A developer wants to build 270 multifamily units behind a new shopping center in Lebanon.

The site is approximately 22 acres at 6438 Hickory Ridge Road — behind the Hickory Ridge Shopping Center. The mall, which is being built along State Route 109, will be anchored by Publix.

Zoning is in place for the development plan, said Lebanon planner Joshua Stahle.

CR 109 Apartments, which is affiliated with Chartwell Residential, submitted the site plan. Chartwell Residential has been involved in multiple developments in Middle Tennessee. Efforts to reach Chartwell Residential were unsuccessful.

199 units proposed on Quarry Road

A multifamily development is also proposed on Quarry Road. It includes 111 single-family-style homes and 88 multifamily units.

Quarry Road Townhomes is the name of the plan submitted by Marquette Companies, though it doesn’t have traditional townhome units.

The single-family-style homes are detached, but not separated by lots. No variances were requested and the site meets zoning in place.

Dillon Point looks to start work

Work is estimated to start in November on a future neighborhood on Old Hunters Point Pike in Wilson County. It is estimated to include 106 single-family homes.

Dillon Point will be developed by Lennar Homes, a national home builder.

Houses will be one and two stories with attached two-car garages and 3 to 5 bathrooms. The average home size will be 2,500 square feet with an average lot size of more than 18,000 square feet, according to a representative with Lennar Homes.

The preliminary plan was approved in July with a condition to rework the lot configuration to address concerns by nearby residents. They worried homes would be built in flood prone areas, Wilson County Planning Director Tom Brashear said.

The site is just south of Carroll-Oakland School, with access off Cedar Grove Road, as well as Old Hunters Point Pike. The property has a Lebanon address, but is not in the city limits.

There were also concerns about impact to an endangered species habitat.

Spring Creek Bladderpod is a plant found primarily along Spring Creek in Wilson County.

The preliminary plan was approved with a condition that the state performs or accepts an evaluation on the property for detection of endangered species prior to work being allowed on the site. So far, none have been detected, Brashear said.

But state representatives have indicated there appears to be suitable habitat for the Spring Creek Bladderpod on Dillon Point and neighboring properties.

Lennar Homes hopes to begin home construction in September 2023.
