4. Providing a note on the plat that the minimum finished floor elevation is 1-foot above the 500-year floodplain. The impacted lots are to be identified during the design plan review and approved by Knox County Engineering and Public Works.
5. Identifying the sinkhole on Lots 15 & 16 and the 50-FT buffer on the final plat or providing a geotechnical report prepared by a registered engineer documenting that this depression shown on the topopraphy map is not a sinkhole, with review and approval by Knox County Engineering and Public Works. If this is determined to be a sinkhole, any building construction proposed within the 50' buffer area around the designated sinkholes/depressions (including the depressions), a geotechnical report must be prepared by a registered engineer to determine soil stability and that report must be submitted to the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works for consideration. Any construction in these areas is subject to approval by the County following review of the report. Engineered footings must be designed for these areas. For those lots that do not have a building site outside of the 50' buffer, approval by Knox County will be required prior to final plat approval. The sinkholes/depressions and 50' buffer shall be designated on the final plat even if they are approved to be filled.
