Don't
you
don't
have
to
do
anything
but
to
reconsider
mr
taylor
put
a
petition
in
to
reconsider
so
in
order
for
this
reconsideration
to
go
through
one
of
the
prevailing
members,
which
would
be
yourself,
mr
shimshack
or
myself
would
have
to
make
that
motion.
But
if
none
of
you
guys
make
that
motion,
then
we
would
not
hear
that
case
again.
A
B
A
G
Mike,
as
I
understand
it,
the
board
has
decided
not
to
consider
the
reconsideration
motion
correct,
okay
and
mr
mac.
If
I
may
I'm
tom
taylor
on
behalf
of
the
wares
I'd
just
like
to
ask
for
the
record,
I
had
issued
a
letter
of
august
18th
to
you
and
to
mr
mitchell
concerning
the
vote
and
I'd
just
like
to
know
if
there
is
a
response
from
the
board
concerning
the
thai
vote
and
the
letter,
if
you
all
considered
it
or
will
I
be
getting
something
about
it
later?
You.
H

I
A
A
A
A
For
the
special
use
permit,
I
believe
this
is
on
eddie's
point
for
the
fish
camp
and
I
think
it
was
an
adam's
vote
that
you
know
everyone
voted
against
the
fish
camp.
Well,
we
under
we
make
note
that
mr
mitchell
was
not
here,
but
all
of
the
members
that
was
here
that's
here
tonight,
voted
and
against
the
fish
camp.
Do
anyone
on
this
board?
One
of
the
members
would
like
to
do
a
reconsideration
for
this
and,
if
not,
then
we'll
move
forward
on
that
that
was
here
on
last
week.
A
A
Motion
on
the
floor
to
not
reconsider
the
special
use
permit
anyone
like
the
second
net
exactly
so.
The
motion
on
the
floor
has
been
properly
made
in.
Second,
all
in
favor
of
non-reconsideration
of
item
number,
especially
used
for
item
number.
Eight
sigma
five.
By
raising
your
hand,
so
that
motion
carries
that's
been
denied
for
reconsideration.
A
Item
number
10
has
been
withdrawn
from
the
agenda,
so
we
want
item
number
10
and
item
number
11
will
be
removed
from
the
agenda
item
number
12.
Mr
neil
turner
is
requesting
his
administrative
appeal
to
the
decision
of
the
zoning
administrator
to
revoke
a
zoning
permit
at
the
turner's
marine
property.
Mr
tom
taylor,
I
believe
that'll,
be
you
again.
G
It
would
be,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
good
afternoon
good
evening.
Thank
you
for
hearing
me.
It
is
my
pleasure
today
to
be
here
on
behalf
of
neil
turner
and
turner's
marina.
You
know,
would
you
stand
up
please?
This
is
neil
turner
who
owns
turner's,
marina,
turner's
marina
operates
the
hilton
head
harb,
I'm
sorry
eric.
G
Thank
you.
Turner's
marina
is
the
operating
entity
of
the
hilton
head,
harbor
marina,
which
is
located
on
the
north
end
of
hilton
head
and
is
in
combination
with
the
rv
resort,
campground
that
is
located
just
adjacent
to
it.
The
rv
resort
and
the
marina
were
originally
developed
in
1981,
and
then
the
portion
of
the
campground
was
conveyed
over
to
the
property
owners
association
or
in
that
instance.
G
The
key
aspect
that
we
are
here
about
today
is
a
request
that
was
granted
to
mr
turner
to
allow
him
to
install
gates
upon
the
entrance
to
turner's,
marina
or
hilton
head
harbor.
In
order
to
secure
the
marina
a
little
bit
better,
we've
had
a
lot
of
problems
over
the
last
two
years
with
theft,
and
he
has
had
the
unfortunate
incident
of
having
to
first
hire
security
guards,
and
now
we
believe
that
a
gate
would
be
the
best
thing
to
have
there.
This
is
at
the
access
point
at
the
end
of
jenkins
road.
G
Every
time
he's
dealt
with
miss
austin
and
there
are
written
records
that
are
in
front
of
y'all
that
have
indicated
that
everyone
who
has
the
right
to
use
that
easement
will
be
given
access
through
the
gate,
either
via
a
push
button,
transmitter
or
a
gate
key
code.
Something
like
that.
There
is
not
a
single
individual
who
has
legal
access
to
come
through
it,
who
will
not
be
allowed
passage
through
the
gate.
This
includes
a
let's
see
of
the
association
which
operates
a
restaurant
and
in
the
gate,
excuse
me
behind
where
the
gate
would
be.
G
So
in
essence,
all
we
have
that's
going
to
be
different
is
a
gate
that
will
be
there
to
secure
the
property
at
times
when
it
needs
to
be
secured
and
other
times
anybody
will
be
able
to
come
through
it
now.
Our
argument
is
basically
fairly
simple,
because
I've
worked
with
miss
austin
forever,
and
I
know
that
she's
very
good
at
what
she
does.
G
She
has
originally
approved
the
gate
looking
at
the
standards
that
she
should
have,
which
were
or
all
the
applicable
standards
and
the
cdc
met
they
were,
or
the
conditions
of
permits
or
development
approvals
approved
under
this
development
code,
they
were
are
all
required
permits
for
access,
portable
water
and
sewer
granted.
They
were
including
the
fire
department's
access,
because
there
was
a
master
fire
key
given
and
all
other
applicable
standards
of
the
code
of
ordinances
were
met.
G
That's
why
the
permit
was
originally
issued
on
may
21st
what
apparently
occurred
afterwards
according
to
the
documentation
that
we
received
is
that
there
were
some
complaints
by
lot
owners
within
the
rv
resort.
