This boring rip off of a kitschy Sevierville condo building from the early 2000's will be such a terrible backdrop to Gay St. Why are they using oversized gable roofs and a stone veneer over storefront? All the precedents they used fit in much better than this will and it looks nothing like those, it also looks nothing like what the SW plan envisioned for this area.
Alternative compliance should be allowed when complying with the vision of the form based code requires an alternative approach. We can do better.
I am reaching out as my constituents are concerned at this location. I am not against this project, but I do have a few conditions I would like to be added on this location.
I would like lots 61-67 ( in Harrison Springs) to be protected as trees have already been removed. I feel this will cause erosion . I would like the applicant to provide a buffer where natural buffer was removed. I would like the buffer to include 6 ft green giants offset every 6 feet along the property line.
The next condition is I would ask the access would only be Schaeffer Rd. The neighborhood is not comfortable with connections. This is a well established neighborhood and since there is already access to Schaeffer Rd. we request that be the only location for access. Thank you for your consideration and making this a successful project for the applicant and the existing neighbors. Gina Oster, Knox County Commission Chair
