Concept Plan

12-SC-24-C

Approved with conditions
by the Planning Commission

Approve the variance to reduce the pavement radius from 40 ft to 35 ft on the cul-de-sac, based on the following evidence of hardships.
A. The subject property is very narrow, and a larger radius will not work on this property.
B. The radius reduction is necessary because of the narrow property, and it will not cause a traffic hazard.
C. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to public safety, health, or welfare and fire pumper emergency vehicle will still be able to navigate the cul-de-sac. Knox County EPW recommend approval of this variance based on the justifications provided by the applicant.

Approve the variance to reduce the intersection spacing between two local streets, the proposed road and Ishman Way, from 125 ft to 119 ft, based on the following evidence of hardships.
A. The subject property is very narrow, and the southern corner is located across Cureton Road from Ishman Way. The proximity of this property to Ishman way causes the need for a variance.
B. The intersection spacing is necessary because of the property's proximity to Ishman Way and because it is narrow. It will not cause a traffic hazard.
C. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to public safety, health, or welfare because the placement of the proposed road maximizes sight distance. Knox County EPW recommend approval of this variance based on the justifications provided by the applicant.

Approve the Concept Plan subject to 5 conditions.
