G
Okay,
all
right
I'm,
Bill,
Partington
I,
live
on
Sawmill
Creek
Road
in
Bluffton
I've
lived
there
about
five
years
now
and
on
a
lot
on
Sawmill
Creek
Road
in
Bluffton,
we
have
a
new
fire
station.
We
have
all
the
commercial
traffic
coming
out
of
Colleton
River,
all
the
lawn
care
trucks
coming
back
and
forth,
and
you
have
Victoria
Bluff
Wildlife
preserved
there
to
serve
by
it
and
a
task
boat
landing
at
the
end
of
it.
G
G
A
A
J
E
A
L
M
L
M
E
M
And
then
again
in
2006,
we
amended
our
impact
fee
ordinance
ordinance
says
to
incorporate
impact
fees
for
a
number
of
different
services,
so
we
are
currently
under
a
2006
impact
fee,
ordinance
with
regard
to
Parks
and
Recreation
roads,
libraries
and
fire.
Okay.
Those
are
the
four
that
we
currently
have
starting
into.
The
legislature
also
requires
us
to
update
these
impact
fees
periodically,
starting
in
2017,
we
commissioned
tishler
Bice
to
conduct
a
study
to
help
us
update
these
fees
2017..
M
Adopted
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
do
that
we
try
to
do
is
enter
into
intergovernmental
agreements
with
municipalities
so
that
we
can
so
that
they
will
enforce
these
fees
for
new
development,
which
can
be
used
to
provide
services
by
the
county,
all
right
so,
for
instance,
pools
bluffton's,
the
huge
Parks
and
Rec
stuff
you
see
down
in
Bluffton.
That
kind
of
stuff
is
paid
for
with
impact
fees,
libraries,
the
fire
stations.
These
things
are
paid
for
with
impact
fees,
so.
M
We
did
not
have
intergovernmental
agreements
with
all
of
the
municipalities
for
the
updated
impact
fees
until
recently,
all
right,
while
we
tried
to
get
those
igas
in
place,
we
brought
forward
text
amendments
to
the
impact
fees
and
Council
considered
those.
Last
year
we
got
through
two
readings
and
the
third
reading
was
held
at
March
28th.
It
was
down
in
St,
Helena
library
and
Council
decided
to
hold
off
on
moving
forward
with
a
third
reading
for
the
impact
fees
that
were
under
consideration
at
that
time,
and
at
that
time
we
were
looking
at
parks
and
rec.
M
We
were
looking
at
fire.
We
were
looking
at
library,
but
we
were
not
bringing
forward
roads
at
that
time,
because
there
wasn't
an
agreement
about
exactly
what
all
what
all
the
projects
should
be.
So
Council
halted
third
reading
of
the
impact
fees
that
we
have
brought
forward.
At
that
time
we
decided
we
would
go
back
to
the
municipalities.
We
would.
M
With
them
to
enter
into
igas,
we
would
agree
on
the
capital
Improvement
project
list,
and
once
we
had
all
that
done,
we
would
bring
forward
the
transportation
impact
these
which
never
even
got
first
and
second
reading.
We
bring
It
Forward
catch
it
up
to
the
third
reading
and
then
kind
of
move
it
all
forward.
Well,
we.
M
We've
come
up
with
agreements
with
regard
to,
with
virtually
all
of
the
municipalities,
all
right.
So
then
we
were
tasked
with
okay.
How
do
we
bring
this
forward?
We
thought
about
it
and
we
thought
that
it
really
didn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
try
to
just
bring
forward
the
transportation
and
then
marry
it
to
the
other
impact
fees
on
third
reading
and
instead
we
would
drop
back
and
bring
all
of
them
forward.
So.
E
M
H
M
Roads,
library
and
fire
impact
fees
right,
that's
what
we're
bringing
forward.
You
may
have
seen
reference
to
the
school
impact
fee
in
the
study
that
is
not
going
forward.
It
was
included
in
your
packet
I
think,
simply
because
we
commissioned
tischler
bikes
to
do
it,
they
did
it
and-
and
it's
in
your
packages
for
that
purpose
alone-
EMS
I'm,
not
sure
where
we
are
with
the
EMS.
That
was
that
was
put
on
hold
too,
but
we're
not
just
everybody
knows
we
are
not
bringing
forward
A
Renewed
School
impact
fee.
That
is
not
happening.
M
M
M
The
the
schools,
the
municipalities
to
agree
to-
and
it
was
just
simply
Council,
deemed
it
unfair
charge
an
impact
fee
for
a
guy
who
built
a
house
on
one
side
of
the
street
that
was
in
the
unincorporated
area
of
the
county
and
not
charge
an
impact
fee
on
the
other
side
of
the
street.
For
somebody
who
was
in
a
municipality
into
heaven,
so
they
they
thought
that
was
inaccurate.
M
D
D
M
And
so
we
have
we
have.
We
have
seen
some
igas
with
municipalities
that
have
been
adopted
already.
Some
are
in
the
process
of
being
adopted
and
with
Hardeeville
we
we're
in
the
process
of
working
that
out,
but
they've
agreed
to
them.
So
we
just
need
to
hammer
out
the
terms
all
right,
all
right,
very
good,
yeah.
A
E
Q
School
impact
fees
and
the
EMS
impact
fees
in
a
little
more
detail.
What
we're
trying
to
do
with
both
of
those
is
eliminate
a
mistake
that
is
not
a
mistake,
but
an
issue
over
time
that
we
have
already
felt
the
old
effects
of,
and
that
is
where
the
county
collects
a
fee.
But
municipalities
don't
all
of
these
impact
fees,
if
you
think
of
impact
fees,
when
you
do
a
study,
it
is
a
snapshot
in
time
with
a
forward.
Look
at
needs:
population,
growth,
population,
Center.
So
anytime,
you
look
at
a
study.
It
is
a.
Q
It
is
a
custom
one
time
in
that
time
frame
that
time
period
shot
at
what
we're
going
to
need
as
far
as
resources
to
pay
for
facilities
over
a
10-year
period,
and
then
we
are
to
update
these
every
five
years.
So
once
we
get
this
done,
we
get
all
of
our
in
igas
in
place
every
five
years
we
will
be
updating
this
plan.
What
we've
had
with,
in
particular
libraries
and
Parks
and
Rec,
is
some
music
municipalities
have
not
been
participating
in
that
since
2006..
