Reems Creek Residential Community
There is an email circulating around town which brought news of the proposed Reems Creek Residential Community development to my attention:
Residents in the Pleasant Grove Road, Blevins Road, and Parker Cove Road area were surprised last Monday to learn about a 280-unit condo development, ready for approval by the Weaverville Board of Adjustment. Their concern stems not only from the size of the proposed development but to the lack of public comment or input. The Board of Adjustment meeting was continued (because of a lack of quorum) and is re-scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 19 at the Town Hall. At that time, the developer will present the proposed development plan and the Board of Adjustment is scheduled to vote on it. It is likely this development will affect Reems Creek Road residents as well, since it provides the possibility of an additional 500+ cars on that road. Other residents along Reems Creek will be affected by the building of water lines and sewer lines to connect the development to existing pipes.
Details about this project, as provided to me by affected residents, are listed below. This did not come from the developer, with whom I have not had contact. There is also no information about Reems Creek Residential Community nor Elk Mountain Partners available online. I encourage concerned or curious residents to attend the December 19 meeting to hear from the developer directly about the project and/or to voice their concerns.
