Disposition Summary
Approved the concept plan subject to 2 conditions.
Details of Action
Approved the concept plan subject to 2 conditions.
Staff Recommendation
Approved the concept plan subject to 2 conditions.
1) Providing documentation to Knox County Engineering and Public works demonstrating that the construction of Duncan Farm Way meets or exceeds Knox County's standards for public roads.
2) If Knox County does not accept the full width of the existing access strip as public right-of-way, legal access to the public road must be maintained for the adjacent lots. The remnant strips of land may also be deeded to the adjacent lot owners, if those owners agree to accept the remnant strips.
This request is to create 3 large lots and to convert the existing private road to a public road. Duncan Farm Way was original constructed as a dead end private road that was built to public road standards. In 2018, an extension of Duncan Farm Way was approved to provide access to 4 new lots. The extension of Duncan Farm Way was recently completed and the current request is to subdivide the 33.4-acre lot into 3 lots instead of 4.
In order for Knox County to accept Duncan Farm Way as a public road, the property owner must demonstrate that the road construction meets public road standards, and any deficiencies must be brought up to standard. Knox County may require that all property owners with legal access to Duncan Farm Way agree to make the road public before accepting the road.
