The applicant is proposing to develop an additional 4 detached dwellings on individual lots in the Arcadia subdivision, for a total of 90 lots approved in the subdivision. The 18.35-acre site contains 4.287 acres of buildable area above the 820 elevation TVA flowage easement.

The property is located at the southern terminus of Arcadia Peninsula Way. This development would be accessed off of Arcadia Peninsula Way via a new extension of the private right-of way proposed by this concept plan. The new private right-of-way would provide access to four lots and potential future development.

The property is zoned PR (Planned Residential) up to 3 du/ac. The proposed density for this subdivision is approximately 1.07 du/ac. The property is surrounded by PR (Planned Residential) zoning, so a peripheral boundary is not required.

The new private right-of-way is proposed to have a 22-ft pavement width and a 50-ft right-of-way width. The Planning Commission may reduce the pavement width to 22 ft unless otherwise recommended by the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works. The 22-ft wide pavement is consistent with the previous approvals for this subdivision.

The most recent traffic study for this project was based on 200 dwellings as the maximum number of houses that would be proposed for the site. The traffic study called for the widening of Chandler Lane. To a width of 20 feet and the installation of warning flashers on S. Northshore Drive. At Chandler Lane. The study required these improvements prior to the platting of the 50th lot. The developers completed those improvements head of schedule. The next round of improvements are required as the development approaches 100 lots, which requires the developer to install a left turn lane on S. Northshore Dr. The total number of lots approved, including the 1 new lot, is approximately 90. As future lots are added, the traffic study calls for additional road improvements and more traffic analysis.


No sidewalks are proposed, nor are they required.
