I am very opposed to this type of development in our neighborhood. The traffic at this intersection is already terrible on a good day. As TDOT has not finished the Alcoa Highway project, this will greatly increase the risk and likelihood for more crashes in the area. At present, Maloney Road is not truly able to handle the traffic increase. Additionally, the noise will increase from increased car traffic on an already over saturated road.

Property owner off Maloney Rd. since 1976. I purchased this property specifically to live in the county to avoid high city taxes and in an area zoned for single family dwelling. I am in opposition to any rezoning of the Maloney Rd. area. In my opinion, rezoning will forever change our quite community from a rural to inner city environment. Maloney Road traffic increased significantly with the building of Sevier Heights church. An apartment complex will bring additional traffic making it extremely difficult for local residents to leave and enter their homes. In addition, Mount Olive School, (a historic site) cannot handle the possible overload of students and may require busing to Boney Kate and other area locations. We experience a natural run-off from heavy rains that flood my neighbor's driveway joining the back side of my property from Jonathan Way. The water naturally flows South to the coulter sack and turns along side my property to Maloney Road where it continues through a small culvert underneath Maloney, eventually dumping into Ft. Loudon lake. The culvert will not handle heavy rains and at times the water level will rise to approximately 6 ft. crossing my drive way entrance from Maloney Road. I can continue with many more reasons to oppose this project are any other project that will change the graphics of our neighbor. For the sake of gravity, I will stop here.

67 people were at the meeting at Mt. Olive Church to oppose construction of. 200-300 apt. Unit building. Maloney Rd can’t handle traffic. One lane train underpass at the other end of Maloney gets extremely backed up certain times of day already with current traffic. KAT buses were mentioned several times which can bring any type person from any part of town to a residential and currently safe neighborhood.

I looked at the proposed drawing for the 294 units on Maloney Road here in South Knoxville, and am more than concerned at the possible impact to our zoned elementary school, Mount Olive. We have not yet begun to feel the effects of the subdivision on Maryville Pike (across from Dara's Garden) and cannot imagine what this proposed housing will do to our school's population. Additionally in our zone, have new houses being build off of Belt Road, in two different locations. We understand that rezoning will take place soon to help the overcrowding in some of our area schools (Bonny Kate literally has portable classrooms!) and this proposal for 294 units will house untold numbers of people who will further add to our school's population. We cannot see this proposal as a plus to our community and request that before your commission proceeds further, you go to the proposed location and note the impact that building so many units will have on the surrounding area and our local school, Mount Olive Elementary.

I am vehemently opposed to rezoning these parcels for multi-family development. This area is exclusively single family, low density housing and should remain as such. It does not have the infrastructure such as roads, drainage, schools, gas stations, grocery stores, etc to support a development of this size. There are numerous options for building an apartment complex of this size within areas currently zoned for this type of development. The request to redone these parcels to allow construction of a development that is incompatible with the surrounding neighborhoods should be denied

The apartments proposed for building on Maloney Rd would take away a lot of green space and impact the environment in an extremely negative way. There are already numerous apartment complexes that have been built on chapman highway and cumberland avenue to accommodate people and families. The apartments would also make it very unsafe for those people who live on Maloney Rd and nearby neighborhoods due to the increase in traffic and increase in people in that area. It would increase the traffic and pollution on Maloney Rd, Belt Rd, and in Martha Washington Heights. Many people living close together such as in apartment complexes leads to an increase in the noise and crime rate.

I oppose the rezoning of this property from single family to multi family use. The streets in the area are not design to accommodate the volume of traffic this apartment complex will generate. This change will so have a negative impact on the property values of the single family homes in the area. I have concerns about the negative impact an apartment complex of the proposed size would negatively impact quality office for current home owners because of noise pollution, increased crime, light pollution, and water runoff. I respectfully request the board vote against this re-zoning request.

I oppose the building of the 200-300 unit apartment complex on Maloney Rd and Alcoa Hwy. From past experience a large apartment complex brings crime to the neighborhood. The traffic would be unbearable as Maloney Road is narrow and traffic would be backed up trying to enter and exit from Alcoa Hwy.

Please do not let Money and revenue influence your vote for this project to move forward. PLEASE SAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD and VOTE NO.

The property across Maloney Rd. from me floods with heavy rain now! If there are 10 acres of concrete, pavement, buildings uphill from this area, 5 homes driveways will be flooded and impossible to get out. This has happened already. Feb. 2019 flooding caused this property across from me to look like a lake! The house sits way back. If this development proceeds, Maloney Road will flood as well The neighbors over there could not get out of their driveways then.I am opposed to changing the sector plan for many reasons, but flooding is critical and homeowners who have maintained their properties for many years will have a hardship that should not be taken lightly!

