Grading for West Mill subdivision gets FMPC approval
Shaad Company received Farragut Municipal Planning Commission approval, during its March 16 meeting, for a land disturbance and grading plan for property where Shaad Company intends to develop West Mill subdivision, formerly Westerly subdivision, adjacent to Fox Den subdivision.
Developers are planning to place a subdivision and commercial structures on the 14.5-acre property, located north of the intersection of Kingston Pike and Old Stage Road.
“This property is to the west and to the north of Dollar General Store,” Town Community Development director Mark Shipley said. “It is divided into a commercial portion that’s along Kingston Pike — and that’s roughly 5.5 acres — and then residential property (zoned R-2) that backs up to Fox Den, and that’s 8.7 acres.”
In Oct. 2023, FMPC decided the firm should go back to the drawing board with its preliminary plat after hearing from numerous Fox Den residents who objected to the firm’s placing an access road on Champions Point.
“The property does have two different access options: one was on Champions Point, which is in Fox Den, and then (the other is) Kingston Pike,” Shipley said.
“So, when the preliminary plat was up for a vote in October Planning Commission meeting, it was denied because of the access onto Champions Point … was deemed it would not be a good connection because it wasn’t designed on the front end for that kind of tie-in,” he added.
