[5.a. Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend Title 16 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Hilton Head Island, the Land Management Ordinance, to amend the current design regulations and requirements for open space and pathways in Major Subdivisions to include LMO Sections: 16-3-104, 16-3-105, 16-4-104, 16-5-103, 16-5-104, 16-5-107, 16-5-115, 16-6-102, 16-10-102, 16-10-105, and Appendices A & D - Missy Luick, Director of Planning]

THIS IS AN ITEM THAT'S CARRIED FORWARD FROM OUR FEBRUARY 19TH MEETING WHEN IT WAS DEFERRED FROM THAT TIME IT WAS COMMISSIONER HENSON'S RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE COME BACK TO US AT THIS MEETING AND WE FOCUS JUST ON THE CHANGES THAT WE DON'T GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION ALL OVER AGAIN. SO UNLESS I HEAR COMMISSIONER WHO WANTS TO HEAR THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION, I'M GOING TO JUST ASK THE STAFF TO FOCUS ON THE CHANGES. IT'S A PRESENTATION WE HEARD ON FEBRUARY 19TH THAT I FIND.

THANK YOU MISSY GOOD AFTERNOON PLANNING COMMISSION. SO BEFORE YOU TODAY IS AN AMENDMENT TO CONSIDER A CHANGE TO OUR OPEN SPACE AND PATHWAY WITHIN MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS AND FOR RECOMMENDATION TO TOWN COUNCIL STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE AND YES THIS WAS DISCUSSED AT A PUBLIC IN FEBRUARY AND THE FRONT PART THE MEMO HERE DISCUSSES WHAT WE CONSIDERED AND WHAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR CHANGES IN THE SET THAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY THERE WAS A SECTION 16 5104B2 THAT IS OUTLINED HERE BELOW THIS SECTION WAS PROPOSED BE STRUCK IN THE PRIOR DRAFT AND IT WAS INDICATED THAT WE SHOULD LOOK INTO WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD KEEP THE SELECTED TEXT. THE TEXT STATES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY TO ANY MINOR SUBDIVISION FIVE OR FEWER LOTS CREATING LOTS FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S EXPANDED ON TWO ADJACENT PARCELS. SO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF LOTS IN THE SUBDIVISION IS GREATER THAN FIVE AND THAT'S PERTAINING TO OPEN A REQUIREMENT APPLICABILITY AND AGAIN IT WAS PROPOSED TO BE STRUCK IN THE PREVIOUS DRAFT AND THE LANGUAGE STATES THAT THE SPACE STANDARDS FOR ALL OF OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS APPLY TO MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS WITHIN SECTION B ONE THE SUBJECT LANGUAGE AND B TO STATES THAT OPEN SPACE ALSO APPLY TO MINOR SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE EXPANDED TO OVER FIVE LOTS BEYOND THE CURRENT SUBDIVISION LIMITS AND ADJACENT TO THE ALAMO ALREADY HAS A DESIGNATION THAT AN EXPANSION

[00:05:02]

THE NEXT SECTION THAT WE DISCUSSED AT THE MEETING WAS PERTAINING TO RIGHT BELOW THAT SECTION C THREE WITHIN THE SAME SECTION THAT PERTAINS TO OPEN SPACE.

THIS PARAGRAPH WAS ADDED TO ENSURE THAT COMMON OPEN SPACE IS IDENTIFIABLE THROUGH DESIGN ELEMENTS RECREATIONAL AMENITIES. THE PREVIOUS TEXT SAID OR OTHER MEANS APPROVED BY THE OFFICIAL TO BE INCORPORATED IN THE OVERALL DESIGN TO ENSURE THAT OPEN SPACE IS VISUALLY IDENTIFIABLE AND RATHER THAN INCLUDING AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF POSSIBILITIES IT DID ANTICIPATE A REASONABLE OF DISCRETION BUT WE WE RE READ THAT SECTION AND ADDED WHAT'S UNDERLINED HERE THAT INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO AND THEN LIST OF THOSE INSTANCES THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR HOW WE DESIGNATE OPEN SPACE SO THE LANGUAGE THEN IN TOTAL HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SAY AN OPEN SPACE MUST BE VISUALLY IDENTIFIABLE DISTINGUISHED BY ELEMENTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SIGNS FENCING LANDSCAPE BUFFERS, TRAIL SYSTEMS, POOLS, SPORTS FACILITIES OR GRASSLANDS AND THE LAST AREA THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT IS RELATED AGAIN TO COMMON OPEN SPACE SECTION D TWO AND AND IT'S THIS PARTICULAR SECTION THERE WAS QUESTION TO THE REASONABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS PORTION OF THIS PARTICULAR REGULATION. FOR INSTANCE CERTAIN RECREATION AREAS LIKE POOLS OR BALLFIELD MAY HAVE SPECIFIED HOURS OR DAYS OPEN FOR ITS USE THERE BE AGE RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN TYPES OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT ETC. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS SECTION SHOULD BE RETAINED TO ENSURE THAT THESE TYPES OF COMMON SPACES REMAIN QUALIFIED TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS MEETING. THE REQUIREMENTS IN THIS COMMON OPEN SPACE FOR MAJOR.

SO WE REVIEWED THE THAT WAS RAISED SHOULD WE EITHER REVISE OR REMOVE THE SUBJECT TO REASONABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND WE BELIEVE THAT THIS TEXT SHOULD REMAIN UNCHANGED. SO THAT IS THE OVERVIEW OF THE CHANGES THAT WE WERE THAT YOU ALL REQUIRED US TO GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT AND AND THEY ARE INCLUDED WITHIN THE TEXT AMENDMENT DRAFT AS REFERENCED IN THIS PARTICULAR SECTION OF THE STAFF REPORT.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? DON'T FORGET TO ACTIVATE YOUR MIKES IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION BUT ANY QUESTIONS OF MISSY WELL SHE'S HERE TO DO IT. STEPH ADDRESSED THE CONCERNS THAT CAME UP LAST MONTH ADEQUATELY THAT WE WERE PREPARED TO MOVE ON A MOVE TO APPROVE THAT WOULD MOVE TO A RECOMMENDED TOWN COUNCIL APPROVAL.

OKAY. SECOND POINT COMMISSIONER WHALEY COMMISSION DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS ARE ALL IN FAVOR. OH THAT'S FROM ATMOS. IT IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING WE COULD OFFER A PUBLIC COMMENT BUT WE HAD THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ALREADY, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. IF THERE'S ANYBODY WANTING TO OFFER PUBLIC WE COULD TAKE IT AT THIS TIME. YES, MR. WILLIAMS GOOD AFTERNOON AS WELL.

IS A GENTLEMAN JUST WILLIAMS YOU'LL RECALL THAT I DID HAVE SOME COMMENTS THAT MADE AT THE LAST TIME THIS CAME BEFORE YOU AND I'M PUZZLED AS TO WELL YOU JUST WEREN'T GOING TO SUBJECT REASONABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE THERE WHO'S WHOSE RULES AND REGULATIONS IS IT THE TOWN'S RULES AND REGULATIONS CAN'T BE BECAUSE ALL THOSE RULES AND REGULATIONS NEED TO BE IN THE CODE SO WHAT RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE THERE THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO IN I'VE SUGGESTED THAT INCLUDE A PHRASE PROMULGATED BY ANY APPLICABLE ASSOCIATION BECAUSE TYPICALLY THAT'S WHERE THOSE RULES REGULATIONS COME FROM AND IT'S NOT LIKE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW RULES AND REGULATIONS BECAUSE THOSE SORTS OF RULES OR REGULATIONS PROMULGATED BY AN OWNERS ASSOCIATION HAVE TO BE RECORDED OVER IN THE COUNTY IN THE PUBLIC LAND RECORDS AND OFTEN THOSE REGULATIONS WILL SAY IF YOU'RE DELINQUENT ON THE PAYMENT OF YOUR ASSESSMENTS THEN YOU CAN'T USE THE RECREATIONAL AREAS YOU KNOW SOMEONE COULD POINT TO THIS AND

[00:10:05]

YOU'RE PUTTING IT BACK IN THERE IF THERE'S A SET OF CRITERIA THAT JUSTIFY THE USE OF SIDEWALKS OPPOSED TO PATHWAYS THEN THE ELEMENT OF ISSUE OUGHT TO BE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THAT THERE. SO THAT MAY IN THAT SENSE OUGHT TO REACH OUT AND THEN ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE AND SAID THE LANGUAGE DOESN'T THE LANGUAGE IS JUST GOING TO TELL YOU IS IT WOULD CONNECT SEAMLESSLY WHAT'S WHAT'S THE IT INTO THREE AND FIVE WOULD BE VERY EASY TO SAY THE SIDEWALK SHALL BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH HERE THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST YOU DO OKAY THOSE ARE THE MAIN ISSUES I THINK IT WOULD BE 15 THE POINT IS IF YOU'RE GOING TO IT'S BETTER TO DO IT RIGHT THAN TO IT FAST. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MR. I'D NOTE THAT THE WORD REASONABLE APPEARS IN THE LAW MANY TIMES AND I BELIEVE IS THERE TO GIVE FLEXIBILITY CERTAIN SITUATIONS. SO I BELIEVE THIS THERE'S A REASON WHY THIS IS ME AS OPPOSED A SHALL IS NOT DOESN'T REFER TO REASONABLE AND WE'VE

[6.a. STDV-001544-2024 – Public Hearing for an application from Leander Cannick, owner of 11 Yucca Drive, to name a new street off Yucca Drive. The affected parcel is R510 005 000 006C 0000.]

[00:15:07]

SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS I WOULD HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IN THE WRITTEN MATERIAL HEARD THROUGHOUT HIS PRESENTATION. ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AT THIS TIME COMMISSIONER HANS I THINK I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE AND SO I HESITATE TO SAY IT AGAIN IT'S KIND OF BORING BUT THERE'S SO MANY NAMES POSSIBLE NAMES IT'S SO CONFUSING.

I DON'T THINK MOST PEOPLE KNOW A NAME BY WHETHER IT'S A OR A STREET OR A COURT THEY JUST KNOW ABOUT THE NAME OF THE ROAD AND I THINK IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A DIFFERENT ROAD YOU JUST START TO HAVE A DIFFERENT NAME JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO TO THE USING PUBLIC THAT WHAT STREET YOU'RE GOING ON VERSUS PASSING IT DOWN INTO THE SECOND NAME THE LANE OR THE DRIVE AND BUT YOU KNOW IF IF THE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T HAVE THAT ISSUE THEN THEN I GUESS I WOULDN'T HAVE THAT ISSUE. YOU KNOW AND GENERALLY YES, I TRIED TO LOOK AT THAT AND FINDING SOMETHING THAT IS AMENABLE TO THE APPLICANT AND THEN ALSO MEETS THE CRITERIA OF STAYING CONSISTENT IN NAMING IT SO THAT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THEY GO TOGETHER SO TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULD GO WITH YUCCA AND WAS THERE WAS NOTHING IN THEIR PROPOSAL FOR THAT AND SO IN ORDER TO TO MAKE IT SO THAT IT IS DISTINGUISHABLE THAT IS WHY WE HAD GONE TO MAKING SURE THAT THE ADDRESSES ARE NOT DUPLICATED ON BOTH OF THE STREETS. SO YOU KNOW WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT IT FROM A MAPPING AND RESPONDING STANDPOINT, WE KNOW THAT THE THREE HUNDREDS ARE AT THE VERY BACK AND THE OTHER NUMBERS WE DID HAVE SITUATIONS PREVIOUSLY WHERE THEY DID USE THE SAME NAME WITH DIFFERENT ENDINGS BUT THEY RE THEY USE THE SAME NUMBERING SO THAT IS CONFUSING AND WE'VE TRIED TO RECTIFY THAT WHEN SOMEBODY TO KEEP A NAME THE SAME. OKAY IF THERE ARE ANY OF THE QUESTIONS OF COMMISSION THIS WOULD BE A TIME THAT ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO US ON THIS TOPIC THAT WOULD BE THE TIME TO COME FORWARD.

ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO TALK WITH US ABOUT THIS NOT SO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN IT BACK UP TO COMMISSION DISCUSSION IT COMES WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THIS IS OUR ACTION WOULD BE TO APPROVE THE NAMING OF THIS STREET NOT TO RECOMMEND IT TO SOMEONE SO THIS WOULD BE BECOME A MOTION SO UNTIL APPROVED BY COMMISSIONER AND SUPPORTED BY VICE CHAIR CAMPBELL A DISCUSSION ON FAVOR OF APPROVAL IS UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU GOVERNOR.

[6.b. Public Hearing for Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend Title 16 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Hilton Head Island, the Land Management Ordinance, to amend the Residential Base Zoning District Standards for the RM-12, Moderate to High Density Residential District and the Workforce Housing Program, to include the following LMO Sections: 16-3-104 and 16-4- 105. - Missy Luick, Director of Planning]

THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. I'M BEN BROWN. I'M THE TOWN'S DIRECTOR OF STRATEGIC AND I'VE BEEN VERY INVOLVED WITH THE NORTHPOINT INITIATIVE SINCE 2022 FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW AND I WILL BEFORE MSI PROVIDES THE STAFF REPORTS I'LL PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON KEY EVENTS THAT LED US TODAY AND LED US TO THESE TWO APPLICATIONS. I'LL ALSO TALK ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE GOALS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND SOME OF THE KEY ROLES OF BOTH OF OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER AS WELL AS THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD. I LIKE THIS SLIDE HERE JUST BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE PROPERTY OR RIGHT HERE ON JARVIS CREEK BUT THIS IS THE NORTH POINT PROPERTY, RIGHT? RIGHT ON JARVIS CREEK. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SIGN I KNOW WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW SO WE ALL KNOW WHERE THE PROPERTY IS. BUT HERE IS THE PROPERTY WHICH IS JUST WEST THE US POST OFFICE RIGHT NEXT TO JARVIS CREEK MARSH POINT APARTMENTS ARE TO OUR NORTH A COASTAL DISCOVERY MUSEUM IS TO OUR SOUTH AND WE ARE LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE SCHOOL CAMPUS AND THIS PROPERTY

[00:20:05]

BUT WHEN THE TOWN ACQUIRED IT THE EXISTING ZONING AT THE TIME WAS A WELL OFFICE I THINK IT WAS LAW OFFICE LIGHT COMMERCIAL LAW AND THEN OTHER EVENTS THAT HAVE LED US TO TODAY IS BACK IN 2019 THE TOWN ADOPTED THE WORKFORCE HOUSING STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH OUTLINES SEVERAL STRATEGIES THAT THE TOWN SHOULD IMPLEMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR IF REMEMBER BACK THIS WAS WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE COMMERCIAL DENSITY BONUSES AS WELL AS PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AND THEN IN 2020 AND 2021 THAT'S WHEN THE TOWN ADOPTED POLICY INCENTIVES TO ENCOURAGE THE CONSTRUCTION OF WORKFORCE HOUSING AND IN 2022 IN FEBRUARY OF 2022 THE TOWN COUNCIL HELD A WORKSHOP DISCUSS WORKFORCE HOUSING THE TOWN MANAGER AND TOWN MANAGER BOTH FACILITATED THIS WORKSHOP IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH THE COUNCIL AND THEY TALKED ABOUT THESE VARIOUS INCENTIVES THE BONUS DENSITIES, THE COMMERCIAL CONVERSION AND SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WERE ASKED AS WE HAVE THESE GREAT INCENTIVES WHY AREN'T WE BRING IN NEW WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS TO MARKET? AND IT WAS ALSO DISCUSSED THAT THE WORKFORCE HOUSING STRATEGIC TALKED ABOUT PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS BUT UP UNTIL THIS POINT THE TOWN HADN'T ADVANCED A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP SO ALL OF THE TOWNS LANDHOLDINGS WERE EVALUATED AND THE NORTHPOINT PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN DEVELOPED AS A COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION BACK IN THE LATE EIGHTIES WAS A SITE THAT COULD BE REDEVELOPED FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING AND IN APRIL 1ST OF 2022 THAT WAS FOLLOWING THIS MEETING. BUT THAT'S WHEN THE TOWN PREPARED A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS TO SUPPORT PROPOSED NORTHPOINT LOCATION THAT WAS THE TOWN'S HELP SIGN TO LOOK FOR POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS THAT HAD CONSIDERABLE AND FINANCE PLANNING HOUSING ETC. THAT COULD HELP MAKE THIS A REALITY THAT WHAT THE TOWN FOUND IS THAT THEY TEN FIRMS THAT WERE INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH THE TOWN AND OF THOSE TEN THE NORTHPOINT PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE REVIEWED THOSE TOWN PROPOSALS AND ADVANCED SEVEN OF THEM AND ASKED THOSE SEVEN FIRMS TO PROVIDE FULL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS AND WHAT WAS FOUND IS THAT ALL SEVEN PROPOSALS BROUGHT DIFFERENT QUALITIES BUT THERE WAS ONE COMPANY IN PARTICULAR ONE STREET RESIDENTIAL THAT SELECTED AS A FINALIST BECAUSE OF THEIR LAND PLANNING, THEIR ABILITY TO FINANCE THE PROJECT, THEIR TARGET OF ISLAND'S ESSENTIAL WORKFORCE. PLUS THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF FIVE YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS IN MIXED INCOME AND AFFORDABLE DEVELOPMENT.

