Please.

13
00:00:51,820 --> 00:00:54,200
I'll be now in a state of America.

14
00:00:54,940 --> 00:00:56,980
And to the Republic for which it stands.

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,260
One nation in honor of indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

16
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:10,460
Thank you.

17
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:10,980
Thank you.

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,380
Mr. Chairman.

19
00:01:14,380 --> 00:01:19,800
I move to approve the consent agenda for general business with the acceptance of any issue.

20
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:23,080
Item of the Mr. Bush's to cheat and pull.

21
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,700
Okay, book.

22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,640
Do I have a second?

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,540
Second.

24
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:28,620
All right.

25
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:33,760
I have a motion from Commissioner Rafalsky to approve consent agenda under general business.

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,280
And a second by Commissioner Swap Booker.

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,720
Commissioner Booker.

28
00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:41,120
You need to discuss it.

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,280
All in favor please raise your right hand.

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,680
And that is unanimous.

31
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:51,710
That moves us to our public hearing for alcohol, beverage license.

32
00:01:53,110 --> 00:02:00,330
So as I read this, please keep in mind that we are here to be good neighbors and to speak

33
00:02:00,330 --> 00:02:07,530
civilly to each other whether we agree with the subject matter or not.

34
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:09,350
So let's keep that in mind.

00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:14,650
And public hearings were be limited to 30 minutes for each post and side with five minutes

36
00:02:14,650 --> 00:02:19,410
allocated to each individual speaker, comments are to be limited to relevant information

37
00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:22,870
regarding your position and should avoid being repetitious.

38
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:27,670
And if your group has a spokesperson, please allow that individual to present your group's

39
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:29,150
position in the time allocated.

40
00:02:29,770 --> 00:02:32,750
And as always, your cooperation is appreciated.

41
00:02:34,130 --> 00:02:41,330
out of number eight is to consider the issues of a 2026 alcoholic beverage license to me.

42
00:02:42,570 --> 00:02:45,350
I didn't pronounce that before time.

43
00:02:45,470 --> 00:02:51,870
I'll see you look at it at 254 periling road, wrongs with Georgia 31525.

44
00:02:52,350 --> 00:02:56,710
The license is to sail beer at a grocery store, not for consumption owned premises.

45
00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:58,210
Sunday sales permitted.

46
00:02:58,710 --> 00:03:02,430
Mr. Mark News, Juniors, the Licensee, and we have Ms. Kinstal Wibbs.

47
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:03,830
Good evening, Commissioner.

48
00:03:04,010 --> 00:03:06,530
Mr. Christy Kinstal, Clean County Licensing and Compliance.

49
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:09,450
The application has gone through our process.

50
00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:12,950
The background of the Licensee has been approved by the Police Department.

51
00:03:13,330 --> 00:03:16,230
And the Licensee is present tonight as required by the ordinance.

52
00:03:17,070 --> 00:03:18,030
All right.

53
00:03:18,830 --> 00:03:23,150
Before we open the public hearing commissioners, there anything that you wish to say?

54
00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:27,490
All right, this is a public hearing for the

55
00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:35,350

00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,380
All right, that went quickly.

00:03:55,260 --> 00:03:57,540
We'll close the public hearing and commissioners will back you.

62
00:04:03,690 --> 00:04:05,350
chair in

63
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,020
the 2020 six out the hall of the weather license to new tariff.

64
00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:21,540
LLC located at 254 periolane, rather than rather Georgia, 315 to 5, licenses to sell

65
00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:26,580
bearded grocery store, not for consumption owned premises, Sunday sales are permitted.

66
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,020
So you only have to see Martin as junior licensee.

67
00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:31,820
All right.

68
00:04:32,020 --> 00:04:34,960
We have a motion by commissioner with false gear, a second by commissioner,

69
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,380
of sweat to approve this license in the other discussion.

70
00:04:39,140 --> 00:04:41,100
All in favor, please raise your right hand.

71
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:43,460
That is unanimous.

72
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:48,300
Item number nine, public hearing for land use.

73
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:54,140
This is ZM-26-16 and it is the Christ Church

74
00:04:54,140 --> 00:04:57,220
Frederick of Reson and we have this leaf with us.

75
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,100
Good evening, Commissioner Stephanie Lee.

76
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:03,080
Planning and zoning director.

77
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,120
So this is, see it.

78
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:08,080
Hi, see you, if you go to the other presentation.

79
00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:08,920
Thank you.

80
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:13,260
Great, thank you.

81
00:05:14,140 --> 00:05:16,920
And this is as DM 2016, and this is a

82
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,620
Reason of several properties owned by Christ Church.

83
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,820
And the primary goal of this reasoner

84
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:24,840
Quest is they have three different zoning districts on their properties,

85
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,640
three different parcels, and they're seeking to consolidate all of their parcels

86
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:36,020
And you say into one planned development district just so everything is consolidated into one,

87
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:41,620
and it's clear who the what these parcels are used for.

88
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,980
So currently they have conservation preservation, one family, residential R12,

89
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,560
and there is a portion that isn't a PD district too.

90
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,160
So here are their properties. So this is of course the north end of the islands,

91
00:05:54,940 --> 00:06:01,300
And it's Steven's Road and Fredericker Road, so just don't worry into this is Fredericker Road here.

92
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,620
This is Steven's Road turning off.

93
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,280
And in the parcels where the orange stars are located, other ones that are subject to this reason.

94
00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:11,240
And this is the common subdivision.

95
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:16,490
And then this comprehensive plan that should, this is North Island.

96
00:06:16,490 --> 00:06:18,390
This is on keeping with the comp plan.

97
00:06:19,710 --> 00:06:21,590
And then as this is survey of the property.

98
00:06:23,390 --> 00:06:28,330
And then this is their master plan that shows what they are planning to do with the properties.

99
00:06:28,910 --> 00:06:38,750
And it is, they are, I mean, keeping the, the church religious use and uses that are compatible with the historic use of the property.

100
00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:44,850
And then the full plan development and district text is in your packet.

101
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:52,110
But here's just, they do show some permit, the permit uses that are on parcel A and parcel B.

102
00:06:52,110 --> 00:06:57,510
or in two here so that they do have a divided into different parcels here and then they also have

103
00:06:57,510 --> 00:07:04,110
accessory uses for parcels A&B and then they have more limited uses on the one parcel C.

