Wilson County planning commission votes 8-1 to settle Century Communities lawsuit, approves one-year Parkside sketch plat
Summary
After private consultation with the county attorney, the Wilson County Planning Commission voted 8-1 to settle Century Communities of Tennessee's lawsuit by approving a sketch plat for Parkside that carries a one-year term from the settlement agreement.
The Wilson County Planning Commission voted March 20 to approve a resolution settling Century Communities of Tennessee's lawsuit against the county and to authorize a one-year sketch plat for the Parkside development.
County Attorney Mike Jennings reviewed the pending litigation and presented a proposed resolution to the commission during a private session. After returning to open session, Commissioner Weathers moved to approve the resolution; Chairman Jones seconded. The motion passed with eight votes in favor and one opposed (Renfro), recorded as an 8-1 approval.
The resolution, as stated in the meeting minutes, settles the lawsuit on denial by approving the Parkside sketch plat with a one-year period that begins at the agreement of settlement. The commission’s action follows the attorney’s review and an executive session to discuss litigation strategy.
Renfro was the lone dissenting vote on the final approval. The minutes do not provide further details about settlement terms beyond the sketch plat approval and the one-year timeframe. No direct public comment on the settlement was recorded in the minutes.
The commission adjourned after directing staff recommendations to be attached to the minutes. The settlement and sketch plat approval will proceed according to the terms described in the resolution and subject to any follow-up steps required in the settlement agreement.
