>> NOW YOU'LL WANT TO WORK NOT JUST FOR THE THIRD TWO O'CLOCK. SO LET'S GO ABRING THE MEETING

[1. CALL TO ORDER – 2:00 p.m.]

[00:00:13]

DO IT. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, I THINK THAT THE AMENDED BY MOVING THE NEW BUSINESS DISCUSSION TO AFTER NUMBER THREE PUBLIC COMMENT NAMES I'M HAVING A REAL HARD TIME HERE. IF YOU COULD GET A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE.

BUT WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO IS THE NEW BUSINESS BOARD AHEAD OF REPORTS JUST IN CASE SOME OF THE PRESENTATION OLDER BUSINESS DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO SIT THROUGH OUR REGULAR BUSINESS.

>> HOW DOES THE REST OF THE I'M NOT HERE TO COMMENT SOMETHING ABOUT THIS A CHECK.

I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT. IT WOULD SEEM I LIKE MAKE A MOTION I GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT MOTION THEN OKATIE WHO'S SPEAKING GYM CLASS.

>> OKAY. SO THE MOTION TO MOVE BUSINESS AHEAD OF REPORTS IT'S A SECOND WE SECOND THAT I'M NOT HERE A BODY IF I'M GETTING A SECOND SWEETIE GAME DURING THE SCREEN

TWICE. >> FOR SOME REASON JAMES PORTER UNLESS SOMEBODY HEARD SOMETHING I DID. I DIDN'T HEAR A SECOND THERE. BUT JAMES FATHER BROUGHT IT IN . I MADE THE MOTION. DID HE GO IT AND SECOND IT? SURE. IF HE WANTS I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT YOU WOULD, JAMES.

CAN YOU HEAR US? YES. I HEARD.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO SECOND THAT MOTION? NO.

ALL IN FAVOR. PUT YOUR HANDS UP SO WE CAN SEE YOU AND WE'D GET.

>> WE'VE BARELY GOT A QUORUM. THE BAY JENNIFER, YOU TAKE IT. KEEPING TRACK OF WHO'S VOTING FOR WHAT? YES, I AM. SO HOW MANY HOW MANY HOURS THAT WE GET? I I I JUST PULL OUT SO IT SHOULD BE A COURT, RIGHT? OK. YES. ONE CASE REMEMBER TO ANY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING AND HAVE IT ON WE ARE NOT TALKING. OK, LET'S DO THAT.

EVERYBODY WHO'S CAN TALK CAN PUT IT ON ME AND THEN WHERE YOU SPEAK TURN THE MICROPHONE ON AND THE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, JENNIFER, BUT I HAVE TO SCROLL ACROSS TO SEE EVERYBODY SO IT'S

VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO COUNT THE NUMBER HANDS GO UP. >> I CAN SEE EVERYONE ON MY SCREEN SO I'M SURE THAT WE'LL KEEP WE'LL KEEP DOING THAT NOW. SO THAT MOTION PASSES AND WE'LL CHANGE GENDER TO THE WAY THAT WHICH VIRTUAL THE BEDROOM UP. THE NEXT THING IS THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES. JULY TWENTY, TWENTY TWENTY. AND AGAIN, EVERYBODY SHOULD GET A COPY MINUTES FROM THE WEBSITE FOR KIND OF WEBSITE. THERE ARE A BUNCH OF NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE MINUTES. REMEMBER THAT YOUR MICROPHONE IS ALL YOU HAVE TO TURN IT BACK ON SPEAKS. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES AS SUBMITTED.

DO I HAVE A SECOND SECOND CLASS? >> OK.

[00:05:06]

FIVE OR 4 BECAUSE MR. FARBER IS ON TWICE OR FOUR. >> YES.

>> OK WELL THE MOTION PASSES THREE MINUTES FROM JULY. THEY ARE APPROVED.

WITH US TODAY OVER ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? >> NO PUBLIC COMMENT.

OKAY. WELL, I GUESS THE FIRST THING WOULD BE THAT IN MANY LIVE BUSINESS ON FROM WHERE IT WAS AND I WILL START WITH THE BIG LUMP BUT PRESENTATION BUT

[6A. Malind Bluff Presentation – Tanner Powell]

[00:10:05]

I'LL HAVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT COME UP AT THE.

BOTH MYSELF AND KEY HERRERA WERE PART OF THE STAFF YOUR TEAM YOU WERE COUNTY THAT MAKES DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS WITH OUR PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STRONG WATER DEPARTMENT, NATURAL RESOURCES, THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS WAY IN. NORMALLY IT'S A TWO STEP PROCESS WHERE THE COUNTY OFFICIALS WILL WEIGH IN AND GIVE THEIR COMMENT TO PROJECTS BEING DEVELOPED IN THE COUNTY. MAKE SURE THEY'RE MEETING ALL OF OUR STANDARDS IN REGARDS TO WHAT'S BEEN SET FORTH IN THE AUDIENCES IN DEVELOPMENT. IF WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE NEXT YES YOU CAN LET ME KNOW WHEN TO CHANGE THE SCREEN. THANK YOU.

WELL, SO AS I SAID, IT IS A CONCEPTUAL AND FINAL PROCESS NORMALLY OUTCOME WILL COME IN PRESENT THERE. THEIR PROJECT CONCEPTUALLY IN MAINLAND BLUFFS NO DIFFERENT.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PROJECT FROM A CONCEPTUAL POINT OF VIEW WHEN LOOKING MOSTLY THEIR CONSTRUCTION BEING PEACEFUL WE LOOKING AT SEDIMENT EROSION CONTROL, MAKING SURE THERE'S SILT FENCING DURING CONSTRUCTION WILL GOOD LOOKING FOR CONCRETE WASH UP STATION A ADEQUATELY LENGTH CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE IN LAKE PROTECTION AND ALL THE STANDARD THINGS YOU'D SEE DURING CONSTRUCTION. MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO SEDIMENTATION LEAVING THE SITE AND AFFECTING OTHER PROPERTIES AT THE FINAL REVIEW. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THEIR PERMANENT EMPLOYEES. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO MEET ALL OF OUR REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF CALCULATIONS, WATER QUALITY AND TREATMENT. WHAT HAVE YOU ALONG WITH THAT WE'RE GONNA WANT SEE THERE THE ENTIRE SEA SWAMP SOIL TYPES, FLOODPLAINS WHERE THE WATER TABLE SETS THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR PROJECT CAN BE QUALIFYING IN COURT.

WE'RE DEALING WITH OUR REQUIREMENTS AND IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT PAGE.

SO AS I WENT THROUGH HERE'S IN A MORE COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR DURING CONCEPTUAL REVIEW OVER PROJECT SILT FENCING CONCRETE SHORE AREAS AND PROTECTION DUST CONTROLLER SWEEPING ESPECIALLY IT'S ON A BUSY ROAD AND MAKE SURE THAT NO CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES ARE BRINGING DIRT OUT ONTO A HIGHLY USED ROAD ESPECIALLY DAPPLED MAINLAND BLUFF. IT'S ALL 170 AND WE DON'T WANT THEM TRACKING A TON OF DIRT ONTO A VERY HEAVILY USED THOROUGHFARE TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT SEATING FOR BANK STABILIZATION WHENEVER THEY'RE DIGGING YOU GONZALO. SO WE DON'T WANT THOSE SLOPES JUST TO ERODE AND FILL IN THE SYSTEM. WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD TRACTION ENTRANCE OBVIOUSLY. KEEP THE ROADS CLEAN AGAIN. WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR BNP AS THEY'RE LAYING OUT WHATEVER SORT OF SWALES OR ATTENTION ANY SORT OF PERMANENT THING. WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY LOOK REASONABLE.

WE'VE HAD PROJECT BEFORE WHERE THEY SHOWED US THEIR BNP BUT THEY WERE CLEARLY UNDERSIZED FOR WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO. SO WE TAKE THEM AND TELL THEM AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT AGAIN BEFORE THEY GET TO THE FINAL PROCESS TO REWORK THE ENTIRE SITE. I DON'T WE'LL GET A BNP MAINS AGREEMENT.

KATIE IS VERY, VERY WELL VERSED IN THIS AND SHE'S SHE'S GREAT AT MAKING SURE THAT THE LANGUAGE RIGHT THERE SUBMITTING THE RIGHT FORM. THIS IS ACTUALLY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO MAINTAINING THEIR BNP IS THAT THEY ACTUALLY WILL CONTINUOUSLY LEFT THE PROJECT. WE ARE ON PATROL AND WATER QUALITY STANDARDS.