Who
said
they
simply
didn't
want
the
gate
and
miss
austin
acting
on
those
complaints,
for
some
reason
pulled
the
permit,
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
nobody
has
had
any
problem
with
getting
access
and
everybody
has
been
promised
access.
G
I
believe
ms
austin
will
tell
you
because
she
testified
in
court
last
week
in
a
related
case,
that
she
forgot
that
the
rv
resort
did
not
have
a
secondary
entrance
and
that
all
of
the
rv
lot
owners
would
have
to
come
through
this
entrance.
I
don't
doubt
her
when
she
tells
me
that,
because
she
has
a
lot
of
things
going
on,
but
that
does
not
explain
why
you
should
pull
the
permit
when
everybody
was
going
to
have
legal
access
to
it.
And
again
I
tell
you-
and
I
don't
think
ms
austin
will
tell
you
differently.
G
Mr
turner
has
worked
in
good
faith
as
hard
as
he
can
to
get
everything
that
the
county
desired
about
this,
including
access
to
each
individual,
who
has
a
legal
right
to
be
there,
and
we
asked
the
board
to
consider
what
ms
austin
has
to
say
about
why
the
decision
was
made
and
then
reverse
it,
because
this
is
that
appeal
board
that
can
do
that
when
a
county
person
decides
for
whatever
reason,
personal
or
otherwise,
that
they've
decided
they
want
to
make
a
change.
It's
just
not
right.
G
G
G
We
realize,
as
anybody
that's
smart
enough
behind
the
gate
where
there's
access
codes,
yeah
they'll
get
out,
but
the
purpose
of
the
gate
is
to
hopefully
fend
off
some
of
the
people
late
at
night,
who
may
not
want
it
or
who
may
not
know
it,
but
we
will
do
anything
that
is
necessary
in
order
to
provide
the
code
so
that
the
restaurant
people
can
get
the
access
that
they
need.
And
mr
turner's
been
very
clear
about
that.
G
Mr
chims,
I
I
think
that's
a
great
question
and
it's
one
that
I
would
have
to
defer
to
to
mr
turner
and
I'd
hate
to
put
him
on
the
spot
right
now
to
say
it,
but
obviously
it's
something
that
he
could
think
about
and
depending
on
what
this
board
decides
and
whether
or
not
we
appeal
to
the
circuit
court,
we
would
understand
that.
But
mr
turner
really
sees
this
as
a
private
property
right
and
again,
no
one
else
owns
any
of
this
property.
G
This
is
private
property,
with
an
easement
over
it
that
nobody
questions
is
being
honored.
There's
not
one
person
who
says
they're
not
having
access
what
it
really
boils
down
to.
Is
it
that
inconvenient
for
someone
to
stop
and
put
in
a
gate
code
to
enter
someone
else's
private
property?
And
I
understand
that's
not
always
what
people
want
to
do,
but
the
law
in
south
carolina-
and
I
believe
I've
provided
you
citation
to
it,
certainly
is
that
you
do
have
that
legal
right.
A
Yeah,
obviously,
there's
not
going
to
be
a
human
at
that
gate
there.
It's
not
it's
one
of
those
keypad
gate.
How
would
it
work
if,
if
I
were
to
you,
know
just
arbitrarily
decide
that
tonight,
let's
go
out
to
dinner?
How
would
I
access
that,
through
that
gate,
to
get
to
that
restaurant
to
access
that
restaurant?
How
would
that
work?
Mr.
G
G
After
that,
mr
turner
basically
has
said
that
if
it
means
getting
the
gates-
and
if
this
board
wanted
it,
he
would
be
willing
to
simply
when
there
were
not
employees
there
to
answer
the
buzz
he
would
be
willing
to
raise
the
gates,
even
though
that
somewhat
defeats
the
purpose
late
at
night.
Still,
the
fact
that
there
are
gates
there
hopefully
will
serve
some
deterrent
purpose
during
the
day.
A
G
I
K
C
G
L
L
A
M
As
we
sit
with
this
appeal,
it's
more
of
a
procedural
issue
back
when
this
started,
mr
turner
met
with
miss
austin,
provided
her
with
the
county
tax
map
pretty
zoomed
in,
so
you
couldn't
really
tell
a
whole
lot
about
those
properties
how
they're
situated-
and
I
know
you
have
your
map-
you
have
jenkins
road
going
up
there
to.
I
guess
it's,
the
east
of
those
properties
and
mr
turner's
property
is
there
in
the
middle
and
and
the
properties
owned
by
the
other
property
owners.
M
M
During
the
meetings
with
mr
turner,
it
was
miss
austin's
understanding
that
there
were
other
accesses
to
both
the
restaurant
and
to
the
rv
park
property.
So
as
presented
to
her,
it
was
her
understanding
that
the
placement
of
the
gates
and,
as
you
can
see
she
changed
where
the
gates
could
be,
she
marked
out,
showing
that
the
gates
couldn't
prevent
access
from
the
rv
park
over
to
the
restaurant.
So
she
was
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
gates
just
kept
people
from
coming
on
that
middle
part.
M
That
was
mr
turner's
property,
so
that
permit
was
issued
with
that
being
miss
austin's
understanding
and
section
7.4.
Point
30
b
of
the
community
development
code
does
say
that
the
applicant
bears
the
burden
of
ensuring
that
an
application
contains
sufficient
information
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
applicable
standards.
So
based
on
that,
based
on
ms
austin,
believing
that
she
had
all
that
she
needed
in
front
of
her
and
that,
of
course,
the
rv
park
and
the
restaurant
were
going
to
have
full
access
and
the
gates,
as
she
approved
them,
weren't
going
to
impede
access
in
any
way.
M
She
issued
the
permit
and
I
think
the
wording
of
the
permit
underlines
that
it
says
under
no
circumstances
will
they
be
placed
in
the
mayor
that
prevents
the
owners
of
partial
306
access
to
their
property.
