B ONE, INITIAL MASTER PLAN, A REQUEST BY BRIAN WHITMER OF WHITMER JONES KEEFER LIMITED ON BEHALF OF MILLSTONE VENTURES L L C, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPERTY OWNER PARCEL EIGHT A L L C FOR APPROVAL OF AN INITIAL MASTER PLAN APPLICATION.

THE PROJECT REPOSES 16.02 ACRES OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND 5.9 ACRES OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

THE PROPERTY IS ZONE BUCK.

WALTER P U D CONSISTS OF 21.92 ACRES IDENTIFIED BY TAX MAP NUMBER AND IT'S ON THE AGENDA AND LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF SC HIGHWAY ONE 70 AND GIBB ROAD.

SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE BACK.

YOU'RE GOOD.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

IT'S LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION OF GIBB ROAD AND SC ONE 70 OR HIGHWAY.

THIS IS A AERIAL LOCATION MAP SHOWING THE, UH, LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

IT'S AN INITIAL MASTER PLAN BY BRIAN WHITMER OF WHITMER JONES KEEFER ON BEHALF OF MILLSTONE VENTURES, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPERTY OWNER PARCEL EIGHT A L L C.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS WITHIN THE ABOVE WALTER P U D.

THIS, THIS, UH, MASTER PLAN, THIS IS IN THE INITIAL MASTER PLAN, BUT THIS CAME BEFORE YOU IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AS A MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT.

THERE ARE VERY MINOR CHANGES FROM WHAT WAS SUBMITTED ORIGINALLY THAT YOU GUYS APPROVED THAT WITH THREE STAFF RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS AND ONE ADDITIONAL CONDITION THAT THAT WAS, UH, ADDED BY PLANNING COMMISSION.

ACTUALLY THE PINK LINE THAT GOT A BIGGER PICTURE OF, OF THE CON OF THE MASTER PLAN.

BUT THE PINK LINE THAT YOU SEE HERE WAS, WAS ADDED.

THAT'S ACTUALLY THE, UH, THAT WAS THE ADDED CONDITION THAT THAT WAS PUT ON THE PLAN PREVIOUSLY.

SO, SO THEY HAD RESOLVED THAT.

UM, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS WITHIN THE, WITHIN THE BUCK WALTER COMMONS LAND USE TRACK OF THE BUCKWALTER PD AND THAT ALLOWS, USES WITHIN THIS TRACK ARE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL USES AND SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES.

THE INITIAL MASTER PLAN CONSISTS OF 21.92 ACRES THAT WILL INCLUDE 16.02 ACRES OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND 5.9 ACRES OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

UH, THAT'S EXACTLY MATCHES THE ACREAGE OF, OF THE PREVIOUS SUBMITTAL THAT, THAT THEY HAD WITH THE MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT.

PLAN PROVIDES CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE USES AND NORTHWARD INTO THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN THE ABOVE WALTER CROSSROADS MASTER PLAN.

ALL PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS SUBJECT TO FULL REVIEW AND APPROVAL AT TIME OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBMITTAL.

WE SAY THAT TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU ARE, YOU ARE NOT APPROVING

[00:05:01]

THE SPECIFIC LIGHT SITE LAYOUTS THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE MASTER PLAN.

YOU'RE JUST APPROVING THE INITIAL MASTER PLAN.

UH, SUBJECT PROPERTY IS WITHIN THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY AND WILL REQUIRE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS REVIEWING LANDSCAPING, LIGHTING AND ARCHITECTURE AT TIME OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBMITTAL.

SUBJECT PROPERTY ALSO IS WITHIN WHAT'S THE BEAUFORT COUNTY CONNECTS 2021 BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN PLAN.

THIS WAS ADOPTED BY TOWN COUNCIL.

SO UH, THIS PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO IT.

IT, UM, REQUIRES THAT A BIKE PATH BE PROVIDED ALONG.

UH, IT'S CALLED OUT AS THE NORTHBOUND SIDE OF SC ONE 70.

SO IT WOULD BE ACROSS THE FRONTAGE OF THIS AND WE'D BE ASKING FOR THAT AS THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS COME IN.

THIS IS THE, THE, UH, MASTER PLAN THAT'S BEING PROVIDED, BEING REQUESTED TO BE APPROVED TONIGHT.

THAT'S A CLOSER VERSION OF IT IN CASE WE NEED TO COME BACK TO IT.

THESE ARE THE REVIEW CRITERIA.

