The Dickson County Planning Commission approved a site plan for the Nashville Getaway RV And Campground on Jan. 8, voting to accept plans for a 9.2-acre C-2 parcel on Highway 48 South.

The commission heard a staff summary that the project (Tax Map 139, Parcel 30.07) had previously cleared development-review steps, including county commission public hearings and a special inspection. Commissioner Jeff Chase, who visited the property, said the project was a good fit for the area but cautioned that Highway 48 South could see conflicts from large rigs and recommended traffic controls such as a dedicated turning lane or speed-reduction measures—"the only thing I worry about is some sort of traffic control, either reducing the speed limit there or something else," Chase said.

Engineers for the project described utility plans and on-site wastewater design. "For the record, I'm Jared Gray, civil design consultant for the engineers of record here," Gray said. He explained the campground will use a private sewer collection system tied to an on-site septic tank, confirmed the plans show a 5,000-gallon tank, and said the sewer design will be submitted to the state for formal review after site-plan approval. Gray also said the plans include industry-standard turning radii and secondary (reserve) drain-field areas sized to state criteria.

Commissioners discussed minor clerical errors in the site-plan boilerplate language but identified no substantive obstacles. A commissioner moved to approve the site plan; several commissioners seconded, the chair called for the question, commissioners voiced "aye," and the motion was declared adopted and entered into the record.

Because the project relies on an on-site septic system rather than public sewer, commissioners asked staff to ensure final sewer design and state approvals are completed before any construction permits issue. The approval will allow project proponents to advance detailed design and state permitting steps.
