At some time prior to adoption of the Old North Knoxville H-1 Historic Overlay, three 50' lots on E. Scott in Old North Knoxville were given one address (428 E. Scott). On 2/19/2009, the Knoxville Historic Zoning Commission determined that, as a result of removal of the façade added when the lots were combined, the buildings had been returned to a status of contributing to the historic district.

The subdivision contemplated by this application will protect the separation achieved in the recent rehabilitation, and will protect the reintroduction of appropriately scaled lot widths for the two remaining historic buildings, in support of pgs. 26 and 27 of the adopted Old North Knoxville Design Guidelines, and particularly of pg. 29, G.4.
