Peninsula Club maintenance facility setback variance

Novant healthcare facilities on Westmoreland Road and Holiday Lane

Two Novant medical projects came before the board: one approved near Alexander Farms, one denied on the waterfront. The denial keeps the Holiday Lane site open for lake-oriented development but leaves residents facing a 20-40 minute drive to the nearest Novant emergency department.
