The signage for this case has been placed at the end of a dead end road completely out of view of the community. I have made attempts to contact the owner of the property to discipline plans with no response. From what I understand the large church on this road was also unaware of this being rezoning to light industry. I am requesting on behalf of our community that this case be postponed until the church and the public are correctly notified of this request. I have notified commissioners Kim Frazier and Andy Fox for help regarding this poor sign placement.

The sign for this case has been placed at a spot hidden from public view and does not even stand on the correct property. Attempts have been made to contact the owner to discuss plans with no response. This property sits adjacent to the property now owned by Knox county that can only be used as a park. Rezoning this area would require a large buffer and sound blocking construction in order to maintain the parks character and usefulness.
The church on this road is also unaware of any rezoning attempt. The church has a large playground just a few feet from the only road allowing access to this property which to my understanding is used daily. Large heavy trucks with the inability to stop quickly will cause the park and church pedestrians to be in constant danger. This property also sets on the road that is claimed to be used for the relocation of Bower Field away from Chapman Highway.

We met a few years ago to discuss how the members of the Sayne Lane community do not want any more rezoning to increase population density. This was already granted to a close property that was rezoned. Against the request of the community, Knox county granted an increase of density for that large tract making it into a large subdivision. This is enough. Based on that request, that should satisfy Knox County's desire for population increase. Clearly this is only to benefit the construction company to make more money with added freedom to sell more residences out side of the originally designed zone restrictions that the citizens of the communities found acceptable. STOP SELLING US OUT!

I'm commenting because this area is located in behind my home. I would like to have input if by chance there is a change that is going to allow growth on the hillside in the forest behind me has a large cavern. In the zoning change before, they were not going to build on the hillside. Why do they want to change this?

I want to oppose this zoning change for this property to allow for commerce and any increase of density noting that this would prove challenging to the already increasing population that has been allowed through zoning. This is supposed to be an agricultural area, and should there be a desire to make a commercial location, not the land east of this location in the Mountain Grove area which is already zoned for such allowing for existing traffic for that purpose. Please do not continue to erode the rural setting our community expects based on existing zoning.
