[Additional Item]

REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR FROM INSIDE STREET SAID SETBACK. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD HOW ARE YOU GOOD. SO THIS IS JUST A CONTINUATION FROM LACK OF OKAY I COULD BE I THINK I HEARD THE MICROPHONE WAS YOURS. OKAY.

OKAY, YOU CAN CONTINUE. OKAY. SO WE HEARD FROM THE LAST TIME THAT WE WERE HERE WE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF PERSPECTIVE HOUSE PLACEMENTS DONE AND THEY ALL DO A PROPOSED DRIVEWAY. SO I SAW HILLARY'S NOTES BACK TO YOU GUYS WHERE SHE SAID TO THAT SHE DID NOT RECOMMEND IT AND ONE OF THEM ONE OF THE REASONS WAS THAT THERE WAS NO DRIVEWAY PLACEMENT BUT ON ALL FOUR OF THEM IT IS ON THEIR HOUSE SO THEY'RE ALL ON THEIR I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU PAINT LIKE ON THE FRONT THE FIRST PAGE IF YOU LOOK IN THE FRONT OF ALL JOY ROAD IT SAYS PROPOSED COMING IN OFF ALL DRAWING IT'S NOT BOLDED LIKE WE HAD ASKED BUT IT'S THERE SECOND PAGE IS COMING IN I'LL TALK TO THOSE ON BROADWAY NOW THAT'S ON THE PROPERTY AND THEN ON THE SECOND PAGE IT'S TROUT STREET IS COMING OFF OF TROUT STREET SAME WITH THE THIRD AND THEN ON THE FOURTH PAGE IS BACK IN OF ALL

[00:05:07]

JOY AGAIN AND I'M OVER THE BOARD PREFERS FOR THE DRIVEWAY I DON'T HAVE A PREFERENCE SO IT SHOWS THE THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE FURTHER BACK ON THE PROPERTY LIKE WE HAD DISCUSSED LAST TIME AND THEN MODIFIED BIT TO THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT AND THEN AGAIN SUBMITTED WITH THE PACKAGE ARE OTHER HOMES THAT ARE FLANKING THIS PROPERTY THAT ARE LARGER IN SQUARE FOOTAGE PHOTOS OF OTHER PROPERTIES ADJACENT ADJACENT AND A LITTLE BIT DOWN THE STREET WHERE WE HAD TALKED ABOUT STEP AND ONE OF THEM EVEN HAS THEIR STAIRS IN THE SIDEWALK ON THE CORNER OF PROPERTY. SO THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE IS ACTUALLY SITTING BACK FURTHER FROM THE ROAD AND THE PROPERTY LINES THAN EVEN THE HOUSE TO THE LEFT IT BUT THERE'S NOT ROOM FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY IF YOU'RE SHOWING LIKE NON SEE THE PARK WITHIN A TYPICAL PARK IS NON BOB 18 SO ON THE FRONT I HAVE ABOUT TEN YOU HAVE 9.32 FEET ON THE PROPERTY AND YOU HAVE 9.32 FEET ON THE PROPERTY BUT THE HOUSE TO THE LEFT OF ME 4.67 FEET OF PROPERTY TO THE AND THEY'RE USING THAT AS PARKING RIGHT THERE AND BUT IF WE TAKE RIGHT SIDE THEN I HAVE 16 FEET OVER THERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE COMING IN OFF OF BUT ONLY TEN FEET ON THE PROPERTY TWO WE CAN MOVE THE PARKING OVER HERE WHERE ON THE CORNER AND BRING IN OFF OF ALL WHERE WE CAN MOVE IT ONCE TO LEFT IS ON A SINGLE PARCEL WHAT DOES THIS DO FOR THIS PURPOSE PURPOSE TO SHOW THEM THAT THEIR DRIVEWAY ARE DIRECTLY OFF AND NO I MEAN THAT IS NOT JUST LIKE YOU LIKE TO SEE THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. I KNOW BUT HOW MUCH OF YOUR DRIVEWAY AND STAIRS WELL THE PORCH IS BUILT INTO THE STRUCTURE IT'S LIKE IT'S PART OF THE HOUSE NOT ONLY IS IT ■NOT GOING TOBE IMPORTANT AND WHEN YOU SAY SMALLER LIKE I'M HOPING TO TAKE YOU TWO FEET OFF THE BACK OF THE HOUSE THREE FEET LIKE I'M OPEN TO DOING THAT THESE

[00:10:05]

TALKING TO STORE I'M SORRY TWO STORY YES SMALLER FOOTPRINT AND HOW MUCH OF GROUND IT TAKES UP.

