1) Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting other relevant utility provider requirements.
2) Implementing the recommendations of the Millertown Pike Subdivision Transportation Impact Study (AJAX, revised 11/22/2023) as required by Knox County Engineering and Public Works during the design plan phase. A Memorandum of Understanding with Knox County Engineering and Public Works is required per Chapter 54, Article V of the Knox County Code (Ord. O-23-4-102). See Exhibit B.

4) Obtaining 250 ft of intersection sight distance within the right-of-way at all internal intersections or providing a 250-ft sight distance easement across lots and/or common area per the requirements of Knox County Engineering and Public Works during the design plan phase. Any driveways on these lots must be located outside the sight distance easement and shown on the plat, or the driveways must have a depth of 20 ft beyond the sight distance easement if they cannot be located outside the sight distance easement.
5) Obtaining 400 ft of intersection sight distance entirely within the Millertown Pike right-of-way or providing a 400-ft sight distance easement across lots and/or common area per the requirements of Knox County Engineering and Public Works during the design plan phase.

7) Providing a temporary turnaround at the eastern terminus of Road 'E' and Road 'F' per the requirements of Knox County Engineering and Public Works during the design plan phase. The 50 ft public right-of-way shall be extended to the property boundary as shown on the concept plan with notification of future connection provided per section 3.04.C.2 of the Subdivision Regulations. The temporary turnaround area outside the 50 ft right-of-way may be in an easement with the approval of Knox County Engineering and Public Works. The easement or right-of-way for the temporary turnaround can be eliminated if the public road is extended and the turnaround is no longer required.
8) Installing a sidewalk on one side of Road 'G' frontage per Chapter 54, Article IV of the Knox County Code. The final design of the sidewalk will be determined by Knox County Engineering and Public Works during the design plan phase.
9) Proving a maximum intersection grade of 2 percent on Road 'G' at Millertown Pike.
10) The driveway slope within the right-of-way shall not exceed 2 percent for lots 78-90 for the future installation of sidewalks.