BUT THAT'S HOW WE BEGAN REALLY WORKING CLOSELY WITH ONE STREET RESIDENTIAL.

WE HAVE BRENDAN BARR HERE TODAY WHO IS A SENIOR MANAGER WITH THE COMPANY AND HE AND HIS TEAM WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE TOWN OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND THE NORTHPOINT COMMITTEE I HAVE TO GIVE A SPECIAL YOU TO THE NORTHPOINT WORKFORCE HOUSING COMMITTEE.

THEY HAVE VERY CLOSELY WITH ME WITH THE TOWN MANAGER AND WITH STAFF AND HAVE HELPED GIVE US DIRECTION. I'M GETTING TO THIS POINT AND WHAT WE DID IS WE INVITED STREET TO THE ISLAND AND WE VISITED VARIOUS LOCATIONS HILTON HEAD WE WENT TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, WE WENT TO ISLAND REC, WE LOOKED AT THE PALMETTO VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS DEVELOPED BY SEA PINES AND IT HELPED US REALLY GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHER. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY IT HELPED THE ONE STREET TEAM BETTER UNDERSTAND WHOM THEY WOULD BE DEVELOPING, FOR WHOM THEY WOULD BE SERVING ON THIS ISLAND BY MEETING WITH THE ISLAND REC, MEETING WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AND GETTING TO KNOW THERE NO OTHER FOLKS ON THE ISLAND THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL AS. WE SOLIDIFIED THE PARTNERSHIP ON THE NORTH POINT COMMUNITY AND I TO THE ATLANTA AREA AND WE VISITED COMMUNITIES THAT WERE BOTH DEVELOPED AND MANAGED BY THE ONE STREET TEAM. THIS HELPED US BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR CONSTRUCTION THIS HELPED US BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS THEIR COMPANY CULTURE. THEN AND IN SEPTEMBER OF 2023 THE MAYOR AND TOWN MANAGER ANNOUNCED ONE STREET RESIDENTIAL AS THE TOWN'S PREFERRED DEVELOPMENT PARTNER WITH THIS IS THAT THE RFP HAD BEEN AWARDED TO ONE STREET AT

[00:25:03]

ONE OF THE TOWNS RESPONSIBILITIES IS TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO SUPPORT THE USE THE DENSITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TO ADVANCE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY AN APPLICATION FOR A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT AS WELL AS ASSOCIATED TEXT AMENDMENTS IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR IN 2024 WE BEGAN DISCUSSING THIS AT A WORKSHOP WITH TOWN COUNCIL AND WE SPENT WE THE STAFF HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME STUDYING THE ISLAND AND FIGURING OUT WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE LAND USE FOR THIS PROPERTY.

WE KNOW THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY A LAW OFFICE AND LIGHT INTO LIGHT A LIGHT COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT BUT THEN WHEN THE TOWN BOUGHT IT IN 2014 THE TOWN REZONE THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS SEVERAL PROPERTIES ON THE ISLAND TO THE THE PARKS AND RECREATIONAL ZONING DISTRICT AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION ZONING DISTRICT HAS CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS IT SO WE HAD TO LOOK AT ZONING USE THAT SUPPORTED NORTH POINT AS WELL AS DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND SUPPORTED NORTHPOINT AND. WE LOOKED AT VARIOUS ZONING DISTRICTS ALM 12 WAS ULTIMATELY SELECTED AS THE MOST APPROPRIATE DISTRICT. THE HEIGHT SUPPORTS THE 45 FEET MAXIMUM HEIGHT. THERE ARE OTHER ZONING DISTRICTS ON ISLAND LIKE WMU WATERFRONT MIXED USE BUT HAS MUCH HIGHER HEIGHT AND A HIGHER DENSITY.

BUT WHEN WE LOOK THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND I'LL SHOW YOU IN JUST A MINUTE BUT WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE CALIBRATE IT AT THIS SITE WE STUDIED THIS SITE TO SEE WHAT WOULD FIT ON THE PROPERTY SOME PRELIMINARY DUE DILIGENCE. WE WERE COMFORTABLE THAT THE SITE COULD ACCOMMODATE NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE AT ABOUT 150 TO 170 OF MULTIPLE APARTMENTS.

BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS EXECUTED WE COULD REALLY DOVE INTO SITE DESIGN TO SEE WHAT SITE COULD YIELD, WHAT WAS THE CAPACITY OF THE SITE WHILE MAINTAINING NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER IS REALLY FUNCTIONAL OPEN SPACE AND ROAD CHARACTER IS A COMBINATION OF HEIGHTS. IT'S NOT ALL THREE STOREY BUILDINGS IT'S THREES TWOS DOWN TO ONES AND IT'S IT'S IT'S PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE WAY THE SITE IS LAID OUT, THE WAY THE SITE FUNCTIONS AS WELL AS THE LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROPERTY WE'VE DISCUSSED SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT AT LENGTH OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS BUT IT'S 11 ACRES OF TOWN OWNED LAND. IT'S EXACTLY 11.337 ACRES.

IT'S LOCATED TO THE SCHOOLS. IT'S LOCATED RELATIVELY CLOSE TO THE HOSPITAL TO TWO FIRE STATIONS TO SEVERAL JOBS ON THE ISLAND THIS BE AN ENERGY EFFICIENT, SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH HIGH QUALITY ARCHITECTURE, HIGH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION.

THE SITE WILL YIELD APPROXIMATELY 160 RENTAL UNITS CONSISTING OF ONE, TWO AND THREE BEDROOM APARTMENTS. I CAN TELL YOU TODAY WE HAVE STUDIED THIS SITE AND IT WILL YIELD WE BELIEVE 157 UNITS AND THAT'S A 157 UNITS, ONE OF WHICH WILL BE AN APARTMENT A BEDROOM APARTMENT FOR A FULL TIME ON SITE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PROPERTY MANAGER.

SO AND THESE WILL HAVE AMENITIES PROGRAMING THAT PRIORITIZE THE WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR RESIDENTS WE WILL HAVE THE ONSITE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE A COMMUNITY BUILDING WITH HIGH SPEED INTERNET POOL AND OUTDOOR COMMUNAL SPACES A GRILLING PAVILION SEATING AND PLAYGROUND WALKING INDOOR AND OUTDOOR FITNESS STATIONS, A COMMUNITY GARDEN LAUNDRY APPLIANCES WITHIN EACH INDIVIDUAL UNIT BUT I REC MENTION THIS BECAUSE THESE ARE CLASS A MARKET RATE AMENITIES THESE ARE NOT THE TYPE OF AMENITIES YOU GENERALLY ENVISION AND SAY SOMETHING THAT WAS A TRADITIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WE'RE ABLE TO DO THIS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ONE STREET RESIDENTIAL AND BY THE TOWN CONTRIBUTING LAND A LONG TERM GROUND LIST BY THE TOWN CONTRIBUTING THE MILLION DOLLAR ARPA GRANT AND I'LL MENTION A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MINUTE.

WORKFORCE AFFORDABILITY WE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT NORTHPOINT SHOULD SERVE THE FOLKS WHO WORK OR WILL WORK ON THAT ISLAND. THIS IS SERVING HILTON HEAD ISLANDS WORKFORCE SO THESE ARE TEACHERS, FIRST RESPONDERS, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, HOSPITALITY WORKERS AND A WHOLE LOT MORE. BUT WHAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THROUGH CONSIDERABLE DUE DILIGENCE IS THAT THE ISLAND'S ESSENTIAL WORKFORCE FALLS BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 60 AND 150% OF THE BEAUFORT COUNTY AREA INCOME.

AND WHENEVER I HEAR THAT YOU HEAR ME I ALWAYS I LIKE TO SEE CHARTS THAT HELP ME BETTER

[00:30:05]

SO AT THE END OF THAT 65 YEARS IT DOESN'T JUST BECOME MARKET RATE.

THIS WILL BE A WORKFORCE HOUSING COMMUNITY FOREVER. THIS IS THE AM-I CHART BUT I LIKE TO SHARE THIS BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK AT 60% UP TO 150% WE THINK IN OF A FAMILY OF OF THREE. BUT THIS IS THIS IS TRUE MIXED INCOME THIS IS 57,000 A YEAR UP TO ALMOST 144,000 A YEAR. AND I THINK OF MYSELF AND MY WIFE AND I WE STARTED OUR CAREERS ON HILTON HEAD ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO. WE HAD A COMBINED INCOME OF ABOUT $50,000 I KNOW AT THE TIME WE PAID ABOUT $1,000 A MONTH IN RENT.

WE THOUGHT THAT WAS A HECK OF A LOT OF MONEY AT THE TIME BUT WE WERE ABLE TO PAY OUR BILLS AND THIS CHART HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHO COULD QUALIFY TO LIVE AT NORTH POINT THIS IS BASED ON THE 20:24 A.M. I WHICH WILL BE UPDATED IN MAY AND. THAT'S TYPICALLY WHEN WE RECEIVE OUR NEW NUMBERS. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AND YOU JUST START THINKING OF DIFFERENT INCOME RANGES, IT'S A THINKING OF A CAREGIVER AND A FIREFIGHTER WHERE.

DOES THAT FALL ON THE RANGE A TEACHER AND A FIRST RESPONDER? WHERE DOES THAT FALL IN THE RANGE? WHAT IF YOU HAVE ONE CHILD? TWO CHILDREN? BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL SCENARIOS THAT CAN BE ACCOMMODATE BY TARGETING 60 UP TO 150% OF THE AREA MEDIAN MEDIAN INCOME. AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT AT LEAST 50% OF THE UNITS WILL FALL ON THE 60 AND 80%. SO WHAT OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS ROLE? WELL, THEIR ROLE IS THE FINANCING THEIR THEIR ROLE IS DESIGN AND PERMITTING. THEIR ROLE IS PROJECT MANAGEMENT CONSTRUCTION LISA LONG TERM PROGRAMING AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT WHAT IS THE TOWN'S ROLE? THE TOWN'S ROLE IS THE PROJECT VISION. THIS CAME FROM TOWN COUNCIL.

THE TOWN IS ALSO CONTRIBUTING 11 ACRES OF LAND THROUGH A 65 YEAR ROUND THIS THE TOWN IS ALSO CONTRIBUTING $1,000,000 GRANT AT THE RECEIVED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THIS WAS COVID STIMULUS MONEY. THE TOWN IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR ZONING ENTITLEMENTS.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY AS WELL AS THE LONG TERM MONITORING AND PROGRAMING SUPPORT FOR FOR NORTH POINT. WE KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE WILL MAKE NORTH POINT SUCCESSFUL SO THE TOWN HAS TO BE INVOLVED THE LONG TERM MONITORING AND PROGRAM SUPPORT TIMELINE.

WE'RE HERE TODAY WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE ZONING, THE ARM 12 WELL, WE FOUND IN OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHICH WAS APPROVED IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR IS THE DEVELOPMENT SAYS THAT WE ARE GOING TO ACCOMMODATE 150 TO 170 MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENTS WITH A COMBINATION OF ONE, TWO AND THREE BEDROOMS. NOW THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ALSO SAYS THAT WE ARE GOING TO STUDY THE SITE AND CALIBRATE WHAT FITS ON THAT PROPERTY WHILE MAINTAINING NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE.

AND I MENTION THAT BECAUSE WE'VE PREPARED SITE PLANS COULD YIELD 170 UNITS BUT THAT SITE PLAN DOES PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE WHICH I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU IN THE IN JUST A MINUTE THAT WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF . BUT WE HAVE PREPARED A PLAN THAT CAN YIELD A HUNDRED AND 57 UNITS WITH THAT COMBINATION ONE ,TWO AND THREE BEDROOMS WITH GREAT AMENITIES THAT THE WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE RESIDENTS AND THE 25% A BONUS FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING. I CAME FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IF YOU TAKE THAT 11.337 ACRE SITE AND YOU MULTIPLY THAT BY 15 THAT'S 470 UNITS.

THAT'S WHERE WE LANDED ON THAT. BUT WE KNOW THIS SITE IS GOING TO YIELD JUST UNDER 14 UNITS PER ACRE. IT'S GOING TO YIELD JUST UNDER 160 UNITS.

WE ALSO CALIBRATED THE SITE BY IT TO SEE HOW MUCH OF THE SITE WILL BE PERVIOUS, HOW MUCH

[00:35:01]

SO DOES THAT MEAN. THIS IS ABOUT AN 18 MONTH BUILD A ONE STREET'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 35 YEARS. THEY ANTICIPATE RELEASING THE FIRST UNITS IN OUR MONTH 13 MONTH 14. BUT IF WE BREAK GROUND THIS YEAR WE'RE LOOKING AT FOLKS MOVING INTO UNITS AS SOON AS THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2027. THIS IS THE SITE I LIKE TO SHARE THIS BECAUSE AS MANY YOU KNOW I STARTED MY CAREER WITH THE TOWN BUT THEN WENT INTO THE SECTOR AND CAME BACK ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. BUT I WAS STARTING TO GET INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT AT THE END OF JUNE IN 2022 IN JULY MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER FOLKS ON OUR TEAM WE BEGAN WALKING THE SITES STUDY IN THE SITE. WE IDENTIFIED ALL THE SPECIMEN TREES, ALL THE SIGNIFICANT TREES WE ALSO IDENTIFIED ALL THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY AND WE STARTED DEFINING OUR DEVELOPABLE ENVELOPE AND WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT SEVERAL OF THE TREES ON THE SITE ALTHOUGH THEY DIDN'T RAISE THE LEVEL OF MAYBE SIGNIFICANT OR SPECIMEN RAMPS SLIGHTLY BEAUTIFUL TREES. SO WE IDENTIFIED THOSE AS HAVING TO BE PRESERVED. WE ALSO LOOKED AT JARVIS CREEK AND THIS PARCEL 121 RIGHT ON JARVIS CREEK WE WANT TO PRESERVE THIS SITE. I PERPETUITY AS AN OPEN SPACE AMENITY TO THE MORE NORTH POINT COMMUNITY AND WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO LAND PLANS SEVERAL AREAS OF FUNCTIONAL OPEN SPACE ON THE PROPERTY. WE HAVE A 50 FOOT SETBACK AND BUFFER OFF THE PROPERTY LINE. I KNOW THE ALAMO ALLOWS SOME LEVELS OF FLEXIBILITY.

THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOES NOT. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE APPROXIMATELY HUNDRED FEET IF NOT MORE AND I'LL SHOW YOU IN JUST A MINUTE A SEPARATION FROM THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT ALONG WILLIAM HILL PARKWAY BEFORE YOU GET INTO SITE AND I THINK I'VE LIVED ON MARSHLAND ROAD 24 YEARS AND I DRIVE BY WHAT WAS THE GREYSTONE LOCK OR THE SUMMER HOUSE ARE CONDOS NOW AND THOSE ARE THREE STORIES IN HEIGHT THOSE ARE SET BACK BUT THAT HAS THAT THAT SCALE THIS ALSO WILL BE WELL SET BACK MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF THREE STORIES BUT IT WILL BLEND WITH NATURE AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN IN JUST A MOMENT. HERE IS OPEN SPACE PLAN AS WE CONTINUE TO STUDY THE SITE WANTED TO HAVE AS MUCH FUNCTIONAL OPEN SPACE ON THE SITE AS WELL. WE ALSO WANT TO INCORPORATE AS MANY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON SITE AS POSSIBLE THAT'S INCLUDED IN OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

SO WE HAVE BIO RETENTION. SWALES WE HAVE BIO RETENTION FILTRATION AREAS BUT THESE ARE AREAS THAT WILL COLLECT AND INFILTRATE STORMWATER AND THEY'RE STRATEGICALLY LOCATED AROUND THE SITE THEY'RE ALSO BUILT IN TO THE SITE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THIS IS NOT A POND AT THE CORNER OF THE PROPERTY. THESE ARE FUNCTIONAL OPEN SPACE WITH NATIVE VEGETATION AND WE SEE THE AREA ALONG JARVIS CREEK ALL OPEN SPACE AND ONE THING I POINT OUT IS WE WERE ABLE TO ACHIEVE 56% OPEN SPACE ON THE PROPERTY AS BEST PRACTICES AND THAT'S THAT'S REALLY AN ACCOMPLISHED MAN BUT THEN I WAS ASKED QUESTIONS IS HOW CAN WE REACH 56% OPEN SPACE BUT BEING 50% PERVIOUS IMPERVIOUS AND THAT'S BECAUSE SOME OF OUR AMENITIES LIKE THE SWIMMING POOL ARE IMPERVIOUS SO WE CHALLENGE OURSELVES BECAUSE WE KNOW WE WANTED TO GET DOWN TO 45%. WHY DO WE CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO GET DOWN TO 45% BECAUSE THE EXISTING ZONING IS PARKS AND RECREATION.

THE EXISTING ZONING IS 45% MAXIMUM IMPERVIOUS AS 55% PERVIOUS.

[00:40:04]

WELL THIS GOT US DOWN TO THE 50% AS WE CONTINUED TO CHALLENGE OURSELVES WE WERE ABLE TO GET DOWN TO A 45%. ONE OTHER THING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS THE CONNECTIVITY . THIS IS A GREAT SITE. IT'S A GREAT LOCATION BUT AS WE ALL KNOW IT'S RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT HAVING SPENT A LOT OF TIME PERSONALLY WALKING THIS PROPERTY AND WALKING OVER TO THE SCHOOL CAMPUS WHICH IS CLOSE.

THE ISSUE IS WE HAVE A POST OFFICE RIGHT HERE SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE POST OFFICE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING ABOUT 1.8 ACRES OF LAND FROM THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE AN ACCESS ROAD AND SAFE PATHWAY AND CONNECTIVITY TO THE SCHOOL CAMPUS. AND ONE THING I'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE POST OFFICE AND WE ALL KNOW THE POST OFFICE HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE 1980S IT'S BEEN THERE A LONG TIME BUT EVERY TIME IT RAINS THAT PROPERTY HOLDS WATER AND SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WAS ASKED OF ME IT HOLD WATER BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH BLACKTOP ON THE SITE. WELL, FROM RESEARCHING THE SITE THE REASON IT'S HOLDING WATER IS BECAUSE IT WAS DEVELOPED WITH NO DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY NON ZERO SO WHEN IT RAINS HARD THE WATER SITS ON THE SITE AND OVER TIME WILL EVENTUALLY INFILTRATE BUT BECAUSE IT WASN'T REALLY GRADED FOR BIO RETENTION SWALES BY A RETENTION PONDS LIKE WE'RE DOING ON THE NORTHPOINT TRACK IT IT HOLDS WATER SO WHAT PART OF OUR ACQUISITION IS THAT WE THE TOWN ARE GOING TO INSTALL DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE ON THIS PROPERTY . WE'RE ALSO GOING TO INCORPORATE FLUMES AND RETENTION SWALES TO COLLECT AND TREAT STORMWATER SO PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS NOT ONLY INCORPORATING THE NORTHPOINT SITE BUT IT'S ALSO IMPROVING OUR OUR NEIGHBOR JUST TO THE EAST.

NOW THIS IS MY FAVORITE SLIDE AND I KNOW THIS IS MEANINGFUL TO BRANDON AND HIS TEAM AS WELL BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE ARE PUBLICLY SHARING OUR OUR SITE PLAN FOR NORTHPOINT. WE HAVE MONTHS AND MONTHS INTO THIS WE ARE SUPER PROUD OF IT BUT MENTIONED NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE THIS IS A OF ONE TWO AND THREE STORY BUILDINGS JUST TO THE NORTH WE HAVE THE APARTMENTS THE MARSH POINT APARTMENTS FROM STUDYING THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE KNOW THAT THE APARTMENTS ARE ABOUT 35 FEET HEIGHT.

THAT'S TWO STORIES. SO SO WE ARE PROPOSING THAT ALL OF THE BUILDINGS ALONG NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE ARE ALSO TWO STORY AND I AM REALLY EXCITED WITHIN THE NEXT 90 DAYS WE'RE GOING TO BRING THIS BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS PART OF OUR SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW BUT THIS IS GREAT ARCHITECTURE. THIS IS AN APARTMENT COMMUNITY THAT'S TO MAKE ALL OF US PROUD. WE ALSO HAVE THREE STORY BUILDINGS.

WE HAVE LOTS FUNCTIONAL OPEN SPACE, COMMUNITY GARDENS, WALKING TRAILS.

WE'RE ENVISIONING A DOG PARK YOGA GARDEN AND WHEN WE SQUEEZE THE BLACKTOP AS MUCH AS WE COULD THAT'S PRACTICES. AND WE LANDED AT 50% PERVIOUS WE WERE ABLE TO GET DOWN TO 45% BY INCORPORATING LOTS OF PERVIOUS MATERIALS INTO THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN OR ENVISIONING ALL OF THIS PERVIOUS PERVIOUS, PERVIOUS. BUT AGAIN IT GIVES THE SITE LOTS OF AREAS TO ABSORB AND INFILTRATE WATER AND MISSY WILL GO THROUGH HOW THIS ADVANCES SEVERAL OF THE NEEDS GOALS STRATEGIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MISSY WILL CONCLUDE WITH HER RECOMMENDATION ASKING THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO ADVANCE THE REZONING AND THE ASSOCIATED TEXT AMENDMENTS TO TOWN COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL BUT JUST WANTED TO GIVE SOME REALLY GOOD BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT TODAY I'M

[00:45:02]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING IT. IT WAS A IT'S THREE COUNCILMEN AS WELL AS A WE HAVE THREE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TODAY .

IN 9 MINUTES WE HAVE MR. TOM LENNOX WHO'S WHO'S PART OF COMMITTEE.

THE MAYOR'S BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE COMMITTEE. MR. KUMAR VISWANATHAN AS PART OF THE COMMITTEE SCOTT? WASSERMAN AS PART OF THE COMMITTEE THAT'S THE THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE AND THE THE THREE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS THE TOWN MANAGER I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY INVOLVED IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE COMMITTEE AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL TO THE ATLANTA METRO AREA WITH THE NORTH POINT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, LOOK AT PROPERTIES THAT WERE DEVELOPED AND MANAGED BY ONE STREET GREAT WORK. ONE SLIDE DIDN'T SHOW WAS A RENDERING OF WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE FROM THE GROUND LEVEL IS THAT AVAILABLE YET? IT'S AWESOME AND I REALLY WANTED TO SHOW IT TODAY I DON'T WANT TO GET AHEAD OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD BUT IT'S UP I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING THAT WITH YOU WITH YOU WITHIN THE NEXT 90 DAYS. WHEN WE COME BACK FOR THE DPR REVIEW COMMISSIONER WILLIE MR. BROWN THIS WAS A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. IT REALLY HELPED ME CONTEXTUAL YOU KNOW VISUALIZE WHERE YOU'RE GOING JUST IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE IT HAS SORT OF THE PARCELS LAID OUT YOU KNOW YOUR VERY LAST SLIDE A VISUALIZATION SLIDE.

YES. I JUST WANT TO ASK A QUESTION AREA.

YEAH SO WE KNOW ONE OF THE PARCELS WAS BEFORE SC DOT SEEDED IT TO THE TOWN WAS OPEN SPACE SO THIS WAS A TRUST THAT TRAVERSED BY THE CHARMS CREEK SO WHEN YOU SAY THIS IS OPEN SPACE THIS IS OPEN WILL BE OPEN SPACE TO THE COMMUNITY JUST TO THE NORTH POINT RESIDENTS WHAT I'VE REACHED OUT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERS AND ONE THING I'VE MENTIONED TO OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH AT MARS POINT I BELIEVE THERE'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE CONNECTION FROM THIS SITE UP INTO MARS POINT NOW WE NEED WE NEED THEIR APPROVAL OR APPROVAL TO DO THAT BUT SOMETHING THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS TALKED A LOT ABOUT, WE ALSO CONNECTION FROM THE MULTIPURPOSE TRAIL OR WE'RE ENVISIONING THIS AS AN AMENITY NOT JUST TO THE NORTH POINT BUT ALSO TO THE COMMUNITY NOW WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH ONE STREET.

THERE ARE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS THAT THE POOL, FOR EXAMPLE, WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO ANYBODY OTHER THAN THE REST. I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT THE JARVIS CREEK FRONTAGE SOME THINGS LIKE THAT. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU'RE WELCOME. ANY OTHER COMMISSION FOR MR. BROWN AND WILL CONTINUE WITH MRS. PRESENTATION AND THEN WE WILL BE OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC SO THANK YOU MR. BROWN THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU BEN FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

IT DEFINITELY GIVES A REALLY GREAT OVERVIEW OF THIS EXCITING PROJECT AND I WILL COVER THE TWO POLICY RELATED ITEMS. THEY ARE BOTH PUBLIC HEARINGS. THE FIRST ONE IS THE TEXT AMENDMENT AND SECOND ONE IS THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENT. MY PRESENTATIONS WILL NOT BE AS EXCITING AS BEN SO BEAR WITH ME BUT ULTIMATELY AS AS BEN EXPLAINED THEY ARE THE ENABLING POLICY PIECES THAT WILL MAKE THAT PROJECT A REALITY. SO TWO IMPORTANT POTENTIAL ACTION ITEMS BEFORE YOU THEY ARE BOTH PUBLIC HEARINGS SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE WE GO INTO PUBLIC COMMENT THAT THE PUBLIC HEARINGS ARE SO AGAIN THE FIRST ITEM IS THE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW AND CONSIDER A TEXT AMENDMENT APPLICATION THAT AMEND THE RESIDENTIAL BASE ZONING DISTRICT STANDARDS FOR THE AR M 12 MODERATE TO HIGH RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM AND FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION TO TOWN COUNCIL TOWN STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED TEXT AS BEN SUMMARIZED THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS PART OUR TOWN COUNCIL ADOPTED STRATEGIC

[00:50:09]

ONE IS THE PRIORITY AMENDMENTS AND THE FULL CODE OVERHAUL. THIS IS ONE OF THE PRIORITY AMENDMENTS THAT WE ARE ADVANCING ADDRESS AN EMERGENT AND IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FULL CODE OVERHAUL . AS BEN INDICATED, THERE WAS A THAT WAS HELD IN SEPTEMBER WHERE WE REVIEWED A NUMBER THE PRIORITY AMENDMENTS OF WHICH THIS AMENDMENT TEXT AMENDMENT CONTEMPLATED TO THE AAM 12 DISTRICT AND IT WAS DISCUSSED WITH COUNCIL AT THE TIME THAT WE WOULD ALLOW WORKFORCE HOUSING IN THE ARM 12 DISTRICT ALLOW UP TO 25% DENSITY BONUS FOR UP TO 15 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE ALLOWED IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE INCREASE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WOULD CONTINUE TO STUDY IT IT WAS DISCUSSED 50% AT THE TIME OF THE WORKSHOP REQUIRE FRONTAGE ON A MAJOR ARTERIAL AND REQUIRE A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF FIVE ACRES. WE INTRODUCED THIS AMENDMENT TO THE PLANNING IN JANUARY. AT THAT TIME THE PLANNING COMMISSION ASKED FOR SEVERAL ITEMS OF CLARIFICATION. ONE WAS TO CLARIFY WHETHER SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE ALLOWED WITHIN WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM ANALYZED IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE INCREASED 35% TO 45% AND THEN TO PROVIDE A MAP THE ARM 12 PROPERTIES THAT MEET THE CRITERIA THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN THIS DENSITY BONUS TEXT AMENDMENT ITEMS TWO AND THREE ARE HANDLED IN THE ANALYSIS SECTION OF THE MEMO SO I WILL COVER THOSE SEPARATELY AND TO ADDRESS THE CLARIFICATION PROVIDED IN ITEM ONE THE WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM WAS ADOPTED PRIOR TO THE TOWN'S SHORT TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE SO WHILE IT DOESN'T SPECIFICALLY REFERENCE SHORT TERM RENTALS WITHIN THAT EXISTING POLICY IN THE OCCUPANCY AND ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS IT STATES THAT RENTAL UNIT HOUSEHOLDS SHALL OCCUPY THE WORKFORCE HOUSING UNIT AS THEIR SOLE RESIDENCE WHICH MEANS THAT IT COULD NOT BE USED AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS ADDRESSED. AND THEN AGAIN ITEMS TWO AND THREE WILL BE COVERED LATER IN THE STAFF REPORT. SO BEN ALREADY EXPLAINED TO YOU SOME OF THESE ITEMS THAT SUMMARIZE PART OF WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY THE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR NORTH POINT AND THAT THIS PARTICULAR TEXT AMENDMENT AND THE ADDITIONAL ZONING MAP AMENDMENT ARE THE TWO PIECES OF POLICY THAT WOULD CREATE AND ENABLE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE NORTH POINT AREA AND EXPLAINS THE LOCATION THE 11 ACRES THAT ARE BEING CONTEMPLATED AS WELL AND ITS LOCATION RELATED TO THE SCHOOL COMPLEX THE CROSS ISLAND PARKWAY BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.

SO AS PART OF THIS AGAIN EFFORT IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO ALM 12 WHICH IS THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM AND THEN THIS ITEM IS TO CONTEMPLATE THE THE TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE ARM 12 DISTRICT AND THE WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM AGAIN THESE TWO ACTIONS ARE COMPLEMENTARY AND IN TANDEM POLICY ACTIONS THAT ARE MEANT TO IMPLEMENT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT AND I'LL JUST GO THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT ALL OF THE TEXT AMENDMENTS ARE ORGANIZED IN A TABLE SO THAT THEY CAN BE FOLLOWED EASILY AND IT IDENTIFIES ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED IN THE COUNCIL WORKSHOP BACK IN SEPTEMBER HOW THIS AMENDMENT ADDRESSES THOSE ISSUES ONE TO ALLOW WORKFORCE HOUSING IN THE ARM 12 DISTRICT IT IS PROPOSED IN THE TEXT AMENDMENT TO BE OR PERMITTED WITH CONDITIONS. THAT MEANS THAT THERE ARE SOME USE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR THE WORKFORCE HOUSING USE. THE OTHER ISSUE IS TO IDENTIFY A MINIMUM LOT SIZE FIVE ACRES AND FRONTAGE ON A MAJOR ARTERIAL.