104
00:07:06,750 --> 00:07:11,690
The Iowa's Planning Commission did recommend approval as presented. We did receive some of

105
00:07:11,690 --> 00:07:17,330
questions. I think there's one or two public comments that that meeting questions about traffic and

106
00:07:17,330 --> 00:07:21,370
access office Stevens Road. There are some questions about that but know what their concerns

107
00:07:21,370 --> 00:07:26,810
and expressed with that meeting, and these are your possible actions tonight.

108
00:07:27,330 --> 00:07:31,150
And as that carries, I'm Chris Jordan here from Hunter McLean for this application.

109
00:07:31,410 --> 00:07:32,950
I'm happy to answer any questions as well.

110
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Thank you.

111
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:37,880
Thank you, Ms. Leaf.

112
00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:42,860
Well, Commissioner Zimmy, question to comments before we open public hearing.

113
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,240
All right, this is a public hearing for ZEM-26-1-6.

114
00:07:48,540 --> 00:07:52,500
If anyone is here to speak in opposition, please come forward.

115
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:55,860
state your name for the record please and you'll have five minutes.

116
00:07:56,620 --> 00:07:57,880
Anyone to speak in opposition?

117
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,200
Moving right along, seeing none will close that portion.

118
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,820
Anyone who wishes to speak in favor please come forward and state your name for the record.

119
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,120
You'll have five minutes.

120
00:08:10,650 --> 00:08:11,910
Good evening, commissioners.

121
00:08:12,010 --> 00:08:15,710
I'm Chris Jordan, along with Zach Harris, we represent Christchurch.

122
00:08:15,730 --> 00:08:21,790
We're joined tonight by Director Tom Perti, the head of Christchurch, several members

123
00:08:21,790 --> 00:08:22,750
of the Christchurch.

124
00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:25,030
and I believe a few decans.

125
00:08:25,570 --> 00:08:27,350
So I'll be very brief, Ms. Leaf said it well.

126
00:08:27,570 --> 00:08:28,650
Tonight is about cleanup.

127
00:08:29,230 --> 00:08:33,590
Christchurch owns 24 acres, zone across three parcels

128
00:08:33,590 --> 00:08:35,670
right now, all of which are zone differently.

129
00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:37,530
And it doesn't make sense.

130
00:08:37,730 --> 00:08:39,410
It's not accomplishing any purpose.

131
00:08:39,810 --> 00:08:42,090
The church would like and there's hoping to obtain

132
00:08:42,090 --> 00:08:46,830
a uniform set of consolidated zoning that applies

133
00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:49,230
to the entirety of their property.

134
00:08:50,190 --> 00:08:52,670
That's the only reason that we're here tonight.

135
00:08:52,670 --> 00:08:55,970
So if the commission has any questions of me, I'm happy to answer them.

136
00:08:56,330 --> 00:08:59,870
Otherwise, we appreciate the commission's consideration of our application.

137
00:09:00,670 --> 00:09:00,850
All right.

138
00:09:01,030 --> 00:09:01,850
Thank you.

139
00:09:02,030 --> 00:09:03,450
Anyone else to speak in favor?

140
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:05,810
All right.

141
00:09:06,090 --> 00:09:08,790
Seeing none, hearing none will close the public hearing up for

142
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:13,050
ZM-26-16 and commissioners will back to you.

143
00:09:13,270 --> 00:09:17,750
Mr. Chairman, I'm not commotion to approve the proposed zoning

144
00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:19,670
as request.

145
00:09:20,510 --> 00:09:26,930
Second. All right. I'll have a motion by Commissioner Duncan, a second by Commissioner

146
00:09:26,930 --> 00:09:33,310
Tostos and I think I heard first. Any other discussion? All in favor, please raise

147
00:09:33,310 --> 00:09:42,210
your eye hand. And that is in that sense. Thank you. I don't number 10 is the N-26-17. That

148
00:09:42,210 --> 00:09:48,130
is 33-37, Highway 82, Resolve. And we have with us tonight, Mr. Kerry.

149
00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:50,680
Good evening,

150
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:52,940
Commissioners, Christopher Carey, senior planner.

151
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,860
Before it's night we have a rezoning request at 33-37, highway 80.

152
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:11,620
2, that's 3337 and 3349. Here's a location. It was right here along the highway 82 corridor.

153
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:31,880
So the request is to resume a 1.9-acre property from force agriculture to highway commercial to allow for future commercial development on parcels 02-00691.

154
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,960
and 0 2 dash 0 0 7 6 3.

155
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,040
All uses allowed in highway commercial zoning district would be allowed,

156
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,960
and the current primary use that is being requested

157
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,020
or is being used on the property is major and minor storage.

158
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:55,940
So here's the definitions for minor and major storage as an ordinance.

159
00:10:59,770 --> 00:11:04,570
And here's the difference between what is proposed and it's existing for

160
00:11:04,570 --> 00:11:11,490
development standards going from a forest, agriculture, mainly residential use to a highway commercial

161
00:11:11,490 --> 00:11:12,490
use.

162
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,540
And here is a sketch plan of what is out there on the site.

163
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:23,660
The planning commission

164
00:11:23,660 --> 00:11:27,200
did recommend unanimous approval of this application.

165
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,020
And these are your possible motions.

166
00:11:31,140 --> 00:11:34,620
Mr. Salar is available for questioning as well, and that is all for me.

167
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,700
All right, thank you, Mr. Carey.

168
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,220
Commissioner, can you put the very first one back up?

169
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:47,800
I thought it was on 82.

170
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,220
Yes, this is just north of Southern hardware.

171
00:11:54,950 --> 00:11:55,550
All right.

172
00:11:55,950 --> 00:11:57,130
You need to have a question of comments.

173
00:11:57,570 --> 00:12:00,230
Mr. Carey, this is a public hearing for

174
00:12:00,230 --> 00:12:06,570
DM-26-1733-37-882 Resolve.

175
00:12:06,910 --> 00:12:12,390
Anyone who wishes to speak in opposition, please come forward, state your name, for the record,

176
00:12:12,590 --> 00:12:13,730
you'll have five minutes.

177
00:12:15,820 --> 00:12:17,140
Anyone to speak in opposition?

178
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:23,220
Hearing none, seeing none will close that portion of the public hearing anyone who wishes

179
00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:29,240
to speak in favor of ZM-26-17, please come forward, state your name, for the record.

180
00:12:31,630 --> 00:12:32,090
All right.

181
00:12:32,090 --> 00:12:38,090
Seeing none, hearing none, well-plosed the public hearing, and commissions were back to you.

182
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:48,950
Mr Chairman, I'd like to make a motion that we approve ZM-26-17-337, how we had it to

183
00:12:48,950 --> 00:12:50,190
resound as presented.

