UH, AND ONCE WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SOME FORM OF STRATEGY OUTLINE WITH THE PUBLIC AND ALL RELEVANT PARTIES I THINK IT'D BE A VERY USEFUL WELL I WOULD URGE THAT TO THAT AND THERE ARE A FEW I ALSO WANTED TO JUST MAKE A REMARK AND THAT IS THAT ALLIANZ GOES FAR BEYOND WHAT WE ARE DOING. I THINK WE TO ON A RELATED ISSUES AND HOW THE TOWN DEALS WITH IT ALL IT'S ALL IT'S A PROCESS BUT I THINK THAT THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO THE ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT UH MY WOULD BE RESILIENCE IS BEING ABLE TO BOUNCE BACK FROM WEATHER EVENTS TO OTHER EVENTS AND THAT MEANS THAT IT DOVETAILS INTO WORKFORCE HOUSING. YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE AS A AS A SORT OF ONE INDUSTRY ISLAND I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET ON YOUR FEET AGAIN THAT THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS THAT COME INTO PLAY LIKE MY WORKFORCE SO THAT YOU CAN STEP FOUR STEPS WHICH IS LOOKING AT ENERGY HOW HOW WELL ARE WE SITUATED WITH ENERGY ARE WE LOOKING AT OTHER SOURCES OF ENERGY SOLAR AND TIDAL ENERGY WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH WHAT OUR RESOURCES ARE REALLY LOOKING OUR WHAT ARE RESOURCES FROM THE NORTH END TO THE FRONT OF ALL A UH PROCESS BECAUSE WE FIRST WE'RE RUNNING OUT GREYWATER IF YOU GO TO BERMUDA YOU'LL SEE THAT ALL THE HOUSES HAVE WATER RETENTION OR OTHER THAN DRINKING WATER AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT LONG TERM WOULD BE GOOD UM APPRECIATE THAT AND THAT I OVERLOOKED THE ROLL CALL YOU CAN LOOK US IF YOU NEED US TO SPEAK THIS I'LL DO IT FOR THE RECORD.

[6A. Discussion and Presentation of the Short-Term Rental Program- Phase 1]
TO A LATER DATE. THANK YOU. FIRST ITEM OF BUSINESS THE DISCUSSION AND PRESENTATION OF THE SHORT TERM RENTAL PROGRAM PHASE ONE WELCOME MR. CHAIR. IF WE COULD I THINK WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE HISTORY IF WE COULD JUMP TO THE NITTY GRITTY ,I THINK THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO IT IF THAT'S OKAY WITH THE REST OF THE COMMITTEE HEARD IT BEFORE. SO YES, IN TERMS OF THE PROGRAM[00:05:01]
BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT NITTY GRITTY CONTAINS WITHIN FOR INFORMATION AND SO SO IF AT THE END THERE ARE QUESTIONS OR WE CAN GO THROUGH HERE'S A SLIDES AND SO THAT WE CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION YEAH I WAS THE FIRST SLIDE IS KEY DATES AND I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO GO THROUGH ALL THOSE AGAIN THANKS I THINK I CAN HELP MORE WITH OUR VENDOR COUPLE WITH THEY'VE IDENTIFIED AT THIS POINT OF OF THAT THIS VERY WHY THERE'S AN IMPORTANT DETAIL THAT OUR 75% OF THE LISTINGS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED THE I OVER 5000 ON AND NIGHT ACTUALLY SINCE THOUSAND AND IS SINCE AS WE ALL 40,000 THAT PROCESS HAS ONLY THAT TAKES ABOUT ONE YEAR NORMALLY THAT'S ABOUT WHAT THEY PROCESS IN A YEAR AND THE BUSINESS LICENSE DEPARTMENT'S BEEN WORKING OVERTIME AND HAS COMPLETED THAT SINCE JANUARY TO KEEP WITH THE INFLUX OF PEOPLE THE AVERAGE DAILY RATE RENTAL RATE OF AN SDR AT THIS POINT IS $422.50.THAT AVERAGE DOES CHANGE QUITE FRANKLY THE HOUR SO YOU COULD LOOK AGAIN TO 5 MINUTES AND THE NUMBER WILL CHANGE THE SAME THING WITH THE HOTEL RATE. IT DOES CHANGE BY DAY ON THE SDR FOUR ON AND $22 THAT MIGHT BE A ONE BEDROOM CONDOMINIUM AND A SIX BEDROOM FOR THE AVERAGE THE AVERAGE ALL THE WAY AND SO THEY'RE ALL LUMPED TOGETHER.
IS THERE A RANGE THAT WE CAN GET SO THAT WE I UNDERSTAND AT THE AVERAGE BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHAT THE HIGH AT THE HIGH END OF THAT IS NO PROBLEM VERSUS IN THE LOW END QUITE HONESTLY BEFORE YOU GO AWAY FROM THIS SLIDE EXPLAINED 14,000 LISTINGS AND SIX ONLY 6000 IDENTIFIED BACK UP UNLESS WHERE'S THE DIFFERENTIAL OKAY SO THEY TO FIRST THEY HAVE TO COMB ALL ADS THAT ARE IN THIS AREA BUT THEN THEY HAVE TO DETERMINE WHERE LOCATED.
ONCE THEY DETERMINE WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED THEY NOW SAY THAT THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SDR THEN IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THEIR REVIEW PROCESS TO SEE IF THE AD QUANTITATIVELY IN LATITUDE LA ACTUALLY MATCHES TO THAT ADDRESS. SO THIS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF WHAT THEY'VE IDENTIFIED. SO I KNOW IT'S KIND OF CLEAR I DON'T FOLLOW IN OTHER WORDS SO THEY MAY HAVE 14,000 ACTIVE LISTINGS BUT SO FAR THEY'VE ONLY IDENTIFIED A TOTAL OF ALMOST 9000 THAT THEY SAY FOR SURE OR RENTING IN THIS IN THIS TIME PERIOD SOME OF THOSE LISTINGS FOR SALE POSSIBLY. OH, ABSOLUTELY NOT EXPLAINS OH ABSOLUTELY.
AS A MATTER OF FACT I JUST SINCE SINCE THIS STARTED WE HAVE CLOSED OPENED OVER 700 PERMITS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR A PERMIT AND THEN HAVE ALREADY SOLD IT OR TAKEN IT OFF THE MARKET OR CHANGED IT TO LONG TERM. SO AND THAT'S JUST BASED ON THE FIRST BATCH OF LETTERS THAT WE SENT OUT AND THE SECOND BATCH SO WE'RE STILL CLEANING UP FROM THAT AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN SENT OUT NOW THE NEXT 2000 LETTERS IS NO CRITICISM INTENDED AT ALL. I'M JUST TRYING TO YOU ALL KNOW ABSOLUTELY THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR. IS THERE DATA TRACKING TERMS OF THOSE OPENING CLOSINGS SO THAT WE KNOW WHICH OF THOSE CATEGORIES EACH MIGHT FALL INTO, WHETHER IT WAS A RESALE AND WE'RE WAITING FOR A NEW OWNER ON YEAH YEAH I CAN PULL THAT FOR YOU YEAH.
AND IN PARTICULAR WELL ALL OF THOSE THAT YOU MENTIONED THOSE THAT HAVE CONVERTED FROM SHORT TERM TO LONG TERM IF THEY GIVE ARE GIVING US THAT INFORMATION I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT THAT SHOW ON YOUR RECORD. OH, I'M SORRY. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS WILL HELP
[00:10:05]
BUT I'M ASK THE QUESTION BARB'S POWER USER AND EXPERT ON THOSE BUT THE 14,000 548 IT MIGHT BE ONE UNIT THAT HAS MULTIPLE LISTING RIGHT AND SO IF GOT IT I'D SAY YOU'VE HAD A THOUSAND UNITS AND THEY'RE ALL LISTED ON THREE DIFFERENT SERVICES OF BE 3000 ACTIVE LISTING LISTINGS EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBER IS MUCH SMALLER. SO THAT'S THAT WHOLE MADE IT CLEAR IT FAR GONE AND SO IF YOU TAKE 14,548 AND THAT'S 75% ON THE NEXT LINE IS IS THERE STILL WORKING ON THAT OTHER 25%? SO THAT'S STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS, CORRECT? OKAY AND OF THE SIX ALMOST 6000 SHORT TERM RENTALS IDENTIFIED AND THE PERMITS THAT ARE RECEIVED THOSE ARE JUST FURTHER BREAKDOWNS OF BIGGER NUMBER. CORRECT.SO WE'RE JUST DRILLING IT DOWN HERE BUT NOW WE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT INVENTORY DATA THAT WE'VE COLLECTED JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF AN IDEA OF HERMITAGE NOW THIS IS ONLY THE ONES THAT ARE PERMITTED OF COURSE APPROXIMATELY 1600 ARE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THE REST ARE VILLAS 56% OF THE VILLAS ARE TWO BEDROOM UNITS AVERAGE OCCUPANCY IS 6.1 MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY FOR A TWO BEDROOM VILLA WE'VE ISSUED APPROXIMATELY 350 PERMITS TWO HOMES THAT HAVE MORE THAN FIVE BEDROOMS AND OF COURSE AVERAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME THAT IS PERMITTED IS A LITTLE OVER 3000 SQUARE FEET AVERAGE NUMBER OF DESIGNATED PARKING SPOTS AND THAT INCLUDES GARAGE PARKING IS 4.25 FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THIS SLIDE BEGS FOR MORE ANALYSIS AND MORE DATA AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT KIND OF INFORMATION AND THAT MUCH ON THE SURFACE QUITE FRANKLY I THINK A BIT ABOUT WHAT IS AVAILABLE. I THINK KEY FOR US TO BE INVOLVED IN THE TALKS FOR THE NEXT YEAR SO THAT WE CAN PREP THE APPLICATION PROCESS SO THAT THE APPLICATION INCLUDES THE INFORMATION YOU WANT BECAUSE ONCE WE GET IT FROM THE HOMEOWNER WE CAN THEN PRESENT IT TO YOU AND GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE IF OF APPROXIMATELY WHAT IS THAT 25% OR SOMETHING OR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND I THINK IT'S 28% BUT IN ANY CASE IT'S IF WE BEGIN TO LOCATE ISSUES OF ABUSE IN SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT'S ONE POLICY DIRECTION IF WE HAVE 6.1 PERSON TO PEOPLE IN A TWO BEDROOM VILLA AND THAT'S OVERCROWDED THAT'S ANOTHER DIRECTION SO I JUST THINK THAT THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE DRILLED DOWN BEYOND WHERE WE ARE. THANK YOU.
AND JUST IN QUESTION ALONG ALONG THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AND IS A QUESTION FOR ME IS I SEE THAT 6.1 IS THE AVERAGE MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY FOR A TWO BEDROOM VILLA BUT OFTEN TIMES KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT SLEEPING IN VILLAS I MEAN IN BEDROOMS PER SE THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE PLACES THAT PEOPLE HAVE CREATED SLEEPING SPACE AND IS THAT BEING IDENTIFIED OR PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS WHEN WE ASK HOW MANY THERE ARE IN THE PROPERTY WE DRILL IT DOWN AND ESTIMATE THAT INCLUDES ALL FOUR BEDS AND IF SO HOW MANY.
