Here,
I'm
out
there
treats
vacant.
My
name
is
Brian
Nome
and
I'm
going
to
be
the
project
engineer,
I'm,
just
more
or
less
here
to
answer
any
technical
questions.
If
any
of
you
have
any
essentially
they're
proposing
a
drive-thru
Dairy
Queen
over
there,
we're
not
asking
for
anything
special
in
that.
Just
the
fact
that
we
want
to
tap
the
sewer
in
the
water
service.

Second.
D
A
A
E
Not
really
saying
I'm
against
I'm,
just
more
less
asking
questions:
okay
house
in
that
subdivision
and
I've
been
living
long,
it's
been
in
my
family
since
1951
is
in
the
county.
What
are
the
requirements
for
a
person
to
ask
to
be
annexed
into
the
city?
Do
you
not
have
to
have
continued
contiguous
property?
You.
F
F
E
F
A
G
A
H
Yes,
sir,
thanks
for
having
me
I
am
Kevin.
Bumpass
I
had
a
property,
104
silver
Bluff.
Obviously,
six
Oakland
Hills
I
also
have
property
there
as
well.
I
can
tell
you
my
sister
and
I
owned
this
house.
Together,
it
was
been
in
my
family.
I
was
born
in
that
house.
It's
been
in
my
family
for
40
years,
maybe
closer
to
60,
maybe,
but
so
it's
we've
had
it
forever.
H
We've
rented
it
for
many
many
years
and
my
father
and
my
mother
passed
away
like
we
all
going
to
do,
and
my
sister
and
I
try
to
sell
the
house
that
we
can't
even
give
the
house
away
I
think
due
to
the
fact
that
right
across
the
street
as
salvation
on
to
the
left
of
that
is
honey,
baked
ham
to
the
right.
Oh
that's
the
church
to
the
right.
Oh
that's
the
police
office,
and
you
know
we
would
just
like.
Oh
I'm,
sorry.
A
H
A
Where
mr.
bumper
said
that
pretty
consistently
along
silver,
Bluff
Road
at
say,
Ken
estates,
basically
there,
as
you
know,
you
grew
up
there
and
it's
pretty
consistently
along
that
road.
All
the
way
down
there,
past
Williams
drive
on
that
side
of
silver
Bluff
has
remained
residential
and
the
problem
that
you
got
is
you're
asking
to
change
that
designation.
A
H
A
H
A
I
My
name's
ed
rall
I
own
property
at
114
server
Bluff
for
the
last
18
years.
I
have
seen
the
properties
along
that
Street
kind
of
decay
and
I
think
that
the
option
of
limited
professional
would
really
help
the
whole
neighborhood
out
professional.
You
have
the
Asian
states
in
the
backside
of
that
I
understand
that
and
I,
don't
think
there'd
be
much
of
a
problem
for
anybody.
That's
behind
those
houses
on
silver
Bluff,
so
I
just
am
for
this
and
I
think
it'd
be
good
use
the
property.
D
J
About
100
feet,
property
line
anyway,
I've
been
living
there
since
98
and
I
have
probably
for
15
years
and
more
anticipated
the
day.
When
my
neighbor
his
house
would
change
to
limited
professional,
maybe
get
a
dentist
or
lawyer
or
somewhere
in
there
and
I
thought
you
know
eventually,
I
might
do
the
same
since
I'm
on
a
corner
house.
It
might
be
more
valuable,
maybe,
and
so,
when
I,
you
know,
I
heard
about
this
I
figured
I
should
be
here
and
talk
about
it.
J
J
But
other
than
that
I'm
actually
kind
of
favor
of
it
I
think
that,
like
if
the
other
guy
said
it's
a
good
use
of
the
land,
the
all
the
properties
across
the
street
from
us,
they're
all
businesses
and,
frankly
for
15
or
20
years,
the
two
blocks
down
would
say
across
where
it
used
to
be
the
Blockbuster.
And
now
what
is
a
chiropractic
place
or
some
kind
of
corner
yeah
at
118
I
think
it's
number:
is
businesses
have
been
changing
down,
they're
working
their
way
up
toward
our
toward
our
part
of
the
street
and
I?
J
K
Ernest
and
I
live
in
Aiken
estates
near
this
location
and
I
have
concerns
for
the
neighborhood.
It
is
a
residential
neighborhood
and
we'd
like
to
keep
it
a
nice
residential
neighborhood
that
attracts
nice,
people
being
close
to
Silver
Bluff.
You
know
we're
used
to
that
traffic
situation
and
that's
another
issue.
The
traffic
on
silver
Bluff
is
backs
up
quite
frequently.
People
coming
off
whiskey
onto
silver
Bluff
people
coming
in
and
out
of
the
Salvation
Army
there.
So
you
add
one
more
thing
to
it,
and
you're
gonna
have
a
lot
bigger
problem
there.
K
K
L
K
A
K
K
K
A
M
K
M
O
P
A
question
maybe
to
bring
mr.
bump
the
stock
up.
The
answer
I
wanted
to
hear
some
comments.
