I am writing to ask you to deny the sector plan amendment and rezoning request for this property. This parcel was explicitly excluded from the MU-SD3 area of the 2012 South Knox Sector Plan (starting at page 31; map on page 33). designation and SC is not an appropriate zone for a 1.21 acre parcel. With the required setbacks for the SC zone, there would not be enough property left to develop anything useful to the neighborhood. There is already too much depressed and under-utilized SC zoning along Alcoa Highway.

Please deny this rezoning request. The development in Hardin Valley has dramatically outpaced the infrastructure needed to support it. Please uphold the sector plan and look at the cumulative effect of what you are doing instead of approving these subdivisions based on the individual parcels. This is negatively impacting taxpayers, schools, roads, the environment and Knoxville citizen's quality of life. We cannot continue down this path without permanent detrimental effects, and I hope you will have a thoughtful conversation about how to fix this problem before it is too late. There have been a lot of promises made about infrastructure improvements but there is no plan as to how to finance them. There should be a moratorium on further rezonings until this problem can be adequately addressed.

I am writing to ask you to uphold the sector plan and deny this rezoning request and sector plan change from A to PR. The requested zoning is far too intense for the rural area and the impacts of adding this many homes have not been adequately studied. What are the purpose of sector plans if they are changed routinely without consideration for the thoughtful planning effort that was undertaken by both staff and the community? Please uphold the sector plan and deny this rezoning.
