Planning and Zoning Minutes

Feb. 23,1998

 

 

 

The regularly scheduled meeting of the Pooler Planning and Zoning Commission was held on Monday, Feb.23, ~998 at the Pooler City Hall. Members present included: Don Taylor, Fleta Pepper, Gay Tucciarone, Mark Revenew, and Chairman Robert Drewry. Councilman Jim Poteet, and City Planner, Tim Inglis were also present.

 

Branigar's Request for a "Hardship Waiver" Concerning Pooler's Tree Ordinance.

Chuck Mitchell presented an explanation for this waiver, stating that the Pine Plantation is only tall narrow Georgia Pines that are not beneficial as shade trees. The Godley Tract is estimated to have 300-500 trees per acre with a cost for surveying each tree at  1.2 million dollars. Don Taylor made a motion to grant exemption for the tree survey as long as the hardwoods were saved and Branigar will provide an overlay of the planted pines. Motion was seconded by Fleta Pepper and passed without opposition. It was stated that recommendation does not have to come before Pooler Council.

 

2.          Ping Tyner's Request to Subdivide a 10.2 Acre Tract into Two 5.01 Acre Tracts on the North Side of Old Louisville Road: Ping Tyner stated the two lots being divided will be 16A & 16B with one of the lots being 'Gift Deeded' to his daughter. Lot 16B is not on a public road therefore requiring an access easement. Mr. Tyner stated he will provide a 60' access road to the rear property. Currently the plat shows no designated widths of the drainage easements. Don Taylor made a motion to recommend approving the subdivision contingent upon supplying easements to the City/County maintained Canals with the appropriate widths being included on the plat. And that a signature block be included to prevent future easement disputes. Motion was seconded by Mark Revenew and passed without opposition.

 

3.          Clem Burnsed's Request to Subdivide 3.68 Acre Tract Into Lot A & B: Robert

Drewry motioned to table the item due to the fact that the owner was not present to respond to their concerns. Concerns such as the Body Shop located on the property line, the new water well location, and who the true property owner is. Motion to table was seconded by Fleta Pepper and passed with no opposition.

 

4    Discussion of Proposed Zoning Changes: Due to Ms. Carver, Zoning Administrator not being able to attend this item was tabled until she returns.

 

There being no further business to come before the board, a motion of adjournment was made by Fleta Pepper and seconded by Mark Revenew.

 

Respectfully submitted,
