Key actions approved by the commission (motions and voice votes unless otherwise noted):

- Approval of minutes from the April 17 meeting. Motion carried by voice vote.

- Old Kentucky Stock Road waterline extension: The commission recommended approval of a mainline extension with two options for scope and cost. Staff described an option for a 460‑foot extension estimated at about $6,008 (approximately $7.26 per foot) plus a 10 percent financial guarantee; an alternate 50‑foot extension was estimated at about $2,220 plus 10 percent. Staff also described easement fees the city would pay if it had to acquire easements: roughly $4,000 for the longer alignment and about $1,300 for the shorter alignment; the property owner requesting the extension would be required to fund easement acquisition if the city is asked to secure them. The commission voted to recommend approval of the waterline extension with the staff caveat on which option council may approve.

- 794 Genesis Road sewer line extension: A developer seeking a multifamily development at 794 Genesis Road requested a sewer extension. Staff offered a cost estimate for the extension of $5,798.20 and said easements would likely be required because the low‑pressure line cannot fall within the TDOT right of way; if the city had to obtain easements staff estimated a city cost of about $3,442. The commission recommended approval of the mainline extension and staff said the developer had agreed to proceed with the funding estimate.

- Rutledge property setback variance: The commission approved a six‑foot variance that would reduce the setback for a proposed 10‑by‑30‑foot addition to an existing detached garage/workshop from 14 feet to 4 feet from the adjacent property line; staff said the nearest permanent structure (the restaurant on the adjoining parcel) would remain about 60 feet away and an existing ingress/egress easement limits building on the flagged area. Staff recommended approval; the motion carried.

- Garden Space financial guarantee (letter of credit): The commission approved releasing the current letter of credit for Garden Space ($8,985) and accepting a replacement that included a 10 percent increase, bringing the new amount to $9,883.50.

- Mark property annexation: Staff reported the applicant rescinded a request for sewer; staff recommended annexation from the rear rather than a corridor annexation to avoid creating a county island. The commission recommended annexation from the rear.

- Cooper property annexation: Staff recommended annexation from the rear as well and said the Cooper property did request sewer; a service line authorized by utilities had an easement from a rear property owner allowing the initial service; if the city later extended a mainline in front, the privately installed line could be retired and replaced by a city main. The commission recommended annexing from the rear and approved the staff recommendation.

All items above were advanced as recommendations to city council where applicable; council action is required for annexations and will be the final decision on corridor annexations or other ordinance‑level actions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Crossville - Planning Commission - May 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its meeting the Crossville Planning Commission approved minutes, recommended two annexation approaches, approved two utility‑extension requests, granted a setback variance and accepted a renewed letter of credit for Garden Space.","taxTitle","Crossville, Cumberland County, Tennessee","taxId",71189,"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},6570653,"Planning commission recommends corridor annexation for Halsted Drive property to address failing septic",362,940000,1302000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3327589-8cbe7ecba3f2b19712dd0802bb542fe5&start=940&end=1302","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3327589-8cbe7ecba3f2b19712dd0802bb542fe5/thumbnail_940000.jpg","/articles/6570653/Crossville/Cumberland-County/Tennessee/Planning-commission-recommends-corridor-annexation-for-Halsted-Drive-property-to-address-failing-septic","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570653-36c3b630855a22a710b8f44c4b7a0b58/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154919&Signature=DxwtjJt9TfHgzva2ZdYahZUdbaNV~izrX0EjQwMU0cliaafxY8ngljfBr6peBhqYquH~3nsL~51A2lei9cDKD~aliW-zQJszIhmwTnRiBjuv8Zw~jwGksveaIqWLp0wQXWvwrg8qxswXVeTm8lcBd8w1pXdlbW~LgVt7XojfPAQFVdQ6jR3fhW0U31-gS2W9E~ARTlkvkFwRAkMElGWQQAwFMSvfn0UECXIgpy3CJXZKiFjP1LaIb2yeOONNXvZCrd0ZAlfevwAFeYH55uTeUNSCXM7qpWZvqT96zTAmjX1vTiTur0164aDbiRsYU2YF5v1nULIGO~PJkn7FpvyO-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Crossville Planning Commission voted to recommend that staff proceed with a corridor annexation for a property on Halsted Drive after staff told commissioners the owner has requested sewer service because a septic system at a multifamily building is failing.

Staff explained that under recent guidance from MTAS (Municipal Technical Advisory Services) and state law the city must follow corridor‑annexation procedures to reach some properties; staff said the request would require annexing a portion of Halsted Drive to connect the owner’s parcel to city utilities. Staff told commissioners the owner had been presented a cost estimate for the sewer extension and had indicated willingness to proceed under the estimated terms.