THE TEXT STATES THAT THE WORKFORCE HOUSING USE AND ARM 12 SHALL COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS THE PROPERTY SHALL BE A MINIMUM FIVE ACRES.

THE PROPERTY SHALL BE LOCATED ON A MAJOR ARTERIAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR STREET HIERARCHY SECTION WILLIAM HILTON PARKWAY IS ONE OF THE FOUR MAJOR ARTERIALS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED WITHIN THAT STREET HIERARCHY TABLE AND TO ALLOW 25% DENSITY BONUS UP TO 15

[00:55:05]

SO WE LOOKED AT THE CITY OF CHARLESTON, CHARLESTON COUNTY, COUNTY TOWN OF BLUFFTON KIAWAH, GEORGETOWN COUNTY AND SURFSIDE BEACH AND FOUND FOR MULTIFAMILY THEY HAVE A RANGE OF IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN 50 AND 80%.

THEY ALSO HAVE VARIOUS HEIGHT RANGES WERE IDENTIFIED BETWEEN 35 AND 55 FEET IN HEIGHT FOR THOSE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT AND THEN VARIOUS DENSITY RANGES AS WELL.

SO FROM DENSITIES OR A FOUR STOREY LIMIT TO DENSITIES OF 1216 OR EVEN UP TO 26 UNITS PER ACRE. SO THAT'S A COMPARATIVE TO WHAT THIS AMENDMENT PROPOSES.

AND THEN WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE COMPARISON OF IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE WITHIN THE TOWN'S ZONING DISTRICTS AND THAT'S WHAT THIS TABLE COVERS. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE IMPERVIOUS REQUIREMENTS RANGE FROM NOT APPLICABLE AND 35% UP TO 65% AND UNLIMITED THE BEGINNING RESORT DISTRICT BUT I WANTED TO NOTE THAT OUR LIGNE RESORT DISTRICTS ARE MIXED USE DISTRICT RESORT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT C PINES CIRCLE DISTRICT DISTRICT AND OUR WMU DISTRICTS ALL ALLOW TEN OR MORE DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE IT'S UNLIMITED IN THE LIGNE RESORT DISTRICT AND THEY ALL ALLOW HIGHER IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE OF BETWEEN 50 AND 60% IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE. SO EVEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS WHERE WE HAVE HIGHER DENSITIES IT FALLS WITHIN THE RANGE WITHIN EXISTING CODE . WE ALSO LOOK TO SOME OTHER COMPARATIVE STANDARDS AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND STANDARDS THAT ARE PROPOSED BALANCED FLEXIBILITY OF THE DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS WITH AND DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES SUCH AS MAINTAINING OPEN SPACE, ENSURING NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE, PRESERVING TREES AND MITIGATING THE IMPACT OF COVERAGE. SO WHILE STILL ALLOWING AND PROMOTING THE DEVELOPMENT IN KEEPING WITH NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER OTHER COASTAL COMMUNITIES THAT WE LOOKED AT ALLOW MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN 12 AND 16 UNITS AND SOME OF THOSE CASES LOT COVERAGE BETWEEN 50 AND 80%. WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE SOUTH CAROLINA SEA GRANT CONSORTIUM AND THEY NOTE THE LIMITATION OF IMPERVIOUS COVER IS A STRATEGY FOR LOW DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR LITERATURE. THEY REFERENCED SOME EXAMPLES FROM ISLAND COMMUNITIES SUCH AS PAWLEYS ISLAND AND SULLIVAN'S ISLAND AND THEY MENTIONED THOSE COMMUNITIES AS INCORPORATING THESE BEST PRACTICES OF BETWEEN AND 50% IMPERVIOUS AND THE PROPOSED MAXIMUM COVERAGE FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING AS PART OF THIS AMENDMENT FALLS WITHIN THAT RANGE. THIS MAP SHOWSLIGIBLE PROPERTIES THAT ARE THAT ARE ZONED OR PLAN TO BE ZONED R M 12 THAT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF A FIVE ANCHOR MINIMUM AND LOCATION ON A MAJOR ARTERIAL THOSE THREE POTENTIAL PROPERTIES THAT COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS ALM 12 AND WORKFORCE HOUSING DENSITY PROGRAM ARE OUTLINED ON THIS PARTICULAR MAP AND THEN FURTHERMORE WE IDENTIFIED SOME COMPARISONS OF THE EXISTING DENSITY AND BUILD OUT OF THOSE OTHER TWO PROPERTIES PALMETTO BAY VILLAS AND THE OAKS SO PALMETTO BAY VILLAS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS CHART IS A 5.5 ACRE SITE IT'S CURRENTLY AT 11 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND COULD BE UP TO 60 WITH THE EXISTING PROGRAM ARE ENTITLED UP TO 66 UNITS AND THEN WITH THIS PARTICULAR DENSITY BONUS BE UP TO 82 WE APPROXIMATED THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE OF 45% WITH AN APPROXIMATE BUILDING HEIGHT OF 35 AND THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES AND YOU CAN SEE WE'VE DONE SAME FOR THE OAKS VILLAS JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA OF THOSE

[01:00:05]

IT UPHOLDS THE INTENT OF ZONING REGULATIONS BY ALLOWING BUT LIMITED INCREASES IN DENSITY AND IMPERVIOUS SURFACE WHEN ACHIEVING TOWN GOALS ENSURES HIGHER DENSITY WORKFORCE HOUSING IN ARM 12 ARE LOCATED IN APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS ALONG MAJOR ROADS ON PROPERTIES LARGE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE RESIDENTIAL GROWTH AND IT CONSIDERS BEST PRACTICES IN COASTAL COMMUNITIES AND THE IMPACT RESIDENTIAL DENSITY INCREASES.

SO AGAIN IT IS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THE THAT WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT AND MYSELF BEN BROWN CAN TAKE QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME BEFORE OPEN UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT WE HAVE COMMISSIONED QUESTIONS OF EITHER MR. BROWN OR MS. LEWIN. I'M COMMISSIONER WHALEY. THIS IS PROBABLY MORE AN EDUCATION THING WHEN WE TALK ABOUT MAJOR ARTERIALS, DOES THAT CHANGE MUCH OVER TIME THE MAJOR ARTERIALS ARE IDENTIFIED WITHIN OUR CODE AND THEY INCLUDE CLOSING HILTON PARKWAY, POPE AVENUE, PALMETTO BAY AND THE CROSS ISLAND PARKWAY. AND SO IF WE WERE TO AMEND OUR CODE DESIGNATE A DIFFERENT ARTERIAL THERE'S THERE'S A DEFINITION AND CRITERIA THAT BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS CODIFIED IN OUR IN OUR ORDINANCE THERE'S A MAJOR ARTERIAL AND A MINOR ARTERIAL. OKAY. AND SO MAYBE SO JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS YOU GUYS GO THROUGH SO MAJOR ARTERIAL IS DEFINED THROUGH THE CODE AND RIGHT NOW THERE'S ONLY FOUR AND THE PROCESS TO REDEFINE SOMETHING LIKE MARSHLAND ROAD OR SQUARE IS A MAJOR ARTERIAL WOULD GO THROUGH WHAT KIND OF PROCESS IT WOULD BE A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE OKAY THANK THE QUESTIONS COMMISSIONER HAS SO YOU SIGN A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH ONE STREET RESIDENTIAL THAT A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS NOT A CONTRACT. IT'S JUST LIKE OKAY WE'RE GOING TO AGREE TO TO TOGETHER TO TO MAKE THIS WORK RIGHT TO BECAUSE THEY THEY PROBABLY WITHOUT DISOWNING CHANGE THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE GONE INTO THE AGREEMENT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T BUILD ENOUGH UNITS TO MAKE IT TO MAKE PENCILS THAT KIND OF HOW THIS WORKS IT IS A CONTRACT AND IN THE CONTRACT IT STATES THAT THE TOWN WILL SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO SUPPORT THE USE DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SO BUT IT IS EXCLUDED SO THIS WAS PART OF THE AGREEMENT THAT WE WOULD TRY TO MAKE THIS ZONING HAPPEN YES SIR. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TOWN VERSUS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT PARTNER. THIS IS ONE OF THE KEY RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TOWN IS THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS AND IT'S SECOND QUESTION WE ANTICIPATE THIS WILL IN PERPETUITY BE WORKFORCE HOUSING .

SO WHY THE 65 YEAR LEASE OR THE 65 YEAR LEASE IS JUST FOR OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER BUT AT THE END OF THAT 65 YEAR LEASE THE TOWN IN 65 YEARS COULD EITHER RENEW THAT AGREEMENT ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH SOMEBODY NEW BUT THAT THAT'S THE TERM OF IT AND A LOT OF THAT WAS LEGAL ADVICE WE RECEIVED EARLY ON DURING THE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO GET FINANCING AND SO IT DOES AND THEN THERE'S A QUESTION TOO DO YOU DO YOU WANT TO LEASE SOMETHING FOR FOR 99 YEARS 65 YEARS. BUT THAT WAS ALL PART OF THE VETTING PROCESS THAT THE NORTHPOINT COMMITTEE WAS VERY INVOLVED WITH AS WELL AS TOWN COUNCIL.

SO IT DIDN'T LAST. IT STATES THAT A MINIMUM OF 50% OF THE UNITS WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR 60 TO 80% EMI YOU COULD PROBABLY SEE THAT WOULD BE THE MAXIMUM BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO GET MORE RENTS IF IT'S HIGHER THAN 60 80%. SO I MEAN THAT'S YEAH GREAT GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE THIS AN AREA WHERE THE TEXT AMENDMENT SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BUT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT GOES A STEP FARTHER. THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT STATES THAT ALL OF THE UNITS ARE TO SERVE THE ISLAND WORKFORCE.

IT SAYS EITHER WORK OR WILL WORK ON HILTON HEAD SO THEY ALL HAVE TO A FUTURE TENANT WILL

[01:05:06]

THEN THEY WOULD EARN THEIR 80 AND THEY'RE ABLE MOVE INTO A 120 UNIT AND THEN THEY'RE 80 AND UNDER UNIT BECOMES IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR NEW TENANT WELL ONCE THEY OUT EARN THE 120 THEN THEY'RE UP TO THE 150. WELL WE ARE WORKING ON A LEASE RIGHT NOW THAT WILL PROVIDE A GRACEFUL TRANSITION PERIOD FOR SOMEBODY WHO EVENTUALLY OUT EARNS THE COMMUNITY. BUT I UNDERSTAND FROM SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS NOT NOT THE HILTON HEADS PROGRAM BUT SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS ONCE YOU QUALIFY YOU'RE IN FOREVER THIS THIS IS DIFFERENT. THIS IS TO SERVE THE ISLAND'S WORKFORCE WITHIN THOSE PARAMETERS. SO IT'S IT'S OUR CHARGE THEN TO FIND HOUSING ON THE ISLAND FOR THOSE THAT QUALIFY OUT OF THIS AND AND SO GOING TO BE THE NEXT CHALLENGE FOR US AND NOT TO GET OUTSIDE THE SCOPE TOO MUCH BUT THIS IS WORTH NOTING THAT'S WHERE MISSY AND I GET WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT BRYAN ROAD AND SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT'S THE DREAM I LOOK AT MYSELF AND MANY OF MY FRIENDS WE OUR CAREERS ON HILTON HEAD WE RENTED WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOME, WE BOUGHT OUR SECOND HOME AND SO IT'S NOT JUST SERVING SOMEBODY IN HOSPITALITY WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT BUT IT'S ALSO THE FUTURE LEADERS OF YELP THAT IT'S THE ENTRY LEVEL PLANNERS HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE SO THEY CAN ADVANCE IN THEIR BUT YES, SIR, IT'S A IT'S A MULTIFACETED APPROACH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. CURTIS SO THIS NORTHPOINT DEVELOPMENT IS AWESOME FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AS AN ARCHITECT IT'S A CLASSY DEVELOPMENT, REALLY, REALLY EXCITING. MY QUESTION IS REALLY WE'RE PROBABLY 250 UNITS SHORT OF WHERE WE NEED TO BE FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING BY THE TOWN'S OWN ASSESSMENT AND 400 IS THIS TARGET ARE YOU AND THIS IS CONJECTURE BUT ARE YOU FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THIS AMENDMENT IS NOT GOING TO PREVENT OTHER DEVELOPERS IS THERE ANYTHING IN HERE WE TO CONSIDER TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE NEXT 150 OR 100 UNITS TO COME ONLINE IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS? I WANT TO KEEP THE BALL ROLLING. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS A ONE STOP LET'S GET NORTH DONE RIGHT WE NEED MORE AND I JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE DOING DOESN'T PRECLUDE US FROM DOING THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AS WE NEED TO I WOULD SAY IT DOES THE OPPOSITE OF PRECLUDING AND IT INCENTIVIZES PART OF IT IS THE TOWN WENT OUT WITH THIS REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS BUT THE COMMITTEE THAT DOWN TO SEVEN QUALIFIED PROPOSALS THOROUGHLY VETTED THOSE SEVEN FIRMS INTERVIEWED EACH ONE ASKED A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS AND THEN ENTERED INTO ULTIMATELY TOWN COUNCIL ENTERED INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH PREFERRED DEVELOPMENT PARTNER OR THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT STATED THAT THE TOWN WOULD ENTITLE THE PROPERTY Y'KNOW EARLY ON JUST THROUGH THAT INTERVIEW PROCESS SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS GET A LITTLE NERVOUS WHILE IT'S ZONED NOW YEAH BUT WE'RE GOING TO ENTITLE IT WHAT'S THE DENSITY. WELL WE DON'T KNOW WHY DON'T YOU KNOW BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO CALIBRATE THE SITE WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WILL FIT ON THERE WHILE MAINTAINING NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE. BUT OUR PARTNER HAS DONE EVERYTHING THAT THEY'VE PROMISED AND THE TOWN HAS DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE AGREED TO AS WELL. SO IF ANYTHING I WOULD SAY THIS WILL INCENTIVIZE OTHER TYPES OF PARTNERSHIP UPS BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THAT AGREEMENT. IT'S I THINK AGREEMENT THAT WOULD PRECLUDE FUTURE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS THAT I DON'T SEE ANY OTHERS.

[01:10:02]

MR. JAMES IF THERE'S A PAUSE PEOPLE THIS AND ARE YOU SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT? I THINK IS AGAIN CAN YOU PLEASE OPEN THE PUBLIC? I COULD I'M SORRY. YEAH, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN.

I'M SORRY. YES. I COMMEND YOU GUYS.

I DID THAT JOB FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE.

YOUR JOB AND I KNOW IT I'VE GOT SOME PROBLEMS WITH THAT AREA BUT THE PICKLEBALL OKAY WE'VE GOT A STOP SIGN THERE. IT WAS KNOCKED DOWN ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE TIMES SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE THIS WHOLE THING STARTED AND IT BOTHERS ME IN ADDITION TO THAT ON MY WAY HERE EVENING SOMEBODY WAS PARKED NEXT TO MY MAILBOX. I COULDN'T THERE OKAY THEN ANOTHER GUY PARK RIGHT IN OF ME JUST SITTING THERE ON HIS PHONE AND I'M WONDERING, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN WHEN HIS FADE IS FAN FADES AWAY? OKAY. WE'VE PUT A LOT OF MONEY THE TENNIS COURT ORIGINALLY AND WE GOT IT DONE. OKAY. ANOTHER THING I WANT TO SAY IS THAT THE THE WALLS I LIVE REAL GIRL POSTED A PICKLEBALL COURT OKAY AND THEY PROMISED THAT THE THEY WOULD USE WE WOULD NOT BE THE STANDARD THAT MAKES THAT TOP TEN SIGN OKAY SO I BELIEVE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A TOPIC WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER LATER IS THIS THE THE OLD SCHOOL HOST PARK PROPOSED RESTROOM YES. OKAY. WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE YET.

