1. Approval by Knox County Commission of the Rezoning to PR (Planned Residential) at a density of 1 - 5 du/ac (6-G-03-RZ).
2. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting any other relevant requirements of the Knox County Health Department.
3. Provision of street names which are consistent with the Uniform Street Naming and Addressing System within Knox County (County Ord. 91-1-102).
4. Meeting all applicable requirements and obtaining all required permits from the Tennessee Dept. of Environment and Conservation for any alteration to the sinkhole.
5. Placing a note on the final plat that all structures will have to be located at least 50' from the top of the sinkholes (closed contour areas) on this site, as determined by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. 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 prior to approval of the final plat. Engineered footings are required for any structures within the 50' sinkhole buffer.
6. Obtaining an off-site drainage easement for the discharge from the detention basin located at the southeast corner of the property, or other alternative method approved by the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
7. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
8. Meeting all requirements of the approved use on review development plan.
9. 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.
