Staff flags missing items, road‑stub and FAA easement questions on Enoch Hills Section 3 preliminary plat
Summary
Planning staff reviewed the preliminary plat for Enoch Hills Section 3, a 52‑lot single‑family subdivision on roughly 31 acres, and identified multiple missing plat items and outstanding connectivity and airport easement questions.
Staff presented a preliminary plat for Enoch Hills Subdivision Section 3, a proposal for 52 single‑family lots on about 31.01 acres zoned R‑20 located north of Hartsville Pike and west of Woodlands Drive.
Charlie Peery, staff planner, listed multiple substantive comments the applicant must address before the plat advances: an updated engineer's seal (the date on the current seal appeared expired), a typical lot layout on all sheets showing setbacks and public utility/drainage easements, proposed addresses for the lots, E‑911 corner markings for two corner lots, and revised street names based on E‑911 review. “Planning Department Staff had quite a few comments for this preliminary plat. There is a lot of information that is missing. First, we'll start with the engineer's seal. The date seems to be expired,” Peery said.
Commissioners and applicants also discussed connectivity to adjacent subdivisions. Staff said the plat shows right‑of‑way dedication for a future cross‑connection to the development to the east but does not show build‑out of that road. Commissioners recalled past discussion in which full connections to Woodlands Drive were considered and later removed; staff clarified it expects the developer to build out to the property line so a future city project could complete the full connection. A commissioner asked whether a full connection would become a city project; staff agreed that in some historic discussions the remaining segments would likely be completed by the city.
Commissioners raised aviation‑related concerns because portions of Enoch Hills reach higher elevations near Gallatin's airport. One commissioner, who identified himself as chairman of the airport authority, asked staff to add language or an easement from the FAA — a navigation easement — to help protect airport airspace and allow for long‑term tree management. Staff agreed to add the language and the applicant said they could address staff comments. The commission asked the applicant to return after revisions.
