CLOSE CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY BEAUFORT COUNTY.
WE HAVE NEW TECHNOLOGY AND AS YOU SEE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PULL THE MICROPHONE TO YOUR MOUTH ANYMORE,
SO WE PROBABLY CAN EVEN HEAR YOU FROM THIS ONE.
ANYWAY, UM, MAYOR WILLIAMS IS ON VACAY, UM, LUCKY GUY, OUR TOWN MANAGER'S ON A VACATION.
IT'S THE SEASON TO HAVE FUN, I GUESS.
UM, BUT WE WILL CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRESENCE AND PARTICIPATION.
UM, THIS IS THE JUNE 27TH MEETING AND I THINK THE COUNTY WAS JARED'S COMING, BUT I THINK HE WAS UNSURE IF IT WAS HARDY BILL OR BLUFFTON.
UM, WE DO PING PONG FOR ANYONE NEW HERE.
WE'LL BE IN HARDY V THE NEXT TIME.
SO WE GO BACK AND FORTH FROM HARDY V TO BLUFFTON.
UM, SO WE'VE CALLED THIS MEETING TO ORDER AND I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY OLD BUSINESS UNLESS ANYONE ON THIS, UM, COMMITTEE HAS ANY OLD BUSINESS THEY WANNA DISCUSS.
LAST MONTH WE TALKED ABOUT THE, OUR NEXT BIG PROJECT THAT WE CAN DO REGIONALLY AND ITS JUST LOOKING AT OUR GROWTH BOUNDARIES AND THE ZONING AND ALL GETTING TOGETHER TO UM, TRY TO GET A HANDLE ON WHERE WE CONNECT EACH OTHER, HOW WE CAN ALL BE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THIS UPRISING DEVELOPMENT ALL AROUND.
SO WE HAVE A NEW COMMITTEE PUT TOGETHER, UM, COUNCILWOMAN ALICE HOWARD IS GOING TO LEAD THE COMMITTEE UNTIL THEY ALL CHOOSE SOMEONE, BUT SHE STEPPED UP TO GET IT GOING.
UM, WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS THE STRUCTURE AND THE GOALS.
AND THIS IS ALICE AND I WILL KIND OF GO BACK AND FORTH ON THIS, BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, RAISE YOUR HAND AND SPEAK AND SEE WHERE WE ARE AND HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE.
UM, THE MEMBERS ARE COUNCILWOMAN HOWARD.
UM, SHE'LL BE OUR LIAISON, BUT SHE'S GONNA BE OUR CHAIR UNTIL THEY NOMINATE A CHAIR FROM BUFORT, KURT FRIES.
DID I RIGHT SAY THAT? RIGHT FROM, UM, BUFORT COUNTY, ROB MERCHANT FROM BLUFFTON, DAN FRAZIER, HARDY V, MATT DAVIS, HILTON, HEAD ISLAND, SEAN COLON, JASPER COUNTY, DANNY LUCAS, PORT ROYAL, NOAH CREST, AND YEMMA C MATT GARNS.
UM, AND WE DIDN'T EXPECT ANY OF THEM TO HAVE A PRESENTATION TODAY, BUT WE THOUGHT WE'D GO OVER BRIEFLY KIND OF THE COMMITTEE WHAT'LL INCLUDE GOALS AND THEN IF ANYONE IS, WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS THAT SENT THEIR GROWTH BOUNDARIES.
IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH 'EM, CARRIE HAS 'EM UPLOADED.
WE CAN DO IT, BUT I'M NOT PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT TO DO IT.
AND I THINK WE HAVE BUFORD CITY, BUFORD TOWN OF BLUFFTON, CITY OF HARVILLE, AND I DID SEND THOSE IN.
WE SHARE THE SAME GROWTH BOUNDARIES.
SO THE DOCUMENTS THAT I DID SEND INCLUDE ALL THAT INFORMATION.
I'M NOT SURE I'VE SENT IT INTO TWO DIFFERENT EMAIL CASES, SO IT WAS SENT.
SO WE'LL SEND AN EMAIL BACK OUT TO, UM, TO GET THOSE IN.
ALICE, YOU WANNA ADD IN OR YOU WANT ME TO JUST CONTINUE? GO AHEAD.
UM, SO WE ARE GONNA DECIDE TODAY IF WE CAN OR AT LEAST GET A GOOD IDEA OF IT, THE GOALS, UM, THAT WE WOULD LIKE THIS GROUP TO MEET THE MEETING DATES AND FREQUENCY.
I THINK THAT COULD BE UP TO THE COMMITTEE RIGHT.
LET THEM DECIDE THAT ONCE WE LET 'EM KNOW OUR GOALS.
AND ALSO DEAR PROFESSIONALS, MAYBE THEY HAVE SOME IDEAS ON GOALS TOO.
OR IS ANYONE HERE FROM THAT COMMITTEE THAT I MENTIONED? MATT, WE HAVE MATT.
SO WE HAVE BLUFFTON, WE HAVE DAN, WE HAVE UM, MATT, WE HAVE MATT DAVIS.
UM, SO WE HAVE A, YOU KNOW, Y'ALL CHIME IN.
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SITTING HERE DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU DON'T HAVE, HAVE GOOD THOUGHTS.
AND ANYTHING ELSE Y'ALL WANNA ADD, I'M TAKING NOTES AND WE'LL HAVE MAYOR WILLIAMS PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.
UM, REVIEW GROWTH BOUNDARIES AND ZONING DIFFERENCES OF CONTIGUOUS BORDERS.
THESE ARE SOME SUGGESTED GOALS.
REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS THAT COULD BE PRESERVED, PARTICULARLY WHERE THEY CROSS JURISDICTIONAL BORDERS.
RECOMMEND ZONING AND ARE PRESERVATION ANDOUS FOR CONTIGUOUS BORDERS.
RECOMMEND BIKE PEDESTRIAN TRAILS TO CONNECT JURISDICTIONS.
COMPARE ZONING DIFFERENCES SUCH AS TREE REPLACEMENT, ELEVATIONS, DENSITY,
[00:05:02]
ET CETERA.AND RECOMMEND CHANGES AND RECOMMEND OUS TO PREVENT ZONE SHOPPING.
Y'ALL ARE ALL LOOKING AND LOOK HAPPY.
WE MIGHT ALREADY HAVE OUR GOALS, IDENTIFY POTENTIAL TRAFFIC BOTTLENECKS AND RECOMMEND ACTION.
ANYTHING ELSE? SO IT'S OPEN FOR ANYONE.
I'LL GO AROUND THE TABLE, THEN I'LL GO AROUND THE ROOM.
YEAH, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL SPEAK UP A LITTLE BIT.
UM, FROM THE, YOU KNOW, FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF THE COUNTY STANDPOINT, WE WENT THROUGH A NUMBER OF THESE ISSUES BACK WITH THE NORTHERN REGIONAL PLAN, I THINK IN WHAT, MID TWO THOUSANDS? I WASN'T, I WASN'T AROUND AT THE TIME, BUT, UM, I THINK MOST OF US BETWEEN THE CITY AND I DON'T WANNA SPEAK FOR PORT ROYAL, BUT, UM, I THINK PRETTY SATISFIED WITH THE NORTHERN REGIONAL PLAN.
SO MAYBE SOME REVIEW OF THAT BY, BY THE COMMITTEE TO SORT OF REINFORCE THE COMMITMENTS WE ALL MADE.
UM, ON, ON SOME OF THE SUGGESTED ITEMS. I WOULD, I WOULD ASK, UM, LIKE RECOMMEND BIKE P TRAILS TO CONNECT JURISDICTIONS THANKS TO THE COUNTY'S GOOD WORK A YEAR OR SO AGO.
I SEEM TO RECALL THE, THE CITY APPROVING, UH, I FORGET WHAT YOU CALL THE THING.
UM, SO I, I WAS SORT OF UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY THAT WAS AT LEAST COMPLETED.
THIS IS JUST MY OPINION IS PRETTY GOOD ON THAT, THAT GOAL.
SO WE COULD JUST, YOU KNOW, SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE.
BUT I THINK THIS IS IN NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY.
AND THEN THE TRAFFIC JUST DOWN BIKE TRAILS.
I KNOW WE HAVE THAT RIGHT FROM THE COUNTY CAUSE WE'RE DEALING WITH IT NOW, RIGHT DAN? SO MAYBE IT'S JUST GETTING THE PLANS TOGETHER AND SEEING WHO'S MISSING.
