Thank
you
all
for
listening
to
the
citizen
comments,
I'm
Dr,
Kelly
LeBlanc,
the
co-chair
of
the
Jonesville
preservation
society
and
the
author
of
the
survey
on
short-term
rentals
in
residential
neighborhoods.
The
survey
ran
for
the
last
two
weeks
and
received
850
responses
from
Hilton
Head
Island,
full-time
residents,
questions
two
and
three
How
concerned.
Are
you
about
an
increase
in
short-term
rentals
and
time
shares?
Ninety
percent?
Ninety
percent
said
that
they
were
very
too
extremely
concerned
about
both
question.
Six
is
question.
Four.
Does
Hilton
Head
need
more
visitor
beds?
D
D
Question
six:
are
you
in
favor
of
updating
short,
the
short-term
rental
ordinance
to
require
permit
cost
based
on
the
number
of
beds?
Advertised
92
percent
said
yes,
question:
seven,
which
impacts
of
short-term
rentals?
Are
you
most
concerned
about?
The
top
concerns
were
traffic
quality
of
life,
Beach
congestion,
the
environment,
trash
noise,
unruly
behavior
and
visitor
parking
question.
Eight.
The
increase
in
short-term
rentals
is
one
reason
why
long-term
rentals
are
beyond
the
reach
of
our
Workforce.
D
Question
11
regarding
15
Wimbledon,
Folly
Field
across
from
Islanders
beach
in
2015,
the
8.4
acre
property
was
rezoned
as
Resort
density,
76
percent
said,
keep
Resort
development
out
of
residential
neighborhoods,
63
percent
said
the
town
should
purchase
the
8.4
acres
and
rezone
it
as
a
park
in
2015
Bradley
Circle
was
rezoned
as
Resort
density.
They
now
have
six
mini
hotels,
which
each
sleep
24,
but
have
only
two
parking
spaces.
D
Each
on
Tuesday
of
this
week,
the
Town
Council
took
an
agenda
item
off
the
roster,
which
would
have
stopped
the
developer
from
adding
four
more
mini
hotels
to
Bradley
Circle.
Last
week,
the
Charleston
Post
and
Courier
quoted
David
Ames.
As
saying
quote
right
now,
Town
officials
are
turning
their
attention
to
fixing
loopholes
or
language
in
the
Land
Management
code
that
don't
meet
the
community's
objectives.
Our
question
is:
are
you
thank
you.
A
E
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
kieron
storm
at
some
point
along
the
way
this
town
began
ignoring
family,
the
family,
part
of
our
area
zone,
single
family,
residential
and
the
word
residential
came
to
mean
something
entirely
different
than
how
it
is
defined
in
the
Cambridge
Dictionary
Our
Town
Council
has
chosen
to
effectively
ignore
the
short-term
rental
problem
and
left
us
their
residents
defend
for
ourselves.
Many
other
communities
have
recognized
this
issue
and
have
acted
to
protect
their
residents
by
placing
caps
and
controls
on
short-term
rentals.
E
For
example,
Sullivan's
Island
prohibited
new
vacation
rentals
over
20
years
ago,
James
Island.
In
order
to
have
a
legal
bed
and
breakfast
for
a
short-term
rental.
The
home
owned
the
home
must
be
a
full-time
owner,
occupied
kiawa,
put
a
20
cap
on
R1
and
R2
zoning
districts.
The
City
of
Charleston,
including
Daniel,
Island,
whole
house,
short-term
rentals,
are
prohibited
in
the
City
of
Charleston.
Under
a
current
ordinance,
homeowners
are
required
to
inhabit
of
the
home
while
hosting
short-term
guests,
and
no
more
than
four
adults.
May
occupy
a
short-term
rental
at
once.
E
The
town
of
Mount
Pleasant
caps,
short-term
rentals
at
400.,
Folly
Beach
on
February
7th
of
this
year.
A
special
election
was
held,
resulting
in
a
cap
of
800
licenses
for
investor-owned,
short-term
rentals,
Myrtle
Beach
on
Hilton
Head.
You
often
hear
people
say
we
don't
want
to
turn
into
a
Myrtle
Beach.
Well,
perhaps
we
should
take
a
leaf
out
of
their
book
in
Myrtle
Beach.
Most
traditional
residential
neighborhoods
are
not
zoned
for
single
for
short-term
rentals.
You
will
notice
that
all
of
these
are
South
Carolina
coastal
communities.
So
why
isn't
Hilton
Head
protecting
its
residents?
E
It's
either
because
you
can't
or
you
won't.
The
above
communities
have
demonstrated
that
count
is
not
a
valid
excuse.
We
were
promised
that
phase
two
of
the
short-term
rental
ordinance
will
be
available
the
last
quarter
of
last
year.
Now
we
hear
that
it
will
be
the
end
of
this
year.
In
the
meantime,
the
island
is
losing
valuable
residents
and
Workforce
housing
that
is
being
converted
into
sdrs.
E
A
F
Are
you
all
right,
I'm,
here
again
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
Bradley
Circle?
As
you
guys
are
well
aware
of
not
two
weeks
ago
there
was
an
urgent
matter
for
a
developer
in
our
area
that
has
short-term
rentals
to
have
a
plot
stamped.
It
was
eminent,
so
he
could
sell
his
lot
back
to
himself.
So
he
could
subdivide
that
lot
to
get
an
extra
lot
and
more
density.
F
We
went
above
and
beyond
as
a
town
to
make
sure
that
that
happened,
and
now
I
said
before
you
with
the
same
urgency,
to
push
through
some
amendments
in
the
LML.
They
won't
just
serve
one
developer.
It
will
serve
the
entirety
of
Hilton
Head
Island.
Our
tiny
community
of
Bradley
Circle
has
grown
by
45
000
square
feet,
with
only
the
addition
of
five
homes,
all
with
four
stories
above
garage
additional
125
people
plus
a
week,
and
it's
not
going
to
stop
10
cars
per
house.
F
Two
more
are
being
built
and
five
more
coming
after
that
which
are
expected
to
be
similar
in
size.
So
we
plead
with
you.
We
will
have
another
50
000
square
feet
on
an
acre
of
land.
Think
of
where
you
live,
I
gotta
assume
you
live
in
a
gated
community
and
you
have
bigger
Lots.
Imagine
if
you
had
50
000
square
feet
next
to
your
home
so
and
we
are
going
to
have
that
in
just
10
homes.
We
have
a
very,
very
small
area.
I
stood
before
you
in
2016
asking
for
the
same
thing.
F
With
all
the
extra
people
in
the
neighborhood
and
our
tiny
little
community
that
wear
and
tear
on
our
roads
shows
the
drainage
doesn't
work,
pathways
are
getting
destroyed,
our
wetlands
are
getting
devastated.
There
is
oil
leaks
from
the
constructions,
chlorine
water
leaks
into
our
Marsh
on
a
daily
basis.
People
walk
through
seagrass
and
dunes
to
make
it
to
the
beach
parking
on
the
wetlands
area,
because
there's
not
enough
space
I,
understand
development
and
expect
that
this
is
a
part
of
where
I
live.
But
this
is
ludicrous
over
development.
That's
ruining
hhi
as
a
whole.
F
We
can
build,
but
we
need
to
be
smarter
or
the
aftermath
is
irreversible.
We
need
to
amend
the
LMO.
We
need
to
work
on
the
floor
area
ratio
to
ensure
that
smaller
homes
get
built
on
these
Lots
on
these
teeny
tiny
lots
of
0.12.
We
need
vegetation,
open
space
safety
in
our
neighborhoods.
Please
vote
in
favor
of
parking
spaces
to
be
amended
to
19
by
eight
feet.
F
H
Good
morning,
good
morning,
I'm
losing
my
neighborhood
I
currently
live
in.
What
was
my
parents
home
for
the
last
41
years
in
South,
Forest
Beach?
It's
a
single
family,
residential
Zone
I've
seen
an
awful
lot
of
changes
over
the
last
41
years.
Sure
some
of
the
homes
in
my
neighborhood
are
second
homes,
and
a
couple
might
have
even
been
rentals
for
most
of
the
last
40
years,
but
it's
completely
out
of
hand.