JENNIFER, FINAL REVIEW. THIS IS GOING TO BE A MUCH MORE IN-DEPTH REVIEW AS COMPARED TO A CONCEPTUAL VIEW WHICH IS ALREADY FAIRLY IN-DEPTH. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A VERY, VERY CLOSE LOOK AT THE PERMANENCY AND EASE SO WE'RE MAKING SURE WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR WATER QUALITY AND WATER QUANTITY ADDRESSED AND SUBMIT A VERY THICK C SWIFT PACKET DRESSING HOW TO MAINTAIN EVERYTHING ALL THEIR DIFFERENT HYDROLOGY REPORTS ROUTING, ROUTING MAPS, MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, TRAINING MAPS AND THEN THEIR ENGINEER REPORTS WHERE HAVE ALL THE HYDROLOGY FROM A TWO AND TWENTY FIVE 50 YEAR HUNDRED A YEAR IN NINETY FIFTH PERCENTILES. NORM AND THAT'S A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN NORMALLY WHAT DEAC REQUIRES. BUT WE EAT WE HAVE A VERY LARGE SCOPE OF WHAT MUST BE TREATED AND CONTAINED ONSITE SO THAT NO PROJECT'S GOING TO BE AFFECTING ANYTHING ELSE IN THE COUNTY.

AND THE BIGGEST THING IS WE HAVE TO SEE THAT THERE POST DEVELOPMENT RUNOFF IT'S GONNA BE EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN WHAT WAS RUNNING OFF THE SITE BEFORE DEVELOPMENT.

JENNIFER SO HERE IS A SANITY MAP. I THINK SOME OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH IT. YOU CAN SEE JUST AS FEW POINTS REFERENCE C OKATIE ELEMENTARY OLDFIELD ACROSS THE RIVER FROM BERKELEY HALL AND I'M C OKATIE RIVER WE WE TAKE A VERY CLOSE LOOK AT PROJECT ESPECIALLY ONES LIKE THIS THAT MIGHT BE NEAR OR LEADING TO A TEAM DL OR THREE OR THREE. WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY SORT

[00:15:04]

MYSELF AND KATIE TOOK A SITE VISIT ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO JUST TO SEE HOW EVERYTHING WAS LOOKING BAD, ALL THEIR CONSTRUCTION BEING PUT IN PLACE ALL THE PROPER SEDIMENTATION CONTROL THE SITE. WHAT YOU SEE IS ACTUALLY WHAT HAS BEEN CLEARED SO FAR FOR BUILDING. I BELIEVE THEY'LL HAVE TO COME BACK LATER AND MAKE SURE THEY WILL HAVE THE PERMIT OUT THE REMAINDER OF THE SPACE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION.

JENNIFER. >> SO IN SPECIFIC DISCUSSION FOR THIS PROJECT WHAT THEY'RE UTILIZING TO TREAT TREAT THEIR WATER QUALITY SO DURING THEIR CONSTRUCTION PHASE THEY'RE CURRENTLY USING SILT FENCING. THEY HAVE A CONCRETE WASH OUT THE AREA THAT WE'VE SEEN IT'S ACTIVELY WORKING. THEY HAVE LOTS OF DATA PROTECTION MAKING SURE THAT THE NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEM THEY'VE PUT IN WON'T GET CLOGGED UP AND THAT NO OTHER SEDIMENT WILL LEAD TO OTHER AREAS. THEY HAD SEDIMENT TUBES HELP TRAP MORE SEDIMENT THAT MIGHT RUN OFF. THEY'VE BEEN ACTIVELY SWEEPING THE AREA, MAKE SURE THERE'S NO MEASURES THAT ARE LEAVING THE SITE. THEY'VE SEEDED ALL THEIR BANKS AND MADE SURE THAT THEY'RE STABILIZED NOT GOING COLLAPSE CAUSE ANY OTHER ISSUES THERE AND THEY'VE INSTALLED A CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE LEADING TO 170 FOR THE CURRENT PROJECT FOR THIS PHASE THAT THEY'RE PLANNING RIGHT NOW THEY'RE GOING BE DOING 3 7 SEPARATE WET

DETENTION PONDS. >> THESE WILL TREAT ALL OF OUR REQUIRED POLLUTANTS.

SO THEY'LL ALSO SEDIMENTATION NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS AND FECAL CALL FROM BACTERIA.

IT'S ALL GONNA COMPLY WITH OUR ILLNESS FOR PERMIT MAKE SURE WITHIN OUR STANDARDS WE ALSO HAVE A 30 FOOT VEGETATIVE BUFFER AROUND THE PARAMETERS OF THE PROPERTY STATE STAND OFF THE OTHER PROPERTY AROUND THEM A 60 FOOT RIVER BUFFER MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE RUNOFF.

DISCONNECT FROM THE SITE ENOUGH SPACE NOT JUST FOR NOT JUST FOR VIEW REASONS BUT IT'S GONNA GIVE SOME NICE DISCONNECT TO RUNOFF AREA FOR THE STORMWATER TO JENNIFER.

SO THAT'S THAT IS THE PROJECT IN A NUTSHELL. THAT'S HOW WE'VE SEEN IT SO FAR. NOT SURPRISE ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK THEM TO ME NOW ANSWER THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY OKATIE IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS WHATSOEVER EITHER FEEL FREE TO CHIME. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. WELL ONE QUESTION IS WHEN ONE OR DEVELOP LIKE THIS IS BEING PUT IN PLACE OR PART OF THE RIVER OR OKATIE IMPAIRED AND THAT PART OF THE OKATIE ALL THE WAY UP THE CAMPSITE MATERIALS IS IMPAIRED ALREADY. WE REQUIRE THESE DEVELOPMENTS DURING SPECIAL THE MAKE DOGGONE SURE THAT THEY AREN'T GONNA DO ANY CLAIM TO TO MAKE THAT IMPAIRMENT WORSE THAN WHAT IT ALREADY IS. SO WE FOLLOW ALL THE REQUIREMENTS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO AFFECT AN ALREADY IMPAIRED WATER BODY AND OUR REQUIREMENTS ARE MORE STRINGENT THAN WHAT DEAC REQUIRES FOR OUR COASTAL ZONE.

MOST, MOST OR MOST AREAS AROUND HERE ARE ESPECIALLY INLAND. THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO TREAT AS MUCH WATER AS WE REQUIRE OUR DEVELOPERS TO TREAT IN THE COUNTY SO WE MAKE AN EXTRA STEP TO MAKE SURE OUR PROCESSES ARE MADE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT GONNA AFFECT THE MOST IMPAIRED WATER BODIES IN THE COUNTY. SO IF SOMEONE IS DEVELOPING SOMEWHERE ELSE AND COUNTING THAT WOULD NATURALLY BE NEXT TO WATER BODY. WE KNOW IT'S NOT GONNA AFFECT THAT. WE WE WE SET OUR STANDARDS SO THAT IT'S BASED OFF THE MOST IMPAIRED WATER BODIES AND EVERYONE ELSE WORKS OFF OF THOSE.

COUPLE OTHER QUESTIONS. THE STORMWATER DETERGENT PONDS ARE THEY GONNA BE AESTHETIC REASONS WHETHER IT'S A FULL TIME THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE CANADA PENSION POND THAT BASICALLY GOES LOW AND THEN WHAT WE GET RAIN IT BUILDS BACK UP THESE YOU KNOW, WHICH TYPE ARE THERE BECAUSE THEN WE'LL REAL STORMWATER BUOYS. I'M TRYING MY BEST TO GET MORE OF THAT. CAN THAT BASICALLY GO GRAS RATHER THAN THEY SO FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN THEY'RE GOING TO CLASSIFY IT AS WET DETENTION. BARNES BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL FEET OF CAPACITY ABOVE WHERE THEIR WATER LINES WOULD BE SITTING AT. WE'VE CHECKED OUR HYDROLOGY REPORTS.

THEY'RE MORE THAN ADEQUATE. WE'LL TREAT FOR WATER QUALITY WATER VOLUME UP TO THE HUNDRED YEAR STORM. SO WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW IT SEEMED FOR EVERYTHING THEY PROVIDED TO US. YOU KNOW, IT'S A GOOD CONFERENCE, A PROJECT THAT SHOULDN'T IMPACT OUR RIVERS. I KNOW THIS WAS THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE WE TOOK A VERY CLOSE LOOK AT. JUST GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE PROJECT AND ITS PROXIMITY TO

[00:20:02]

>> SEE, I HAD PLANS HERE JUST DARED TO GO. OH YES.

