[1. CALL TO ORDER]

[4. APPROVAL OF AGENDA]

[5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - JUNE 7, 2021]

[6. CITIZENS COMMENTS]

[00:04:21]

AUTHORITY TO COME DOWN AND ASSURE THAT ITS ENFORCEMENT KNOW FOR THESE REASONS WE BELIEVE THAT THE SELLERS. DOES THAT DISCLOSURE THAT YOU HAVE IS REDUNDANT AND IS NOT NECESSARY IN THE TRANSACTION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

NEXT IS ANDY TWIST TO GOOD AFTERNOON. >> ANDY TWIST THOUGH.

I'VE BEEN A PRACTICING REALTOR FOR 29 YEARS HILTON HEAD ON THE ISRAEL FLOOD INSURERS.

IT'S SOMETHING THIS ON TOP OF MOST PEOPLE'S MINDS. OUR RESTATE WHAT JEAN HAS SAID THAT IS IS DISCLOSED AND SELF DISCLOSURE IS PART OF THE CONTRACT IS PART OF NOW

[00:05:02]

NATIONAL WEB SITES FOR EVERY PROPERTY TO BE DISCLOSED. >> THIS OVERLAY DISTRICT DECLARATION WHICH WOULD HAVE REQUIRED TO BE SIGNED AS THEY SAID AT THE CLOSING WHICH I

THINK WOULD BE WAY TOO LATE. >> WITH ALL OF THESE TOPICS ARE COVERED NOW BY BOTH THE BUYER AND BUYER'S AGENT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES HANDLING THE PRODUCT PROPERLY.

>> SO WE FEEL LIKE THAT WE DON'T NEED TO DO REDUNDANT STEPS ON DECLARING WHETHER WE LIVE IN A PROPERTY THAT MIGHT BE IN A FLOOD AS WE TELL PEOPLE JUST CALLED THE LOWCOUNTRY FOR REASON. AND SO WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO NOT NEED ADD TO THE BURDEN OF A REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS LIKE WE HAVE ONE MORE SPEAKER STATE YOUR AND YOUR PLACE. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS JESSE WHITE AND I AM WITH A COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE HERE REPRESENTING OUR OVER 3000 MEMBERS WHO RESIDE AND ENJOY THE LOWCOUNTRY HERE. AND WE'RE SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF BOTH THE COASTAL RESILIENCE OVERLAY ORDINANCE AND THE FELL ORDINANCE THAT ARE BEFORE YOU TODAY.

THE RESILIENCE OVERLAY PROVIDES A CLEAR RATIONAL SCIENCE BASED DISCLOSURE THAT SIMPLY INFORMS PEOPLE AND PROVIDES THEM WITH RELEVANT INFORMATION THAT INFORMS THEIR TRANSACTION.

IT ADVISES THEM THAT THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF FUTURE FLOODING ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR PROPERTY. THAT'S BASED ON ITS LOCATION IN FEMA'S ZONE X SHADED FLOOD ZONE WHICH ALSO CORRELATES TO THE 500 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN AS THE ISLAND PACKET RECENTLY REPORTED IN A FRONT PAGE STORY BEFORE COUNTERING COUNTY IS AT THE HIGHEST RISK OF CUMULATIVE IMPACTS IN THE COUNTRY FOR A COUNTY. SO WE REALLY CAN'T AFFORD TO IGNORE THIS REALITY AND ENSURING THAT PEOPLE HAVE THIS VERY RELEVANT AND STRAIGHTFORWARD INFORMATION IS THE LEAST THAT WE CAN DO TO ARM THEM WITH THE ABILITY TO MAKE A GOOD DECISION FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR INVESTMENT. WHILE IT'S TRUE THAT THERE ARE OTHER DISCLOSURES THAT ARE REQUIRED THIS PARTICULAR DISCLOSURE COVERS A GAP THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN THE DISCLOSURES UNDER STATE LAW. AND IT ALSO IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT REDUNDANCY WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY RATING SERVICE MARKS AS IMPORTANT AND ENCOURAGE MORE REDUNDANCY IN THE COMMUNICATION OF FLOODING RISKS.

WE ALSO SUPPORT THE FULL ORDINANCE WHICH IS RESTRICTING THE USE OF FILTERED.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT'S NOT PROHIBITING THE USE OF PHIL DOOR.

AND IT'S NOT PROHIBITING THE USE OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY WITHIN A 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN. IT'S SIMPLY ENCOURAGING DEVELOPERS TO USE OTHER TOOLS WITHIN THEIR TOOLBOX TO ELEVATE THE STRUCTURES FOR DEVELOPMENT. AND LIKEWISE THE COASTAL RESILIENCE OVERLAY DOESN'T PROHIBIT ANY DEVELOPMENT. IT'S SIMPLY PROVIDING INFORMATION AND ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE MOVING ARE LIVING IN THIS AREA OR ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION THAT MEETS THEIR NEEDS BEST. AND WE WOULD ASK THAT IN ORDER TO REDUCE FURTHER RELIANCE ON FELL THAT THE COMMITTEE CONSIDER REVISING THE BLANKET EXEMPTION FOR SINGLE FAMILY TO EXCLUDE MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS AND D FROM THAT EXEMPTION AND CONSIDER WHAT THAT OVERLAY EXTENDING IT TO INCLUDE INCLUDE THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN AS

WELL AS THE 500 YEAR. THANK YOU. >> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT AT THIS TIME? WE HAD TWO THREE MINUTES OR YES

. >> THE AND THIS IS THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY WE WILL NOT BE HAVING PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE END OF THIS HOUR. CAN I SAY ONE THING JUST IN

CASE THEY LEAVE BEFORE HIS PUBLIC COMMENT? >> WE DON'T.

WE DON'T MAKE COMMENTS. NO, IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE LATER THINKING WHEN WE'RE DISCUSSING THE ORDINANCES OR WHATEVER THEY MADE COMMENTS ON.

YES, GO AHEAD. YEAH. JANAY, I'M JANET GRESHAM AND I'M THE CEO OF THE VIEW JASPER COUNTY ASSOCIATION. AND I WANT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST A STATEMENT THAT WAS JUST MADE OUR CURRENT SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY DISCLOSURE DOES COVER PROPERTIES IN THIS ZONE WHICH SOME EX THE SHADED ZONE ACTS SO I KNOW IN THE OPEN THE BODY OF THE ORDINANCE. IT SAYS THAT THE DISCLOSURE

[00:10:05]

DOES NOT COVER THOSE PROPERTIES . THAT IS NOT CORRECT.

EVERY PIECE OF PROPERTY IN BEAUFORT COUNTY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY BEAUFORT COUNTY IS

COVERED BY THE DISCLOSURE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

[00:20:08]

FORWARD. OK. GETTING BACK TO OUR REGULAR

[13. AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ABANDONMENT OF AN EASEMENT ENCUMBERING PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS TMS NO. R100 016 000 0199 0000.]

GENDER. WE HAVE NUMBER 13 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE BASEMENT OF AN EASEMENT AND COVERING PROPERTY IDENTIFIED IS OUR 100 0 1 6 0 0 0 0 1 9 9 0 0 0.

AND WHO'S GONNA DO THAT? IS THAT GONNA BE MS. WILSON?

>> COMMITTEE CHAIR YES. AND I AM THE LUCKY WINNER TODAY.

GERARD FELIX. CAMILLE THE SIDE COULD NOT MAKE IT OK.

MANY OF YOU ON NATURAL RESOURCE COMMITTEE MAY REMEMBER BACK IN 2018 WE WERE DEALING WITH PROPERTY DRAINAGE ASSOCIATED WITH JESSE'S LANE AND A FULL CIRCLE IS CHAIRMAN DAWSON DISTRICT. WE ORIGINALLY HAD EASEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

THERE WERE SOME HOLES THAT COVERAGE IS REQUIRED TO FILL IN THOSE GAPS IN THE COVERAGE

LIMIT. >> THE KENT NATURAL RESOURCE COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL DIRECTED US TO TRY AND FILL IN THAT DRAINAGE SYSTEM WHICH REQUIRED GO IN AND CONDEMNATION.

