The density (50-100 additional families in under 12 acres) is inconsistent with current land use and will further burden the limited infrastructure, particularly with the proposed setback. The inevitable approval of this project as currently proposed is simply an indicator of the consistent "planning" undertaken by this committee, which is majority comprised of active and past developers/realtors/mortgage lenders. This committee is run by the industry it is intended to regulate. There is no valid defense for the density of this development with the proposed setbacks other than the benefit of the developer (who has won multiple awards from the HBAGK - the association to which many members of this planning commission belong or have presided over). The bio’s of several committee members state "responsible development" and the like. Development and profit seeking are both good and necessary to meet the needs of all stakeholders, when done responsibly. This development as proposed is not responsible. To those on the committee who are not friends and/or business associates of the developer, please represent the citizens you are appointed to represent by reducing the density of this proposed development. Keep Knox county a desirable place to live.