SO MAYBE IT'S, UM, YEAH, CUZ FROM THE CITY'S STANDPOINT, WE'RE USING THE, THE COUNTY'S PLAN IS KIND OF A, A GUIDING DOCUMENT.
AND THEN I THINK OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO FILL IN THE CONNECTIVITY TO WHERE THE, THE COUNTY ANTICIPATES TO MAKE THAT, YOU KNOW, MORE, MORE OF A COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK.
BUT THAT'S, I THINK THE INDIVIDUAL MUNICIPALITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES.
UM, AFTER WE LOOK AT THE COUNTY'S LARGER PLAN.
THE OTHER SORT OF THOUGHT I'D THROW OUT, YOU'VE GOT, UM, G IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL TRAFFIC BOTTLENECKS AND A RECOMMEND ACTION.
UM, I, I MIGHT SUGGEST THAT LATZ, UM, AND YOU KNOW, DIS DISAGREE WITH ME, BUT IS LATZ THE SORT OF THE CLEARING HOUSE FOR US TO BRING TRANSP REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION ISSUES, UM, DISCUSS PRIORITIES AND FUNDING MECHANISMS AND ALL THE JURISDICTIONS ARE IN THE ROOM TO, TO SORT OF CLEAR THAT OUT.
SO IF THIS COMMITTEE'S LOOKING AT THAT TOO, IS THAT A BIT DUPLICATIVE? I, I AGREE VINCENT, SINCE WE, SINCE THE CITY AND THE TOWN JUST JOINED THE, UM, METROPOLITAN AREA AND THE COUNTY VOTED FOR IT LAST NIGHT TOO, SO CAN Y'ALL, CAN Y'ALL HEAR OKAY.
UM, JARED JUST WALKED IN TOO, BUT I THINK LATS IT MIGHT BE THE MORE APPROPRIATE INSTEAD OF THIS GROUP LOOKING AT THAT AND WE'VE ALREADY GOT A LOT OF THINGS IN THE WORKS UNLESS PEOPLE IN JASPER OR OR UM, HARDY BILL FEEL DIFFERENTLY ABOUT THAT.
BUT WE'RE ALL PART OF, EXCEPT ACY, WE'RE ALL PART OF THAT.
WELL, NO EMBASSY'S PART OF LABS.
DO, I'M KIND OF KIND OF LOOKING AT ANYONE ON THE STAFFING SIDE, UH, PLANNING SIDE.
DO YOU AND HARRY PUT THIS TOGETHER? IS IT TO GIVE LIKE MEAT ON THE BONE TO HOLD OFF OR CHANGE DEVELOPMENT IF WE HAD SOME SOMETHING THROUGH LASS THAT SHOWED YOUR HOTSPOTS OR TRAFFIC? I MEAN, IS THAT SOMETHING I'M JUST KIND OF LOOKING AT YOU, DAN OR ANYBODY WHO'S IN THIS WORLD.
IT'S UNDER LAST PURVIEW, BUT, AND THEY'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PRODUCTS THAT ARE, THEY'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, SIX AT ROUNDABOUT AND WITH, AND UH, AND SO AT A REGIONAL LEVEL, I GOTTA FIND SOMETHING THAT COVERS COUPLE DIFFERENT BOUNDARIES LAST THAT, BUT I DON'T SEE WHY WE COULD HAVE THAT AS PART OF THE DISCUSSION WITH THIS COMMITTEE IN COORDINATION WITH LA MAY MAYBE BRING IN SOMEONE FROM LA OR, OR SOMEONE STEPHANIE, OR JUST HAVE THAT CONNECTION.
BUT I AGREE WITH YOU, LET'S NOT TRY TO GET OUT OF A LANE WHERE WE ALREADY HAVE A GROUP THAT MEETS IT, DISCUSSES IT, BUT MAYBE SOME CONNECTION TO IT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO A WHOLE DIFFERENT, BECAUSE EVEN LATS HAS THE BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAILS.
WELL I JUST THINK YOU, WHOA, NOW WE HEAR HOT MIC.
UM, I JUST THINK YOU'VE, YOU'VE GOT A, YOU'VE GOT A PRETTY LARGE GOAL SET HERE AND IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE ASKING A, A COMMITTEE TO DO AND ALL THESE STAFF MEMBERS ARE, ARE VERY BUSY FOLKS WITH BUSY DAILY RESPONSIBILITIES.
SO I'M, I'M, I'M COGNIZANT OF BANDWIDTH OF, OF THE COMMITTEE.
UM, AND, AND SO TO THAT POINT, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL JUST ALSO, IF
[00:10:01]
YOU GO BACK TO THE NORTHERN REGIONAL PLAN, WHICH I THINK WE PROBABLY SHOULD SEND OUT TO, TO THE GROUP, UM, CUZ I, AGAIN, I BELIEVE IT'S AN EVERGREEN DOCUMENT THAT'S STILL GOT A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO THE NORTHERN PART OF THE BEFOR COUNTY.UM, BUT THE AGREEMENT FOR HOW WE DEVELOP IN THE NORTH WAS THAT ABOUT 60% OF THE LAND AREA IN NORTHERN BEAVER COUNTY WOULD MAY REMAIN RURAL.
AND THE OTHER 40% IS WHERE WE WOULD TRY TO SORT OF FILL IN AND CAPTURE GROWTH WITHIN URBAN SORT OF MENAL BOUNDARIES.
UM, YOU KNOW, DEPENDS ON YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OR WE'VE DONE A OKAY JOB AT THAT.
UM, BUT I, BUT I, I JUST WANNA SORT OF PUT OUT THERE THAT AT LEAST IN THE NORTH, OUR JURISDICTIONS ARE GONNA DEVELOP DIFFERENTLY.
AND SO THIS IDEA OF SORT OF HARMONIZING ZONING OR ALL OF OUR, OUR LAND USE REGULATIONS SO THAT UNINCORPORATED COUNTIES MATCH, UH, MUNICIPALITIES, I THINK, I THINK THEY SHOULD BE DIFFERENT.
AND UM, I DON'T WANT TO TELL JASPER COUNTY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO, BUT I THINK YOU, YOU'VE STILL GOT SOME REAL OPPORTUNITY.
UM, AND I COMMEND JASPER COUNTY FOR PUTTING THE MORATORIUM ON THAT, THAT ONE LAND USE AREA SO YOU CAN KIND OF GET A HANDLE ON UM, WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH, WITH DENSITIES.
UM, BUT I THINK IT'S INCUMBENT ON US TO REALLY TRY TO CONCENTRATE GROWTH WITHIN THOSE MUNICIPAL AREAS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME WORKING TOGETHER TO PRECLUDE GROWTH IN THOSE UNINCORPORATED AREAS AND, AND SORT OF OUR RURAL PARTS OF THE COUNTY, YOU KNOW, SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTY THAT RULE ISSUE IS GONE AND THERE'S NO ROLLING THAT BACK.
UM, BUT IN TERMS OF HOW WE DO IMPACT FEES, HOW WE DO DEVELOPMENT FEES, HOW WE DO ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS, HOW WE DO LAND USE REGULATION, ALL OF THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE WORKING IN CONCERT, UH, WITH ONE ANOTHER IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE I THINK OUR PREFERRED OUTCOME IN LAND USE LONG TERM.
AND SO I HOPE THE COMMITTEE WILL SORT OF KEEP THAT AS THE END IN MIND AS THEY START PUTTING SOME, SOME POLICY.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, RELYING ON LAS IS A PROBLEM IN JASPER.
CAUSE THREE QUARTERS OF JASPER IS NOT COVERED BY THAT'S TRUE.
IN FACT THE MAJOR GROWTH AREAS THAT ARE COMING UP ARE OUTSIDE THE LAX GOT IT.
SO, YOU KNOW, DON'T DIS DON'T DISREGARD THE IDEA THAT MAX IS GONNA TAKE OVER EVERYTHING BECAUSE THERE IS A PROBLEM COMING UP.
I PUT LATZ AS A NOTE FROM JASPER'S POINT OF VIEW.
LATZ DOESN'T COVER ALL OF OUR SOLO ERA.
IT GOES UP TO 4 62 AND THEN IT STOPS AND RIGHT.
