8-N-24-RZ William and Julia (37830), August 7, 2024 at 12:37 PM
We object to the requested rezoning density of 8 dwelling units per acre and regret our inability to attend the hearing for item 8-N-24-RZ. This property is part of an estate totaling about fifty acres and a 25 bedroom house that was auctioned off July 24, 2020 at which time we purchased a tract of 10+ acres and a barn. At the auction Mr. Cheban purchased two tracts and subsequently has bought two more tracts and now is seeking a rezoning to develop 8.07 acres at 8 dwelling units per acre or 64 total. We object to this development. The remaining auctioned tracts other than Mr. Cheban's remain undeveloped. It is our concern that this density will devalue these tracts. Further, the proposed access road to Ball Camp Pike from this property enters at a point near where a major railroad crosses and would definitely pose a hazard for entering and exiting. Our apologies for the late objections, but we did not receive notice of the rezoning request and were aware only by following up the newspaper notice.

Correction to prior comment regarding development of estate auctioned tracts. At the auction Ron Worley bought Westernmost tract fronting on Lobettti Road and built several homes in the $350,000 to $400,000 price range according to advertising signs and postings in the Knoxville News Sentinel.