So
she's,
saying
not
that
there's
just
some
limited
access
or
they
might
have
a
gay
code
or
something
like
that
she's
saying
under
no
circumstances
are
these
to
prevent
any
kind
of
access
to
the
property
and
any
violation
of
that
is
going
to
cause
them
to
be
rescinded.
M
M
Permit
was
granted,
we've
got,
may
21st
and
then
it
was
rescinded
on
june
28th,
that's
going
to
be
true
all
right,
and
I
think
because
there
was
it
was
miss
austin's
understanding
that
there
was
going
to
be
no
effect
on
these
surrounding
properties.
There
wasn't
any
notice.
There
was
no
posting
on
the
properties
out
there,
so
I
believe
that's
when
these
property
owners
became
aware
of
it.
G
Mr
mike,
I
have
a
question
from
the
board,
please.
I
am
shocked
that
there
has
been
an
accusation
that
mr
turner
misrepresented
anything
and
I'd
like
to
ask
ms
austin
to
come
forward
and
allow
me
to
question
her
because
I
have
now
heard
three
different
stories
as
to
why
this
occurred.
There
is
a
letter
dated
june
29th
that
says
that
she
she
took
this
action,
because
it
has
been
made
clear
to
me
that
the
gates
would
in
fact
block
access
to
the
adjacent
rv
park
and
property.
G
She
testified
under
oath
10
days
ago
that
she
simply
forgot
about
that
that
she
didn't
know
about
it,
but
I
have
never
until
not
true
until
I've
never
until
this
evening
heard
that
there
was
an
accusation
that
mr
turner
made
a
misrepresentation
to
her.
That's
on
public
feed,
and
I
request
that
ms
austin
be
sworn
in,
so
that
I
can
ask
her
exactly
what
the
misrepresentation
was.
That
allegedly
was
made.
G
G
Mr
mac,
it's
such
an
interesting
question.
The
literal
answer
is
no,
but
they
do
have
access
to
jenkins
road,
which
we
have
begged
them
to
open
up
but
which
the
rv
association
has
not
yet
done.
So
we're
hopeful
in
the
future
that
they
do
that.
As
you
come
down
jenkins
road,
they
have
what's
basically
a
a
maintenance
area
right
there
and
it
would
take
50
feet
of
paving
to
connect
that
and
they'd
have
their
own
entrance
right
there.
But
there's
not
right.
Now,
sir.
G
A
G
Lease
slips
for
the
sports
and
the
jet
skis,
and
then
the
main
commercial
pier
is
down
there
to
the
right
and
then
you'll
see
the
private
slips
are
right
there
directly
in
front
of
you,
so
it
would
not
be
possible
to
gate
off
each
of
those
areas.
The
only
real
way
to
do
it
is
to
have
a
main
gate
right
there,
which
basically
what
I
importantly
is.
G
A
A
C
M
G
That
would
be
appropriate
for
just
as
you
just
keep
on
having
his
clients
chairman.
There
is
nothing
within
the
rules
of
procedure
that
allow
that,
and
I
have
not
seen
that
before
in
my
visits
here,
and
I
think
you
all
heard
mr
crow,
who
has
more
expertise
than
every
lawyer.
I
know
put
together
talk
about
this
and
another
thing
about
how
this
is
an
administrative
record
appeal
and
that's
what
it's
supposed
to
be.
Okay,.
A
B
I'd
like
to
make
a
point
that,
on
the
actual
zoning
permit
item,
number
two
under
no
circumstances,
and
these
are
the
conditions
of
permit
approval
under
no
circumstances
gates
shall
be
placed
in
a
manner
that
prevents
the
owners
of
parcel
306
access
to
their
property.
And
I
think
what
the
what
we've
heard
and
what
hillary
had
decided
is
that
that
does
prevent
access
by
having
gates
there.
B
F
B
A
A
If
someone
went
to
visit
this
restaurant
or
even
visit
someone
at
the
rv
place,
it's
just
kind
of
it
just
doesn't
sit
well
with
me.
I
can
understand
protecting
the
rest
of
your
property,
but
up
front,
I'm
not
sure.
If
there
I
wish
there
was
another
place
that
this
gate
could
be
placed
to
secure
the
rare
any
any
point
beyond
the
restaurant
and
this
rv
place.
But
I
guess
you
were
telling
me
there's
no
other
location
that
this
gate
could
be
placed
outside
of
being
right
at
the
front.
G
G
This
was
done
in
advance
based
upon
complaints,
without
any
proof
that
there
was
ever
any
denial
of
access.
If
this
permit
was
issued
as
written
and
then
this
board,
ms
austin
became
aware
that
someone
had
been
denied
access,
you'd,
be
so
wholly
within
your
rights,
as
would
cheat
to
revoke
the
permit
at
that
point
in
time,.
A
D
A
L
L
I
don't
know
if
that's
doable
with
gates
with
the
type
of
owners
that
are
in
there,
but
I
think
that
upholding
that
easement
access
is
the
most
important
and
it's
everyone's
rights,
but
I
do
also
see
that
they
need
to
to
be
able
to
secure
their
property,
but
there
is
access
easement.
If
I
was
a
restaurant
owner,
I
would
not
want
gay
kids
going
into
my
restaurant.
I
think
there's
ways
around
it,
I'm
not
sure.
L
Besides
what
mr
patterson
has
put
together,
that
the
rv,
the
hours
of
the
rv
park
are
or
their
access
requirements,
I
haven't
gotten
my
head
wrapped
around
that
yet,
but
I
do
know
that
the
to
the
restaurant
in
the
rv
park
they
could
change
uses.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that,
no
matter
what
the
use
is
that
they
are
still
can
gain
access.
If
that
changed.
Mr.
