1. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting any other relevant requirements 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. Details of the proposed realignment of Nubbin Ridge Rd. to be worked out with the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works during the design plan stage of the subdivision. This also includes the purchase of that portion of the property to the east that is crossed by the new road alignment.
4. Obtaining street closure approval of Knox County Commission for the portion of Nubbin Ridge eliminated by the realignment and identified as a portion of the proposed subdivision.
5. Identifying the two depression/sinkhole features, including a 50 building setback from the top of the closed contour areas, on a revised concept plan and the final plat.
6. Adding a note on the final plat that if any building construction is proposed within the 50' setback area around the sinkholes, a geotechnical report must be prepared by a registered engineer to determine soil stability and that report must submitted to the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works for consideration. Any construction in the setback area is subject to approval by the County following review of the report. Engineered footings may be required for these areas. If it is determined by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation that either feature is not a sinkhole, conditions 5 and 6 would not apply to that feature.
7. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
8. Meeting all applicable requirements and obtaining all required permits from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation
9. Placing a note on the final plat that all lots will have access from the internal road system only.