Please don't build apartments here; Maloney is already a nightmare to exit on/off Alcoa on Sundays (you can be stuck waiting in line for more than hour) secondary to the church on Maloney. I can only imagine if there was emergency traffic during that time as well. This is a residential/country neighborhood that does not have the infrastructure to support more people or traffic (there are no sidewalks, etc)

I feel that the approval of the re-zoning will set the stage for the multi-family project to proceed into detailed design and thus allow the area residents an opportunity to offer suggestions to the developer to promote a sensitive and well designed project. The site is ideal for multi-family due to its adjacency to Alcoa Highway with quick on and off thus minimizing traffic intrusion on the neighboring communities.

Our existing commercial establishments have been devastated by the road construction along Alcoa Highway and we need more residents in the area to entice business re-development to provide neighborhood needs. I attended the developer meeting at Mount Olive Church and am confident in the quality of the project proposed and feel it would be an asset to our neighborhoods.

Maloney road is a peaceful and quiet established wooded neighborhood that I feel would be negatively impacted by a sprawling large apartment complex. There are 4 nearly empty shopping centers nearby along Alcoa Highway that would be perfect for this type of situation. In fact something like this was recently built on Chapman highway adjacent to the Post Office. Maloney road should remain single family residential.
My main concern is losing all of the trees in the neighborhood. I can actually feel the difference in temperature when I drive from my house on Maloney Road onto Alcoa Highways due to the shade we have. It would be a tragic shame to lose that when there are so many other areas in bad need of development. Please vote NO on rezoning Maloney Road. If you feel like it must proceed, I would request that you require at least 50% of the wooded area to remain wooded. It seems like many developers prefer to remove every tree within a property, and this would leave the neighbors with no screening from the complex.

An apartment complex on Maloney Road would be a huge invasion into a single family neighborhood both along Maloney Road and surrounding neighborhoods. Apartments in this area would add nothing but problems for all who reside here (traffic, noise, loss of trees and privacy to name a few). If HUD should ever become involved with the rental, it could cause property values to drop. This area has no need for an apartment complex and it would be better in an area where zoning is already multi-family. As a resident of this area, I object to this development and I strongly urge you to vote against rezoning the property in question.

I'm a Lakemoor Hills resident and OPPOSE the proposed 200-300 unit multifamily apartment complex. My concerns are crime, decreased property values, desecration of natural beauty in exchange for an ugly concrete jungle, traffic congestion, increased potential for traffic accidents, no control over rent costs and quality of tenants, light pollution, run-off water, storm drainage. I understand higher population density increases the potential for local business investment; however, the negatives of the proposed development greatly outweigh the minor inconveniences of having to drive a bit farther for gas and groceries. I would expect more local business investment will or won't come in the future based on roadwork and market. We don't need to add a huge number of people. An apartment complex would be a huge negative for this highly desirable area.

I want to voice my oppositions to the rezoning of this area on Maloney Rd to multi family dwelling for an apartment complex . This type of development will have a negative change to the dynamics of this area. This is a quiet pleasant area. There will be so much more traffic on the narrow backroads and create backups at the one lane underpass. These type of complexes tend to bring in crime to the area. And, we feel the home values will be lowered due to the apartments. Please reconsider approving this development.

I own and reside at 3116 Maloney Road, and I am vehemently OPPOSED to this rezoning request. I am the closest residential neighbor to the proposed development, and only the two-lane width of Maloney Road separates my property from the proposed apartment complex property. I oppose this rezoning primarily because the design of the complex shows TWO points of entry and exit, BOTH of which enter and exit not onto Alcoa Highway, but directly onto Maloney Road opposite the rear entrances for Sevier Heights Baptist Church and my residence. Dominion Group's design proposes a total of 11 three-story structures which will be strikingly out of character with the architecture of this residential neighborhood. Current traffic from Sevier Heights' M-F childcare, sports and other non-Sunday programs (not to mention Sunday traffic) bottleneck the roundabouts morning and evening, and as MPC members no doubt are aware, the other end of this segment of Maloney Road terminates near a one-lane underpass at Maryville Pike just shy of Mt. Olive School and its attendant traffic. Maloney Road is a quiet, winding, unimproved two-lane county residential road. Already, we are seeing increased cut-through to Alcoa Highway from the new Sevier Meadows residential development. Please perform due diligence before you vote and DRIVE this segment of Maloney Road M-F between 7-8 a.m. or 5-6 p.m., or on Sunday at noon, then respectfully vote NO on this rezoning request.

