cough
and
I'll
read
the
exact
code.
Just
next.
If
you
love
me,
a
coffee
shop,
restaurant
with
drive-through
isn't
allowed
use
on
my
property.
It
is
only
the
conditions
of
that
use
is
to
be
reviewed
by
the
zboa
to
make
sure
the
use
in
practice
is
appropriate
in
the
area,
as
you
said,
so.
The
question
in
front
of
you
today
is
not
whether
a
coffee
shop,
restaurant
with
drive-through
is
allowed,
but
how
and
under
what
conditions
and
I'll
read
the
exact
code.

I
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
quick
background
of
kind
of
why
we're
here
today.
If
you
remember
at
the
last
meeting
of
january
27th,
the
board
was
presented
with
a
revised
plan
and
with
a
traffic
impact
analysis,
and
at
that
time
you
know,
the
traffic
impact
analysis
was
prepared
by
stantec
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
and
then
the
county
had
jennifer
beal
bl
engineering
review
it
on
behalf
of
the
county.
I
Two
big
concerns
that
came
up
from
staff
was
that
the
traffic
impact
analysis
was
based
on
a
site
plan
that
you
did
not
have.
It
was
based
on
a
plan
that
had
two
exiting
lanes
and
one
one
lane
coming
in
and
then
the
other
issue
was
there
was
concern
about
stacking
leaving
the
site
during
peak
hours,
and
so
originally
the
staff
recommendation
was
that
those
conditions
be
met
when
they
seek
final
development.
Permit
approval
from
the
staff
that
the
board
recommended
that
you
wanted
to
see
the
revised
plan.
I
I
The
applicant
to
meet
a
set
of
conditions,
and
if
this
were
a
conditional
use,
something
that
is
approved
at
the
staff
level.
That
would
be
one
thing
we
we
are,
you
know
into
conditional
use,
there's
a
set
of
conditions
that
are
an
article
four
and
that
we
are
you
know,
you
know
the
applicant
is
required
to
meet
them
in
the
site
plan,
but
this
is
a
special
use,
and
so
this
has
much
greater
scrutiny.
The
decision
is
not
at
the
staff
level,
it's
at
the
zboa
level,
you
know,
and
so
that.
I
D
I
It
says
the
use
designated
is
requiring
a
special
use
permit
in
the
allowed
use
table
in
article
3
is
a
use
that
may
be
appropriate.
It
says,
may
be
appropriate
in
the
zone,
but
because
of
its
nature
extent
or
external
effects
requires
special
consideration
of
its
location,
design
and
methods
of
operation
before
it
could
be
deemed
appropriate
in
the
zone
and
compatible
with
its
surroundings.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
the
zboa
aware
that,
with
a
special
use,
you
have
that
discretion
to
make
that
determination
as
staff
we
have
to
follow.
I
I
The
planning
commission,
at
the
december
6
meeting
with
a
series
of
amendments
to
our
drive-through
standards,
primarily
to
address
some
of
the
confusion
that
came
up
in
our
october
meeting
with
respect
to
the
way
a
building
addresses
the
street
in
a
way
it's
configured
on
the
site.
But
at
that
meeting
our
planning
commission
specifically
requested
that
staff
had
additional
restrictions
at
that
time.
They
said
for
sites
that
are
on
corner
lots
that
they
provide
their
access
on
a
secondary
street
when,
in
the
planning.
B
I
A
condition
we
made
the
changes
went
to
the
natural
resources
committee
of
county
council,
which
is
you
know
that
that's
the
you
know,
amendments
that's
the
path
that
they
take.
They
were
very
adamant
at
that
meeting,
that
that
not
be
just
simply,
if
they're
on
a
corner
lot,
but
the
consideration
that
that
we
make.
I
I
Because
it
is
the
will
of
our
planning
commission,
which
is
they're
the
primary
you
know,
they're
designated
by
county
council
to
consider
planning
and
zoning
matters
and
the
natural
resources
committee,
which
is
the
committee
you
know,
made
up
of
council
members
specifically
tasked
with
looking
at
planning
and
zoning
issues.
Both
of
those
are
feel
very
strongly
and
it,
and
I
would
say,
as
a
response
to
this
particular
development,
that
we
make
those
amendments
to
the
ordinance.
I
I
As
staff,
so
I
wanted
to
remind
you
of
that.
As
long
as
you
have
findings
for
making
your
decision
you
have,
the
freedom
to
to
you
know
to
approve
or
deny
the
special
use.
Permit
is
staff
because
of
the
the
the
political,
I
would
say,
the
strong
will
of
the
planning,
commission
and
and
the
natural
resources
and
county
council.
We
cannot
recommend
approval
at
this
time.