The planning commission discussed options including proceeding with the corridor annexation, notifying adjacent property owners by mail to see if there is broader interest to avoid a corridor, or recommending no annexation at this time. Staff noted state law requires mailings to property owners within 200 feet when an annexation is proposed for public hearing; the city would do that as part of the process.

Commissioners approved a motion recommending staff proceed with corridor annexation to enable sewer service for the site; staff emphasized that any utility extension costs associated with annexation and service for a multifamily property would be the responsibility of the property owner unless otherwise agreed. Staff also described two route options for the sewer extension near Halsted Drive and said engineering prefers crossing and running the line up the opposite side of the road where practicable because of rock and trenching conditions. If the corridor annexation proceeds, the matter would move to council for resolution and public notice steps.

Staff said they would notify the applicant and follow the annexation mailing and hearing schedule required by state law and city practice.","The Crossville Planning Commission recommended that staff move forward with a corridor annexation request for a Halsted Drive property that is seeking sewer service after a failing septic system; staff said the property owner is willing to pay utility‑extension costs and the city must mail required notices under state law.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6570656,"Planning commission rejects abutment for Tenth Street failed subdivision after six‑figure cost estimate",724,1720000,2444000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3327589-8cbe7ecba3f2b19712dd0802bb542fe5&start=1720&end=2444","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3327589-8cbe7ecba3f2b19712dd0802bb542fe5/thumbnail_1720000.jpg","/articles/6570656/Crossville/Cumberland-County/Tennessee/Planning-commission-rejects-abutment-for-Tenth-Street-failed-subdivision-after-sixfigure-cost-estimate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570656-8bf18932ac6aed6610f06794bafbebe7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154919&Signature=cpsWjVPDparUPZJHR20z~WaxpUhzABIiZyz3VIwBPxMdJjrGSLQnpPnqRAHxfXFdse5tuSzPMMyWveEtJj8spFrtJUmzGaNDBV1mtyQcF~itzniBflP7JWbD-PXpQ9oGl6cWy-8HxFL5d5dT3ZJzYvFuxN3T4A0QIBhLgiwUlPit6rad-GliviT-szMpit5PqoIpC0dXbD-qCruzdYS-dcORg~2Bseo5JAlsz44XpUTlvcSpVj7kjbm81AGTSkRQRgWUmq7Or9IZgbjGOBrsKTixyhBNPQXXqlJFA27tL13PHhOmZoljbL4LiFg5J0NZCYpDjYwQynMG4Z27CoKCLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a meeting of the Crossville Planning Commission, commissioners voted to decline pursuing an abutment project that would extend roads, water and sewer to an unimproved section of Tenth Street and adjoining Ninth Street.

Staff told the commission the full project—roads, water and sewer and optional sidewalks—was estimated at about $758,025.38. Under the city’s typical cost‑share example (property owners responsible for 75 percent, the city 25 percent), staff calculated the property‑owner share at roughly $568,005.19. Staff gave an example lot whose assessed land value represented about 8.18 percent of the participating area; that one parcel’s share would be about $46,515.19. Spread over five years, staff said, that parcel’s annual assessment would be roughly $9,303; over 10 years, roughly $4,651.52.

Staff recommended not moving forward with the abutment because the per‑parcel costs would be especially large given the small number of likely participants. Commissioners debated alternative approaches—asking a developer to build roads and utilities to meet city standards, pursuing narrower utility extensions, or seeking other access arrangements—but agreed the full abutment process would be lengthy and expensive.

The commission voted to recommend that staff not initiate the abutment process for the Tenth Street area at this time and to instead work with the property owner or prospective developer on alternative options (for example, developer‑funded roads and utilities or targeted service extensions that address fire‑truck access and turnaround needs). Staff told commissioners the next steps would be to discuss alternatives and, if the property owner still wanted to pursue abutment, the owner could take the matter to the city council; council retains final authority.

Staff also noted procedural requirements should the commission and council pursue abutment: council would need to pass a resolution to begin the abutment process; the city would then mail letters to property owners, hold a public hearing and, if approved, put the project out to bid. Several commissioners emphasized public‑safety and access concerns (fire‑truck access, school bus turnarounds) would have to be resolved with any narrower alternative.

The commission’s action was procedural (a recommendation to not start the abutment). Staff said it would follow up with the developer and property owners to explore alternatives and bring any revised proposals back to the commission or to council as required.","Crossville Planning Commission voted to decline a staff proposal to pursue an abutment (road, water and sewer) for a failed subdivision on Tenth Street after staff showed an estimated project cost of about $758,000 and large per‑parcel shares for property owners.","actionData","errors"]
