2) Meeting all relevant requirements of the Knox County Health Department.
3) Meeting all relevant approval conditions of the companion MPC use-on-review request (3-E-11-UR.)
4) Prior to the release of any approved Certificate of Appropriateness, review and approval of the plans by th pipe line company controlling the gas line easement crossinga portion of the site. This shall include consideration of the second building and parking are as conceptually depicted on the plan.
5) Prior to the submission of any plans for additional construction on the site, the property owner sall pursue with Knox County Engineering the acquisition of excess right-of-way across the Hardin Valley Road fronage, or provide evidence as to why this right-of-way cannot be obtained. This will provide additional setback for the purpose of landscapng (see attached Exhibit A.)
6) Placing all electrical service and telephone lines underground, as required by the Design Guidelines. (Sec. 1.9.1, page 20.)
7) Variance to reduce the size of the typicalparking stall, from 200 sq. ft. to 162 sq. ft. (9 ft. by 18 f.) This has become a routine variance request due to actual size requirements for parking vehicles. In theory, less pavement is required to meet parking space requirements.
8) Waiver to increase the allowable area of the sign face (including message area) for both sides, from 94.5 sq. ft. to 144 sq. ft. The proposed square footage of the sign structure is below the allowable maximum size limit of 150 sq. ft. However, based on the amount of building frontage for the dental office, only 94 sq. ft. would be allowed. It is staff's opinion that the structure as proposed would not be out of character with the surrounding area. There may also be the opportunity to include other business names on this one sign as they are developed on other lots in this development.
9) Revise the landscape plan to incorporate from 5 to10 deciduous canopy trees, as listed in Appendix B, Tables 1 thru 3, of the Design Guidelines. (See Sec. 3, for specific guidance.) These may be mixed with the white pines as shown on the plan. At least two of these trees should be planted in the area adjacent to the parking area. A revised landscape plan shall be reviewed by staff prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Appropriateness to ensure compliance with this condition.