If
I
maybe
the
february
24th
memo
that
we
just
received,
it
says,
on
february
9
2022,
the
beaufort
county
staff
review
team,
srt
reviewed
the
updated
site
plan
for
a
special
use
permit
for
a
drive-through
restaurant.
At
that
time,
the
srt
determined
that
the
plan
met
the
conditions
that
staff
requested.
This
plan
has
been
provided
in
the
packet
for
zboa
members,
so
the
staff
reviewed
the
additional
information
and
found
it
acceptable.
G
Q
Q
The
atmosphere
of
the
way
drive-through
restaurants
are
impacting
our
public
roadways
and
our
thoroughfares
in
the
county,
throughout
the
county
and
probably
throughout
the
state
of
south
carolina
and
probably
throughout
the
country,
has
changed
where
we've
got
people
sitting
in
public
thoroughfares
on
public
roads,
trying
to
get
into
drive-through
to
get
a
cup
of
coffee,
buy
a
bagel
or
get
a
donut
or
to
get
a
chicken
sandwich,
and
personally
it
impacts
me.
I
deal
with
it
quite
often.
G
Q
Q
G
S
Q
The
use
given
the
site
that
has
been
placed
on
is
appropriate
for
that
site
and
the
location
that
it's
located
in,
and
you
all
have
not
made
that
decision
and
you've
deferred
the
decision
many
months,
because
you
apparently
couldn't
make
the
decision
that
it
was
an
appropriate
use
on
this
property.
And
that's
why.
Q
Q
So
I
and
I'm
not
arguing
with
you,
I'm
just
trying
to
clarify
what
you
what
your
duties
are
and
what
the
situation
is
with
the
special
use.
It
would
do
your
job,
your
job,
as
the
zoning
board
of
appeals,
is
to
decide
again
if
the
use
in
the
given
location
is
appropriate
for
the
site
that
the
use
is
going
on.
Q
Q
But
he
has
to
make
a
recommendation
to
you
all,
given
his
professional
planning
opinions.
So
that's
two
separate
things:
compliance
with
the
code
and
the
development
standards
and
then
rob's
professional
planning
statute
as
whether
or
not
this
is
an
appropriate
use
on
this
property.
He
gave
that
to
you
all
tonight.
Yes,
it
is
different
than
what
was
initially
given
to
you,
but
there
was
no
decision
on
this
issue
by
you
all,
so
he
had
every
right
to
modify
that
recommendation.
G
G
Q
Okay,
I
mean
you're
entitled
to
your
opinion,
but
he
didn't
meet
everything
because
by
as
required
by
the
cdc,
because
he
didn't
have
an
affirmative
vote
from
you
all
saying
that
he
could
put
the
use
on
the
property
at
the
site
that
he
had
selected
it
and
that's
a
requirement
and
that's
the
main
requirement
of
the
cdc
that
you
all
have
to
deem
it.
It's.
The
purpose.
G
G
G
C
One
of
the
reasons
we
didn't
vote
on
it
was
to
gain
more
information
for
us
and
the
public.
This
is
a
contentious
issue.
We
all
know
that.
Okay,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
make
a
decision
based
off
facts,
not
rumors
and
there's
a
ton
of
rumors
going
around.
I
do
have
one
question,
though,
because
I'm
not
real
smart.
I
had
one
of
your
citizens.
Some,
ladies
on
call
me
on
the
phone
to
tell
me
that
if
mr
trask,
if
we
disapprove
this-
and
he
takes
this
to
court,
do
you
think
he
would
win.
B
C
Q
Williams
has
been
the
court
for
many
months,
I'm
not
an
attorney.
I
can't
decide
what
a
court
would
do,
but
I
do
know
that
under
state
law
the
court
gives
a
lot
of
difference
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
and
their
power.
So
I
would
think
that
there
would
be
a
high
probability
that
the
court
would
rule
in
favor
of
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
because
of
some
court
cases
out
there,
but
you
would
probably
want
to
ask
your
person,
who
is
an
attorney
that
serves
on
your
board.
Q
But,
yes,
I
do
think
the
county
you
all
and
the
county
would
prevail
if
you
deem
that
this
is
an
inappropriate
location
because
the
traffic
and
the
access
concerns
for
that.
But
you
just
illustrated
my
point.
First
of
all,
I
don't
have
citizens,
I
am
a
citizen,
that's
correct
and
I'm
a
county
employee,
that's
correct!
They're,
not
my
citizens.
Q
Yeah,
so,
secondly,
is
you
all
needed
more
information
so
that
you
could
make
the
best
decision
possible
rod
needed
more
information
so
that
he
could
make
the
best
decision
possible?
He
got
additional
information
through
direction
from
the
plan
to
a
recommendation
from
the
planning,
commission
and
direction
from
the
county
council.
Q
So,
based
on
that
information,
he
changed
his
recommendation
again.
You
all
have
to
decide
what
weight
you
give
to
that
recommendation.
We
feel
it's
inappropriate.
I
feel
it's
inappropriate
for
dunkin
donuts
to
go
on
that
property
with
one
access
to
a
major
thoroughfare.
That's
one!
That's
already
constrained
transportation
from
a
transportation
standpoint
and
is
going
to
go
undergo
some
transportation
improvements.
B
Q
T
G
Q
Situation
and
it's
not
right
for
all
people
that
are
traveling,
that
road
to
have
to
sit
or
change
lanes
or
try
to
go
around
traffic
sitting
in
a
road
to
access
and
drive
through
at
a
restaurant
or
to
be
blocked
off
from
getting
to
their
personal
home.
Because
people
have
blocked
off
a
state
highway
to
try
to
go,
buy
a
chicken
sandwich.
A
A
E
A
We're
going
to
close
this
part
of
it
and
now
we're
going
to
open
up
for
our
public
comment.
Listen
typically,
we
give
each
individual
two
minutes
to
speak
up
to
two
minutes.
You
don't
have
to
utilize
the
entire
two
minutes.
If
someone
gets
up
before
you
and
you
agree
with
them
just
state
your
name,
you
will
go
on
the
record
and
say
hey.
A
U
U
B
U
U
B
U
U
U
B
T
T
T
T
The
area
is
the
focal
point
of
ladies
island,
and
nobody
wants
to
see
it
end
up
being
a
generic
automobile-dependent,
suburban
commercial
strip.
The
ladies
island
plan
expressly
recognizes
that
the
intersection
around
sea
island,
parkway
and
sand
point
road,
which
mr
trask
has
identified
as
correctly
identified
as
the
crossroads
has
developed
in
a
primarily
auto
dependent
manner
and
instead
directs
that
future
development
and
redevelopment
opportunities
move
away
from
that
paradigm.
T
There
are
many
by-right
uses
for
the
site.
That
would
be
consistent
with
the
ladies
island
plan
and
county's
comprehensive
plan,
but
a
proposed
drive
through
special
use
is
not
one
of
them.
This
is
a
textbook
example
for
a
special
use
here.
The
use
being
requested
is
a
drive
through,
and
that's
precisely,
the
type
of
use
that
our
governing
planning
documents
have
discouraged
in
the
village
center.
For
ladies
island,
it's
inconsistent
with
the
small-scale
walkable
future,
envisioned
by
the
county's
comprehensive
plan,
the
ladies
island
plan
and
the
community,
the
vision
for
the
village
center.
T
There's
no
question
that
a
drive-through
coffee
franchise
at
this
location
will
result
in
more
cars
and
more
traffic
congestion,
particularly
in
the
morning
when
congestion
is
already
backed
up
on
this
critical
arterial
road.
It's
already
happening
every
day
at
the
existing
dunkin
donuts
on
boundary
street,
and
it
is
the
consideration
of
all
these
factors
that
informs
the
special
use
analysis
under
code
section
7.2.130..
V
Good
evening
I
concur
with
mrs
white,
but
in
addition
to
that,
I'd
like
to
say
that
beaufort
high
school
has
325
young
student
drivers
that
use
those
intersections
and
the
roadways
every
single
day.
My
concern
is
that
for
their
safety
and
their
ability
to
enter
beaufort
high
school
to
come
to
school
in
the
morning
every
day,
in
addition
to
325
drivers,
we
also
have
over
200
parent,
drop-offs
and
pickups
in
the
morning.
V
N
N
One
of
the
concerns
stated
by
a
board
member
at
the
january
zoning
board
meeting.
Was
there
only
a
handful
of
people
voicing
objection
to
the
proposed
special
use.
Permit
application
for
a
drive-through
restaurant.
In
response
to
this
concern,
the
sea
island
coalition
created
an
online
petition
and
actually,
as
of
5
30
tonight
we
have
943
signatures.
N
N
It
will
become
a
very
dangerous
problem
with
traffic
becomes
backed
up
onto
the
main
road.
I've
seen
it
before
in
other
cities
who
do
not
think
this
through
it
will
be
a
total
nightmare
waiting
to
happen.
Another
one.
The
traffic
is
bad
enough
on
sea
island
parkway
without
adding
another
high
impact
business
that
would
drastically
affect
the
morning
rush
hour
traffic.
I
opposed
dunkin
donuts
at
this
location,
but
would
welcome
it
further
down
sea
island
parkway
towards
st
helena
ridiculous.
Let's
take
a
look
at
how
well
this
worked
out
at
the
other
location.
N
N
N
The
potential
danger,
adding
this
drive
through
at
this
location
is
not
a
good
idea.
The
infrastructure
on
ladies
island
is
not
being
considered
when
planning
for
commercial
growth
and
housing.
Dunkin
donuts
drive
through
coffee
shop
on
seattle
and
parkway
should
not
be
approved
due
to
increased
traffic
and
continued
increased
accidents.
N
N
N
So
we
have
many
concerned
residents
on
ladies
island
doctor
and
other
areas,
as
I
stated
in
december
and
january
and
I'll
state
again.
The
application
clearly
does
not
meet
the
special
use.
Permit
regulation
and
specifically
does
not
demonstrate
that
the
development
is
designed
to
minimize
adverse
impacts
on
the
environment,
traffic
and
congestion.

