Petition is AGAINST the development of 0 Strawberry Plains Pike Knoxville, TN 37924 near Carter Elementary and McCubbins Road Rezoning 7-F-26-RZ

Bret Eady

Why in the world should we continue to subdivide and cut up more and more properties? So that speculative investors can gut communities and make money hand over fist. There's no thought to long term planning, no motive other than greed. Strike this down.

J Schuler

Land zoned Rural Conservation and Hillside Ridgetop Protection should not be rezoned to residential! Please respect previous land studies in this area and deny this rezoning!

Supporter

Our schools are not able to handle the influx, roads are way too bad & the traffic is bad now.

Crissy Waldrip

Too much growth in this area, and too fast.

Kimberly Colley

People want to live here because they like the small town feel and the mountains, but if they keep building homes there will not be a small town nor any mountains left... it will all be the big city you want to get away from now! We NEED green spaces to keep our earth healthy and thus ourselves healthy! STOP BUILDING JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE THE SMALLEST SPECK OF LAND!!!

Dixie Halverson

This isn't only happening there but all over East Tennessee. Rural areas are being turned into housing developments/apts./condos. All the beauty that is East Tennessee is being bulldozed. Didn't we learn anything from when they over developed West Knoxville?! It has to stop

This property borders my family cemetery and my property is just through the woods. The property has creeks and is hillside protected . The elementary school is directly across the rd wirh traffic backups daily.

#1 If y'all keep rezoning arable FARMLAND and zoning out cattle & livestock grazing, what are y'all/we going to eat? Our food DOESN'T just come from the store, ya know! #2 Our current roads & infrastructure can't sustain any more large scale housing & apartments and who's going buy/rent them; especially at the prices currently being charged! Or is this so y'all can sneak in a few more data centers? We don't want them either! Get your developers to help clean up our rivers & streams instead!

Stephanie Palmer

We can not handle any more traffic yet alone all the wild life you keep trying to push out of their home land. Leave things alone..

Brenda Lewis

There are several apartments,condos and subdivision that have gone in within less than 5 miles of my Condo Community. The roads are over crowded.

Paula Wright

There is more traffic on the roads than previous years. Adding homes without a traffic control plan is dangerous.

Linda Thomas

My family is buried in that cemetery and I am truly fearful that anything done around the area will likely be harmful to the historical cemetery. We also don't have the roads to support that many more families. Traffic is horrible on Strawberry Plains Pike already with the elementary school traffic. There will be lots of accidents trying to pull out of that neighborhood. Please stop and DON'T vote yes to this rezoning. This is not the area for this. Leave the preservation in place.

Anna Bell Hensley

Signed. We have too many houses around here now

Andrea Bush

Because we are sick of development and the beautiful land around and in Knoxville getting taken up by apartments. This is not New York. We have NO desire to be New York. Everything that made Knoxville beautiful is disappearing. And if you continue to allow it to happen, the people who loved Knoxville's beauty will LEAVE it,

Supporter

The traffic in Knoxville has become unbearable because of the unprecedented population growth that been allowed to happen without the infrastructure to support it. This population growth is also harming the character of our local communities. It needs to stop.

Leigh Stanifer

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.

Donna smartnick

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.

Kelly Crenshaw

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

Scott Robertson

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...