Now
there
are
very
few
of
us
who
live
there
permanently
anymore,
as
properties
have
sold.
H
H
These
houses
certainly
don't
pretend
to
be
residences
either.
They're
commercial
Enterprises
earning
twenty
thousand
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
month.
Some
of
them
are
not
even
owned
by
individuals
and
are
owned
by
investment
corporations.
Instead,
why
does
the
town
allow
these
businesses
to
operate
in
a
single
family,
residential
neighborhood?
Don't
those
words
mean
something?
Please?
H
Even
the
two-bedroom
house,
two
doors
down
that
has
never
in
my
memory
house
more
than
one
couple
and
one
small
child
now
boasted.
It
suddenly
has
four
bedrooms
and
sleeps
14..
The
house
isn't
any
bigger
than
it
ever
was
they've
just
put
bunk
beds
in
the
hallway
in
the
dining
room
and
now
they're
bedrooms,
there's
no
room
for
all
these
people
to
be
inside
the
house
unless
they're
all
in
bed.
So
they
stay
outside
most
of
the
time.
H
14
people
don't
have
to
be
Rowdy
to
be
loud,
but
when
they
are
Rowdy
they're
very
loud
I
like
parties
I
like
music
and
fun
I,
even
occasionally
like
to
stay
up
late,
but
not
every
single
day.
There
is
a
Non-Stop
party
going
on
in
my
neighborhood
from
now
till
Thanksgiving,
by
the
time
Runners
have
had
enough
partying
and
are
ready
to
settle
down
a
bit.
H
H
What
I
really
want
is
to
live
quietly
in
the
beautiful
natural
surroundings
of
forest
Beach
that
I've
known
for
so
many
years
with
other
single-family
actual
neighbors,
and
not
the
steady
stream
of
partying
tourists
and
absentee
corporate
owners.
So
I
ask
you
today:
please:
we've
helped
save
my
neighborhood.
I
Before
you
begin
the
time,
I
just
want
to
explain,
you
know
that
I
live
in
Hilton,
Head
Plantation,
so
I'm
here
today,
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
Jonesville
resident
who
couldn't
be
here,
this
is
a
Resort
destination,
and
that
is
not
changing
anytime
soon.
Our
town
thrives
because
of
Tourism,
but
Reckless
tourism
is
not
good
for
anyone.
I
thank
the
town
and
the
Town
Council
for
passing
the
recently
approved
short-term
term
ordinance.
It
is
a
good
first
step,
but
it's
just
that
a
first
step.
I
This
island
needs
to
be
a
responsible
Resort
destination,
with
designated
areas
for
short-term
rentals
and
Resorts
restrictions
and
ordinances,
to
ensure
vacationers
respect
the
island
and
those
around
them
and
requirements
surrounding
what
are
acceptable
dwellings
to
qualify
as
short-term
rentals.
My
heart
goes
out
to
our
South
End
neighbors,
who
are
talking
now
concerned
that
that
area
is
too
crowded
and
while
that's
very
true,
it
does
not
mean
we
start
forcing
vacationers
into
residential
neighborhoods.
The
town
needs
to
begin
managing
the
number
of
visitors
they
can
handle.
I
When
we
purchased
our
home,
we
made
the
decision
to
buy
in
a
residentially
zoned
neighborhood,
not
to
allow
developers
from
out
of
town
to
swoop
in
and
take
advantage
of
loose
laws
and
buy
up
properties
and
turn
them
into
Cash.
Cows.
Jonesville
is
not
inundated
with
strs
at
this
point,
but
with
what
we've
seen
allowed
and
pass-through
review
in
our
neighborhood.
Currently,
it's
just
a
matter
of
time.
I
If
something
is
not
done
to
restrict
strs
verbo
Airbnb
newly
formed
Resort
Str
Resort
collaborations
have
changed
the
game
and
it's
time
for
the
town
to
catch
back
up.
This
town
has
a
responsibility
to
its
residents.
The
people
you
represent,
as
well
as
the
vacationers,
to
provide
a
balanced
and
mutually
beneficial
existence
that
keeps
visitors
coming
back
and
invested
in
our
town
and
residents,
welcoming
them
back.
Plopping,
short-term
renters
in
the
middle
of
residential
neighborhoods
does
not
promote
that
balance.
I
Residential
neighborhoods
are
not
equipped
to
handle
turnover
traffic
nor
to
accommodate
the
additional
traffic
inevitable
with
having
multiple
families
share
vacation
rentals
with
multiple
cars.
The
Jonesville
Community
has
already
been
put
at
risk
with
the
development
of
Bailey's
Cove,
doubling
our
daily
traffic
and
infrastructure
usage.
If
the
homes
within
it
become
short-term
rentals,
we
would
never
be
able
to
leave
our
homes
and
without
any
current
Max
density
analysis.
I
Who
knows
what
our
little
Peninsula
can
even
endure
residential
neighborhoods
also
don't
provide
amenities
for
vacationers
to
enjoy
within
them
or
in
most
cases
even
nearby
I
was
on
the
committee
to
stop
short-term
rentals
in
Hilton
Head
Plantation,
and
we
are
so
thankful
help
these
people.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
J
Good
morning,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Donnie
kunich
and
I'm
here
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
not
only
the
heart
of
everybody
here,
who's
a
resident,
the
one
underlying
Factor
we're
not
even
thinking
about
is,
is
not
just
the
what
is
affecting
our
livelihood
that
we're
bringing
all
these
people
in,
but
we
don't
have
the
workforce
to
sustain
the
restaurants,
the
hotel
cleaning,
just
everyday
life
as
a
result,
with
the
impact
that
the
short-term
rental
market
has
put
on
our
homes.
J
J
You
know
our
former
mayor
and
I
want
to
quote
him,
and
it's
important
to
understand
this,
because
every
person
in
this
room
feels
the
same
way
says.
Hilton
Head
is
a
brand,
and
this
was
from
the
postman.
Courier
has
always
been
a
quality,
and
the
experience
opposed
to
the
number
of
people
on
the
beach
in
a
restaurant
in
crammed
houses.
J
So
it's
something
that
we've
known
about
the
bonus
program
that
we
speak
about
in
your
strategic
plan
doesn't
work
because
you
put
too
many
limitations
on
the
value
of
the
home
in
the
future
or
we
put
limitations
on
the
income.
The
individual
has
to
have
to
even
stay
in
one
there's,
a
better
fix,
I,
don't
have
it.
It's
obvious.
The
homeowners
here
who
live
here
representing
the
each
neighborhood
is
upset
with,
what's
going
on
in
their
neighborhood,
it's
not
home
anymore.
J
So
it's
up
to
you
to
find
a
way
to
resolve
what
we,
where
we've,
come
to
find
a
way
to
have
a
happy
meeting
between
our
home
rentals
and,
most
importantly,
the
people
who
support
this
island,
the
workforce.
If
we
don't
stop
now,
we
won't
have
a
solution
and
we're
going
to
implode
on
ourselves
and
I.
Ask
you
to
look
into
it
greatly.
J
K
Morning
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Daniel
Anthony.
As
you
all
well
know,
short-term
rentals
have
become
an
enormous
problem
in
residential
neighborhoods.
The
residents
in
the
JPS
team
are
here
today
to
convey
to
the
town
the
concerns
we
all
have
in
regards
to
short-term
rentals
and
how
they
affect
residential
neighborhoods
across
the
island.
We
have
already
heard
from
different
various
speakers
about
the
various
concerns
of
short-term
rentals.
K
I
would
like
to
talk
to
you
today
about
the
proposed
Str
policy
that
we,
the
JPS
team,
has
created,
give
citizens
the
option
to
utilize
their
properties
to
generate
extra
income
from
short-term
rentals.
As
long
as
all
of
the
following
policy
objectives
are
met,
ensure
that
traditional
residential
neighborhoods
are
not
turned
into
tourist
areas,
to
the
detriment
of
long-term
residents,
ensure
any
regulation
of
short-term
rentals
does
not
negatively
affect
property
values
or
property.
K
This
is
going
to
be
fun
by
establishing
a
40
percent.
Far
immediately.
All
parking
is
based
on
square
footage.