THE BACKUP IS WAY UP INTO THE BRIDGE SOMETIMES.
SO THAT'S REGARDING, UM, THE, THE G WHICH WAS IDENTIFY POTENTIAL TRAFFIC, BOTTLENECKS AND RECOMMEND ACTION.
I PUT THAT WE RANK THIS LOWER SHOULD LATS BE IN CHARGE.
HOWEVER, LATS DOESN'T COVER ALL OF THIS AND Y'ALL LATS ONLY HAS ONE PERSON THAT IS OUR STAFF RIGHT NOW.
SO WE CAN'T OVERLOAD LOW COG RIGHT NOW UNLESS WE ARE ALL ABLE IN LATS TO PROVIDE SOME BACKUP FOR WITH HER.
SO, WELL IN, IN MY SAYING THAT I'M JUST SAYING RECOGNIZE THAT YES.
DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S GONNA BE THE END DALTON ANSWER EVERYTHING.
I'LL GO THROUGH ALL OF ALL OF THIS.
I I JUST WANTED TO BUILD OFF THAT POINT AND G AND JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES, UM, THERE'S A LOT MORE AT PLAY THAN JUST WHAT LATS IS WORKING ON.
LATS IS IDENTIFYING STUDIES AND IDENTIFYING DOLLARS FOR FRACTION CONSTRUCTION, BUT THERE'S A LOCAL, UM, BUY-IN AND A LOCAL, UH, REQUIREMENT TO PARTICIPATE WHETHER FINANCIALLY OR THROUGH STAFF TO MAKE THESE PROJECTS SUCCEED.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE THIS COMMITTEE MAY BE ABLE TO COLLABORATE ON STRATEGIES AND IDEAS TO HELP THE, OUR INDIVIDUAL LOCAL RESTRICTIONS PARTICIPATE IN EXECUTING SOME OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
SO MAYBE THIS COMMITTEE IS NOT RECOMMENDING WHAT PROJECTS ARE BEING DONE, BUT THEY'RE IDENTIFYING HOW THEY CAN BE, UH, UH, ACTUALLY BROUGHT TO FRUITION.
NOT THEY SHOULD RECOMMEND, THEY SHOULD NOT RECOMMEND, THEY MAY NOT BE RECOMMENDING ACTUAL PROJECTS, BUT THEY MAY BE IDENTIFYING WAYS THAT THE JURISDICTION CAN WORK TOGETHER TO ACCOMPLISH THEM.
ANY OTHER, ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON THIS? I MEAN, I THINK THIS COMMITTEE ACTUALLY COULD GET TOGETHER AND RANK THESE ITEMS AFTER THEY HEAR OUR FEEDBACK.
AND ALICE WILL TAKE THAT BACK.
UM, REGARDING, UM, B THE BEAUFORT COUNTY HAS A GREEN GREEN MAP ALREADY.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF JASPER DOES OR NOT THAT IDENTIFIES HIGH PRIORITY AREAS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY.
WELL, I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE MORATORIUM IS.
THAT'S THE MOST, THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.
SO BECAUSE IT'S NEXT TO THE THE WATER, BUT I, UH, WE HAVE INFORMATION THAT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, WORK ON THAT AND THERE MAY BE OTHER WAYS.
SO I THINK B MIGHT BE EASIER THAN WE THINK.
[00:15:01]
I'VE GOT THAT.ANYONE ELSE? ANYONE FROM THE AUDIENCE HAVE THOUGHTS? THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE OUR GROWTH COMMITTEE.
THAT'S ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
ANYONE HAVE THOUGHTS ON ANY OF THIS? I'VE GOT ONE ADDITIONAL THOUGHT.
UM, AND TELL WHAT, WHAT YOU'RE READING.
WHICH ONE? WELL, I WAS GONNA SUGGEST A ANOTHER GOAL, A DIFFERENT GOAL.
UM, AND, AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IS IT WORTH SORT OF TAKING A LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT DEVELOPMENT DENSITIES ARE OUT THERE NOW? LOOK AT GROWTH PROJECTIONS FOR 20, 30 YEARS.
I THINK NORTHERN REGIONAL PLAN, IT DID THAT BACK IN THE MID TWO THOUSANDS.
UM, IT'S INTERESTING NOW TO SEE, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE MISSED THE MARK OR, OR EXCEEDED THE MARK.
UM, BUT WE'VE GOT OUR, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT DEVELOPMENT DENSITIES IN PLACE, WE'VE GOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS IN PLACE.
UM, IS IT WORTH SORT OF PUTTING ALL THAT IN ONE BUCKET SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT, WHAT COULD HAPPEN, UM, IF WE ALLOW SORT OF BUY RIGHT DEVELOPMENT TO, TO KEEP MOVING LIKE IT'S GOING.
I MEAN, AND I, I USE THE, WE WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO DO LADIES ON PLAN BACK IN 2017 AND, AND DID THAT EXERCISE.
UH, AND IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE TO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S LIKE 6,000 UNITS ON LADIES ISLAND TODAY.
THE FUTURE IS 8,000 ADDITIONAL UNITS.
AND THAT, THAT GOT SOME FOLKS' ATTENTION.
THAT TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE HAS REALLY GOTTA KEEP UP WITH THAT PACE.
SO IS IT, IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE ALL THIS PLANNING HORSEPOWER, UM, FROM THE, THE JURISDICTIONS TO BRING IN AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT SORT OF A FULL BUILD OUT SCENARIO LOOK LIKE? SO, UM, IS IT WORTH LOOKING AT WHAT DENSITIES ARE OUT THERE NOW? LOOK AT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND DENSITIES TO SHOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN AND WHAT IS ON THE BOOKS PRESENTATION COULD INCLUDE FIGURES FROM THIS AS WELL AS THE GROWTH BOUNDARY AREAS.
IT COULD BE KIND OF ALL COMPENSATED WE HAVE.
AND FOR THOSE ACTUALLY THAT MAYBE WE HAVEN'T RELAYED THIS ENOUGH.
EVERY SINGLE PRESENTATION EVER MADE WITH, SO LOCO IS ON THE HARDY V AND BLUFFTON WEBSITE.
SO IF ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD THOSE LINKS, PLEASE.
CARRIE, CAN I PUT YOU IN CHARGE?
CARRIE CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.
WE'VE HAD PRE, UH, BUFORT AND PORT ROYAL COMING.
WE'VE HAD THOSE PRESENTATIONS RECENTLY, I'D SAY IN THE LAST YEAR.
SO IT'D BE GOOD FOR ALL OF US TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THOSE THINGS AND THIS COMMITTEE COULD LOOK AT 'EM OKAY.
UM, I HAVE A MAP THAT, UH, KATIE WITH HARDY BILL SENT ME AND I FORWARDED ON TO JARED THAT REALLY SHOWS THAT IN HARDY BILL COMMUNITIES AND HOW MUCH DENSITY, AND I KNOW BLUFFTON HAS THAT MAP, SO THAT COULD BE SOMETHING, IF THAT'S A GOAL, UM, DOES IT FIT IF WE TAKE ONE AWAY, WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER ONE.
BUT AGAIN, THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO ALL OF THIS IN A DAY.
THEY CAN RANK IT AND COME BACK TO US.
AND ARE WE OKAY WITH THE RANKING? I WILL SAY THERE'S A LITTLE MORE URGENCY AND I, AND I WAS ON THOSE SOUTHERN, I WAS ON, I WAS HERE SADLY DURING THE NORTHERN REGIONAL PLAN OF THE SOUTHERN REGIONAL PLAN.
AND WESTON NEWTON WAS THE CHAIR AT THE TIME.
AND WESTON ALWAYS SAID, OUR COUNTY IS SO DIFFERENT.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING NORTH OF BROAD NOW WITH GROWTH AND I KNOW EVERYONE'S NERVOUS ABOUT IT, BUT THAT ALWAYS WAS GONNA BE MORE RURAL.
BLUFFTON, HILTON HEAD, BEAUFORT COUNTY, NOW, HARDY BILL, YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU'RE IN OR OUT OF THE TOWN.
AND WE ARE GONNA BE, WE ARE GROWING FASTER.
SO THE TWO I DON'T THINK WILL EVER BE THE SAME.
AND I THINK THIS COMMITTEE NEEDS TO KNOW IT, BUT THIS IS URGENCY ON OUR PART.
