| BPC2303-002 Revised Site Plan - Brentwood Academy, 219 Granny White Pike, Zoning SI-2- Applicant: Phillip Piercy, Catalyst Design Group, 5100 Tennessee Avenue, Nashville, TN 37209 |
| General Information |
Catalyst Design Group requests approval of a revised Site Plan for Brentwood Academy. The proposal makes minor changes to the site plan approved by the Planning Commission at their May 2, 2022, meeting. Those changes include adding roll up doors to the proposed chapel building and adding phasing lines to the plan. The revision also includes the placement of a portable classroom to replace the loss of a portion of the southern residential building due to the location of the new driveways. The proposed portable will be placed in the existing parking lot west of the art house.
All other items approved by the Planning Commission on May, 2, 2022, remain unchanged. Those items include the following:
1. Construction of a 51,548 sq. ft. Student Life and Academic Center.
2. Construction of eight new tennis courts and a 1,000 sq. ft. tennis support building, with an option to cover four of the six northern courts with an open-air pavilion roof structure. Lighting for the courts is also proposed.
3. Construction of a new softball field and a 1,740 sq. ft. concessions / bathroom building.
4. Construction of the 1,990 sq. ft. chapel.
5. Construction of a new driveway connection to Granny White Pike at Virginia Way.
6. Field lighting and a new public sidewalk along Granny White Pike.
Traffic Review Comments:
- A traffic signal modification design shall be submitted for review and approval by the City.
- Recommend that a 4” dotted white line be included to guide drivers from Virginia Way westbound to the driveway entrance. The dotted line would begin at the stop line, left side of thru lane on the Virginia Way approach and extend through the intersection to the left side of the new driveway entrance
- The dimension of the proposed SB right-turn lane should be corrected to reflect the actual length of the right turn lane
- The northeast corner should include two, separate curb ramps; one for each crosswalk approach. We suggest that the north-south crossing have its respective curb ramp on the east side of the corner radius. In doing so, the crosswalk and stop line would be shifted east to accommodate this. The curb ramp for the east-west crossing on north side of intersection would remain generally as shown.
- Recommend installation of separate curb ramps for southeast corner, similar to northeast corner. The east-west crossing of the south leg may remain as proposed with the north-south crossing using a separate curb ramp. This approach will be consistent with TDOT expectations of the ongoing TDOT-sponsored CMAQ traffic signal upgrade project. Also, this design will provide a shorter crossing distance for pedestrian traffic which enhances safety by reducing exposure to vehicular traffic and provides more efficient traffic signal timing operations.
- Recommend that a second straight arrow pavement marking be installed for the southbound approach generally in-line with the upstream left turn arrow shown.
- Recommend that all existing stop lines should be replaced to provide a consistent deployment. We advise that is preferred to not have partial installation of stop lines.

- The portable classroom will be approved for a period of one year from the date of installation. Extensions to this approval must be granted by the Planning Commission.
