On Tuesday, November 17, Asheville City Council voted to deny the proposed entrance bridge for the 767 development. By a 6 to 1 margin, developer Kevin Jackson's request for an alternate entrance to the 'Meadows at Haw Creek' development was denied. Where this leaves the overall project remains unknown. 

Jackson's attorney had consistently argued that the restrictive covenants in Happy Valley would not prevent using Sleepy Hollow Drive as access to 767, but for unknown reasons has not pursued resolution of the issue. 

Council members struggled with balancing the well known need for new housing with concerns the bridge would worsen flood conditions on the site and downstream. Residents objected to the bridge, which was not in the originally-approved development plan passed by City Council in July 2024, and was only requested later when, according to Jackson, his lenders requested he obtain a second entry option. 

Jackson's attorney, Derek Allen, said they may consider legal action in civil court challenging the Council's decision.
