Disposition Summary
Approve the request to remove condition #6 from the Concept Plan approved on September 13, 2018 (9-SE-18-C) requiring a street connection between the Clear Springs Plantation and the Meadows at Millertown subdivisions (extension of Parasol Ln. to Autumn Creek Dr.), subject to 3 conditions.
Staff Recommendation
Approve the request to remove condition #6 from the Concept Plan approved on September 13, 2018 (9-SE-18-C) requiring a street connection between the Clear Springs Plantation and the Meadows at Millertown subdivisions (extension of Parasol Ln. to Autumn Creek Dr.), subject to 3 conditions.
1) All other conditions of the previous Concept Plan approval shall remain in effect (9-SE-18-C).
2) The subject parcel identified on the Final Plat of Clear Spring Plantation as "Prop R/W (Future)" (parcel 060HE109) shall be split between the two adjoining property owners or designated as a common area and maintained by the homeowners association if the adjoining property owner(s) do not accept the property.
3) The subject property cannot be used as a buildable lot without Special Use approval by the Planning Commission to modify the previously approved planned district per Article 1.4.G. of the City of Knoxville Zoning Ordinance.
This request removes the Concept Plan condition to extend Parasol Lane to Autumn Creek Drive. Parasol Lane is in the Meadows of Millertown subdivision and Autumn Creek Drive is in the Clear Spring Plantation subdivision. These two subdivisions were proposed by different developers but happened to be on the same Planning Commission agenda in 2005. Both plans showed a connection between the two subdivisions. When the subdivisions were platted, the Parasol Lane right-of-way and the future right-of-way in Clear Spring Plantation were misaligned (see Exhibit A). The lots on either side of the future right-of-way have since been sold and houses built, severely limiting the ability to make this road connection.
In 2018, the rear (southern) portion of the Clear Spring Plantation subdivision was redesigned, and a new Concept Plan was approved (9-SE-18-C) that maintained the condition of making this road connection. However, after reviewing the options further, the City of Knoxville Department of Engineering and Knox County Engineering and Public Works determined the Parasol Lane extension cannot meet road design standards and are in support of this request.