SO WE DO HAVE TO DRILL DOWN TO TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW MANY BEDS THEY'RE KEEPING IN THE PROPERTY . SO THERE IS THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE AS WELL AS IN OTHER WORDS SO THAT YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF HOW THEY BREAK IT DOWN AND WHAT THEY CONSIDER SLEEPING. AND WE'VE SEEN SOME PLACES WHERE WE HAVE A FLEX WHERE THERE MIGHT BE AS MANY AS FOUR BUNK BEDS SET UP. IS THAT TYPE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED NOT THE BUNK BEDS WHICH IS BASICALLY IN OTHER WORDS HOW MANY BEDROOMS AND I THINK WE'RE A LOT IF WE DON'T ASK ABOUT THOSE TYPES OF SITUATIONS AND CAN BE LIKE I SAID, IT'S JUST A CHANGE ON THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND THEN WE CAN PULL ALL THAT DATA ONCE WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. RIGHT. THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT LOOKING FOR AND THAT WE GET INFORMATION ON OUT OF THE PROCESS ALSO IS IF I COULD JUST ADD FROM FIRE AND RESCUE PART OF THE INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE TO A FIRM AND ATTEST TO IS THAT THEY ARE KEEPING OPEN ESCAPE ROUTES THAT THEY'RE NOT PUTTING BEDS IN FRONT OF WINDOWS AND SO FORTH BUT THAT'S JUST A PORTION OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
BUT I JUST THOUGHT I'D ADD THAT THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AFFIRM THAT THEY ARE DOING SUCH PRACTICES I'M SORRY WE'RE ON THAT SLIDE AND PICKING UP ON
[00:15:02]
THE FIRE AND RESCUE COMMENT. ARE WE COLLECTING DATA ON SMOKE DETECTORS THAT THEY HAVE IN THESE OCCUPANCY OR THEY'RE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN THE SMOKE DETECTORS? SO PART OF THE APPLICATION IS AGAIN THEY HAVE TO AFFIRM THAT THEY DO HAVE THE REQUIRED SMOKE DETECTORS, FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND GAS AND AND ARE WE LOOKING TO DO WE NOW OR ARE WE LOOKING TO HAVING FIRE AND RESCUE GO AND MAKE INSPECTIONS THIS FROM TIME TO TIME WE HAVE THE STAFF THAT WE WOULD BE REQUIRED IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 9000 UNITS AT THIS TIME WE'RE NOT IF YOU HAVE FIRE AND RESCUE GOES OUT ASSISTS ANY OWNERS WHO ARE WHERE THE PLACE AND THINGS LIKE THAT AT THIS TIME YEAH I'M THINKING OF NOT WHERE YOU TRY TO DO ALL 7000 OR HOWEVER MANY PERMITS YOU HAVE BUT SOME SORT OF SYSTEM OF RANDOMLY INSPECTING AREAS ESPECIALLY THEY SHOW A HIGH OCCUPANCY BECAUSE AS WE KNOW THERE WAS A TRAGEDY THE NORTH FOREST BEACH AREA RIGHT WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR SO AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER OR NOT THERE WERE SMOKE DETECTORS THERE AND ESCAPE ROUTES BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER OCCUPANCY UNITS, I THINK THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. AND PICKING UP ON COUNCILMEMBER BECKER'S INQUIRY ABOUT OCCUPANCY AND ROOMS OTHER BEDROOMS THAT ARE USED FOR OCCUPANCY, I THINK IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL US TO HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OCCUPANCY PER ROOM NOT PER BEDROOM SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO DRILL DOWN ON OF THAT DATA WHERE AND JUST LOOKING AT THE AVERAGE 6.1 AVERAGE MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY FOR TWO BEDROOM VILLAS IF YOU HAVE A TWO BEDROOM VILLA THEN TYPICALLY IT WOULD BE ONE BED PER ROOM PER BEDROOM BUT SOME OF BEDROOMS HAVE BUNK BEDS OR EVEN TWO DOUBLE BED AND SO IF YOU HAVE A PULL SOFA IN THE LIVING AREA WHICH USED TO BE THE COMMON DINING THEN THAT WOULD GO TO THE SIX YOU KNOW, TWO PER BEDROOM PLUS THAT FLAT SOFA BUT 6.1 SOMEHOW WE GET THE 8.1. SO THERE'S OTHER CREATIVE WAYS IF YOU WILL OCCUPANCY AND I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DATA ON PER ROOM.I THINK THESE COMMENTS POINT TO PHASE TWO WE ARE GOING TO CRAFTING YOUR REPORT OF PHASE ONE AND JUST TO MAKE SURE I'M SPECIFIC WHEN I'VE ASKED I SEE THE AVERAGE AND I WANT TO SEE THE RANGE THE 4.25 WITH REGARD TO DESIGNATED SPOTS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT RANGE WE HAVE 350 WITH THESE STATISTICS OF MORE THAN FIVE BEDROOMS AND I WONDER WHERE WHERE THAT LIES.
AND SO I THINK THAT THAT SPECIFIC DATA WILL HELP INFORM INFORMATION INFORMATION ON OTHER ASPECTS OF THIS SLIDE SO THAT'S YEAH THAT'S EASY TO PULL FOR YOU WE CAN SEPARATE ACTUALLY WE CAN GIVE YOU HOW MANY ARE GARAGE HOW MANY ARE PARKING PER BEDROOM PER SQUARE AND ALL THAT I CAN I CAN PULL THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY THANK YOU IF I CAN JUMP IN AS WELL WE'LL HANDLE ALL RIGHT AND WE WILL WE'RE TAKING REALLY GOOD NOTES ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE BASED ON THE WAY THE SOFTWARE WORKS THEY TRACK THE LISTINGS TO THE PUBLISH OCCUPANCY OR WE'LL DISSECT IT EVERY WHICH WAY. THIS IS SORT OF THE FIRST REAL DATA SET THAT WE'VE HAD AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE ENERGY TO DRIVE TO DRILL DEEPER. I, I CAN'T WAIT RIGHT? I WANT TO GET DOWN AND REALLY UNDERSTAND THE LOCATION AND COMPOSITION AND IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND ALL THAT. SO WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT IF WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY CURRENTLY BASED ON THE OS SET UP FOR DELIVERY OF THAT INFORMATION AS REQUESTED, DO THINK A LOT OF THIS WILL LEAD TO A POLICY DISCUSSION OR A PHASE TWO AND HOW WE ADDRESS SHORT TERM RENTALS GOING FORWARD? BUT WHAT A BLESSING TO HAVE SOME DATA TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO REACT TO THAT. WE'VE NOW QUANTIFIED AND CAN DRILL DOWN WITH SOME DETAIL ON THE CHARACTERISTICS I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE NOT ONLY ON LOCATION BUT, COMPOSITION AND HOW THEY'RE BEING USED, WHAT THE RENTAL RATES ARE PARKING, ALL OF THAT.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT TO GET THIS THIS FAR AND WE GET YOU THE INFORMATION YOU NEED OUR CAPABILITIES AND THEN HAVE THAT POLICY DISCUSSION AND THOSE OTHER KEY ELEMENTS THAT WE NEED TO THANK YOU. JOHN, APPRECIATE. THANK YOU.
BARBARA, HOW MANY SLIDES DO YOU WANT TO GET RIGHT TO THE DASHBOARD IF WANT OKAY.
YEAH. IF I CAN JUST BACK UP TO SEAN'S COMMENT FOR 1/2.
WE'VE GOTTEN TO WHERE WE ARE IN. YES.
THANK YOU FOR THIS PRELIMINARY DATA. IT IS INFORMATIVE AND SEEING WHERE WE NEED TO DRILL DOWN IS GREAT. WHAT IS EXPECTED TIMELINE BEFORE THAT SORT OF DATA WOULD BE AVAILABLE? ANY DEPENDING WELL IF IT'S
[00:20:07]
SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE CAPABILITY TO DO ALREADY WHICH ALREADY FUELED A COUPLE OF THE ITEMS I COULD HAVE DONE FOR TODAY HAD I KNOWN YOU WANTED THAT KIND OF INFORMATION.YEAH. AND A COUPLE OF ITEMS LIKE SEAN SAID WE'LL HAVE TO ADD FOR THE NEXT PHASE SO THAT WE'RE PREPARED AND GET THAT INFORMATION FROM THE OWNER DIRECTLY. THEY'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A TIMELINE SO IF THERE'S SOME ESTIMATE AT SOME POINT SOMEONE CAN SEND THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE IT TO YOU NOW JUST TO GIVE YOU STUFF I CAN GET FOR YOU VERY QUICKLY, ONE MORE THING ON THIS SLIDE AND THAT IS THE AVERAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME. WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE MCMANSIONS AROUND HERE AND I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE DATA MAYBE RANGES LIKE IN THE RANGE OF I DON'T KNOW 1500 TO 2000 SQUARE FEET 20 OR 2500 SQUARE FEET ETC..
THE NUMBERS IN EACH OF THOSE RANGES I THINK WOULD BE IN DRIVING POLICY AND I WANT TO PUT IT A BIT A A TAB ON THE LOCATION COMMENT FROM. MR. COLEMAN THANK YOU FOR THAT WHEN YOU COME TO THE HEAT MAP SO COMPLAINTS AS OF RIGHT NOW WE'VE HAD 51 COMPLAINTS BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU GET TO I SHOW YOU THE DASHBOARD THAT NUMBERS ARE NOT GOING TO REFLECT THAT BECAUSE 51 COMPLAINTS BUT NOT ALL OF THEM WERE RELATED TO SHORT TERM RENTAL OR RELATED TO A SHORT TERM RENTAL. I MEAN ONE PERSON COMPLAINED BECAUSE THEIR NEIGHBOR CUT DOWN THE AZALEAS SO HAD 51 OVERALL COMPLAINTS.
BUT OF THOSE COMPLAINTS YOU HAVE THE BREAKDOWN ON THE ACTUAL TYPES OF COMPLAINTS WE DID HAVE SOME IS ILLEGAL RENTALS WHERE SOMEBODY FELT THAT SOMEBODY NEXT DOOR WAS OPERATING AN ILLEGAL RENTAL I WANT TO TRY TO GET TO THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE PIECE YOU WANT. SEE I WANT TO STOP AT THIS TOMORROW BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT IS TO ME 51 TOTAL COMPLAINTS. I HEAR THE THE EXPLANATION SOME OF THEM MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE RELATED TO SHORT TERM RENTALS. DOES THIS NUMBER INCLUDE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE GOING THROUGH GATED COMMUNITIES SECURITY RATHER THAN RIGHT.
SO THAT'S AN IMPORTANT NUMBER. YES. NEEDS TO BE RECEIVED AND INCLUDED DOES LIST ALSO CAPTURE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE GOING DIRECTLY TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT RATHER THAN THROUGH GO WELLS? I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THAT INFORMATION. LET BOB, SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE FURTHER. OKAY. MAYBE THOSE ARE IMPORTANT NUMBERS TO INCLUDE THAT GIVES US THE BIG PICTURE AND NOT JUST A SMALL SNAPSHOT AND HAVING HAD MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH GO ABUSE I'M NOT SURE THAT MY COMPLAINT AFTER FIVE DAYS OF BEING UP ALL NIGHT WERE CAPTURED HERE BECAUSE OF THE POOR RESPONSE THREW UP I WAS SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT DID A FINE JOB HAVING SAID THAT HOW WHEN I AND I'LL USE MY OWN EXAMPLES ALWAYS THE BEST HOW TO FIVE DAYS MAKE A COMPLAINT MY FIRST CALL WAS TO GO POST IT TOOK ME 5 MINUTES LOTS OF FRUSTRATION TRYING TO FIND THE NUMBER AND THEN WITH NO SUCCESS THERE OF ANY SORT MOVING ON TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND THEN TAKING THE TIME AFTER THAT NOW FULLY AWAKE AT 520 IN THE MORNING TO FIND THE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR US TO LODGE THE COMPLAINT TO WHICH CODE OUR STAFF DID A PHENOMENAL JOB BUT NO RESPONSE FROM US DIRECTLY.
AND SO MY QUESTION IS THAT'S MY EXPERIENCE THAT'S HOW IT'S WORKED OUT THE TIME FRAME IT TOOK ME TO FIND THE NUMBER AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR THE ORGANIZATION THAT WE'RE PAYING MONEY TO WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE DIRECTLY THIS FORCE SO THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE COMPREHENSIVE PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO FIND IT. I ANY ADDRESS THAT YOU'VE GOT SINCE YOUR LAST MEETING WHEN YOU MENTIONED IT MET WITH COMMUNICATIONS WE MET WITH RENEE THE WEBSITE PUTTING IT MAKING IT MORE ACCESSIBLE SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE IN TERMS OF THAT I CAN DO AFTER WORKING WITH THEM AND PUTTING THEN THEY PUT IT IN A SPOT THAT'S PRETTY ACCESSIBLE. SO MY SUGGESTION IS BEYOND THE WEBSITE IF THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED AND FIXED I THINK WHEN YOU PULL UP THE TOWN'S WEBSITE IT NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIABLE RIGHT THERE AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HUNT ANYWHERE FOR IT.
SO THERE SHOULD BE A HOTLINE NUMBER THEY CAN READ ON THE MAIN PAGE.
SO THAT'S THE HOPE THE FIRST THING PEOPLE SEE WHEN THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THAT HELP.
I THINK WE CAN ALSO DO SOME OTHER TYPES OF PUBLICITY GET I KNOW THAT WE WERE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PHONE NUMBERS INTO RENTAL UNITS SO THAT THE NUMBER WOULD BE AVAILABLE.
