Okay,
good
afternoon,
public
notice
of
this
meeting
has
been
published
and
posted
and
distributed
in
compliance
with
the
South
Carolina
Freedom
of
Information
Act.
Will
you
please
confirm
that
Miss
Brock
I'd
like
to
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda.
A
B
C
C
B
B
And
this
is
the
only
period
of,
and
the
people
who
have
signed
up
is
all
for
item
number
10..
If
there
is
anyone,
so
we
have
eight
people
who
signed
up,
but
we
only
have
time
for
five
people
at
three
minutes.
Each
and
I
will
not
be
giving
anyone
time
from
someone
else's
time.
So
the
first
five
people
who
signed
up
please
come
forward
when
your
name's
called
and
give
us
your
address
and
the
item
you
were
wishing
to
speak
about
Stuart
Yarborough,
foreign.
D
D
My
name
is
Stuart
Yarbrough.
My
family
has
lived
on
to
fusky
for
102
years
in
the
historic
district.
I
am
the
spokesperson
for
Dora
and
I
represent
120
people
on
dubusky
that
have
come
together
to
try
to
make
a
common
sense
recommendations
that
fit
the
fusky
Island's
unique
circumstances
you
see.
Dafusky
island
has
no
Bridge
those
that
come
over
stay
at
short-term
rentals.
It
is
the
lifeblood
of
defuskey's
economy.
There
are
currently
24
active,
short-term
rentals
in
the
historic
district,
which
is
approximately
four
square
miles.
D
The
proposal
by
the
defusky
island,
Council
We
Believe,
will
affect
the
poorest
group
of
people
that
live
on
dafusky
all
subdivision.
All
the
subdivisions
have
HOAs
that
will
be
exempt
from
the
rules.
These
will
include
subdivisions
in
the
historic
district.
So
let
me
explain:
the
council
said
they
do
not
want
large
investors
coming
in
and
turning
the
island
into
a
mini
Hotel
camp,
but
large
investors
could
buy
tracks
of
land
turn
them
into
subdivisions
and
four
form
HOAs
that
will
allow
strs
their
Str
is
to
bypass.
Ask
the
rules
before
you
the
proposal.
D
What
this
proposal
will
do,
in
effect,
will
will
affect
the
the
poorest
people
on
defluskey,
basically,
the
people
that
are
having
a
hard
time
moving
to
fafsky
and
want
to
offset
the
cost.
By
having
strs,
we
offered
three
different
compromises
that
we
feel
are
fair
to
all
parties.
One
conditional
use
for
historic
residents
in
the
historic
district.
These
residents
would
have
to
abide
by
a
list
of
conditions.
Violations
of
this
list
of
conditions
would
result
in
their
licensing
being
revoked.
Limited
conditional
use
based
on
Resident
2
would
be
limited.
D
Conditional
use
based
on
residency
status
of
the
individuals
applying
for
licensing.
This
wood
proposal
would
create
dafuskia
would
create
was
created
by
the
dafusky
island
codes
committee.
It
would
allow
three
short-term
rentals
per
resident
onto
fusky
and
one
short-term
rental
for
those
that
do
not
live
onto
fusky
under
conditional
use
afterwards,
they'd
be
subject
to
special
use,
permitting
again
violating
the
list
of
conditions
of
The
Proposal
would
would
result
and
their
licensing
being
revoked.
Three
grandfathering
under
conditional
use,
those
that
already
own
property
on
dafusky
again.
D
These
people
would
have
to
follow
the
same
list
of
conditions
or
their
licensing.
Would
be
revoked,
this
would
allow
people
that
have
already
invested
heavily
into
fusky
Island
properties
not
to
be
infected,
but
what,
by
what?
We
consider
an
effort
to
limit
or
restrict
cap
strs
in
any
way
possible?
All
these
have
been
rejected
in
a
way.
D
All
right,
thanks
can
I
present
some
please,
please.
D
One
one
thing-
and
this
is
the
data
that
was
collected
by
the
defusky
island
Council-
and
this
is
the
election
results
for
the
last
election.
Okay,.
B
E
Hi
I'm
Kate
Yarbrough
I
live
at
28
Prospect
Road
to
fusky
Island
South
Carolina.
My
name
is
Kate
Yarbrough
I've
been
a
member
of
the
flusky
island
Council
and
live
on
the
historical
district
I'm.
The
youngest
person
who's
ever
served
on
the
council,
I'm
fifth
generation
Islander
and
I'm
come
I
come
from
the
working
people
who
love
this
special
Island
and
help
make
it
what
it
is
today.
E
My
family
was
here
during
the
island
in
the
recession
that
started
in
2008
and
I
will
never
forget
the
hardships
that
we
went
through
when
it
was
difficult
to
earn
a
living.
The
main
reason
I
decided
to
run
for
Council
earlier
this
year
was
to
make
sure
that
no
other
families
have
to
go
through
what
we
did
when
I
ran
for
Council.
E
This
past
February
I
openly
supported
reasonable
regulations
for
vacation
rentals,
and
that
means
conditional
use
permitting
instead
of
special
use,
permitting
I
believe
my
position
on
the
issue
is
the
reason
why
I
was
the
second
highest
vote
getter
after
John
Schartner
out
of
six
candidates,
I
also
strongly
supported
open
meetings
and
a
transparent
process
with
which
quite
honestly
had
been
lacking.
Over
the
past
couple
years
last
month,
I
was
invited
by
a
group
of
locals
to
a
meeting
with
Mark
councilman
Mark
Lawson
to
discuss
the
Str
issue.
E
Mr
Lawson
recommended
the
best
way
to
approach.
The
issue
was
through
the
defusky
island
Council,
a
monthly
meeting
that
is
held
that
was
held
that
day,
which
was
when
I
sponsored
a
motion
to
change
the
council's
position
on
the
SDR
issue.
In
other
words,
the
motion
supported
conditional
use
permitting,
instead
of
special
use,
permitting
I,
have
given
a
copy
of
that
motion.
E
The
council
chairman
was
not
at
the
meeting
and
later
that
night
I
was
shocked
to
receive
an
email
from
him
saying
that
my
motion
was
illegal
because
there
was
not
a
seven
day
notice,
as
required
by
the
bylaws.
In
fact,
that
was
not
true
and
I
proved
him
and
the
other
council
members
that
that
requirement
was
not
in
the
bylaws
the
next
morning.
E
B
F
Good
morning
my
name
is
Deborah
Smith.
My
address
is
I
have
two
addresses
under
fusky:
seven
Forest
Lake
Drive
and
293
School
Road
I'm,
the
former
chair
of
the
defusky
island
Council
I,
served
on
it
for
six
years.
Was
the
chair
for
the
last
couple
years.
I
have
been
a
supporter
of
reasonable
STI
regulations.
This
isn't
a
pro
Str
anti-str.
There's
nobody
who's
been
involved.
This
doesn't
think
that
SDR
should
be
regulated.
F
The
compromise
that
was
hard
fought
and
came
after
almost
a
year
of
hearings
and
public
forums
and
so
on
and
so
forth
includes
the
most
extensive
list
of
conditions
that
we've
seen
anywhere
in
Beaufort
County
or
most
other
places.
Everybody
went
along
with
this
list
based
on.
There
have
been
conditional
permaining
step
instead
of
special
use
permitting,
however,
and
it
passed
unanimously
from
the
codes
committee.
However,
when
it
got
to
the
full
Council
the
chairman
didn't
like
that,
led
the
fight
against
it,
the
the
motion
Was
Defeated.
He
came
back
with
his
own
proposal.
F
That
would
had
everything
in
there
that
we
had
conceded
on,
but
had
taken
out
conditional
use
instead
put
in
special
use,
permitting
it's
a
great
burden
and
it's
very
onerous
for
people
under
the
fusky
to
have
to
go
through
the
process
of
coming
to
the
county
for
staff
meetings
and
then
coming
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
and
going
through
all
of
that
process.
And
you
know,
we've
been
told
that
other
people
in
unincorporated
Beaufort
County
do
this.
Defusky
is
different.
First
of
all,
we
have
our
own
defusky
Island
code
and
plan.
F
We
were
told
that,
if
that
the
community
make
its
views
known,
the
code
would
be
amended
by
the
council
and
second,
we
have
to
take
a
boat,
and
that
makes
it
much
more
difficult,
especially
with
five
o'clock
meetings
by
the
plannings
by
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
It
means
an
overnight
stay
for
for
guests,
it's
an
onerous
burden
and
it's
only
one,
that's
being
opposed
or
being
proposed
for
people
who
live
in
the
historic
district,
which
is
everything
outside
of
the
private
communities.
F
So
people
who
have
properties
in
the
more
affluent
bloody,
Point,
Melrose
and
other
areas
they
don't
have
to
go
through
this.
It's
only
what's
essentially
the
working
folks
in
dafusky
that
have
to
go
through
this
onerous
process
and
the
only
people
who
say
it's
not
a
problem
and
they
can
do
tweaks
and
they
can
make
it
easier.
The
only
people
who
are
saying
that
are
people
who
don't
have
to
go
through
the
process
themselves.
