The Livingston Planning Commission met last week to discuss business concerning rezoning and subdividing property around the city in the hopes to recruit a new business.

The commission voted to approve a subdivision of property located on N. Church St., Bradford Hicks Drive and John T. Poindexter Drive.

The subdivision plan belongs to Byrdstown Investments and will divide the 3.06-acre property into four proposed new lots.

Lot one will consist of 1.51 acres with an existing structure, lot two will be .49 acre and is currently vacant, lot three will consist of .50 acre and is currently vacant, and lot four will be .56 acre and is also currently vacant.

Proposed new lots will be zoned to I1–light industrial and are served by a two-inch waterline, an eight-inch sewer line and comply with all other subdivision regulations and zoning ordinance requirements.

Lot one will require a gravel driveway to create access to Bradford-Hicks Drive and John T. Poindexter Drive.

Next on the agenda was a request for a new structure at 740 Hi-Tech Drive.

The plan belongs to the Tennessee College for Applied Technology and the structure would be a 1,000 square foot accessory building located on the TCAT campus. The commission voted in favor of approving the new structure.

The commission then moved to the next item on its agenda, which was a rezoning request for property located on Golf Lane.

The request was for the property to be moved from R1, low density residential, to R2, high density residential.

Nobody attended to represent the rezoning request so the committee voted to table discussion until its next meeting.

The last item of business for the planning committee was local business owner Randall Norris’ requesting rezone property located at 7283 Bradford Hicks Drive from C1–commercial to I1–industrial or I2- industrial.

Mayor Curtis Hayes spoke to the committee on behalf of Norris.

“The city of Livingston has proposed to settle a piece of property out on city industrial park,” Hayes said. “This is trying to get a small portion of this company to come toward Livingston…I’m here representing that small prospect company…That’s all the questions, I can’t relay any names at this time.”

The commission voted to make a recommendation to rezone the property to the mayor and board of aldermen.
