[8. Appearance by Citizens]

YES SIR OUR FIRST CITIZEN IS MISS KELLY LEBLANC. MISS LEBLANC TO STEP UP TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. I AM DR. KELLY LEBLANC.

I'M THE CO-CHAIR OF THE JANESVILLE PRESERVATION SOCIETY ,THE AUTHOR OF THE SURVEY ON OVERDEVELOPMENT WHICH RECEIVED OVER 1700 RESPONSES TO DATE. A KEY QUESTION OF THE SURVEY WAS IN 2014 HILTON HEAD ZONING WAS CHANGED TO ALLOW INCREASED HOUSING DENSITY INCREASED BUILDING HEIGHT, DECREASED DISTANCE BETWEEN HOUSES, DECREASED FROM STREET TO HOUSE

[00:05:04]

ONE REASON FOR THE 2014 ALAMO CHANGES WAS TO HELP GULLAH LANDOWNERS WHO HAVE ODDLY SHAPED PARCELS BY DECREE THE REQUIRED SETBACKS WHICH IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN FROM HOUSE TO NEIGHBORING PROPERTY LINE AND THE DISTANCE FROM STREET TO HOUSE.

ACCORDING TO SEAN COLLIN, THE ASSISTANT TOWN MANAGER THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY ONE DOZEN ODDLY SHAPED GULLAH OWNED PARCELS ON HILTON HEAD THAT DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT SETBACKS.

THE TOWN CAN THESE INDIVIDUAL LANDOWNERS VIA VARIANCES RATHER THAN BASED ZONING.

THE TOWN HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED A FAST TRACK PROGRAM TO HELP THIS TYPE OF OWNER. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A SURVEY TITLED SEARCH AND A LAWYER AND LAWYER FEES WOULD BE INVOLVED THIS WOULD BE GOOD FUN A GOOD USE FUNDS AVAILABLE VIA THE GULLAH HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FUND WHICH IS NEW WHICH HAS I BELIEVE HUNDRED SAID SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS NOT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS BUT MILLIONS. A SECOND REASON GIVEN FOR THE 2014 ALAMO CHANGES WAS TO SPUR THE ECONOMY VIA DEVELOPMENT. THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE HAS BEEN INVESTOR DRIVEN OVERDEVELOPED MINT WHICH HAS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED THE AVAILABILITY OF ESSENTIAL HOUSING TRAFFIC. THE ENVIRONMENT RESIDENT, QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE LOSS OF GULLAH HOMESTEADS. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL CENSUS, THE 2022 ESTIMATED AFRICAN-AMERICAN POPULATION ON HILTON HEAD WAS ONLY 6%. THE ACTUAL NUMBER IS LIKELY THAN THAT BECAUSE OF THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN HOUSING COSTS SINCE COVID.

THE GULLAH GEECHEE CULTURAL PRESERVATION PROJECT REPORT WHICH DATED WAS DATED APRIL 2019, STATED THE MINIMUM OBJECTIVE SHOULD BE TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT GULLAH LAND EARNINGS IN TERMS OF ACREAGE AND EVEN INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF LAND OWNED AS AS AN IDEAL TO STRIVE TOWARDS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF CULTURAL IS TO PRESERVE THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE GULLAH PEOPLE AS OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND. THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL IS PROVIDE THEM WITH ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY. CLOSE QUOTE THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY SHOULD BE OVERDEVELOPMENT WHICH THE MAJORITY OF HILTON HEAD ISLANDS OPPOSE. HILTON HEAD ISLAND RESIDENTS OPPOSE IT SHOULD BE INSTEAD EDUCATION WHICH WILL GENERATIONALLY ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE.

I URGE THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO CREATE AN ESSENTIAL WORKFORCE EDUCATION FUND GIVE RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY GULLAH RESIDENTS GRANTS TO TRAIN AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES SUCH AS NURSING, TEACHING, CARPENTRY AND PLUMBING.

THANK YOU VERY. THANK DR. LEBLANC. IS THERE OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT PLEASE? YES. MR. MARK SIMPSON.

GOOD AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON. I HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF THE TOWN PLANNING COMMISSION A LONG TIME BEEN HERE SINCE 87. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF TRANSCON AND INDUSTRIES AND IT APPEARS BEING TARGETED AND THIS AMENDMENT WHAT EXCLUDING CHANGING THE DEFINITION OF FAMILY IS PREJUDICIAL TO THEIR GIVE IT TO THEM AND THEY WANT TO OBJECT TO IT. I DON'T SEE I DON'T SEE THE COMPREHENSIVE IMPACT STUDY IS THAT INCLUDED SOMEWHERE IN THE MATERIALS THAT WAS REQUESTED LAST WEEK IS THAT INCLUDED THE COMPREHENSIVE IMPACT STUDY THAT STAFF WAS ASKED TO PROVE. EXCUSE ME MY MY BACK IS KILBY STAFF WAS ASKED TO PRODUCE. DO WE KNOW DOES ANYBODY RECALL COMPREHENSIVE IMPACTS OR WAS THE QUESTION ASKED DURING THE MEETING WHAT THE IMPACT OF THIS OF THIS AMENDMENT IS THAT AVAILABLE AVAILABLE? SHOULD THE STAFF HAVE WHAT'S BEING REFERRED TO HERE? THE STAFF WILL BE PRESENTING ON THIS ITEM LATER IN THE MEETING. OKAY.

OKAY. SO WE'LL GET A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT THAT IS.

THANK YOU AND REACT TO THAT I HOPE BECAUSE IF IT'S JUST SAYING THAT NEW NON-CONFORMITY

[00:10:06]

OKAY. WELL THIS THIS SEEMS TARGETED IN ONE NEIGHBORHOOD AND.

I THINK WE CAN SORT OF LAY OUT THE STEPS THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THAT TARGETING AND YOU KNOW IF YOU COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE ALAMO, THE CONCEPT IS WELL WE JUST VERY QUICKLY CHANGE THE TERMS OF THE ALAMO AND THAT'S NOT REALLY THE WAY WE SHOULD BE DOING THINGS I DON'T THINK. BUT WE'LL SEE. OKAY.

WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

NEXT KAREN. YES, SIR. MR. SKIP HOAGLAND SKIP WOMEN HARBOR WHY HASN'T A MASTER LAND PLAN EVER BEEN CREATED PERPETUITY.

SO WE HAVE THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO SAVE OURSELVES FROM OVERDEVELOPMENT, UNTENABLE TRAFFIC AND ONGOING RUNOFF POLLUTION CAUSED BY ENCROACHMENT OF OUR CREEKS, RIVERS AND ESTUARIES. POLLUTED OYSTERS IS THE FIRST BAD SIGN IT TOOK 1 MILLION YEARS TO CREATE. WE DESTROYED THIS IN 30 YEARS. WHY IS ONE ROAD ONE BRIDGE ALL THE WAY DOWN 95 AND EVERYONE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION WHY DID SOUTH CAROLINA D.O.T. WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT THIS ONE ROAD IN THIS MAXIMUM USAGE WITH BLUFFTON AND HARDY VILLE OUT OF CONTROL WITH OVERDEVELOPMENT 200 HERE, 300 HERE AND NO MASTER LAND PLAN HAS ANY THOUGHT BEING GIVEN AS TO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TEN YEARS FROM NOW NOT TO MENTION HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET OFF HILTON HEAD ISLAND A HURRICANE OR THE NEXT TRIP TO THE AIRPORT. HAS ANY THOUGHT BEEN GIVEN ABOUT WRECKS AND TRAFFIC DELAYS OR EMERGENCY VEHICLES TIME AND REACHING OUR HOSPITALS WE'RE ALREADY EXPERIENCED IN THAT OUR FUTURE ROAD REPAIRS AND DELAYS AND THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF 3 MILLION TOURISTS VERSUS 45,000 LOCAL RESIDENTS THAT WE NOW EXPERIENCE. TOURISM IS WELCOME BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF LOCALS. WHAT DOES SOUTH CAROLINA DOT SAY ABOUT THESE SAME 3 MILLION TOURISTS ENTERING HILTON HEAD ON ONE ROAD AND ONE BRIDGE? DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME TO STOP KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD? THE BRIDGE IS NOTHING BUT A STENT YOUR HEART AND WILL DO LITTLE DO NOTHING OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

300 MILLION OF TAX PAYERS MONEY. IT'S A WASTE.

I'M A 47 YEAR RESIDENT. I MOVED HERE FOR CHARLES FRAZIER VISION A LOW KEY HIGH HIGH END RETIREMENT AND RESORT THAT NATURE ENVIRONMENT TOOK IT WAS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

IT'S LIKE THE SONG GOES BY JONI MITCHELL. THEY TOOK ALL THE TREES.

THEY PUT THEM ON A TREE AND THEY CHARGED THE PEOPLE A DOLLAR AND A HALF TO SEE THEM.

DON'T IT ALWAYS SEEM TO GO YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT UNTIL IT'S GONE IT'S OWN.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. IT'S JUST YOUR JUST A LONG LINE OF ELECTED OFFICIALS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE DEVELOPERS, THE TOWN MANAGERS AND OUR CROOKED TOWN LAWYERS IN CONFLICT WITH DEVELOPER CLIENTS AND MANY TIED TO THE TOURISM CHAMBER TOURISM INTERESTS AND THEIR ILLEGAL PROFITS AND THE SECRET GREATER ISLAND COUNCIL MEMBERS SPECIAL SPECIAL INTEREST GREED AND UNFORTUNATELY IT'S TOO LATE TO REPAIR ALL THE DAMAGE DONE.

IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WITH NO MASTER LAND PLAN IN PERPETUITY WE WE ARE.

FOR ME AT #6 IN A #5 BAG AND WE'RE HEADING TO #10 LIKE A SLOW GROWING CANCER IF YOU DON'T STOP IT OR REMOVE IT IT WILL EVENTUALLY KILL YOU. ALSO WE NEED TO DEFUND THE CHAMBER'S MILLIONS AND ATTACKS IT MISSING MILLIONS OF HOSPITALITY TAXES UNACCOUNTED FOR AND ADD THIS TO SENATOR DAVIDSON'S 1% TAX AND LET THE TOURISTS PAY TO BUY LANDS AND IMPROVE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S THAT WE NEED TO STOP GIVING THIS CHAMBER MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TECHNOLOGY. SHE PROVIDES TOURISM FOR FREE.

IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD. SO LET'S LET'S STOP THE INSANITY AND GET THAT 5 MILLION. THIS IS NOT CHARLESTON, MYRTLE BEACH NOR DO WE WANT IT THIS WAY. THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU ALL ARE ALL AFFECTED LIKE ALL OF US SO I ASSUME THAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT IT LIKE ALL OF US AND YOU'LL DO SOMETHING YOUR FAMILIES, YOUR FRIENDS AND YOUR IN YOUR CHILDREN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. SHARON, IS THERE ANOTHER MISS RHONDA CARPER? HI, MY NAME IS RHONDA CARPER. I AM A FULL TIME RESIDENT ON BRADLEY CIRCLE AND.

[00:15:01]

HE OWNS MULTIPLE LOTS ON B.C AND THE CHANGES TO THE ALAMO WOULD RESTRICT HIM FROM BUILDING AN ADDITIONAL FIVE 50,000 PLUS OR MINUS SQUARE FEET OF HOMES IN OUR SMALL COMMUNITY. THAT IS WHY LAWYER IS HERE TODAY NOT HAVING THESE CHANGES ALLOW HIM AND OTHER DEVELOPERS ON HHI TO FIND THOSE LOOPHOLES BUILD HOMES THAT WILL NEVER BE USED AS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME OR LONG TERM RENTAL. WE'VE LOST ALL THAT IN OUR COMMUNITY. NO ONE CAN COME THERE TO LIVE THIS TYPE OF OVERDEVELOPMENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS CAUSE WATER, SEWERAGE, DRAINAGE, PARKING ISSUES AS AS EROSION ON OUR ROADS. ALSO AT THAT MEETING A MEMBER OF OUR OWN COMMUNITY CAME HERE, CARL BRADEN AND SPOKE WHY I'M NOT SURE BECAUSE MR. BRADEN HAS PREVIOUSLY SOLD ALL HIS PROPERTIES TO MR. CHILDRESS AND OWNS NOTHING ON BRADLEY CIRCLE .

HE WANTS HIM TO DEVELOP THIS TO MAKE THE MONEY. MR. BRADEN ALSO WRONGLY REPRESENTED THE VIEWS OF OUR BRADLEY CIRCLE COMMUNITY HERE AND ONLINE STATING THAT WE ARE NOT THEY WERE NOT BASED ON THE TRUTH. WE DO NOT WANT MORE SHORT TERM RENTALS. WE UNDERSTAND THERE WILL BE SOME BUT WE NEED TO CONTROL THE OVERDEVELOPMENT THE DEVELOPER MR. CHEN RESTS WITH OR WITHOUT THE HELP OF MR. BRADEN IS PLANNING NOT PLANNING HELPING THE GULLAH GEECHEE COMMUNITY AS HE STATED OR PROVIDING WORKFORCE THEY CHOOSE TO CARELESSLY TOSS AROUND SENSITIVE TOPICS TO MANIPULATE THE GOOD INTENTIONS OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALONG WITH THE TOWN STAFF.

BUT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS AND MR. CHIN AND MR. BRADEN SPEAK OF NOTHING BUT MONEY AND GREED IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE CLEAR CONCISE WHY THINGS IN THE ALAMO ENGAGE THE LOCALS AND PREVENT THE DEVELOPER FROM DELIVERING OBLITERATING COMMUNITIES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU KAREN.

ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENT? MR. CHAIRMAN, I BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL CITIZENS IN THE AUDIENCE THAT LIKE TO SPEAK. OKAY, LET'S GO ONE AT A TIME HERE.

JUST RAISE YOUR HAND, COME TO THE PODIUM AND SET. OKAY.

SAY WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU RESIDE. PLEASE.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS JOSEPHINE RIGHT? I LIVE AT 51.

FORGIVE ME FOR MY I'M NOT A VERY LOUD TALKER. 51 JONES WILL ROAD HILTON HEAD.

I'M 93 YEARS OLD AND WHEN I MOVED HERE IN 1994 I MY HUSBAND I RETIRED HERE AND WE WERE 50 YEAR. 51 YEARS MARRIED. HE PASSED AWAY IN 1998.

HOWEVER MY PROBLEM IS IN REFERENCE THE HARASSMENT MY THE COMPANY THAT IS DOING THE BUILDING ON THIS JONES VALLEY ROAD. MOST PEOPLE KNOW JONES ROAD.

AT THE TIME I CAME WAS ONLY ON DIRT ROAD. TWO YEARS LATER IT BECAME A PAID DROVE HARDLY ANY TRAFFIC OR ANYTHING COMING TODAY WE AN INVASION OF A CONSTRUCTION GOING ON RIGHT NEXT TO MY PROPERTY. MY THEIR PROPERTY IS AROUND ME AND. I'M RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND IT SEEMS THAT I AM

[00:20:05]

I NOW HAVE TO GO TRY TO FIND A SERVER FOR MY PROPERTY AND WISH THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP THE HARASSMENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS MA'AM THERE IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD WISH TO SPEAK? PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND YOUR RESIDENCY PLEASE. HELLO MY IS DANIEL ANTHONY .

I'M CO-CHAIR OF THE JANESVILLE PRESERVATION SOCIETY. FOR THOSE WHO MAY HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING AS TO WHAT THE JBS ALL ABOUT, LET ME EXPLAIN. JBS WAS FORMED THE SOLE PURPOSE OF CREATING A MORE TRANSPARENT FORM OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TOWN OFFICIALS AND THE RESIDENTS OF HILTON HEAD TO HELP THE TOWN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE VIEWS CONCERNS DESIRES OF THEIR RESIDENTS WITH REGARD TO OVERDEVELOPMENT SHORT TERM RENTALS, DENSITY, PROPERTY SETBACKS, PARKING DISTRICT PLANS ETC. AND IN RETURN HELP RESIDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT DICTATE HOW PROPERTY CAN BE DEVELOPED AND UTILIZED.

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE SOLE REASON THAT THE JPC EXISTS. JBS IS NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT SHORT TERM RENTALS OR THE ABILITY OF A PROPERTY OWNER TO DEVELOP THEIR LAND.

ALL THESE THINGS CAN BE DONE AS LONG AS THEY'RE DONE CORRECTLY IN INAPPROPRIATE AREAS DEVELOPMENT AND WHEN DONE CORRECTLY CAN BE A GOOD THING. HOWEVER DEVELOPMENT DONE INCORRECTLY WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE AND EVER IMPACT TO THIS ISLAND FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. HAVE ALL ALREADY SEEN THIS BAILEYS COVE JUST ONE.

DEVELOPERS PILLAGE THIS FOR PROFIT DEVELOPERS DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS.

THEY NEVER HAVE AND THEY NEVER WILL. MAKE NO MISTAKE THEY'RE HERE FOR ONE REASON ONLY AND THAT'S TO MAKE MONEY. THIS ISLAND HAS CATERED TO THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS LONG. NEARLY EVERYONE AGREES TOWN OFFICIALS AND RESIDENTS ALIKE THAT THE CURRENT ELMO IS OUTDATED, DOESN'T WORK. AND JANUARY, AS MY CO-CHAIRS MENTION WE THE JP'S PRESENTED THE RESPONSE TO OUR SURVEY AND OVERDEVELOPED.

I WANT TO READ THIS PART AGAIN. OUT OF OVER 1700 RESPONDENTS 96% WANTED THE TOWN TO ROLL BACK ZONING DETER TO CURB. THE THREE TOP CONCERNS WERE TRAFFIC VOLUME, QUALITY OF LIFE

[00:25:04]

TODAY'S AMENDMENTS ARE STEP IN THAT PROCESS. AJP ASKS THE RESIDENTS HERE AND THE RESIDENTS WATCHING FROM HOME TOTALLY SUPPORT THE TOWN STAFF AND I ASK THIS COMMISSION TO SUPPORT THE TOWN STAFF ALSO. I ENCOURAGE YOU THIS COMMISSION TO FORWARD THESE AMENDMENTS BEFORE THE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF HEALTHNET. AND MAY I REMIND YOU THAT WE THE RESIDENTS OF HILTON HEAD WE ARE HILTON HEAD. THANK YOU, SIR, FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WE APPRECIATE IT. ANYONE ELSE PLEASE SPARE MARY PRATT I LIVE ON GIANCANA. I DIDN'T WRITE ANYTHING DOWN SO I'M GOING TO WING IT BUT ALL HOUSES ON OUR STREET THIS YEAR WE HAVE FOUR NEW SPEC HOMES WHICH IS 90 MORE BEDS HEADS IN THE BEDS. THAT'S IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE THE STREET AND IF YOU COUNT HOW MANY MORE GARBAGE TRUCKS, HOW MANY MORE RENTALS OUR RENTAL PEOPLE WILL BE CHECKING THE HOUSES, CLEANING THE HOUSES, LANDSCAPERS IT'S JUST UNBELIEVABLE.

THAT'S JUST ON THE LAND SIDE, NOT THE OCEAN SIDE. THIS IS JUST THE LAND SIDE.

WE'VE BEEN IN THAT HOUSE SINCE 1979 WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS WHEN IT WAS A DIRT ROAD.

THESE HOMES ARE NOT THEY'RE NOT RESIDENCES. THEY'RE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

THEY SHOULD BE. BUT HE'S REZONE THEM TO COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT IN THE PEOPLE THAT YELL AT US WHEN TRY TO JUST SAY PLEASE STOP SCREAMING IN THE POOL. IT JUST DOESN'T WORK NO MATTER HOW NICE WE ARE TO THEM IT'S CRAZY. SO I DON'T NEED 3 MINUTES. OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS. OTHERS PLEASE ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR? THANK YOU. MY NAME IS KARL BRADEN.

