Planners review 239‑lot final plat for Phase 3; greenway easement and funding remain unresolved
Summary
Staff presented final plats for Phase 3 Sections 1–5 (239 single‑family lots). Engineering and legal staff said the greenway has not yet been designed, may require a 50‑foot easement and likely grant or TDOT coordination, and the city may seek a blanket easement over open space rather than later HOA negotiations.
Planning staff presented final plat requests for Phase 3 Sections 1–5 of a residential development south of West Albert Gallatin Road and east of Highway 109, covering five sections and totaling 239 single‑family lots ranging from 5,000 to 11,000 square feet.
Kimberly said the plat generally matches previous preliminary and final master plans. Engineering raised concerns about Section 1's multimodal elements and the greenway, noting the greenway has not been designed and there is uncertainty whether the dedicated easement width will be sufficient. Staff suggested the city might pursue a blanket easement across all open space rather than leaving future negotiations to a homeowners association; legal staff has been asked for an opinion.
Brad Snyder (applicant representative) said the developer will coordinate with city engineers to show easement language and resolve outstanding items before the voting meeting. Staff warned that construction of the full greenway may require external funding or a TDOT match and potentially NEPA or right‑of‑way procurement actions if federal or state funds are involved.
Next steps: Staff will follow up with legal and engineering to decide whether a blanket easement is appropriate and to confirm the greenway design or required funding mechanisms before the voting meeting.