AND I THINK MAYOR WILLIAMS WILL ATTEST TO THAT.
AND ANYONE ON STAFF WILL TELL YOU THEY'RE KNOCKING AT THE DOOR AND THEY HONESTLY DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THEY LEAVE.
WE'RE ALL HERE LEFT WITH, WITH TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.
SO, UM, DID I RELAY YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE, YOU YOU ARTICULATED IT MUCH BETTER THAN I DID.
ANYONE ELSE? ANYONE OTHER THAN ITEM G, WHICH IS POTENTIAL BOTTLENECKS AND RECOMMEND ACTION AND B FOR AT LEAST FOR BUFORT COUNTY, THAT ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS.
ARE THERE ANY THAT, ARE THERE ANY THAT Y'ALL ARE LIKE, UGH, WHAT, WHO WAS HE, WHAT WAS HE THINKING ABOUT? ARE Y'ALL GOOD WITH THIS LIST? I, I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD THAT THE BENEFITS OF DOING THIS WILL REALLY HELP THE GREEN SPACE COMMITTEE AND THEY'RE MEETING NOW TRYING TO COME UP WITH THEIR PROCESSES.
UH, THE MONEY FROM THE GREEN SPACE CAN BE USED IN OTHER COUNTIES.
SO THIS WILL DOVETAIL WELL INTO THAT.
WHATEVER WE COME UP WITH AND WE'LL HELP THAT COMMITTEE MAKE DECISIONS ON WHERE THOSE DOLLARS ARE GONNA BE SPENT.
SO, UM, I THINK, YOU KNOW, JUST THE
[00:20:01]
LIGHT CAME ON, ALL OF THIS IS GONNA HELP THAT COMMITTEE MAKE THEIR DECISIONS.THAT KIND OF DOVETAILS INTO A THOUGHT I WAS HAVING IN SOME HAVE WE RECONCILED THE, THE NORTHERN REGION PLAN AND THAT DESIGNATION OF ZONING FOR RURAL AREAS WITH WHAT IS BY.
AND HAVE WE HAD ANY SUCCESSES AND DOES THAT DRIVE ANY DECISIONS RELATIVE TO PURCHASING GREEN SPACE OR DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS? MM-HMM.
WELL THAT'S, YEAH, I THINK WE'VE, THERE'S, I MEAN THE PINE VIEW TRACT ON, UH, LADIES ISLAND, THE COUNTY PURCHASED, I THINK OUT OF THE LADIES ON PLAN WAS, WAS PROACTIVE IN NATURE.
RIGHT? UH, BUT I THINK THESE THINGS, SO ALL SORT OF DOVETAIL INTO ONE ANOTHER.
LOOK, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT SORT OF BROAD ZONING DENSITIES AND WHERE GROWTH CAN OCCUR.
UM, IF WE LOOK AT HOW THE JURISDICTIONS CONNECT AND WHO'S ALLOWING WHAT THAT MIGHT HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THESE ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS.
UM, AS AN ASIDE, I'LL SAY, I KNOW THE OPEN LAND TRUST HAS FORMED A COMMITTEE AND SO I WOULD, I MIGHT SUGGEST THAT THEY'RE NOT A VOTING MEMBER OR AN EXOFFICIO, BUT THEY AT LEAST GET INVITED IN TO SORT OF PARTICIPATE IN, IN THE PROCESSING.
UM, BUT I'VE OFTENTIMES FIND OURSELVES, WE WE'RE REACTIVE, RIGHT? WE GET A, WE GET A PROJECT IN THE HOPPER, YOU KNOW, A DEVELOPER COMES OUT, MAKES APPLICATION, IT GETS HIGHLIGHTED AND THEN THERE'S ALL THIS CONSTERNATION AND TENSION TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE, HOW WE MAKE IT MORE APPROPRIATE.
UM, WHEN IF WE WERE, IF THIS COMMITTEE WORKS, WE COULD TAKE A MORE PROACTIVE SORT OF APPROACH OF IDENTIFYING THESE PARCELS BEFORE THAT PRESSURE, UM, IS MAYBE AS HOT AS IT, UM, AS IT IS WHEN YOU HAVE A PROJECT WHICH ALLOWS, I THINK TO ALICE'S POINT, GREEN SPACE COMMITTEE OR, YOU KNOW, STRATEGIES FOR US TO WORK TOGETHER TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE, HOW WE FIX THESE THINGS BEFORE.
UM, WE HAVE TO BE REACTIVE AND THE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY WITH THAT MONEY.
A LOT MORE THAN WHAT WE HAD WITH RURAL AND CRITICAL LANDS FUNDS.
SO IT CAN BE USED IN, UH, AREAS SUCH AS PATHWAYS AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
SO THIS WILL BENEFIT THAT GREATLY.
AND I HUG THIS COMMITTEE, WHICH YOU SEE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE IS SUCH A GOOD OVERALL COMMITTEE.
SO YOU HAVE YEMMA, C PORT, ROYAL, JA YEE, I WANNA TALK ABOUT JASPER COUNTY, HARDY BILL AND JASPER COUNTY.
WE JUST, I THINK IT'S A GOOD GROUP AND EVERYONE'S SO RESPECTFUL OF EACH OTHER THAT WE'RE ONLY TRYING TO SHOW WHERE MAYBE WE ALL DID WRONG.
I TELL MAYOR WILLIAMS THAT ALL THE TIME, WE DIDN'T DO EVERYTHING RIGHT.
IF WE COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, IT'D BE A MUCH DIFFERENT LOOK.
BUT WE, BUT WHO KNOWS? SO REALLY TO SEE WHERE WE CAN HELP OR MAYBE LEARN FROM JASPER WHAT THEY SEE FROM THE OUTSIDE IN, YOU KNOW, AND I JUST DON'T WANT THIS TO BE ALL BEAUFORT COUNTY BECAUSE ALL OF US HAVE A, A PLAY IN THIS, ON WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
SO I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT THERE AND REALLY WANT TO HEAR, UM, RIDGELAND, I WANNA HEAR JASPER YEMMA C JUST, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS COMMITTEE WOULD BE VERY MUCH THROW EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE TOO.
SO I THINK THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT SOFT SPOKEN PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THIS COMMITTEE.
SO I JUST THINK THAT, UH, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
CAUSE THE MORATORIUM NOT ONLY AFFECTS JASPER COUNTY ACT, ACTUALLY EXPECTS BUFORD COUNTY.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT OR DON'T REALIZE THAT THAT BEAUFORT COUNTY IS PROBABLY JUST IMPORTANT FOR THIS MORATORIUM AS WE ARE.
SO MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THE COMMITTEE CAN DISCUSS.
DISCUSS IS THIS MORATORIUM AND WHAT, WHAT, WHY DID YOU DO IT? WHAT ARE YOU GETTING FROM IT? I THINK THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE HELPFUL FOR THIS COMMITTEE.
IT'S SIX MONTHS, CORRECT? UH, IT'S TWO 70 DAYS.
SO IT'S, SO THAT'S NINE MONTHS, I THINK.
WE, WE HAD STARTED OUT IN 180 DAYS.
AND WE WENT TO THE, WE EXTENDED IT ANOTHER 30 DAYS OR WHATEVER IT WAS TO THE FACT THAT IF WE WOULD'VE HAD EXTENDED, CAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO, TO DO IT, WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER ORDINANCE, WHICH WOULD BE THREE READINGS.
SO WE JUST WENT TO 7,270 DAYS AND THEY COULD ALWAYS SAY, NO, WE'VE FINISHED AND WE CAN GO AHEAD WITHOUT THE MORATORIUM.
IS YOUR COUNSEL AWARE WHAT WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT NOW? I MEAN, NOT NOW.
HE'D BRING UP THE, AND I USUALLY GIVE A, A LITTLE SYNOPSIS OF WHAT GOES ON HERE TO THE COUNCIL, BUT I THINK IT'S, IT'S NEW TERRITORY FOR US.
CUZ WE HAVE ALL NEW PEOPLE ON THE BOARD.
WE HAVE A STAFF THAT WILL HELP OUT MM-HMM.
AND I THINK THAT PERSONALLY I THINK THE HALL COUNTY HAS TO BE REDONE.
CAUSE WHEN WE DID THE ZONING IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT WAS NOT, IT WAS ZONED RURAL ALL
[00:25:01]
PLACE.AND THERE'S A LOT OF PLACES THAT COULD BE BETTER.
