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.

COMMENTS:

The applicant is proposing to close a portion of Ely Av. and Stonewall St. Since the proposed closure does not include all of Ely Av., traffic circulation will have to be maintained on that street. The applicant is proposing to construct a hammer head turn around at the end of Ely Av. This will allow traffic the opportunity travel the full length of the remaining street.

The Knox County Air Quality Management Department on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has requested that closure of the proposed rights-of-way, and ultimately the construction of the proposed turn around, be delayed until such time that an alternative site for the existing air quality monitor can be found and the equipment relocated.

MPC's approval or denial of this request is final, unless the action is appealed to Knox County Chancery Court. The date of the Knox County Chancery Court appeal hearing will depend on when the appeal application is filed.

ESTIMATED TRAFFIC IMPACT: Not calculated.
