Three of the parcels are located in Knox County, Tennessee, and each of the parcels features access and frontage to Watt Road. Watt Road is the primary north-south thoroughfare to this interchange area and it provides easy access to Kingston Pike (Highway 70) to the south. Kingston Pike is the primary east/west thoroughfare for west Knoxville and serves as the center for retail, office, and commercial development for the west county sector. The remaining four parcels are all located west of the Knox County parcels in Loudon County, Tennessee. Three of these parcels feature frontage and access via Hickory Creek Road. The remaining parcel is situated between one of the Loudon County tracts and one of the Knox County tracts, but is isolated from any direct road frontage or access. Hickory Creek Road is a rural, two-lane asphalt paved road with a low traffic volume. It runs in a northeast-southwest from Watt Road to Highway 321 in Lenoir City, Tennessee, some 6.5 miles southwest of the subject area. Highway 321 serves as the primary commercial corridor of Lenoir City. The neighborhood is bisected in an east-west direction by Interstate 40/75, providing convenient access to Lenoir City and the downtown Knoxville area, as well as the east and north Knox County sectors. Interstate 40/75 splits into I-40 east and I-75 north in the downtown area. Interstate 40/75 had a daily traffic volume of approximately 137,000 vehicles per day through the subject neighborhood in 2002. www.WattRoad.com Office 713-828-1751 Fax 832-201-0337 Palmer Group 2832 N. Peach Hollow Circle Pearland, Texas 77584 DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE Development along the Watt Road interchange is predominately targeted toward the transient nature of this location, primarily truck transportation. Three of the four quadrants surrounding the interchange are improved with truck stop service plazas that encompass fuel sales, restaurants, showers, drivers’ lounges, truck parking, etc. Additionally, there are some newer commercial and light industrial facilities within the southwest quadrant of this interchange. Steep topography and limited availability of utilities has precluded large-scale development of the northwest quadrant of this interchange, but a truck oil change facility, a truck wash facility, and some light industrial and commercial uses do reside in this quadrant, as well. Land uses north of the interstate are primarily rural residential, with recent land sales occurring that are indicative of future residential development. Suburban residential development is the primary land use south of the subject both along Watt Road and Kingston Pike. The community surrounding the Watt Road/Kingston Pike interchange is known as the Dixie Lee Junction area. The junction is formed by the merger of U.S. Highway 11 and U.S. Highway 70 generally between Lenoir City and Farragut. In past years the area was sparsely developed, however, expanding growth from the West Knoxville and Farragut areas is apparent and both commercial and residential development of this area is on the rise. The Avalon development is a recently developed upscale single-family and condominium golf course community located in Loudon County along U.S. Highway 70 approximately one mile west of Dixie Lee Junction. www.WattRoad.com Office 713-828-1751 Fax 832-201-0337 Palmer Group 2832 N.
