I do not believe the application for rezoning should be denied. The location is not designed for the use they have planned. It is also a very bad intersection already. Now you will have traffic coming off the 25/70 ramp to cross over at the last minute with trailer causing more wrecks. This will mean more people will lose their lives at this intersection. I am not happy that people from west Knoxville want to make a junk area in our front yard when they would not in their area. East Knoxville was once a place with small businesses we could be proud to support. Now everyone wants to put businesses in our area that they do not want in other areas. Please do not allow this to happen.

To whom it may concern.
My name is Robert H. I live in the four-way Inn community. I use this intersection every day and have since 2009. The amount of traffic has increased so much on Ashville hwy in these years is unbelievable. I am not opposed of this business coming into our area but this is not the location for it. That intersection is very dangerous especially for vehicles pulling trailers for parts. There are other properties around that are better suited for this type of business. The buyer should have checked the codes and considered the traffic before purchasing. Many people loved Cardins drive in and came from all around but no one can say that it wasn't a dangerous place to get in and out of. This was 200 yards past this intersection. Now imagine how dangerous it is right in the middle of this intersection. In short if this is allowed to happen the deaths that will occur from this action and it will happen, will ultimately be on those who made it possible.
