Staff Recommendation

APPROVE the Concept Plan for 6 lots subject to 7 conditions:

---

1. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting any other relevant requirements of the Knox County Health Department.
2. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
3. Designating the sinkhole/depression and 50' buffer on the final plat. Since Lots 37 and 41 have questionable building areas outside of the 50' buffer, a geotechnical report must be prepared by a registered engineer to determine soil stability and that report must submitted to the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works for consideration and approval prior to an application being submitted for the final plat. Engineered footings may be required for these areas. Construction is not permitted within five feet of the closed contours of the sinkhole/depression.
4. Meeting all applicable requirements and obtaining all required permits from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation for any alteration of the sinkhole/depression.
5. Certification on the final plat by the applicant's surveyor that the proposed access drive serving Lots 36-38 has at least 300' of sight distance in both directions along Rising Rd. The plat shall also note that lots 36-38 shall only have access through the shared access driveway.
6. Placing a note on the final plat that Lot 39 shall have access only to E Dr.
7. 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.

With the conditions noted, this plan meets the requirements for approval of a Concept Plan.
