A bid for new home lots in the upscale Hampton Creek gated community by the owner of the Ooltewah development’s golf course was denied by a planning panel on Monday.
Chattanooga attorney John Anderson, who represented a number of homeowners against the proposal for 10 new home sites, said there’s already 200 residences served by one entrance and exit road.
He said the location of a proposed new emergency road required by the fire marshal was “nebulous.” Anderson said such a major decision should be included before the county approves any planned unit development, or PUD.
Course owner Rick Stern’s The Champions Club LLC wanted approval from the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission to create the home lots inside Hampton Creek off Snow Hill Road.
Mike Price of MAP Engineers, who is representing Stern, said the golf course owner was seeking an amendment to the PUD. He said the site at Hampton Creek that is to hold the 10 proposed new lots has been an overflow parking area and green space.
