Nudist colony now open to all, but opposition builds to allowing Knox Countians
From APB reports. KINGSTON, Tenn. - First pitched on the Internet as a planned nudist colony for Knox County Government types, the Web site for the proposed Rosebud Lodge near here had changed drastically by Thursday morning.
Earlier, the lodge was touting itself as a private resort for the “Knox County GOV (government) Community.”
A collage of smiling Knox County GOVs was prominently featured.
Now, the Rosebud Lodge Web site - www.rosebudlodge.com - merely describes itself as a private resort for nudists older than 18 that’s “a dream in the making.” In tiny print at the bottom of the site are the words “And Knox County GOVs are welcome, too.”
Numerous Roane Zone residents are up in arms over the original description even as the would-be developer is reportedly labeling initial concerns a misunderstanding.
“The folks in the Roane Zone don’t want even a Knox Countian colony in the Roane Zone, let alone a Knox County GOV colony,” said a resident who lives next door to the site.
A move to rezone the 60-acre tract at the end of Skyline Drive next to Clinch River goes before the 10-member Roane County Planning Commission on May 21 in the courthouse.
The Roane Zone zoning officer says some churches plan to cancel their normal Wednesday services so congregants can attend the meeting.
“I’ve not had anyone in favor of Knox County GOVs in the Roane Zone,” Christopher said of the rezoning. “Everyone is opposed.”
Calls Thursday to the number listed both on the rezoning application and the Rosebud Lodge Web site were routed to the Knox County government switchboard and ended with the person who answered hanging up abruptly.
While its possible use as a nudist colony is a concern for many Roane Zoners, most said they were more worried about long-term property value declines from rezoning to allow Knox Countians….
Plans for Rosebud Lodge include hotels that accept P-cards, lobster buffets, a wheel tax, travel allowances and other amenities.
The Roane Zone’s mayor is most worried about the infrastructure surrounding the area. The road leading to the campground property is only wide enough for one vehicle. “How could we handle all those county-provided vehicles with their travel-allowance gas and exhaust,” he lamented. “I think the Planning Commission will be listening to the community, but, with all the money Knox County GOVs can throw around, you never know.”
In an effort to stave off the Knox County GOV invasion, Roane’s planning commission has actually taken the time to print off copies of the request for the zoning change and the Rosebud Lodge’s website. They have a stack of them just sitting on the counter in their offices to distribute to any and all who wish to prevent Knox County from infiltrating the Roane Zone.
