Disposition Summary

Approve the variance to reduce the required horizontal radius from 250 ft to 100 ft at station 64+50.

Approve the subdivision plat because the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works is in support of the request and the plat is otherwise in compliance with the subdivision regulations.

1) This proposal is Phase 3B of the Arcadia subdivision and includes an extension of Arcadia Peninsula Way (a private right-of-way) of approximately 750 ft. The total area is approximately 13 acres. However, only 5.247 acres are above the 820 contour.
2) A concept plan for this proposal was approved in April 2022 (Case 4-SD-22-F / 4-G-22-UR). The concept plan called for 5 lots initially, which had resulted in a density of 0.95 when calculating the density using the acreage above the 820 contour. The plat has reduced the number of lots to 4, yielding a density of 0.76 du/ac for the land above the 820 contour. The lot configuration remains largely the same and the proposed plat is generally consistent the concept plan.
3) There is another minor change from the concept plan, and that is a slightly sharper horizontal curve in front of lot number 411, for which a variance has been requested. The Department of Engineering and Public Works has stated they support the requested variance.
