Lexus and Toyota of Knoxville, Knoxville, TN

View Plans
Site design for Toyota and Lexus of Knoxville on a 10 acre parcel of land fronting Parkside Road and I-40 in west Knoxville. This site includes parking for over 800 vehicles. A key component of the design was to maximize highly visible and readily accessible vehicle display parking while meeting the City of Knoxville’s relatively strict ordinances. Close coordination with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) and the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) was required due to the site being divided by a blue water tributary to Turkey Creek and the grading needed on the Interstate right-of-way. In addition, the site drainage was designed to comply with the City of Knoxville’s stringent stormwater ordinance. Drainage from the Toyota site is directed to a 65′ x 125′ x 6′ deep underground concrete vault for stormwater detention. This is the largest, and one of only a few, underground detention structures permitted by the City of Knoxville. A specific stormwater maintenance agreement for this underground detention structure was crafted by LDS to the Owner’s and City’s satisfaction. A special pollution abatement permit was also required by the City due the proposed use of the site and large parking area. The Lexus site utilizes a more traditional surface detention basin.

View Plans
Provided site planning, layout, grading, drainage and utilities design for the 11 acre site which includes 134 luxury condominiums and a clubhouse in two 5 story buildings, 15 log cabin sites and a log cabin registration and pool facility. The site which adjoins the Gatlinburg Municipal Golf Course, provided a considerable challenge in accessing the main condominium level which is approximately 130 feet higher than Dollywood Lane on which the site fronts. The design incorporated a serpentine access drive, terracing of portions of the site using block faced segmental retaining walls up to 25 feet in height, and a parking garage level to allow the first floor condominiums to be elevated up to the golf course ground level.
