Spirit Cove faces yard sign dispute in Henderson County zoning hearing
Spirit Cove plans to develop a site using Newfoundland dogs and Gypsy Varner horses near Evans Road amid opposition from nearby residents who report a driver removing yard signs placed on private property. Deputies retrieved three signs and advised civil court action. Spirit Cove officials defend the signs as illegal placement, while noting environmental and access concerns tied to Kanuga land. Patti Sutherland touts Newfoundland therapy dogs as fitting for healing work at hospitals and first responders.