G
G
Mr
mac,
we
are
in
the
eighth
day
of
what
is
known
as
a
declaratory
judgment
action
trial,
initiated
by
turner's,
marina
for
an
interpretation
and
declaration
as
to
what
the
covenants
say
and
how
they
govern
the
land.
It
involves
a
number
of
different
issues.
It
involves
the
easement
only
tangentially,
and
that
is
simply
a
a
declaration
that
the
easement
is
there.
There
is
nothing
within
the
declaratory
judgment,
action
about
gates
whatsoever
and
I
don't
think
judge
dukes
will
probably
his
ruling
will
probably
have
anything
to
do
with
the
gates.
M
M
G
E
G
Mr
chairman,
if
that's
the
board's
desire
and
mr
mitchell,
I
understand
that
we
would
prefer
that
the
board
do
that,
rather
than
turn
this
down,
because
I
think
that
would
make
it
cleaner.
If
the
board
was
of
a
decision
to
say
this
will
be
stayed
until
such
time
as
the
lease
case
is
tried,
then
that
would
be
preferable
to
turning
it
down
and
having
us
be
forced
to
make
a
separate
appeal.
That
way.
I
I.
L
A
Yeah
on
this,
and
if
that's
the
pleasure
of
the
board
to
defer
this
until
such
time,
the
the
the
courts
judge
dukes
have
completed
the
because
obviously
you
guys
have
a
lot
going
on
over
there
at
the
courts
right
now
in
this
case.
So
it
might
be
a
wise
idea
for
this
board
to
defer
this
until
such
time.
A
I
A
So
the
motion's
been
withdrawn.
The
second.
So
can
we
put
a
motion
to
defer?
Are
you
okay
with
deferring
this
until
yes,
sir
okay?
So
could
I
get
someone
to
put
emotional
make
a
motion
to
defer
this
until
I
guess
such
time,
the
courts
have
decided
what
they're
gonna
do?
Oh,
it's
probably
best
to
just
withdraw
this.
A
O
O
I
think
that
there's
a
couple
important
things
to
consider
and
if,
if
you
grant
me
this
variance
total
area
disturbed
by
this
pool
is
408
square
feet
the
dimensions
of
the
encroachment
into
the
buffer
zone
at
one
at
one
point
on
the
west,
it
goes
in
about
10
feet,
11
inches
into
the
buffer.
On
the
oh,
that's
on
the
on
the
east.
It
goes
in
14,
feet,
11
inches,
so
it's
a
pretty.
O
You
know
I
went
to
the
development
code
as
as
requested
in
you
know
the
I'm
in
agreement
with
with
the
purpose
of
the
river
buffer
and
the
intent
and
the
spirit
of
the
development
code,
the
the
river
buffer
states
that
you
have
to
it's.
Its
intention
is
to
provide
removal
and
reduction
of
sediments
nutrients
potential
harmful
toxic
substance
of
runoff
entering
the
waterways.
O
However,
in
this
graphic
I'm
showing
you
we
would
propose
to
mitigate
by
more
than
66
percent
what
the
code
requires
as
far
as
drainage
and
runoff,
and
I
think
that
the
graphic
also
shows
that
there's
there's
still
plenty
of
room
for
natural
screening
of
visual
screening.
Those
are
the
two
in
my
interpretation
of
the
river
buffer.
The
two
main
reasons
to
have
the
river
buffer.
You
know
one
is
to
eliminate,
reduce
sediment.
You
know
run
off
into
the
into
the
waterways.
O
O
The
second
intention
is
to
minimize
erosion
and
helps
to
build
stabilize
the
stream
banks.
This
pool
is
is
in
the
realm
of
a
typical,
typical
construction
staging
area.
It's
you
know
the
farthest
out
from
the
house.
It's
25
feet,
so
it's
not
disturbing
anything.
You
know
any
more
than
a
typical
construction
zone
would
disturb.
I
think
we
meet
that
intention
as
well.
O
O
This
pool
would
not
require
any
variance
in
three
of
the
five
zoning
districts
in
the
county,
as
laid
out
in
it's.
You
know
just
because
it's
in
this
residential
pud
zoning-
it's
you
know
it
requires
the
variance
we
we
wouldn't
require
a
variance
in
you
know
in
in
in
a
t3
edge,
t3
or
t3
for
zoning,
not
that
you
know
not
that
that's
really
applicable,
but
it
just
you
know,
just
goes
to
show
what's
happening
on
other.
O
You
know
as
an
architect,
that's
you
know
really
important
to
me
as
well
we're
32
to
40
feet
from
the
critical
line.
Typically
with
with
this
redesigned
home,
and
I
had
to
redesign
the
home
and
the
pool
to
to
bring
it
back.
You
know
from
the
original
intent.
You
know
the
original
intent.
We
brought
it
to
within
20
feet
of
the
setback
line.
We're
now,
I
think
32
feet.
So
we
you
know,
we
we've
reduced
it.
O
So
those
are
the
things
that
I
kind
of
really
wanted
to
ask
the
board
to
consider.
I
know
that
hillary
has
sent
me
a
preliminary
letter
and
she's
gonna
recommend
to
the
board
that
it
that
this
variance
is
denied,
and
you
know
I
respect
that
position.
I
also
disagree
with
it.
I
mean
I
ask
that
you
approve
this
variance,
because
I
think
that
we
can
mitigate.
O
You
know
any
any
type
of
harm
that
you
know
a
variance
to
the
buffer
would
cause.
You
know,
I
I
think
you
know
graphically
showing
here.
You
know
we
we
can
exceed
the
amount
of
rain
garden
requirements
and
that's
not
even
including
any
credit
that
a
typical
home
would
get
for
a
rain
barrel
or
cistern
which
we're
doing
a
lot
of
on
defuski,
and
you
know
visually
we
can.
