Sevierville commission approves subdivision and STR PUD, denies two site plans
Summary
At its March 5 meeting the Planning Commission denied a PUD for a Caton Road condominium and a Dolly Parton Parkway warehouse application, and approved an 18‑unit short‑term rental PUD at 619 Lewelling Rd. and a final plat for the Lodges at Smith Creek Reserve; members also approved moving the April meeting to April 7 and noted a 50‑acre Red Bank site plan under review.
The Sevierville Regional Planning Commission on March 5 denied two development applications and approved several others as part of a routine agenda that included staff reports on upcoming reviews.
Old business: the Commission denied a planned unit development from Welroc Enterprises for a condominium development on Caton Road after members voiced concerns about proposed property‑line abandonment, split zoning implications and the fact that staff had not completed review of a last‑minute revision. Daryl Roberts moved to deny; Douglas Messer seconded and the vote was unanimous.
Also in old business, a warehouse proposal submitted by Jeff Whaley for property on Dolly Parton Parkway was denied after staff reported no contact or corrections from the applicant; Butch Stott moved to deny and the motion passed unanimously.
New business approvals included a preliminary PUD from Ascent Engineering & Surveying for an 18‑unit short‑term rental development at 619 Lewelling Rd. Staff said the parcel was recently annexed and zoned High‑Density Residential and noted minor outstanding items (landscaping, fire hydrant location, utilities). The Commission approved the request subject to addressing those items.
The Commission also approved a final subdivision plat for the Lodges at Smith Creek Reserve (Lot 15R), returning three previously combined parcels to separate buildable cabin lots using existing right‑of‑way. Butch Stott made the motion; Wayne Helton seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
In staff reports, the board confirmed the April meeting date change to April 7, and staff said an application for a site plan covering roughly the front 50 acres of the Red Bank property has been submitted and is under review. Members discussed continuing to meet in the current room for better visibility and the use of city‑issued email addresses for board correspondence.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:51 PM.
