This is a rural area. 4 DU per acre is too dense.

This context is missing and makes the analysis and conclusion misleading. This could cause a casual reader to conclude that the change over current conditions is smaller (using the provided 1,819 number) since the 4,231 number is not provided.

I ask that the applicant and engineer be required to clarify their traffic letter.

 
Please let us keep our tiny green space. Is Knoxville just about business now? Let us take a stand and use space ready for business that exists along that road. We are all ready losing acres of mature hardwoods for a massive apt. project off Malony Road.

 
I OPPOSE THIS SUBDIVISION!!! THERE ARE ENOUGH SUBDIVISIONS IN HARDIN VALLEY-JUST DRIVE DOWN HARDIN VALLEY ROAD AND YOU WILL SEE 1000S OF HOUSES BEING BUILT. THE ROADS DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC. THE SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY OVERCROWDED AND WILL NOT SUPPORT 1000S MORE STUDENTS!!!

- Uphold the existing Sector Plans by applying the plans and guidelines to land use decisions, without assuming that what the updated General Plan will have until it is agreed to and adopted.
- Deliberate about if a request should be approved based on the big picture of the area - what is the availability of public services and utilities in the are, and how the land use decision will impact the characteristics identified as important in the Sector Plan
- Apply the requirements of the zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations to rezonings and Use on Reviews. With Use on Review applications, carefully consider character and adverse impact to neighbors, as impacts are more acutely felt in a more densely populated county.
- Look for opportunities where land use decisions can further projects already identified in sector plans, such as parks, greenways, new schools, or transportation projects

 
Better yet, reduce the DU per acre further to reduce future traffic load.

 
We are just waking up, we as Martha Washington Heights are just trying to get the news out! We are just wanting to save our little green acre! Please come to this space, see the desolate abandoned businesses up and down both sides of the new interstate Alcoa Hwy. Give us our one remaining little peace PEACE of greenery. Seems like this whole process is so sided to favor the developer while the little guy has to really stand up and fight to be heard. While all along, living and raising families and trying to stay healthy ect. a Mr Monday can just decide to change our world over here so easily. It is not right. Once again I beg of you to vote against this re zone. Seems like it should be required by said developer to meet with adjoining neighborhood to discuss plans? Again , the system is geared to favor developer. He will not even tell us his plans. My plan, our neighborhood plans are to keep our little green acre.

 
Vote NO.

 
The local wildlife has already been endangered and disrupted by out-of-control building. Coyotes and other dangerous animals which usually stay far from homes have had their homes turned into neighborhoods and have began to show aggressive and harmful behavior toward people and pets in our community.

 
My house and 2 of our neighbors have had floods inside and outside our homes causing thousands in damages to our our properties. Our home had plumbing ruptures that resulted in a $100,000 property loss and having to be displaced to an apartment for 7 months. All of this is due to pressure increases for the new 40 house neighborhood built below our property.
All large and dense developments should be halted until all the safety, school, wildlife and infrastructure concerns are addressed in a thorough plan accounts for current and future needs of our community.
