The project overlooks Lake Apopka near County Road 455 under which a Timucuan tribe burial site is located, Combs contends. The site is 40 miles west of Downtown Orlando.

She argues 500 single-family and multifamily homes and two 18-hole golf courses planned at the site by Ginn Development Co. of Palm Coast, FL should be not be allowed over ground sacred to Native Americans. But a just-completed independent archaeological investigation ordered by Lake County finds evidence of human life at the County Road 455 location but no traces of human bones.

A county planning department staffer tells GlobeSt.com on condition of anonymity the investigation by Archaeological Consultants Inc. of Sarasota, FL "closes the book, so far as the county is concerned." Unless Combs can supply documentary evidence of the burial site, a development order for Ginn Development's estimated $75 million project would not be rescinded, the county maintains.