Q
So
that's
why
they're
not
in
here
in
an
effort
to
simplify
a
complicated
ordinance
I
have
I'm
using
the
backup
and
I
will
refer
to
the
pages
of
the
PDF
backup,
instead
of
doing
a
separate
presentation,
I'm
just
going
to
go
through
the
backup,
so
anybody
watching
on
television
can
download
it
get
the
PDF.
They
can
go
right
to
the
page
number
that
I'm
going
to
reference
and
then
they
can
follow
along
when
they
either
watch
it
live
or
when
they
watch
it.
As
a.
Q
Q
On
page
16
of
the
backup,
that's
the
the
AIS,
in
particular,
in
the
fiscal
impact
I
want
to
start
with
the
10-year
impact
fee.
Revenue
projections
by
impact
fee
bucket
each
account
I'm
going
to
refer
to
as
a
bucket
Road
impact
fee
facilities
North
over
10
years.
It's
29.8
million
Road
impact
fee
eroded
facilities,
South
is
37.7
million
Parks
and
Rec.
North
is
4.2
million
Parks
and
Rec.
South
is
3.6
million
libraries
North
3.5
million
library,
South
3.3
million
fire
North
6.3
million,
and
fire
South
10,
almost
10.2
million.
Q
So
there
are,
if
you
get
into
the
study,
there
are
a
lot
of
different
ways
that
the
the
consultant
came
up
with
these
numbers.
We
have
a
working
CIP
list
when
you
get
into
libraries
and
Parks
and
Rec.
It
has
to
do
with
population
growth.
What
we
have,
what
the
demand
will
be
square
footage
of
different
types
of
facilities.
Q
If
you
get
into
the
study
it's
about
250
260
pages
and
it
explains
where
they
started
and
how
they
came
up
with
these
numbers.
The
tables
that
we're
going
to
go
through
by
bucket
are
how
we're
going
to
go
about
collecting
these
over
the
next
10
years.
Any
questions
on
that
before
I
go
to
the
tables
all
right,
so
I'm
going
to
go
to
page
33.
F
Q
Have
a
number
of
different
service
areas
and
they
Max
match
our
tax
districts,
our
100
200,
300
400,
so
they're
they're
a
lot
of
different
accounts,
a
lot
of
different
fees
for
those
different
service
districts.
We
have
narrowed
those
down
under
this
study
to
to
North
and
South
the
record
or
excuse
me,
the
residential.
Q
Q
Q
Q
About
if
you
look
at
the
North
and
South,
we
say
well,
why
is
the
north
now
more
than
the
South?
Well,
it
has
to
do
with
the
anticipated
demand,
the
need
and
then
the
number
of
projected
new
bills
like
the
population
growth.
So
if
you
have
an
area,
that's
growing
very
rapidly,
you're
going
to
spread
that
demand
out
over
more
homes,
which
means
the
house
or
the
fee
per
house
goes
down
and
that's
all
again
explained
in
the
study.
And
that's
that's
why
there's
that
difference?
R
Sure
so,
if,
if
you're,
looking
at
North
and
South
and
the
residential
aspects
of
it
and
the
demand
is
a
key
role
in
determining
the
the
fee,
then
I'm
I'm
not
I'm,
not
following
you,
because
the
demand
as
far
as
the
number
of
people
in
the
house,
the
most
of
the
growth
is
know.
Ourself
are
growing
so.
R
Q
588
South
1006
North,
so
the
issue
that
we've
had
north
of
the
broad
is
we
have
a
number
of
Master
plans.
Let's
say
Burton
Wells.
Some
of
these
other
master
planned
areas,
they're
not
built
out
and
the
reason
that
they're
not
built
out
kind
of
like
what
Buckwalter
has
been
built
out
is
because
there's
been
no
impact
fee
collection.
The
r100
district
impact
fee
is
81
dollars
per
new
house.
Q
Q
The
broad
have
been
built
an
example
of
that
right
now,
I
was
going
through
look
at
impact
fee
accounts
today.
The
Bluffton,
Parks
and
Rec
impact
fee
account
has
nine
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
it,
which
sounds
like
an
exorbitant
amount
of
money.
Well,
when
we
about
five
or
six
years
ago,
when
we
did
estimates
on
what
it
would
cost
to
build
out,
Buckwalter
a
little
over
nine
million
dollars
was
the
price
tag,
but
we
just
had
that
re-quoted
last
fall
in
November
and
the
price
tag
came
in
at
just
under
22
million
dollars.
Q
So
we're
going
to
finish
a
number
of
ball
fields,
we're
going
to
finish
things
out
at
Buckwalter,
and
it's
going
to
cost
us
all
of
that
nine
and
a
half
million
dollars
where
we've
been
collecting
81
dollars
per
house
in
the
r100
area,
not
much
more
than
that
on.
Ladies
Island,
we've
got,
you
know
a.
N
Q
Q
We
have
Southern,
you
have
Buckwalter
Park
expansion,
mcrally
expansion,
defusky
Parks,
outdoor
aquatic
splash,
pads,
Bluffton,
Center
expansion.
That's
the
phase
three
then
passive,
Parks
development,
construction,
Community,
Center
expansion,
Recreation
field,
and
then,
if
you
look
at
north
of
the
broad
it's
a
much
more
exhaustive
list
now
I
do
want
to
say
that
not
all
of
these
will
be
funded
in
Impact
fees.
There
was
a
prioritized
list,
it's
all
in
the
study
of
how
they
came
up
based
on
the
growth,
because
you
can
only
pay
for
Demand
with
impact
fees.
Q
H
Q
S
S
H
Q
S
Q
H
Q
But
the
total
we're
going
to
have
to
make
up
that
difference
if
we
build
out
everything
over
10
years.
So
this
is
the
proportional
share
of
those
people
who
are
coming.
It
is
not
they're
not
paying,
for
you
know,
they're
not
paying
for
somebody
else's
responsibility.
This
is
just
the
impact
of
those
people
coming
in
that
in
that
10-year
period.
Okay,.
Q
E
F
F
Q
J
J
J
Q
All
we
have
igas
either
in
the
works
first
reading
or
already
passed
for
all
of
these.
That's
why
we're
bringing
them
forward
now
right,
so
the
South,
Parks
and
Rec
is
the
3.6,
because
if
you
look
at
that
list
really
what
we
have
is
the
Buckwalter
expansion
and
then
Aquatics
needs
and
then,
if
we
want
to
expand
some
of
the
other
CIP
Projects
South
of
the
broad.
That's
where
we
get
that.
Q
Q
Q
Q
E
Q
Q
A
chart
there
we
go,
so
we
have
four
different
types
of
development
that
we
will
put
any
development
that
comes
in.