SO IF YOU WENT UP AND DOUBLED YOUR SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE HOUSE, THE FOOTPRINT WOULD BE HALF IDEALLY BUT TO GO UP IN THAT AREA CAN'T AFFORD THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER EASY HUNDRED K TO 200 K. I WOULD LOVE THAT THE ONE DAY WE'RE AT A TOTAL OF AROUND 39% LOT COVERAGE WHAT'S THE WHAT WOULD THE DRIVEWAY BE MADE OUT OF IT WOULD JUST BE MADE OUT OF AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST PROPOSING LIKE A DIRT DRIVEWAY GOING IN NOT CONCRETE, NOT ROCK. SO IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE IMPERVIOUS IMPERVIOUS RANDOM. SO YOUR PLAN IS TO JUST LEAVE IT THERE FOR RIGHT NOW YES I MEAN IT WOULD BE DRESSED UP BUT IT WOULD FALL IN LINE WITH PROBABLY 70% OF THE HOMES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE THAT JUST HAVE GRASS AND DIRT ENTRANCES IN THEIR HOMES TO AND EVEN WITH THESE TYPES THAT THAT 42% I THINK THE ALLOWABLE 40% OR TOWARD LAW COVERAGE SO WHERE IS THAT HOUSE CLEANED OUT SO THAT'S BRINGING PEOPLE AND PUTTING AWAY ONE OR 2%.

IS THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE QUESTION ARE WE OKAY THIS IS A MODULAR HOME, CORRECT? CORRECT. IF WE TOOK THREE FEET OFF THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.

IT WOULD TAKE IT. YOU ARE RIGHT. I'M SORRY I WAS THE WRONG SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE HOUSE. IT WOULD TAKE IT DOWN 40% AND GIVE THREE MORE FEET EITHER IN THE FRONT OR THE BACK. WE HAVE APPROVAL IF WE TAKE FOUR YOU KNOW A I DON'T KNOW MY BEST VIEW. YOU OKAY SO YOU WOULD LET HEAR FROM THE COUNTY AND WE WOULD DO THAT TO YOU GUYS IF NO ONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THAT. SO GET A CHANCE TO TALK AGAIN AFTER COUNTY SPEAKS IT'S THANKSGIVING. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. YEAH LISTEN, THIS SECTION DOES APPEAR TO HAVE A LOT OF COVERAGE, OKAY? IT REFERENCES THAT IT HAS A TWO BUT IT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T HAVE YEAH. AND ALL THE OTHER SECTIONS HAS 30% OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SO I THINK THIS ONE IS JUST WITHIN THE SETBACKS I TRIED TO MOVE THIS HOUSE AROUND ON EACH ONE OF THESE THINGS AND I CANNOT SEE WHERE THEY HAVE PARKING I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE DRAIN FIELDS ARE SO TO EVEN SAY MOVE THE PARK TO TROUT STREET WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE DRAIN FIELDS ARE. WE JUST SEE A SEPTIC TANK. THIS HOUSE IS JUST TOO BIG FOR

[00:15:06]

THIS LOT. IT'S IT'S THE LOT IS 81 FEET THE HOUSE IS 58 FEET AND YOU KNOW, THEY KEEP BRINGING UP WHAT'S ALREADY OUT THERE. WE HAVE A CODE NOW I DON'T KNOW WHEN THOSE HOUSES WERE BUILT. SO TO CONTINUE WHAT'S ALREADY THERE THAT MAY BE NON-CONFORMING I JUST FEEL THAT THIS HOUSE IS TOO BIG AND I CAN'T SEE WHERE WE CAN PUT THIS HOUSE AND HAVE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PARKING YOU CAN PUT YOUR CAR IN AND NOT HAVE IT IN THE ROAD AND I JUST RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL SO I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO THE BOARD TO DECIDE I, I, I DON'T SEE WHERE I COULD PULL THIS PULL THIS OFF AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

I, I DON'T SEE ANY PARKING AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ON STREET PART I ON LOCKED PARKING YOU DON'T PARK ON STREET SO SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE CONTINUING THE NON-CONFORMITY THAT'S OUT THERE OH SO IF THEY WERE TO TAKE THREE FEET OFF IF THEY WERE TO TAKE THREE FEET OFF AND MAYBE PULL THE HOUSE BACK TO THE REAR AND LEAST GET I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO GET, YOU KNOW, 18 FEET IN THE FRONT I DON'T THINK THEY WILL BE IS IT'S ONLY NINE NOW SO I THREE FEET IS NOT GOING TO DO IT SO I EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT PULLING THE HOUSE UP TO MEET THE ONE NEXT DOOR AND THEN IN THE BACK YOU KNOW PULLING OFF TROUT AND BUT THERE'S STILL NOT ENOUGH ROOM BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE DRAIN FIELDS ARE SO THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM BACK THERE TO AT LEAST ONE CAR AND I TRIED 14 FROM THE REAR DO THE OTHER HOMES ALL HAVE ALL STREET PARKING OR IS THAT JUST THE PROBLEM? I DON'T KNOW.

