[00:25:09]

ONE THING I'M GONNA TELL YOU THIS I'M GOING TO SIT DOWN UNLESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AS TO WHO? MEMBERS OF MY SISTER LINDA. LINDA MAUDE HILLS.

I LISTEN IF I HAVE NEVER STOLEN TAKEN ANYTHING FROM ANYONE I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT WHEN MY FATHER THE HOUSE ALL OF WAS TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE MY FATHER DIED AND I TOLD MY SIBLINGS HE TOLD US TO PUT THE REST OF THE PROPERTY BEHIND ME IN OUR NAME.

HE TOLD ME TO PUT THAT HOUSE IN MY NAME IN 2006 I DIDN'T DO IT UNTIL 2012.

WHY BECAUSE I WANTED MY MOM TO HAVE SOMETHING IN HER NAME AND HE TOOK ME WITH HER AND I SPOKE TO OUR ATTORNEY AND. WE GOT IT THE WAY HE WANTED IT. I LIVE AND TRUST WHEN IS HE WANTED THE HOUSE IN MY NAME ARE YOU SIBLINGS OF THE LLC? NO BUT THEY WERE LISTED.

THIS IS THE THING MY FATHER, THE ATTORNEY EVERYONE TOLD ME YOU CAN BE FORGIVING AND BY PUTTING EVERYONE'S NAME IN THERE WITHOUT AN AGREEMENT THERE IS REAL PROPERTY ON THE PROPERTY FOR 11 YEARS I BEGGED MY SIBLINGS TO PLEASE PLEASE SIGN LET'S DO THIS AGREEMENT I WENT ONLINE TO LEGAL ZOOM AND THE OTHER PLACES TO TRY TO GET A DOCUMENT THAT I GAVE IT TO THEM. MY FATHER SAID UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU PUT ANYONE'S NAME ON THERE UNLESS YOU HAVE A WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID NOT WANT TO DO IT FOR 11 YEARS. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT AND I'M SORRY THAT YOU ALL HAVE TO HAVE ALL THIS AND ALL THIS HAS TO BE AIRED.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I CARRY THIS PAIN AROUND MY MOTHER AND FATHER.

ANYONE THAT KNOWS THE MY FAMILY KNOW THE STRUGGLE BEHIND THAT LAND THE LAND, THE PROPERTY THAT I'M EMBARRASSED STAND HAVING TO JUSTIFY SOMETHING. I HAVE A HOME EVERYBODY HAVE A HOME I JUST WANT THE HOUSE TO BE LIVED IN I WANT IT AND I UNDERSTAND I THINK THIS IS NOT THE THIS IS NOT THE PLATFORM EXACTLY. I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT YEAH.

SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SIDE OF IT BECAUSE IT SEEM LIKE IT'S OF A LEGAL ISSUE. EXACTLY. THAT'S WHAT I'M DEALT WITH AT ANOTHER PLACE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE NOT BUT THIS WAS POINT B HARASSMENT.

BUT I'M TO TELL YOU WHAT MY SAID NOT SO WE HAVE RIGHT TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT.

