Commission approves Rachel Court preliminary plat, staff flags open sewer-connection detail

The Clarksville Planning Commission on March 4 approved a preliminary subdivision plat for Rachel Court, a proposal for lots at 215 Potters Lane, but staff said the exact sanitary sewer connection remains unresolved.

Staff member S3 told the commission that the property was annexed into town about two weeks ago and "they meet every criteria that the town has, with the exception of 1," pointing to the checklist item on sewer connections and noting, "Because this just got annexed, there is no we don't know exactly where the sewers are going to connect through." Applicant Clayton Travis Baylor, a professional line surveyor with Cash Wagner and Associates, said he performed a topographic survey and "I did locate all the utilities so I can add the, or show where it is if needed." The commission approved the preliminary plat and, as reported by the chair, the matter will return to the planning commission on April 1 for final plat approval.

The approval at the hearing was procedural: staff described zoning and annexation status (the parcel came in as R2), confirmed the plat otherwise met checklist requirements, and noted the outstanding utility-connection detail will be addressed before final plat recording. S3 said the town is coordinating with Clarksville Wastewater to determine the connection point. The chair reported the vote as 6 to 1 in favor; the commission did not read individual roll-call votes on the record during the transcript excerpt provided.