SO THERE'S A PRE-APP APPLICATION MEETING IN DECEMBER OF 2022 AND THE APPLICATION CHECK-IN IN JANUARY OF 2023.

THIS WAS REVIEWED BY D R C AS AN INITIAL MASTER PLAN IN JUNE 28TH, 2023.

WE'RE HERE TONIGHT, JULY 26TH, AND YOU WILL BE RECOMMENDING MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO TOWN COUNSEL FOR THIS MASTER PLAN.

AND THEN WE, THAT DATE WILL BE DETERMINED.

SO, SO TONIGHT YOU CAN RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION AS SUBMITTED.

RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION WITH CONDITIONS, RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE APPLICATION AS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT.

TOWN STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS OF THESE THREE CONDITIONS ARE THE SAME ONES THAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE WHEN IT CAME THROUGH AS A MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT.

IT IS, UH, ONE IS A STATEMENT SHALL BE PLACED ON THE INITIAL MASTER PLAN DECLARING THAT ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE MASTER PLAN SHALL CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BUFORD COUNTY CONNECTS 2021 BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN PLAN TWO IS WHETHER LOCATED ON OR OFF SITE, IT SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPER TO INSTALL A 10 FOOT WIDE BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN PATH ALONG SC ONE 70 FRONTAGE CONSISTENT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BUFORT COUNTY CONNECTS 2021 BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN PLAN IN CONJUNCTION WITH INDIVIDUAL SITE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE PARCEL ONE INITIAL MASTER PLAN.

SO AS THE INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS COME IN, WE'LL RE WE WILL REQUIRE THAT THAT BE INSTALLED.

AND NUMBER THREE IS SITE LAYOUTS FOR ALL PARCELS ARE SUBJECT TO FULL TOWN REVIEW AND APPROVAL AT THE TIME OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBMITTAL.

THAT'S PROCEDURAL, BUT IT'S CALLED OUT HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE, WE, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF DETAIL ON THIS MASTER PLAN.

WE WANNA REMIND YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT APPROVING THE INDIVIDUAL LAYOUTS ON THESE PARCELS.

AND I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

SO JUST TO CLARIFY, YOUR THIRD POINT, IT COME BACK BEFORE US OR IT WILL COME BACK BEFORE US FOR EACH PARCEL.

YES.

AND THOSE PARCELS COULD BE APARTMENTS OR RETAIL OR ANY OTHER USE THAT'S PERMITTED THERE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

NOT PROVING ANY OF THAT, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT.

THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL IS ALLOWED THROUGH THROUGHOUT THIS, UH, THROUGHOUT ALL OF THESE PARCELS.

AND THAT'S A VERY WIDE OPEN LIST OF PERMITTED USES START.

JASON, I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE QUESTION.

UM, I SAW THE TRAFFIC STUDY, UM, WAS ASKING FOR TWO LANES AT THE, I THINK IT WAS SITE ACCESS POINT NUMBER THREE, WHICH IS THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN AND THAT IT ALIGNS WITH THE STATE DRIVE.

I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM IF THIS PLAN IS SHOWING BOTH THAT THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE TWO LANES FOR THE EGRESS AND ALSO THAT IT ALIGNS WITH ESTATE DRIVE.

RIGHT.

AND, AND YES.

IT, IT, IT, IT DOES HERE AND THEN WHEN THEY COME IN WITH, THEY COME IN WITH A DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT THAT'S WHEN WE'LL TAKE A HARDER LOOK AT IT.

BUT, BUT, UH, THAT, THAT IS A TWO, TWO LANES IN ONE LANE OUT IS, IS WHAT'S RECOMMENDED WITH THAT.

WHAT THE, THE T I A CALLED THAT PHASE ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENT BY, BY REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT.

SO PHASE ONE BEING THE APARTMENTS AND THAT IMPROVEMENT WOULD HAPPEN WITH, WITH THE APARTMENTS.

A FUTURE PHASE WOULD KICK IN A DEDICATED LEFT TURN LANE OFF OF GBIT INTO FIGURE AS WELL.

PERFECT.

THANK YOU.

MM-HMM.

, MICHAEL, ANY QUESTIONS? ? UM, DAN, ON ONE OF THE STAFF COMMENTS, THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ABOUT FIVE PARKING SPOTS, UH, FOR THE RESIDENCES.

DID YOU ADDRESS THAT? WE DID.

AND, UH, TIME I TOUCHED THIS, IT DOES SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

THERE WE GO.

USED TO BE FIVE SPOTS THAT WERE RUNNING PARALLEL RIGHT HERE.