184
00:12:52,490 --> 00:12:57,330
All right, we have a motion by Commissioner Tawlson, a second by Commissioner Clark, Clark

185
00:12:57,330 --> 00:13:01,130
to approve ZM-26-17, any discussion?

186
00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:04,290
All in favor please raise your right hand.

187
00:13:04,930 --> 00:13:07,890
And that is, you know, thank you.

188
00:13:08,270 --> 00:13:14,310
Item number 11 is to consider ZM-26-19,

189
00:13:14,670 --> 00:13:16,470
Brails for Duplexes Reson.

190
00:13:16,890 --> 00:13:20,250
And again, we have Mr. Kerry with us on this.

191
00:13:20,770 --> 00:13:22,690
Mr. Kerry, good evening, commissioners.

192
00:13:22,950 --> 00:13:26,870
Tonight, we have a rezoning for Brails for Duplexes.

193
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:33,190
This property is located at 3426 and 3424 rails for Avenue.

194
00:13:34,490 --> 00:13:38,570
Here's a location right here in blue.

195
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:43,840
So we have three vacant lots.

196
00:13:44,540 --> 00:13:48,700
The request is the res on the two properties, three lots.

197
00:13:49,660 --> 00:13:53,840
Three point, three one acres from R61 family residential to plan

198
00:13:54,940 --> 00:14:00,800
The intent is to make the existing properties more feasible for residential development.

199
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:07,160
Overall, the setbacks are reduced to allow more space to build on the proposed lots.

200
00:14:07,260 --> 00:14:12,140
Similar to adjacent properties located in the city of Brunswick's zoning district.

201
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,060
So here is the difference between what is proposed and existing.

202
00:14:19,060 --> 00:14:27,980
Overall, the minimum requirements proposed are 4,500 square foot lots with a lot with a 45 feet wide,

203
00:14:28,700 --> 00:14:38,360
15 foot front setbacks, 5 foot side yard setbacks, and a 7 foot rear building setback.

204
00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:43,280
And here is your master plan.

205
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,100
So, right here we have the three parcels

206
00:14:49,250 --> 00:14:54,130
showing on the north parcel a duplex and future

207
00:14:54,130 --> 00:14:56,250
development on the bottom parcel

208
00:14:58,390 --> 00:14:59,930
and here's the plan of development.

209
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,980
Tax that is also on your packet.

210
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:10,810
The Planning Commission did recommend unanimous approval of this application.

211
00:15:12,330 --> 00:15:20,370
And these are your possible motions. We do have Kevin Higgins on behalf of the property owners, as their agent available as well.

212
00:15:20,630 --> 00:15:21,510
That is often staff.

213
00:15:23,780 --> 00:15:25,240
All right. Thank you, Mr. Curie.

214
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,060
Commissioners, any thing before we open the public hearing?

215
00:15:31,620 --> 00:15:35,820
All right, this is a public hearing for ZM-26-19.

216
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,760
Braille for Duplex as reads on anyone who wishes to speak in opposition.

217
00:15:41,260 --> 00:15:43,240
Please come forward, state your name for the record.

218
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:45,940
To speak in opposition.

219
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:51,960
Seeing none hearing none, we'll close that portion of those who wish to speak in favor.

220
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,040
Please come forward, state your name for the record.

221
00:15:57,660 --> 00:16:00,400
All right, moving right along, we'll close the public hearing

222
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,480
and commissioners we're back to you.

223
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,400
Mr. Chairman, I'm moving to approve ZM-2619 as presented.

224
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,880
All right, we have a motion about commission.

225
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:17,140
We'll fall down second by commission of the Booker to approve ZM-2699.

226
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Any other discussion?

227
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,180
All in favor, please raise your right hand.

228
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,120
And that is unanimous.

229
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,980
All right, that brings us to item number 12,

230
00:16:27,980 --> 00:16:33,060
T-A-2-6-3, subdivision regulation, text amendment,

231
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:42,260
and we have with us to speak about this misleaf coming to the point of the thank you.

232
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:51,340
So, commissioners, this is a amendment to the subdivision regulations, so as you may recall, you all adopted a new

233
00:16:51,340 --> 00:16:58,480
regulations that can April 2026 and those went into effect on July 1. And as these went

234
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:05,380
into effect, we became aware of a clarification that needed to be made regarding, regarding

235
00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:12,540
the subdivision regulations and subdivisions that are on the island. So throughout the

236
00:17:12,540 --> 00:17:16,420
most recent drafts of the subdivision regulations that went through the planning commissions

237
00:17:16,420 --> 00:17:26,820
and then which the board, it wasn't tended for all subdivisions on the island to go through

238
00:17:26,820 --> 00:17:31,000
the full preliminary plot, construction and playance of applicable final plot process, which

239
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,100
is what we now call the major subdivision process, that is still in a administrator process,

240
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,000
but it wasn't tended for them to go through that full process, instead of being done purely

241
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:44,700
administratively with the exercise of the visual process, which is now referred to as minor

242
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:45,200
subdivision.

243
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:52,160
So that was the intent, but just the final draft that that came out, there was a need for clarification

244
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,260
to make sure it was abundantly clear that that was the intent.

245
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:01,240
So that is what this does, is this does clarify the so-do-do regulations stating that

246
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,900
all creation of due loss on State Femin's Island and C. Island need to go to the major

247
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:07,040
so-do vision process.

248
00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:11,360
Now, someone's moving a lot line if they're consolidating loss or replanting in another

249
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,800
way, where they do not create new loss.

250
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:19,920
They can still go through the minor subdivision process, but any new law creation goes through this process.

251
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,620
So that is what this clarification does.

252
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,340
And this did go to the mainland and the island's planning commissions.

253
00:18:28,660 --> 00:18:33,200
They both voted in favor of recommending this as presented.

254
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,840
And I'm happy to answer any questions.

255
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,700
You have on this.

256
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:41,600
Commissioner, if any questions from Nizley.

257
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,760
All right, we will open the public hearing for

258
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:53,700
T.A. Guys, 26-3, anyone who wishes to speak against the subdivision regulations tax

259
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:57,080
amendment, please come forward, states your name for the record.

260
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,980
Anyone to speak in opposition?

261
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,660
Seeing none, hearing none, we'll close that portion, anyone who wishes to speak in favor,

262
00:19:06,660 --> 00:19:13,120
same thing. All right. Seeing none hearing none, we'll close the public hearing on

263
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:17,140
TA-26-3 and commissions we're back in here.