A
short-term
rental
dwelling
unit,
one
parking
space
for
every
one
thousand
feet
square
feet
of
the
short-term
dwelling
unit,
the
short-term
rental
permit
fees
to
be
based
on
the
square
footage
of
the
short-term
rental
dwelling
unit.
A
2,
a
250
dollar
fee
will
be
charged
in
the
first
one
thousand
square
feet.
A
fee
of
150
will
be
charged
for
each
additional
1
000
square
feet.
K
All
short-term
rental
units
will
be
inspected
for
compliance
annually.
All
owners
wishing
to
rent
their
property
must
establish
a
South
Carolina
residency,
all
short-term
permit
fees
and
fines
that
be
used
for
the
enforcement.
A
g
o

I
respectfully
asked
the
PC
to
advance
this
policy
to
the
Town
Council
for
View
at
the
next
town
council
meeting.
In
closing,
let
me
say
this
There
Are
Places
on
this
island
for
short-term
minutes,
but
it's
not
in
residential
neighborhoods
y'all
need
to
understand
what
that
term
means
residential
neighborhood.
G
L
Nice
to
see
some
of
you
again,
my
face
is
becoming
familiar.
My
name
is
marilis
wisnaki
and
I'm.
The
board
president
of
the
Hilton
Head
Island
motor
coach
Resort.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
address
you
about
our
concerns
again
about
the
Deep
Well
in
reverse
osmosis
project
adjacent
to
our
Resort.
We
emailed
our
lengthier
note
so
I
know
Krista's
out,
but
you'll
be
getting
a
copy
of
those
first
I
want
to
give
you
an
overview
of
who
we
are.
Our
Resort
has
been
here
since
1978
and
sits
on
50
acres
of
land.
L
It's
a
five-star
rated
motor
coach
Resort
throughout
the
country
and
includes
401
privately
owned
Lots,
with
just
under
800
tax,
paying
owners
being
on
this
beautiful
island.
It
is
a
destination
that
attracts
people
from
all
over
the
country.
A
number
of
our
owners
live
here,
full-time
and
every
tired
here
and
many
others
are
here
for
at
least
six
months
per
year.
For
all
of
us,
this
is
home
on
average.
The
current
value
of
each
lot
is
about
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars,
and
the
average
cost
of
a
motor
home
is
about
four
hundred
thousand.
L
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
huge
investment
in
this
lifestyle.
With
regard
to
the
project.
Please
know
we
don't
begrudge
anyone
from
Safe
Drinking
Water
were
our
concerns,
lie
or
that
the
project
is
being
constructed
so
close
to
us
and
we're
worried
about
short
and
long-term
negative
effects.
Our
main
concerns
include
noise
pollution,
health
hazards
and
decrease
in
our
property
values
and
I
would
like
to
throw
in.
L
We
are
zoned
Light
commercial,
but
for
all
intents
and
purposes
we
are
a
residential
Community
for
sure
we
were
never
notified
of
this
project
and
only
found
out
when
we
witnessed
the
land
being
cleared.
The
buffer
along
our
property
line
is
totally
gone.
We
met
with
the
South
Island,
PSD
and
others,
and
were
assured
certain
steps
would
be
taken
and
we
have
suggested
steps
that
would
mitigate
the
negative
impact
so
far,
we've
seen
no
results
when
I
inquired
why
this
particular
site
was
chosen.
I
was
told
he
didn't
even
know.
We
were
back
there.
L
The
40-foot
High
300
000
gallon
water
holding
tank
that
was
built
to
irrigate
wexford's
Golf
Course,
was
built
only
30
feet
from
our
property
line,
and
it's
now
our
direct
view
on
that
side
of
our
Resort.
The
holding
tank
was
supposed
to
be
painted
a
dark,
Charleston
green,
so
it
would
better
blend
into
the
environment,
even
something
as
simple
as
that
did
not
occur.
Several
of
us
visited
cordillo,
Parkway
Plant,
it's
much
smaller
than
this
one
and
it's
extremely
noisy.
In
closing,
we
are
asking
that
the
decision
makers
seriously
consider
our
concerns.
L
C
M
Good
morning
my
name
is
Blaine:
bud.
Grindle
and
I
live
at
133
Arrow
Road
I'm,
here
again
today,
to
ask
for
your
concern
and
attention
to
the
s-I-p-s-d
project
on
Donna
Gonzalez
I
have
submitted
written
comments
that
will
be
distributed
and
I.
Ask
you
to
read
them
carefully
to
understand
our
position
since
construction
on
this
project
began.
We
have
met
with
Town
staff
officials
and
officials
of
the
PSD,
while
we
completely
understand
and
support
the
construction
of
this
needed.
M
M
This
committee
is
this
committee
is
responsible
to
the
residents
to
ensure
modifications
to
the
town
meet
the
town
codes
that
hasn't
always
been
done.
We
have
made
suggestions
to
the
PSD
regarding
the
location
of
noise
producing
equipment
in
phase
two.
Their
preliminary
design
showed
that
much
of
the
noise
producing
equipment
was
facing
our
neighborhood
with
some,
hopefully
minor
relocations
and
some
sound
deadening
walls.
We
think
the
noise
will
be
reduced
down
to
town
code
levels
or
below.
We
supplied
them
a
drawing
showing
the
proposed
locations.
We
have
not
received
a
response
from
them
as
usual.
M
M
Our
study
has
shown
that
many
of
us
will
be
exposed
to
a
constant
level
of
60
to
70
decibels.
24
hours
a
day.
The
plant
is
in
at
maximum
production
at
midnight
that
exceeds
the
town
limits
in
your
own
code.
We
are
Downstream
from
the
mist
from
the
cooling
towers,
which
likely
will
contain
biological
matter,
such
as
Legionella
disease.
M
We
are
too
close
to
the
towers.
According
to
standard
design,
practices
I
asked
this
commission
to
carefully
review
their
next
application,
paying
particular
attention
to
the
noise
levels
that
will
be
generated,
the
excessive
runoff
that
is
flooding
our
properties
and
the
location
of
cooling
towers
and
the
known
health
hazards
associated
with
them.
I
ask
you
to
scrutinize
their
next
permit
request
very
carefully.
The
long-term
effects
of
their
building
construction,
location
and
soundproofing
will
all
influence
the
quality
of
life
for
all
of
us.
M
N
Good
morning,
good
morning,
my
name
is
Jeannie
Kangas
I
own
and
live
in
the
Hilton
Head
motor
coach,
Resort
I'm
speaking
today,
because
of
the
sipsd
water
treatment
project
and
how
it's
impacting
our
Resort
owners
and
renters
the
plant
is
being
constructed
in
two
phases:
phase
one
involves
building
a
water
tank
drilling
two
Wells,
one
shallow
and
one
deep
3
800
feet:
expanding
approximately
15
to
16
months.
Phase
2
involves
the
construction
of
the
RO
plant,
six
cooling
towers,
other
related
equipment
and
another
water
tank
spanning
an
additional
three
years.
With
expected
completion
in
2027.
N
phase,
one
has
been
permitted
and
is
in
process.
To
date,
we
have
endured
site
clearing
and
preparation
construction
noise
disruption
during
the
first
water
tank
construction
and
water
runoff.
Presently
the
first
well
is
being
drilled
phase.
Two
is
not
yet
permitted
if
approved
as
proposed.
Once
the
plan
is
operational,
we
will
be
listening,
24
7
non-stop
to
plant
operations,
including
cooling
towers,
generators,
fans
and
other
equipment
which
are
the
equivalent
to
six
locomotive
engines
in
our
backyard.
N
We
believe
the
excessive
noise
will
inhibit
enjoyment
of
our
properties
and
even
sleeping
through
the
night.
We
have
also
learned
that
these
cooling
tires
Harbor
deadly
Legionella,
which
is
we
all
know
not
good
we're
here
today,
because
we
have
been
told
that
phase
two
which
addresses
the
construction
of
the
operating
plant
has
not
yet
been
permitted.
Presently
sipsid's
existing
phase,
II
project
schematic,
has
no
sight
or
sound
mitigation
Incorporated.
N
At
this
stage
there
is
time
and
opportunity
to
carefully
evaluate
the
proposed
layout
and
design.