I'M SORRY WE CALLED YOU UP A LITTLE BIT SOONER THAN WE SHOULD HAVE.

SORRY. HELLO? WAS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO? WHAT? WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE RESTROOM.

WE'RE NOT RIGHT. OKAY. WE'LL HAVE A TURN IN JUST A MINUTE, SIR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I HAD NOBODY ELSE THAT SIGNED UP SO THAT I WILL JUST TAKE IT ONE AT A TIME FROM THE AUDIENCE. IF YOU COME FORWARD, SIR, STATE YOUR NAME AND WHERE YOU LIVE AND RECOGNIZE THAT YOUR TIME IS LIMITED TO 3 MINUTES. SURE.

THANK YOU. MY NAME IS JAMES UPPAL AND I LIVE AT 28 GOLDEN HIND DRIVE AND MY PLANTATION'S I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I LOVE THE OPENNESS, THE ENGAGEMENT SO IT'S AWESOME SIR OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. IT WAS GREAT. MY QUESTIONS I KNOW I MAY NOT GET THE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS BUT AT LEAST ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THESE QUESTIONS AND I HAVE THREE ONE THIS PROPERTY IS VERY CLOSE TO 278 AND I HEARD NO MENTION OF ANY BARRIER OR FENCING OR PROTECTION FOR WHAT I PRESUME WILL BE A FAMILY HEAVY DEVELOPMENT VERY, VERY CLOSE TO 278 WHICH IS VERY FAST SO I DIDN'T SEE IT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN PRESENTED IF IT WAS I APOLOGIZE I WOULD ASK THE QUESTION. THE SECOND QUESTION IS ABOUT TRAFFIC WE ALL KNOW TURNING LEFT ON TO COME TO YOUR ANYTHING IN RUSH HOUR IS HORRID. I'M CURIOUS IF SOME KIND OF A TRAFFIC STUDY WAS DONE AT LEAST 300 CARS I PRESUME IS THE PARKING IS MADE FOR I KNOW MOST OF THESE PEOPLE WILL BE ARE MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WILL BE EMPLOYED ON THE ISLAND SO THERE MAY DIFFERENT BUT PROBABLY ONE PERSON IN THAT DOMICILE COULD BE OFF ISLAND SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A TRAFFIC STUDY CONDUCTED AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT AT LEAST LOOK AT THAT IF IT HASN'T.

AND THEN LASTLY IF YOU LOOK AT ENTERING INTO NORTH POINT, THERE IS A RAMP THAT IS NOT ON THE MAIN THREE LANES OR TWO LANES WHATEVER IT IS THERE'S A RAMP TO GET ON.

BUT WHEN YOU GO WEST THERE IS NO RAMP, THERE IS NO WAY TO GET ONTO TO 78 YOU'RE FROM STOP DEAD THERE COULD INSTALLED SOME KIND OF A RAMP TO GIVE PEOPLE OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP TO SPEED WE ALL KNOW THAT SPEED IS ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR THERE EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULDN'T BE AGAIN IF THIS WAS ADDRESSED BEFORE I APOLOGIZE BUT IT'S NOT ON THE PICTURE.

I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE WHEN. THOSE RAMPS ARE IN PLACE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, JOHN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE TOPIC OF THE REZONING ISSUE I SEE NONE. WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMISSION FOR DISCUSSION. WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE? I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION. COULD YOU DO THE PLAN PUT IT BACK UP HERE.

SO BECAUSE I I REMEMBERED I WANTED TO SEE THE INGRESS AND EGRESS PRETTY I'LL GO RIGHT TO

[01:15:09]

WE ALSO WANTED TO HAVE AS MUCH SEPARATION AS POSSIBLE FROM THE EDGE OF THE PAVEMENT INTO THE SITE SO YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE OVER 100 FEET THROUGH OUR WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF EXISTING TREES AND VEGETATION ON THE PROPERTY. WE'RE NOT ENVISIONING A WALL WE CAN DO SOME VERMIN BUT TO GROW THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A LIFE OPENING WITH NATURE IS NOT TO NOT TO PUT UP A SOUND WALL AND EVEN IF WE DO IN BIRMINGHAM IT WOULD IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT DID NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT ANY OF THE BEAUTIFUL TREES ON THE PROPERTY BECAUSE THERE REALLY ARE SOME SPECTACULAR TREES THE BUFFER AS YOU GET INTO THE SITE THERE ARE A LOT MORE PINES. IT'S BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY DEVELOPED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION OPEN IF WE IF WE ARE TO ADVANCE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE ZONING ENABLING AND THEN THE TOWN COUNCIL AGREES WITH THAT YOU WOULD BE COMING BACK WITHIN 90 DAYS WITH THE MORE SPECIFIC SITE PLAN THAT HAS SOME OF THESE FEATURES MENTIONED TODAY THAT WOULD WOULD HELP US UNDERSTAND WE WILL AND THE REASON I WANTED TO BRING YOU IS

[01:20:02]

AND WHAT WE FOUND WAS THE R M 12 WAS E CLOSEST MATCH WITH THE ADDITION OF THE BONUS DENSITY AND IN CALIBRATING THE SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS BUT THAT'S WHY IT WAS SELECTED.

IT'S THE CLOSEST MATCH. IT'S VERY COMPATIBLE AND HARMONIOUS WITH.

THE OTHER ADJACENT USES THE ROOM FOUR TO THE NORTH WHICH COULD YIELD AS MANY AS 12 UNITS A POST OFFICE PROPERTY. AND THEN WE WE EVEN LOOKED AT WMU AT ONE POINT AND WHICH DIDN'T MAKE SENSE IT IS IT'S A WATERFRONT MIXED USE DISTRICT OR WE'VE ALWAYS SAID BEFORE WE KNEW WHAT THE RIGHT ZONING DISTRICT WAS. WE ALWAYS IT HAS TO BE NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE ONCE NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE MAXIMUM THREE STORIES WHAT IS OUR M 12 ALLOW MAXIMUM THREE STORIES BUT WE ALSO WANT TO HAVE A SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WAS ALL THREE STORIES THAT LOOKED MONOLITHIC THIS HAS A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT BUILDING TYPES WHERE IT GOES UP IN SCALE WHERE IT GOES FROM THAT SINGLE TO THREE STORIES AND THAT'S WHY WE NEEDED TO CALIBRATE THE MAXIMUM IMPERVIOUS SURFACE COVERAGE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES THANKS YOU'RE WELCOME OKAY COMMISSIONERS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? ARE WE READY TO SOMEBODY TO MAKE A MOTION HERE? COMMISSIONER CURTIS SURE.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION FORWARD TO TOWN COUNCIL AND APPROVAL OF THE TEXT AMENDMENTS HAS PRESENTED AS THEIR SECOND ONSITE SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DREW OUT OF THE COMMISSION DISCUSSION ARE YOU READY FOR THE VOTE ALL IN FAVOR OF FORWARDING OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL TO TOWN COUNCIL WE RAISE YOUR

[6.c. Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend the Official Zoning Map with Respect to the 16 Parcels Located on Northpoint Circle to Rezone the Parcels from the Parks and Recreation (PR) District to the Moderate to High Density Residential (RM-12) District; and Providing for Severability and an Effective Date - First Reading - Missy Luick, Director of Planning]

IN THE LATE 1980S THIS AREA TRANSITIONED INTO A COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ACQUIRED BY THE SOUTH DEPARTMENT. SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF IN THE NINETIES TO CONSTRUCT THE CROSS ISLAND PARKWAY BETWEEN 1997 AND 99 THE TOWN PURCHASED THE PROPERTY AND INCLUDED INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE STATE OWNED RIGHT OF WAYS AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE SQUARE POPE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD IT IS A HISTORIC ISLAND NEIGHBORHOOD IT IS ALSO WITHIN TOWN'S CORRIDOR OVERLAY

[01:25:02]

SO THOSE ARE THIS THIS PARTICULAR SITE IN THE ADJACENT ZONING AS.

THIS IS A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS THE GROUNDS THE AMENDMENT HAVE BEEN MET. THERE WAS AN APPLICATION THAT'S INCLUDED WITHIN THE MATERIALS OF WHICH THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD AS THE APPLICANT HAS DESCRIBED HOW IT MEETS THE REQUIRED REVIEW CRITERIA AND AGAIN WHAT IS REQUESTED IS REZONING THESE 16 PARCELS TO ALM 12 THERE ARE NINE REQUIRED CRITERIA THAT HAVE TO BE EVALUATED WHEN CONSIDERING A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT. THERE ARE MANY SLIDES THAT GO EACH OF THE REQUIRED CRITERIA SO BEAR WITH ME AS I GO THROUGH THEM ON CRITERIA NUMBER ONE ALONE THERE ARE 14 SLIDES SO CRITERIA NUMBER ONE STATES WHETHER AND TO THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PROPOSED ZONING IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THERE ARE MANY REFERENCES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I COVER FOR THE RECORD AS THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING ALL OF THE IN THESE FINDINGS WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE APPLICATION ADDRESSES THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS CORE VALUE RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE AND THE GOAL IN THE IDEALS OF EXCELLENCE IS TO ADOPT AND PURSUE OUR IDEALS OF EXCELLENCE FOR HILTON HEAD ISLAND THROUGH SEVERAL STRATEGIES AND TACTICS CONTINUE TO PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE RANGE OF USES THAT ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT HELP HILTON ISLAND BE COMPETITIVE AND AFFORDABLE PLACE TO LIVE AND WORK CORE VALUE REVITALIZING AND MODERNIZING THE ECONOMY GOAL THREE UNDER BRAND TO MANAGE EVOLVING ECONOMIC GROWTH WHILE MAINTAINING HILTON HEAD ISLAND'S UNIQUE ESTHETIC SEVERAL STRATEGIES INTERESTED IN TACTICS INCLUDE MONITOR DEMOGRAPHICS ECONOMIC TRENDS TO MANAGE EMERGING GROWTH CHANGES MONITOR TRENDS IN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND PROVIDE HOUSING OPTIONS THAT MEET MARKET DEMANDS. GOAL NUMBER SIX PERTAINS TO WORKFORCE TO HAVE A HIGH QUALITY HOUSING THROUGH EFFECTIVE INCENTIVES, STRATEGIES AND TACTICS INCLUDE ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORKFORCE HOUSING THROUGH EFFECTIVE INCENTIVES CONTINUE TO PURSUE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE TOWNS WORKFORCE HOUSING STRATEGIC PLAN IDENTIFY METHODS TO SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION OF NEW WORKFORCE HOUSING BY 2024. CONSIDER THE USE OF TOWN PROPERTIES WHERE APPROPRIATE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS FOR LAND SWAPS, FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING REVIEW THE LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM TO DETERMINE IF A WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE MODIFICATION GOING FORWARD. MONITOR CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS AND TRENDS IN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING OPTIONS TO MEET MARKET DEMANDS.

[01:30:02]

AND FINALLY THE CONCLUSIONS FOR CRITERIA NUMBER IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING ALONG WITH THE AMENDMENT TO ALLOW WORKFORCE HOUSING AND ARM 12 IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THE PROPOSED WILL MODIFY THE EXISTING PERMITTED LAND USE TO PROMOTE HOUSING OPTIONS AND THE NEEDS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS ON THE ISLAND AND IS WITH THE CORE VALUE INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO CREATE RIGHT SIZED INFRASTRUCTURE AND ALSO THE PROPOSED REZONING AND ALAMO AMENDMENT WILL EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND AND IN THE REGION BY ADDING WORKFORCE HOUSING AS AN ALLOWABLE USE CONSISTENT WITH CORE VALUE EXPANDING TO EMBRACE AND REGIONAL FOCUS CRITERIA NUMBER TWO STATES WHETHER AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PROPOSED ZONING WOULD ALLOW A RANGE OF USES THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE USES ALLOWED ON OTHER PROPERTY IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY.

THE FINDINGS INCLUDE THAT THE PROPERTY IS IT'S PROPOSED TO BE ZONED FROM PARKS AND REC TO R M 12 TO ALLOW WORKFORCE HOUSING. WE'VE STATED ADJACENT TO NORTH IS MARCH MARCH POINTE APARTMENTS WHICH IS ZONED ARE M FOUR AND HAS 140 DWELLING UNITS ON THE PROPERTY.

BOTH THE ARMED FORCE AND THE ARMED 12TH DISTRICT HAVE THE SAME RESIDENTIAL USES INCLUDE FAMILY COMPOUND FAMILY SUBDIVISION GROUP LIVING MULTIFAMILY RECREATIONAL VEHICLE AND SINGLE FAMILY THE RANGE OF ALLOWABLE USES AND DENSITIES MULTIFAMILY AND ARMED FOR AN ARM 12 ARE SIMILAR IN NATURE. THE PROPOSED ZONING HAS SIMILAR DENSITIES FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING ARMED FOR ALLOWS WORKFORCE HOUSING CONSISTENT WITH THE PROPOSED TO ARM 12 HOWEVER ARM FOUR ALLOWS WORKFORCE HOUSING DENSITY BONUS OF UP TO 12 UNITS PER ACRE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES AND ARM 12 ALLOWS UP TO 12 UNITS PER ACRE AND THE PROPOSED HOUSING TEXT AMENDMENT THAT WE JUST CONSIDERED WOULD ALLOW A RESIDENTIAL DENSITY BONUS OF UP TO 25% UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES RESULTING IN UP TO 15 UNITS PER ACRE.

ALTHOUGH THE NORTHPOINT DENSITY UNDER THE REZONING IN ALAMO WOULD ALLOW A GREATER DENSITY THAN THE NEIGHBORING MARSH POINT THE SITE HAS DIRECT FRONTAGE ALONG WILLIAM HILL PARKWAY AND SIGNIFICANTLY LESS WATER FRONTAGE ALONG JARVIS CREEK MAKING IT MORE SUITABLE FOR INCREASED DENSITY FROM A LAND USE AND COMPATIBILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT.

THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE IS ADJACENT TO THE SITE IS IN THE LC ZONING DISTRICT WHICH ALLOWS WORKFORCE BY COMMERCIAL CONVERSION AND IS PERMITTED WITH CONDITIONS.

SO IN CONCLUSION CRITERIA TO WILL ALLOW USES THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING NEIGHBOR USES ALLOWED ANOTHER PROPERTY IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY.

THE PROPOSED ZONING WILL ADD THE FOLLOWING LAND USES THAT WE'VE DESCRIBED FAMILY COMPOUND FAMILY SUBDIVISION GROUP LIVING MULTIFAMILY RECREATIONAL SINGLE FAMILY AND WORKFORCE HOUSING CRITERIA THREE IS WHETHER AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PROPOSED ZONING IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE LAND. THE FINDINGS INCLUDE THAT THE PROPERTY WAS ONCE PART OF THE HILTON HEAD PLANTATION PLAN AND IDENTIFIED FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY SUBDIVIDED AND DEVELOPED WITH SUPPORTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE AND NORTHPOINT CIRCLE ROAD UTILITIES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON THE SITE THE SITE HAS DIRECT ACCESS TO WILLIAM HILTON PARKWAY. THE NORTHPOINT TRACT IS LOCATED ON WILLIAM HILL PARKWAY AND YOUR COUNTRY ROAD IT'S CLOSE TO JOBS, SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY SERVICES AND PUBLIC FACILITIES NEARBY OR THE HOSPITAL FIRE STATIONS, MEDICAL OFFICES, BOYS

[01:35:04]

IN THE STAFF REPORT WE FOUND THAT THE WORKFORCE HOUSING STRATEGIC ACTION SUGGESTS THE ISLAND SHOULD SET A GOAL TO FACILITATE CONSTRUCTING 200 NEW HOUSING UNITS ANNUALLY FOR TEN YEARS. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUGGESTS THE TOWN ATTRACTS AND MAINTAINS A DIVERSE AND MULTIDIMENSIONAL RESIDENTIAL POPULATION A COMPETITIVE WORK OPTION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALSO SUGGESTS THE TOWN CONTINUALLY ADAPT THE CORE VALUES AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE.