As
you
remember,
when
we
met
last
month,
I
opposed
the
special
use
permit
since
that
time
that
we
met
last
we've
reached
out
to
the
community,
as
vicki
has
noted
previously
to
find
out
more
about
what
other
residents
and
folks
think
about
this
proposal.
Many
of
them
were
aware
of
it.
It
wasn't
particularly
that
people
hadn't
responded.
They
just
didn't,
have
an
opportunity.
W
W
W
W
You
have
a
responsibility
to
look
at
the
plans
to
consider
all
of
the
residents
of
the
area
and
vote
according
to
your
constituents,
needs
and
desires,
and
I
think
particularly
recognizing
the
full
room
tonight.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
who
have
come
to
express
concern
about
this
special
use.
Permit
it's
not
about
this
business,
it's
not
about
new
business,
it's
not
about
coffee
shops,
it's
that
this
is
the
wrong
business
at
the
wrong
place
at
this
time.
I
urge
you
not
to
vote
to
support
this
special
use
permit.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
K
Time
tonight
and
get
a
dunkin
donuts.
If
mr
grass
would
simply
remove
the
drive-through,
we
would
support
a
dunkin
donuts
on
that
basis.
We
get
a
coffee
shop,
he
gets
no
hardship,
everybody
wins,
but
that
we're
not
there.
Yet.
This
is
a
project
that
will
negatively
affect
anyone
traveling
to
beaufort
or
to
hunting
island
along
the
cln
parkway,
and
will
have
a
long,
lasting
negative
impact
on
ladies
island.
K
We
were
at
a
breaking
point
against
this
tapestry.
Progress
is
being
made
toward
ensuring
that
lady
island
ladies
island,
remains
an
attractive
place
to
live
and
work
and
travel
to
and
from
a
major
traffic
study
in
2017
fueled,
a
30
million
referendum
to
raise
tax
funds
specifically
for
traffic
improvements
and
designs
are
moving
forward.
The
ladies
island
plan
developed
through
a
collaborative
effort
between
beaufort
county,
the
city
of
buffalo,
the
town
of
port
royal,
multiple
community
organizations,
advocacy
groups
and.
K
K
The
county
incorporated
the
ladies
island
plan
into
its
own
comprehensive
plan
and
ladies
island
is
singled
out
as
a
special
focus
in
that
plan.
The
proposal
you
have
before
you
is
directly
contradictory
to
these
important
goals
for
ladies
island
create
a
walkable
ladies
island
center.
Manage
growth,
strengthen
neighborhoods,
manage
traffic
congestion,
improve
bicycle
and
pedestrian
systems,
require
adequate
public
infrastructure
and
improved
transparency
and
decision
making
to
do
this
by
the
book.
The
zboa
is
guided
by
four
standards
in
the
delineating,
the
community
development
code.
The
standards
by
definition
are
broad
and
perspective,
but
here.