For
example,
we
have
a,
we
have
been
advised
at
cooling
tower,
design
and
selection
is
critical
to
noise
generation
and
or
that
simply
rearranging
the
cooling
towers
can
direct
noise
away
from
our
Resort
rather
than
directly
into
our
Resort
as
presently
proposed.
In
addition,
we
have
been
advised
that
sight
and
sound
barriers
can
easily
be
added.
N
We
have
reached
out
to
sipset
and
have
received
no
indication
that
they
have
any
intention
of
addressing
our
concerns
and
because
sipset
has
already
won
disregarded
their
required
property
buffer
and
two
has
not
taken
addresses
to.
It
has
not
taken
into
concern
the
the
water
runoff.
This
project
needs
thoughtful
oversight.
We
ask
that
the
planning
committee
carefully
review
the
permit
application
for
phase
two
which
addresses
the
construction
of
the
operating
plant
and
before
approval
and
permitting
of
phase
two
required
that
sips
that
incorporates
Sight
and
Sound
mitigation.
O
Hi
good
morning,
good
morning,
I'm
Jerry
seister
I'm,
a
permanent
resident
of
the
island
here,
I
like
to
think
of
myself
as
more
a
permanent
tourist,
because
I
came
here
as
a
tourist,
short-term
rental
effects
on
the
economy
and
tourism,
short-term
rentals
pay
more
in
property
taxes
and
pay
for
our
schools
with
less
short-term
rentals.
The
residence
taxes
would
be
increased
to
make
up
the
difference.
O
Short-Term
rentals
owners
employ
property
managers,
cleaners,
service
providers
and
others.
The
owners
support
local
stores
in
order
to
furnish
and
stock
their
homes.
The
primary
source
of
Revenue
on
Hilton
Head
Island
is
income
tax,
followed
closely
by
sales
tax.
We
have
no
manufacturing
here
and
rely
on
services,
while
tourists
support
businesses.
The
real
Revenue
comes
from
the
W-2
service
earners.
Our
resident
population
could
not
support
all
of
the
services
we
have
on
the
island.
O
We
must
have
tourists
to
fund
our
Island
short-term
rentals
have
a
smaller
Green,
Space
footprint,
keeping
tourist
accommodations
in
harmony
with
the
Island's
natural
environment,
as
in
Charles
Fraser
design
for
the
island.
It's
a
large,
multi-level
home
hotels,
timeshares
and
resorts
are
eyesource
and
will
get
more
numerous
if
the
smaller
detached
house
and
Villa
accommodations
are
eliminated.
O
Short-Term
rental
owners
have
the
incentive
to
update
and
upkeep
their
properties
to
keep
them
attractive
to
prospective
guests.
This
helps
the
islands
keeps
the
island,
beautiful
and
property
values,
higher
short-term
rentals,
bring
in
tourists
who
spend
their
money
on
the
island,
keep
businesses
open
and
employees
working.
They
also
pay
sales
and
Accommodations
Tax,
which
helps
to
fund
our
government
and
pay
for
amenities
on
the
island.
The
residents
also
with
joy,
most
short-term
rental
owners
consider
their
rental
homes,
their
second
home
and
many
plan
to
use
their
short-term
rentals
as
their
permanent
home.
O
P
For
the
record,
my
name
is
Richard
alvanos
I
am
a
resident
of
Hilton
Head
Island
didn't
plan
on
speaking
today,
but
since
the
floor
was
open,
I
thought
I'd,
take
the
opportunity
and
come
and
speak
before
you
I've,
been
coming
here
since
about
1967
on
property.
Here,
since
1970.
so
I've
seen
a
lot
of
changes,
the
property
we
bought
was
in
a
single
family,
residential
neighborhood.
P
Q
Q
You
can
hardly
tell
the
difference
between
the
surf
watch
building
and
these
other
things
that
are
built
side
to
side,
with
no
space
in
between
by
a
single
developer
in
our
neighborhood
I
left
you
a
plat
that
where
he
is
about
5
8
of
an
acre
at
the
opening
to
Bradley
circle.
Now
he
there's
three
one-eighth,
acre
lots
and
a
quarter
acre
lot.
Now
he
has
sold
the
quarter
acre
lot
from
one
of
his
corporations
to
another
Corporation
owned
by
himself,
so
that
he
can
subdivide
that
into
two
one-eighth.
Q
Acre
lots
so
now
we're
in
a
position
under
the
current
regulations.
If
he
brings
his
plans
today
or
before
you
all,
take
action
he'll
be
able
to
build
five
more
10
bedroom
units
on
a
little
over
half
an
acre
if
the
floor
area
ratio
and
parking
rules
are
not
established
right
away.
This
will
certainly
happen.
We're
in
100
yard
dash
with
this
developer.
It's
our
entire
Community
versus
one
person
and
I
really
hope
that
y'all
will
side
with
our
community.
Q
This
is
not
something
that
can
wait
on
the
entire
LMO
rewrite
I'm
going
to
be
asking
Mr
Orlando
to
move
this
along
to
pull
out
two
things
that
will
help
not
only
us
but
everybody
in
this
room.
If
you
establish
a
floor
area
ratio
of
whatever
percentage,
30,
40,
50
I,
don't
care.
These
things
are
almost
two
hundred
percent.
These
houses
will
be
ten
thousand
square
feet
if
he
wants
to
which
he
has
before
so.
I
have
no
reason
to
believe
he'll
change,
ten
thousand
square
feet.
Q
Houses
on
fifty
four
hundred
square
foot
lots
a
ratio
of
nearly
two
to
one
if
you
and
your
community
have
a
quarter
or
third,
an
acre
lot.
Next
to
you,
do
you
want
20,
25
or
30
bedrooms?
Next
to
you?
This
is
what
we
have
every
night
in
my
backyard.
There
are
party
decks
on
five
houses
and
they
raised
cane
as
long
as
they
want
to.
Q
We
can
call
the
sheriff
Sometimes
They
Come.
Sometimes
they
can't
I
need
you
to
please
work
with
Mr
Orlando
and
Mr
Kyle
and
their
staffs.
We
need
to
carve
out
immediately
floor
area
ratio
and
decent
sized
parking
three-dimensional
parking
spaces
so
that
they
can't
do
what
they
did
now
and
have
little
parking
garages
that
are
six
feet
above
six
feet.
I
can
barely
walk
into
them.
Cars
can't
park
there,
so
please
protect
our
community.
This
is
an
emergency
situation
and
also
you'll
be
doing
everyone
in
this
room.
Q
G
R
Good
morning
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today,
my
name
is
Peter
Hector
after
visiting
the
island
for
decades
with
my
family,
we
were
fortunate
enough,
just
this
past
year
to
purchase
a
home
in
North.
Forest.
Beach
really
wish
we'd
have
done
it
a
couple
years
ago,
but
we
didn't
like
many
homeowners
here.
We
enjoy
the
home
in
the
off
season
as
much
as
possible,
but
we
use
a
local
rental
agency
to
help
us,
in
peak
times
of
the
year,
to
rent
the
home
to
short-term
rentals.
R
To
help
offset
some
of
the
expenses
island
has
been
known
as
a
family
destination,
with
wonderful
beaches
and
abundance
of
golf
courses,
and
so
on.
For
for
as
long
as
I
can
recall,
although
there
are
numerous
hotel
and
condo
Alternatives,
most
families
prefer
to
rent
a
home.
So
it
is
spacious
enough
to
include
their
siblings,
their
family
members,
and
in
our
case
we
we
get
together
with
my
brother
sister
once
a
year.
R
It's
our
opportunity
to
connect
our
families
together
and
short-term
rental
homes,
and
the
tourism
industry
are
critical
to
the
success
of
Hilton,
head's
local
economy,
short-term
rental
homes,
fuel
the
economy,
provide
great
service
jobs
and
they
generate.
They
generate
the
revenue
from
tourism
that
supports
many
of
Hilton
head's,
local
activities,
the
schools,
the
beaches,
roadway
improvements,
bike
paths,
parks
and
police
and
and
Emergency
Services.
However,
I
I
do
understand
that
there
needs
to
be
a
balance
that
struck
between
local
full-time
residents
and
and
visiting
seasonal
guests.