AND WE HAVE TO INCREASE OUR ZONING CUZ THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER IS DIFFERENT THAN A WAREHOUSE.
AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT DISTINCTION.
ARE WE, SO WE'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU TO GET THE FIRST C GET THE COMMITTEE COMMITTEE GOING AND THEN, UM, JULY YOU CAN GIVE US A QUICK UPDATE.
JULY WE'RE GONNA TOTALLY FOCUS ON THE REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST.
I THINK WE ALL HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY COMING IN FROM OTHER SOURCES AND IT'LL JUST BE A GOOD TIME IN JULY TO, SO THINK ABOUT QUESTIONS YOU'D LIKE TO ASK OF THAT COMMITTEE.
IS, ARE THERE ANY OF THE THREE THAT SENT THEIR GROWTH BOUNDARIES? WERE Y'ALL PREPARED TO PRESENT THAT OR DO YOU WANNA WAIT? I MEAN, IT'S OKAY.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF, I DIDN'T KNOW WE SUBMITTED.
SO, UM, IF I, I THINK IT WOULD, I DON'T WANNA MAKE CARRIE DO IT.
DO YOU WANNA JUST KIND OF SCROLL THROUGH THE SLIDES OR DO YOU WANNA WAIT UNTIL JUST GET EVERYONE'S IN AND GET A, GET A WHO SUBMITTED IT? IT SOUNDS LIKE WHO, MATT, DID YOU SUBMIT? HARDY MILLS CHAIRMAN MAY HAVE SUBMITTED THE, WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR CONFINE IS OUR FRAMEWORK MAP.
SO WE HAVE BUFORD, IS ANYONE IN HARDY? BILL THAT, AND LISTEN, I'M NOT PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT.
DO YOU WANNA GO THROUGH HARDY V'S WHILE YOU HERE? LET'S DO IT.
LET'S GO THROUGH, LET'S DO HARDY BILL.
MICHAEL SIM BOARD WILL DO HARDY BILL.
IT'S GOING BE MR. DAVIS DOING HARDY BILL.
I DO HAVE A, CAN I GIVE YOU, SO WE'LL GO THROUGH HARDY BILL IF EVERYONE ELSE WILL SEND A REMINDER, CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT'S BEING SENT IN AND SEND YOURS IN.
THIS IS ALSO GONNA BE GOOD FOR THE COMMITTEE TO SEE.
YOU SAID YOU SENT YOURS IN? YEAH, I'VE SENT IT AGAIN JUST OKAY.
BUT IT'S THE SAME AS CITY, SO YEAH.
HASN'T CHANGED THE CITY AND TOWNS SAME.
WE GET THEM TOGETHER NEXT TIME.
UH, VILLE THIS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, WE HAD REALLY, UH, ESTABLISHED A FORM WORK POLICY ORGANIZATION POLICY AT THAT TIME AND OUR COUNCIL TO DO SO.
SO WE DID LOOK AT IT, UM, OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW WITH SOME TIMBERLAND THOUSAND AT A TIME.
SO THOSE OF THOSE ARE IN PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS NOW.
BUT, UH, SO WE DID LOOK AT THAT.
EVERYTHING YOU SEE THERE IN SHADE AND BLUE IS THE EXISTING CITY LIMIT.
THE RED RED LINE IS THE, UH, IS OUR BOUNDARY WE LOOKED AT.
UH, BUT WE DID, UM, WE KINDA JUST LOOKED AT IT AND SAID YOU LOOK AT THE ADJACENT LAND USES, YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF THOSE PROPERTIES, UM, HOW WE, HOW BIG MUNICIPAL SERVICES WE PROVIDED TO ACCESS KNOW, INTERESTED.
SO THAT'S KIND HOW WE DREW THE, THERE'S REALLY NOT A WHOLE LOT OF LAND THAT'S, THAT'S NOT ALREADY IN THE CITY WITHIN OUR AREA.
THERE'S SOME POCKETS WE CERTAINLY REALIZE NOT ALL THOSE POCKETS ARE EVER GONNA ANNEX.
I'VE EMPHASIZED SINCE WE STARTED DOING THIS THAT THAT RED LINE REPRESENTS A, DOES NOT REPRESENT A BUILT TO LINE OR RATHER IT GO NO FURTHER THAN LINE.
BUT, UM, BUT OUR BOUNDARY IS ESSENTIALLY, UM, TO THE WEST BRIDGE IS COMING TO THE EAST IS KIND ONE 70 AND THEN BASICALLY THE NEW RIVER AND THEN THREE 15 ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 17.
AND WE HAVE THE SAVANNAH RIVER, UM, SAVANNAH WILDLIFE REFUGE SOUTH, UH, VILLE, FAR WEST THERE THREE.
AND THEN OF COURSE TO THE NORTH BASICALLY JUST FOLLOWS THE EXISTING CITY BOUNDARY.
THAT KIND BUTTS UP FOR THE MOST PART AGAINST THE EXISTING BEACH.
AND THEN TO THE NORTH AND WEST AROUND MARVILLE IS VAST ACREAGE CLUB, THE CLUB.
SO POINT WHERE THAT IS, IF YOU DON'T MIND, OR KIND OF IS IT TO THE ABOVE WHERE IT SAYS EXIT EIGHT, WHERE IS THAT IN THE TOWN LIMITS OR, OH, I DUNNO, THERE, I'M SORRY, WHERE WAS YOUR QUESTION? WHERE IS THE OK KITTY CLUB ACREAGE? IS IT WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OR NO, NO, IT, IT'S TO THE NORTH AND THEN WRAPS AROUND THE WEST AND ACROSS I 95.
IT'S, IT'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT.
SO IN A LOT OF WAYS IT ALMOST KINDA PRESENTS ITSELF AS ITS OWN GREEN BELT, SO IT'S KINDA NICE FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.
SO, AND AGAIN, WE'RE PRETTY LIMITED THERE TO THE EAST ANYWAY SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A BIG THERE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM TOWARDS THE SOUTH.
[00:30:01]
WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY, UH, PRESERVED.BUT UM, THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE DID.
UM, JUST KINDA TRYING TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WATERWAYS, ROADWAYS DEVELOPMENT.
THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP WAS FAIRLY LOGICAL BOUNDARY.
THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IN THE CITY.
UM, WE HAVE UNDEVELOPED ALREADY IN THE CITY.
SO I THINK OTHER THAN MAYBE TRYING CLEAN US SOME DONUT HOLES OR SOME POCKETS WHERE KINDA MAKES SENSE TO ANNEX, I DON'T SEE US NECESSARILY PURSUING ANY LARGE FROM THIS POINT.
ANY QUESTIONS I HAVE? ANY QUESTIONS OF MIKE? YES, STEVEN, A QUICK QUESTION.
THE MAYOR I THINK TOLD ME SEVERAL YEARS AGO THAT YOU, YOU'RE ABOUT 58,000 SINGLE FAMILY UNITS BY BY RIGHT? DO YOU, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE CURRENTLY WITH THE, SOME OF THE NEW ANNEXATIONS THAT HAVE COME IN? UM, THAT'S, THAT MY NUMBERS PROBABLY A LITTLE HIGH.
UH, WHERE I'M ACTUALLY FINALIZING THAT ACTUALLY RIGHT NOW AND PROBABLY FOR THE NEXT WEEK I'LL HAVE GOOD NUMBERS.
BUT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS THEY HAVE, THEY MIGHT HAVE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS, BUT IN REALITY BIG CARVED VARIOUS SUBDIVISIONS AND, YOU KNOW, ROADS AND STORMWATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA REACH THAT ULTIMATE DENSITY.
BUT, UM, WE'RE, WE'RE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF COUNTING THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT MY GUESS WOULD BE SOMEWHERE IN THE 30 UNITS THAT WOULD OKAY.
AND WHAT DO YOU, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE NOW, WHAT'S APPROXIMATELY RIGHT NOW? IT AGAIN, IT'S ON OUR, IT'S ALL THAT IS ON OUR WEBSITES.
WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT UPDATES.
MIKE, MATT UP ABOVE EXIT EIGHT, THAT RED LINE FOLLOWS I 95.
YOU GO UP OR YOU SEE EXIT EIGHT AND KIND OF TO THE LEFT WHERE IT SAYS HILTON HEAD LAKES, THAT LAND LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE ROADWAYS THAT WOULD CONNECT TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD.