I DO LIVE IN CHAPLIN FOR 25 YEARS AND I DIDN'T TO HAVE TO DEFEND MYSELF TODAY FROM ALL THESE ATTACKS BUT I DID HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW THAN THE PRESERVATION SOCIETY AND I'VE FACED THEIR WRATH AND I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE THEIR MISSION WHICH IF YOU READ THEIR THEIR COMMENTS IT'S USUALLY STOP DEVELOPMENT START BUT THAT BEING SAID MY POINT OF VIEW IS I DID LIVE ON BRADLEY. I DID SELL MY LOT. I STILL ENJOY THE CIRCLE VERY MUCH IT STILL TO THIS DAY IS 87.5% 6% RESIDENTS NOT 4%. THE 4% ARE HALF OF THEM ARE VERY LOUD BUT IT IS A VACATION AREA HISTORICALLY, TRADITIONALLY AND SO ON SO THAT BEING SAID IF I COULD JUST READ MY PREPARED PLEASE I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD WITH A GIRL, A FAMILY. THE CHRISTOPHERS AND IT IS AN R D TRACT.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE DEFENDING MY RIGHTS NOT IN TRYING TO TAKE ELSE'S OR HURT ANYBODY ELSE OR GOING AGAINST EVERYTHING LOOKING FOR WHICH IS TO KEEP THINGS NICE.

I'M ALL FOR IT. I HELP TO KEEP THINGS NICE AND I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING ATTACKED BUT NONETHELESS OKAY SO SOME SAY IT MAKES NO SENSE BUT THERE ARE VALID REASONS FOR DEFINITION OF SINGLE FAMILY INCLUDING TWO UNITS ON A SINGLE SINGULAR AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY. THIS ALLOWS FOR A DUPLEX WITH ONE OWNER OR A SEPARATE FAMILY APARTMENT ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT MOTHER IN LAW SUITE LIKE A UNIT IF THE DENSITY ALLOWS FOR AND AS ZONING RIGHT IN AREAS SUCH AS RESORT DEVELOPMENT AN ABSOLUTE TO HAVE A LOCKOUT UNIT WHICH IS ALSO AN ACCESSORY USE UNIT WITHOUT HAVING TO DEAL WITH MULTIFAMILY REGULATIONS ACCESS EASEMENT REGULATIONS INCREASED BUFFER WITH ALL THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S FOR CHILDREN OR YOUR FAMILY AN ATTIC APARTMENT SO ON IT'S GOING TO MAKE MORE DIFFICULT.

SO I WAS JUST READING WHAT THEY JUST RELEASED TODAY TO TRY TO EXPLAIN THAT THERE'S NO CHANGE IN BUFFERS BUT IN FACT IF YOU LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER I BELIEVE THAT WITH YOU WILL HAVE TO GET A VARIANCE AND IT'S IF YOU GET A VARIANCE WITH MULTIFAMILY YOU CAN ONLY GET 10% REDUCTION SO

[00:30:07]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR FOR YOUR COMMENTS HERE AND ANYONE ELSE? YES, SIR. MY NAME IS NEWTON GREEN AND I'M VERY CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE JONESBORO PRESERVATION SOCIETY AND I APPLAUD THE WORK HAVE DONE TO THIS POINT.

I HAVE A DIRECT QUESTION FOR EVERYONE SITTING AT THE COUNCIL HERE TODAY.

YOU ALL HAVE VERY BACKGROUNDS AND I'M SURE YOU'VE READ ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TODAY. YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE DEFINITION OF MULTIFAMILY SINGLE FAMILY LOCKOUTS. MOTHER IN LAW SUITES. YOU ALL KNOW THAT.

MY OPENING QUESTION TO YOU IS WHO'S ENFORCING THIS? IT'S HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS IS IT WAS PART OF THE 2014 ALAMO WHO ENFORCING THIS? ALL OF THE PEOPLE I HAVE SPOKEN SO FAR HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN VARIOUS ITERATIONS AND AND FORUMS SO WE CAN'T SAY IT'S NOT HAPPENING UNDER WHOSE WATCH SHOULD BE MORE CLOSELY LOOKED AT AND RECTIFIED SO I'M CHALLENGING YOU TO COME BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND ANSWER MY QUESTION WHO IS ENFORCING THE 2014 ALAMO BECAUSE CERTAINLY IS NOT BEING DONE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR. HELLO, JACK DALY FOR SPEECH AND I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE THIS HAPPENING. WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING WITH LOCKOUTS AND SHUTDOWN IN 15 YEARS, MAYBE 20 YEARS. AND FOR SPEECH THE THING YOU WANT IS A LOCKOUT.

THAT IS THE LAST PIECE OF DEVELOPMENT YOU EVER WANT TO SEE BECAUSE IT'S SET UP WHERE ONE PEOPLE ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ELECTRICAL PANEL AS THEY'RE REQUIRED TO BY NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE . SO THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SOMEBODY ON SITE 24 SEVEN WITH A KEY THAT CAN ACCESS THAT PANEL IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG. THOSE DEVELOPMENTS FAIL AT A RATE THAT'S OF REGULAR DEVELOPMENTS. SO WHAT YOU HAVE THEN IS ONE REGULAR STANDARD CONFORMING UNIT AND A UNIT THAT'S INFERIOR AND UNSAFE. THAT HAPPENED TO ZANDER WHAT HAPPENED AT OCEAN WALK AND IF YOU DO IT IN PLACE THAT'S LESS RESORT RENTAL FRIENDLY LIKE JANESVILLE THEY'RE GOING TO FAIL AT AN EVEN HIGHER RATE AND WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE LIVING IN A LOCKOUT UNIT, PLUGGING IN SPACE HEATERS AND OTHER OVERCURRENT DEVICES, THROWING BREAKERS IN THE OTHER UNIT. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING, HOW MANY AMPS THE CIRCUIT WAS. IT'S A BIG ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SO NATIONAL CODE SAYS EACH OCCUPANT MUST HAVE READY ACCESS TO TO THE PANEL FOR ALL OVERCURRENT DEVICES RIGHT. SO PLEASE DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE LOCKOUTS.

IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR US AND IT'S NEW TO JANESVILLE BUT IT'S BEEN OUR NIGHTMARE FOR 15, 20 YEARS. I APPLAUD MAKING SENSE OF THE LANGUAGE OF HOW MANY UNITS AND CLEARING UP THE LANGUAGE ON SINGLE DEVELOPMENT, SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING UNITS ON SINGLE FAMILY LOTS YOU KNOW SOME OF THE DEFINITIONS ARE REALLY MYSTERIOUS AND EXPLOITABLE AND IF IT'S EXPLOITABLE A DOLLAR IF THE CODE IS NOT CLEAR THE LANGUAGE IS NOT PERFECTLY CLEAR AND SIMPLY PLAIN IT'LL GET EXPLOITED. YOU KNOW A DEVELOPER WILL HIRE AN ATTORNEY AND THEY'LL PUSH IT AND PUSH IT PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THIS IS HAPPENING. I WISH THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED 15 YEARS AGO FOR US, MAYBE A LITTLE LATE FOR SOME PARTS OF FOREST BEACH BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR THESE GUYS SO PLEASE CONSIDER WHAT THEY'RE SAYING AND PLEASE NO MORE LOCKOUTS.

JUST MAKE THE LANGUAGE CLEAR AND SIMPLE AND YOU KNOW, I'M KIND OLD FASHIONED.

I LIKE THE ONE SINGLE FAMILY LOT WITH A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE AND A SINGLE FAMILY THAT ACTUALLY LIVES THERE THAT'S. THAT'S VERY SIMPLE AND BUT THAT'S WHAT IT SHOULD BE.

[00:35:05]

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH MUCH. YES, MA'AM. GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS AMY AND I'M ALSO FROM FOREST BEACH. I'VE BEEN A LONG TERM FULL TIME RESIDENT FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT OUR HOME IN 2008 DOWN ON PELICAN STREET ALL THE WAY DOWN WE WERE LETTER P SO WE WEREN'T IN THE MIX OF POLYGAMY AND ALL THE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY SHALL WE SAY? MOST OF THE RESIDENTS AT THAT TIME WERE ALL FULL TIMERS. THERE WAS MAYBE ONE SHORT TERM RENTAL ON THE LAND SIDE OF BEACH. WE NOW HAVE OVER HALF OF OUR HOMES AS SHORT TERM RENTALS EVERY SATURDAY THERE'S A TURNOVER THERE'S LANDSCAPERS, THERE IS POOL, THERE'S PARKING, THERE'S TRAFFIC. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET HOME OR TO TRY TO GO SHOPPING ON MANY DAYS I'VE SEEN APARTMENTS GO ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF A GARAGE.

I'VE SEEN GARAGES BEING CREATED ON THE CORNER OF JACANA AND NORTH FOREST BEACH.

I WOULD GO VISIT NORTH AND WITH MY FAMILY FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I'D COME HOME AND THERE'D BE BUILDING A GIANT BUILDING CLOSE TO THE EDGE. WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT THE ALAMO. WE NEED TO LOOK AT TREE PRESERVATION AND MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS HERE ON THE ISLAND THANK YOU OTHER COMMENTS? YES SIR. AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS GEORGE PALLOTTA.

I LIVE AT 110 CLUB COURSE DRIVE SEA PINES PLANTATION. I JUST WANT TO BRING TO THE FACT THAT SINCE 2014 THE YEAR OF THE ALAMO CHANGES THIS ISLAND HAS BEEN EXPLOITED BY DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS. IT IS TIME THAT WE CORRECT THOSE INEQUITIES THAT HAVE BROUGHT US TO THIS PHASE OF THE SITUATIONS THAT ARE FACING YOU AND THE NEW PEOPLE HERE ON THE BOARD. ANY APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE SHOWN TO THE PUBLIC WHEN THEY COME IN NOT WHEN THEY ARE OVERLY DONE ALREADY DONE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN VOICE THEIR OPINIONS AND BRING TO YOU WHAT THE REAL CAUSES THEY FEEL MAY AFFECT THAT PROPERTY OR THEIR PROPERTY. THE SECOND POINT IS WE ALL MAKE INVESTMENTS.

LOOK AT THE STOCK MARKET TODAY. I BET YOU ALL OF YOU LOOKING AT YOUR 401 KS HAVE SEEN IT GO DOWN OR GO WHERE YOU DON'T WANT IT TO GO. SO WHEN PEOPLE COME UP HERE AND SAY I WAS GIVEN A PIECE OF PROPERTY AND I REALLY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD TWO OR THREE HOUSES ON IT AND I WOULD MAKE A WINDFALL. WELL THAT'S WHAT HILTON HEAD IS ABOUT. WE'RE NOT HERE FOR YOU TO MAKE MONEY LIKE THE DEVELOPERS MAKE AND THEN RUN. WE'RE HERE TO LIVE. I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 1980 AND I'VE SEEN WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THIS ISLAND AND. THE NEXT GUY I'M GOING TO GET TO WAS YOUR TRAFFIC GUY. BUT ALAMO IS MOST CORRECT. IS THIS NEW PLANNING BOARD MUST CORRECT THE ALAMO WOES OF 2014. THEY HAVE BEEN EXPLOITED AND THEY HAVE TO STOP.

