Okay,
welcome
to
the
April
11th
2023
City
vacant
Planning
Commission
six
o'clock
meeting
before
we
get
started
I'm
going
to
read
the
guidelines
for
public
comments
during
the
city
of
Aitkin
Planning
Commission
meetings,
meetings
are
public
forums
in
which
many
opinions
are
expressed
in
the
business
of
the
city
must
be
conducted
as
such.
Disciplined
honorable,
profession
and
professional
decorum
is
Paramount.
A
Courteous
and
respectful
communication
is
required
during
public
comment
periods
of
the
meeting.
All
questions
and
statements
from
the
public
shall
be
directed
to
the
chairman.
If
you
wish
to
speak,
raise
your
hand
and
the
chairman
will
recognize
you,
please
approach
the
podium
and
state
your
name
and
address
in
order
to
allow
an
opportunity
for
everyone
who
wishes
to
address
the
commission.
Speakers
should
limit
their
comments
to
the
agenda
item
or
application
being
discussed.
A
Each
speaker
will
be
given
five
minutes
to
address
an
issue
and
may
only
address
an
issue.
Once
unless
questions
from
the
commission
are
posed
to
the
speaker,
we
will
have
timers
there's
a
timer
here,
that's
not
the
only
one,
and
once
you
reach
four
minutes.
I'll
raise
my
hand
just
to
give
you
an
indication,
because
I
don't
want
to
have
to
cut
you
off.
So
please
be
cognizant
of
the
five
minutes.

Evening
my
name
is
Will
Buchanan
and
my
address
is
Road
Aiken
South,
Carolina,
29803
I'm.
Doing
the
civil
engineering
for
the
site
aspect
of
this
project
I
think
her
pretty
much
summed
up
what
he
intends
to
do
with
the
property
just
wanted
to
address
any
questions
from
an
engineering
standpoint.
If
there
are
any
what's.
F
F
We
have
to
work
through
a
process
through
the
FAA.
It's
form
7640,
it's
just
a
process
that
you
have
to
work
through.
We
don't
anticipate
any
issues
with
that
I
think
the
only
implication
is
going
to
be.
The
lighting
that
goes
on
the
building
is
going
to
have
to
be
in
compliance
with
what
they
require
being
so
close
to
the
runway.
Thank
you.
Any.
A
C
Here,
but
both
the
memorandum
and
the
applicant
today
refer
to
this
as
a
warehouse,
yet
the
city
background
and
our
writings
refer
to
it
as
a
storage
facility.
I
just
would
like
to
have
that
changed.
I,
don't
want
there
to
be
any
confusion
for
the
public
as
to
whether
or
not
this
is
a
storage
facility
versus
a
warehouse
we'll.
A
A
J
We
are
asking
for
this
to
be
rezoned
because
she
told
me
to
he:
there
are
actually
two
buildings
on
this
operator
catering
building,
a
business
in
the
large
building.
The
small
one
has
been
I,
don't
know
bait
shop
a
little
bit
of
everything
else,
and
we
had
someone
come
to
us
that
wanted
to
put
an
office
there
trying
to
clean
the
area
up
and
I
think
that
entire
block
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
potential.
J
The
city
now
is
maintaining
sidewalks
and
that
sort
of
thing,
because
the
state
and
the
county,
wouldn't
they
kind
of
they
kind
of
skipped
over
that
to
the
Crossland
Park
area,
but
now
I
think
they
picked
up
the
maintenance
and
everything
all
the
way
to
probably
Rutland
Drive
I
would
imagine
they
crawls
apart,
but
anyway
there
is
going
to
be
an
office
building
put
in
it's
my
understanding,
the
Old.
Nobody
here
is
old
enough
to
remember
the
old
lumber
company
that
was
on
the
property.
J
Let's
see,
I
guess
north
of
the
railroad
tracks
right
there.
It's
my
understanding
that
there
is
an
office
building
going
on
that,
so
it
was
suggested.
I
had
to
get
a
variance
because
of
the
light
industrial
zoning
to
operate
the
catering
business,
but
it
was
suggested
by
the
planning
department
for
me
just
to
rezone
the
whole
piece
of
property
to
General
business.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,.
