Please come out and walk this property before making such an important decision.. The map shows a lot, but until you walk it you can’t understand. These decisions that your making are gonna affect this area in a negative way. Bad curve to add 100 plus cars in the morning traffic flow. Can the schools handle this many more kids? Especially New hopewell elementary?

Although I am not opposed to the rezoning itself, I am submitting a plea to deny the request for five dwellings per acre on the afore mentioned rezoning of 5-O-22 RZ. 1 to 2 dwelling units per acre would fit more consistently within the established neighborhood. There is also a concern for traffic safety due to the property being located on Gov. John Sevier Highway in a curve with low visibility.
There is also concern for an increase of student population at the zoned New Hopewell elementary school. Please adhere to the Knox Planning departments’ research, planned studies and favorable recommendation.
Please deny this amount of density in regards to number of houses for this lot. The amount of homes needs to match the existing planning involved with the historic neighborhood moving forward. This is county and not city and should be treated accordingly. Please consider these suggestions from the community members and educated engineers.
