I.   Public hearing on Sophia Radcliff's request for a hardship variance to place a manufactured home on Wildcat Dam Road.  Sophia Radcliff, her son Cyrus and his family were present to answer any questions regarding their medical hardship. Holly Young asked Mr. Radcliff if he would adhere to removing the older mobile home when his mother no longer resides there. Mr. Radcliff stated he would then move the new manufactured home where the older one sits. Holly Young questioned if the utilities would be provided by the City of Pooler. Tonya, sales representative of S & S Housing informed the board members that S & S Housing would be responsible for any improvements to the site. With no opposition from adjacent property owners, a motion was made by Mark Revenew seconded by Fleta Pepper to approve the variance. Motion passed without opposition.

 

2.   Public Hearing on Fred Williams request for a Zoning Map Amendment on a 1.29 acre tract at the intersection of Quacco and Pine Barren Road from C-P (Commercial -Professional~ to R-1A (Single Family Residential Zoning). Debbie Ryan-Watts abstained from discussion and voting on this item. Mr. Williams stated in the application of his plan to include this 1.29 acre tract in his residential subdivision development. With no opposition from adjacent property owners. a motion was made by Joe Harmon and seconded by Mark Revenew to approve the zoning map amendment. Motion passed.

 

3.   Sketch Plan review of "Tietgen Place", a proposed 8-lot subdivision at Oliver and Tietgen Street.  Kirk Thurman, Annette Moody Bryant. owners of the property and Downer Davis of Davis Engineering, Inc., presented this sketch plan to the board. The owners explained the drainage improvements proposed in the area would exceed the benefits of on-site stormwater detention. They are also proposing to provide a 30' drainage easement along the north side of the project for ditch access and maintenance. The developer has met with Shawn McNelly, Street/Drainage Supervisor, regarding existing drainage problems in this area. Bill Nicholson of HGDB submitted some general comments but indicated a more thorough review would be done on the preliminary construction plans. Due to the configuration of this subdivision and the City's need for drainage easements, 14% of this project is being dedicated for the existing ditch widening along the north side of the project. Since the proposed easements exceed requirements of most projects and with this project located in an older section, the owners are requesting the open space requirement be waved. Tim Inglis, Building Inspector, reminded the developers that they still needed to apply for a Land Disturbing Permit. Following more discussion on open space,

Mark Revenew made a motion to approve the sketch plan contingent upon meeting the open space requirements and resolving the drainage issues on the preliminary construction plans. Motion was seconded by Joe Harmon and passed without opposition.

 

Workshop was held after the meeting to discuss the tree ordinance. A final draft will be presented to Mayor and Council and a public hearing will be scheduled.

 

There being no further business to come before the board, a motion of adjournment was made by Joe Harmon and seconded by Fleta Pepper. Motion passed.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Jackie Carver 7oning Administrator
