Hi Planning Commission, My husband and I live at [redacted] Snowood Dr (Neighbors) which is 2 lots over from where we found out on KGIS that Braden Family Properties bought a vacant lot since we saw the Knox Planning sign. The lot has a sign on our street with the #4W25RZ. I reached out to Mr Josh Braden with Braden Family Properties as I already followed him on Facebook before I saw the sign as I love his work. We would love to see 2 houses built on that lot, 3 would be excessive. He said the city was having problems with him putting just 2 houses, and 3 would be too many as that back alley extension off Ridgecrest is not wide enough and the lot size would be not big enough. The street would need to be widened to accommodate the higher traffic volume. The Trash and UPS/FedEx/ Amazon are already having to back down that street. The area would love to see 2 more houses as it would boost sales at-the grocery stores and area restaurants. Kroger is within walking distance and is only 1 mile away. Please approve him for 2 houses so he can start building them and also help our resell value to our house!! Thank you! Katie Stephens
To whom it may concern: Though it maybe be good for the economy, I truly do not believe more than one dwelling should be allowed on the mentioned lot. All the surrounding houses have been here for decades. The people who have lived here for many years have grown accustomed to the calm and quietness of the area. Adding multiple residences to a lot that has been always been vacant will completely disrupt the norm that all the other residents who have been here for many years. Adding even more traffic to our quiet little street. There is also the matter of the driveway/access to the lot. There is no real access other than the very small back street that has trouble enough getting recycling and trash pick up for the small number of residents. Im not sure its ideal to have even more traffic on that street. Please take these issues into consideration. Thank you, Snowood neighbor
