2.  Bridgewater Subdivision Greenspace Plan Review.   Frank Brunson, one of the developers, presented the greenspace plan to the board.  Mark Revenew questioned if there would be a dedicated access to the cemetery.  Mr. Brunson confirmed access would be dedicated for that purpose.  The board was impressed with layout, openspace and overall design of the subdivision.  A motion was made by Debbie Ryan Watts to approve the greenspace plan for Bridgewater Subdivision.  Motion was seconded by Larry Olliff and passed without opposition.

     

3.  Preliminary Construction Plans of an expansion of Garden Acres Mobile Home Park.

Steve Wohlfeil of HGB&D presented the plans for Mr. Donny Tuten to expand his mobile home park on Rogers Street.  The project was approved for construction of water and sewer facilities last Spring, but construction was held up while wetland issues were addressed.  As a result, there have been some minor changes in the plan.  Drainage and open space requirements have also been addressed.   Downer Davis, secondary engineer for the City of Pooler has reviewed and approved the plans.   Chairman Don Taylor mentioned that some of the trees to be saved are located in the middle of the lots where the manufactured homes would be placed.  Mr. Wohlfeil assured the board if trees are removed on any of the lots, they will be replaced according to the tree ordinance.   Holly Young asked if the new section would be tied into the City’s water and sewer system and the total acreage to be developed?  Mr. Wohlfeil stated the new phase would be tied into the City’s water and sewer system and the total acreage to be developed is approximately 50 acres with 26 lots on 4.5 acres in this first phase.  Mr. Tuten stated future phases would be developed as the market dictates.   Holly Young questioned the ownership of the lift station.  Mr. Wohlfeil stated Mr. Tuten would own and maintain the lift station. With no further comments,  a motion was made by Mark Revenew to approve the construction plans, as well as the greenspace plan.  Motion was seconded by Joe Harmon 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.
