The regularly scheduled meeting of the Pooler Planning and Zoning Commission was held on Monday, February 12, 2001 at 6 p.m.   Members present were:  Larry Olliff, Tim Lovezzola, Joe Harmon, Debbie Ryan Watts, Craig Brewer and Judson Trapnell.   Zoning Administrator Jackie Carver and Councilwoman Billie Tyler were also in attendance.  Co-Chairman Larry Olliff called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.

The minutes of the previous meeting were approved upon a motion made by Debbie Ryan Watts.      Motion was seconded by Joe Harmon and passed without opposition.   

PUBLIC HEARINGS:  

1.  Billboard Height Variance for Trinity Outdoor, Inc.   Since the petitioner was not present, a motion was made by Judson Trapnell to table this item for two weeks.  Motion was seconded by Debbie Ryan Watts and passed with no opposition.

2.  Jack Brewton’s request to subdivide 1.83 acres into two lots on east bound Highway 80.                Co-Chairman Larry Olliff stated this property is adjacent to Cash American Pawn Shop.  Mr. Brewton wants to market the lots for commercial use, but has no potential buyers at this time.  All of the property is zoned C-1, a Light Commercial Zoning.  With no public comment, a motion to approve the minor subdivision was made by Joe Harmon.  Motion was seconded by Debbie Ryan Watts and passed with no opposition.      

NEW BUSINESS:

3.  Travelodge Revised Site Plan.  Owen Murphy from Inglesby, Falligant, Horne, Courington & Chisholm presented the revised site plan to the board for their review and comments.  Mr. Murphy asked that the application be amended by changing the owner from Sawyer’s Holdings to Shree Ram Hospitality, LLC.  The Travelodge is constructed with an access driveway into Pooler Square Subdivision.  The owner of the motel has not been able to acquire an easement to use Pooler Square Subdivision for access, so the site plan has been revised to provide access directly onto Continental Boulevard.  Debbie Ryan Watts made a motion to approve the Travelodge revised site plan.  Motion was seconded by Judson Trapnell and passed with no opposition.      

There being no further business to come before the board, a motion of adjournment was made by Joe Harmon and seconded by Tim Lovezzola.
