A small subdivision consisting of 26 small single-family lots on approximately 5 acres was approved in 2019 on Triplett Lane just south of Kingston Pike (6-SE-19-C/6-E-19-UR). The subdivision has been largely completed, with 25 lots of the 26 approved lots and the neighborhood pool constructed. The road is private, ranging from 22 to 24 ft wide. A sidewalk has been constructed along the roadway on Triplett Lane.

The request is to remove the internal sidewalks along Lantern Way. The concept plan showed public roads 26 ft in width within 50-65 ft right of way. The Planning Commission approved a reduced pavement width to help with double frontage lot depth variances along Franklin Blvd. The right-of-way was reduced to 40 ft during the design plan phase. The reduced right-of-way makes the addition sidewalks challenging. The developer has installed sidewalks on the frontage road, as required by the Knox County sidewalk ordinance. The sidewalk ordinance does not require internal sidewalks for developments with fewer than 1,000 daily trips.
