The Dickson County Planning Commission made significant strides in community development during its recent meeting on July 10, 2025, approving two key residential projects that promise to enhance local housing options.

The commission unanimously approved the preliminary plat for Shelton Road Estates, located on Shelton Road in Charlotte, Tennessee. This development will create four new building lots on a 6.05-acre parcel, which is consistent with the surrounding area that has seen similar growth. Commissioner Amanda Berry initiated the motion for approval, emphasizing the typical nature of the project for the region. The commission discussed the importance of including site distance measurements for driveways and new roads, ensuring safety and accessibility for future residents. The approval was confirmed through a voice vote, reflecting strong support among the members.

In addition, the commission reviewed the final plat for the Danielson Hollow Subdivision, which spans 122.78 acres on Furnace Hollow Road in Dixon. This project will feature 12 lots, with infrastructure supported by a homeowners association (HOA) responsible for maintenance. The commission examined the HOA covenants and bylaws, ensuring that all necessary documents were in order before moving forward.

These developments are expected to meet the growing housing demand in Dickson County, providing new opportunities for residents while maintaining the area's agricultural character. The commission's decisions highlight a commitment to thoughtful planning and community enhancement, setting the stage for future growth in the region.
