Summary

Miss Durham updated the planning commission on recent approvals (Mid Tennessee Nursery commercial project, Bolton townhouse conversion, near-final plans for a redevelopment at 5th Avenue and Memorial Boulevard, and Wawa site plan under review) and previewed June items including a rezoning at 329 North Main Street and a building permit at 2077 Bessie Street.

At the May 7 meeting the Springfield Community Development Director, Miss Durham, updated the planning commission on recent approvals and items expected in coming agendas.

Durham said recent approvals include a commercial development for Mid Tennessee Nursery on 17th Avenue East and the Bolton property at 54 North Main Street, which includes six townhouse-style residential units. She said the site plan at 5th Avenue and Memorial Boulevard is nearing final approval with construction expected to begin shortly. The Wawa site plan, submitted late last month, is under review with minor changes from a previously approved plan; staff anticipates approval soon. Durham also said Dupton Motors has been authorized to begin operations at its new location with minor remaining site work.

For the June agenda, Durham said staff anticipates a rezoning request at 329 North Main Street and a building permit application at 2077 Bessie Street; she noted the building-permit case will be the first application under a recent amendment allowing nonconforming structures to be rebuilt in place. Staff also discussed a name change for a residential subdivision formerly called Highland Estates, now referred to as Spring Creek, and said planning is underway for training hours for commissioners.

Durham closed by asking commissioners for topics they would like covered in training and invited questions about any projects in the city.