VERY DOWN THESE PIPES ARE. I'M SORRY THESE PONDS ARE IN I GUESS THEY'RE ALL INTERCONNECTED. THERE IS ONLY GOING TO BE ONE ALCOHOL AND IT DOES NOT ALCOHOL DIRECTLY TO THE OKATIE. IT ALL FALLS INTO AN CURRENTLY EXISTING DRAINAGE DITCH WHICH

MOVED TO THOSE THREE. >> YES. SO ALL THE ALL THE PONDS ARE ANCILLARY AREAS SO THERE'S NOT MULTIPLE OUTFALL. SO YOU HAVE EVEN MORE OF A TREATMENT TREATMENT TIME FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE IT GETS TO THAT TO THE FINAL OUTLET.

JANET, FOR THE 60 FOOT BUFFER I DON'T KNOW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

IT LEADS TO A DITCH THAT'S ALREADY AT ABOUT THE 60 BUFFER MARK.

THERE'S EXISTING DITCH THERE. SO WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE BUILDING UP TO THE BUFFER AREA AND THEN OUTFALL INTO THAT DITCH. THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY EXACT BUFFER DISTURBANCE YOU CAN SEE THERE. SO THE NORTHERNMOST AND WESTERN MOST LAGOONS SHOWN IN THE OUTLINED AREA THEY'LL BE GETTING WATER FIRST.

TREATING IT AND THEN THOSE THOSE LAGOONS LEAD TO THE EASTERN LAGOON IN THE RED AREA.

SO THEY HAVEN'T SERIES SO THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TREATMENT TIME FOR IT LEADS OVER TO THE THE MARSHES. CUSTOMER BIG LAKE THESE LAGOONS BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION HAPPENS AND I DROVE THROUGH THE BAY AND I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING REMOTELY LIKE THE YOU KNOW, THEY GET TWO HOUSES BUILT UP AND THEN THEY GET WORDS AND THEY HAVEN'T PAID YET.

BUT I DIDN'T SAY IT NEVER LOOKED LIKE LIBERTY MINDED WERE I SOLD ONE OF THEIR LAGOONS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN DUG LAST WEEK. KATIE, I KNOW YOU CAN SPEAK MORE ON THE INSPECTION SIDE OF WHEN THEY START WITH TRUCKS AND SEQUENCE NORMALLY HOW THEY THEY DO IT NORMALLY BEFORE THEY PUT MOST OF THEIR IMPERVIOUS IMPERVIOUS AREA THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THEIR AIR PERMANENTLY. BNP IS IN PLACE TO START CATCHING OFF THAT RUNOFF. IN YOUR EXPERIENCE, KATIE, IS THAT WHAT YOU'VE SEEN?

YES, SIR. >> THEY DO HAVE AT LEAST TWO OF THESE PONDS ALREADY DUG AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE CONNECTED WITH SEDIMENT CONTROLS IN PLACE. MOST OF THE TIME THEY USE USES FOR WATERING AND THEN JUST OVERALL THEY'VE GOT ONCE THEY GET THE INFRASTRUCTURE CONNECTED IT HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE. SO YEAH, THERE ARE TWO PONDS IN PLACE. THERE ARE THOSE TWO TWO OR THREE SPEC HOUSES ALREADY ON THE PROPERTY. AND THEN MODE THE MAJORITY OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS PHASE I BELIEVE FROM OUR VISIT IS ALREADY IN PLACE AND PROTECTED THE MOTIVES AND WHAT

I WANT OUT OF THERE. >> GOOD NOLA COULD DO WAS GO ON THE WORDS OR AVAILABLE TO RIDE ON ANOTHER SINGLE THING. OBVIOUSLY ALL THE WEIRDOS. BUT I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S A MUCH BIGGER AREA THAN IT LOOKS. AND THERE WE WE DROVE THE WHOLE ROUTE.

THEY'VE ALREADY GOT KIND OF THE ROADS EVERYTHING'S SET UP. THEY'RE ALL STILL NOT PAVED BUT YET WE WERE ABLE TO GET ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY .

THERE'S ANYWHERE SEVEN QUESTIONS FOR THE SONG THAT I HAVE.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'M ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT THE BILL. I LIKE THIS ONE HOME PORT OF THE RIVER VICTORIAN PERIOD. OH, SO YOU KNOW THAT POSSIBLY THE RIVER.

I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT. CHAIRMAN, THAT THIS WAS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WE NEGOTIATE. IT WAS AN OLD DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SO YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE UPSET WHEN THIS DEVELOPMENT WENT FORWARD.

BUT WE TRIED TO DO THE BEST WITH WHAT WE HAD AND NEGOTIATIONS WITH THEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF ANNEXATION INTO THE TOWN OF HARDY VALE.

BUT THEY COOPERATED WITH US AND LET US GO THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE.

WELL, WE APPRECIATE WITH ALL THE THIS CAN BE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT. IT'S WELL WE APPRECIATE CAN ALREADY BILL TOO BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A BAD POSITION. WELL, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR

[00:25:07]

QUESTIONS? OK, WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE THAT THE STAFF WOULD KEEP A REAL CLOSE EYE ON THIS. THIS COULD BE A BIG DEAL FOR THE RIVER. THE NEXT THING WE HAVE IS A LOCAL SPECIAL PRESENTATION BY

[6B. SoLoCo Special Presentation – Bill Hodgins CWP]

AND SO A NUMBER OF THESE SLIDES ARE GOING TO BE FAMILIAR TO YOU EXCEPT THAT THAT BASICALLY WILL BE AT THE END SAYING OKAY, WELL WE COMPLETED THE PROJECT AND THIS WAS OUR TIMING SO I COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THE THE CENTER FOR WATERSHED PROTECTION WAS BROUGHT ON TO TWO TO DEVELOP THE REGIONAL STORMWATER ORDINANCE AND DESIGN MANUAL ON THIS.

THE ORIGIN OF THAT REALLY COMES IT GOES BACK TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WENT TO THE SOLO COVE COMMITTEE AND THEN THE COMMITTEE THEN ALSO THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS I THINK MADE RECOMMENDATIONS OF NEEDING A CONSISTENT AND EFFECTIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT APPROACH ACROSS THE ENTIRE LOW COUNTRY. AND I THINK THE SITUATION WITH MARILYN BLUFF IS INDICATIVE OF THAT AS WELL WHERE ONE DEVELOPER'S WERE PITTING SOMEWHAT ONE JURISDICTION AGAINST ANOTHER. SO THE RECOMMENDATION THEN CAME BACK FROM THE SOUTHERN LOW COUNTRY COMMITTEE TO TO PURSUE DOING A REGIONAL STORMWATER ORDINANCE AND THE DESIGN MANUAL NEXT SLIDE. AND SO BEAUFORT COUNTY WAS THE LEAD ON CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR

ON THIS. >> WE WENT THROUGH A COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS.

LET BY DIFFERENT COUNTY FOR COUNTY ALSO SET COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH JASPER COUNTY CITY OF BEAUFORT, THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON CITY LOUISVILLE AND TOWN OF PORT ROYAL.

NEXT SLIDE. THE PROJECT HAD FOUR MAJOR TASKS AND LET ME JUST BEFORE I

GET INTO THAT. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL.

HAVING COMPLETED THIS ORDINANCE AND DESIGN MANUAL IS THOSE JURISDICTIONS WITH THAT WHICH HAVE AN M.S. FOR PERMIT COMPLETION OF THESE TASKS THAT ARE HERE ARE COMPONENTS OF.

AND TO BE REPORTED ON IN AN M.S. FOR ANNUAL REPORTS IF THEY'RE COMPLETING MINIMUM THE MINIMUM MEASURES THAT ARE UNDER THAT MSA WORK PERMIT. SO SOME OF THESE THINGS IT PROVIDES A DUAL PURPOSE OBVIOUSLY BRINGING THE JURISDICTIONS TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF STANDARD AS WELL AS THAN ME MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THEIR M.S. FOR PERMIT.

SO THE BEFORE TASK AS WE REPORTED ON LAST YEAR DEVELOPING THE COMMON STORMWATER ORDINANCE DEVELOPING THEN A COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER DESIGN MANUAL REDUCE ACROSS ALL OF THE JURISDICTIONS. IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A STAKEHOLDER PROCESS AND GAIN INSIGHT FROM STAKEHOLDERS IN THAT IN THE REGION AND IN THEIR COMMENTS ON WHAT IS THEN PREPARED AS FAR AS THE ORDINANCE AND THE DESIGN MANUAL.

WE WENT THROUGH A A PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS AND THEN ULTIMATELY DELIVERY OF THE ORDINANCE AND THE DESIGN MANUAL FOR ADOPTION BY EACH JURISDICTIONS AS WELL AS THERE WAS A CALCULATION TOOL THAT WAS PROVIDED TO ADDRESS WATER QUALITY AND IMPROVE MAKING IMPROVEMENT AND WATER QUALITY THROUGH THESE DEVELOPMENT PLANS .

