ADJOURNMENT
A

unanimous.
Thank

live
in
as

of
a
new
year.
We

That's

be
good
for
our
city.
Here,
that's
going
to
bring
people
together.
We
believe
that
the
business

is
important

A
A

issues

I'll

So
we
now
open
up
the
non-agenda
items
portion
of
our
agenda.
Yes,
sir
good
evening,
and
if
you
would
please
state
your
name
and
address
for.
F
My
interest
is
I,
am
a
water
main
expert,
yes
and
I.
Believe
I,
don't
just
believe.
I
am
certain
that
the
water
main
breaks
in
Aiken
can
be
stopped
and
I
think
that
he
should
be
stopped
now
when
I
say
I'm
an
expert
I,
don't
say
that
lightly
I
served
as
a
lead
research
engineer
for
Savannah
River
National
Laboratory
for
a
number
of
years,
I
have
a
master's
in
a
PhD
degree
in
mechanical
engineering.
F
We're
the
sole
purpose
of
my
studies
was
to
study
the
topic
of
why
pipes
break
so
I
am
a
lead
expert
I've
written
over
50
Publications
on
this
topic:
I've
written
two
textbooks
for
the
American
society
mechanical
engineers.
So
when
I
say,
I
know
why
what
are
main
breaks
happen
and
how
they
can
be
fixed.
I
know
what
I'm
talking
about
I'm
good
at
what
I
do.
F
What
are
main
breaks
in
this
city
I
told
him
at
that
time
that
they
weren't
taking
the
appropriate
actions
and
since
then
I've
written
four
op-eds
in
Florida
City
editor
and
the
Aiken
Standard
about
this
topic,
because
we
keep
breaking
the
water
mains
over
and
over,
they
don't
have
to
be
broken.
We
can
fix
them
and
we
can
take
the
actions
to
do
that
and
I
think
that's
what
I
want
to
say.
I
can
add
a
lot
to
that.
But
that's
what
I
want
to
say.
F
F
And
if
you
don't
stop
it
I,
don't
know
how
many
miles
of
pipe
you
have
in
the
city
I'm
sure
it's
a
couple
hundred.
So
that's
a
couple.
Two
three
hundred
million
dollars
you're
gonna,
perform
and
damages
over
the
next
20
to
25
years.
That's
a
lot
of
money
and
since
I'm
paying
the
taxes
part
of
it.
Just
a
little
bit
a
very
small
part
of
that
200
million
I
respectfully
ask
you
folks
to
take
the
time
and
reconsider
the
conversations
I
had
with
Mr
Bean,
but
both
some
years
ago
and
take
the
appropriate
actions.
F
I'm
not
asking
to
be
the
contractor
to
do
that.
Work,
but
I
think
that
somebody
should
be
hired
by
this
city
to
implement
those
things
and
they're.
Pretty
straightforward.
I
I
have
an
op-ed
coming
out
in
Jackson
Mississippi
free
press
this
week,
where
I
specify
exactly
what
you
need
to
do
step
by
step.
So
all
you
have
to
do
is
read
the
recipe
book
and
that's
respectfully
what
I
ask
you
folks
to
do
on
a
committee
and
with
that?
Thank
you
very
much
for
my
time.
Thank.
G
H
H
H
H
My
question
is:
who
pays
the
attorney
cost
for
these
personal
injury
cases
against
the
city?
Is
it
the
insurance
company
or
is
it
the
city?
Can
that
be
answered?
Is
it
the
insurance
companies
that
hire
the
lawyers
for
personal
injury
cases
are
going
to
involve
possible
settlements
greater
than
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I
Don't
hold
me
to
this,
the
city
manager
would
be
able
to
answer
this
question
better
than
I
can,
but
we
do
have
insurance
through
the
municipal
Insurance
risk
fund,
and
there
are
cases
from
time
to
time
where
they
will
take
up
the
cost
of
litigation
and
they'll
take
up
the
cost
of
the
Judgment.
If
there
is
one
okay.
H
I
H
I
would
hope
so
because
I
filed
a
Freedom
of
Information
Act
request
for
all
legal
invoices
to
the
legal
department
and
haven't
received
any
that
are
pertaining
to
any
personal
injury
cases,
so
either
somebody
withheld
information
which
is
against
the
law
or
you're
hiring
people,
the
insurance
companies
hiring
them.
So
the
question
is:
is
the
insurance
company,
the
one
holding
up
the
case
and
refusing
to
settle
with
this
family,
who
is
clearly
harmed
due
to
the
city's
negligence?
There's
almost
no
doubt
about
it.
H
H
J
It's
okay,
Debbie
Brown!
Do
it
right
Alliance
for
several
meetings
now
I
have
had
a
lot
of
difficulty.
Hearing
the
speakers
and
I.
It
might
be
that
this
needs
to
be
adjusted
or
that
the
volume
needs
to
be
turned
up,
but
the
first
Speaker
who
was
speaking
regarding
the
water
I
could
barely
hear
him
at
all.
So
that
does
a
disservice
to
him
and
the
you
know
the
community.
J
J
J
J
J
A
Thank
you
for
that's
three
minutes,
but
I
will
comment.
First
of
all,
the
reason
the
amdc
item
got
pulled
is
because
we
want
to
make
sure
it
does.
We
want
to
make
sure
it
does
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
to
vote
on
amtc
one
time
and
say:
oh,
we
didn't
do
it
right.
We
have
to
redo.
It
I
think
the
time
actually
allows
Council
to
make
sure
that
we
do
get
that
process
right.
K
F
A
A
You
you
asked
me:
how
long
is
it
you
asked
me
and
I'm
telling
you
I,
think
you'll
see
something
coming
up
sooner
rather
than
later
on
that
I
know
you
will,
but
it
it
probably
won't
reflect
exactly
what
we're
looking
at
tonight.
I
mean
it's
getting
getting
all
the
legal
advice
and
getting
getting
it
done,
so
it
is
done
properly.
J
A
Right
right,
but
but
we
also
know
if
you,
if
you
don't
do
things
exactly
in
the
right
manner,
to
undo
something
it
it
ends
up.
You
end
up
having
to
redo
and
revisit
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
it's
in
any
way.
A
deceit
to
you,
I
just
think
it's
a
matter
of.
We
want
to
make
sure
when
we
do
it,
we
do
it
right
and
I
do
think
it'll
be
sooner
rather
than
later.
L
Evening,
my
name
is
Kelly
Cornelius,
160,
Lynn,
Drive
I
agree
with
Debbie's
comments.
I
think
it's
gone
on
way
too
long,
I
hope
when
it
comes
back.
It's
to
dissolve
the
amdc
I
wrote
to
Mr
Dennis
I
believe
in
Code
Enforcement
with
concerns
in
the
condition
of
the
hotel.
I
have
yet
to
hear
back
from
him.
But
if
you
look
on
the
property
records,
that
amdc
is
the
owner
of
those
properties
as
well
as
the
Williamsburg
property.
L
L
That
we
can't
even
call
the
Reverend
to
give
us
a
prayer
for
the
last
rights
of
this
thing.
He
resigned
so
I
hope
that
you
guys
will
vote
to
dissolve
move
the
properties
in
the
in
the
city
where
you
would
have
direct
control
over
them,
because
this
is
It's
a
nightmare
where
you
position
that
you've
put
everybody
in
and
moving
forward
if
they
were
already
under
the
control
of
the
city,
you
wouldn't
have
this
and
I
think
the
amdc
has
has
been
a
huge
black
eye
on
the
city
and
it's
divided.
L
M
Howdy,
my
name
is
Tori
mcquinn
I
live
at
1033,
Hayne
Avenue
Southwest.
Well,
this
wasn't
what
I
was
going
to
talk
about,
but
what
the
last
two
speakers
mentioned
is
very
important.
I.
Think
all
of
a
lot
of
us
here
we're
here
to
hear
about
the
future
of
the
amdc.
So
we
really
are
looking
forward
to
getting
answers
to
that
soon,
hopefully,
maybe
by
the
next
one,
we
can
get
something-
or
at
least
some
statement
before
the
next
meeting
about
the
plans
of
the
MDC
all
right.

