I formally lived at 2222 Stock Creek Rd in South Knox County and our daughter is now living with her husband and 3 small children. I still own property at 2244 and 0 Stock Creek Rd (2244 is currently being planned for our new residence). I do not believe the property in question for rezoning will adequately accommodate any more houses than already exist there now because of all the ecological/environmental issues that the property has. Furthermore, there are road and school infrastructure concerns that should be addressed before any consideration should be given to rezoning the property. Knox County has assured the citizens of this community that significant enhancements to public facilities are forthcoming to the South Knox County area without any evidence of those promises coming to light. The developer spoke at a meeting of concerned citizens (some 200) at Stock Creek Baptist Church last night and indicated that they are going to be submitting an application for PR at 5 DU per acre which is absolutely ludicrous. This proposal - 8-F-23 RZ should be denied by the Planning Staff and anything short of that is not in keeping with making the community in this part of South Knox County a welcoming place to want to raise a family!!!

I formally lived at 2222 Stock Creek Rd in South Knox County and our daughter is now living with her husband and 3 small children. I still own property at 2244 and 0 Stock Creek Rd (2244 is currently being planned for our new residence). This community cannot support this level of housing increase at this particular location. There is already traffic overload from the existing roads flowing onto Tipton Station Rd and John Sevier Hwy from Coatney Rd. There are road and school infrastructure concerns that should be addressed before any consideration should given before increasing the density of the population in this area. Why does Knox County continue to overbuilt before making sure these road and school infrastructures are put in place to accommodate the increased population. There was a meeting of concerned citizens (some 200 persons) at Stock Creek Baptist Church last night. Our rural neighborhood is slowly being stolen by greedy developers who continue to line the pockets with the god of money at the expense of keeping South Knox County a heaven of rural living. I strongly oppose this new development.
