Planning Commission recommends approval of 30‑unit Decker Duplex site plan with contingencies
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a 30-unit duplex development on Old Mill Road, contingent on TDEC approval, city engineering sign-off, required stormwater permits and a financial guarantee; commissioners said final approvals will proceed through council and engineering review.
The Crossville Planning Commission voted to recommend the Decker Duplex site plan to City Council with multiple contingencies, the city planner said during the meeting. The project proposes 30 housing units on Old Mill Road, a private sewer connection with a centralized pump station and extension of a 6-inch public water line to support the development.
City Planner note: "The developer is proposing a duplex housing development on Old Mill Road. The development consists of 30 housing units, bridal drive, private sewer, and extension of the public water line," the City Planner said while presenting the site plan.
Key conditions: staff recommended approval only if the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) and city engineering approve the sewer and water plans, stormwater permits are obtained, and a financial guarantee is provided. Commissioners discussed whether to approve contingent on engineering determining the final guarantee amount; a motion approving the site plan subject to engineering, stormwater permits, TDEC and the provision of the financial guarantee carried by voice vote.
Infrastructure and sequencing: the planner described relocating an existing fire hydrant and extending the water line to connect to Harding Street, and said the proposed sanitary system would collect gravity flows to a centralized pump station and then pump to the city connection. The planner stated the city’s hydrant flow and pressure in the area initially did not support adding a new hydrant without making the new connection.
Next steps: the commission’s recommendation includes conditions that engineering determine final guarantees and that council will review any required abandonments or final plats. The planner said the item will come back to the appropriate bodies for final approval once those conditions are met.