We're
asking
you
to
we
is,
as
Stewart
mentioned,
we
have
it's
been
said,
we're
not
compromising.
F
We
have
compromised
over
and
over
again,
we've
gone
along
with
four
three
compromised
versions,
and
every
one
of
them
has
been
torpedoed
in
one
way
or
another.
We
still
stand
ready
to
compromise
and
we
ask
you
to
either
amend
this
version
so
that
it's
conditional
use
instead
of
special
use
or
table.
It
tell
both
sides
to
get
together
and
come
up
with
another
compromise.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
G
Address
please
hi.
My
name
is
Taylor
Moran.
My
address
is
323
School,
Road
and
I.
Am
a
member
of
the
defusky
Allen
Council
I've
lived
over
onto
fusky
for
four
years
and
I
clean
strs,
I,
clean
residential
houses,
I
walk
a
Str
guests
dogs
I,
take
care
of
their
dogs.
I
also
take
care
of
a
number
of
other
properties
with
Str
owners
Etc,
and
there
are
a
group
of
the
Str
owners
that
I
take
care
of.
G
They
are
out
of
state,
so
they
can't
always
get
down
here
to
South
Carolina
to
come
to
these
meetings
to
talk
about
getting
their
permits
and
the
zoning
and
stuff
so
I
am
asking
to
for
conditional
use
on
my
behalf
of
the
people
that
I
help
with
their
strs,
just
because
that's
a
huge
hassle
and
with
for
with
their
families
and
their
jobs.
They
can't
always
come
down
here
for
all
of
the
zoning
meetings
and
whatnot.
G
So
I
also
want
you
guys
to
know
that
we
are
us
on
the
pro
Str
conditional
use.
We
are
more
than
happy
to
sit
down
with
the
people
that
oppose
that
and
talk
about
it
and
they
a
lot
of
people,
think
we
are
not
willing
to
compromise.
But
we
are
thank
you.
H
Ma'am,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
having
me
here
today.
My
name
is
Sally
Anna
Robinson
I
am
sixth
generation
born
native
of
the
fusky
island.
I
live
at
188
School
Road
I
would
like
to
say
that
the
fusky
island
is
my
homeboy
and
raised
and
I've
seen
many
things
come
and
go
to
and
from
that
island
and
I
know.
When
people
come
there.
The
first
thing
they
do
is
fall
in
love
with
it.
H
Well
been
in
love
with
it
all
my
life
and
she'll
continue
on
behalf
of
the
scr
the
purpose
of
me
and
speaking
on.
What's
going
on
a
lot
of
it,
I'll
be
honest
with
you,
it's
confusing,
because
people
keep
talking
from
one
ear
to
the
other,
but
all
in
all,
I
myself
is
working
on
restoring
some
of
the
Gullah
homes
on
dafusky
island,
basically
because
the
native
who
have
been
living
there,
the
ancestors
are
gone
folks
have
left
the
island
for
whirlpools,
have
left
for
medical
reason,
health
and
all
this
stuff.
H
Now
these
homes
are
in
despair,
I'm
trying
my
best
to
get
these
houses
one
at
a
time
back
up
and
running
and
have
it
as
short-term
rentals,
so
that
folks
can
come
and
enjoy
not
only
their
history
but
hear
the
stories
be
a
part
of
the
first
game
and
a
community
that
we
would
love
to
have
without
the
bickering
and
sides
taking
we
on
that
island.
H
Sometimes
you
get
up,
and
you
don't
know
if
you
can
get
over.
Basically,
because
sometimes
you
got
to
deal
with
your
car
when
you
get
to
the
other
side,
we
have
a
lot
of
things
that
get
in
our
way,
but
most
of
all,
please
I
am
asking,
if
tabling
it
for
us
to
come
together
and
really
talk
about
these
issues
would
help.
I
am
for
that
trying
to
just
be
a
part
of
a
community
that
I
would
like
us
to
all
understand
that
we
are.
H
Are
there
and
no
matter
what
we're
gonna
the
fusky
is
a
beautiful
place
to
be
and
live
as
my
grandma
mom
and
ancestors
before
me,
came
and
they've
also
fought
for
things
happening
on
the
island
and
also
their
love,
for
it
left
me
in
their
spot
to
speak
out
benefiting
what
would
help
us
on
that
island.
Thank.
B
C
I
Okay,
perfect
I
just
want
to
thank
the
council
committee
for
the
opportunity
to
stand
before
you.
My
purpose
today
is
just
to
highlight
and
introduce
to
you
guys
some
of
the
programs
that
SC
State
University
extension
program
is
doing
here
in
Beaufort
County
as
I
understand
that
everyone
is
not
aware
of
what
we're
doing
so.
This.
I
10
minutes
worth
of
information,
but
I'm
going
to
be
brief.
It's
bulleted,
so
I
can
bring
it
to
your
attention,
if
you
guys
will
bear
with
me
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
here
that
since
1896
we
have
been
given
the
authority
by
federal
and
state
government
to
conduct
research
and
extension
services
through
our
land
grant
University
status.
As
it
mentioned,
we
are
a
network
of
100
land-grant
universities
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina.
There
are
two
land
grant
universities,
so
we
have
Clemson
University
extension
service
at
SC,
State
University.
I
We
provide
extensive
services,
but
the
thing
that
I
do
want
to
highlight
here
is
that
we
do
plan
our
program.
Planner
work
on
a
five
four
year
basis,
so
that
we're
not
duplicating
service.
So
we
provide
our
program
so
that
we
may
assist
each
other,
but
we're
not
there's
no
duplication
of
services.
This
is
our
mission
and
it's
simple.
I
We
our
focus,
is
to
innovate
ideas
so
that
we
can
educate
our
decisions,
constituents
and,
as
ultimately,
elevating
their
quality
of
life
as
I
mentioned
service
is
our
product,
and
so
our
goal
is
to
ensure
that
all
of
our
services
are
influenced
by
these
core
values.
These
eight
core
values.
I
Now
you'll
have
you'll
hear
me
refer
to
our
services
at
the
Lowcountry
region.
We
serve
the
state
on
a
regional
basis,
so
the
Low
Country
region,
which
includes
Beaufort
County,
is
served
through
the
Hampton
County
office.
So
our
office
is
housed
in
Hampton
County.
We
serve
Beaufort,
Allendale,
Collington
and
then
also
Jasper
College.
I
These
are
our
priorities
that
is
established
by
the
United
States
government
Department
of
Agriculture,
and
these
are
our
five
areas.
We
have
Youth
Development
community
and
economic
development,
education,
Innovation
and
support
family
nutrition
and
health,
and
then
also
sustainable
agricultural,
natural
resources
program
and
I'll.
Give
you
a
little
bit
of
highlights
of
what
those
five
programs
are
here
in
a
second
I.
Do
want
to
bring
your
attention
our
capacity
to
serve
the
county.
As
we
speak,
the
the
ones
highlighted
in
the
red
is
the
family,
nutrition
and
health
agent.
I
We
currently
have
a
part-time
employee,
we're
actually
in
the
process
of
interviewing
for
a
full-time
employee,
so
at
full
capacity
we
would
have
a
full-time
and
a
part-time
employee
for
family
nutrition
and
health,
and
then
the
community
economic
developing
development
agent
is
currently
vacant.
So
all
of
our
program
areas
is,
we
assign
an
educator
which
we
call
agents
to
conduct
Educational
Services
across
the
region.
I
We
try
to
establish
all
of
our
Outreach
Services
through
a
strategic
partnership,
and
so
this
is
a
list
of
some
of
the
Partnerships
that
we
try
to
employ.
So,
of
course,
we
have
the
Department
of
Agriculture.
We
have
nifa,
which
is
our
funding
source,
with
a
strong
partnership
with
Department
of
Agriculture
and
then
on
a
local
basis.
We
definitely
network
with
local
agencies,
school
districts,
small
farmers,
small
businesses,
non-profits
things
of
that
nature.
I
What
I
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
here
is
that
last
bullet,
our
target
audience
is
limited
resource,
underserved,
socially
disadvantaged
individuals,
and
what
that
normally
looks
like
is
we
typically
don't
saw,
don't
charge
any
anything
for
our
services.
If
we
do
it's
going
to
be
at
maybe
a
three
to
four
percent
basis
as
a
prime
example
we're
getting
we're
gearing
up
for
summer
camps
at
this
moment,
and
we
do
a
lot
of
residential
camps.
Typically,
a
residential
Camp
would
cost
us
anywhere
from
800
to
1200
a
piece.
I
Our
forage
and
youth
development
program
I
assume
that
some
of
you
guys
may
be
familiar
with
4-H.
Hopefully
some
of
you
guys
have
been
for
participants
growing
up,
but
we
also
picked
up
forage
programs.
We
specialize
in
most
of
the
youth
development
programs,
but
these
are
our
four
program
areas:
priority
areas,
some
citizenship,
Civic
engagement,
leadership,
things
of
that
nature,
Healthy
Lifestyles
programs,
financial
management.
