6) Providing a transportation impact letter (TIL) to determine whether a westbound right turn lane on W. Governor John Sevier Highway is warranted at the subdivision access point. The TIL is to be reviewed and approved by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) during the design plan phase.
7) 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 completed by County crews) to make corrections deemed necessary.
8) Maintain a tree buffer with 50 ft of depth along the Governor John Sevier Highway frontage and install high-visibility tree protection fencing outside the critical root zone before clearing and grading activities begin per the zoning condition (7-G-24-RZ).
