NEW BUSINESS: 

1.      Danny Sikes’ request to subdivide 1.84 acres into lots A and B on South Rogers Street.  Danny Sikes presented this request to the board for their review and recommendation.  The lots have frontage on south Rogers Street and meet the requirements for a minor subdivision.  With no public comment, Wilson Roberts made a motion to approve the subdividing of a 1.84-acre tract on South Rogers Street into lots
A and B.  Motion was seconded by Don Taylor and passed without opposition. 

2.      Review of revised site plan/landscape plan for Alan Usher’s Office and rental yard at 1399 East Highway 80.   Alan Usher presented a more detailed site plan to the board for their review and recommendation.  Mr. Usher plans to renovate the existing residence to an office and use the rear for a storage yard.  The lot is zoned Light Industrial as well as the adjacent lots on each side.  With no public comment, Larry Olliff made a motion to approve Alan Usher’s site plan for an office and rental yard.  Motion was seconded by Charles Archer and passed without opposition.  Regarding the landscape plan, Dennis Jones questioned the replacement of trees required if Mr. Usher removes two 26” Pecan Trees.  Following some discussion, Charles Archer made a motion to approve the landscape plan with the recommendation that the board review the City of Pooler’s Tree Ordinance after the first of the year.  Motion was seconded by Wilson Roberts and passed without opposition. 

3.      Review of landsape plan for Newell Metts property on Pine Barren Road for The Sadler Group.  Steve Canady has purchased the Mett’s property on Pine Barren Road. He plans to renovate the old home into an office.  The board questioned whether the plan is a landscape plan or a tree harvest plan.  Mrs. Carver explained that Mr. Canady is applying for a Land Disturbing Activity Permit and the plan shows the board whether he is meeting the tree ordinance.  Following some discussion, Wilson Roberts made a motion to approve the tree harvest plan because it meets the requirements of the tree ordinance.  Motion was seconded by Larry Olliff and passed without opposition.     

There being no further business to come before the board, a motion of adjournment was made by Tim Lovezzola and seconded by Charles Archer.
