Staff Recommendation

APPROVE variance 1 because the site's topography and access location restricts compliance with the Subdivision Regulations, and the proposed variance will not create a traffic hazard.

APPROVE the Concept Plan subject to 7 conditions

---

1. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting any other relevant requirement of the Knox County Health Department.
2. Provision of street names which are consistent with the Uniform Street Naming and Addressing System within Knox County (Ord. 91-1-102).
3. Placing a note on the final plat that all structures will have to be located at least 50' from the top of the sinkhole (closed contour area) identified on the plat in the area of Lot 27. Construction within the 50' setback may be permitted if a geotechnical study prepared by a registered engineer states that building within the 50' sinkhole buffer is acceptable and the study is approved by the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works. Construction is not permitted within the hatchered contour area of the sinkhole. Engineered footings may be required for any structures within the 50' sinkhole buffer. If a determination is made by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation that this feature is not a sinkhole, this condition would not apply.
4. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
5. Prior to certification of the final plat for the subdivision, establishing a property owners association that will be responsible for maintenance of the drainage system and common area.
6. Meeting all requirements of the approved use on review development plan.
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.
