The Pigeon Forge Regional Planning Commission met for their regular monthly meeting Tuesday night, deliberating for two hours on various items of business.
The commissioners approved several subdivisions including 22 lots near Goose Gap Road. The proposed Lafollette Landing development planned for Mortar Road received preliminary subdivision approval by the planners.
Another subdivision requested for the Sawmill Branch Road and Waldens Creek Road area was withdrawn following concerns expressed by the city planning staff.
The main issue was concern over the water supply to the proposed home sites, which did not appear to be adequate, according to the city planning staff. The developer said that the issue was being covered, but he did not have the appropriate documentation to assure the planning commission.
“We have not really been granting any preliminary plats without that modeling because it is very important for fire protection,” said Karl Kreis with the city planning staff.
