I believe that the rezoning of this property into a medium-density residential area is an exceedingly poor idea. First and foremost is the issue of traffic flow. The junction of Tazewell Pike and Shannondale is already quite dangerous due to a combination of no traffic lights, no turn lanes, and poor sightlines. This junction gets terribly backed up every morning and afternoon because of elementary school traffic. Increasing traffic load through that zone only puts more people at risk, from the 5211 Shannondale Road property across the street from this lot all the way to the children just down the road. Aside from the real, physical danger of a higher rate of traffic accidents at this junction, there is a danger to property values in this neighborhood. This lot has historic and aesthetic value to the neighborhood as it is, and should preferably either be restored or a new home be built in its place. An apartment complex in its stead would negatively effect housing values in the surrounding area. It would also not fit the aesthetics/looks of the surrounding homes. Building a large apartment complex in this lot would add a great deal of light and sound pollution to the neighborhood. As a concerned citizen, I know that there are much better locations for apartment complexes in Fountain City than this lot.

Please see attached Police Case Information Card, for Police Report Case 22-001810. Those affected by this incident are opposed to the rezoning of case 10-I-21-PA with John Huber, due to already existing safety issues with businesses in the community.

Please see attached flooding photos. Photos were taken approximately 10:45 am, 2/23/22, Creekhead Rd. (east side of road, close to Helmbolt Rd.) Knoxville, TN 37909. Water had receded by the time photos were taken; however, the first photo shows water pouring thru a residential fence in their backyard, which faces Creekhead Drive. Both south and north sides of road were clogged with debris and water.