X
Hello,
my
name
is
kathleen
loretti.
I
live
on
lafayette
street
with
my
husband.
We've
been
here
a
little
over
three
years,
once
we
retired
from
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
the
very
congested
city
of
boston.
We
came
here
to
beaufort
for
the
sheer
beauty,
delightful
scenery
and
history
of
the
area.
Now
I
feel-
and
I
know
I'm
not
alone
in
my
feelings-
that
the
sheer
beauty
of
our
area
is
slowly
being
eroded.
Yes
by
nature,
but
more
devastatingly
by
non-forward-thinking
businesses,
developers
and
investors.
X
Buford
is
a
delightful
place
to
live.
You
know
it.
I
know
it
and
so
does
many
many
other
people,
as
evidenced
by
the
exponential
growth
of
this
county.
That
being
said,
to
the
point
at
hand,
don't
get
me
wrong.
Folks,
I
like
coffee
just
as
much
as
anybody
else.
In
fact,
dunkin
donuts
is
my
favorite
much
better,
in
my
opinion,
than
a
grande
cafe,
misto,
with
two
shots
of
espresso
soy,
milk
and
a
dash
of
cinnamon.
Okay
that
you
get
at
starbucks.
X
I
think
people
just
like
to
say
that,
and
then
they
wait
in
line
for
an
insubstantial
amount
of
time
blocking
two-way
traffic
causing
potential
accidents.
If
you
don't
believe
me,
look
at
starbucks
on
the
corner
of
marsh
and
lovejoy
streets
off
of
broadway,
where
I
have
personally
witnessed
two
accidents
and
almost
was
a
victim
myself.
X
Other
examples
of
seemingly
endless
traffic
blockages
are
chick-fil-a
and
dunkin
donuts,
also
on
boundary,
while
chick-fil-a
has
attempted
to
assuage
this
issue
by
creating
a
larger
place
for
waiting
traffic
on
their
own
property.
Nonetheless,
at
the
height
of
breakfast
and
lunch
it
is
problematic.
Now
I
know
some
of
you
are
thinking,
but
that's.
X
We're
talking
about,
ladies
island,
to
that
I
say
exactly
ladies
island,
one
of
the
last
bastions
of
beauty
in
this
area.
Now,
let's
take
a
closer
look
at
the
proposed
coffee,
drive-thru
site
on
sea
island
parkway
across
from
graco's
billy's
liquor
store
and
down
the
road
from
beaufort
high
school,
not
to
mention
the
already
developed
condo
units
at
the
corner
of
sea
island
parkway
in
meridian.
If
I
am
not
mistaken,
people
grab
a
coffee
on
their
way
to
work
and
school
rush
hour,
creating
a
potential
traffic
and
accident
nightmare.

B
B
Z
You
know
it's
in
compliance
with
the
ladies
island
plan
and
I
was
involved
in
the
development
of
that
plan,
and
the
idea
was
is
that
we
were
going
to
have
a
walkable
community
where
you
can't
have
a
walkable
community.
When
you
have
cars
continually
coming
in
and
out
across
the
sidewalk,
you
know
they're
incompatible.
Pedestrians
are
incompatible
with
automobiles,
an
area
where
the
road
narrows
down
is
an
acceleration
lane.
Right
now
you
know
people
coming,
you
know
where
the
road
narrows
down.
Z
B
Z
That
area
it
doesn't
flow
very
well,
and
I've
been
here
for
a
little
over
10
years,
and
I've
noticed
you
know
how
traffic
has
just
continually
gotten
worse.
There
are
more
accidents
and
with
more
accidents,
they're
going
to
have
you
know
more
demand
on
the
police,
so
that
is
impact
on
you
know
public
services.
Z
Lastly,
you
know,
I
might
add
that
you
know
if
you
approve
this
plan,
you
might
as
well
just
toss
the
lady's
island
playing
in
the
trash.
Just
like
you
know,
every
other
plan
that
we've
done
for
ladies
island
seems
to
have
been
done
and
I'll
just
you
know,
add
one
more
thing:
if
you
prove
this
plan,
it's
not
going
to
be
the
end
of
other
people
asking
for
some.
You
get
the
thing
it's
just
like
I
heard
at
a
city
meeting.
Oh,
we
just
want
the
same
deal.
Mr
trask
got
at
walmart.
Thank.

A
number
of
my
clients
coming
here
are
having
trouble
finding
veterinarians
because
there's
so
many
people
coming
in
with
with
dogs
and
other
animals,
so
I
think
it
would
be
financially
feasible
to
be
a
professional
building
where
people
come
in
they're
there
for
a
while
they
drive
out
a
cta
office,
a
lawyer's
firm,
something
like
that
could
be
financially
feasible,
but
dunkin
donuts
is
wrong
for
that
site.
Thank
you.