I
We
adopt
the
money,
smart
curriculum,
which
is
designed
by
the
FDIC
and
then
also
our
stream,
which
is
science,
technology,
reading
engineering,
arts
and
Agriculture,
and
then
also
mathematics,.
I
Community
and
economic
development
program
now,
while,
like
I
said
earlier,
we
do
not
have
an
agent,
so
what
we
do
when
it's
when
applicable,
we
call
on
the
services
of
our
Statewide
program
team
leader
to
provide
these
Services
Small,
Business,
Development,
non-profit
organization,
development,
securing
funding
sources
for
small
businesses
and
non-profits
Grassroots
organizations,
things
of
that
nature.
We
also
help
with
website
development,
and
then
we
do
adult
and
also
youth
entrepreneurship,
developer.
I
I
Healthy,
whether
it
be
Social
Development,
whether
that
be
Financial
engagement,
it's
designed
to
engage
the
family
in
these
full
capacities
to
include
the
last
bullet
mental
health
capacity,
and
then
we
focus
a
lot
on
our
food,
nutrition
and
education
program.
We
know
that
here
in
the
southern
part
of
the
state,
we
have
some
cultural
eating
habits
that
not
as
necessarily
healthy
for
us.
So
we
try
to
gauge
those
and
provide
some
healthy
alternatives
to
our
clientele,
education,
Innovation
and
support.
I
This
is
a
fancy
way
for
us
to
say
Career,
Development,
College
and
Career
Development.
So
we
try
to
engage
our
high
school
participants.
This
is
designed
specifically
for
high
school
students
to
help
them
come
up
with
a
strategic
approach
to
life,
After
High
School.
What
we
found
through
research
is
that
a
lot
of
our
participants,
especially
in
our
underserved
populations
and
first
generation
populations.
They
randomly
pick
a
college.
They
randomly
pick
a
a
major
and
sometimes
may
not
be
the
best
fit.
I
Our
sustainable
agricultural
program
is
for
short,
this
is
our
small
farm
assistance
program.
For
the
most
part,
we
engage
small
farmers,
home
Garden
participants
and
things
of
that
nature
to
help
improve
their
operation,
whether
it
be
helping
them
find
resources,
helping
improve
their
resources
or
helping
them
manage
their
resources.
A
whole
lot
more
wisely.
I
One
of
the
things
where
most
of
us
successful
here
is
on
the
top
there.
My
agriculture
agent
went
to
visit
a
a
small
farm
just
to
kind
of
do
a
crop
starting
and
they
were
so
pleased.
They
took
a
picture
and
posted
on
Facebook.
So
we
took
that
picture
directly
from
Facebook
on
social
media.
They
wanted
the
post
that
they
passed
their
assessment
that
day-
and
these
are
some
of
the
program
highlights
across
the
region
and
the
most
the
ones.
Most
specifically
is
a
Statewide
program.
I
So
what
we
did
is
Target
Target,
small
farm
producers
and
products
that
they've
already
been
growing,
and
then
we
give
them
assistance
in
research
and
demonstration
of
how
to
make
sure
those
practices
are
eco-friendly
and
we're
going
to
give
them
a
financial
incentive
anywhere
from
200
to
1500
per
acre.
We
have
about
40
participants
already
registered
across
the
region.
A
book
distribution
tour,
we're
extremely
proud
of.
We
got
a
network
funding,
proper
partnership
with
Molina
foundation
and
that
six
thousand
dollar
book
distribution
was
specific
to
the.
I
To
date,
I
think
we
distributed
about
1500
in
Beaufort,
County
alone,
a
residential
Camp
experiences
like
I
said.
We
talked
a
lot
about
that
because
that's
a
great
opportunity,
most
of
the
time
those
participants
they're
the
first
time
away
from
home.
We
take
them
away
from
home
for
a
week
and
we
teach
them
some
healthy
lifestyle
skills.
Some
basic
life
skills,
a
service
education
award.
We've
been
we've
received
this
from
several
school
districts
across
the
low
country
area
for
just
doing
school
enrichment
programs.
I
We
also
offer
scholarship
opportunities
this
summer,
we're
going
to
be
hiring
college
students
to
participate
in
our
summer
internship
program
and
then
more
specifically
with
us
being
a
very
rural
area.
We
focus
a
lot
on
risk
management,
education
for
our
small
foreign
participants-
and
this
is
just
another
highlight
of
some
of
the
regions
that
we
serve
across
the
state
and
we
expect
it
to
add
three:
two
regions-
I'm
sorry
here
in
the
near
future.
I
This
is
the
breakdown
of
some
of
the
program.
What
our
programs
have
done
in
the
past,
but
more
specifically
I,
wanted
to
show
that
we
increase
maybe
10
to
15
participation
on
an
annual
basis.
So,
as
you
can
see,
our
the
forest
Youth
Development
is
going
to
go
for
maybe
1900
to
about
2500
and
that's
that's
per
educator.
I
And
that's
our
totals
they're
per
Educators
expected
to
go
up
from
about
3
800
to
4
800
on
an
annual
basis
benefits
to
Beaufort
County,
and
this
is
specific
to
the
we
went
back
and
did
all
the
evaluations
for
participants
from
Beaufort
County
in
the
past,
and
what
we've
shown
is
that
85
percent
of
the
participants
indicate
knowledge
gain
at
the
end
of
the
program.
50
of
those
participants
have
indicated
or
displayed
a
change
in
behavior,
and
so
what
that
means
is
on
day
one.
C
I
At
the
end
of
the
program
we've
shown
with
they've
increased
their
fruit
intake,
so
increase
their
water
intake
or
physical
activity.
We
also
provide
indirect
educational
resources.
I
This
is
big
to
us
because
to
serve
on
a
regional
basis
and
we're
limited
to
about
seven
Educators
to
serve
five
counties,
and
so
what
we'll
do
when
we
have,
when
we
have
requests
that
we
can't
physically
do
in
person
we'll
do
a
train,
the
trainer
or
we'll
provide
the
resources
for
a
school
or
a
church
or
Community
Center
or
even
a
farmer,
so
that
they
can
have
the
information
that
they're
you
know
at
their
disposal
and
then,
of
course,
Agriculture
and
Small
Business
technical
assistance.
I
As
I
noted
in
the
picture,
we
do
a
lot
of
one-on-one
demonstrations
and
workshops
with
our
small
farm
participants,
and
so
with
all
that
being
said,
I
do
have
a
request
for
the
county.
This
is
why
I'm
here,
but
I,
think
you
guys
would
be
glad
to
find
that
we're
not
asking
for
money.
Today.
I
Our
request
is
just
a
letter
of
report
saying
that
the
Beaufort
County
is
in
tune
with
some
of
the
services
that
we're
providing
and
you
support
us
to
continue
serving
the
constituents
of
Beaufort
County.
Also,
we
want
to
income
request
for
facility
use
when
applicable,
there's
times
where
we're
just
looking
for
facilities
to
conduct.
Services
conduct,
workshops,
programs,
things
of
that
nature,
and
so,
when
applicable,
we
would
love
for
those
uses
to
be
in
kindness.
You
know
maybe
waiting
the
service
fee
or
things
like
that.
I
Next
request
is
Advocates
and
volunteer
referrals.
When
we're
designing
our
programs
we'd
like
to
get
feedback
from
the
liberal
constituents,
so
we
would
love
to
have
some
individuals
if
you
guys
have
somebody
that
you
can
refer
to
us
that
maybe
can
sit
on
the
focus
group
or
sit
on
an
advisor
console
and
advise
us
on
how
we
can
enhance
our
program
delivery.
That's
a
big
part
of
our
program
and
the
last
thing
is
assistance
with
marketing.
I
So
whenever
we're
doing
a
program
that
is
specific
to
Beaufort,
County
is
going
to
benefit
the
constituents
of
Beaufort
County.
We
just
asked
that
you
guys
will
consider
helping
us
promote
that,
whether
it
be
on
the
the
Beaufort
County
website
or
social
media
markets
that
you
may
have.
J
I,
just
throw
something
out
there
listening
to
you.
First
of
all,
fantastic
appreciate
you
spending
the
time
right
now,
it's
excellent
anything
we
can
do
to
help
you
please
let
us
know
what
type
of
relationship
do
you
have
with
the
southern
Alliance
or
the
Beaufort
economic
Business,
Development
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
Hank,
maybe
a
little
bit,
but
is
there
any
commonality
there?
Are
you
communicating
or
getting
some
guidance
from
this,
these
incredible
groups?
We
have.
I
Well,
hopefully,
we
can
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I'm
here
to
enhance
this
partnership,
as
I
mentioned,
currently
that
that
position
is
vacant
well,.
J
Let
me
tell
you
I
three
months
into
this:
never
had
this
type
of
position,
three
months
in
this
Council.
Let
me
we
have
incredible
people,
this
John
O'toole
with
the
Economic
Council
and
the
folks
at
the
southern
Alliance
I
think
you
guys
are
doing
pretty
well
I
I'd
like
to
talk
to
him
about
this
and
get
something
home,
but
these
kids
I
think
they
benefit
immensely
I.
Think
we
learn
a
lot
as
well.