>> AND WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING ON A CONDOM NATION ASSOCIATED WITH HEIRS PROPERTY WITH THAT PARCEL YOU MENTIONED THAT I'M JUST GOING TO CALL. WELL, YOU DID MENTION THAT PARCEL IT'S PARCEL 0 0 6. CAN TIFFANY OR SARAH PUT THE MAP UP THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH IT? YES, IT WAS. SO WHEN YOU PUT THE MAP, I'M JUST GOING TO SHOW YOU. SO YOU SEE PARCEL IF YOU CAN GO DOWN THE PARCEL 0 0 6.

THAT'S THE ONE WE'RE GOING TO CONDEMNATION BEEN DONE ON PARCEL 0 1 1 9 THAT HAS AN EASEMENT THAT WE ALREADY HAVE GOING THROUGH IT. THAT PROPERTY OWNER IS A RELATIVE PARCEL 0 0 6. THE PEOPLE THAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH ON.

THE ATTORNEYS HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE CONDEMNATION HAVE COME UP WITH AN AGREEMENT THAT IF WE RIBAUT THIS SHOWN IN THE STRIPED LINES THAT YOU'RE GOING AROUND THE PROPERTY THERE THAT THEY WILL THEY CAN SETTLE THIS CONDEMNATION. SO THAT WOULD REQUIRE US TO BANNED THAT EASEMENT THAT'S ALREADY THERE BY 0 1 1 9 AND THIS WILL NOT ACTUALLY TAKE EFFECT UNTIL THE COMBINATION OF THE PROCESS IS FINALLY RAISED.

BUT WE NEED TO HAVE A COUNTY COUNCIL TAKE ACTION TO SAY YES, WE CAN ABANDON THAT EASEMENT AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DO. OK.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I ASK FOR A MOTION?

ALL RIGHT. ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO DO THIS. >> WE MOVE AS CHAIRMAN.

WE MOVE THAT YOU ACCEPT STAFF RECOMMENDATION ON THIS PROJECT. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN DAWSON. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND COUNCILMAN GLOVER

SECOND IN WITHOUT EXCEPTION WILL GO FORWARD WITH THIS. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MISQUOTES AND SORRY WE KEPT YOU THINK. OKAY.

YEAH, I WAS THE LUCKY WINNER TODAY. >> ALL RIGHT.

SO NOW WE'RE DOWN TO NUMBER 14 A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION FOR PUBLIC ACCESS

[14. RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION 2020/21 FOR PUBLIC ACCESS AND PASSIVE RECREATION PROJECTS – PHASE II ]

AND PASS A RECREATION PROJECT SPACE TO MISS MISS STEPHANIE'S GONNA TALK TO US ABOUT HELLO AGAIN. SO THIS IS A MINUTE AND AN AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION TWENTY TWENTY DASH TWENTY ONE WITH WAS AN AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION TWENTY NINETEEN FORTY NINE.

THE REASON THESE ARE COMING TO YOU IS BECAUSE AS I BROUGHT THESE TO YOU IN TWENTY 19 FOR THE PASSIVE PARK PROJECTS I BELIEVE I DID STATE THAT AS TIME GOES ON PRIORITIES MAY CHANGE AND THAT WAS MY BEST GUESS AT THE TIME AS TO WHERE THE BOND FUNDING FOR THE 20 PERCENT BOND FUNDS WOULD BE ALLOCATED TO. SO THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THIS RESOLUTION WAS BECAUSE OF A DIFFERENCE IN SOME PRIORITIES FROM ONE OF THE PROPERTIES AND IT'S THE SAME WITH THIS ONE. THERE'S A SMALL CHANGE IN THE PRIORITIES.

I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT THAT WE HAVE LEGAL ISSUE REGARDING ACCESS TO PICK ANY POINT THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE I SHOULD CONTINUE TO FURTHER PLAN FOR PUBLIC ACCESS ON IT. SO NOT KNOWING HOW LONG THAT MAY TAKE AND ALSO KNOWING THAT OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT HATES TO HAVE MONEY JUST SIT AROUND IN AN ACCOUNT FOR YEARS ON END.

I'D LIKE TO REALLOCATE THE FUNDING THAT WE ORIGINALLY ALLOCATED TO PICNIC POINT TO GO TO TWO PROPERTIES THAT I'M CURRENTLY IN A CONCEPTUAL PLAN FOR THAT HAVE A HIGH INTEREST FROM THE PUBLIC AND THAT IS THE PINE VIEW PROPERTY HERE ON LADY'S ISLAND AND THE BAILEY

[00:25:03]

MEMORIAL PARK PROPERTY WHICH IS DOWN IN BLUFFTON. I WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE CONCEPTUAL PLANS FINISHED. THIS FUNDING WILL ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE TO DO THE CIVIL AND ARCHITECT DRAWINGS FOR THOSE PLANS. THEY'RE PRETTY SIMPLE EASY PROJECTS AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO START CONSTRUCTION ON THEM RELATIVELY SOON.

IF THIS REALLOCATION GOES FORWARD I WILL TAKE QUESTIONS. >> I WANT TO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS JUGGLING AND REALLOCATION. DO YOU WANT TO LEARN A QUESTION

WITH. >> YEAH. JUST REFRESH MY MEMORY.

THE PINE VIEW CONCEPT CALLED QUITS WITH WHAT'S WAS THE CONCEPT FULL PAGE VIEW.

SURE WE ARE FINISHING UP THE CONCEPTUAL PLANS. >> THEY'RE GOING TO COME FORWARD TO Y'ALL PROBABLY LATER THIS YEAR PROBABLY OCTOBER'S GOING TO BE HERE IN SEPTEMBER.

BUT THE GENERAL PLAN FOR BOTH OF THOSE PROPERTIES IS REALLY JUST HIKING BIKING TRAIL PINE VIEW BECAUSE THERE IS SEWER ACCESS. WE'LL HAVE A SMALL RESTROOM.

BUT BOTH OF THEM WILL HAVE AN ENTRANCE GATE, A PARKING LOT. YOU SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID AT WHICH IN POINT PINE VIEW WILL HAVE A LITTLE RESTROOM BAILEY MEMORIAL PARK.

SOME OF THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK WE GOT WAS TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS GOLF CART PARKING DOWN THERE FOR THE WHOLE JOY COMMUNITY. SO WE'LL PUT SOME LITTLE SPACES DOWN THERE FOR SOME GOLF CARTS.

SO THERE'S GONNA BE A COUPLE TWEAKS HERE AND THERE, SOME BOARD WALKING, SOME WILDLIFE PLATFORMS BUT REALLY JUST TRAILS THROUGH THE WOODS WITH SOME SMALLER ENTITIES THAT'LL

BE A LOT MORE RECREATIONAL TYPE ONLY FOR PEOPLE BIKING SO. >> YES.

SO YOU FEE FOR A LOW FEE? >> NO SIR. I DON'T CHARGE ANY OF THE FEES FOR THE PROPERTY. YEAH. NOT.

WELL NOT UNLESS THE COUNCIL DIRECTS THAT BUT GENERALLY NATURE PARKS DON'T CHARGE USER

FEES. >> WHAT IS THE ISSUE THAT WE ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT PUBLIC MADE ABOUT PARKS WAS MAINTENANCE. SO I GUESS YOU HAVE BUILT IN CALLS INTO THAT.

I KNOW YOU SAW SOME TIMBER IS LIKE TIMBER. IS THAT A MEANS FOR HELPING TO MAINTAIN THESE PUBLIC ACCESS PARKS AND STUFF SO THE TIMBER PROJECT THAT I HAVE NOW WILL HELP WITH SOME COSTS BUT IT IS KIND OF A ONE TIME DEAL BECAUSE OF THE PROPERTIES THAT WE HAVE ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE TO DO FULL ON CIVIL CULTURE.

>> AS FAR AS LIKE ROTATION OF PINES AND EVERY 20 YEARS HAVING A CLEAR CUT IN THAT KIND

OF THING. >> SO MAINTENANCE DOES. I DO TRY TO FIND PARTNERS WHETHER IT'S WITH CITY OF , BLUFFTON DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. WE DO HAVE YOU KNOW OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT HAS THE GROUNDS CREW AND I'VE WORKED WITH THEM ON BUYING A NEW LAWNMOWER SO THAT WE HAVE DEDICATED LAWN MOWER TO THE TO THE PASSIVE PARKS.

SO I'M HOPING TO KIND OF CONTINUE TO BUILD THE PROGRAM.

