Sevierville Master Plan

MASTER PLAN W O R K S H O P - -Sevierville, Tennessee January 4-7 2021

On January 4th, 2021, a team comprised of land owner’s, investors, and
design professionals assembled in Kodak, TN to review the promise and
potential of developing a 270 acre parcel located off of Highway 66 within the
city limits of Sevierville, TN. The property is owned by the Frizzell family who is
well regarded for their construction and development exploits throughout the
region. Fugleberg Koch (Architects) and S & ME (Civil Engineers, Landscape
Architects, & Planners) were contacted to assist the Frizzell’s with a master
planning effort that would study the best potential uses of the land as well as
assist with the development strategy that would gain future investor interest.

The Frizzell family has owned the land since 1992. Over the years, several
efforts have been made to initiate a project that would bring prominence to the
region. Recently, the family was introduced to Rivercross Sports LLC who is
teamed up with The Phast Group as an interested party in developing an 80
acre portion of the land for a state-of-the art sporting complex. Ben Frizzell III
had provided the team with an early study of the land that included the sports
complex, resorts, restaurants, retail and resort residential opportunities. This
plan was presented to the design professionals as a guide for consideration of
the design, development and operations of the proposed campus to assure all
elements of the enterprise were thoughtfully employed with the product design
and site placement. A three day workshop ensued where the assembled
parties participated in a collaborative process to arrive at a solution that could
best represent the intiatives of the Frizzell’s and their investors.

The 270 acre parcel is situated in the small township of Kodak, TN. The
property is located on North Highway 66 and is minutes from Exit 407 on
I-40 where there are some established shops and restaurants. It is also
located within minutes of the vacation destination town of Pigeon Forge,
TN. Directly across the street is a prominent and often visited retail outlet
called Knifeworks. The shop is very popular among locals and tourists. It
is estimated that over 2 million guests visit the retail outfit annually.

A new signal is planned between the 270 acre parcel and the adjacent
Knifeworks store which will provide an additional 6 lanes of ingress/egress
traffic for the development. The site is poised for easy access and connects
established points of interest. This allows for significant exposure and the
potential for year round revenue.

Site

The 270 acres is a beautiful property with
a range of topographical and other natural
features rare to be found in such a large
contiguous parcel. There is over a mile of
frontage on the French Broad River, 360
degree long range mountain views from an
elevated knoll, rolling hills, rocky bluffs, and
an assortment of evergreens found on site.
The team visited the property and found many
natural advantages could be incorporated
into the planned development. Some of
the challenges presented during the review
include the amount of rock that could exist
on site and the drastic elevation changes
that exist throughout. In addition, an existing
railroad “valley” includes slopes that would
need to be mitigated. Further investigation
of the topography shows a depression in
the center of the site and flat areas to the
East. Overlaying the initial plan presented by
Ownership illuminates the need to mitigate
roughly 1.4 million cubic yards of grade.
When planning a site of this magnitude, cost
associated with grade management is a major
consideration as well as the implementation
of the infrastructure.

Further site complications arise from the
necessity of an archeological study. The region
was home to the Cherokee Nation and the
adjacent property owner discovered artifacts
of the ancient society during development.
Based on the proximity to that site, the Civil
engineer cautioned this site would need to
be inspected and the process could cause
delays in the timeline of the development.
Tree mitigation was not a concern and there
is no issue with regard to the flood plain and
proximity to the river.

The team first analyzed the guided solution
provided by Ben Frizzell III. The vision for this
land was described in detail as a place where
families and people of all ages could enjoy
a multitude of activities that were unique to
the area but also complimented the regional
influences. There had been several attempts
made to develop the land in previous years
but none panned out to be the correct fit. A
feasibility study was done which justified the
implementation of themed entertainment,
sporting activity, retail and restaurants. The
goal is to provide a community that keeps
guests on site for the duration of their stay.

The Frizzell’s hope to lease parcels of land
as a phased development in order to main-
tain more control. They plan to do some of
the development themselves but will look to
interested investors to pursue the larger par-
cels as opportunities. The hope is to build
the site out over 5-10 years and seek long
term lease agreements to anchor the de-
velopment. There are also opportunities to
seek local support from the City and state if
the development were to provide a means
for workforce housing. Offsetting or sharing
some of the costs for infrastructure is desired
and could accelerate the process for devel-
opment.

The first 80 acres will be devoted to the sports complex
developed by Rivercross Sports LLC and The Phast
Group. The mission is to provide a state-of-the-art facility
that is best in class and offers amenities and programs
not found amongst the local competition. The program
consists of (8) baseball diamond fields, (6) multi-puropose
fields, concessions, space for retail, maintenance facilities
and a future indoor sporting facility. The complex will host
competitive baseball tournaments, softball tournaments,
soccer, football, lacrosse, and other competitive sports for
year round use. The indoor sporting facility will host indoor
sports such as basketball, gymnastics, dance, cheer,
volleyball, and wrestling competitions. No other venue in
the area can accommodate such an array of events.

