Again, what are you thinking? This area has become ugly. An area of ugly houses stacked on top of each other for miles and miles. Where are our parks? Green spaces? Where is our library and post office? Where is our quality of life? We were promised parks years ago during all those "town hall meetings". What a joke. I won't mention traffic or schools. Everyone knows that Hardin Valley = overcrowded schools and traffic. It's what we're known for. Stop paving everything and think about what you are doing by approving these terrible subdivisions. The yards aren't even big enough for a single tree. Not. One. Single. Tree. I feel sorry for people who think that they have no choice but to live in Hardin Valley "because of the schools". They are being sold a lie. I think Hardin Valley should come with a warning: Choose Hardin Valley! What we have: Traffic! Severely overcrowded schools! Traffic! No parks! No library! No green space whatsoever! No trees! Traffic! You will spend most of your time in your car driving someplace else for everything! Houses inches from each other! So many portable classrooms they could be a subdivision on their own! What we don't have: pretty much everything you need for a good quality of life. This will be your legacy.

As a resident near Couch Mill Road, I am deeply concerned about a 400 unit subdivision being proposed on 132 acres off of Couch Mill Road near Hardin Valley Road. The land is currently zoned as agricultural. Constructing 400 houses on approximately 100 acres of the current farmland would be very detrimental to our rural community. There are too many subdivisions being erected in Hardin Valley as it is. Couch Mill Road and Steele Road are simply way too narrow to accommodate this exponential increase in traffic if this subdivision were to be constructed. The roads are too narrow even with the flow of traffic we already have. This also will greatly increase the strain on our local schools Hardin Valley Elementary, Middle and Academy which are already overflowing with the existing population they serve. The subdivision would result in exceeding the Knox County intersection standard which is currently 3000. As a resident of the community this proposed subdivision would negatively impact, I urge you to vote NO on the proposal. This subdivision would destroy our lovely rural community and endanger lives with increased traffic on our already small roads. Please OPPOSE this.

I would like to again provide you with the data regarding growth and development in Hardin Valley in hopes that you will revisit when considering this plan.

Please consider the attached information before making a decision on this case. There appears to be contradictory information presented by the planning staff recommendation of this case and the initial rezoning report 12-I-21-RZ from the 12/09/21 planning commission meeting, agenda item #16.
