3. [REVISED 4/11/2022] Implementing the recommendations of the W Gallaher Ferry Road Subdivision Transportation Impact Study (Fulghum MacIndoe, revised 3/25/2022), as revised and approved by Planning Commission staff and Knox County Engineering and Public Works (see Exhibit A), including but not limited to the realignment of W. Gallaher Ferry Road as proposed on the Concept Plan (revised 3/28/2022) and obtaining any necessary off-site grading/construction easements. The final design of the road alignment and timing of the construction are to be worked out with Knox County Engineering and Public Works during the design plan phase. All off-site road improvements are to be completed before the first phase of the subdvision is platted. If any portion of the proposed W. Gallaher Ferry Road changes from the proposed realignment, Planning and Knox County Engineering and Public Works staff may require a new Concept Plan to be approved by the Planning Commission or the elimination of some or all of the lots with direct access to W. Gallaher Ferry Road.

The geotechnical study must be reviewed and approved by Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works prior to approval of a plat for any proposed lots that do not have adequate building area outside of the 50-ft buffer (building setback) area. Building construction is not permitted within the sinkhole/closed contour area or any required drainage easement for the sinkhole/closed contour area.
