The applicant is requesting approval of a revision to a residential subdivision (9-SB-25-C/9-F-25-DP) featuring 132 townhome lots and 127 single-family units, for a total of 259 units. The previous approval had the units on individual lots. This plan will have 255 units of townhomes, duplexes, and single family style homes all on one lot.

The development utilizes a boulevard entrance road, and a sidewalk is provided on one side of the entire length of Road A per the Knox County Sidewalk Ordinance. The road design is unchanged but will be private instead of public roads.

The Sevier Meadows -Phase 2 (0 Maryville Pike) Subdivision Transportation Impact Study (TIS) concludes that a southbound left turn lane is warranted once the 12th housing unit is constructed (see Exhibit B).
