Will
make
that
a
motion
and
before
we
move
on
I'd
like
to
remind
every
council
member
who's
sitting
at
the
Deus,
when
it's
your
turn
to
speak,
will
you
please
make
sure
your
microphone
is
close
enough
to
you
and
that
you
speak
clearly
because
it
is
being
taped?
People
online
are
constantly
texting
me
that
says
we
can't
hear
you.
So
please
make
sure
you
get
close
enough
to
the
microphone
a.

C

All
right,
moving
along
I
would
like
to
read
number
six
and
remind
the
audience
of
a
few
rules.
Anyone
who
is
the
citizens
comments?
Can
everyone
hear
me
if
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
during
the
citizen
comment
portion
of
the
meeting
will
limit
their
comments
to
no
longer
than
three
minutes.
We
have
a
total
of
15
minutes,
which
means
approximately
five
people
will
be
able
to
speak
and
will
address
the
council
in
a
respectful
manner
appropriate
to
the
decorum
of
the
meeting
refraining
from
the
use
of
profane,
abusive
or
obscene
language.
A
We
will
take
these
in
the
order
which
they
signed
up.
We
have
five
people
who
signed
up.
I
would
like
to
remind
you
that
if
you
want
to
have
a
spokesman
for
one
of
the
subject
areas,
I
noticed
that
three
people
are
going
to
speak
about
the
same
subject.
You
could
designate
one
person,
and
that
means
more
people
on
the
list
could
speak.
But
if
not
we'll
go
straight
down
the
list.
Is
there
anyone
that
wants
the
first
person
is
C,
hope
Cunningham,
hey.
Can
you
feel
state
your
name
and
your
address
for
the
record.
G
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you
committee
members
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today,
I'm
here
today,
because
I
understand
that
Beaufort
County
is
seeking
partners
for
the
care
and
maintenance
of
the
former
Cherry
Hill
Plantation
parcel
on
the
marshes
of
Battery.
Creek
I
represent
a
group
of
individuals
who
plan
to
create
a
friends
of
Cherry,
Hill
Park
group
to
work
in
collaboration
with
Beaufort
County.
G
Our
mission
is
to
preserve
and
protect
the
educational,
historical,
natural
and
cultural
resources
of
this
tract
for
the
enjoyment
of
current
residents
in
future
Generations
job
one
is
to
establish
in
a
I'm,
sorry
establish
an
endowment
for
the
ongoing
care
and
maintenance
of
the
2013
Heritage
live
oak
tree
and
the
Mary
Pope
gravesite.
Additionally,
it
is
Our
intention
to
raise
funds
for
the
for
removing
Hazard
trees
to
care
for
the
many
landmark
and
specimen
trees
on
this
property
and
to
assist
with
hurricane
cleanup.
G
We
also
plan
to
provide
material
support
for
infrastructure
improvements
and
to
organize
volunteers
for
landscape
cleanup
and
periodic
trash
sweeps.
These
are
not
empty
promises.
They
represent
a
firm
commitment.
As
soon
as
the
park
is
named,
we
will
launch
a
website
and
organize
a
fundraising
platform.
There
is
tremendous
Community
interest
in
this
effort,
as
evidenced
by
the
number
of
petition
signatures
shared
with
councilwoman
Howard
and
the
many
talented
citizens
that
have
stepped
forward
to
assist
with
this
effort
and
act
as
advisors.

Your
address,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
it's
not
your
address:
Caroline
Carpenter,
712,
Water,
Street,
Beaufort,
hi
y'all,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
in
support
of
the
Cherry
Hill
Oak
I'm,
a
member
of
the
Beaufort
County
Senior
leadership,
class
of
2023
and
one
of
a
group
of
six
who
chose
to
focus
on
the
County's
Majestic
Live
Oaks
for
our
Pinnacle
small
small
group
project.
I
We
found
that
10
years
later,
this
spectacular
tree,
the
oldest
and
largest
in
the
county,
is
overgrown
and
neglected.
Despite
having
a
girth,
that's
larger
than
the
legendary
Angel
Oak
in
Charleston,
it
is
generally
unknown
and
under
unappreciated
it
sits
on
nearly
12
beautiful
acres
and
Port
Royal,
overlooking
the
marshes
of
the
West
Bank
of
Battery
Creek.
I
I
I
The
Cherry
Hill
Oak
project
is
in
total
compliance
with
the
intent
and
spirit
of
the
Port
Royal
and
Beaufort
County's
comprehensive
plans.
We
urge
you
to
approve
the
next
step
for
this
project,
given
all
of
us
Beaufort,
County,
private
citizens,
conservation
organizations
and
businesses
the
chance
to
work
together
to
preserve
a
magnificent
natural
asset.
Thank
you
so
much.

Murphy
13
Crescent
Avenue
ladies
Island
good
afternoon
so
since
1999,
the
Beaufort
County,
Rural
and
critical
land
preservation
program
has
secured
113
land
Parcels
for
just
under
20
24
000
Acres
of
protected
property.
Every
one
of
those
113
Parcels
had
a
key
or
unique
environmental
component
that
spurred
the
interest
of
this
committee
as
well
as
County
Council,
and
move
them
to
purchase
the
properties.
B
This
afternoon,
many
of
the
people
in
this
room
are
here
to
spur
on
this
committee
and
County
Council
to
begin
the
due
diligence
in
order
to
add
one
more
parcel
and
12
acres
to
that
list,
and
yes,
this
site
also
has
an
environmental
asset,
actually
a
pretty
big
asset.
It's
the
Cherry
Hill
Plantation
Live,
Oak,
Beaufort,
County's,
oldest
and
largest
tree,
there's
also
32
other
landmark
trees
on
the
site,
not
just
live
oaks,
but
Red
Oaks,
Magnolias,
hickories
Pines,
and
they
all
help
to
create
a
diverse
environment
with
many
transitional
areas.
B
Now,
if
we
just
had
to
compare
our
options,
so
we've
got
a
possibility
of
having
one
and
a
half
story:
townhome
development
or
a
passive
Park,
anchored
by
a
350
year
old,
magnificent
tree
that
bore
witness
to
the
founding
of
the
Beaufort
District
in
1709
I
think
that
it
would
be
an
easy
decision
for
everyone
to
make
the
crowd
of
people
here
this
afternoon.
