Baptist Home Site Is Approved The Asheville City Council, at its meeting last Thursday, unanimously approved the site plan for the proposed Western North Carolina Baptist Home to be located on the old Pearson estate off Richmond Hill Drive. "We recognize that this is a long-needed institution," said Vice Mayor BUI B. Horton. "We're very gratified that it's going to be this close." Wade Huey of Marshall, chairman of the building committee, and John T. Wood, architect, member of Baber, Cort & Wood Architects, ap peared before the council and spoke in the interests of the new project. Asheville City Planning Director Verle R. Emrick Jr. told council the Pearson mansion will be preserved and used for recreation and group activities. The proposed new building will be a 2-story, 36,000-square foot structure containing 48 to 50 apartment units, he said. There will be parking for 77 cars. The site plan had beer reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its July 7 meeting, with the planning commission recommending that council approve the plan subject to three conditions; upgrading the internal sewer line to an eight-inch system, widening the driveways to a minimum of 24 feet and complying with the city's erosion control ordinance. Emrick told council that architect John T. Wood Jr. has indicated that his clients will comply with the three recommendations. Mayor Eugene C. Ochsenreiter Jr. expressed concern about a dangerously sharp curve onPearson Bridge Roaa leading to the site of the proposed development. Emrick said his staff will draft a letter to the State Depart ment of Transportation, asking that special attention be given to this road. Coach Is Well Pleased By GENE MEADOWS Coach As all of you know, we had more than a successful season. It was great! The Islanders won first place in the tournaments and the season was superb with a 15-0 record. To the parents, friends, neighbors and others who coached the bases and backed the Islanders, I say thank you. You and the girls made the team and I was glad to be along "for the ride," and what a ride it was. I was more than happy to present the trophies to George Penland, who financially supported us all the way. With backing like this from him, the parents, and the girls, any coach can't help but win. The trophies are on display at Penland & Sons Dept. Store. A plaque was presented to me by the Islanders which I will cherish always. So we end our season with pride. A team is not made upof just players but all the people who showed they cared. So I say to all of you Islanders, thank you.
