The Planning Commission approved withdrawal of this item per the applicant's request at the meeting.

Applicant Request

+
Close Alley
From Cumberland Avenue to the north
S. Twenty First Street
To Lake Avenue to the south
Twenty Second Street, south of Cumberland Avenue

Reason for Closure

The intended development plans to utilize the entire block as part of the project. The applicant states that the concept would create a scenario where the alley would no longer be necessary for access to any of the parcels. The development would also create one lot out of the existing parcels and the abandoned alley.

Objections

The City of Knoxville Engineering Department objects to this proposed closure; AT&T states they do not release and thereby retain all easements and rights to utility facilities


Comments / Recommendations

+
Deny closure of the unnamed alley south of Cumberland Avenue between S. Twenty First and Twenty Second Streets as it is an active alley that provides connectivity in an area of high congestion with several one-way streets and restricted turning options.