WOULDN'T A LONG, LONG TIME AGO.
WASN'T THERE PLANS TO HAVE HILTON WHEN IT WAS LATITUDES OR WHATEVER TO GO OUT TO I 95? LIKE AT A EXIT 12 THING IS YES, THERE WAS TALKING LIKE MAYBE LIKE MILE MARKER 12 OR 13 AT A POTENTIAL TO EXIT.
AND THAT'S WITHIN YOUR LINE, DO YOU THINK? BECAUSE AT FIVE TO EIGHT YEAH.
CAUSE OUR, THAT IS CURRENTLY AGAINST NINE FIVE, SO OKAY.
YEAH, THAT'S NOT NOTHING THAT WE DISCUSSED WHEN I, WHEN I MET, I HAD A QUESTION.
OH, WHEN I MET WITH THE MAYOR LAST WEEK, HE, HE MENTIONED LATITUDE.
HOW, WHAT'S THE BUILD OUT OF IT? DO YOU KNOW OFFHAND? RIGHT.
THEY'RE APPROACHING HALFWAY RIGHT NOW.
AND HOW MANY, THEY'RE BUILDING PRETTY RAPIDLY, RIGHT? ABOUT FOUR 50 UNITS THIS YEAR.
THEY THINK THEY'RE GONNA DO ABOUT 600 NEXT YEAR.
THERE'S SEVERAL POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THERE.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? THIS IS, THIS IS WHAT I THINK WE NEED TO SEE.
AND THEN AT SOME POINT THAT COMMITTEE CAN JUST HAVE A SUPER BIG MAP.
MAYBE WE BREAK IT DOWN TO SEE, OKAY, SO WHERE'S JASPER IN THAT? IS THAT, OH WHATEVER THAT HUNTING RANGE, IS IT IN PERPETUITY? WHICH WE ALL KNOW NOTHING IS, BUT HOW CAN WE, AND I THINK IT GOES BACK TO THE NUMBER THREE B, HOW CAN WE CONSIDER PURCHASING DENSITY OR CONSERVATION EASEMENT? IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN JUST PRESERVE.
HOW CAN WE PRESERVE IT? THEY MIGHT HAVE AN APPETITE FOR SOME MONEY TO ENSURE NO DEVELOPMENT.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S A LOT.
IT'S LIKE 50,000 ACRES OR SOME CRAZY NUMBER WAY TO THE NORTH OF THE RED LINE AT THE TOP OF THE BAY.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE AREA THAT JACKSON COUNTY IS NOT SO OKAY.
THAT'S WHERE AREAS WHERE IT'S INTERESTING.
SO WHAT MAYOR TWO AND MATT DIDN'T MENTION WITH OUR, THERE'S A DETAIL APPLICATION THAT, UH, PERSPECTIVE CITY, FUTURE CITY RESIDENT, UH, KIND OF A DETAILED COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS.
WHY DO YOU WANT ANNEX? WHAT'S THE BENEFITS TO THE CITY? WHAT ARE THE COSTS TO THE CITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES? SO, AND WHEN WE DID THAT, THAT THAT'S HOW WE KIND OF CAME UP WITH THE MAP.
SO THE MAP, THE BOUNDARY MAP, JOINT SERVICES WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHAT MAKES LOGICAL SENSE, WHERE, WHICH, WHERE SHOULD EACH TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT GO? SO THAT, THAT'S ALL, UH, INCLUDED IN THAT APPLICATION PROCESS THAT KIND OF WENT AND FORMALIZE IN THOSE BOUNDARIES.
ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYONE? I HAD A QUESTION JUST CUZ I DON'T KNOW, AND IT'S PROBABLY ON THE WEBSITE, WHICH, UM, WHAT TYPE OF IMPACT FEES? I KNOW YOU HAVE RECREATION IMPACT FEES, BUT WHAT OTHER IMPACT FEES? WE DON'T HAVE STATUTORY IMPACT FEES.
WE CALL VOLUNTARY DEVELOPMENT FEES, BUT WE DO HAVE A
[00:35:01]
SCHEDULE, WE NEGOTIATE EACH POTENTIAL PROJECT.AND IS IS THAT HOW YOU BUILT THE RECREATION CENTER WITH THE NEGOTIATION? UH, NO.
YEAH, THE RECREATION CENTER IS ACTUALLY BEING PAID FOR WITH, UH, A TASKFORCE.
AND THIS WILL UPLOAD TO OUR TWO LINKS CURRENTLY WITH HARDY BILL AND BLUFFTON.
AND AGAIN, EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A LINK.
I THINK IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR YOUR RESIDENTS TO SEE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
DOES BLUFFTON OR DOES BUFORT WANNA DO IT? IS THERE SOMEONE FROM BUFORT THAT COULD PRESENT OR DO YOU WANNA HOLD OFF? WELL, I'M SURE OR DO YOU WANNA DO SOME, SOMETHING LIKE THAT? IT MAY BE MORE USEFUL TO DO IT AT THE SAME TIME.
WOULD BLUFFTON WANNA JUST SHOW THE FRAMEWORK MAP TO SEE? I MEAN IT'S JUST ONE SLIDE, RIGHT? UH, I CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BLUFF.
OBVIOUSLY TO THE NORTH IT'S 2 78.
HE WANTS YOU TO TALK ON THAT MICROPHONE.
UH, 2 78 ACROSS THE TOP AND ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARIES SORT OF IS, UH, SC ONE 70 OKEE HIGHWAY.
UM, LOFTON'S UNIQUE AS PROBABLY EVERYBODY IN HERE KNOWS BECAUSE WE HAVE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS THAT, UH, DICTATE ABOUT 90 PLUS PERCENT, 92% OF, UH, OF THE TOWN LIMITS.
AND UH, AND ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THAT IS BUILT OUT.
SO OUR PRESSURE RIGHT NOW THAT WE HAVE IS, IS, UH, SC ONE 70.
WE, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT PRESSURE.
WE HAVE APPLICATIONS COMING IN, UH, DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT TO BUILD, NOT BUILD AND THAT, AND THAT ROLLS INTO SOMETHING MAYBE THE GROWTH COMMITTEE'S GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT WITH REGIONAL PATHWAYS.
WE'VE, WE UM, WE KIND OF HAVE THE MINDSET THAT WHATEVER WE CAN GET OUT OF THE DEVELOPERS WE'D LIKE TO GET WHEN IT COMES TO PATHWAYS.
UM, WE, WE ARE, UM, I DON'T, I CAN'T CERTAINLY CAN'T SPEAK FOR COUNCIL, BUT I DON'T THINK WE HAVE MUCH OF AN APPETITE FOR FUTURE ANNEXATION AT THIS TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH APPROVALS ON THE BOOKS.
UM, THEY LIST THE PERMITTED USES THAT ARE ALLOWED IN A, IN A LARGE SWATH OF THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON.
AND SO WE'RE, IT'S LITERALLY, UH, UNDEVELOPED LAND WAITING FOR FOLKS TO COME IN THAT ALREADY HAVE BUILT IN PERMITTED USES BASED UPON THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
WE'RE A VERY BUSY OFFICE BECAUSE OF THAT.
AND UM, AND, UM, AS, AS THE MAYOR KNOWS, WE'RE HAVING DEVELOPMENT POP UP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TOWN.
SO I'D HAVE TO WING IT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL GIVE IT MY BEST.
I BROUGHT REINFORCEMENTS WITH A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HIGHER THAN ME ON THE FLOW CHART.
ANY, ANY QUESTIONS FOR BLUFFTON? IF YOU BREAK DOWN THAT 50, I THINK IT'S AROUND, WE GOTTA BE GETTING CLOSE TO 80 ON RESIDENTIAL, 80 RESIDENTIAL UTILIZE.
SO THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN IT'S POSSIBLE, BUT THERE'S A, UH, 80% RESIDENTIAL, 36% OF OUR COMMERCIAL WHEN YOU EVER RENT IT OUT OVERALL.
SO I ALWAYS BREAK IT OUT CUZ RESIDENTS FREAK OUT WHEN THEY ARE 18 CARS BEHIND A RED LIGHT.
A A, A GOOD RESOURCE, EXCUSE ME, MAYOR.