the

Annex
29.82
Acres
on
Greg
Highway
Northwest
and
University
Lane
done
at
planned
residential
PR
in
approval
of
a
concept
plan
by
title
and
ordinance
Annex
to
the
corporate
limits
of
the
city
of
Aitkin,
certain
property
located
at
the
intersection
of
Greg
Highway,
Northwest
and
University
Lane,
and
is
on
the
same
planned
residential
PR
and
approved
the
proposed
concept
plan.
Is
there
a
motion
so
moved
all
right?
Thank
you,
councilman
Jared,
o!
Is
there
a
second.
E
The
applicant
has
requested
annexation
of
29.82
Acres,
located
on
gregston
University
Lane
zoning
as
planned
residential
PR
and
approval
of
a
concept
plan.
The
proposed
concept
plan
is
for
a
336
unit.
Multi-Family
development,
the
unincorporated
tract,
was
previously
plotted
as
another
phase
of
the
University
State's
residential
subdivision.
E
Until
a
combination
plot
was
recorded
earlier
this
year
on,
October
23
2006
Council
adopted
a
policy
requiring
the
development
of
larger
tracks
of
land,
requesting
City
utility
services
and
proposed
to
be
used
for
residential
purposes
to
be
annexed
and
required
to
comply
with
the
planned
residential
zoning
for
any
development
in
the
pr
Zone.
A
concept
plan
must
be
approved
by
the
Planning
Commission
and
approved
by
city
council.
As
noted
in
the
zoning
ordinance,
Council
has
complete
discretion
over
the
concept
plan.
E
The
comprehensive
plan
designates
the
subject:
property
for
residential
use,
City,
Water
and
Sewer
are
available
to
the
site
and
the
property
has
Road
access.
The
property
is
currently
undeveloped
with
extensive
tree
cover.
The
proposed
development
consists
of
336
unit
multi-family
development
with
14
residential
buildings,
with
a
mixture
of
one
two
and
three
bedroom
floor
plans.
Amenities
will
include
a
clubhouse
with
Fitness
Recreation
and
co-working
space
and
outdoor
grilling
and
eating
area,
a
pool
and
Lounge
area
and
a
dog
park.
The
community
will
also
have
sidewalks
a
leasing
office
and
a
covered
mail
kiosk.
E
E
The
concept
plan
allows
shows
two
entrances
to
the
development
one
on
Greg
Highway
and
one
on
University
Lane.
Only
the
entrance
on
Greg
highway
is
shown
with
a
divided
planted
median.
Both
entrances
should
have
a
divided
landscape
median,
as
required
by
the
Land
Development
regulations.
Also,
there
is
a
landlocked
parcel
from
the
previously
plotted
subdivision
and
access
easement
should
be
provided
for
the
landlocked
landlocked
parcel.
The
concept
plan
shows
517
parking
spaces,
which
is
13
more
than
required.
E
A
traffic
study
has
been
submitted
to
scdot
and
the
traffic
consultant
for
the
city
of
Aitkin
to
review