O
We
can
screen
this
very
well
and
with
the
net
you
know
with
the
the
trees
that
are
there,
we're
not
taking
down
one
tree
in
the
buffer
for
this
pool
so
we're
you
know
the
only
the
only
thing
that
we're
disturbing
is
you
know
the
ground
under
the
pool
and
that's
it.
I
guess
I
can
you
know
it's
some,
it's
a
minor
variance.
O
P
O
O
P
P
O
P
P
K
P
Two
or
76
feet
long-
I
don't
know
this
is
a
very
long
pool
and
most
of
it
is
in
the
river
buffer.
So
until
I
can
hear
a
hardship
that
caused
for
this
variance
that
has
to
do
with
the
land
and
not
what
the
property
owner
wants.
I
still
recommend
this
approval,
but
I
also
state
that
if
you
decide
to
approve
it,
I
need
a
plant
back
plan
for
this
entire
buffer.
That's
going
to
be
remaining.
O
O
If,
if
you
buy
a
you
know
a
parcel
of
land
on
an
island
off
of
an
island
where
there's
three
other
lots
and
they
have
you
know
they
have
pools
and
they
have
variances,
and
you
don't
have
that.
I
kind
of
see
that
as
a
hardship
to
that
property,
it's
not
a
hardship
to
someone.
You
know
that
is
buying.
You
know
a
lot
in
the
middle
of
you
know
a
development,
but
for
this
specific
property
that
is,
you
know,
a
hardship.
You
know
it's.
O
O
O
You
know
I
just
I
just
built
a
house
for
myself
and,
and
I
I
wasn't
gonna
build
a
house
unless
I
could
put
a
pool.
You
know
I've
lived
here
for
20
something
years,
it's
not
worth
having
a
home
in.
You
know.
I
live
on
hilton
head,
but
you
know
I
want
a
pool,
it's
it's
an
important
part
of
enjoying
my
you
know
my
residence,
my
livelihood,
my
exercise,
my
resale
value.
It's
it's
an
important
aspect
of
a
home
and
this
pool
is,
is
designed
as
an
integral
part
of
this
home.
O
It
goes
underneath
the
home,
the
home,
has
a
big.
You
know
open
breezeway.
This
is
a
very
you
know,
pool
dependent
project.
My
clients
have
have,
you
know,
said
hey,
you
know
we
want
a
pool.
We
want
to
be
able
to
swim
laps.
This
is
you
know.
I
think
that
the
pool
is
very
much
a
part
of
the
home
in
this.
In
this
you
know
case
I've
had
you
know
other
projects
where
they
say
hey,
you
know
if
we
can
get
a
pool,
we'd
get
full,
it's
no
big
deal.
O
A
A
A
A
A
Q
Q
Q
They
have
gotten
themselves
free
of
their
addiction,
but
the
last
thing
they
want
to
do
is
go
back
and
live
where
they
used
to
live
where
their
friends
are
and
their
drugs
are.
So
this
allows
them
a
residential
home
to
live
in.
We
we
make
it
a
safe
place,
a
sober
place
and
an
affordable
place.
So
we
we
rent
it
for
twelve
hundred
dollars.
They
pay
a
hundred
and
seventy
five
dollars
a
week
to
live
there
for
six
to
twelve
months
and
we
provide
no
services.
We
have
no
staff
or
no
employees.
Q
Q
You
would
have
to
look
up
the
definition
of
half
way
house
which
you
guys
don't
have
a
definition
in
your
codes
for
halfway
house,
but
it
isn't
halfway.
Houses
are
typically
funded
by
the
government.
People
are
assigned
to
live
there.
I
mean
I
can
read
you
the
definition
of
a
halfway
house,
but
that's
not
what
we
are.
Q
Q
Q
No,
they
just
well,
I
mean
they
they
could,
but
they
typically
they've
just
come
out
of
jail.
They're
referred
to
us
by
beaufort
county
drug
court,
beaufort,
county
drug
and
alcohol.
They
just
came
out
of
jail,
they
just
came
out
of
rehab,
they
don't
have
a
job,
so
they
have
to
come
in
and
they
have
to
get
a
job
within
two
weeks
if
they
have
to
walk
down
the
street
and
work
and
flip
burgers,
that's
what
they
have
to
do
to
pay
their
rent,
but
because.
Q
Supervising
that
no
no
one's
supervising
them,
they
just
live
there.
We
do
have.
Typically,
we
have
a
person
there
that
we
call
the
house
manager.
He
typically
has
more
sobriety
under
his
belt.
He
agrees
to
live
there
with
them,
for
he
gets
free
rent
and
he
issues
random
drug
tests
to
make
sure
that
the
home
is
free
of
drugs
and
alcohol,
but
other
than
that
he
really
has
no
responsibility.
Q
Q
Q
We
we
get,
we
we
beaufort
county,
drug
and
alcohol
depends
on
us.
Buford
drug
court
depends
on
us.
We
are
the
only
place
in
beaufort
that
does
this.
There
are
rehab
facilities
and
iop
facilities
that
send
people
to
us,
because
the
people
are
just
not
ready
to
go
back
into
society.
They
just
got
off
of
an
addiction
and
they
they
don't
even
know
how
to
put
one
foot
in
front
of
the
other.
So.
Q
Most,
if
you
don't
get
occasionally,
we
have
someone
get
kicked
out,
for
you
know,
failing
a
drug
test,
but
other
than
that.
Typically,
people
stay
there
for
the
six
to
twelve
and
sometimes
18
months
until
they
kind
of
feel
like
they've
got
their
act
together
and
they
can,
you
know,
go
where
in
the
play.
They
don't
have
any
money
when
they
come
there.
