2. Provision of a street name which is consistent with the Uniform Street Naming and Addressing System within Knox County (City Ord. 0-280-90).
3. As a part of the final plat, that portion of Tax Parcel 8 that is located on the west side of the proposed street, shall be combined as a single lot with that portion of the right-of-way of Nichols Ave that was closed by ordinance and the 6.2 acre parcel located on the north side of Nichols Ave.
4. Removing the existing parking on the east side of the proposed new street. Any proposal for use of this new lot would be subject to review and approval by the Knoxville Department of Engineering and Department of Development.
5. Installation of the opaque fencing (six feet in height) and/or landscape screening in the areas designated on the Concept Plan within six months of the approval of the Final Plat. If landscaping is used instead of the opaque fencing, the applicant shall submit a landscape plan to MPC Staff for approval prior to installation.
6. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knoxville Department of Engineering.
7. 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.
