We do no need any more housing developments in the area.

This is terrible land to try and put a subdivision on right in the middle of single family homes and farms. This is completely against the character of the neighborhood. Please vote no to this rezoning.

If this development is allowed, then the next step might be annexation into Knox and we lose that small town vibe

Infrastructure is not there
Would cause dangerous traffic congestion
Would destroy the neighborhood

Protect the rights of the neighbors and do not sell out to greedy developers that will destroy the character of the area. Strawberry Plains Pike has had too many developments in such a short amount of time that it must slow down until the infrastructure can catch up. Please see this and vote no on September 21st.

Because this development does not match the character of the area.

Signing for all of Knox County I live in South Knoxville and it’s ridiculous. The growth that’s going on with no improvement in our infrastructure.

This type of soil will ruin all the wells around it if it is developed. They will have to blast out rock and dig deep to put in sewage lines that will forever ruin all the wells that those people depend on. Please side with the people not the developer. He is using his greed to destroy that neighborhood.

Why do the MPC commissioners keep approving land that is unsuitable for subdivision developments? The public trust is gone and we think that they are all paid off behind the scenes. It is sickening to watch them smile and back each other up knowing what they are doing to communities. Just plain wrong!

Too much being built, too fast, not enough thought to infrastructure & support services. Our quality of life is being destroyed

The building is bringing outsiders into our county and the roads and schools are overloaded. Bad traffic with constant road work. People who are natives here can’t afford to rent a home or apt. Taking farm land.

Enough is enough! We used to live out in the country but looks more like New York City now.

Our community is already overflowing and we can't sustain more development. Please stop this rezoning of this historic site and in the surrounding areas.

This new development will do nothing for the community except increase traffic an strain existing resources. Roads cannot be widened. We do not need more housing.

My family has lived in the area of this proposed subdivision development for over sixty five years and they are old and very upset now. My community is being destroyed right in front of us. Why? There are plenty of places that are not in the middle of a neighborhood like this one that will not have the detrimental effects that this will have on everyone around it. This is a bad plan. Bad because that land will be almost impossible to build even one house per acre on let alone a subdivision.

We moved our family to the East side for the rural experience we grew up with. The congestion is creeping in. The woods and natural areas are being bulldozed for bland condos. Stop this. Don’t do this to our beautiful countryside. Please. Thank you.

Conservation must be upheld. That’s literally the whole point of it. There are other options for the land use here, rather than bogging down an already overburdened area with even more shotty built housing for $400K. As a community, as a county, we can’t keep putting the cart before the horse. At some point, we have to use common sense and just stop. People who have lived here their whole lives didn’t want to live in a densely populated/bustling area, otherwise we would have moved to one.
