MPC membership GOLDEN GUYS questioned by County Commission By Mike Steely [email protected]

Resentment over policies of the Metropoli- tan Planning Commission seems to be grow- ing among some Knox County residents. The debate over requiring sidewalks in some new county subdivisions sparked ques- tions about the power of the commission. Commissioner Brad Anders, who has announced he may seek the office of Knox County mayor, asked pointedly in a meeting recent- ly, “Do we need the planning commission?” The real question is whether the county will maintain its membership in the MPC and, if not, how would the county form its own agency. Scott Davis, a developer and former Knox County commissioner, told The Focus recent- ly that something to be considered is a legal challenge to city appointees voting on county matters before the MPC. Currently Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett appoints seven MPC members and Mayor Mad- eline Rogero appoints six members. Both city and county members consider all issues coming before PHOTO BY KELLY KEARSE the commission, elect their own chair and vice The Catholic Fighting Irish enjoy the moment after capturing the TSSAA Class 5A state football championship with chair, and pass most of their decisions to the Knox a 45-28 win over Beech Thursday night at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville.

Some issues, according to MPC Execu- tive Director Nathan Green, are MPC only deci- sions and don’t go beyond the planners or need other approval. He told The Focus recently that the state code places the authority of subdivi- sion requirements squarely with the MPC without Overcrowding at Lonsdale any further approval or disapproval.