[00:25:07]
THE NUMBER NEEDS TO BE AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO MIGHT HAVE THE NEED TO HAVE IT AT THEIR FINGERTIPS ON THE DOOR. SO IS THERE A MAILING THAT CAN HAPPEN OR SOMETHING SOME OTHER TYPE OF OF PUBLICIZING THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE KNOW EMAIL BLAST IT'S NOT ALWAYS ONLINE I CHECKED WITH COMMUNICATIONS I KNOW THAT CAROLINE AND SO FORTH THEY WERE PUTTING TOGETHER A NEWS LAST I THAT THEY JUST POSTED SOMETHING ELSE FOR US SO IF IT HASN'T ALREADY POSTED THE HOTLINE IT SHOULD BE ANY DAY NOW BECAUSE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PUSHING IT THROUGH WITH KELLEY WITH CAROLINE. CAROLINE SO I EITHER ALREADY OR IT SHOULD HAPPEN ANY DAY NOW SOMETHING IN PRINT, SOMETHING THAT SO THAT PEOPLE HAVE IT AT THEIR FINGERTIPS AS YOU KNOW YOU KNOW THE OLD REFRIGERATOR TYPE OF THING. MR. BROMWICH I'VE HEARD THAT COMPLAINT BEFORE. WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THAT. OKAY.THANK YOU. I THINK IT'S PART OF THE MOST CRITICAL PIECE OF GETTING TO WHERE THE REAL ISSUES ARE AND ADDRESSING THOSE COMPLAINTS THE MOST EFFICIENTLY AND USING THE PROCESS WE'VE PUT IN PLACE TO DO THAT VAST MAJORITY OF THE NOISE THAT THAT YOU HEAR BY REGULATORS IS CONTINUED. THANK YOU. SORRY.
ONE QUICK QUESTION ON MY GOING FORWARD BASIS TO DATE AS OF FOUR 2823 I THINK IT'D BE HELPFUL FOR US TO KNOW LIKE BY MONTH THE WEEK WHEN THESE WERE THE MAJORITY OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE COMING IN BUT YOU COULDN'T HAVE IT YEAH WAS PART OF THE DOUBLE STANDARD.
YEAH SO I CAN TELL YOU WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE MORE ACTION WEEK AND THAT'S OKAY I WAS JUST THINKING OF WEEK. DO WE HAVE MORE COMPLAINTS DURING HERITAGE WEEK DOING ANOTHER TIME AND GOING FORWARD AND THEN ALSO BY LOCATION NOT EACH COMPLAINT BEFORE KIND OF A HEAT MAP OF THE AREAS WE HAVE A COOLING PROGRAM THEN A SHORT SHORT LEVEL BUT REAL QUICK ON THE HOTLINE ITSELF AFTER YOUR EXPERIENCE I WOULD LIKE TO GO ALWAYS SAID THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND HOW CAN WE MOVE FORWARD AND WHAT IS THERE TO EXPECT WITH THIS HOTLINE? I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND. IT'S REALLY JUST A TOOL FOR US TO GATHER INFORMATION.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO MAKE THE ONE CONTACT TO THE OWNER AND THEY'RE GOING TO CONTACT AND THERE IS NO PROCESS WITHIN THAT CONTACT THE COMPLAINANT IN A TIME THAT YOU WOULD GET A CONTACT FROM PHONE ENFORCEMENT THE AVERAGE WAIT TIME IS 2 TO 8 MINUTES AND YOU CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE EVERY ANSWER IN THE TIME IN WHICH IT'S BEEN RECEIVED WE ASK BECAUSE WE FOUND THAT THERE WERE SOME NEW OPERATORS I WOULD GO WITH SAID THAT CAN HAPPEN THAT WITH HILTON HEAD I WELL WE HAVE WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE WE'VE GOT YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE ME YOUR MORE EXPERIENCED PEOPLE WE'VE GOT TO RETRAIN THEM SO WE WORK ON THE ACTUAL SCRIPT THAT THE THAT THE OPERATORS USE WE MADE SOME CHANGE UPDATES AND SO FORTH SO THAT HOPEFULLY WHAT HAPPENED TO DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN SO IF THE SVR AGENT DOES NOT CALL THEY CAN VOICE MESSAGES LEFT AND CODE ENFORCEMENT THEN FOLLOW UP SCHEME FOLLOWED UP WITH AN EMAIL AND ANY CALLS THAT THEY NEED TO DO WHETHER IT'S FIELD VISIT ETC. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR I USE MYSELF AS AN EXAMPLE BUT THERE ARE OTHER EXAMPLES OF THAT SAME SORT OF SITUATION AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF THAT THAT I'VE HEARD FROM OTHERS ACROSS THE TRYING TO USE THE SYSTEM AND SO WHILE THIS IS ALL GREAT AND I'M THRILLED TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION IN MY HAND MY BOTTOM LINE ULTIMATE ROLE AND JOB AND RESPONSIBILITY IS TO MAKE THAT FOLKS WHO ARE BEING AFFECTED ARE GETTING THE TYPE RESPONSE THAT THEY NEED.
AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SURE IS BY HAVING AS MUCH DATA AND INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE TO IT FOLLOWED THROUGH ON. SO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
IT'S A STEP FORWARD AND A LOT OF HELP BUT THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT ME.
THIS IS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. I THINK THAT IS CORRECT. ABSOLUTELY.
SO IN ADDITION TO THE HOTLINE THERE IS AN ONLINE COMPLAINT THAT DOES NOT GET ANSWERED AS QUICKLY AS THE PEOPLE ALL FIRST THAT IN OTHER WORDS BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT'S CALLING AND THEN THEY FOLLOW UP WITH THE EMAILS NOTICE IMMEDIATELY IF THERE'S ONLINE COMPLAINT PUT IN OR A HOTLINE COMPLAINT PUT IT ON CODE ENFORCEMENT THEN FOLLOWS
[00:30:03]
UP THEY MONITOR THE HOTLINE COMPLAINTS DAILY THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE DOUBLE SYSTEM SO THEY PUT IN THEIR OWN NOTES ON THE FOLLOW UP AND SO FORTH AND THEN OF COURSE IT GETS FOLLOWED UP BY ON ONE TO SHOW YOU OUR DASHBOARD. THAT'S WHAT WE'VE WORKED SO HARD FOR. MOST OF THE STATE IS ACTUALLY WORKING ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS TO TRY PUT THIS TOGETHER. SO AND I HAVE TO THANK I.T BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD A LOT OF SUPPORT. BASICALLY THIS IS AN INTERNAL DASHBOARD. THIS DATA IS AS OF MAY 9TH 2020, 2023 AND THIS IS GOING TO BE MORE OF YOUR DETAILED INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY THIS GIVES YOU YOU CAN CLICK BY PROPERTY, YOU CAN CLICK BY COMPLAINT YOU CAN SEARCH BY NEIGHBORHOOD IS ALSO A NEW FEATURE THAT WE JUST I JUST PUT IN US A HEAT MAP TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE BIGGER AREAS THAT ARE AFFECTED. I MEAN KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF WHAT NEIGHBORHOODS ARE AFFECTED, ETC. BASICALLY ANY INFORMATION THAT I CAN COLLECT WE CAN PUT DASHBOARD TOWN STAFF TO REVIEW TO COLLECT DATA. AVERAGE PARK AND SPACES ALL THAT KIND OF INFORMATION.WE ALSO HAVE AN EXPERT DASHBOARD FOR THE PUBLIC AND IT WILL BE A LITTLE SIMPLER THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEARCH BY ZIP CODE NEIGHBORHOOD OR ADDRESS TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS IN FACT OR TERM HAS IN FACT RECEIVED THE SHORT TERM RENTAL PERMIT. WE WILL NOT SHOW THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PERMITTED AND WE WILL ONLY SHOW THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE RECEIVED THEIR PERMANENT THIS TIME AS OF THAT DATE THAT DATA IS PULLED. THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THAT CONTACT INFORMATION A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL IN THE RIGHT IDEA. THAT'S EASY TO ADD SORT OF IT'S A GREAT IDEA. SO THIS YOU'VE ACTUALLY THIS IS THE FIRST VIEWING PUBLIC VIEWING OF THE DASHBOARD LIKE FOR INSTANCE ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION THAT ALL TO BE ENTERED MANUALLY. SO YOU FIGURE ALMOST 6000 PERMITS WE HAD TO GO IN MANUALLY ENTER ALL THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING WE THOUGHT ABOUT AFTERWARDS. SO THIS WAS REALLY QUITE A QUITE A PROCESS I'M REALLY PROUD OF . IT TOOK A BIG TEAM TO DO THIS AND IT UP TO THE LAST SECOND RIGHT BEFORE WE MET THEY PUT THAT HOT MAPS PART OF IT IN FOR US SO THAT YOU CAN GET DIFFERENT WAYS TO VIEW THE INFORMATION SO THIS IS REALLY VERY HELPFUL AND I THINK IT'S AND ALSO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR SO ALL OF LITTLE DARK DOTS BUT THE GREEN CENTERS THOSE ARE EACH REPRESENT A SHORT TERM RENTAL THAT IS CORRECT AND SO WE CAN SEE JUST BY A GLANCE VISUALLY THE CONCENTRATION. HOWEVER WE CAN ALSO SEE THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT IN JUST ONE AREA IT IS ACROSS THE ISLAND AND GROWING AT A LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE MAPS DONE ON THIS SO IN THE PRESENTATION MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE TO OR TODAY'S MEETING THE PUBLIC SHOWS A STAFF WILL SHOW A NUMBER OF THINGS INCLUDES HOTSPOTS OR HOTSPOTS WHERE THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS OR WHETHER A HIGH NUMBER OF SHORT TERM RENTALS OR SHORT TERM RENTALS WE CAN ADD TO COMPLAINTS AS WELL WHICH IS DISGUSTED BY PERFORMANCE MEETING THOSE THAT'S HOW THAT'S HOW CLOSE TO THE DEADLINE WE MADE IT BUT YES THAT WILL BE IT. YEAH SO SO HOTSPOTS ARE HIGH NUMBER A SHORT TERM RENTALS. CORRECT. OKAY.
I'M NOT ASKING FOR COMPLAINTS TO BE ADDED BECAUSE I THINK I SEE THAT YOU HAVE THEM ON THERE BUT THE HOTSPOTS AND DO YOU CALL THEM HOTSPOTS? IS IT BECAUSE OF THE INTENSITY? BECAUSE I THINK THIS HELPS US TO MR. COLLINS POINT IN PHASE TWO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE AND WHAT DATA DO WE HAVE TO BE TO DRIVE OUR DECISIONS? WHERE IS THE INTENSITY OF LOCATION OF STARS AND SO WHAT ARE THE ISSUES THERE? AND I SEE HIM APPROACHING THANK YOU, SIR. YEAH.
YOU KNOW A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE LOOK AT PLANNING HEAT MAPS, RIGHT HIGH ACTIVITY OR CONCENTRATIONS ARE AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHATEVER RIGHT DENSITY IT'S REALLY JUST A HEAT MAP OF ACTIVITY MORE THAN ANYTHING AND YOU YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS MAP HERE ESPECIALLY AT THAT SCALE AND SAY THERE'S A PRETTY HOT SPOT ALMOST ALONG SEA FANS ON ALL THE BEACHFRONT PROPERTY ON THERE.
BUT AS FAR IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEFT YOU CAN CLICK ON A SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'LL ZOOM IN AND THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 8300 THAT'S ON ONE DASHBOARD OF THE 5700 AT MOST OF THEIR IDENTIFIED OTHERS THAT WE NEED TO BATCH AND CONTACT TO MAKE
[00:35:02]
SURE THAT THEY GET IN THE SYSTEM YOU NEED TO HAVE AN INTERNAL STAFF ONE THAT WE'RE MANAGING AND THEN WANT TO BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE VERIFIED REGISTERED USERS BUT WE'LL HAVE THE SAME WE HAVE THE CAPABILITIES. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHAT WE WANT TO TURN ON AND TURN OFF. BUT THIS IS A THIS IS A ONE AGO MAKING MY FOOT HURT THE.YOU KNOW, THE ISLAND IS IN THE SHAPE OF A FOOT OR A TENNIS AND I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING PLANTAR FASCIITIS. YEAH, THIS WAS A LITTLE ASKEW TRYING TO FIT IT THERE JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA. BUT AGAIN WE'VE REALLY TOUCHED SURFACE ON THE DASHBOARD ITSELF IN TERMS OF WHAT WE CAN COLLECT AND WHAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO COLLECT AND I'M FINDING OUT MORE EVERY DAY JUST BY WORKING WITH THE IT DEPARTMENT AND OUR GAS ANALYSTS SO IT'S LIKE I SAID JUST TOUCHING THE SURFACE AND SAME THING IN TERMS OF OUR PROJECT YOU KNOW WE'VE REALLY JUST BEGUN. WE TO GET OUR NEXT MAILING OUT WHICH IS GOING TO BE WELL OVER 20 MORE LETTERS BEING SENT OUT TO ALL TRAINING STAFF. WE'RE STILL COLLECTING DATA.