R
So
my
caution
is:
can
we
please
just
be
a
little
patient,
see
what
settles
out
see
what
the
local
ordinances
that
we
just
passed,
what
they
generate
for
everybody
and
and
I'm
very
confident
that,
like
some
of
the
communities
down
here
on
on
the
island
that,
whether
it's
Palmetto,
Dunes
or
Sea
Pines,
will
strike
a
balance
that
works
for
everybody
in
the
end
and
takes
care
of
what
the
Jonesville
preservation
Society
is
looking
to
achieve
and
so
on.
So
that
is
just
my
word
of
caution.
R
I've
lived
in
an
area
we
lived
in
New
England
for
a
number
of
years
and
had
a
home
on
Cape
Cod
and
saw
what
lack
of
Regulation
and
how
that
negatively
impacts.
What's
going
on
and
I
just
be
cautious
of
over
regulating
and
destroying,
essentially
the
goose
that
laid
the
golden
egg
for
the
economy
here
on
Hilton
Head.
Thank
you
very
much,
foreign.
S
Good
morning,
good
to
see
everyone
I
come
here
today
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
vacation
rental
industry.
I
am
the
President
of
the
Hilton
Head
vacation
rental,
Alliance
I'm
also
involved
in
South,
Carolina,
vacation
rental,
Alliance
and
saying
today
to
you,
as
members
of
this
Council
in
our
greater
Council
I,
will
be
the
incoming
president
of
the
vacation
rental
management
association,
the
international
governing
body
of
vacation
rentals.
So
if
we
want
to
have
a
real
conversation
about
how
to
properly
regulate
this
industry,
I
stand
before
you
offering
my
services
to
do
so.
S
When
we
talk
about
short-term
rental
rentals,
we
talk
about
with
the
issues
with
Jonesville.
We
talk
about
the
issues
with
Bradley
Beach.
We
have
just
started
on
a
journey
of
regulating
this
industry.
We
need
to
understand
that
we
have
the
ability,
as
Hilton
Head
Island,
to
set
the
gold
standard
for
regulation.
S
That
is
very
important
when
it
comes
to
trying
to
work
a
balance.
I
myself
am
a
21-year
resident.
I
myself
and
my
partner
have
23
employees
that
we
employ
I
myself
and
my
partner
have
over
250
service
providers
that
we
use
just
for
our
organization
and
I
am
one
of
43
different
rental
companies
on
the
island.
So
please
understand
the
impact
that
if
we
jump
before
we
know
the
consequences
could
have
on
our
entire
environment.
S
S
The
other
item
that
I
am
extremely
disappointed
about
is-
and
we
have
done
this
before
The
Advisory
Council
needs
to
be
started.
Now
you
have
people
in
this
room
that
want
to
voice
their
concerns.
We
have
the
ability
to
help.
There
are
people
on
both
sides
of
this
matter.
The
advisory
council
could
be
a
Clearinghouse
instead
of
wasting
all
of
this
time
in
front
of
the
public
planning
committee
to
be
able
to
take
those
issues.
S
T
T
So
please
consider
that
when
you
think
about
short-term
rentals,
it's
not
just
destroying
neighborhoods.
Where
communities
you
know,
kids
have
no
one
to
play
with,
because
there's
nobody
on
their
street
that
lives
there.
It's
not
just
that!
It's
not
just
the
environment.
It's
not
just
that
people
spent
their
whole
life
working
to
buy
a
house
here
and
then
now
they've
got
to
see
a
monstrosity.
You
know
next
door
that
they
were
never
planning
on.
It's
that
you
will
have
nobody
to
mow
your
lawns.
T
You
want
nobody
to
walk
your
dogs,
you
won't
have
anybody
to
stop
the
ER.
You
won't
have
anybody
at
restaurants.
You
will
not
have
anybody
in
the
resorts.
There
will
be
nobody
here.
No
one
like
me.
If
you
guys
don't
think
about
us
when
you're,
considering
short-term
rentals,
we
need
long-term,
affordable
housing
on
this
island.
I
will
say
it
at
every
meeting.
You
will
get
tired
of
seeing
me,
but
that
is
my
job
now.
So
thank
you.
U
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I'll.
Try
to
make
this
brief.
I
know
the
Town
Council
has
been
working
to
craft
short-term
rental
regulations,
with
the
goal
of
balancing
the
needs
of
residents
with
the
rights
of
property
owners
for
well
over
a
year.
The
phase
one
recommendations
were
implemented.
January
1st
of
this
year,
short-term
rental
properties
generate
Town
revenues
in
excess
of
those
of
full-time
residents
like
me,
including
a
higher
base
property
tax.
They
pay
school
taxes,
a
tax
age
tax
and
Beach
renourishment
dollars.
U
Eliminating
strs
completely
would
have
a
significant
detrimental
effect
on
our
local
economy,
not
only
due
to
decreased
tax
collections,
but
also
because
property
values
would
drop
as
Str
owners
move
their
Investments
to
other
markets
where
they
can
achieve
similar
rates
of
return
that
they
currently
enjoy.
Here.
U
As
part
of
your
initial
regulation
discussion,
there
was
a
recommendation
for
the
vacation
rental
advisory
committee.
That
committee
should
include
residents
like
those
who
spoke
today,
business
owners
and
the
industry
like
Mr
Brown,
to
assess
the
results
of
the
phase
one
regulations
and
make
further
recommendations
to
council
the
phase
one
data
is
currently
being
collected.
I
recommend
that
this
committee
move
now
to
a
panel
that
advisory
committee
so
that
they're
ready
to
analyze
the
program
cost
versus
Revenue,
collected
the
community
impact
of
phase
one
regulations
and
to
develop
the
phase.
Two
changes
for
you.
A
We
hear
you,
we
understand
the
challenges
that
you
have
in
your
neighborhoods,
the
traffic
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
We
are
pushing
as
a
council
to
find
that
right
balance.
Thank
you
again
for
coming
and,
of
course,
you're
welcome
to
stay
here.
But
if
you'd
like
to
excuse
yourself
now,
please
do
and
as
quickly
as
possible.
Otherwise
we'll
continue
with.
B
B
B
It's
about
the
future
short-term
rentals
that
will
be
built
tomorrow.
So
the
far
the
fair
floor
area
ratio
is
an
important
aspect
that
should
move
as
a
priority
ahead
of
all
others.
The
idea
of
a
parking
spot
for
a
bedroom
or
for
per
square
foot
that
increases
the
the
opportunity
for
those
cars
not
to
be
parked
on
top
of
each
other
in
yards
and
yards
becoming
gravel
parking,
lots
from
them
parking
down
the
streets
in
our
grocery
stores
and
our
parks
and
then
being
shuttled
over
taking
up
spaces
for
our
residents.
B
So
those
two
items
alone
not
only
impact
the
future
the
present,
but
they
can
impact
the
future
and
how
we
begin
truly
to
address
the
balance
that
we
seek.
We
ask
some
have
asked
we
got
here
now,
how
do
we
get
out
of
it
and
that
those
two
items
alone
will
address
that
I
think
Beyond.
Those
we've
heard
a
suggestion
from
the
Jonesville
preservation
group
that
they
have
others
that
they
would
like
us
to
forward
to
Town
Council
and
on
to
our
town,
manager
and
I.
B
B
But
I
actually
asked
before
you
do
chair
I
did
ask
that
we
take
and
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
take
the
recommendations
that
were
presented
to
us
for
consideration
and
pass
them
on
to
Our
Town
Council
to
to
look
at
more
closely
and
determine
whether
or
not
we
want
to
pass
them
on
to
our
town
manager.
For
as
a
direction.
B
It
was
discussed
in
our
strategic
plan
as
a
matter
of
fact
that
we
would
make
a
priority
at
looking
at
the
Land,
Management
ordinance
and
the
conditions
with
regard
to
development
over
development
Redevelopment.
However,
you
want
to
say
it
on
this
island,
so
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
that
we
take
the
document
that
the
Jonesville
presentation
group
has
put
together
and
move
it
forward
for
further
consideration.
A
V
Yes,
sir,
just
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
item,
I
know
we
want
to
move
on
with
business.
I.
Just
do
want
to
point
out
that
we
have
changes
that
are
currently
working
on
to
the
LMO
to
address
some
of
these
short-term
pinch
points
and
issues
when
the
Town
Council
had
their
strategic
plan.