THEY HAVE GOT TO STOP THE TOWN BOARD AND ITSELF HAS FAILED US RESIDENTS DRAMATICALLY NOT YOUR FAULT BUT IN COERCION OF THE ALAMO. THEY HAVE ALLOWED CERTAIN THINGS TO TAKE PLACE ON THIS ISLAND FOR THE BENEFIT OF DEVELOPERS AND AND BUILDERS . SO WE NOW HAVE A SITUATION WHERE IT'S COME TO THE SOMEONE HAS TO STEP UP AS GEORGE PATTON DID IN WORLD WAR TWO AND SAY I SMELL THE BLOOD ON THE WAR ON THE WAR FRONT AND I'M ASHAMED SAY I LOVE IT BUT AT LEAST HE'S GETTING SOMETHING DONE.

SO I HOPE SOMEWHERE HERE AND SOMEWHERE IN THAT BACK ROOM THERE'S A GEORGE PATTON FOR OUR HILTON HEAD ISLAND THAT WE MOVED HERE AND LIVING HERE FOR 40 YEARS.

I EXPECT TO COME HERE EARLIER. WE USE IT AS A VACATION AND NEVER RENT IT.

SO PLEASE DON'T SHED OUT ALLIGATOR TEARS FOR PEOPLE WHO SAY WELL I BOUGHT IT AND NOW I WANTED TO RENT IT SO THAT I CAN SAVE FOR LATER IN LIFE. WELL THAT'S FINE BUT YOU DO THAT ACCORDING TO THE RULES AND THOSE LOCKOUTS ARE A DISASTER AND I'M SURPRISED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EVER ALLOWED THE TOWN TO APPROVE THOSE. I'M SURPRISED.

[00:40:09]

IN DEFERENCE TO THE RESIDENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR FOR YOUR COMMENTS. OTHERS YES SIR. MY NAME IS JOE JUDGE.

I LIVE ON THE ISLAND OF SKYVIEW MANOR AND I'M BUILDING ON JONES ROAD RIGHT NOW.

I DIDN'T PLAN ON TALKING TODAY BUT I JUST WANTED TO COME SAY A FEW WORDS BECAUSE UNLIKE A LOT THE PEOPLE THAT SPOKE TODAY I'M A NEW PERSON TO HILTON HEAD. WE VACATIONED HERE FOR YEARS AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE ISLAND. THE THE BEAUTY OF IT, THE FRIENDLINESS OF IT. AND NOW WE'RE STARTING AROUND 2000 AND WE BOUGHT A PART TIME HOME HERE. DIDN'T RENT IT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT THAT.

WE DIDN'T WANT THAT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEN WHEN OUR KIDS FINALLY WENT OFF TO COLLEGE, WE DECIDED TO COME DOWN HERE FOR PERMANENT.

AND SO WE'RE WE'RE BUILDING OUR OUR LAST HOUSE ON JANESVILLE ROAD AND JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME AND EVERYBODY WHO SPOKE BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY A SPECIAL PLACE. WE LOVE IT HERE. AND WE DO KNOW AND RECOGNIZE THAT THINGS STARTED CHANGING WHEN THE ALAMO CHANGED IN 2014 AND THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S FRANKLY OUT OF HAND AND VERY SURPRISING TO WHEN IT WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING ESPECIALLY ON JONES JONESVILLE BECAUSE THAT'S OUR AREA.

WE EXPECT THIS. WE HAD NO IDEA. WE FELT ALMOST BLINDSIDED WHEN IT ALL CAME TO FRUITION AND THEN AND THEN THEY WENT IN AND LEVELED THE PLACE.

IT WAS LIKE BEING BACK IN RALEIGH NORTH WHERE WE CAME FROM.

THAT'S WHAT THEY DO IN RALEIGH . THEY JUST LEVEL EVERYTHING AND START OVER AND I DIDN'T THINK WE DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD DO THAT HERE AND IT SHOCKED US AND WE KNOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE A BIG JOB TO DO. WE APPRECIATE YOUR STEPPING FORTH AND VOLUNTEERING TO DO IT AND WE WANT TO SUPPORT YOU AND WE WANT YOU TO US AND AND TOGETHER WE CAN WE CAN COME TOGETHER. WE CAN MAKE IT RIGHT.

WE CAN ROLL IT BACK AND WE CAN MAKE IT THE HILTON HEAD THAT FOR ME PERSONALLY WE FELL IN LOVE HIM AND JUST WANTED TO COME AND SPEND THE REST OF OUR DAYS HERE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SO. OTHER COMMENTS WE'RE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SPOKEN IS ABOUT EQUAL TO THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE. SO THAT'S A THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.

BUT WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE TO REMARK IF YOU WOULD LIKE OKAY.

SEE NO OTHER INTEREST IN COMMENT. CAN I ASK WAS THERE ANY PORTAL COMMENT THAT WE NEED TO. SIR THERE WERE AND A FULL SET OF THE COMMENTS WERE SENT TO THE PLANNING AND WILL BE MADE PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. OKAY.

THANK YOU. DOES EVERYBODY THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAVE THOSE THOSE

[9. Unfinished Business ]

[00:45:11]

SO I'M GOING TO GO OVER I'M GOING STEP BACKWARDS A LITTLE BIT AND TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT OUR BROADER L.A. PLAN THAT WE'RE WORKING TO IMPLEMENT .

AND THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE IMPLEMENTING OCEAN PATH THAT WE'RE ON RIGHT NOW.

WE HAPPEN TO BE IMPLEMENTING THREE OF A PHASE FIVE PHASE ELMO AMENDMENT PLAN WE WORKED IN MID-JANUARY THIS YEAR AFTER WE HIRED A CONSULTANT TEAM TO CONDUCT CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF OUR LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE, A CODE CONSULTANT TEAM AND WE MET TO REVIEW THAT ANALYSIS. IT WAS CALLED A SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE CODE SO WE IDENTIFIED WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS AND AND THEN ANALYZED A PLAN TO IMPLEMENT SOME STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE OUR CODE . AND AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS FIVE PHASED APPROACH IS AND THEN I'LL KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE PHASES TWO OF WHICH ARE ALREADY ADOPTED BY TOWN COUNCIL. SO PHASE ONE AGAIN WAS REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND WAS ADOPTED BY COUNCIL EARLIER THIS MONTH.

THIS WAS THE SET THAT REMOVED IT REMOVED THE WAIVER PROCESS ALLOWED ADDITIONAL SECTIONS TO SEEK A VARIANCE FROM ALLOWED OUTDOOR SCREEN STORAGE CLARIFICATION AND MANUFACTURING USE AS IT RELATES TO THE SIZE OF A MICROBREWERY. REPLACED THE MONTH OF WHICH WE ASSESS TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS COUNTS CHANGED WHEN OR HOW PLANTINGS ARE ON SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AS PART OF A SUBDIVISION AND THE CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE PROCESS.

WE CHANGED THE DEFINITION OF CHANGEABLE COPY SO THAT WE CAN ALLOW SIGNS TO BE CHANGED ELECTRONICALLY. WE ALSO AMENDED THE CALCULATION FOR HEIGHT AND ADDED OWNER'S CONSENT AS A REQUIREMENT FOR MINOR SUBDIVISIONS AND THEN ALSO REQUIRED A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIREMENT FOR SUBDIVISION AMENDMENTS. PHASE TWO WAS ALSO RECENTLY ADOPTED BY COUNCIL AND WAS REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND ACTUALLY CAME BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR A SECOND TIME AND THAT WAS TO IDENTIFY STANDARDS FOR THOSE SUBDIVISION AMENDMENTS OR DEVIATIONS FROM PREVIOUSLY PLATTED SUBDIVISIONS.

AGAIN THOSE FIRST TWO SETS ARE APPROVED AND ADOPTED ARE CURRENTLY ENACTED.

SO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY IS PHASE THREE AND PHASE THREE IS TO DEFINITION CHANGES.

SO THE DEFINITION OF SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY. SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT THOSE DEFINITIONS BE MODIFIED AS WELL AS THE ELIMINATION OF DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS PHASE FOUR IS A MORE SUBSTANTIVE AMENDMENT SET AND THIS WILL INCLUDE A LOT MORE OF THE AND PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS FROM THAT SWOT ANALYSIS. SO DO INCLUDE A RANGE OF CHANGES INCLUDING ADMINISTRATIVE AND PROCEDURAL. WE'LL LOOK AT CREATION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES. A LOT OF UPDATES TO OUR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SITE DESIGN STANDARDS INCLUDING CONTEXT SENSITIVE DESIGN.

NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY. WE'RE LOOKING AT MASSING OF BUILDINGS, PARKING AND WE'RE GOING TO CREATE SOME ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS AND ILLUSTRATIONS IN THE CODE TO HELP BETTER ILLUSTRATE THE TEXT LANGUAGE. WE'RE LOOKING AT MODIFYING THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY SIGNAGE CODE CHANGES STORMWATER AS WELL AS STRENGTHENING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL SECTION INCLUDING WETLAND BEACH AND TREE REGULATIONS. SO THAT'S COMING IN PHASE FOUR AND AGAIN ON THAT TIMETABLE.

PHASE FOUR IS PROGRAMED RIGHT NOW TO BE COMING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN MAY AND JUNE. SO THAT'S PHASE FOUR AND THEN PHASE FIVE IS A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE ENTIRE PROCESS. SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT EVERY CHAPTER, EVERY SECTION WITHIN THE CODE . WE'RE ALSO TO OVERHAUL THE CODE AND ITS ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE. SO WHILE IT MIGHT NOT BE A COMPLETELY FULL REWRITE BUT IT WILL INCLUDE A MUCH MORE USER OUTPUT OF THE CODE AND AND THEN THE BIG PIECE IS THAT IT WILL BE BROUGHT MORE INTO ALIGNMENT WITH OUR PLAN AND INTEGRATION WITH ALL OF THE OUTPUTS FROM THIS SUMMER'S GROWTH FRAMEWORK AND DISTRICT PLANNING INITIATIVE.