F
I
K
C
A
You
they're
they've,
been
involved
in
Beaufort
County
for
years,
and
Mr
Hamilton
did
not
really
talk
about
the
difference.
He
kind
of
summarize
the
difference
between
the
1890
and
1862
extension
service.
A
But
let
me
just
say
this
that
I've
worked
with
the
1862
he's
worked
with
1890.
there's
always
been
on
the
local
level,
a
good
relationship
between
the
agencies
we
have
done
when
I
was
working
with
Clemson
we've
done
programs
together,
we've
supported
each
other
and
one
of
the
things
I
would
say.
A
Clemson
has
always
been
an
agency
that
worked
a
lot
with
larger,
more
advanced
Farmers
1890
has
really
worked
with
a
lot
of
small
farmers
and
working
with
them,
so
it
has
really
done
a
great
job
of
balancing
the
two
and
so
there's
no
duplication
of
services.
There's
a
lot
out
there
for
both
agencies
to
be
addressing
what
they
really
work
with
these
small
producers.
Well,
that's
right!
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
because
he
wouldn't
say
thank.
C
I
Actually,
we
do
actually
we
do
my
family's
nutrition
and
health
agents
as
well
as
we
have
expanded
nutrition
education
program.
We
do
a
lot
with
the
senior
citizens
we
go
in
and
and
do
a
lot
of
Healthy
Lifestyles
programs
and
a
lot
of
times
we
do
extra
physical
activities
at
you
know
physical
activity
exercises
that
they
could
do
at
home,
so
without
equipment,
so
whether
it
be
sitting
down
standing.
B
I
Yeah,
so
we're
actually
working
on
that
we're
actually
sorry
I
didn't
mean
to
cut
you
short,
but
we're.
Actually,
you
know
having
conversation
with
some
of
the
parks
and
recs
and
YMCAs
to
help
with
some
of
their
summer
programming
so
that
we
can
come
in
and
teach
some
Healthy
Lifestyles
and
some
Youth
Development
activities.
C
B
L
You
introduce
yourself,
I
am
Amanda,
Guthrie
I
am
with
South
Carolina
sea
Grant
Consortium,
like
we're
hearing
about
the
land
grant.
We
are
a
sea
Grant,
and
so
for
our
ways.
We
work
in
coastal
and
Marine
environments
and
we
are
actually
a
state
agency,
and
so
we
serve
all
of
coastal,
South,
Carolina
and
More
in
terms
of
resiliency
efforts
to
Fisheries
improvements
and
those
connections
as
well.
L
So
today,
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
a
project
that
we
are
working
in
collaboration
of
many
people
that
we
have
commonly
termed
Beaufort,
County,
adapts
sea
level
rise,
impacts
beneath
our
feet,
and
so
with
this
we
are
working
with
Beaufort
County,
as
I
said:
South,
Carolina,
sea
Grant,
South,
Carolina
DNR,
and
the
a
space
and
National
Ice
Cream
research,
Reserve
College
of
Charleston,
as
well
as
university,
University
of
South
Carolina,
and
so
what
do
I
mean
by
sea
level
rise
impacts
beneath
our
feet.
L
L
This
is
our
Fort
Plasky
tide
gauge,
and
this
is
the
closest
NOAA
tide
gauge
to
this
region,
and
it
was
installed
in
the
late
1930s
and
since
1930
we
can
see
that
there's
been
about
a
foot
of
sea
level
rise
and
that
rate
of
sea
level
rise
is
also
increasing,
and
so
not
only
are
we
expecting
more
sea
level
rise
sea
level,
we're
expecting
it
to
be
faster,
and
this
is
not
only
affecting
the
land
that
we
see.
This
is
again
affecting
our
groundwater
as
well.
L
So
here
we
have
the
title:
predictions
of
tidal,
induced
flooding
based
off
of
the
sport,
Pulaski
gauge,
and
so
the
teal
or
the
light
blue
color
is
the
predicted
number
number
of
days
of
tidal
floods
for
the
next
100
years,
or
so.
The
dark
blue
is
going
to
be
the
number
of
tidal
floods
based
off
of
the
intermediate
emission
scenario,
whereas
the
light
blue
is
the
intermediate
low
and
the
bottom
graph
here
and
the
Orange
is
the
number
of
actual
days
of
title
driven
flooding
within
the
area.
L
So
another
consideration
that
we
have
due
to
climate
change
effects
is
going
to
be
what
we
commonly
call
Rain
bomb.
So
this
is
not
necessarily
a
scientific
term,
but
you
all
might
have
experienced
this,
and
so
this
is
a
intensive
rainstorm
we've
seen
about
in
the
news
or
Fort
Lauderdale
last
month
of
just
a
very
intensive
storm,
so
that
storm
is
beyond
what
a
typical
rain
bomb
is,
but
these
are
going
to
be
your
high
intensity,
rainstorms
and
thunderstorms
that
sit
over
an
area
and
dump
water.
L
So
not
only
is
this
a
problem
for
our
groundwater,
this
is
also
like
sea
level
rise,
increasing
due
to
climate
change,
and
so
we
only
have
so.
We
have
both
effects
of
groundwater
due
to
Silver
eyes,
as
well
as
groundwater
from
this
increasing
rain
and
precipitation.
L
So
this,
what
does
this
mean
for
our
underground
infrastructure?
And
so
many
people
in
the
county?
Many
people
along
coastal
South,
Carolina
are
going
to
be
based,
are
using
septic
tanks
or
septic
systems,
and
so
how
a
septic
system
works
is
that
a
septic
tank
will
collect
sewage
and
that
will
slowly
distribute
the
septic
into
a
drain
field
and
that
drain
field
then
decomposes
and
takes
care
of
the
septic
sewage.
L
But
when
we
have
groundwater
Rising,
that
area
has
less
ability
to
actually
manage
and
mitigate
the
septic
system.
So
this
will
cause
outflow
of
more
nutrients
into
our
Waters,
as
well
as
cause
problems
with
septic
rising
to
the
surface,
because
the
water
is
coming
up
as
well,
and
so
we
we
have
impacts
where
people
have
seen
septic
in
their
backyards,
as
well
as
there
has
been
evidence
of
water
being
affected
by
more
fecal.
Fecal
claw
form
next
slide,
please.
So
what.
L
This,
what
does
this
mean
so
as
the
project
team
that
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
we
have
installed
Wells
across
the
Beaufort
County?
So
we
are
working
with
four
different
communities
working
with
Saint,
Helena,
Mossy,
Oaks,
Shell,
Point
and
all
joy
and
across
these
different
communities
we
have
15
different
Wells,
and
so
these
Wells
are
pretty
shallow.
This
is
getting
your
shallow
water
about
two
to
four
meters
and
they're,
able
to
assess
the
salinity
so
assessing
this.
L
The
tidal
water
impacts,
the
water
level,
as
well
as
the
water
temperature,
and
so
through
this
we're
able
to
under
we're
able
to
understand
where
the
water
is,
and
so
you
can
see
the
wells
in
these
pictures
that
are
being
installed
so
they're,
fairly
low
along
the
surface
as
well
and
they're.
Basically,
just
PVC
pipes
with
data
recorders
in
the
middle
next
slide
please.
L
So
this
is
some
of
our
preliminary
data
that
we're
finding,
and
so
this
top
figure
what
I
have
graph
one
is
rainfall
is
actually
the
rainfall
that's
been
collected
by
not
by
nearby
rain
gauges
from
Weather
Underground,
and
you
can
see
that
there
are
seasonal
implications
of
higher
rain
when
it
Peaks
to
the
top.
Then
we
also
have
the
tie
gauges
and
again.
This
is
going
to
be
a
fort
Pulaski
tie
gauge
and
we
see
the
up
and
down
of
the
dailymotions.
L
L
Not
all
of
our
wells,
as
we
can
see
well
number
two
is
down
below
and
has
not
reached
that
level,
but
septic,
but
but
SC1
well,
number
one
is
in
that
zone
next
slide,
please,
and
so
what
we're
wanting
to
do
is
we're
wanting
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
where
we
are
so.
L
These
Wells
are
in
here
for
about
a
year
so
far,
and
we
expect
another
year
of
data
and
that
data
will
be
used
to
predict
how
many
times
we're
expecting
well
the
septic
systems
to
have
impairment
if
they
were
at
that
location,
as
well
as
understanding
what
that
means
in
the
context
of
climate
change
due
to
both
sea
level
rise
as
well
as
precipitation.
L
Additionally,
we're
wanting
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
how
communities
are
engaging
with
this
and
their
Community
perceptions,
and
so
we
are
planning
to
have
four
different
meetings
across
these
four
different
communities
that
we
have
mentioned
and
understand
and
socialize
this
project.
So
we
also
want
to
hear
about
their
perceptions
and
their
understandings
of
groundwater
and
any
septic
considerations
that
they
have
already
had
with
this.
We
are
also
going
to
be
expanding
on
a
survey.
L
Lastly,
what
we
will
get
a
more
detailed
discussion
groups
together
to
understand
how
people
are
feeling
and
dive
into
those
ideas
better
and
the
intent
of
this
is
getting
a
better
understanding
of
where
people
stand
and
what
people's
acceptance
of
of
what
they
want
to
do
with
this
and
provide
that
resources
and
data
to
others.