A
K
L
A
A
A
K
My
name
is
Kevin
pulis
address
is
701
Brockington
Lane,
Florence,
South,
Carolina,
29501
I
am
with
the
tar
group
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
developer,
who
is
C4
c-store
Holdings
I
will
be
the
civil
engineer
for
this
project.
So
just
a
brief
background.
We
have
a
4
650
square
foot,
seven
eleven
with
a
multi-point
fuel
dispensers
for
autos
on
the
southern
part
of
the
site.
The
northern
part
of
the
site
is
four
commercial
fueling
Lanes
just
for
18
wheelers.
K
K
We
are
seeking
city
services
for
water
and
sewer
we're
currently
working
through
with
County
recycling
approval
and,
if
I
made
just
one
comment,
I'd
like
to
make
with
the
staff
report
I
know,
there's
mention
of
cross
access
to
the
parcel
to
the
north.
I
would
like
to
point
out
that,
with
that
being
a
truck
only
entrance,
we
would
ask
that
you
consider
replacing
waving
quests
specifically
for
that
being
truck.
K
Typically,
7-Eleven
will
separate
their
sites
so
that
there
is
a
specific
Auto
entrance
and
a
specific
truck
entrance
in
this
situation.
Given
access
points
with
DOT,
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion:
Through
The,
Years
From.
What
I
understand
on
this
site?
We
we
are
really
only
able
to
get
that
one
full
access
point,
so
we
would
request
that
you
would
at
least
consider
waiving
that
cross
access,
given
the
fact
that
it's
purely
for
trucks-
and
we
you
know,
potential
safety
issues-
are
not
even
full
access
necessarily
for
traffic
that
would
be
trying
to
exit
there.
K
Them
I
do
yes,
sir
I
do
I
understand
the
the
request,
I
think,
given
the
situation
of
what
we're,
what
we're
looking
for
in
terms
of
usability
for
that
northern
part
of
the
property
that
really
won't
be
envisioned
for
vehicular
use,
necessarily
so
I
do
understand
the
intent
of
Staff.
Making
that
request.
I
would
just
point
out
that
it
is
it's
really
for
commercial
vehicles.
Only
there's
really
no
intent
for
Autos
to
be
to
be
up
there.
I
B
I
Would
you
consider
potentially
another
stub
out
to
maybe
you
know
another
portion
of
the
property
because
it
looks
like
you
have
and
I'm
just
asking
why
you're
here
it
looks
as
though
you've
got
undeveloped
property
all
the
way
around,
in
other
words,
to
to
the
possible
stub
out
to
the
East
Side.
Yes,.
K
I
K
H
K
K
A
K
A
C
Not
sure,
actually,
one
quick
question
I
apologize
for
you
walking
away
with
the
seven
spots
for
the
for
the
trucks.
Are
you
guys
anticipating
I
mean?
Would
you
would
you
refer
to
this
as
like
a
truck
stop
like?
Do
you
anticipate
them
spending
the
night
there
is
that,
where
you're
going
to
kind
of
be
advertising
for
that.
K
Etc
yeah,
that's
a
great
question.
Actually
this
comes
up
a
lot
or
no
showers.
There
are
no,
it's
just
normal
bathroom
facilities,
so
this
is
not
technically
a
truck.
Stop.
It's
just
areas
for
trucks
to
fuel
and
park,
temporarily
I
believe
they
are
signed
for
a
time
limit
that
you
can
be
parked
I
believe,
but.
M
A
M
My
name
is
528
Edgefield
Road,
North,
Augusta,
South,
Carolina
I,
like
the
fact
that
they
are
doing
this,
because
this
will
also
help
develop
the
other
side
of
the
interstate
okay,
so
I'm
completely
in
favor
of
this
project.
Okay,
I
have
one
property
around
here:
I've
been
trying
to
get
some
development
here
so
that
we
can
also
invest
in
the
assay
we
have
there.
So
this
is
great.
Thank
you.
