Industrial mixed used is great, but multi family rentals is not what this neighborhood needs. Based on community interactions that I have had, I recognize that people want homeowners; individuals who have a vested interest in the community. Renters often do not have this attachment, and do not represent the wishes of the community in both aesthetics and local integrity.

I'm actually familiar with the builder, and am also cognizant of the needs of rental properties to accommodate the expanding population. But low effort multi family homes are not the solution. Over the last 5 years I have seen this area grow into a really great community that is respecting the land and each other. I have identified this as the property owners efforts and wishes.

I hope you are doing well. I am writing in concer over the expansion of Vulcan. I live in Hickory Meadows subdivision and my home between purchase price and improvements is pushing 500,000.00 in investment. There are roughly 100 houses in this subdivision alone. That is potential of 50,000,000.00 in economic damage just to home owners, which no one can afford. Add in the reduction of property tax revenue and other financial damages. It will reduce/destroy air quality, my house is a year old and is caked with dust. Can't imagine how much worse it will get. Silica is lung damaging, causing a host of severe medical issues from lung cancer to COPD. Simply put, Knox County has grown to much to keep a health and property risk such as Vulcan running much less allowing them to expand. Farragut and Hardin Valley are two of the most affluent parts of Knox County. Significant invest from the state, county, businesses and home owners will be eliminated by the destruction this will cause to our communities. We beg this not be permitted to proceed. Thank you.

The noise and disturbance this church already creates is bad enough. I am opposed to the expansion. Plus there are 5 other churches within walking distance of this one.