THANK YOU SIR. I THINK BOARD MEMBERS I THINK WE ARE HERE SIMPLY FOR THE SPECIAL USE AND I THINK A LOT OF THOSE ARE THE ISSUES THAT LEGAL ISSUES THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH AT ANOTHER PLATFORM . AND I THINK IF WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT WE WE JUST NEED TO STICK WITH THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND SEE WHETHER IT HAS TO BE THE PROPERTY OWNER. DIRECTIVE 160 SAMS POINT LLC AND I THINK WHAT I'M ALSO IS THAT THERE MIGHT BE A DISPUTE AS TO THE OWNERSHIP OF WHAT 7.0 THERE IS NO BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ANYTHING ANY KIND OF LLC ISSUE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTIES EFFICIENCY FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT WHETHER YOU ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY AND WITHIN THE AUTHORIZED I MEAN FOR US TO ASK PERMIT OR NOT MOVE IT SEEMS TO ME THERE'S ONE DEED I'M NOT A LAWYER BUT THERE SEEMS TO ME THERE'S ONE DEED OWNER IN THE FAMILY IS QUESTIONING THAT IT'S STILL RIGHT NOW A LEGAL LEGAL THING THAT TWO PEOPLE OWN THE PROPERTY WELL YOU AND YOUR SISTER AND YEAH YOU AND YOUR SISTER LLC AND DO YOU HAVE THE DEED THE LLC THE PROPERTY LLC OWNS THE PROPERTY WHICH IS ALL YOUR FAMILY BUT NO LLC ALSO LLC DOES ON THE PROPERTY NEEDED TO BE RETAINED IS STILL AND YOU SEE WHAT I READ EXCUSE ME EXCUSE ME ONLY ONE OF US CAN SPEAK AT A TIME IN WE HAVE ALREADY CLOSED THE PUBLIC COMMENT DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE INDIVIDUAL BECAUSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT IS CLOSED NOW YOU HAVE THE DEED THERE WHAT DO YOU HAVE THE DEED AND THIS IS 2019 I BELIEVE SO WE WENT ONLINE RIGHT. THAT'S FROM THE REGISTER OF DEEDS AND THAT'S THE ONLY

[00:30:04]

ONE THERE. OKAY. SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD SAY NO, THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S NOT GOING TO OWN THIS LIST OF MEMBERS AND SO THAT'S THE ONLY DOWNSIDE OF THIS IS THAT YOU'RE NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO FIND PLACE THAT'S GOING TO SAY THIS IS THE LISTING OF THE MEMBERS UNLESS BROUGHT UP THE TAX RETURN THE KEY ONES FOR IN THE IN THAT RESPECT IT IS A ISSUE BETWEEN THE FAMILY MEMBERS BUT WHETHER WE'RE HERE SAYING IS PROPERTY SUFFICIENT OR NOT BUT I GUESS THE ULTIMATE QUESTION IS IS THAT THE CORRECT AUTHORIZED BECAUSE YOU GET THE AUTHORIZED ACT FOR AN LLC THEY'RE SAYING THAT THERE'S A DISPUTE AS TO WHO'S A MEMBER THE LLC AND WHAT THEY'RE AUTHORIZED FOR.

SO DO YOU THAT EVEN IF WE WERE TO GRANT THIS SPECIAL USE PERMIT IT WOULD AFFECT.

NO I, I THINK THEY HAVE OTHER AVENUES OF RECOURSE AND LET'S JUST SAY IF THEY WENT FOR AND THEY WERE MEMBERS OF THE LLC AND THEY COULD SEEK TO DISGORGE CERTAIN PROFITS IN HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER THERE'S A RENTAL OR THE PROPERTY SO I THINK I THINK THERE ARE OTHER AVENUES OF IN REACHING ANY KIND OF AGREEMENT OVER WHO HAS AN A MEMBERSHIP INTEREST IN THE LLC OR NOT AS SHE SEEMS THE MANAGING PERSON ANYWAY DOESN'T SHE WHO RIGHT WELL SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF MANAGING END OF I MEAN BASED ON WHAT'S PRESENTED BEFORE EVEN IN THE CONTESTED STUFF THEY'RE ADMITTING YES THAT'S SO YOU READY FOR A MOTION? YES. A MOVE THAT WE GRANT THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT I'LL SECOND THAT SO IT'S BEEN PROBABLY MADE A SECOND TO GRANT THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR SENSE POINT WHEN 60 SOUNDS POINT ALL IN FAVOR OF GRANTING IT NONE OF THOSE SPECIAL USE PERMIT HAS BEEN GRANTED FOR SANDS POINT ROAD GOING FORWARD WHEN YOU SEE I REMEMBER LINDA KIRKPATRICK

I'M HERE REPRESENTING 77% OF THE PROPERTY ON OUR STREET. 22 HOUSES, 17 PEOPLE THAT WE'VE SPOKEN TO HAVE VOTED NO.

