Commissioners approve Triune Community East Mixed Use Development plan

During the Williamson County Planning Commission meeting on February 13, 2025, significant discussions centered around community concerns regarding nontraditional septic systems and a new mixed-use development proposal.

James Harney, a resident of the Triune area, raised critical questions about the performance of nontraditional septic systems in the county. He inquired whether the county had conducted surveys to track failures of these systems over the past six to seven years and how many are currently under state review. Harney expressed concerns about the maintenance and certification of these systems, highlighting the potential risks and liabilities homeowners face once builders complete their projects. While the commission could not provide immediate answers, Harney's inquiry underscored the need for ongoing monitoring and accountability regarding septic system management in Williamson County.

Following this discussion, the commission moved on to review a concept plan for the Triune Community East Mixed Use Development. This proposal includes 61 single-family lots and 62 multifamily lots spread across 63.78 acres, located off Wharton Highway and Murfreesboro Road. The staff presented aerial photography of the site to facilitate the review process.

The meeting concluded with the commission approving the motion related to item number 39, indicating a collaborative approach to addressing community concerns while advancing development plans. As Williamson County continues to grow, the outcomes of these discussions will play a crucial role in shaping the community's infrastructure and residential landscape.