In
addition
to
the
petition,
signers
are
showing
you
the
large
scale
of
public
interest
that
there
is
in
this
site.
B
A
J
My
favorite
place
to
be
was
in
the
Martians
on
Saint
Helens
Island,
my
family's
on
property
on
Saint
Helens
Island
for
over
three
generations,
I
I'm,
an
attorney
and
in
my
work
I've
spent
a
large
chunk
of
my
time,
making
sure
people
take
responsibility
for
the
environment.
I
advocate
frequently
for
people
who
suffered
environmental
harms
and
damage
at
the
hands
of
irresponsible
corporations.
J
I
specialize
in
property-based
class
actions
I
currently
am
working
on
separate
projects
throughout
the
state
that
tackle
cleaner
air.
Cleaner
drinking
water,
cleaner,
Rivers,
cleaner
Lakes,
all
at
different
locations,
I
believe
in
environmental
stewardship.
I
would
not
involve
myself
in
anything
unless
I
believed
it
was
for
the
best
use
of
our
home
I'm.
Only
one
of
many
long-time
locals
who
are
now
working
on
what
we
believe
is
a
smart
development
program
for
Pine
Island.
J
So
when
I
was
asked
to
meet
with
the
current
owner
of
Pine
Island
over
a
year
ago,
I
heard
his
vision
of
how
he
wanted
to
expand
significant
expense,
significant
energy
and
resources
to
take
a
piece
of
property,
preserve
its
character
and
commit
to
being
an
environmental
steward.
I
was
immediately
encouraged.
I
thought
this
can
be
a
win
for.
Everyone
on
island
has
become
a
little
bit
of
a
political
football,
but
Pine
Island's,
a
private
island.
It
has
been
a
private
island
for
over
a
hundred
years
and
it'll
remain
a
private
island.
J
What
people
should
understand
and
what
you
should
consider
as
things
about
Pine
Island,
come
before
you
as
there
seems
to
be
this
prevailing
thought
that
if
you
kill
a
particular
project,
you
stop
time.
But
that's
not
true!
You
can't
people
are
going
to
be
moving
to
Beaufort,
and
we
want
that
to
happen.
We
want
that
well,
and
we
want
to
take
advantage
of
opportunities
when
an
able
development
is
committed
to
Environmental
and
Cultural
stewardship.
J
J
This
is
opposed
to
shooting
down
anything
so
that
what
happens
is
we
default
to
an
ad
hoc
sprawl?
That's
not
what
anyone
wants,
or
anyone
can
benefit
from
I
asked
this
committee
to
listen
to
the
property
owner
in
his
vision.
It's
full
of
substance.
It's
it's
full
of
a
thought
for
the
future,
and
a
passion
towards
environmental
stewardship.
K
L
L
L
During
the
the
writing
of
of
a
comprehensive
plan.
We
we
sought
and
received
a
lot
of
input
from
the
community
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
immediately
discovered
that,
in
addition
to
the
environmental
concerns
and
the
land
use
concerns
that
everybody
that
was
queried
had
the
second
most
significant
comment
that
we
received
was
to
balance
or
the.
The
overriding
theme
was
to
balance
the
harmony
balance
and
have
harmony
with
the
natural
environment.
L
About
because
I
think
that's
been
spoken
to
already,
what
I
really
want
to
address
is
the
fact
that
one
of
the
Great
reveals
that
we
came
up
with
was
the
fact
that
the
community
of
all
the
things
they
deemed
to
be
most
important.
The
number
two
issue
was
Parks,
Parks
and
Recreation.
On
that
side
of
Port
Royal,
there
is
only
one
park:
that's
in
the
Incorporated
Port
Royal
bounds,
only
one
in
a
server
and
Shell
point.
We
have
no
other
parks
that
serve
this
particular
area.
L
During
the
course
of
time,
we
identified
the
corridor
of
Parris
Island
Gateway
as
a
a
real
cognizant
noted
a
need
for
a
passive
Park
that
would
be
served
specifically
by
the
Cherry,
Point
location,
and
so
therefore,
I
would
really
like
to
Advocate
Council
to
consider
moving
forward
with
this
process.
It's
a
need
of
the
of
the
Town.
That's
been
identified
continuously
throughout
all
the
140
pages
that
we
have
in
this
plan
and
and
it
would
serve
the
community
in
a
new
way
that
it's
not
currently
served
today.
So
thank.
A
You
appreciate
that
consideration.
Thank
you
at
this
time,
we'll
close
public
comments.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
an
update
on
the
staff
review.
Team's
development
projects.
Dashboard
and
Mr
Merchant
is
going
to
speak
to
that
and
it
will
be
shown
up
on
the
screen
as
we
go
through
it.
This
is
going
to
be
on
the
county.
It
is
on
the
County
website.
Yes,.
M
Well,
good
afternoon,
I'm
excited
to
bring
this
forward.
This
is
merely
for
informational
purposes,
but
this
is
something
that
our
department
has
been
working
on
over
the
last
four
or
five
months,
with
the
goal
of
being
more
transparent
about
projects
that
are
going
on
in
the
county,
specifically
development
projects-
and
you
know,
we've
received
many
phone
calls
or
even
being
out
in
the
community
the
minute
you
know
flags
are
put
on
trees
for
a
tree
survey
to
a
sign
being
put
up
when
people
finally
know
what
a
business
is
going
to
be.
M
People
are
very
curious
about
when
development
is
going
on,
and
so
the
goal
of
this
is
early
on
in
the
process.
The
development
review
process,
when
conceptual
approval
is
given
to
be
able
to
provide
these
projects
on
a
map
with
as
much
information
so
that
people
could
see
the
site
plan
elevations
and
keep
that
up
until
a
certificate
of
occupant
see
is
issued
for
that.
So
just
really
quickly.
You
can
kind
of
walk
through
this
and
Mark
Davis.
Who
is
really
spearheaded
this
for
our
department?
M
I
give
them
a
lot
of
almost
all
the
credit.
I'll
say
it
can
kind
of
walk
you
through
it,
but
on
the
very
the
far
side
of
the
page,
we
have
the
types
of
projects
you
know
the
development
or
designed
review
boards
and
then
staff
reviewed
projects.
So
you
could
either
click
on
that
and
then
all
of
those
types
of
projects
appear
or
you
can
go
through
each
individual
project
either
on
the
map.
