PUBLIC HEARINGS:
 

1.      Mel-Rae, L.C. request for a 103’ sign height variance at Red Roof Inn.    Liz Hill of American Tower presented the request for a variance to replace an existing sign with one capable of supporting Triton’s antennas at the Red Roof Inn on the Pooler By-Pass at I-95. The new sign will be 133 feet, the same height as the existing sign, although the wording on the sign itself will be slightly changed.  The antennas will be mounted within the sign’s pole and will not be visible.  The new sign will be placed approximately forty-seven feet to the south of the existing pole.  The facility will be manned and will only be visited monthly for routine maintenance.  The facility will comply with the strict guidelines of the FCC and FAA.   Robert Hill of Triton PCS, Inc. stated that the change out would take approximately a week.  With no public comment, Glenda Champion made a motion to approve the 103’ sign height variance for Mel-Rae, L.C.  Motion was seconded by Craig Brewer and passed without opposition.   

 

2.      Michael & Pamela Hayman’s request to rezone 8.86 acres on Old Louisville Road from RA-L to R-3A.   Since the City of Pooler had received a letter from Mr. Hayman withdrawing his rezoning request, Craig Brewer made a motion to accept this request.  Motion was seconded by Fleta Pepper and passed without opposition.
 

NEW BUSINESS:
 

3.      Godley Station Western Tract Final PUD Review/Approval  Developer Jack Wardlaw presented this project to the board for their review and recommendation.  Mr. Wardlaw stated that the project meets the PUD Development Standards adopted by Branigar for the Godley Station as well as the City of Pooler requirements.  The major difference from this development and the first phases of Godley Villages is this project is a private community with large estate lots, three acres of amenities, larger lagoons and private road systems.  Following some discussion, Fleta Pepper made a motion to approve the PUD Master Plan for the western tract of Godley Station.  Motion was seconded by Glenda Champion and passed without opposition.   

  1. Savannah Quarters Southwest Quadrant Phase IV Final PUD Master Plan Review

and Approval.  Steve Wohlfeil of HGB&D had presented prior to this meeting the Phase IV Final PUD Master Plan to the PUD Review Board for their review and comments.  Phase IV consists of four multi-family residential areas of approximately 185 acres.  The same standards apply for all of the multi-family tracts in the Savannah Quarters with the following exceptions:  the maximum building height in Phase IV is three stories (50’ maximum) and all roads and parking will be privately owned and maintained.  Following some discussion, a motion was made by Craig Brewer to approve the Phase IV Final PUD Master Plan.  Motion was seconded by Glenda Champion and passed without opposition.

  1. Minor Subdivision of a 361.91 acre portion of lands of International Paper Realty

Corporation (Parcels 5 & 6)  Steve Wohlfeil of HGB&D presented the subdivision plat

to the board for their review and comments.  Co-Chairman Larry Olliff questioned the difference in acreage noted on the map and on the title block.  Mr. Wohlfeil stated that the correct acreage is 363.34 acres and the title block needed to be changed to reflect that.  A motion was made by Craig Brewer to approve the minor subdivision of 363.34 acres contingent upon the plat being corrected prior to the council meeting on Monday.  Motion was seconded by Glenda Champion and passed without opposition.

 

There being no further business to come before the board, a motion of adjournment was made by Craig Brewer and seconded by Glenda Champion.