So
then
they
can
afford
to
maybe
rent
a
place
and
maybe
live
with
normal
people,
and
it's
it's
just
a
nice
place
for
people
to
land
and
y'all
aren't
licensed
by
anybody.
Q
The
business
license
says,
engage
in
occupation
or
activity
with
the
object
of
gain
benefit
or
advantage,
and
we
we
have
no
gain,
we
have
no
benefit
and
we
have
no
advantage
how
many
people
are
staying
there.
There's
a
total
of
seven
people,
there's
two
four
six
and
then
the
house
manager
has
his
own
room.
So
two
people
in
each
of
the
three
bedrooms
and
the
fourth
bedroom
is
the
house
manager.
Okay,.
F
Q
D
Q
Q
L
Q
C
Q
R
Q
Q
F
Q
Typically,
they
don't
have
cars
because
again
their
situation
they're
coming
out
of
jail
or
you
know
rehab
or
whatever
they
typically
they've
lost
everything
they
don't
have
possessions.
They
don't
have
car,
they
don't
have
a
job,
they
don't
have
money,
you
know
they,
some
of
them,
don't
even
have
a
phone
so.
Q
D
Q
Not
no
not
at
all,
and
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
I
do
believe
that
someone
in
the
neighborhood,
maybe
someone
knew
that
you
know,
there's
just
a
stigma
that
comes
along
with
this
kind
of
thing.
They
think.
Oh,
it's
just
a
bunch
of
drug
addicts,
there's
no
drugs
or
alcohol
they're
tested,
but
someone,
I
think,
because
of
the
stigma
complained
not
for
any
incident,
because
there
hasn't
been
an
incident.
But
what
makes
me
think
that
is
a
few
days
after
we
received
this.
Q
C
Q
M
M
M
P
M
M
M
There's
just
been
nothing
appealable,
yet
there
she'd
have
to
go
through
that
application
process.
Really.
What
we're
talking
about
right
now
is
an
interpretation
and
there's
a
process
for
that
in
7.3.60
of
the
community
development
code,
and
there
is
actual
application
that
has
to
be
submitted,
staff
review
and
action
on
that,
and
then
the
applicant
can
appeal
if
it's
denied,
so
if
you
want
to
go
back,
why
is
this
in
front
of
us
if.
B
A
C
M
M
Approve
it
it,
it
gets
a
little
murky
because
there's
a
question
of
exactly
what
the
interpretation
is,
because
what
we're
talking
about
is
a
notice
of
violation
from
code
enforcement,
we're
not
talking
about
a
decision
of
the
director
or
somebody
appointed
by
the
director.
So
it's
an
administrative
deal,
yeah.
M
B
C
M
M
For
your
edification,
I
don't
think
the
board
should
be
considering
that,
but
the
answer
would
be
no
there.
I
think
what
ms
lasher
is
saying.
This
is
just
a
single
family,
detached
residence
and
the
code
does
define
family
as
people
who
are
related
or
four
or
fewer
people
who
are
living
under
one
roof.
M
L
M
M
A
It's
almost
like
the
card
is
before
the
horse
here,
so
I'm
not
telling
you
what
to
do,
but
it
will
probably
be
in
the
best
interest
to
withdraw
this
application,
go
back
to
the
county
and
almost
get
an
interpretation
of
of
of
of
what
you
are,
what
you
have
there
so
that
you
can
have
a
better
understanding
the
county
can
understand.
What's
going
on,
because
it'll
be
much
easier.

Thank
you,
mr
crane.
It's
really
not
a
need
to
hear
from
the
county
if
the
county
would
like
to
have
something
to
say:
the
staff
recommends
approval
with
that
being
said,
based
on
the
information
that's
presented
before
us
public
comment
is
any
public
comment
for
this
item,
which
is
19
no
public
comic
week?
Yes,
there's
someone
raised
in
here.
A
G
Chairman,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
am
very
pleased
to
be
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
chris
crowley
and
henry
brandt,
and
I
asked
each
of
them
to
stand
up
at
the
back.
You
all
probably
already
know
them
from
coastal
expeditions,
which
is
a
great
new
business
here
in
beaufort.
They
are
doing
just
some
really
incredible
things
in
the
coastal
exploration
area
out
on
hunting
island
right
now
and
currently
pending
before
you
was
a
variance
application
for
their
property
located
in
1928
sea
island.
G
Parkway
importantly,
this
is
in
the
commercial
village,
fishing
village
overlay
district
and
what
they
are
looking
for
is
to
try
to
reach
gray
creek
so
that
they
can
get
out
there
and
take
kayaks
and
do
their
expeditions.
It's
really
a
couple
of
great
guys,
they're
out
of
charlotte
they've,
been
in
charleston
and
they're
well
known
up
there.
G
G
A
I
P
A
C
S
S
They
serve
the
community
and
offer
programming
that
creates
a
unique
experience,
further
strengthening
conservation
and
preservation
of
the
area's
most
treasured
natural
elements
along
the
barrier
and
sea
islands
of
south
carolina
coastal
expeditions
and
coastal
expeditions
foundation.
Dock
is
essential
in
the
programming
naturalists
will
offer
to
the
community,
as
well
as
visitors,
giving
coastal
expeditions
exceptional
reputation
in
relationship
to
the
state
of
south
carolina
parks
and
recreation.
S
J
Hey
my
name
is
michael
bradley.
I'm
the
dock
master
at
safe,
harbor,
beaufort,
marina
downtown.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
make
council
aware
of
the
great
relationship
we
enjoy
with
praying
mantis
and
coastal
expeditions.
They
offer
tours
out
of
our
location
right
over
on
bay
street.
It's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
chris
and
captain
henry
and
his
crew
they're
environmentally
conscious.
They
run
a
high
integrity,
business
they're,
definitely
an
asset
to
our
community.