I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE. I MEAN YOU LOOK ON GOOGLE EARTH, YOU SEE THE PAD, THEIR DRIVEWAY, YOU KNOW, BUT EVERYBODY'S TO HAVE A DRIVEWAY ONTO THE ROAD SO ARE THEY PARKING THERE MAYBE I DON'T KNOW. AND LIKE I SAID, MAYBE THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS OR MAYBE THEY LOST LAND WHEN THEY TOOK THE RIGHT WAY FOR ALL JOINTS AND THERE ENDED UP WITH FOUR FEET FROM THE ROAD RIGHT OF WAY.

I DON'T HAVE A HISTORY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE CAN. THANK YOU MISS HILLARY OF OF QUITE SURE THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK AND HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION ME WHICH DIRECTION IS YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR DREAM FOR YOU FROM HERE SO WE DID HAVE THE DRAIN FIELD INSPECTED SO THE SEPTIC THE DRAIN FIELD RIGHT NOW IS GOING TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY ABOUT 43RD THEY SAID ABOUT 30 TO 40 FEET SO THAT'S WHAT TWO THREE LINES MAYBE CORRECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THE PUBLIC SO WE'RE OBVIOUSLY AMENABLE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES IN TURN, YOU KNOW, TAKE A FEW FEET OFF OF THE HOUSE.

HOWEVER, LIKE WE SAID BEFORE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP RIGHT HERE, THIS IS AN OLD COMMUNITY AND THE OLDER WHITE AREA THESE ARE ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING LOTS AND TWO OF THESE LOTS WERE COMBINED JUST MAKE ONE HOUSE PLACEMENT SUITABLE SO BETWEEN THIS IS AN OLD COMMUNITY KIND OF LIKE THE MOSSY OAKS AREA WHERE YOU'VE GONE IN AND NOW AND YOU'VE CHANGED THE ZONING AND YOU'VE CHANGED THE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS AND THE SETBACKS AND YOU'VE IT'S IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIT ANYTHING AFFORDABLE ON THIS PARTICULAR LOT RIGHT HERE.

WELL I JUST I JUST HONESTLY THINK THAT I MEAN A FEW FEET HERE AND THERE MIGHT MAKE IT BETTER IF YOU KNOW, FOR COUNTY IF THEY WANT TO APPROVE THAT BUT THERE ARE SOME HOUSES AND YOU HAVE PHOTOS OF THOSE HOUSES THAT LITERALLY HAVE THEIR STAIRS FROM THEIR SECOND FLOOR AND THE SIDEWALK AND WE'RE NOT ASKING TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR ANYTHING LIKE THAT OR YOU KNOW

[00:20:03]

THEY'RE IN YES. PEOPLE ARE PARKING WHEN THEY ARE PARKING THEIR CARS AND I WOULDN'T CALL THE RIGHT AWAY AREA BUT THE ONE HOUSE TO THE LEFT IS LITERALLY AND I SEE IT ON THE SURVEY. THE SURVEYORS DID IT LESS THAN FIVE FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE THEIR STRUCTURE NOT THEIR DRIVEWAY THEIR STRUCTURE. THIS HOUSE IS PUSHED FURTHER BACK FROM THAT I JUST BUT THEY'RE ALSO 20 FEET FROM THEIR SIDE PROPERTY LINE SO THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM THERE THERE WHAT ? BUT WE'RE DISCUSSING Y'ALL'S HOUSE NOT THE NEIGHBORS AND YOU SAID THIS IS THE SMALLEST FOOTPRINT THAT YOU THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COME UP WITH SO FAR WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK I MEAN MAKES A MAJOR BUT WE ALL KNOW THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION THESE DAYS IS MORE THAN DOUBLED IN THE PAST OF YEARS.

YOU WOULDN'T THINK SO BUT YEAH I MEAN TWO STORY OPTIONS THE SAME SQUARE FOOTAGE.

YEAH, IT WAS ABOUT $100,000 MORE. YES, INSURANCE UNFORTUNATELY AND NOT ASKING TO DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S ALREADY EXISTING IN THIS COMMUNITY NOW AND THE SELLER OF THE PROPERTY HAD A LETTER LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT TIME FROM BEAUFORT COUNTY I GRANTED IT'S PRETTY OLD BUT THERE'S NO EXPIRATION DATE ON THIS LETTER ONLY TO BE AFTER THE FACT THAT THIS LETTER'S ONLY GOOD FOR TWO YEARS IT WAS WRITTEN BY ARTHUR CUMMINGS BUT THERE'S NO THERE'S NO NOTE ON HERE THAT SAYS THIS LETTER'S ONLY GOOD FOR TWO YEARS.