M
You
know
by
clicking
on
a
symbol
that
is
on
the
map
or
on
the
the
list
of
projects
that
are
there,
and
the
information
will
be
provided
is
all
the
basic
information
about
the
nature
of
the
development,
the
the
partners
involved
and
then
in
addition,
site
plan.
If
we
have
elevations
those
are
there
as
well,
and
we
really
focused
on
what
it
is
that
the
public
wants
to
see.
M
They
want
to
see,
basically
what
the
layout
looks
like
and
what
the
building
is
going
to
look
like,
and
so
you
know
the
goal
is
to
keep
this
active.
Keep
projects
up
here
as
long
as
they're
under
construction
and
you
know
be
able
to
provide
this
information
to
the
public
and
I
wanted
to
give
a
lot
of
credit,
also
to
our
GIS
Department
to
Dan
Morgan
and
Ian
geneve,
who
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this
and
then
on.
M
My
staff,
Nancy
Moss
I
will
say
the
gis
Department
made
this
very
easy
for
us
and
we're
able
to
you
know
once
they
got
it
up
and
running
very
easily
plug-in
projects.
So
you
know
invite
every
council
member.
This
is
linked
to
the
front
page
of
the
County
website
and
in
you
know,
invite
you
all
to
to
look
around
on
it
and
look
at
the
active
projects
and.
N
Madam
chair:
yes,
yes,
so
I!
Actually,
when
this
came
out
with
the
Beaufort
thing,
I
actually
went
on
and
played
with
this
I
thought
it
was
well
not
played
but
used
it
I
thought
it
was
very
helpful
and
I
am
presenting
to
one
of
our
neighborhoods
Thursday
and
they've
asked
me
to
show
how
this
works.
So
I
think
this
is
really
good
information
I
think
the
issue
will
be
you
keeping
it
up.
Yes,.
M
A
O
All
right,
good
afternoon,
you
have
a
couple
of
Rural
and
critical
projects
that
are
before
you
this
afternoon
that
have
come
out
of
quarter
four
of
our
application
process.
As
a
reminder
for
those
listening
and
those
in
the
room,
we
take
role
in
critical
applications
quarterly.
Our
next
deadline
is
March
30th.
The
two
projects
for
due
diligence
before
you
today
came
from
the
December
31st
deadline,
and
our
process
is
such
that
we
bring
projects
to
the
rural
and
critical
board.
O
They
make
recommendations
for
due
diligence
which
come
to
y'all
for
recommendation,
and
then
they
make
recommendations
for
approval
or
not
once
the
due
diligence
is
complete.
The
first
two
projects
are
due
diligence
projects
only.
The
first
is
called
station
Creek,
which
is
a
conservation
easement
project
on
Saint
Helena,
it's
124,
Acres
off
of
Seaside
Road.
O
Again,
not
a
whole
lot
is
known
at
this
point
because
we
haven't
yet
done
the
appraisal
and
the
survey
and
the
phase,
one
that
are
part
and
parcel
of
our
due
diligence.
But
this
is
just
some
background
on
the
project.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
you
can
see
a
location
map
in
context
with
the
other
protected
lands
on
Saint
Helena.
This
is
a
waterfront
property
again
off
of
Seaside
Road,
surrounded
by
a
lot
of
agricultural
fields
and
AG
use
type
properties.
O
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
you'll
see
our
picture
highlighting
the
critical
habitat
priority
layer
in
the
Beaufort
County
green
print,
as
we
commonly
see
Marsh
front
and
Maritime
Forest,
especially
those
with
out
Islands,
rank
or
score
high
according
to
critical
habitat
priority
because
of
the
ecosystem
Services
they
provide
for
migratory
birds
and
other
species,
critical
in
Beaufort
County
and
then
the
last
slide
is
some
pictures
of
the
property
and
I
believe
you
have
a
project
analysis
with
all
these
maps
and
location
information.
The
property
is
mostly
High
ground.
O
There's
some
cattle
on
it
today.
There's
one
dock
existing
on
the
island
piece
and
the
concept
is
envisioned
for
a
conservation
easement
on
the
property
and
the
staff
recommends,
and
the
board
is
sending
this
to
you
with
a
recommendation
for
spending
due
diligence
to
do
an
appraisal
and
discuss
easement
terms
and
come
back
to
you
with
a
final
product.
N
O
So
hammock
or
hammock
is
a
term
that
is
colloquially
used
to
describe
the
marsh
islands
that
kind
of
dot
our
Coast
as
a
place
of
rest.
It
is
true
for
indigenous
people
as
well
as
plant
and
animal
species.
You
can
find
a
lot
of
ecosystem
services
and
habitat
value
on
these
Hummock
or
hammock
Islands
they're,
essentially
protected
islands
of
Refuge,
so
both
that
you
know
the
English
translation
and
the
the
use
from
a
human
and
animal
perspective
rest.
O
We
have
a
lot
of
marsh
islands
that
are
Hummock
or
hammock
Islands
in
Beaufort,
County
and
Beaufort
County
really
led
the
way
in
protecting
those
islands,
both
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
land
protection
efforts,
but
also
the
origin
of
some
bridges
to
Marsh
Island
legislation
that
was
replicated
Statewide.
So
it's
a
great
question
happy
days.
P
O
O
O
The
the
blue
markers
are
the
the
property
itself.
The
other
colors
are
other
forms
of
County
municipal
protected
land
in
some
way,
shape
or
form
the
next
slide.
This
is
off
of
Paris
Island
Gateway.
The
next
slide
shows
the
properties
in
more
detail.
It's
actually
three
Parcels
that
it
may
that
make
up
the
approximately
12
acres
you'll,
see
the
light
green
shaded
above
it
that's
an
open,
Land,
Trust
conservation
easement.
O
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
just
the
composite
green
print
that
aligns
all
seven
layers
for
the
green
print
just
to
show
you
kind
of
where
we
are
in
context.
You'll
see
those
two
spine
Reds
and
the
next
piece
is
why
a
lot
of
people
have
spoken
today,
and
that
is
the
Aesthetics
and
the
tree
canopies
already
provided
on
the
properties.
If
you
go
to
the
these,
are
these
are
not
the
Cherry
Hill
oak
trees,
but
the
other
specimen
trees
that
exist
on
the
property?
O
O
That
does
provide
you
know
Visual
and
physical
water
access,
which
was
after
hearing
so
much
about
the
tree,
a
really
surprising
element
and
an
interesting
feature,
especially
considering
public
access
to
the
water
being
a
criteria.