We
will
put
it
in
the
most
appropriate
category,
retail
north
of
the
broad.
This
is
per
thousand
square
feet
of
floor
area
and
it's
heated
floor
area.
This
is
how
we
calculate
it
both
for
residential
and
non-residential
forty
five
hundred
thirteen
dollars
for
retail
per
thousand
square
feet
office
service,
2243
Industrial.
Q
That
would
be
industrial
warehousing
things
of
that
nature,
factories,
that's
nine
thousand,
and
five
and
institutional,
which
is
2089
per
thousand
square
feet.
South
per
thousand
square
feet
is
5024
for
retail
24.97
for
office
and
service.
1007
is
industrial
and
then
2326
for
institutional,
so
Road
impact
fees
are
a
little
different
than
just
by
population.
It
goes
off
of
the
trip
generation
tables
and
the
number
of
trips.
By
use
you
get
into
the
backup
material.
There
is
a
newer
study
than
the
2017
for
roads.
Q
They
Revisited
that
once
we
got
knee
deep
in
the
IGA
discussions,
the
municipalities
had
requests
for
specific
projects
to
be
added
the
CIP
list.
All
of
that
was
put
on
the
list.
We
sent
it
back
to
the
consultant.
They
recalculated
it.
That's
why
there
are
two
studies
in
the
backup,
so
the
road
one
was
completed,
I
think
in
2022
last
September
or
October,
and
it
updated
these
fees.
That's
what
we
were
waiting
on
if
I
have
any
questions
on
roads,
yes,
ma'am.
D
Q
Q
To
construction
cost
by
category
so
in
this
new
one,
yes,
every
year,
we
will
update
that
by
the
the
enr
and
I
will
say
that
the
Consumer
Price
Index,
that
we've
seen
inflationary
growth
on
is,
is
really
not
comparable
to
this
one
of
the
highest
markers,
I.
Think
and
I'm,
not
an
economist,
but
one
of
the
highest
markers
is
food
and
consumables,
which
would
not
really
apply.
Q
Pages
43
44:
that's
your
project,
lists,
page
43
and
44
of
the
backup,
the
general
project
list,
so
that
you
can
see
those
that's
the
updated.
This
is
what
was
included
in
the
second
study,
and
this
is
what
those
collections
were
based
on
and
again
Road
facilities.
North
10-year
toll
is
29.8
million
and
Road
Facility
South
is
37.7.
Q
So
and
again,
we're
not
we're
not
funding
a
hundred
percent
of
these
projects.
These
are
proportional,
it's
a
proportional
share
of
those
who
are
in
who
are
adding
to
impact
by
building
new
homes
and
moving
here
in
the
period
of
time
in
which
this
ordinance
will
be,
in
effect,
all
right,
Library
fees.
On
page,
yes,.
I
O
A
O
This
is,
and
we've
got
this
on
most
of
the
major
corridors
on
South
abroad
and
North
abroad.
So
same
thing,
we
don't
know
exactly
where
we're
going
to
need
access
roads
right,
but
as
development
occurs
or
if
we
need
to
fill
in
where
development
has
met
up
with
other
development,
anything
along
that
so
or
roads.
In
order
to
qualify
for
impact
fees,
you
have
to
have
safety
and
capacity.
O
E
H
O
O
It
was
perfect
time
for
planning
because
we
caught
this
on
impact
fees
on
future
sales
tax
and
then
on
our
long-range
Trend
long
range
plan
with
last
they
had
to
do
a
five
year
update,
so
we
caught
everything
so
you'll
see
a
lot
of
overlap
and
as
Chuck
mentioned,
impact
fees
is
not
going
to
pay
for
all
these
Road
improvements,
but
it's
a
another
tool
in
the
toolbox,
so
usually
on
a
road
project
and
building
project.
There's
multiple
funding
sources-
and
this
is
just
one
of
the
funding
sources.
Q
This
is
only
for
the
impact
of
those
folks
who
have
are
projected
to
move
here
right,
we're
not
putting
anything
except
for
that
impact
and
accounting
from
those
vehicle
trips
of
those
people
in
this
time
frame
who
are
going
to
move
here,
we're
not
putting
any
undue
burden
on
them.
That's
why
it's
I'm
going
to
say
only
only
37
million
dollars
when.
E
O
H
O
Sales
tax
lined
up,
or
we
don't
have
something
else
lined
up,
but
we
can
get
started
on
the
engineering
ahead
of
time
because
we
have
it
listed
on
the
list
and
in
coordinating
with
the
municipalities,
we
have
a
pretty
substantial
list
north
and
south,
and
we
chose,
as
we
were,
pairing
down
like
okay,
the
first
time
it
was.
The
fee
was
ridiculous
and
everybody's,
like
that's
not
impossible,
but
what
could
we
live
with
and
what
was
palatable
and
we
chose
to
keep
more
projects
on
the
list
with
less
amount
of
impact
fees,
as
the.
O
A
A
Ask
some
class
racking
my
brain
trying
to
remember
but
I
remember
before
we
were
talking
about
impact
Visa,
it's
more
for
getting
things
shovel
ready
than
we
have
the
other
funding
source
coming
in
I
was
new
on
the
council,
like
four
of
you
are
and
I
understood,
none
of
that
for
like
six
months.
Thank.
O
Q
Yeah,
and
that
goes
across
the
board
right,
we
get
grants
for
parks
and
rec.
We
get
a
and
H
Tax,
we
get
it.
So
it's
a
piece
of
a
much
larger
picture:
okay,
so
Library
fees
and
again
this
is
the
impact.
If
you
look
in
the
study,
if
you're
ever
having
trouble
going
to
sleep,
you
can
break
that
out
and
read
it.
Q
They
project
in
the
Bluffton
area
needing
10,
000
additional
square
feet
and
that's
what
this
is.
These
fees
are
predicated
on.
North,
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
the
the
study
said.
The
square
footage
needs
are,
but
it's
along
those
lines
so
north
of
the
broad
Library
fees
for
a
1250
square,
foot,
house,
273
dollars,
I'm,
sorry,
50,
50.,.
Q
Yeah,
that's
it
so
1250
square
foot
house
north
of
the
broad
273
dollars,
12
25,
100
square
foot,
house
466
dollars
north
of
the
broad
south
of
the
broad
1250
is
189
and
2500
is
316
dollars,
so
fire
fees
are
sort
of
a
different
animal.
This
is
on
page
56.,
and
this
is
one
where
the
footnotes
are
really
important.
