This has already caused significant disruption in our residential neighborhood, with large tractor trailers, trucks, and other heavy-load vehicles traversing our area from both Strawberry Plains Pike and Gov John Sevier. The property owner has been operating for a year without going through the proper channels to get approval. They've even lied on their application, claiming minimal traffic when, in reality, traffic has increased dramatically, causing damage to our roads. The secondary roads, which are not marked, are now being used by these large vehicles at high speeds, cutting through people's properties because they cannot make proper 90° turns due to their size. This is simply not the appropriate location for a mulching business. These large trucks are damaging the Knox County residential roads, creating large potholes because they just canât handle the weight and posing a safety risk with no fire hydrant near the property. The presence of tractor trailers, box trucks, and flatbeds navigating our small, winding, secondary roads is dangerous for everyone.

This has created a huge traffic issue. My daughters use this route to get to a baby sitting job and have a hard time getting thru. Itâs unsafe most days. Please do not allow.

Please consider denying this request. The area infrastructure cannot handle a housing development of this size. This will put significant strain on schools, roads and utilities, especially the water district.

Our roads, schools, police force, EMT, and overall infrastructure are not equipped to handle this much development in the area. I am totally against this development on Roberts Road!

There is absolutely no way that our roads or schools can handle any more subdivisions being built. I have lived here my entire life and traffic is the worst its ever been. Corryton doesnt need anymore homes built. Look online - there are plenty listed for sale.

My wife and I would like to make a comment that we are not interested in a Smithbilt neighborhood being built in this area. Smithbilt did not engage with local community to even see if there was interest. Because they know we do not want it here. Our community is tired of the over saturation of people in the area. There are already to many people here. Build your neighborhoods somewhere else. Please block this from happening

It is time we stood together and protect our community!!!! This area in Corryton is or was a nice rural area now with all these people buying our precious land that has changed!!!! I ask what have we benefited from this???? Crowded roads over flowing schools heavy traffic the quiet and peace !!!! STOP the builders from taking over!!!!!!!
