RESORT PROPOSED BETWEEN ROUND TOP AND CARMINE

  

A proposed resort development between Round Top and Carmine would contain up to 100 duplexes and a Christmas Market.  The Fayette County Commissioners took up the item last Thursday in their meeting.  The owner of the proposed development is Dirk Winter and it is designed after developments in California including Cambria Pines Lodge and Christmas Market.  Winters is asking the Commissioners for permission to divide the 150 acre property into 5 parcels.  Winters said the property will get its water from the city of carmine, and said the Christmas Market will be built first.  He said the duplex construction will follow with a maximum of 100 units.

Commissioners brought up the question of traffic congestion around the resort.  Winters said he is willing to pay for any improvements needed to surrounding roadways.  Commissioners agreed to hold a workshop meeting in two weeks to review the plan and any action on the development will be deferred until then.
