Summary
The commission reviewed an informational sketch plat for the Overholt subdivision to create seven lots on Yellow Creek Road; staff noted sketch plats do not vest development rights and no action was taken.
The Dickson County Planning Commission considered a sketch plat for the Overholt subdivision, a proposed seven-lot division of roughly 21.5 acres on Yellow Creek Road, as an informational item. No vote was required.
County staff explained the filing was a sketch plat rather than a preliminary plat. As counsel and staff noted, a sketch plat is used for commission comment and does not confer development rights or vest regulations; a preliminary plat and then a final plat would be required for approval and vesting. Staff encouraged applicants to seek feedback before investing resources in a full preliminary plat.
What was presented: The survey and sketch were prepared by Aylor and Associates, according to staff remarks, and the commission offered general commentary on access and lot-servicing arrangements, including the county regulation that ordinarily allows only one lot to be served by an easement to a public road unless upgrades are made to county road standards.
Next steps: The sketch plat was accepted for discussion and the applicant was advised of the process for preliminary and final plats; no formal action or approval was taken at this meeting.
