Milton’s Planning Commission will meet Wednesday evening to consider a single item related to a proposed preliminary plat for new residences in the western part of the city.

The October 22 meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in City Hall’s Council Chambers. People can attend in-person or watch online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11ABqeMMBNY.

Consisting of seven members appointed by Milton’s Mayor and Councilmembers, the Planning Commission evaluates and recommends changes to zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, zoning maps, and overall planning processes. The Commission also weighs in on variance requests and is part of the City’s public hearing process, meaning other City boards discuss and share their thoughts on some of the same agenda items.

The lone agenda item on Wednesday’s agenda is listed under “Consider of Preliminary Plats” as “Little River Farms, Phase 2 – Blackberry Ridge Trail.”

It involves a proposal for Chatham Neighborhoods to build 10 lots on 16.6 acres. This represents the next, anticipated phase of the Little River Farms neighborhood, which is accessible from Batesville Road.

After this meeting, the Planning Commission is next scheduled to convene on November 20.