So
the
county
and
others
within
the
county
can
make
better
decisions
on.
A
Sir
sure
you
thank
you
and
we've
been
sort
of
waiting
for
this
study
to
come
to
come
back
to
the
public,
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
you're
getting
some
preliminary
data
at
this
time.
A
You
know
two
concerns
I
have
and
you
didn't
touch
on
one
of
them,
but
you
touched
on
septank
system
and
that's
a
that's
a
needed
on
some
areas
of
Saint
Helena
and
ladies
Island
particular
I,
think
you
have
wells
and
Wausau
and
Eustis
area
and
stuff.
So
those
are
low-lining
areas,
so
we're
looking
to
see
what
that
data
is
going
to
show
and
then
hopefully,
some
recommendation
coming
forward
from
that
as
well.
A
The
other
one
I
did
not
talk
touched
based
on
is
salt
water
intrusion
in
the
aquifer.
Did
the
study
address
that
at
all?
Is
that
something
that
need
further
data
on,
because
one
of
the
concerns
I
have
is
basically
in
the
aquifer,
where
a
lot
of
our
Farmers,
both
small
and
large,
are
using
that
groundwater
to
irrigate
their
crops
and
salt
water
will
just
eliminate
that
completely.
So,
where
are
you
with
that?
If
you
are
you
doing
in
this
study
in
that
area,.
A
L
Yeah
within
the
the
first
few
meters
of
the
soil,
the
wells
that
they're
getting
water
from
are
going
to
be
much
deeper
and
the
wells
that
we
are
seeing.
The
the
very
Coastal
Wells
we're
seeing
one
to
four
inches
of
difference
due
to
Tidal
influence.
And
so
there
is,
there
is
tidal
influence,
but
it
is
fairly
minimal.
It's
primarily
precipitation
because
they're
at
the
surface,
so
this
I
understand
that
it's
absolutely
concerned,
and
particularly
the
over
pumping
and
what
that
means
for
salt
water
intrusion.
But
this
data
has
not
been
able
to
speak
to.
M
Something
yeah
just
one
question:
it's
the
first
time,
I've
ever
seen
someone
talk
about
a
foot
of
of
sea
level
rise.
Can
you
make
sure
Sarah
gets
that
so
that
we
can
all
look
at
that
because
you
know
I've
never
seen
that
put
into
a
graph
before
or
shown
that.
L
Absolutely
yeah
you
can
have
I've
set.
My
slides
and
I
also
have
I,
don't
have
that
on
a
handout,
but
I
do
have
other
handouts
to
provide
I.
B
Would
like
to
encourage
you
to
work
with
our
public
information
people
about
your
meeting,
so
we
can
get
two
two
of
those
areas
are
in
my
district
and
all
Joys
and
Mark's
district
and
St
Helen
of
councilman
Glover,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
septic
tanks
in
our
districts
and
we,
we
hear
anecdotal
things
about
the
fecal
coliform,
but
it's
good
to
see
it
on
a
graph
too.
So.
B
But,
and
we
and
we
would
like
to
know
we'd
like
to
be
at
those
meetings
when
you
have
them
because
we're
we
should
have
a
lot
of
public
interest
in
this,
so
anything
else
comments.
Thank
you.
It's
very
interesting
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
thanks,
okay.
Next
we
have
another
presentation
about
a
new
program
and
I've.
Yes,
who
will
I
think
Miss
Schaefer?
Will
you
be
presenting
okay
and
if
you
want
to
introduce
others
involved?
Yes,
thank.
N
You
I'm
Kate
Schaefer
I'm,
the
director
of
land
protection
with
the
open,
Land,
Trust
and
I'm
here
today
to
talk
about
our
new
Sentinel
landscape
designation.
N
There
are
two
handouts
in
your
backup:
materials
and
I
have
extra
copies
for
anybody
that
wants
a
hard
copy
today,
but
first,
let
me
just
start
off
and
say
thanks
for
whoever
set
this
agenda,
because
we
have
three
runners
on
base
and
I
kind
of
feel,
like
we're
batting
cleanup
here
with
our
Sentinel
landscape
announcements
today,
really
building
on
what
we've
talked
about
already,
which
is
supporting
working
farms
and
protecting
our
communities
against
sea
level
rise
and
becoming
more
resilient.
N
So
we're
here
to
start
a
conversation
about
placing
putting
forward
some
tools
to
help
tackle
some
of
those
problems
and
with
me
today,
I
do
have
three
of
our
Sentinel
landscape
Partners,
three
women.
You
know
very
well:
Tracy
Spencer,
the
environmental
director
with
Paris
Island,
Mary,
Ryan
Krieger,
the
deputy
Community
plans
and
liaison
officer
with
Marine
Corps
Air,
Station,
Beaufort
and
Stephanie
Rossi,
the
planning
director
at
elcog
and
this
whole
designation
and
the
application
process.
N
And
what
I'm
about
to
talk
about
really
wouldn't
have
happened
without
the
three
of
them:
Without
Partners
and
I'll
name
a
few.
But
one
of
the
things
that
we're
most
proud
of
in
receiving
this
designation
is
the
broad
partnership
that
we
have,
and
the
federal
government
actually
acknowledged
and
thanked
us
for
that
when
we
applied
so.
N
Is
it
to
be
designated
as
a
sentinel
landscape
and
what
does
it
mean
for
Beaufort
County
moving
forward
yeah
yeah?
Well,
the
Sentinel
landscape
program
is
a
program
that
was
started
by
the
Department
of
Defense
back
in
2013,
so
it's
celebrating
its
10th
anniversary
and
really
one
of
the
goals
was
to
build
on
the
success.
The
Department
of
Defense
had
been
experiencing
with
its
reppi
program
and
you
all
know
the
reppi
program.
N
N
Marine
Corps
Partners
could
put
a
lot
of
umph
around
that
explanation,
but
that
one
makes
sense
to
me
and
hopefully
makes
sense
to
everybody.
Listening,
The
Sentinel
landscape
program
emerged
from
that,
because
the
Department
of
Defense
had
seen
so
much
success
and
an
opportunity
for
further
partnership.
N
So
the
Sentinel
landscape
partnership
is
a
program
between
the
Department
of
Defense,
the
department
of
interior
and
the
USDA,
so
we're
combining
a
lot
of
federal
resources,
Forest
Service,
NOAA
fish
and
wildlife
service,
national
parks,
these
federal
agencies
that
sometimes
operate
in
silos
and
that
can
work
together
to
support
defense
missions
throughout
the
country.
There
are
11
Sentinel
landscapes
in
the
South
Carolina
low
country,
with
designated
as
the
11th
in
March,
and
so
in
your
backup
materials.
You
have
a
flyer
showing
the
map
of
what
we
now
call
the
South
Carolina
Low
Country,
Sentinel
landscape.
N
Our
landscape
is
2.2
million
acres
and
includes
Marine
Corps
Air
Station
Beaufort,
Marine,
Corps,
Recruit,
Depot,
Paris
Island,
and
what
we
commonly
refer
to
as
the
Navy
hospital,
and
it
also
protects
the
spaces
between
the
installations
which
in
our
case
means
the
space
between
Marine
Corps,
Air,
Station.
Beaufort
and
Townsend
bombing
range
across
the
Savannah
River
in
Georgia,
so
the
purple
outline
on
that
map
is
the
outline
of
the
landscape.
I'll,
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
it.
N
55
percent
of
the
Total
Landscape
includes
or
I'm
sorry
55
of
the
total
salt
marsh
in
South
Carolina
is
within
this
landscape,
which,
when
we
think
about
resilience
and
sea
level
rise,
allowing
salt
marsh
to
continue
to
exist
as
an
ecosystem,
type
and
marshes
to
migrate
inward
as
sea
levels
rise,
is
going
to
be
really
important
for
the
resilience
of
our
larger
Community,
but
certainly
our
bases
that
are
front
lines
and
77
of
our
landscape
is
the
military
training
route.
So
not
just
the
area
immediately.
N
What
does
this
mean?
We
hope
that
this
Synergy
between
federal
agencies
and
state
and
local
Partners
in
this
2.2
million
acre
area
will
Foster
some
Partnerships
that
will
allow
us
to
be
more
efficient
with
any
federal
dollars
that
are
available
in
the
form
of
Grants,
essentially
by
pledging
to
work
together.
We
are
well
positioned
to
take
advantage
of
federal
resources
that
are
coming
to
the
table,
because
we
can
share
ideas
and
make
those
dollars
go
farther
and
be
used
more
efficiently.
N
We
also
hope
it
will
Foster
Partnerships,
along
with
private
landowners
that
are
continuing
to
farm
or
Groceries
on
their
property
or
support
the
local
economy
in
some
way,
shape
or
form,
and
we've
actually
set
out
five
goals
to
fulfill
as
a
sentinel
landscape
ourselves.
