I. Garden Acres, Phases XI, XII and XIII Preliminary Construction Review .

Attorney Bob Galloway presented this request to the board. Chairman Don Taylor questioned if the pump station issue had been resolved. Attorney Galloway stated the developer, Donny Tuten is willing to upgrade the pump station once instructed to do so by the City of Pooler. Chairman Taylor asked the petitioner if he and Mr. Robert Anderson had worked out an agreement regarding access to Mr. Anderson's property. Attorney Galloway assured the board that this is a civil issue and should not be a concern of the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. V. C. Mitchell, an adjacent property owner, was present to oppose Garden Acres, Phases XI, XII, and XIII as proposed by Donny Tuten. He further stated this proposed subdivision would land-lock his property, making it impossible to develop. Again, Attorney Galloway stated access to these tracts of land is a civil issue and if there is in fact an access easement of record, the easement will be designated on the plans. Attorney Ben Ellis concurred. Based on information presented during the public hearing, a motion was made by holly Young to approve preliminary construction plans of Garden Acres, Phases XI, XII, and XIII. Motion was seconded by Billie Tyler and passed without opposition.

2. SBA, Inc. request for a height variance of 125’ to place a 160’ communication tower behind the Food Lion on property owned by PV Shopping Center Partnership Attorney Jonathan Yates of Young, Clement, Rivers & Tisdale, LLP), and George Davis, Acquisition Team Leader for SBA. he., presented this request to the board. He explained the zoning in this area is 1-2, Heavy Industrial, and not in close proximity of residential neighborhoods. This is a monopole and is strategically located allowing multiple communication carriers on the site thus obviating the need for additional towers. There are several large pylon signs ~ the area which would diminish the visual impact of the tower. Mr. Leo McDonald, a resident of Skinner Avenue asked if there would be Tights on the pole and how it would affect his area. Attorney Yates stated his client is also concerned about this issue. He assured the residents along Skinner Avenue that there is a strong possibility it will not have any lights. The proposed communication tower will have to meet FAA (Federal Aviation Agency) regulations. which may require special lighting. A motion was made by Larry Olliff to approve a height variance of 125' to place a 160' communication tower behind Food Lion on property owned by PV Shopping Center Partnership. Motion was seconded by Fleta Pepper and passed without opposition.