BUT THESE TWO PROPERTIES I COULD SEE HAVING SOME PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS OR OTHER MUNICIPALITIES TO HELP WITH MAINTENANCE OR FRIENDS GROUPS,

BUSINESS. >> IS THERE ANY VALUE IN THE DONATION BOX AT THE PARK WHERE

PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY DONATE MONEY? >> I WOULD RATHER HAVE A DONATION COME THROUGH OUR WEBSITE OR DIRECTLY TO OUR DEPARTMENT.

WHEN YOU PUT A DONATION BOX OUT ON PROPERTY THAT IS NOT FULLY STAFFED YOU HAVE THE

OPPORTUNITY FOR VANDALISM AND IN THIEVING. >> YOU NEED A PROMOTION.

WE NEED EMOTIONS. YES MA'AM. OK.

AND THIS COULD ONLY BE AN ISSUE ,JIM. OK.

THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN GOVERNMENT DIRECT FUNDS TO REDIRECT THE FUNDS.

YES. FROM PYGMY POINT TO BUT UP TO THE PINE VIEW AND BAILEY MEMORIAL. WHILE SECOND THAT. SECOND BY COUNCIL CUTTING IN ANY EXCEPTIONS THERE ARE NONE. THIS WILL GO FORWARD TO FULL COUNCIL.

>> THANK YOU. NEXT VENTURES TO TO. SO.

I DON'T KNOW. CAN YOU BRING UP THE MAP? THIS IS WE'RE ON NUMBER 15.

[15. OKATIE RIVER PARK CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN PRESENTATION]

YES. MA'AM. OKATIE RIVER PARK CONCEPTUAL

MASTER PLAN PRESENTATION. >> YES. AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH MR. ROBERT GRAVES REGARDING DEVELOPING OF NOT ONLY HIS PROPERTY BUT ALSO KIND OF PLANNING AND SOME DETAILS REGARDING DEVELOPMENT OF THE

[00:30:05]

ACTUAL OKATIE RIVER PARK WHICH IS 18 ACRES THAT WAS PURCHASED FROM MR. GRAVES SOME TIME AGO.

THIS IS REALLY JUST THIS IS JUST A PRESENTATION TO YOU. THERE DOES NOT NEED TO BE A MOTION BUT IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR ANY EDITS, I'M HAPPY TO TO DISCUSS THOSE HERE OR AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE IF ANYBODY WANTS TO. EMAIL ME.

WE DID GO THROUGH TWO PUBLIC INPUT SESSIONS. >> ONE WAS A SURVEY TO GET AN IDEA OF BASED ON OUR DEFINITION OF PASSIVE RECREATION WHAT TYPES OF ACTIVITIES PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE HERE. AND THE TOP THREE ACTIVITIES WERE HIKING, BICYCLING, HIKING, SLASH WALKING, BICYCLING AND KAYAKING. SO WE TOOK THOSE AND DRAFTED A PLAN AND THEN BROUGHT THE DRAFT PLAN BACK TO THE PUBLIC IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AND SAID OK, BASED ON THE ACTIVITIES YOU WANTED. THIS IS KIND OF THIS IS THE LAYOUT WE WE PUT TOGETHER.

>> WE DID RECEIVE SOME FEEDBACK FROM THAT AND MADE A FEW TWEAKS TO THE PLAN BASED ON THAT.

IN SESSION FEEDBACK AND THIS IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY. SO STARTING AT THE RIGHT OF THE PROPERTY AS I'LL MOVE US FROM RIGHT TO LEFT WHICH IS ACTUALLY FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ALONG THE PROPERTY WE WILL HAVE AN ENTRANCE AND THIS ENTRANCE AGAIN LOOKS VERY SIMILAR WHICH IN POINT IT'S GOING TO HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TIMED GATE. SO HOURS WILL BE DAWN TO DUSK AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO COME INTO THE PARK FROM OFF PROPERTY PARK IN THE PARKING AREA.

THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENT AREAS WHERE THE TRAILS CONNECT TO OTHER OFF PROPERTY TRAILS BASED ON THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS DEVELOPMENT PLAN. SO WE'LL HAVE SOME CONNECTIVITY TO THE RESIDENTIAL AND SOME COMMERCIAL AREAS THAT ARE GONNA BE OFF PROPERTY OF OURS.

OUR SITE WE HAVE SOME PARKING AREAS THERE IS PARKING SPACES THERE AND A FEW PARKING SPACES FOR KAYAKS WITH TRAILERS. THIS IS ONE OF THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK ITEMS WE RECEIVED.

APPARENTLY THERE IS A CONTINGENCY IN HAMPTON LAKES AREA THAT LIKE TO GO KAYAKING AND THEY'RE VERY, VERY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO COME HERE. THEY DID REQUEST A COUPLE SPACES FOR HAVING KAYAK TRAILERS BECAUSE THEY DON'T PUT THEIR KAYAKS ON TOP OF A VEHICLE ANYMORE THAN TRAILER. SO WE MADE THAT LITTLE TWEAKS TO THE PARKING AREA WHERE YOU CAN COME DOWN THE MULTI-PURPOSE TRAIL DOWN TO APPEAR AND DOCK AND ACCESS THE WATER AND THAT IS THE CLOSEST PLACE WITH THE LEAST AND MINIMAL DISTURBANCE TO THE SALT MARSH WHERE WE COULD GET ACCESS. PEOPLE ACCESS TO THE DEEPER PART OF THE CREEK RIGHT THERE AND THE MULTI-PURPOSE TRAIL TRAVERSES THROUGH THE WE ARE IN DAM STRUCTURES THAT SEPARATE THE SOUTH POND FROM THE CREEK CROSSES A SMALL TIDAL AREA, A SMALL TIDAL WETLAND THAT BREAKS THE PROPERTY IN HALF FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH END AND THEN CONNECTS YOU TO A PICNIC PAVILION IN THIS PAVILION IS PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE SIMILAR TO THE SIZE FORT FREMONT WHERE WE CAN HAVE IT MAYBE SIX TO EIGHT PICNIC TABLES UNDERNEATH.

>> SO IT'LL BE A RELATIVELY LARGE GATHERING SPOT FOR SOCIAL SOCIAL EVENTS AND FAMILY FAMILY GATHERINGS AND PICNICS, BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND WHATNOT AND THEN THE TRAIL CONTINUES ON TO THE NORTH. AND IT MAKES JUST THIS LITTLE LOOP DE LOOP.

SO IF YOU'RE IN A BIKE YOU CAN WRITE UP TURNAROUND EASILY AND GO BACK DOWN TO THE NORTH STORMWATER UPON ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A HARDENED SURFACE TRAIL LIKE THE MULTI SURF LIKE THE MULTI-PURPOSE TRAIL. IT IS A STABILIZED SURFACE WHICH IS WHY IT'S A DIFFERENT COLOR. SO THE TOP OF THAT BANK IS GOING TO BE A STABILIZED SURFACE SO VISITORS WILL BE ABLE TO IF YOU HAVE THE APPROPRIATE BIKE OR WALK AROUND THE POND AND THE POND DOES HAVE A NICE LITTLE ISLAND IN IT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD SEE SIMILAR TO THE CYPRESS PORT ROYAL CYPRESS WETLANDS WHERE HOPEFULLY MAYBE SOME EGRETS OR PARENTS WILL START NESTING AND SO THERE'LL BE A NICE LITTLE WILDLIFE VIEWING THERE THE MULTI-PURPOSE TRAIL AND THE PARKING AREA.

>> EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING IS GOING TO BE AS PERVIOUS AS POSSIBLE.

THE ONLY PART THAT I KNOW IS GOING TO BE IMPERVIOUS IS THE SMALL RESTROOM AND THE ENTRANCE AND THE PICNIC PAVILION ITSELF BECAUSE IT'S THEY HAVE ROOFS. OTHERWISE THE MULTI-PURPOSE TRAIL, THE PARKING AREA, THE PARKING DRIVE WILL HAVE EITHER PERVIOUS CONCRETE OR A PAVED GRASS SYSTEM OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. ANYONE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT I HAD ONE QUESTION ALSO ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE TRIAL I BELIEVE DAN SAID IT WAS A MILE

[00:35:02]

AND A HALF LIKE DOWN DOWN. >> ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS JUST FOR INFORMATION. YES. OK.

ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS ARE COMING INCLUDING THE GOODNESS THE STORM UPON THE

NORTH AND TO THE NORTH THAT INCLUDES I GUESS THAT'S YEP. >> YOU CAN SEE THE STORM WATER POND AS THEY ARE ON THE NORTH SIDE AND THE RED DASHED LINE. THAT'S OUR PROPERTY LINE.

SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE POND IS. SOME OF IT'S ON OURS AND THEN SOME OF THAT RAIN THE WHAT IS A MILE AND A HALF INCLUSIVE OF ALL THAT.

OH NO IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT. >> SO THAT'S PROBABLY ANOTHER LIKE QUARTER MILE AROUND THE

POND. >> VERY NICE. MILEAGE SIGN UP.

WE CAN'T. WE CAN'T. YEAH, IT'S NOT WILL BE EASY ACCESSIBLE. ALL OR JUST THAT EVERY SO THE ENTIRE MULTIPLE TRAIL THE TRAIL AROUND THE POND MAY OR MAY NOT BE DEPENDING ON HOW IT'S CONSTRUCTED.

>> IT HAS ITS OWN SEPARATE PERMITTING AND DESIGNING LIKE OUR STORMWATER FOLKS HAVE HAVE BEEN LIVING. TO HAVE AN IDEA. YEAH.

YEAH. OK THANK YOU. VERY NICE.

>> ANYTHING ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? THANK YOU.

[16. CONTRACT APPROVAL WITH WITMER JONES KEEFER (WJK) IN THE AMOUNT OF $149,350 FOR PHASE II PLANNING SERVICES FOR OKATIE RIVER PARK]

OK. >> AND NOW THE NEXT ONE IS CONTRACT APPROVAL IN THE MOUNT OF FORTY NINE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS FOR A PLACE TO GET PARK.

>> SO AS PER THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WE WE WERE WORKING WITH MR. GRAVES IS AN ENGINEERING TEAM IN ORDER TO HAVE CONTINUITY BETWEEN OUR PARK PLAN AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT PLAN SO EVERYTHING WOULD LINE UP AND MESH WELL WHEN THE FINAL PLANS COME OUT.

TO THAT END WE HIRED DAN KEEFER TO DO A WITMER KIEFER WITMER JONES KIEFER TO DO THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN. SO THEY HAVE PROVIDED A PROPOSAL TO DO THE PHASE 2 PART OF PLANNING SERVICES TAX WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE CIVIL AND ARCHITECT DRAWINGS AND THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND ALL THE SPECS AND THE SCOPE AND TO HELP US WITH CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF. WE ALSO ARE GONNA HAVE OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS MANAGER ANDREW ATHERTON ASSIST WITH THE OVERSIGHT OF THE PROJECT TO MAKE SURE THE PROJECT IS BEING BUILT ACCORDING TO OUR PLANS SO THAT CONTRACT IS FOR THAT ONE HUNDRED FORTY NINE THOUSAND THREE FIFTY DOLLARS TO DO ALL OF THE CONTINUING PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT AND THAT INCLUDES THE FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR DONATION OR IS THAT PAUL CHECHESSEE THE FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR DONATION FROM MR. GRAVES WILL BE USED TOWARDS THIS

CONTRACT. >> WE'VE ALREADY USED SOME OF IT FOR THE CONCEPTUAL PLANNING BUT THAT IN ITS ENTIRETY WILL BE USED TOWARDS THE PLANNING SERVICES AND SO

WE'RE ROUGHLY SPENDING ABOUT NINE GRAND. >> ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MAKE A MOTION? OK. WE NEED A MOTION FOR APPROVAL TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS AND IT HAS TO GO TO FULL COUNCIL. MAN DOLLAR AMOUNT? I DON'T THINK SO. FORTY NINE THOUSAND NINE. WHAT'S THE CUTOFF TO GO TO

COUNCIL? >> I'M THINKING IT WAS HARD. YOU THOUGHT IT WAS 100 200?

>> OH OK. THAT'S ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND. OK.

ALL RIGHT. SO ASKING FOR COUNCIL TO HAVE PURE EMOTION TO GO FORWARD WITH

THIS. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION. >> ALL RIGHT.

CHAIRMAN ASSESSMENT MADE THE MOTION HERE A SECOND SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT.

COUNCILMAN GLOVER, SEC. ALL RIGHT. WITHOUT EXCEPTION, THIS LIST WILL GO FORWARD TO COUNCIL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YEAH.

[17. COASTAL RESILIENCE OVERLAY DISTRICT ORDINANCE (AMENDMENT TO SECTION 3.4.90 OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE) TO REQUIRE REAL ESTATE DISCLOSURE WHEN PROPERTY IS TRANSFERRED IN LOW-LYING AREAS. ]

THANK YOU. OK. NEXT NUMBER 17 THE COASTAL ROAD RESILIENCE OVERLAY DISTRICT ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO SECTION THREE POINT FOUR POINT NINE OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE . SO REQUIRE A REAL ESTATE DISCLOSURE WHEN PROPERTY IS TRANSFERRED IN LOW LYING AREAS IN MR..

IF YOU'RE GOING TO PRISON, RIGHT? YES.

OK, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. >> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO PRESENT THIS ITEM IN THE NEXT ITEM THE COASTAL RESILIENCE OVERLAY IN THE FILL ORDINANCE ARE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS THEY ORIGINATED IN THE LADY'S ISLAND PLAN SO IT'S BEEN ABOUT TWO YEARS. SO THAT WAS A PLAN SIMPLY FOR LADY'S ISLAND BUT THEY MADE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ONE STAFF START TO LOOK AT WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE TO IMPLEMENT THAN WE REALIZE THAT THESE HAD COUNTY IMPLICATIONS.

AND SO AND ALSO THAT THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE NEEDED SOME PRETTY SPECIFIC STUDY TO MAKE SURE WE WERE DOING THEM THE RIGHT WAY. SO WE PUT TOGETHER A SEA LEVEL RISE TASK FORCE MADE UP OF PLANNERS BOTH COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL EXPERTS IN THE FIELD

[00:40:07]

OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ENGINEERS PEOPLE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY. AND WE ALSO HAD ASSISTANCE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA SEA GRANT CONSORTIUM AND LOOKED AT THE IMPLICATIONS OF SEA LEVEL RISE AND BEFORE COUNTY AND HOW TO

ADDRESS THESE TWO ITEMS AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION. >> WE PUT TOGETHER TWO DRAFT ORDINANCES. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE A MEMBER BUT DECEMBER NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE WE CAME FORWARD AS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM AND THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR THE COASTAL RESILIENCE OVERLAY THAT GOT THE ATTENTION OF THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY AND AT THAT TIME WE REALIZED THAT WE HAD NOT THOROUGHLY SPOKE WITH THE REALTORS.

AND SO WE MET WITH HIM THREE SEPARATE TIMES. WE MET WITH THEM AT THEIR JANUARY ANNUAL MEETINGS. THEY HAVE A JOINT MEETING THEN IN MARCH AND THEN IN MAY AND THEY REALLY BROUGHT UP A LOT OF GOOD POINTS AS YOU CAN IMAGINE SINCE THIS PARTICULAR WARD AND STEEL SPECIFICALLY WITH DISCLOSURE WHEN WHEN PROPERTY IS TRANSFERRED THERE WERE VERY INTERESTED AND I WOULD SAY ALSO I'VE BEATEN IT, YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA BE A

CHALLENGE TO THEM. >> SO THERE WAS A LOT OF OPPOSITION EARLY ON.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE DID ANYONE IS ENDORSING IT BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE'VE ADDRESSED THEIR CONCERNS FOR THE MOST PART. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID IS AT THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE APPLIES TO A VERY SPECIFIC AREA THAT WE CAN DO WITH THE MAP.

I HAD A TWO MAPS THIS ONE. YEAH THAT ONE. SO WE.

THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE SUPPLIES TO THE NEW FEMA FLOOD MAPS AN AREA KNOWN AS ZONE X SHADED. I CAN'T THINK OF ANY OTHER BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT.

THAT'S HOW THEY DESCRIBE IT ON THE MAPS AND IT IS THE BASICALLY THE 500 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN. SO ON THIS MAP THIS IS THE GREATER BEAUFORT AREA WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW ORANGE IS ZONE X THAT'S YOU KNOW THERE ARE FLOOD RISKS THAT IT'S IT'S OUTSIDE THE 100 AND 500 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN THE PINK AREA IS WITH SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA.

