Knoxville Neighborhood Advisory

May 27, 2015 by John Haynes

Knoxville Neighborhood Advisory – Vol. 8, No. 17 – Tuesday, May 26, 2015

1. West Hills Group Schedules Annual Picnic
2. Elected Leaders to Hold South Knoxville Forum
3. Cumberland Avenue: Free Parking, Free KAT Rides, Free Information
4. Three Properties Added for Sale in Homemaker’s Program
5. Neighborhood and Government Calendar

Published by the City of Knoxville’s Office of Neighborhoods to report news important to Knoxville’s residential neighborhoods. News & calendar deadline: 5 p.m. Mondays.

1. West Hills Group Schedules Annual Picnic

West Hills Community Association’s annual potluck picnic will be held Monday, June 15, at the Gazebo in West Hills Park.

The picnic will be held in place of the regularly scheduled monthly neighborhood meeting. Residents should plan to arrive at 6:00 p.m. The Knoxville Zoo will have an event for kids beginning at 6:15. Candidates for political office are welcome. Bring a dish to share, and food will be served at 7:00 p.m.

For more, contact Ashley C. Williams at [email protected] or 865-313-0282.

2. Elected Leaders to Hold South Knoxville Forum

Three elected officials in South Knoxville will hold a public forum at Ijams Nature Center at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 4, to update citizens on issues and projects in South Knoxville.

Citizens are invited to hear about ongoing projects and issues, and to ask questions. The hosts are First District Knoxville City Councilman and Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis, Knox County Commissioner Mike Brown, and Knox County School Board Member Amber Rountree.

3. Cumberland Avenue: Free Parking, Free KAT Rides, Free Information

As Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis is fond of saying, Cumberland Avenue is open for business, so don’t let the City of Knoxville’s Cumberland Avenue Corridor Project prevent you from heading to your favorite restaurant or shop on The Strip.

For one thing, free parking is available through an agreement with Fort Sanders Regional Hospital, whose surface lot at 19th Street and White Avenue can be used for free from 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily, except during football games. The same applies to the parking lot at UT Federal Credit Union, 2100 White Avenue.

Moreover, starting June 1, KAT is offering a Fare-Free Zone along all of Cumberland Avenue. This zone will run from downtown all the way to the western end of Volunteer Blvd., creating an easy trip from downtown to The Strip and back at no charge.

KAT will have bright signage distinguishing its Fare-Free stop locations and will also have information at those stops that will allow users to know when their bus is expected to arrive and depart.

Also, here are several ways to keep up to date on the project so that you can successfully navigate your way to and through the area.

*** App: The CumberlandConnect app is available online as a free download for Android and Apple devices. It was created by Vaughn & Melton, the City’s construction engineering inspections contractor on the project. It includes regular updates, contact information for any questions about the project, and coupons from Cumberland Avenue merchants. (Apps for other devices — Blackberry, Windows and Kindle – will be available at the end of May.)

*** On Line: Vaughn & Melton created a website (www.cumberlandconnect.com), a Facebook page (www.facebook.com/cumberlandconnect), and a Twitter account (@VisitCumberland) to keep everyone posted on the project.

*** Blog: Anne Wallace, project manager with the city’s Office of Redevelopment, mains a blog with regular updates at www.cumberlandconnections.blogspot.com.

4. Three Properties Added for Sale in Homemaker’s Program

The City of Knoxville has recently listed one house and two vacant lots for sale in the Community Development Department’s Homemaker’s Program.

The house, located at 327 Cansler Street in Mechanicsville, is packaged with an adjacent vacant lot. This is a ranch-style home; 2BR/1BA with 769sf; fireplace; covered front and side porches; built approx. 1946; chain link fencing; and concrete driveway.

The empty lots are located at 3401 Bishop Street and 0 Evans Street in Lonsdale.

Under the Homemaker’s Program, the City offers vacant lots and lots with substandard structures for sale to individuals, non-profit organizations and businesses. These properties have been identified by the City for acquisition to further its mission to remove blight, redevelop neighborhoods and provide affordable housing opportunities. The purchaser will be required, in almost all cases, to construct a new dwelling on vacant parcels or rehabilitate existing structures.

Individuals can make an offer on a property by submitting an application. The sales agreement includes a provision that allows the City to take the property back if the new owner fails to make improvements to the property per guidelines.

See http://www.cityofknoxville.org/development/homemaker/ for a copy of the application, along with other details about the program.

New Business in Bearden

May 27, 2015 by John Haynes

This came in over the Administrative mail onto our website. I thought it was worth a posting.