It's
not
like
waiting
for
the
bridge
to
open
where
you
have
a
lovely
view
of
the
river
you're.
Looking
at
the
liquor
store,
I
you
know
I
go
to
the
liquor
store.
I
love
the
liquor
store,
but
I
don't
want
to
be
stuck
and
there's
the
safety
issue.
I
mean
we
have
so
many
accidents.
We
do
have
the
high
school.
I
think
it's
just
completely
nuts
to
put
this
type
of
a
development
in
that
place.
Y
Y
I
don't
care
how
any
of
you
feel
about
dick
stewart,
but
mr
trask
has
a
problem
with
mr
stewart's
developments
in
buford,
where
mr
trask
lives
because
of
the
traffic
issues,
but
he
doesn't
have
any
problem
coming
out
to
ladies
island
and
adding
to
our
traffic
problems.
I
have
a
problem
with
that
and
I
encourage
you
to
say
no
to
this.
Thank
you.
AB
I
live
on
nancy
hayes.
I
live
on
ladies
island
and
I'm
fairly
new
here.
So
I
mean
within
two
years
and
I'll
tell
you
something:
driving
on
sea
island
parkway
is
scary.
You
gotta
turn
lane.
You
got
old
people,
you
got
young
teenagers,
they
go
fast,
young
people
go
slow
and
you
don't
know.
What's
going
on
they're
they're
traveling
in
the
has
there
been
a
traffic
study
done.
G
AB
AB
AD
I
love
it.
I
come
from
a
very
heavily
traffic
congested
area
called
new
york,
which
is,
I
think,
more
than
boston,
but
I
love
ladies
island.
I've
been
there
for
a
couple
of
years,
but
I
gotta
be
honest
with
you
all.
This
talk
about
the
accidents
and
it's
gonna
create
this
and
create
that
you
can't
point
fingers
at
a
business
because
people
don't
take
personal
responsibility
of
knowing
how
to
drive.
AD
Up
going
into
the
the
plant
place,
there's
cars
going
into
dockside
my
favorite
restaurant,
the
record
I
slow
down.
I
look
in
the
other
lane
and
I
go
around
them.
I
don't
point
a
finger
and
say
this
is
dark
side's
problem.
This
is
this
one's
problem.
It's
my
responsibility
to
not
get
in
an
accident.
AD
That's
why
we
came
here.
We
love
it,
but
I
don't.
I
think
that
it's
because
the
population
is
growing,
you
should
be
allowing
more
businesses,
because
the
population,
the
need
of
the
people
are
going
to
override
services
like
a
dungeon
donuts
would
be
great.
You
only
have
one
on
the
other
side,
my
friends
on,
ladies
island,
I
know
a
lot
of
contractors.
AD
AD
AD
AD
There
I
do
have
to
wait
people
driving
in
and
out
a
drive
through
a
dunkin
donuts.
That's
what
people
want.
They
don't
want
to
get
out
of
their
car
and
go
into
a
dunkin
donuts.
I
do
sometimes
because
I
like
the
breakfast
sandwiches,
but
all
the
people
I
talk
to,
especially
the
workers
that
get
up
early
in
the
morning.
They
don't
want
to
get.
B
AD
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
member
boyd.
We
really
appreciate
your
service.
These
are
not
easy
times
and
we
know
you're
sacrificing
your
other
opportunities
to
do
things
to
be
here
and
serve
the
public
and
it's
not
an
easy
task
and
the
system
wouldn't
work
without
you.
A
couple
of
points
I'll
disagree
on,
and
I
have
one
request
that
you
consider
one.
H
Now,
question
was
asked
earlier
about
what
would
happen
in
litigation,
litigation
and
court
decisions
are
based
on
facts,
not
unproven
statements,
as
recent
litigation
where
we
prevailed
is
indicating-
and
I
encourage
you
not
to
be
intimidated
by
that
for
those
folks
who
think
the
rules
cover
everything
they
don't
that's.
Why
panels
like
this
and
other
government
panels
exist.
So
we
appreciate
your
service
because
it's
not
possible
to
anticipate
all
the
considerations
and
rule
the
other
thing
is:
you
may
approve
this
tonight
and
if
you
do,
I
have
my
request.
H
If
the
requested
approval
is
granted
and
why
put
it
in
a
deed
restriction,
I'm
suggesting
you
put
language
in
a
deed
restriction,
because
any
corporate
tenant,
franchisor
or
future
buyer
will
review
the
deed
and
know
about
the
expected
median
or
barrier
before
committing
to
this
site.
Because
what
I
know
is
I
didn't
come
from
across
the
ocean.
I
came
across
a
street
and
back
in
2009,
we
made
a
decision
and
we
closed
eight
curb
cuts
on
property.
We
owned
in
that
area.
H
Over
there
we
saw
the
number
of
accidents
and
fatalities
dropped
dramatically,
since
then
city
and
county
and
other
folks
came
back
and
did
some
put
some
medians
throughout
this
entire
area
that
reduced
further
the
number
of
accidents.
So
among
the
things
you're
tasked
to
consider
are
external
effects,
there
will
be
deaths.
There
will
be
traffic
actions,
there
will
be
problems
on
sea,
island
parkway.
H
This
is
this
particular
business
will
not
reduce
that.
It
may
well
significantly
increase
it.
Whether
that
happens
or
not,
there
will
be
improvements
coming.
It
seems
reasonable
if
mr
trask
is
here
asking
this
of
you
that
he
would
agree
that
if
a
median
or
barrier
of
some
sort
is
put
in
front
of
his
business,
that
would
be
in
the
deed,
in
a
restriction
for
25
years
I'll
give
this
language
to
mr
merchant.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
R
R
R
R
Conditions
have
been
met
or
anything
about
that,
but
I
do
think
it
would
be
nice
to
have
a
other
places
to
eat
on
ladies
island,
if
it's
consistent
with
the
rules.
Two
final
points:
no
I'm
not
suggesting
this
has
not
occurred,
but
I
just
heard
this
tonight
for
the
first
time
I
do
think
everyone
should
obviously
be
treated
equally,
and
I
also
don't
think
that
the
rules
should
be
changed
for
business
owners
midstream
again,
not
suggesting
that
that's
happened.
But
hopefully
everybody
agrees
that
that's
not
fair.
AE
AE
AE
AE
AE
I
also
understand
that
the
proposed
location
will
have
enough
room
to
stack
up
almost
20
cars.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
mr
said
it's
17,
I
thought
it
was
20.
that
is
more
than
most
drive-up.
Restaurants
have
and
is
much
higher
than
the
other
dunkin
donuts
in
the
area,
including
the
one
on
boundary
which
has
less
than
half
that
amount.
AE
AE
In
addition,
the
location
will
have
an
indoor
dining
area
with
parking,
so
not
all
patrons
will
be
lined
up
in
their
cars
and,
most
importantly,
prior
to
kobit.
Shutting
down
indoor
dining
drive-up
lines
at
restaurants
were
never
an
issue.
The
long
lines
we
have
seen
in
2020
and
2021
were
a
result
of
closed
restaurants
and
restaurants
with
limited
or
no
seating
caused
by
the
shutdowns
we
had
to
endorse
such
as
chick-fil-a
most
restaurants.
Do
not
have
these
restrictions
any
longer
and
more
are
open
for
business.
AE
Less
people
are
lined
up
in
their
cars
and
the
lines
are
getting
shorter
and
shorter.
This
new
building
will
probably
take
at
least
a
year
to
complete
and
become
operational.
I
hopefully
expect
by
that
time
people
lined
up
in
their
cars
to
eat
will
not
be
a
factor
any
longer,
as
we
hope
cover
will
not
be
a
factor
a
year
from
now.
AE
Finally,
this
is
america.
We
are
very
lucky
to
live
in
this
land
of
opportunity.
Opportunity
brings
rewards
to
people
who
see
new
businesses
as
progress.
Progress
is
good
for
all
of
us.
Anybody
that
has
an
air
conditioner
in
their
car
would
say
that
progress
is
good.
50
years
ago
we
didn't
have
that
progress
is
a
good
thing.

A
AF
Good
evening
to
you
all,
I
am
here
representing
a
large
number
of
people
who
do
support
the
dunkin
donuts
on
ladies
island.
I
for
one
have
lived
on
ladies
island,
for
over
30
years,
I
have
two
offices
on
ladies
island.
My
children
go

would
love
nothing
more
than
to
have
more
conveniences
on
ladies
island.

