PLANNING COMMISSION VOTES AGAINST 158-HOME SUBDIVISION ON LONG HOLLOW PIKE
GALLATIN NEWS - The development, which could still be approved by the Gallatin City Council, is proposed to be built on 57.5 acres located next to the Carellton subdivision near Black Thorn Lane and Big Station Camp Boulevard. “I know this property is going to develop eventually, but how it develops is the question,” Gallatin Planning Commission Chairman John Puryear said about the subdivision plans. “I do like the fact that they have clustered everything and have a lot of open space… but my concerns all along were with the size of those interior lots. According to plans submitted to the city’s planning department, developers have requested a variance to allow for a minimum lot size of 3,500 square feet.

MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT ON GREENLEA BOULEVARD GETS INITIAL APPROVAL
GALLATIN NEWS - As part of their decision, council members also voted not to allow certificates of occupancy to be issued for the final half of the planned 25 apartment buildings until the 128-room hotel is completed.
“They ought to be able to start them simultaneously,” District 3 Councilman Jimmy Overton said about construction of the residential and commercial portions of the development. “I understand what we’re trying to accomplish, and I agree 100 percent with you. We need to be sure the retail gets put there, but I don’t think you should tie the developer’s hands… and say they can’t start any residential until you get this hotel completed.”
In addition to the new apartments, plans for Chandler Marketplace include six retail buildings, three restaurants and two office buildings totaling a combined 118,900 square feet of space. There would also be a convenience store with gas pumps on Harris Lane.