[00:30:01]

THE ADVERSE IMPACTS OF LAND DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT. >> SO WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT CLEARING PREVIOUSLY UNDEVELOPED AREAS BUT ALSO REDEVELOPMENT AND INFILL DEVELOPMENT. ALSO THE ORDINANCE IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID THAT'S NOT SHOWN HERE IS THAT ALSO WOULD ADDRESS THEN CORRECT TERM FOR IT? WELL IT WAS ITS REDEVELOPMENT BUT IT'S IT'S IF YOU IF YOU'D REBUILT A MAJORITY OF THE STRUCTURE MEANING SOME A STANDARD OF THAT COST, THEN ALSO STORMWATER NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED THAT THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT ANY KIND OF REBUILDING THEN CAN START TO MAKE UP FOR LOST GROUND IN THE PAST AS WELL AS THEN IT ESTABLISHES PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ORDINANCE. THE NEXT SLIDE OUR TASK TO WAS DEVELOP WELL OK.

YEAH. ALSO THE ORDINANCE DID ALLOW FOR SPECIAL WATERSHED PROTECTION AREAS. AND THAT INCLUDES SUCH THINGS AS A T MDL AREAS OR IF THERE ARE IF IF A FUTURE T MDL COMES THEN IT COULD ALLOW FOR EVEN MORE STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS IN THOSE SPECIAL WATERSHED PROTECTION AREAS. ALSO THE ORDINANCE ON ENSURES FUTURE INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF THE STORM WATER SYSTEMS AND THEN PROPER PROJECT CLOSE OUT AS WELL PLANS IN CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION AND INSPECTION MAINTENANCE.

NEXT SLIDE. >> TASK 2 WAS DEVELOPMENT STORMWATER DESIGN MANUAL.

>> OH THIS WAS A SIGNIFICANT EFFORT. THE MANUAL AS I MENTIONED A YEAR AGO IT IS SUBSTANTIAL AND IT IS IT'S I DON'T CALL IT A BEAST BUT IT IS VERY BIG AND READING IT COVER TO COVER IT IS PROBABLY NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE YOU CAN WORK THROUGH IT USING THE TABLE OF CONTENTS BE SPECIFIC TO THE THINGS THAT THAT YOU'RE AS A AS A DESIGNER AND A REALLY HEBER NEEDS TO ENSURE THAT OUR COMPLETED WITHIN PLANNING NEXT SLIDE AND AGAIN THIS IS INTENDED TO BE USED REGENT REGIONAL WHAT REGION WIDE IT INCORPORATES

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. >> AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY STRESSED IN THIS IN THE PROCESS OF CONCEPTUALIZING THE DEVELOPMENT TO BE INCORPORATING BETTER SITE DESIGN PRINCIPLES. AND THAT WILL INCLUDE THEN MINIMIZING IMPERVIOUS SURFACE MINIMIZING CLEARING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, ENSURING THAT NATURAL FEATURES ARE PROTECTED AS WELL AS THEN INCORPORATING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE INTO.

AND THESE THE STANDARDS THAT ARE PROPOSED AND IN THE DESIGN MANUAL ARE AT LEAST AS STRINGENT AS THE MSR WORK PERMIT. NEXT SLIDE WHERE THE UNIQUE THINGS THAT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO IS A REGION WIDE EFFORT IS TO LOOK AT WATERSHED AT THE WATERSHEDS AND SO THIS DESIGN MANUAL IS A WATERSHED BASED APPROACH NOT ALL WATERSHEDS ARE THE SAME. WE HAVE IN COASTAL WE HAVE A SALT MARSH WE HAVE THEN THE INTERCOASTAL WATERS AS WELL AS THAT WE HAVE UPLAND DRAINAGE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE AREA.

[00:35:03]

AND SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THE GREEN WATERSHEDS ARE THOSE THAT ARE COASTAL.

THEY HAVE SHELLFISH, THEY'RE SHELLFISH WATERS OR CONTRIBUTING TO SHELLFISH

WATERS. >> WE ALSO HAVE THEM IN THE SAVANNAH RIVER WATERSHED WHICH IS IN AMBER THE BROWN LIGHT BROWN WHICH IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE COASTAL WATERS OBVIOUSLY AND THEN THE GENERAL WATERSHED BOUNDARY THAT IS SHOWN IN ROSE COLOR UP IN JASPER COUNTY A LITTLE BIT OF JASPER OF BEFORE CURRENT NEXT SLIDE.

>> AND SO THE SHELLFISH STAYS DESIGNATED WATERS WE SEE HERE IN CROSS HATCHING COVERING PORT ROYAL BEAUFORT CITY BEFORE. IF A COUNTY BLOCK BLUFFTON AND DOWN INTO JASPER COUNTY AS WELL THEY HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEM THAN THE OTHER WATERS.

NEXT SLIDE. SO THAT WAS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF OF HOW THE NEAR WATERSHEDS ARE BROKEN OUT. THE STORMWATER DESIGN MANUAL THEN ESTABLISHES DESIGN STANDARDS TO BE PROTECTIVE OF EACH OF THE WATERSHEDS THEIR WATERSHED AREAS AND BUT EACH ALSO INCLUDE THE RUNOFF REDUCTION CRITERIA AND CREDITING SYSTEM RUNOFF REDUCTION IS IS BASED ON THE. I'M SORRY THE NRC S'S ENGINEERING DESIGN MANUAL TR FIFTY FIVE THIS IS WHERE THE COMMON DESIGNATIONS FOR THAT AND THE VARIOUS LAND SURFACES HAVE A DIFFERING CAPABILITIES TO TWO FOLD TO RETAIN OR CONVEY RUNOFF.

AND SO UTILIZING THE CRITERIA THAT ARE WITHIN THE NRC S GUIDE IT'S IT'S POSSIBLE TO THEN DETERMINE HOW MUCH WATER WILL BE KEPT ON A A D TYPE SOILS DEPENDING ON THE SURFACE MATERIALS. AND SO RUNOFF REDUCTION THEN WORKS WITHIN THAT FRAMEWORK TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF RUNOFF THAT WOULD OCCUR WITH THE DESIGN STORMS. ALSO THE MANUAL ESTABLISHES THAT H AND H CRITERIA ARE CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT STANDARD NOT MUCH DIFFERENT BETWEEN WHAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE.

HOWEVER IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES DIDN'T DID NOT HAVE IN PLACE WATER QUALITY CRITERIA OR DESIGN CRITERIA OR FOLLOW THROUGH ON H H CRITERIA TO THE EXTENT OF OTHER COMMUNITY. SO WE'RE ESTABLISHING A COMMON GUIDELINE COMMON REQUIREMENT ACROSS THE JURISDICTIONS. NEXT. THE STORMWATER DESIGN MANUAL THEN INCLUDES DESIGN TOOLS. WE HAVE CHAPTER 4 WHICH GOES THROUGH THE NUMBER OF THE BNP DESIGN DETAILS AS WELL AS THE CONSTRUCTION AND INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE BEING PIECE BY PIECE ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT OR PREVIOUSLY PUT IN TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA LCD MANUAL ON THE COASTAL GLIDING MANUAL ON THE CENTER WORK WITH MCCORMICK TAIL WELL WITH ONE OF THE ENGINEERS FROM THE CURRENT TAYLOR AS WELL AS THE MIRRORS AND SOUTH CAROLINA DO AN HOUR TO DEVELOP THE SOUTH CAROLINA LCD PANEL BACK ON TO 2014.

I THINK IT WAS OR WAS COMPLETED SO NO THE BEING PS WERE RECOVERED IN THAT MANUAL.

THIS THIS MANUAL EXPANDS ON THAT A BIT, GIVES A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILS AND OPS UPDATES SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND THE CREDITING THAT IS POSSIBLE WITH THOSE BEING PS THE COMPLIANCE CALCULATOR IS A SPREADSHEET TOOL. THAT IS TO BE USED BY THE DESIGNERS AS WELL AS THEN THE PERMIT REVIEWERS TO ENSURE THAT THE WATER QUALITY CRITERIA

[00:40:03]

THIS IS JUST A SAMPLE OF OVER A DESIGN SHEET FOR BOWER RETENTION.

>> THEN WE HAVE A DESIGN SHEET FOR ANOTHER 13 BMD. NEXT SLIDE.

>> SO TASK 3 WAS THE STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT RE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS WE WERE TAKING COMMENTS FROM ENGINEERS AS WELL AS THE JURISDICTIONS ON THE JURISDICTION COMMITTEE AS WELL AS INTERESTED PARTIES PROVIDED. QUESTIONS.

AND THEN WE DEVELOPED RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON THESE SURVEYS AND QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS THAT WE WOULD SEE OF THE COMMITTEE PROVIDE A REVIEW OF THE ORDINANCE AND MANUAL A NUMBER OF MEETINGS WE THROUGH THE END OF LAST YEAR OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER.

