Council approves MHO project


By Matt Tate Decisions about Reems Creek


Village were again at the fore- front of Weaverville Town Coun- cil discussions Monday (Aug. 16) with council approving a Mountain Housing Opportuni- ties subdivision for low-to-mod- erate income families within the high-end development. The development, to be


known as Compass Park, is a 15- lot subdivision that will be ac- cessed through roads in Reems Creek Village, a sticking point for several of the property own-


ers in attendance. Other than Penley Park off


Union Chapel Road, the roads in Reems Creek Village are private. The ownership of the roads took center stage at council meetings earlier this year when developer Bill Dorf asked the town to take over the roads, but estimates put costs of repairing the roads at more than $60,000. Council asked Dorf to fix the


roads before considering adop- tion. Dorf declined, deciding to maintain ownership. Now that the town is out of the equation, the issue of damage becomes a matter between MHO, the de-

velopers and the property own- ers, Councilman Doug Dearth said. MHO project manager Joe


Quinlan said his group would make efforts to mitigate any is- sues with the roads. Owners still fear heavy con-


struction vehicles will further harm the roads. Gayle Smy presented council


with a list of concerns about the MHO project signed by eight property owners. She told coun- cil members there was an abun- dance of affordable housing al- ready in Buncombe County with more than 500 homes available priced between $125,000 and $200,000. The project will be the MHO’s


Self-Help Home Ownership Program where interested buyers can contribute to the construc- tion of their homes in order to reduce the costs. Reems Creek Village has

HOW MUCH SECURITY?


by Michael Creasman, CFP


How impor-


tant a role does Social Security play in Ameri- cans’ retirement plans? Accord-


ing to the non-partisan National Academy of Social Insurance, So- cial Security provides more than half the income of two-thirds of Americans aged 65 years and older and is the sole source for 21 per- cent. How firm is the foundation of this system on which so many rely? A May 2009 report by the program’s trustees indicates that its obligations to retirees will begin to exceed its income from payroll tax- es starting in 2016. By drawing on its reserves, it will be able to meet its full obligations until 2037, after which the reserves will be exhaust- ed and its income will provide the system with its only support.


HINT: Even if Social Security


undergoes changes designed to en- sure its longevity, retirement plan- ning takes personal initiative.


How much money will you


need to retire comfortably? You’ve probably read news reports about the limits of Social Security due to the booming aging population and falling birth rates.