BUT IT BASICALLY STATES THAT WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS DEMOLISHED ON THERE THAT ONE COULD BE BUILT BACK ON THE SAME FOOTPRINT I BELIEVE IS WHAT SAID.

BUT NOW WE'RE COMBINING TWO LOTS AND YOU'RE NOT HONORING THE SAME FOOTPRINT.

OF COURSE IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT DOESN'T MATTER. THAT LETTER DOESN'T COUNT FOR THE SECOND NOT IT COUNTS FOR BUT EVEN ON THAT EVEN ON THE FIRST LOT YOU SAID IT WAS SEVEN BUT EVEN ON THE FIRST LOT HUNDRED AND 50 SQUARE FEET EVEN ON THE FIRST LOT YOU SAID THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THE SETBACKS MATTER ANYMORE BECAUSE IT'S CHANGED IN THIS LETTER EXPIRED TWO YEARS AFTER IT WAS WRITTEN BY A WHITE PERSON THAT GOES WITH MATTER BUT THERE'S NO EXPIRATION DATE ON THE LETTER THAT GOES BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING TO SHOW WHAT THE SETBACKS WERE. WELL, I'M SURE WE COULD FIND ONE.

I'M JUST SAYING EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED AND NOTHING THERE'S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN'T BUILD YOU CAN'T BUILD IN THERE RIGHT NOW ANYTHING LIKE WHAT'S ALREADY BECAUSE THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS DON'T ALLOW FOR IT. EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.

SO NO MATTER WHAT SHE DOES IN THERE IF SHE HAS COMPLETELY CONFORM IT WILL LOOK COMPLETELY OUT OF PLACE. RIGHT. I JUST LOOK LIKE A SKINNY TRAILER. I MEAN 30 FEET IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL FOR A HOME YOU'D HAVE TO JUST GET A SINGLE WIDE AND YOU WANT TO THROW A SINGLE WIDE YOU ALL JOY IS ALREADY TOO MANY RIGHT THERE. I MEAN NO ONE. OKAY.

I WAS IS THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS NOW ONE OR TWO THINGS WE CAN DO WE CAN MOVE ON THIS I DON'T IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO BACK AND COME UP WITH ANY OTHER OPTIONS OR WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON THIS WAS BEFORE US THAN THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF WE MOVE FORWARD THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE YOU BACK BEFORE US NOT YOU KNOW NOT SAYING I KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME IS GOING TO BE.

SO IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS SO WE CAN CONTINUE WITH THIS AND MOVE FORWARD OR YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, WITHDRAW AND TRY TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE. WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING I DO BECAUSE WE DID EVERYTHING YOU SUGGESTED THE LAST TIME WELL, I GUESS BASED ON WHAT WAS BEFORE US IT'S THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT OBVIOUSLY PARKING IS ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES WHICH WE PAY FOR SOLUTION IT COST ME HUNDRED DOLLARS IN ADDITION TO THE SIX GRAND SERVING TO PRODUCE WHAT YOU GUYS ASKED THE LAST TIME I PAID FOR A LOT OF POCKETS OF THE MULTIPLE OFTEN SO WE WOULDN'T BE IN HERE WITH THAT. OKAY WELL I DON'T WORK WORK AND I DON'T WANT TO HOLD YOUR TIME. THAT'S WHY I ASK THE QUESTION OF X YOU KNOW THIS IS MY HOME SO AND ALL THE TIME OKAY AND I'M SAYING AS FAR AS IF WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS SO AS THIS ANSWER IS NO PLACE TO PUT A CAR ON SITE YOU COULD ELEVATE THE HOUSE A FREE PARK UNDERNEATH IT . I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COST IS FOR THAT PRIOR A LOT AND SURVEYS AND DETERMINE IF IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT'S IN ALL JOY AND THE GROUNDS NOT AS

[00:25:03]

