Several Dollar Generals are already in this area. Another is not wanted or needed.

Will make traffic congestion worse and less safe. These roads do not support increased traffic. Let's keep this area residential.

We live in a beautiful and safe development. We must keep it that way.

This is a residential area and should not at any point be considered for commercial expansion. The roads cannot handle the added traffic, nor do we need more greenery turned into blacktop. If someone really wants to open a dollar general, go find one of the dozens of abandoned retail structures throughout Knoxville.

Please do not allow this re-zoning to take place. It will bring greater traffic to our community which will in turn cause more accidents. The needed road improvements will cost our county money for an unwanted store. There is one right down the block at the corner of Dry Gap and E. Emory rd. Once this store goes out of business because no one will use it, our community will be left with a vacant building which will degrade our community and county. There will then be increased costs due to the newly needed police presence because of the people that the vacant building will attract. Please DO NOT allow this re-zoning.

This world does not need another dollar store!! We do not want this element brought to our neighborhood. The properties will be devalued. Light and noise pollution will disrupt our peaceful neighborhood. Where Dollar General goes, crime rates increase as they draw specific demographic types. It can't even be said that they provide meaningful jobs as they employ very few people, often with only one person in I store at a time.
Within a 5 minute drive of this location, there are at least 4 dollar stores, with a Dollar General market less than 2 miles away.
Please help stop the blight of blind construction of a useless and unwanted business. It is not progress.

This will create a safety and security hazard to our community. There is currently dollar general stores within one mile of this location. Once this land is re-zoned, the overall security of our community will be negatively impacted be excessive traffic causing the safety hazard and our security will diminish as more people will increase the threat and possibility of violence. This SHOULD NOT be allowed to move forward in this area.

There’s a dollar general market on Emory road and a dollar general store on merchants, both less than 5 minutes away. This is a residential area, not interested in businesses going in and bringing in more traffic. Our subdivision has recently had problems with car break ins, putting in a dollar general would only increase crime in the area.

We moved into this community for the peaceful nature of the area and the family community. I fear the increase of traffic with commercial property so close to our homes, would put our kids and neighbors who use pedestrian common areas, in increased danger of getting hit by a car as the traffic on the area will significantly increase. It will no longer be a safe place for families. As well as a concern over the environmental effects if we turn over much of the land to commercial use, when there are plenty of commercial stores off Main roads not within 3-5 miles of our neighborhood already. Pease do not allow this to approve. As a resident of Sterchi Hills my family and I greatly oppose this proposal.

We already have two within 2 miles. Do not need another and this area cannot handle additional traffic!

We do not need this in our neighborhood. There are other stores within a five minute drive. Commercial retail in close proximity would increase our traffic, increase crime and devalue our property.

The roads at the Dante, Dry Gap and Fountain City area cannot stand more traffic. This is a residential area and stories will only increase the traffic but crime as well. Please say NO to this project. There are already 2 Dollar (like) stories with a mile or so of the proposed site.