264
00:19:19,770 --> 00:19:24,010
Mr. Chairman, I move to approve TA-26-3

265
00:19:24,010 --> 00:19:29,370
as presented. All right, we have a motion about commission. We're falsk it, so

266
00:19:29,370 --> 00:19:36,910
about commission or Clark to approve TA-26-3, any other discussion. All in favor, please

267
00:19:36,910 --> 00:19:43,970
raise your right hand? That is unanimous. Thank you. I don't number 13 is a zone

268
00:19:43,970 --> 00:19:49,150
ordinance tax amendment and this item is being presented for the first

269
00:19:49,150 --> 00:19:53,610
reading only and no board action will be taken at this time this evening. So let's

270
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:59,130
leave. Thank you. So this is a amendment to the Zoning ordinance. This was

271
00:19:59,130 --> 00:19:59,910
for questions. Bye.

272
00:20:00,420 --> 00:20:22,960
Commissioners to make these changes. There's several changes within one, which is basically four different areas that I'll cover. So it's a little bit more lengthy. I'm going to go through each of them one by one if you want to stop at the end of each one and ask questions at that time. You're welcome to where I can just run through all of them, whatever your preferences with the planning commissions we did kind of do a stop and have a little bit discussion after each of the segments.

273
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:30,640
So the first of the four is, is a change to the March buffer ordinance.

274
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:37,340
So for a number of years, you'd prior to the July 1, and these are all changes to what became effective in July 1.

275
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:44,280
But prior to the July 1 ordinance, the county did have a, what we call a development setback from the March.

276
00:20:44,740 --> 00:20:52,460
So it was a 15-foot area that was measured from the coastal marshals protection stock boundary and the 15 feet back.

277
00:20:52,460 --> 00:20:55,980
And within that 15 foot area, there could be no development.

278
00:20:57,620 --> 00:21:05,420
And so what we did in the July 1 drafts, or July 1 ordinance, was kept that 15 foot buffer,

279
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:10,440
but we clarified it a little bit more to be specific about what could and could not happen in that buffer.

280
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,960
So that was the only change that we did there.

281
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:17,740
But this request is to remove the 15 foot buffer.

282
00:21:17,740 --> 00:21:24,860
And what that would essentially do then is the only buffers setbacks that would be in place

283
00:21:24,860 --> 00:21:26,600
with whatever the state of Georgia requires.

284
00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:31,060
So, currently the state's environmental protection division has an emiration and sediment

285
00:21:31,060 --> 00:21:34,240
control buffer of 25 feet.

286
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,180
That does apply to a lot of properties.

287
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,720
There are some properties that meet criteria to get exemptions from that.

288
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,880
And in those cases, if the state did not require 25 foot buffer, that's where our county

289
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,060
one would kick in that we would have a 15-foot buffer.

290
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,640
So with this change being made, if there was no state-reparative buffer,

291
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,800
then the county would not be requiring a buffer either.

292
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,400
And so they only setbacks from the marsh,

293
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,000
would be whatever the rear property line might be.

294
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,140
So it was really deferring to what the state-reparative

295
00:22:05,140 --> 00:22:07,560
would not have an additional, you know, more restrictive

296
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:08,900
buffer in this case.

297
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,640
Do you have any questions on this for another next one?

298
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,620
We're just basically staying in line with DNR standards.

299
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,300
We are, yeah, we just would not have anything more restrictive or additional regulation.

300
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,300
Because they already have there's in place, is that correct?

301
00:22:24,540 --> 00:22:29,380
That's the environmental protection division of DNR has this in place, correct?

302
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:29,920
Thank you.

303
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:30,520
Yep.

304
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:32,040
Any other questions?

305
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:33,620
Okay.

306
00:22:33,860 --> 00:22:37,120
This is a public hearing for TAG-262.

307
00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:39,060
Oh, I'm sorry.

308
00:22:39,060 --> 00:22:41,940
There are several, yup, there's several other types, yup.

309
00:22:42,220 --> 00:22:42,960
That's right, no here.

310
00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:47,680
So the next one would be, site coverage on the mainland.

311
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:56,360
So currently, with a new ordinance, we instituted a 60% site coverage.

312
00:22:56,420 --> 00:22:58,580
Can we lie to for residential lots?

313
00:22:59,540 --> 00:23:02,480
It's 85% site coverage for commercial lots.

314
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,080
And that's mainland and islands.

315
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:09,040
What this amendment would do would remove that site coverage requirement.

316
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,180
on or site coverage maximum on the mainland.

317
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,480
So the island would still have a 60% or 75% for commercial.

318
00:23:17,820 --> 00:23:20,840
So 60% residential lots, 75% commercial lots,

319
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,800
but the mainland would no longer have that.

320
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,920
And what we count into site coverage is basically anything

321
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,160
except dirt, dirt, grass and trees.

322
00:23:28,460 --> 00:23:29,840
So we count gravel driveways.

323
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,560
We count walkways, pools, the footprint of the structures.

324
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,300
All that's in site coverage.

325
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,000
So this is what this amendment does.

326
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,600
And I will note that the mainland planning commission

327
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,580
when they reviewed this, they in their recommendation

328
00:23:43,580 --> 00:23:48,000
to you all, they did state that they would recommend

329
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,060
that this be removed county-wide.

330
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,040
So there would not be a slight coverage maximum county-wide

331
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,940
at all, so to remove it for islands in mainland.

332
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,620
But what's before you with this amendment is just

333
00:23:59,620 --> 00:24:00,660
removing out in the mainland?

334
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,280
Any questions on that one before I move to the next?

335
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:14,160
So the next one is traffic impact studies and this one was more of a clarification that staff wanted to have done here.

336
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:21,480
So we had some earlier drafts that included a reference to a level one, level one and level two traffic study.

337
00:24:22,140 --> 00:24:25,140
So that verbage ended up getting removed from the draft.

338
00:24:25,540 --> 00:24:30,200
However, in a couple of spots, the terminology level one traffic study stayed in.

339
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,620
So, because that's confusing because we don't have a definition for a level 1 traffic study and it's not a requirement.

340
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,640
We just wanted to clean this up to remove any reference to level 1.

341
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:52,120
What this ordinance did with the July 1 revisions was state that the county engineer can request a traffic study upon review of an application.

342
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:57,360
and so that is how we've been operating since July 1st is the County At Venergenier Department

343
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:59,960
will review an application and based on there.

344
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:06,900
There are various forties and review. They'll request a traffic study. It also can come out in a pre-application.

