Planning commission removes expired utility easement from Milard property after utilities confirm none
Summary
After the Building Official received emailed confirmations from TVA and Fort Loudon Utilities stating there was no easement on the existing plat, the Friendsville Planning Commission accepted a new survey and Chairman Jason Martin signed a new plat removing the expired utility easement for Jackson Milard's property.
During its April 20, 2026 meeting, the City of Friendsville Planning Commission processed a request from property owner Jackson Milard to remove an expired utility easement from his plat. The Building Official reported he had been emailed documentation from TVA and Fort Loudon Utilities "confirming no easement as outlined on the existing plat." Chairman Jason Martin signed a new plat for the commission in the absence of Secretary Dale Wilkins.
Milard presented a new survey showing the easement no longer existed; staff documentation from TVA and Fort Loudon Utilities supported that conclusion. The minutes record no separate motion or vote for this action; the procedural record shows the chairman executed the plat on behalf of the commission after review of the utility confirmations.
