Planning commission approves Hamilton Place Subdivision Phase 3 preliminary plat
Summary
The Olive Branch Planning Commission voted to approve a preliminary plat to create 19 detached single-family lots and two common open spaces on roughly 6.73 acres at 7295 Craft Road North, forwarding the recommendation to the Board of Aldermen with staff conditions.
The Olive Branch Planning Commission voted to approve a preliminary plat for Hamilton Place Subdivision Phase 3, a proposal to create 19 detached single-family lots and two common open spaces on about 6.73 acres at the northwest corner of Terry Chase Drive and Craft Road North (7295 Craft Road North).
Planning Department staff told the commission the site is zoned R-3 (planned residential district) and the proposed gross density is 2.82 developed units per acre, below the R-3 maximum of 4.8 units per acre. Staff highlighted that lots 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15 and 16 are sized to exceed the 12,000-square-foot minimum that the code requires for two-story homes and that front-, side- and rear-yard setbacks conform to the ordinance. “The proposed gross density is 2.82 developed units per acre which is below the maximum allowed density in our R-3 planned residential district,” planning staff said.
Staff also described existing utilities—an 8-inch gravity sewer within the proposed rights of way, a 2-inch water line, and a nearby gas line—and said post-construction stormwater discharge will be detained on Common Open Space 47 and must not exceed pre-construction rates, subject to engineering approval. Staff recommended approval to the Board of Aldermen subject to conditions that include submission of civil construction plans for grading, stormwater management, utilities and street construction to the city engineer and director of planning and development, and the construction of sidewalks along Cherry Chase Drive connecting to existing sidewalks on Craft Road North.
Lloyd Miller Jr., the property owner, represented the applicant in the meeting and said he lived at 2015 Gracie Drive in Hernando and offered to answer questions but had no substantive additions to staff’s presentation. The commission heard no public opposition during the nonpublic hearing plat review.
Mr. Jones moved to approve the preliminary plat and recommend approval to the Board of Aldermen subject to staff conditions; Mr. Long seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote with no opposition. The commission’s action is a recommendation that will be forwarded to the Board of Aldermen for final action.