Back
in
January,
we
looked
at
a
60
to
90
day
time
frame,
we're
working
with
our
internal
Team
Laser
focused
on
this.
V
We've
had
a
couple
of
different
charrettes
and
lead
into
some
of
these
next
items,
but
we
will
deliver
short-term
amendments
to
the
Land
Management
ordinance.
There
are
some
that
are
already
going
through
the
process
in
that
60
to
90,
day
period
and
so
we're
executing
based
on
that
direction.
That
came
at
that
point.
We
would
overhaul
our
entire
LMO
by
the
end
of
the
year
to
include
the
district
planning
and
the
growth
framework
that
we're
going
to
be
discussing
here
shortly
when
we
get
to
it.
V
V
Want
to
just
provide
some
overview
because
I
don't
think
I've
ever
been
more
excited
about
on
a
time
in
Hilton
head's
history,
since
I've
been
here
I've
been
used.
My
17th
year
we've
been
talking
about
a
a
master
plan
for
Hilton
Head
Island
in
my
previous
work,
I
did
a
lot
of
Redevelopment
plans
and
so
I
was
excited
when
I
came
to
Hilton,
because
I
thought
we
were
would
transitioning
to
look
at
Master
planning
looking
at
Redevelopment
and
I'm
happy
that
we're.
V
V
As
you
work
through
and
adopt
that
process,
it
should
translate
into
your
strategic
planning.
It
should
translate
into
your
implementation
tools,
including
the
Land
Management,
ordinance,
your
zoning
and
so
forth.
We
have
not
had
a
future
land
use
map
on
Hilton
island
in
my
tenure,
and
so
this
effort
will
guide
a
future
land
use
map
that
provides
the
right
consistency,
development
levels
both
for
public
and
private
investment
to
kind
of
reset.
So
we
will
complete
the
conditions
and
Trends.
We
need
to
really
understand
what
we're
where
we're
at
on
some
of
these
key
things.
V
V
You
look
at
short-term
rentals
if,
if
you
had
two
people
per
per
house
and
you
want
to
grow
ten
thousand,
it's
five
thousand
more
residential
units
across
the
entirety
of
the
island
that
doesn't
factor
in
if
those
homes
are
built
as
short-term
rentals
right
that
doesn't
contribute
to
your
permanent
population.
So
we
need
to
look
at
that.
V
If,
if
a
third
or
a
half
of
the
home
is
being
built
are
in
the
short-term
rental
bucket,
then
you
have
to
have
twice
that
number
of
units
to
get
to
that
where
the
appetite
for
growth
was
or
you
have
to
look
at
the
where
that
balance
point
is,
is
councilman
Ames
mentioned,
so
the
condition
and
Trends
assessment
really
understanding
where
our
capacities
are.
Where
are
there,
opportunities
from
growth
from
the
systems
we
have
in
the
island
is
very
important.
V
The
growth
framework
map
will
provide
the
foundation
for
where
public
and
private
investment
and
growth
should
and
should
not
happen,
we're
trying
to
base
that
again
about
building
on
an
iterative
map.
Let's
protect
those
areas
that
we
know
should
not
be
developed.
We
have
several
townholdings
that
we
know
through
the
funding.
Sources
should
be
protected
by
the
based
on
the
funding,
the
funding
that
was
used
to
acquire
them.
There
are
environmentally
protected
areas
that
we
should
protect.
So
let's
build
that
map
and
understand
the
areas
that
we
want
to
protect
and
preserve.
V
Environmental
Protection
is
at
the
very
top
of
our
list,
and
then
we
know
where
there's
areas
where
activity
has
occurred,
where
it
makes
sense
and
where
there's
capacity
for
additional
growth
based
on
Transportation,
other
infrastructure,
water,
sewer,
mobility
and
and
so
we're
trying
to
build
that
map.
Using
that
information,
we
know
that
Hilton
Head
Island
will
will
grow
to
what
level
we're
going
to
find
out
and
determine,
and
where
that
should
happen.
V
V
I
know
I,
probably
stole
a
lot
of
what
Missy's
going
to
cover,
but
that's
the
direction
that
we're
on
she's
going
to
give
a
little
more
detail,
because
we
have
been
working
with
consultants
and
our
team,
and
so
I'm
gonna
I
told
her
Missy
take
charge
and
I'm
gonna
get
out
of
the
way,
but
I
want
to
share
that
for
the
group.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Sean.
W
Lewick
assistant
community
development,
director
I'm
very
excited
to
also
talk
about
these
projects.
I
think
Sean
did
pretty
much
take
everything
that
I
was
going
to
share
with
you,
but
but
really
they're,
both
threaded
together
so
and
linked
intricately,
and
also
to
the
LMO
project
that
will
be
on
your
agenda
next
month.
W
W
So
that's
kind
of
the
overall
vision
for
the
for
the
project
really
I'm
here
before
you
today
to
get
you
know
to
give
you
information
on
where
we're
headed
and
make
sure
that
we're
setting
the
correct
scope
for
the
overall
project
we
met
last
week
with
the
project
development
team
internally,
as
well
as
the
consultant
team
to
work
on
scope
and
and
overall,
how
we're
going
to
strategically
work
through
these
projects
and
especially
when
we
get
to
District
planning.
What
does
that
look
like?
How
are
we
going
to
work
with
the
community?
W
Is
that
conditions
and
Trends
analysis
which
will
give
us
the
information
and
data
we
need,
and
we
know
that
this
will
be
the
microphone
into
the
communities,
certainly
all
topics
we
will
hear
about
through
this
lens
of
community
engagement
and
then
I
think
as
short-term
rentals
were
were
discussed
today.
How
does
that
weave
into
District
planning
and
then
how
does
it
weave
into
perhaps
the
the
LMO
amendment
project
that
we'll
talk
to
you
about
next
month?
W
So
overall,
the
full
program,
as
we
described,
is
really
well
integrated
with
the
LMO
project
as
well
again
we'll
talk
about
that
project
next
month
and
what
the
scope
is
for
that
and
I
think
Sean
indicated
what
that
project
Loosely
entails,
but
we'll
have
more
information
on
that
next
month.
If
you
have
any
questions,
yeah.
V
Sorry,
you're
still
in
charge,
okay,
exciting.
There
will
be
a
significant
Community
engagement
component
to
this
I
I've
gone
through
some
exercises
in
other
communities
through
the
Urban
Land
Institute,
where
they've
come
in
and
they
they've
done.
These
reality
checks
and
it
looks
at
the
community
in
3D
right.
So
where
is
the
development
intensity
and
levels?
How
is
it
distributed
and
then
it
takes
into?
V
It
makes
some
assumption
to
say
here's
roughly
what
we
think
the
right
additional
mix
would
be,
and
then
the
community
Works
to
place
that
you
know
sometimes
as
poker
chips
or
Legos
or
whatever,
but
they
it's
it's
a
3D
representation
of
the
community
and
if
you
looked
at
an
intensity
Center
like
caligny
or
Shelter,
Cove,
Town,
Center
or
Harbor
Town,
is
there
an
opportunity
to
add
some
more
in
that
to
protect
areas
that
should
be
protected?
So
it's
not
just
adding
more
in
those
areas.
V
It
is,
let's
reduce
development
intensity
in
some
areas
and
move
those
to
where
it's
appropriate
to
have
that.
So
as
part
of
this
process,
that's
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
that
is
those
similar
exercises.
How
have
the
community
help
guide
where
they
think
that
development
should
occur,
and
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
brought
that
in
we'll
bring
you
a
draft
growth
framework
map
and
the
the
draft
District
map
for
review?
W
Sorry
I
just
have
one
more
comment
on
the
the
end
result
or
deliverable
package
for
this
effort,
similar
to
Mid
Island
District.
It
was
a
bound
book.
We
envision
each
district
to
be
part
of
an
overall
package,
but
that
can
be
pulled
out
as
individual
chapters
or
sections.
So
it
will
look
similar
to
Mid
Island
District
overall
in
how
that
was
formatted
and,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
overall
deliverable
concept.
A
X
You
Glenn,
thank
you
Missy.
Thank
you
for
this
presentation.
This
is
really
exciting.
