The Zoning Ordinance has been amended to permit the Planning Commission to grant variances from this section of the Chattanooga Zoning Ordinance. The staff recommends approval of this variance for the following reasons:
1. The Chattanooga Development Director has been contacted and does not object to this variance.
2. The developer is only able to obtain a 40’ right-of-way for the entrance from Petty Road in front of lots 29-35.

H. N.P.D.E.S. Permit
1. Since there is to be more than one acre of disturbed ground, including building sites, in this subdivision, an N.P.D.E.S. (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit to discharge storm water associated with construction activity is necessary.
2. Although there is not local enforcement of this permit, the state can impose civil and criminal penalties on the developer for failure to obtain a permit when one is necessary. The developer should contact the following office to answer questions about filing such a permit:
Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation
Division of Water Pollution Control
540 McCallie Avenue
Suite 550
Chattanooga, TN 37402
(423) 634-5745
I. A.R.A.P. Permit
1. Since a stream may be involved in this subdivision, an A.R.A.P. (Aquatic Resource Alteration Permit) may be required by the State of Tennessee.

3. The developer is urged to contact the Tennessee Department of Environment, Division of Water Pollution Control at the above address and phone number to determine if an A.R.A.P. permit is required.
APPLICATION NO: 2005-056 JURISDICTION: Chattanooga Dist. #4
Hamilton County Dist. #9
APPLICANT: Harry Hulsey
DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: April 11, 2005 (Deferred)
May 9, 2005 (Deferred)
June 13, 2005 (Deferred)
July 11, 2005 (Action Taken)
LOCATION: A portion of an unnamed alley running along the rear line of and parallel to properties located on the west line of the 6000 block of Ooltewah-Georgetown Road
REQUEST FOR: Abandonment
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The abandonment would landlock a tract of land to the west of the unopened right-of-way.
APPLICATION NO: 2005-086 JURISDICTION: Town of Walden
Hamilton County Dist. #2
APPLICANT: Stuart F. James
DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: June 13, 2005 (Deferred)
July 11, 2005 (Action Taken)
LOCATION: An unopened portion of the 300 block of Bluff View Avenue
REQUEST FOR: Abandonment
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
This case was reviewed in the light of the Town of Walden’s Road Closure Policy (1977) and Right-of-Way Closure and Abandonment Policy (1996). Bluff View Avenue (Bluff Avenue) is open on both ends but is closed in the middle. If a need is identified for an east-west corridor in this area, extending Bluff View Avenue could easily provide that connection.
Closure of this section of the right-of-way could also leave parcel 98D-B-008 landlocked (which would need to be determined through extensive title work).
APPLICATION NO: 2005-088 JURISDICTION: Town of Walden
Hamilton County Dist. #2
APPLICANT: A. J. Nardo
DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: June 13, 2005 (Deferred)
July 11, 2005 (Action Taken)
LOCATION: A portion of the unopened 300 block of Griffiss Avenue
REQUEST FOR: Abandonment
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
This case was reviewed in the light of the Town of Walden’s Road Closure Policy (1977) and Right-of-Way Closure and Abandonment Policy (1996). This is a Tier 3 right-of-way and is listed as an “Optional” Unopened Right-Of-Way in the 1977 Road Closure Policy. The text for Optional Right-Of-Way closure reads: “The closure of the following unopened rights-of-way will not jeopardize vehicular circulation in any appreciable manner, however; they should be closed only under certain circumstances. As the Hunnicutt Tax maps indicate, these platted rights-of-way provide access to various parcels of land. A closure should be approved only in conjunction with land assemblage and/or resubdivision of these properties so that no parcel will be landlocked.”
This closure would not landlock any property but could limit development of the parcels to the west along this unopened right-of-way.

Hamilton County Dist. #3
APPLICANT: DL Enterprises
DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: June 13, 2005 (Deferred)
July 11, 2005 (Action Taken)
LOCATION: 5540 Highway 153
PRESENT ZONING: R-4 Special Zone
REQUEST FOR: C-2 Convenience Commercial Zone
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Offices, Light Retail, Barber Shop & Auto Detailing
SIZE OF TRACT: 3.4 Acres +
ACCESS TO TRACT: Good
SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Vacant
SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Mixed Use – C-2 & R-2
EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: Yes
IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAND USE PLAN: No
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny C-2; Approve C-5 Neighborhood Commercial Zone, subject to access as shown on their site plan.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The parcel is surrounded by single-family residential.
The Hixson-North River 2004 Update recommends light business mix. Some of the proposed uses can be done in the existing R-4, but the barber shop cannot and does meet the intent of the plan which states neighborhood commercial, office, limited residential, or similar uses. The auto detailing would not meet the intent of the plan.
Recommendation is to deny because the plan does not support the intensity of a C-2 zone.
C-5 meets the intent of the plan’s suggested Neighborhood Commercial.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAND USE PLAN: No

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The Hamilton Place Community Plan (2001) recommends that the area of Applegate Road. is also appropriate for professional office uses. It further states: “Due to the quality and nature of existing structures on Applegate Road, it is recommended that existing structures be retained.” When Applegate Subdivision was rezoned to O-1 in 2002, the purpose of the rezoning was to address the goals of the Hamilton Place plan. One condition of that rezoning was that “Existing buildings shall be retained.” Another condition is that uses are “Limited to professional offices, medical or dental offices, and clinics only.”
If approved, they would still not be able to put the Hair Benders parking lot because of the condition that states “Limited to professional offices, medical or dental office, and clinics only.”
Parking in this area should not be for business on Gunbarrel Road.
The intent of the condition to retain the existing structures was to keep a residential appearance if used for office.