If
you
don't
mind,
go
to
page
57,
first
I
think
it
would
be
easier
to
explain
edu's
there.
You
go
right
there.
S
Q
Q
E
Q
Q
Development
determining
the
fire
hazard
level
of
development
and
apply
the
fee
schedule
per
1
000
square
feet
of
development
under
the
table
that
we
just
looked
at
the
first
table.
Fire
facilities,
development
impact
fee
for
non-residential,
assigning
a
fee
of
953
dollars
for
each
EDU
or
fraction
needed
thereof
in
the
Bluffton,
fired,
Service,
District
and
1178
dollars
for
each
edu
in
the
North
Beaufort
in
the
north
fire
district.
So
if
we
go
back
to
page
57.
Q
You
between,
where
it
says
up
to
one
thousand
and
one
thousand
one
to
five
thousand.
You
would
put
a
plus
sign
in
between
each
of
those
boxes,
so
low
Hazard
is
non-combustible.
Medium
Hazard
is
combustible
and
high
Hazard.
The
way
I
like
to
look
at
it
is
it's
explosive,
a
fireworks
Factory.
So
we
really
almost
never
have
a
high
Hazard
and
we
very
very
rarely
have
low
hazard
even
a
completely
non-combustible
building.
If
you
use
it
for
storage,
something
is
going
to
be
combustible
in
that
building.
Q
So
when
you
look
up
in
the
fire
code,
you
know
the
different
hazards
and
ranges.
Typically
it's
the
medium.
So
we
would
take
that
multiplier.
The
edu
953
for
Bluffton
for
up
to
1
000
in
medium,
we
would
do
1.5
plus
1.2,
for
each
edu
between
one
thousand
one
and
five
thousand
plus
0.75
edu
from
5001
to
10
0001,
Plus,
0.15
edus
for
anything
over
ten
thousand.
Q
Q
In
very
broad
terms,
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
sort
of
a
comparison
and
I
really
hate
to
do
this,
but
people
want
to
know
whether
it's
going
up
or
going
down
well
I'm,
going
to
compare
whether
it's
going
up
or
going
down,
but
what
it
represents
is
different
because
again,
each
one
of
these
impact.
These
studies
is
a
snapshot
in
time.
So
you
can't
go
back
to
2006
and
say
well,
you
know
and
compare
those
they're
very
different,
but
everybody
wants
to
know.
Is
it
going
up
or
is
it
going
down?
It's.
Q
R
Q
And
to
show
you
how
far
down
in
the
weeds
we
could
get
with
this,
the
just
the
fire
feed.
Ladies
island
is
633
Port
Royals,
479,
St
Helena
633
lobikos
181.
So
you
can
see
when
you
start
adding
these
up.
You
would
have
to
do
a
house
in
a
specific
district.
Add
them
all
up
and
compare
that
so
I
did
an
average
of
all
of
those,
the
north
of
the
broad
that
was
for,
let's
see
here
so.
U
Q
Q
Q
H
Q
S
Q
C
Q
Okay,
there
you
go
right
there,
that's
the
table,
okay,
so
Ami,
and
for
the
sake
of
time,
I
can
say
that
the
Ami
numbers
right.
It's
based
on
the
number
of
wage
earners
in
a
house,
15
years
or
older,
all
right
and
then
the
more
wage
earners
you
have,
the
higher
the
Ami
gets.
So
the
categories
where
we
provide
discounts.
If
you
are
over
80
percent
Ami,
you
get
no
discount.
If
you
are
60
to
80,
you
get
a
60
discount.
Q
H
Q
Q
What
we
we
do
have
we
have
an
application
for
that
they
provide
us
their
last
year.
Tax
return,
pay
stub,
it's
all
done
very
confidentially
and
staff
go
through
and
calculate
this,
and
as
long
as
money
is
available
in
that
housing
fund,
we
will
credit
them
if
they
fall
in
that
category,
that's
on
an
individual
basis
and
there
is
no
following
of
that
project.
It's
paid
if.
Q
Five
years,
what
not
they
get
it
now,
let's
talk
about
the
developer,
building
multi-family,
that's
very
different.
What
we
will
do
is
enter
into
an
agreement
or
they
will
enter
into
an
agreement
with
us
and
Define
how
many
units
what
the
Ami
percentage
they
want
to
get
to
and
then
we
require
either
or
both
a
signed
agreement
with
the
county
and
deed
restrictions
over
time
to
ensure
that
rents
are
held
to
30
percent
of
their
income
based
on
that
Ami
level,
so
it
would
be
60
of
Ami.
Q
C
E
Q
So
there
are
credits
that
can
be
received
if
they
want
to
put
in
a
traffic
light.
If
a
developer
wants
to
put
something
in
that
the
county
otherwise
would
have
been
putting
in
anyway,
they
can
say
look
we
want
to
get
this
project
going,
but
we
want
you
to
research
it,
but
we
don't
want
to
hold
up
our
project
until
you
know
you,
you
guys
come
up
with
the
number
and
we
reach
an
agreement
on
this.
Q
We
will
pay
the
whole
amount
in
protest
or,
if
there's
a
discrepancy
of
a
credit
or
something
of
that
nature
right.
Something
was
built
back
there
in
the
1970s,
but
it
was
torn
down
in
the
80s
and
I
can't
prove
that
it
was
there
but
I'm
going
to
pay
somebody
to
do
the
research
and
come
up
with
proof
that
it
was
there
great.
You
can
get
your
permit.
If
you
pay
us
pay
it
in
the
protest
and
then
once
we
clear
it
up,
we
will
refund
the
money.
Q
A
A
Did
get
it
done?
I
know
it's
hard
working
with
municipalities
and
getting
the
lines
of
communication
and
coming
to
medium
ground
to
get
it
signed,
but
I
know
what
it
was
like
when
we
were
going
back
ahead
of
time
when
we
were
trying
to
move
forward
before
we
move
forward.
So
I
appreciate
your
guys's
work
on
that
this
does
have
to
go
to
council
if
we
want
to
move
it
forward.
So
I
will
look
for
a
recommendation
for
that.
I.
A
E
A
O
All
right,
this
one's
pretty
straightforward,
first
of
all,
see
his
construction
engineering
and
inspection
so
just
to
make
sure
what
we're
paying
for
what
we
get.
So
this
is
year,
six
rejuvenator
two.
Let
me
explain
some
of
these
terms
we'll
be
talking
this
jargon
all
the
time
so
sometimes
putting
it
back
in
late
terms
is
difficult
for
us.