AND THEN FOLLOWING THEIR REVIEW WE PUBLISHED OF THE DRAFT OF THE DESIGN MANUAL THE ORDINANCE AND THAT WENT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. THE BEGINNING OF 2020 AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT THE TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD WE HAD THREE PUBLIC MEETINGS BETWEEN BEAUFORT COUNTY AND JASPER COUNTY AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY REVIEWED COMMENTS AND THEN EDITED THE DOCUMENTS WITH THE COMMITTEE. THE NEXT SLIDE AT AND THEN THAT FINAL DESIGN MANUAL AND ORDINANCE WERE DELIVERED THEN AT THE END OF MARCH MARCH 20

20. >> YES, IN THE MIDST OF COCOA CO COVERED AND AND THEN WE PROJECT THAT THE ORDINANCE AND DESIGN MANUAL WILL BE ADOPTED BY THE EACH OF THE JURISDICTIONS SOMETIME INTO 2021. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE SOLAR COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED AREA WIDE ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE DESIGN MANUAL IN THEIR JULY MEETING AND AWARE THAT IT IS MOVING FORWARD IN SOME OF THE JURISDICTIONS CURRENTLY.

NEXT SLIDE. AND SO THERE'LL BE SOME ADAPTATION OF THE ORDINANCE LANGUAGE FOR JURISDICTION TO FIT WITHIN THEIR CURRENT ORDINANCE STRUCTURES.

AND AS WE DEVELOP THE ORDINANCE DESIGN MANUAL WE USE THE TERM LOCAL JURISDICTION.

SO IT'S A MATTER SORTING THAT OUT AND INSERTING EACH OF THE JURISDICTIONS NAME IN THOSE DOCUMENTS GOING FORWARD. THIS IS A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT WAS A SIGNIFICANT EFFORT BUT ALSO IT'S A CHANGE THAT THE ENGINEERS ARE GOING NEED TO GET USED TO AS WELL AS THE PLAN REVIEW OR SAW STAFF AND IN ORDER TO ENSURE COMPLETE REVIEWS THEIR IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME AND IT'LL BE STUDIED AND IN TRAINING AND WORKING WITH IT WITH THE ENGINEER'S AND IT'S LIKELY THAT AS EACH OF THE JURISDICTIONS DEVELOP THIS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO UNDERSTAND AND MORE AND MORE WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE. DAY 365 IS GONNA BE DIFFERENT ON DAY ONE. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENS IN MY EXPERIENCE IN DOING PLAN REVIEW IS THAT ENGINEERS WILL SAY WELL YOU DIDN'T REQUIRE ME TO DO THIS BEFORE AND THROWING DOWN THAT KIND OF A CHAIN CHARGE. WELL, THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROCESS. AND THEN AND IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERS TO UNDERSTAND AND IMPLEMENT TOTALLY THE REQUIREMENTS.

BUT THERE'S SOME THERE'S A LOT IN THERE. IT'S IT'S A GOOD THROW MANUAL.

I THINK THAT OVERALL OUR OUR GOAL IS THAT IT'S GOING TO IMPROVE THE WATER QUALITY WITHIN THE SOUTHERN LOW COUNTRY. I THINK THEY'RE SAY THAT DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT LOOK THE SAME AS WHAT WE JUST SAW WITH MELON BLUFF OR OTHER AREAS AROUND THE COUNTY TO COUNTY AREA. BUT IT ALSO WILL GIVE THE TOOLS

[00:45:02]

OUR ARE OUR OWN ON THIS CALL THAT CAN MAY MAYBE HELP ME OUT AS WELL AND VAN WITLESS OUR ALL THROUGH THIS PROCESS TOGETHER. QUESTIONS I GUESS I HAVE A QUESTION OF YOUR.

THIS IS BASICALLY MORNING OF INJURIES VICTIMS AND TO THE COUNTY.

JURISDICTION TO MAKE SURE WE ALL HAVE SOME MORE SMALL WATER REQUIREMENTS, INTERCEPTS SO THE BENEFIT COUNT IS BASICALLY ALREADY DEVELOPED THIS MAINLY FOR THE OTHER JURISDICTIONS LIKE JASPER COUNTY AND LIKE ALL DOWN THE 278 CORRIDOR FROM SUN CITY UP TOWARD 95 MINUTES PER WELL. THE GOAL IS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BILL PROPERLY STORMWATER PURPOSES WELL IT IT IS TO YES TO IMPROVE ON WHAT'S COMING INTO THE AREA.

BUT ALSO I MENTIONED REDEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF LOCKS THAT AREAS OF BEAUFORT COUNTY, SOUTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY AS WELL AS THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON ARE UNDEVELOPED AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER, THEY'RE ABLE TO BE REVIEWED BASED ON THESE NEW NEW REQUIREMENTS ONCE THEY'RE IMPLEMENTED. SO IT WOULD BE COVERING BOTH BILLING AS WELL AS INFILL AND THEN REDEVELOPMENT. CITY OF BEAUFORT AS WELL AS AREAS IN BEAUFORT COUNTY AND OFTEN GIVING STANDARDS FOR READING REDEVELOPMENT.

>> THIS IS KIM. MAY I CHIME IN ON AN ANSWER TO THAT AS WELL PLEASE?

>> SO BILLY, WHEN YOU SAY THIS IS ESSENTIALLY BRINGING EVERYBODY INTO VIEW FOR COUNTY STANDARDS, I WOULD ACTUALLY SAY BUT NOT THE INTENT WHEN SO LOCAL FIRST ASKED ALL OF PARTICIPATING JURISDICTIONS TO COMPARE THEIR EXISTING STORMWATER STANDARDS.

THAT'S WHEN ALL THE STAFFS CAME BACK AND RECOMMENDED THAT INSTEAD WE ACTUALLY GO OUT AND SEEK A CONSULTING TEAM TO BRING THE STORMWATER STANDARDS FOR THE SOUTHERN LOW COUNTRY REGION UP TO THE CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE AND IN A UNIFORM WATERSHED BASED DIRECTION.

WE RECOGNIZED A NUMBER OF US HAD NOT TOUCHED ORDINANCE OR DESIGN STANDARDS AND A NUMBER OF YEARS IN TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING OF WATERSHED OPERATIONS HAS CERTAINLY INCREASE. SO THIS THESE ARE NEW STANDARDS FOR COUNTY AS MUCH AS THEY ARE FOR THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON AS MUCH AS THEY ARE FOR EVERY SINGLE PARTNERING JURISDICTION.

AND IT IS RATCHETING IT UP TO THAT CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE WITHIN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT.

>> EVERYBODY ELSE OVER THE COURSE IS THAT BECAUSE YOU REALLY APPRECIATE THE GOOD

THANK YOU FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOUR. >> THANK YOU.

[6C. SoLoCo Design Manual and Ordinance – Katie Herrera]

AND I JUST WANT TO ALSO SAY THANK YOU TO BILL FOR THAT PRESENTATION BECAUSE IT'S HOW THOROUGH HE WAS. I CAN MOVE A LOT QUICKER THROUGH YOUR MINE.

THEY'RE VERY SIMILAR IN NATURE. SO I JUST WANTED TO HAVE BILL SPEAK FIRST ABOUT HOW THIS PROCESS IS GONE FOR THE GROUP AND THEN BRING YOU UP TO SPEED WITH WHERE WE'RE AT.

FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY INC. SO NEXT SLIDE. >> AGAIN, A LOT OF THIS STUFF IS REPEAT INFORMATION FROM WHAT BILL JUST TALKED ABOUT. WE CREATE A TECHNICAL SUBCOMMITTEE MADE UP OF SIX ENTITIES PARTICIPATING THAT INCLUDES THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL CITY B FOR JASPER COUNTY CITY PARTIDO AS WELL AS THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON.

WE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH BILL AND KATIE ELLIS FROM MCCORMICK TAYLOR AND TOGETHER WE WORK TO DESIGN A UNIFORM DESIGN MANUAL AND STORMWATER ORDINANCE WITH ALL OF THE SUPPORTING APPENDICES LOOKING VERY SIMILAR AS WELL. NEXT SLIDE AND I KNOW BILL

DAY OF MARCH 2020. >> NEXT SLIDE AND THEN GO WHAT HAPPENED WHICH HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT TRYING TO IMPLEMENT THIS AND MAKE IT WORK FOR THE NEW NORMAL WERE IN JUST LIKE BILL MENTIONED THE JASPER COUNTY AND BEAUFORT COUNTY ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE WATERSHED PROTECTION AREAS AND THE MAJORITY OF ALL OF UNINCORPORATED FOR COUNTY DOES FALL WITHIN THE BACTERIA AND SHELLFISH WATERSHED PROTECTION AREAS. THERE'S JUST A SMALL PORTION NORTH OF 17 AND THEN GOING TOWARDS GMAC THAT FALLS UNDER THE GENERAL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ROLLS. BUT OTHER THAN THAT TO REITERATE WE'RE PRETTY MUCH UNDER THE THE STRICTEST OF THE WATERSHED PROTECTION AREA REQUIREMENTS.