So
goal
number
one
in
no
particular
order
is
to
reduce
vulnerabilities
to
climate
change
by
promoting
nature-based
solutions
to
restore
or
enhance
the
resilience
of
the
landscape.
N
So
private
landowners
and
the
opportunity
to
continue
to
utilize
the
land
in
a
compatible
way
are
part
and
parcel
of
that,
and
then
the
fifth
goal,
which
really
sums
out
the
other.
What
does
this
mean
for
us
answer
is
to
establish
and
promote
the
Lowcountry
Sentinel
landscape
to
ensure
long-term
military
Readiness.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
is
a
partnership.
That's
based
on
shared
resources
and
collaboration
that
will
achieve
shared
success
of
these
goals.
We
are
so
thankful.
N
Beaufort
County
submitted
a
letter
of
support
for
our
application
a
little
over
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
We're
thankful
to
have
made
it
to
the
other
side
of
the
designation
process.
With
a
positive
result,
we
will
be
hiring
a
sentinel
landscape
coordinator
to
help
manage
all
of
these
moving
parts
and
help
us
achieve
success
again
with
greater
efficiency,
and
we
look
forward
to
sharing
more
updates
with
you
all
so
that
you
can
remember
that
this
meeting,
when
this
idea
was
announced-
and
you
kind
of
still
wondered
what
does
it
mean
and
what
is
what?
N
J
O
C
J
But
I
look
forward
to
getting
back
your
good
catch.
N
N
You
very
much
thank
you.
It
really
is
an
incredible
partnership
between
Beaufort
County
and
the
military
and
between
land
conservation
and
I.
Think
you
know
prior
to
really
understanding
this
landscape
on
both
Civic
and
natural,
in
Beaver.
County
folks
might
have
asked.
What's
the
connection
between
the
two
I
know,
chairwoman
Howard
has
great
experience
with
this
in
her
Civic
and
professional
life,
but
there's
there's
such
a
a
great
Niche
between
the
ability
to
support
military
Readiness
and
the
ability
to
protect
natural
resources,
be
it
land
or
imperiled
species.
N
Added
to
that
we
are
essentially
the
landscape
that
is
most
on
the
cusp
of
sea
level
rise
and
resilience
challenges.
We
are
also
best
poised
to
find
those
Solutions,
and
while
we
are
the
11th
landscape,
I
can
assure
you
that
other
Sentinel
Landscapes
are
looking
to
Low
Country
South
Carolina,
to
try
to
figure
out
these
answers
and
we
will
do
it.
We
will
rise
to
that
challenge
for
sure
Georgia
and
Eastern.
North
Carolina
are
also
designated
as
Sentinel
landscapes
in
our
region.
B
P
I
believe
it
was
Mary
when
we
toured
MCAS
kind
of
dropped,
a
little
nugget
that
about
encroachment
yes,
and
that
was
coming.
She
sort
of
opened
the
door
for
you
today.
N
Great
well,
like
I,
said
Thank
you
to
those
setting
the
agenda,
so
it
makes
it
great
to
really
display
the
Synergy
between
all
of
the
different
organizations
and
the
Partnerships
that
we're
so
lucky
to
have
here.
B
N
B
All
right
moving
along
those
were
our
three
presentations
and
they
all
did
fit
well
together.
Now
we're
down
to
business
on
recommend
approval
of
number
10,
an
ordinance
for
a
text
Amendment
to
the
CDC

state
law
change
in
business
licenses,
we
then
changed
our
our
business
license
law,
which
required
anyone
that
was
going
to
do
a
short-term
rental
to
get
a
business
license.
The
fusky
there's
no
Hotel
over
there.
So
most
people
are
short-term
rentals
that
come
over,
whether
it's
a
week-long
daily.
M
So
that
then
brought
the
need,
because
the
Zoning
for
many
areas
over
there
did
not
allow
for
short-term
rentals
I
mean
who,
who
would
have
thought
10
years
ago,
that
Airbnb
was
even
a
thing:
who'd
go
stay
in
someone's
house
and,
and
so
again
things
have
changed
and,
and
life
has
changed
for
this.
So
a
year
ago,
whenever
we
passed
that
that
was
then
the
need
for
defusky,
then
to
figure
out
short-term
rentals
and
what
they
wanted
to
do
with
with
their
zoning.
M
And
that's
where
this
all
started
with
the
fusky
island
Council
a
year
ago,
and
that's
where
this
comes
from
is
is
the
the
people
of
dafusky.
We
rely
heavily
on
the
daufusky
island
Council
to
advise
us
on
what
the
folks
on
on
defusky
want.
So
I
want
to
set
that
up
for
a
lot
of
people.
Thinking:
okay,
what's
going
on
what's
Happening,
and
why
are
we
talking
about
this?
M
B
B
Q
Yeah,
so
it's
a
relatively
new
provision
that
we're
now
using
to
regulate
short-term
rentals
and
thank
you
for
I.
Remember
some
of
the
details,
but
I
couldn't
remember
everything.
So,
but
yes,
this
was
these
amendments
were
initiated
by
the
dafusky
island
Council,
which
expressed
an
interest
in
developing
their
own
short-term
rental
requirements
and
staff.
We
went
out
to
fusky
Island
about
a
year
ago.
I
think
was
March
of
2022
and
you
know,
you
know,
met
with
them
and
and.
Q
Did
the
the
run
of
the
work
over
the
year
we
had
occasional
remote
meetings
with
them
and
then
presented
to
us
at
the
end
of
last
year,
a
series
of
amendments
to
the
dofusky
island.
That's
appendix
B
of
our
community
development
code
that
would
establish
basically
short-term
rental
as
a
use
in
the
table
and
then
requirements
that
short-term
rentals
should
follow
and
I
wanted
to
mention.
Dafusky
Island
council
is
a.
Q
It
is
a
group
that
is,
members
are
elected
by
residents
and
property
owners
of
dafusky
Island
and
they
service
at
liaison
between
the
people
of
the
island
and,
as
they
say,
on
their
website,
local
state
and
federal
government.
So
you
know
we
look
to
them
kind
of
as
they
they're
a
good
Bellwether
of
what
is
going
on
in
the
island.
Q
So
we
felt
they
were
very
good
group
to
work
with
in
coming
up
with
the
recommendations,
I
will
say
that
once
we
received
a
recommendation
from
their
Council,
we
worked
back
and
forth
to
you
know,
make
some
revisions
so
that
fit
into
the
instance
of
the
codes
you
know
or
to
be
more
consistent
with.
What's
in
the
code
currently
and
what
you're
seeing
before
we're
adopting
as
a
staff
recommend,
you
know:
we've
worked
with
the
committee,
but
this
is
ultimately
a
staff
initiated
Amendment
to
the
code
real
briefly.
Q
What
this
does
is
establishes
short-term
rental
as
a
use
in
their
in
appendix
B
for
dafusky
Island.
They
have
eight
districts
on
the
island,
they're
kind
of
analogous
to
County
districts,
but
they're.
They
have
a
d
on
the
front
set
of
a
t
or
a
c,
and
so
four
of
those
districts,
D2
rural
D2,
rural
conventionally
platted
D2,
rural
Gala,
Heritage
and
D3
General
neighborhood,
short-term
rentals
are
a
special
use
and
then
three
of
the
districts
D4
mixed
use,
D5,
Village,
Center
and
D5
General
commercial.
Q
It
would
be
a
permitted
use
and
in
one
of
the
districts
D1
it's
not
permitted,
that's
similar
to
rt1,
and
it's
really
only
meant
for
marsh
Islands
or
preserve
lands
so
and
I
thought
I
would.
Since
this
was
discussed
during
public
comments,
just
a
refresher.
You
know
when
we
say
special
use.
What
that
means
is
that
they're?
Q
Ultimately,
it's
something
that
is
listed
in
the
use
table
and
what
it
states
is
that
it
may.
It
is
something
that
may
or
may
not
be
appropriate
in
all
locations
within
the
district,
and
so
it
requires
the
applicant
to
meet
a
set
of
criteria
and
then
go
before
the
zoning
board
of
appeals,
and
then
they
render
the
ultimately
the
decision
to
Grant
a
special
use
permit.
So
it
has
a
public
process
involved
in
it.
Q
The
code
will
have
specific
conditions
that
are
outlined
in
the
codes,
and
then
staff
works
with
the
applicant
to
go
through
those,
you
know,
make
sure
they're
Meeting
those
conditions,
and
so
it's
approved
to
the
staff
level.
So
that
does
not
have
the
public
component
that
the
special
use
has
so
they're,
proposing
four
districts,
where
it's
a
special
use.
Three,
that
it's
a
permitted
of
course,
even
as
a
permitted
use,
it
still
needs
to
meet
so
the
requirements
of
the
code.
Q
You
know
because
in
most
districts
we
require
them
as
a
special
use,
but
there
are
two
districts:
C
C4
and
C5,
where
they're
permitted
to
use.
So
we
kind
of
see
the
the
two
approaches
as
being
very
parallel
and
that's
why,
as
staff,
we
felt
you
know
comfortable.
Bringing
this
forward
is
a
recommendation.