THE APPLICATION IS INTEGRAL TO THE NORTH POINT WORKFORCE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHICH IS DEDICATED TO ADVANCING THE WORKFORCE HOUSING FRAMEWORK .

HILTON HEAD ISLAND AND THE PROPOSED REZONING WILL EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING ON THE ISLAND AND IN THE REGION BY. ADDING WORKFORCE HOUSING IS AN ALLOWABLE PRINCIPAL USE CONSISTENT WITH CORE VALUE EXPANDING TO EMBRACE AN INTEGRATED REGIONAL FOCUS THE APPLICATION PROPOSES NORTHPOINT WILL PROVIDE HOUSING HAS BEEN EXPLAINED THE PROJECT TARGET HOUSEHOLDS EARNING BETWEEN 60 AND 150% OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME WITH AT LEAST 50% OF THE UNITS RESERVED FOR HOUSEHOLDS EARNING BETWEEN 60 AND 80% OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME AND IT WILL LONG TERM AFFORDABILITY THROUGH COVENANTS GUARANTEEING THE UNITS ACCESSIBLE TO THE ISLAND'S WORKFORCE IN PERPETUITY.

THE REZONING WOULD PROVIDE APPROPRIATE MODIFICATIONS TO THE ZONING DESIGNATION AS LAND USE REGULATIONS TO MEET OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS WHILE MAINTAINING ISLAND CHARACTER AS IDENTIFIED IN OUR PLAN AND WE'VE CONCLUDED THE REZONING WOULD FULFILL A DEMONSTRATED COMMUNITY NEED. THE PROPOSED REZONING WOULD ALLOW WORKFORCE HOUSING ENSURE LONG TERM AFFORDABILITY THROUGH COVENANTS GUARANTEEING THAT UNITS REMAIN ACCESSIBLE TO THE ISLAND'S WORKFORCE IN PERPETUITY. CRITERIA FIVE STATES WHETHER AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PROPOSED ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL ZONING PROGRAM AS EXPRESSED IN FUTURE PLANS FOR THE TOWN. THE FINDINGS INCLUDE THAT THIS APPLICATION IS AGAIN INTEGRAL TO THE NORTHPOINT WORKFORCE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS DEDICATED TO ADVANCING THE TOWN'S WORKFORCE HOUSING FRAMEWORK.

THE PURPOSE OF THE ARMED 12TH DISTRICT IS QUOTED HERE TO ALLOW HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USES IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE SERVED BY ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE WHILE MAINTAINING THE CHARACTER OF THESE AREAS AND NEIGHBORHOODS AND DENSITIES UP TO 12 UNITS PER ACRE THE PARKS AND REC DISTRICT DOES NOT ALLOW RESIDENTIAL USES SUCH WORKFORCE HOUSING AND HIS TOWN AS PART OF THE TOWN'S PRIORITY TO PREPARE AND ADOPT THE SKULL CREEK DISTRICT PLAN. THE STUDY AREA ASPIRATION STATEMENT SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING A VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES WORKFORCE HOUSING, ISLAND EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES. THIS AREA HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE AS PART OF THE FUTURE LAND USE CONSIDERATIONS THAT DRAFT PLAN . THE CONCLUSIONS STATED THAT THE PROPOSED ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL ZONING PROGRAM AS IN THE DRAFT DISTRICT PLAN AND THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN APPLICATION IS INTEGRAL TO THE NORTH POINT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION DISTRICT DOES NOT ALLOW WORKFORCE HOUSING AND THE HARM 12 DISTRICT REZONING AND ASSOCIATED TEXT AMENDMENTS WOULD ALLOW THE TOWN TO ACHIEVE ITS STATED OBJECTIVES. CRITERIA NUMBER SIX IS WHETHER AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PROPOSED ZONING WOULD AVOID CREATING AN INAPPROPRIATE ISOLATED DISTRICT UNRELATED TO ADJACENT AND SURROUNDING ZONING DISTRICTS. THIS APPLICATION WOULD BE ZONE SIX PARCELS TOTALING 11.337 ACRES. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ADJACENT TO THREE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS ARMED FOR LIGHT COMMERCIAL AND PR ADJACENT TO THE NORTHPOINT PROPERTY AS NORTHPOINT APARTMENTS WHICH IS ZONED ARM FOR AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 140 MULTIFAMILY DWELLING UNITS ON THE PROPERTY. THE RANGE OF ALLOWABLE USES AND DENSITIES FOR ARM FOR AN ARM 12 DISTRICTS ARE SIMILAR IN NATURE .

THE PROPOSED ZONING HAS SIMILAR DENSITIES FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING WORKFORCE.

HOUSING IS PERMITTED IN THE ADJACENT ARM FOR AN LLC DISTRICTS.

[01:40:03]

AS PART OF THAT APPLICATION ANY REQUIRED INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, ENCROACHMENT PERMITS, APPROVALS FROM OUTSIDE AGENCIES SUCH AS THE PUBLIC SERVICE DISTRICT SPARK PERMIT ELECTRIC AND NCDOT WOULD BE REQUIRED PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF THAT DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW THE APPLICANT'S NARRATIVE READS THAT THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE WOULD FACILITATE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING THROUGH A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP.

THE AMENDMENT ALIGNS WITH THE TOWN'S GOALS TO ADDRESS THE GROWING DEMAND FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING WHILE UTILIZING THE PROPERTY'S EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE AND VIBRANT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THE PROPOSED ZONING IS CONCLUDED THAT IT WOULD RESULT IN A DEVELOPMENT THAT CAN BE AND IS ALREADY SERVED BY AVAILABLE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND FINALLY NUMBER NINE IS APPROPRIATE DUE TO ANY CHANGE OR CHANGING CONDITIONS IN THE AFFECTED AREA. WE FOUND THE IS INTEGRAL TO ADVANCING THE NORTH POINT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THE PROPERTY WAS ONCE PART OF HILTON HEAD PLANTATION AND IDENTIFIED FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT TO NORTH POINT PROPERTY IS NORTH MARSH POINTE APPOINTMENTS APARTMENTS WHICH IS ARM FOR AND HAS 140 DWELLING UNITS ON THE PROPERTY .

IN 2014 THE PROPERTY WAS REZONE TO PARKS AND REC DISTRICT WHICH IS INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE AND MANAGE LAND USES ON PUBLICLY HELD LAND USE FOR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE RECREATION PURPOSES OR PUBLICLY OWNED LAND PRESERVED IN ITS NATURAL STATE FOR PUBLIC ENJOYMENT AND THE CREATION OF WORKFORCE HOUSING ALIGNS WITH THE TOWN'S CORE VALUES WITHIN THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO CREATE RIGHT SIZED INFRASTRUCTURE THE REZONING WOULD PROVIDE APPROPRIATE MODIFICATIONS THE ZONING DESIGNATIONS AND LAND USE REGULATIONS TO MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS WHILE MAINTAINING ISLAND CHARACTER.

THE TEX AMENDMENT ALLOWS A DENSITY BONUS OF UP TO 25% ABOVE THE BASE RESIDENTIAL IN THE ARM 12 DISTRICT IF AT LEAST 50% OF THE UNITS ARE DEVELOPED AS WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS.

AGAIN IT'S A REQUEST TO REZONE PROPERTY FROM PARKS AND RECREATION TO ARM 12 TO ALLOW WORKFORCE. MANY UNITS ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND FORMERLY AVAILABLE TO THE WORKFORCE HAVE BEEN CONVERTED SHORT TERM RENTALS IN RECENT YEARS.

THERE ARE SHIFTS IN EMPLOYMENT HOUSING TO THE MAINLAND THAT HAVE IMPACTED THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT THE WORKFORCE, PROVIDE HOUSING THAT MEETS WORKFORCE HOUSING NEEDS ON THE ISLAND AND THE AVAILABILITY OF AFFORDABLE ATTAINABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING IS LIMITED AND CHANGING HOUSING MARKET CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE CHALLENGE ENSURING AVAILABILITY OF HOUSING FOR THE TOWN'S WORKFORCE. IT'S CONCLUDED THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING IS APPROPRIATE DUE TO THE CHANGES IN THE AREA INCLUDING HOUSING MARKET CHALLENGES AND HOUSING SUPPLY. THE PROPOSED REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING WITH A BONUS DENSITY ON THE PROPERTY NEXT TO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY SERVICES AND PUBLIC AMENITIES. IT IS RECOMMENDED AGAIN THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS THE PLANNING COMMISSION FIND THIS APPLICATION TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND DOES SERVE TO CARRY OUT THE PURPOSES OF THE LAND ORDINANCE. BASED ON ALL OF THOSE FINDINGS AND FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS THAT WERE OUTLINED TODAY AND IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT, WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL ON

[01:45:01]

[6.d. Public Hearing for Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend Title 16 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Hilton Head Island, the Land Management Ordinance, to amend Chapter 16-5, Development and Design Standards, to add new Construction Management Standards as: 16-5-117. - Missy Luick, Director of Planning]

NEXT STEP IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW AND CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE TO CREATE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT STANDARDS TOWN STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT. I WON'T GO THROUGH THE BACKGROUND OF THE ALAMO AMENDMENT PROCESS. WE'VE ALREADY COVERED THAT.

HOWEVER, I WILL REITERATE THAT IN SEPTEMBER TOWN COUNCIL HELD A WORKSHOP WHERE WE DISCUSSED ALL OF THE PRIORITY AMENDMENTS UNDER CONSIDERATION AND SPECIFICALLY TO MANAGEMENT STANDARDS WE DISCUSSED REQUIRING A REFUGE DISPOSAL PLAN, CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE PARKING PLAN, SITE MANAGEMENT ACCESS MANAGEMENT PLAN AND REQUIRE A SECURE CONSTRUCTION DURING NAMED STORM EVENTS. THIS AMENDMENT THAT'S PROPOSED SETS OUT TO DO JUST THAT IT'S ACKNOWLEDGED THAT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS DO HAVE THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE IMMEDIATE SITE THAT AFFECTS AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS THERE ARE DISRUPTIONS SUCH AS NOISE VIBRATIONS DUST TRAFFIC CONGESTION PARKING CHALLENGES AND THEY CAN DISRUPT OUR OUR DAILY ROUTINES AND AT THE SAME TIME WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CONSTRUCTION HAVE POSITIVE BENEFITS.

THEY INCLUDE JOB CREATION, ECONOMIC STIMULATION AND IMPROVEMENTS TO INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SPACES THAT DO ENHANCE OUR COMMUNITY. THESE AMENDMENTS WERE CREATED TO BALANCE THE POSITIVE OUTCOMES WITH THE NEED MANAGE THE DISRUPTIONS.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS DOES REFERENCE WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING WHICH MUST BE SECURED AND FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS ORDINANCE TROPICAL INCLUDE TROPICAL DEPRESSION STORMS AND HURRICANES. THERE IS LIKE WE DO FOR ALL THE AMENDMENTS THAT INCLUDES A TABLE THAT OUTLINES THE ISSUE AND HOW THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT ADDRESSES THAT.

THIS AMENDMENT SET IS IS PUT TOGETHER REALLY IN CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT STANDARDS IN SIX SECTIONS. IT'S IT COVERS NOISE STORMWATER REFUSE AND SITE CLEANLINESS TRAFFIC AND PARKING SITE MANAGEMENT AND ENFORCEMENT. THE FIRST ITEM IS NOISE AND HOURS OF OPERATION AND THAT MIRRORS THE AMENDMENT THAT WAS DONE TO THE NOISE ORDINANCE AND IS IS MENTIONING THAT CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT STANDARDS HAS TO ALSO MEET OUR CURRENT NOISE ORDINANCE WHICH WAS RECENTLY AMENDED FOR &-PE MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY 7 TO 7 EXCLUDING THREE MAJOR HOLIDAYS . ALSO THE AMENDMENT ADHERENCE TO SOUTH CAROLINA OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL REQUIREMENTS FOR STORMWATER AS WELL AS SITE CLEANLINESS REQUIREMENTS. SO THE CREATION OF A REFUGE DISPOSAL PLAN AS WELL AS A STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN THAT'S REQUIRED AND A NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT ARE RELATED WITHIN THAT RELATED TO SITE AND LOADING AND UNLOADING STORAGE AND TRASH AND DEBRIS ARE INCLUDED THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

AND THEN THERE ALSO THE REQUIREMENT IN SECTION C EIGHT OF THAT PARTICULAR SECTION WHERE IT REQUIRES THAT THE SITE IS SECURED DURING A NAMED STORM.

THE ACTUAL VERBIAGE THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE CODE AMENDMENT IS HERE AND IT TALKS ABOUT THAT THAT SITE AND DEBRIS OR WASTE ALL OF THE SITE COMPONENTS HAVE TO BE SECURED WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER THERE IS ISSUANCE OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH OR WARNING.

THERE'S REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED. THE ISSUE WAS THE VEHICLE

[01:50:02]

SHOULD KEEP GOING. THIS APPLIES TO NEW DEVELOPMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION AND WOULD NOT CREATE ANY NON-CONFORMING. AGAIN THERE ARE THE STANDARD TEXT AMENDMENT REVIEW CRITERIA . ALL THE TEXT AMENDMENTS HAVE TO MEET ITEMS A THROUGH F WE INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT HOW THOSE PARTICULAR REVIEW ARE MET WITH THIS PARTICULAR AMENDMENT. THE OUR PLAN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS SOME IDEAS EXCELLENCE IN OUR PLANNING AND PROCESSES THAT AIM FOR TOWN PLANNING AND PROCESSES TO USE INNOVATION AND LEARNING TO CONTINUALLY DEVELOP AND APPLY BEST PRACTICES AND STANDARDS, PROCESSES AND PROJECTS. THIS AMENDMENT DOES THIS BY HELPING TO IMPROVE THE WAY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ARE REGULATED IN ORDER TO ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE SAFE CONSTRUCTION SITE CONDITIONS AND ENHANCED NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTIONS.

IT ADDRESSES PRESENT DAY CONDITIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ON THE ISLAND GIVEN THAT PROJECTS ARE INCREASINGLY RELATED TO REDEVELOPMENT ENHANCEMENT EXISTING SITES IN ALREADY DEVELOPED AREAS IN RESPONSE TO VOICED ABOUT IMPROPER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES. IT ENSURES THAT DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE AND THE OBJECTIVE TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE AND COURAGE IS WELL CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES AND ORDERLY MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL OF TRASH SITE CLEARING AND CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION REFUGE OR DEBRIS OR WASTE MATERIAL AND ENSURE SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES SAFE AND EFFICIENT CONSTRUCT TRAFFIC, PARKING AND CIRCULATION AND HIGHER STANDARDS FOR SANITATION ,TREE PROTECTION AND OVERALL IMPACT MITIGATION.

IT IS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU CONSIDER THIS AMENDMENT AND THAT YOU RECOMMEND APPROVAL? ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I WILL REMIND EVERYBODY THAT WE ARE IN A PUBLIC HEARING PERIOD RIGHT. BUT LET'S FIND OUT IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OBVIOUSLY FROM THE COMMISSION FIRST THE COMMISSIONER HAS KIND OF CURIOSITY ON THE ENFORCEMENT AND THOSE ARE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS THAT WE HAVE AT THE TOWN. YES, WE HAVE A CODE ENFORCEMENT TEAM.

WE ALSO DO CODE ENFORCEMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT THROUGH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AS AS THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER WHALEY ON THE SITE CLEANLINESS ARE YOU JUST TALKING REFUSE OR DOES IT WOULD IT COVER IN PROCESS PILES OF LUMBER AND CONCRETE? I CLEANLINESS I THINK BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME AND I MAY BE READING IT WRONG AND IT FOCUSES ON STUFF THAT'S GOING TO BE TRASH NOT SORT OF STUFF SITTING AROUND IT. IT HANDLES IT'S IT'S A PRETTY EXHAUSTIVE LIST.

