This project will be a disaster for our area. I oppose this completely. We already have enough trouble with the golfers racing down the road we don’t need another 1000 cars a day on this road.Scott (N/A), March 5, 2021 at 7:59 AM

First of all, that you for taking your time to read my email. Please don’t allow this huge development to happen! There would be tremendous traffic congestion on our two lane rural road. I have lived on Graves Road for 50 of my 57 years and our community does not want such a huge development! How would the Carter schools even accommodate all of the potential children? All of the roads that feed into Asheville Highway are extremely narrow, so how would traffic be for those roads? Please, please let our community stay a small rural community!Ann Marie (N/A), March 5, 2021 at 1:21 PM

I live off Ruggles Ferry Road and I am very troubled about nearly 500 houses being built in our neighborhood. Whitney (N/A), March 5, 2021 at 1:24 PM
My immediate neighbors and I all own at least 5 acres of pristine east Tennessee land.
The houses closer to the proposed subdivision are beautiful, golf course homes with an acre or more between each on.
It's the type of neighborhood where kids feel safe, neighbors visit on porches and people feel safe walking along the road soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the fresh air.
We love land, trees, peace, quiet and space between ourselves to stretch out and breathe deep in east Knoxville.

Attached is our letter of objection to this development. One added comment is that there are homes still for sell in surrounding developments in this area.Julie (N/A), March 8, 2021 at 8:34 AM

Residents in the Strawberry Plains area have recently been made aware of a new development, “Innsbruck Farms" positioned on the banks of the Holston River in Strawberry Plains. This development consists of 482 homes on 171 acres of land, and currently ranks in the top three highest density populations in Knox County. Notwithstanding the impact on existing infrastructure, traffic, etc., the impacts on the ecosystem bear investigation. In contrast, I oppose the development as a Sportsmen, Conservationist, and a Champion of Environmental Quality simply due to the run-off into the Holston River.Frank H.

I’m contacting you about Innsbruck Farms development (Item 22, file #3-SB-21-C) This project came to the attention of the community about 3 weeks ago. There were many attempts to reach the developers with questions. We finally met with a representative on March 6th. Their plan is not complete and has changed many times in the 3 weeks. The traffic study showed an additional 4,400 trips per day on Ruggles Ferry Pike. Not to mention very narrow roads connecting Ruggles Ferry to Asheville Highway. Our community is not trying to stop the development, but simply asking the developers to be more responsible and sensitive to our rural community. In the +-5,700 acres that make up our community between the Holston River and Asheville Hwy & AJ Highway, there are approximately 800 homes. This developer is proposing 482 homes on +- 200 acres. We are asking for at least a 30 postponement, but a 60 day postponement would be better. I’m asking for your help. Again, we are not trying to stop development in our area, instead we are asking for developers and MPC be sensitive to our rural character. Also, efforts mentioned in the East Knox Community Plan which was adopted in 2017, have been for the most part not been considered in this plan. This is an opportunity for Knox County to have a showcase development. But 482 homes on +-200 acres is just not acceptable to our community. We want to work with the developer.Herbert (N/A), March 8, 2021 at 3:40 PM

My name is Kelly Morring, I am the sister of Michael and Amanda Bartleson owner's of B&B K-9 and his non profit Paws & Badges. I am emailing you tonight to show my support for there Business. I am a little confused how one person can persuade you to not allow this business to continue. Have you done any research on what he dose and how many people he helps? I will definitely be at the meeting on Thursday. I hope you all can do some research or reach out to the many individuals who Mike has helped not only with service dog's but the training he provides for his clients and their fur babies! This is not just a business for him this is his life, his passion, his happiness. PLEASE DON'T LET ONE PERSON RUIN THIS FOR SO MANY OTHERS.Kelly (N/A), July 6, 2021 at 8:26 AM

WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO A NEW DEVELOPMENT, HOWEVER WE ARE OPPOSED TO A SUBDIVISION OF THIS MASSIVE SIZE & SCALE. THERE WOULD BE AN ESTIMATED 4,400 ADDITIONAL DAILY CAR TRIPS ON RUGGLES FERRY PIKE AND NEARBY ROADS WHICH ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR THAT MUCH TRAFFIC. WE RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO VOTE NO.Cecil (N/A), July 6, 2021 at 2:06 PM
