Mr. Brede presented a preliminary plan for the subdivision.

King Horn Ridge will be a log home community. The knoll has been excavated down 35 feet. The roads will be 18 foot paved roads with a 60 foot paved cul-de-sac. Mr. Brede has worked closely with the Haywood County Health Department to be assured that the septic tanks will be set correctly with the downgrade of the proposed parcels.

Five acres of the subdivision has been dedicated as preserves/green space. There will be a common area maintenance agreement for the homeowners. All lots have views. The elevation could be as high as 3500 feet. The drainage from the area will go down the road to an existing culvert and then to Hall’s pond. The project will be developed in such a manner as to protect nature. The setbacks will be 25-10-20. The road will be paved. The lots range from .662 to 1.431 acres. The lot sizes exceed Residential 1 regulations. The development will have Sanitary District water.

Mr. David Pope representing Smoky Mountain Retreat came before the board requesting approval for lots E13, 14, 15, and 17.

The Planning Board asked that the slope of the road be noted on the plan.

Mr. Case was concerned about the steepness and the switchbacks. Mr. Case asked that it be noted on the plat that the roads will be paved within one-year and the linear feet of each road be shown on the plan.