Engineers
rejuvenator
is
just
basically
an
application
that
we
put
on
good
asphalt
to
keep
it
good
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
So
it's
part
of
our
Paving
lead.
O
We
do
rare,
we
put
regular
asphalt.
Then
we
also
have
applications
where
we
put
this
rejuvenator.
This
is
part
of
our
Five-Year
Plan,
so
we
have
a
five-year
plan
that
we
work
through
in
partnership
with
CPC.
So
this
is
Paving
on
our
county-owned
roads,
and
then
we
also
have
a
commitment
for
CPC
that
we
have
spend
so
much
on
dot
paper
attempt
this
is
for
a
bid
that
went
out
for
year
six,
which
year
six
as
part
of
our
plan,
is
emotionally
rejuvenation.
O
A
A
I
A
C
T
That's
where
I
came
good
afternoon
Council,
my
name
is
Eric
Larson
I'm,
your
captain
projects
director
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you
today.
I
will
try
to
explain
this,
and
if
you
get
two
kind
of
questions
that
too
complicated
I'm
turning
it
over,
we
had
two
companies
proposed.
You
see
that
Castillo
and
Company
and
Kimberly
horn,
and
there
was
three
members
on
our
committee
on
the
selection
committee
that
reviewed
their
proposals
and
did
interviews
and
those
are
listed
there
on
the
evaluators.
T
The
possible
points
were
300
out
of
this
possible
300
points,
and
so
Kimberly
horn
scored
a
261
versus
200..
Now
what
we
did
is
these:
were
these
projects,
the
one
you
just
voted
on
previously
in
this
project
we
put
out
together
as
a
package
and
so
you're,
seeing
this
as
two
action
out
of
these
Institute
project,
but
it
was
actually
one
selection
process
for
these
Consultants
request:
yeah.
Okay,
thank
you.
S
W
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Stephanie
imagine
past
Parks
manager
for
the
council
members.
The
these
both
of
these
properties
went
through
a
conceptual
planning
process
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
so
we
got
feedback
from
the
public
and
created
the
plan.
Based
on
that
feedback
took
that
feedback
back
out
to
the
citizens
did
open
houses
on
or
near
the
properties
received
additional
feedback
to
analyze
the
plans.
So
then
we
took
the
conceptual
plans
out
to
the
phase
two
planning
which
is
actually
creating
the
Civil,
a
e
construction
documents.
W
So
what
you
see
is
the
darker
line
is
actually
a
trail,
so
both
of
these
properties
will
have
a
parking
area.
A
gate
Pineview
will
have
a
restroom.
Bailey
does
not,
but
Bailey
has
golf
cart
parking,
because
that
was
something
the
community
wanted
and
then
there's
going
to
be
bollards
that
separate
the
parking
lot
from
the
trail,
so
that
people
can't
take
their
vehicles
and
drive
the
trails
and
then
the
trail
itself
is
going
to
be
a
multi-use
trail
or
bikers
hikers
Walkers,
joggers,
dog,
walkers
bird
watchers.
W
What
have
you
so
it's
going
to
be
wide
enough
to
be
able
to
accommodate
two-way
traffic.
We
try
not
to
do
a
single-use
trail,
because
we
have
so
many
people
of
so
many
different
interests
in
the
county,
and
so
we
do
have
people
who
like
to
take
their
trail
riding
bikes
out
on
the
trails
that
will
be
possible.
But
then
we
also
have
people
who
like
to
take
it
a
little
slower
and
want
to
stop
and
watch
birds.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
we
accommodate
everybody's
needs.
W
W
We're
actually
yes,
yes,
so
once
we're
under
contract,
they
said
that
they
would
take
about
I,
think
eight
months
to
con
to
do
the
planning
and
then
permitting
is
always
kind
of
an
iffy
issue.
Sometimes
that
can
take
a
couple
months.
Sometimes
that
can
take
eight
months
so
we're
hoping
that
because
of
the
low
impact
and
very
little
structures
on
these
properties,
you
know
these
are
conservation
lands
and
so
we're
trying
to
open
them
up
to
the
public,
but
retain
that
conservation
nature.
W
W
A
U
U
I
recommend
you
go

I
recommend
you
go
there.
If
you
don't,
if
you've,
never
really
experience
mountain
biking
trail
the
fastest,
growing,
High,
School
sport
in
the
country.
It's
exploding,
not
only
the
country,
but
in
South
Carolina
you
can
Google
South
Carolina
mountain
bike,
League
I
have
98
signatures
and
the
heading
is
says
hope
for
mountain
biking,
trails
in
Beaufort,
South,
Carolina
and
most
of
the
towns.
U
They
they
put
their
name
and
they
put
their
city.
Most
of
them
are
Beaufort
South,
Carolina,
90
of
them
are
the
very
first
one
is
Savannah

Second,
one
is

Second
one.
Third,
one
is
Goldsboro
North
Carolina,
then
Port,
Royal
and
then
a
bunch
of
Beaufort
and
it's
going
on
daily
I
wasn't
at
the
natural
resource
committee
two
years
ago,
I
didn't
know
what
was
coming
up.
That's
when
it
was
approved
for
the
Pine
View
I.
Think
it's
about
two
miles
of
Trails
I
do
have
a
proposal.
U
I
made
a
couple
changes
the
only
thing
that
was
in
there
Jermaine
to
Pine.
You
was
a
suggestion
of
four
miles
and
at
the
natural
resource
committee
two
years
ago,
County
County
staff
I
believe
it
was
Mr
Greenway,
but
I
could
be
mistaken,
said
that
you
know
they
should
be
putting
a
truckload
of
dirt
in
there
don't
be
hauling
dirt
in
there
that
along
that
line,
but
you
know
whitmore's,
nobody
brought
in
a
truck
load
of
dirt.
U
So
no,
you
know
you
respect
the
nature
that
basically
Pine
Island
next
to
San
Helena
I,
bicycle
Pine,
View,
I,
bicycle
Pine,
View,
a
month
before
it
was
sold
and
I
also
applied
Buckingham
Plantation
on
Joe
Fraser,
Road,
Pine
Island
I
biked
about
four
years
ago.
There
was
no
gate
across
the
dirt
road
and
the
application
they
put
that
it's
been
gated
since
the
late
1800s,
which
is
it's
not
accurate
at
all.
U
Time,
I
mountain
bike,
I,
never
came
across
a
wheelchair
or
a
horse.
Heck
I
could
be
in
a
wheelchair
one
day.
