A proposed lalrge scale housing development in Henderson County on tfhe former Tap Root Dairy Farm property on Butler Bridge Road has hit another stumbling block.
A vote Thursday to approve the request failed at the county planning board hearing, the county planning director said.
Developers had already scaled the project plans back to include fewer homes, which would have been built on the former Tap Root Dairy property.
The request now moves on to the board of commissioners, who will schedule a public hearing.
The property spans the area from Butler Bridge Road north to the Asheville Airport and is in between I-26 and the French Broad River.
Earlier attempts to sell and develop the property, once as a shopping mall, all have failed.
The property has belonged to the Johnston family for generations, who operated it as one of the largest and most successful dairy farms in the state...until they opted for retirement several years ago.
