I am opposed to this change in zoning. My home is across the street from this location and I prefer that the neighborhood remain zoned RN1 to maintain traffic expectations, home values, and low density historical settings without exceptions for 2-dwelling units, available under RN2 zoning, in the neighborhood.
I've lived in the Knoxville area for over 15 years and I have seen a lot of development going on lately. Although development is necessary and convenient for cities around our country, I believe that there should be a stop on the unnecessary construction of subdivisions where our local flora and fauna are at risk. What attracted me and my family to this area was the beautiful landscapes and the friendly people of Knoxville as opposite to cities where many people live in small places and the increased traffic brings stress and sometimes unnecessary situations onto our every day lives. As a resident of the great city of Knoxville and a person who enjoys green spaces and the beautiful sound of birds, I opposed to this never ending and indiscriminate construction of communities in lots where there shouldn't be no more than three or four homes maximum. I believe we have the right to live in places where we feel safe and in peace. Thank you for your time.