WE'RE TRYING TO FIND NEW WAYS TO ASSIST THE PUBLIC. WE JUST SET UP A NEW KIOSK SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN COME IN TRY TO APPLY FOR IT ON THE KIOSK AND THEN WE'RE THERE HELP THEM BECAUSE WE'RE FINDING A LOT OF PEOPLE TO HELP THEM APPLYING AND A LOT OF THEM ARE COMING IN. SO WE SET UP THIS KIOSK WHICH WE GOT FROM IT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT SO WE'RE FINDING NEW WAYS TO HELP THE PUBLIC GET LICENSED AND PERMITTED WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH COMMUNICATIONS. LIKE I SAID, I JUST MET WITH THEM THE HOTLINE AND ABOUT PUSHING IT OUT ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA FRONTS SO FORTH.
SO IT IS A CONTINUING PROCESS FOR US AND CONTINUE TO EDUCATE AND REACH OUT TO THE PUBLIC AS NEEDED. SO AND WITH THAT AS ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS AND FANTASTIC ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT ENFORCEMENT THERE'S BEEN FROM A UNIT THAT'S BEEN IDENTIFIED THAT HAS REFUSED TO TAKE A LICENSE TO GET A LICENSE.
SO AT THIS THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT GIVE US THAT MUCH FOR THEM FROM NOT GETTING THE PERMIT BECAUSE THERE'S NO PENALTY THERE'S NO LATE FEE IN THE ORDINANCE.
SO WE'RE VERY SO WE ARE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET THE LICENSE BY MAY 31ST BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE TO GET THEIR BUSINESS LICENSE APRIL 30TH. NOW IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THEIR BUSINESS LICENSE THERE IS A BUSINESS LICENSE AUDIENCE CAPABILITY, A CITATION FOR OPERATING WITHOUT A CURRENT BUSINESS LICENSE. SO IT SEEMS TO THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET THEM COMPLIANT . WOULDN'T IT BE A MISDEMEANOR FOR SOMEONE TO REFUSE TO ACQUIRE THE PERMIT? I WOULD THINK SO.
WE MAY MAYBE WE NEED TO CLARIFY THE ORDINANCE. WE CAN DO THAT AND THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. BUT FOR MY JOB TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU WHEN PEOPLE ME WHAT IS THE DUE DATE LET US KNOW WHAT YOU WANT YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE PENALTY WHAT IS THE LATE FEE WE CAN CERTAINLY CITE THEM FOR NOT HAVING A BUSINESS WHAT ABOUT HAVING A SHORT TERM RENTAL? BUT IF THEY'RE SHORT TERM RUNNING IN THEY'RE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR A GRADE. I THINK WE NEED SOME CLARITY ON MAYBE WORK WITH A TOWN ATTORNEY TO FIND OUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE NEED TO DO TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE TO MAKE IT CLEAR ABOUT ENFORCEMENT, LATE FEES ETC.. TALK ABOUT THE GATED COMMUNITY.
YEAH, I'M A DOS AND SEE? HAVE A YEAH YEAH. I GOT A CALL YESTERDAY ABOUT A UNIT DOWN THERE THAT ACTUALLY ENTRY FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS YOU KNOW LET'S WHAT IS PRICED AND SUGGESTED IN FOLLOW UP YOU SAID THAT I MEAN THEY CHECK YEAH FIRST I WANTED TO SAY SEE I KNOW THIS IS A NEW PROGRAM I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF DOLLAR DATA I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF ANXIETY FROM EVERYONE BOTH THOSE WHO ARE QUALITY OF LIFE HAS BEEN IMPACTED OVER THE YEARS AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO WERE LISTING PROPERTIES FOR SHORT TERM RENTAL FOR OUR VISITORS.
SO LOTS OF PRESSURE AND STRESS ON YOU AND I KNOW THAT I HAD A PHONE CALL FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS HAVING SOME DIFFICULTIES FIGURING OUT THEIR PERMIT AND ARREST AND WHEN I SENT THEM TO THE STAFF THEY WERE SO WELL TAKEN OF THE PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY SO AND SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT I DO HAVE A QUESTION WITH REGARD TO PERMITS AND JUST DATA POINT SOME OF THE TIME FOR MOST THOSE PERMITS BEING MAYBE EVEN LICENSES SINCE I KNOW THEY'RE TWO SEPARATE ARE THEY BEING APPLIED THROUGH THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TEAM OR THE INDIVIDUALS FOR THAT MATTER?
[00:40:02]
MOST OF THE PERMITS HAVE BEEN APPLIED BY INDIVIDUAL OWNERS. WE DO HAVE SOME BIG COMPANIES THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH TO GIVE THEM ALL THE INFORMATION TO GET THE PERMITS BUT THE MAJORITY IS THE INDIVIDUAL OWNER OBTAINING IT THEMSELVES. YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING AND I JUST WANT TO SAY I HEARD YOU AND IN OPEN WOULD WHEN YOU IDENTIFY YOUR DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO MAKE YOUR JOBS EASIER PLEASE LET US NOW? THANK YOU.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. WE'LL GET TO THAT HERE. YEAH.
JUST ONE QUICK THING FOR THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING US ONLINE. I'D LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU GO TO THE TOWN'S WEBSITE LOOK UNDER MAJOR INITIATIVES AND UNDER MAJOR INITIATIVES YOU FIND SHORT TERM RENTAL PROGRAM AND THEN YOU CAN FIND MORE DATA.
AND I WAS JUST LOOKING TO WHERE TO FIND THE DASHBOARD AND THAT'S NOT ALL THAT THIS IS THE FIRST VIEW AS YOU AND YOU HAVE NOT PUT IT PUBLIC YET. SO THE QUESTION IS THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT PLACES TO LOOK. ONE IS UNDER MAJOR INITIATIVES AND THE OTHER IS UNDER MAPS AND IF IT'S NOT DONE ALREADY WOULD SUGGEST ALL RIGHT FOLKS SO IT BE IN BOTH PLACES SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE THAT HEAT MAP, IF YOU WILL THAT YOU SHOWED US NOT THE PUBLIC ONE THEN BE BURIED UNDER THE SHORT TERM RENTAL INITIATIVE AS WELL AS UNDER MAPS? YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU, BARBARA. THANK SECOND PLEASE BARBARA.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT WAS WELL DONE AND APPRECIATE THE PROGRESS.
IT'S BEEN A HERCULEAN TASK THE LAST SIX OR EIGHT MONTHS. THANK YOU.
I INVITED A COUPLE OF PEOPLE TO COME AND SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE COUNCIL IS NOT TAKING ACTION. SO WHO WOULD TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL? I SEE MA'AM. SORRY I'M LIVE HERE AND OWN SHORT TERM RENTALS.
ALL RIGHT. WANT TO MAKE SURE THE CLERK GOT YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? OKAY? ADEQUATE. THANK YOU.
THANK THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, TODAY MARKS IN TERMS OF MEASURING BOTH THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTIONS IN PLACE FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS, A REALLY GOOD POINT WE HAVE THE DATA PROVIDED THAT JUST GATHERED TODAY THAT REALISM MYSTICALLY SHOWS ROUGHLY 6000 VACATION RENTALS AND 51 PROBLEMS REPORTED. WHILE THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE WHOLE STORY, MORE DATA STILL NEEDS TO BE COLLECTED TO MAKE SURE ALL THE PROPERTIES ARE IN GOOD POINTS. WELL AS THE RESIDENTS CONCERNS ARE QUANTIFIED AND ADDRESSED, THE DASHBOARD COULD BE LAUNCHED. THE DASHBOARD THAT COULD BE LAUNCHED WOULD BE VITAL FOR PROFESSIONAL MANAGERS AS WELL AS OWNERS TO STAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH PROPERTIES WHETHER THEY SERVICE IT THEMSELVES OR THROUGH A MANAGEMENT COMPANY.
AS PROFESSIONALS WE USE DATA ANALYTICS IN OUR EVERYDAY BUSINESS LIFE.
THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION IS KEY TO GUIDE WHAT NEXT STEP SHOULD BE DISCUSSED AND DIRECTED AND THE NARRATIVES FOR IMPROVEMENT NOW THE DISCUSSION TURN TO HOW MORE COLLABORATION WITH THE COMMUNITY AND BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE DATA MINING SOLUTIONS AND REVIEWS WITH RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES CAN AFFECT THE COMMUNITY SO. THE REAL QUESTION WE HAVE IS CAN WE FORM A COMMITTEE THAT IS OWNERS BUSINESSES AND THE COMMUNITY TO OPINE THIS TO GET INVOLVED WITH IT AND NOT AND TAKE ALL OF THE CONCERNS INTO ACCOUNT THAT REALLY THE REQUEST WE HAVE YOU KNOW THERE ARE SHORT 40 SHORT TERM PROFESSIONAL RENTAL COMPANIES.
YES. BUT THERE'S ALSO OWNERS WHO RENT WE'RE GOT GATED COMMUNITIES THAT ARE HAVE THEIR OWN SECURITY THAT HAVE A CHARGE FOR A SHORT TERM RENTAL.
WE HAVE THE SHORT TERM RENTAL BUSINESS LICENSE. WE HAVE THE SHORT TERM RENTAL PERMIT. WE PAY 6% TAXES. WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN COMMUNITIES THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO ENJOY THEIR COMMUNITY BECAUSE SOME OUT OF CONTROL PEOPLE THAT RENT CAN WE PLEASE LOOK AT FORMING A COMMUNITY WITH BOTH MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY BOTH BUSINESSES AND OWNERS OF PROPERTIES TO REALLY GET A COMMUNITY BASED SOLUTION ON THIS? I MEAN IF YOU HAD 51 REPORTS AND THE REALITY IS YOU HAVE 56% OF YOURS OR TWO BEDROOM VILLAS IT'S NOT A TWO BEDROOM BILL. IS THAT I KEEP HEARING THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT MOST OF THE TIMES SO FOR 46% OF THE STORES 46% OR MORE DRAGGED INTO THEIR
[00:45:04]
PROBLEMS IN THE WRONG COMMUNITIES IS FOR EVERYBODY ALL THERE? THANK YOU, MA'AM. AND WE ALL REPORT SO CAN YOU PLEASE ADDRESS MANDY? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO LIKE TO ADDRESS THE THOSE DANIEL ANTHONY GENERAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY I BELIEVE THE PREVIOUS PERSON WAS SPEAKING ON A ON A THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT DREW BROWN AND HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT OBVIOUSLY I THINK THE SHORT TERM RENTAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS A GREAT IDEA I BELIEVE IS A VITAL STEP THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THE FUTURE. HILTON HEAD MY CONVERSATIONS WITH RESIDENTS FROM STEM FROM STAFFERS IN OFF PLANS IN PLANTATION AREAS AREAS WITH NO PERIODS WHERE THEY HAVE NO PROTECTION I'VE LISTENED TO CONVERSATIONS AND DOWN THE COAST AND ACROSS THE STATE WE'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO TO CATCH UP TO OTHER MUNICIPALITY LEADERS AND STRIKE A BALANCE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. I AGREE THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE SHOULD INCLUDE PEOPLE FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL. ONLY THEN CAN WE HAVE IT FAIR AND ISOLATE THE PROBLEMS AND DEVELOP THE SOLUTIONS NOT ONLY SOLVE TODAY'S ISSUES BUT ALSO THE ISSUES WE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY FACE IN THE FUTURE. YOU ASK ME TO GET INVOLVED.I HAVE YOU ASKED ME TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX THIS. COLLABORATION WITH DREW IS EVIDENCE OF THAT. NOW LET'S DO SOMETHING CRAZY. LET'S PUT THE MULE IN FRONT OF THE CART THIS TIME. SO TODAY I ASKED THIS COMMITTEE FOR THE MOTION ON THE TOWN COUNCIL TO FORM A SHORT TERM RENTAL ADVISORY MADE UP OF THE COMMERCIAL SIDE AND THE RESIDENTS LIKE THANKS. THANK YOU MR. ANTHONY THERE ANYONE ELSE WE'D LIKE ADDRESS THIS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[6B. Consideration of a Resolution Supporting the Proposed Approach to Complete a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats (SWOT) and Resilience Plan for Hilton Head Island.]
