Staff Recommendation
Approve the Concept Plan subject to 6 conditions.
1. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting other relevant utility provider requirements.
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 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.
3. Adding a note to the plat that Lots 2 and 3 must share a driveway.
4. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County zoning ordinance.
5. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
6. Before recording the final plat for the subdivision, establishing a property owners association or other legal entity responsible for maintaining common facilities, such as common areas, amenities, private roads, and/or stormwater drainage systems.
The development consists of 4 duplexes and 5 single family homes on individual lots. Lots 1-4 are duplexes that will access Number Two Drive. Lots 5-9 are single-family homes that will utilize the access easement. Duplexes are permitted as a use on review within the RA zone, while single-family homes are permitted by right. Lot 5 has an existing home and accessory structures that will remain.
