Planning commission grants preliminary and final plat approval for The Reserve Phase 2 on East Morris Boulevard
Summary
The commission approved preliminary and final plat (MASD-3025) for The Reserve Phase 2, a mixed-use subdivision with 5 acres of commercial frontage and 6.5 acres of multi-family townhomes; Lot 2 already has 32 townhome units with Certificates of Occupancy. Street dedication to the city will follow completion and submission of as‑built plans.
The Morristown Regional Planning Commission voted unanimously to grant preliminary and final plat approval for The Reserve Phase 2, a mixed-use subdivision along East Morris Boulevard adjacent to a FedEx site.
Senior Planner Lori Matthews presented the request (MASD-3025) on behalf of the applicant and said the project would include about 5 acres of commercial frontage along East Morris Boulevard and roughly 6.5 acres of multi-family townhome units behind the commercial lots. She told the commission that construction is already underway and Lot 2 has received Certificates of Occupancy for a total of 32 two-story townhome units. Staff recommended approval of the subdivision plat, contingent on the owner’s engineer and surveyor making minor corrections to the plat documents.
Vice‑Chairman Jack Kennerly moved to approve the preliminary and final plat; Commissioner John Wallace seconded. The motion carried on a 9-0 vote. During discussion, Ms. Matthews said the interior street will be dedicated to the City after construction is fully complete and the city receives required as‑built plans: “When it is completely finished and as‑builts are received, the road will be sent to City Council,” she said.
The approval acknowledges the developer’s change from private streets to public street access from East Morris Boulevard into the development; the existing internal drives, Pheasant Creek and Whitetail Pass, have been built to city street standards and will be shown as dedicated and accepted by the City on the recorded subdivision plat. Staff noted only minor plat revisions remain to be corrected by the owner’s engineer and surveyor before final recordation.
With that action taken and no further business on the agenda, the commission adjourned.
