Hello! Please consider when rezoning this land the homeowners of Lake Cove. Don’t cram in 4-5 houses an acre. Make them 3/acre with nicer houses as to not lower the property values. We currently have a line of trees between Lake Cove and this land, and we would like to keep those to help buffer the noise from all the development. We would also like the privacy fence extended all the way to the entrance of the subd. Thank you!

I do not see a a tree or fence buffer between this new subdivision and Lake Cove, especially our lots 1-4, on these plans. Our lots #3 & #4 need this buffer to protect our houses from construction dust, dirt and noise. This was requested in the original plan by us and nothing appears in the notes.
Please address this with builder.

Also in the notes on the variance request from 300 to 186 feet, needs to remain at 300 feet for safety reason. Please address this with builder.

I am in favor of giving the children of our community more beneficial past times other than video games and eating out. This school has been wonderful for my kids and I would love to see them be able to expand.

Thank you,

Rebekah

I’ve been a member at Knoxville Martial Arts Academy for 10 years. I stumbled into KMAA seeking a new workout facility that was close to home. I was a single-Mother of 2 amazing kids who was also down on her luck. When I walked through the door I was greeted with open-arms, genuine smiles & hope. At the time I was unemployed, no family or help, 2 black-eyes & a broken nose. I desperately needed a change. Never would I anticipate that a small step forward would completely change my my future and subsequently the lives of my kids.

Through KMAA I learned life-long lessons that are irreplaceable. On the mats I learned who I was and most importantly, who I wasn’t. I learned how to silence the voices that held me back. I learned how to take control, to sit with failure, & relentlessly get back up. I learned how to be complete within myself.

Today I am a gainfully employed at the Y-12 National Security Complex as a Control Systems Engineer. I’m working with the National Nuclear Security Administration on the Uranium Processing Facility. My son is 19, a Jr. in college, Dean’s list, student athlete & VP of his college baseball team. My daughter is a Jr. in High School & on the Honor Roll. There is no denying KMAA’s role in our success.

To deny the request of rezoning would be detrimental & a great injustice to our community. Without KMAA many would be lost in our community. Please reconsider rezoning.

I would like to correct the comment by Geena, on the tree buffer. There are no trees between Lake Cove Lots 1-4. We would love to see that tree buffer continued down. I also agree with Geena on the privacy fence. Fences make good neighbors. If I were buying a $900,000 home, I would want some privacy. I would hope you would think about the buyers in your subdivision and next door subdivison.
