Loading...
Summary
The Anderson City Plan Commission approved a two-lot secondary plat for Scatterfield Commons on April 28, forwarding the plat to the Board of Public Works. The plat formalizes two lots (2.42 and 2.53 acres) for a 92-unit True Hotel and a planned 92-unit hotel and includes easement and sidewalk requirements.
The Anderson City Plan Commission approved petition 4-26 on April 28, 2026, a two-lot secondary plat for Scatterfield Commons that formalizes lot boundaries for two hotels along East 64th Street and forwarded the plat to the Board of Public Works for acceptance of plats, easements, covenants and dedications.
Why it matters: The plat clarifies access, easements and infrastructure obligations for commercial development east of South Scatterfield Road (State Road 109) adjacent to Interstate 69, including a 15-foot utility/drainage easement, a 10-foot sanitary easement, and a 70-foot-by-326-foot drainage easement that will affect future construction and stormwater management.
Staff presentation and recommendation Mr. Styers, speaking for staff, said the site is designated B-4 community shopping center under the comprehensive plan and described Lot 2 (2.42 acres) and Lot 3 (2.53 acres). He told the commission the True Hotel (92 units) is already on Lot 2 and Lot 3 is earmarked for a 92-unit hotel. "Staff wise, in conclusion, we are recommending approval of the 2 lot plat," Mr. Styers said.
Access and sidewalks The plat prohibits new driveways directly onto Interstate 69 along Lot 3’s north boundary, and requires perimeter utility and drainage easements. Mr. Styers noted the subdivision control ordinance requires five-foot sidewalks; he said sidewalks shown on construction plans should have been installed when the True Hotel was completed and will be installed on both hotels once the hotel on Lot 3 moves forward.
Engineer and technical details Local engineer Steve Serves of Serves Engineering and Surveying confirmed the petitioner wants to finalize the two lots and that the sidewalks shown on construction plans will be required. The plat also shows a 15-foot drainage/utility/communication easement and other sanitary and water easements between Lots 2 and 3, as well as the larger drainage easement that will govern stormwater conveyance.
Motion and next steps A commission member moved to approve petition 4-26 and to forward the plat to the Board of Public Works for acceptance of the plat, easements, covenants and dedications; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The transcript records multiple "yes" responses; specific vote tallies by member name are not stated in the transcript. The Board of Public Works will review the plat acceptance and related dedications as the next procedural step.