STABLE AS OTHER OKAY ALL RIGHT WELL YOU JUST TELL ME DO YOU WANT US TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS OR WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO IT RIGHT NOW? SO LIKE HILLARY WAS JUST SAYING, SHE SHE THOUGHT ABOUT PULLING THIS HOUSE FORWARD TO MEET THE OTHER ONE SO THAT WOULD BE ONE ANOTHER FIVE FEET FOUR AND A HALF FEET FORWARD WHICH WOULD THEN LEAVE 1819 FEET IN THE REAR. IS THAT ENOUGH FOR IS IT FOR FAMILIES THAT THING ON THE BACK OF ON RIGHT THAT'S IS BUT ARE YOU GOING OVER YOUR SUBJECT FIELD THEN ARE YOU GUYS THIS IS GOING TO USE THIS INSTEAD OF THE TO THE 40 FEET YOU SAID 3030 THIS THAT'S A PUBLIC SEWER TO TIE INTO INTO THAT AND WE'RE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S PUBLIC SEWER AVAILABLE FOR TIE IN HERE . WELL WITH THAT BEING SAID IT WOULD YOUR DREAM FOR WOULD BE INTO THE DRIVEWAY I DON'T KNOW IF YOU PUT YOUR SIMPLE THING FORWARD TO THE TWO INSTEAD OF DOING SORT OF FLOW OF THINGS LIKE REDIRECT THE DRAIN FIELD IF IT'S POSSIBLE SO IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO REDIRECT THIS UP THE DRAIN FIELD AND PULL THE HOUSE FORWARD FIVE FEET AND PARK IN THE REAR WITH THIS WOULD CONSIDER APPROVAL. I LIKE THIS TO BE DOWN.

I MEAN IT WOULD HAVE TO I MEAN WE'RE WE'RE ASKING YOU'RE ASKING FOR VARIANCES ON ALL SIDES EXCEPT THE REAR OF THE SO THEY TOOK OFF THREE FEET AND THEN MOVE FORWARD TO FIVE SO THAT AND READ RACHEL'S AND I BRING THIS UP TO YOU GUYS I HAVE A LITTLE AND THAT WOULD BE 22 FEET IN THE REAR SO THAT WAS DONE IF THEY NEED TO DRAIN FIELD THEY'RE THE BEST PLACE FOR THE HOUSE TO BE INSIDE THE THAT I GIVE THEM 19 AND GO SEE I KNOW NINE DONE ANYTHING YET SO WE PICK THIS UP AND MOVE IT BACK FIVE INCHES RIGHT NOW IS A TEN SCALE ON THE STAGING WHEN WANTED TO OH YEAH ONE TWO YOU TWO. OKAY SO JUST IT'S ABOUT EIGHT FEET MOVING BE BACK TO THE FIVE FEET MA'AM AND THEN WE'LL PICK RIGHT NOW THAT'S WHAT THE BETTER 14 YOU KNOW 15 AND A HALF 13. SO THAT THE FRONT IS WELL WHICH ONE IS THIS IS THIS STEP IS ONLY NINE AND THE HOUSE WHERE OF YOU WANT THE SECOND I MEAN YOU COULD PULL OUT AND HAVE THE DRIVEWAY COME IN ALL THE WAY UP GO IN PARALLEL WITH ALL THESE EVEN IF YOU'VE LEFT THAT HERE TEN FEET FROM THE BACK YOU HAVE 1319 BUT IF YOU PULLED IN THIS WAY FROM THAT'S TOO CLOSE TO THE INTERSECTION. THIS IS DOORWAY COMING OFF.

[00:30:06]

YEAH. YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN SO THEY CAN LEAVE IT RIGHT HERE AND MOVE IT OVER. SO WHERE'S WHICH ONE WOULD BE DIFFERENT? FIVE IN THE BACK. MM. AND THEN THAT WOULD GIVE THEM 90 FEET THEY'RE IN THE DRIVEWAY OVER HERE AND THEY IDOLIZES THIS PORCH BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE 85 AS PART OF THE HOUSE AND IT'S ENGAGED IT'S PART OF IT'S UNDERNEATH AS WELL YOU KNOW DON'T STAY DOWN SO BACK HERE BUT BE REAL AND THEN WHAT VERSION WHEN LOOKING AT YOUR I JUST SO MOVED IT DOWN AND ALL THE WAY FROM THIS JUST THAT'S ALL THE STUFF COMING UP FROM THE SIDE SO YES THEY CAN DO THIS THAT'S ON THE FRONT OF THE DRIVEWAY OVER SO INSTEAD OF STEPS BEING NINE FEET THE STEPS WOULD BE 9050 FEET ON THE OH YEAH THERE'S ANOTHER SYSTEM ON HERE. OKAY SO THIS PROJECT DID YOU HEAR WHAT WAS SAID? YES, I WAS SUPPOSED TO WRITE THAT DOWN TO MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THEM WELL YES, THEY WILL HAVE EVERYTHING FOR YOU. SO WITH SO YOU WOULD NEED A YOU HAVE A A NEED A FIVE FOOT SETBACK FROM THE REAR WE MOVED EVERYTHING BACK WHERE YOU PARKED IN THE FRONT THAT WORKS AND OKAY SO IT ONLY WORKS BETTER BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A BACK DOOR WE HAVE TO DO THIS ON THE 1925 SO 66 OKAY.

MEDIAN LISTING PRICE IS 635,000 WITH A VERY IMPRESSIVE $392 PER SQUARE FOOT.

