Staff Recommendation
Approve the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness for a grading plan on Corridor Park Boulevard, subject to the following conditions:1. Any further development of this site will require review and approval from the TTCDA Board.
2. Meeting all relevant requirements of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance, as appropriate.
3. Meeting any applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
1. This is a request for a grading plan for a future project on Corridor Park Boulevard. The project will consist of two parcels directly across from the northern terminus of Innovation Drive. These are the last 2 lots directly fronting Corridor Park to have a development plan in place, as the other empty lots at the eastern terminus of Corridor Park Blvd have plans that were approved last year.
2. The site plans indicate that existing vegetation will remain along the rear shared property line with single family houses.
3. The majority of the site consists of topography with less than 15% slope, though there are some slopes with 15-25% grade and a small ridge with 25-40% in the middle of the site. The grading plan proposes to smooth the center of the site and will create a steeper slope at the rear of the site. The subject property sits at a lower elevation than the residential properties behind it (1050 FFE vs 1010 FFE), so the tree buffer along the property line should go a long way towards screening the view of the future development.
4. The Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works has reviewed the plans and had no issues with the proposal. They would work with the applicant on any necessary stormwater improvements that may be required at such time as site plans for a development were submitted.
5. Site plans would require a separate review and approval by the TTCDA prior to future site development that may occur in addition to the proposed grading.
