    Complaint Description and Writeup

    Mr. Fulwood: Thanks for talking to me about the Heartland subdivision
    currently under development in south knox county off Highland View Road
    near Chapman Highway. As discussed, I live very close to the property
    and am simply trying to learn about what might happen there. Several of
    my neighbors are also interested.

    I attaching a scan of the concept plan the developers submitted to knox
    metropolitan planning commission. Since it is reduced scale and hard to
    read, I have highlighted the planned roads, including six cul-de-sacs.

    <<heartland plan.PDF>>
    The developers have graded the roads and five of the six cul-de-sacs,
    but as of last week had not yet graded the northernmost cul-de-sac,
    which I have highlighted by drawing an arrow. In the area of this
    planned northernmost cul-de-sac (which is at the base of a steep ridge)
    there is a spring which flows into an old concrete basin (I guess a
    livestock watering tank) and then along the ground for a ways and seeps
    into the ground. I would appreciate it if you can tell me anything
    about plans or requirements for the spring which might affect the
    development.

    The property (about 120 acres) has several sinkholes and some areas that
    apparently are not suitable for septic fields; the developers have said
    they intend to install sewer.

    Thank you,