THEY'VE

[00:10:01]

RELOCATED THOSE FIVE SPOTS TO THIS POSITION.

UH, WE HAD ASKED FOR THAT.

WE, WE FELT THAT, THAT THIS WAS PRETTY FAR REMOVED TO SERVE AS, AS PARKING FOR THE APARTMENTS.

THANK YOU.

UM, THE ONLY, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS NOT NECESSARILY RELATED TO TONIGHT ON THIS, BUT I JUST WANT TO GET A, HAVE US GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE, UH, THE R D THE RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS, THE RDUS, UM, THAT WOULD BE ASSIGNED ON THIS SITE.

SOME OF THE MASTER PLANS ALLOW FOR A PURE COMMERCIAL CONVERSION.

UM, ONE ACRE EQUALS FOUR RDUS, RIGHT? IS THAT THE CASE ON THIS OR DO THESE HAVE TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE? AND IF SO, WHERE? I THINK THEY'RE, AND I MAY NEED TO GET SOME HELP FROM MR. NESTOR ON THAT, BUT, UH, THE, THESE ENTITLEMENTS ARE ALREADY THERE, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY MORE CONVERSIONS THAT CAN HAPPEN WITHIN THE BUCKWALTER P U D UH, IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING, UH, WALTER NESTOR WAS BURN FOREMAN FOR THE, A, UH, THE LAW FIRM OF BURN FOREMAN FOR THE APPLICANT.

UM, AND, AND DAN'S CORRECT, THERE ARE NO MORE CONVERSIONS AVAILABLE LEFT IN BUCKWALTER.

ALL THOSE CONVERSIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, BUT THIS LAND IS ENTITLED ALREADY.

SO THE, THESE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS RUN RUN WITH THE LAND, UH, IN THIS AREA OF BUCKWALTER COMMONS.

SO THIS LAND HAS ACTUAL DWELLING UNITS OR THEY'RE JUST COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN BUCK, BUCK WALTER COMMONS.

OVERALL, THEY'RE COMING FROM OWNERS OWNERSHIP IN BUCK WALTER COMMONS, WHICH THERE'S SOME COMMON OWNERSHIP IN BUCK WALTER COMMONS, NOT ONLY THE EXISTING OWNER, BUT OTHER, UH, OTHER ENTITIES ALL RUNNING DOWN TO THE SAME OWNER.

BUT THAT THE PURCHASE CONTRACT CONTEMPLATES THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE DENSITY RIGHTS OR THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS FROM THAT OWNER.

OKAY.

THEN THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE, AND I I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE DON'T DO ANYTHING WRONG FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER BECAUSE THIS IS ITS OWN I M P, ARE THEY STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO ASSIGN PROPERLY BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF BUCK WALTER COMMONS? OR DOES THAT MAKE 'EM SOMETHING CAN'T COME FROM BUCK WALTER COMMONS HERE? 'CAUSE THIS IS NOT BUCK WALTER COMMONS ANYMORE.

CORRECT? THIS, THIS, THIS IS STILL THE BUCK AUTHOR COMMENTS.

.

OKAY.

IT'S STILL UNDER THAT UMBRELLA.

IT'S JUST A MASTER PLAN WITHIN THE UMBRELLA, RIGHT? RIGHT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

PERMIT PERMIT.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, WALTER.

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU.

ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

CAN YOU PULL OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT? OH, I'M SORRY.

I'M JUST SHARING THROUGH IT.

SORRY.

YEAH.

UH, YEAH.

DO YOU WANT TO, WE I'LL, WE WE CAN BE NICE AND BRIEF.

SO WE'VE SEEN IT BEFORE.

THAT'S JUST SAY REAL QUICK.

THANK YOU, DAN, FOR PRESENTING OUR PROJECT.

UH, APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

UM, JUST, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A REITERATION, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'RE BACK WITH A NEW MASTER PLAN INSTEAD OF A MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT JUST TO KEEP IT SIMPLER AND SO THAT WE CAN CONSIDER THIS TRACK, UH, AND THE MASTER PLAN FOR IT WITHOUT HAVING TO GET INTO DETAILS ASSOCIATED WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE PART OF THE WALTER CROSSROADS, UH, MASTER PLANS.

SO THANKS FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.

AND, UM, NO, I MEAN THAT'S REALLY IT.

UH, IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR US AS APPLICANT, WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OF THOSE.