I've
come
across
dogs,
Runners
and
Walkers
bikers
and
to
wrap
this
up
the
trail,
the
people
for
this
contract.
They
look
very
experienced
one
caught.
My
curiosity
in
Cobb,
County
I
forget
the
name
of
it.
He
mentioned
it.
It
didn't
look
like
hitting
mountain
bikers
rails,
but
one
was
some
steel
and
concrete
boardwalks.
U
It
was
quite
interesting
and
connected
to
the
Beltline
in
Atlanta
I'd,
like
the
minute
line,
but
not
the
other
trail
that
connects
to
it,
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say
so.
Other
people
can
speak
is
oh
I,
have
the
copies?
I
have
four
three
three
staple
copies
and
one
loose
I
printed
about
a
week
ago.
So
before
this
agenda
came
out,
I
apologize
I
was
late.
U
A
U
S
T
A
D
R
So
over
the
years
now,
we've
had
pickleball
folks
come
before
us
who
are
requesting
a
constant
system
and
getting
forced
to
play
on
and
they've
been
moving
around
the
around
the
city
and
around
the
county
trying
to
play
here
and
there.
So
to
put
it
to
put
these
eight
courts
in
word
and
well,
I
think
is
on
a
suffice,
their
very
class
four,
adequate
Playing
Fields,
but
I
have
a
question
Eric.
R
T
Yeah
I
included
just
a
drawing
from
the
construction
documents
to
kind
of
show
you
the
layout,
if
you're
familiar
with
Martin
Wells
you're
in
the
parking
lot
facing
the
building,
you
have
the
senior
center
on
the
right.
It's
in
a
separate
building,
that's
connected
by
catwalk
right.
The
lawn
behind
the
senior
center
Center
is
a
location,
hey.
R
T
A
T
A
A
O
Need
for
that
yeah
absolutely
so!
This
is
something
that
we've
done
in
other
Arenas
and
stormwater
traffic
transportation
and
see
we
have
an
on-call
contract,
so
we
do
a
pre-qualification
of
several
vendors
they
submit.
In
this
case
we
had
five
and
we
selected
one
other,
depending
on
the
workload
we
made
sure
to
let
one
or
multiples
what
it
helps
us
do
once
we
have
them
pre-selected
and
we
have
a
work
order
come
up.
We
can
ask
them
to
get
a
free
and
scope
and
we
can
expedite
the
procurement
process.
O
So
we
don't
know
exactly
what
services
they'll
be
performing
at
this
very
second,
but
as
those
requests
come
we'll
get
that
to
them,
depending
on
the
procurement
limit
of
that
work,
order,
it'll
either
come
back
it'll,
be
under
administrator's
Authority
or
come
back
to
committee
or
cancel
depending
on
that.
But
in
this
what
we
envision
is
first
here
for
them
to
look
at
improving
operational
efficiencies
and
reduce
program
costs
in
their
solid
waste.
But.
O
C
O
So
they're
they're
on
the
on
the
Shelf
they're,
not
charging
anything
until
we
issue
them
a
work
order,
so
we
for
program
purposes
and
budgeted
purpose
just
for
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
Professional
Services,
whether
we
use
that
or
not.
If
we
use
it
it's
there,
if
we
don't
use
it
again,
it's
in
an
Enterprise
fund,
so
those
funds
stay
there
and
we
roll
it
over
the
next
year.
Okay,.
A
A
E
P
You
can
see
of
coastal
fortifications
in
Port
Royal
sound
beginning
in
the
mid
16th
century.
It
also
represents
the
closing
chapter
of
America's
coastal
defense
system
before
the
dawn
of
air
power.
Port
Fremont
is
an
example
of
the
most
advanced
military
technology
of
its
time.
It
would
parallel
the
B-17
and
aircraft
carrier
of
World
War
II.
The
F-35
of
today
Fort
Fremont
was
an
important
part
of
the
Beaufort
culture
very
similar
to
Paris
Island
and
the
Marine
Corps
Air
Base.
Today.
N
N
It
became
the
first
capital
of
Florida
and
they
explored
the
back
country
from
this
location
for
more
than
a
century,
with
the
object
of
building
a
highway
from
This
Magnificent
Harbor
to
Mexico
City.
So
the
sound
was
known
to
the
Spaniards.
It
was
known
to
the
French,
who
actually
got
here
first
and
follow
and
created
the
first
Protestant
colony
in
the
New
World
on
Paris
Island
over
my
shoulder
and
that
colony
was
a
failure.
The
Spaniards
replaced
them.
N
It
was
part
of
Spanish
Florida
when
the
English
arrived
150
years
later,
and
this
was
became
as
a
consequence,
a
Battleground
in
the
18th
century,
between
Spanish
interests
in
Florida
and
Saint
Augustine
and
the
English
colony
in
Carolina
and
in
Charleston
and
back
and
forth.
These
wars
went
many
of
them,
Naval
Wars,
many
of
them,
employing
as
all
the
sailors
Knew
by
then
the
magic
of
Port
Royal
South.
When
the
Civil
War
came,
Confederates
defended
the
harbor,
but
it
was
basically
indefensible
against
large
Naval
forces.
N
in
a
four-hour
Cannon
Aid,
which
would
have
been
deafening
from
where
we're
sitting
Was
Heard
for
miles
from
Savannah.
Nearly
to
Charleston
it
was
called
The
Day
of
the
big
gun
shoot
during
the
Civil
War.
This
Harbor
that
we're
looking
at
was
filled
with
ships.
It
would
be
hundreds
of
ships
in
this
Harbor
there
was
a
thousand
foot
dock
with
a
railroad
on
top
off
of
Hilton
Head.
N
F
After
the
Civil
War
we're
going
to
see
a
massive
change
in
technology,
that's
going
to
revolutionize
the
military.
During
the
Civil
War,
we
had
Ironclad
ships,
we
had
rifled
cannons,
but
they
were
all
made
out
of
iron
and
they
were
not
terribly
effective,
but
its
technology
is
going
to
change
after
the
Civil
War.
We're
going
to
see
steel
produced
and
steel
is
much
harder.
So
now
we
have
a
new
material
law
to
make
armor
out
of
for
ships.
F
So
we
can
have
these
armored
ships
made
with
steel
and
a
much
more
resistance
to
the
shot,
because
I
have
steel.
I
can
make
stronger
barrels
for
my
guns.
I
can
rifle
and
machine
these
much
better
and
the
rifling
is
the
spirals
that
are
cutting
the
barrel.