SO WE HAVE A CONSULTANT TEAM THAT WE'RE WORKING ON THE AMENDMENTS PROJECT AS WELL AS A CONSULTANT TEAM THAT'S WORKING ON THE LARGER GROWTH FRAMEWORK AND DISTRICT PLAN INITIATIVE.

AND WE HAVE COORDINATION CALLS BUILT IN TO BOTH OF THOSE TEAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE

[00:50:01]

YEAH. SO PHASE FIVE AGAIN SO THE THE BLOCK THAT WE'RE IDENTIFYING AND THAT'S OUR BEST GUESS HOW LONG THE GROWTH FRAMEWORK AND DISTRICT PLANNING PROCESS WILL TAKE. BUT THE PLAN IS IS THAT THOSE THOSE CHANGES ARE HAPPENING IN 2024 THEN YOU CAN SEE WE'RE ANTICIPATING MAYBE IN THE END OF QUARTER ONE OF 2024 AND INTO THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2024 WOULD BE WHEN THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE.

SO WE'RE JUST ANTICIPATING THAT THAT WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF THE IMPLEMENTATION ARM OF THE DISTRICT AND GROWTH PLANS. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY MITZI, THAT WAS VERY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE QUESTIONS OR WE'LL GET TO COMMENTS IN JUST A MOMENT. I WILL MENTION JUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE THREE OVER HERE THAT THIS WAS THE ONE OF THE KEY QUESTIONS LAST TIME WHICH WAS WE WEREN'T SURE THAT WE KNEW THE WHOLE CONTEXT OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S PHASE ONE? WHAT'S PHASE TWO? WHAT'S INCLUDED IN PHASE THREE? AND WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR YOU COME BACK AND GIVE US THAT CONTEXT AND I THINK WE'LL DO BETTER NEXT TIME BECAUSE THERE'LL BE SOME THOROUGH OR CONFUSING STUFF THAT COMES FORWARD IN THESE NEXT PHASES.

SO WE APPRECIATE IT. SURE. NOW I'M SORRY.

GO AHEAD. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I WOULD SAY I WATCHED LAST MEETING AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I SAW HEARD ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ASKED WAS THE SETBACK ITSELF. CURRENTLY I THINK IT'S A 30 OR NO SORRY 20 AND THEY WERE ABOUT MOVING IT TO 30 IF IT WAS A SINGLE FAMILY WITH A MULTI-FAMILY.

SO DOES THAT MEAN 15 AND 15 ON EACH PROPERTY OWNERS HOME OR IS IT.

WELL, WE'LL GET TO THAT. OKAY. SO THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE CHANGE FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO MULTIFAMILY AND HOW IMPACTS SETBACKS AND BUFFERS WHICH AGAIN FOR THE NEW FOLKS THAT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS.

YOU KNOW THAT'S IT. THANK YOU MISS. SO AGAIN BEFORE YOU TODAY IS IS THE TEXT AMENDMENT BEFORE YOU AND IT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU REVIEW IT AND THAT YOU FOR IT A RECOMMENDATION TODAY TO TOWN COUNCIL AFTER WE GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION.

SO WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS PHASE THREE AMENDMENTS SET? IT'S TO SIMPLY MODIFY THE DEFINITIONS AGAIN FOR MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY TO BE MORE LIKE USED LANGUAGE IN LAND MANAGEMENT CODES, ZONING CODES AND ALSO TO ELIMINATE THE VISIBLE DWELLING UNITS TO CALIBRATE THE APPLICABLE DENSITY SUCH THAT THERE ARE NO PARTIAL DWELLING UNITS. SO WHAT ARE THE PROPOSED CHANGES THAT INCLUDED IN THE AMENDMENT? AGAIN, THE CHANGE FOR THE DEFINITIONS IS TO HAVE THE DEFINITION SINGLE FAMILY PERTAIN TO INSTEAD OF CURRENTLY TO ONE OR TWO UNITS IS CONSIDERED TO BE SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTI-FAMILY IS CURRENTLY THREE OR MORE.

AND SO IT'S TO CHANGE THE DEFINITIONS OF SINGLE FAMILY TO APPLY TO ONE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING UNIT AND MULTIFAMILY MEANS OR MORE DWELLING UNITS. AND THEN IT'S THE ELIMINATION DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS. WE'LL GO THROUGH IN THE PRESENTATION WE ANALYZE THE SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY A BIT SO THIS THESE CONSIDERATIONS PERTAIN TO THE CHANGE FROM SINGLE FAMILY DESIGNATION TO TWO MULTIFAMILY AND I WANTED TO IDENTIFY OR MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS DOESN'T CHANGE DENSITY THIS IS JUST CHANGING WHETHER OR NOT THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE PARCEL IS THAT WE REVIEW FROM THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STANDPOINT AND HOW WE APPLY SETBACKS AND BUFFERS WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY USE THAT PARCEL OR MULTIFAMILY. SO AGAIN IF IF THE PARCEL HAS ENOUGH DENSITY TO HAVE TWO UNITS ON IT, THIS CHANGE DOESN'T CHANGE DENSITY.

THEY COULD STILL HAVE TWO UNITS. IT'S JUST THAT THE SETBACKS AND BUFFERS FOR SINGLE FAMILY WOULD NO LONGER AND WE WOULD USE THE SETBACKS AND BUFFERS FOR

[00:55:04]

OKAY. AND SO THE MAJORITY OF THOSE ARE LOCATED IN HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS. HOWEVER THOSE PROPERTIES THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY ONLY 50 OF THEM THAT HAVE DENSITY FOR TWO UNITS AND WOULD BE IMPACTED BY THE CHANGE SUCH THAT A LOT OF THE OTHER PARCELS ARE LARGER THAN THAT AND WOULD HAVE DENSITY FOR THREE OR MORE IN THE MULTIFAMILY AND BUFFERS WOULD ALREADY BE APPLICABLE IF THAT WAS THE DENSITY THAT WAS ON THE PARCEL. SO THERE ARE THREE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ARE THREE ARE AS FIVE AND ARE SIX THAT ONLY ALLOW FOR SINGLE FAMILY USE AND NOT MULTIFAMILY.

SO ALL OF THE OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ALSO ALLOW MULTIFAMILY SO IT'S NO CHANGE OF THOSE THREE DISTRICTS THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW MULTIFAMILY ON THEM. THERE ARE NO STRUCTURES IN THOSE DISTRICTS THAT WOULD BECOME NON-CONFORMING. SO FAMILY COMPOUNDS IN SUBDIVISIONS ARE ALSO NOT AFFECTED BY THE CHANGE. IT'S CODIFIED IN THOSE APPLICATIONS THAT THEY'RE CONSIDERED BE SINGLE FAMILY USE.

SO I WILL GO THROUGH THAT THERE WOULD BE CHANGES TO SETBACKS AND BUFFERS AND THEIR APPLICABILITY. THE MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES DO RESULT IN FLEXIBILITY MORE FLEXIBILITY TO THE SITES BUT THERE WOULD BE IMPACTS IF. THOSE PROPERTIES WERE LOCATED ON EITHER TIDAL OR FRESHWATER WETLANDS AND WE APPROXIMATED THAT THERE'S ABOUT TEN PROPERTIES THAT ARE IMPACTED BY THIS CHANGE. SO THIS IS THE GRAPHIC THAT SHOWS THOSE 146 PARCELS THAT COULD BE IMPACTED AND HERE'S THE DOCUMENT THAT IDENTIFIES THE SETBACK AND BUFFER IMPACTS ANY. SO WE HAVE A DIFFERENT SET IN BUFFER APPLICATIONS BASED ON THE FIRST ITEM IS BASED ON YOUR ADJACENT STREET SETBACK AND DEPENDING ON IF YOU'RE ON A MAJOR ARTERIAL MINOR ARTERIAL OR OTHER STREET, THERE'S CHANGE INTO THE TO THE SETBACK THAT WOULD BE APPLICABLE FOR THE ADJACENT USE SETBACK.

IN ALL CASES FOR DEVELOPED PROPERTIES OR UNDEVELOPED IT'S THE SAME OR REDUCED AND IN A LOT OF CASES IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT OUR SETBACK AND BUFFER TABLES IN THE CODE THE SETBACKS PREDOMINANTLY ARE OUR 20. IF YOU'RE ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY OR OTHER RESIDENTIAL AND AND THE BUFFER IS A TYPE A OAK AND SO SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT REALLY START TO OCCUR IS THAT IN THE WETLAND BUFFERS CURRENTLY IF YOU'RE ADJACENT TO A TIDAL WETLAND THE CURRENT SETBACK RESIDENTIAL IS 20 FEET AND THERE'S NO WETLAND BUFFER OR SETBACK FOR FRESH WATER.

NOW THIS CHANGE FROM. AND AGAIN I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU HAD TWO HOMES ON ONE PARCEL AND YOU'RE NOW YOU ARE CONSIDERED SINGLE FAMILY AND NOW YOU'RE CONSIDERED MULTIFAMILY BECAUSE THREE OR MORE PARCELS UNUSED ON A LOT WOULD ALREADY HAVE TO MEET ALL OF THESE CHANGES TO THE WETLAND BUFFER TABLES.

OKAY. SO FOR FRESH WATER THERE ALSO IS THIS INTRODUCTION OF MEETING A MINIMUM BUFFER REQUIREMENT BUT ALSO AVERAGE AND I HAVE SOME GRAPHICS.

AGAIN WE IDENTIFIED THAT THIS APPLIES OR COULD APPLY TO TEN PROPERTIES.

SO THIS IS HOW WE WOULD APPLY SETBACKS IN BUFFERS ON A TIDAL WETLAND PROPERTY AGAIN.

SO THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS THAT YOU HAVE TWO HOMES ON A PARCEL. IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE SINGLE USE CURRENTLY UNDER THE CODE AND THESE WOULD BE THE SETBACKS BUFFERS THAT THAT WOULD APPLY. THERE'S A 20 FOOT ADJACENT YOU STEP BACK ON THE SIDES THERE'S A 40 FOOT ADJACENT STREET STEP BACK. THE GREEN LINE ARE THE BUFFERS THAT ARE APPLICABLE AND THEN THERE'S RIGHT A 20 FOOT TIDAL WETLAND BUFFER AND A FIVE FOOT WETLAND BUFFER SET BACK FROM THAT. SO IF THIS WENT THROUGH WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THAT THESE PARTICULAR HOMES WOULD BECOME LEGAL STRUCTURES.

