I am opposed to this request. I am highly opposed to sector plan amendments. We need to follow our sector plans as they have the community input already within them. Also, this property has known sinkholes. Re-zoning would be irresponsible and put future homeowners at risk. Not to mention, medium density zoning does not match the surrounding developments. Please deny both requests.

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.

Please do not approve this plan as is. There is no foresight into the impacts of this subdivision on our schools. Even though it is in the PRZ, there are no sidewalks or crosswalks that will allow students to walk to school. That means more cars in an already congested area. There is also no real green space or character to this development that will make it an asset to the community, only another cookie cutter subdivision. Please require subdivision improvements, sidewalks and intersection updates before approving this plan.

I oppose approval of this plan as it stands. We need more green space and sidewalks to help our community look better than what is currently planned. Also there are no plans to make this a pedestrian friendly neighborhood inside the Gibbs PRZ.

I urge planning staff/commissioners to not approve this plan as it is depicted. Please require further evaluation for safety concerns. This neighborhood will be within the PRZ zone for all 3 Gibbs schools. There are no sidewalks along Emory Road that would allow students to safely walk to the main intersection. There are also no crosswalks/lights to allow them to safely reach the existing sidewalks along Tazewell Pike. Please consider the need for more infrastructure improvements before approving this plan as it is. There are no plans for any amenities or interior sidewalks within this development. On paper, it’s just a basic development with houses shoved into it with no real benefit to our growing community. Please require some improvements to this plan before allowing it to pass through like it is. I understand there is a need in the county for more homes, there’s also a need to provide our community with the best possible outcome in this race to build and build.