IS, UH, EACH JANUARY TOWN COUNCIL GETS A PRESENTATION ON THE STATUS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND THAT'S ALSO INCLUDED IN A PRESENTATION.
SO YOU, YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND YOU CAN LOOK UP GO UNDER JANUARY OF THIS YEAR FOR TOWN COUNCIL.
YOU'LL HAVE THE MOST RECENT UPDATE OF WHERE WE STAND WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS.
IT INCLUDES HOMES BUILT COMMERCIAL SQUARE FOOTAGE BUILT AND WHAT'S LEFT ON THE BOOKS PER EACH, UH, P U D.
SO, SO THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL ON GIVING A GAUGE OF WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS.
UM, YEAH, I'LL, AND WE HAVE A COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
WE KIND OF KNOW WHERE OUR RESIDENTIAL IS, BUT WHAT COUNCIL ALWAYS IS WAITING FOR IS THE COMMERCIAL TO PAY FOR ALL THIS RESIDENTIAL.
AND SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT WHAT, WHAT DO WE WANNA RECRUIT IN TERMS OF THE GOOD COMMERCIAL.
SO WE SIT WITHIN THAT MAP AND YOU SEE THE VERY WHITE AREAS.
THAT'S WHY I SAY WE'RE SO DIFFERENT.
THE VERY WHITE AREAS IS IN THE COUNTY, SO IT'S NOT TOWN LIMITS.
SO WE ARE NOT A YING AND YING AND YANG BY ANY MEANS.
AND EVEN BETWEEN US AND HILTON HEAD, THERE'S EVEN ON HILTON HEAD, IT'S NOT ALL HILTON HEAD.
SO IT'S, IT'S VERY KINDA MESSY.
[00:40:01]
I DO AGREE.I THINK BEAUFORT, PORT ROYAL, JUST TO SHOW THE TWO, THERE MIGHT BE SOME DIFFERENCES.
HILTON HEAD IF WE COULD GET IT.
AND THEN BUFORT COUNTY, JASPER COUNTY.
IT'S JUST BEYOND HAVING OUR PERIMETER, YOU KNOW, GROWTH
SO THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING I THINK.
WE CAN JUST DO IT IN FASTER THAN THE DEVELOPERS CAN DEVELOP.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANY THOUGHTS FROM THIS TABLE? UM, THE JULY AGENDA, WE'RE GONNA SOLELY FOCUS ON REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST.
SO MAYOR HAD SENT OUT AN EMAIL, I THINK OF THIS COMMITTEE.
IF NOT HE WAS GOING TO, LET'S GET OUR QUESTIONS.
I THINK THIS COMMITTEE NEEDS TO BE UPDATED ON VERY DETAILED INFO ON WHAT'S GOING ON.
A LITTLE LOWER THAN HIGH LEVEL AND UM, I DON'T KNOW WHO WILL BE HERE, BUT, UM, THEY'VE BEEN TALKING TO MAYOR WILLIAMS ABOUT IT.
ANYTHING ELSE FOR NOW FOR HERE? DO YOU THINK WE'RE ON TRACK FOR THE PUBLIC? THAT YES SIR MIKE? YEAH.
ONE OF OTHER THINGS WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT MAYOR REALLY IS, AND WHICH I, WE MIGHT WANT TO ADD AS GOAL IS, UM, YOU KNOW, JOINT SERVICE PROVISION.
SO WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE DEVELOPMENTS THAT AFFECT, WE'RE RIGHT AT EACH OTHER'S BOUNDARIES.
WHY WOULD THE CITY IF, YOU KNOW, BUILD A FIVE OR $6 MILLION FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, WOULD CROSS OVER JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC WORKS, STORM WATER, YOU KNOW, UH, LAW ENFORCEMENT, YOU KNOW, PARKS AND RECREATION.
SO I MEAN THIS COMMITTEE COULD, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES, BUT THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME MORE JOINT SERVICE PROVISION BETWEEN ALL OF OUR, YOU KNOW, PARTICIPATING JURISDICTIONS.
UM, I'LL GO THROUGH THIS CUZ I, WHO DO WE HAVE? JOCELYN? HEY JOCELYN.
I ASK A QUESTION BEFORE YOU GET OFF OF THE TOPIC.
UM, AS YOU'RE ALL, I THINK THIS IS AMAZING THAT YOU'RE EACH OTHER'S WHERE YOUR GROWTH IS AND YOUR BOUNDARIES.
WHAT I THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL POSSIBLY TO CONSIDER IS BRINGING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT INTO THE DISCUSSION, EITHER OR SOME FROM SCHOOLS COMMUNICATING YES.
THEIR AND WHAT SCHOOLS ARE NEEDED.
WELL, AND IF YOU'RE CURIOUS AND YOU COME TO ALL THESE MEETINGS, IMAGINE WHO DOESN'T.
UM, I WROTE SCHOOL DISTRICT INVOLVEMENT.
UM, BUT YES, BUT SADLY ALL THE UTILITIES, INCLUDING SCHOOL DISTRICTS WERE ASKED 20 YEARS AGO IN BLUFFTON AND NO ONE LOOKED TOO FAR AHEAD TO KNOW WHAT WE WOULD, WHERE WE WOULD BE.
BUT I THINK ALL THAT CAN BE DISCUSSED.
UM, WE MIGHT WANNA ADD CAROL TO THE GROUP.
UM, I KNOW THAT WOULD BE UP TO HER, BUT SINCE SHE'S THE PLANNER, PLANNER FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THINK ABOUT THAT.
I DON'T WRITE HER NAME, ALWAYS SPELL IT WRONG.
WHO IS YOUR COUNTERPART AT JASPER? DO WOULD YOU KNOW? I DO NOT KNOW, BUT I JUST REACH OUT AND LAST NO MORE THAN I DO.
OH, WELL IT MIGHT BE YOU
I KNOW, BUT HE HAS KNOWLEDGE AND SEE WHO THERE.
WELL IT'S, IT, IT IS JUST A CONSTANT REMINDER.
THIS GROUP WORKS SO WELL BECAUSE WE ARE A BIGGER UMBRELLA AND I, I DON'T LIKE WHEN EVERYTHING'S HEAVY.
BUFORT COUNTY AND I LIVE IN BEAUFORT COUNTY, SO, UM, I LIKE EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE INVOLVED.
SO IF WE DON'T HAVE IT, MAYBE YOU CAN JUST, IF THE COMMITTEE'S OKAY, SHE COULD JUST MM-HMM.
KIND OF LIKE LATS AND I WROTE SOMETHING ELSE.
UM, OPEN LAND TRUST IS THERE'LL BE, DOES SOMEONE LIKE CAROL HAVE TO SHOW UP EVERY SINGLE MEETING? RIGHT, RIGHT.
OR CAN YOU COME JUST AS NEEDED? MM-HMM.
UM, SO I PUT ON OUR NOTES TO GO ALONG WITH THIS, UM, AND I PUT WHO ASKED ABOUT IT.
SO BUFORT SAID THE REVIEW OF THE NORTHERN REGIONAL PLAN WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA REGARDING BIKES AND PEDESTRIAN TRAILS.
LATZ DOES HAVE IT, BUT MAKE SURE JASPER COUNTY, DO THEY HAVE A TRAIL PLAN? TWO, SHOULD LATS BE IN CHARGE OF ITEM G, WHICH IS IDENTIFY POTENTIAL TRAFFIC BOTTLENECKS.
[00:45:01]
SEE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN PLANNING NORTH VERSUS SOUTH OF THE BROAD.JASPER COUNTY SAID REMINDS US THAT LATS DOESN'T COVER ALL OF OUR SOLO LOCO AREA ON ITEM G.
AGAIN, WHEN WE ADDRESS, THERE'S MORE WHEN WE ADDRESS.
YOU WROTE IT, YOU SAID IT CHRIS.
THERE'S MORE IN PLAY THAN WHAT LATS IS DOING.
LOCAL BUY AND BUY-IN AND REQUIREMENT TO MAKE PROJECTS PROCEED.
THEY SHOULD NOT BE RECOMMENDING THE KIT COMMITTEE, BUT, BUT HOW CAN EACH JURISDICTION GET PROJECTS DONE? I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE.
UM, ALICE TALKED ABOUT THE GREEN MAP UNDER ITEM THREE B AND LET'S SEE WHAT JASPER COUNTY AND THEIR JURISDICTIONS HAVE.