I APPRECIATE THE WE HAVE SPENT THIS MORNING BARBARA AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.NEXT ON THE AGENDA RESILIENCY PLAN CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE PROPOSED APPROACH TO COMPLETE STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND RESILIENCE PLAN FOR HEAD ISLAND PLANNING COMMITTEE OTHER MEMBERS OF TOWN COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND GENERAL PUBLIC AUDIENCE MY NAME IS JEFF BUCKELEW.
I'M HERE TODAY AND WHAT WE'RE SEEKING FROM COMMITTEE IS YOUR ENDORSEMENT THE FULL TOWN COUNCIL OF A CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT OUR PROPOSED APPROACH TO RESILIENCE PLAN AND IT WILL INCLUDE A SWOT ANALYSIS AND I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION ABOUT TEN SLIDES I'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH TALK ABOUT IT. THIS INITIATIVE STEMS THE THE STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED BY TOWN COUNCIL I HAVE THE PURPOSE STATEMENT WRITTEN HERE TELL US WHY WE'RE DOING WHAT WE HOPE TO ACHIEVE ETC. THIS IS ALSO MENTIONED IN THE CURRENT PLAN THE 2020 2040 HOUR PLAN ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND THERE WAS A GOAL NUMBER SIX REGARDING RESILIENCE YOU'LL SEE THERE BULLET NUMBER ONE IS WHAT WE'RE REALLY FOCUSING ON TODAY . THERE ARE FIVE OTHER BULLETS WE WILL DEAL WITH IN TIME OR CURRENTLY DEALING WITH BUT THIS PROJECT THIS EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A RESILIENCE CLIMATE ADAPTION PLAN TO ADDRESS FLOODING, SEA LEVEL RISE OTHER ISSUES THE ISLAND COULD FACE TO CLIMATE CHANGE WHAT IS RESILIENCE? ONE THING I'D LIKE EVERYONE TO GET IN THE HABIT OF IS SAYING RESILIENCE INSTEAD OF RESILIENCY YOU CAN LOOK AT THE GRAMMAR POLICE ONLINE ETC.. RESILIENCY IS MORE SOMETHING USING PSYCHOLOGY IN THE SOFT SCIENCES I THINK BUT ANYWAY WITH THE HARD SCIENCES AND IN THIS FIELD EVERYONE SEEMS TO THINK RESILIENCE IS THE CORRECT TERM. THANK YOU FOR THE CORRECTION SIR. AND YOU KNOW YOU LOOK AT THE DEFINITION URBAN LAND INSTITUTE, YOU KNOW, WELL RESPECTED ORGANIZATION THEY CALL IT THE ABILITY TO PREPARE AND PLAN FOR ABSORB, RECOVER FROM FORCE AND OR SUCCESSFULLY ADAPT TO ADVERSE EVENTS.
YEAH THAT COULD MEAN A LOT OF THINGS TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT EVENTS WITH RESPECT TO CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE ABILITY TO ANTICIPATE, PREPARE FOR, RESPOND, RECOVER FROM HAZARDOUS CLIMATE RELATED EVENTS, TRENDS DISTURBANCES SO EVENTS AND DISTURBANCES COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORM OR RAINFALL EVENT.
IT COULD BE A HURRICANE TRENDS WILL BE SEA LEVEL RISE. OF COURSE IMPROVING RESILIENCE FOR THE ISLAND IS GOING TO INVOLVE ASSESSING HOW THE CLIMATE CHANGE MAY CREATE NEW OR ALTER CURRENT CLIMATE RELATED AND THEN TAKING PRUDENT MITIGATION ACTIONS AND STEPS TO
[00:50:03]
ADAPT AND COPE WITH THOSE RISKS . A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GOALS HERE. YOU KNOW, LAYING OUT THIS PLAN WE'RE GOING TO SAY WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE RESILIENCE OF THE ISLAND AGAINST THREATS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, SEA LEVEL RISE TO BETTER PROTECT OUR RESIDENTS, OUR INFRASTRUCTURE OUR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ASSETS, NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, QUALITY LIFE. AND I THINK THERE'S THREE PHASES. YOU KNOW, BACK TO TIME WE WANT TO LOOK AT A NEAR IMMEDIATE AND LONG TERM PLAN. ALL OF THE GOOD PLANS OUT THERE TAKE THIS APPROACH THE EXTENT OF THE PLAN WILL LOOK AT THE TOWN LIMITS OF COURSE AND WE'LL INCLUDE THE CAUSEWAY AND THE BRIDGES TO THE ISLAND TIMELINE GIVEN A RELEASE OF THE REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NEXT MONTH AFTER TOWN COUNCIL APPROVAL BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR WE WILL HAVE THE COMPLETE PLAN IN PLACE AND BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENTATION AND THE STAKEHOLDERS AS YOU CAN GUESS YOU KNOW THE CITIZENS OF HILTON HEAD, OUR VISITORS, PROPERTY OWNERS, THE UTILITIES THAT ARE PROVIDE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, BUSINESS OWNERS ETC. PARTNERING IS GOING TO BE KEY AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. I HAVE SOME LOGOS THERE, A FEW OF THE KEY THIS STATE RECENTLY WITHIN THE PAST FEW YEARS CREATED A DEPARTMENT OF RESILIENCE OFFICE OF RESILIENCE I SHOULD SAY THEY'RE UP IN COLUMBIA THEY'RE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A STATEWIDE RESILIENCE PLAN KIND OF THE FIRST MACRO SCALE FOR THE STATE I THINK IT'S DUE THIS JULY TO BE RELEASED AND THEY'LL BE ON THE WEBSITE OF THE SEA GRANT CONSORTIUM.THEY WORK WITH ACADEMIA AND UNIVERSITIES COASTAL CAROLINA, CLEMSON COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON ETC. AND THEY ARE SORT OF A CLEARINGHOUSE FOR A LOT OF THESE RESILIENCY PLANS RESILIENCE PLANS SHAME ON ME AND THEY YOU KNOW WE CAN BENCHMARK AND LOOK AT OTHER PLANS WE WANT TO TAKE THE BEST IDEAS AND STRATEGIES FROM OTHER PLANS OF COURSE AND TO USE THOSE AND ADAPT THOSE FOR OUR NEEDS. WE WERE JUST AWARDED A SHORT WHILE AGO A BRICK GRANT BRICK IS A FEDERAL PROGRAM. IT'S CALLED BUILDING RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNITIES FEMA ISSUES THE GRANTS THE SOUTH CAROLINA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT IS THE COORDINATOR AND IS THE ONE WHO WILL OVERSEE OUR PROJECT AND THAT'S A 75 K GRANT OF WHICH THERE IS A 25% LOCAL MATCH. SO WE NET ABOUT 56,000 AND TALKING ABOUT THE NUMBERS THE BUDGET WE HAVE 250,000 PROGRAM FROM THE STORMWATER UTILITY FUND THIS YEAR WE'LL GET THIS 56 NET FROM THIS GRANT AND WE'RE ADDING MONEY IN THE NEW 24 BUDGET THAT IS STORMWATER TOO SO WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE OVER 400 K TO TO DEVELOP COMPLETE THIS PLAN. HERE'S AN OUTLINE PATH WE'RE GOING TO CALL IT WE'LL TAKE A TWO PHASED APPROACH AND WITHIN THE PACKAGE TODAY AND ONLINE PEOPLE CAN VIEW IT WE HAVE THE ACTUAL REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS INTEND TO SEND OUT AND SOLICIT CONSULTANT STATEMENTS QUALIFICATIONS AND INTEREST AND I HAVE HERE NOT IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER I KNOW MR. ADVERTISED MENTIONED PUBLIC OUTREACH AND THE SMART WAY TO DO THAT AND WE WOULD NOT ENGAGE THE PUBLIC WITHOUT MEANINGFUL INFORMATION AND DATA TO PRESENT SO I'VE GOT THAT KIND OF HIGH UP THERE THE. WE WILL WORK WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT AND MAKE SURE WE DO THAT AT SMART TIME. SORRY CAN I JUST ASK YOU WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND THAT FOR MR. ADVOCATE I THINK AS I UNDERSTAND IT A LARGE PART OF THAT BE HELPFUL TO HAVE SOME EDUCATION TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT WHY ARE WE DOING THIS AND WHY THE NEEDS BECAUSE I THINK HIS POINT IS WE DON'T YET HAVE THE DATA TO BE ABLE TO ASK THE PUBLIC ABOUT IT BUT IF THAT COULD BE FOCUSED A LITTLE MORE ON EDUCATION AND HELPING THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND WHAT RESILIENCE AND WHY WE NEED A PLAN, I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL AT THE OUTSET FOR SURE. FOLKS ARE GOING TO OFFER INPUT AT THE TIME BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE A BIG PIECE OF IT WHEN .
WE GET STARTED. YES, MA'AM. I FORESEE WE COULD DEVELOP A DASHBOARD OR ON THE WEBSITE TO EXPLAIN THE KNOWN METRICS AND DATA AND AND PUT IT OUT THERE.
AND I THINK BEFORE WE ENGAGE THE PUBLIC, WHETHER IT'S TRADITIONAL TOWN HALL PUBLIC MEETINGS OR SURVEYS, I THINK THOSE ARE VERY USEFUL ON OUR WEBSITE WE CAN USE PRINT MEDIA SOCIAL MEDIA TO ATTRACT FOLKS TO THAT SURVEY AND WE CAN WORK WITH THE PLACE AM I MY POLITICAL HAT SAYS THAT WE OUGHT TO BE VERY CAREFUL THAT WE'RE IMPLYING THAT WE'RE EXCLUDING THE PUBLIC AND WE'RE REALLY NOT EXCLUDING THE PUBLIC BECAUSE WHAT MS. BRYSON SAYING IS GOING TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC SO THAT WE'RE ALL SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE AND INTERPRETING GOING TO HAPPEN. YES SIR. I UNDERSTOOD IT PRECLUDED THEM FROM PROVIDING INPUT AND SO YOU'LL SEE WE HAVE YOU KNOW WE WILL LOOK AT TOWN REGULATIONS,
[00:55:07]
STATE AND FEDERAL REGS THAT THAT RELATE TO THIS ISSUE OF FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT IS A BIG THING WE DO STORMWATER SYSTEM ASSESSMENTS, WE HAVE A GREAT INVENTORY AND GIS OF OUR SYSTEMS. WE'VE BEEN MEASURING, SURVEYING, INVENTORYING STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE SINCE THE MID-NINETIES AND WE'VE DONE SEVERAL DETAIL BUILD WATERSHED STUDIES WITH HIGH DRAFT HYDROLOGIC AND HYDRAULIC CAPACITY WHERE WE SIMULATE RAINFALL OF DIFFERENT EVENTS YOU KNOW TEN YEARS, THE 100 YEAR STORM ETC. SEE HOW MUCH THE EXISTING SYSTEM CAN CONVEY WHERE THE DEFICIENCIES ARE AND INUNDATION WHO MAY BE FLOODED STREETS OR HOMES ETC. BEFORE YOU LEAVE PHASE ONE I SHOULD SAY AT THE OUTSET IF YOU COULD SEE FEET THEY'D BE DOING THE HAPPY DANCE. I'M SO HAPPY THAT WE'RE DOING THIS BUT OF THE DIFFERENT KIND OF TOPICS STORM DRAINAGE BETWEEN NOURISHMENT, FLOOD INUNDATION I THINK INFORMATION ON OUR FRESHWATER CAPACITY WOULD BE HELPFUL TO GATHER AT PHASE ONE BECAUSE AS I UNDERSTAND IT WE'RE GOING TO BE NEED TO WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO ADDRESS THE FRESH WATER SUPPLY AS PART OF DEVELOPING THE PLAN. SO I THINK WE NEED TO SPECIFICALLY ADD FRESH WATER INFORMATION. YEAH.NOW GET THIS CORRECT THE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF COURSE HERE ARE POTABLE DRINKING WATER AND AND WELL SALTING UP ETC. IS AN ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS.