I am vehemently opposed to the rezoning and apartment plan recently proposed. My entire letter is attached. Please find the excerpt below regarding the Knox County School PRZ:

Additionally, the apartment complex will lay within Knox County School Transportation's "Parental Responsibility Zone" (PRZ), which means that any child who is zoned for Mount Olive will have to be driven to the school by their respective parents. This means an estimated 175+ cars going through the one lane tunnel FOUR times a day (to/from drop-off and then to/from pick-up). That is a nightmare, and will either cause KCS Transportation to amend their rules, which will set a precedent for the rest of the county, OR the County will have to completely redo Maloney Road, and the train tunnel, causing further misery and delays for community residents as well as the railroad, as well as the destruction of an old and historic rail tunnel, recently painted with a mural to reflect the school and community. (It should also be pointed out that the tunnel's clearance is too low for a school bus to pass through.....)

The Maloney Road apartment complex should NOT be approved. The roads are narrow and windy, we also have a 1 lane underpass that could not withstand this extra traffic. Traffic is bad enough when Sevier Heights services let out 2x on Sundays and on Wednesday evenings. It would even back up traffic at Maloney and Maryville Pike, it's hard enough to turn left there now as it is during rush hour and Mount Olive elementary school starting and dismissal times. Plus there are 2 entrances and exits from this proposed complex and both exit on Maloney Rd none on Alcoa Hwy, this will congest our round about even more. What is the draw to this area for the developer? To ruin our neighborhoods just to line his greedy pockets? Anyone voting yes for this should be ashamed of themselves. Our area is a quiet, rural area with beautiful land and trees and families that have lived there for generations and we do NOT want this complex in our community.

After my initial comment, I looked at the topographical map of this proposed development. The trees behind the houses serve a very important function: they mop up the water that cascades from the houses in Rolling Hills during some of the storms we have been experiencing. Very close to the proposed development is a bathymetric feature: a channel. I googled "channel" and got the following: "Channel heads are often associated with colluvium, hollows and landslides. Overland flows (as those that come from Rolling Hills) converge in topographical depressions where channel initiation begins." This development could cause a lot of problems for current Maloney Road residents and long term problems for the builders.

The apartment complex project has been presented as high quality construction targeted to medium income workers. Proposed landscaping will act as a sound and visual buffer between it and other properties. It sounds like a place I would like to live in should I decide to move from my home which is near by. Development is inevitable along this nearly completed section of Alcoa Highway. One that owners of blighted properties and parcels waiting for an end to road construction have been waiting for. Some traffic from the apartments will use roads on adjacent neighborhoods occasionally, but outgoing traffic will use the most convenient and direct route - Alcoa Highway. As a nearby neighbor I find the developer’s interest in bus service attractive because I would use it. I’m not opposed to this project at all. It could encourage more high end and attractive development in the area.

It is now 1:00 PM and I just returned back into my house after viewing two beautiful (bucks) white tail deer grazing in my yard. This is one of many reasons that attracted us to this location off Maloney Rd. We moved here for the awesome beauty that nature has so adequately supplied. The ability to set on our deck in the early morning or late evening, enjoying the sound of birds chirping, an occasional screech awl, crickets and even frogs croaking; make the Maloney Road area worth saving. There are those who want to change our country style neighborhood (zoned for single family dwelling) into a downtown metropolitan. This is an unwelcomed change. Most of us want to breath fresh air not the fumes from CAT buses and increased motor traffic in the area. I believe most local residents will oppose rezoning of any kind. The Alcoa Hwy (TDOT) project and the new housing development off highway 33 (Old Maryville Pike) has pushed area wildlife to seek refuge in the nearly ten-acre wooded area that is now being considered for development. This abundance of wild life ranges from deer, fox, racoon, rabbit, squirrel, ground hog, and beautiful birds including some red-tail hawk. What a shame if rezoning is approved, we lose this rare treasure forever.

I am a long tine resident of Maloney Road (since 1946) and I am opposed to the case 7-C-21-PA. We are a quiet community of single residential homes. We have dealt for so long with the traffic of Alcoa Highway trying to cross it to enter and exit Maloney Road safely. Now with the new created roundabout, it is safer for both sides of Maloney Road and the Lakemoor community to cross the highway. But, because of the new roundabout, we now have increased "through traffic" to Maryville Pike. We have large trucks, big vans, and even semi-trucks traveling down our two-lane road. These trucks and vans either have to turn around or take Belt Road, another narrow two-lane road, not suited for that type of traffic. Maloney Road has a one-car tunnel at the other end and prevents this traffic from going on to Maryville Pike. This tunnel also is backed up many times in both directions with cars trying to reach Maryville Pike and Mount Elementary School. Plus we have all the traffic for Sevier Heights Baptist Church that backs the roundabout up. We do not need nor want another 400-500 additional cars from a 300-apartment complex added to the situation. These builders will not be living in this complex themselves, but we who do live here will have to deal with this mess forever. PLEASE VOTE NO TO THIS PLAN AND REZONING FROM R2.