First,
in
regards
to
the
property
of
the
real
estate.
That's
located
on
this
lot.
Would
it
even
allow
for
an
LP
designation
with
rear
parking
in
the
back
I'm
a
dope
with
that
house
had
to
be
torn
down
by
me
because
ask
ya
that
the
den
foot
buffer
Plus,
yet,
though
rear
parking
which.
H
P
H
F
G
Mr.
chair
reference
to
application
number
19-0:
that's
six:
zero,
zero,
zero,
nine
reason,
requests
tax
parcel
number
106;
oh
eight,
no
7.04,
representing
residential
single-family
in
the
limited
professional
I
recommend.
We
deny
this
request,
should
counsel
because
I
don't
think
it's
within
the
comprehensive
plan.
I
think
that
we're
opening
up
a
can
of
worms
here
that
second.
A
Questions
comments
on
the
motion.
I
I
basically
agree
with.
You
I
think
it's.
It
may
be
inevitable
in
this.
In
the
long
run
scheme
of
things
it
may
be
an
inevitable
action,
but
I
think
if
you
do
it
here,
then,
if
somebody
else
two
houses
down
comes
in
we're
gonna
have
to
do
it
for
them.
Look
we
can't.
We
can't
just
do
it
for
this
one
and
and
not
do
it
for
somebody
else.
If
somebody
comes
down
at
the
corner,
Williams
we're
gonna
have
to
do
it
for
them.
A
So
I
think
akin
states
is
a
it's.
A
venerable
neighborhood's
been
around
a
long
time.
I
think
there's
plenty
of
places
to
put
LP
items
other
than
here.
I'm
I
sympathize
with
the
owner
of
the
house.
I
understand
you
know
when
we
make
a
call
like
this
there's
two
sides
to
the
question
it
is.
It
is
difficult
to
sell
as
a
as
a
home.
It
does
not
have
the
same
value
as
a
home
as
a
residence.
A
M
F
M
A
M
M
A
A
A
Telecommunications
request
from
sending
ordinance
issues
where
that
has
been
continued,
so
we
will
not
consider
that
tonight
g3g.
That's
the
consideration
of
the
rezoning
of
the
area
bounded
by
Union
Street
Park,
Avenue,
Buford,
Street
and
Barnwell
Avenue
from
G
B
light
industrial
and
residential
single-family
to
downtown
business.
A
F
Say
yeah
mr.
chairman
I
could
give
some
context
to
this
actual
application,
so
currently
the
area
generally
bounded
by
Union,
Street,
Buford,
Street
and
then
north
to
south
Barnwell,
Avenue
to
Park
Avenue
as
the
map.
This
depicts
most
of
those
properties
between
Union,
Street
and
Williamsburg,
Street
or
zone.
The
general
business
east
of
Williamsburg
Street
is
predominantly
zoned
light
industrial.
F
This
discussion
came
up
as
part
of
implementing
the
newly
adopted
comprehensive
plan,
which
calls
for
a
mixture
of
uses
in
this
area
more
traditional
to
the
way
that
the
old
Aiken
area
developed.
Additionally,
the
conference'
plan
promotes
residential
uses
in
and
around
taken,
which
the
general
business
district
that
is
currently
there
prohibits
as
a
standalone
use.
F
So
right
now,
all
those
properties,
zoned
general
business
or
light
industrial,
do
not
allow
for
single-family
residences
and
as
kind
of
the
map
depicts
and
the
staff
report
describes
many
of
those
properties
for
at
one
time,
single-family
homes
and
there
are
traditionally
been
a
smattering
of
small
businesses,
particularly
west
of
Williamsburg
Street.
Now
the
area
east
of
Williamsburg
Street
has
traditionally
been
light.
Industrial.
Those
parcels
are
typically
larger
in
nature
and
have
traditionally
had
industrial
type
uses
as
where
rail
Spurs.
Typically,
you.
F
Existed
from
the
railroad
track
as
it
came
to
grade
so
in
order
to
implement
the
conference
of
plan,
the
general
business
zone
district
is
is
more
along.
It's
it's
essentially
the
the
more
dense
version
of
sorry,
the
more
intense
version
of
commercial
zoning
that
we
have
currently
on
the
books.
That's
what
you
would
typically
find
along
whiskey,
Road,
Richland,
Avenue,
West,
York,
Street,
north
those
sorts
of
areas,
pine
log
Road,
and
it
typically
promotes
more
commercial,
suburban
style
development.
F
So
most
of
these,
these
parcels
within
the
area,
particularly
the
general
business
parcels,
have
improvements
that
don't
meet
current
setbacks
and
then
the
residential
uses
don't
meet
use
residential
use
requirements
unless
they're
a
few
of
those
smattering.
Now,
there's
one
two:
three:
it's
about
I,
think
nine
parcels
zoned
residential
single-family
in
there
there
are
about
45
of
those
parcels
that
we
counted
that
were
vacant
in
this
area
and
most
of
those
are
mid-block
locations
that
previously
had
single-family
homes.
F
So
over
the
last
several
few
months
about
this
last
six
months
through
work
sessions
and
public
hearings
and
public
meetings,
we
looked
at
what
might
be
an
appropriate
zoning
to
replace
that
GP.
That
would
that
would
allow
that
mixture
of
uses
and
so
options
would
be
to
kind
of
create
a
whole
new
zone
district
or
to
look
at
one
of
the
zone.
Districts
currently
in
I
guess
the
catalog
of
zone
districts
that
are
currently
on
the
books
and
the
zone
district
that
the
Planning
Commission
looked
at,
that
fell.
F
It
does
a
couple
of
things,
one
it
has
as
relaxed
setback
requirements.
So
a
lot
of
the
non-conforming
properties
that
are
that
have
been
constructed
in
that
area
would
again
reach
a
conforming
status.
So,
for
instance,
there
there
are
a
number
of
residences
that
maybe
have
a
porch
or
something
like
that
that
do
not
meet
the
current
setback
requirement.
If
that
were
to
catch
fire,
you
know
become
dilapidated,
fall
due
to
setback
requirements.
F
A
lot
of
those
cases,
staff
wouldn't
allow
those
to
be
rebuilt
or
if
they
like,
a
single-family
home
in
that
area,
where
they
say
burn
down,
it
cannot
be
permitted
back
now.
The
the
differentiation
big
differentiation
on
the
business
side
between
general
business
and
downtown
business
is
automobile
oriented
uses
such
as
automobile
sales,
automobile
service,
drive-through,
restaurants.
Those
are
kind
of
some
of
the
big
ones
that
get
pulled
out
of
the
downtown
business
that
are
currently
allowed
in
general
business
not
allowed
in
downtown
business.
F
The
light
industrial
uses,
essentially,
this
kind
of
it's
kind
of
a
hard
line
that
allows,
since
only
light
industrial
uses,
warehousing
light
very
light
manufactured
like
fabricating
things
like
that
automobile
sales,
vehicle
sales
are
in
that
as
well,
so
those
that's
kind
of
a
whole
I,
guess
kind
of
a
different
discussion.
The
other
thing
that
the
staff
would
notice
that
this
is
the
only
real
concentration
of
light
industrial
property
within
the
city
limits,
so
that
should
be
taken
under
consideration
by
by
council.
F
You
know
whether
that
would
be
appropriate
for
a
downtown
business
or
some
variation
of
that.
If
you
were
to
go
back
and
reconsider
a
mixture
of
light,
industrial
and
business
uses.
The
other
thing
that
the
downtown
business
zone
district
allows
and
that
kind
of
comes
with
it.
It's
currently,
there
is
a
facade
grant
improvement
program
for
properties
that
are
both
in
the
old
lake
and
overlay
and
the
downtown
business
zone
district,
and
so
as
funds
were
allocated
by
Council,
a
rezoning
to
downtown
business
would
allow
the
use
of
those
facade
grant
programs.
F
That's
a
matching
grant
of
it's
a
reimbursement
up
to
$10,000
for
improvements
that
are
consistent
with
the
old
Aiken
design
guidelines
that
are
that
already
applied
to
the
area
for
significant
work,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
context
of
this
is
that
the
general
business,
particularly
in
this
area,
doesn't
fit.
Some
of
the
goals
actually
prevents
some
of
the
goals
of
the
comprehensive
plan,
particularly
residential
uses,
and
so,
as
we
examine
the
existing
zone,
districts
that
are
on
the
books.
F
D
F
Currently,
under
the
general
business
zone,
district
single
fan,
standalone,
single-family
homes
are
not
permitted,
so
they
change
to
downtown
business
own
district
and
again
most
of
these
Lots.
It
were
especially
interior
to
the
blocks
that
don't
front
Richland
or
Park
Avenue.
Those
have
essentially
been
planted
for
for
residential
development,
but,
as
properties
have
been
torn
down
over
time,
this
general
business
zone
district
has
been
in
place
for
about
18
years
now.
Those
have
not
one
option
that
could
replace.
It
is
not
single-family
residences.
F
Under
the
general
business
district,
it
would
have
to
be
part
of
a
larger
commercial
development
and
essentially
on
most
of
these
sites,
the
Lots
are
small
enough
that
that
isn't
a
development
option.
So
they,
unless
somebody
were
to
combine
several
Lots,
then
you
can
maybe
create
a
commercial
development
that's
allowed
by
the
zone
district,
but
right
now
they
just
sit
vacant.
There's
roughly
forty
five
vacant
lots
in
the
area.
Currently
let.
A
Me
comment
to
just
you
know:
sometimes
people
get
the
idea
that
that
we
sit
up
here
and
we
look
around
and
we
think
well.
We
want
to
do
this
over
here
or
we
want
to
change
this
over
here.
This
bubbled
up
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
from
the
ground
up
to
us
in
the
public
meetings
and
the
input
we
had
it
bubbled
up
from
the
ground
that
there
were
lots
of
issues
out
here
regarding
single-family
homes,
the
Comprehensive
Plan
likes
wants
to
get
more
people
living
downtown.
A
You
can't
rebuild
homes,
it
was
a
fair
amount
of
bubbling
up
from
the
ground,
a
groundswell
of
people
who
said.
Look
this
we'd
like
to
make
a
change
and
we'd
like
to
look
at
something
to
make
a
change.
So
that's
that's.
Why
we're
doing
it?
We're
not
we're
not
sitting
up
here
and
just
creating
this
out
of
nothing
just
just.
F
A
little
bit
of
background,
a
mr.
chairman,
one
thing,
I
guess
it'd
be
worth
going
over.
This
is
a
question
we
commonly
got
in.
The
planning
department
is
what,
if
I
have
a
use?
That's
currently
allowed
that
under
the
rezoning
would
no
longer
be
allowed,
so
those
are
grandfathered
in
in
our
code.
If
you
change
the
zoning
and
our
use
is
currently
on
a
site
that
got
rezone
to
something
that
would
not
allow
it
that
use
may
continue
indefinitely
until
it
is
no
longer
you
that
use
on
that
site
for
a
period
of
12
months.
F
So
if
they
use
ceases
to
exist
on
a
site
for
a
12-month
period,
then
they
lose
the
right
to
continue
that
use,
and
so
anything
that
is
a
non-conforming
use,
so
it
would
be
allowed
under
G
B,
but
not
allowed
under
the
D,
be
the
downtown
business
zoning
those
uses
are
grandfathered
in
unless
they
cease
to
operate
for
a
period
of
12
months.
So
as
long
as
that
continues,
it
can
continue
as
the
site.
Okay.
M
F
F
R
R
You
kind
of
shifted
from
favor
two
opposed
to
quick
I'm
here.
To
tell
you.
The
Army
is
not
opposed
to
change
the
concept
here.
It's
an
amiable
one.
We
won't
see
that
area
course
of
proof
that
he
hears
you
know
and
Ron
will
talk
about
the
legal
non-conforming
use
in
a
second
The
Salvation
Army
has
had
a
presence
in
a
consisting
twenty
nine,
a
shelter
for
truly
needy
people.
R
Excuse
me,
since
1962
little
off
them,
trying
to
make
sure
I
keep
my
facts
straight,
stand
with
the
zoning
change
that
we
would
be
allowed
to
continue
to
operate
the
shelter
at
Park
and
Sumter
in
Horry
a
little
bit
earlier.
If
the
youth,
for
some
reason
were
to
cease
for
a
period
of
12
months,
we
may
run
into
the
trouble
may
run
into
a
situation
where
we
have
to
have
a
special
exception.
R
The
Salvation
Army.
Mr.
chairman,
is
very
concerned
about
a
prospect
like
that.
The
future
is
just
what
it
is.
It's
the
future.
You
don't
know
what
could
happen.
Well,
everybody
I
think
wants
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
shelter
in
this
area
for
those
in
need
and
how
important
it
is.
We
don't
want
to
take
the
risk
and
that's
why,
as
you
know,
we've
respectfully
requested
by
way
of
letter
that
we
not
be
included
in
the
new
zoning
plan
not
asking
to
be
excluded.
R
R
S
R
D
R
D
R
T
T
The
Salvation
Army,
where
it
is
now
has
been
there
for
60
62
years
long
before
I
got
here.
I
just
got
here
and
and
the
beauty
of
Aiken
is
that
it's
a
wonderful
mix
of
both
old
and
new
army,
shelter
being
right,
where
it
is
it's
not
just
style
or
to
add
that
flavor
of
old
style,
but
it
actually
was
something
that
was
provided
by
those
people
that
were
here
long
before
we
got
here
long
before
I
got
here.
Those
are
the
ones
that
kept
the
Salvation
Army
shelter
going.
T
Those
funds
that
they
donated
open
the
Salvation
Army's
doors
there.
It
has
supported
the
Salvation
Army
until
now.
So
now
we
have
some
grants
and
some
different
things,
but
originally
it
was
supported
by
those
who
believed
in
providing
hope
for
the
hopeless
people
know
exactly
where
it
is
in
this
community.
We
have
folks
that
come
to
the
community,
and
anybody
can
point
them
to
the
doors
of
the
Salvation
Army
and
they
know
that
Aiken
wants
those
doors
heat
those
doors.
U
U
U
V
My
name
is
Peter
Poulos
I
live
over
in
Sumpter
Street
I
mean
I
own
property.
I'm
Sumter
street
I
live
in
Aiken.
An
Autobahn
and
I
am
very
much
in
favor
of
the
downtown
business.
I
think
it
sort
of
has
the
potential
to
rejuvenate
that
northeast
part
of
town
and
I
would
also
like
to
say
I'm
an
attorney
but
I'm,
not
a
member
of
the
South
Carolina
Board
I.
V
Remember
the
kind
I
could
board
and
sort
of
a
retired
member
of
the
Pennsylvania
Board
and
in
hearing
what
the
folks
in
the
Salvation
Army
had
to
say,
I'm
in
total
agreement
with
them
and
I
think
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
council
has
within
their
power
to
grant
special
exceptions
in
any
zoning
proposals
that
they
may
come
up
with
and
I.
Think
a
special
exemption
could
very
well
be
granted
to
the
Salvation,
Army
and
I
would
ask
you
to
consider
you
know
doing
that
sort
of
thing
anyway.
V
Bottom
line
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
I
think
you
could
you're
going
to
rejuvenate
an
area
that
needs
rejuvenation
and
make
a
difference
and
by
the
way,
I'm
also
very
much
involved
with
Christ
central
another
organization.
There's
a
lot
of
work
very
similar
to
what
the
Salvation
Army
does
and
I'm
putting
in
a
plug
for
schools
that
we
started
in
graniteville.
We
got
approval
by
the
Commission
on
South
South,
Carolina
Commission
on
Higher
Education.
We
are
running
a
culinary
program
in
a
paralegal
program,
post
secondary
schools.
Thank
you.
D
F
Though
I
was
just
looking
at
that
under
downtown
business,
so
here's
what
it
says.
It
says
that
no
building
structure
premises
containing
a
non-conforming.
You
shall
be
extended
unless
such
extension
or
alteration
shall
conform.
The
building
to
building
line
setback,
height,
meditations
yard
other
provisions.
So
what
that
does
is
on
the
use
side
its,
whether
it
dis
continues
for
a
period
of
12
months
on
the
actual
site,
development
side
of
things
right
now.
F
Most
of
the
buildings
in
the
light
industrial
area
do
not
meet
current
setback,
requirements
and
site
standards
for
light
industrial
uses
that
they
would
under
the
downtown
business.
So
it
would
allow
them
some
additional
latitude
to
expand
the
building
or
reconfigure
the
building
and
things
like
that
without
impacting
the
loss
of
the
use
on
the
site,
so
the
12-month
vacancy
period
would
still
apply,
but
it
would
allow
them
a
little
more
leeway
with
building
improvements
or
site
improvement.
D
N
U
S
F
So
the
other
retail
uses
so,
for
instance,
other
retail
uses
in
the
light
industrial
district
are
allowed
by
special
exception.
Now
in
South
Carolina
code
and
our
city
code,
special
exceptions
are
only
permitted
by
the
Board
of
Zoning
Appeals.
So
there
are,
there
are
11
conditions
written
into
the
code
that
we
derive
from
the
state
code
that
if
you
meet
those
conditions
you
can
you
are
from
the
Design
Review
Board
may
consider
you
design,
review
board
Board
of
Zoning
Appeals.
Sorry
Board
of
Zoning
Appeals
may
consider
you
as
a
use
in
that
zone
district.
F
So
that's
the
way
retail
uses
in
light
industrial
district
work.
Conversely,
it's
also
the
way
the
the
Salvation
Army,
the
the
shelter
use
would
operate
within
the
downtown
business
district,
so
both
of
those
are
essentially
it
would
be,
but
the
warehousing
essentially
I
think
a
part
of
their
operation
now
would
be
warehousing
that
the
warehousing
gab
would
have
to
be
a
part
of
another
allow
use
under
the
downtown
business
district.
So
warehousing
alone
is
not
permitted
under
downtown
business.
A
Comment
as
to
the
Salvation
Army,
first
of
all,
I
agree.
It's
it's
almost
inconceivable
that
you
would
not
operate
it
for
12
months,
but
in
the
event
that
something
inconceivable
happened
and
you
did
not
operate
it
for
12
months.
I
think
it
I
think
is
equally
inconceivable
that
the
city
of
Aitkin
would
not
grant
you
a
special
exception
to
continue
operating.
A
And
you
know
what
that's
gonna
be
outside
anything
like
that,
but
you
know
as
well
as
I'm
sitting
here.
That's
not
gonna
mean
anything
but
I
mean
I
I
know
I
can
I've
been
around
eight
him
for
60
years.
You
know,
I
was
I,
was
here
then,
and
and
I
I
can't
I
can't
obviously
I
don't
I'm
not
probably
not
going
to
be
here
and
not
going
to
be
ruling
on
that
I
think
that's
clear,
but
I
don't
think
it
would
be
an
issue.
T
T
F
So,
currently,
again
kind
of
within
a
limited
area
that
the
downtown
business
that
it
was
in
under
the
current
fiscal
year,
there
were
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
set
aside
for
it,
total
and
and
currently
where
it
exists
in
in
the
Union.
You
need
the
railroad
cut
to
Barnwell
the
industry
to
Pendleton
a
vast
majority
of
businesses
have
that
were
interest
in
the
program
have
exhausted
the
use
of
those
funds.
There's
a
few
storefronts
that
are
still
around.
That
would
still
have
some
eligibility,
but
those
have
kind
of
grown
less
and
less
over
the
years.
W
I'm
lieutenant
April
tiller
with
the
Salvation
Army,
my
passion
is
the
shelter
my
biggest
concern
is
if
we
did
not
operate
than
the
event
that
we
had
to
do
some
major
overhaul
to
the
building.
If
we
came
before
the
council
and
said
simply,
you
know
we're
ready
to
reopen
our
doors,
we're
ready
to
operate
as
a
shelter
and
projective
ly.
If
downtown
turns
into
this
beautiful
residential
area,
the
cute
little
houses
start
popping
up.
W
You've
got
mom
dad
three
children
in
the
backyard
of
the
shelter
and
I
have
a
hundred
and
fifty
people
who
have
just
recently
moved
to
the
downtown
area.
In
this
room
telling
me
I
no
longer
want
to
look
outside
my
front
door
and
see
the
the
women
that
go
in
and
out
of
the
shelter
during
the
soup
kitchen
from
12:00
to
1:00,
because
that
line
is
of
seventy-five
to
a
hundred
and
twenty-five
people
we
feed
daily,
and
so
obviously
the
shelter
is
a
small
building.
W
We
can't
fit
all
of
them
in
there
at
once,
so
they
line
up
outside
the
door.
We
have
44
beds
inside
that
shelter,
meaning
44
men,
women
and
children
live
inside.
That
building
and
they're
gonna
be
told
that
there's
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
go
there
anymore
because
they
don't
like
the
fact
that
they
have
to
go
to
the
corner,
because
we
don't
know
how
smoking
on
our
property
and
they're
smoking
on
the
street
side,
every
15
20
minutes
I
mean
it's
a
revolving
door,
but
I'm
just
kind
of
the
outside-of-the-box
thinker.
W
So
when
we're
coming
back
in
here
to
say
you
know
we
had
something
happen.
We
had
to
do
this
now,
we're
ready
to
open
our
doors
and
then
I've
got
all
these
people
saying
we
didn't.
We
no
longer
want
the
shelter
there
and
so
we're
just
trying
to
prevent
that
from
ever
becoming
a
problem
or
even
a
question.
So
we're
just
asking
that,
if
we're
in
support,
we
know
that
the
area
needs
to
be
clean,
though,
and
we
know
that
things
need
to
happen
in
downtown
so
that
we
can
invite
more
people
in.
D
W
Would
really
seriously
have
to
ask
the
community
I
mean
to
open
up
their
church
doors
and
and
allow
us
to
operate
within
them
or
even
I
know
that
you,
with
the
emergency
management
system
we've
opened
up
emergency
shelters
for
such
a
occasion
when
Hurricane
Matthew
went
through
here
and
I
think
that
that
would
be,
and
of
course
we
have
our
church
on
Gale
Avenue.
So
that
would
be
another
opportunity
for
them
as
well.
W
I
mean
not
that
I
want
to
say
that
something
like
that
would
happen,
but
I
just
can't
close
the
door
to
the
idea
that
you
know
the
building
may
burn
down.
God
forbid,
you
know
and
it'd
take
a
long
time
for
those
you
know
for
us
to
raise
the
funds,
get
the
insurance
everything
to
happen
and
if
it
took
12
months
to
rebuild
that
building
back
to
where
we
needed
it
to
be,
we'd
have
to
stand
before
and-
and
god
only
knows
what
we
have
I.
D
L
L
A
D
I
tend
to
agree
with
the
Chairman
that
I
can't
imagine
the
city
at
any
I
understand
your
concerns
about
neighborhood
changes,
because
I've
seen
a
lot
of
things
turned
down
because
of
the
not
in
my
backyard.
People
I
understand
that,
but
I
also
understand
the
historic
significance
of
the
shelter
and
I
believe
the
city
of
Aitkin
does
too
and.
O
By
remaining
under
the
G
B
designation,
you're,
essentially
saying
that
you
hope
that
this
neighborhood
transforms
into
the
court
into
a
corridor
like
whiskey,
Road
and
I.
For
one
don't
want
to
see
that
happen.
I,
don't
think
anybody
in
this
room
wants
to
see
that
happen.
That
would
put
out
more
people
than
it
would
help.
O
The
area
has
been
zoned
for
general
business
long
enough
to
tell
that
G
V
properties
have
no
financial
interests
in
building
on
empty
lots
in
the
area.
They've
had
plenty
of
time
to
step
forward
and
build
G
B
properties
in
this
area,
and
they
haven't
so
redesignating
this
into
a
downtown
business
district
would
allow
for
people
to
no
longer
have
to
worry
about
their
homes
being
turned
over
into
a
G,
B
resident
and
I.
O
O
So
by
changing
the
ordinance,
you
are
allowing
people
to
recoup
the
funds
or
bring
together
the
family
in
order
to
restore
the
homes
that
are
in
the
current
G
B
area
that
aren't
allowed
to
there's
plenty
of
homes
there
that
are
on
the
demo,
200
Q
that
are
going
to
be
demolished
and
then
potentially
never
be
rebuilt
as
single-family
homes.
Again,
and
that's
that's
a
disservice
to
this
neighborhood,
there's
so
many
homes
in
there.
That
could
be
transformed
and
and
reviewed
just
like
on
Kershaw
street.
That
is
zoned
for
downtown
business.
O
That
is
currently
being
turned
around,
but
people
aren't
able
to
because
once
they
go
to
tax
sale,
they
can't
be
bought
and
turned
back
into
single-family
homes
and
I.
Think
that's
a
crime
just
to
see
all
these
empty
lots
and
boarded
out
homes
where
people
have
the
intention,
the
money,
the
money
and
the
mindset
to
restore
the
homes
they
get
to
the
door
and
realize
that
they're
bidding
on
a
property
that
could
never
be
turned
back
into
a
home.
So
I
think
a
lot
more.
People
need
to
understand
that
as
part
of
this
yeah.
A
A
Not
trying
to
show
you
just
shove
something
down
people's
throat
we're
trying
to
respond
to
what
we
perceive
as
a
need
in
the
community
as
brought
to
us
by
the
community
members
right
now.
That
may
not
be
the
way
it's
coming
across,
but
I
assure
you.
We
have
no
desire
sitting
up
here
to
jam
our
theories
on
to
anybody
right,
we're
responding
to
quotes
and
comments
and
public
input
that
we
got
such
as
yours.
Well,.
O
The
other,
the
other
thing
that
I'd
like
to
bring
about
is
the
fact
that
I
think
a
lot
of
this.
This
area
has
been
just
neglected
by
by
property
enforcers
and
code
enforcers,
just
because
of
the
sheer
amount
of
non-conforming
properties
in
this
area.
So
I
mean
how
can
you
fix
one
issue
if
it's
already
non-conforming
going
and
putting
some
sort
of
placard
on
somebody's
door
saying
your
grass
is
I?
O
Well,
it
doesn't
matter
because
the
house
isn't
supposed
to
be
a
single
family
property
to
begin
with,
it's
supposed
to
be
a
drive-through
or
a
tire
shop.
So
you
know
to
say
that
this
neighborhood
is
neglected
is
is
an
understatement.
I
mean
these
people
are
not
being
served
properly
because
you
know
there's
so
much
misinformation
on
this
campaign
that
you
know
people
can't
even
see
that
you're
just
trying
to
bring
it
back
to
what
it
is
already
so
I
think
people
should
thank.
A
T
T
Just
wanted
to
clarify
that
that
this
board
has
always
been
supportive
to
the
Salvation
Army
I
know
many
of
the
folks
here
and
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
be
greeted
and
welcomed.
So
I
just
don't
want
the
wrong
idea
to
get
out
that
this
board
is
in
any
way
trying
to
harm
the
salvation
of
trying
to
go
and
close
the
salvation
diet
down.
That's
that's
not
the
intention
that
we
were
trying
to
get
across
at
all.
We
simply
wanted
to
bring
the.
A
R
Effecting
operations
we're
just
being
cautious
around
what
our
point
is
we
placed
in
front
of
you
a
request:
is
you
consider
rezoning?
Just
don't
include
us
not
excluding
clue,
Sam
Ryan,
you
made
the
comment
about
spot
zoning
in
the
work
session
and
I've
done
a
little
bit
of
that
area.
I.
You
may
have
to
look
into
it.
Mr.
chairman,
but
I
think
if
you're
broadening
the
scope
of
zoning
and
don't
include
a
parcel,
that's
not
spot
zoning.
If
you've
got
an
existing,
you
want
to
pick
out
a
particular
horse
when
the
treaty
from
DB.
F
X
X
So
my
family
and
I
moved
into
the
area
in
2011
we
like
living
there
think
that
the
Salvation
Army
is
an
asset
to
the
Aiken
community
and
as
a
homeowner
in
this
area,
I
support
the
change
in
Jim.
Zoning
and
I
ask
all
of
you
to
foods.
From
a
balanced
perspective.
I
saw
some
of
the
the
letters
in
the
packet
from
some
of
the
business
owners
in
the
area,
support
them,
but
I
think
a
balanced
perspective
in
terms
of
the
potential
good
that
could
come
eventually
evolve
out
of
this.
X
A
Y
Y
A
Y
Y
Y
There's
more
internet
some
filament
businesses
now
than
there
are
retail
businesses.
We
need
more
warehouses
and
sales
front
areas,
so
I
feel
like.
We
really
need
to
concentrate
on
light
industrial
property
because
I
think
it's
jobs
in
this
neighborhood.
It's
jobs
that
people
can
walk
to.
I
do
have
one
big
concern
and
I
since
I
live
in
this
and
work
in
this
area.
We're
in
a
food
desert
and
in
light
industrial
restaurants
are
not
allowed.
So
I
almost
feel
like.
We
need
to
look
at
light
industrial
and
say
how
can
we
improve
that?
Y
Not
have
to
go
downtown
and
spend
an
hour
and
a
half
trying
to
get
lunch.
It's
not
working
out
the
only
person
and
delivers
down
there
is
Jimmy
John's.
So
the
other
comment
I
have
about
the
Salvation
Army.
Is
that
the
smoking
thing
we
smoke
on
my
front
porch
I,
understand
that
y'all
don't
smoke
on
your
property,
but
we
do
have
a
Parkway
plan,
and
if
the
parkways
were
improved
in
this
area,
then
there's
places
for
people
just
sit
and
enjoy
themselves
during
the
day.
Y
So
I
think
it
will
only
improve
this
I
mean
I'm
excited
about
this
change.
I
think
we've
needed
it
for
a
long
time
and
peaceful
coexistence
where
a
rising
tide
lifts
all
boats
and
businesses
have
affordable
retail
services.
The
other
thing
that's
missing,
that
I
would
love
to
see
is
where
you
could
live
in
the
house
and
have
a
small
shop
in
your
backyard
like
an
accounting,
business
or.
D
Z
My
name
is
Laurie
and
my
mom
may
be
present
in
this
5:17
stop
slang
and
my
concern
is
like
I
reckon
like
Salvation
Army
was
talking
about.
Cuz
I
had
put
in
a
lot
of
money
into
my
own
old
fence,
it's
torn
down
and
it's
like
something
catastrophic
happens
and
mixing.
You
know
everything
is
messed
up.
What
happened
is
that
one
old
tree
that
was
in
kind
of
side
of
the
house,
it
came
down
just
like
that,
just
a
flip
and
then
not
the
hole
where
I
had
all-defensive
sister
just
came
just
like
that.
Z
A
stump
just
came
up
just
like
that,
a
small
Tony
and
it
just
tore
everything
down
right,
wheats.
Nobody
could
go
up
through
that
way
and
then
it
also
when
they're
treating
now
but
I
also
pulled
up
roots
and
stuff
Oh
roots
and
stuff,
and
it
messed
up
the
water
line
and
plumbing
lines
messed
up.
A
whole
lot
of
stuff
got
to
sit
here
to
come
in.
It
was
just
yeah,
I
hate
it,
but
the
railroad
also
has
a
part
of
the
land.
Z
S
D
F
S
Z
AA
AB
AB
It
was
real
concerning
to
me
that
he
said
it
about
the
people
not
staying
in
the
house.
Just
because
the
house
looks
like
no
one
stays
in
it.
They
may
stay
in
it
see.
I,
have
cameras
around
my
house
over
there.
So
I
see
when
the
cold
enforces
like
this
man
said
it
was
kind
of
less
code
enforces,
is
not
laxed.
AB
Just
because
you
don't
see
somebody
in
the
house
there
may
look
abandoned,
doesn't
mean
they're,
not
looking
at
you
they're,
not
in
house,
because
I
have
to
work.
We
pay
over
almost
seven
thousand
dollars
in
taxes
a
year,
that's
City
and
County,
and
a
little
bit
text
on
that.
We
used
to
have
the
Coco
Cabana
building.
AB
Burgers
and
fours
codes,
so
my
thing
is:
I,
don't
want
the
Texas
go
up
no
mo
and
just
remember
just
because
you
don't
see
somebody
in
the
building
don't
mean
that
they
don't
state.
Oh
I,
see
people
come
up
through
my
yard
and
stuff
I
sit
in
the
house
because
I'm
the
person
I
like
coming
out
I
have
to
work
to
pay
them
something
all
over
the
text.
That's.
A
F
In
this
area
we
have
not,
we
have.
We
have
not
disallowed
somebody
to
continue
to
use
a
single-family
homes
in
the
two
and
a
half
years,
I've
been
here,
there's
a
number
of
ways
that
you
can
prove
continuous
use
of
that
residence
its
own
it.
You
can't
have
to
go
above
and
beyond
to
prove
that
somebody
isn't
living
in
a
residence
to
be
able
to
disallow
that
use.
So,
but
again,
this
this
zone
change
would
rectify
that
situation.
It
wouldn't
be
a
question
anymore.
AB
D
AB
D
D
AB
D
AC
AC
AC
F
Yeah
because
the
business
hasn't
been
vacant
and
there
hasn't
been
massif,
there
have
been
different
reconstruction
or
mediation
activities
taking
place
over
the
course
of
that
time.
But
if
it
hasn't
for
a
period
of
12
months,
it
would
likely,
if
you
have
to
do
it,
either
benefit
from
this
zone
change
proposal
by
allowing
it
by
right
or
it
would
have
the
opportunity
as
a
to
come
under
a
special
exception
through
the
Board
of
Zoning
Appeals
as
the
as
the
light
industrial
zoning.
A
S
V
P
To
recommend
to
council
that
we
approve
the
recommendation,
however.
I
do
want
to
potentially
move
the
corridor
from
the
east
side
from
Beaufort
Street
to
Williamsburg
and
eliminate
the
Li
portion
of
this
until
we
have
some
further
discussion
and
really
to
look
at
it
from
a
holistic
standpoint,
from
case
studies
etc.
I
don't
think
in
this
particular
process
we've
given
enough
emphasis
of
what
the
Li
could
or
could
not
be
and
the
differences
that
it
could
change
in
that
area.
