10.Agenda

f. Sage Road Storage Facility/Dewey Engineering: Request Site Plan Approval for a storage facility consisting of the addition of 64,030 square feet of multiple storage facilities and associated infrastructure. The facility is in an addition to the existing adjacent storage facility to the south on parcel 190.05. Property is referenced as Robertson County Tax Map 106, Parcel 190.00. Property is zoned C-4, Office Professional Service District and is located at Sage Road. Owner: Sage Road Self Storage Partners, LLC. As soon as this was called, City Attorney Valerie Webb called for an executive session. They were in session for close to 20 minutes. When they returned, Planning Director Ceagus Clark opened the discussion.

This here is the reason for the executive session. There is contention over whether or not the special exception applies to the entire property. The representative for the property, Mike Stanton was there. He stated that this property was rezoned for C-2 and given a special exception for storage units. They did not intend for the entire 18 acres to be storage units, but were unsure at the time where the storage facility would be placed. When asked about other commercial spaces on the property, Staton said that it was never discussed. When the apartments were approved, there was discussion of 1000 square feet of commercial space, and in the last few years he has had no one interested in purchasing the property for commercial. Stanton stated hes hasn’t had a single offer since 2016. Dolly Peay added that she was on the BZA in 2016 and recalls that storage was not going to extend out on the property. Stanton said they wanted the special exception for the entire property because at that time they did not know where they would be able to build. They were not asked for any other documentation in 2017. Alderman Wall asked if they were doubling the storage facility. Stanton said that the current facility is full and people are on waiting lists. He added that the community wants another storage facility. Mayor Corbitt stated that his feedback says otherwise. Stanton said that people want it for boat space. There was discussion of the plans (which I don’t have access to). The plans include enclosed storage on the outside and canopy storage in the center for boats and RVs. You can watch the discussion here. Stanton then added that he has built The Standards, Sage North, and this storage facility. (I believe he also built the homes on North Palmers Chapel) He stated he has invested $62.5 million in the city of White House. His builds bring in $223k annually in tax revenue. He is committed to the city and believes he has the right to build these with the special exception from 2017. The meeting got contentious with the discussion on the special exception. The owner came forward and stated that they have documentation for the special exception. Peay made a motion that the request be denied. Denial approved with Brown voting no and Murphy abstaining due to ownership of storage units.

a. WaWa/Site Engineering Consultants Requests Final Plat Approval to combine two parcels into one lot. Property is referenced as Robertson County Tax Map 106, Parcels 114 & 115. Property is zoned C-2, General Commercial and is located at 1007 & 1009 Highway 76 Owner: OV 17 Hwy 76E, LLC Brown asked about traffic over here. Clark stated that discussion about that isn’t necessary. This was approved, and all that is needed now is final plat approval so they can start bulldozing the Days Inn. Approved.

b. Highway 31W Restaurant/Retail/Klober Engineering: Requests Site Plan Approval for a proposed 4,000 square foot mixed use space including 1,500 square foot restaurant space and 2, 500 square footage retail space.

Property is zoned CPUD, Commercial Planned Unit Development and is located at 2931 Highway 31W. Regular Meeting Page 1 of 2 04/14/25 Owner: Shrihari, LLC. This is concerning the extra 1/8 acre that was created when they lined the road up on the north side of 31W with the entrance into Twin Springs.

Wall asked about access and what could go in there. Clark stated that a 4500 square foot lot could have a restaurant, but probably not. The traffic study has already been done for a lot this size, and the roads will accommodate this. Approved

e. Springbrook Section 2 & Springbrook Reserve-Phase 3/JTA Land Surveying: Requests Re-Subdivision Plat Approval for lots 203, 207, & 208 Springbrook Section 2 and lot OS2 Springbrook Reserve-Phase 3.