YES. AND IN THE END THIS WILL CULMINATE IN SWOT ANALYSIS SO WE WANT TO GET THAT DONE AT THE END OF PHASE ONE WE'RE GOING TO SAY HERE HERE ARE THE STRENGTHS SWEETENERS, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS AND THEN WE WILL AMEND CONTRACT TO GO DO MORE DETAILED ANALYSIS AND MODELING FINE TUNE IT SAY AND THEN PRESENT THE MITIGATION STRATEGIES WHETHER IT'S SELF MITIGATION THROUGH, NEW RULES AND ORDINANCES ETC. AND HARD MITIGATION THROUGH ENGINEERING PROJECTS TO RAISE ROADS, PUT IN STORMWATER BACKFLOW MORE PUMP STATIONS PERHAPS AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND SORRY AT WHAT POINT WOULD WE BE LOOKING AT BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS AND LAND MANAGEMENT CODE PROVISIONS WITH REGARD TO LOOKING AT HOW TO BEST PLAN FOR RESILIENCE IN IN THE FIRST PHASE WE WILL LOOK YOU KNOW I'VE GOT A PUBLIC POLICY AND REGULATION SO WE WILL COMPILE ALL OF THE TOWN, COUNTY AND FEDERAL CODES AND ORDINANCES, LAWS ETC. THAT AFFECT DECISIONS BUILDING HEIGHT ELEVATIONS, STORMWATER DESIGN ETC. AND THEN IN THE SECOND PHASE THEN WE WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.
YOU KNOW THE PLAN WILL SAY I RECOMMEND WHATEVER RAISE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS X FEET OVER THIS PERIOD OF TIME BUT IT MIGHT BE GOOD REGULATION ASSESSMENT TO PUT IN FOR INSTANCE AFTER THAT INCLUDING BUILDING CODE LAND MANAGEMENT CODE YOU KNOW STORMWATER REGULATIONS ETC. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO WHOEVER IS GOING TO BE SUBMITTING THEIR RESPONSE KNOWS THAT PARTICULARLY LOOK AT THOSE THINGS YEAH AND I'VE GOT THIS THIS IS A MORE KNOW HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW BUT I HAVE A MORE DETAILED TABLE OF CONTENTS I'LL GO TO NEXT THING BEFORE BEFORE WE LEAVE JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND I WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GREAT DETAIL BECAUSE YOU HAVE CURRENTLY COMING UP TO ANSWER LIKELY THE QUESTION BUT THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE CONSIDERATIONS I WOULD THAT WE WILL BE LOOKING AT WHAT IS NOW CURRENTLY BEFORE US WHICH PLAYS A PART IN WHICH IS OVERDEVELOPMENT IN PERVIOUS PERCENTAGES OF THE LAND THAT ARE COVERED BY BUILDING AND THEREFORE THE FLOOR RATIO BECOMING EVEN MORE IMPORTANT AS WELL AS PARKING SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ADDRESS NOW WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT FOR THIS COME BEFORE US CONTINUED LAND AND CONSERVATION THROUGH LAND ACQUISITION AND NOT FOR BUILDING OF THE TOWNS DESIRE BUT TRULY LEAVING IT AS OPEN LAND AND CONSERVATION. AND THEN A QUESTION WITH REGARD AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND SEWERS ETC. WE HAVE DISCUSSION AT THE BUDGET MEETING THE OTHER DAY ABOUT THOSE THAT THE TOWN NOT OWN AND THAT THE COUNTY IN THE STATE. SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO HOW WE IMPROVE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AND IF WE DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY HOW DOES THAT IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE ISLAND WIDE RESILIENCE PLAN IT'S NOT ANYTHING I NEED TO HAVE ANSWERED NOW BUT IN THE END THEN I'LL STOP.
BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR PHASE TWO WHICH YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO INTO.
I THINK THAT IT WAS ON THE LAST SLIDE. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
[01:00:03]
THAT I UNDERSTAND BETTER THERE'S A BULLET POINT THERE AND IT WAS MENTIONED WHEN WHEN DIEDRICH HERE THE SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACT THAT WILL BE STUDIED UNDER PHASE TWO SINCE THE ECONOMIC SYSTEMS DIVERSITY OF HOUSING JOBS AND I'D LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT HOW THAT INTERPLAYS WITH RESILIENCE PLAN IN THE FUTURE SO. OKAY AND YEAH I'LL GET TO THE DETAILED TABLE OF CONTENTS HERE BUT BUT WITH REGARDS TO INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MAY LIE IN COUNTY STATE RIGHTS OF WAY WE WE CAN HAVE AGREEMENTS WE CAN GET PERMITS TO WORK IN THERE IF FOR INSTANCE WE SAW THAT A STORMWATER SYSTEM WAS DEFICIENT NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER CULVERT UNDER HOW WE DO 78 IN THE STATIONS WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS OR THE PLANS REALLY ADDRESS THAT AND OUR PRIORITY SCHEMES WE WOULD GO IF WE HAVE THE MONEY WE'D SAY I WOULD LIKE A PERMIT I'M GOING TO DESIGN IT TO THIS GREATER LEVEL OF PROTECTION AND WE COULD DO THAT RIGHT AND UNDERSTOOD AND THAT BUT KNOWING TOO THAT IN REAL LIFE TODAY THERE ARE AREAS ON THE ISLAND THAT HAVE ISSUES WITH ITS ABILITY TO ABSORB WATERS FROM HEAVY RAIN FALLS OR HURRICANES. THERE IS ARE UNABLE TO BE FULLY ADDRESSED TO SATISFY A SAFETY RESILIENCE TYPE PLAN IF WE CAN DO IT FOR THE FUTURE WHY AREN'T WE DOING IT NOW IS MY QUESTION AND NOT TO YOU JUST GENERALLY AND YES WE UPDATE THE ALAMO WE THINK STORMWATER MANAGEMENT WOULD BE THE PLACE TO ADDRESS THOSE. SO THIS IS THE MORE DETAILED THE TABLE OF CONTENTS SO WE ARE GUIDING THE CONSULTANTS WE ARE SAYING HERE IS WHAT WE WANT OUR REPORT TO LOOK LIKE AT THE END IS THE PRODUCT THIS IS THE DELIVERABLE AND IT MAY CHANGE AS WE TALK WITH WHOEVER WE HIRE TOP EXPERTS IN THE FIELD IN THESE THEY MAY HAVE IDEAS ALL OF US HAD THIS OR BELIEVE THIS BUT TO TO HELP THEM PROVIDE PROPER RESPONSE AND EXPLAIN WHAT WE WANT WE HAVE LAID THIS OUT THIS OUTLINES TABLE OF CONTENTS YOU KNOW THE FIRST THREE ITEMS OF COURSE ANYONE READING PLAN I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHY WE'RE DOING IT, WHAT WE HOPE TO ACHIEVE. SO WE'LL PUT THOSE UP TOP.WE'LL LOOK AT IT BENCHMARKING AS I SAID SOME EARLY RESEARCH WE'VE DONE A LOT OF THAT IN HOUSE ALREADY BUT BUT TO TO PICK AND CHOOSE REALLY GREAT IDEAS FROM OTHER PLANS SEE WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD IS DOING IN FACT TO ADDRESS THIS MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING SMART DECISIONS THE SEA LEVEL RISE PROJECTION OF COURSE THERE'S A LOT OF THEM OUT THERE AND NOAH HAS THEM AND IT BE LOW INTERMEDIATE LOW INTERMEDIATE INTERMEDIATE HIGH HIGH.
AND SO YOU KNOW IF YOU THINK KIND OF A GOLDILOCKS PRINCIPLE IF THE MID IS MAYBE BEST FOR PLANNING PURPOSES DON'T OVER DESIGN DON'T DESIGN ETC. BUT THAT WILL BE A KEY DECISION IN THE PROCESS. SORRY AND I'LL JUST KEEP BEING AROUND TO TRY TO BE BRIEF AND TO THE POINT BENCHMARKING AND RELATIVE RELATIVITY TO OTHER PLANS.
I APPRECIATE LOOKING AT SOUTH CAROLINA AND COUNTY OTHER RELEVANT PLANS.
I THINK IT'D BE GOOD TO LOOK OUTSIDE SOUTH CAROLINA AS WELL BECAUSE TO TAKE THE NAVAL AIR BASE IN VIRGINIA ON THE COAST THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH DEL SOME OF THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT TO TRY TO SOLVE THAT IN NEW ORLEANS, SOUTH FLORIDA. SO I THINK WE OUGHT TO NOT JUST LIMITED TO SOUTH CAROLINA. YES, MA'AM, I AGREE TOTALLY. FLORIDA'S DONE A GOOD JOB THAT THEY'VE TRIED TO REGULATE AND KIND OF STANDARDIZE THEIR COMMUNITIES PLANS THAT GOT TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE. SO SARASOTA'S PLAN NOT VASTLY DIFFERENT FROM CLEARWATER'S PLAN BUT HAVING THAT MORE LOCAL DATA IS ALSO CRITICAL RIGHT HOW IT'S ACTUALLY IMPACTING OUR SHORELINE HERE IN HEAD AND I KNOW THAT FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS AND DON'T RECALL MAYBE THE CHAIR DOES WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE HELD IN THIS COMMITTEE BUT A DISCUSSION THAT DATA COLLECTION IS TAKING PLACE NORTH OF US PROBABLY IN THE CHARLESTON AREA AS I RECALL AND IT WAS A REQUEST THEN THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING SET UP LOCALLY HERE ON OUR OWN SHORES TO IDENTIFY OUR SPECIFIC MOVEMENT IF ANY SHOULD ACTUALLY EXIST. YES, MA'AM.
WE HAVE INSTALLED IT'S PART OF A OH MY GOSH I FORGET THE ACRONYM NOW BUT IT BUT ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF THE ATLANTIC UNITED STATES THERE'S A CONSORTIUM OF FOLKS PUTTING IN THESE TARGETS. WE HAVE THREE NOW YOU KNOW THE LAST COMMITTEE MEETING WE HAVE ONE WE HAVE ONE BACK AT THE WEST MARINA WE HAVE ANOTHER UP AT SKULL CREEK MARINA AND THEN A SOUTH BEACH. SO THESE ARE, YOU KNOW, SOLAR AND THEY'RE SURVEYED AND CALIBRATED SO THEY MEASURE THE TO THEM. SO WE HAVE THREE OF THOSE AND THERE'S A WEBSITE AND I'LL BE GLAD TO PROVIDE THAT LATER FOR FOLKS ANY TIME THEY WANT LOG ON AND JUST CHECK WITH CHECK WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE TIDES SO THAT HAS HAPPENED.
THANK THIS MAP. IS THAT A STATE OF THE ART MEASURING SYSTEM ON?
[01:05:05]
YES. YES. WE FEEL VERY CONFIDENT WITH THE DATA WE'RE GETTING YOU KNOW, THE DATA SOURCES AND NEEDS LIKE .WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THESE GAUGES NOW OF COURSE THEY HAVE VOLUMINOUS DATA.
