Board approves Millennia cottages final plan; developers pledge to restore Twitty City mansion and wall

HENDERSONVILLE — The Hendersonville Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted 12–1 on Feb. 10 to approve resolution 2026-01, the final development plan for the TBM Music City Millennia cottages at 645 East Main Street (the Twitty City site).

Representatives for the applicant described the project as cottages with associated community space and management offices located in the restored Twitty mansion. Frank Amedia, speaking for the development team, said, "We're retaining the whole wall, and we're refurbishing the wall." The developers said they will complete restoration work on the mansion and repair the damaged wall; their civil engineer, Mark Boyd of Kimley-Horn, said the wall repair is part of the construction plan and will be implemented during project construction.

Staff told the board the cottages now meet required parking standards and no parking waivers are needed for the cottages portion of the plan. Aldermen asked about traffic and sight-lines on Main Street and Caudill, pedestrian connectivity and whether off-site improvements were required. Planning staff said preliminary development (rezoning) had been approved previously and that the final development plan refines access and site details; future site-plan and building-permit reviews remain required before construction begins.

Board members pressed for estimates on restoration costs. The developer estimated the wall restoration at roughly $60,000–$80,000 and said the total overall project cost is around $115,000,000. The board also discussed adjacent uses, preserving trees and pedestrian access; staff said sidewalk improvements along Caudill will connect to nearby church property and that some access will remain for maintenance and deliveries.

The resolution passed 12–1. Alderman Garton recorded the lone no vote.