J
J
T
T
Don't
tell
anybody
now
hi,
my
name
is
peach
morris
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
south
carolina
lowcountry
tourism,
commission,
serving
beforehand
jasper
and
colton
counties,
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
my
support
to
coastal
expedition
south.
They
are
it's.
A
wonderful
group
of
people
they're
also
members
of
the
south,
china
nature
base
tourism
association
and
they
are
extreme
stewards
of
the
area
and
they
are
a
great
asset
to
us,
with
historical
knowledge
with
natural
knowledge
and
they're.
A
great
bunch
of
people
just
wanted
to
say
I
we
fully
support
them.
Thank.
N
N
They
want
access
to
our
waterways
and
that's
consistent
throughout
the
decades
of
feedback
we
get
from
from
tourists,
but
locals
also
want
that
and
there's
a
great
deal
of
locals
who
live
in
northern
beaufort
county
who
want
to
enjoy
what
we
take
for
granted
sometimes
every
day,
but
don't
have
the
ability
to
get
out
there
and
access
that
and
what's
great
about
coastal
expeditions.
Is
they
want
to
provide
that
through
their
school
program?
And
I
think
that's
a
significant
component.
N
My
children
go
to
riverview
charter
school
and
this
past
year
I
was
able
to
go
with
them
on
a
outdoor
expedition
field
trip
that
lasted
three
days,
and
I
got
to
watch
these
students
who
were
five
and
six
years
old,
go
out
there
and
do
this
stuff
and
it's
a
really
remarkable
thing
to
watch
children
do
that
and
the
fact
that
they
want
to
do
that
right
here
in
northern
beaufort
county
for
the
people
who
live
and
grow
up
here
and
don't
normally
have
access
to
our
waterways.
It's
an
important
part.
N
B
P
A
And
the
use
is
consistent
with
the
fishing
industry
and
of
the
dock,
and
it
is
necessary
structure
to
conduct
the
business
so
motion
been
made
and
properly
made
in.
Second,
all
in
favor
of
approving
this
variance
signify
raising
your
hand,
that's
that
mso
that's
been
approved,
okay!
Well.
Thank
you,
sir
well.
Thank.

A
R
C

B

E
A
A
A
Meeting
right,
all
you
have
to
do
is
ask
us
to
do
that,
and
we
can.
You
know,
vote
on
on
doing
that.
That
way,
even
if
you
need
to
seek
some
legal
guidance
or
make
sure
your
property
is
not
pertaining
to
any
of
these
identified
properties,
that's
on
here
that
way,
you
can
have
time
to
look
it
over
make
sure
your
closing
attorney.
L
B
A
B
R
A
A
The
second
all
in
favor
continue
to
start
next
scheduled
meeting.
Thank
you
so
we'll
see
you
next
week.
Hopefully
you
can
get
all
that
information.
It's
resolved.
Thank
you,
I'm
in
next
month,
yeah
sure
we
don't
want
to
do
this.
Is
there
any
public
comment
for
this?
If
it
is
public
comment
disclosed
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
U
Good
evening
my
name
is
john
clements,
I'm
a
licensed
contractor
here
in
buford
and
have
been
for
quite
some
time.
The
petersons
have
hired
me
to
build
a
project
for
them
on
the
property
at
180
meridian
road,
which
is
located
between
the
yacht
club
and
burke,
meyer
beach.
They
purchased
34
acres
of
property
and
at
the
time
of
purchase,
it
had
an
existing
structure,
a
house
in
good
order
that
people
had
been
living
in
until
just
prior
to
their
purchase
and
a
guest
cottage.
U
Their
intention
is
to.
We
are
remodeling
the
guest
cottage.
Now
they
we
have
demolished
the
main
house
we
didn't
realize
we
were
making
a
terrible
mistake
by
tearing
down
the
main
house,
because
we
want
to
build
a
pole,
barn
as
a
part
of
this
project
that
will
support
the
main
house
when
it
is
finished.
If
the
main
house
will
be
8
200
square
feet,
it'll
be
very
nicely
appointed
the
pole,
barn.
We
were
hoping
that
we
could
use
during
the
construction
of
the
main
house
to
store
materials
and
equipment.
U
U
You
know
the
zoning
variants.
Application
asked
me
to
describe
what
extraordinary
and
extreme
hardships
you
know
what
the
lack
of
this
variance
would
convey
to
the
homeowners
extraordinary
extreme
or
some
pretty
strong
words.
It
would
certainly
be
financially
disadvantageous
to
them
and
they
had
to
rent
off-site
storage
buildings
to
to
you
know,
store
the
materials
that
we
purchased
and
logistically
the
pole,
barn
would
be
very
useful
in
the
construction
of
the
main
house.
So
it
is
a
hardship
now
extreme
and
exceptional.
U
U
Cause
substantial
detriment
to
the
adjacent
property
and
the
community
of
the
district,
as
I've
mentioned
earlier.
It's
a
large
piece
of
property,
and
this
pole,
barn
would
be
unseen
by
anybody
off
of
the
property.
You'd
have
to
come
onto
the
property
and
even
be
aware
that
there
was
a
pole
barn
there,
so
it
it
seems,
like
the
hardship,
is
sort
of
in
character,
with
the
detriment
that
we're
seeming
to
be
imposing
on
the
property.
It's.
U
B
U
U
So
the
the
variance
that
we're
requesting
to
me
seems
very
non-impactful
on
the
rest
of
the
community,
a
very
absolutely
no
detriment.
I
think
that
the
project
will
definitely
be
a
benefit
to
the
entire
community
of
uber
and
that
it
helps
to
preserve
that
large
tract
of
land
in
a
very
central
location,
so
we're
just
simply
asking
that
we
can
go
ahead
with
building
the
pole,
barn.