WE CALCULATED THAT WERE VOTING YES BECAUSE OF LINDA AND ARE TWO PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY DOING AIRBNB BUT WE'VE UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT PERMITS. NOW I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I DON'T THINK I DID IT INTENTIONALLY. I DON'T THINK THEY REALIZED THEY NEEDED A PROGRAM WAS ONE WE COULD NOT POLL AND THEN THERE WAS THAT ABSTAINED.

THIS IS AN OLD NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'VE GOT A COPY OF THAT BOOK. NO, NOT THAT WE DON'T KNOW.

WE DID THE SIGNATURES YEAH IT'S ON THE BACK. THIS IS A REALLY OLD MAN.

OKAY. IT WAS DEVELOPED STARTED BEING DEVELOPED IN THE FORTIES FOR 75 TO 80 YEARS OLD AND FOR YEARS. WELL THE REASON IS CALLED CIRCLES EVERYBODY ON IT LIVED IN SOUTH CAROLINA A FEW PEOPLE WERE FROM ALLENDALE FOR YEARS IT WAS JUST THE HOUSE HAS NEVER CHANGED. THEY'RE OLD AND THEY'RE TINY LOTS BUT A FEW YEARS AGO SO THEY JUST PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION OR SOMEBODY SOLD OVER ALL THE RECORDS AND THEN A FEW AGO WE HAD SOME HOUSES SELL OUT OF FAMILIES AND I THINK SOME PEOPLE WONDERED HOW IT WAS COULD CHANGE COMPLEXION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT DIDN'T CHANGE IT AT ALL OF PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO BE THERE MORE OF THAT KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY FIT RIGHT IN.

IT'S QUITE A CLOSE COMMUNITY AND WE BELIEVE THAT THAT THAT THESE SHORT TERM RENTALS THROUGH AIRBNB OR WHATEVER ARE GOING TO CHANGE AND NOT FOR THE GOOD NOT FOR THE GOOD FOR THE HOPE FOR THE BETTER AND THE REASON WE KIND OF KNOW THAT NOW IS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THESE TWO OTHER HOUSES BEING LEASED AND, WE'VE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES AND I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING I DON'T USE MY HOUSE THAT MUCH AND. MY DAUGHTER'S BEEN LIVING AT SOME TIME BECAUSE SHE'S REDOING HER SHE'S FROM SHE LIVES NEW YORK AND SHE'S BEEN REDOING HER UNCLE'S HOUSE ON OYSTER. SO I PLANNED AFTER THE SUMMER TO TO RENT IT THROUGH AIRBNB AND I WOULD MAKE A LOT OF MONEY BECAUSE IT'S FOUR BEDROOMS AND SLEEPING PORCH AGAIN I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT'S GOT PARKING OVER THERE BY THE WAY PRETTY MUCH I THINK WE ONLY GOT SOME PARKING BUT WHEN I LEARNED WHAT IT WAS COULD DO TO OUR KNOW OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S JUST I JUST DECIDED I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF IT. NOW IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MAY THINK WELL THE OLD TIMERS THAT DON'T WANT TO CHANGE OR WHATEVER BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE BECAUSE. LET ME SAY THIS BEFORE YOU CONTINUE PUBLIC COMMENT YOU HAVE UP TO 3 MINUTES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT THEN I'LL I'LL OF BACK I'LL GO FAST. SO I WANT TO TELL Y'ALL WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

WE'VE HAD THIS PEOPLE RENTING THIS HOUSE AND THEY COME IN THEY DON'T KNOW OUR WAYS.

THEY DON'T KNOW AND THEY AND WE HAVE LOTS OF TROUBLE. THERE'S NO PARKING.

