The City of Gallatin held a meeting on May 20, 2025, where various agenda items were discussed, including public comments and resolutions regarding local developments.

The meeting began with a public comment session, where Barry Gray, a resident of Foxland Harbor and an original investor in the Fairview and Foxland developments, expressed concerns about the current plans for the marina. Gray highlighted that the original proposal indicated a private marina, which has since changed. He emphasized the impact on local children, particularly those involved in bass fishing clubs at nearby high schools, who rely on the Douglas Bend ramp for their activities. Gray urged the commissioners to consider the needs of families who may not have the same resources as others in the community.

Following the public comments, the meeting moved to the consent agenda, which included the first eleven items on the agenda. A motion was made to approve the consent agenda, with some commissioners recusing themselves from specific items due to potential conflicts of interest. The motion passed unanimously.

The meeting then progressed to item twelve, which involved a resolution for a site plan approval for a 780-square-foot detached garage at 149 Oaks Drive. Staff planner Brad Hickman presented the details of the request, noting that the structure would feature alternative architecture on a 0.34-acre lot zoned for medium-density residential use.

The meeting continued with further discussions and resolutions, reflecting the city's ongoing development and community engagement efforts. The commissioners are expected to consider the implications of the marina plans and the proposed garage structure in their future decisions.