We
talk
a
lot
about
with
Rural
and
critical
lands,
so
this
was
a.
This
was
a
pleasant
surprise
on
the
site
visit.
O
The
next
slide
shows
you
pictures
of
the
tree
itself,
as
well
as
the
grave
marker
for
Mary
Pope,
former,
an
enslaved
woman
who
is
buried
on
the
property
and
because
my
photography
skills
are
not
as
good
as
those
that
you
will
find
with
trees
as
sea
in
the
Island
packet.
The
final
slide
has
pictures
that
are
taken
by
real
professionals,
and
the
tree
does
in
fact
look
beautiful,
I
just
couldn't
capture
that
on
my
iPhone.
O
So
that's
a
little
bit
about
this
Cherry
Hill
Oak
Property
again,
this
is
a
due
diligence
vote
during
which
we
would
do
an
appraisal,
a
survey,
a
phase,
one
analysis
and
we
would
talk
to
Partners
for
partnership,
both
in
terms
of
funds
and
maintenance
and
other
things
in
the
due
diligence
phase.
It
sounds
like
I
may
have
a
lot
of
due
diligence
Partners
to
follow
up
with
after
today's
meeting,
but
that
is
where
we
are
again
coming
to
you
with
a
recommendation
from
the
staff
in
the
role
in
critical
lands
board
to
pursue
due
diligence.
A
D
C
B
So
when
we
came
upon
it
and
I
owned
a
tree
company
at
the
time,
we
were
able
to
start
maintenance
on
it
and
to
try
to
get
it.
You
know
kind
of
bring
it
up
to
par.
For
you
know
a
tree
of
that
age,
and
so
right
now
it
hasn't
been
maintained
in
about
10
or
12
years
and
it
needs
it
needs
to
get
into
that
cycle,
because
there's
a
new
kind
of
regime
for
mature
trees,
of
mature
veteran
trees
like
this
and
it's
every
15,
10
or
15
years.
B
They
need
a
certain
amount
of
reduction
done
to
their
limbs
and
it
makes
them
increases
their
stability
and
doesn't
let
them
break
it.
It
lessens
their
chances
of
breaking
in
storms.
So
you
know
without
an
insect
or
disease
passed
for
the
Live
Oak.
This
is
the
way
to
keep
it
maintained
for
forever,
really
as
far
as
we
as
far
as
we're
concerned,
so
right
now
it's
a
it's
not,
and
so
it,
the
the
the
the
big
condition
is
underneath
the
tree.
Q
I
have
just
a
couple
things
for
the
committee
to
consider.
Yes,
sir,
it's
my
understanding.
Typically,
when
we
acquire
property
inside
of
a
municipality,
we
look
for
some
sort
of
partnership,
opportunity
with
regards
to
maintenance
of
parks
and
trees,
and
things
like
that
that
were
purchased.
We
have
that
agreement
with
the
city
of
Beaufort
at
Whitehall
Park
that
was
recently
completed
as
a
showpiece
for
both
the
county
and
the
City
of
Beaufort.
The
town
of
Port
Royal
has
refused
to
engage
in
such
partnership
on
this
acquisition
as
I
understand
it.
Q
So
I
would
just
encourage
the
committee,
as
you
vote,
I'm,
okay
with
the
due
diligence,
but
I
would
not
be
in
favor
of
you
all
going
through
with
the
fee
simple
acquisition,
without
some
sort
of
financial
commitment
from
the
town
of
Port
Royal
to
assist
with
the
maintenance
of
the
park
and
the
tree,
so
that
the
county
is
not
bearing
that
burden
long
term.
We
have
no
funding
currently
programmed
and
I
do
not
foresee
any
program
funding
in
the
near
future
to
build
a
park
on
this
property
to.
Q
This
is
a
planning
situation
in
my
mind
if
this
property
is
under
development
pressure
and
was
a
part
of
a
development
agreement
that
was
recently
entered
interviewed
by
the
town.
Given
the
significance
of
this
tree,
then
the
town
staff
should
have
through
the
development
development
agreement,
I'm
I'm
speculating
now,
don't
know
what
that
that's
the
situation,
I
think
it
is,
they
should
have
it
through.
Q
O
If
I
may,
the
first
of
all
as
a
reminder,
the
rural
and
critical
program
works
with
willing
landowners
and
this
this
property
was
under
contract
with
a
a
party
that
had
intentions
for
development
previously
last
summer.
That
party
left
the
contract
and
is
no
longer
involved
and
the
landowner
in
pursuing
other
options
reached
out
and
applied
to
the
rural
and
critical
program,
and
so
there
is
no
no
kind
of
competing
development
pending
right
now.
O
There's
there's
always
a
balance
to
be
achieved
right
in
terms
of
incentivizing
development
patterns
within
the
urban
growth
boundary
and,
and
you
know,
buying
land
for
conservation
in
areas
that
are
designated
for
growth,
and
there
was
some.
There
was
a
common
understanding
about
the
benefits
of
the
passive
Recreation
potential
of
this
property,
which
is
why
that
green
print
layer
is
so
informative
and
again,
why
I
think
in
a
growing
part
of
the
town?
O
This
could
look
like
a
proactive
opportunity,
a
couple
years
down
the
road,
but
those
conversations
with
the
town
of
Port
Royal
have
been
started.
They've
been
positive
and
I'm
happy
to
continue
them
in
due
diligence
and
again
to
anyone.
You
know
listening
or
watching
or
ever
wondering
about
a
role
in
critical
project.
We
we
again
rely
on
willing
landowners
empower
Partnerships
to
make
the
deals
the
best
they
can
be
for
the
Beaufort
County
taxpayer,
so
I'm
happy
to
entertain
all
thoughts
on
Partnerships
and
potential.
There.
C
A
O
A
Thank
you
all
right
number
10
recommend
approval
of
an
ordinance
for
tax
amendments
to
the
Community
Development
code,
sections
3.1.60
and
3.2.60
T
Rural
Center
standards
and
the
4.1.220
residential
storage
facility
to
conditionally
allow
the
use
of
residential
storage
facility
within
the
t2
Rural,
Center
and
Mr.
Merchant
will
talk
to
us
about
this
item.