Analyzing the data collected indicates the region will
benefit greatly from a sporting facility of this caliber and
because these events will draw large crowds of families
and friends, the demand for hospitality, food & beverage
and entertainment will be there. The design team agrees
this is a sound strategy to initiate the development.

KEY POINTS
• Phased development relates to the concept of multiple
districts facilitating interaction with each other.
• Districts or Villages may be accessed individually without
interrupting normal operations of initial phase(s).
• The road pattern favors flexibility of access and
operations.
• Development favors working with natural topography
as much as possible to minimize construction cost
and maximize the enjoyment of the existing natural
environment.
• The natural environment of this site is its greatest asset.
• We acknowledge the many opportunities available by
considering river related activities and access to nearby
attractions.
• The sheer size, scope and thematic approach of this
development may position it as a distinctive local landmark
of exceptional regional influence.
• The mix of memorable experiential offerings from sports
to entertainment and hospitality combined with the natural
beauty of the site creates an outstanding point of distinction
from other local and regional attractions in this market.

Bringing it together

10 The productive and informative workshop provided the
9 design team with the tools necessary to advance a solution
that embraced the contributions of all the participants. Plans
8 “A-C” were combined to take advantage of the elements
12 found to be most important to the group. The guided solution
utilizes the “Main Street” and “Hub & Spoke” planning effort
76 to interconnect various components for a comprehensive
5 themed entertainment, F&B, Retail, Hospitality and Sporting
mixed-use development. Pedestrian scale and access
13 is layered throughout while roadways provide attractive
passage to each point of interest. View corridors frame
natural amenity connecting the community to the regional
fabric. Additionally, grade management was thoughtfully
considered to lessen the impact on “first costs” as well
as provide the foundation to implement the sports fields
for maximum functionality. Every decision represented
in the graphic plan responds to collaborative information
necessary to deliver a place that generates memories of
unique experiences only found in Eastern Tennessee.

Three groups were formed during the workshop in an effort to seek proposals on how the development could best PLAN A
be strategized. Members of the design team worked with Ownership, the sports developer and financial advisors
to analyze the site based on the objectives of the Owner and the anchor sporting development. (3) schemes were
derived, looking at unique possibilities to provide the most comprehensive plan.
Plan ‘A’, analyzed the development by integrating the sports park within the masterplan. The sports complex was
arranged to best utilize the existing grades. This would mitigate the amount of ‘cut and fill’ necessary. The focus was
primarily on the initial 80 acres. The sporting venue was organized for central parking for each specific venue and
directing a single point of entry. Future development phases were represented in a counterclockwise fashion taking
advantage of the most valued view oriented parcels. Emphasis on a riverfront promenade was also expressed. Ideas
placing less distance internally between elements were demonstrated through the use of interconnected roadways
and pedestrian pathways.

Plan ‘B’, placed emphasis on the “Main Street” as a central retail and site organizing feature. The ability to close off
the street and present a thoroughfare for pedestrian movement was expressed. Additionally, the plan explored the
use of the “hub and spoke” arrangement of interconnectivity between various districts of the development. Roadways
& walkways were arranged for direct access to a riverfront dinning district, a resort residential & hospitality district,
a sporting complex district, and a retail mixed use district fronting Highway 66. The Riverfront incorporated anchor
entertainment venues such as Top Golf to promote a level of sophistication and quality of entertainment the site would
seek to promote. Restaurants, retail and pedestrian access are emphasized in this area as well. The resorts were
fashioned to capitalize on the natural grade elevations for valued view corridors of the surrounding environment. The
sporting complex arrangement emphasized separate parking for the baseball fields, multi-purpose fields and indoor
recreation facility while allowing direct & controlled access to each venue. A central mall was incorporated into the
baseball area responding to the desire for centralized retail, F & B and amenity space that would support its function.
Maintenance buildings were also added recognizing the importance of the support facilities required. Landscape
elements were gestured to shed views of these facilities while access was shown to demonstrate a thoughtful flow
for efficiency.

Plan ‘C’, sought to use the initial plan provided by ownership without the use of the “loop” road as a main means of PLAN B
organization. The “Main street” concept was expressed as the central entry to the overall site leading to a focused
feature node where roadways and walkways radiated from to various organized sectors of use. These areas were PLAN C
fashioned to complement each other but allowed distinct functions to occur. The use of an entertainment district
was introduced while resort residential and hospitality were seen as major anchors along the riverfront. These areas
were connected by a significant riverfront promenade. Top Golf, riverfront dinning and a riverfront ferry landing were
demonstrated as significant features to draw activity. The resort sector focused on (3) main hospitality venues, the
Waterpark Resort, the Riverfront Bluff Resort and the Resort Residential community. Each was oriented to take
advantage of the best views and best use of the natural topography. The sporting complex was placed as a central
focused venue on the site. From the center feature on Main Street, the sporting complex could be accessed from
roadways and pedestrian walks that connected an “Olympic village” supporting the activity hosted by this venue.
Prominence was placed on the existing historical cemetery on site and was expressed as a park element softening
the flow between the retail components, village and entry to the sporting venue. The baseball fields and multi-purpose
fields were shown utilizing the center mall as a gathering place while separate parking and controlled entry was
emphasized to add distinction between hosted activities. The indoor sporting facility is used as a signature feature
lining the secondary access to the site from Highway 66 with ground level retail while providing a point of reference to
the remaining development. Liner buildings were shown along the frontage of Highway 66 to take advantage of the
significant traffic flow found there. These structures are promoted as marketing elements drawing interest to the site.