NEXT SLIDE. SO OVERALL THE MANUAL IS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING WITH THE MEAN. THE DOCUMENT WAS DESIGNED SO THAT WE HAD CONSISTENCY WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITIES. BUT THERE IS ROOM TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS AS YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENT GROUPS SEE FIT. AND OVERALL WE WANT TO BE VERY SIMILAR BUT THERE ARE SOME AREAS OR TOWN OF BLUFFTON MAYBE A LITTLE DIFFERENT TOWN OF PORT ROYAL MAY BE DIFFERENT. NOT EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY FOR EACH MUNICIPALITY BUT I THINK OVERALL WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE WITH EVERYTHING. MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU KNOW THE WATER QUANTITY STANDARDS AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STORM EVENTS ARE THE SAME.

THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS AT LEAST AS IT'S WRITTEN NOW.

WE ARE STILL TAKING EARLY DISTURBANCE TO 5000 SQUARE FEET OR MORE.

I THINK THE CURRENT MEANING WAS IT'S WRITTEN WAS WAS GIVEN IN LATE MARCH.

THERE ARE LAND A CERTAIN SIZE IS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER AND THEN BMD FOR WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE BNP MANUAL.

>> NEXT SLIDE SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT I JUST WANTED I THOUGHT WERE IMPORTANT TO BRING UP OR ARE GONNA BE BETTER SITE DESIGN LIKE BILL MENTIONED GETTING THIS GETTING THE PLANE REVIEWERS AND THE ENGINEERING TEAMS USED TO THIS NEW IDEA AND INCLUDING YOU KNOW INTERNAL STAFF IS GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT OF A FEAT BUT WE'RE ALL PARTICIPATING AND WE'RE ALL AT

THE TABLE HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS. >> CURRENTLY WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS WE ARE TREATING FOR BACTERIA, NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION. SO LOCAL DESIGN APRIL WE'LL BE TREATING FOR BACTERIA AND NITROGEN AND TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS WHICH WILL CAPTURE MORE THAN JUST PHOSPHORUS ITSELF.

AND ONE THING BEFORE COUNTY IS DOING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS UPDATE IS ARE WHICH WERE UPDATING OUR ESCALATING ENFORCEMENT PLAN. SO WE JUST HAD A CELEBRITY VISIT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO TRYING TO GO IN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT BETTER SITE DESIGN. I'M SITTING DOWN AT THE TABLE WITH OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TEAM. WE REALIZE THAT IT'S GONNA BE A LOT MORE TO IMPLEMENT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. JANUARY FIRST THAN WE HAD THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

AND WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE CONSISTENCIES WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES BUT INCONSISTENCIES WITH OUR OWN DEPARTMENTS. SO WHAT WE'VE DECIDED TO DO FOR BETTER SITE DESIGN IS GIVE GAVE IT AS AN OPTION THIS FIRST YEAR .

[00:55:07]

LIKE BILL SAID, DAY ONE IS GOING TO LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT THAN DAVE.

SIXTY FIVE. SO OUR WHOLE FEELING WE'RE HOPING THAT JANUARY 1ST 20 TWENTY ONE BETTER SITE DESIGN WILL BECOME MANDATED AND WITH ALL OF OUR PERMANENT PROJECTS WITHIN UNINCORPORATED BEAUFORT COUNTY AND THEN WE DO STILL PLAN ON INCENTIVIZING THE USE OF BETTER SITE DESIGN FOR OUR PROPERTY OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS .

NEXT LINE. >> SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING GOSH ROUND THE CLOCK SINCE WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO OPERATE AND COPIED WITH MAKING DESIGN MANUAL ORDINANCE WORK FOR UNINCORPORATED B FOR COUNTY AND THEN SENDING IT THROUGH OUR INTERDEPARTMENTAL REVIEWS TO GIVE YOU ALL AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT CURRENTLY WE'VE COMPLETED OUR REVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS MOSQUITO CONTROL AND WE ARE WORKING GOSH AT LEAST PROBABLY ONCE EVERY TWO THREE DAYS WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WE'RE MANAGING AND INTEGRATING IS CONSISTENT AND ACCURATE AND THROW.

SO THAT COME JANUARY 20 21 WE'RE GOOD TO GO RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

WE DID ALSO SEND THIS DOCUMENT TO OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT AND BUILDING CODES TEAMS AND DO NOT HEAR BACK. BUT THEIR INPUT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN FAIRLY MINIMAL.

WE JUST WANTED TO BE TRANSPARENT WITH WHAT INFORMATION WE PLAN ON UPDATING

NEXT SLIDE. >> SO THIS IS JUST OUR IMPLEMENTING IMPLEMENTATION

TIMELINE. >> NOW THIS IS NOT PENDING ANYMORE STRANGENESS FROM THE CURRENT CLIMATE WITH OUR PANDEMIC OR THE CURRENT CLIMATE WITH HURRICANE SEASON KIND OF REALLY RAMPING UP HERE. SO LATE LAST MONTH WE DID HEAR BACK FROM ALL THOSE DEPARTMENTS AND WE'RE STILL CURRENTLY WORKING WITH LEGAL. TODAY WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU WHERE WE'RE AT WITH EVERYTHING OCTOBER 5TH WE DO PLAN ON SENDING A FINALIZED SO LOGO DOCUMENT AS WELL AS ORDINANCE TO THE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE FOR APPROVAL AND THEN KICKS OFF ALL OF OUR READINGS FOR COUNTY COUNCIL TO GET THIS APPROVED.

WE NEED THREE READINGS. OUR FINAL READING WE'RE ANTICIPATE TO BE MID-DECEMBER AND THEN FROM MAYOR WILL BEGIN IMPLEMENTATION ON JANUARY 1ST 2021 AND I BELIEVE THAT'S IT.

SO I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. KIRBY, I HAVE A QUESTION FARM

WORK LAUGHS. YOU MENTIONED INCENTIVES. >> ARE THEY PUBLISHED ANYWHERE? WHO IS GOING TO DECIDE ON INCENTIVIZING PORTION OF THIS THAT IS PUBLISHED ANYWHERE? IT WILL BE INTEGRATED INTO OUR CREDIT MANUAL AND THE WHO THAT'S DECIDED BY THE ENGINEERING PUBLIC WORKS TEAM. SO MYSELF AND WE'LL DECIDE WHOEVER COMES IN AS A STORMWATER MANAGER OUR BUSINESS MANAGER. CAROLYN, WE'LL BE WORKING WITH US ON THIS. GOOD, GOOD. VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU. >> WELL, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

COULD YOUR YOUR TIMELINE BOTH CLOSE MOTHER AND SON OF HAPPENED THE FIRST OF DECEMBER? SO THE FIRST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT DELAYED BY LIKE A YEAR AND WE GOING FROM NOTHING TO EVERYTHING. IF WE FOLLOW THIS TIMELINE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DONE ANY OF

THAT YET. >> WE ARE FOR THE CREDIT FOR THE INCENTIVE POSITION A BETTER

[01:00:01]

EXCUSE ME BUT EVERYTHING I THINK IS GONNA BE FAIRLY SIMILAR SIMPL INTO OUR CURRENT OPERATING PROCEDURE I DON'T FORESEE ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND THAT'S WHY WE WANTED TO GIVE OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT OF GRACE WITH FULLY IMPLEMENT BETTER SITE DESIGN BECAUSE DESIGN STORM EVENTS, WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS ALL THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. SO JUST THE LITTLE MINOR CHANGES WON'T BE GOING TO BE HARD TO IMPLEMENT AND CERTAINLY WE'LL BE WORKING VERY CLOSELY AS WE ALWAYS DO WITH OUR DESIGNERS AND DEVELOPERS IN THE AREA AND EVEN THOSE THAT COME FROM OUT OF STATE, YOU KNOW ABOUT WHEN WE WENT OUT FOR CONDOS, DID YOU GET COMMENTS ON OTHER DEVELOPERS AND ENGINEERS OF WORK FOR DEVELOPERS THAT HAVE BEEN STRICTLY COMMENTS BY MEMBERS TRIED TO CHANGE THIS A

LESS STRESSFUL FASHION? >> WILLIAM BELL I MIGHT NEED YOUR HELP A LITTLE LESS.

