The revised plan provided by the developer has failed to address the concerns of our South Knoxville community. There is no public north south passage, there is no ground level accommodation for retail and the size of the development exceeds the spirit of the SWFBC. The refusal of the developers to engage with the community does not bode well for future integration into the wider community. For all practical purposes this development will be a gated community. By allowing this development to move forward will encourage other developers to ignore the SWFBC. I understand that South Knoxville is not represented on the PC but I am hopeful the members of the PC will consider the wishes of the residents and deny this development as submitted.
