Related to the Transportation letter attached to the application: I have to object to the phrasing in the Conclusion that "The increase in trip generation will result in an additional 1,819 new daily trips."Kevin (37918), November 30, 2021 at 12:00 PM
This obfuscated the analysis in an attempt to minimize the perceived impact.
Current trips generated: 0 or de minimus from agricultural use
Potential trips (existing CA/Ag zoning): 2,412
Potential trips (requested PR zoning): 4,231 (which is 1,819 more than the potential trips under existing zoning)
The "Trip Generation" section and the "Conclusion" sections both refer to the 1,819 number without providing clear context - they say "new daily trips". It should read something like "4,231 new daily trips over existing usage, and 1,819 new daily trips over what could be developed under existing zoning."
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.

Attached is the case history for most of the sector plan amendments and zoning events associated with the Camel manufacturing plant in this area. I've included a BZA application that has a good history of the rezoning that Liz Albertson put together for that hearing.Kevin (37918), December 5, 2021 at 6:58 PM

This development does not fit in with the historical qualities of the area. If the developer could meet with their neighbors and create a more sensitive plan with lower density this would add to the area, not take away. One house per acre with green spaces abutting the main road and not disturbing the natural waterways or the bat caves. I urge the commission to not allow this development with any more than one house per acre. Ron (37918), December 6, 2021 at 12:10 PM

There is a lot of Hardin Valley development activity on the December 2021 Planning Commission agenda. In front of Planning Commission this week are 3 rezonings and 3 residential development plans that have significant impact. These, plus the cumulative rezonings over the past several years, have residents looking at the cumulative impact.Kevin (37918), December 7, 2021 at 7:58 PM
With all the growth pressures and infrastructure investment needed, KCPA and HVPA asks that Knoxville-Knox Planning Commission and Knox County Commission:
- 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

To get an idea of the hazards and issues that this Use on Review will create for adjacent residences, I ask you to take the time to visit a convenience store with a restaurant and drive-thru - perhaps a Breadbox types store. Stand outside on the property line for 15 minutes. Get an idea the amount of noise generated from vehicles. Do this before sunrise or after sunset to get an idea for how bright the site lighting is, and how often the headlights wash over you while standing there. Walk along the adjacent roads for a bit and see what the litter situation is. Then imagine if all this was happening 35 feet outside your bedroom window. Or 50 feet away from your garage. When you get home, get a tape measure out and measure and go outside - measure 35 feet from your bedroom window, or your kitchen or front door, to get an idea of how close this would be to you. There are lots of convenience stores around to try this out at. Most of us dash in and out pretty quickly. If you stand at one for 10 or 15 minutes, ask yourself at the end - was it a comfortable experience? Is this an environment that is compatible next to a residence?Kevin (37918), December 8, 2021 at 10:56 AM

Attached is a picture from the wastewater service map of the Knox Chapman Utility District. The picture shows sewer service on Sevierville Pike - an 8" gravity main flows north from the Valgro Rd intersection to the Valley Grove SPS station (pumping station) on the northwest corner of the subject property, and at that point becomes a forced main going up Sevierville Pike. A note on the plan indicates:Kevin (37918), December 8, 2021 at 11:59 AM
Valley Grove SPS
Year Installed: 1999
which clearly shows that sanitary sewer services have been available in the area since 1999 - prior to the adoption of the Growth Policy Plan map in 2002, and that services were in place at the time of the recent South County Sector Plan update.

For this item, a Use on Review / Concept Plan has been filed for the January 2020 Planning Commission Meeting (1-D-22-UR / 1-SA-22-C). I requested a copy of the plan filed, which has a note that it has not been reviewed or finalized.Kevin (37918), December 8, 2021 at 1:04 PM
It depicts 393 total lots for the Couch Mill property. Under Rural Residential Land Use Classification, for Planned Residential zones are allowed if "dwellings are clustered in one portion of the subdivision". The Sector Plan does not have criteria stated for what that requires. You will have to determine if this meets a threshold of dwellings clustered in one portion of the subdivision. We encourage you to lean on Planning staff for their expert opinions.
The submitted site plan is relevant because this shows the intent and impact of the rezoning density on the concept plan. A relevant question for you is: If it is zoned at 3 du/ac, can an applicant actually construct a design that clusters dwelling on one portion of the subdivision? Or does authorizing 3 du/ac create a situation where an applicant is incentivized to over-develop a property which is in conflict with the Sector Plan?

The Subdivision Regulations have a Street Connectivity requirement (3.04.C) stating that an interconnected street system is an important component of sound neighborhood development.

At this meeting you have two adjacent pieces of land - Vining Mill and Briggs Station. It appears that the end of English Ivy Lane on Vining Mill is near the eastern cul-de-sac for Briggs Station. These two should be connected together, allowing residents to move between the developments, bike, and connect. It could keep some traffic off of primary external roads. Connections build community.
It is rare that TWO adjacent Concept Plans are on your agenda at the same time. KCPA requests that you ask the applicants for modification to connect the two developments and postpone if necessary.

I grew up in Halls, living just off Pelleaux Road. Traffic on Norris Freeway has increased exponentially with the increase of new subdivisions. Tragic vehicle accidents have taken the lives and caused life altering consequences. Gordon Smith Road is one of a few bucolic areas in Halls. Wildlife and stock animals can thrive. The addition of residential dwellings will destroy the peacefulness of the area. Please, reconsider destroying this historic area. The community is unanimous in its opposition to this development.