U
The
main
house
is
being
designed
now
and,
as
many
of
you
probably
know,
it
takes
a
while
to
design
a
house,
especially
a
house
of
this
scope
and
magnitude.
A
large
house
will
have
a
swimming
pool
and
a
pool
house
and
and
again
with
the
fact
that
we're
trying
to
fit
it
into
the
trees.
It's
just
been
kind
of
a
slow
process,
and
even
when
the
architectural
plans
are
all
done,
I
mean
we've.
We've
been
granted
a
zoning.
Permit
I
mean
that's
how
far
along
we
are
in
the
design
of
the
main
house.
U
We
know
where
it's
going
to
be,
and
we
know
how
big
it's
going
to
be.
We
know
the
shape
of
it.
You
know
the
owners
live
out
of
town,
they
come
to
town
to
work
with
mr
montgomery
and
finalizing
the
details
and
when
the
details
are
finalized,
as
as
you
well
know,
then
the
plans
go
to
structural
engineers
and
and
with
the
current
workload
and
the
back
order
that
they
all
have.
U
So
we
realize
it's
that
we're
asking
for
a
variance,
but
we
don't
think
that
it's
a
very
big
ask
in
light
of
you
know
the
entire
situation
and
again
had
we
known
we
would
just
applied
for
the
zoning
permit
for
the
full
barn
before
we
tore
down
the
main
house
that
was
already
there.
I
never
in
my
wildest
dreams.
Did
I
know
that
if
I
had
a
34
acre
piece
of
track
piece
of
land
with
a
thousand
square
foot
house
on
it,
I'm
not
allowed
to
build
a
barn.
A
P
P
P
P
P
I
because
then
I
know
they're
actually
working
towards
it.
I
mean
he's
he's.
I
think
we've
been
doing
this
since
last
year
and
I
don't
want
to
issue
a
permit
for
an
accessory
structure
before
there
is
a
principal
structure
on
the
property,
because
I
I
have
to
start
doing
that
for
everyone-
and
I
you
know,
don't
want
to
start
doing
that,
because
I
don't
want
a
lot
of
sheds
sitting
on
vacant
property
and
no
main
principle
structure.
So
that's
why
I
recommend
this
denial
because
I
don't
see
his
hardship.
F
Have
a
question
we've
had
cases
before
where
people
have
built
something
like
that
without
ferment
and
they've
had
to
tear
it
down.
Yes,
there's
some
way,
we
could
do
a
contingency
that
I
understand
he
wants
to
get
the
permit
and
do
it
right
for
the
house.
No.
But
if
he
doesn't
build
the
house
within
a
certain
period
of
time,
then
he
would
have
to
tear
it
down
and
would
you
be
willing
to
do.
P
Nobody
will
see
it,
it's
37
acres,
it's
wooded
and
nobody
would
see
it.
It's
just
that.
I
don't
want
to
start
doing
that
like
this
guy
and
then
this
guy
can't
get
it
exactly
so
that
that's
why
I
I'm
here.
That's
why
I
said:
no,
I'm
not
going
to
give
you
the
permit
until
you
at
least
tell
me
that
you
have
a
building
permit
for
the
house,
then
I
can.
I
would
feel
much
better
giving
you
the
permit
after
you
have
your
building
permitted.
A
A
U
In
order
to
get
to
apply
for
a
building
permit,
you
need
completed
plans
and
you
need
structural
drawings,
and
so
we
are
months
away
from
from
that.
If
we
had
those
today,
we
would
apply
today,
but
we
don't
have
what
we
need
for
an
application
for
a
building
permit.
You
have
to
have
completed
everything.
D
A
A
K
Yes,
sir,
I
just
my
name
is
kevin
dukes,
I'm
actually
their
neighbor,
and
you
know
they
didn't
ask
me
to
be
here.
I
was
here
on
another
matter,
but
I
saw
them
on
here.
My
wife
is
going
to
kill
me
because
I
thought
I
was
going
to
be
back
by
six
and
now
here
I
am
much
later,
but
I'm
the
closest
house
to
them.
Are
you
in
bermuda?
For
some
time
I
live
in
burkmeyer,
30,
burkmeyer
drive
and
just
right
across
the
little
slough
is
where
they're
going
to
be
building
this.
K
It's
a
huge
piece
of
property.
I've
reviewed
the
conservation
easement,
that's
on
the
property.
It
allows
for
these
types
of
uses.
I'm
never
going
to
see
this
through
there.
Nobody
from
the
road's
ever
going
to
see
this
through
there,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
say
that
I
think
this
is
probably
a
great
chance.
A
That's
what
I
think
thank
you,
say
any
more
public
comment.
We
close
public
comment
with.
That
being
said,
I
think
we
got
enough
information
to
move
forward
on
this.
If
someone
would
like
to
make
a
motion,
I'm
quite
sure
they're
going
to
be
some
conditions
on
this
and
it
seems
like
they
said
that
two
to
three
months
he
can
have
this
building.
Permit
I
mean
if
you
want
to
be
relaxed
and
give
them
a
little
bit
more
discuss
I'd.
L
Like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
given
the
building
permit
is
a
fruit
within
six
months.
That's
pretty
tight.
You
know
that
doesn't
give
them
a
whole
year
or
you
know
this
is
right
to
approve
the
variance
to
construct
the
pole,
barn
prior
to
the
building
permits,
but
they
have
a
restrictive
period
of
six
months.

For
one
clarification,
building
plans
as
fast
as
we
can,
and
sometimes
the
building
permit,
building
department
itself
is
a
bit
overwhelmed
and
backed
up.
So
if,
if
we
don't
have
a
permit
within
six
months,
but
we've
exhibited
good
faith
efforts
that
we're
pursuing
one
as
rapidly
and
hardly
again
that
you've
submitted.