345
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:12,200
So, before an applicant can submit for their, for their development, they have a pre-application

346
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:17,720
with us during that pre-application period, county engineering may request a traffic study at that

347
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,520
time, which gives them an opportunity to do that before they apply. So, this is just really a clean

348
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:29,420
on this. I will note that the Mainland Planning Commission did have a change to this. They

349
00:25:29,420 --> 00:25:37,240
did want to leave level one traffic study in here. It's basically like a trip generation memo

350
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:42,440
is basically what it is and they want to leave that reference in here and then have language

351
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:48,760
that would state. If the trip generation memo required additional study then the county could

352
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:55,000
repire additional study. So that was what they put in there. And I was going to go back to

353
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,200
the site coverage real quick because the island's planning commission didn't have a change

354
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,760
I did not mention. So the island planning commissions, recommendation regarding site coverage,

355
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:12,020
they did want to count artificial turf and gravel as 50% of the square footage towards

356
00:26:12,020 --> 00:26:16,980
site coverage. So basically if you had gravel or artificial turf on your property, 50% of

357
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,940
that only 50% of that could count towards your site coverage

358
00:26:20,940 --> 00:26:24,200
and you kind of get a pass on the other 50%.

359
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,120
And then they also wanted to exempt accessibility

360
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,040
and emergency resilient equipment,

361
00:26:29,180 --> 00:26:32,720
like generators and handy capllifts from,

362
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,500
or handicap revs from the site coverage calculations.

363
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:38,940
So anything that was used for an emergency purpose,

364
00:26:38,980 --> 00:26:42,240
they wanted to exclude from site coverage calculations.

365
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,940
with any questions on the traffic impact study and I'll go to that and this is just what

366
00:26:50,940 --> 00:26:57,060
the language says now in the code just for your reference. And then this last one is regarding

367
00:26:57,060 --> 00:27:02,600
the development plan approval. So what we in the prior code we called site plan approval is

368
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:09,900
a approval process that takes a project to the one of the planning commissions and it's multifamily

369
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:13,380
or commercial development is what goes to that site plan process.

370
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,020
The terminology change from site plan to development plan in this new code.

371
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,700
And what this, what this amendment does is it will exempt

372
00:27:25,180 --> 00:27:29,920
additions or new accessory buildings to an existing commercial site

373
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,040
from having to go to the development plan process.

374
00:27:32,260 --> 00:27:33,860
So if you've gotten existing commercial site,

375
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,300
and you want to expand your building, your business is growing,

376
00:27:37,300 --> 00:27:42,500
or you want to add an accessory building onto the property, because it's an arting

377
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:47,100
existing commercial site, then you do not have to do development plan approval process.

378
00:27:47,340 --> 00:27:50,960
So you can go straight to applying for your commercial building permit and you do not have

379
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,020
to go through a planning commission for a review.

380
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,820
So that is what this amendment is and neither of the planning commissions had any changes to

381
00:27:57,820 --> 00:27:58,440
this one.

382
00:27:58,700 --> 00:27:59,440
Ms. Lee?

383
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:00,080
Yes, sir.

384
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:00,860
Could I ask a question?

385
00:28:00,860 --> 00:28:07,840
So, but this does would be, it could be a case where it's multi-family and then someone's doing commercial.

386
00:28:09,420 --> 00:28:12,160
So, this does not include any kind of mixed use.

387
00:28:12,380 --> 00:28:16,660
So, it really is only commercial, like a purely commercial site.

388
00:28:16,980 --> 00:28:17,540
That's a good question.

389
00:28:20,780 --> 00:28:20,980
Okay.

390
00:28:21,180 --> 00:28:23,080
And that is the end of that overview.

391
00:28:23,740 --> 00:28:27,540
And then I already went through with the two planning commissions

392
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:33,380
had their recommendations to you all, and then, as the Chairman said, this is a first reading.

393
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,620
This is a public hearing tonight, but you will not take a vote, but we have, we have noticed

394
00:28:38,620 --> 00:28:43,820
another public hearing on September 17th, which would be the second reading and the board could take

395
00:28:43,820 --> 00:28:48,720
a vote that evening. Thank you. All right.

396
00:28:49,900 --> 00:28:53,980
Commissioner, any questions, comments, or will we open the public hearing?

397
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,620
So, this is the public hearing.

398
00:28:57,700 --> 00:29:02,400
The first public hearing for the zoning ordinance text amendments is there.

399
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:10,460
Anyone who wishes to speak in opposition to these four proposed tweaks to our text.

400
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,800
Anyone to speak in opposition?

401
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:14,740
All right.

402
00:29:14,740 --> 00:29:16,060
Oh, here we come.

403
00:29:16,620 --> 00:29:20,220
If you'll come forward, stay tuned for the record please and you'll have five minutes.

404
00:29:26,220 --> 00:29:27,760
So, it's nice to see you all again.

405
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,120
Thank you for the opportunity to comment tonight.

406
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,860
My name is Kat Montgomery.

407
00:29:33,140 --> 00:29:39,060
I'm a St. Simon's resident and also a representative for Coastal Conservation Organization,

408
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:45,280
100 miles dedicated to protecting Georgia's 100 mile coast through advocacy, education,

409
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,820
and community engagement.

410
00:29:46,820 --> 00:29:59,820
I appreciate that dollar going to host multiple chances for the public to comment on these changes and I'm very curious to hear your discussions tonight as the planning board discussions.

411
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,800
It seemed mostly concerned with creating more relaxed rules for development. Neither board seriously discuss

412
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:14,300
the impacts of stormwater runoff to our shared resources. I'd like to know if any stormwater management

413
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:20,640
experts have been consulted when considering removing the site coverage limits. Managing stormwater

414
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:26,000
is not only about mitigating flooding and controlling drainage, but it's really about maintaining

415
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:33,040
water quality, limiting the amount of impervious surface reduces the amount of sediment and chemicals

416
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:39,080
in stormwater runoff that pollute the water we drink, the water that we swim in, and the water

417
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:44,460
our local seafood comes from. Georgia EPD, the State Environmental Protection Division,

418
00:30:45,020 --> 00:30:55,560
created the coastal stormwater supplement, the CSS, which outlines the special care that coastal

419
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:01,400
SS provides comprehensive guidance for stormwater management to protect the coast and its people

420
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:08,020
from the negative impacts of land development and non-point source pollution. We asked that

421
00:31:08,020 --> 00:31:13,940
you defer the elimination of site coverage maximums to Mainlandland County until an adequate

422
00:31:13,940 --> 00:31:20,320
solution to address stormwater management concerns is created and codified for all residential

423
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,820
and commercial properties.