and

voted
unanimously

zoned

approval
of
the

with
the
following
conditions
that

requirements
of
the

no
more

and
approve
the

with
the
conditions
recommended
by
Planning
Commission.
A
Q
O
H
H
H
So
did
somebody
explain
why
the
developer
is
being
asked
to
put
in
50
additional
parking
spaces
at
the
expense
of
open
space,
which
will
cost
a
developer
more
and
create
even
more
of
a
potential
storm
water
issue,
because
this
is
pretty
steep
ground
relative
to
the
rest
of
Aitkin.
This
isn't
flat
ground.
Some
of
the
slopes
are
over
40
percent
short
40,
but
still
over
40
percent.
H
You
can
have
a
lot
of
runoff
here
and
some
of
the
people
in
that
University
Lane
is
called
right.
Next
to
it
have
had
his
runoff
problems
in
the
past,
not
from
this
site.
That's
going
to
be
developed,
but
just
on
the
general
area,
so
I'm
just
curious.
Why
is
that
condition
being
added
when
the
developers
come
forth
and
this
is
a
developer
who
has
actually
done
their
traffic
study
ahead
of
time?
H
R
Can
yeah
I?
Can
the
discussion
was
between
and
also
the
developer
was
involved
in
this,
that
our
parking
requirements
are
really
based
upon
people?
Assuming
people
have
two
cars,
and
most
people
have
more
than
two
cars,
and
invariably
people
end
up
parking
in
the
right
of
way,
and
then
it
becomes
a
public
safety
hazard.
H
G
R
Typically
and
I
will
tell
you
this.
The
the
survey
plant
was
actually
record
stamped.
The
combined
combination
plant
was
stamped
by
the
county
because
keep
in
mind
this
is
in
the
county.
Typically,
the
county
would
require
a
deed
of
easement.
If
there's
a
landlocked
parcel
created.
That
did
not
happen.
We're
just
trying
to
remedy
that.
A
A
Moving
down
new
business
to
item
number
two:
this
is
the
first
ring
of
an
ordinance
to
Annex
4.48
Acres
Zone
33.22
Acres
on
Powder
House
Road,
as
planned
residential
PR,
and
approve
a
concept
plan
by
title
and
ordinance
Annex
to
the
corporate
limits
of
the
city
of
Aitkin,
certain
properties
located
on
Powder
House
Road
and
is
on
the
same
planned
residential
PR
and
approve
the
proposed
concept
plan.
Is
there
a
motion
so.
A
E
The
applicant
and
owner
has
requested
annexation
and
concept
plan
approval
for
three
Parcels,
all
fronting
powder,
House
Road,
to
develop
a
nine
lot.
Single-Family
residential
development
with
equine
amenities,
the
largest
tract,
is
inside
City
Limits
and
has
planned
residential
zoning.
The
same
zoning
is
proposed
for
the
two
smaller
parcels.
E
All
three
Parcels
are
currently
undeveloped.
The
two
smaller
parcels
and
half
of
the
largest
parcel
have
the
minimum
of
tree
coverage,
while
the
other
half
of
the
largest
parcel
has
full
tree
coverage.
The
concept
plan
shows
an
existing
storm
water
storm
sewer,
pipe
running
north
to
south
through
the
middle
of
the
largest