U
A
E
Again,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
we're
we're
a
country
in
a
county
of
laws-
everybody
has
an
opinion.
I
have
many
opinions.
I
have
many
opinions
about
dot,
paw
and
I'd
like
to
walk
on
top.
You
can't
walk
on
dot
dog
because
there's
a
gay
for
us,
but
that
is
what
it
is
and
they
followed
the
law.
They
followed
the
rules
and
I'm
following
the
law
and
the
rules
and.
E
E
G
I
I
will
say
that
it
is
in
terms
of
that
it
is
meeting
you
know
the
zoning
ordinance
allows
for
provision
for
drive-throughs
we've
gone
through
those
steps,
but
there
are
other
factors
that
we
are
concerned
about
with
a
single
entrance
and
exit
you
know
onto
this
site
at
that
location
and
that,
based
on
that,
we
are,
you
know.
We
do
not
believe
that
this
is
meeting
the
the
traffic
safety
goals
of
the
plan.

We
have
heard
from
the
local
community,
with
940
plus
signing
a
petition
opposing
the
drive-through
restaurant.
A
hundred
I've
received
177
emails
opposing
the
drive-through
restaurant.
There
was
one
in
favor
and
the
number
of
people
that
spoke
out
tonight
and
in
previous
meetings,
so
that
we
need
to
listen
to
the
citizens
of
ladies
island
and
the
people
that
use
this
area,
and
it's
not
just
ladies
island,
because,
ladies
island,
this
part
of
ladies
island
is
a
business
center
for
the
surrounding
area.
J
People
from
port
royal
and
from
beaufort
are
coming
to
the
hardware
store
the
liquor
store.
That's
been
mentioned,
grocery
stores,
all
sorts
of
businesses.
Veterinarians
are
all
right
there
that
come
to
ladies
island
and
then
in
page
127.
The
ladies
island
plan
sets
out
four
common
goals
that
are
developed
into
seven
themes
and
the
one
of
them
that
is
very
important.
J
That
we've
been
talking
about
for
20
years
is
to
create
a
walkable
ladies
island
center,
and,
as
I
mentioned
in
december,
we
don't
have
the
opportunity
in
that
section,
between
meridian
road
and
sam's
point.
There
have
only
been
four
projects
in
the
past
20
years
new
projects,
and
so
we
really
need
to
pay
attention
to
what
is
happening
now
and
to
make
sure
that
we
are
creating
a
walkable.
J
E
A
J
J
J
A
G

Now,
I
think,
obviously
bowing
to
some
sort
of
political
pressure.
They
have
changed
that
position,
but
I
think,
mr
merchant,
a
few
minutes
ago,
when
I
questioned
pretty
much
agreed
that
this
project
still
meets
all
those
criteria
and
while
I
appreciate
the
language
about
the
residents
determine
their
future,
you
know
you
can't
give
the
public
a
veto
or
over
a
zoning
decision.
P
I
will
agree
with
that.
I
mean
you've
got
to
make
property
purchases
based
on
on
what
you're
allowed
to
do.
You
know
I
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
that.
That
being
said
meeting
the
special
use
criteria-
I'm
not
I'd,
I
would
say
no
especially
number
four.
I
would.
I
would
not
agree
that
it
has
and
that.
P
M
A
Well,
in
my
opinion,
I
I
think
that
you
know
the
criteria
for
their
special
use.
Permit
looking
at
this
meets
these
special
use,
however,
being
an
individual
that
that
travels
down
sea
island
parkway
on
a
daily
basis,
seeing
the
traffic
in
the
morning,
especially
when
school,
is
in
session.
That
really
brings
a
major
concern
to
me
I
mean
I
can
I
can't
predict,
what's
going
to
happen,
but
I
can
see
it
being
a
very
congested
area,
especially
if
traffic
is
is
out
of
the
street
understanding.
A
You
have
a
high
number
of
area
where
cars
would
hopefully
not
be
into
the
street,
but
it
really
bring
major
concerns
to
me
within
that
area,
especially
where
it's
kind
of
I
would
call
it
bottlenecking
right
beyond
where
this
donut
place
is
being
proposed.
So
you
know
with
that.
You
know
it
really
brings
major
concern
to
me
and
that's
just
my
skill.
P
And
I
agree
with
you-
I
think
you
know,
especially
with
number
four
bit
with
that
bottlenecking
right
there
on
that
side
of
the
road.
The
other
side
it
actually
opens
up,
but
I
think,
with
the
special
use
permit,
gives
us
the
ability,
especially
with
number
four,
to
see
if
that
fits
in
that
area,
and-
and
I
can't
with
a
good
conscious
say
that
it
does.
A
A
L
Highlighted
or
not,
if
you
put
the
dock
at
the
bottom,
that's
the
intercostal
waterway,
in
brickyard,
creek
and
looking
at
the
back
of
our
house
on
the
right
hand,
side
where
the
pool
is
that
gray
area
is
our
concrete
pad
driveway
parking
area.
We
are
not
the
original
owners
or
the
second
owners
of
the
town.
It
was
denied.
L
The
first
thing
that
was
told
is
the
applications
or
the
applicant
has
eight
feet
of
space
from
the
driveway,
with
the
pool
in
its
current
location.
That's
eight
feet
from
the
edge,
so
we
moved
it
away
from
the
driveway
specifically
because
of
the
safety
issue.
I
don't
know,
but
in
our
requests
of
cars.
L
I
spent
a
good
portion
of
my
air
force
career
as
a
safety
officer.
I've
investigated
three
class,
a
mishaps
which
are
the
loss
of
an
aircraft
whenever
you
do
that,
try
to
go
to
the
root
cause
of
the
problem,
whether
it
be
pilot
mechanic
or
something
like
that
with
a
car
in
the
pool,
I
can
tell
you
the
root
cause
is
the
driveway,
the
road
or
the
bridge
was
too
close.