WE WOULD USE THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON COUNTY, STATE, FEDERAL OF COURSE I SHOULD PUT THAT BUT ANYHOW WHAT WE CAN AFFECT CHANGE ON THE ALAMO THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ,WETLANDS PROTECTIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT OF COURSE WE WOULD LOOK AT STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT HELP DRIVE THIS EFFORT AND PUBLIC OUTREACH LIKE I SAY I THINK A KEY THING WOULD BE PUTTING A PROPER SURVEY ON OUR WEBSITE AND ONCE WE EDUCATE PEOPLE GET GET THE THOUGHTS AND INPUT AND DESIRES OF THE COMMUNITY THE INUNDATION MAPPING YOU CAN DO A REAL BROAD MACRO SCALE. YOU CAN GO ON THE WEBSITE RIGHT NOW AND JUST TURN IT UP A HALF A FOOT OF FOOT TOO BUT SEE WHAT HAPPENS A REALLY COOL VISUAL THEY HAVE THERE BUT WE WILL WE WILL HAVE A FIRM WHO WITH EXPERTIZE AND GIS AND WITH THIS MODELING AND SO WE'LL HAVE DETAILED MAPS AHEAD FOR TIME SAKE I JUST I WOULD LIKE THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW WE IT ALL TO YOU WOULD YOU WANT TO JUST ADD ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU MAY HAVE I KNOW I WOULDN'T A GREAT JOB GOING TO THE DETAIL I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT IN REFERENCE TO THE TIME WE HAVE AVAILABLE I'M COMFORTABLE IN THAT DIRECTION BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US? I'M COMFORTABLE IN THAT DIRECTION IF WE'RE GOING TO WE WHEN WE GET A QUALIFIED CONSULTANT THIS IS GOING TO BE MODIFIED SLIGHTLY. YOU KNOW, WE'RE RELATIVELY TO THE POINT WE'LL WE'LL FIGURE OUT THOSE PLANS THAT WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU GOT THE LIST FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS BUT IF THERE'S SOME ITEMS THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAPTURE TO MAKE SURE WE BRING THOSE ARE A FEW FORWARD TO COUNCIL THAT WE CAN WE KNOW SOMETHING THAT YOU SUPPORT SO I'M SORRY I'M JUST I, I GET PLANS AND SORT OF SPEAKING FOR THE GROUP I THINK HOW WE PRESENT THIS TO THE PUBLIC IS REALLY CRITICAL HAVE WE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AND WHAT'S OUR PURPOSE IN MOVING FORWARD AND I THINK A VERY SHORT LAYMAN'S DESCRIPTION OF THOSE TWO THINGS WOULD BE HELPFUL. WELL I WOULD ALSO ADD THAT WITH NOT JUST THE PHILOSOPHERS PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW OF WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT ALSO ANY RELEVANT DATA THAT'S BEEN COLLECTED THAT CAN BE INCLUDED TO PROVE THAT ISSUE TO SHOW AND CAN LEAVE IT AT THAT. BUT I ALSO WANT TO WITH REGARD TO I KNOW EVERYONE ALWAYS TAKES GOOD NOTES OF WHAT WE SAY DURING THESE MEETINGS TO INCORPORATE AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT MY COMMENTS THUS FAR HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. OKAY THANK YOU.
AND IF YOU CAN SPEED ALONG AND LET THE COMMITTEE MAKE ANY COMMENTS THEY CHOOSE MAKE YEAH THIS IS ALL IN YOUR POCKET AND PHASE TWO AND TABLE OF CONTENTS .
I SAID ONCE WE COMPLETE PHASE ONE AND HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE NEED FOCUS OUR EFFORTS ON MITIGATION STRATEGIES, OUR STRUCTURES POLICY, ORDINANCES ETC. WE WILL AMEND THE CONTRACT AND MOVE FORWARD ON THAT. HERE'S THE OUTLIER THE TIME LINE SUPER SPECIFIC HARD DATES I REALIZE WE WILL INTEND TO MEET THOSE BUT YOU SEE THAT CULMINATES A FINAL COMPLETE STUDY BY THE END OF 2024 WE WILL HAVE THIS IN THE BOOKS AND AGAIN THIS IS FOCUSED CLIMATE ADAPTATION TO SEA LEVEL RISE. THERE CAN BE OTHER RESILIENCE EFFORTS WE EXPAND ON THAT. WE'LL DO SO YOU KNOW CARBON, FOOTPRINT FOREST FIRES ETC. AND SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS VERY MUCH. I'M GLAD YOU'RE AS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THIS CHALLENGE. SURE. YES.
NO, NO. WE'RE VERY EXCITED TODAY. ALL RIGHT.
THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON WHERE WE NEED GO.
I BEG YOUR PARDON? YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THERE'S A CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE PROPOSED APPROACH TO COMPLETE STRENGTH WITH SWOT RESILIENCE SERVER FIRST A SECOND SECOND ANY OTHER CONVERSATION NOT AT THIS TIME TODAY.
WOULD YOU CALL THE ROLE PLEASE? ABSOLUTELY. MR. STANFORD? YES, MISS BECKER? YES, MISS BRYSON. YES.
[6D. Presentation and Discussion on the Creation of Hilton Head Island District Plans and Land Management Ordinance (LMO) Updates.]
MOTION CARRY. THANK YOU SUNDAY. GREAT JOB.APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION ON CREATION OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND DISTRICT PLANS LAND MANAGEMENT UPDATE LISTENING I SHOULD AT THE OUTSET YES YES YES. YEP. SO I ASSISTANT DIRECTOR BEEN
[01:10:09]
ADDED AS A STANDING AGENDA ITEM SO WE'LL REPORT ON THIS MONTHLY TO THIS.TODAY'S UPDATE IS ABOUT THE ALAMO PROJECT PRIMARILY AND WHERE WE ARE WITH THE PHASE FOUR ALAMO AMENDMENT SET AT THE APRIL 18TH TOWN COUNCIL MEETING THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT FAMILY COMPOUND AND FAMILY SUBDIVISION TO THE PHASE FOUR SET AND WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT AND IT DOES HAVE IMPLICATIONS TO THE TIMELINE AND DELIVERY OF THE OVERALL PHASE FOUR AMENDMENT SET AND. WE'VE IDENTIFIED WE'VE MET WITH SOME AS WELL AS WITH STAFF TO BEGIN TO IDENTIFY WHAT SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WE MIGHT BE FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR AS FAR AS THE FAMILY COMPONENT FAMILY SUBDIVISION AND THEN WE'VE ALSO IDENTIFIED AND ANTICIPATED NEW SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY OF THE PHASE FOUR SET AND THAT SCHEDULE WAS ALSO CHANGED A LITTLE BIT SINCE THE OF THIS MEMO WE NOW AN ESTIMATED LEGAL REVIEW TIMEFRAME FOR THE PHASE FOUR SET THAT'S LENGTHIER THAN WE WERE ANTICIPATING LEGAL REVIEW IS GOING TO TAKE 60 DAYS THE AMENDMENTS IS SOMEWHERE IN THE RANGE OF 120 PAGES OR SO OF CODE AMENDMENT INCLUDED IN PHASE FOUR. AND SO FOR THAT REASON THE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED HERE IN THE MEMO WHERE WE ANTICIPATING STILL BEING ABLE TO ADVERTISE IN MAY HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK THE LIKELIHOOD OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR PHASE FOUR IS IN JULY AND THEN THE RESULTING PHASE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS WOULD BE STARTING EITHER IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER DEPENDING ON THE DATE OF THAT ADVERTISEMENT AS IT REQUIRES A 30 DAY AND ADVANCE PUBLIC NOTICE AND THEN IT WOULD RESULT IN COMPLETION OR FINAL REVIEW IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER. SO ALSO WE HAD ANOTHER ATTACHMENT THAT IDENTIFIED I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS LOADED IN THERE THAT HAD THE PHASE FOUR DETAILS AS UP IS THIS ONE LOADED? OH OKAY.
THANK YOU. IS THAT IT? OKAY SO INCLUDED IN PHASE FOUR THEN WITH FAMILY COMPOUND AND FAMILY SUBDIVISION WE ADDED IT TO THE CONTENT THAT IS INCLUDED FOR PHASE FOUR WE ARE STILL PLANNING ON DELIVERING CONTENT HERE IN PHASE FOUR AS ONE SET THROUGH A REVIEW AND APPROVAL. I JUST WANTED TO HEAR FEEDBACK ON THE TIMELINE CHANGES AND WHAT THE INPUT IS FROM THE COMMITTEE ON ON THOSE CHANGES I THINK YOU HAVE IT ON SOME OF THE IMPORTANT SUBJECT MATTER THAT WE'VE EMPHASIZED NEEDED TO BE SPEEDED UP.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT AND I THINK YOU'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
YEAH, THANKS FOR ASKING. I THINK YOU PROBABLY KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK ABOUT AND THAT IS AT OUR MARCH MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE WE SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO SPEED UP AND MAYBE I THINK THERE WAS A SUGGESTION OF HAVING FOR A AND BE ON STANDARDS THAT ARE OF GREAT CONCERN RIGHT NOW IN THE AND THAT IS MASS SCALE DENSITY HEIGHT AND FLOOR AREA RATIO AND AND I APPRECIATE THAT THERE ARE HUNDRED AND 20 PAGES AND SO A LONGER TIME PERIOD IS NEEDED FOR THAT. BUT I THINK IT'D BE MUCH EASIER ON US TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT OFF A SMALLER CHARGE AND FOCUS ON THOSE KEY AREAS AND I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE HAVE THAT DONE AND THAT THE SCHEDULE BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE THAT.
LET'S ADDRESS YES PLEASE. I TOLD HER I WENT OVER NAME OF SHAWN CORNWALL SINCE THAT TIME AND I'VE TALKED TO THE TOWN MANAGER ABOUT THAT KNOWING THE THE ADDED TIME FOR LEGAL REVIEW OF 660 DAY PERIOD AS WELL AS THE REQUEST FROM COUNCIL MEMBER OF COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT THE FAMILY COMPOUND SUBDIVISION AND I NEED TO MOVE THAT ALONG SO I'M PREPARED TO ADVANCE THOSE FEW KEY ITEMS AT A QUICKER PACE IF THAT'S THE DESIRE OF THE COMMITTEE AND WE WILL CONTINUE ON THE PHASE FOUR SCHEDULE WITH A BALANCE THAT MESSAGES OUTLINE INCLUDING THE FAMILY COMPOUND IN THE SUBDIVISION BECAUSE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME IF IT'S A 60 DAY REVIEW PROCESS WITH LEGAL YOU KNOW WE MIGHT PROVIDE THOSE AMENDMENTS 15
[01:15:01]
DAYS INTO THAT LEGAL REVIEW BUT THEY'LL JUST BE AT THE END OF THAT REVIEW SO I'M CONCERNED BUT I'M I AGAIN I'M I'M READY TO ADVANCE THOSE KEY AREAS RELATED TO FLOOR AREA SO ESPECIALLY THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS THERE ARE SOME RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS THAT ALREADY HAVE FOUR YEAR RATIO AND OVERLAYS AND SO I WOULD NOT SUGGEST THAT WE IMPACT THOSE CURRENT FOUR YEAR RATIOS BUT FOCUS ON THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE THEM DO THAT PARKING CALIBRATION AND LOOK AT HEIGHT AND A FEW OTHER THINGS RELATED TO THE THAT'S BEEN EXPRESSED IN EACH RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTIAL AREA AND. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT FOR A AND FOR ME BUT WE CAN BASED ON THE LATEST TIMELINE AND DEVELOPMENT ADVANCE A FEW OF THESE AMENDMENTS AT A A QUICKER AND TRY TO GET THOSE OVER.SO WE HAVE THE ADVERTISMENT HERE IF WE WERE AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER WHATEVER AND THE OTHER IS FOR DESCRIPTION WHAT ARE WE FOR OR A FOR I BELIEVE MAMA WHAT MISSY ALBUM IF SHE TO I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN ADVANCE THESE FEW I'M GOING TO SAY 3 TO 5 AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD THE I GUESS FOR CHART AT LEAST SHORT TERM PROTECTION UNTIL THE WHOLE CODE IS CALIBRATED 100% WITH OUR PLAN AND WITH DISTRICT PLANNING THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH I THINK WE CAN STILL MEET MORE OF THE ORIGINAL TIMELINE.
I THINK WE CAN ADVERTISE THOSE LATE THIS MONTH OR VERY EARLY IN JUNE WITH A 30 DAY REQUIREMENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND WE'VE WE'VE TALKED TO OR WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A SPECIAL MEETING IF NEEDED LIKE NOT BEING BOUND TO THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING A PLANNING COMMISSION AND ESPECIALLY WE KNOW AS WE GET THROUGH SUMMER THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DISRUPTION AND THE NUMBER OF MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE SO BUT AM I LIKE AM I INTERPRETING CORRECTLY THAT THIS WILL BE OUR BEST TO DEAL WITH THOSE ISSUES AT THIS TIME BUT THERE MAY BE MODIFICATION SESSIONS WHEN WE'RE DOING THE OVERALL ALAMO REWRITE IS THAT YES, SIR. BECAUSE I'M WE WON'T HAVE THE BENEFIT OF FULL DISTRICT PLANNING TO TALK WITH EACH ONE OF THESE GEOGRAPHIES. WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THEM WE WANT TO PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS SO THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THE AMASS THE SCALE THAT THOSE KEY ELEMENTS PARKING IN A SHORTER PERIOD SO AND ARE YOU FOCUSED ONLY ON RESIDENTIAL AT THIS POINT ARE YOU ALSO THINKING ABOUT COMMERCIAL AT THIS POINT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT REALLY PROTECTING THE SINGLE FAMILY AREAS AND WE CALL THEM OUR DISTRICT NOT OUR DBA.
