Staff Recommendation

Approve the requested variances based on the justification provided by the applicant and recommendations of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.

Approve the Concept Plan subject to 7 conditions

---

1) Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting other relevant utility provider requirements.
2) Provision of street names consistent with the Uniform Street Naming and Addressing System within Knox County (County Ord. 91-1-102).
3) Installing the turn lane at the Murphy Lane and Star Gate Drive/Horsestall Drive intersection, per condition #3 for the Concept Plan approval for The Meadows and Shannon Valley, Phase 1 (3-SA-21-C).
4) Providing a note on the plat that lots 82, 83 & 84 have a minimum finished floor elevation one foot above the 500-year flood plain as required by Knox County Engineering and Public Works during the design plan phase.
5) If any building construction is proposed within the 50' buffer area around the designated sinkholes/depressions (including the depressions), a geotechnical report must be prepared by a registered engineer to determine soil stability and that report must be submitted to the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works for consideration. Any construction in these areas is subject to approval by the County following a review of the report. Engineered footings must be designed for these areas. For those lots that do not have a building site outside of the 50' buffer, approval by Knox County will be required prior to final plat approval. The sinkholes/depressions and 50' buffer shall be designated on the final plat even if they are approved to be filled. If it is determined to be a sinkhole, any lot that does not have a buildable area outside of the designated sinkhole must be eliminated or combined with other lots so it does have a buildable area.
6) Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
7) Before certification of the final plat for the subdivision, establish a property owners association or other legal entity responsible for maintaining common facilities, such as common areas, amenities, private roads, and/or stormwater drainage systems.
