The intersection of Andes Road and Ball Camp Pike is dangerous right now due to the railroad tracks and Byington Solway Road. There is far too much traffic on these curvy, windy, and bumpy two lane roads.

This lot of land sits two driveways down from our home. I am concerned about the zoning change for several reasons. The number one reason is the growth around our area is happening too fast. Zoning has changed around us and it makes me feel like their has been no concern for our streets, children at play, current animals who are not used to the noise, and wild life that are being displaced. We have had several hundred if not more homes built around us and the lack of acknowledging these things is a huge injustice. I know that there are plans for a new road that will allow for traffic to flow better but that is still a long time away. Our roads currently are at a breaking point. At this moment, to change the zoning for the allotment of more homes would be a lack of discernment. Please consider the people, children, animals and not the idea of wealth and growth. Some things are better to be left alone, quiet, and peaceful. Let our community grasp this new road in front of our homes before you add more. The picture I am sending depicts the new road going in and how that is already effecting our neighborhood. You can see the red house in the picture as well, that is the place you are considering re-zoning. Please consider leaving the land the way it is and let someone respect it and nurture it as a single domain. You are the commissioners and I will respect your discernment, thank you for reviewing my correspondence.

2312 is a hilltop that drains into a basin formed by 3 parcels, 2420, 2404, and 2428, which drains into a sinkhole on 2428. We've already seen increased surface water from the development of Cedar Grove subdivision. The sinkhole has been inadequate to prevent significant flooding on 3 occasions in the past 5 years. Our driveway was impassible for days, with up to 2 feet of water on it. We must rely on a functioning septic tank and drain field as sanitary sewer service is not available to our part of the city. Multi-unit housing and paved parking will increase runoff and flooding in our direction. We feel that RN-2 zoning change at 2312 Bakertown Road is inappropriate until the drainage and flooding issues are addressed.
