The Planning Commission approved a sketch plat to combine two residential lots at 2630 Lookout Mountain Road during its meeting. Staff recommended approval, saying the proposal meets the extraterritorial subdivision ordinance and Lawrence County A-1 zoning standards.
"Staff recommend approval of the sketch plot as presented," the staff presenter said, noting the property has an existing private septic and well system and existing access to Lookout Mountain Road. A commissioner moved to approve the sketch plat; the motion was seconded and the commission approved it by voice vote. The record shows no declared conflicts of interest on the item.
Staff explained that, if approved by the commission, the developer would next submit a minor plat application; the planning commission would make a recommendation and the city council would hold a public hearing for final determination. Staff also noted that because the application included exception requests to engineering design standards, administrative review would follow and an applicant could appeal a denial to city council.
