Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

Painturos.

Painturos. Painturos. I'm not in the office. Come in and see Christy in person. Yeah, it's kind of what I thought, Mr. Chairman. One day it was one after another. It was like, hey, I've seen Tay. Occasionally. It's all about exercising and having a good time. Cheers to golf over here.

exactly i don't mind dropping in restarting 15 days or whatever Call the meeting to order. Are there any public comments at this time? If there are none, any changes to the agenda?

No changes.

All right. New business, item number one.

Number one is a request by four star for preliminary plot approval for Chandler Grove. Phase 1A, 1B, and 2A, an 11 lot subdivision, about 33.7 acres at 1850 Franklin Road and 1255 Barton's Creek Road. It's owned RM6 and Commercial Office Medical in the South Harbor overlay in Ward 3. And Steph has no remaining comments.

All right. Good. Number two.

New business item number two is a request by Jack Bell Builders for preliminary plot approval for Hamilton Springs, a 161-lot subdivision on about 111.06 acres at 3075 Lebanon Road, zoned Hamilton Springs, specific plan, and RS-20 with Hamilton Springs PUD overlay in wards five and six. Since your packets were written, they have updated their plans to address all comments, and staff has no remaining comments, so they are now eligible for consent.

Good to see it. Rick Bell, Mayor.

I'll be back next week, too. But I just want to let everybody know that I no longer own Hamilton Springs. So any part of it. So I just want to make sure everybody knows that. Thank you.

Thank you.

New business item number three is a request by Fairview Baptist Church for final plan approval for resubdivision of a portion of the Fairview Baptist Church property. A three lot subdivision on about 0.86 acres at 610 and 614 West Hill Drive extension. It's zoned RS 20 in the South Hartman overlay in ward four. There was one minor note correction as needed.

minor, therefore eligible for consent. All right. We're on a roll.

New business items number four and five are requests by Adam Garner for future land use plan amendment approval from residential two units per acre to suburban commercial and county rezoning approval from A1 to C1 for about 2.11 acres at 1835 Keynesville Road. It's in the urban growth boundary. The properties to the north are zoned A1, C1, and C3 in the county. To the east and south, they're zoned A1 in the county. And to the west is A1 in the county and RD9 and planned business industrial park in the city. The properties to the northeast and south are indicated as residential two units per acre, and to the west as residential two units per acre, residential four units per acre, and light industrial on the future land use plan. This property is indicated as residential two units per acre on the future land use plan, which would not support this rezoning request. However, the requested future land use designation of suburban commercial would support this request. The site was permitted as residential but has begun to be used as commercial. This rezoning request is to avoid enforcement action by the county. This commercial use would require connection to sanitary sewer and for that it would need to be annexed into the city. Staff opposes this request because it will require sewer access and it is not within the city limits and does not follow the future land use plan. Any new commercial near city limits should be annexed if approved. The rezoning is a recommendation to the county commission and the future land use plan amendment is a recommendation to city council. The expected city council readings for this and the subsequent ordinance are as follows. First reading and public hearing are July 7th and second reading is July 21st.

Do you want to speak to this? Okay. Questions? Concerns?

I agree with staff.

All right, on the agenda. Six and seven.

New business items number six and seven are a request by James Westmoreland for future land use plan amendment approval from Rural Preservation Open Space to Interchange Commercial and rezoning approval from A1 to C2 for about 7.02 acres at 65 and 85 Rutledge Lane. It's in the urban growth boundary. The properties to the north are zoned A1 in the county and RS-20 in the city, and to the east, south, and west, they're all zoned A1 in the county. The properties to the north and east are indicated as rural preservation open space, to the west as residential two units per acre and rural preservation open space, and to the south as rural preservation open space and mixed housing on the future land use plan. This property is indicated as a rural preservation open space on the future land use plan, which would not support this rezoning request. However, the requested future land use designation of interchange commercial would support this request. The proposed use of the site is a garden center. This commercial use may require connection to sanitary sewer and for that it would need to be annexed into the city. Staff opposes this request because it will require sewer access and is not within the city limits and does not follow the future land use plan. Any new commercial near city limits should be annexed if approved. If a positive recommendation is given, staff recommends revising the future land use plan amendment from interchange commercial to suburban commercial as it would be more suitable for this location. If annexation of these properties is requested, a zoning of suburban commercial would be appropriate. The rezoning is a recommendation to county commission and the future land use plan amendment is a recommendation city council.

I'm Senator Puckett with Puckett Supply Co. I'm the applicant on behalf of Mr. James Westmoreland. We're seeking to purchase the property in order for our landscape supply store to have a permanent home. We've kind of bounced around Lebanon a little bit and this would be a great opportunity. We've had quite a bit of positive feedback from the neighboring properties that they would like to see us there and kind of preserve that seven acres, keeping it looking nice and providing a place for families to go to. I have a small page that we've kind of put together that describes our business and the use that we would be using it for. Would you guys like to see that?

Well, certainly, but the issue is not your business. The issue is annexation and sewer.

So the way we operate our business so far, we haven't needed to be connected to sewer for...

But that's not up to you.

Yes, sir. Do you guys have any other questions for me or any statements that might help our situation?

I think to help your situation, I would request annexation.

Okay. What would be the reasoning for that? connection to the sewer staff and if we do not request annexation what are we looking like going forward because we would like to remain county land we'll just deal with it yes sir probably potentially hypothetically in line with the recommendation of the of the staff so one more question i had for you guys is we applied for interchange commercial but really we're seeking whatever will support our business and so the note on there to modify the application to suburban commercial is fine with us as long as it supports the c2 rezoning through the county so whatever we need to do there relatively minor compared to the sewer and the annexation okay all right all right questions or thoughts can you leave your exhibits with the with the staff absolutely yeah yes sir

All right.

I represent Mr. Westmoreland. I'm a realtor, Todd Elliott, and just want to vouch for the Pucketts. They're operating about a half a mile down the road currently, and you've probably seen their place. It's a really nice place and do feel like it would be. I know there are a lot of hurdles that we have to cross, but would appreciate the opportunity to do that. Great, great family. Thank you.

All right, on the agenda. And that completes the agenda. Are there any staff comments? No comments. And we are adjourned.

be careful oh yeah i'd love to