SO IT'S IT'S TRASH. IT'S DEMOLITION WASTE MATERIAL AND THEN IT NEEDS TO HAVE OTHER DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE AMOUNTS OF TRASH WASTE MATERIAL TO BE DISPOSED OF AND THEN TRASH RELATED TO SITE CLEARING CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION DEBRIS.

THERE'S ALSO SITE CLEARING DEBRIS AND REFUGE. IT IDENTIFIES LOADING AND UNLOADING LOCATION STORAGE OF TRASH AND THEN ALSO ADDITIONAL TRASH SITE CLEARING CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION OR DEBRIS WASTE MATERIAL NEEDS TO BE HAULED AWAY AND DISPOSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS. IT COVERS MUD, DIRT AND DEBRIS. WHAT KIND OF I THINK SITE ARE YOU THINKING IS MAYBE NOT COVERED IN ALL OF . I THINK MAYBE I ASK THE QUESTION I WAS IN AN ARTFUL WAY TO ASK THE QUESTION. DURING CONSTRUCTION YOU'LL HAVE STACKS LUMBER OR BAGS OF CONCRETE AND THOSE ARE NOT NECESSARILY A POINT.

MAYBE IT'S NOT A PROBLEM IN TOWN. THOSE ARE GENERALLY KEPT ORDERLY ON THE CONSTRUCTION SITES. IT'S STILL IN PROCESS MATERIALS. IT'S NOT CONSIDERED DEBRIS OR WASTE.

IS THAT BEEN A PROBLEM OR NOTHING THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED?

[01:55:02]

THAT INCLUDES YOUR MATERIALS. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY THEN LET ME OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH US ON THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC CONCERNING CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS? OKAY. WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING BRING IT BACK TO THE GUYS. DO WE NEED MORE INFO? WE HAD ALL THIS INFORMATION LONG WELL IN ADVANCE AND WE JUST HEARD PROMISES REVIEW. ARE WE READY TO ACT MAKE A MOTION TO COMMISSIONER WHALEY MAKES A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

THE TOWN COUNCIL IS SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEBAR. ANY DISCUSSION ON FAVOR THEN

[6.e. Consideration of the Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2026 Priority Projects and recommendation to Town Council. - Jeff Netzinger, Engineering and Projects Director]

NOW WE ARE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THE CONSIDERATION OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 AND THE PRIORITY TO RECOMMEND THE TOWN COUNCIL.

AND JEFF, ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT FOR US OH MR. COLE MR. PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS FORGIVE ME. I WAS SITTING THERE LONG SORT OF STEPPING UP.

I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF FRAMEWORK AT THE BEGINNING.

YOU KNOW PER THE STATE PLANNING ENABLING LEGISLATION DEFINED DEFINES THE POWERS AND THERE IS IN PLANNING COMMISSION ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS TO RECOMMEND A LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS BASED ON PREVIOUSLY DRAFTED OR APPROVED PLANS THAT THE TOWN HAS ON FILE TO RECOMMEND TO THE GOVERNING BODY WHICH IS TOWN COUNCIL PROJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION AND THEIR BUDGET DEVELOPMENT FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT IS BEYOND ONE YEAR AND OUR TEAM LED BY SHAUN MONITOR, JAFFNA SINGER AND RICHARD LOUDON AND THE CROWD HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB OF REALLY TURNING IT INTO A MEANINGFUL FIVE YEAR PROGRAM. BUT BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONE YEAR FROM FROM A BUDGETING STANDPOINT IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PRIORITY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECEIVED BY COUNCIL SO THAT THEY CAN APPLY YOUR PRIORITIES FOR CONSIDERATION AS. THE BUDGETING PROCESS CONTINUES AND BUDGET IS TYPICALLY ADOPTED IN JUNE OF EACH YEAR. OUR FISCAL YEAR RUNS JULY ONE TO JUNE 31 TO PROVIDE THAT CONTEXT TO THE COMMISSION BEFORE GETS ON TO SPECIFIC PROJECTS AND THAT'S WHERE THE ONLY QUESTIONS FOR ME BEFORE I SIT DOWN ON THAT FOR ME I'M JUST FOR REFERENCE TO THE REST OF THE COMMISSION WE REVIEW THESE LIST IN THE PAST CONSIDER ONES THAT ARE SHOWN FOR FISCAL YEAR 25 THAT ARE EITHER IN PROGRESS OR HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND THEN THE FISCAL YEAR 26 ONES ARE THE ONES THAT STAFF THAT ARE DUE TO BE DONE IN FISCAL YEAR 26 WHICH STARTS JULY ONE OF THIS YEAR AND THE ONES THAT ARE SHOWN FROM 26 THROUGH 30 OR 27 THROUGH 30 THERE FOR A REFERENCE THERE ALL OF US KNOW THAT THEY'RE ON A LIST AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE PLACE AT SOME POINT IN CASE ANYONE WANTED TO KNOW.

SO IF YOU WERE WORRIED ABOUT THE VOLUMINOUS LIST OF PROJECTS WERE GOING TO FOCUS ON ONLY THE ONES THAT ARE CURRENTLY GOING AND PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 26, IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT. AND AND I PROMISED THAT JEFF AND HIS TEAM DO NOT HAVE NINE CRITERIA TO GO THROUGH FOR EACH OF THE PROJECTS. SO WE MOVE THROUGH THIS QUICKLY AS YOU'D LIKE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SEAN.

JEFF DANZIGER IS THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND PROJECTS. I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY TO RUN THROUGH THIS LIST WITH YOU AND THANK SEAN FOR THE INTRODUCTION SO THERE'S A LOT OF PROJECTS ON THIS LIST THAT MANY OF THEM ARE NOT IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITIES THIS YEAR BUT JUST GIVING YOU A SENSE OF ALL THE THINGS WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US AGAIN YOUR DIRECTION IS IS SPOT ON WE HAVE IDENTIFIED STAFF PRIORITIES MOST EVERYTHING WE HAVE THAT'S A 25 PROJECT UNDERWAY IS IDENTIFIED AS A CARRY FORWARD IN PRIORITY TO FINISH UP SO I'M GOING TO I'M NOT TO WALK THROUGH AND TALK ABOUT EVERY PROJECT ON THIS LIST BECAUSE IN TOTAL MORE THAN 100 SO I'LL THE ONES THAT ARE OF INTEREST IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WANT TO START ME DURING OR AFTER JUST LET ME KNOW SO THE BIG ONE UNDER THE BRIDGE PROGRAM OR THE BIG TWO ARE THE BEACH RENOURISHMENT BUT I THINK YOU ALL HEARD ABOUT SO THAT IF WE WERE TO PRIORITIZE

[02:00:04]

WE WERE JUST GETTING READY TO BUILD AND TRACK ALL OVER. SO WAITING UNTIL WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THE BEACH PROJECT IS A GOOD TIME TO GO WITH THAT .

SO MOVING ON TO PATHWAYS WE ARE ARE TRYING TO TARGET SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTING SOME THINGS THIS YEAR RECOMMENDING MOVING FORWARD WITH THE JUNGLE ROAD PATHWAY WHICH IS HIGH PRIORITY FOR US ALREADY UNDERWAY IN DESIGN AND THEN MAKING SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DRAGONS ALLEY CORRIDOR WITH ENHANCING IMPROVING THAT PATHWAY AND BRINGING SIDEWALKS TO PATHWAYS SO THE SIGNAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE WE HAVE A LOT OF AGING INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE ISLANDS WE'RE CONTINUING TO TRY AND UPGRADE THAT GET THAT UP TO.

THERE'S A LOT OF OLDER SIGNAL HEADS, CABINETS ADDING INSTALLATION OF RESILIENT RESILIENCY COMPONENTS BY ADDING BATTERY BACKUPS EVERY SIGNAL. SO WE'D LIKE TO GET THAT ACCOMPLISHED NEXT YEAR UNDER OUR DIRT ROAD PAVING PROGRAM WE HAVE SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT ARE ACTIVE DESIGN TRYING TO GET THESE THINGS ACQUIRED AND SO WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THEM.

SO THE FIVE PROJECTS STILL UNDERWAY ARE THE MITCHELL ROAD ALICE FREDDY'S WAY ALFORD LANE AND BENJAMIN DRIVE. YOU SEE WE HAVE SOME MORE TEED UP ON THE LIST FOR FUTURE YEARS . THE JONES HILL ROADS IN SPANISH WELLS ROAD RIGHT HAND TURN LANE WE ARE IMPLEMENTING THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PATHWAY PROJECT BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE PATHWAY DESIGNS WE WILL EXECUTE THAT PROJECT GRANTS READY TO DELIVER AS PART OF THE PATHWAY ALSO ADDING A RETURN EGRESS ONTO SPANISH WELLS ROAD FROM FIELD ROAD HOPE AVENUE STREETS HIP AND IMPROVEMENTS WE HAVE ARE TAKING FORWARD SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BY OUR CONSULTANT AND AS PART OF THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES PLAN AND IMPLEMENTING SOME OF THAT STUFF ALONG POPE AVENUE YOU KNOW LESS LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS SIGNAGE AND LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS ALSO CONSIDERATION OF WIDENING THOSE PATHWAYS MANY PLACES THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE TRAFFIC THAT'S ON AGAIN WE'VE BROKEN DOWN THE WILLIAM HILTON PARKWAY CORRIDOR INTO EIGHT SEGMENTS AND WE'RE FOCUSING RIGHT NOW ON TO TWO FOCUS AREAS FOR NEXT YEAR AND THIS BEGINNING DESIGN FOR IMPROVEMENTS ALONG SEGMENT WHAT WE CALL FIVE BETWEEN MATHEWS DRIVE AND SHORT TRACK OF LANE.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A QUARTER OF IMPROVEMENTS THERE THAT WOULD IMPROVE SAFETY FOR SURE LANDSCAPING, SIGNAGE AND CHANGE UPGRADE THE CHARACTER OF THAT CORRIDOR.

MAYBE ADD A RAISED MEDIAN WITH SOME PLANTINGS IN IT AND CONTROL ACCESS AND IMPROVE THE WHOLE ESTHETIC OF THE CORRIDOR AS WELL. SEGMENT EIGHT ALTHOUGH THE SEGMENT IS MORE THAN JUST C POINTS CIRCLE C PINE CIRCLE IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE REALLY ANXIOUS TO IMPROVE. IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME AND WE'RE FOCUSING AN AWFUL LOT OF EFFORTS TO MAKE THAT THING MORE FUNCTIONAL. SO WE'RE SPENDING A LOT OF EFFORT AND THEN WE HAVE SOME ONGOING INCREASED STRESS IN THE FALLING FIELD AREA WITH ROADWAYS. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT IMPLEMENTING SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT THAT MIGHT BE COMBINATIONS OF TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES, IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR CROSSWALKS, INCREASING VISIBILITY AND DOING WHAT WE CAN TO SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN THAT CONGESTED AREA AS YOU AS YOU ARE AWARE, ISLAND WRECK IS ONE OF ONE OF THE AGENCIES AND SUBMITS AN ANNUAL AN ANNUAL LIST OF BUDGET ITEMS I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH IN DETAIL I DON'T WANT TO SKIP ANYTHING ON THIS BUSY SHEET RIGHT HERE SO THE CLICKY CIRCLE PART

[02:05:10]

SO ONCE THE PEAK SEASON IS DONE WILL IMPLEMENT THAT PROJECT THAT'S OUR PLANNED CROSSINGS PARK WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO ADVANCE WHAT WE CAN ON TWO OF THE THREE PHASES WE'VE BROKEN CROSSINGS PARK OUT INTO PROJECT NUMBER ONE. PRIORITY NUMBER ONE IS TO GET SOME TOOK OVER CONSTRUCTED ON THERE SO THAT'S PHASE ONE. WE'RE ALSO MOVING FORWARD WITH PHASE TWO WHICH IS RENOVATIONS TO THE BRISTOL SPORTS ARENA AND THE SKATE PARK AND THEN ADDING A PUMP TRACK AND THEN FUTURE I SHOULD SAY BASEBALL COMPLEX ON THESE BASE PLAYING SOCCER BUT FOR PHASE THREE THE MIDDLE AND TRACK PHASE ONE WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH OUR CONSULTANTS ON SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR IMPROVEMENTS THERE TO SET THE TABLE FOR THE REST OF THE VENUES. THE MASTER PLAN CALLS FOR AND THERE'S MASSIVE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM KIND OF CONNECTING OF THOSE LAGOONS TOGETHER, IMPROVING THE THE FLOW WATER THROUGH THE TRACK AND FOCUSING ON IMPROVING WATER QUALITY THAT IS ALL THE STORMWATER THAT GETS INTO THAT IN THAT ISLAND FROM THE CENTRAL PART OF THE ISLAND GOES OUT INTO THE ARTIFICIAL CREEK AND. THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO TREAT THAT WATER AND IMPROVE WATER QUALITY. SO THAT'S A BIG COMPONENT THAT CREATING SOME WETLANDS AS WELL AND THEN DIGGING OUT THE LANDSCAPING, MAKING IT LESS GOLF COURSE LIKE IN A LITTLE BIT MORE PARK PATTERSON AND TAYLOR HARRISON PARK AND TAYLOR FAMILY PARK ARE BOTH UNDER DESIGN AS A KIND OF A DESIGN BUILD PROJECT. WE EXPECT THOSE PROJECTS TO BE READY TO CONSTRUCT AT THE BEGINNING OF CALENDAR YEAR 2026 TO THE MIDDLE OF 2026 AND MOVING FORWARD FOR DESIGN ON IMPROVEMENTS AT OLD SCHOOLHOUSE PARK INCLUDING SOME NEW BATHROOMS AND NEW ADA COMPLIANT PATHWAYS AND SOME PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS.

SO ONE OR TWO THINGS STAND OUT HERE I CAN'T SPEAK IN GREAT DEPTH ABOUT IT EQUIPMENT AND STUFF LIKE THAT BUT I CAN TALK THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'RE PLANNING TO MAKE ON THE RECENTLY ACQUIRED FOR OFFICE WAY FACILITY WE DO SOME RENOVATIONS THERE.

WE'D LIKE TO GET THAT DONE BY THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR AND EARLY NEXT YEAR WITH SOME OF OUR STAFF IN THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LITTLE SOME STAFFING CONSTRAINTS SO MITCHELL FIELD, MITCHELL BILL, FREEDOM PARK WE HAVE WE HAVE A ROLE IN IMPROVING PARTS PARTS OF FREEDOM PARK WE'VE TEST OURSELVES WITH ADDING BETTER CIRCULATION AND PARKING PARKING FACILITIES AND SOME DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE AND WE'RE MOVING THAT FORWARD RIGHT NOW THROUGH A GUARANTEED USE PERMITTING PROCESS DUE TO ARCHEOLOGICAL AND HISTORIC IMPACTS IN ADDITION TO GETTING THE PERMIT FROM THE STATE FOR WATER QUALITY STORMWATER PROGRAMS, WE HAVE AN AWFUL LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE MOVING FORWARD THE STORMWATER PROGRAM LITTLE PROJECTS, MEDIUM SIZED PROJECTS AND BIG PROJECTS SOME OF THEM TAKING A LOT LONGER TO GET IMPLEMENTED THAN WE WOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED BECAUSE AGAIN PERMITTING MOONSHADOW ROAD THAT'S THE FOLLY FIELD RIGHT? WE'RE TRYING TO IMPROVE STORMWATER THERE.

WE'VE BEEN WAITING 15 MONTHS TO GET A RESPONSE ON A A THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO GIVE US THE ANSWER WHAT'S WETLANDS AND WHAT'S NOT WETLANDS? SO PRIORITIES IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THE WAY WHERE WE EXPERIENCE SOME WITH WITH A FIELD TEST OF OUR SYSTEM W LAST YEAR REALIZED THAT WE HAVE A DEFICIENCY WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT LOCATION.

