The applicant seeks zoning and plan approval to develop about 93 single-family lots with minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet and primary access from Dobbins Pike.

Engineers and staff raised repeated concerns about the adequacy of the secondary access on Hicks Lane, which is currently substandard and falls short of the 20-foot minimum width the city and fire code expect for emergency vehicle access. Engineering recommended either widening Hicks Lane to a minimum of 20 feet or providing an additional connection for fire-code access near lots 56 and 57. Staff also discussed possible access across adjacent school property to the south and noted a cell tower fall zone and stream buffers that the plan avoids.

Representatives for the applicant said they would work with engineering, but noted crossing a main gas transmission line limited some proposed internal connections. Commissioners emphasized that providing fire-safe access was the primary obstacle to approving the plan as currently drawn and asked staff to continue coordination with the applicant and Sumner County on any road improvements.

No formal vote occurred. The commission deferred final action pending engineering confirmation of compliant second access and resolution of easement or road-improvement needs.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Gallatin 2025-03-04","oneSentenceSummary","Applicant requested rezoning and preliminary master development plan for a 77-acre parcel annexed into Gallatin, proposing 93 single-family lots; staff and engineering raised concerns about fire-code-compliant secondary access and possible improvements required on Hicks Lane and connections to nearby parkland and school property.","taxTitle","Gallatin City , Sumner County, Tennessee","taxId",52803,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6297606,"Commission staff and applicant agree on Nichols Place Phase 4 changes; engineering to confirm Ferguson Boulevard extension",115,58000,173000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2509449-042711aa6e4a011d88c0837093d89b76&start=58&end=173","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2509449-042711aa6e4a011d88c0837093d89b76/thumbnail_58000.jpg","/articles/6297606/Gallatin-City/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Commission-staff-and-applicant-agree-on-Nichols-Place-Phase-4-changes-engineering-to-confirm-Ferguson-Boulevard-extension","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6297606-7f6ebd5ca143a6e9473c6270e5c9175d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139648&Signature=fr6KFaYjB3WebRSFqVrmLmXBT22P0yf4BCy1ZXl-HIOafPSVqNzT6Hwjz2WEAkNN6~MMJmgbDupg4-kpbHf5VbM1qQOI2xWslntP~w75WWkoDJi0ShcAehWj2JUYebFrRxjFWWVioEo4WKUu-v-Cw1IiNqmFCQdCy6ctc81vQjqH2POpNpJeo-M1DxiZwAojcxCdS98aIOtFCr7sG43t0fcani81y3m0JKX3IoGxgtkLoc0PztSYVztQlDnXjzcJw6OKqaltVvpQUZKseq4LH9jj2VxODqbs-SHRx7j0aE7WqzOn73d9xsA0KvtTdAQI2WNfHL-O-4pthHReCGiUEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brad Hickman, a staff planner, presented an amended preliminary master development plan and revised final master plan for Nichols Place Phase 4, a proposed 29-unit horizontal property regime on 5.62 acres zoned MRO (multiple residential and office) south of Nichols Lane and east of Ferguson Boulevard.

Hickman said the revised plan includes two more units versus the last submission but, compared with the currently approved final master plan, results in a net reduction of one unit and adds three parking places. Discussion at the work session focused on how far Ferguson Boulevard should be extended; engineering and the applicant agreed the road should be built “to the farthest extent practicable” now while reserving easements for future construction where needed.

Luke Talley of CSDG, representing the applicant, told commissioners the applicant had addressed staff comments and was prepared to work with engineering on the road connection. Commissioners had no further substantive comments and the item was set to return to a future meeting for final action once engineering details are resolved.

No formal vote or approval occurred at the work session. Engineering will confirm the design and any required easements for the Ferguson Boulevard extension before the item returns to the commission.","Planner and applicant described an amended preliminary master development plan for Nichols Place Phase 4 that reduces units slightly and adds parking and a proposed extension of Ferguson Boulevard; engineering and applicant said they will finalize details and easements for a future extension.","actionData","errors"]