NOW I HAVE A IT'S A STATEMENT ALSO A QUESTION. I MEAN WE HAVE EXPERI FENCED NO COUNTRY IS LOW COUNTRY. SO WE'RE FINALLY AT THE POINT WHERE WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF OUR FOREVER HOME NOT OUR HOME. ALL RIGHTY.

SO MY QUESTION IS THERE ARE RENTAL PROPERTIES OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE RENTAL PROPERTIES FOR EXAMPLE LET'S SAY HILTON HEAD THERE'S 42 HILTON HEAD ISLAND 43.

HOW MANY RENTAL PROPERTIES ARE ON SAINT HELENA ISLAND? SO JUST TO SO MY QUESTION TO THE OWNERS IS IS THIS A FOR RENT BY OWNER IS THIS A AIRBNB ?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE HERE AND WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE HERE AND ASK FOR A VARIANCE? I MEAN DID YOU NOT KNOW WHEN YOU PURCHASED THE PROPERTY THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO OBTAIN A VARIANCE AND GET APPROVAL TO HAVE IT BE A RENTAL UNIT 80% OF THE TIME AND WHERE OUR PROPERTY IS WE'RE ALMOST TO THE WE ON THE WEST SIDE.

THEREFORE I CAN SEE THREE 3 TO 4 POINT DRIVEWAY FROM THE COMINGS AND GOINGS COMINGS AND GOINGS COMINGS AND GOINGS. THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE IN IS A AMAZING QUIET AND A SLEEPY LITTLE PIECE OF PARADISE. SO PLEASE ASK THE OWNERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[00:45:01]

EVER HOME NOT HOUSE HOME AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE HERE IN BEAUFORT AS IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL IT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN AMERICA THANK YOU MISS CATHERINE.

MR. CHAIRMAN, MY NAME IS CATHERINE CANAVAN. MY MICHAEL AND I PURCHASED OUR HOME AT 3694. ROAD IN 2005 AND WE BECAME PERMANENT FULL TIME RESIDENTS IN 2011.

WE LOOKED AT QUITE A NUMBER OF PROPERTIES BEFORE WE SETTLED ON THE WE HAVE AND ONE OF THE REASONS WE PICKED THE SMALL COMMUNITY OF 4.0 IS THAT THERE WERE NO SHORT TERM RENTALS AND OUR DOES NOT ALLOW THEM THIS PIECE PROPERTY IS LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE ENTRANCE TO OUR COMMUNITY IT'S NOT GATED COMMUNITY BUT THERE IS A THERE ARE TWO GATE POSTS THERE AND HAVING SHORT TERM RENTAL THAT CLOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY WE BELIEVE WOULD CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITY AND NOT FOR THE BETTER I MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BOTH MEMBERS OBVIOUSLY OF THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO PASS WHATEVER EXTRA TIME I HAVE TO SALLY ATHERTON, WHO'S THE PRESIDENT OF OUR HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION WE AS A GROUP OBJECT TO THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A SHORT TERM RENTAL RIGHT NEXT DOOR LITERALLY TO OUR PROPERTY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU. YES, PLEASE. SALLY GOOD EVENING, MR. AND MEMBERS OF THE ZONING BOARD. WE APPRECIATE YOUR LISTENING TO US.

MY NAME IS SALLY ATHERTON. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION OF THE POINT. WE'RE A SMALL GROUP OF ABOUT 20 LOTS AT THE END OF FOUR POINT ROAD WHICH IS A DEAD END ROAD THAT COMES OFF OF 21 RIGHT THERE AT THE FIRES AT THE FIRESTONE WE HAVE ABOUT TEN HOUSES AND TWO OR THREE FOLKS AS WE JUST HEARD ARE GETTING READY TO BUILD IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT THREE THREE TO IT IS IMMEDIATELY A MUCH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IT HAS NO WATER ACCESS AND IT HAS NO DOCK. THE FOLKS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ALL WITH A COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS AND WATER ACCESS AND AND WE CAN SEE PERHAPS SHORT TERM RENTALS THINKING SINCE IT'S IN PROXIMITY PERHAPS THINKING THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE DOCK ESPECIALLY FOR THE PROPERTY THAT IMMEDIATELY ABUTS THE THREE, THREE, TWO THEY HAVE A DOCK AND WATER ACCESS AND THERE'S THERE'S NO FENCE. THERE'S NOTHING NOTHING THERE. I MEAN THE MEMBERS I PULLED OUR ASSOCIATION OUR AGE AWAY AND WERE CONCERNED ABOUT SEVERAL THINGS RELATED TO THE SHORT TERM RENTALS IS NOISE WE'RE DOWN AT THE END OF THE ROAD AND WE'RE ABOUT A THIRD OF A MILE FROM WHERE YOU TURN OFF EITHER TOOK OFF WHARF OR TO VILLAGE CREEK AND THERE'S GENERALLY I MEAN MANY TIMES YOU CAN BE WALKING ON THE ROAD. THERE'S NO TRAFFIC DOWN THERE.