That
allows
it
to
shoot
further
with
more
accuracy,
and
we
can
also
now
have
breech
loading
guns
that
can
lock
from
behind.
So
I
can
load
my
gun
from
behind
I.
Don't
have
to
go
to
the
old
black
powder.
Muzzle
loading
Cannon
head
before
now.
F
I
can
fire
much
more
rapidly
if
I
compare
the
gun
of
1890
to
The
Guns
of
1860
for
the
same
caliber
same
diameter,
gun
of
the
1890
gun
will
be
able
to
fire.
Projectile
is
four
times:
heavier
can
shoot
it
three
times.
Further,
can
put
it
in
with
greater
precision
and
can
put
it
through
much
more
armor
than
anything
we
had
in
1860s
World
difference.
F
A
military
historian,
ER
Lewis
would
say
that
the
change
between
the
Civil,
War
and
1890
in
artillery
technology
was
the
greatest
that
would
be
seen
since
invention
of
artillery
in
the
14th
century
to
the
introduction
of
the
nuclear
projectile
in
the
1950s.
So
there's
been
a
huge
change
in
gun
technology.
At
the
same
time,
it's
not
just
the
steel
but
also
the
powder
that
fires.
These
guns
is
different.
We
have
new
chemical
makeup
and
so
like
cordite
is
invented
now
and
it's
still
a
widely
used
military
explosive.
F
Even
today,
smokeless
power
is
invented
during
this
period
of
time,
and
it's
not
just
chemical
composition,
but
it's
the
details
of
how
you
make
the
grain
how
fast
they
burn.
So
much
like
the
skill
of
firing.
A
solid
rocket,
solid
fuel
rocket,
it's
that
same
kind
of
technology
has
been
developed
in
these
gunpowder
and
this
new
powder.
So
our
weapons
of
this
day
are
much
much
greater.
They
would
be
the
great
killing
machines
of
World
War
One,
most
of
the
casualties
on
the
battlefields,
World
War
one
would
come
from
artillery.
F
F
They
are
now
equipped
with
these
fine
long
range
guns
and
they
now
become
the
dominant
threat
of
the
late
19th
early
20th
century.
This
is
the
threat.
The
French
and
English
would
bombard
cities
like
Cairo
and
reduce
them
to
Rubble
because
they
were
unable
to
defend
them.
So
this
is
how
the
world
was
seeing
the
threat
from
this
new
technology.
Big
battleships,
are
the
threat
of
the
era
and
new
guns
and
fortifications
on
the
ground
or
what
you
have
to
have
to
defend
against
them.
N
One
of
the
most
important,
but
first
things
that
happened
after
the
Civil
War
is
they
built
a
railroad
to
Port,
Royal
Fountain
which
didn't
exist.
It
was
the
first
connection
of
the
Sea
Island
for
the
mainland.
The
advantage
of
that
railroad
is
it
brought
cold,
Port
Royal
South.
So
when
the
coal
was
delivered,
the
Navy.
F
Followed
in
1872,
Robert
Smalls
was
in
the
South
Carolina
legislature
and
he
pushed
through
a
resolution
to
the
Secretary
of
War,
calling
for
them
to
put
a
Navy
station
on
Paris
Island
and
eventually
he
would
go
into
Congress
where
he
would
continue
his
support
for
a
Navy
station.
Here
in
the
Beaufort
Port
Royal
area.
They
eventually
opened
a
Navy
station
here
and
a
cooling
station.
N
They
created
in
the
1890s
on
Paris
Island,
the
largest
Dry
Dock
in
the
United
States.
This
is
the
period
when
the
U.S
Navy
was
switching
from
sail
to
steam.
All
the
Navies
of
the
world
need
coaling
station.
This
was
the
principal
Kohli
station
because
of
the
railroad
for
the
Caribbean
and
South
American
U.S
fleets.
This
would.
F
Be
the
biggest
Dry
Dock
south
of
Norfolk.
In
fact,
it
is
the
only
Dry
Dock
south
of
Norfolk
Virginia,
that's
capable
of
taking
these
new
modern
battleships
to
these
new
modern
armored
Cruisers.
So
this
becomes
at
this
point
a
strategic
Navy
Basin
that
it
provides
coal
and
it
provides
a
top-line
support
to
the
ships
and
they
can
repair
the
hulls
of
even
the
biggest
ships
in
the
U.S
Navy.
F
Following
the
Civil
War
National
strategy
and
emphasis
in
the
United,
States
shifted
from
to
recovery
from
war
and
all
of
our
Coastal
fortifications
went
into
neglect.
The
military
was
busy
taming,
the
west
and
Coastal
defenses
became
something
that
was
no
longer
important
and
the
rest
of
the
world
technology
is
moving
forward
and
they're
developing
these
battleships
they're
developing
new
high
quality
artillery,
and
this
is
going
on
worldwide
and
in
1885
president
Grover
Cleveland
appointed
Endicott
board.
F
This
was
headed
by
secretary
War,
Endicott,
William
Endicott,
and
the
board
would
meet
initial
report
in
1886
and
they
said
the
conditions
of
our
Coastal
defenses
were
just
unbearably
cannot
be
allowed
to
stay
like
that,
and
they
made
recommendations
for
fortification
and
improvements.
They
identified
29
places
that
needed
fortifications
and
11
of
which
were
critical
in
that
list
of
29,
Savannah
and
Charleston
on
the
list.
But
Beaufort
is
not
on
the
list.
N
So
the
merchants
and
the
social
leaders
and
the
political
leaders
of
Beaufort
were
invited
to
come,
have
lunch
with
the
captain
of
the
chef
captain,
sigsby
and
the
officers
got
to
know
the
people
the
people
got
got
to
know
the
officers.
The
crew,
which
was
large,
would
go
ashore
on
payday
and
make
friends
with
everybody
in
town.
F
F
N
And,
of
course,
that
event,
which
killed
300
or
more
Sailors
on
the
ship
was
very
much
followed
by
the
local
news
media
and
very
much
lamented
by
the
many
friends
that
the
crew
had
made
here.
The
destruction
of
the
USS
Maine
was
a
personal
matter
to
Beaufort
and
to
Port
Royal
South
and,
of
course
it
was
the
Spanish-American
War
and
the
attempt
to
defend
this
Harbor
again,
which
led
to
this.
The
creation
of
Fort
Fremont,
the
United
States
declared
war
on
Spain
in
in
April,
1898.
