The commission will discuss the document with the petitioners' attorney, Michael Cully, at an open hearing on Tuesday in the courthouse. "Obviously it's something he doesn't think planning and zoning would agree with." "No one seems to know what he wants," said Kathy Clark, a spokeswoman for Friends of Table Rock Lake. The new entity would be called "Village of Table Rock," but the petition does not describe what, if any, construction or use is planned for the mostly undeveloped property. The property lies roughly between Kimberling City and Indian Point. Plaster, chairman of the board and president of Evergreen National Corp., Branson, recently petitioned the Stone County Commission to incorporate as a village about 500 acres he owns on the so-called DD Peninsula on Table Rock. The lakeside community includes about 1,600 homes - many of them high-end housing - 15 resorts and several businesses along narrow, winding two-lane lake roads. "He's had several projects presented to planning and zoning and been turned down." "Our concern is if he does have a village, he'll be able to bypass planning and zoning and build anything he wants," said Wayne Miles, a Springfield doctor who has had a home off DD Highway for 20 years. The residents group plans to discuss Plaster's petition during its annual meeting at 7 p.m. The plan appears to have been made possible by a late change to a bill in the last legislative session. Plaster's plan to incorporate 400 to 500 acres would invite unchecked development around the lake community, and threaten quality of life and water. Members of the Friends of Table Rock Lake say they worry Robert W. Residents and resort owners around DD Highway at Table Rock Lake are alarmed over a Lebanon businessman's petition to make his property an incorporated village, removing it from Stone County jurisdiction as well as planning and zoning. Law appears to have been changed to allow village incorporation.
