Washam Potts Infill Hearing Tonight

By Dave Vieser — An infill project involving 16 homes adjacent to Washam Potts Road, approximately a quarter-mile from the Westmoreland Road intersection, will be the subject of a Planning Board public hearing Nov. 9 at Cornelius Town Hall.

Applicant Nate Bowman is seeking to amend the town’s current zoning regulations for the property at 9910 Washam Potts Road to allow construction of 16 single-family homes, each with a minimum lot size of 6,600 square feet. The seven-acre parcel includes an existing single-family home built in 1924 that will be preserved.

County tax records show the property is owned by Rachel Anne Potts of Huntersville and has an assessed value of $1.33 million.

At previous meetings on the project, most concerns raised by neighbors involved how drainage from the new homes would be handled.

The Planning Board will make a recommendation to the Town Board, which will make the final decision on the zoning request.

The hearing begins at 6 p.m. at Town Hall.
