Im highly opposed to this rezoning. I live very close to this property. Gallaher View is already a dangerous road and increased traffic will make it more so. And please, must we tear down every little speck of woods we have left to put up more housing? Knoxville residents are sick and tired of it. Please leave the little 7 acres of woods, and the animals that live there, alone. This is not welcome.

I oppose the rezoning of the 7.6 wooded acres on S. Gallaher View Road from Agricultural to Planned Residential.
The road is already dangerous. We don't need more traffic on it.
The wooded acreage is one of very few habitats for wildlife in the area.
The proposed rezoning would increase density, traffic, and noise thereby negatively impacting area property values.

I own my residence on Kingsdale Rd, which backs up to Gallaher View Rd - directly across from the proposed rezoning property. I request that you vote no on rezoning this land to planned residential. The property is on a dangerous curve and blind spot on Gallaher with a documented crash history that includes crashes with injuries. We are already seeing single home houses and vacant land on Gallaher and Westland being bulldozed for multi-unit apartments and residences, exponentially increasing the burden on our resources and infrastructure: more daily traffic on the same size roads, destroyed natural habitats, an increase in construction noise and damage from heavy construction equipment. Rezoning 637 S Gallaher View Rd will add more traffic congestion on the most dangerous part of Gallaher and will make driving less safe for the teenagers and residents of our neighborhood. I turn left off Gallaher into my neighborhood right at 637 S Gallaher, and multiple times a week have dodged speeding cars on the curve. In addition to the increased density and traffic, there will be months and months of construction noise, land closures, construction traffic, loss of wooded buffer and natural habitat for rehabilitated owls released in July, a potentially negative impact to property values. Please vote no on rezoning this property.

Our property is located directly across the street from 637 S Gallaher View Road. We respectfully ask the Planning Commission to carefully evaluate the road capacity, traffic safety, construction impacts, tree and wildlife habitat, drainage, and compatibility of the proposed density with the surrounding neighborhood before making a decision on Case #10-G-26-RZ.
Thank you for taking the concerns of area residents into consideration.

I often drive by this expanse of trees on Gallagher View Rd and marvel at what a rarity it is these days to see such a natural habitat undisturbed. It's a beautiful oasis for the neighborhood and creates much needed shade. I know development is inevitable, but please try to preserve as many trees as possible, and take a care for the many insects and animals that call this area home. Thank you.