I COULD, YOU KNOW, WALK UP THE ROAD FOR AN HOUR AND THERE'S NOT A CAR THAT WOULD BE DOWN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR IT'S ALSO OF COURSE A DEAD END STREET. SO THERE'S A CUL DE SAC.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT YOU SEE THAT COME DOWN THERE ARE NOT OWNERS ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE LOST WHICH CERTAINLY HAPPENS. WE'RE CONCERNED LIKE I SAID ABOUT THE POTENTIALLY USE OR AN ILLEGAL USE IF YOU WILL OF OUR SHARED DOCKS IF SOMEBODY THINKS THEY HAD THE ACCESS TO THEM AND OF COURSE THAT COULD CREATE A LIABILITY FOR THOSE THAT ARE THE OWNERS WITHIN OUR ASSOCIATION WE PRETTY MUCH KNOW WHO EVERYBODY IS. SO THE FACT IS HAVE HAVING AND NOT KNOWING WHO IS THERE IT DOES RAISE SOME CONCERNS FOR INDIVIDUALS AS YOU CAN IMAGINE MOST US ARE ALL OF US MOVED THERE LITERALLY. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE LIVED THERE NOW FOR TEN YEARS. WE'RE INTERESTED IN PEACE AND PEACE AND QUIET AND CERTAINLY THE IDEA OF HAVING A BUSINESS BEING OPERATED THE ROAD IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT APPEALING TO ANY OF US AND HAS A POTENTIAL OF COURSE OF LOWERING PROPERTY VALUES.

MANY OF US THREE OR FOUR OF US AT LEAST ALSO COMMUNICATED WITH AUSTIN ABOUT OUR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ABOUT THIS SHORT RENTAL AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

THEN YOU SAID THIS PROPERTY BUT UP TO THE POINT HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION SAID THAT IT'S RIGHT IT'S THE FIRST PROPERTY IF YOU WERE COMING OUT OF OUR ASSOCIATION FOR US I COULDN'T FIND A MAP OF IF YOU'RE COMING OUT OF OUR ASSOCIATION IT WOULD BE THE FIRST PROPERTY TO THE

[00:50:02]

LIEUTENANT IMMEDIATELY BUT ABUTS THE LAST PROPERTY TO THEM TO THE LEFT WHICH IS IN OUR ASSOCIATION THE YOU DON'T SEE IT IN THE PREVIOUS THING HAVE SAID THAT YOU HAD COVENANTS AGAINST SHORT TERM RENTAL. YES WE DO AND THE PROPERTY NO IT WOULD NOT BECAUSE THIS IS OUTSIDE OF OUR COVENANTS IS THIS WE DON'T ALLOW SHORT TERM RENTALS NOR DO WE ALLOW BUSINESSES IN OUR IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU PACK IT IN THE WELL THE CONCERN IS THIS IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO IT AND IT'S NOT WE'RE IN SEPARATED I MEAN THERE'S SEVERAL LOTS AS YOU GO DOWN FROM POINT ROAD THAT ARE ON DEVELOP THERE'S SOME VERY LARGE TWO OR THREE ACRE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE NOTHING ON THEM BUT THIS IS THE HOUSE IS IMMEDIATELY OUTSIDE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SOMETHING WE DO YOUR CONCERNS AND I APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT HERE EXPRESSING YOUR YOU KNOW YOUR CONCERNS AS WELL. WE DO TAKE CONCERNS INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. IS ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC FOR THIS ITEM? SO WE CLOSED PUBLIC COMMENTS OF LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE APPLICANT DO WE NEED TO HEAR FROM THE PLANNING PLANNING SIR I MUST DO SO MR. CHAIR. I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

YES. WHAT KIND OF PLANS DO YOU HAVE IN PLACE IF THERE A CROWD OF PEOPLE THERE CAUSING TROUBLE WHO'S BE RESPONSIBLE? SURE.

YEAH. AND I DO APPRECIATE AND EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS AND CONCERNS. THEY'RE THEY WERE VERY MUCH OUR OWN CONCERNS AS WELL.

WE THIS IS NOT JUST AN INVESTMENT PROPERTY US THIS IS OUR SECOND HOME.

