1. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting any other relevant requirements of the Knox County Health Department.
2. Provision of street names which are consistent with the Uniform Street Naming and Addressing System within Knox County (County Ord. 91-1-102).
3. Installation of traffic calming devices as required by the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
4. Installation of sidewalks as shown on the approved concept plan subject to meeting ADA requirements. A 5' wide concrete sidewalk or an 8' wide asphalt pathway, subject to approval by the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works at design plan review, shall be installed from the internal sidewalks ending at McCloud Rd. along the entire McCloud Rd. frontage of Lots 1 and 2.
5. Placing a note on the final plat that all structures will have to be located at least 50' from the top of the sinkholes (closed contour areas) identified on the plat. Building construction within the 50' setback may be permitted if a geotechnical study prepared by a registered engineer states that building within the 50' sinkhole buffer is acceptable and the study is approved by the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works. The geotechnical study must be completed and submitted to Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works prior to submission of the final plat for any lots that do not have a building area outside of the 50' setback area. A 5' drainage easement extending outside of the uppermost closed contour is required. Building construction is not permitted within the hatchered contour area of the sinkhole or the drainage easement. Engineered footings may be required for any structures within the 50' sinkhole buffer.
6. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
7. Meeting all applicable requirements and obtaining all required permits from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation for any alteration to the sinkholes on the site.
8. The property line discrepancies designated on the concept plan as Tract 2 and the dark shaded area between the proposed subdivision and the Ledgerwood property (CLT #028-213) to the east.
9. Place a note on the final plat that all lots except Lot 2 shall have access only to the internal street system.
10. With the recording of the final plat for this subdivision, record a sight distance easement across Lots 47 and 53 in order to provide the needed sight distance for the curve in Roads A and B and across Lot 43 for the required sight distance along McCloud Rd.
11. A final plat application based on this concept plan will not be accepted for review by the MPC until certification of design plan approval has been submitted to the MPC staff.

Staff Recommendation

APPROVE variances 1 & 2 because the site's topography and features restrict compliance with the Subdivision Regulations, and the proposed variances will not create a traffic hazard.
