Staff Recommendation

DENY the Development Plan for the reasons identified below:

---

1. Staff's recommendation of denial is based on the fact that the concept/development plan does not address the impacts of the proposed Knoxville Parkway on the property.
2. The 1000' wide study corridor for the Knoxville Parkway traverses the southern half of the site (see attachment). If the parkway is built within the study area (it will require a 300' right-of-way), it will cut off the access for the majority of the lots to Pebblepass Rd. and Oak Ridge Hwy.
3. Without a secondary access to W. Emory Rd., the State will have to condemn/purchase property in order to construct an access to W. Emory Rd. The cost of creating the access is tied to the degree of alteration to the streets and lots to make the connection at a location that would have adequate sight distance.

If the secondary access to W. Emory Rd. is provided, Staff could recommend approval of the concept plan.
