I would like to offer the following Amendments to the place type map in the proposed Comprehensive Plan:

1) In Northeast Knox County, the parcels currently proposed as Rural Conservation place type located southwest of Three Ridges Golf Course property, southeast of Ridgeview Road, north of Old Washington Pike, west of Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, east of Luttrell Road, and south of Old Tazewell Pike, be changed to Rural Living place type. This Amendment applies ONLY to those parcels in the above described area that are currently proposed as Rural Conservation.
2) In Northeast Knox County, the parcels currently proposed as Rural Conservation place type located northeast of Three Ridges Golf Course property, southeast of Ridgeview Road, northwest of Rocky Lane, and southwest of Whisper Ridge Lane, be changed to Rural Living place type. This Amendment applies ONLY to those parcels in the above described area that are currently proposed as Rural Conservation.
3) In Northeast Knox County, the parcels currently proposed as Suburban Residential place type located northeast of Bud McMillan and Ellistown Roads, southeast of Washington Pike, northwest of Millertown Pike, and southwest of McGinnis and Roberts Roads, be changed to Rural Conservation place type. This Amendment applies ONLY to those parcels in the above described area that are currently proposed as Suburban Residential, and ONLY to those parcels in the above described area which currently have a zoning designation of Agricultural.
4) A map reflecting the above proposed Amendments will be provided to the Commission office for information purposes.

Commissioners,

I would like to propose a Map Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan by removing the Rural Commercial designation from areas north of I-40 and east of Midway Road, and changing these areas previously designated Rural Commercial to a Rural Living place type. This will not affect any properties currently zoned commercial, and will apply only to AG zoned properties. It will also have no effect on property west of Midway Road or currently in the Midway Business park.

A revised map showing this proposed Amendment will be provided to the Commission office.

Madam Chair,

I would like to request Item #26 be removed from the consent agenda for tonight’s Work Session.

Thank you,

I would reiterate last year’s priorities with my top 3 being:

1. Long-term inpatient Mental Health Facility.
2. TDOT Investment in our roads, interchanges, and intersections (Tazewell Pike at Fairview Rd in my District)
3. Sales Tax Admin Fee/Single Item Adjustment

[Richie Beeler]

Yes

[Richie Beeler]

June 5 is preferable

[Richie Beeler]

I would be interested in serving on Retirement & Pension Board, also for the first time.

[Richie Beeler]

Commissioners,

Items 52 & 53 will also be pulled from consent, as there will be individuals at the Work Session to speak and/or answer questions on these items.

Thank you.

[Richie Beeler]

Commissioners, thank you for your responses. The Special Session for reorganization is set for Thursday, September 1 at 1:30 pm in the Main Assembly Room of the City-County Building. Dru will send notice for publication in Monday’s paper.

[Richie Beeler]

Yes

[Richie Beeler]

Commissioners,

Here is our challenge now. Because Monday is a holiday, it would be necessary for us to get public notice of a hearing in this Sunday’s edition of the Knoxville News-Sentinel in order to meet the 15-day deadline for a hearing on July 18. Unfortunately, the News-Sentinel has told us they will be unable to run the notice this Sunday. This means the soonest we can get notice out is now Tuesday, July 5 in the Knoxville Focus. This puts us back to either the 20th, 21st, or on the 25th immediately prior to the Commission meeting.

While I agree with Commissioner Schoonmaker that this is not ideal, in the essence of time, and now encountering a closing window to even get this noticed by the 5th, I am seeking your concurrence with holding this Public Hearing on Ordinance O-22-6-104 at 5pm on Monday, July 25, with Commission Meeting to immediately follow. We can do our best to notify and work with all potentially affected department heads accordingly.

Thank you for your help.

Richie Beeler
Chairman

[Richie Beeler]

Thank you, Commissioner Hill. Items #48 and #49 will be placed on the non-consent agenda.
