Staff Recommendation
DENY the development plan for the expansion of the marina due to the following:
1. The standards for marina development contained in the Knox County Zoning Ordinance dictate that a marina must have "adequate access to thoroughfares." The only vehicular access to the site is via a substandard 14' wide Solway Ferry Rd. that dead-ends at the marina. This road does not meet any current standard for safe two-way traffic operation.
2. Staff believes the request does not comply with the general standards for uses permitted on review as contained in the Knox County Zoning Ordinance because it will cause a substantial increase in the amount of non residential traffic on Solway Ferry Rd. This is believed to incompatible with the existing residential uses along this narrow road.
3. Basic infrastructure is marginal at best. Sewage disposal is via a septic system and water service is provided by a 2" diameter line. The Knox County Fire Marshall's office has said the available water flow limits fire fighting capability.
Disposition Summary
Approve the development plan for the expansion of the marina as requested subject to the following conditions:
