C
A
A
Okay
item
two
old
business:
there
is
no
old
business,
so
we'll
move
into
the
new
business
item.
Three.
This
will
be
application.
A
this
is
application
number
23-20010.
This
is
an
annexation
request
for
tax
parcel
number
089-12-11-005.
A
A
A
D
Good
evening
my
name
is
James
Dean
address
452
Ellis
Street
Augusta
Georgia,
as
you
can
see
on
the
screen
this.
This
development,
situated
on
a
shade
under
seven
acres,
has
three
apartment
buildings
consisting
of
74
units,
that's
one
and
two
bedroom
units
and
then
a
small
leasing
office,
and
we
are
asking
the
city
to
consider
extending
the
water
and
sanitary
sewer
services
to
this
development.
A
Any
questions
from
the
panel
from
the
Commissioners
for
okay
tell
everybody
to
speak
in
opposition
of
this
application.
A
A
E
A
A
After
the
meeting
tonight
this
will
go
in
front
of
city
council.
So
if
you
have
further
questions
or
concerns,
you
know
you
can
certainly
attend
the
next
city
council
meeting,
which
this
will
be
brought
up.
Okay,
well
and.
F
I
might
just
add
just
add
as
well
since
this
is
in
the
county
and
we'll
have
to
go
through
their
review
process
as
well
and
I
believe
it
has
to
go
through
County.
Don't
hold
me
to
that,
but
I
believe
it
has
to
go
to
Aiken
County
Planning
Commission
as
well.
Okay,
so
yeah,
it
may
have
dual
reviews.
There's.
E
A
I
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
and
second
in
for
the
approval
of
this
application,
with
the
conditions
one
through
seven,
as
listed
discussion.
A
A
J
Okay,
I
doubt
it
will
take
that
long
sure
understood.
Thank
you.
Mr
chair
members
of
the
commission,
I'm
Daniel
Venezuela
I'm,
the
real
estate
development
manager
for
the
Drayton
Parker
companies
and
Parker's
kitchens
I'm
here
tonight,
with
our
civil
engineer
and
project
manager,
Cody
Rogers,
with
EMT
engineering,
Thomas
Matthews
with
Parker's
and
the
property
owner
Mr
Don,
or
the
real
estate
broker
working
with
us.
Don
trols
is
here
as
well.
We've
provided
you
with
renderings
I,
also
have
a
materials
board
here,
representing
what
the
end
product
will
be
once
it's
built.
J
If,
if
we're
able
to
get
the
rezoning
approved
and
site
plan
approval
subsequently
there
too
tonight's
proposal,
that's
before
you
is
for
a
site
plan
to
accommodate
our
standard,
convene,
store
and
fueling
Center,
consisting
of
a
structure.
That's
represents
about
5
100
square
feet
and
Associated
parking
with
a
single
line:
diesel
fuel
fuel
canopy
in
the
front
of
the
store
we're
proposing
to
have
access
out
onto
Whiskey,
Road
and
Stratford.
J
He
I
believe
you
discussed
this
during
your
work
session
as
well.
We
actually
met
with
the
residents
of
the
Stratford
Forest
HOA
last
week.
They
expressed
some
concerns
about
traffic,
we're
working
through
those
concerns.
We
actually
are
undertaking
a
traffic
impact
analysis
currently,
which
will
be
completed
very
soon.
J
Just
by
way
of
background,
forgive
me
I
know
we
have
one
site:
that's
currently
working
its
way
through
the
approval
process.
Already
we
were
here
last
year
to
get
that
property
annexed
and
rezoned
into
the
city.
That
property
is
at
Jeff,
Davis
and
Bell
Highway,
so
we're
working
on
that
site.
We
worked
with
staff
and
we
came
before
the
Planning
Commission
for
that
annexation
and
rezoning,
and
so
we're
here
now
with
another
site
we're
looking
forward
to
operating
here
in
the
city
of
Aitkin.
J
Just
by
way
of
background,
we
are
currently
operating
73
convenience
stores
in
Georgia
and
South
Carolina.
We
recently,
within
the
past
couple
of
years,
decided
to
expand
further
into
South,
Carolina,
north
and
west,
and
we're
also
expanding
down
into
the
Jacksonville
Florida
Market
at
this
time
as
well.
J
A
Okay,
do
I
have
anybody
here
to
speak
in
opposition
of
this
application
tonight.
K
Name
is
Mary
agresta
I
live
in
Ascot
Drive
in
springstone
section
and
very,
very,
very
opposed
to
this
convenience
store
slash
gas
station.
They
want
to
do
a
cut
through
on
Stratford,
which
is
a
one-way
Inn
and
a
one-way
out
for
all
of
the
residents,
and
it's
going
to
be
unbelievable
with
all
the
pumps
that
they
plan
on
doing
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
tractor
trailers
coming
in
and
out
we're
on.
We
are
going
to
be
suffocated
by
traffic
I.
K
Don't
care
how
much
you
do
a
traffic
survey
there's
no
way
to
know
unless
the
building
is
there
and
cars
are
going
in
and
out
and
trucks
are
going
in
and
out
that
you're
going
to
know
what
the
traffic's
going
to
be
like
there.
Two
tractor
trailers
would
take
up
almost
all
the
Stratford.
How
are
we
supposed
to
get
out
of
our
community?
It's
a
quiet
community!
K
It's
going
to
be
loud!
It's
going
to
be
open,
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week.
They
have
I
think
it's
eight
pumps.
Then
they
want
to
put
underground
tanks,
three
that
hold
20,
000
gallons
each
on
Stratford
as
well.
God
forbid:
there's
a
leak
we'll
never
get
out.
So
I
spoke
to
a
few
neighbors
they're
all
confused.
K
They
think
oh
okay,
A
little
noise,
a
little
smell
but
I,
don't
think
they're
really
aware
of
the
traffic,
the
congestion
and
with
all
the
stores
that
he
said
that
he
has
there's
no
reason
to
put
it.
There
is
no
reason
and,
like
I
said
you
know
the
traffic,
the
smell,
the
noise
open
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week.
They
already
took
down
a
lot
of
trees,
so
that
would
be
muffling.
It's
it's
not
and
Lynn.
K
A
L
Hi,
my
name
is
John
Melvin
m-e-l-v-I-n
I
live
at
136,
Antietam
Drive
in
Stratford,
Hall
subdivision
the
end
of
Stratford
Drive.
When
you
said
there
was
only
you
can
only
get
up
to
discuss.
One
issue
is
this
the
issue
or
is
there
individual
things
that
are
well?
That
might
come
up
about
this
situation?
That
I
can
talk
about.
L
Let
me
start
on
this.
First
part:
I
worked
out
at
Savannah,
River,
Site
Department
of
energy
oversight
for
the
tank
farms,
and
there
was
a
project
that
was
out
at
the
the
tank
Farms.
It
was
called
in
tank
processing.
Itp
ITP
was
a
study
in
organic
chemistry
which,
if
anybody
has
any
engineering
background,
is
a
it's
a
moving
Target
depending
on
what
the
environment
is.
So
we
ended
up
with
a
material
in
the
tanks
that
ended
up
generating
Benzene.
L
We
used
to
just
have
to
deal
with
hydrogen,
which
you
could
vent
and
you'd,
make
sure
that
you
know
you
met
the
NFPA
fire
protection
for
explosion.
Ben
seems
a
little
different,
a
little
heavier
compound
and
it's
a
carcinogen.
So
we've
we
had
to
set
up
industrial
hygiene
all
over
that
part
of
the
tank
farm
to
monitor
it.
It
had
to
be
put
under
a
a
an
inerting
blanket
and
control
very
closely.
L
So,
to
get
to
my
point
on
why
I
bring
that
up
is
I,
went
in
and
I
found
a
number
of
studies
and
documents
with
the
National
Institute
of
Health
and
the
CDC,
and
one
of
them
is
Benzene
exposure
for
the
carcinogens.
It
hits
the
the
the
blood
cell
creating
areas
leukemias,
Non-Hodgkin's
lymphomas,
and
so
what
what
they
finally
concluded
is
that
some
of
this
is
from
environmental
impacts
that
we
put
on
ourselves
within
our
own
communities.
L
Gas
stations
they've
got
venting
pipes,
they
stick
them
up
in
the
air,
but
the
benzene's
heavy,
so
there's
at
when
they,
when
that
floats
out
it'll
settle
you've
also
got
the
issues
of
whether
or
not
from
the
tank
leaks
in
in-ground
tanks.
You
have
groundwater
affected
by
the
Benzene,
and
we've
got
from
our
last
meetings.
We
had
for
the
development
of
Lulu's
the
people
living
over
on
Sizemore
Circle,
there's
they're
predominantly
on
well
water.
So
that
was
a
concern
to
them,
but
just
to
get
to
this
this
point
about
the
Benzene.
L
It's
it
may
sink
into
low-lying
areas.
It's
a
natural
part
of
gasoline,
it's
top
20
chemicals
and
production
by
volume.
L
So
so
the
air
around
your
gas
station
can
draw
high
levels
of
benzene
in
other
areas.
So
what
what's
happened
from
a
number
of
studies
is
that
they've
they've
recognized
that
you've
got
about
10
times
more
impact
than
they
previously
had
had
determined
from
the
operations
at
a
gas
station.
Some
of
them
are
when
you're
filling
your
tank,
but
when
the
tankers
come
in
to
fill
the
tanks
they
displace
the
the
the
air
volume
push
the
fumes
out,
the
top
the
Benzene
floats
out.
Our
subdivisions
are
down
gradient.
L
You
get
a
little
bit
of
a
temperature
aversion.
It's
naturally
going
to
settle
in
those
lower
areas.
I,
it's
the
other.
The
other
part
of
it
is
is,
is
looking
you
know
and
I
think
we
already
have
sensitivity
of
putting
gas
stations
near
residential
areas,
but
the
other
one
is
is
when
you
do
them
in
clusters.
L
A
L
L
A
M
Hi,
my
name
is
Nicole
Dre
I
live
at
119,
Antietam
drive
and
I'm.
Also
the
shotford
hall
HOA
president
I
have
some
great
concerns
about
this
I
work
at
the
site.
I'm
a
mechanical
engineer.
M
I've
had
many
a
discussion
with
Cody
about
this,
so
the
first
thing
being
from
the
site,
Safety
and
Security,
is
a
big
concern.
It's
ingrained
with
me
you're
welcome
so
this
light.
M
We
only
have
one
entrance
and
exit
coming
into
Stratford
for
the
villas
for
springstone
for
Stratford
Hall.
If
there's
any
kind
of
event,
whether
a
tanker
comes
down
an
accident,
an
explosion,
not
that
how
that
won't
happen,
but
anything
that
happens.
We
are
stuck
all
right.
We
cannot
get
out
so
I
know.
M
One
proposal
was
that
the
road
between
Stratford
and
Sizemore
would
be
connected
so
that
we
would
have
another
exit,
which
is
an
acceptable
option,
but
something
you're
going
to
need
to
think
about
eventually
you're
going
to
have
to
put
a
light
at
Sizemore
and
contrary
to
what
Cody
may
think
this
whole.
You
can't
put
a
light
there
too
many
lights
on
Whiskey.
That's
got
in
the
way
of
the
dodo
I'm.
Sorry,
if
you're,
if
this
place
is
going
to
grow,
the
city
of
Aitkin
is
going
to
grow.
You
have
to
think
about
the
infrastructure.
M
I
do
not
think
the
infrastructure
is
being
thought
about.
This
is
why,
because
we
have
a
Lulu's
now,
which
was
supposed
to
cut
into
size,
more
and
they're,
designed
to
do
something
shady
and
now
they're
only
going
to
build
part
of
the
road
and
then
connect
to
the
Parker's
kitchen
here,
instead
of
cutting
out
to
size
more,
we
have
that
third
lot.
Next
to
Lulu's.
We
have
that
really
big
lot
behind
those
three
lots.
We
have
the
senior
center
next
to
the
hotel,
which
my
understanding
is
they're.
Looking
now
I
could
be
wrong.
M
It's
going
to
turn
into
another
doubtery,
if
not
worse
and
again,
and
then
you're
going
to
have
the
tankers
coming
in
you're,
going
to
have
the
grocery
trucks
coming
in.
M
It's
just
going
to
be
a
death
trap,
and
so,
if
you're,
not
thinking
about
this
infrastructure,
you
really
do
need
to
because
it's
going
to
cost
a
ten
thousand
dollars
today,
but
it's
going
to
cost
a
million
dollars
tomorrow.
So
you
need
to
plan
today
for
that
infrastructure.
If
you're
going
to
put
this
stuff
in
there,
I've
seen
it
before
I'm
from
Pennsylvania,
they
did
it
before
now.
It's
costing
20
million,
if
not
more,
to
expand
the
highway
because
they
didn't
think
ahead.
M
So
I
do
have
a
question
you
can
answer
it
now
or
later
something
think
about
what
is
the
expected
growth
of
Inc
of
Aiken
in
the
next
five
years,
10
years,
15,
20.
I'm
sure
you
all
have
a
number
you.
This
infrastructure
needs
to
be
prepared,
so
if
they
are
going
to
because
I
know,
that
was
something
they
were
talking
about.
Connecting
Stratford
and
Sizemore.
M
A
light
at
Sizemore
should
be
considered
because,
again,
as
I
said,
if
it's
10
000
today,
it's
going
to
be
a
million
dollars
tomorrow
to
do
it
and
about
the
survey
I'd
like
to
know
how
many
times
a
week
they're
doing
the
survey
at
this
traffic
stop.
Have
they
considered
All
the
items
I've
mentioned
Parker's
kitchen
Lulu's
that
third
and
fourth
lot,
the
senior
center
Parker,
the
the
grocery
store
and
all
the
other
stuff
at
that
have
they
considered?
All
of
that,
you
can't
just
say
Parkers.
M
You
have
to
include
everything
and
anticipate
the
future.
What
is
going
to
be
at
these
other
Lots
and
the
other
time
is
what
time
of
days,
because
it's
one
thing
to
do
it
on
paper.
But
as
my
colleague
my
civil
engineer,
colleague
and
I
know,
what
looks
good
on
paper
is
not
necessarily
good
in
reality,
and
thank
you.
That's
all
I
have.
N
It's
Kelly
Cornelius,
my
address
is
160
Lynn
Drive,
which
is
right
off
of
Stratford,
which
is
adjacent
to
the
entire
parcel
and
I.
Think
Nicole
is
right
when
she
tells
you
you
have
to
look
at
this
as
an
entire
parcel
because
you
dropped
the
current
or
the
past.
Zoning
on
this,
which
included
restrictions
for
car,
washes
Lulu's,
24-hour
establishments
which
I'm
guessing
that
this
will
be.
N
But
I
haven't,
read
that
or
not
so
when
those
were
dropped,
when
Lulu's
was
approved,
that
was
done
as
an
entire
parcel,
so
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
everything.
That's
going
in
here,
not
just
this,
because
that's
the
way
you
changed
the
zoning
on
it
and
we
will
argue
that
that
zoning
was
still
in
existence
as
part
of
the
PC
zoning.
It
was
PC
with
conditions,
but
I
believe
you
and
the
city
council
were
led
to
believe
that
that
went
away
when
the
concept
plan
went
away.
N
So
that's
a
point
of
contention
I
think
most
people
thought
when
they
bought
in
there
that
those
conditions
would
be
upheld
and
that
they
wouldn't
have
things
like
this
in
their
backyards.
So
if
you
haven't
watched
those
meetings,
if
you
weren't
a
part
of
the
Planning
Commission,
then
if
you
weren't
paying
attention
to
city
council,
then
I
would
recommend
that
you
review
everything
that
the
citizens
brought
forth
during
those
meetings
before
Lulu's
was
approved.
So
that
being
said,
my
concerns
with
this
are
safety
concerns.
This
is
a
residential
Road.
N
It's
the
only
way
in
and
out,
as
other
people
have
explained,
to
you
environmental
concerns.
This
is
fuel.
What
Environmental
Studies
have
been
done,
what
traffic
Studies
have
been
done?
I,
don't
know
how
you
could
vote
on
this
with
the
information
that
we
were
provided
this
evening
and
then
my
next
question
is
I'm.
Looking
at
your
agenda
and
there's
an
agenda
for
a
work
session
when
I
looked
on
your
website,
it
said
that
there
was
a
six
o'clock
meeting
for
this.
There
was
nothing
on
your
website
that
said
a
work
session.
A
N
C
A
All
planning
commissions
have
work
sessions
at
five
o'clock.
The
public
is
welcome.
They're
welcome
to
attend,
there's,
no
decisions
that
are
made
in
that
work
session.
We
talk
about
the
application
at
hand.
We
want
to
understand
it
well,
and
then
we
come
in
here
at
a
public
hearing
for
everybody
to
have
due
process
to
speak
to
it.
A
Put
it's
not
a
public
input
session.
I
will
tell
you
that
the
work,
the
work
session
is
not
a
public
input
session.
Okay,
so
we
don't
take
comments
from
the
public.
There
you're
welcome
to
be
there
to
listen
to
what
we
to
what
we
discuss,
but
we
do
not
take
public
comment
during
the
work
session.
This
is
the
meeting
for
public
comment
which
you
were
speaking.
O
A
So
the
due
process
is
followed,
which,
which
is
what
the
city
ordinance
requires
us
to
do
all.
P
Hello,
my
name
is
Gene
Greenwald
and
I
live
at
160,
Lynn
Drive
also,
and
then
yes,
it's
in
my
backyard
and
that's
why
I'm
here
just
this
morning,
I
paid
my
city,
taxes
and
I
thought
boy,
maybe
I
better
go
to
the
meeting
tonight
to
speak
up
to
that.
To
know
how
I
feel
about
my
little
concept
and
yours
I
can't
believe
our
commissioners
would
approve
any
such
concept.
I
lived
in
a
beautiful
city
in
Sarasota
Florida
for
over
40
years
and
I
can
tell
you.
I
saw
what
the
developers
did
to
the
city.
P
It
was
beautiful
like
this
city
in
the
beginning
and
after
40
years
it
was
all
commercial.
It
was
all
about
money.
Yes,
let's
let's
build
this.
Let's
build
that.
Do
we
really
need
all
that
to
keep
our
city
as
unique
as
it
is?
I
agree
with
everybody.
That's
come
up
here
to
speak
tonight
and
I
hope
you
Commissioners
would
listen
to
them
and
take
some
of
our
advice.
So
thank
you
for
listening
and
thank
you
for
going
in
the
right
direction.
We
hope.
O
My
name
is
Bill
reichardt
and
I
live
on
steeple
Ridge
Road
133,
which
is
also
part
of
the
residential
areas
that
we're
talking
about.
I
did
not
come
tonight,
prepared
to
make
remarks,
but
had
I,
many
of
them
have
already
been
covered
and
we're
concerned
all
the
way
from
density
and
I.
Think
one
thing
that
has
not
been
mentioned
tonight
is
a
new
high
density
senior
housing
project.
That's
going
to
go
in
near
Holiday
Inn,
which
will
have
a
cut
onto
Stratford
Drive,
that's
another
350
approximate
units
with
commensurate
population
and
cars.
O
Also
in
some
of
these
subject,
areas
I
think,
there's
a
higher
rate
than
the
general
population
of
elderly
people.
A
lot
of
these
people
are
intending
as
my
wife
and
I
and
some
others.
This
is
where
we're
going
to
live
till
we
die,
and
some
of
us,
you
know,
have
considerations
that
cause
us
to
be
interested
in
the
equity
in
our
homes
and
not
see
it
go
away.
O
I
have
myself
with
some
help
from
some
neighbors
written
a
position
paper
on
this.
That
will
kind
of
summarize
a
lot
of
what
we've
been
talking
about
and
we'll
refine
it
with
our
colleagues
here,
but
we
feel
quite
strongly
that
pragmatic
information,
oh
and
incidentally,
there
was
a
major
traffic
accident
just
last
Friday
afternoon,
at
this
intersection
there
were
at
least
three
or
four
cars
badly
mangled
with
ambulances
and
tow
trucks
showing
up
so
anyway.
We
we
feel
this
would
be
a
disaster,
and
a
gas
station
is
not
needed
at
that
corner
at
all.
O
O
This
intersection
that
we're
talking
about
is
not
amenable
to
this
development.
The
one
up
at
the
parkway,
near
Sam's,
Club
and
so
forth
has
been
mentioned.
That's
far
more
Suited
to
a
Parker's
kitchen
than
our
area,
and
it
will
have
a
great
impact
on
our
quality
of
life,
but
we'll
get
back
to
you
later.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
Q
Me
hi
I'm,
Diane
Solstice,
it's
a
little
bit
130
steeple,
Ridge,
Road,
I,
read
done
a
lot
of
research
and
there's
an
awful
lot
of
things
that
happen
to
the
Environmental
that
cancer
causing
and
we've
had
several
cases
of
cancer.
It's
affected
people,
dogs,
animals,
and
these
are
things
that
need
to
be
taken
into
consideration.
Also,
the
people
who
live
in
the
Villas
of
an
evening
go
out
and
have
a
glass
of
wine,
a
glass
of
tea
watch,
their
bird
houses,
they're
bird
baths.
Q
Now
they're
going
to
be
looking
at
this
Parker's
kitchen.
It's
lit
up
and
I'm
sure
it's
a
nice
building,
I've
never
seen
one,
but
the
conception
there
and
they've
got
the
noise.
You've
got
the
Laughing.
You've
got
all
this.
This
is
their
home
and
it's
they
can't
sell
it
and
get
what
they
put
in
it
out.
I
mean
that's
been
I've,
seen
that
on
the
research
I've
done,
I've
also
seen
what
it
does
to
the
environmental.
It
goes
to
the
soil.
Q
It
goes
to
into
the
air
into
the
water
size,
more
Circle
they're
on
Wells,
and
if
some
of
you
could
just
research
that
I've
got
it
at
home,
it's
not
doing
me
any
good
here,
but
I
do
have
it
and
it's
important
that
these
things
be
taken
into
consideration.
I'm,
a
cancer
survivor
as
well
as
six
others
who
lived
in
our
neighborhood.
Q
We
had
a
dog
and
a
cat
to
die
with
cancer.
Okay,
the
cat
was
feral,
so
she
lived
here
for
two
years.
Our
dog
came
with
us
and
he
was
diagnosed
nine
months
before
I
was
there's
only
two
things
that
the
dog
and
I
did.
We
breathe
the
same
air
and
we
drink
the
same
water.
We
definitely
didn't
share
food,
maybe
a
snack
here
and
there,
but
you
know
other
than
that.
That's
about
it,
but
it
is
something
that
needs
to
be
taken
into
consideration.
We
have
small
children
living
there.
Q
A
R
I'm
Nancy,
Martin
and
I
live
at
112
sessions,
drive
and
I
happen
to
come
along
when
the
accident
happened
on
Friday
afternoon,
I
tried
to
get
in
my
subdivision.
Couldn't
even
get
in
there
was
an
ambulance
stopped
at
the
end
of
the
Stratford
Hall
already
turned
in
there.
No
police,
three
at
least
three
cars
right
there
that
the
ents
were
attended
to
some
of
them.
Traffic
was
backed
up.
Both
directions.
R
I
was
able
to
some
cars
were
able
to
go
toward
new
Ellington
I
turned
was
able
to
try
to
turn
into
Stratford
Drive,
but
where
the
ambulance
was
and
the
car
that
was
trying
to
come
out
even
with
the
wreck,
there
I
couldn't
get
the
right
angle
to
turn
to
go
in
so
here
I
am
halfway
out
in
the
lane
and
all
of
a
sudden
the
light
is
signal.
R
Changed
and
a
car
came
across
right
in
front
of
the
wreck
from
Powder
house
and
just
barreled
across
there
and
went
on
down
Stratford
Drive,
but
they
stopped
and
had
me
back
up
so
I'd
get
out
of
their
way.
So
people
go
crazy
when
this
kind
of
stuff
happens,
I
know
some
people
who
have
had
accidents
there,
but
at
the
same
time
you
might
find
this
interesting.
We
had
a
medical
emergency
in
Stratford
Hall,
one
of
the
residents
was
I'm
assuming
she
was
transported,
but
the
ambulance
was
called
for
her.
R
So
I,
don't
know
if
that
ambulance
was
hers
or
just
stopped
early,
but
there
were
no
police
when
I
was
there
and
I
did
get
to
finally
turn
in
when
the
lane
was
clear,
but
it
was
just
such
a.
It
was
a
mess,
and
that
was
just
it
was
late.
Well,
maybe
four
o'clock,
four
Thirty
somewhere,
okay
I
knew
it
was
about
that
time.
So
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
what
he
said,
because
it
upset
me
really
badly
to
after
I
found
out.
R
R
Yeah
I've
been
here
a
long
time,
late
90s,
my
husband
was
very
active
in
the
homeowners.
He
was
on
the
board
of
directors
and
all
that
he's
no
longer
with
us,
but
we
worked
hard
back
there
to
get
things
where
we
have
them.
So
please
keep
that
in
mind
for
all
of
us.
Thank.
O
S
Good
evening
my
name
is
Kathy:
Kent
I
live
at
237
sessions.
Drive
and
I've
listened
to
all
of
the
comments
so
far
and
I
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
them
because
I
think
they've
been
explained
very
well.
It
could
be
a
very
dangerous
situation
having
Parker's
at
that
corner
with
the
increased
traffic
and
so
forth,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
you
all
to
think
about
your
own
situation
and
how
you
would
feel
if
there
was
a
large
business
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week.
S
That
was
in
your
backyard
that
took
the
chance
of
more
accidents,
more
ambulances
not
being
able
to
get
into
your
neighborhood.
As
it's
been
stated
several
times,
there's
only
one
way
in
and
one
way
out
and
to
have
that
extra
traffic
we've
lived
with
with
Circle
K
across
the
street
and
any
morning
that
you
go
there.
Everything
is
full.
There
are
trucks
there
getting
their
morning,
coffee
filling
up
with
gas.
It
is
very
congested
and
we
really
don't
want
the
same
thing
for
Stratford
Drive.
A
T
My
name
is
Anthony
Augusta.
We
live
at
400,
Ascot
Drive
in
springstone
and
I,
like
the
person
before
me.
I'm,
also
not
going
to
repeat
all
the
other
comments
that
other
people
have
made.
I
don't
want
to
waste
your
time,
but
I
do
want
to
talk
about
two
other
issues
that
I
don't
I
haven't
heard
anybody
speak
about.
Yet
excuse
me
one
are
we
allowed
to
ask
questions
of
the
applicant
or
well.
T
Let
him
I'm
curious
what
their
daily
sales
volume
of
gasoline
is
anticipated
of
being
reason,
being
you
know,
a
tanker
holds
8,
500
gallons,
typically,
unless
they've
changed
that
in
the
many
years
since
I
worked
at
a
gas
station
and
I'm
trying
to
extrapolate
and
figure
out
how
many
tankers
a
day,
you
know,
a
traffic
study
is
fine
in
terms
of
cars,
but
I'm
curious
as
to
how
many
tankers
a
day
are
are
expected
to
go
in
and
out.
T
You
know
we
moved
here
about
two
and
a
half
years
ago
from
New
Jersey.
Looking
for
you
know,
a
a
small
town
feel
you
know,
and
maybe
it's
our
fault.
We
didn't
do
enough
research
and
and
kind
of
figure
out
how
much
Aiken
has
grown
over
time,
but
to
say
that
the
amount
of
growth
that
Aiken
has
gone
through
in
two
and
a
half
years
is
shocking.
That
would
be
an
understatement.
T
You
know
we
belong
to
a
program
run
by
Aiken,
Electric
Co-op
called
beat
the
heat
I
think
it's
called
where
you
get
a
text
message
when
they're
short
of
power
asking
you
to
conserve
now
between
the
lows
Foods
and
this
project,
and
possibly
the
senior
housing
behind
the
Holiday
Inn
we're
going
to
be
faced
with
frequent
blackouts.
They
can't
just
snap
their
fingers
and
say
Here's,
another
100
kilowatts,
you
know
I
mean
they
don't
have
the
infrastructure
to
provide
more
power,
you
know.
So
how
is
that
going
to
be
addressed?
E
L
I
didn't
know,
I
was
limited,
of
which
issue
I
thought.
It
was
my
first
issue,
but
this
is
John
Melvin
136,
Antietam,
Stratford
Hall,
subdivision
that
the
accident
they
were
talking
about
the
accident
Lee,
the
ambulance,
leaving
our
neighborhood
had
to
go
through
the
intersection
go
through
the
parking
lot
of
Circle
K
to
head
down
whiskey.
The
husband
followed,
the
ambulance
traffic
was
from
our
intersection,
all
the
way
to
back
to
Mitchell
shopping
center.
L
Just
to
give
you
a
sense,
we
talked
about
this
when
we
had
to
sit
down
with
the
with
Parkers
and
the
realtor
to
explain
just
how
bad
that
intersection
is.
This
is
on.
This
is
above
the
pale,
so
some
of
the
issues
that
I
I
would
like
to
to
address
with
you.
We've
got
the
two
and
a
half
that
Parker
wants
to
use.
L
There's
another
5.3
at
the
top
Lulu's
managed
to
split
that
property
up
into
two
two
and
a
halfs
and
a
5.3
which
I
believe
was
used
to
to
Sidetrack
the
storm
water.
This
last
rain
we
had,
which
was
almost
three
inches
of
water-
that
came
down
on
a
short
order,
flooded,
Lulu's
area
that
they're
working
on
if
they
pave
it
and
they
pave
Parker
that
5.3.
We
said
it
last
time
when
Lulu's
got
it
ought
to
be
retained
as
a
green
area
and
a
retention
Pond
and
the
gas
station.
L
If
you
guys
don't
respond
to
the
Benzene
issue,
you
surely
ought
to
be
looking
at
Dykes
in
in
that
on
the
retention
Pond
for
anything
that
might
happen
in
that
fueling
operation,
getting
more
fuel
trucks,
all
the
deliveries
for
them,
they're
going
to
have
the
same
type
of
industrial
loads,
going
through
their
gas
station
that
Circle
K
does.
We've
got
large
contractor
trailers
coming
through
over
there
it's
a
nightmare.
L
What
I
would
ask
you
guys
to
consider?
We
went
through
this
very
same
thing
way
back
in
2003
and
2012.
2003.
L
The
property
was
bought
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
Stratford
going
out
where
we
now
have
that
piece.
That's
going
up
for
Parkers
and
Lulu's
the
the
re,
the
property
developer,
Mr
Waters
went
and
had
it
zoned
for
single
family
adjoined
and
to
have
commercial
up
on
the
front
from
limited
professional
when
it
went
through
the
zoning
board,
the
planning
board
and
the
city
council.
L
There
was
no
attempt
to
try
to
sell
them
exactly
how
that
property
was
going
to
be
done
because
it
was
going
to
be
marketed.
He
didn't
plan
to
develop
it,
but
through
all
of
those
and
I
would
I
would
ask
you
to
please
go
back.
You
can
follow
the
the
the
track
back,
but
July
14,
2003,
City
Council,
put
six
restrictions
on
PC
for
being
butted
up
to
residential
and
those
six
included
no
gas
stations.
L
L
We
we
had
City
Council
Members,
they
weren't
even
representing
us,
came
to
planning
board
meetings,
zoning
board
meetings,
so
they
understood
by
the
time
it
got
to
them
what
it
meant
to
the
community
and-
and
we
had
advantage
in
a
Heartbeat
by
Fiat,
without
any
explanation
of
why
suddenly
restrictions
on
competing
zoning
would
have
evaporated
and
and
all
the
stuff
about
the
traffic
studies
it's
all
in
there.
We've
still
got
a
piece
of
property
behind
the
hotel
and
the
seniors.
L
That's
still
there.
We've
got
an
opportunity
with
the
new
subdivision.
The
new
lows
to
put
another
honors
section
there
Sizemore
circle
is
a
state
maintained,
Road
and
coming
from
Citadel
there's
a
power
easement
that
goes
straight
through
I
told
the
mayor
and
I
told
our
representative.
They
need
to
act
with
the
state
and
the
county
to
go
and
make
a
a
through
cut
to
that.
It's
as
close
to
a
frontage
road
that
we'll
ever
get.
A
A
Could
say,
I
appreciate
it
I
appreciate
you
speaking
tonight.
Thank
you,
okay,
I'm,
going
to
give.
Is
there
anybody
else
to
speak,
opposed
to
this
on
any
issues
that
haven't
been
expressed
so
far,
okay,
I'm
going
to
give
the
applicant
an
opportunity
to
speak
on
some
of
these
questions
that
were
raised.
G
Hey
good
afternoon,
Cody
Rogers,
EMC
engineering
I'm
the
civil
engineer
for
Parkers
on
this
project.
First
thing
I
want
to
address
that
several
residents
brought
up
was
that
currently
there's
only
one
entry
and
exit
point
for
Stratford,
that's
true
what
we're
proposing
is
actually
to
build
at
least
a
second
access
point.
By
connecting
with
our
Stratford
cut.
You'll
now
have
a
second
entrance
back
out
onto
whiskey
if
we
were
to
go
over
to
size
more
as
well,
that
would
actually
give
three
access
points
so
significantly
increase
the
circulation
in
that
area
are.
G
T
G
The
other
I
wanted
to
expand
on
what
Daniel
said
about
the
Tia
meeting
this
morning
or
traffic
impact
analysis
meeting
this
morning.
The
traffic
impact
analysis
for
the
lows
across
the
street
is
already
complete
and
we're
actually
due
to
receive
that
report
for
our
Engineers
to
review
it
internally
tomorrow.
G
A
couple
things
that
I
know
did
come
out
of
that
is
a
Northbound
turn
lane
on
Whiskey
onto
powder
house.
That's
what
their
report
showed
it
also
or
I
know
there
are
in
the
works,
a
redesign
of
that
intersection
for
powder
house,
a
realignment
of
powder
house.
It's
so
conceptual
right
now
that
we
don't
know
if
that's
going
to
affect
the
Stratford
side
or
not.
G
There
are
a
multitude
of
options:
traffic,
wise
traffic
improvements
that
we
talked
about
with
the
community
last
week,
everything
from
a
right
turn
from
whiskey
onto
Stratford,
a
left
turn
from
Stratford
onto
our
proposed
Access
Road
multitude
of
different
ideas
of
how
to
improve
the
signal
timing,
but
all
that
will
be
worked
out
in
the
Tia
that
we're
conducting
right
now,
because,
obviously
we
don't
want
to
go
in
blind
just
make
recommendations.
We
want
to
see
what
that
report
recommends.
G
There
are
planned,
significant
improvements
coming
to
that
intersection,
though
so
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
we
are
going
to
work
with
that.
The
other
thing
we
wanted
to
approach
was
delivery
trucks
and,
and
anything.
A
G
G
The
only
other
trucks
that
would
be
coming
into
that
site
would
be
food
delivery,
trucks
stocking
trucks.
You
may
have
on
average
about
five
per
week,
but
they're
typically
box
trucks,
not.
S
J
You
Daniel
Venezuela
real
estate
development
manager,
so
we
have
three
tanks
on
site:
three
underground
storage,
tanks
on
site
each
having
a
capacity
of
twenty
thousand
gallons.
J
So
we
have
60,
000
gallons
of
capacity
on
site,
30,
000,
gallons
of
unleaded
fuel
on
site,
and
so
on
average
we'll
have
two
and
during
peak
season
or
Peak
flow
times,
we'll
have
two
to
three
deliveries
of
fuel
per
week
of
those
trucks
and
so
we're
selling
in
our
pro
forma
we're
projecting
that
this
site
will
sell
approximately
200
to
240
000
gallons
of
fuel
per
month.
And
so,
when
you
extract,
when
you
do
the
math,
that
amounts
to
two
to
three
truck
deliveries
a
week.
I
When
we
say
non-peak
hours,
what
typically,
are
you
referring.
J
So
it
ranges,
and
so
we
have
obviously
having
73
locations.
We
have
trucks
delivering
at
all
times
of
day,
but
I
mean
those
trucks
could
be
here
at
eight
nine
at
night
10
o'clock
at
night
six
o'clock
in
the
morning.
J
You
know
nine
o'clock
in
the
morning
three
o'clock
in
the
afternoon,
but
there's
no
telling,
but
we're
talking
about
one
truck
maximum
60
feet
long
that
comes
through
the
Maximum
Impact
to
traffic.
For
that
one
truck
to
make
its
turn
into
our
site
is
probably
five
seconds.
In
reality
they
get
on
site.
They
position
themselves
to
fill
the
fuel
tanks
and
they're
on
site
for
about
20
to
30
minutes
and
then
they're
gone
and
that's
just
one
truck.
It's
not
a
fuel.
Stop
it's
a
truck!
Stop!
J
I
It's
only
for
for
residential
commercial
vehicles,
residential,
that's
what
I'm
going
to
call
them,
but
not
big
trucks,
18
wheelers!
That's.
A
You
talk
briefly,
you
know
on
the
environmental
side
of
things
as
far
as
the
underground
tanks.
As
far
as
your
construction,
obviously
you
have
to
have.
You
know
inspections
for
the
installation.
Can
you
speak
to
that?
I
can't
speak
to
the
scientific
Benzene
and
what
have
you
that
they're
speaking
of
I'm,
not
a
scientist
but
I,
do
know
with
underground
fuel
tanks.
There's
got
to
be
some
sort
of
process.
Can
you
briefly
tell
talk
about
that.
J
Sure
sure
so,
I'm
not
a
chemical
engineer
but
I
do
manage
the
permitting
process
for
our
underground
storage
tanks
and
so
I'm
here
in
South
Carolina
we're
required
to
submit
an
application
a
permit
to
install
application
first
off.
Let
me
back
up.
We
have
our
fuel
system
design.
We
Engage
The
Services
of
currently
HFA
engineering
to
help
us
with
our
fuel
system,
designs
for
all
of
our
locations
and
so
they're
doing
our
helping
us
with
our
tank
layout
tank
location
and
positioning
fuel
piping
Etc.
J
We
take
those
plans
and
we
submit
those
plans
to
scdhec
for
plan
review
or
we
need
to
submit
to
them
a
permit
to
install
application,
which
is
a
pretty
exhaustive
application.
I
think
it's
about
a
10-page
document
that
provides
details
on
all
of
the
tanks,
the
piping
products
that
we
install
on
our
site
right
now,
we're
employing
the
highest
level
of
Technology
on
our
sites,
double
wall,
fiberglass
tanks.
J
We
have
sensors
sumps
spill,
buckets
you
name
it
the
the
best
technology
we
employ
on
our
sites
to
prevent
some
of
the
issues
that
were
presented
earlier.
We
monitor
our
fuel
levels
in
those
tanks
on
a
daily
basis
and
we
have
to
submit
reports
to
DHEC
on
a
monthly
basis
based
on
the
inspections
that
are
that
that
are
required
on
a
monthly
basis
to
maintain
operation
operations
of
those
tanks.
J
Once
we
get
our
permits
to
install
those
are
issued
when
it
comes
time
to
install
those
tanks,
DHEC
is
present
when
we
put
the
tanks
in
the
ground
in
some,
in
some
cases,
the
local
fire
departments
or
or
in
attendance
as
well.
When
those
tanks
go
into
the
ground,
there's
they're
there
to
observe
the
installation
once
those
tanks
are
installed
and
the
sump
systems
are
attached
and
the
fueling
is
Con.
The
piping
is
completed.
J
The
heck
is
back
on
site
for
what
we
call
a
phase
two
inspection
once
the
the
the
multiple
product
dispensers
or
pumps.
If
you
will
are
installed
and
just
prior
to
opening,
we
have
to
have
yet
a
third
inspection.
We
have
a
third
inspection
from
DHEC.
We
have
to
hire
a
third
party
inspector
to
come
and
inspect
the
way
that
we've
connected
the
system
installed
the
system
they
test.
J
J
The
company
was
founded
in
1976
by
Gregory
Parker,
who
is
still
the
current
CEO
owner
and
operator
of
the
company.
The
first
store
was
established
in
Midway
Georgia,
where,
on
its
original
location,
it's
still
in
operation
right
now
store
number
one
and
yeah
we're
continuing
to
grow
and
expand.
So
the
company's
been
in
in
operation
for
47
years,
I.
I
J
J
So
we've
had
and
I
can't
speak
to
that
entirely.
I've
only
I've
been
with
the
company
for
just
shy
of
four
years,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
we
often
purchase
either
existing
C
stores
or
C
stores
that
were
at
once
one
at
one
point
in
operation
and
on
those
properties.
We
have
some
cases
where
we
have
to
go
in
and
remove
fuel
tanks
or
the
fuel
tanks
were
removed
prior
to
us
either
leasing
or
purchasing
purchasing
the
property.
J
When
we
do
on
that,
we
actually
go
in
and
we
have
to
conduct
environmental
assessments.
We
do
a
phase,
one
environmental
assessment
and
then,
in
most
cases
where
there
are
known
to
be
potential
contaminants,
we
actually
do
what
we
call
a
phase,
two
limited
site
investigation
and
in
many
cases
those
site
investigations
will
uncover
what's
called
volatile
compounds
and
we
have
had
instances
where
Benzene
was
detected
in
the
soils.
J
So
it
does
happen.
I
wish
I
could
stand
here
and
say
that
oh
yeah,
our
technology
is
such
that
it's
impossible
or
there's
100
chance
that
there
will
never
be
a
leak
or
a
spill
from
some
even
from
someone
filling
their
for
filling
their
fuel
tank.
But
I
can't
say
that,
because
the
technology
is
man-made
and
we
make
mistakes
and
things
fail,
and
it
does
happen.
But
thankfully
there
is
a
process
in
place.
J
We
have
a
very
rigorous
in-house
inspection
process
and
management
process
that
accompanied
by
the
processes
through
which
we
have
to
go
to
obtain
our
permits
and
inspections
at
the
state
and
local
level
helps
us
to
ensure
that
we
operate
our
locations
in
a
safe
manner.
H
Sorry
I
have
a
question
sure
earlier
you
mentioned
double
wall
tanks
in
the
event,
God
forbid
anything
happens
if
that
inner
wall
tank
had
a
leak,
I'm
assuming
it'll
spill
over
to
the
auto
tank.
So
you
said
something
about
sensors,
that's
right!
So
where
would
that
be
detected
at
the
store
or
at
a
local
officer,
a
remote
office
somewhere
else
or.
J
Where
so,
we're
monitoring
that
in
the
store
we
actually
have
what
we
call
a
veto
root
system,
that's
some
of
the
technology
that
we
employ
in
our
site
and
in
that
system
you
can
go
and
run
reports,
and
it's
actually
you
can
it's
very
visible.
You
can
look
at
it
and
see
what
where
the
tank
levels
are
on
an
hourly
basis
daily
basis.
Those
reports
are
generated
and
we
have
to
actually
submit
those
reports
to
DHEC
on
a
monthly
basis.
H
So
it's
like
a
with
an
alarm:
go
off
in
the
store
if
they
had
a
leak
or
would
that
be
some
kind
of
piece
of
paper
that
they
would
have
to
read.
J
So
so
and
again,
I
have
limited
knowledge,
but
I've
I've
worked
on
the
construction
side,
so
I've
seen
I've
seen
some
of
this
technology
firsthand,
and
so
there
it's
color
coded
on
their
view
to
root
system.
If
there
is
an
issue,
there's
a
red
light
that
flashes,
you
know.
J
Typically
it's
it's
green
if
all
systems
are
working
properly,
but
if
there
is
an
issue,
there's
a
red
light,
yellow
a
caution
light
and
then
you
can
look
at
the
detection
levels
or
the
fuel
levels
in
the
tanks
themselves
and
then
again,
Those
sensors
will
go
off
and
Trigger
the
system
to
indicate
to
you
that
there
could
be
a
problem
and
once
that
happens,
we
get
inspectors
on
site.
J
We
get
our
fuel
team
back
at
the
corporate
office
involved
and
try
to
address
the
issues
we
have
contracts
with
companies
such
as
guardian
fuel
technologies
that
takes
care
of
all
of
the
maintenance
on
most
of
our
facilities.
We
work
with
guardian.
We
work
with
Central,
Industries
and
spatco
is
another
that
we
work
with
very
closely
to
do
our
installs
and
periodic
maintenance
on
our
systems.
H
G
So
we're
not
quite
working
on
the
plans
just
yet,
but
we're
actually
working
on
the
preliminary
investigation
that
will
drive
the
plans
they
we're
working
with
SEI
Southeast
engineering,
who
is
our
traffic
consultant,
we're
working
with
Kimberly
horn,
who
is
the
traffic
consultant
for
the
Development,
Across
The
Street,
and
then
we're
working
with
Beale
engineering,
Jennifer
Beal?
Who
is
the
city's
traffic
consultant.
U
B
U
U
If
you've
ever
been
to
Savannah
River
Site,
you
can
see
where
it's
built
it's
out
in
the
middle
of
nowhere
because
of
the
potential
release
of
radioactive
or
chemical
poisons
it's
not
located
next
to
residential
areas,
because
if
there
is
a
release
and
as
our
representative
from
Parker
said,
there's
always
the
potential
for
a
release
when
you
get
a
gaseous
release
and
there's
some
houses
right
next
to
you,
it's
already
too
late
to
stop
the
exposure.
U
U
My
second
issue
has
to
do
with
the
traffic
I
attended.
The
meeting
at
they
held
over
at
the
Putt-Putt
about
a
week
ago,
and
they
were
talking
about
the
traffic
control
was
being
monitored
by
some
outfit
in
Kansas
City
and
that
all
they
do
is
monitor
how
many
cars
go.
This
way,
how
many
cars
go?
U
That
way,
so
there's
no
information
on
how
fast
they're
going
you
know
it's
just
when,
when
and
and
how
many
go
through
their
those
intersections
that
one
intersection
that
powder,
House,
Stratford,
Hall
and
Whiskey
Road
I,
don't
know
if
you
live
on
the
south
side
of
town,
but
it's
starting
at
about
maybe
four
o'clock
or
even
earlier
because
of
the
high
schools,
letting
out
all
the
way
on
through
six
o'clock.
U
U
So
when
you
start
thinking
about
all
the
stuff,
that's
being
added
in
there,
there's
there's
housing
being
developed
right
now
on
Powder
House
Road
that
hasn't
been
completed.
Yet
there's
going
to
be
a
big
grocery
store
there
they've
just
finished
at
Danbrook
Village
we're
now
going
to
have
a
Lulu's
and
then
another
gas
station.
U
O
O
That's
a
very
remote
way
of
knowing
what's
going
on,
I
would
like
to
invite
you
folks,
I
assume,
you're
all
familiar
with
Whiskey
Road
at
the
powder
house,
intersection
so
forth,
and
so
on,
Powder
house
coming
into
Whiskey
Road.
You
might
not
have
noticed
very
much
Stratford
Drive,
which
of
course
goes
behind
the
Holiday
Inn
I'm,
just
inviting
you
folks
to
someday
some
weekday
at
4,
30
or
5
just
come
on
down
there
and
see
what
the
current
traffic
situation
is,
because
it's
quite
severe
and
it's
safe
to
assume
that
anything
that
happens.
A
A
K
Very
aggressive,
400
Ascot
Drive
in
Stratford
off
of
Stratford.
He
just
had
the
gentleman
just
mentioned
about
the
time
that
the
fuel
tanks
were
coming
six
o'clock
in
the
morning
eight
o'clock
at
night,
disturbing
I
mean
no
there's
no
good
time
of
day,
but
that
is
like
the
worst
time
of
day.
L
Know
who
you
are
this
is
you
you
asked
Parkers
about
their
tank
configuration.
The
venting
on
the
tanks
is
I.
Think
is
a
standard
bending.
You
can
ask
them.
You
can
find
out
they're
about
13
feet,
high
they're,
two
inch
pipes,
I,
don't
believe
they
have
any
monitoring
on
them.
I,
don't
know
of
any
gas
stations
in
South
Carolina
that
do
that,
but
then
I
don't
see
many
of
them
put
outside
of
residential
areas.
L
So
the
real
question
comes
then,
besides
worrying
about
a
an
underground
stowage
tank
leaking,
what
type
of
controls
today
I
didn't
hear
anything
about
dikes
or
retention
areas
because
of
spills
that
happen
out
on
the
main
area,
where
they
have
a
spill
from
fueling
up
their
tanks
about
150
different
chemicals
in
it.
But
there's
the
the
big
ones
are
the
Benzene,
the
toluene,
the
ethyl
Benzene
and
the
xylene
is
the
real
big
actors
when
you
have
have
leaks
so
so
they
did
a
study
in
Illinois
their
Environmental
Group.
L
The
vent
pipes
are
they're
active
when
they're
being
filled
they're
active
as
they
sit
there
to
keep
the
pressure
within
the
tank,
and
then
you
have
when
people
are
feeling
and
they
found
at
two
different
gas
stations
that
for
every
thousand
gallons
that
was
moved
they
had
and
one
station
1.4
pounds
of
chemical
Vapors
released
from
from
their
tanks
at
at
the
other
one.
It
was
1.7.
So
this
this
was
the
beginning,
these
these
studies
that
I've
cited
for
you
guys
2021.
This
is
in
some
old
data,
a
lot
of
gas
stations.
L
Now
the
states
are
starting
to
look
at
closed,
vent
systems
to
protect
people
from
being
exposed
the
so
so
as
I
you
can
ask
Parker,
but
I,
don't
believe
they
they
have
on
any
of
their
sites.
They've
got
beautiful
gas
stations,
but
I
don't
think
they
need
to
be
near
a
residential
area.
This
is
this
is
something
out
of
those
two
two
city
council
meeting
minutes
that
I
asked
you
guys
to
consider
going
back
and
read
taking
it
back
to
your
your
levels
of
when
you
start.
L
First
seeing
the
zoning
and
planning
evolutions,
the
mayor,
God
bless
her
soul
made
a
statement.
I
found
very
interesting.
It's
2012.
stated
at
times
there
was
congestion
on
whiskey
at
times,
there's
congestion
on
busy
roads.
He
said,
if
we
think
about
it,
however,
we
realize
we
don't
have
a
traffic
problem.
Like
many
other
places,
he
stated
we
have
to
take
responsibility
for
our
own
movement
of
traffic.
L
He
says:
there's
several
ways
to
get
from
the
north
to
the
south
of
Aitkin,
without
using
Whiskey
Road,
he
pointed
out
the
new
traffic
signal
system,
which
allows
one
to
travel
down
whiskey
many
times
without
having
to
stop
at
signals.
He
also
stated
people
can
schedule
their
time
to
go
on
Whiskey
and
not
go
during
the
busiest
time
that
type
of
mindset's
got
it.
L
We
gotta
move
out
of
that
because,
on
the
south
side
that
whiskey
Corridor
has
become
worse
in
some
cases
as
much
as
a
major
city
like
Charlotte
and
there's
no
reason
for
it.
I
I
really
would
ask
you
guys
to
consider
when
you
go
back
with
your
planning
to
look
at
at
that
possibility
of
going
across
where
the
new
subdivision
is
tying
it
in
to
the
the
senior
apartments
going
over
to
Citadel
and-
and
you
know
we
went
and
did
this
with
the
with
the
state.
L
They've
got
a
Economic
Development
board
that'll
come
in
and
help
with
infrastructure
for
growth.
We
did
that
with
that
Excel
Corporation
they
tried
to
put
out
in
front
of
us
it's
now
a
defunct
company.
We
would
have
had
like
a
you
know,
an
empty
lot
out
in
front
of
us,
but
they
were
willing
to
go
and
put
a
signal
in.
We
need
to
see
about
getting
that
pulled
through
on
Sizemore.
L
A
Take
this
up
with
the
board
with
the
commission
this
time.
Okay,
so
for
item
3C
they'll
have
a
motion.
V
Mr
chairman,
in
regards
to
application
23-23002
the
concept
plan,
approval
request
for
tax
parcel
number.
V
123-11-22-001
I
recommend
that
we
move
the
city
council
with
the
listed
stated
conditions
with
the
addition
to
item
number,
seven
that
all
parties
to
include
the
Aiken,
powderhouse
LLC,
Drayton
properties,
Drayton
Parker
companies,
City
vacant,
Aiken,
County
and
South,
Carolina
DOT
and
any
parties
now
or
in
the
immediate
future,
coordinate
the
improvements
of
the
intersection
of
powder,
House,
Stratford
and
Whiskey
Road.
V
A
V
That
all
parties,
basically
in
the
Tia
agreement
that
gentlemen
have
stated
to
include
the
Aiken
powder
House
LLC
development,
Drayton
Parker
companies,
which
is
this
applicant
city
of
Aitkin,
Aiken,
County
and
South
Carolina
DOT
and
any
parties
now
are
in
the
immediate
future.
So
if
these
parties
were
to
change
hands
or
operating
entities,
they
coordinate
the
improvements
of
the
intersection
of
powder
House
Road
Stratford
Drive.
It
was
it's
simple
terms
that
all
these
parties
come
together
to
improve
the
that
are.
W
I'd
like
to
well
maybe
add
to
that
as
well
in
terms
of
the
traffic
study
to
include
that
vacant
five-acre
parcel
to
the
West
as
a
potential
commercial
space
have
the
traffic
study
pre,
you
know
come
up
with
some
numbers
for
potential
commercial
area
and
then
that
the
Lulu's
Lulu's
anything
that
could
affect
that
intersection.
F
M
and
a
comment
just
just
in
order
for
her
to
build
the
traffic
consultant
to
be
able
to
do
that,
she
would
need
to
know
a
use
now.
What
we
have
done
before
is
to
condition
it
as,
as
we
know
what
that
use
is,
that
will
be
incorporated
in
I
mean
so,
in
other
words,
it's
continuing
it's
building
and
and
all
that
gets
Incorporated
in
as
it's
developed.
W
W
Mean
if
it's
unknown,
you'd
have
to
say
what's
five
acres,
it
could
be
19
000
square
feet
of
commercial
could
be
a
fast
food
restaurant,
but
at
least
it's
better
than
nothing
right
now,
you're
saying:
there's
nothing!
No
traffic!
Coming
from
that
vacant
lot.
There
should
be
some
traffic
coming
from
that
vacant
lot
if
in
the
future,
but.
A
W
I
guess,
as
one
of
the
residents
stated,
you
know
ten
dollars
today
a
million
dollars
tomorrow.
If
you
need
two,
a
double
left
turn
lane
to
know
that
now
versus
that
I
mean
yeah.
A
Oh,
you
can
make
a
comment.
Go
ahead.
V
V
W
V
W
V
W
C
I
W
A
A
F
W
The
problem
is,
if
you
design
an
intersection
with
my
turn
lane
one
left
turn
lane
and
then
something
comes
in.
It's
a
five
acre
Peak,
no
something's
going
to
be
developed.
There
comes
in
and
then
you
have
to
do
something
to
the
intersection.
You
know
you
might
not
have
that
right
away.
You
may
not
have
I.
I
I
Least
in
the
conditions
is
what
you're
saying
is
that
that
parcel
should
be
taken
into
consideration
for
for
future,
so
something
along
those
lines.
I
know
we
can't
get
into
the
details
of
how
that
exactly
is
calculated,
but
miss.
C
Moultrie
to
your
knowledge,
have
we
done
something
like
this
before,
like
basically
taking
an
empty
plot
of
land,
saying
we're
going
to
do
a
traffic
study
for
an
empty
plot
of
land.
F
H
F
C
And
my
my
reason
for
asking
that
question,
if
we've
done
that
before
is
I
am
hesitant
to
set
a
precedent
off
the
cuff
right,
because
if
we
pass
this
here
and
now,
we
are
setting
a
precedent
and
it's
off
the
cuff,
without
referring
back
to
staff
without
having
more
deeper
conversations
on
this
I
am
not
against.
The
idea
of
you
know.
C
Taking
some
average
of
possible
builds
for
a
undeveloped
plot
of
land
and
conducting
traffic
studies
off
of
that,
but
I
am
very
hesitant
to
design
language
that
can
be
used
as
president
off
the
cuff
just
right
here
right
now.
So
again,
I
would
happily
bring
this
up
at
a
later
meeting
and
maybe
set
up
something.
That's
a
bit
more
standardized
but
I'm,
just
very
hesitant
to
set
precedent
off
the
cuff,
which
is
my
opinion
on
this.
F
Another
thought
is
to
allow
at
least
allow
set
up
the
language
to
allow
our
traffic,
our
city
traffic
consultant
to
look
at
that
and
understand.
If
that's
realistic
for
her
to
do
I
mean,
in
other
words
I
I,
don't
feel
like
that's,
we
need
to
defer
to
her
and
I
would
think
I
would
leave.
We
can
leave
it
open-ended
to
say
yes,
this
is
maybe
something
she's
seen
before
or
no
pretty
easy.
F
W
Yeah,
that's
I,
I
think
we
have
done
something
similar
in
the
past
where
we
had
a
apartment,
complex
that
generated
less
than
100
100
cars
in
a
peak
hour,
but
there
was
another
apartment
complex
next
to
it,
and
so
we
had
the
traffic
engineer
take
both
of
them
into
consideration
when
they
were
looking
at
Dougherty
Road
you
just
you
can
have
five
developments
that
all
generate
less
than
100
cars
in
the
peak
hour,
but
additively
they're
sure
there
are
450
cars
in
the
Pico,
so
I
think
our
traffic
engineer
should
be
looking
at
that.
F
Yeah,
it's
just
a
question
of
how
to
again
to
set
up
the
language
to
where
it's
deferred,
to
her
expertise
as
to
how
and
if
it
realistically
can.
W
C
W
V
C
C
And
for
the
record
again,
I
am
very
much
open
to
this
idea.
I
am
just
very
hesitant
to
set
precedent
off
the
call
and
I
just
think
we
should
discuss
further
with
staff
about
this
before
we
set
that
President
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
I,
just
don't
think
that
we
should
come
up
with
language
that
can
be
used
for
legal
president
for
years
down
the
road
just
off
the
cuff.
I
V
V
I
will
resubmit
my
notion
to
approve
it
and
send
it
to
city
council
with
the
stated
enlisted
conditions,
one
through
six
with
the
added
item
of
number,
seven,
that
all
parties
to
include
powder
house,
Aiken
powder,
House,
LLC,
Drayton,
Parker
companies,
the
city
of
Aiken,
Aitkin,
County
and
South.
Carolina
DOT
and
any
parties
now
are
in
the
future,
coordinate
the
improvements
to
the
intersection
of
powder
House,
Road
Stratford
job
in
whiskey.
Okay,.
A
C
Just
just
just
to
State
a
few
things
so
one
when
it
comes
to
traffic
on
Whiskey,
the
city
of
Aitkin,
Miss
Moultrie.
Unless
I'm.
B
C
And
has
allocated
more
than
100
million
dollars
to
do
a
various
connectors,
the
route
Whiskey
In
order
to
help
alleviate
traffic,
as
our
city
grows.
That's
very
slow
going
because,
obviously
to
to
purchase
a
bunch
of
different
land
and
go
through
a
whole
bunch
of
different
things,
but
we
are
keeping
the
growth
of
the
city
in
Mind
by
allocating
funds
to
add
those
connectors
to
help
alleviate
traffic.
Additionally,
with
scdot
itself,
people
mentioned
adding
lights,
scdot
runs
Whiskey
Road,
we
don't
we.
C
If
we
had
the
ability
to
add
lights
on
risky
road,
we
probably
would,
but
we
do
not
have
that
ability
to
do
so.
That
is
the
state,
not
us
we
can
advocate
for
them,
but
we
cannot
mandate
them.
Also.
The
gentleman
described
very
well
from
Parkers
all
of
the
DHEC
regulations
in
regards
to
all
of
the
gas
I
understand
that
it
can
be
a
bit
scary.
C
A
Okay,
so
then
the
motion
has
been
presented
and
seconded
for
approval,
based
on
the
conditions
listed
in
the
added
conditions.
Listen
all
those
in
favor
raise
your
hand.
A
All
those
in
favor
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
