This subdivision is another thermometer subdivision - cul-de-sacs with no connectivity to nearby streets.
When the property to the north had a Concept Plan, I submitted comments (https://agenda.knoxplanning.org/2020/may/correspondence/5-SD-20-C_5-L-20-UR.pdf) and stated:
5-SD-20-C - Beeler Rd - also lacks connectivity stub-out to the parcel to the south. Unfortunately when the Opportunity Ridge subdivision was platted, it did not include any stub-outs.
Accepting this Concept Plan from the applicant, without stub-outs, would be the third consecutive subdivision on this side of Beeler Road that does not provide connectivity.
The proposed Concept Plan does not meet the Standards for Street Connectivity set out in the Subdivision Regulations 3.04.C, specifically 2.b:
Providing for future street connections to adjoining undivided property. The proposed street system of a subdivision may be required to include street stub-outs for the logical extension of the street system into the surrounding area.
Please require the developer to provide street connections to the undivided parcel to the south.
Pertinent Subdivision Regulations and my comments on 5-SD-20-C from 2020 attached.