WE LOVE IT. IT'S JUST OUR ONLY ONE RENTAL PROPERTY THAT WE OWN AND WE WOULD LOVE TO COME RETIRE HERE ONE DAY TOO. SO WE VERY MUCH WANT OUR PROPERTY OUR HOUSE, THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE WELL RESPECTED AND TAKEN CARE OF . SO WE DO HAVE SEVERAL WE HAVE HOUSE RULES THAT WE SPECIFICALLY WE PLAN TO STATE THAT ONLY THAT YOU KNOW TO SIX GUESTS MAXIMUM ARE ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY AT ANY TIME DURING THE THE RENTAL PERIOD WE DON'T ALLOW EXTRA GUESTS THERE SO YOU KNOW TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS LARGE PARTIES AND NOISES EXCESSIVE NOISE AND PARTIES THAT IS IN OUR RULES AS WELL NO PETS THINGS LIKE THAT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MITIGATE SOME OF THOSE THOSE RISKS OF JUST CAUSING A RUCKUS IN THE COMMUNITY.

ALSO WE'RE ON THE RENTAL PLATFORMS LIKE AIRBNB OR WE PLAN TO BE WE'RE NOT ON THERE RIGHT NOW BUT THEY ALLOW US TO ACTUALLY SCREEN AND VET GUESTS AS WELL.

SO WE ARE ONLY PLANNING ON TAKING IN GUESTS THAT HAVE A PROVEN RENTAL HISTORY THAT'S VERY POSITIVE WITH POSITIVE REVIEWS AT THIS TIME WE'RE NOT TAKING ANY FIRST TIME RENTERS JUST TO BRING THE RISK DOWN. IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES WE PLAN TO ADDRESS IT.

YOU IMMEDIATELY WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THE AUTHORITIES IN ASKING THEM TO LEAVE.

WE ALSO ARE FULLY PREPARED TO NOT INVITE GUESTS BACK IF THEY DO YOU KNOW BREAK ANYTHING OR DISRESPECT ANY OF OUR HOUSE RULES. YOU HAVE AN ONSITE POINT OF CONTACT THAT THE NEIGHBORS COULD CALL IF THERE'S ISSUES. SURE.

I MEAN WE HAVE NEIGHBORS ON BOTH SIDES THAT KNOW THIS THAT WE'VE SPOKEN TO THAT ACTUALLY WE'VE BEEN ON THE PHONE BEFORE THIS MEETING SAYING LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THEY CAN ALWAYS COME AND TEXT AND CALL US IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES THAT ARISE THAT THAT THEY.

SO YOU HAVE COME TO THE PROPERTY MANAGER AT THIS POINT WE HAVEN'T CHOSEN ONE.

NO BUT WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT PROPERTY MANAGERS AS WELL. ARE YOU GOING TO OUR PROPERTY? YES, WE ARE LOOKING INTO THEM BUT WE HAVEN'T YET CHOSEN ONE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS FIRST MY ONLY OTHER CONCERN IS THE SIX PEOPLE. MM HMM.

I MEAN, FOR THE MOST PART I THINK WE EXPECT THE FOUR JUST WITH THEY SEE TWO BEDROOMS THERE WILL PROBABLY BE FOUR I WE PUT IT TO SO THE SEPTIC HE THE INSPECTOR HE CAME OUT AND SAID WE WERE APPROVED FOR BETWEEN TO SIX PEOPLE I THINK FOR THE MOST PART IF PEOPLE SEE THIS LISTING THAT PULL OUT COUCH WILL PROBABLY BE USED FOR SMALL CHILDREN AND THINGS LIKE THAT BUT 4 TO 6 WAS KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR MIGHT

[00:55:07]

INVITE LESS TROUBLE IN SIX. THAT'S TRUE BUT YEAH WE'LL WE'LL TAKE THAT YEAH WE'LL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION. ARE YOU GOING TO JUST ADVERTISE FOR SO IS THIS KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE ASKING US TO DO THEN TO JUST CAP IT OUT FOR OR I THINK IS IT IS IT OKAY TO SAVE BETWEEN 4 TO 6 ON OUR LIST OR A CAN SLEEP TO SIX I GUESS IS DOING LIKE SIX IN THE POTENTIAL VISIT HERE? I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT. YOU COULD HAVE SIX INDIVIDUALS DRIVING IT WITH SIX DIFFERENT MEMBERS. YEAH BUT I THINK THE CHANCES OF THAT IS VERY UNLIKELY THAT SIX PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO SHARE THREE BEDS.

I'M HERE. OKAY. OKAY I UNDERSTAND.

YEAH. IF THAT'S SOMETHING DOES CONCERN YOU YOU'RE ASKING US TO DO THEN WE CAN DO THAT WELL AND I THINK HE'S SAYING THAT BECAUSE THAT WILL MINIMIZE I MEAN YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY RIGHT NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE VALID CONCERNS SO THE LEAST AMOUNT THE LESS PROBLEM WE COULD HAVE RIGHT YEAH I UNDERSTAND THAT.
