Planning commission approves multiple plats and site plans, including Dollar General and Moody Excavating addition
Summary
At its Nov. 10 meeting the planning commission approved a string of routine land-use items: waivers and final plats for family divisions, site-plan approvals for Sledge Road mulch storage, Moody Excavating shop addition, a Dollar General store and reapproval for a Prime Time convenience store.
Rutherford County’s Regional Planning Commission approved several plats, waivers and site plans during its Nov. 10 meeting, clearing multiple applicants to proceed to the county’s permitting or site-plan stages.
Among the actions, commissioners approved a waiver and preliminary steps for a three‑lot split at 717 Morton Road (applicant Brittany Wicks), noting that the applicant must submit a plat and that the county will review additional staff comments prior to recordation. A final plat for a family division at Mountlow (Sherry Ann Cunningham) was approved with staff conditions after discussion about a fire-hydrant placement that required a distance waiver. The Young Trust minor subdivision (Home Team Inc./Shannon Hicks) was also approved; staff said a fire hydrant will be added to put the property within the required 1,000-foot distance.
Site plans approved included Phase 1 of a mulch and equipment storage area in a PUD on Sledge Road (Jeff Moody), an addition and compliance resubmittal for Moody Excavating LLC that brought an unpermitted lean-to into the approval package (engineers flagged a city sewer easement encroachment that the applicant must resolve with the city), and a 10,640-square-foot Dollar General along Highway 99 (Highway 99 Holdings LLC) that will require a TDOT-approved left-turn lane. Commissioners also reapproved an expired site plan for a 3,789-square-foot Prime Time convenience store on Sulphur Springs Road after the applicant completed roadway plans.
All approvals were made subject to staff comments and subsequent permits or corrective actions where noted. For the Moody Excavating site plan, engineering staff said the unpermitted equipment-storage shed sits in a city sewer easement and the applicant must coordinate with the city to reroute or otherwise mitigate the encroachment. For Dollar General, staff said access and a left-turn lane along Highway 99 will be required as part of the approval process.
Outcome: Multiple approvals by voice vote; applicants must address outstanding engineering and site-plan comments before building permits are issued.
