Knox County has set aside East Knoxville for the preservation of farmland and protection of wildlife. What is the EPA and TVA response to the impact of mass development to the natural resources of the area?

Being a Realtor in the community I do need more homes to sell, but small lots are not what I hear customers are looking to purchase!
The locals and all the out of town buyers that are moving to East Tennessee are asking me to find them homes on 1 acre++
I sold 14 homes in this neighborhood in 2020 and all were on 1 acre ++
There is a way to honor the community and the ancestors of this farm land community.
Have you all considered an agrihood?
What about a Liveonafarm agrihood community with a pavilion for a CSA Farmers Market and a community garden? The new model of living that is popping up across the country taps into the local food movement.
This plan is absurd & I strongly disagree with it. I don't see how our roads and schools could manage an influx of housing & people of this magnitude in one isolated area, not to mention the impact that construction for that length of time could cause. We are a small rural community and one whose majority of members moved to and/or grew up enjoying the area BECAUSE of its lack of crowding and loss of natural landscape caused by massive neighborhood developments, such as this. I hope that the committee listens to the people that this will impact and denies the plan.