One
of
the
questions
that
we
noticed
was
that
if
we
tried
what
what
methods
did
we
try
to
mitigate
or
to
solve
the
problem
and
one
of
the
problems,
one
of
the
issues
that
we
did
was
we
actually
went
outside.
We
found
the
smallest
pool
we
could
find
and
we
had
to
go
out
to
charleston
to
find
this
company
is
from
charleston.
I
came
down
control.
S
Once
again,
these
folks
are
not
the
original
homeowners
either,
and
that
was
a
note
that
was
made
by
miss
hillary.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
an
extraordinary
and
sexual
condition
do
not
pertain
to
the
land.
The
request
for
a
variant
to
construct
further
into
the
river
buffer
is
the
result
of
the
actions
of
the
property
owner.
L
J
L

A

L
AC
One
thing
I've
noticed
about
reading
all
the
many
many
notes
to
all,
but
any
of
the
transcripts
from
the
meetings.
There's
only
meetings
in
various
meetings
is
that
there's
a
very
good
dialogue
that
usually
develops
between
the
board
and
the
homeowner,
and
I've
noticed
that
you
guys
really
do
work
hard
to
try
to
meet
people
that
we
can
find
an
animal
solution.
AC
You
know
our
hardship
is
that
we
believe
the
critical
line
forces
us
to
have
the
pool
in
an
unsafe
area
and
we
believe
that's
a
good,
a
good
hardship.
The
meeting
before
us
was
all
about
safety,
safety,
safety
and,
and
we
want
to
be
considered
doing
something,
that's
going
to
protect
the
public
from
an
ill-safe
use,
but
we
wanted
to
open
a
dialogue
to
have
an
open
discussion
to
see,
if
maybe
somewhere
between,
know
you
can't
and
somewhere
between
canvas.

Okay,
well,
I
believe
you
have
the
staff
report
where
we
provide
some
background
and
then
outline
the
criteria
for
variants
and
it's
a
staff's
position
that
this
does
not
meet
the
criteria,
there's
very
specific
criteria
in
our
code.
In
order
to
be
considered
a
variance
and
I'm,
I
guess
I'll,
entertain
any
questions
that
the
zboa
might
have.

In
harmony
with
that
requirement
that
we
have
for
a
river
buffer
and
as
far
as
granting
the
ver,
the
the
health,
safety
and
welfare,
one
of
the
major
criteria
that
we
have
river
bumper
standards
is
protection
of
the
environment.
To
allow
sufficient
area
for
infiltration
of
water
from
storm
water,
you
know
and
not
have
it
running
into
the
marsh,
and
so
for.
AC

A
Q

AF
Q
L
To
say
that
it
adversely
affects
the
health
and
safety
of
the
general
public
and
it's
a
detriment
to
public
welfare.
I
know
that's
kind
of
a
fill
in
the
land.
That's
probably
pulled
off
your
computer,
but
I
don't
think
a
pool
adversely
affects
the
health
and
safety
of
the
general
public
in
my
backyard
in
a
neighborhood.
Just
that
doesn't
seem
to
make
sense.

Front
facing
the
house,
I'm
going
to
put
it
on
the
left
and
it's
five
feet
within
the
adjacent
property
line
and
before
I
came
in
today
I
gave
a
letter
of
the
homeowner
miss
linda.
I
talked
with
her
on
several
occasions.
She
thinks
it'd,
be
a
great
idea,
looks
beautiful,
she's,
the
one
that
would
be
most
affected
by
it
and
then,
of
course,
letters
were
sent
out
to
neighbors
as
well,
and
I
got
zero
objections.

G

Yes,
sir,
and
I
did
read
that
failed
to
bring
it
with
me
and
one
of
their
reasons
for
disapproval
was
access,
but
there
was
at
one
point,
a
fence
there
that
couldn't
move,
and
it's
my
understanding
that
fire
trucks
have
100
foot
hoses
where
they
would
be
able
to
extinguish
any
fire.
That
was
to
happen.
I
Okay,
well,
I
think
you
know
the
general
facts
of
the
case,
but
basically
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
construct
the
carport
two
feet
from
the
property
line.
The
side
yard
setback
is
ten
feet
with
ancillary
structures,
five
feet
from
the
property,
so
this
this
is
encroaching
on
the
required
setback,
staff.
F
I
And
this
was
prepared
by
miss
austin
who's,
not
here,
but
speaking
of
her.
There
was
a
concern
that
you
know
this
is
restricting
access
to
the
rear
of
the
property
and
that
this
situation,
you
know,
if
it
wasn't
on
other
properties,
could
really
restrict
fire
and
ems
service
to
the
rear
of
the
property.
P
M
I
I
C
AG
C
AG
G
Yeah,
because
you
know
one
of
the
criteria
we
have
is
that
if
we
do
grant
a
variance,
it
has
to
be
the
minimum
necessary.
Yes,
sir,
to
allow
for
the
use
of.
So
if
10
feet
is
going
to
work
for
you,
if
12
feet
gives
you
a
three
foot
encroachment
of
the
buffer,
then
10
feet
gives
you
one
foot
and
that's
a
that's
an
easier
sell.
M

