Hello my name is Courtney Key and I live in Mascot, Tennessee. Originally from the Powell area which is closer to the city of Knoxville I could not wait to move out here and experience what living in the country was like. I know that I don’t live in straw plains but I am still apart of this community and this particular area wanting to build a mega subdivision is very close to my home. Since I live so close I travel this area quite often. My husband and I love our community because of the slower paced, quiet and rural lifestyle. You can’t experience these things living closer to Knoxville which is why we moved out here. I fear for the day this area becomes too built up and brings with it a ton of traffic killing our way of life out here. Bringing in all this new traffic would really take away from the peaceful, quiet slow paced lifestyle that we all know and love out here. Not only that but the massive size of this project takes away from the beautiful land. I hope you will consider how the massive size of this project would affect the life of this community and the reason everyone loves living out here. Lastly please consider making this a smaller project, thank you.

482 new houses on Ruggles Ferry Rd would put way to much traffic on a already busy road. People built new houses in this community because of its scenic beauty and this housing development would destroy it. Please VOTE no on this request.
