BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting the closure of an unnamed street segment (formerly O'Neal Street). The subject right-of-way provides legal access to one parcel, which is owned by the applicant. This parcel would remain accessible if this right-of-way were to be closed. If approved for closure, the right-of-way will be combined with the adjacent parcels and converted to private property.

COMMENTS:
The reviewing departments and organizations had these comments:
- Planning: Planning has no objections to this closure.
- City of Knoxville Engineering: City Engineering has no objections to the closure. Should this right-of-way be closed, the City will reserve easements for all drainage facilities and utilities, if there are any current facilities, located in or within five (5) feet of the property described herein. No easements are reserved if there are no current facilities within the closure area. If any existing facilities or utilities are found not feasible to the site development or use, they may be removed and relocated, subject to City Engineering and/or other applicable easement holder review and approval.
- Addressing: The proposed ROW closure is not expected to impact any existing addresses.
- Fire Department: Approved to close.
- KUB: KUB does not have gas facilities on this parcel and does not plan to have gas facilities on it. KUB will not require a utility easement reserved for the gas facilities.
- AT&T: AT&T has no objections to this closure.
- TDOT: The roadway closure requested for review has no impact to state owned ROW. Therefore, TDOT takes no exception to the request.