From: Greg Wilson Subject: New garden center in Bearden Message Body: Hi. My name is Greg Wilson. Just wanted to inform your neighborhood and garden club that I opened a new garden center in Bearden at 5805 Walden Drive on March 21 of this year. We sell a variety of indoor plants, pottery, vintage items and garden decor. We also sell shrubs, trees, perennials and herbs. If there is something particular you are looking for, do not hesitate to ask. You can also check out our Facebook or wilsonfinegardens.com. Thank you. — This e-mail was sent from the public contact form on Lakemoor Hills (http://lakemoor.org)

Septic Suggestions?

May 27, 2015 by Clay Aalders

Howdy Folks…

I have a major septic issue I need to resolve, and while I have had one person come out, and I am going to try to reach the person the Dick Graf suggested on the list here, I wanted to ask if anyone else had a recommendation.  Thanks.

Picnic

May 24, 2015 by John Haynes

Thanks, Dick, for your complimentary comments about our picnic yesterday. On behalf of the Lakemoor Hills Homeowner Association’s social committee, we want to thank all of you who helped make our annual neighborhood picnic such a great event!!! A great big thank you goes to Alex Shivers who did such a great job smoking the pork (he put in a 9 hr day total!) and Pat for bringing Debbie for pony rides.The Bounce House was a big hit and we have Forrest Orr of Dean Smith Realtors to thank for sponsoring it. Jim de Ropp did a super job with many tasks, including signs and tents, Suzan Bowman and Carolyn Adkins did so much as “co-chairmen”, as did Mike Parker with the car show, Kenneth Pace and Sandra with our art/craft display, and Geri Mulligan with the plant swap. More big “thank you’s” go to Ryan and Miranda Welch for setting up volleyball, Cheri Perry and Hattie for the fun children’s craft activities, Randy and Leslie Kerns for the wonderful steel drums, Clay Aalder for his fly casting demo, and Marta Vandergrif and Rosemary Burr for manning the welcome table. A huge thank you goes to the following whose help was invaluable: Dick and Ann Graf, Jim and Barbara Kincaid, Charlie Mulligan, John Haynes, Gene Burr, Lynn Kleinfelter, Gail Erwin, John Witherspoon, Connie Holmes, Bill Crown, Bill Terry and Chris Reagan. And last but not least, a huge thanks goes to all of you who brought the delicious covered dishes and desserts, and most of all a sincere note of appreciation for all who supported this opportunity to come together and enjoy great food, fellowship and fun! Diane de Ropp

Cell Tower

May 22, 2015 by John Haynes

Dear Neighbors-

Hopefully, most everyone in the neighborhood is aware of the cell tower issue, even though not all interested could come to our Tuesday meeting. A cell tower company wants to install a 190 foot cell tower on property leased from 3509 Blow Drive. Their first and only antenna company renting space is T Mobile.

As mentioned at the meeting, there is a small working group – Dick Graf, Charlie Mulligan, Gene Burr and John Haynes – who have begun to develop the best defensive plan possible. The plan to fight against the cell tower in our neighborhood was a firm decision made by our LHHA Board.

Cell Tower Violation of Restrictions

May 22, 2015 by John Weaver

Hello all, I’ve done a little research into the procedure that will need to be followed should the land owner and the cell phone tower company refuse to cease and desist building this tower. My advice would be for the HOA to reach out to the land owner immediately to solicit their agreement not to continue their course of action. Should they refuse, a cease and desist letter would be the next step followed by a petition for injunctive relief filed in Knox County Chancery Court. In order to file for an injunction, an injunction bond would have to be posted. The HOA would have to determine how to collect the money to post such a bond, or if those most directly affected wanted to get the ball rolling with the court they could pay the up front cost. I’ve never filed such an action, as my line of work is exclusively Family Law, but I would be willing to draw up the necessary papers and file them. I’ve been told that the injunction bond, charged up front by the court, would be somewhere around $5,000.00. Again, I have no personal experience with that, so my figure may be off.

STOP THE TOWER!

May 22, 2015 by Forrest Orr

As a longtime resident of Lakemoor Hills, I write as one who will be directly affected by the proposed cell tower. My home at 2025 W. Velmetta Circle will be within approximately 500 feet of the tower if built.

The presentation by Ms. Mary Miller at the LHHA meeting on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 will not be rehashed given the excellent synopsis posted by Jim Grey. But I feel compelled to respond to some of her assertions and/or implications.

I am a Tennessee certified residential real estate appraiser (CR-441) and a real estate broker with Dean Smith Realty (00213092). I have been involved in real estate for over 30 years.

Ms. Miller’s assertion that a tower has no effect on value for surrounding properties is without foundation.
