ELIZABETHTON â The Elizabethton Planning Commission gave preliminary plat approval Thursday night to a 34-lot subdivision located on 19 acres of currently undeveloped land on Gap Creek Road near Hillrise Avenue on the western end of the city.
The plans were developed by the Johnson City firm of DTWood Engineering for the Tetrick family, developers of the property. One of the lots is not buildable and will contain one of two stormwater ponds. The property is in an R-1 low density residential zone, which restricts the development to single-family residences. The smallest lot planned is 10,5â square feet.
Access to the subdivision is off Gap Creek Road. Three streets will be built on the property, intersecting at the center of the property in a roundabout, with two cul-de-sacs at the ends. One road includes a 13.65% grade for a short section, while another road climbs from an elevation of 1,535 feet to 1,570 feet covering a road length of more than 600 feet.

The number of families Tetrick Funeral Homes served increased by 38 percent from September to December.
“All three of those months, we served more families than any other month in the history of our funeral homes,” President Richard Tetrick said. “It really was all the staff could do to keep up.”
