Many comments have already been submitted about this area, and it's drainage issues. Residents in the area commented that it would be a very bad idea to remove trees that were providing erosion control as well and rip drainage for lower elevations farther South. I believe the problems have already begun, in that earlier Concerns were ignored and trees were removed. Residents of Hardwick and Meadcrest are already experiencing flooding issues. As well since the erosion control of this area is no longer in place, the westside of a parking lot the borders this property for Walker Springs apartments is beginning to noticeably sink and cracks and holes develop as the soil underneath has begun to sink. As the trees in the area that were providing stability for the soil are no longer there. No real Ideas how to fix this, as I feel the damage has already been inflicted on the community and the area, And these problems will only get worse as time it's time passes by. In addition Kama flooding on the Knoxville Greenway O Greenway has worsened, as the Knoxville Greenway is South and lower of this entire area and the drainage is spilling out onto the Greenway.. The damage has been done at this point
