[8. Beaufort County School District is requesting a Special Use Permit for An Essential Access through a Freshwater Wetland. The property is located at 53 Cherry Point Road, Bluffton. The property is zoned T2- Rural (T2R).]
WILL PROBABLY COME CLOSE ON THE CURB AND I DON'T KNOW MAY BE SOME KIND OF SCHOOL DISTRICT RESPECT IS A QUESTION ESPECIALLY USED FOR THIS GUYS TO COME FOR GOOD EVENING CONNOR BLANEY WITH FORD EDWARDS ENGINEERING OF Y'ALL ARE DOING WELL I'M PART OF THE ENGINEERING TEAM REPRESENTING THIS PROJECT IT'S OAK TREE SCHOOL.YEAH WELL WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN? CONNOR BLANEY WITH WARD EDWARDS ENGINEERING. THIS IS A PROPOSED ROAD CONNECTION OUT AT OKATIE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. IF YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH OKATIE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ALL THE TRAFFIC FOR PICK UP AND DROP UP FUNNELS THROUGH A SINGLE POINT OF ACCESS THROUGH CHERRY POINT ROAD WHEN THE ADJACENT COMMUNITY MAYLAND CAME ON LINE PART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS OF ALIGNING THEIR ACCESS REQUIRED ALIGNING WITH THE ADJACENT ROAD OF RED OAKS LANE WHICH IS PARTIALLY ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY. SO AT THAT TIME EASEMENTS WERE GRANTED WHICH ALLOWED THAT ACCESS FROM MAINLAND BLUFF BUT IN RETURN ALLOWS AN ACCESS FOR THE SCHOOL TO MAKE A FUTURE ROAD CONNECTION TO THE PRITCHARD POINT INTERSECTION AT TIME THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS PROPOSING THAT FORMAL ROAD CONNECTION NOW THAT BLUFF HAS INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE TO SUPPORT THAT MAINLAND BLUFF HAS NOW INSTALLED AN APRON THAT THIS ROAD CONNECTION WOULD CONNECT TO. THE PROPOSED CONNECTION IS SPECIFICALLY FOR BUS TRAFFIC TO REMOVE THE BUSSES FROM THE OVERLOOK ACCESS WHERE ALL THE OTHER PARENTS AND VEHICLES TO PART OF THE ROAD DESIGN WE INCORPORATED SIDEWALK TO THE COMMUNITY SUCH THAT IF YOU LIVE THERE AND HAVE KIDS THAT GO TO OAKDALE YOU CAN EASILY WALK YOUR KID TO SCHOOL. WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING A GATED ACCESS WE'VE COORDINATED WITH THE LOCAL FIRE MARSHAL TO MAKE SURE THAT HE STILL HAS ADEQUATE ADDITIONAL MEANS.
FIRE ACCESS THROUGH THE GATE AND THE GATE IS FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM MAINLAND BLUFF THAT IT'S NOT VISIBLE BUT ONLY INTERNAL TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. WHY WE'RE HERE FOR THE SPECIAL USE IS UNKNOWN AT THE TIME WHEN WHEN THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED BUT NOW UNCOVERED IS A THERE'S A POCKET OF WETLANDS BETWEEN THE TWO CONNECTION POINTS IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT THERE ARE WETLANDS BUT WE WE ANALYZED A FEW DIFFERENT ALIGNMENTS AND BUSSES NEED A LARGE TURNING RADII SO THE BEST MEANS OF OPERATIONS AND HOW EVERYTHING WAS TEED UP TO THIS POINT JUST A DIRECT CONNECTION WE'RE JUST CONNECTING THE DOTS SO WE WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE APPLIED FOR A NATIONWIDE IMPACT FOR UNDER 0.5 ACRES THAT HAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED WE HAVE A PERMIT FOR THE WETLAND IMPACT THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS WHICH LEADS US HERE TODAY WE ALSO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS TO THE SCHOOL OR PROGRAMING? THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? SO THERE IS THIS KIND OF A CIRCULAR YES TURNABOUT IS BETTER EXISTING THERE NOW THAT
[00:20:10]
IS ALL EXISTING THAT IS THE LOOP FROM WHEN YOU DROP OFF THE KIDS AND CONTINUE AROUND THE EXIT OFF OF CHERRY POINT THIS ROAD CONNECTION JUST CONNECTS TO THAT LOOP TO THE MAINLAND BLUFF DRIVE SO I GUESS THIS REALLY IS THE MOST IS THE LEAST IMPACTFUL TO THE WETLANDS THEN YEAH IT'S UNDER 0.5 ACRES. WE ANALYZED A FEW DIFFERENT ALTERNATE ROUTES THAT WAS ALSO REQUESTED BY THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS THROUGH THEIR WETLAND IMPACT PERMITTING PROCESS THERE ARE POSSIBLE OF LESS IMPACT BUT WOULDN'T BE SUFFICIENT FOR A BUS AND LARGE RADII SO THIS IS THE LEAST IMPACTFUL FOR WHAT THE END USERS WILL.YES IF YOU HAVE TO COME ON AND CORPS OF ENGINEERS BLESSED I DON'T KNOW BUT IN THE END OF COURSE THERE'S MORE TO THANK YOU SAID THERE ANY QUESTIONS WHY SHOULD WE CALL YOU BACK THANK YOU THANK YOU I HAVE A PROJECT CAME TO THE STOCK REVIEW TEAM WE LOOKED AT IT TALKED ABOUT THINGS WE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO YOU GUYS BECAUSE IT'S AN ESSENTIAL AND THROUGH THE WETLANDS YOU NEED A SPECIAL USE SO THAT'S THEY HAVE TO COME SEE YOU GUYS AND WE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL IN WITH SO LONG AS THE CONDITIONS THE ACTION FORM RIGHT WITH DAYS OF THE STAFF SO WE DID THANK YOU MS.
