. Staff highlighted that the hospital access was a condition to be addressed as part of the plan and recommended engineering and legal finalization before council review.
Wedgwood Townhomes (rezoning / PMDP) The commission reviewed a request to rezone about 10 acres to MU with a preliminary master development plan for 72 townhomes on 8.2 acres (8.78 units per acre overall when excluding a commercial tract). After discussion about road cross‑sections and neighborhood connections, the applicant revised Wedgwood Drive into a three‑lane collector section and the commission approved the request while striking two staff conditions that would have required public street connections to the adjacent Bernhardt and Paisley roads. The approved plan retains alley‑fed townhomes and a small commercial frontage.
Hidden Creek Commercial (Resolution 2025-079) An amended PMDP and final master plan for a 2‑acre MU lot north of Springdale for mixed retail and restaurant uses (approximately 49,405 square feet across two buildings) was presented. Staff recommended this be handled as a minor amendment. The applicant stated they would work with engineering to relocate a right‑in/right‑out access as requested by staff. The commission approved the minor amendment and the plan with conditions.
Carrollton Commercial Lot 2 (Resolution 2025-076) The applicant sought approval of an amended PMDP/final plan for a roughly 1.32‑acre MRO lot. Neighbors raised concerns about lighting, stormwater discharge to HOA lands, the location of an irrigation meter/backflow device, and the possibility of retail convenience uses at the site. In response the applicant agreed to either relocate the irrigation meter at developer expense or grant an easement for it, and the commission amended staff condition 1 to remove notes allowing “convenience sales and services” and “limited retail” from the plan. The commission approved the amended plan with the updated conditions.
Procedure and next steps Most of these approvals (other than Foxland Harbor Marina) proceed to City Council for final action where required by the city’s zoning and PMDP process. Several items will require final engineering, stormwater and traffic reviews or specific written agreements (for example, the Station Camp rezoning access agreement with the hospital and updated traffic information for Carrollton and Hidden Creek lots).
Votes and formal actions recorded (summary) - Coles Ferry detached garage (Res. 2025-063): approved (motion and second noted in transcript; detailed tally not specified). - Station Camp rezoning/PMDP (Res. 2025-074): approved with staff conditions; one recorded no vote noted in transcript; staff asked for finalized access agreement with the hospital before council. - Wedgwood Townhomes (rezoning/PMDP): approved; commission removed requirements to connect Bernhardt and Paisley to the new development as requested by applicant and neighbors. - Hidden Creek commercial (Res. 2025-079): approved as a minor amendment with conditions; applicant to work with engineering on the right‑in/right‑out relocation. - Carrollton Commercial Lot 2 (Res. 2025-076): approved with amended conditions; plan note on convenience sales and services removed; irrigation meter/backflow issue to be resolved by developer (relocation or easement).
What residents said Neighbors who spoke at public comment repeatedly asked for additional traffic analysis, limits on retail/convenience uses that could generate higher traffic, assurance of buffer landscaping and facade materials, control of lighting to city code levels and clarification or correction of stormwater discharge paths. Commission and staff repeatedly noted that final engineering, stormwater and site‑specific design elements are addressed at the FMDP/engineering stage and through city conditions.
Where to find documents Staff presentation materials, the developer’s resubmitted plans and the commission’s written conditions are part of the public record and will accompany each item to City Council when required.
