Postponed to the July, 2024 Planning Commission meeting

Approve the requested variance to increase the maximum number of lots on one side of a road without a turnaround from 1 to 2, for the portion of Road 'N' northwest of the Road 'L' intersection.
A. There is a large depression north of the terminus of Road 'N' and providing a turnaround would extend the paved road surface into the closed contour of the depression.
B. Road 'N' cannot continue north due to a large depression, which is a unique characteristic of the site.
C. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to public safety, health, or welfare because this portion of Road 'N' will be used very little by the general public and does not require a turnaround per the fire code.

Approve the requested variance to reduce the K value from 25 to 20 between stations 1+40.22 and 3+69.02 on Road B, based on the following evidence of hardship.

1. The property is somewhat irregularly shaped and is challenging topographically. The most optimum location of proposed Road B happens to coincide with the steepest part of the property with the HP (Hillside Protection) designation.
2. The shape of the property and the location of the slope with respect to the proposed road is unique to the property and has not been created by any person having an interest in the property.
3. Granting this variance will not be detrimental to public safety, health, or welfare as the proposed reduction is in compliance with the AASHTO standard, as stated by the applicant.

Approve the concept plan subject to 7 conditions.

Approve the requested variance to increase the maximum slope through the cul-de-sac of road a from 10 percent to 11.75 percent, based on the evidence of hardship presented by the applicant.

Approve the Concept Plan subject to 9 conditions.

Approve the requested variance to reduce the minimum vertical curve K value from 25 to 23 on Vista View Lane at STA 116+25, based on the following evidence of hardship presented by the applicant.
a. This phase of the subdivision needs to be slightly higher than the prior phases to drain into the previously constructed detention basin properly. Reaching this higher elevation was done as quickly as possible along the proposed vertical alignment, resulting in a K value of 23 instead of 25.
b. Shallow rock is a unique condition to the property encountered on this proposed roadway from approximately Station 117+00 through the end of the alignment. The lowered K value request results from trying to get the vertical alignment above the rock layer as quickly as possible.
c. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to public safety, health, or welfare because easements through the curves in question allow for adequate sight distance.

Approve the alternative design standards based on the justification provided by the applicant and recommendations of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