Q
We
have
over
the
last
several
years,
been
administering
short-term,
rentals
and
I've
been
kind
of
watching
it
work.
You
know
you
know
firsthand
and,
for
the
most
part,
special
use
processes
long
as
they're
meeting
the
requirements
as
long
as
there's
no
issues
with
the
private
covenants.
You
know,
if
they're
in
a
subdivision,
it
already
has
covenants
and
restrictions
that
don't
allow
commercial
uses.
Q
You
know.
For
the
most
part,
the
board
has
been
granting
special
use
permits.
There
have
been
a
few
cases
where
people
have
brought
short-term
rentals
and
there
have
been.
It
may
have
been
a
short-term
rental
that
has
been
operated
already
and
they
were
coming
forward
for
a
permit
to
be
compliant
with
the
code,
and
so
we've
had
a
few
cases
where
a
lot
of
neighbors
came
and
said.
Q
Well,
you
know
you're
having
parties
here
every
weekend
you
know,
and
so
there
have
been
instances
where
this
has
worked
to
you
know
and
the
zboa
has
denied
permits
based
on
I
guess,
past
activity
that
they
were.
You
know
from
the
input
that
they
got
from
people
who
came
to
the
cboa
meeting.
So
I
would
say
that
that's
the
advantage
of
a
special
use
process
is
it
gives
it
has
that
public
component.
It
allows
the
zboa
ultimately
to
render
that
decision.
Q
So
this
went
to
our
Planning
Commission.
At
that
time
they
recommended
they
they
recommended
approval
or
that
Council
approved
the
application.
With
one
exception,
there
is
a
provision
in
the
dafusky
island,
short-term
rental
requirements
that
requires
an
insurance
certificate,
verifying
public
liability
insurance
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
plan,
the
Planning
Commission
felt
that
that
was
overreach
and
they
recommended
not
to
include
that
provision.
So
that's
their
recommendation
to
council
I.
B
Q
B
J
I
seem
to
have
a
couple
here
tonight
and
I.
Don't
know
why
but
Robert
thank
you.
I
get
the
special
use,
the
conditional
use
and
the
no
use
I
get
all
that
verbiage.
I
heard
from
some
people
tonight
that
the
process
that
we
provide
to
them
is
a
little
bit
cumbersome
and
challenging.
J
Q
Q
Q
Have
an
interest,
obviously,
there's
no
boats
leaving
after
our
meetings
are
over
so
sure.
M
I
was
this
is
my
my
district,
so,
as
you
heard,
people
talk
when
they
came
in
here
and
again,
I've
had
lots
of
conversations
about.
This
is
I,
think
everybody
is
for
the
short-term
rental
and
and
and
approving
the
changes
in
the
code.
M
I
think
what
we
heard
today
was
there
are
people
that
are
questioning
whether
it's
it's
the
special
use,
which
then
that
requires
anybody
and
everybody
to
come
back
and
ask
for
a
a
to
get
a
permit
to
get
their
business
license
to
be
able
to
get
the
zoning
that
they
need
to
have
short-term
rental,
and
some
people
here
today
were
asking
for
conditional
use.
So
if
you
can
just
give
us
more
because
again,
that's
that's
probably
the
biggest
thing
we're
talking
about
today
is
everyone
is
for
the
rental
program.
It's.
M
Weather
we
as
a
county,
say:
okay,
no,
it's
it's!
It's
special
use
with
special
use.
You
have
to
go
through
a
lot
more
hurdles
to
get
that
permit
or
if
it
was
determined
to
be
conditional,
use
how
much
easier
it
is
it
to
to
get
a
permit
and
there's
pros
and
cons
for
both.
But
if
you
can
just
speak
on
that
real
quick,
that
would
help
to
educate
everyone
up
here,
what
we're
actually
voting
on
and
what
what
the
differences
are.
Yeah.
Q
I
think
the
big
difference
is
that
special
use
has
to
go
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
and
and
they
they
render
the
decision.
So
it
goes
to
a
public
meeting.
If
it
were
a
conditional
use
this
the
application,
the
permit
application,
would
be
decided
by
staff.
You
know
going
down
the
list
making
sure
they're
meeting
a
set
of
conditions,
so
that's
I
think
the
biggest
difference
is
you
know
whether
you
know
go
into
a
public
meeting
and
requiring.
R
S
So
essentially,
what
happens
is
many
many
jurisdictions
as
they're
dealing
with
short-term
rentals,
basically
specify
how
many
short-term
rentals
you
have
only
give
them
street
or
in
a
given
neighborhood
or
whatever.
Once
you
meet
that
it's
off
the
table
for
any
other
person,
I,
don't
know
how
those
will
stand.
S
The
challenges
in
court
if
they
ever
have
had
that
because
I
don't
know
how
you
can
say
it's:
okay
for
a
neighborhood
or
a
street
to
have
four
short-term
rentals,
but
the
person
that
wants
to
put
a
fifth
one
on
there
there's
some
sort
of
Public,
Safety
or
general
welfare
standard.
That's
violated
that
particular
case.
So
the
beauty
of
a
special
exception
process
or
spatial
use
process
is
it.
S
A
public
hearing
is
held
in
every
case
and
the
community
has
a
say
so
of
whether
or
not
the
short-term
rentals
began
to
change
the
character
of
their
street
or
their
neighborhood
or
whether
or
not
there's
too
much
noise
associated
with
it
or
there's
a
bad
situation
going
on
in
the
neighborhood,
and
things
like
that,
if
you
go
with
conditional
use
and
all
somebody's
got
to
do
is
meet
the
conditions
and
you
can
turn
an
entire
Street
into
a
short-term
rental.
S
R
Yes,
sir,
so
it
would
seem
to
me
that
we
could
serve
both
groups,
the
county
at
large,
because
it's
a
special
use
and
defusky
Island,
provided
that
we
would
be
able
to
allow
the
special
use
hearing
public
hearing
remote
because
of
the
nature
of
defusky
Island
now
I
would
ask
then
for
County
attorney
to
weigh
in
is.
Is
there
a
way
we
could
do
that
that
would
be
applicable
to
dafusky
Island
without
opening
it
up
county-wide
to
say?
S
M
Can
be
done
since
we
have
Eric
up
there,
so
Eric
I
know
that
and
again
you've
done
a
great
job
of
going
over
and
listening
to
the
people
on
the
fusky
and
talking
to
them,
and
we
kind
of
charge
the
defusky
island
council
with
coming
back
with
their
recommendation
and
whether
that
was
going
to
be
conditional,
use
or
special
use.
Though
Sally
Ann
Robinson
asked
about
delaying
this
because
again
they
the
island
itself,
the
community,
have
they
go
back
forth
and
they're
they're
negotiating
in
this
adding
themselves
what
they
do.
S
B
B
B
The
staff
with
the
I've.
S
Been
over
there
three
or
four
times
just
in
myself
to
discuss
this
issue,
Rob
and
Mark
have
been
more
involved
in
it
with
the
codes
Council
on
this
issue
and
other
issues,
I
will
point
out
to
the
council.
Just
so.
You
all
are
aware.
The
defusky
island
Council
has
new
legislative
standing,
new
legislative
Authority.
S
That
was
a
council
that
was
created
by
the
planning
department
to
be
a
communication
arm
between
the
fusky
island
folks
and
the
County
Planning
Department,
so
County
Council
doesn't
have
a
role
in
that
they
have
new
Authority
Beyond,
just
communicating
with
the
planning
staff.
There
are
bylaws.
The
vote
that
took
place
that
you
heard
about
earlier
in
public
comment.
S
That's
already
been
made
unless
you
somebody
that
really
would
pray
alongside
during
that
meeting
votes
to
reconsider
that
motion.
So
I
don't
know
that
what
changed
about
that
is
actually
valid.
I,
don't
think
it's
here,
I,
don't
think
it's
really
relevant
to
the
matter
at
him.
I
think
that
people
need
the
right
to
be
heard
when
it
comes
to
zoning
I'm.
A
big
proponent
of
that
and
I
would
recommend
that
you
all
consider
doing
it
by
special
exception
whenever
you
want
to
do
it,
but
there
is
no
hurry
to
do
it
this
evening.
M
All
right,
the
let
me
just
say
that
the
fusky
Allen
Council
meets
again
when
when's
the
next
meeting
for
the
defense
County
Council
next
Tuesday.
So
if
we
we
move
this
forward,
the
the
current
defusk
Allen
Council
can
meet
and
come
back
with
another
recommendation
because
from
here
we'll.
B
M
And
that's
after
three
readings
and
to
public
hearing
and
a
public
hearing
at
that
time.
So
you
know
obviously
that
just
like
us,
we
had
new
members
come
in
the
first
County
Council
has
new
members
coming
in,
and
and
and
so
it's
something
that
that
I'd
like
to
again
Eric
gave
the
explanation,
but
they've
been
our
our
Bellwether,
our
sounding
board
for
many
years
as
long
as
I've
been
here,
we
have
listened
to
and
taken
recommendation
of
the
of
the
defusky
island
Council.
