 NEW BUSINESS: 

  1. Village Quarters Multi-family Parcel Greenspace Plan Review/Approval

Steve Wohlfeil of HGB&D presented the greenspace plan for the Village Quarters Multi-family development.  Mr. Wohlfeil explained that the developer is requesting permission to clear and rough grade the tract of land.  The board approved the greenspace plan for the same project back in January but for the tract across the street.  The site has been timbered over the years and consists mainly of cut-over and selective harvest pine trees.

There are no significant trees on the site, as defined by the Pooler Tree Ordinance.  Mr. Wohlfeil stated that a landscape plan will follow with development and site plan submittals.  Councilwoman Billie Tyler reminded Mr. Wohlfeil that the name “Villages” is still an issue of concern.  With no public comment, Debbie Ryan Watts made a motion to approve the greenspace plan for the Village Quarters Multi-family development.

Motion was seconded by Craig Brewer and passed without opposition. 

  1. Villages, Phase 5B Final Plat Review/Approval.    Kevin Kirsch of Fred Williams Homebuilders presented the final plat of the Villages, Phase 5B to the board for their review and approval for recording of the subdivision plat.  The improvements are complete and have been approved for acceptance by the City of Pooler.  A maintenance bond has been posted in the amount of $13,010.  Debbie Ryan Watts made a motion to approve the final plat of the Villages, Phase 5B.  Motion was seconded by Craig Brewer and passed without opposition.
  1. Discussion of Appendix A, Article III, (F), regarding whether a nonconforming use which is changed to a conforming use shall be permitted to revert to the original or less restrictive use.