City

and
sanitary
sewer
lines
are
in
the
powder
House
Road
right-of-way
and
along
the
southern
boundary
of
the
subject
property.
E
The
developer
is
proposing
a
nine
lot
single-family
residential
development
with
equine
amenities.
The
building
materials
include
brick
Hardy,
plank
wood,
stucco
and
stone.
The
maximum
proposed
Building
height
is
35
feet,
which
is
the
maximum
allowed
by
the
code
for
Planned
residential
single-family
residential
development.
E
The
submitted
concept
plan
provides
an
example
of
a
typical
law
development
with
a
single-family
residence,
stable,
riding
ring,
paddocks
and
other
equine
facilities.
The
concept
plan
depicts
20-foot
wide
riding
trails
along
the
proposed
new
Street
and
the
perimeter
subdivision
boundaries.
The
planned
residential
zoning
requires
at
least
20
percent
open
space
for
the
detached
single-family
developments.
E
City
council
may
vary
the
standard
to
allow
for
Creative
Design
the
concept
plan
to
know
it's
only
6.62
open
space.
However,
due
to
the
character
due
to
the
nature
of
the
of
the
equestrian
development,
each
law
will
have
a
primary
open
space
character.
The
concept
plan
shows
one
entrance
to
the
development
on
Powder
House
Road.
The
regulations
require
that
the
entrance
should
have
divided
planted
entrance
median.
An
encroachment
permit
will
be
required
from
the
scdot
sidewalks

