2. Revising the concept plan to: a) include the required minimum intersection corner radii, as approved by the variance, for edge of pavement and the right-of-way for Waterville Ln. and Schaeffer Rd.; b) add the edge of pavement and right-of-way radius information for the horizontal curves and cul-de-sac turnaround; and c) identify the portion of Lot 1 that wraps around the northern portion of Lot 3 as an area to remain undisturbed (See Exhibit A).
3. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
4. Placing a note on the final plat that access for all lots is restricted to Waterville Ln.
5. Obtaining approval from Knox County Commission for the closure of that portion of the right-of-way for Waterville Ln. that extends north of the proposed new cul-de-sac turnaround and identify that closure area on the final plat for the resubdivision of the property.
6. A final plat application based on this concept plan will not be accepted for review by the MPC until certification of design plan approval has been submitted to the MPC staff.