YOU CAN SEE THE THE MULTI-PHASE FAMILY BUFFER SETBACK ILLUSTRATED ON THE SCREEN BEFORE. THERE'S STILL A 20 FOOT MINIMUM TIDAL WETLAND BUFFER THAT'S REQUIRED BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO MEET A 40 FOOT AVERAGE FOR ALL OF YOUR STRUCTURES AND THAT'S IDENTIFIED OR IT'S CALCULATED BY IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A MATH PROBLEM BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE AND PUT INCREMENTS ALONG THE TIDAL WETLAND BUFFER AREA AND COME UP WITH THAT AVERAGE FOR

[01:00:06]

SO IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE THE HOMES ARE CURRENTLY ON THE LOT WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BECOME NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES OR NOT WITH THIS CHANGE. I'LL STOP THERE BEFORE WE GET INTO VISIBLE DWELLING UNITS. I KNOW THAT THE APPLICABILITY OF THE WETLAND BUFFERS AND THE AVERAGE BUFFER SETBACK IS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING TO GO OVER SO I WANTED TO STOP THERE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT AS WELL AS THAT THE ADJACENT STREET SETBACK AND BUFFERS AND ADJACENT STEP BACK AND BUFFERS IN MOST CASES HAVE NO CHANGE OR THAT THEY'RE THEIR SETBACKS AND BUFFERS ARE ACTUALLY REDUCED TO ONLY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND THIS POINT AND SO MY QUESTION I HAVE IS OF THE TEN LOTS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE BUILT ON ALREADY? DO YOU KNOW THAT I MEAN THAT VERSUS BEING JUST EMPTY LAND THAT THIS COULD AFFECT THEIR FUTURE BUILDING BECAUSE IF IT'S BUILT ALREADY IT WOULD BECOME NON-CONFORMING? SURE.

DID YOU LOOK AT WHETHER THEY WERE DEVELOPED OR UNDEVELOPED TO THEY WERE ALL DEVELOPED.

YES, THEY'RE ALL DEVELOPED SO THEY WOULD ALL BECOME NON-CONFORMING BUT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT I MEAN YEAH WE COULD LOOK AT THOSE INDIVIDUALLY. YES.

ARE THEY CONCENTRATED IN LIKE IN A CERTAIN AREA OR SPREAD OUT PRETTY MUCH THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND? THEY'RE SPREAD OUT. SO THEY WERE I MEAN THEY'RE TEN OF OF THOSE THAT HAPPEN TO BE ON FRESH WATER TIDAL THAT ARE THE RED DOTS ON THIS MAP WHEN WE MOVE THE THE WETLAND BUFFERS TO THE 20 AND THE 40 ARE THE PRETTY STANDARD IN COASTAL COMMUNITIES I MEAN THERE'S A SCIENCE WON'T ALLOW US TO MAINTAIN SUSTAINABILITY OF THE WETLANDS AS A RESULT THIS AND SO THAT KIND OF SUSTAINABILITY WELL THIS CHANGE IF THEY WANTED TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR SITE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SUBSTITUTION OF NON-CONFORMITY AS PROCESS WHICH I'LL GO THROUGH LATER AS LONG AS THEY WERE NOT MAKING THEIR ENCROACHMENT IN THAT SETBACK OR BUFFER ANY WORSE AND THEY WERE IMPROVING SITE AND BRINGING IT MORE INTO CONFORMANCE THAN THEY COULD ADD IMPROVEMENT OR REDEVELOP THEIR PROPERTY. MY QUESTION A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CHANGE AND THE ACTUAL SETBACK ITSELF IS THAT A SETBACK THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH HOW OTHER COASTAL COMMUNITIES ADDRESS WETLANDS BEING A BARRIER ISLAND OR BEING MUCH MORE CONSERVATIVE WHICH IS SURE AND I JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WELL IT'S REALLY NO CHANGE THE EXISTING I MEAN THIS IS THIS THIS MULTIFAMILY BUFFER IS IS IN IS ON THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW. OKAY. WE'RE JUST APPLYING IT TO TWO HOMES ON A PARCEL INSTEAD OF THREE. OKAY.

OKAY. SO IT'S IT'S CURRENTLY IN PLACE.

OKAY. WERE ANY OF THOSE TEN LOTS IN HISTORICAL COMMUNITIES? IT'S IT'S ALL LIKELY, YES, PROBABLY WERE. I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS ON HOW MANY OF THEM THERE ARE. THERE WERE OF THE 146 TOTAL PROPERTIES THAT COULD BE IMPACTED OVER 90% WERE IN THE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS AS A ALL RIGHT.

OTHER QUESTIONS OKAY PROCEED TO THOSE 1010 PROPERTIES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE BEING GRANDFATHERED. THEY ARE, YES. SO THAT'S WHAT NON-CONFORMING MEANS. SO THAT THEY THE STRUCTURES CAN REMAIN AND THEY DO BECOME LEGAL NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES. AND WE HAVE CHAPTER 16 SEVEN IS HOW WE HANDLE NON-CONFORMITY.

THERE ARE YOU KNOW THEY COULD WELL JUST SAY IF OF THE HOMES WE'LL JUST SAY MAYBE THAT ONE OF THE HOMES IS A MANUFACTURED HOME AND THEY WANT TO REMOVE IT AND REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER.

THEY COULD STILL DO THAT WITHIN THE SAME MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE

[01:05:01]

PROBABLY PLANT SOME WETLAND BUFFER VEGETATION MAYBE REDUCE SOME CHANGE TO SOME IMPERVIOUS COVER FROM PERVIOUS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT OR I'M SORRY.

OKAY SO THE OTHER HALF OF THIS AMENDMENT SET IS THE REMOVAL OF THE VISIBLE DWELLING UNITS SO ALL EXISTING DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS WOULD BECOME LEGAL NONCONFORMITY AGAIN TO VISIBLE DWELLING ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED AS AN ACCESSORY USE WITH CONDITIONS AND THEY'RE ALLOWED IN TWO DISTRICTS THE LIGNE RESORT DISTRICT AND THE RESORT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWED IN MULTI-FAMILY OR INTERVAL OCCUPANCY DEVELOPMENTS AND INTERVAL OCCUPANCY IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS TIMESHARE. WE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME ESTIMATING THE NUMBER OF DIVISIBLE UNITS BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THAT DATA TRAPPED OUR SYSTEM. HOWEVER WE DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 3000 TIMESHARES A SMALL PORTION OF THOSE PROBABLY A FEW HUNDRED AT MOST ARE DO INCLUDE DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS. WE DID FIND THAT SOME APPROVED LOCKOUTS ARE DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS HAVE CONVERTED BACK TO A WHOLE UNIT. SO AGAIN IN THIS GRAPHIC KIND OF SHOWS WHAT WHAT A LOCKOUT MEANS THE CONDITIONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS REQUIRE THAT HAVE A DOOR AND SOME OTHER THINGS AND THEN AS FAR AS THOSE 3000 THAT WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED THEY WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED ONLY IN TIMESHARE DEVELOPMENTS AGAIN. SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS OR A MOTHER IN LAW SUITES AND SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS IS.

THIS IS DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS PER THE DEFINITION. THE CODE WHICH AGAIN WAS A DWELLING UNIT AND A MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL OR INNER OCCUPANT INTERVAL OCCUPANCY DEVELOPMENT THAT INCLUDES OR MORE LOCK OUT BEDROOMS THAT CAN BE PHYSICALLY CLOSED OR LOCKED OFF FROM REMAINDER OF THE DWELLING. SUCH UNITS MUST HAVE A BATHROOM THE SIZE IS LIMITED TO 75% OF THE GROSS FLOOR AREA OF THE ENTIRE DWELLING.

SO THAT IS THE BY DEFINITION WHAT A DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNIT IS AND WE'RE PROPOSING THAT THAT USE AND THE DEFINITION ARE STRUCK FROM THE CODE . SO THESE CHANGES WILL CREATE NONCONFORMITY AS IT'S NORMAL FOR. YES.

SO WHAT IS THE STATUS OF ANY PROJECT THAT HAS NOT BROKEN GROUND THAT HAS PROPOSED A DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNIT AT THIS POINT? SURE.

I BELIEVE MR. CALTRAIN CAN ANSWER THAT. I'M SORRY MR. SERRANO WAS ASKING A QUESTION WHEN YOU ASKED. WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? THAT'S OKAY. SO WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO EXISTING PROPERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DIVISIBLE. I'M SORRY.

SO NEEDS TO BE ON THE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PROPERTIES THAT ALREADY HAVE BEEN APPROVED BUT WHAT ABOUT PROPERTIES THAT ARE EITHER DEVELOPMENT OR IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT OR IN THE PROCESS OF PERMITTING. HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THEM IF IF THE PROPERTY HAS ALREADY BEEN PERMITTED AND YET JUST HASN'T BUILT YET IF IT'S BEEN PERMITTED.

THIS DOESN'T AFFECT THAT. IF A PROPERTY HAS FILED FOR A PERMIT AT A POINT IN TIME PRIOR TO COUNCIL'S DECLARATION THAT IT INTENDS TO PURSUE THESE AMENDMENTS AND PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT ITS PUBLIC HEARING BEEN ADVERTISED FOR THEN THESE AMENDMENTS WOULD NOT AFFECT THAT. ONCE COUNCIL HAS STATED ITS INTENTION TO PURSUE THESE AMENDMENTS AND THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN ADVERTISED THEN THE ORDINANCE CAN BE APPLIED TO ANYTHING COMES IN AFTER THAT. AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THE PROJECT WAS APPROVED AND PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT STOPPED FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME.

IS THERE A CORRIDOR AT WHICH OR A TIME PERIOD AT WHICH THEY LOSE THAT RIGHT.

