I live in the neighborhood where these lots are trying to be rezoned and used for houses. When I bought my house, my realtor told me the area was common use space for the neighborhood. I thought that was awesome, it was part of the reason I purchased the home. I have young kids and pets that like to use the area to play in. Please don’t allow the property to be rezoned and used for residential houses. It will take away from the neighborhood appeal. Thanks for your consideration.

On a personal note of why I want to save our park, I grew up in IL with a park that I could walk to to play on with my friends. My parents didn't have to drive me! I have such fond memories of that park, and so when I was looking for a place to live here in TN a year ago, I immediately fell in love with this community because of that open land, that was communicated to me by my realtor that was a common area for the homeowners of this community to use as our park. There are so many benefits to having this open land to this community for our kids, my someday grandkids, even for hosting community get together such as BBQs, pot lucks, or just hanging out together as community should.

I've researched the public documents and I feel this land should never have gotten approval to be subdivided in 2018. There was a Plat from 2008 that was referenced to in all sales documents that showed this was Common Land, and it is still referenced to today in all our public record owner cards and all subsequent Quit Claim Deeds. In addition, HOA rules have been broken regarding this land which we are fighting against as well.

We respectfully request that this March 13th hearing be postponed or that the committee deny building on it so that us homeowners can consult with legal counsel and to legally get this corrected.

Protect Our Park at The Park at Babelay
As a resident of the neighborhood, I strongly oppose rezoning our park common area for residential development, and by proceeding without homeowner consent, the developer is disregarding critical HOA and zoning legal obligations.

Upon purchasing a home, we were told this space was used as common area (a park), a key factor in many residents decisions to purchase here, and its loss would diminish our neighborhood's appeal and weaken our community's connection.

All we are asking for is respect for homeowner rights and that proper legal processes be followed. We appreciate your consideration!

This is unacceptable. Plus every time I try to talk with the only person in charge of HOA he is very rude and doesn't want to answer my Questions. He just says read contract and hangs up. He owns and rents out over 10 of the homes and when they are empty he uses the Gardner that I pay for to mow those lawns. He thinks this is his kingdom.

CORRECTION TO ALL OUR STATEMENTS REFERENCING TENNESSEE CODES

We've recently discovered that we should not be referencing Tennessee Code § 66-27-401 in our statements. This is for condominiums, which we are not.

However, the other code, Tennessee Code § 13-7-105, still applies to our statement and should be taken into consideration. We understand this was a resubdivision and not necessarily a rezoning, however, the current CCR references the original Plat which shows that land as Common Area, and as stated in paragraph 5 under WITNESSETH, "...Developer declares that all of the real property....for the purpose of protecting the value and desireability of said real property...".

Please see instrument number 201705010066067 for full paragraph statement.

Several homeowners in the development have observed erosion and sediment accumulation at various locations.  Multiple properties have been adversely impacted by unplanned discharges from a drainage ditch which has become filled with sediment from the ongoing construction on Parker Harrison Way.  We would urge the Planning Commission to refrain from approving the plan for 3505/3511 Duck Pond Way due to the ongoing poor Erosion and Sediment Control practices by the developer in the Park at Babelay

Violation of Zoning Laws - Tennessee Code § 13-7-105 mandates proper notice, hearings, and direct homeowner notification, none of which happened.
I am requesting:
Halt all actions immediately.
Full Transparency from the developer and HOA.
Proper Notice & Vote before proceeding.
Legal Compliance with zoning laws.
Reconsider the Proposal to protect our community.
Conclusion - This conversion is unacceptable. I am requesting respect for homeowner rights and legal obligations.

I have lived here since May 2017. It is a great community with great neighbors.
I always loved the fountain in the pond, with the pretty park setting to be enjoyed by our community. It has always been a common area for all of us to enjoy. Building on this park area would eliminate the ambiance and the only nature that our community can enjoy. Many of our neighbors purchased their homes here because of the park-like setting. It would also lower the value of our homes.
Please dont allow this to happen to our community.
Thank you for your consideration.

Here are photos of our park before our beautiful trees were cut down and what it looks like now. They were all cut down over Christmas without any notice.

When I purchased my home in 2020, I was not aware that park wasn't common area, the plat I received showed the current lots 3511 & 3505 as a common/park area and the plat attached to my current homeowners card on the KGIS still shows it as such for me and everyone else around it. Please keep it the way it was and not let the developer rezone, subdivide or convert what is, and should be, the homeowners common park area. Thank you.

I am speaking as a sole house across with the easement, and I am seeing where they’re trying to widen the road, which would then affect where my light pole is and my electricity and I would like to know how to deal with that to get around that as to not cut off water and electricity to my home. Also, my address is [redacted]. which is what is on recorded on deeds - Where are we going to put my mailbox if you widen the lane ? Also times doing construction when beginning and ending and if doing in weekends? What is the cost of the average home as affects value? How is this going to affect traffic. . I am not able to make the meeting as I work but would like a response please to my questions- thank you

Please see my attached pdf.
Concerns include:
-Retaining pond - safety - sanitation
-water runoff/overflow
-Lot appears empty on map, but has a home on it. This is where the water would flow.

Here is the homeowners at the Park at Babelays petition against the development of the subdivision park common area referenced in this case with 39 homeowner signatures.
If the committee feels after reviewing all the comments and uploaded documents, to move forward with the case, we would like to formally ask for a continuance so we can seek legal council.
Thank you.

On the northeast side of my lot is a ravine which runs up towards the purposed asphalt drive. Six to ten times a year the water from both sides of the ravine runs down into the ravine and causes raging water to build up and drain under my neighbor's driveway!!!! The water runs on each side of an earthen spine in the ravine. The water comes within fifteen yards of my house!!!! Purposed lots 7 thru 14 will be located on the sides of the ravine and drain into the ravine!!!!!! I do not know if there will be more or less water after the development of the lots and I do not think anyone can tell me for sure!!!! I think before the lots are sold and I could be dealing with eight owners that the present owners and developers should make sure that the water is directed towards the middle of the ravine!!! I will be glad to show anyone that is interested exactly where the water flows now, as it has happened twice this year. Eastwood LLC, Knox County Planning, or Ideal Engineering Solutions please come out and take a look before the meeting!!!! Thank you, Jim McFadden

After seeing the drawings and proposed plans, I have some concerns as a neighboring resident. There is a culvert between us and our neighbor to our right. There is a natural water runoff due to the hills and valleys behind my house and our neighbors house. Based on the plans, it appears that there are plans for a retaining pond and then any overflow will be directed through a pipe into the water way through to the culvert. For some reason my house/sunroom doesn't show on the proposed drawings. Is there a reason my house/sunroom isn't show on the drawings? I do not want the additional water routed through my property without proper planning/underground passage. I do not want any flooding potential onto my property due to the development.

I have walked Mountie Ln the past two nights and spoken to the majority of the residents. Everyone I spoke to has concerns and questions. The developer has agreed to meet with us on Wednesday at 7pm. Considering the Planning Committee meeting is scheduled for less than 24 hours later we are asking that the meeting for 3-SA-25-C be postponed.