I DON'T THINK THAT ANYBODY CAME FROM THE SIDE OF WANTING THINGS TO BE EASIER FOR THEM SELVES.

I THINK THAT THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT MAYBE WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND AND MORE OF THE PRACTICALITY OF CERTAIN REQUIRED SENSE BUT IN NO WAY DID OR WE LET ANY STANDARD SLIDE IN ORDER TO ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO KIND OF HAVE THEIR WAY WITH WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS UNFAIR. I THINK THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMENTS DID COME FROM THE DESIGN COMMUNITY. BUT BILL, IF I'M WRONG ON THAT PLEASE LEAVE NOW.

>> WE HAD A COUPLE OF COMMENTS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT JOE MOSTLY ON THE ONE LIKED TO COMMENT THAT WE RECEIVED WAS BASICALLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS BUT THERE WAS REALLY NO PUSHBACK. I THINK THE ONLY FROM THE ENGINEERING COMMUNITY WE GOT NO COMMENTS ON CLARIFICATIONS AS WELL AS THERE ARE THINGS THAT THEY DIDN'T NECESSARILY LIKE ABOUT THE REQUIREMENTS BUT WE REVIEWING WITH EACH OF THE TERRORIST ACTIONS THEY WERE WE STUCK WITH DIDN'T MAKE THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AND REALLY NOTHING BACKING AWAY FROM THE

REQUIREMENTS. >> MOST OF THE COMMENTS WERE SUPPORT FOR THE BILL ENGINEERS

AND 2 YEAR OLD ENGINEERS. >> BILL HUTCHINS BASICALLY I GUESS SO I YES BUT I NEED TO KNOW I GUESS THE GOAL HERE IS FOR THE FOAM WATER BOARD TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO

SECTION THIS ORDINANCE. >> WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THE LENDERS THAT OUTPUT WHAT YOU

WOULD LIKE TO DO? >> THE ORDINANCE HAS NOT YET BEEN FINALIZED.

AND ONE THING I DID WANT TO MENTION IS THE ORDINANCE WE HAVE IS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS PROPOSED FOR BETTER SITE DESIGN AND WHAT WE'VE CHOSEN TO DO AND WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH LEGAL ON THIS IS MAKING SURE WE ADOPT WHAT WE NEED TO FROM SOCO SO THAT WE'RE CONSISTENT AND THEN WORK TO CREATE I GUESS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE MANUAL AND THE ORDINANCE SO THAT WHEN WE WANT TO MAKE CHANGES TO OUR MANUAL BASED ON UPDATING SCIENCE LIKE KIM MENTIONED OR A UPDATED TECHNOLOGIES WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO

SEEK COUNCIL READINGS AT EVERY STAGE. >> SO WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY LIKE I SAID WORKING WITH WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT ON THAT WAY I GUESS AS FAR AS OUR RECOMMENDATION I'M NOT I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE. AGAIN IT'S NOT FINALIZED FOR.

KAREN CAROL FOR ONCE WAS TOLD MORE BOARD TO BE CORRECT STATION TO YOU FORWARD THEY SHOULD DO THE WORK, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT IT? AND THEN WE'RE TOLD YEAH, WE'RE CLEAR WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS WITH WHATEVER I'M THINKING THAT YOUR TIMELINE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT

[01:05:04]

I WOULDN'T LIKE AND I BELIEVE THAT MAYBE WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT MORE BEFORE WE'D MAKE ANY KIND OF RECOMMENDATION. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE NOT REALLY READY FIRST TO DO IT IN ANY WAY IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ORDINANCE.

>> WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE AS FAR AS TO TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION?

>> WELL, I MEAN WE GENERALLY WE WE LOOK AT THE ORDINANCE WAS GOING TO PROPOSE BY ALL AND SORT OF GO TO LAYER BUT OBVIOUSLY TODAY AND AS FAR AS THE DESIGN MANUAL ARE YOU WANT TO SEE THAT IN ITS ENTIRETY TO MAKE A WRITE UP RECOMMENDATION THAT WE ADOPT THE NEW DESIGN

MANUAL. >> I DON'T KNOW HOW EVERYBODY FEELS ABOUT THAT.

I'D LIKE TO SEE IT. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MARK? YOU'RE GOING TO COMMENT ABOUT

THAT HERE AND ON YOUR BODY? >> WILL AUSTRALIA'S FAR RIGHT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AT LEAST THE CONTENTS AS A MINIMUM SO WE CAN SEE WHAT HOW THAT'S BROKEN DOWN AND THEN FROM THAT WE CAN TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO SEE THE ENTIRE SECTION DESIGN SECTION THAT RELATES TO

THAT. >> OK, I AGREE WITH JAMES AND BILL THAT WE SHOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEND TO THE COUNCIL AS A WHOLE BEFORE WE

ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED OR APPROVE ANYTHING. >> CAN I CHIME IN FOR A SECOND? THIS ACTUALLY HAS BEEN SENT TO THE STORMWATER UTILITY BOARD WHEN EVERYTHING WENT OUT TO

PUBLIC COMMENT BACK IN JANUARY . >> IT'S STILL ON THE COUNTY'S WEB SITE AND AVAILABLE FOR THE COMMITTEE TO REVIEW IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO ALREADY.

SO SURELY IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT THE ORDINANCE IS, WHAT ALL THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE BUT ARE SUPPORTING APPENDICES TO THE DESIGN MANUAL, IT IS OVER 300 PAGES.

IN FACT I THINK WITH ALL THE APPENDICES THE DESIGN MANUAL IS APPROXIMATELY 400 PAGES OF EXTREMELY TECHNICAL GUIDANCE BUT IT IS DEFINITELY THERE AND I WOULD SAY PROBABLY IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IT'S GREAT TO GET A JUMP ON IT NOW RATHER THAN WAITING FOR A UTILITY BOARD MEETING TO TRY AND GET TO IT IF YOU IF YOU WANT TO REALLY DELVE INTO IT.

>> THERE'S A COPY OF OLDER NOTES OF WORLD. THERE IS IT'S THE FIRST CHAPTER IS IT NOT? OR IS THERE A YEAH THE ORDINANCE IS APPENDIX A OF THE DRAFT DOCUMENT OR MORE I GUESS THE POINT I'M MICROSOFT GENERALLY ONE OF THE PURPOSES OR POSTPONED BORDERS TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE

THE TIMELINE IS REALLY GOING TO ALLOW US TO DO THAT. >> WHY THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE READY FOR REVIEW AGAIN BY KEN MENTIONED IT IS ON THE ONLINE AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE NEXT UTILITY BOARD IS OCTOBER 14 AND SO IF WE NEED A MOTION FOR FOR APPROVAL THEN WE'LL SEE GET AT

THAT TIME. >> THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS FOR GOES TO THE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE WHICH GENERALLY WOULD BEFORE IT WOULD GO TO THE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVING COMMENTS ABOUT LESS THAN ANYBODY? OK, WELL THAT BEING THE CASE OH YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT IT BUT I WANT LOOK AT IT A LOT MORE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT THEY WANT TO DECIDE ABOUT A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL OF OUR HOPE EVERYBODY ELSE ON

BOARD WITH THE SUN OF THE LOOKS AND COMMENTS THE GET LEFT. >> LET'S LET OKATIE KNOW I GUESS AND THEN HOPEFULLY THE NEXT NEXT MEETING WE'LL BE READY.

MICHAEL RECOMMENDATION OKATIE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BILL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[01:10:02]

>> YES, I HAVE ONE QUESTION. I ASSUME IT WILL BE A NEW BUSINESS BUT IT'S A TECHNICAL QUESTION AND IT'S FROM OUR INCORPORATED MUNICIPALITIES ASKING ABOUT VERSUS NON PERMEABLE SURFACES BUILDING SINGLE FAMILY HOME SITES. ANY INCORPORATED MUNICIPALITIES HAVE FIRM PERCENTAGES BUT CAN YOU THAT QUESTION AGAIN I'M SORRY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND

. >> IN REVIEWING NEW HOME SITES LET'S SAY IN BLUFFTON.

>> ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY SET PERCENTAGE NUMBER OF TERMINAL PERMEABLE VERSUS NON COMFORTABLE AREAS OR JUST GENERALIZED STATEMENTS IN BMD PS THAT TALK ABOUT MINIMISING IMPERMEABLE SURFACES WHEREVER POSSIBLE? SO FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME SITES THAT ARE NOT PART OF A LARGER COMMON PLAN WHICH WOULD FALL UNDER NEW DMB FACED AND

HAVE A WHOLE STORMWATER REPORT AND EVERYTHING. >> WE HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL LOT NOTICE OF INTENT THAT IS FILED AND IT PUTS THE ONUS BACK ON THE THE HOMEOWNER THAT ANY REQUIRED PAPERWORK PERMITTING FROM DIRECT THEY HAVE TO FILE AT THAT POINT THEIR THINGS ARE REALLY JUST THE HISTORIC DISTRICT FOR IT WHICH IS ROUGHLY ONE SQUARE MILE AND THESE HOME SITES ARE SMALL THAT THEY REALLY DON'T EVEN TRIGGER OUTSIDE OF SEDIMENT AND EROSION

CONTROL. >> THEY DON'T TRIGGER ANYTHING FROM A STORMWATER PERSPECTIVE.

IT FLIPS OVER TO OUR GROWTH MANAGEMENT SIDE WHEN IT COMES MORE TO TREE CONSERVATION AND A NUMBER OF TREES ON THE HOME SITE. THAT MUST BE MAINTAINED AND THAT WOULD TIE INTO PERVIOUS VERSUS IMPERVIOUS TYPICALLY ON A SINGLE FAMILY LOT.

WE'RE NOT GETTING INVOLVED IN THAT ANYBODY ELSE OR ALL IN THE SAME.

>> WELL, THANKS, JIM. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR NEW BUSINESS IF YOU

[4. REPORTS]

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE ALL BEEN GIVEN THE MAJORITY OF THEM RAY AND WAS READY FOR MORE OF ME.

>> JIM. ALL RIGHT. SO TO START WITH OUR UTILITY UPDATE WE JUST COMPLETED THE LAST MILESTONE FOR THE CENTER FOR WATERSHED PROTECTION AND SO WE'LL GO I GUESS PLAN ACTIVITIES PART OF THE PART OF THE CONTRACT.

THAT WAS THE PRESENTATION BILL TODAY. SO AS OF TODAY WE ARE DONE WITH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT CONTRACT. AGAIN, WE'RE WORKING THROUGH IMPLEMENTING THOSE REGIONAL DESIGN STANDARD. IT'S GOING TO KIND OF HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GUYS ALL HAVE THIS INFORMATION JUST AS A REMINDER THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS WILL BE DUE FROM EACH OF THE MUNICIPALITIES.

>> PER THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, SEPTEMBER 30TH.

SO WE'LL NEED TO SEE THOSE AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY FROM THE LAB IS ON THE CALL.

>> SO THERE IS NO UPDATE THAT'S AVAILABLE FROM THEM TO DISCUSS .

JAN, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP SCROLLING OR I GUESS SWITCH TO JUMPED TO STORMWATER RELATED

PROJECTS. >> YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE PUBLIC ON ANY EASEMENTS AND COMPLAINTS JUMPING DOWN TO NUMBER FIVE. THE GREAVES PROPERTY WE ACTUALLY COMPLETED A SITE VISIT TANNER PALIN. THE FIRST PRISONER TO KIND OF GET A FEEL FOR THE PROPERTY AND START WORKING ON SOME MONITORING LOCATIONS.

THE AGAIN THEY'VE GOT THEIR PERMIT APPLICATION FOR THE ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

BUT WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM ON THEIR MASTER PLAN GOING DOWN TO NUMBER EIGHT.

SO WE CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LADIES IRELAND PLAN AND THE SEA LEVEL RISE.

DRAFT ORDINANCE. WE'VE MET TWICE SINCE OUR LAST UTILITY BOARD MEETING LATE

[01:15:07]

THEY ARE STILL PLANNING ON IMPLEMENTING THAT IN JANUARY 1ST GOING TO PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTS. I JUST WANT TO TOUCH BASE ON NUMBERS 2 AND 3 THAT I'VE AGREED UPON. WE ARE WORKING. WE'RE WORKING ON PERMITTING CURRENTLY AND IT SHOULD BE GOING OUT TO BID FOR CONSTRUCTION LATE THIS MONTH EARLY NEXT MONTH. AND THEN OUR RF Q FOR STORMWATER STORMWATER ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES CLOSED ON THE 30TH. WE EVALUATED THE TOP TWO

CONSULTANTS AND WE ARE WORKING WITH THE MAYOR. >> YOU WANT TO SCROLL REGIONAL

COORDINATION JOHN? >> THE ONLY REAL MAJOR UPDATE I WANT TO TOUCH BASE ON IS THE UPDATE WITH BETWEEN SANITARY SEWER AND THE MAYOR OF A WATERSHED FROM BETWEEN THE TOWN

AND COUNTY. >> WE DID HEAR BACK FROM OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT STATING THAT STORMWATER FEES MAY ONLY BE USED TO FUND THE UTILITIES PROGRAM SYSTEMS SERVICES AND FACILITIES. SO ONLY FOR THE PURPOSES OF STORMWATER WE SAW MORE FEES AND ANY SPECIAL PROJECTS WOULD NEED TO FALL WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS PROVIDED ABOVE CAME I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE YOU WANT TO ADD THAT OF COURSE IN THE PROGRAM YOU REFERRED TO BEAUFORT COUNTY OR THAT APPLY TO BLOCK THEM THOSE WELL THAT IS JUST FOR COUNTIES LEGAL

DETERMINATION. >> NO NOT BLUFFTON. NO BROOKLYN'S JUST GRID RIGHT.

>> MUNICIPAL REPORTS WE RECEIVE USEFUL REPORTS FROM THE TOWN OF HOME HIDE AND THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON. AND I KNOW FROM REPRESENTATIVES FROM BOTH ON IF YOU ALL HAVE

ANY THING ELSE TO ADD. >> IF NOT, LIKE I SAID, THE INFORMATION IS IN THE PACKET.

I'LL JUMP IN AND MAKE A PLUG THAT WE PROMOTED. BRIDGET NOONAN NEWS ON THE CALL TO STORMWATER TECHNICIAN. SO WE'RE CURRENTLY ADVERTISER SEEKING A REPLACEMENT FOR HER POSITION WHICH WAS A FIELD ASSISTANT AND ADMONITION DISTANT AND CURRENTLY ADVERTISED ON THE TOWN OF WEAPONS WEB PAGE. UNDER OPPORTUNITY.

WE ARE STILL GOING FULL FORCE WITH ALL OF OUR M.S. REQUIREMENTS.

I KNOW ELLEN IS ON ELLEN. DID YOU HAVE. DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO

THE PUBLIC EDUCATION REPORT? >> I'M SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE REPORT BUT WE DID TRY SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO TRY AND FIT WITH THESE TIMES.

WE ACTUALLY DID A SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH CAMPAIGN BASED AROUND PET WASTE ON THIS TEACHING PLAN. BUT IT WAS ALSO JUST SOMETHING THAT VERY FEW COULD TRY OUT DURING THE PANDEMIC TIMES AND WE DIDN'T GET AS MUCH ENGAGEMENT AS WE WOULD HAVE

[01:20:04]

REACHING A MUCH LARGER AUDIENCE THAN NORMAL. >> SO WE'RE CONSIDERING IT A WIN AND I ACTUALLY HAVE ANOTHER SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN BASED AROUND SOCIAL TESTING PLANNED AROUND THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF SEPTEMBER. THANKS.

NOT THAT THEY NECESSARILY RELATE TO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUT WE HAVE A COMMENT FROM ERIK LARSON THAT SAYS HI OLE MISS, EVERYONE. SOMEONE COMMENTED HELLO ERIK AND THEN MEG JAMES FROM THE HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION SAID THAT SHE WAS LOGGING ON

WATCHING SOMEONE ASKED IF THE MANUAL WAS AVAILABLE. >> I'M ASSUMING THEY MEAN SO LOOK A MANUAL AND THEN MEG JAMES ASKED WOULD IT BE HELPFUL TO HAVE BUILDER DEVELOPERS AND ENGINEERS ON A ZUNE CALL WITH ALL OF US TO DISCUSS AND I'M ASSUMING SHE MEANS THE SOLO

LOGO DESIGN MANUAL. AND THAT WAS IT. >> AND I WILL ECHO OFF OF MY CLASS COMMENT THAT BILL BAUER AND I DID PARTICIPATE IN THE HILTON HEAD AREA HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION'S MEETING. I THINK BACK IN JUNE AND DID INTRODUCE THESE CONCEPTS OF THE NEW SO LOKO ORDINANCE DESIGN MANUAL COMING UP. I THINK IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T HURT TO MIX COMMENT TO DO IT AGAIN. YOU KNOW, REINFORCEMENT AND RECOGNIZING THERE ARE GOING TO BE CHANGES. SO INITIALLY IT'S BEEN DONE BUT IT WOULDN'T PROBABLY HURT TO BE REDUNDANT BEFORE. SO WE NEED TO DO THIS BEFORE COMMENTS.