required
along

The

E
P
I
can
go
into
a
lot
of
detail
here,
a
plan
to
keep
it
brief.
If
you'll
look
at
the
the
map
that
we
have
here,
just
to
give
you
a
little
more
description
of
the
plan,
the
two
Parcels
up
front
are
currently
in
the
county
Zone
office,
residential.
Those
are
approximately
4.4
Acres.
A
large
parcel
28
Acres
approximately
is
in
the
city.
Now
it
is
Zone
plan
residential
I,
don't
have
a
copy
and
could
not
get
a
copy
of
the
approved
plan
residential
plan,
but
I
understand
it
contains
approximately
a
hundred
Lots.
P
P
F
P
There
is
water
and
sewer
on
Powder
House
Road,
there's
available
sewer
along
the
southern
property
line.
There
is
a
significant
City
storm
drain,
pipe
that
runs
from
north
to
south
through
the
property
that's
available
for
connection
after
we
do
all
our
appropriate
storm
drain
calculations
and
and
improvements
related
to
that.
P
That
is
a
typical
developed
lot
planned
residential
requires
20,
open
space
plan,
residentials,
typically
geared
toward
a
dense
development
that
has
open
space
concentrated
into
smaller
areas.
In
this
case,
each
of
these
Lots
would
have
approximately
85
percent
open
space
By
Nature.
So
that's
that's
why
we
think
this
is
a
good
plan
related
to
open
space
lot.
P
One
is
a
five
acre
lot
and,
as
you
would
note
in
the
description,
it
was
to
be
excluded
from
the
condition
of
equestrian
and
residential
development,
so
that
potentially
some
development
there
would
be
related
to
or
could
enhance
the
operations
that
they
can
horsepark.
Certainly
not
commercial
planned
residential
only
allows
five
percent
of
the
total
area
to
be
commercial
development,
and
that's
not
much
1.7
Acres.
Something
like
that.
So
that's
not
the
plan
for
commercial
development.
It.
O
P
S
Okay,
what
we
have
planned
to
do
around
the
community
is
a
bridal
path,
which
I
think
is
a
great
thing
for
the
horses
and
for
the
horse.
People
we
do
plan
to
do
a
residence
above
the
the
stable
and
it's
going
to
be.
We
don't
roughly
square
footage,
I
would
say
2
800
square
feet.
We
also
have
plans
Below
on
the
first
level,
groom's
quarters
two
separate
locations
for
that.
The
riding
arena
is
roughly
going
to
be
a
hundred
by
200
feet,
possibly
bigger.
S
We
will
have
storage
and
we
will
have
the
manure
area
in
the
back
of
the
of
the
property.
So
each
property
is
going
to
have
its
own
entity
of
ability
to
ride
train
stable
the
horses.
There
will
be
no
Community
ring
on
this
property,
it'll
be
individual,
so
it's
going
to
be
high
end
and
beautiful
and
we're
excited
about
it.
S
P
T
Now
130
years
later,
Aiken
continues
to
draw
enthusiasts
from
across
the
country,
whether
it
be
the
Pacers,
the
racers,
the
hunter
jumpers
or
Fox
Chasers,
the
polo
ponies
and
carriage
drivers,
and,
of
course,
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
the
dressage
horses
Aiken
invites
all
of
us
to
call
this
wonderful
town
home
when
I
asked
my
friends
and
family
recently.
What
one
word
comes
to
their
mind
when
they
think
of
Aiken
the
most
shared
were
beautiful,
peaceful,
Charming,
diverse,
Community,
safe
and
simply
home.
T
This
proposed
new
equestrian
project
on
Powder,
House,
Road
I,
believe,
will
continue
to
enrich
that
very
fabric
we
all
are
a
part
of
and
that
we
all
cherish
complementing
the
ever-increasing
popularity
of
the
equestrian
competitions
at
Bruce's
field
as
well.
The
project
will
add
to
the
economic
strength
and
viability
for
decades
to
come.
Most
importantly,
the
project
enhances
and
builds
on
a
vision
that
started
130
years
ago,
inviting
people
passionate
about
horses
and
life
and
Community
to
come
and
share
in
this
bright
shining
star
that
we
call
Aiken
that
we
call
home.
U
U
U
V
V
Autonium
took
those
trees
down
for
some
reason
and
it
in
the
evenings
when
they
drop
those
dock
plates.
It
sounds
like
a
stick
of
dynamite
going
off,
so
if
we
could
leave
those
trees
there,
that
would
be
great
and
also
I,
think
the
people
and
the
properties
that
own
those
properties
would
appreciate
that
sound
break.
So
that's
the
request
that
I
have
okay.
P
P
And
I
believe
that
those
trees
are
actually
on
their
side
of
the
property
line.
There's
a
20-foot
sewer
easement
that
exists
along
a
portion
of
this
area
here
that
that
obviously
is
open,
and
the
city
has
asked
us
to
provide
a
15-foot
access,
easement
here
and
I'm,
not
sure
whether
trees
are
would
be
taken
down
that
for
that
or
not,
but
I
think
the
majority
of
those
trees
are
over
on
this
side.
S
I
had
a
conversation
conversation
with
the
county
with
Joel
Duke
many
many
months
ago
that
he
explained
because
I
asked
the
same
question
as
to
what
was
going
on
and
and
is
there
an
ability
to
have
a
better
buffer
at
the
end
of
that,
and
his
answer
was
they
have
been
cited
and
they
have
been
told
and
we
have
to
push
it
so
they
meaning
odinium,
is
supposed
to
do
a
landscape
along
that
part.
What
is
there
is
natural
right.
K
S
V
A
V
I
have
a
question
about
the
fencing.
Is
the
fencing
going
to
be
on
the
property
line
or
because
what
I'm
concerned
about
is
the
property
line
between
our
homes
and
this
property?
There
is
a
power
line
and
the
power
company
needs
access
to
that.
So
is
there
an
easement
that
the
power
company
can
get
through
or
are
the
trucks
going
to
be
driving
through
our
properties?
To
get
to
it,
question.
P
They
along
the
perimeter
along
the
property
line.
Also
another
fence
is
planned
to
be
20
feet
inside
that
to
protect
the
Riding
Trail,
so
that
a
horse
doesn't
bolt
off
the
property
or
onto
someone
else's
property.
Certainly,
the
power
company
typically
has
a
20-foot
easement
on
a
power
line
that
can't
be
encumbered,
and
sometimes
we
work
with
the
power
company
so
that
our
fences
aren't
under
the
actual
arms
of
the
of
the
poles,
so
we'll
certainly
have
to
accommodate
I
think
it
must
be
Dominion
there.
P
V
P
V
P
Well,
deed
restrictions
are
a
little
bit
harder
to
change
than
a
zoning
issue.
They
tend
to
go
with
the
property
perpetually
and
they're
hard
to
get
rid
of.
So
it
is
his
request
that
all
of
the
others
all
of
these
other
Lots
they
could
have
that
need
restriction,
but
for
the
time
being,
that
deed
restricts.
He
requested
that
deed
restriction
not
be
placed
it's
still
under
the
planned
residential
zoning.
P
V
N
My
name
is
John
Kelly
I
live
at
622,
Douglas
Drive
I'm,
a
neighbor
of
Bob
here
we're
in
favor
of
this
it's
a
wonderful
project.
Our
major
concern
is
that
I'm
kind
of
looking
out
for
the
person
who
ends
up
buying
lot
five,
because
right
now,
lot
5
backs
up
to
six
properties
and
those
six
properties
are
hodgepodge
of
fences.
N
You
have
a
six
foot
fence,
no
fence
a
shed,
a
shed
a
four
foot
fence,
no
fence,
so
we're
we're
just
like
to
make
a
suggestion
that
instead
of
a
a
three
rail
post
fence
that
they
put
in
a
six
foot,
privacy
fence,
I
think
that
would
work
out
much
better,
particularly
for
that
person
who's
going
to
end
up
buying
lot.
Five
they'll
they'll
look
at
one
solid
fence
instead
of
a
hodgepodge
of
fences.
So
it's
just
a
recommendation
that
you
know
I
think
I
think
would
look
nicer
than
this.

aware
of
this
appeal,
but
has
asked
that
this
move
forward
so
that,
in
the
event
of
the
circuit
court
and
other
courts
May
rule
in
the
city's
favor,
this
agreement
has
already
been
addressed
to
avoid
any
other
delays
for
the
project
for
Council.
Consideration
is
at
first
reading
in
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
or
authorizing
the
city
of
Aitkin
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
Properties
Incorporated.
All.
X