THOSE ARE THE AREAS WHERE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE REQUIRED TO BY FEMA FLOOD INSURANCE STRUCTURES HAVE TO MEET BASE FLOOD ELEVATION PLUS FREE BOARD WHEN THEY'RE BUILT IN THE AREA IN BETWEEN. THAT'S THE GRAY. THIS MAP IS SO NECK SHADED AND THIS REPRESENTS A PARTICULAR AREA THAT WE THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE NOTIFICATION TO PROPERTY OWNERS BECAUSE THE PERCEPTION MAY BE THAT SINCE THEY ARE NOT IN THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA THAT THEY MAY YOU YOU KNOW, THERE THEY'RE CLEAR AND THERE ARE NO RISKS BUT THERE ARE STILL RISKS OUTSIDE OF THAT AREA AND SEA LEVEL RISE IT MAY BE DURING THE LIFETIME OF THE INVESTMENTS THAT THEY'RE MAKING IN THE PROPERTY THAT THOSE RISKS ARE GETTING INCREASE IN THE FUTURE. AND SO WE FELT IT STAFF THAT THIS WAS AN AREA TO TARGET THAT ZONE SHADED BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE I WOULD SAY IF SEA LEVEL WAS RISING THEY'RE

NEXT IN LINE FOR WHERE WE'RE FUTURE FEMA FLOOD PLAIN MAY BE. >> JUST TO CLARIFY THE GRAY

AREAS ON THIS MAP IS THAT AM I LOOKING AT THERE? >> YES.

OKAY. YEAH. AND THEN I REALIZE IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO READ BECAUSE THE WAY THE FLOOD MAPS THE FLOOD PLAIN OR THE THE SPECIAL FLOOD

HAS TODAY YOU'RE PINK APPLIES ALSO TO THE MARSH BIT. >> IF YOU LOOK AT THE POINT NEIGHBORHOOD IN BEAUFORT YOU COULD SEE THAT THERE ARE PROPERTIES THERE DEFINITELY WITHIN THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA BUT THEN THERE ARE A LOT OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE IN THAT

GRAY AREA AND THAT'S THE LOW LYING NEIGHBORHOODS. >> YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT MANY OF US ARE FAMILIAR WITH. I ALSO THE MAP OF BLUNT AREA YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND THIS IS A LITTLE BIT HARD TO READ BUT THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON ITSELF, THE OLD TOWN HENCE ITS NAME BLUFF I MEAN IT IT IS PRETTY MUCH IN THE CLEAR THAT AS YOU GO SOUTH

THERE TOWARD THE ALL JOY BRIGHTON BEACH AREA. >> YEAH THAT'S PROBABLY GOOD ENOUGH. IT IS BAD. YOU KNOW YOU GET INTO THE PINK AREAS THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAS AREA AND THERE ARE SOME OF THE GRAY AREAS OR A LITTLE BIT

HARDER TO READ ON THIS MAP. >> BUT I GUESS THE POINT IS WHERE WE'RE TARGETING A VERY SPECIFIC AREA AND I WANTED TO ADDRESS SOME CONCERNS THAT WE HAD HEARD IN TALKING TO THE REALTORS AND I KNOW THAT THAT WAS PART OF THAT PUBLIC COMMENT .

BUT THE FIRST THING IS THAT THERE IS PRETTY GOOD NOTIFICATION FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE

[00:45:05]

IN THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA WHEN YOU BUY PROPERTY AND YOU HAVE TO BUY FEMA FLOOD INSURANCE THAT IS FAIRLY THOROUGH THAT NOTIFICATION DURING THE PURCHASE PROCESS AND

OR YOU KNOW, DURING THE REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TRANSACTION. >> BUT OTHER THAN THAT THERE IS NOT THERE IS A FORM THAT REQUIRES DISCLOSURE AND THERE SIMPLY ONE BOX TO CHECK, YOU KNOW, WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE IN A FLOOD HAZARD AREA WILL ALL OF BE FOUR COUNTIES IN THE FLOOD HAZARD AREA. SO THAT'S NOT VERY SPECIFIC. THERE'S ALSO DISCLOSURE FOR PAST FLOODING OF PROPERTIES. BUT WHAT THIS DOES IS THIS POINTS TO AN AREA WHERE THERE IS LIKELY FUTURE RISK. SO WE YOU KNOW, WE FEEL THAT THIS IS COMPLEMENTING THE NOTIFICATION THAT IS ALREADY OCCURRING DURING REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUT ALSO FROM

SPEAKING TO FLOODPLAIN MANAGERS . >> WE ALSO SPOKE WITH THE STATE FLOODPLAIN MANAGER. THEY VALUE REDUNDANCY, YOU KNOW, IS AS SOMEONE SAID DURING A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. THE POINT IS GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT FLOOD RISKS.

AND SO IF THERE IS REDUNDANCY WE FEEL THAT THIS IS GOOD REDUNDANCY AND IT ALSO

HIGHLIGHTS A VERY SPECIFIC AREA OF THIS SPECIFIC RISK. >> THAT'S BASICALLY YOU KNOW, THE OTHER ISSUE THAT CAME UP WE ACTUALLY CORRECTED WHEN THIS WENT TO PLANNING COMMISSION.

>> THIS IS NOT THE WORDING DOES NOT SAY A CLOSING BUT IT SAYS DURING THE TRANSACTION BECAUSE WE REALIZE THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF INFORMATION YOU WANT APPEARING AS YOU KNOW WHEN SOMEBODY'S SIGNING THE FINAL PAPERS, WHEN PROPERTY IS TRANSFERRED AND BECOME A REASON FOR SOMEBODY TO BACK OUT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED WHEN SOMEBODY ENTERS INTO A CONTRACT AND BASICALLY WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS IT WOULD BASICALLY WE WOULD REQUIRE THAT

NOTIFICATION TO OCCUR DURING THE TRANSACTION OF PROPERTY. >> AND I'M TRYING TO SEE IF I'VE COVERED EVERYTHING HERE BEFORE WE GO TO QUESTIONS BUT I'LL ANSWER EVERYTHING ELSE,

YOU KNOW WHEN WE GET TO DISCUSSION OF QUESTIONS. >> OK.

>> LET'S OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

>> ON THE GO AHEAD TO GO ON THERE SAYING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GRAY AND THE PINK CURRENTLY IS ONE CURRENTLY PINK AND I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER THE PINK THE OK.

>> THE PINK IS THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA RIGHT IS THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN WHERE CURRENTLY IF YOU LIVE IN THAT AREA YOU'RE REQUIRED TO GET FEMA FLOOD INSURANCE RIGHT AND BUILT TO HELP NEW HOUSES HAD TO BE BUILT TO BASE FLOOD ELEVATION PLUS FREE BOARD.

AND THE GRAY AREA IS AN AREA THAT IS ON THE MAP. AND IT IS LISTED AS HAVING A BETWEEN A ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE HUNDRED EACH YEAR FLOOD RISK THAT THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL

REQUIREMENTS. >> HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE IN IT I'M SORRY I SHOULD'VE MENTIONED THIS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING OR WE'RE PROVIDING THAT STATEMENT IS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT IN THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAS YOUR AREA DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN'T BUY FLOOD INSURANCE. YOU CAN GET IT AT A MUCH LOWER RATE THROUGH PRIVATE INSURANCE RATHER THAN THROUGH FEMA. AND SO THAT PART OF IT IS JUST

MAKING PEOPLE AWARE OF THAT. >> AND I KIND OF USE MY OWN ANECDOTE IS WHEN I BOUGHT MY HOUSE THIS IS A WHILE BACK I WAS SPEAKING TO GETTING THE HOMEOWNER'S POLICY PUT TOGETHER

AND WORKING IN THE PLANNING OFFICE. >> THERE WAS A MAP RIGHT OUTSIDE MY OFFICE DOOR THAT SHOWED EARTHQUAKE RISK IN COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA AND APPARENTLY YOU KNOW, HISTORICALLY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN HIT WITH EARTHQUAKES BEFORE AND THEY'RE ASKING ABOUT AN EARTHQUAKE TOO. DID I WANT AN EARTHQUAKE? RYDER YOU KNOW IT'S FOR THE POLICY AND THAT MAP, YOU KNOW, CONVEYED THAT INFORMATION TO ME AND I SAID YES, IT WASN'T THAT MUCH MORE. BUT I THINK IT'S JUST YOU KNOW, ANY BIT WHERE WE CAN PROVIDE HELP IN INFORMING PROPERTY OWNERS, YOU KNOW, THAT IS WORTH THE EXTRA DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS COVERAGE THAT WE THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS FOR

THE BETTER GOOD, SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING AS A COUNTY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I DON'T SEE ANYONE ONLINE RAISING THEIR HAND. I HAD A QUESTION THAT WAS BROUGHT UP BY COMMENTS BY THE REAL ESTATE. WHAT IF YOU DO AN OWNER TO OWNER SELLING THEIR OWN PROPERTY? HOW WOULD HOW WOULD THE DISCLOSURE BE HANDLED? SO YOU'RE NOT GOING THROUGH A REAL ESTATE AGENT? YEAH. AND THAT YOU KNOW, THAT MAY BE A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT WITH ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE WILL THEN WORK ON WORKING WITH THE BOARDS OF REALTORS TO

[00:50:07]

MAKE SURE WE GET THE WORD OUT AND WE GET THE PROPER NOTIFICATION STATEMENTS WHEN PROPERTY IS TRANSFERRED. YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY PEOPLE WILL HAVE A LAWYER.

