Staff Recommendation
Approve the Concept Plan subject to 8 conditions.
1. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting other relevant utility provider requirements.
2. Placing a note on the final plat that all lots will have access only to Bays Mountain Road.
3. If during design plan approval or construction of the development, it is discovered that unforeseen off-site improvements within the right-of-way are necessary as caused by the development, the developer will either enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the County for these improvements or reimburse the County for their direct expenses (if completed by County crews) to make corrections deemed necessary.
4. Providing a turnaround for the driveway on Lot 1.
5. Providing a note on the plat that the minimum finished floor elevation is 923, or as otherwise required by Knox County Engineering and Public Works during the design plan phase.
6. Providing a stream determination study to the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works for review and approval regarding a potential stream shown on the plan.
7. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County zoning ordinance.
8. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
This concept was approved in 2021 (2-SB-21-C/2-D-21-UR) and has since expired. Pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Section 13-3-413, a Concept Plan shall be vested for a period of three (3) years from the date of Planning Commission approval. The vesting period shall expire if site preparation has not commenced, all necessary permits are not obtained, and the Final Plat is not approved within the three (3) year vesting period. This provision is not intended to limit additional vesting periods that may apply pursuant to Section 13-3-413 of TCA.

The only change from the 2021 approval is that sidewalks are no longer required since Gap Creek Elementary is scheduled to close. One of the criteria for requiring sidewalks is proximity to schools.