A
L
A
A
A
A
M
M
Yes,
we're
permitted
to
do
to
build
like
1400
square
foot
home
there
because
of
the
setbacks,
but
talk
looked
at
a
properties
around
and
they
are
nice
properties,
so
we're
going
to
do
something
better
than
that,
so
we're
trying
to
build
about
a
2400
square
foot
single
family
home
there
and
they
asked
they
suggested
that
I
get
a
result
so
that
we
can
build
a
better
size
home
to
complement
some
of
the
other
properties
around
it.
So
that's
our
intention
very.
M
A
E
A
A
N
N
I
just
acquired
the
home
I
literally
closed
on
it
on
March
10th,
so
I
am
not
fully
barely
one
month
in
as
this
hearing
is
proceeding,
I
have
had
the
opportunity
on
two
occasions,
one
via
phone
another
in
person
to
speak
with
Mr
nambi.
Here
primarily,
you
know.
Obviously,
I
have
some
concerns
about
the
programming
of
this
particular
parcel.
N
I
have
four
young
children
ages,
eight
and
under
and
one
more
on
the
way
they
are
walking,
students
to
Saint
Mary's
and
one
in
St,
John's
and-
and
so
you
know,
when
I
purchased
this
home,
the
parcel
was
I
think
still
in
transition,
I'm,
not
sure
of
the
exact
date
of
Mr
Navy's
acquisition,
but
I
believe
it's
fairly.
Recent
I
did
approach
him
and
ask
if
he
had
any
interest
in
selling
to
me
so
that
I
could
move
my
fence
line
over.
N
I've
worked
in
Community
Development
for
a
good
number
of
years,
I'm
a
transplant
from
Yonkers,
New,
York
I've
seen
things
happen
quite
fluidly
I'm,
not
saying
particularly
that
I
am
opposed
to
this
particular
project,
but
I
certainly
do
not
want
anything
there.
That
would
diminish
my
new
acquisition
and
certainly
don't
want
anything
going
in
that
parcel
that
would
bring
undue
traffic.
N
Well,
I'm
not
saying
I'm
opposed
I
I
do
think
it
would
not
be
out
of
order,
and
perhaps
it
is
because
I
don't
know
how
the
processes
work
here
with
Planning
Commission,
to
give
me
and
perhaps
Mr
Namby
a
little
more
time
to
vet
this
and
me
a
little
more
time
to
get
my
head
around
this.
In
the
meantime,
one
thing
I
could
say
and
I
could
have
spoken
with
Mr
Namby
privately,
as
we
were
seated
next
to
each
other.
N
To
date
the
parcel
is
severely
overgrown
as
of
right
now,
and
you
know,
I
I
would
hope.
Well
put
it
this
way.
My
six-year-old
son
said
to
me
dad
whoever
owns
that
should
really
cut
the
grass
now
that's
a
six-year-old
he's
astute,
certainly
willing
to
be
a
good
neighbor
to
Mr
nambi
in
his
endeavors,
but
again,
I
think
what
I
put
before
the
commission
here
is.
N
Having
acquired
the
property
for
466
thousand
dollars
recently,
it's
not
an
insignificant
purchase,
have
no
interest
in
forestalling
better
development
of
the
community
because,
as
I've
just
moved
in
I
think
it
could
use
that.
But
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
Mr,
Namby
and
I
and
his
intentions
and
whatever
the
intentions
of
the
Planning,
Commission
and
Community
Development
in
that
District
work
for
everyone.
Thank.

So
when
it
comes
to
you
know,
protecting
home
value-
or
you
know,
family
lifestyle
Etc,
technically
speaking,
a
commercial
property
could
go
in
there
right
now,
with
limited
professional
I
mean
it
would
have
to
abide
by
LP
zoning
laws,
but
it
still
could
be
a
you
know:
a
commercial
property,
so
I
think
this
coming
into
residential
2400
square
foot
house.
That
is
much
much
better
for
the
neighborhood
at
large
compared
to
what
is
currently
zoned
for.
A
You
can
speak
to
us
after
the
after
the
meeting.
Thank
you.
Okay.
We
have
a
motion
a
second
any
other
questions.
Comments
on
the
commission
all
right.
All
those
in
favor
raise
your
hand
like
sign
a
post,
and
this
application
passes
unanimously
if
you'll,
sir,
if
you
want
to
stick
around
until
after
the
meeting,
we
can
certainly
discuss
anything
with
you.
