The Cookeville Planning Commission has approved the preliminary plat for a new twelve-lot subdivision on South Maple Avenue.
Community Development Director Jon Ward said the development will have eleven townhome units on about three-quarters of an acre. Ward said the developer will have to work with an engineer to get its plans in place before meeting with the city again.
“Our next step would be a site plan review and pre-construction meeting of the development where it really gets in more specifically into topography, stormwater, the utilities, things like that that will be built to serve this development,” Ward said.
Ward said a preliminary plat gives the developer twelve months to move forward with the project. Ward said the site plan review and pre-construction meeting will bring all the city’s departments together to review the engineering package.
“It is just north of the interstate,” Ward said. “So it is north of the school that’s under construction out there as well, just south of the Heritage Assisted Living facility there. Just below the triangle, just south of the triangle.”
Ward said the planning commission also approved the final plat of Lone Oak Townhomes, a fifteen-lot site in development since 2021. Ward said commissioners approved the final plat for Highland Residential Services’ latest development, Redbud Village, as well.
“We had a right-of-way dedication plat for the street that’s been constructed with the Putnam County Fairgrounds,” Ward said. “A portion of that street’s going to be a city street, so they submitted a plat for right-of-way dedication for the city to accept that as a street.”