N
F
By
early
may,
we
had
temporary
batteries
in
place
here,
submarine
mines
were
in
place
and
in
the
summer
they
would
actually
place
the
mines
across
the
Beaufort
river.
Behind
me,
the
temporary
batteries
were
a
temporary
expedient.
They
were
located
to
my
left
about
a
thousand
yards.
They
immediately
began
construction
of
what
would
become
Fort
Fremont.
The
large
batteries
would
House
of
large
guns
battery
four
Nance,
the
rapid
fire
guns.
The
smaller
battery
was
completed
by
June
of
1898.
N
F
K
Well,
Fort
Fremont
was
named
for
a
Major
General
John
Fremont.
He
was
actually
a
local
boy,
so
to
speak.
He
was
born
and
grew
up
in
Savannah
Georgia,
just
south
of
us,
and
went
to
college
in
the
College
of
Charleston
up
just
north
of
us
in
Charleston.
He
served
in
the
Army
and
primarily
initially
as
a
Explorer
as
army.
Forts
were
generally
named
for
army
officers
and
he
was
connected
locally.
K
We
are
sitting
in
the
number
three
gun
position
of
a
three
gun
battery
Jessup,
which
had
three
10
inch
disappearing:
carriage,
large
caliber
guns,
breach
loading
guns.
Their
purpose
was
to
engage
the
warships
that
might
be
entering
the
harbor
and
Port
Royal
sound
we're
here
now
at
the
second
battery
that
was
part
of
Fort
Fremont.
This
is
battery.
Four
Nance
was
named
for
a
army
officer
that
was
actually
killed
during
the
Spanish-American
War.
During
the
Battle
of
San
Juan
Hill
battery
fournance
mounted
two
British
made
4.72
inch,
Armstrong
quickfire
guns.
K
They
were
called
quick
fire
because
they
loaded
were
loaded
with
a
complete
cartridge
and
it
in
time
of
action.
They
could
fire
four
to
six
rounds
per
minute.
The
purpose
of
battery
formats
was
to
defend
the
Minefield,
which
was
the
other
component
of
the
Endicott
Coast
artillery
or
or
Coast
defense
system,
a
Minefield
with
controlled
mines
controlled,
meaning
that
they
were
connected
electrically
to
Shore
and
could
be
fired
on
command
from
Shore.
K
That
control
station
would
have
been
probably
shared
with
the
plotting
room
and
in
order
to
protect
the
Minefield.
Obviously,
an
enemy
would
want
to
interfere
with.
That.
Might
send
vessels
small
ships
in
here
at
night
to
try
to
interfere
and
this
battery
would
take
those
vessels
Under
Fire.
If
there
was
some,
there
was
suspected
that
they
were
doing
something
to
interfere
with
the
mines,
such
as
pulling
up
the
cables
and
cutting
those
the.
F
V
The
light
for
the
soldiers
at
Fort
Fremont
was
disciplined
and
regimented.
They
even
had
meal
times
were
specified
lengths
of
time
15
minutes
for
lunch.
15
minutes
at
breakfast,
20
minutes
of
supper.
They
had
to
practice
their
skills.
They
were
training
and
doing
maintenance
constantly.
If
you
can
imagine
with
these
big
guns,
they
had
to
have
skills
in
and
practice
the
skills
in
artillery
mind
laying
signaling,
which
involved,
in
our
case
at
Fort,
Fremont
the
use
of
the
fire
control
tower,
which
was
pretty
sophisticated
and
advanced
signaling
technique.
V
Then
they
also
had
to
practice
the
typical
military
skills
marching
and
drilling
Small
Arms,
fire,
first
aid
and
so
forth.
In
addition
to
that,
they
also
had
participated
in
athletics.
They
had
physical
training
PT
and
they
also
had
sports
teams.
So
this
was
to
keep
them
physically
fit
so
that
they
could
continue
their
their
duties
because
they
were,
it
was
pretty
rigorous
at
Fort,
Fremont.
F
When,
eventually,
the
decision
was
made
to
move
a
dry
dock
and
the
cooling
station
in
the
Navy
station
up
to
Charleston,
then
this
fort
no
longer
became
significant.
There
was
nothing
left
here
that
was
to
be
protected.
At
that
point,
1911
the
last
troops
were
transferred
out
and
the
fort
was
closed.
N
In
1901,
the
mayor
of
Charleston
and
the
United
States
Senator
Pitchfork
Ben
Tillman
from
South
Carolina,
wanted
this
to
move
from
Beaufort
County
to
Charleston
County,
because
there
are
more
votes
in
Charleston
County
and
the
mayor
wanted.
The
U.S
Corps
of
Engineers
in
the
Navy
to
dredge
the
harbor
in
Charleston,
because
battleships
in
those
days
required
26
feet
of
water
Charleston's
natural
Harbor
is
15
feet
of
water.
Port
Royal
is
30..
You
know
what,
in
order
for
Charleston
to
sustain
its
Port,
it's
commercial
Port.
It
had
to
dredge
the
harbor.
N
N
F
The
fort
did
its
job
build
a
deterrent
for
anybody
that
wished
to
attack
these.
It
provided
protection,
in
fact,
the
whole
endicotta
system,
although
never
challenged
in
this
era.
Here
in
the
United
States,
provided
some
300
major
guns,
Coastal
guns
to
protect
major
areas
and
left
the
United
States
at
the
beginning
of
the
20th
century,
with
his
well-defended
Coastline
as
any
place
in
in
the
world,
but
I.
N
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
it's
a
magnificent
artifact
of
an
era
and
it's
an
era
that
has
been
neglected.
The
turn
of
the
20th
century,
the
naval
station
across
the
river
here,
and
so
it's
a
it's
a
piece
of
History,
that's
disappearing
and
the
friends
of
Fort,
Fremont
and
Beaufort
County
have
preserved
it
for
the
use
of
the
public
and
as
a
memorial
to
that
moment
in
history,
Fort.
P
Fremont
closes
at
350-year
story
of
Homeland
Security
addressing
European
imperialism
in
the
19th
century.
It's
a
tale
of
how
geography,
technology
and
National
Security
creates
a
transition
for
America
to
become
a
global
power.
It's
also
a
wonderful
snapshot
of
America.
In
the
beginning
of
the
20th
century,
the
friends
of
Fort,
Fremont
and
Beaufort
County
have
a
valued
partnership,
working
in
tandem
to
preserve
the
fort's
integrity
and
promote
the
historical,
natural
and
cultural
aspects
of
the
Court
most
important,
we're
always
looking
for
creative
ways
to
enhance
visitor
experience.