ONE OF THE BIG ONES IS THE OVERHAUL OF OUR MAJOR PUMP STATION THERE THAT SITS BETWEEN WEXFORD AND LONG COVE THAT DRAINS THIS OTHER PART OF ISLAND.

WE'RE CONTINUING THE PROCESS OF A COMPLETE OVERHAUL IN AND CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS AND MORE EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS AT THE WEXFORD PUMP STATION. IT'S LISTED HERE AS DEBRIS SYSTEM DESIGN BUT IT'S MORE THAN THAT. IT'S A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THAT 2322 YEAR OLD FACILITY KEEPING VEHICLES UP TO SPEED IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT.

[02:10:01]

LET ME LET ME SAY WHAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING? THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING ALTHOUGH I WILL OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AFTER THERE ARE QUESTIONS AT THE COMMISSION . SO VICE CHAIR CAMPBELL DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION YOU NEED TO COLLECT WAS THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE PART? YES.

WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING ON DOING HERE? JUST WANT TO DOUBLE MY NOTES.

RICHARD, DO YOU HAVE ANY INPUT ON THAT? RICHARD LOUDEN IS OUR PROGRAM MANAGER. AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS JUST AS FAR AS THE PARKING GOES, WE'RE NOT GOING TO EXTENDED ANY BUT WE ARE GOING TO ADD ADA CONCRETE PARKING WALKWAY ALONG THE LENGTH OF IT AND TIE IT TO EXISTING PICKLEBALL COURTS OF THE YES I REALIZE THERE IS A PARKING ISSUE THERE CAR PARK EVERYWHERE BUT YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY SET UP FOR YOU KNOW JUST THE PARKING LOT THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP MR. JAMES OUT OVER THERE TOO? BECAUSE I KNOWS THAT THERE ARE CARS PARKED IN FRONT THAT MAILBOX, HIS MAILBOXES TIME I GO AROUND NOW. YEAH WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT WE CAN DO THAT. YEAH. OKAY.

WHAT'S YOUR COMMITTEE'S TOP PRIORITY THAT IS NOT A PRIORITY.

WHAT'S YOUR NEXT TOP PRIORITY AND IS THAT BELOW ALL OF THESE PRIORITIES? SO IF I HAVE 60 PRIORITIES AND YOU ASKED ME WHAT 61 WOULD BE. YES, THAT'S A TOUGH QUESTION AND IT'S THAT QUESTION A LOT OF A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS WE'D LIKE TO IMPLEMENT BUT WE HAVE WE HAVE ISSUES WITH BUDGET STAFF CAPACITY, CONTRACTED CAPACITY. WE DON'T WANT TO ONLY DO SO MANY THINGS AT THE SAME TIME WELL SO WE'RE FOCUSING ON DOING DOING MAYBE NOT QUITE AS MANY THINGS BUT DOING ALL OF THOSE THINGS WELL AND GETTING THEM DONE ON TIME WHICH IS THE PART THAT'S GOING ON IN WILD HORSE.

NO, YOU'RE NOT A SCORPIO. WHAT'S THE WHAT WAS THE QUESTION AGAIN? A LITTLE POCKET PARK THIS GUY'S GUAPO ROAD. ARE YOU ALL CHARGED THAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE GREEN SHOW OR THINGS NEXT TO THE OAK TREES YOU KNOW WHICH ONE THAT IS. NO AFTER. MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION SHORELINE YOUR ASSISTANT TOWN MANAGER. SO THE PROPERTY REFERRING TO IS THE THE STONE YOUR PROPERTY IT'S ACTUALLY NOT A PARK IT'S JUST AN IMPROVEMENT AREA AREA OF A PROPERTY THAT THE TOWN OWNS THAT WE'RE MAKING SOME SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON THE BE A SMALL TRAIL THAT COMES OFF OF THE MAIN THE MAIN MULTI-USE PATH THEY'LL TAKE YOU BACK UNDER THOSE TWO THOSE TWO LIVE OAKS THAT ARE THERE WITH A LITTLE SEATING AREA BACK IN THERE AND THEN LIGHTING UP ON TO THE LIVE OAK SO TO HELP ACCENT THOSE IN IN THE EVENING HOURS IS THERE ANY BATHROOM ANYTHING GOING TO BE THERE TO A PARK OR PARKING NO NO NO IT'S REALLY JUST KIND OF A PULL OFFER THOSE ON THE MULTI-USE TRAIL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S ALL FOR THOSE THAT ARE NEARBY. I'LL GO.

OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTION FOR THE COMMISSION AND PLEASE REPORTERS HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT SO I'VE BEEN DOWN AT GALENA IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THE PARKING CHANGES AND SEEING HOW THOSE LOTS ARE HELD IN HEAVY DEMAND, WHY IS THE ANSWER A LOT OF THING KICKED OUT FOR ANOTHER TWO OR THREE YEARS? WHY IS CLEARING OF THAT SITE AND THE PARKING THAT'S BEEN PROMISED NOT IN THIS YEAR AND I WAS DOWN FOR THAT SO GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN ENCHILADAS IS ACTUALLY OF THIS YEAR'S BUDGET WE JUST RECEIVED BIDS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THAT BUILDING AND THEN WE WILL MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PARKING LOT TO GET THAT INTO INTO USE THIS THIS SEASON AND THEN IN A FURTHER OUT IT'S ACTUALLY A PRIORITY IN 27 I BELIEVE WE'LL MAKE PERMANENT PERMITS IN THAT AREA BUT PARKING PART WE'LL GET IT IN SERVICE THIS YEAR WHICH IS SO AFTER THE BUILDING IS DEMOLISHED AND MOVING FORWARD.

[02:15:03]

SEEING NONE BACK TO THE COMMISSION I MY MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE FROM PAST EXPERIENCE IF YOU LOOK AT THESE THEY'RE RIGHT NEXT TO THE COLUMN FOR STATUS IT'S STAFF PRIORITY THEN IT'S GOT PLANNING COMMISSION PRIORITY THAT WAS GOTTEN COMMISSION MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT WE SAY THAT WE'RE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE STAFF PRIORITIES EXCEPT WE WERE NOT THEN TO POINT OUT TO WHERE WE'RE NOT OTHERWISE IT'S A LABORIOUS TASK AND WE USUALLY END UP AT THE SAME PLACE ANYWAY SO WE OKAY WITH THAT OKAY. YEAH.

SO GIVEN THAT ARE THERE ANY AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN THAT OUR STAFF PRIORITIES THAT WE WOULDN'T AGREE WITH ON THIS CHART. OKAY THEN IS THERE SOMEBODY WILLING TO MOVE SOMETHING I MOVE THAT WE AGREE WITH THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THE PRIORITY ITEMS OKAY SO THAT WOULD BE AGREEING WITH THAT COURT AS YOU SECONDING OKAY.

OKAY. AND THAT IS THE KIND OF ATTITUDE I SEE OUT THERE IN COMMUNITY PARK ANYWHERE. OKAY, THERE'S A SIGN UP THERE AND SAYS NO PARKING ON THE GRASS. BUT I WAS ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO AT A TOURNAMENT OUT THERE WERE ANOTHER 30 CARS ON THE GRASS. OKAY.

AND IT'S BECOMING A PROBLEM WITH ME. OKAY.

I'M STILL SUFFERING FROM PTSD AND I MOVED SO I CAN HAVE A COMFORTABLE QUIET PLACE TO LIVE AND THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. OKAY. I SPENT TWO AND A HALF YEARS ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND IT WAS TWO YEARS MAX BUT I FULFILLED OTHER GUY'S SPOT.

OKAY? AND AT THAT TIME THE THINGS WE WERE LOOKING FOR AND TO CORRECT IS TO PROVE IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE. OKAY.

NOT JUST THE ONES YOU KNOW BEHIND THE PLANTATION GATES, OUR OWN HOUSE IN FACT EASY TO LIVE IN I READ OKAY BUT IT'S BECOMING UNBEARABLE. I CAN'T REST THERE.

OKAY, THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT THANK YOU SO FOR YOUR COMMENTS I THINK I HEARD STAFF SAYING THEY WERE WORKING ON ADDRESSING SOME OF YOUR CONCERNS SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION OKAY. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT FACT THAT WHAT DO YOU COME UP WITH TO ME THE TRAIN OR PLACE ON THAT SPOT IS GOING CAUSE MORE PEOPLE TO COME THERE AND I'M NOT SURE OF THE PARKS AND REC AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING WHAT THE SCHEDULING IS.

I'M BELIEVABLE BECAUSE EVERY TIME THERE'S A CHANGE BECAUSE PEOPLE ON THE GRASS BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY PARK SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO WITH US ON THAT TOPIC? OKAY. WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING BRING IT BACK UP HERE FOR DISCUSSION. THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE PLAN TO SEND IT ON SO DO WE HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT OR ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL? SO WHILE THIS LOOKS TECHNICALLY COMPLIANT WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO BE DONE GIVEN WHAT WE HEARD FROM I JUST LOOKED AT THE MAPS THIS GENTLEMAN'S HOUSE IS LIKE A RESPECT TO THE PICKLEBALL COURTS IS THERE URGENCY IN THIS BEFORE WE SPEND RESOURCES ON THIS TO CORRECT THE SITUATION HE HAS IN TERMS OF LIVABILITY IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT A PRIORITY? I MEAN BEFORE WE DO WHATEVER HAS TO BE DONE FOR HAITI. THANKS SHAWN COLLINS AS THE TOWN MANAGER I DIDN'T SEE MR. LONGER BACK THERE. I WILL LET HIM JUMP IN THERE. SO I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE PROPERTY WHERE THE PARK EXISTS TODAY USED TO BE TENNIS COURTS.

BASKETBALL COURT WAS OWNED JOINTLY BETWEEN THE TOWN AND THE COUNTY IT'S BEEN A PARK FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. THE TOWN ACQUIRED FULL CONTROL OF THAT A FEW YEARS AGO IN A LAND EXCHANGE FOR A COUNTY AND AT THAT TIME RESERVE THE TENNIS COURTS TO ALLOW PICKLEBALL PLAY THERE. WE'VE ALSO MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BASKETBALL COURT SINCE WE ACQUIRED FULL OWNERSHIP OF THAT AND SO PROJECT REVIEW WE MADE THOSE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WAS PROCESS THERE'S A PROVISION IN THE STATE CODE JUST ASKING YOU TO RECOMMEND PRIORITY LIST FOR SCOPE PROJECTS WHERE FOR PUBLIC PROJECTS IF YOU'RE ADDING A NEW FACILITY IF YOU'RE BUILDING A

[02:30:05]

WE'RE NOT EXPANDING PICKLEBALL, WE'RE NOT EXPANDING OTHER USES THERE.

AND SO I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A COMPATIBILITY WE'RE JUST SAYING IT'S FENWAY PARK FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS LIKE TO MAKE SOME ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT GO BEYOND THE ADDITIONAL STRUCTURE WHICH REQUIRES AND TRIGGERS THIS PUBLIC PROJECT REVIEW.

WHEN WE WANT YOUR CONSIDERATION TO SAY THAT IT IS CONSISTENT OUR THAT OUR PUBLIC FACILITIES AND THE THE CONSISTENT SAY OF OF WHAT WE DELIVER FROM A LOCATION THINGS THAT ARE CONSISTENT ON THE PLANS. SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR HERE.

BUT AS FAR AS PRIORITY, I THINK THE USE OF THE FACILITY IS NOT GOING TO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD BECOME AND IF PICKLEBALL BECOMES DIFFERENT. BUT AS TENNIS STARTED WANE A LITTLE BIT PICKLEBALL PICKED UP AND NOW THAT'S AGAIN THE PRIMARY USE OF THAT OF THIS FACILITY IN PARTICULAR. BUT I THINK WE OWE IT THE OUR CITIZENS AND THE FOLKS THAT USE THIS PART TO IMPROVE THE ADA ACCESSIBILITY AND TO WITH RESTROOMS SO THAT THEY'VE GOT A PLACE THERE FOR WATER AND AND AND REFUGE AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE IN MY OPINION AND THEN THE REPORT FROM STAFF FIND IT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE LANDFILL REASONS THANK YOU AND I UNDERSTAND IS OUR ROLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT IS WITHIN THE ALAMO STANDARDS AND THAT WAS NOTWITHSTANDING MR. JAMES'S CONCERNS.

YES SIR YES AND LET ME ADD THAT THE FAMILY THAT LIVED THERE BEFORE WITH THE WHITE FAMILY LEFT THAT PROPERTY TO THE TOWN ,GAVE IT TO THEM FOR A CHILDREN'S PARK.

AND THE LANGUAGE I HEAR OUT THERE IS CONDUCIVE TO THAT. OKAY.

I NEVER SEEN A POLICEMAN OVER THERE. NOT ONE TIME IN THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS I SEE THAT THE GUYS WORK TO THE PARKS AND REC THING CRUISING AROUND THE TOWN BUT THERE'S NOBODY THAT APPEARS TO BE IN CONTROL. OKAY.

AND THAT'S MY MAIN CONCERN WHEN START PILING CARS IN IN JUST HEY COME ON, COME ON MOM.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. CHAOS YOU SIR. THANK YOU.

SO AGAIN, OUR OUR ROLE IS TO DETERMINE OR NOT WE ARE CONVINCED THAT IT MEETS THE STANDARDS OF THE ALAMO. I'M CONVINCED IT DOES, BUT I'M AS WELL THAT MR. JAMES HAS SOME LEGITIMATE ISSUES. COMMISSIONER CORTEZ SAW THE IMPROVEMENT FOR ADA ACCESSIBILITY AS A FEDERAL MANDATE A FEDERAL CODE WITH ONEROUS PROVISIONS IF YOU DON'T COMPLY. I DON'T THINK THERE'S AN OPTION THERE.

I THINK THE TOWN HAS RECOGNIZED A NEED FOR ACCESSIBILITY ON THIS SITE.

TO NOT DO THAT PUTS US IN DANGER OF NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE FEDERAL LAW WHICH HAS SOME SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS ONCE YOU SAY WE NEED TO PUT ACCESSIBLE PARKING IN THERE, IT NEEDS HAPPEN. I MEAN AM I WRONG? NO, SIR.

ALTHOUGH I THINK THAT TO AN EXTENT WE'VE GOT TWO SEPARATE ISSUES HERE.

YOU'VE GOT THE NEED FOR THIS THEN YOU HAVE MR. JAMES'S COMPLAINTS WHICH I'M NOT DISCOUNTING AT ALL BUT THAT'S IN MY VIEW THAT'S A THAT'S AN ENFORCEMENT THING THAT THE TOWN NEEDS TO TAKE UP TO. YOU KNOW, FOR ALL THE BEHAVIOR THAT IS IMPACTING THE NEIGHBORS . BUT WE DO CONTINUE DISCUSSIONS AND SO AGAIN, I'M PRETTY SURE OUR ROLE IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ALAMO.

I THINK WE HEAR LOUD AND CLEAR THAT THERE ARE SOME ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AS FAR AS MR. IS CONCERNED. BUT I'M GETTING SOME INDICATION FROM THE BACK OF THE ROOM

[02:35:04]

SO WITH THAT IN MIND, IS THERE ANYBODY WILLING TO MOVE THIS FORWARD OR WILL YOU BE MOVED TO APPROVE A COMMISSIONER DUBOIS SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HANS AND ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THAT THEN PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. OKAY I THANK YOU THIS NOW THIS WOULD BE A TIME FOR PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ITEMS THAT DID NOT APPEAR ON TODAY'S AGENDA.

IS THERE HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH US ON SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE NOT ALREADY COVERED THE AGENDA? CASEY NO, THERE'S THERE'S NO COMMISSION BUSINESS OR CHAIRS