Despite
this,
the
developers
proposing
the
use
of
Aiken
Public
Safety
land
for
his
convenience
and
at
the
potential
cost
of
Public
Safety.
Secondly,
the
addition
of
a
traffic
light
at
pascalis
Place
creates
a
new
hazard.
The
vehicles
leaving
the
fire
station,
a
steady
stream
of
shopping
center
customers
entering
and
leaving
the
center
significantly
increases
the
risk
of
an
accident
between
an
emergency
vehicle
and
a
civilian
vehicle.
X
X
Fourth
and
finally,
the
very
existence
of
the
shopping
center
is
the
subject
of
ongoing
litigation.
It
would
be
wiser
to
wait
for
both
the
required
traffic
study
and
the
litigation
decision
to
be
completed.
Nothing
is
accomplished
by
passing
the
proposed
ordinance
now
other
than
for
the
convenience
of
the
developer,
so.
Y
I
Y
I'm
Doris
reuter
at
616,
Hampton
Avenue.
What
I'm
I
hear
a
lot
of
building
this
going
to
be
proposed?
Building
that's
going
to
be
coming
sites,
that's
going
to
be
coming
for
South
Carolina
and
it's
mostly
on
the
south
side.
Again,
it's
mostly
on
Silver
Bluff
and
it's
mostly
over
here
on
Powerhouse
Road,
all
on
the
south
side,
which
is
heavily
congested
all
the
time
with
the
traffic
and
everything.
Y
So
what
are
the
future
plans
for
the
north
side
of
Aitkin,
because
you
have
number
one
out
there
with
nothing
out
there,
which
could
be
a
great
shopping
area
with
the
Lowe's
and
restaurants
and
everything.
So
what
are
the
plans?
The
future
plans
for
Aiken
as
far
as
the
south
side,
because
I'm
still
as
far
as
the
north
side,
because
the
north
side
is
not
being
developed,
it's
just
sitting
there
and
everything
that
we
have
to
travel
for,
and
I've
heard
before
that
became
the
developers
came,
they
looked
at.
Y
You
know,
see
how
much
traffic
was
going
for
the
north
side
and
things
like
that.
But
if
my
car
has
to
move
all
the
time
to
the
south
side,
for
everything
for
restaurants,
for
fine
restaurants
and
everything,
wouldn't
they
see
more
traffic
I
mean
some
things
have
to
be
put
on
the
south
side
too,
because
we
keep
building
we're
going
to
be
building
on
top
of
each
other
and
if
I
want
to
go
to
a
nice
grocery
store
or
a
nice
restaurant
or
if
I
want
to
go
to
the
to
walk.
Y
Y
A
Thank
you,
I
know
you,
you
follow
and
attend
our
meetings.
Quite
often
so
I
know
you've
brought
up
several
of
those
concerns
before
and
as
we've
expressed
on
the
North
side
in
particular
and
I
know,
Miss
price
can
even
address
it.
Probably
better,
but
I
mean
how
many
developments
of
the
last
ones
we
we've
done.
Rooftops
houses
coming.
Q
A
Nice
developments
that
are
all
on
the
north
side,
they'll
follow
the
rooftops.
They'll
follow
the
rooftops
and
you
know
and
listen
you.
You
know.
You
know
this
obviously
Miss
Ray,
but
when
somebody
comes
to
Aiken,
it's
not
like
hey
I
want
to
build
a
Lowe's.
Where
do
you
want
us
to
build
at?
Nobody
calls
me
up
asking
that
if
they
did
I'd
say
hey,
let's
go
over
here
to
the
north
side.
You
know
you're
right,
Miss
Ritter
needs
a
place
to
shop
that
that's
not
how
people
don't
contacted
us
asking
where
they
can
go.
O
You
heard
a
bill
here
earlier
who
is
developing
336
units
on
the
north
side,
that
should
you
should
see
that
within
a
two-year
period,
I
would
imagine
across
from
making
high
on
Rutland
Drive,
there's
300
and
some
odd
units
being
built
there
near
the
in
the
back
of
the
Aiken
Standard.
It
approaches
Highway
19
those
units
are
are
taking
place
there.
There
are
units
taking
place
on
Highway
19
that
yes,
ma'am.
O
O
And
the
mayor
is
correct:
we
followed
this
over
the
years
if
you
don't
have
development
the
stores,
whatever
businesses
there
is
normally
follow
that
development.
We-
and
you
know
this
and
I
know
this.
We've
seen
very
little
and
it's
coming.
It's
coming
on
number
one.
It's
coming
on,
Rutland
Drive
there
are
Grand
Oaks
is
increasing
in
their
numbers,
with
housing
right
across
next
door
to
the
county.
O
Building
more
units
are
coming
there
and
you're
going
to
see
that
pattern,
as
it
goes
all
the
way
around
to
usca
in
terms
of
growth
and
development,
then
you
will
see
more
businesses
come
on
that
side
of
town,
restaurants,
hotels,
those
kinds
of
things,
I
approached
a
hotel
owner
about
building
a
facility,
and
you
know
what
he
said
to
me.
He
said
you
want
me
to
build
the
whole
case.
O
A
Q
A
M
W
W
Spending
city
of
Aiken
resources
on
pressing
forward
with
these
activities
proposed
under
the
reference
ordinance
will
prove
wasteful
if
the
appeal
is
upheld,
it
also
may
be
interpreted
as
an
affront
to
the
Circuit
Court,
who
will
not
have
a
chance
to
make
their
ruling
I
urge
you
to
defeat
where
it's
a
table.
The
first
reading
of
the
referenced
ordinance
tonight
responding
to
the
developers
impatience,
should
not
be
council's
highest
priority,
engaging
the
affected
parties
in
a
meaningful
way,
incorporating
the
results
of
the
traffic
study
and
conducting
a
comprehensive
evaluation.
Z
Z
Z
Z
To
avoid
traffic
on
an
already
congested,
Silver,
Bluff
Road,
because
when
we
had
the
work
done
on
Gilbert
block
Road
to
add
in
the
new
light
and
the
widening
of
the
road
traffic
was
constant
through
him,
like
almost
to
the
point
where
you
couldn't
get
through
your
own
neighborhood,
and
that
is
my
point
for
tonight.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
AA
Good
evening
my
name
is
Brad
shell,
it's
nice
to
be
back
in
Aitkin,
hope
everyone
had
a
great
Christmas
and
New
Year
I.
Don't
have
it
really
too
much
to
add
to
what
has
been
already
I
guess
explained,
but
I
did
want
to
I
guess
offer
a
few
points
of
clarification
about
the
location
of
where
the
traffic
light
is
specifically
located.
AA
It's
located
to
line
up
directly
with
pascalis,
because
pascalis
is
not
exactly
lining
up
with
the
sort
of
two
accesses
on
the
fire
station
right
now,
so
this
widens
that
a
little
bit
allows
the
fire
station
to
have
total
control
over
that
light
over
the
entire
intersection.
Actually,
so
they
can
stop
traffic
in
all
four
ways
to
get
out
right
now.
AA
They
I
believe
they
have
a
tough
time
making
a
left-hand
turn
out
of
their
at
busy
hours,
and
this
will
certainly
enable
them
to
control
traffic
there
and
I
I
guess
the
other
thing
I
would
say
too.
Is
you
know
the
way
the
agreement
works
is
if
you
know,
for
whatever
reason,
the
development
does
not
go
forward
because
of
legal
matters,
this
extinguishes
anyways.
So
it's
just.
A
B
H
B
H
Developer
wasn't
coming:
what
would
you
be
doing?
What
would
be
the
solution,
then
for
the
traffic
on
Silver
Bluff
Road?
Would
you
care
to
answer
that
and-
and
the
second
question
I
had
is:
why
wasn't
this
presented
when
you
did
everything
else
with
this
project?
Why
wasn't
it
all
just
lumped
together?
Why
are
you
breaking
it
apart,
like
this
sure.
A
A
A
J
P
A
I
mean
our
zoning
is,
is
based
off
of
our
master
plan
of
what's
allowed
and
it
is
specific
to
a
type
of
commercial
me
personally,
just
philosophically
I'm
I
feel
uncomfortable,
saying
I'm
going
to
pick
winners
and
losers
is
who
goes
into
that
that
spot.
So
we
may
not
want
another
car
wash
here.
Well,
if
it's,
if
it's
zoned
in
that
property
and
allowed
just
this,
is
Rick
Osmond
speaking.
J
J
J
It's
going
to
stop
it!
It's
not
how
that's
nobody's
interest.
We
had
a
good
start
with
Silver
Bluff
grocery
store
in
terms
of
beginning
to
get
some
feedback
to
a
developer.
Before
we
went
ahead,
that's
how
it
should
always
be
so
I'm
just
saying:
aren't
we
in
a
position
now,
with
the
amount
of
development
that
you're
doing
and
and
projected
demographic
growth,
to
begin
to
push
back
and
be
more
selective,
also
more
selective
in
the
way
in
the
in
our
Aesthetics,
the
the
building
designs?
J
Y
A
O
A
K
A
From
the
agenda,
we
moved
down
to
item
number
five
on
the
agenda,
petitions
and
requests.
This
is
an
approval
of
resolution
to
accept
a
deed
of
dedication
for
streets
of
water
and
sanitary
sewer
lines
and
easements
in
the