OUR DISTRICTS ARE IN FOR OUR DISTRICTS ARE IN FOR A 12 THOSE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS SINGLE PRIMARILY FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. IT'S DIFFICULT TO CALIBRATE A FOR A RATIO FOR OUR MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT DEVELOPMENTS AT THE SAME PACE.
SO I THINK WE CAN GET OUT AHEAD OF THE SINGLE FAMILY EXPECTATIONS AND ADDRESS THOSE IN THE SHORT TERM. AND THEN AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE BALANCE OF PHASE FOUR AND THEN IN PHASE FIVE HAVE A MUCH BETTER PLAN THAT MEETS THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE COMMUNITY AND COUNCIL THAT CLEARED OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR PLANNING COMMITTEE.
YOU HAVE A COMMENT IT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR YOU YOU TO SHOW US THE EXIST THING FOR AREA RATIOS IN THESE OTHER DISTRICTS? ABSOLUTELY. I HAVE A QUESTION SO IF YOU ARE IF YOU HAVE A RESORT SINCE IT WASN'T A SEPARATE CATEGORY THAT YOU JUST TALKED BUT THE PLAN MOVING FORWARD FOR DEVELOPMENT IT IS SUPPOSED THAT BEING OFFERED AS A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENT WHAT ELSE DOES IT FALL UNDER QUESTION FOR THE FLOOR AREA RATIO AND APPLY TO THE THE INTENDED USE OUTLINED IN THE APPLICATION OF SINGLE FAMILY IS ALLOWED IN AN ALREADY DISTRICT AND ITS PERMIT THE PERMIT THAT COMES IN IS FOR SINGLE FAMILY. IT WOULD BE BOUND BY A FOUR YEAR RATIO IF ONE EXISTED ALREADY AT THIS RIGHT AT THIS TIME WE'RE SAYING LET'S FOCUS ON THE OUR OUR M OUR S SO RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST HOW THAT'S BEEN MANIPULATED. AND SO MY QUESTION WHEN SOMEONE COMES IN TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPING CODES AND CRITERIA THAT IS HELD DIFFERENTLY THAN THOSE FOR RESORT DEVELOPMENT WHICH ARE MORE RESTRICTIVE IN

IN THAT MANIPULATION HAS TO HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY BUILDING WHAT WE SAY WE'RE BUILDING IN THOSE AREAS. SO I TAKE OUR POINT AND I THINK THAT TO THE DEGREE THAT YOU CAN ADDRESS THAT AS A PART OF THIS I THINK IT WOULD BE VALUABLE IF YOU CAN'T ADVISE US WHY NOT YEAH I WE HAD A LITTLE SIDEBAR THERE I DIDN'T MEAN TO DISRESPECT YOUR COMMENT BUT BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK IT CAN BE IT CAN APPLY TO SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTY DISTRICTS IT'S THE INTENDED USE SOME WAY IS GOING TO GO THROUGH THE DRAFTING AND SOME OTHER PROVISION WOULD PREVENT FROM ADVANCING AND HOLDING UP THE OTHER.WE WILL LET YOU KNOW BUT WE WILL TO INCORPORATE THE RENT THE SINGLE FAMILY AND ALREADY IN THIS EARLY ACTION ITEM I SUSPECT IT'S THE CONSENSUS OF THE FOUR OF US THAT WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FOR A FORWARD AS EXPEDITIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE AND THE ONE LAST COMMENT IS THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD CAME TO THE TOWN COUNCIL THE PREVIOUS TOWN COUNCIL AND SAID THEY HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THE MASS AND SCALE AND AND TO THE POINT OF COUNCILMEMBER BECKER I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT RESORT DISTRICT AND THE LACK OF DENSITY AND THE IMPACT OF MASS AND SCALE AND I JUST IF YOU WOULD LOOK BACK AT THE REQUEST OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD TO MAKE SURE AND I DON'T KNOW I CAN'T REMEMBER ZONING DISTRICT THAT PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL WILL YEAH IT WAS UP IN MITCHELL VILLE AND A LARGE STRUCTURE ON THE ON THE THAT LOOKED LIKE A BIG WALL IS WHAT I REMEMBER SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A LOT OF INPUT FROM THE BOARDS AND THE RESIDENTS HERE THAT WE'LL BE EVALUATING AS PART OF THIS AND SO WERE WE WILL WORK TO EXECUTE IT FOR A AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN AND NOT HOLDING IT UP AS PART OF THE WHOLE PACKAGE ALLOW US TO ADVERTISE IN LATE MAY OR 1ST OF JUNE RATHER THAN IN JULY YOU KNOW MIDDLE OF JULY AND WHEN LOOKING AT THIS AND I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT BUT WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THIS I JUST WANT A WORD OF CAUTION BECAUSE I HEAR LOTS OF LITTLE RED FLAGS FOR I HEAR LOTS OF LITTLE RED FLAGS THAT ARE GETTING RAISED FOR ME EVERY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD ARM OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE SHOULD HAVE THE SAME CONSIDERATION WITH REGARD TO FLORIDA RATIO DENSITY ETC. THAT THE OTHERS HAVE AND THAT NO PARTICULAR COMMUNITY SHOULD BE HELD OUT AS DIFFERENT BASED ON SOME OTHER CRITERIA OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT INDEED IT IS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND SO DON'T YOU KNOW I I DO HEAR RED FLAGS IN TERMS OF SOME OF THOSE THINGS BUT I WANT TO CLEARLY STATE THAT IT'S MY EXPECTATION TO SEE THAT ALL RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS ARE HELD AND AT SAME STANDARD AND PROVIDED THE SAME PROTECTIONS ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE THE GATES WHERE THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT DON'T HAVE AS MR. ANTHONY MENTIONED THEIR OWN ARCHWAYS AND COVENANTS AND REALIZE STRICTLY AND SOLELY WHAT THE ALAMO PROVIDES FOR THEM AND HAS FAILED THEM IN THE PAST. AND SO THIS IS THE TIME TO CLEAN THAT UP AND PROTECT RESIDENTS I UNDERSTAND 100%. SO WE'LL PROVIDE THE DETAILS ON THE EXISTING OVERLAYS THE HALFWAY RATIOS ALSO PROVIDE DATA ON EXISTING DEVELOPMENT VOLUMES AND INTENSITIES USING CHLORINE RATIO OF EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND DISTRICTS AND THEN BRING FORWARD YOU PROTECTION IN THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS BUT ALSO MAYBE IT'S A USE CONDITION FOR ANY SINGLE FAMILY REGARDLESS OF DISTRICT THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED. SO LET US DO THAT RESEARCH QUICKLY.
WE'VE ALREADY GOT A FEW THINGS THAT ARE BEING RESEARCHED AND AND WE'LL PLAY WE'LL BREAK THAT OUT AND BRING THAT FOR A AT A MUCH QUICKER PACE THAN THE BALANCE OF THINGS.
SO WITH THE NEXT MEETING BE WITH THE ALAMO COMMITTEE IN PLANNING COMMISSION TO COME BACK TO US THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS GOT THEY'VE GONE BACK TO CONSOLIDATED PLANNING COMMISSION DOES OKAY SO IT WOULD BE AT ONCE WE ADVERTISE IT'S A 30 DAY PERIOD AND IT WOULD BE THAT 3030 DAY PLANNING COMMISSION AT LEAST I THINK THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THEIR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION THEN COME BACK TO THE COMMITTEE FOR RECOMMENDATION TO COUNSEL. SO I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE THE KEY PART IS THE IS TO GET THE AMENDMENTS ADVERTISED BECAUSE ON THAT WAY WE'VE GOT SOMETHING TO TO LEAN ON OR TO JUSTIFY THE JUST TO MAKE SURE I'M I'M CLEAR AND IN USE CONDITION AS YOU SAID AND I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT A USE CONDITION STATED TO BE ONE BUILDING THIS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR A LARGER FLOOR AREA RATIO THAT THAT IS RESIDENTIAL FOR A RATIO MEANS BUT THIS MIGHT INTUITION IS TELLING ME THAT THERE ARE
[01:25:03]
DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE ISLAND THAT MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT FAA YARDS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SINGLE FAMILY. ABSOLUTELY AND EVEN THE THREE OVERLAYS HAVE DIFFERENT FLOOR ELEVATIONS THERE THERE'S A RANGE NOT YOU IT'S NOT A REAL WIDE RANGE BUT .45 F ARE 2.55.THE CHARACTER OF JONESBORO IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE CHARACTER OF NORTH FOREST BEACH AND THERE MAY BE DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT APPLY THAT ONES ONE THAT'S WHERE MY MIND IS GOING IN THE CHARACTER OF OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS WHICH HAVE BEEN DISTORTED IN THE PAST RECENT YEARS AND NEED TO BE RETURNED TO THOSE EXPECTED WHEN THOSE PROPERTY ORIGINAL PROPERTY OWNERS BOUGHT THEIR LAND. SO WE'LL LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S A RATIO OF SIZE AND ALL THAT AND I DON'T WANT TO ANNOUNCE ONE WAY CAUTIOUS NOT TO READ INTO THIS BECAUSE THERE'S SOME DETERMINATION BY THE TOWN THAT THAT'S AN AREA WHERE PERHAPS BIGGER CLEARER RATIOS ARE APPROPRIATE AND THOSE INTENDED USES CAN BE EXPANDED TO A DISTRICT WHERE SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE ALLOWED IN FULL FORCE. THOSE ARE NOT DECISIONS THAT I THINK THAT I'M PREPARED OR WOULD BE EVER PREPARED TO TO SUPPORT THAT'S SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M REALLY CLEAR I'LL BE WATCHING THIS. I WANT IT I WANT IT MOVE FORWARD AS A PRIORITY IT IN MY MIND THE CHANGES IN THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE WILL VERY MUCH HELP WITH REGARD TO ANY FUTURE PHASE TWO OR ANY OF THE LIKE WITH REGARD TO HOW WE SEE SHORT TERM RENTALS IT'S HARDER TO PACK 16 PEOPLE INTO A SMALLER UNIT, 24 PEOPLE INTO A SMALLER HOME AND NOT EXPLOIT THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS IF IF WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE PHYSICAL CAPACITY TO DO SO. SO IT'S A TWO PRONGED BOTH AND CAN I SAY THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING THE WAY THAT SHORT TERM MODEL CAPABILITIES AN EVALUATION AND DATA STANDPOINT ARE GREAT WHERE WE'RE GETTING EVALUATION OF THESE KEY ELEMENTS THE ALAMO WE'RE ALL LEARNING AND TRYING TO BRING IT ALL TOGETHER SO IT MAKES SENSE HAPPY I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO WORK ON FOR A I MEAN WE'VE ALREADY DONE A BUNCH OF WORK I WANT TO BRING IT FORWARD AND WE WOULD NEVER OBVIOUSLY WALK WILL PRESENT THE CASE AND THE OPTIONS AND AND RATIONALE BEHIND BUT ULTIMATELY IT'S UP TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND TOWN COUNCIL AT END OF THE DAY TO MAKE A POLICY CHANGE THAT THEY ALL SUPPORT AND HOPE. I HOPE WHEN WE BRING IT FORWARD IT'S A UNANIMOUS VOTE BECAUSE. IT'S A LONG OVERDUE FIGURE. IT'S HELPING TO GIVE YOU THESE THOUGHTS NOW. AND JOHN, THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT THROUGHOUT THAT.
I APPRECIATE THAT AND SEE ANYTHING ELSE FOR US THAT'S ABOUT IT.
THANK YOU. OKAY. SO I SAY ONE QUICK THING WITH REGARD TO THE TIME FOR ADVERTISEMENT. I APPRECIATE THAT WE'VE GOT TO DO THAT. WE'VE GOT TO GET ALL THE STUFF LINED, MAKE SURE WE DO IT ACCURATELY BUT JUST LOOKING THE CALENDAR THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN JUNE WOULD NOT MEET UNTIL JUNE FIRST NEXT WEEK THEY'RE MEETING ON MAY 17. SO I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK OUT THERE IN ADELAIDE OUR COLLEAGUES ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION WHEN STAFF IS READY IF A SPECIAL MEETING COULD BE CALLED TO MOVE THIS FORWARD I'D APPRECIATE THAT CONSIDERATION AND OTHER THAN THAT IF YOU COULD SEE MY FEET THEY'RE DOING A HAPPY DANCE GLAD TO HEAR IT'S STANDARD ADJOURN THANK YOU