A

Q

O
I've
been
an
elected
official
for
ten
years,
my
wife
and
I
retired
down
here
about
four
years
ago,
and
that
was
another
lifetime
when
she
forbid
me
to
ever
do
again
and
just
want
to
thank
you,
regardless
of
how
you
vote
on
this
tonight,
I
don't
think
the
general
public
really
understands
the
work
that
you
all
do
having
seen
it
over
and
over
again
the
staff
I
mean
you're,
certainly
not
going
for
the
money
for
me
as
a
31-year
marine
veteran.
I
do
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
O
O
One
of
the
issues
we
addressed
was
the
rental
of
the
adu
attached
to
a
home.
We
were
considering
purchasing,
could
it
be
short-term
or
long-term
and
we
were
given
the
approval
that
it
could
be
either
so
that
and
my
realtor
didn't
put
that
in
writing.
So
it
became
an
issue.
We
started
renting
it
out.
Everything
was
fine.
We
received
notice
from
the
homeowners
association
or
I
take
it
back
from
the
steering
committee.
B
O
And
they
said
you
know
how
to
do
that,
and
I
said
well,
my
neighbor
four
doors
down
got
a
variance.
She
had
an
unanimous
vote
to
approve
so
they
said
well,
our
rules
say
you
can't,
and
then
they
went
into
a
couple
of
the
the
measurements
and
I
said
well,
let
me
come
out
and
meet
with
you
all
I
mean
I'll,
be.
D
O
And
restrictions,
so
they
said
well,
it
hadn't
been
invented.
Yet
that
was
1997
when
the
the
pud
was
put
together
and
approved
and
short-term
rentals
just
weren't
a
thing
back,
so
I
said
well
then
educate
me.
Why
would
I
not
or
would
I
want
to
have,
I
said?
Well,
they
said
well,
we
have
an
issue
with
parking.
O
The
parking
is
permanent
because
they
have
a
job,
they
come
in
each
night
and
they,
it
permanently
puts
a
headache
on
the
parking
and
then
eventually
they're,
going
to
figure
out
that
we
have
a
waterfront
dock
and
we
have
a
pool
and
they're
going
to
want
access
to
it
or
short-term
rentals
and
the
preponderance
of
them
have
been
marine
families
graduating
they're
in
they're,
either
seeing
the
sites
they're
very
limited
there.
So
all
the
exact
opposite
reasons.
O
D
O
F
O
I
think
the
denial
from
the
county-
and
I
know
miss
austin-
is
a
former
marine,
so
we
had
a
lot
of
fun
and
she
said,
look
I
you
know
she
is
put
in
a
position
that
the
neighborhood
says
that
they
don't
allow
it
well,
the
neighborhood
doesn't
like
it,
but
it's
not
an
unapproved
use
based
on
the
laws
that
are
set
inside
of
the
county.
So
I
highlighted.
O
O
Rentals
are
not
considered
business,
but
actually,
if
you
look
at
the
code,
I
was
informed
that
it's
it's
about
to
be
changed,
that
the
county's
own
rules
state
that
a
rental
individual
to
be
a
business
is
two
or
more
short
term
or
long
term.
For
a
single
unit.
It's
not
considered
a
business.
Thus
it
didn't
fall
into
what
their
guidelines
were
of
what
they
wanted.
I
mean,
and
again
it
comes
down
to
a
want
or
a
need.
O
O
I've
made
it
into
an
office,
but
it's
personal
property
right
issue,
and
I
should
have
the
right
to
rent
out
my
edu
as
long
as
I
am
covered
in
that
the
rules
that
the
county
has
set
aside
now
and
we're
in
a
donut
hole
we're
not
in
the
city
as
long
as
that's
allowed
and
again,
my
neighbor
brought
this
up
and
it
was
a
unanimous
vote.
Yes
and
that
doesn't
apply
towards
this
decision.
I
I
I
I
think
we
had
bed
and
breakfast
back
then
or
you
know,
but
the
county
has
defined
that
as
a
lodging
use
and
in
looking
at
the
documents
governing
habersham,
the
regulating
plan
and
the
pud
lodging
is
restricted
to
areas
on
that
plan
that
are
defined
as
neighborhood
center
and
neighborhood
center
island,
commercial
and
those
are
primarily,
you
know,
along
market
street
in
hampersham.
You
know
we
have
the
storefronts,
and
so
you
know
from
our
standpoint
in
enforcing
that
you
know.
We
do
not
believe
that
a
short-term
rental
is
permitted
in
this
location.
I
I
F
I
Correct,
I
agree,
but
it's
it's,
it's
not
simply
an
arbitrary
or
you
know
the
county
has,
you
know,
defined
short-term
rentals
as
a
lodging
use
and
then
based
on
the
language
and
the
government,
the
regulated
plan
for
haversham.
It's
not
allowed
this
location,
that's
the
basis
of
our
denial
of
a
short
term.
G
G
I
I'm
going
to
have
to
research
that,
for
you
have
with
pud
amendments,
we
have
minor
amendments
that
can
be
approved
at
the
staff
level,
and
then
we
have
major
amendments
that
we
bring
to
planning
commission
county
council,
and
I'm
not
aware
that
that
was
the
major
amendment.
If
it
was
an
amendment
to
the
master
plan,
it
was
something
done
at
the
staff
review
level.
I
G
Q
So
that
does,
in
my
mind,
establish
precedent,
because
if
it
was,
if
it,
if
short-term
rentals
was
allowed
four
doors
down,
then
it
would
be
allowed
by
mr
glass
and
with
staff
making
the
incorrect
interpretation
that
it
was
not
allowed
so
and
the
fact
that
haversham's
not
here
gives
me
some
pause
for
concern
as
well.
If
they
say
it's
prohibited,
and
they
really
need
to
be
in
here
producing
the
written
text
that
says
that
short
term
rentals
were
prohibited
in
use
in
this
area.
Right.
G
P
O
O
Another
thing:
I
don't
think
that
the
existing
previous
owners
and
the
growth
has
occurred
in
there
would
align
with
a
vote
necessary
to
uphold
what
they're
what
they
want
to
do.
I
mean,
I
think,
the
proponents
of
the
president
that
I've
met
and
talked
to-
and
I
have
vetted
this
around
and
spoken
to
the
neighbors,
and
what
I
found
is
that
people
want
to
have
the
right
they
can.
O
Why
would
they
allow
you
to
rent
under
business
laws
30
days
or
more
for
the
exact
same
facility
and
not
for
a
short
term,
and
my
only
conclusion
would
be:
is
that
the
abersham
homeowner's
association
or
the
business
entity
they
use
short-term
rentals
to
bring
in
prospective
buyers,
and
they
don't
want
the
competition?
I
don't
know,
but
if
we're
responsible.
AF
Q
It
basically
centered
around
a
previous
decision
that
previously
only
important
gills
made
that
says
that
something
regarding
29
days
and
30
days,
some
of
you
that
have
been
on
the
zone
of
our
appeals
might
remember
such
a
decision
regarding
short-term
rentals
in
the
past,
but
you
all
approve
that.
So
you
know
I
think
that
establishes
the
fact
that
you
know
staff
was
in
error
of
saying
that
short-term
rentals
were
prohibited
in
this
area.
R
G
I
guess
we
can
be,
mr
chairman,
considering
the
materials
before
us
and
the
philosophy
that
you
can't
treat
similarly
situated
landowners
differently
and
based
on
the
prior
decision
we
made
in
a
similar
circumstance.
I
knew
that
we
reversed
the
decision
of
the
director
and
approved
the
short-term
rental
use.
