Very recently people in board positions of various Farragut Home Owner Associations have joined together to form a new citizen’s group named Farragut Citizens for Responsible Growth and Development, also known as FCRGD. The need for this new group was caused by the attempt to rezone the open land on Smith Road near Kingston Pike for apartments.
FCRGD will hold a town meeting at the Farragut Town Hall Thursday August 13th at 7:00 PM in the meeting room, where early voting is held. The purpose of the meeting is to present in an organized manner the reasons for opposing the R6 rezoning for apartments as requested by Continental Properties, a Wisconsin company. Everyone is invited. We especially invite the property owner Horne Properties, the rezoning
applicant Continental Properties of Wisconsin, the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission, the Farragut Mayor and Board of Aldermen, and the Farragut Planning Division Staff. Most importantly, we want the people of Farragut to learn about this rezoning.
In December 2012, eight of the nine current Farragut MPC members voted in favor of the Farragut Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Policy 1 of the plan identifies the actions to be taken should rezoning and development be inconsistent with the plan. The open land on Smith Road proposed for apartments, Parcel 142 069, is NOT consistent with the Farragut Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This rezoning should be voted down.
The FCRGD looks forward to your attendance at the town meeting on August 13, 7:00 pm, in the Community Room at the Farragut Town Hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive. Contact: Michael Wilson 559 362‐8462 [email protected]