When developing a comprehensive masterplan, it is important to consider the
standards to which the development should adhere. In an effort to frame a platform
of distinction for the design proposal, an exercise was conducted during the
workshop to determine the best descriptive that would assist in determining how
the components of the development could be defined. The group was divided into
teams and asked to submit five adjectives or descriptive phrases for the following
categories: Overall master planned development, Combined indoor and outdoor
sports complex, Riverfront development, Resort residential, and Commercial
Highway frontage development. These phrases and descriptive were gathered to
identify what the unique selling proposition of the complex could or would be. Overall
emphasis was placed on family togetherness, inviting and comforting places, unique
regional experiences, best-in-class accommodations and amenities, state-of-the-
art sporting facilities, environmentally responsible development, and all-inclusive
community. Inspirational imagery was also reviewed drawing conclusions on the
look and feel the community should embrace. The combination of these exercises
assisted the design professionals to draw some conclusions on the direction the
masterplan would take.

Open Space & Pedestrian System

The Landing’s 1-mile of frontage on the French Broad River features an 8-acre park passive park with canoe/kayaking,
interactive kiosks, waterfront restaurants and entertainment venues. Across the river, hotel guests and those visiting the
retail village park will experience an evening light show integrated into the 300-foot shoreline bluff.

The riverfront park and village are the anchor of a 2-mile pedestrian route which follows along the waterfront, passes
through the sports venue and returns to the village and park. The looped system will be comprised of 10’ – 14’ pathways
and will provide access to other areas of the development via shaded 8’ walking paths along the development’s street
network.

Central to the site is The Ellis Overlook; a garden park atop a 100’ high knoll. A walkway, beginning at the base of the
park follows a circular route to the top where a promenade with viewing areas overlooks the entire Landings site and the
distant, surrounding mountains. At the heart of the park is a small green which is the Ellis Family plot. Interpretive signage
will tell the story of the family, the history and the land.

In an effort to differentiate the Landing from other similar properties with retail and commercial uses along SR 66, a
landscaped environment with a wide pedestrian pathway, extensive landscaping and a strormwater bioswale will provide
not only an inviting pedestrian experience but also add to the landscape treatment of the highway which is lacking in
many places along the corridor. The landscape will feature materials which enhance the parcels fronting the road while
still allowing visibility into the activities and architecture of the Landing.

Village Complete Street

The heart of the Landing is the pedestrian scaled mixed use village
featuring local businesses and national retailers in the ground floor
spaces. The streetscape will be a “complete Street” in which pedestrian
safety and comfort are prioritized over that of vehicles. Broad sidewalks
of 15’ – 20’ with street trees and planters will accommodate pedestrians,
outdoor dining and displays. The streets of the village will be curbless
allowing maximum flexibility for outdoor dining, festivals and other
activities.

During special events and festivals, one or both of the two village streets
can be closed for events without impeding vehicular circulation within
the Landings. Angled parking and parallel parking will be positioned
along the sidewalks and landscaped medians will divide the one-way
travel lanes. The on-street parking will be supported by paseos to
access larger off-street parking areas.

Behind the buildings and provide convenient access to the fronts of
the commercial buildings for visitors. The paseos will accommodate
outdoor dining, small performance areas and provide larger storefronts
with greater exposure to passersby.

Minimum frontage 40 feet The City of Sevierville uses the Tennessee Permanent Stormwater Management and Design
Manual prepared by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) to
Minimum lot width Not applicable meet post-construction stormwater requirements. Under this manual, the design standards for
all new development and redevelopment require management measures that are designed, built,
Minimum floor area per dwelling unit Not applicable and maintained to infiltrate, evapotranspire, harvest and/or reuse, at a minimum, the first inch of
every rainfall event preceded by 72 hours of no measurable precipitation. However, there is also
Maximum building coverage (% of lot area) Not applicable appreciation that local soil conditions can make this difficult and developments are allowed to revert to
80% Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal instead if such conditions are indicated.
Maximum gross unit density 21 acres
Maximum height The post-development peak stormwater runoff rates must be attenuated to no greater than existing
110 feet for buildings; conditions for the 1, 2, 5, 10 and 25-year 24-hour storm events (see Ordinance No. O-2012-010
Minimum front yard setback 44 feet for structures other than buildings included in Appendix V).