by
title
of
resolution
authorizing
the
acceptance
of
two
Deeds
of
dedication
from
The
Village
at
Dupont,
Landing
LLC.
Is
there
a
motion
all
right?
Thank
you,
councilwoman
Diggs!
Is
there
a
second?
Second
all
right?
Thank
you.
Mr
jaredo
comments
from
staff
The.
E
Village
at
Duke,
Landing
of
Aiken
LLC
owner,
has
requested
that
the
city
accept
a
deed
of
dedication
for
the
streets
and
indeed
for
the
water
and
sanitary
sewer
systems
and
related
equipment
and
easements
and
The
Village
at
Dupont
Landing.
Our
engineering
staff
has
reviewed
this
request
and
has
recommended
that
the
city
accept
the
Deeds
of
dedication
for
the
streets
and
Utility
Systems
in
the
village
at
Dupont.
G
And
of
course
there
are
two
other
entryways,
but
the
majority
of
it
is
coming
through
our
health
center,
so
our
employees
have
to
go
to
the
back
to
park
and
sometimes
they
come
through
and
they
are
flying
so
for
the
safety
of
everyone
with
children
walk
through
there
from
school
and
so
forth,
and
a
lot
of
patients
walk
to
the
Health
Center.
Yes,
we
get
some
speed
bumps.