[01:10:01]

FOR YEARS THERE'S NO THAT'S ONLY LIKE THREE OR FOUR YEARS WHERE THE POWERS THERE HAVE BEEN STEPPED IN AND EITHER EXTENDED OR NOT. NOT NOT IN CONTRAVENTION TO WHAT THE STATE STATUTE PROVIDES AND I HAD IN FRONT OF ME BUT IT'S A IT'S IT'S A NUMBER OF EXTENSIONS ARE PROVIDED FOR IN THE STATE STATUTES I HAVE IT HERE IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT LISTING IT IS AT THE STATE. YEAH THIS IS THIS IS SIX 2915 AN ARTICLE AND AGAIN MY NAME IS CURTIS COLTRANE AND AGAIN SO 629 1530 THERE'S AN INITIAL TWO YEAR PERIOD THEN THE PROPERTY OWNER APPLY FOR AN EXTENSION FOR AT LEAST FIVE ANNUAL EXTENSIONS AND THEN THE LOCAL GOVERNING BODY CAN ON ITS OWN PROVIDE FURTHER EXTENSIONS. BUT SO THERE IS A PERIOD OF YEARS ONCE IT IS PERMITTED THAT ALLOWS THE PERMIT TO FRANKLY BE NOT ACTED AT ALL.

BUT ONCE IT STARTS THEN ONCE PERMITTED THEN THE STATE ACT TAKES OVER UNTIL YOU THE LIMIT OF TIME THAT THAT PERMIT REMAINS VALID. SO IF ONE'S BEEN PERMITTED YOU KNOW SOME X NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO THAT TAKES OVER AND THAT'S GOVERNS LONG THE OWNER OF THAT PERMIT WOULD HAVE TO TO EXECUTE IT AND IF THEY DO NOT APPROACH THE TOWN THE AT THE POINT AT WHICH IT EXPIRES THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET RE PERMITTED IS THAT WOULD HAPPEN UNDER THE CURRENT L.A. WELL UNDER THE ALAMO AND EXCUSE ME UNDER THE ALAMO AND THIS IF THE OWNER OF THE PERMIT ALLOWS IT TO EXPIRE DOESN'T TAKE THE STEPS AND THE TIME PERIODS PASS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEN YOU START OVER. OKAY.

THEN I GUESS OKAY SO JUST WANTED TO REITERATE THAT THERE BE FROM THE CHANGE FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO MULTIFAMILY SOME PROPERTIES WILL BECOME LEGALLY NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES AND THEN THE REMOVAL OF DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS SO THEN ALL EXISTING DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS WOULD BECOME LEGAL NONCONFORMING USES OKAY FOR THE DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNIT IF THEY WERE TO CONVERT THAT TO WHOLE UNIT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT BACK THEN IF THIS WAS IN PLACE. SO THEN THOSE WOULD IF THEY MADE THE MODIFICATIONS TO REMOVE THAT HALF UNIT THEN THEY WOULD NOT ABLE TO PUT IT BACK. SO HERE'S THE SECTION HERE THAT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT AS IT PERTAINS TO NON-CONFORMITY. SO THE LEGAL NON-CONFORMING USE WHICH HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED DISCONTINUED FOR A PERIOD OF 18 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS SHALL NOT BE REESTABLISHED AGAIN A STRUCTURE THAT WAS FORMERLY A LEGALLY NON-CONFORMING USE WHICH HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED SHALL NOT AGAIN DEVOTED TO ANY USE. AND THEN ALSO THE SUBSTITUTION OF NON-CONFORMITY FOR DEVELOPMENT SECTION IS WHAT WOULD APPLY FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF A NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURE. AND AGAIN THESE ARE THE CRITERIA THAT HAVE TO BE MET ONE THROUGH SIX AND THIS IS WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN APPLICATION CALLED SUBSTITUTION OF NON-CONFORMITY FOR DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO IDENTIFY HOW THEY MEET THE SIX CRITERIA THE SIX CRITERIA INCLUDE THAT IT NOT INCLUDE ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF ENCROACHMENT INTO ANY SETBACK OR BUFFER SO THEY CAN'T MAKE THE NONCONFORMITY ANY GREATER THAT IT WOULD NOT INCREASE THE IMPERVIOUS COVER ON THE SITE OVER THE MAXIMUM FOR THE DISTRICT OR THE EXISTING IMPERVIOUS COVER WHICHEVER IS GREATER. IT WOULD NOT RESULT IN A DENSITY IN EXCESS WHAT'S ALLOWED UNDER THE ORDINANCE OR THE EXISTING DENSITY WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

IT WILL NOT LESSEN THE EXTENT OF NONCONFORMING SITE FEATURES .

THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE WILL NOT HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON PUBLIC SAFETY AND WELFARE AND WILL LESSEN THE EXTENT OF NONCONFORMITY IS RELATED TO ANY NONCONFORMITY NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE. SO THAT IS HOW ANY REDEVELOPMENT OR MODIFICATIONS TO A SITE THAT HAS A A NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE THAT'S

[01:15:01]

YES, I WOULD QUESTION THAT BECAUSE JUST LEAVING THE WORD REDEVELOPMENT IN THERE SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF A LOOPHOLE TO ME. AT WHAT POINT DOES A PROPERTY GET CONSIDERED DEFINED AS A REDEVELOPMENT? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE SUBSTITUTION OF NON CALIFORNIA FOR REDEVELOPMENT IS CURRENT CODE .

IT'S NOT PROPOSED CODE LANGUAGE. SO WHAT'S.

SO MY QUESTION IF SOMEONE PURCHASED A SUBSEQUENT PURCHASED A PIECE OF LAND THEY WANT TO REDEVELOP AND THEY HAVE TO MEET THE CRITERIA. MM HMM.

HAS THE WORD REDEVELOPMENT BEEN DEFINED SO WE KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT CONDITION THE PROPERTY HAS TO BE IN IN A BARE MINIMUM TO MEET A DEFINITION OF REDEVELOPMENT.

THEY LEAVE PIECE OF A CORNER TO FOUNDATION, YOU KNOW. DOES THAT SAY DON'T I'M NOT REALLY REDEVELOPING IS IT BASED ON SQUARE FOOTAGE? IS IT BASED ON VALUE OF THE DEVELOPMENT? HOW HOW DOES THAT GET DEFINED? I'M NOT SURE THAT REDEVELOPMENT IS DEFINED IN OUR ELMO BUT TYPICALLY AND WITH THIS CASE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE A CORNER OF OF THE FORMER STRUCTURE. I MEAN YOU COULD REMOVE THE HOME IN ITS ENTIRETY AND YOU JUST YOU COULD PUT IT BACK IN THE SAME FOOTPRINT LONG AS YOU MEET ALL OF THESE CRITERIA. I MEAN WE WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD MAYBE MOVE IT MORE LANDWARD IF IT WAS A NON-CONFORMING WETLAND BUFFER TO BRING THE SITE MORE INTO CONFORMANCE THAT CERTAINLY WOULD BE MEETING CRITERIA NUMBER SIX TO LESSEN THE EXTENT OF THE NON-CONFORMING. SO IT COULD BE THAT THEY'RE REDEVELOPING THEIR SITE BY ADDING YOU KNOW SOME ACCESSORY LIKE A PATIO OR A DECK OR THEY JUST WOULD NEED TO GO THROUGH PROCESS. THEY CAN ADD ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT.

THE SITE JUST HAVE TO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS. SO FOR THE EXAMPLE YOU JUST GAVE, IF THEY HAVE EXISTING STRUCTURES THEY WANT TO PUT A PATIO ON YOU WOULD CONSIDER THAT REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY CORRECT? THANK YOU.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A GOOD OF WHAT THE AMENDMENTS SAY AND THAT WE'VE ADDRESSED ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE RAISED BY THE PLANNING.

IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS WE'LL GO THROUGH A DISCUSSION PERIOD HERE RIGHT AFTER AFTER WE'VE GOT QUESTIONS ANSWERED IF THERE ARE ANY. YES. YEAH.

WITH THE NEW SETBACKS REDUCE THE PROPERTIES. THAT'S TO REDUCE THE PROPERTY SIZE. DO YOU THINK THAT WILL DIMINISH THE VALUE THE PROPERTIES IN HISTORICAL NEIGHBORHOODS? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THOSE THAT HAVE THE INCREASED SETBACK IN BUFFERS BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE CASES THE SETBACKS AND BUFFERS REMAIN THE SAME OR ARE REDUCED SO THE THE SIDE SETBACKS OR THE ADJACENT USE SETBACKS ARE EITHER THE SAME OR REDUCED. AND I GUESS TO EXPLAIN THAT FURTHER SO WE HAVE USE BASED SETBACKS AND BUFFERS. SO WHAT'S NEXT DOOR TO IMPACTS ? WHAT SETBACKS AND BUFFERS APPLY TO YOUR PROPERTY? SO RIGHT NOW AGAIN IN THIS CHANGE IS ONLY FOR TWO HOMES ON ONE PARCEL GOING FROM WHAT'S CONSIDERED SINGLE FAMILY TO MULTI-FAMILY. OKAY IN THE ADJACENT STREET SETBACKS AND BUFFERS THERE'S NO CHANGE IN THE ADJACENT IF YOU'RE ADJACENT TO A SINGLE FAMILY OR OTHER RESIDENTIAL THERE'S NO CHANGE IF YOU'RE ADJACENT TO COMMERCIAL THEN YOUR SETBACK IS REDUCED AND YOUR BUFFER IS THE SAME IF. YOU'RE ADJACENT TO INDUSTRIAL, YOUR SETBACK IS REDUCED AND YOUR BUFFERS REDUCED. THE CHANGES WHERE YOUR SETBACK OR BUFFER IS COULD BE INCREASED IS ONLY IF YOU'RE ADJACENT TO A TITLE OR FRONTRUNNER WETLAND AND THE THE NUMBER OF PROPERTIES THAT WE'RE ESTIMATING THAT COULD BE IMPACTED IS TEN IS WHAT WE'RE ESTIMATING. OKAY. AND THAT'S COULD WE HAVEN'T DONE A SITE ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ALL ARE OR WOULD BECOME NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES. SO IF MY PROPERTY IS NESTED COMMERCIAL IT WILL BE REDUCED? YES. SO THAT WOULD KIND OF DIMINISHED EVALUATIVE THAT YOUR SETBACK WOULD BE REDUCED? YEAH MY SETBACK WOULD BE REDUCED.

SO HOW WOULD THAT REDUCE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE HOW THAT WOULD REDUCE THE VALUE.

OH THE SETBACK WOULD BE REDUCED IF IT'S NEXT TO COMMERCIAL, RIGHT.

YES. OKAY. NOW YOU'RE GOOD.

[01:20:01]

OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY THEN WHAT WE WOULD DO NOW IS WE PUT THE MOTION UP FIRST OR WE HAVE THE DISCUSSION FIRST AND THEN THE MOTION. YOU CAN DO IT EITHER WAY.

