Disposition Summary
Approve the Concept Plan subject to 6 conditions.
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Concept Plan subject to 6 conditions.
1. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting other relevant utility provider requirements, including but not limited to purchasing the required amount of sewer shares for house lots.
2. Provision of street names consistent with the Uniform Street Naming and Addressing System within Knox County (County Ord. 91-1-102).
3. Before certification of the final plat for the subdivision, establish a property owners association or other legal entity responsible for maintaining common facilities, such as common areas, amenities, private roads, and/or stormwater drainage systems.
4. If during design plan approval or construction of the development, it is discovered that unforeseen off-site improvements within the right-of-way are necessary, the developer will either enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the County for these improvements or reimburse the County for their direct expenses (if completed by County crews) to make corrections deemed necessary.
5. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
6. Adding the non-disturbance area to the final plat for lot 11 as shown on sheet CP-1, consistent with the condition of the PR zoning.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide this 16.75-acre tract into 11 detached residential lots. Ten lots are located north of Williams Branch Creek, ranging in size from 0.216 acres to 0.258 acres. The remaining 13.5 acres are in lot 11. The property was rezoned from A (Agricultural) to PR(k) up to 3.5 du/ac in August 2023 (6-H-23-RZ), subject to the condition that the portion of the parcel with slopes of 25 percent or greater shall be left undisturbed, as delineated in the slope analysis map.
NOTE: According to the parcel map, the calculated acreage of the property is 13.5 acres. However, according to the deed, the acreage is 16.54 acres, and the concept plan states the acreage is 16.75 acres. Regardless of the actual acreage, the proposed density of 0.67 du/ac based on the concept plan acreage (16.75 acres) is well below the maximum allowed of 3.5 du/ac.