I am writing to oppose case 7-C-21-PA. I am a long time resident of Maloney Road, and I already experience water run off problems across my property. During heavy rains, I receive water run off from anointing property across my back yard. Added to that, is water that flows from the Rolling Hills Subdivision. This water is flowing to get to a culvert, which goes under Maloney Road at my driveway. I also get water from another neighbor flowing to the same point. Because the culvert is so small and Knox County refuses to enlarge, the water backs up to the point the water flows over Maloney Road to get to the other side. Water at that point is about 6-8 feet deep at the road. The purposed apartment will back up to my property and I’m sure that will increase more water run off on to my property just because of all the concrete parking areas and all the different buildings. They tell us that will not be a problem but that’s what Rolling Hills told us when it was built, yet we live with the problem today. If this is passed, we are the people that have to deal and live with the problems from now on after the builders leave.

Please vote not to this plan and any rezoning from our residential R2.

I oppose the Dominion group apartment complex zoning on Maloney Road. Maloney Road has too many hidden driveways and a safety concern to add more traffic. Also there are no sidewalks to Mount Olive Elementary. Along Alcoa Highway has so many sites better suited for an apartment complex this size with better traffic flow. There are many abandoned business lots in my opinion would be a much better location and you would have much less opposition. Those abandoned and unused business lots have so much potential to be built back up and provide shopping and restaurants within walking distance to the apartments.

My family and I are strongly opposed to the construction of this apartment complex. We moved to south Knoxville from west Knoxville two summers ago and one of the deciding factors had to do with our efforts to flee the suffocating congestion of west Knoxville. Please don't bring that to our lovely, peaceful south Knoxville! I homeschool my three children, and we frequently take walks along Belt Rd., Legion, Smallwood and surrounding streets. I cringe to think about what extra traffic we would have to dodge with the introduction of upwards of 500 drivers of cars.

Also please don't make this decision for adding this development until you yourself have attempted to merge onto a "round-about" immediately outside of an apartment complex. My oldest child will be learning to drive in the next two years and this terrifies me!

These are considerations of life and death coming as desperate pleas from a mother, but I have not even touched on the heartache that would ensue if you took down nearly ten acres of woods right off the Maloney exit! Driving down Maloney towards Mt. Olive is like our own canopy of woods into the Smokies, right here in our front yards. Please keep that land as it is for those of us who reside here to enjoy.
To restate: we are IN OPPOSITION of changing the sector plan from single to multifamily dwelling.

As a homeowner on Maloney I am OPPOSED to the planned apartments at the end of Maloney road at Alcoa. I enjoy living in a quiet subdivision and moved to this side of town to enjoy less traffic. The traffic burden coupled with the KAT bus service would ruin this quiet atmosphere. I also believe the proposal places a burden on Mount Olive school at this time.

I'd like to oppose the development of 200-250 apartment units at or near Maloney Rd. The following items represent a few of the concerns I have regarding this proposed development, the first is traffic:

Adding 200-250 units adjacent to or on a two land residential road means a potential increase in traffic to the time of 400-500 cars plus visitors to the complex, further straining existing infrastructure.

I am strongly opposed to the apartment complexes at the end of Maloney Road. I work for the city and in my position see firsthand the amount of crime that can be incased within apartment complexes. If this goes the wrong way we could be dealing with juveniles who come into neighboring communities looking for opportunities to commit crimes. I see apartment complexes that are havens for drug dealing and gang activity to include regular shootings. I, along with several others, found this community years ago. Maloney Road has been a peaceful, quiet area...we have enjoyed living here. In addition, this small stretch of road is not conducive to the amount of traffic that this would bring in. We have a one lane tunnel at one end and the severe traffic from Sevier Heights on the other. I firmly believe this is not a good idea and that there are much better locations along Alcoa Hwy that would better serve this purpose if it is absolutely necessary.

I am writing in opposition to the apartment complex proposal. As a Lakemoor Hills resident already enduring noise and disruption from the "Gentleman's Ball" business, the highway and highway and even the church I cannot imagine adding apartments in this location. The approval of this project would set a precedent for similar properties along this small corridor counter to the residential neighborhoods that have bordered Alcoa highway for decades. The sector plan and the neighborhood’s vision could support more residential projects (successful developments have occurred on Maloney and Maryville pike) or even townhomes along this corridor but not large apartment complexes.

Despite being along the busy Alcoa highway this is a residential area.

I strongly oppose the proposed rezoning of this property. The proposed development does not fit the character of the neighborhood. We have invested our life savings into our home and choose the area based on single family dwelling / low density residential . The traffic, noise infrastructure, and water runoff issues are plenty enough to decline this request. You the members of the commission do not have to go along with every scheme developers have to increase their profits. Please respect the voice of the neighbors and decline this proposal.

I am writing to express opposition to the proposed zoning changes for the apartment complex development at the corner of Maloney Road and Alcoa Highway. My full comments are in the attached pdf file.
