The infrastructure will not support 194 dwellings. Pleasant Hill Rd is not wide enough to accommodate the amount of traffic this would create plus since is so close to Carter HS this road is used for kids walking to school.

I respectfully request that the zoning hold remain in place. Our community deserves the same level of thoughtful planning and long-range consideration that areas like West Knoxville by pausing large developments for the community to sustain long term growth . Rushing this process risks creating long-term issues that could be avoided with proper evaluation, infrastructure planning, and genuine community input.

We are simply asking for patience and the chance to ensure that growth is done responsibly, sustainably, and in a way that protects the character and safety of our area. Waiting now will prevent bigger problems later.

Thank you for your attention and commitment to making decisions that support the best interests of our community.

My mother in law owns a home not far from here off Thornhrove Pike and I own a home in Corryton inside Knox county. As an engineer, I believe there needs to be a series of traffic impact studies fully funded by this developer before we let them further overcrowd our already stressed roadway system. I think the results would clearly show that the surrounding roadways cannot support the increase in traffic. All over Knoxville congestion is a major problem because our streets were never designed for the population growth we have already seen post Covid. It is foolish to continue to allow dense retail centers with low wage jobs and high density apartment complexes with very high rent to take over this town. Working class people are being priced out of the very place they grew up and its not right! We need more affordable single family housing and regulations to prevent private equity firms from capitalizing on them to the detriment of working class folks! Thank you Adam Thompson for voting NO against this rezoning! Keep this area agricultural for now and let a builder like Worley rezone it for affordable houses like they build in Stonewood Creek!
