Staff Recommendation

Approve the modification of condition #3 for the Isabel Estates concept plan (10-SC-21-C) as request by the applicant in condition #1, subject to 2 conditions.

---

1) As recommended by the Transportation Impact Study and Knox County Engineering and Public Works, a maximum of 66 lots may be platted before the left turn lane on E. Emory Road has been installed by the applicant, or future improvements to E. Emory Road that includes an eastbound left turn lane at the Brackett Road intersection, are complete, or a signed (executed) Memorandum of Understanding between the applicant and Knox County, an executed permit has been issued by the Tennessee Department of Transportation, and a notice to proceed has been issued by Knox County.
2) All other aspects of the Isabel Estates concept plan approval (10-SC-21-C) remain unchanged and effective.

---

This request is to modify condition #3 of the approved concept plan for Isabel Estates (10-SC-21-C / 10-E-21-UR), which restricts the subdivision to 66 platted lots before improvements to the E. Emory Road intersection are complete (see below for the full condition). The subdivision was approved for up to 90 lots. The plat for the first phase of Isabel Estates was recorded in November 2023 with 66 lots. The remaining 24 lots cannot be platted until the turn lane is installed on E. Emory Road.

When Isabel Estates was approved in 2021, Knox County had not yet created the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) process, where off-site improvements are paid for by the applicant, but the work is implemented by Knox County Engineering and Public Works. The requested modification to condition #3 allows an executed MOU between the applicant and the County as an option for allowing the remaining 24 lots to be platted. With this modification, the lots can be platted once the turn lane construction is ready to start.

See Exhibit B for the recommendations and conclusions of the Isabel Estates Transportation Impact Analysis (Study), by Fulghum MacIndoe & Associates, revised 9/24/2021.