M
Okay,
this
is
a
citizen
initiated
our
text,
Amendment
to
the
Community
Development
code
and
what
they
are
requesting
is
to
we
have
an
existing
District,
T2
Rural
Center
and,
it
is
to
add
a
use
called
residential
storage
facilities
as
a
conditional
use
in
that
district
and
just
to
clear
up
some
confusion:
residential
storage
facilities
in
our
code.
That's
the
name
for
your
typical
storage
rental
units.
You
know
the
people
when
they
have
run
out
of
room
in
their
own
house.
M
They
pay
additional
money
and
you
know
rent
some
additional
space,
and
so
it's
your
typical
self-storage
or
residential
storage
facility,
the
t2
Rural
Center
Zone,
is
basically
it's
it's
in
mostly
in
our
rural
areas,
but
we
do
have
some
locations
in
southern
Beaufort
County
that
are
more
on
the
edges
of
of
the
municipalities,
but
it
is
a
mixed
use:
commercial
District
that
is
more
in
a
rural
scale.
It
allows
retail
and
offices
up
to
about
fifteen
thousand
square
feet.
M
As
far
as
the
location
of
the
teacher
Rural
Center
districts,
there's
there's
only
six
locations
in
the
county.
Four
of
them
are
north
of
the
broad
and
located
in
more
rural
areas.
Libeko
Gardens
Corner
north
of
the
whale
Branch,
the
intersection
of
Sea
Island
Parkway
and
distant
Island
roads
and
the
Eustis
community,
and
then
on.
The
western
edges
of
the
coroners
community
on
St
Helena
all
have
that
zoning
in
southern
Beaufort
County
there
is
an
area
in
pritchardville.
M
This
is
being
proposed
as
a
conditional
use,
which
means
that
you
know
it's.
It's
a
permitted
use
as
long
as
the
applicant
meets
an
additional
set
of
conditions
that
are
specifically
outlined
in
our
in
our
codes
and
what
is
being
proposed
for
this
particular
amendment
is
that
where
this
use
would
be
allowed
in
the
t2
Rural
Center,
if,
if
this
were
adopted,
the
buildings
could
only
be
located
on
the
interior
of
the
block
if
they're
facing
a
major,
collector
or
arterial
street.
M
M
A
A
H
H
H
Thank
you
for
having
me
I,
hope,
everybody's
doing
well.
I
appreciate
you
letting
me
speak.
My
name
is
Nancy
house
and
I
have
owned
the
property
off
burnt,
Church
Road.
Since
1995.
it
was
originally
Zone,
General
commercial
and
was
rezoned
by
the
county,
which
is
another
conversation.
I
will
not
get
into
here.
H
As
of
four
plus
years
ago,
it
was
rezoned
T2
d2rc
I,
initiated
the
zoning
text.
Amendment
change
request
due
to
the
development
interest
in
my
property
for
construction
of
a
residential
storage
facility
to
serve
residential
areas,
adjacent
to
Old,
Town
Bluffton
along
the
May
River
Road
around
all
Joy
Road
and
along
burn
church.
The
storage
options
currently
available
to
these
areas
require
residents
to
drive
significant
distances
on
high
traffic
roadways.
H
I
researched
the
allowed
uses
in
my
zoning
classification
discovered
that
storage
yards
warehousing
and
distribution
facilities
are
allowed,
but
not
residential,
self-storage
I
thought
this
would
be
a
minor
tax
change.
It
would
be
consistent
with
the
current
permissible
uses.
The
Planning
Commission
voted
a
text
change
down
on
February
3rd
primary,
citing
possible
proliferation
of
unkept
facilities
and
T2
RC
Zone
around
the
county
of
the
360
000
acres
in
Beaufort
County.
H
The
planning
staff
recommended
staff
approval
of
this
text
Amendment
and
indicated
it
is
consistent
with
the
goals
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
It
is
not
in
conflict
with
the
development
code.
It
addresses
IT
addresses
a
demonstrated
Community
need
by
giving
nearby
rural
residents
storage
options
which
they
currently
do
not
have
and
is
compatible
with.
Other
uses
am
I
done.
H
And
the
t2
RC
Zone
it
would
allow
logical
and
orderly
development
pattern
and
would
have
to
adhere
to
natural
resource
protection
standards,
as
other
commercial
development
in
this
Zone
must
I
respectfully
request.
You
approve
the
addition
of
residential
storage
facilities
as
a
conditional
use
in
the
t2
RC
Zone.
Thank.
P
A
A
H
S
S
M
H
M
R
D
M
The
the
property
is
Zone
T2,
Rural
Center,
so
any
use.
You
know
as
far
as
long
as
it's
meeting
the
restrictions
and
requirements
of
that
or
of
that
District.
So
it
would
could
allow
a
number
of
smaller
scale-
I'm-
probably
not
retail
in
that
location,
but
it
would
be
permitted
service,
uses
offices.
M
S
N
N
M
M
No,
this
is
a
change,
so
I
I.
The
other
thing
I
I
should
imagine
is
that
this
particular
use
self
storage
is
allowed
in
all
of
our
other
commercial
districts
C3
and
or
are
c4
and
C5,
which
are
are
two
mixed
use.
Community
scale
and
Regional
scale
commercial
districts
along
with
the
the
T4
District,
so
it
is
allowed
in
basically
every
other
commercial
District,
along
with
our
light
industrial
and
so
is
Staff.
M
We,
you
know
when
somebody
makes
a
text
Amendment
we're
very
careful,
because
a
text
Amendment
does
not
just
apply
to
one
property
applies
to
everywhere.
That
is
zones
for
that
use,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
every
location
where
this
particular
use
could
occur
that
it
would
be
compatible,
and
so
you
know
in
our
evaluation
of
the
district.
This
particular
use
was
very
similar
to
other
uses
that
that
District
allowed
so
that
you
know,
but
yes
we're.
M
C
H
M
And
it
was
my
understanding
of
that
conversation.
I'd
have
to
listen
to
it
again
is
that
they
were
concerns
that
many
of
these
types
of
uses
around
the
county
are
are
not
kept
up.
Maybe
some
of
the
older
facilities
you
know
regardless,
they
would
have
to
follow
all
of
the
County's
requirements
for
buffers
screening
architectural
standards.
So
you
know,
but
that
was
that
was
the
the
concern
that
the
Planning
Commission
had.
Okay,.
D
D
M
I
mean
I
think
that
that
is
that's
a
risk
of
any
older
building.
