We live in the 1st phase of Campbells Point and have seen an increase in issues as our subdivision has experienced growth in our phase 3. Our subdivision is not a starter subdivision with homes ranging from $300,000 up to $700,000 with lots from 3/4 acre to 3 acres with an average lot of 1 acre. However, with additional building in our subdivision, we have experienced several issues such as an increase in residential traffic, construction traffic, neighborhood safety, noise, and crime. The primary road into the subdivision, Tazewell Pike has also become more dangerous. We have had numerous wrecks on this stretch of road and at our subdivision entrance. Tazewell pike is the main road to Knoxville that is heavily traveled daily by residents from other towns such as Luttrell, Powder Springs, Washburn etc. We are opposed to the development. As you know, this area of Tazewell Pike has homes with acreage and Campbells Point is the only subdivision. The density of proposed subdivision does not conform with the surrounding homes, and the increase of traffic on Tazewell Pike will only contribute to the further decline in road safety and in student safety at the school campus. With a new large development, I would expect the neighborhood to experience an additional increase in traffic, crime, safety, noise etc. Please reject the proposed subdivision as all residents that we have spoken with are also opposed.

Our concerns for this development are as follows. Tazewell Pike is already a busy road but I can’t image what it would be like if this development went up in this area. The traffic right now on Tazewell Pike is very dangerous, they fly up and down this road passing people in odd spots and the number of wrecks on this road are awe full. This would increase the amount of traffic that goes through the school zone that is already very busy and with kids walking on that sidewalk on a busy road is scary. Not to mention the full schools now that would also increase. This is a huge safety concern for our area and we as well as ours neighbors strongly REJECT the proposal for this property. Thank you.

Due to so many subdivisions already in this area, I feel we cannot handle anymore traffic. I also feel there will be a safety issue with the turning lane on Tazewell Pike. Traffic is non-stop in that area. Even with no sidewalk, I feel the kids will try to walk home since it will be so close to the school. We also need to preserve the Farmland that we still have in this area. We will soon not have anymore Farms in this area to feed the livestock or to even put new livestock on. We need to start using the land we still have left more wisely. This little community is not equipped to handle anymore. Even our schools are getting too crowded. I have lived here all my life and the Farmers cannot even be able to afford to purchase the Farmland. The price is set so high. Each year I see another barn being torn down and farms disappearing. There are still Farmers out there wanting to purchase land. We need to make a change before we no longer have any Farmland even left.

Do not build apartments on that land. Traffic is absolutely awful on tazewell pike anyways. There is ENOUGH housing in this area. We don’t need anymore outsiders. This is the dumbest thing that could be done. Think about the people who live here. Think about what we ACTUALLY want. We don’t want more freaking housing.