M
M
I
thought
about
delaying
it
as
Miss,
Ellie
and
Robinson
had
talked
about,
but
I
think
that
if
we
move
it
forward
still
that
gives
time
for
negotiations
to
happen
and
and
hopefully
that
there
is
some
resolutions
that
come
back
from
the
the
fusky
island
Council
of
what
they
would
like
to
do
again
since
I
represent
the
area.
Everyone
looks
to
me
and
says:
Mark.
What
do
you
want
to
do?
What's
going
on.
M
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
go
ahead
and
and
pass
today's
or
or
move
today's
recommendation
to
Council
in
that
time
frame.
However,
the
pascalin
council
will
meet
and
would
ask
them
to
come
back
then
and
get
the
get
the
findings
that
we
can
make
public
too.
A
A
And
I
agree
we
would
Mark
said:
there's
a
lot
of
I
mean
there's
enough
time
in
between
to
really
hear
the
the
public
and
the
head
of
people
and
the
council
I
do
agree
with
Mr
Greenway
and
that
the
special
Counsel
on
the
fussy.
A
You
know
the
question
I
have
right
now,
in
my
mind,
is
who
do
they
answer
to
and
they
were
created,
I
think
Rob
said
by
the
Planning
Commission.
So
do
they
report
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
to
monitor
them,
to
make
sure
that
elections
are
fair,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
et
cetera?
Those
are
some
of
the
questions
I
may
have
going
forward
as
well,
because
we
don't
want
to
create
a
monster
out
there
that
all
of
a
sudden.
M
B
It's
almost
4
20
number
11
on
the
agenda
is
recommend
approval
of
an
ordinance
for
a
tax
amendment
to
the
Community
Development
code,
division,
4.2.20,
General
standards
and
limitations
to
clarify
connectivity
standards
for
primary
structures
regarding
building
connections,
division,
division,
4.230
to
modify
allowable
density,
to
provide
opportunity
for
additional
accessory
dwelling
unit
and
to
provide
flexibility
for
area
of
units;
division,
4.1.360,
short-term
rentals
to
modify
General
standards
to
allow
only
a
principal
dwelling
unit
or
accessory
dwelling
unit
as
a
short-term
rental
on
a
single
parcel,
and
will
you
be
presenting
both
of
you?
B
C
Q
Basically,
this
is
a
kind
of
a
bundle
of
three
different
amendments
to
the
codes
that
all
address
a
type
of
development
specific
to
areas
of
the
county,
where
we
have
large
slot
subdivisions
in
conservation
subdivisions.
The
first
amendment
allows
for
a
single-family
house.
If
you
consider,
like
you
know,
a
large
single
family
house
could
be
a
5
000
square
foot
single
footprint
on
a
property
that
has
a
great
impact
on.
You
know
you
have
to
take
down
a
lot
of
trees.
Q
You
know
capitalize
on
views
things
like
that.
The
second
and
this
goes
to
a
an
action
the
County
Council
took
several
years
ago,
planning
department
brought
forward
an
amendment
back
in
2019,
which
basically
this
was
a
response
to
a
concern
about
accessory
or
short-term
rentals,
where
originally
a
county-wide.
Every
property
was
permitted,
a
guest
house
and
an
accessory
dwelling
unit.
Q
Q
What
we
found
is
that
had
some
unintended
consequences
on
on
some
of
the
these
larger
lot
communities,
where
they're
used
to
having
several
guest
houses,
as
part
of
you,
know,
a
single-family
residents,
and
so
what
this
proposal
does
is
to
allow
an
additional
accessory
dwelling
unit
based
on
a
thresholds,
property
size.
You
know
for
a
larger
lot
and
to
address
the
short-term
rental
issue.
The
third
amendment
is
limiting
basically
limiting
one
short-term
rental
per
property,
so
somebody
couldn't
create
a
single-family
house,
two
accessory
dwelling
units
and
rent
them
all
out.
Q
O
Afternoon
so
this
is
kind
of
familiar
I
think
a
little
bit
to
everybody,
not
to
kind
of
go
in,
but
this
first
kind
of
came
at
us
that
was
kind
of
just
focusing
on
some
areas
of
the
county.
So
what
we
decided
to
do
was
look
at
this
issue
and
try
to
make
it
so
we
could
apply
County
Wide.
So
these
are
the
edits
that
staff
came
up
with
and
I
want
to
make
it
to
everybody.
These
are
staff
initiated.
O
This
was
not
an
application
that
we
received
from
anybody,
and
this
does
not
require
any
rezonings
of
any
property.
So
it's
all
staff
initiated
text,
amendments
and
kind
of
like
what
Rob
said
this
went
through
the
Planning
Commission.
They
recommended
approval.
O
So
with
that
I
mean
for
the
purposes
of
time,
you
can
see
here's
an
example
of
a
picture
of
kind
of
what
a
typical
open
roof
line
connected
from
structured
or
structure
could
look
like,
and
then
here
you
can
see
kind
of
how
a
house
would
utilize
that
regarding
a
main
structure-
and
you
can
kind
of
see
some
trees
and
how
this
architect
used
this
lot
to
maximize
the
views
and
was
able
to
save
some
trees
and
kind
of
did
some
of
those
connections
off
of
two
wings
and
that's
typically
how
it
could
be
used
and
then
in
in
this
instance.
O
Sometimes
you
can
how
people
get
around
is
they
would
enclose
them
and
and
when
you're
permitting
things
a
lot
of
people
can
do
some
weird
things.
So
what
this
will
do
is
this
will
finally
Define
what
is
appropriate?
How
far
and
how
much
you
can
do
to
give
staff
Direction
forward
and
in
regards
to
these
unenclosed
or
enclosed
kind
of
roof
line
connected
when
structures
come
in.
Okay,.
B
O
A
Right,
you
know
what
are
the
things
you
use
here
is:
a
measuring.
Stick
is
graded
in
three
acres,
you
know
I
when
I
look
at
Saint
Helena,
where
we
have
units
at
three
acres,
greater
than
three
acres
will
be
three
and
a
half
that
you
can
actually
start
dividing
up
to
get
more
units
on
that
acreage
and
stuff.
A
So
something
like
you
know
greater
than
five.
Six
seven
acres
may
be
something
you
might
want
to
look
at
as
a
comparison.
When
you
start
moving
this
forward
and
stuff,
that's
my
only
concern
right
now.
Yeah
yeah.
C
A
I
think
is
really
what
you're
asking
for
is
better
utilizing
that
land
to
get
more
Landscaping
on
the
property
versus
the
actual
building,
but
also
allowing
a
resident
to
have
maybe
one
or
two
accessories
that
they
could
actually
rent
out
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
I
can
see,
there's
possibilities
and
stuff,
but
I
just
want
to
know
how
that
will
impact
an
area
relaxing
Helena,
where
you
have
now
needing
three
acres
for
one
unit,
and
so
if
a
person
got
full
week
is
well.
Let
me.
O
C
C
O
C
A
Yeah,
that's
that's!
That's
the
comparison
I
want
to
use
so,
of
course,
is
what
is
allowed
now.
I
want
to
see
Helen
reverse.
If
this
was
put
in
place.
What
would
it
look
like
as
far
as
units
per
acre.
B
R
How
did
this
apply
to
accessory
unit
that
is
detached
from
the
main
from
the
main
building
unit.
O
So
it
would
still
follow
an
accessory
structure
thing
into
the
the
under
Section
8
under
4220e
kind
of
speaks
to.
If
it
doesn't
comply,
then
it's
just
permitted
as
a
typical
accessory
structure
and
would
follow
those
requirements
would
have
certain
sizes
orientation
and
really
hear
what
we're
talking
about.
Mostly
is
more
kind
of
heated
habitable
space
or
like
an
accessory
dwelling
unit,
if
somebody's
just
putting
a
shed
in
their
background
that
that's
just
accessory
structure
that
gets
permitted
nothing's
changing
here.
B
B
Motion
was
made
by
Council
chairman
passament.
Without
objection,
this
will
go
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Okay,
then,
the
last
thing
on
our
agenda
is
a
resolution
authorizing
the
County
Administrator
to
execute
a
lease
agreement
with
the
landmark
Baptist
Church
encumbering
property
owned
by
Beaufort
County
known
as
a
portion
of
the
Chachi
track,
and
the
snag
is
we'll
speak
to
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
You
thank
you,
madam
chair
committee,
Stephanie
nadjid
past
the
parks
manager
today
I'm
bringing
forward
a
resolution
to
authorize
County
Administrator,
execute
Elise
with
Landmark
Baptist
Church.
They
have
been
currently
leasing
a
2400
square
foot,
building
on
approximately
an
acre
of
land
that
we
call
the
chichesi
tract
since
2013.
K
K
So
they
will
receive
the
50
non-profit
discounted
rate,
as
per
that
lease
policy,
and
so
it'll
be
eighteen
hundred
dollars
a
month
which
will
be
deposited
into
the
special
Revenue
fund
for
the
passive
Parks,
so
that
I
can
continue
doing
maintenance
on
passive
Park
Properties
and
if
approved,
then
it
would
go
to
May,
22nd,
County
Council
for
approval
and
public
hearing.
Any
questions.
No
no
can.