You
know,
that's
not
kept
up.
I,
don't
know
that
this
you
know
from
my
knowledge
of
this
particular
use,
whether
that
this
particular
use
is
more
susceptible
to
that
type
of
Decay.
You
know
it's,
it's
we
treat
as
any
other
type
of
use,
but
if
it's
not
kept
up
and
abandoned
I
mean
it
could
lead
to
you
know,
being
a
hazard
or
that.
D
T
Thank
you
very
much
a
couple
of
points.
If
you'll,
let
me
know
where
that
is:
I
have
code
enforcement
staff.
We
will
take
care
of
that
any
any
building,
that's
unsecured
or
dilapidated.
We
have
ordinances
in
place.
We
can
take
care
of
that.
So
I
don't
know
that
that
would
be
a
concern
in
this
case
because
we
have
tools
to
handle
that
I
just
wanted
to
make
the
point
that
this
is
not
a
rezoning
request.
T
This
is
adding
this
particular
use
in
this
particular
zoning,
District
I
think
we
may
have
gotten
a
little
sideways
looking
at
one
parcel.
This
is
for
all
of
the
parcels
in
this
district
and
staff
feels
like
that.
It
is
a
it's
an
acceptable
use.
It
fits
because
of
the
the
overall
aesthetic
in
use
in
those
Center
districts.
So
that's
sort
of
the
the
Nexus
of
the
conversation.
It's
not
it's
rezoning.
It's
adding
this
particular
development
type
in
that
zoning
District.
But
if
you'll,
let
me
know
where
that
is
I'll
be
happy
or.
L
A
M
A
U
U
T
So,
instead
of
just
giving
you
a
simple
yes,
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
what
the
Planning
Commission
does.
They
have
a
tough
job
and
they
weigh
this
there's
a
lot
of
subjectivity
and
opinion
that
goes
into
their
decisions
and
I
respect
what
they
do.
Yes,
we
have
the
tools,
any
commercial
building
that
is
dilapidated,
that
is
open,
that
is
vacant
and
open.
T
R
R
Is
it
safe
to
say
that
if
this
ordinance
or
a
text
Amendment
changes
the
this
to
a
T2,
Rural
Center
and
allows
I'm
sorry
to
allow
residential
storage
facilities
in
two
two
rural
centers,
not
just
in
this
District
but
anywhere?
There's
a
T2
Rural
Center.
If
that's
a
text
change,
it
applies
to
the
whole
County,
not
just
there.
What.
R
T
R
A
U
R
F
C
A
M
Okay,
so
this
one
is
a
zoning
map
Amendment.
So
this
specifically,
it
applies
to
one
area
in
the
pritchardville
community
if
you'll
be
able
to
Tapas
in
the
packet
okay,
so
the
applicant
is
Dr
Campbell,
a
local,
getting
this
right,
ophthalmologist
optometrist
optometrist,
who
is
interested
in
changing
the
zoning
of
this
site
to
accommodate
a
medical
office
building?
M
This
is
in
the
pritchardville
community
and
if
you
look
at
the
map
that
is
on
the
screen,
it
is
the
property
that
is
outlined
in
red.
This
is
on
the
south
side
of
46
in
prichardville.
If
you
go
about
a
quarter
mile
to
the
West,
you
reach
the
circle
and
new
Riverside
Community
and
the
commercial
area.
That's
over
there.
If
you
go
about
a
quarter
mile
to
the
east,
you
reach
the
intersection
with
give
it
Rhodes
where
there
is
another
small
area
that
is
Zone
T2
Rural
Center.
M
The
current
zoning
of
this
property
is
T3
Edge
and
that
is
primarily
a
residential
single-family
District.
It
is
applied
to
the
majority
of
the
prichardville
community,
pretty
much
defined
by
gibbit
roads
170
in
the
land
that
is
in
the
county
and
then
some
of
the
the
lands
that
are
to
the
south
of
46
6.
M
because
of
that
zoning
and
that
it
is
primarily
residential.
What
the
applicant
is
wanting
to
do
is
change
the
zoning
to
T2
Rural
Center,
which
you
should
have
some
familiarity
with
now,
and
that
District
would
allow
medical
office
building
on
this
site.
Some
of
the
concerns
that
staff
has
is
that
there
is
currently
a
property.
That's
a
rectangular
shaped
property.
That's
located
directly
to
the
west
of
this
was
rezones
by
County
Council
in
2021.
M
That
was
a
specific
case
where
the
owner
of
that
property
had
some
what
he
believed
were
vested.
There
was
a
history
in
that
property
where
at
one
time
they
had
a
permit
to
develop
a
convenience
store
and
gas
station
that
permit
expired
in
the
early
2000s,
but
they
were
interested
in
developing
that
as
a
commercial
site
they
submitted
for
his
owning
amendments
and
that
Amendment
passed
County
Council
in
2021.
M
M
And
the
other
thing
is
that
the
the
teacher
Rural
Center,
that
larger
rectangular
property
is
still
undeveloped.
So
it
was
up
zones,
but
that
property
is
not
developed,
and
so,
in
addition,
what
we
see
is
adding
another
commercial
property
to
a
district
where
there's
still
capacity
on
the
the
piece
of
property.
That's
located
directly
to
the
West.
For
these
reasons
that
I'm
at
a
denial,
this
application
certainly
understands
the
needs
and
and
the
interest
of
developing
another
medical
office
facility
and
why
this
property
may
be
attractive.
M
Q
Chairman
can
I
can
I
get
Rob?
Can
you
is
the
t2rc
to
the
left?
Is
it
already
developed,
so
it's
vacant
Rob?
What
was
the
history
there
was?
There
was
some
controversy
over
the
rezoning
of
that
property.
Those
guys
that
were
here
that
here,
representing
that
rezoning
said
they
were
going
to
build
something
immediately
on
the
property.
What
was
that
it
was
like
some
sort
of
bank
or
there
was
some
sort
of
office
use?
Q
Was
it
not
right
and
they
claimed
that
it
used
to
be
his
own
commercial
and
then
it
got
rezoned
or
they
were
paying
commercial
taxes
on
the
property
or
something
that
was
the
first
time
that
County
Council
rezone
property
to
commercial,
because
someone
made
a
claim
that
the
county
had
changed
zoning
of
people's
property.
Without
them,
they
don't.
