Commission hears zoning requests for Rossview/Kirkwood convenience store and a proposed dental office in Sango area
Summary
Planning staff recommended disapproval of a 2.18‑acre rezoning for a convenience store at Rossview and Kirkwood (CZ42026) citing infrastructure and plan inconsistency; a separate 3‑acre request to rezone for a stand‑alone dental office (CZ072026) drew support from the buyer’s agent and the dentist.
The Montgomery County Commission opened public hearings July 6 on multiple zoning requests, including two contested rezoning proposals.
Planning staff presented CZ42026, a request to rezone about 2.18 acres at the Rossview Road and Kirkwood Road intersection from agricultural (AG) to general commercial (C2) for a proposed convenience store. Staff said there is no gravity sewer available and that a force‑main extension would be required; TDOT and the county highway supervisor must review any access changes. The planning commission staff recommended disapproval, saying the request is not consistent with the Clarksville‑Montgomery County comprehensive plan. The school district cautioned that commercial development near the Kirkwood campus would increase vehicle congestion and that turn lanes and other mitigations would be needed.
Bill Beach, who identified himself as owner of Beach Oil Company and said he has the property under contract, spoke in support of CZ42026, saying a convenience store at that intersection would serve the neighborhood and could reduce trips down to Exit 8 for fuel.
In a separate hearing, staff presented CZ072026, a request to rezone roughly 3 acres from R1 to C5 to allow construction of a stand‑alone dental office along SR‑41A in the Sango planning area. Staff recommended disapproval for inconsistency with the comprehensive plan, while the planning commission recommended approval. Hannah Price, the real‑estate agent on the transaction, said the buyers are a local family and argued the new building would provide space for business expansion and jobs. Dr. Danny Grama, identified as a dentist, described his desire to expand services and staff and said the rezoning would allow a permanent office designed to complement Madison Street’s architecture.
No final votes were taken on either case during the meeting; both matters remain under consideration with future action to follow per the commission’s procedures.
