8. Placing a note on the final plat that all structures will have to be located at least 50' from the top of the sinkholes (closed contour areas) identified on the plat. Construction within the 50' setback may be permitted if a geotechnical study prepared by a registered engineer states that building within the 50' sinkhole buffer is acceptable and the study is approved by the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works. Engineered footings may be required for any structures within the 50' sinkhole buffer.
9. Prior to certification of the final plat for the subdivision, establishing a property owners association that will be responsible for maintenance of the common area and drainage system.