STEVEN MURRAY SET ANOTHER GOAL.
IS IT WORTH LOOKING AT WHAT DENSITIES ARE OUT THERE NOW? LOOK AT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS TO SHOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN AT BUILD OUT.
ALICE, UH, JUST MADE A COMMENT.
ALL OF THIS CAN HELP THE GREEN SPACE COMMITTEE AND THAT MONEY CAN BE USED THROUGHOUT OUR REGION.
I DON'T KNOW THAT JASPER AND RIDGELAND AND HARDY WILL KNOW THAT.
MAYBE WE SHOULD LET THEM KNOW THAT IT'S IN THE LEGISLATION.
UM, DAN HAS A NORTHERN REGIONAL PLAN BEEN RECONCILED? STEVEN MURRAY SAID WE SHOULD INVITE OPEN LAND TRUST WHEN NEEDED.
I PUT LATZ IN SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH THAT I'D GO AGAIN, DON'T OVERLOOK JASPER HARDY BILL AND NOT ONLY FOCUS ON BUFORT, JASPER COUNTY THINKS THIS COMMITTEE'S IMPORTANT.
HE, THEY'RE GONNA DISCUSS THE MORATORIUM AND I THINK THAT'S A COMMITTEE PRESENTATION AND I ADDED ON THREE B OTHER THAN, UH, THE REVIEW.
ALSO SEE WHO CAN HELP WITH CONSERVATION EASEMENTS BECAUSE ANYTHING THAT'S RURAL NOW Y'ALL LOOK AT, LOOK AT JASPER DOWN AT SNAKE ROAD.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE RURAL FOREVER.
JOCELYN TALKED ABOUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WE'RE GONNA ADD CAROL CRUTCHFIELD AND PERHAPS JASPER COUNTY'S COUNTERPART.
ANY THOUGHTS FROM ANYONE? OKAY.
RECORD TIME, ANYTHING GOOD FOR THIS WHOLE COMMITTEE? I'D SUGGEST MAYBE AN AUGUST AGENDA ITEM.
AND I KNOW THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS, UH, GONNA GO FOR REFERENDUM IN NOVEMBER.
UM, AND WOULD IT BE WORTH HAVING, UH, DR.
RODRIGUEZ OR SOMEONE FROM THE BOARD COME IN AND MAKE A PRESENTATION ON EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE ASKING OF, OF VOTERS, UM, THAT WOULD AFFECT COUNTY? I'LL BRING THAT UP TO THE CHAIR.
I'M, I'M GONNA LET HIM DECIDE CUZ HE MIGHT HAVE A WHOLE LIST OF WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT NO WORRIES.
UM, JULY IS TOTALLY FOCUSED ON HOUSING TRUST, UM, SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENDUM.
HEY SHAWN, THERE'S ANOTHER MEMBER.
UM, OKAY, I WILL, WE WILL GET WITH Y'ALL ON THESE GROWTH THAT TAKES TWO MINUTES TO GO OVER ONE SLIDE.
SO MAYBE, MAYBE MAYOR WILLIAMS WILL PUT THE GROWTH BOUNDARY FRAMEWORK IN.
IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? I'LL A MOTION.
THIS IS LARRY ROWLAND AND THIS IS A BEAUFORT COUNTY MOMENT.
BEAUFORT COUNTY HAS ONE OF THE LONGEST HISTORIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
500 YEARS OF RECORDED HISTORY SINCE THE FIRST SPANISH LANDINGS.
CAPTAIN WILLIAM HILTON WAS A MASSACHUSETTS SEA CAPTAIN EMPLOYED BY THE BARBADIAN ACCOMPANY OF BARBADIAN ADVENTURERS, WHO HIRED CAPTAIN WILLIAM HILTON, WHO ARRIVED IN BARBADOS IN AUGUST OF 1663.
LEFT IN AUGUST 17TH AFTER A TWO WEEK VOYAGE SAILED INTO ST.
THE SOUND SAILED THROUGH THE ISLANDS, STAYED HERE FOR A WEEK AND A HALF AND EXPLORED ALL THE ISLANDS.
COMMENTED ON HOW THE FACT THAT THE NATIVE INDIANS SPOKE PRETTY GOOD SPANISH BECAUSE THE SPANISH HAD BEEN HERE FOR A CENTURY BEFORE WILLIAM HILTON ARRIVED.
HILTON LEFT A VERY GLOWING REPORT OF THESE ISLANDS AND THESE RIVERS AND CREEKS AND IT WAS THAT REPORT THAT LED HIS EMPLOYERS AND THE LORD'S PROPRIETORS OF SOUTH CAROLINA
[00:50:01]
TO DECIDE TO SEND COLONISTS TO FOUND THE COLONY OF SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1670.THIS HAS BEEN A BUFORT COUNTY MOMENT.
TO SEE MORE BUFORT COUNTY MOMENTS GO TO THE BUFORT COUNTY LIBRARY HOMEPAGE AND CLICK ON THE LOCAL HISTORY TAB.
I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COMING TODAY.
UM, ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE TREASURER, OUR ACCOUNTING ADMINISTRATOR, ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THE COUNTY AUDITOR'S OFFICE, I APPRECIATE AND MARIA'S SUPPORT TEAM, OF COURSE, THAT ARE RIGHT NEXT TO HER ALL THE WAY THERE AND ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND THE EMPLOYEES.

ISN'T THAT GREAT? WHAT MARIA SAID SHE WAS BRINGING HER PEOPLE IN TOO.
BUT, UH, NO, SERIOUSLY, I JUST WANNA THANK ALL OF YOU COMING.
UM, BUT AS I TELL EVERYBODY, WE JUST GO FROM HERE AND WE GO UP, WE DON'T LOOK BACK AND ANYMORE WE DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE, UH, TRY TO MAKE DECISION OF BUFORD HAPPY AND, UH, ENCOURAGED ABOUT THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE, THE TREASURER'S OFFICE, EVERYBODY'S OFFICE.
SO WE'RE ALL MEETING ON THE SAME SHEET OF MUSIC AND WE DON'T HAVE, UH, ANY OF THIS NONSENSE I WOULD BEST WAY TO PUT IT TO GO THROUGH ANYMORE.
THAT'S MY WHOLE OUTLINE IS, UH, HIT THE GROUND RUNNING, LET'S GET MOVING FORWARD AND WE CAN MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE UM, YOU DESERVE THE BEST.
I MEAN THE CITIZENS OF BEAUFORT ARE AWESOME.
UH, SOME OF 'EM DON'T LOVE ME.
I STILL SLEEP AT NIGHT VERY WELL.
IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, BUT, UH, IT'S JUST WE NEED TO UH, MOVE FORWARD.
WE GOT A LOT OF NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU KNOW, NEW AUDITOR AND WE'LL GET IN THERE AND WE'LL MAKE THIS PLACE A LOT BETTER.
NOT THAT IT'S NOT GOOD NOW, BUT I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER AND UH, MAKE SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY'S PROUD OF.
SO WHAT OUR WHOLE OBJECTIVES IN THE FUTURE, THEY LOOK BACK AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE NEED TO BE LIKE THOSE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE THE SCHOOL BOARD DOES NOW WITH THEIR TEACHERS.
THEY'RE GETTING HIGH PAID AND PEOPLE CALLING THEM AND ASKING THEM, HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT? WE NEED TO BE THE SAME WAY.
WE NEED TO TREAT OUR EMPLOYEES GOOD.
CUZ YES, I DON'T WANT TO GO, YOU KNOW, PET A DOG FOR 20 BUCKS AN HOUR DOWN IN BLUFFTON CUZ YOU CAN.
BUT THEN YOU GET THE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE WE NEED UP HERE AND THEY'RE GETTING, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT, LOT LESS THAN THAT.
SO WE GOTTA WORK ON THAT TO GET PEOPLE PAID WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PAID AND GET THESE JOBS FILLED.
I WANT TO THANK SPECIFICALLY I CAN'T LOOK AT HER OUT HERE.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I APPRECIATE YOU, EVERYTHING YOU DO.
I APPRECIATE TAKING CARE OF THOSE KIDS CUZ UH, I KNOW I SPENT THE LAST COUPLE SUMMERS WITH 'EM.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO AND, UH, PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS TO BE A MOM AND, YOU KNOW, WORKING AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