424
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Implementing site coverage limits is just one way that you can manage stormwater.

425
00:31:27,540 --> 00:31:32,220
You could take suggestions from the coastal stormwater supplement plan of which there are

426
00:31:32,220 --> 00:31:32,560
many.

427
00:31:32,740 --> 00:31:33,740
It's a long document, y'all.

428
00:31:33,860 --> 00:31:34,840
1,500 pages.

429
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,620
It includes a model ordinance that you could adopt into the Glen County coast.

430
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,780
You could reinstate the 25% open space requirement under the St. Simon Street ordinance

431
00:31:45,780 --> 00:31:48,380
and expand it to include all of Glen County.

432
00:31:48,380 --> 00:32:00,840
You could adopt a flexible approach to the impervious surface limits such as exempting the accessibility and emergency equipment from side coverage calculations as the island planning commission recommended.

433
00:32:01,740 --> 00:32:10,840
100 miles will submit more detailed comments on the proposed side coverage change and we are happy to connect you with resources on coastal storm water management so you can make an informed decision.

434
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,560
Thank you so much for your time.

435
00:32:13,620 --> 00:32:22,570
Thank you. Anyone else to speak in opposition? Please come forward. Stay tuned for the record and you'll have a five minute.

436
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,440
Good evening. I'm Maggie Vankamp for it because Keeper for Ultima Haw River Keeper organization.

437
00:32:32,540 --> 00:32:40,820
A local nonprofit environmental advocacy organization and I appreciate all cats comments that save some of the time for my comments.

438
00:32:40,820 --> 00:32:48,160
So, Ditto on, well, she just said about stormwater management, and if I can, can I hand you this to pass down the line there?

439
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:02,980
This is a photo, this is just coincidental, that I was out in the rainstorm on Friday, and got these two buckets of water.

440
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:09,280
One of these is the ultimate hot river where it's flowing up of a floating dock.

441
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:16,560
And the other one is where all the rain is coming off of parking lot down the boat ramp into the river, which one do you think is which?

442
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:24,740
Right? This is why storm water management matters. This is why green space and buffers that are

443
00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:33,000
vegetated to stop that rainwater slow it down and stop all this debris, oil, gas, anything that

444
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,580
could be running off of those impervious surfaces matters to our waters. Glenn County did a

445
00:33:38,580 --> 00:33:46,420
good thing in adding the 15-foot buffer and site limit to the zoning package when you approve

446
00:33:46,420 --> 00:33:51,380
those a few months ago. I really don't understand the reason for this reversal now. I would

447
00:33:51,380 --> 00:33:57,940
love to hear an explanation of why this is being proposed to take those away. A 15-foot buffer

448
00:33:57,940 --> 00:34:03,860
is very minimal but it's better than none and I recall commenting on this during the zoning

449
00:34:03,860 --> 00:34:07,980
hearing's previously about asking for an even larger buffer.

450
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,920
And I believe Ms. Klief's explanation of why this was being added was,

451
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,360
it was to fill gaps where there's no buffer at times,

452
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,500
and that the county had noticed that it was necessary to keep those

453
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:23,100
buffers from becoming paid, or other impervious surfaces.

454
00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:30,680
And the site coverage limits is my search through the zoning ordinances.

455
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,280
I couldn't find any other impervious surface limits.

456
00:34:33,860 --> 00:34:46,580
So the way I understand it, if you do this amendment to take out your site coverage, that means any property owner could pay 100% of their property aside from the state-mandated buffers.

457
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,520
Do you really want to pay for that?

458
00:34:50,740 --> 00:34:51,920
But a parking lot?

459
00:34:52,580 --> 00:34:55,200
I mean, that's going to increase the heat that we're experiencing.

460
00:34:55,420 --> 00:34:57,180
This has been a miserably hot summer.

461
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,960
He's only going to get worse, the less gr...

462
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,400
Green that we have covering the Earth, the less tree can it be we have, and flooding is going to get worse.

463
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:15,960
So, I really encourage you to keep the minimum 15 foot buffer to fill those gaps when the state buffers don't apply.

464
00:35:16,740 --> 00:35:21,640
It would be great if you even, you know, made it larger to match the minimum 25 foot state buffer.

465
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:36,120
But at least keep the 15, and hold off on removing entirely the site coverage limits until you can look at it and figure out if you need to add some impervious surface limits to an amendment.

466
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:48,500
Or if there's a problem, I don't understand if there's a problem with the site coverage language that's making it difficult to enforce or something like that, but not to just take it away entirely unless I'm wrong.

467
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:50,980
and that there is something that would prevent people from

468
00:35:50,980 --> 00:35:52,820
paving 100% of the property.

469
00:35:54,340 --> 00:35:57,440
So thank you for considering our input on this.

470
00:35:58,140 --> 00:36:00,840
I am unavailable to attend the second public hearing.

471
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,560
So my absence that that meaning doesn't mean my comments

472
00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:04,960
have changed.

473
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,260
So I hope you will treat the comments tonight.

474
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,720
Equally is the ones that are earthy to the next meeting.

475
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,880
OK, thank you.

476
00:36:12,340 --> 00:36:13,720
All right, thank you.

477
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:16,500
All right, anyone else to speak an obstacle?

478
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,580
All right, seeing none, hearing none will close that force in any one who wishes to speak

479
00:36:23,580 --> 00:36:24,080
in favor.

480
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,260
Please, come forward.

481
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,900
State your name for the record, please.

482
00:36:29,930 --> 00:36:32,590
All right, seeing none, hearing none will close the public hearing.

483
00:36:32,850 --> 00:36:36,670
This is the first reading and we will consider it again at our next meeting.

484
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,980
No vote will be taken on this matter, this evening.

485
00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:52,900
Our next item on our agenda tonight is an appeal, and it's a public hearing for this

486
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:58,340
field and after receiving a verbal report from County staff regarding the appeal, both persons

487
00:36:58,340 --> 00:37:04,200
favoring and persons opposing the relief salt by the appeals. I have the opportunity to address

488
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:09,600
the Board of Commissioners. The persons favoring the relief salt by the appeals shall be

489
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:16,600
invited to speak for followed by persons opposed to the relief salt by the appeal. Each side

490
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:21,820
shall have a total of 30 minutes total to address the Board of Commissioners. Upon request

491
00:37:21,820 --> 00:37:27,100
make two and approve by the Board of Commissions, prior to speaking, any individual may speak

492
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:28,720
for up to 15 minutes.

493
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,700
All other speakers shall be limited to no more than five minutes unless permitted additional

494
00:37:33,700 --> 00:37:35,180
time by the Board of Commissions.

