Commission approves minor resubdivision variance at 933 N. Campbell Station Road

The Farragut Planning Commission voted to grant a variance from the subdivision requirement to construct a pedestrian facility along the frontage of 933 North Campbell Station Road, finding the request proportionate to the minor nature of the resubdivision. Staff recommended approval with a plat note clarifying that the variance applies only to this minor subdivision and that any future division would require pedestrian improvements.

Applicant James Willis, who said he has lived at 931 North Campbell Station Road since 1988, said the division is a family transfer to give each house its own lot. Staff explained the legal standard of rough proportionality and why asking for nearly 500 feet of frontage improvements for a two‑lot split could raise legal and cost issues. The commission approved the variance contingent on the plat note, then approved the final plat subject to routine staff items and required signatures.