MOTION IS FIRST. OKAY. PUT THE MOTION UP FIRST.

CURTIS SPOKE FOR YOU. WHAT WAS THAT? CURTIS SIR? PUT UP. WAS THAT A QUESTION? NO.

THERE IT IS. OKAY. OKAY.

SO WE SEE THE RECOMMENDATION UP THERE. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A MOTION AT THIS POINT BUT TO GIVE YOU A BASIS FOR DISCUSSION AS WE GO FORWARD.

AND I WANT TO GIVE EACH COMMISSIONER A CHANCE TO BOTH DISCUSS WHAT THEY'VE HEARD AND ASK ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE AND WE'LL START WITH MR. DE NCO.

I THINK WE'VE HEARD SOME VERY GOOD DISCUSSION TODAY AND IT'S BECOME VERY CLEAR AS I'VE HEARD A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION THAT THINGS WERE A LOT CLEANER AND AND SMOOTHER PRIOR TO THE 2014 AMENDMENT ALAMO AMENDMENT THAT SEEMED TO HAVE INCREASED THE DEBT THE DENSITY IN OUR COMMUNITY. I WOULD VENTURE SAY I'M CONFIDENT TO SAY THAT MOST OF US WOULD LIKE TO SEE NO INCREASE IN DEVELOPMENT OR DENSITY OUR ON OUR ON OUR ISLAND. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I CERTAINLY LIKE THE WAY THIS RECOMMENDATION READS. OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

MR.. YEAH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MITZI.

THAT WAS VERY COMPREHENSIVE AND THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PUBLIC COMMENTS VERY IMPORTANT AND AND BENEFICIAL FOR US. I KNEW THIS IS IS THAT MR. CHAIRMAN PERHAPS I WASN'T CLEAR YOU DO NEED TO HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE OR I NEED TO HAVE IT BEFORE THE DISCUSSION.

YES, I'M NEW AT THIS. THANKS, CURTIS. OKAY, SO THE MOTION SHALL I READ THE MOTION FOR THE COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDS THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW THE PROPOSED ALAMO AMENDMENTS GRETZKY'S DEFINITION OF SINGLE FAMILY COMMA MULTIFAMILY SEMICOLON ELIMINATION OF DIVISIBLE DWELLING UNITS AND FORWARD THAT RECOMMENDATION TO TOWN COUNCIL SO MOVED IS THERE A SECOND CIRCUIT? OKAY.

OKAY NOW WE'LL PROCEED THE DISCUSSION IS THE. IS THERE ANYTHING RICK? YOU'RE STILL GOOD? NO, SIR. OKAY.

I THINK IT'S A MATTER OF TRANSPARENCY. IF SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING DOESN'T MEAN SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, YOU DON'T HAVE TRANSPARENCY AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN TO THAT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WOULD PLAN AS A IS A TOWN IF IF SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS COULD COULD BE MORE THAN THAT. HOW WOULD YOU PLAN THE TRAFFIC? HOW WOULD YOU PLAN FOR HOW WOULD YOU PLAN? SO TO ME IN ITS IT'S A TRANSPARENCY ISSUE IT'S RIGHT THING IT'S IT'S OBVIOUS THAT IN AND IT PUTS US IN A LINE WITH WITH OTHER PLANNING COMMISSIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OBVIOUSLY BUT IT'S A PRIORITY FOR THE TOWN TO TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS. IT'S ONE OF OUR PRIME PRIORITIES THIS THE FAMILY COMPOUNDS OF SUBDIVISIONS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS PROPOSED CHANGE SO I'M I'M HAPPY WITH IT. OKAY.

MR. CAMPBELL TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH HERE. I CAN SEE MY SENIOR STAFF DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON THIS PRESENTATION HERE. I MEAN WE'RE GETTING A LOT MORE CLEAR WAS DEFINITELY GOING ON BUT I'M DEFINITELY A LITTLE BIT MORE I COULD THINK ABOUT THAN I'M MR. BAILEY THANK YOU REITERATE WHAT YOU SAID. THANK YOU MISSY AND HER STAFF FOR THE EXPLANATION IT'S FAIRLY BLACK AND WHITE ON THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I THINK IT'S FAIRLY IMPACTFUL OF OUR COMMUNITY I'VE BEEN HERE TEN YEARS I LOVE OUR COMMUNITY I'VE SEEN THE CHANGES OVER THE YEARS AND I THINK IT'S AMAZING THAT 50 IF NOT MORE THAN 50% OF THE ATTENDEES ACTUALLY SPOKE. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU, MR. LOBO.

YEAH, I AGREE WITH WHAT'S BEING SAID. I ADD THAT, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY BEING A NEW PERSON ON THE COMMISSION THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE PUT INTO PLACE IN THE PAST THAT HOPEFULLY YOU HOPE THEY WERE PUT IN PLACE WITH GOOD FAITH TO

[01:25:03]

WE FOUND THE PROBLEM. I THINK AND THE THE FOUNTAIN HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB IN EXPLAINING THAT TO US IN THE PRESENTATION TODAY AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THOSE NON-CONFORMITY IF SOMEONE NEEDS TO YOU KNOW IN SPIRIT OF PRESERVING THEIR RESIDENCE IF THERE'S A DISASTER THEY CAN CONTINUE YOU KNOW THEY CAN REBUILD WITHOUT BEING AT RISK SO HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS AND I THINK THE PASSION OF THE ROOM IS PRETTY CLEAR AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

I WOULD HAVE LITTLE TO ADD EXCEPT ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS AT THE LAST MEETING WAS TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTOOD THE IMPACT OF THE NATIVE ISLANDER COMMUNITY AND I THINK YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF EXPLAINING THAT AS A DE MINIMIS IMPACT AND CERTAINLY LOTS OF WAYS TO WORK WORK THROUGH A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF PROPERTIES. I KNOW WE WERE VERY CONCERNED WITH THAT AND I THINK YOU'VE STRUCK THE RIGHT BALANCE STAFF TOO TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION AT LEAST AT LEAST TO MY SATISFACTION ANY. FURTHER DISCUSSION.

OKAY. IT'S BEEN MOVED, SECONDED AND DISCUSSED ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND MR. JAMES. WE'RE GOING TO THE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

THAT'S RIGHT. I'M TRYING FOLKS. OKAY.

ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, MA'AM. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION.

SO IF YOU WANT TO JUST IF YOU WILL VOTE TO RECOMMEND TO MOVE THIS FORWARD TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE TOWN COUNCIL I WAS LOOKING AT THE TIME CHART INCORPORATE ACTUALLY PUTTING THIS PLAN IN MOTION AND THE ALAMO CHANGES AREN'T GOING TO HAPPEN FOR ANOTHER FULL YEAR SO GOING TO HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF 2024 HOW DO WE SOLVE FOR THAT? SO I KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE ADDRESSING THE LARGER SCALE PROBLEM.

IT HAPPENS VERY QUICKLY HERE. THE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS VERY QUICKLY.

YES, THANK YOU. IS STAFF IS THERE ANSWER TO THAT IN TERMS OF TIMING, DO ANSWER THAT THE SUMMARY OF SETBACKS AND BUFFERS FROM SINGLE TO MULTI SAYS THERE'S NO CHANGES OR THEY REDUCE OTHER THAN WATER PROXIMITY I BELIEVE IS THIS ACCURATE OR IS THERE MORE TO THIS I'M JUST CONFUSED ABOUT THIS THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL THING I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT DO WE REALLY THINK THAT THERE'S NO CHANGES TO GOING FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO MULTIFAMILY CAN WE CAN COUNT ON THAT. I THINK THERE MAY BE OTHER DOCUMENTS OR ATTACHMENTS THAT WE'RE NOT SEEN AS POSSIBLE. CAN YOU HELP US STEP IF I MAY I CAN RESPOND. SHE SAID SHE WILL RESPOND AFTER ALL THE COMMENTS ARE DONE.

I'M SORRY. OKAY. I DIDN'T HEAR THAT.

WHAT WHAT THE POINT HERE IS EVERYBODY TO MAKE COMMENTS THEY DON'T GET TO ASK QUESTIONS.

THEY ASK THE QUESTIONS AND THEN WHEN WE FINISH WILL TALK TO YOU WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

OKAY. AND I GUESS THE OTHER QUESTION I MIGHT HAVE IS ARE ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THESE NEW WILL ARE THESE NEW NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES?

[01:30:07]

THIS OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT PLEASE YEAH THIS IS RELATED TO THAT THAT POINT WHICH IS THE SETBACKS WOULD NOT CHANGE THEY SAY BUT IF YOU IF YOU WANT TO GET A VARIANCE YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE BCA AND SINGLE FAMILY CAN GET A VARIANCE OF DOWN TO FEET BUT MULTIFAMILY NOW YOU HAVE TWO UNITS YOU'RE CONSIDERED MULTIFAMILY YOU'RE VARIANCE WOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED FOR 10% SO IT'S IT'S ADDING AN EFFECT NET 13 FEET. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SIR. YVONNE STEPHENS FOR THE RECORD, THE CHAIRMAN THE GULF OF THAILAND CULTURAL PRESERVATION TASK FORCE CONGRATULATION OUR NEW COMMISSIONERS AND ALSO WANT TO COMMEND STAFF FOR TRYING TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF THESE DEFINITIONS AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT IT'S KIND OF CLEAR TO EVERYONE.

BUT I DID WANT TO POINT OUT A COUPLE THINGS ABOUT SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT I HEARD EARLIER ON WHAT HAPPENED IN 2010. 2014 IN FACT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BENEFIT THE NATIVE ISLAND COMMUNITY. OUR OUR TASK FORCE WAS NOT CREATED UNTIL AFTER AND ALSO AS FAR AS THE COMMENTS WHAT PEOPLE WANT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEIR RESIDENCE AND AND ALL THOSE GOOD THINGS I THINK WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING IT'S HARD TO SAY NO DEVELOPMENT BUT WE DO WANT TO HAVE SMART DEVELOPMENT.

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

NO ONE'S ASKING YOU TO PUT A STOP ON THAT WITHIN REASON BUT MULTIPLE DWELLING HOMES SEEMS TO BE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM ON THIS ISLAND AND MORATORIUM IS NOT GOING TO HURT ANYBODY EXCEPT HELP THIS ONE.