495
00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:41,420
Any allowance of additional time shall not extend the overall 30-minute time limit per side,

496
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:46,120
unless more time is granted by the Board of Commissions to permit a more complete discussion

497
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:46,900
of the issue.

498
00:37:46,900 --> 00:37:52,740
Any rebuttal shall be allowed only within the overall time constraints set out here in.

499
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:59,900
So that brings us to out of number 14, appeal the Board of Appeals decision on

500
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:07,640
ZV-26-15-732 Ocean Boulevard, St. Sam's Island.

501
00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:08,720
Ms. Carroll.

502
00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:11,880
Good afternoon, Nisi Carroll, a Glen County plan in its own.

503
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,320
This is an appeal of the Board of Appeals decision on

504
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:20,580
CV-2615, 4.732, Ocean Boulevard, SSA.

505
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:22,480
Just a quick note.

506
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,520
The first variant is our government by the previous zoning

507
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,340
ordinance, and this current variant is governed

508
00:38:28,340 --> 00:38:32,600
by the new ordinance, which became effect of July 1, of 2026.

509
00:38:34,460 --> 00:38:36,200
Just a brief overview.

510
00:38:36,380 --> 00:38:38,300
The original home was built in 1924,

511
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,540
which made it in existing legal and not-performing structure,

512
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,480
more specifically the front porch,

513
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,400
which faces 9th Street.

514
00:38:47,220 --> 00:38:54,560
On November 13th, 2025, the Board of Appeals approve ZV 2541 with the vote for zero with

515
00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:00,320
chair Whitman being absent to bring an existing non-conforming structure into compliance, the front and right side

516
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:05,440
setbacks. At that time, the home orders proposed modifications to the existing kitchen in addition

517
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:10,160
of one bedroom and one bath. While the Board approved the request, site coverage concerns

518
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,660
remain unresolved, which is the second variance.

519
00:39:14,220 --> 00:39:19,640
To maintain a streamlined and timely process with the contractor staff did allow our

520
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:26,780
revisions to the original plans to keep the process moving forward until the Board of

521
00:39:26,780 --> 00:39:28,880
Appeals took action on the second variance.

522
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:36,800
Prior to the February 12, 2026 meeting a site, visit reveals significant project changes

523
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,820
via what was publicly noticed as a result of the primary

524
00:39:39,820 --> 00:39:44,380
approval, CB2541, the first one, was called into question

525
00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:47,480
and newly submitted materials required additional staff

526
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:47,960
review.

527
00:39:49,540 --> 00:39:52,340
At that same meeting, the board of appeals

528
00:39:54,540 --> 00:39:59,220
voted to defer the second various to the undertermant date.

529
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,760
Following the meetings that have conducted a comprehensive review of the newly submitted materials and

530
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:11,040
determined that the previous plea approved variance remained in compliance, which about the existing

531
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:16,260
knock-off form structure into compliance, specifically addressing encroachments on the front and right side of

532
00:40:16,260 --> 00:40:40,340
At the March 24th, 2026 special call meeting, the BOA did approve the second variance with conditions, and just to note, it was, if the existing walls fronting Ocean Boulevard and 9th Street are demolished, then the variance granted under ZV 2541 and ZV 2549.

533
00:40:40,340 --> 00:40:44,460
Shelby Dean, no envoy in any structure on the property,

534
00:40:44,620 --> 00:40:47,900
must comply fully with all current zoning and building standards

535
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:49,060
as a new construction.

536
00:40:51,260 --> 00:40:54,300
On May 14, 2020, sixth staff determined at a site visit

537
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:56,420
that the structure had been substantially altered

538
00:40:56,420 --> 00:40:59,400
from its original approved design and deviated

539
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,400
from the BLA's action, which made the first two

540
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,640
variances null and void in accordance

541
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,420
with the BLA's action.

542
00:41:07,420 --> 00:41:10,720
The applicant, builder did not consult the staff,

543
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:17,120
to make a decision to deviate from their proof variants and reconstruct the walls different

544
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,940
insas from those previously approved and do not incorporate any structural elements from

545
00:41:21,940 --> 00:41:26,800
their original residents. Therefore, the builder inspections department did issue a stop worker

546
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:34,580
from the property. The applicant's specific request tonight is to reduce the front and right

547
00:41:34,580 --> 00:41:43,500
you aren't setbacks. This is the location now. This is the survey. This is the survey

548
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:54,470
zoomed in. This was the location for the first variance. This was what was left

549
00:41:54,470 --> 00:42:01,650
at the second variance. This is the current site. These are letters, we were

550
00:42:01,650 --> 00:42:04,230
letters of support from these citizens.

551
00:42:06,390 --> 00:42:12,490
Ethic conducting the public hearing for KZV 2625 on August 13, the BLA of Rinders is

552
00:42:12,490 --> 00:42:18,270
decision on the various requested by Lee Swaffer and Applicant and Agent, and home owners

553
00:42:18,270 --> 00:42:25,190
the BLA did not have applicants request with the vote 401, voting A on the motion, Eddie Wildsmith,

554
00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:29,030
Richard Edgey, Michael Munitelli, and Cliff Woodman,

555
00:42:29,430 --> 00:42:31,130
voting name was Agent Barry.

556
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,080
These are your possible actions.

557
00:42:36,460 --> 00:42:37,840
And these are your possible motions.

558
00:42:40,740 --> 00:42:41,360
All right.

559
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:41,940
Exactly.

560
00:42:42,860 --> 00:42:43,800
That's it for sad.

561
00:42:44,020 --> 00:42:45,160
All right.

562
00:42:45,660 --> 00:42:48,960
Commissars any questions, comments, before we open public hearing

563
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:49,680
on this appeal.

564
00:42:52,350 --> 00:42:53,910
All right, it's stated in our ordinance,

565
00:42:54,390 --> 00:42:58,230
anyone who wishes to speak and favor of granting this appeal

566
00:42:58,230 --> 00:42:59,910
of the board of appeals.

567
00:42:59,910 --> 00:43:02,530
Please come forward, state your name for the record.

568
00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:08,560
Good evening, commissioners.

569
00:43:08,740 --> 00:43:16,420
My name is Shannon Sherer and my husband and I own the 1924 Cottage at 732 Ocean Boulevard.

570
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:20,420
First, I sincerely appreciate the time and attention.

571
00:43:20,420 --> 00:43:21,060
Excuse me.

572
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:23,040
Could I get you to speak into the mic of the more?

573
00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:23,640
Is this better?

574
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,360
Yeah.

