Planning commission backs changes to subdivision regulations to align with state law and clarify monument placement
Summary
Staff proposed updates to subdivision regulations to reflect state-law changes about vesting entitlement timing and to clarify surveyor monument placement; the commission recommended approval of Resolution 2025-89.
The Franklin Municipal Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of Resolution 2025-89, which amends the city’s subdivision regulations to incorporate recent state-law changes about timing of vesting entitlements and to clarify surveyor signature-block and monument (pin) placement language.
Staff said the updates respond to Tennessee rules of practice for land surveyors, which require surveys to note whether monuments were found or set and to specify materials and identification but do not define precisely when pins must be set. The proposed language clarifies expectations for monument notation and aligns the city’s code with state standards.
There was no public comment on the item. Commissioners praised staff for researching surveyor-board rules and for bringing the ordinance language into alignment with state practice. The commission recommended approval by roll call vote.
