1:43

We have zero O business this evening.

1:46

And Nathan Grimes will be attending, but first we're gonna have to do that.

2:05

Neil give us the report this way, he can hit all the highlights you could fill in the blanks.

2:11

This is SD 25003 for 133 West Montgomery and 810 Sprague.

2:18

That is one property.

2:23

A second home was built on that site.

2:25

Have her turn your mic up.

2:27

Or it's my ears.

2:28

I don't know which.

2:28

I can just lean close if I need to.

2:30

Um a second home was built on that property, uh, but at no point when it was being built or in the 60 years since had anyone divided that property.

2:39

So they are simply looking to divide that lot in half so that each home, which is already addressed, uh both of them are already addressed, uh, will be their own separate lot, essentially.

2:50

So with this is a pretty straightforward property line addition, making two lots out of one.

2:56

Um they meet every criteria uh of our subdivision ordinance.

3:00

Uh it's either they either meet it or it's not applicable.

3:03

Uh if you look on the third page, you can see they're essentially just splitting this large lot into two equally sized squares more or less.

3:12

Um they are about 80 by 82, so they're not quite squares, but they're very, very close.

3:18

Uh and this is on Montgomery.

3:21

Uh if you look here, this is at Sprague, Montgomery and Lions.

3:25

Uh you can see there's two houses and a garage and a shed, and they're all just on one big parcel.

Summary of Proceedings

Clarksville Planning Commission - December 3, 2025

The Clarksville Planning Commission met on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. and adjourned at 7:13 p.m. Commissioners Stimley, Fisher, Sloan, Boiner, and Munich were present; Commissioners Rayborn and Smith were absent. There was no old business on the docket, and both docket items were approved unanimously.

Consent Calendar

  • The minutes of the November 5, 2025, regular session were approved as presented by a motion from Commissioner Fisher, seconded by Vice President Munich.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No members of the audience offered comments for or against either application.

Discussion Items

  • SD 25003 - Final plat for 133 West Montgomery and 810 Sprague: Staff reported that a second home had been built on the property, but the lot had never been divided in the 60 years since. The applicant proposed splitting the parcel into two roughly 80-by-82-foot lots so each existing home would have its own lot. Staff confirmed that all subdivision ordinance criteria were either met or not applicable, no variances were needed, and the existing garage would satisfy the required setback.
  • DP 25003 - Contractor flex space at 1805 Independence Court: The applicant requested approval for a development plan on an approximately 1.5-acre vacant lot. The proposal creates nine leased contractor tenant spaces, each with an office and bathroom, and seven driveways along Independence Court. Staff reported the use is permitted in the B-2 zone, had been discussed at the October Technical Review Committee, and is consistent with the comprehensive plan's economy objective to diversify beyond in-person retail. Staff considered a negative effect on property values unlikely and did not recommend any conditions. Signage would require a separate permit.
  • Applicant presentation: Jason Copperweight of Paul Primevere and Associates, representing Klein Homes and accompanied by Steve Klein, described the development as a needed next step for contractors working from home. He noted pull-through garage doors, small offices, and a similarity to Nova's Landing on Charlestown Road, and confirmed that no variances or waivers were requested.
  • January 2026 meeting date: Staff discussed the January 7, 2026, regular meeting date, noting that recent holiday-related shifts for the Plan Commission and BZA did not create a need to move the January date.

Key Outcomes

  • Approved SD 25003, the final plat for 133 West Montgomery and 810 Sprague, on a motion by Commissioner Munich, seconded by Commissioner Fisher; the vote was unanimous.
  • Approved DP 25003, the contractor flex space development plan at 1805 Independence Court, on a motion by Commissioner Munich, seconded by Commissioner Stimley; the vote was unanimous.
  • The January 7, 2026, meeting date will remain unchanged.