WE HAVE OUR WHOLE DESIGN TEAM HERE TODAY WITH WARD EDWARDS, UH, WITH JONES'S KEY FOR, AND EVEN OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER, UH, AND THEN US MILLSTONE ARE HERE TODAY.

SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

ANYBODY? NO THANK YOU.

GOOD.

THANK YOU.

DAN, CAN YOU PUT UP YOUR SCREEN AGAIN WITH THE, I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO TOWN STAFF FIND THAT THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 3.9 0.3 OF THE U D O CAN BE MET WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION PROVIDE RECOMMENDATION OF ADDITIONAL APPROVAL TO THE TOWN COUNCIL FOR THE PARCEL BE DASH ONE INITIAL MASTER PLAN NUMBER ONE, THE STATEMENT SHALL BE PLACED ON THE INITIAL MASTER PLAN DECLARING THAT ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE MASTER PLAN SHALL PERFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BEFIT COUNTY CONNECTS 2021 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN.

HERE IS AN AERIAL PHOTO SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

UM, PRECEDING THIS APPLICATION, THE THE APPLICANT HAD REQUESTED A MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT THAT CAME BEFORE YOU.

YOU GUYS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO TOWN COUNCIL.

IT ULTIMATELY GOT APPROVED AT TOWN COUNCIL, UH, PRIOR TO THE AMENDMENT.

THE ROAD THAT'S HERE, IT'S ACTUALLY BLOWN UP OVER HERE TO THE RIGHT, WAS SHOWN THE SAME AS THE REST OF THESE.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RESIDENTIAL ROAD THAT PROVIDED, UH, PROVIDED ACCESS OUT TO, TO, UH, C ONE 70, UH, CUTTING ACROSS WHAT WE CALL PARCEL YZ, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THE, THE APPLICANT REQUESTED THAT THAT ROAD BE TURNED INTO AN EMERGENCE ACCESS ROAD ONLY, AND IT WOULD HAVE TWO GATES ON IT.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE GATES BETTER WHEN I PULL UP THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED AT TOWN COUNCIL.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR LANE AND WILL REQUIRE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS REVIEWING LANDSCAPING, LIGHTING AND ARCHITECTURE.

SO THAT WILL COME BEFORE YOU AGAIN, A TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM.

ANALYZING THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED ROADWAY CHANGES WAS PROVIDED AS PART OF THE MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT.

AND THE FINDING WAS THAT BASED ON THE CAPACITY ANALYSIS, REMOVING ACCESS TO HAGAR STREET WILL HAVE A MINIMAL IMPACT ON THE SURROUNDING ROAD NETWORK.

SO THAT WAS BROUGHT TO COUNCIL AS PART OF THE MASTER PLAN, BUT BROUGHT UP AGAIN HERE AS A REMINDER.

THE APPLICANT PROVIDED A RESPONSE TO COMMENTS ON JUNE 28.

UM, PLEASE BE AWARE WHEN YOU, AND I'M ONE OF SIX PEOPLE UP HERE, SO THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS, I FEEL THE SAYING, BUT I THINK THEY DO.

THE ARCHITECTURE THAT IS PRESENTED ON THAT WEBSITE IS VERY STARK AND NOT NECESSARY NECESSARILY IN THE LOW COUNTRY VERNACULAR AS IT ADDRESSES ONE 70.

THAT MAY BE A CHALLENGE AND I TRUST, I TRUST STAFF TO WORK ON IT, UH, WITH THE APPLICANT.

AND YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE SOMEWHAT, UH, BUT JUST KNOW THAT THAT WHAT'S ON THAT WEBSITE IS NOT GREAT.

OKAY.

OKAY.

I WAS, I WAS CONSUMING THE SAME THING BECAUSE THE BACK OF THE BUILDINGS IS WHAT'S FACING.

WHAT'S THAT? IT'S GONNA BE A BIT OF A CHALLENGE.

YEAH, THE BACK'S GONNA BE A CHALLENGE.

THE LANDSCAPING WILL HAVE TO AND, AND WE'RE GETTING AHEAD OF OURSELVES HERE, BUT, UM, SOME OF THE RENDERINGS ARE REALLY COOL LOOKING, BUT NOT NECESSARILY IN WHAT WE'RE TASKED WITH DOING.

SO JUST DON'T WANT YOU ALL TO MAKE A BUNCH OF, DO A BUNCH OF WORK BEFORE YOU COME TO STAFF WITH THE APPLICATION THAT, THAT MAY HAVE TO BE RE REWARDED.

THAT'S ALL.