575
00:43:24,660 --> 00:43:24,840
Okay.

576
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,640
I sincerely appreciate the time and attention you have given this matter.

577
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:37,640
When we began restoring this little cottage, we never imagined that we would end up standing here.

578
00:43:37,980 --> 00:43:45,120
What started as a renovation became a much more extensive restoration simply because of what was uncovered.

579
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:54,400
But the simplest and most important fact remains that the walls and questions are in the same place that they had been since 1924.

580
00:43:55,580 --> 00:44:01,480
We didn't move them in inch, we did not expand the existing non-conforming footprint.

581
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,120
We repaired and restored those walls in the same place where they have stood for more

582
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:06,880
than a century.

583
00:44:08,420 --> 00:44:14,120
Our goal all along has simply been to save this little 1924 St. Simon's Beach Cottage.

584
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:20,560
And throughout this process, our community has shown up for us in a way that we never expected.

585
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:28,280
As of tonight, we have 545 people who have signed a petition supporting our efforts to

586
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,740
save and restore this cottage.

587
00:44:30,620 --> 00:44:35,800
Many others have taken the time to write to you directly, and we are incredibly grateful.

588
00:44:38,020 --> 00:44:40,080
It is acceptable for you tonight.

589
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:45,600
I would like to ask for those that are in support of this to please stand up, is that acceptable?

590
00:44:56,140 --> 00:44:59,960
So we just humbly ask for you to provide us a path.

591
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:14,360
All right. Thank you.

592
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:30,420
Anyone else who wish to speak in favor? Please come forward, state your name for the record. I think we've solved the show support. Anyone else to come forward and speak in favor?

593
00:45:31,540 --> 00:45:36,720
All right, we'll close that portion of the hearing any one who wishes to speak in opposition

594
00:45:38,980 --> 00:45:46,300
to ZV-26-15732, which will come forward in the state of your name for the record.

595
00:45:48,140 --> 00:45:49,940
Any one who wishes to speak against?

596
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:51,720
All right.

597
00:45:51,860 --> 00:45:56,520
Seeing none hearing none, we'll close the public hearing and commissions we are back to.

598
00:45:56,660 --> 00:46:00,760
Chairman, I'd like to move to reverse the denial of case number ZV266.

599
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,080
2, 6, 4, 5 by the Board of Appeals.

600
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:10,480
All right.

601
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,940
Have a motion by Commissioner Duncan and a second.

602
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:19,640
I think it was simultaneous from Commissioner Talks to Senate Clark in the other discussion.

603
00:46:21,060 --> 00:46:25,800
All in favor of reversing the decision by the Board of Appeals.

604
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,560
As presented, please raise your right hand.

605
00:46:29,220 --> 00:46:30,540
That is unanimous.

606
00:46:30,900 --> 00:46:31,500
Thank you.

607
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:39,820
All right.

608
00:46:39,820 --> 00:46:46,340
And that does conclude our regular schedule for this evening with the exception of our public speaker.

609
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:53,520
I'm Ms. Diane Wolven, just coming forward, and you will have five minutes.

610
00:46:55,630 --> 00:46:56,750
Ms. Rosen, I am ready.

611
00:46:56,750 --> 00:46:59,230
You're going to need to pull the mic right to your mouth please.

612
00:46:59,230 --> 00:47:00,110
How's that?

613
00:47:00,230 --> 00:47:00,570
Okay.

614
00:47:01,670 --> 00:47:03,110
This is all I have to say.

615
00:47:03,330 --> 00:47:04,390
So this will be quick.

616
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:07,330
I just want to give you a heads up about something.

617
00:47:08,310 --> 00:47:14,690
I live at 115 on Klave Lane in the neighborhood of Sea Palms of West.

618
00:47:16,050 --> 00:47:22,150
On the night of September 15th, the IPC will hear a request for rezoning of the property

619
00:47:22,150 --> 00:47:28,270
of five, four, four, five and five, four, four, seven, Fredericka Road on St. Simon's Island.

620
00:47:28,710 --> 00:47:35,870
It's owned by a company called Reath R-E-A-F, who owns the Sea Palms Resort.

621
00:47:35,870 --> 00:47:39,990
You probably are thinking, why is she bringing this up now?

622
00:47:41,210 --> 00:47:47,570
The reason I am preemptively addressing this is because I attended the meeting, the IPC

623
00:47:47,570 --> 00:47:54,370
meeting on July 23rd, and we all remember what happened that night.

624
00:47:56,430 --> 00:48:01,870
Now, that was in regard to the rezoning request for 104 General Ogil Thorpe Road.

625
00:48:01,870 --> 00:48:14,090
This new meeting for this new piece of property that is requesting a resound, I intend to attend that meeting and speak of that meeting as well.

626
00:48:15,310 --> 00:48:28,250
The company that owns Cpom's resort brief, their goal is to lease that property and have it developed into an extensive entertainment venue which would be adjacent to multiple neighborhoods.

627
00:48:28,250 --> 00:48:35,830
If the IPC votes to approve this application, it will be moved forward to you for your consideration.

628
00:48:36,890 --> 00:48:43,910
I want you to know that I support the new ordinances, which all worked very hard,

629
00:48:44,150 --> 00:48:49,090
and planning and zoning people work very hard for our new ordinances.

630
00:48:49,090 --> 00:48:52,790
And the ones for zoning and rezoning,

631
00:48:54,230 --> 00:48:55,310
but that's a good thing.

632
00:48:55,890 --> 00:48:58,410
It gives us a map to follow.

633
00:49:05,470 --> 00:49:05,990
Any house.

634
00:49:06,410 --> 00:49:09,170
So I want to thank you for all you do for the county

635
00:49:09,170 --> 00:49:11,050
because I know you have a hard job

636
00:49:11,050 --> 00:49:14,270
and should be sent up before you.

637
00:49:15,350 --> 00:49:17,790
I hope ordinances will be followed.

638
00:49:18,990 --> 00:49:19,610
Thank you.

639
00:49:20,010 --> 00:49:21,390
All right, thank you, Ms. Waller.

640
00:49:22,950 --> 00:49:23,290
All right.

641
00:49:24,190 --> 00:49:27,450
Mr. Attorney, any call for executive session.

642
00:49:28,050 --> 00:49:29,890
Gentlemen, with that, I am a tensioner motion.

643
00:49:29,890 --> 00:49:31,450
Mr. Chairman, motion to adjourn.

644
00:49:31,810 --> 00:49:32,070
Second.

645
00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:35,190
I have a motion by commissioner with falsky.