Q
M
Right,
yes,
and
it
it
was
at
the
time
that
they
received
a
permit.
This
was
in
the
early
2000s
I
believe
it
was
2004,
and
this
is
for
that
larger
rectangular
property.
They,
you
know,
were
able
to
get
a
permit
for
a
convenience
store
gas
station
that
permit
expired.
They
never
acted
on
it
and
then
in
two
I'm.
Sorry
I
should
have
mentioned
also
that
in
2014
Beaufort
County
adopted
the
Community
Development
code.
At
that
time,
that
was
rendered.
E
Q
Property
cannot
be
sold
because
no
one
wants
to
put
a
commercial
business
there,
because
there's
so
many
commercially
zoned
properties
where
people
are
actually
going
to
this
is
purely
speculative
rezoning
and
is
a
bad
planning
idea
to
continue
to
rezone
property
down
that
Frontage
on
that
two-lane
road
to
commercial
you're,
going
to
lose
the
entire
character
of
that
Corridor.
If
this
continues.
E
K
So
I'm
Michael,
Campbell
and
I
am
looking
and
my
father
looking
to
purchase
and
put
a
medical
office
optometrist's
office
on
there.
I
have
photos
of
what
we
did
in
the
Boston
area
for
the
office
and
then
there's
a
piece
of
land
that
shows
you.
What
we're
putting
it
on
can
I
bring
this
to
you
all
yeah.
K
And
what
they're
saying
is
to
try
to
make
it
where
it's
not
the
essence
of
printerville
or
Beaufort
County?
But
if
you
look
at
that
piece
of
land
we
have
the
building
ourselves
that
we
put
in
Bluffton
is
what
we're,
similarly
putting
on
that
piece
of
land
and
that
land
itself
right
now
doesn't
have
any
trees
or
any
development
on
it
right
now.
K
The
reason
why
we're
using
this
land
and
the
other
is
because
there
is
no
water
or
sewage
with
that
being
said,
the
land
that
we're
trying
to
get
does
have
water
and
sewage
that'll.
Allow
us
that
we
don't
have
to
tap
in
from
the
Publix
down
the
road.
Now,
with
this
office,
you
know
we
are
trying
to
serve
the
people
of
pritchardville
I
mean
recently
I
had
a
patient
that
was
actually
from
Savannah.
K
There
was
no
one,
the
emergency
room
wasn't
taking
them
and
they
called
us
because
we're
the
only
one
that's
24
7.,
they
had
an
eye
issue,
they
called
and
they
had
to
drive
all
the
way
from
Savannah
not
being
able
to
see
what
happens
is
this
in
prichardville
this
happens,
they're
close,
they
have
someone
to
take
care
of.
So
the.
What
we're
trying
to
push
here
is
a
building
to
serve
the
people
at
pritchardville
to
give
them
the
access
of
eye
care
that
they
deserve.
K
And
if
you
look
at
that
as
pictures,
you
have
the
building
and
then
there's
a
piece
of
land,
but
no
that's
already
has
no
trees
on
it.
So
we're
not
taking
any
of
the
trees,
we're
not
trying
to
strip
it
down.
We're
actually
trying
to
add
some
beauty
to
that
area
to
that
road.
That
will
give
people
what
they
like
or
what
they
want
for
Eye
Care
to
say.
A
N
K
N
E
D
R
N
So
this
is
a
very
congested
area.
It's
right
in
around
my
district
and
I
agree
with
the
staff
about
the
spot,
zoning
and
just
more
concerns
about
commercial
in
that
area.
This
is
kind
of
an
exploding
area
and
I
questioned
since
this
is
on
in
Old
Town
Bluffton.
It's
really
not
that
far
away
for
somebody,
you
know
if
you're
coming
from
Savannah
you're,
not
that
far
to
get
to
this
one.
That's
why
I
asked
where
this
one
was.
S
S
A
E
A
Any
other
discussion
this
just
for
as
chairman
I
would
like
to
state
that
I
think
this
is
spot
zoning
and,
in
light
of
the
other
parcel
that
was
rezoned,
I
voted
against
it
when
it
came
up
before
I
I
I
think
this
is
spot
zoning
and
not
not
good
planning
practices
for
my
own
opinion.
So
we
need
to.
We
have
a
motion
good.
P
H
A
A
M
All
right,
this
particular
resounding
has
a
little
bit
of
History
to
it.
The
first
is,
if
you're
wondering
why
there's
two
little
properties
that
are
kind
of
sitting
out
there
on
their
own,
going
all
the
way
back
to
2000
this
used
to
be
a
T
intersection
with
171.
It
was
two
lanes
and
the
Kohler
tract
was
bounded.
You
know
by
170,
and
then
it
hit
462
and
then
turned
into
170
and
went
toward
Bluffton
in
the
early
2000s
Highway
170
was
widened
to
four
lanes.
M
That
intersection
was
smoothed
out,
so
it
would
be,
you
know,
wouldn't
be
a
T
intersection
and
it
rendered
two
small
properties
on
the
other
side,
still
part
of
the
cooler
tract
that
you
know
basically
on
the
Jasper
County
side,
but
still
in
Beaufort
County,
this
particular
property.
The
Kohler
tract,
is
surrounded
on
three
sides
by
old
field
and
back
earlier
actually,
last
year
in
the
spring,
this
went
before
the
Planning
Commission
has
proposed
rezoning.
That
was
a
combination
of
C3,
which
is
kind
of
a
Suburban
scale,
residential.
M
Then
C5,
which
was
commercial
multi-family
along
170.
at
that
time,
the
Planning
Commission
denied
or
recommended
denial
of
the
application
that
recommended
that
staff
work
with
the
applicant
on
some
solutions
to
the
property.
That
would
be
more
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
since
that
time
and
as
you're
aware,
Council
has
approved
the
pursuit
of
this
piece
of
land
as
a
future
County
property.
So
it's
it's
rendered
this
little
sliver
of
land
on
the
Jasper
County
side
still
own.
M
That
would
still
be
retained
by
the
owner
of
the
property
and
the
concern
is
with
the
t2
rural
zoning,
with
the
the
small
awkward
shape
of
that
property.
It
pretty
much
renders
the
property
useless,
and
so
the
recommendation
is
to
upsend
the
property
to
C4
Community
Center,
mixed
use,
which
is,
would
match
the
zoning
of
the
neighboring
property
on
that
side.
