Traffic has become unbearable and it takes forever to get anywhere around here anymore-

Cheryl Sperling

With the demand for more housing ther is no focus on thr infrastructure. Why cant we take a hot minute to stop all the rezoning and focus on the infrastructure? Our local roads, Interstates and by passes are severely congested at hours where traffic was never a problem. We see green space for trees, meadows and farms being sucked up like a slurpee on sale at 7-11. I loved to the Knoxville area because of the rustic yet urban atmosphere and want to preserve that.

This is plan absolutely horrible for the community. The people who have built into this area and have called it home for decades DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. If people want to live in a overcrowded suburb there are plenty go there, the families here want to preserve what little country there is left around here. Don't do this. Vote with the community in mind. I pray you will spend time in prayer about this decision and the devastating impact it would have on our area. Thank you for your time.

The proposed property line for this development connects with my family’s private cemetery. It is around 10 foot past the last row of graves. We have loved ones resting dating back to the 1880s. A lot of the headstones are just a slab of slate rock. I invited you to come and see how this project will effect our cemetery. The cemetery has been in my family all these years without any kind of help from Knox County. Please let our loved ones continue to rest in peace . Please vote NO

Unsupported housing growth w no infrastructure improvements does not work. Increased population without more grocery store options, restaurant options and larger classroom space in elementary, middle and high school bldgs is simply unsustainable...

Rezoning and sticking high density in neighborhoods Ridiculous 5 houses per acre Infrastructure doesn’t support!!!!

Amy Pearson

Traffic has become overwhelming with the new developments currently in place. We do not need or want more development in our small community

Supporter

We do not need any more development in East Knoxville. We can't support what has gone up to date.

This property is protected under the new plan to be Rural Conservation. The property has all kinds of problems to first consider before any rezoning can be considered. The wetlands need to be protected. It is hillside protected. It is right in the middle of single family homes that are 3rd & 4th generation land owners. They knew the zoning when they bought it. They want to take unfair advantage of the community for profit. That is wrong !

I don't understand how this could possibly pass for rezoning since it's currently zoned under hillside ridgetop protection and it has two creeks/wetland area on the property and TVA easement running through the middle of the property. How could that just get rezoned without more studies. Along with the location being so close to Carter Elementary school I honestly believe that even if a traffic study was done while school is in session that there is no way it would pass for 68 houses right there