SO WE COULD ALSO SPEAK TO REAL ESTATE, SPECIALIZE IN REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT A IT'S NOT IT'S NOT FOOLPROOF AND IT

CAN HAPPEN. >> OK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> ALL RIGHT. SO DO YOU WANT TO TALK? WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT.

WE NEED A MOTION TO GO FORWARD TO PASS THIS ON TO FULL COUNCIL .

>> THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION WHETHER TO FORWARD THIS OR NOT LIKE WE'RE ALL A LITTLE PUNCHY OR KELSO SOMERVILLE MAKES A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND .

>> I'LL MAKE THE SECOND. ALL RIGHT. >> JEREMY PAXMAN.

ALL RIGHT. ANY EXCEPTION TO SEND FORWARD TO FULL COUNCIL? I THINK A LOT OF WORK WAS DONE ON THIS. I'D JUST LIKE TO COMMENT ON THAT BETWEEN DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT HAD A REAL INTEREST IN IT. IS IT PERFECT? I DON'T KNOW. IT'S GETTING THERE. IT'S PRETTY CLOSE SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO READ IT AND THINK ABOUT IT CAREFULLY. THAT'S ON COUNTY COUNCIL BEFORE

WE TAKE THE NEXT STEP. ALL RIGHT. >> SO THIS IS WHY I CAN COMMENT ON YOU. WOULD YOU JUST SAY THE MEDIA WOULD NOT DO YOU.

OH, WAIT, OK. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ONE IS A MANTRA.

>> I HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THAT, PLEASE. >> YES, CERTAINLY.

SORRY. DID YOU HAVE ANY ANY COMMENTS FROM HER SON OR DO YOU JUST READY TO VOTE? NO COMMENTS. I'M JUST READY TO VOTE AND

INTEND VOTE NOW. >> OKAY. THE MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN SOMMERVILLE. HOW DO YOU VOTE YES IN COUNCILMAN GLOVER.

WE'RE DOING A ROLL CALL. >> OH, YES. ALL RIGHT.

>> COUNCILMAN DAWSON. YES. COUNCILMAN CUNNINGHAM.

YES. IT'S BEEN HARBHAJAN NOW. ALL RIGHT.

>> CHAIRMAN TIMBER INVESTMENT. YES. THERE'S COUNTS AS COUNCILMAN LAWSON. LAWSON STILL ON. MARK IS HE GONE? OKAY. SO THAT LEAVES ME AS CHAIRMAN AND I'M ALSO OH I'M SORRY.

COUNCILMAN DAWSON SORRY BUT HE VOTED YES. YOU VOTED YES.

RODMAN MIGHT BE ON COUNCILMAN RODMAN, ARE YOU? I DON'T SEE HIM EITHER.

OKAY. >> AND THE CHAIRMAN VOTES YES. SO IT WAS A SIX BY ONE OF THIS

[18. FILL ORDINANCE (AMENDMENT TO DIVISION 5.13 OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE) TO LIMIT FILL IN LOW-LYING AREAS]

WILL GO ON TO FULL COUNCIL. >> THE NEXT ITEM IS THE PHIL ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO THE CBC.

YES. TO LIMIT PHIL IN LOW LYING AREAS.

THIS IS ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION OF THE LATEST ISLAND PLAN THAT REQUIRED I SAY A LOT OF STUDY AND SO WE ALSO HAD THAT SAME TASK FORCE LOOK AT THIS PROJECT WHO WAS BROUGHT IN THE SAME

INPUT IN THAT PROCESS? >> WE DID HAVE A LOT OF GOOD INPUT FROM HOME BUILDERS FROM ONE PARTICULAR SURVEYOR WHO I THINK HAS SEEN EVERY BIZARRE CONFIGURATION, YOU KNOW THAT THAT THEY DEAL WITH IN DAY TO DAY DEVELOPMENTS AND B FOR COUNTY.

>> SO WE'RE ABLE TO REALLY KIND OF LOOK AT THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS.

THE INTENT OF THIS IS TO LIMIT PHIL IN LOW LYING AREAS AND BECAUSE INITIATE ON LADIES ISLANDS THE PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT THAT I THINK TRIGGERED THIS WAS THE WAL-MART THAT THAT'S OVER YOU KNOW, LOCATIONS JUST EAST OF THE AIRPORT THAT WAS THAT SITE WAS ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL AND REQUIRED QUITE A BIT OF FILL IN ORDER TO BRING IT TO BASE FLOOD ELEVATION. I'VE HEARD THE ESTIMATE ABOUT 25000 TRUCKLOADS THAT REALLY YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF THAT WAS TO REALLY ALTER THE LANDSCAPE AND THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE GOOD STANDARDS FOR STORMWATER AND PREVENTING

FLOODING OF NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES. >> BUT SOMETHING OF THIS SCALE MAY HAVE IMPLICATIONS BEYOND WHAT WE CAN ANTICIPATE JUST WITH LOOKING AT THE STORMWATER AND RUNOFF AND ALSO THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ALTERING OUR FLOODPLAIN TO THAT DEGREE. SO THE REQUEST WAS MADE TO LOOK AT THIS IN AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD LIMIT PHIL. THIS IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT IS DONE QUITE FREQUENTLY IN FLOODPLAIN ORDINANCES. IT IS NOT IN OURS CURRENTLY IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA THAT THIS

[00:55:03]

APPLIES TO. WE DO REQUIRE IT IN THE THE CITY MUST BE SO FOR AREAS LIKE ALONG THE BEACH THERE'S LIMITATIONS OF FILL BUT NOT IN THE THEME OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA AND THAT'S WHERE THIS WOULD APPLY. WHAT IT WOULD DO IS LIMIT PHIL FOR TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE FEET FOR PROPERTIES DEVELOPING IN THESE LOW LYING AREAS.

>> WE DID LOOK AT EXCEPTIONS. >> ONE IS A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON EXISTING LOTS OF RECORDS. SO WE DID NOT WANT THIS TO ADVERSELY IMPACT SOMEBODY WHO'S SIMPLY WANTING TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE ON A LOT TO THIS ALREADY SUBDIVIDED.

IT WOULD BE EXEMPT FOR AGRICULTURE AND PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AND THEN ALSO FOR PUBLIC ROADS AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE THERE MAY BE NECESSITY TO BRING IN PHIL FOR THOSE PROJECTS. SO WE WOULD LIMIT IT TO THREE FEET.

>> AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, IF A LOT WAS 20 ACRES OR MORE WITH IT WOULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF PHIL BROUGHT INTO PROPERTY TO NOT TO EXCEED 33 PERCENT OF THE AREA.

>> WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS REALLY LIMIT THE LARGE SCALE OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OR DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE SCALE BUILDINGS ON PROPERTIES THAT MOST LIKELY SHOULDN'T BE DEVELOPED AT THAT INTENSITY. IT DOESN'T LIMIT DEVELOPMENT ENTIRELY.

IT JUST MEANS THAT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER WAY TO BRING THE BUILDING OUT OF BASE UP TO BASE FLOOD ELEVATION PLUS FREE BOARD.

