Approve the development plan for an office/warehouse with approximately 24,309 sq ft of floor area, subject to 5 conditions.1) Resolving the location of the KUB utility lines prior to the issuance of a grading permit. Redesign to the site could require TTCDA and Planning Commission approval.
2) 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, the developer will either enter into an MOU with the County for these improvements or reimburse the County for their direct expenses (if competed by County crews) to make corrections deemed necessary.
3) Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Engineering and Public Works and Knoxville Utility Board.
4) Meeting all other applicable requirements of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance.
5) Obtaining TTCDA approval of the development plans (Case 9-C-24-TOB).
