A copy of the plat and staff memo was mailed to members for review prior to the meeting. The condition of the existing common driveway is good and there are no sight distance issues. Standard operating procedure by staff is to have the owner requesting a division to notify the other lot owners and see if there are any objections. The four other owners that share the use of the easement; Miller, Lloyd Jones, Sparks, and Sutton have all acknowledged they do not have any objections to the division of the Fred Jones Property. These lots shall be included in the maintenance for the common driveway by way of note to be added to the final plat. Gary Ferguson, Environmental Health Department, discussed the situation with staff, and agreed in principle that a subdivision that did not result in any net detriment to the property would be acceptable subject to approval of the Planning Commission. Outstanding items to be completed: 1. Approval of the variance request by the Planning Commission. 2. Common Driveway Note to be added to the final plat and a note added to the final plat for the inclusion of maintenance of the driveway for both proposed lots. Staff requested that final signatures be added to the plat as a third item for Outstanding Items. There were concerns as to when a limit is reached on the number of variances that can be done off the easements. Staff stated that the note to be added to the plat constitutes the limitation that the number of lots served exclusively off of the easement is officially limited to 4. Commissioner Kirby made a motion to approve the variance request and final plat subject to staff recommendations along with the addition of the final signatures on the plat, seconded by Commissioner Brad Harrison. Motion received unanimous approval. LONG RANGE PLANNING: Amendments to the zoning regulations to address Pain Management Clinics – new wording to conform to new state legislation: 5

At the February regular meeting the Planning Commission made recommendation for amendments to the zoning regulations for pain management clinics. Since that time, the Tennessee State legislature amended the basic statutes defining and regulating pain management clinics. In order to be consistent between state statutes and our local regulations, the following are proposed as revised amendments. A copy of the recommended amendment was mailed to members for review prior to the meeting. Staff requested that item be deferred until the next meeting since the public hearing has been set for May 8 th allowing time for the full Commission to act on the original recommendation and refer it back to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Wright made a motion to defer item until the next meeting, seconded by Commissioner Kirby. Motion received unanimous approval. STAFF REPORTS: It was noted that all meeting dates, including the Planning Commission meetings for 2012 were posted in the Daily Times in December 2011 and was confirmed by the Attorney for the County Mayor that it does meet the five (5) day requirement for notification.