SO SMALLER SCALE BUILDINGS COULD BE LOCATED ON PILINGS OR A FOUNDATION YOU KNOW WITHOUT HAVING THE NEED TO LIMIT TO BRING IN FILL THE PROPERTY. THE WAY THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN WE BELIEVE THAT THIS REALLY TARGETS THE TYPE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO LIMIT THINGS THAT ARE LARGE, YOU KNOW, WITH A LARGE BUILDING FOOTPRINT LIKE THE WAL-MART THAT CAME IN. WE REALLY WANTED TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF I WOULD SAY UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES FOR YOU KNOW, PEOPLE JUST TRYING TO BUILD A HOUSE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE IN OUR OFFICE OF AUDIENCES WITH GOOD INTENTIONS GETTING IN THE WAY OF PEOPLE JUST TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, DEVELOP THEIR PROPERTY.

AND WE REALLY FELT THAT THE MAJOR INTENT OF THIS WAS THE LARGER SCALE BUILDINGS.

>> IT WOULD APPLY TO NEW SUBDIVISIONS. SO IF WE HAD A SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION IN A LOW LYING AREA, IT WOULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF FILL THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING ON THAT PROPERTY, WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT PHIL, NOT ONLY YOU'RE ALTERING THE LANDSCAPE, YOU ALSO MEANS THE LOSS OF TREES BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T SAVE TREASONABLE A LOT WHEN YOU'RE BASICALLY

BURYING THE ROOTS OF IT ALSO. >> WHEN WE LOOK AT THE IMPACTS OF SEA LEVEL RISE, ONE OF THE CONCERNS ARE AREAS OF MARSH MIGRATION. SO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU BRING UP A PROPERTY AND IF THE MARSH YOU KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO MIGRATE ON TO HIGHER GROUND, IT WOULD DO THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, RAISING THE AREA OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD BOTH ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC SAFETY REASONS THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS. AND SO ANY QUESTIONS OF YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION, OPEN IT UP

TO OTHERS FIRST. >> YOU WOULDN'T HAVE QUESTIONS ANYONE ON CALL?

>> YEAH, I I LIKE THIS BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HOW MANY CALLS I'VE GOTTEN FROM MY CONSTITUENTS WHERE SOMEBODY BUILDS A HOUSE NEXT DOOR TO THEM IT ELEVATES IT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY HAVE LAKE. SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE THREE FEET IS ENOUGH BUT ANYWAY I CERTAINLY SUPPORT THIS COUNCILMAN CUNNINGHAM. YEAH, I ACTUALLY I'M NOT A FAN OF THIS VULGAR FACTOR. WAL-MART PROVIDED A TON OF JOBS FOR YOU FOR COUNTY MORE THAN JUST INSIDE THAT BUILDING. I THINK OTHER PROJECTS LIKE THAT COULD RUN INTO THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN WE START PUTTING THESE LIMITATIONS ON THREE FEET FOR HOUSES IS ALSO NOT THREE FEET LIFT A HOUSE LIMITATION IS NOT THAT MUCH ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE WAY BLUFFTON IS GROWING CURRENTLY. I THINK THIS PUTS A LOT OF LIMITATIONS AND THEN WE'RE VERY PUT A LOT OF LIMITATIONS ON OUR BUILDERS RECENTLY WITH IMPACT FEES ALONG THOSE LINES SCHOOL IMPACT FEES. I'M GOING TO OPPOSE IT. I DO THINK THAT'S GETTING INTO THINGS THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE MEDDLING IN OURSELVES. SO I AM GOING TO OPPOSE THAT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT. OK. THANK YOU FOR COMING.

I HAD A QUESTION. NO, IT DOESN'T ONLY NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH APPLY LIKE A SUBDIVISION BUT SINGLE SAY A LOT THAT I CAN SPLIT INTO TWO LOTS I COULD TAKE IT BACK. IT WOULD NOT APPLY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

ON EXISTING LOTS A RECORD ARE EXEMPT. >> OKAY.

[01:00:05]

ALL RIGHT. TELEPORT ROYAL HAVE A PASSES. >> NO ACTUALLY THEY'RE FOLLOWING VERY CLOSELY WHAT WE DO. IS IT WORD IN? YEAH THEY GOT TO I BELIEVE FIRST READING. OK.

AND AT THAT POINT THAT WAS THE OLD VERSION BEFORE WE REALLY SAT DOWN AND LOOKED AT SOME OF THE THE ISSUES THAT WE WERE IN SYDNEY READ FOR THE CITY OF BEAUFORT ADOPTED.

>> THIS IS PART OF THEIR NEW FLOOD ORDINANCE THEY ADOPTED IN MARCH AND SO THERE ARE LIMITATIONS ON PHIL. ARE THERE FLOOD? IS IT SIMILAR TO.

YEAH, YOU KNOW THERE'S. DOESN'T HAVE. WELL I'LL HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK I BELIEVE THAT THEIRS DOESN'T SPECIFY THE THREE FEET AND IT DOES LEAVE SOME EXCEPTION FOR YOU KNOW, THE DIRECTOR AND YOU KNOW IF IF THE DEVELOPER CAN MAKE A CASE YOU KNOW WITHIN AN

ENGINEER THAT THIS WOULD NOT HAVE ANY ADVERSE IMPACTS. >> YOU KNOW THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS EXCEPTION PROVIDE AND JUST JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW THE WAL-MART LADY'S ISLAND IS ACTUALLY IN THE CITY OF BEFORE. OK, SO I WE WILL HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE BUT WE NEED EMOTION

FROM SOMEONE TO TAKE THIS FORWARD OR NOT. >> COUNCILMAN SOMERVILLE MADE A MOTION TO MOVE IT FORWARD. COUNCILMAN GLOVER IS THE SECOND.

OKAY, COUNCILMAN, SOME ARE REAL. DO YOU VOTE? YES. OR NO? YES.

COUNCILMAN GLOVER'S COUNCILMAN CUNNINGHAM. NO.

OKAY. COUNCILMAN HARBHAJAN? YES.

ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL CHAIRMAN. PESSIMIST.

YES. AND COUNCILMAN DAWSON. YES.

AND THE CHAIR FOLKS. YES. SO THIS WILL GO FORWARD ON THE VOTE OF 6 1. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

[19. TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE (CDC): SECTION 5.5.30.B.1 (GENERAL PARKING STANDARDS, OFF-SITE/PREMISES PARKING) TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY]

TEC TAX AMENDMENT REGARDING PARKING STANDARDS OFFSITE PREMISE PARKING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY. NUMBER 19 I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TAG TEAM THIS IS FOR THAT.

OK. ALSO THIS IS RELATED TO THE IN OUR THE AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE WITH THE MYRTLE PARK PROPERTY THAT'S BEING BUILT RIGHT BEHIND OUR OFFICE COMPLEX THERE.

IF YOU RECALL SOME TIMES AGO WE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH SOMEONE TO DEVELOP THAT PROPERTY WE HAD AUTHORIZED THE PREVIOUS COUNTY ADMINISTER AUTHORIZED THE FOLKS TO USE 70 SPACES ON THE COUNTY PROPERTY WHERE THE COUNTY OWNER MERLE PARK WAS NON EXCLUSIVELY MEANING THEY'RE AVAILABLE ON THEY NEED PARK AND PEOPLE CAN PARK IN THERE BUT THAT DIDN'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO COUNT THOSE PARKING SPACES ON OUR PROPERTY FOR THAT ADJACENT USE BECAUSE THE CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE SAYS THE CURRENT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COULD ORDINANCE SAYS THAT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET RELIEF ON HAVING A SHARED PARK AN AGREEMENT THERE HAS TO BE AN EASEMENT GRANTING

EXCLUSIVE USE OF THOSE PARKING SPACES THAT HAS TO BE RECORDED. >> I'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THAT IN MY CAREER AND A ZONING ORDINANCE USUALLY IT'S JUST AN AGREEMENT THAT IS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND YOU GET THE RIGHT TO USE WHATEVER SPACES ARE AVAILABLE THAT NUMBER ON AN ADJACENT PIECE OF PROPERTY. SO THIS AMENDMENT WOULD DO AWAY WITH THE REQUIREMENT THAT IT HAS TO BE AN EASEMENT AND IT HAS TO BE RECORDED AT COURT

COURTS. >> ALL OF US AND IT GETS AWAY FROM IT BEING AN EXCLUSIVE USE

OF THOSE 70 PARKING SPACES FOR THAT ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER. >> SO SOMEONE ELSE THAT COULD USE THOSE SPACES. YEAH, ANYBODY COULD USE THEM UNDER WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT DON'T REALLY MAKE SENSE TO HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT AND A ZONING CODE CAUSE VERY SELDOM ARE YOU GOING TO FIND SOME MIGHT JUST SAY HEY, I BUILD THESE PARKING SPACES ON MY PROPERTY BUT I'M JUST GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GRANT YOU AND EASEMENT TO USE THEM FOR EVER MORE AND I WON'T EVER GET TO USE THEM AGAIN. OUR ACCOUNTANT MY SO NOT MAKING SENSE TO HAVE THAT IS THE CDC. SO WHAT WE'RE OPPOSING IS GOING BACK TO THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS IN THE ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ORDINANCE HERE IN BEAUFORT COUNTY PRIOR TO THE

ADOPTION OF THE CDC IN 2014. >> ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS? THIS IS AN ART LICENSE DISTRICT . ALL RIGHT. MERLE PARK IS BUT THIS IS

COUNTY WIDE. >> IT WOULD APPLY TO ANY ANY SHARE PARKING AGREEMENT ACROSS THE COUNTY. SO THIS WOULD ADDRESS THE PROBLEM WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IT WOULDN'T IT? YEAH.