A
A
Item
under
number
two
under
petitions
and
requests-
this
is
a
Resolute
resolution
authorizing
the
Sea
of
Aiken
to
enter
into
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
Aiken
powder
House
LLC
by
title
of
resolution
authorizing
the
CFA
can
enter
into
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
Aiken
powder
House
LLC.
Is
there
a
motion
so.
D
A
E
Passed
an
ordinance
in
June
2022,
which
annexed
and
approved
a
concept
plan
for
property
located
near
the
intersection
of
Whiskey
Road
and
powder
House
Road.
The
project
will
be
a
mixed
use
of
commercial
and
residential
uses
with
the
anchor
development
to
be
a
Lowe's
Foods.
The
project
will
require
a
deceleration
Lane
where
powder
House
Road
terminates
at
Whiskey
Road.
We
have
had
several
meetings
with
the
developer
and
have
agreed
that
a
cost-sharing
Arrangement
is
appropriate.
This
will
be
the
second
phase
of
improvements
at
this
intersection.
E
As
you
remember,
the
city
paid
to
install
a
three-phase
signal
at
the
intersection
between
Whiskey
Road,
Stratford,
Drive
and
powderhouse
road
over
a
year
ago.
The
mou
calls
for
the
developer
to
pay
for
design
work,
which
is
estimated
to
be
around
85
000
with
the
city
paying
for
the
construction
of
the
deceleration
Lane,
which
is
estimated
to
be
about
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
Council
consideration
is

in

information.
Please
raise
your
hand,
okay
and
that's

Thank
you
all
right.
We
moved
down
to
the
non-agenda
items
from
the
public
sections
second
section
of
our
agenda
on
that,
so
each
speaker
will
have
three
minutes
to
address
Council
about
issues
that
they
wish
to
speak
about.
So
I'll
open
the
floor
to
the
audience.
Y
A
A
Y
A
K
I,
don't
have
a
direct
number,
but
just
talking
about
the
north
side
over
the
last
three
to
four
years.
Several
years
ago,
this
Council
worked
with
the
federal
government
to
have
that
selected,
which
was
not
an
easy
process
as
an
opportunity
Zone,
which
provides
business
investors
federal
tax
benefits.
K
It's
been
successful
in
in
some
areas,
but
we
have
not
garnered
any
commercial
development,
as
you
point
out,
but
through
that
process
we
did
a
prospectus
for
investors
to
come
into
the
area
and
we
spent
about
nine
months
interviewing
Property
Owners,
with
the
properties
that
they
had
trying
to
match
them
with
potential
investors
to
build
grocery
stores,
hotels
and
other
things.
We
have
that
document
and
I'd
like
for
you
to
have
my
card
I'd
like
to
sit
down
with
you.
We
do
have
that
prospectus.
That
shows
all
of
the
benefits
of
the
north
side.
K
What
we
saw
when
we
worked
through
that
project
is,
were
we
doing
what
we
need
to
do
to
prepare
the
ground
in
our
garden?
If
you
call
the
north
side
for
growth
and
what
we
have
done
is
over
the
last
three
years,
we've
spent
several
million
dollars,
making
sure
that
we
have
water
and
sewer.
That
runs
all
the
way
out
to
one
we
board
under
the
interstate
and
we've
got
a
great
deal
of
Interest
right
now.
K
We
can
ask
them
which
we
did
with
the
prospectus,
but
they
make
the
decision
based
on
their
business
case,
but
what
they
tell
me
is
as
soon
as
all
those
people
move
in
those
are
customers
and
customers
mean
money
to
them
and
that's
when
they're
going
to
build
those
grocery
stores.
I
think
we're
getting
very
close
to
that.
But
I'd
love
to
sit
with
you
and
meet
with
you
and
go
over
all
the
things
that
we
have
done
over
the
last
three
years
to
make
sure
we're
ready
for
that.
