3.   Public Hearing to discuss Aaron Walker. Jr's. request for a Zoning Map Amendment.

The City of Pooler was petitioned by Aaron \Walker, Jr. to rezone approximately 3 acres on Sheftall Road from C-2 (Heavy Commercial) to ~1, a Light Industrial Zoning. Mr. Walker plans to operate a trucking business from that location if zoning change is approved. There was some discussion about adequate access and maintenance of Sheftall and Old Dean Forest Road. Chairman Taylor stated access through the unopened portion of Sheftall Road would be a straighter route to U.S. Highway 80. Mr. Walker stated he had discussed with Ron Stephens and Billy Dorsey about deeding some property at the corner of Sheftall and Old Dean Forest Road for a turning radius. Following more discussion, a motion was made by Holly Young to table this item for two weeks to give the petitioner and the hoard more time to review the access possibilities and road maintenance. Motion was seconded by Fleta Pepper and passed without opposition.

There being no further business to come before the board, a motion of adjournment was made by Joe Harmon and seconded by Fleta Pepper. Motion passed.