OK. IT WAS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. WELL, ENTERTAIN A MOTION TODAY TO MAKE THIS CHANGE MOVED.

ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMAN CUNNINGHAM AND MOTION FOR THE COUNCIL ARE REAL SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. WITHOUT EXCEPTION OF SOMETHING THAT DARREN PUBLIC COMMENT

[01:05:02]

COUNCILMAN CUNNINGHAM I'M KIND OF . THIS ISN'T.

HE WANTED TO MAKE COMMENT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT IT NOW OR AT THE VERY END OF THE MEETING. THE PEOPLE WE'RE ADDRESSING AREN'T HERE.

YEAH, I KNOW THEM WATCHING ARE ACTUALLY HERE ANYMORE BUT I'M GOING TO SO I GOT A LOT OF CALLS FROM THE REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION. I'M NOT SURE HOW MY NUMBER GOT OUT BUT IT'S MY PERSONAL NUMBER THAT EVERYONE'S CALLING. I WILL NOT RETURN THOSE CALLS ON MY PERSONAL NUMBER OR PERSONAL EMAIL OR FACEBOOK PAGE.

I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THAT I POST IT ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS ONLINE TO MAKE SURE BUT FOR THOSE YOU THAT DO NEED MY INFORMATION MY COUNTY EMAIL IS POSTED ONLINE.

MY COUNTY PHONE NUMBER YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO CALL. IT'S 8 4 3 9 8 6 4 7 7 2.

I PROMISE I WASN'T IGNORING YOUR CALLS. I JUST WILL NOT USE MY PERSONAL PHONE FOR THAT INFORMATION. SO MY CONTACT INFORMATION IS OUT THERE.

IF NINA GOT AHOLD OF ME. I JUST ASK THAT YOU USE THAT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO GET THIS IN EARLIER TODAY BUT HOPEFULLY PEOPLE ARE WATCHING IT FROM HOME AND WE'LL USE THAT NUMBER TO CONTACT YOU. NUMBER 21 IS THE APPOINTMENT OF THOMAS MURRAY TO RURAL AND CRITICAL FOR THIS A RECOMMENDATION? OH, DID WE SKIPPED LUNCH?

[20. ZONING MAP AMENDMENT/REZONING REQUEST FOR 3.09 ACRES OF PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS R100 024 000 0423 0000 LOCATED AT 24 ZEHM LANE, FROM S1 INDUSTRIAL TO C3 NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE DISTRICT]

OH YEAH. I'M SO SORRY. NO.

TWENTY TWENTY. YEAH. OH I APOLOGIZE.

THREE POINT ZERO NINE ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED. HOW DO YOU SAY THAT? ZOOM. ZOOM. I'VE BEEN PRONOUNCING IT IN SAM LANE ZAM LANE 24 ZOOM LANE FROM S1 INDUSTRIAL TO SEE THREE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE DISTRICT. OK. OK.

>> AS YOU SAID THIS IS A REZONING OF ABOUT A THREE ACRE PARCEL LOCATED BASICALLY AT THE INTERSECTION OF LAUREL BAY ROAD AND DAVE HINDS ROAD FROM CURRENT ZONING IS THIS ONE INDUSTRIAL? AND THE PROPOSED ENDING IS C 3 NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE.

>> WE HAVE A REAL QUICK DRONE FOOTAGE OF THE PROPERTY JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU SOME ORIENTATION HERE. THAT COULD BE ANYWHERE IN BEAUFORT COUNTY.

>> IT'S WOODED. >> YOU CAN SEE BEHIND IT I THINK THERE'S A LAY DOWN YARD, THERE'S SOME INDUSTRIAL LAND BEHIND BUT THAT WAS LAND THAT THE COUNTY JUST RECENTLY RESUMED. I THINK LAST FALL TO SEE FOR THERE IS SOMEBODY WHO IS INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING A LOW INCOME HOUSING TO THE TAX CREDIT HOUSING IN THAT AREA.

>> SO THIS IS LOOKING AT GOING ABOUT ALL DAY ROAD. THERE'S A FRONTAGE ROADS TO THIS WOODED AREA IS THE PROPERTY AND I THINK YOU CAN SORT OF SEE BEHIND IT SOME WAY INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY AND THEN GOING EAST THERE'S SOME SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES.

SO REZONING C3 WOULD ALLOW THE BUYER OF THE PROPERTY TO DEVELOP SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES ON THIS PROPERTY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE JUST TO THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY.

>> CURRENTLY S1 INDUSTRIAL DOES NOT ALLOW SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES AND SO WE'VE SEEN THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WHERE SOMEONE WAS ZONED INDUSTRIAL KNOW CERTAINLY HAD TO DEVELOP ITS INDUSTRIAL BUT ALL THEY WERE INTERESTED IN DOING IS YOU KNOW DEVELOPING A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE. AND SO THEY COME IN FOR RESETTING IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IF YOU CAN BRING UP THE MATH I THINK THAT THIS ALSO I THINK HELPS THE MATH MAKE SENSE A LITTLE MORE BECAUSE SIX MONTHS AGO THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES WERE REZONING OH.

>> OH OK. BUT YOU HAVE THE MAP AND PACKETS AND THE MAP AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE EXISTING THIS BECAUSE OF THE REZONING THAT WAS MADE LAST FALL THIS S ONE INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY WAS KIND OF RENDERED ISOLATED AND SO THAT IS THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH OF IT DEVELOPS AS IS MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY NEXT TO IT.

IT MAKES SENSE FOR IT TO GO ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AND HAVE LIGHTER INDUSTRIAL.

SO FOR BOTH OF THOSE REASONS STAFF SUPPORTS A CHANGE. WE DO HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM AS WELL. SHE'S BEEN VERY PATIENT, VERY

PATIENT. >> THE PROPERTY THAT SEE FOR IS ON BY PINES AND LAUREL BAY

INTERSECT. >> IS THAT RIGHT? I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE USUAL SHAPED PROPERTY BUT THAT'S FOR GONNA BE RESIDENTIAL .

>> YEAH. YES. AS FAR AS I'M AWARE THERE'S AN

[01:10:02]

ACTIVE APPLICATION FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS RIGHT NOW IF YOU LOOK AT AN AERIAL VISIT THE SITE IT'S STILL THE ORIGINAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USE.

IT WAS BACK THERE. >> OK. YOU MAY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REZONING IS THIS AND I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THOSE ZONING RIGHT NOW AND WHAT IS THE HOPE OF ZONING TECHNICALLY WOULD BE A DOWN TURNING DEVILS ON THAT? YOU KNOW, IT IS I WOULD SAY CERTAINLY UPSETTING FOR THE PERSON WHO WANTS TO BUILD A

HOUSE. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> THIS ISN'T COUNCILMAN DAWSON'S DISTRICT, MADAM CHAIRMAN. YES, SIR.

GO COUNCILMAN DOES A MOVE FOR APPROVAL. >> I HAVE A SECOND PLACE, SIR.

>> CALLS FROM LOVER. OK. AND THANK YOU FOR THE PATIENCE OF THE OWNERS THE PROPERTY FOR BEING HERE AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION ANY EXCEPTION.

THIS WILL GO FORWARD FOR THE REZONING. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. OK. I'M SORRY I SKIPPED.
