Disposition Summary

Approve requested variance 2 and the alternative design standards based on the recommendations of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works because the proposal will not create a safety hazard.

Deny variance request 1 due to the significant slope present where Road A meets Rifle Range Road and how that would impact potential road widening of Rifle Range Road should that occur in the future.

Approve the Concept Plan subject to 6 conditions.
