As part of the review, the Planning Commission also voted unanimously to forward a recommendation of approval to the Board of Commissioners of the corresponding changes to the OSRD Development Plan for the project.
A comparison of the approved and proposed plans are shown in the following table.

The changes to the plan since the December 2015 approval include:
- Minor lot line revisions to Lots 2, 43-50, 126, 127, and 145-147. The lot line shifts resulted in one existing lot becoming a flag lot;
- Updated the utility layout for Sections 1-3, pre final design drawings;
- Revised the phasing and updated the OSRD calculations;
- The width of the grass strip between the curb and sidewalk has been increased to eight feet, with the exception of the area in front of the clubhouse which was reduced to five feet to preserve existing trees in the area;
- Revisions to the street tree planting and landscaping buffer plans;
- Revisions to the location of the sidewalk location adjacent to Lots 6 & 18;
- Revisions to the clubhouse layout and addition of amenities on open space “H”; and
- The construction of a pavilion in open space “G” is also included. The improvement was not shown on the previously approved plan.
The plan also proposes a reconfiguration of the phasing for the project, reducing the number of lots in some sections to accommodate the construction of homes in Section One for the Fall 2017 Parade of Homes.
You will notice from your review of the above summary of the plan, that most of the changes are minor in nature and don't impact open space. The one aspect of the revised plan that does require review and approval by the Board of Commissioners is the proposed addition of the pavilion in open space area "G".
Approval by the City Commission of the revised OSRD Development Plan is necessary in accordance with the requirements of Section 78-185(b).
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the Planning and Codes Director. |

| Previous Commission Action |
At its meeting of January 12, 2016 the Board of Commissioners voted unanimously, seven for and zero against (7-0) to approve Resolution 2016-01 authorizes a minor alteration to the OSRD Development Plan for the Witherspoon Subdivision. The revised plan proposes an increase in the amount of excess open space for the project of 871.20 square feet (0.02 acres), or from the original approved area of 90.44 acres to 90.46 acres
At its June 8, 2015 regular meeting, the Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2015-39, which approved the sale of the Holt Property.
Also at its June 8, 2015 regular meeting, the Board of Commissioners approved resolution 2015-40, which authorized an agreement with Charles W. Witherspoon and Brentwood United Methodist Church for Distribution of Proceeds from Sale of Holt Farm Property. The funding agreement protects the City’s potential interest in the property by setting limits on the amount of money from the sale of the property that can be used for Mr. Witherspoon’s benefit. Authorization of the agreement will increase the likelihood that the City will have the option to receive a substantial portion of the proceeds from the sale for the benefit of the City's library, as desired by Mrs. Holt.
On January 13, 2015, a rezoning plan for the property was presented to the Board of Commissioners for review. That plan proposed the rezoning of the approximately 264 acre property from R-2 to OSRD-IP. After consideration by the Board, a motion and a second to approve the proposed OSRD-IP Development Plan was advanced. The motion failed 2-5.
At is meeting on June 9, 2014, the Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2014-40, Approving an Acceptance of Conveyance of the Holt Property to Pearl Street Partners, LLC. That transaction was canceled after Pearl Street's rezoning proposal failed to pass.
In 1994, the Board of Commissioners passed Resolution 94-27, asserting the City’s claim to any and all rights, title and interest due to the City under Mrs. Holt’s will.