So
the
other
remnant
of
the
original
cooler
tract.
M
We
believe
that
that
would
still
it
would
allow
some
use
of
the
property.
It
would
be
very
limited
because
of
the
size
of
the
property
and
the
the
awkward
shape,
but
it
would
allow
some
use
of
this
property
by
the
by
the
owner
and
so
staff
recommends.
This
is
a
staff
initiated
Amendment,
recommend
approval
of
the
property
and
I
believe
Jared.
Did
you.
E
V
They
have
terms
on
how
far
it
can
be
from
a
particular
intersection.
I,
don't
know,
I
didn't
look
at
it
specifically
to
see
what
that
distance
is,
but
so
they
would
be
limited
to
a
write-in
right
out,
most
likely
on
the
the
point,
the
triangle
into
the
property
and
potentially
limited
on
where,
if,
if
and
when
an
access
could
be
granted
on
the
462
side
of
the
portion,
so
it
may
be
too
close
to
the
signal
as
well.
E
M
Concerned
about
the
170
Corridor
in
general,
and
so
when
staff
presented
this,
you
know
we
really
wanted
to
contrast
between
what
was
being
proposed
last
summer
when
it
was
the
entire
cooler
tract
in
the
up
zoning
to
just
this
Remnant.
You
know,
and
so
you
know
so,
I
would
say
that
it
mainly
had
to
do
with
concerns
about
170
the
170
Corridor,
which.
V
Say
traffic
traffic
was
the
biggest
concern
additionally,
with
the
cooler
track
that
that
is
being
potentially
purchased
on
a
separate
issue
to
the
South,
as
mentioned
in
the
previous
rezone,
and
that
there
was
some
up.
Zoning
requests
there,
whether
that
was
to
happen
or
not
to
be
a
different
story,
but
with
the
proposed
use
as
a
law
enforcement
center
that
that
is
reducing
the
the
traffic
impact
specific
to
that
area
in
that
intersection
alone.
V
T
V
T
E
D
D
U
R
A
Q
A
D
Q
I
think
I
think
the
plan
I
think
the
Planning
Commission,
so
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina,
the
Planning
Commission
is
charged
with
implementing
and
carrying
out
the
plans
that
are
given
to
them
by
the
County
Council
and
being
that
advisory
body
to
you
all.
So
their
job
is
to
look
at
the
Capital
Improvements
plan,
the
comprehensive
plan,
Transportation
plans
and
consider
all
of
those
long-term
plans
in
their
decision-making
process.
Q
It
appears
to
me
that
our
Planning
Commission
gets
bogged
down
into
one
too
much
public
input
from
people
that
do
not
understand
the
planning
process
and
they're
just
stating
their
opinion
about
what
they
think
should
occur
and
to
their
interjecting
their
own
personal
beliefs
too
much
into
the
planning
process
about
things
so
yeah
traffic
is
bad
on
170
today,
but
we
have
plans
in
place
to
correct
that
that
you
all
been
shared.
The
Planning
Commission
needs
to
consider
all
of
that
and
say
hey,
you
know
what
does
this
look
like?
D
Q
We'll
thank
you,
sir.
We're
going
to
bring
in
the
we're
going
to
bring
in
a
a
member
of
the
association
and
Counties
Legal
team,
A
guy
by
the
name.
John
DeLoach,
you
all
probably
received
some
of
you
have
probably
received
training
from
him.
He's
an
excellent
person
and
he
understands
planning
and
zoning
rules
and
regulations
and
Tom
and
I
will
be
working
with
him
to
bring
that
in.
A
O
A
O
Is
along
Sea,
Island,
Parkway
right,
Acro
right
nearby,
what
we
all
call
blocker
field
and
the
entrance
to
Saint
Helena.
The
current
zoning
is
T2
rural
with
the
CPO
overlay
and
the
total
price
for
this
property
is
80
000,
it's
approximately
1.15
Acres.
A
survey
has
been
completed
in
a
phase.
One
has
been
completed
and
returned
to
no
environmental
concerns.
O
This
property,
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
is,
is
best
seen,
and
you
can
see
that
it
adds
to
a
couple
of
other
shallow
properties
that
offer
immediate
visual
access
to
the
water
and
the
marshes.
Beyond
Challen
Creek
right
as
the
entrance
to
St
Helena,
reinforcing
rural
land
use
policies,
as
you
travel
essentially
across
an
urban
growth
boundary,
which
of
course,
is
a
policy
line,
but
as
a
visual
reminder,
traveling
from
a
Suburban
to
a
rural
community,
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
O
I
forgot
I
added
that
in
there,
but
you
can
see
it's
a
shallow
lot
and,
on
the
next
slide,
how
several
shallow
Lots,
along
Sea
Island
Parkway,
have
added
to
the
visual
aesthetic
that
you
see
and
feel
when
you
drive
onto
Saint
Helena
the
landowner
applied
to
the
rural
and
critical
program.
Last
year
and
again,
the
board
has
recommended
a
purchase
of
this
property
and
because
of
the
scenic
nature,
as
well
as
the
cooperative
relationship
between
the
open
land,
trust
and
Beaufort
County.
O
In
this
area,
the
open,
Land
Trust,
owns
and
maintains
nearby
blocker
field
and
will
provide
a
maintenance
agreement.
That
is
agreeable
to
your
legal
team
and
administration
prior
to
closing
such
that
the
open,
Land
Trust
can
continue
as
a
maintenance
partner.
Should
you
approve
to
purchase
this
property
and
the
property
would
be
maintained
in
keeping
with
the
way
the
open,
Land
Trust
maintains
blocker
field
or,
if
you
have
any
other
requests,
but
that's
the.
D
D
No,
no
I
just
want
to
Echo
what
Shaffer
said
about
this
property.
When
you
look
at
the
in
block
of
field
was
the
original
plan
from
conservation
easement
bought
by
this
County
that
started
the
whole
entire
program
and
it
has
a
nice
visitor
on
the
left
side
going
on
seeing
how
older
and,
if
you're
talking
about
closing
a
donut
hole.
D
This
is
like
closing
another
donut
hole
to
that
Vista,
going
on
the
left
hand
side,
because
beyond
that,
there's
also
property
that
the
ruling
critical
man
has
in
their
possession
and
so
there's
only
a
few
other
little
donut
Pockets
there
that
eventually
I
hope
we
can
actually
acquire
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
