The Blount County Planning Commission approved a site plan for a 405-square-foot addition to Eagle Rock Camp, 7143 Flats Road, at its Jan. 4 meeting.
Staff told the commission the project is a small addition providing additional assembly, storage and kitchen space and that because the camp is an existing nonconforming use that predates the zoning ordinance, the addition required planning-commission approval rather than administrative approval.
Commissioner Hannah moved to approve the site plan with conditions; Commissioner Hodge seconded. Commissioner Giles asked for clarification about the nature of the camp, asking, "Is it like a religious camp?" Staff responded that it is. After a brief exchange the motion passed; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally.
The packet included the site plan and a short explanation that the addition lies within the first 500 feet from the right of way as illustrated on the attached plan. Conditions of approval were not elaborated in the spoken record beyond the standard conditioned-approval language used by the chair.
