This rezoning is not wanted or needed in this area. We have already seen lots of growth in the area, making traffic horrible. Our roads cannot support this growth at this time. Check the traffic study done last year. 6800 cars on Strawberry Plains Pike each day already. Way too much for a two lane road. Please vote no on this rezoning.

Excessive building and not nearly enough infrastrucure to hold this and future developments. Locals are being priced out just to cater to the people moving here! We are being ignored and punished for your actions.

This is right across from my farm.
I moved here 10 years to get away from all the subdivision and traffic.
In last 5 years there has been 5 new subdivision built near my home.
We are destroying what makes East Knoxville special.

I don’t want east Knox County to become like west Knox County. Too crowded.

Our community does not have the infrastructure to support all of these homes and people we have one zoned school for our area and it’s already at capacity not to mention the toll all the traffic is taking on our roads this needs to stop

Iv lived here all my life and you can’t drive down a road or highway hardly anymore without seeing a rezoning sign you say growth is good but all you are doing is driving the cost of living up there is no local jobs that most people here have relied on to make a living paying what it cost to live here anymore it doesn’t feel like home you are stripping every open piece of land away for housing and not putting a penny towards the infrastructure your ruining the carter community

Slow down with all these approvals for rezoning.This one is a bad request. Too many things against this one with that TVA easement, wetlands and hillside protection. Its a nightmare on paper and worse to look at it from Strawberry Plains Pike. Right in the middle of an old neighborhood and would destroy the whole character there. Just a shame to imagine it happening to those folks. Greedy uncaring money hungry developers.

This area has major traffic, school capacity, infrastructure, and quality of life concerns yet this rezoning is being considered as if our objections are background noise. The Carter Community residents are being treated like an obstacle to be managed by the MPC. We are the people who live with the consequences after the developers leave. These greedy developers won't stop until there isn't a single patch of woods left. Stop giving them blank checks to do whatever they want to us.

There has been far too many rezonings in the Carter Community lately. No infrastructure to support it. Please slow down and realize that when the Agriculture land is gone it is gone. Subdivisions can go anywhere but when they are allowed to go right in the neighborhoods they destroy the peace and property value. It is unfair to do that to the people that look to you for protection. Protect the people from the greed of the developers that are swooping in to make profit off everyone they can.

Don't do this to that community. They can't keep taking on thousands more people pouring onto their roads and into their schools.

Land conservation is important. Not everyone wants to live in congested areas and watch our beautiful landscapes disappear

Vote NO to rezoning this property. This request should not be considered. This property has many sensitive ecological issues and is on a very congested dangerous 2 lane pike right next to our already overcrowded elementary school. This community cannot handle increased density in this location.

Once the farmland is developed, it is gone forever. Rezoning this property would ruin the rural characteristics of this area. That would be a travesty against the people, and it also goes directly against the comprehensive plan that we were told was put in place to protect us.

This is not a good idea for so many reasons. Reject this developers attempt to completely change the vision of a whole neighborhood. Protect the property rights of this rural neighborhood because it is the right thing to do.
