A VALENTINE VICTORY! Farragut residents unhappy with 5G By Focus Staff

The Farragut Mayor and Board of Aldermen met on Thursday, February 13 with a brief agenda of business con- cerning two ordinances and three busi- ness items. The bulk of the meeting concerned the Verizon application for 5G small cell antennas that would be placed in residents’ front yards. In both the town administrator’s report and the town attorney’s report a vibrant discus- sion of what the Town of Farragut was doing regarding the Verizon application of January 16th to begin the 5G rollout in Farragut.

Keep it farmland or let ‘em build? Planning commission hears opposing sides By Bill Howard Two of the agenda items at the February 13 meet- ing of Knoxville-Knox County Planning were very similar, and oh so common: whether to allow land currently zoned as agricultural to be rezoned as residential, and therefore allow developers to build homes, businesses, or other structures. Unsurprisingly, residents in each area weren’t happy with the proposed changes. Scott Davis, representing developers Mesana Investments LLC, requested from the commis- sion such a rezoning for about 44 acres at 7711 Thompson School Road in Commission District 8 in the Corryton area. Mesana wants to build up to five dwelling units per acre on the tract. According to the commission, the request is consistent with the Sector Plan.
