These two lines in that document struck me as funny:

(3) Traffic is a major issue on Altamont Road which cannot be widened and
isn’t intended to handle commercial traffic
(7) Friends of Paris Mountain State Park are concerned about the view
change from the park and the effect it could have on a site visited by
400,000 people a year
They are not related. Visitors of Paris Mountain State Park are not required to travel on Altamont Road. The complaint that traffic would increase is legitimate, despite the fact that traffic will increase regardless of the rezoning request. The complaint that the view from within the park would be affected is likely legitimate as well, although debatable. As a visitor to the park and local taxpayer, I do not see how this project would negatively affect the view from within the park.

It took me a while to figure out why you thought this was funny.
You don't use Altamont Rd. to get to Paris Mt. State Park, but this property does back up to the park, I believe. The entrance to the development would be on Altamont, but the entrance to the park is from State Park Rd which is wider and could be widened further.
A Paris Mountain homeowner who wants to develop 48 acres of land near the top of the Greenville mountain said he plans to revise his condominium plans when he presents them at a public meeting in front of the Greenville Planning Commission today.
Eric Kaufmann said he would knock down the building height of the condos from five stories to three, lowering the height from a maximum of 85 feet to 45 feet.
He also plans to split the main building from one sprawling 336,000 square-foot structure to three slightly smaller buildings, he said.
“What we’ve done is added three cooling garden roofs, split it up into three separate structures and reduced the overall square-footage by 26,000 square feet,” Kaufmann told GreenvilleOnline.com today.
Kaufmann still plans to build a 10,000-square-foot spa and wellness center on a hillside overlooking a 3.5 acre existing manmade lake. A 6,000-square-foot lake house would sit on the shores of the lake and would house a restaurant and bar open to members, he said.
Plans also include a 5,000-square-foot nature center and a 5,000-square-foot arts and crafts barn.
Greenville County Planning Commission will hold a public comment session at 4 p.m. today, in Conference Room D at County Square to hear from the community on the rezoning request to turn nearly 50 acres of mountain land that overlooks Paris Mountain State Park into the condominium development.
Developer has withdrawn rezoning request. Unfortunately this means the 74 home subdivision can now get built. One step forward, two steps back.
