The sidewalk and mid-block crosswalk on Pleasant Ridge Road may be modified in the length and location during design plan review. Sidewalks shall meet all applicable requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Knoxville Department of Engineering and shall be installed at the time the streets are installed, unless approved otherwise by the Knoxville Department of Engineering to guarantee the installation.
5) Obtaining approval from the Knoxville Department of Engineering for the vertical curves in Road ?C? that do not meet AASHTO standards during design plan review, or revising the design as necessary to meet the requirements of the Knoxville Department of Engineering.

If KAT determines that a bus stop is not feasible or wanted in front of this development, this can be eliminated from the plan. The sidewalk and crosswalk along this frontage shall be installed as determined necessary by the Knoxville Department of Engineering to provide a safe crossing to the sidewalk on the opposite side of Pleasant Ridge Road.
10) Installation of the off-street guest parking as proposed in the Concept Plan. Minor modifications to the parking are permissible during design plan review with approval by Planning and Knoxville Department of Engineering staff.
11) Installation of all landscaping required by the conditions of zoning and as specified on the landscape plan, and posting a bond or other acceptable guarentee with the Knoxville Department of Engineering to ensure the installation.