We're
going
in
the
right
direction
here,
but
for
a
fuller
understanding
for
someone
that's
not
been
through
this
exercise
before
are
we
talking
about
this
map
will
be
available
electronically
to
all
of
the
residents
of
the
island.
W
They
will
just
like
Mid
Island
District.
It
will
go
through
an
exercise
to
look
at
existing
zoning,
existing
land
use
and
then
future
land
use
and
as
we
get
through,
that
District
planning
and
and
hear
from
residents
on
are
those
uses.
Appropriate
are
the
is
the
intensity
and
the
density
appropriate
and
will
calibrate
with
the
recommendation
section
for
each
district.
X
W
X
So
beyond
conditions
and
Trends,
my
question
is:
will
it
be
available
on
the
map?
Will
you
be
looking
at
an
individual
parcel
or
a
neighborhood,
and
how
many
short-term
rentals
are
there
we're
mining
the
data
right
now
of
the
number
of
short-term
rentals
that
are
here
and
where
they're
located
through
our
program
in
the
short-term
rental
ordinance
and
the
licensing
that
is
being
required?
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
data
is
going
to
be
available
on
this
map
to
try
to
deal
with
this
very
difficult
issue
of
short-term
rentals.
We.
V
Councilman
samber,
we
can
certainly
develop
a
hub
and
dashboard
that
has
all
of
these
different
layers
to
include
you
know.
The
growth
framework
map
is
really
a
high
level,
let's
say:
30
000
foot
level
that
looks
at
where
you
have
centers,
where
you
have
edges
that
you
want
to
protect
and
then
transition
areas.
The
the
detail
will
come
in
the
district
planning,
we'll
evaluate
opportunities
and
risks
within
each
one
of
those
districts
like
we
did
for
Mid
Island
and
calibrate
a
future
land
use,
condition
and
map
that
pushes
Us
in
that
direction.
V
It'll
require
additional
code
changes
to
to
change
the
zoning
to
match
in
the
future.
Land
use
maps
should
guide
decision
making
going
forward,
and
then
the
zoning
map
is
your
tool,
your
regulatory
tools,
Part
Of,
Your,
Land,
Management
ordinance
and
make
that
happen.
We
will
have
the
ability
to
Overlay
the
distribution
of
short-term
rentals
within
the
districts
and
then
overall
island-wide
map
as
well,
and
that's
part
of
what
the
capabilities
of
having
this
short-term
rental
program
and
gov
OS
tracking
this
and
mapping
it
and
verifying
we'll
have
that
data
to
show
on
a
map.
X
Understand
that
we're
talking
about
30
000
feet
right
now,
and
that
would
not
show
at
that,
but
we've
had
so
many
concerns
about
short-term
rentals.
I
wanted
to
try
to
drill
down
to
the
point
that
that
will
be
available.
You
have
each
of
you
has
mentioned
that
there
will
be
considerable
opportunity
for
public
input.
We
need
to
do
that
by
going
out
into
the
community
rather
than
just
having
those
meetings
here
in
town
Council.
Thank
you.
This
is
an
exciting
time
and
I
look
forward
to
it.
V
B
Regard
to
short-term
rentals,
there
are
a
variety
of
different
types
of
short-term
rentals.
Many
of
them
create
issues
across
our
Island,
but
I'd
like
to
see
an
identified
data
point
that
shows
how
many
of
those
are
owned
by
LLCs
and
how
many
of
the
how
many
short-term
rentals
those
llc's
own
in
total,
because
that's
a
different
animal.
No
none
of
them
are
less
equal,
but
that's
a
different
animal
but
I'd
like
to
see
a
data
point
on
thanks.
Y
Y
I'm
really
glad
we're
going
to
have
Community
sessions
and
I
agree
that
it
should
be
in
the
communities.
I
think
that'd
be
very
helpful
and
I
think
it'd
be
good
to
see
a
timeline
of
how
that
would
work
out.
I
know
you're,
probably
still
in
the
initial
stages
of
figuring
that
out,
but
as
soon
as
we
have
some
sort
of
idea
about
how
that
will
progress
and
maybe
which
areas
will
be
included.
Y
The
other
thing
is
that,
when
you're
going
to
drill
down
to
districts
in
the
outline,
it
includes
Jonesville,
which
is
great
but
I,
think
we
ought
to
know
how
we're
going
to
figure
out
which
of
the
next
districts,
because
that
might
drive
some
of
the
community
sessions
I'm
only
guessing
at
that.
But
you
know
who
who
gives
you
the
ideas
about
which
districts
should
be
included
in
the
list
and
I
think
we
need
to
know
that
and
and
that
would
be
helpful
to
us
into
the
community
as
well.
Y
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
that,
and
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
and
I
think
you
mentioned
it
in
your
report,
the
balance
between,
if
we're
talking
about
full-time
residents
growing
from
40
to
50
000.
How
do
we
balance
that
with
those
who
come
and
visit
and
and
how
many
of
those
are
here
at
one
time
so
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
the
data
from
that
point
of
view
very
carefully
when
we're
looking
at
growth
management
and
I
I,
look
forward
to
this
work,
I'm
excited
about
it.
Y
A
A
Think
what
we're
talking
about
is
better
understanding
how
we
protect
our
Edge
conditions
for
the
higher
and
better
use
of
the
residents,
and
so
I
think
it
that's
those
two
elements:
how
are
we
going
to
preserve
the
areas
of
the
community
that
need
to
be
preserved,
and
not
not
only
in
natural
environment
but
neighborhoods
as
well
and
then?
Secondly,
how
are
we
going
to
protect
the
edge
conditions
of
residential
areas
on
the
in
the
community?
A
So
I
gather
from
our
consensus
up
here,
Missy
that
we're
headed
in
a
good
direction
and
we
look
forward
to
hearing
more
about
it
next
month
and
the
month
after.
Thank
you
next
on
the
item,
discussion
of
establishing
a
town
of
Hilton,
Head,
Island
planning
districts
is
that
incorporated
already
and
what
you've
talked
about
or
is
okay.
Thank
you.
Both
of
those
items
were
discussed
at
the
same
time.
A
Item
C
consideration
of
an
ordinance
updating
the
local,
comprehensive
Beach
management
plan
for
the
town
of
Hilton,
Head
Island,
pursuant
to
the
requirements
of
the
South
Carolina
beachfront
management
act.
This
is
something
that
the
state
requires
of
our
community
and
and
other
localities
along
the
ocean.
Please
Jeff
Buckaloo.
Z
Yes,
sir,
thank
you.
Mr
chairman
I'm
Jeff,
Buckaloo
I'm,
the
town
engineer
for
the
town
of
Hilton
Head
Island.
This
item
has
come
before
the
Planning
Commission
received
unanimous
approval.
It
then
came
before
the
Community
Services
Public
Safety
Committee,
an
in-town
council
at
the
last
council
meeting
in
January
when
it
was
discussed.
It
was
remanded
back
to
committee
through
this
public
planning
committee,
and
there
were
a
few
edits
and
changes
discussed
that
we
are
have
incorporated
into
the
plan.
Z
I
have
a
presentation
here
that
I
will
not
go
through
the
whole
thing.
It's
been
presented
before
to
Council
on
committees,
but
I
did
want
to
address
the
changes,
and
here
they
are
the
the
full
plan.
The
update
to
the
plan
is
in
the
packet
included
on
the
website
and
for
this
meeting
here
are
the
pages.
There
are
four
items
that
were
changed.
The
first
item
was
mention
of
where
the
chamber
promotes
our
beaches.
We
wanted
to
say
the
preservation
and
sustainability
of
our
beach.
Z
That
is
also
the
the
fourth
item,
the
same
thing
and
a
different
reference.
The
the
subsection
heading
of
a
climate
should
be
adaptation
and
sea
level
rise
plan,
we're
going
to
call
that
the
resilience
plan
going
forward,
and
then
there
was
a
mention
of
a
past
committee,
a
disaster
recovery
committee
that
did
their
their
mission
and
completed
their
work
and
was
then
disbanded
after
the
recovery
plan
was
adopted
by
Council
and
the
debris
management
plan.
So
so
we
admitted
that
from
the
plan.
