1. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting any other relevant requirements of the Knox County Health Department.
2. Prior to obtaining a design plan approval for the subdivision, submitting a detailed grading plan to the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works and Planning Commission Staff that documents all proposed lots will have adequate building sites and yard areas with driveway grades not exceeding a 15% grade. Increased side yard setbacks may be required along streets with grades of 10% or greater. Those lots that cannot comply with this condition will have to be combined with adjoining lots on any final plats submitted to the Planning Commission for approval.
3. When the detailed grading plan is finalized and approved, the design plan shall identify the limits of clearing and grading for the subdivision and the areas of the steeper slopes to remain undisturbed, except what would be needed for a future ridge trail system.

5. Provision of street names that are consistent with the Uniform Street Naming and Addressing System in Knox County, Ord. (91-1-102).

7. Working with the Knox County Greenways Coordinator in establishing a Ridge Conservation Corridor Trail Easement across this site and identifying the trail easement on the final plat for the subdivision.