THERE'S NO THERE ARE NO YARDS AND SO THEY'RE OUT IN IN THE STREET DRINKING BEER OUT 4TH OF JULY SHOOTING SHOOTING FIREWORKS INTO THE TREES. I BROUGHT THESE PICTURES TO SHOW YOU WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO DEVELOPED THIS 75 YEARS AGO DID NOT GIVE US

[00:40:06]

ANY ROOM. SO IF YOU CAN IMAGINE WONDERING WHO'S GOING TO BE LIVING LIVING BESIDE YOU EVERY EVERY WEEK IS GOING TO FLIP EVERY TWO AWAY. THINK ABOUT MAN AND THEN THINK ABOUT A BEING THIS PLUS SO YOU WE CAN'T CHANGE YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE DON'T CARE THESE HOUSES DON'T BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REBUILD THEM BECAUSE IF THEY REBUILD THEM THEY CAN'T GET AS MUCH HOUSE. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THEY RATHER HAD NO YOU WOULD BECAUSE YOU GOT THIS BIG SETBACK NOW SO SO THINK ABOUT SOMEONE LIVING IN COMING IN EVERY WAY THAT YOU DON'T KNOW AND YOU'RE LIVING IN ONE OF THESE HOUSES AND YOU SAY YOU STAY WITHIN COMMUNITY.

YES. THERE ARE ONLY 22 HOUSES HERE. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. PEOPLE IN CHARLESTON AND GREENVILLE, COLUMBIA AND JACKSONVILLE OR ARE THEY REALLY ,REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANTED DOWN HERE BEING THESE AND TAKING MY PHOTOGRAPHS. ALL RIGHT.

AND I THINK WE HAVE THE GIST OF WHAT YOU YOU'RE SAYING YOU EXCEEDED YOUR 3 MINUTES.

I JUST WANT TO CAN I CAN GIVE ME ONE MORE BECAUSE WHEN I STARTED I DIDN'T HAVE BREATH WITH ONE WOMAN. THERE'S NO AND AND WE LIVE SO CLOSELY TOGETHER DO YOU KNOW WHY IT WORKS IS BECAUSE THESE ARE FULL TIME RESIDENTS AND AND THEY LIVE HERE THEY LOVE IT AND SO OUR OUR PROPERTY IS A VERY DELICATE BALANCE AND IT WORKS BECAUSE EVERYBODY THERE KNOWS EACH OTHER AND RESPECTS EACH OTHER. I WANT TO SHOW YOU ONE MORE PICTURE NOW. THIS IS THE ROAD THAT GOES WHERE I LOOK AT THE BEACH OR YOU HAVE YOU HAVE ONE THING YOU KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT THE MINIMUM FOR ONE IS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK EACH LINE TO BE TEN THINGS THEY MISS IF THEY WERE SIX AND A HALF FEET YOU CAN'T EVEN PASS IN THE ROAD YOU HAVE TO SOMEBODY COME IN ONE DIRECTION YOU HAVE TO STOP THEM THEN PASS THE RESIDENTS KNOW THIS ROAD BY THE WAY LOOK AT THESE PICTURES.

THIS ROAD IS YOU SEE AND THAT'S THE PICTURE OF WHAT PEOPLE IT PEOPLE PEOPLE WALK THEIR DOGS WE WE DON'T HAVE THAT WE CAN'T ACCOMMODATE THIS. THE LAST THING I WOULD TELL YOU AS A RESULT IS NO NEED TO THINK ABOUT THIS NOT JUST IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BUT ALL THE NEIGHBORS HERE IN WELL, I MEAN YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AND SEE OTHER CITIES ARE DOING BECAUSE THEY'RE CRACKING DOWN ON IT FOR THIS REASON. NOW I'M NOT SAYING LIVE IS DOING YES AND YOU KNOW WHAT I YOU DO A GOOD JOB. ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAS A NEW BABY WAS NO PERFECT. SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG BUT THEY DON'T KNOW LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE WHEN YOU LET THEM IN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY'RE RUNNING TO BECAUSE THEY ON LINE NATURALLY FLIP IT AND THERE'S NO WAY THEY CAN REGULATE AND PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY WITH THE CARS GOING IN AND OUT.

RIGHT. RIGHT. WE UNDERSTAND WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO. YEAH. HAVE NOTHING.

NO. THAT'S WHY I DON'T NEED TO THINK VERY HARD ABOUT THIS ALL THE CITIES ARE BANNING AIRPORT IN THESE COMMUNITIES BECAUSE INVESTORS COME IN AND THEY SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY BECAUSE OF A MEGABYTE.