Z
I've
been
doing
this
for
a
short
while
Scott
Liggett
did
it
for
decades
and
we're
fortunate
to
have
the
same
Coastal,
Engineering
consultant
that
has
worked
and
engineered
and
monitored
our
beaches
for
over
30
years
and
and
those
folks
tell
me
when
I
meet
other
city
managers,
City
Engineers,
Public,
Works
directors
and
Consultants
that
that
we
are
the
gold
standards.
We
are
what
people
want
to
be.
We
have
a
self-sustaining
funding
source
through
Accommodations
Tax.
Z
We
have
a
fenced
account
with
a
beach
preservation
fee
that
helps
fund
our
projects,
so
we
can
choose
to
go
after
grants
from
the
state
and
the
federal
governments
if
we
choose
to
do
so
on
these
renourishment
projects,
but
we
don't
have
to
we're
really.
You
know,
stewards
of
our
our
own
beaches
and
our
own
projects
and
how
we
want
to
do
them.
We
have
to
get
permits,
of
course,
that
we
can
to
go
without
that.
Z
Z
That
house
there
with
the
is
that
a
gable
roof
line
is
that
correct,
with
the
with
the
high
Windows
house
has
since
been
removed.
But
anyhow
the
pictures
were
taken
from
the
same
vantage
point
and
at
1990
when
it
was
every
property
owner
for
themselves.
You
see
the
Rock,
revetments
and
and
things
people
had
to
place
to
to
keep
the
the
ocean
from
eroding
their
lands.
So
many
good
things
not
only
the
recreation
and
commerce
and
everything
that
the
the
beaches
bring
habitat.
Z
Etc,
but
for
resiliency,
we,
you
know:
I
was
at
a
conference
here
a
few
months
ago
and
looking
at
what
Ian
did
up
near
Pawleys
Island,
so
some
areas
that
had
recently
been
reversed
and
some
that
hadn't
and
and
the
ones
that
had
been
recently
nursed
with
the
The
Surge,
fine
and
a
very
minor
erosion,
and
you
know
little
property
damage,
those
that
had
not
been
renourished
suffered
bad
property
damage,
and
that
was
a
low
cat
one.
So
yes,
sir.
Z
It,
yes,
it
helps
us.
Yes,
sir,
it
is
the
the
state.
Beachfront
management
act
requires
Coastal
communities
that,
like
us,
that
have
a
beach
program.
Have
a
beach
management
plan
updated
every
10
years.
It
is
adopted
by
ocrm.
We
had
our
last
plan
adopted
Bose
here
in
in
2017..
They
asked
for
a
five-year
interim
update,
which
is
what
we're
doing
through
this
ordinance,
adopting
that
and
it's
updating
the
statistics
and
the
facts
and
the
the
beach
surveys
Etc,
and
so
we're
updating
it
in
that
regard
and
we'll
submit
it
to
them.
Z
But,
yes,
it
it
will
help
with
our
permitting
and
a
little
bit
of
a
sidebar.
There
is
a
bill
before
the
the
senate
in
the
house.
Right
now
for
Beach
renourishment
funding,
Senator
camson
has
sponsored
that
bill
and
what
it
will
do
is
devote
a
a
line:
item
funding
within
South
Carolina,
Parks
wrecks
and
tourism.
Department,
an
annual
recurring
account
they're,
looking
at
eight
to
ten
million
initially,
and
it
will
come
from
two
percent
of
the
admissions
tax
admissions
taxes.
Z
Y
So
I
appreciate
that.
Also
there
are
suggestions
to
amendments
to
chapter
eight,
which
deals
with
the
beach
itself,
and
we
talked
about
those
and
that'll
be
a
different
process
to
go
through
those
possible
amendments.
There
is
some
language
in
the
plan
that
appeared
to
be
a
bit
dated,
and
so
we've
taken
care
of
that.
But,
most
importantly
I
think
is
the
language
in
I'm.
Sorry,
the
language
went
that
away
on
the
is,
but
the
language
which
concerned
me
in
the
plan
was
to
coordinate
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
tourism.
Y
In
addition,
one
of
the
focuses
one
of
the
15
strategies
is
adopting
a
resiliency
plan
which
I
know
you're
also
working
on,
and
there
was
some
language
which
referred
to
climate
adaptation
and
sea
level
rise,
and
now
we
have
made
it
clear
that
it's
moving
towards
the
resiliency
plan,
so
I
really
appreciate
the
time
and
the
information
from
the
staff
to
move
this
forward.
Thank.
X
B
In
1983
with
our
young
children
and
now
our
grandchildren,
the
beach
is
a
primary
spot
that
we
return
to
day
after
day
and
the
preservation
that's
been
undertaken
is
obvious.
It's
appreciated
and
you
guys
do
great
work
and
it's
a
tribute
to
Scott
in
many
ways
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
hard
work
that
you're
carrying
on
yeah.
Thank.
Y
Sorry
Mr
chair
I
forgot,
even
though
it
was
standing
right
in
front
of
me,
I'd
ask
a
question
about
that
had
been
raised
before
about
the
Gap
and
forgive
me
if
I'm
not
using
the
right
technical
terms,
but
the
gap
between
the
state's
regulation.
Thank
you
perfect
map,
the
the
state's
regulation
and
the
town's
jurisdiction,
especially
with
regard
to
installation
of
sea
walls
and
other
kinds
of
management
tools.
It
might
be
contrary
to
the
rest
of
of
the
town's
plan
and
I
see
you
pulled
up
a
map.
Y
Z
Ma'am,
we
don't
think,
there's
a
gap.
We
have
the
the
coastal
protection
overlay,
zoning
District
in
the
LMO
and
there's
a
transition
area
District
as
well.
I
pulled
up
an
example
slide
here
and
the
the
area,
the
the
seawall
case
that
folks
have
heard
about
in
Sea
Pines,
there
were
five
contiguous
properties.
There
you'll
see
the
the
little
beach
access
walk
up
to
the
upper
right,
but
but
those
five
properties
banded
together,
pulled
their
money
and
hired
a
contractor
and
said
we
want
to
build
a
seawall
I.
Z
You
know,
I
just
mentioned
we
have
a
great
renourishment
program
and
and
that's
what
most
folks
rely
upon
on
the
beach.
Well,
these
five
decided
look
at
the
cost
benefit
and
the
risk.
What
if
we
didn't?
You
know
whatever
their
thought
process
was
what
if
we
didn't
continue
to
re-nourish
what
if
we
got
hit
by
back-to-back
successive
you
know
highly
erosive
storms
Etc
anyhow,
they
made
the
decision
they
wanted
to
to
put
their
money
into
a
wall,
and
you
see
the
the
red
line.
Z
There
is
the
OC
arm
setback
line,
so
they
could
not
go
beyond
that
encroach
c
word
beyond
that.
There's
the
OCR
and
Baseline
which
right
at
this
location,
coincides
with
the
town's
beachfront
line,
our
beachfront
line.
We
took
the
1999
OCR
Baseline
and
we
said
it
and
locked
it
in.
We
said
that's
our
beachfront
line
for
the
town
standards
and
the
green.
The
lime
green
hatched
area
is
our
Coastal
protection
area.
So
at
this
segment
of
the
beach
you
know
they
did
not
encroach
beyond
the
setback
line
within
the
coastal
protection
line.
They
went
to.
Z
Whatever
is
five
feet
back.
You
can
see
the
the
Hedgerow
or
the
dark
line
on
their
property.
So
it's
it's
on
private
property.
Their
property
lines
coincide
with
that
red
line
thereabouts,
but
you
know
they
put
it
on
their
property
and
and
the
lawsuits
from
some
environmental
groups
stem
from
did
they
get
proper
coastal
zone
consistency
permitting
and
npds
stormwater
permitting
other
things,
but
I
mean
we
feel
that
there
are
no
gaps
or
loopholes.
You
know
we.
Z
Y
Yeah
and
and
I'd
save
this
article
from
gosh
I
think
it's
2018
and
Ricky
Parker
with
the
coastal
conservation.
League
was
quoted,
saying
that
if
we
wanted
try
to
address
the
seawall
question
and
this
Gap
question
to
extend
to
have
an
amendment
in
our
code
and
that's
what
I
was
asking
about,
so
it's
your
view
that
we
do
not
need
to
do.
That.
Is
that
correct.
