City of Charleston City Plan, Neighborhood Leader Virtual Gathering 7/7/2020
B
I
had
to
get
permission
to
be
unmuted
there.
Thank
you,
chloe.
B
And
eric
so
glad
to
have
you
all

the
team

who
else
we
got
here?
I
see
all
the
planning
department
folks
now.
Well,
the
other
guests.
Will
everybody
be
on
hollywood
squares
or
they'll
just
be?
Will
they
be
visible
as
they
sign
on.
D
And
meg,
as
well
as
we're
coming
on
here,
give
us
an
idea
about
how
many
folks
we
have
confirmed.
A
We
had
over
30
people
rsvp
and
it
looks
like
they
are
slowly.
Half
of
them
have
filed
into
the
waiting
room.
A
A
A
E
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name
is
thatika
robinson-
and
I
am
here
with
this
amazing
team
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
I'm
your
host
at
mc
for
this
evening
and
wanted
to
welcome
you
to
please
put
your
name
in
your
neighborhood
and
as
and
the
time
frame
that
you've
been
living
in
charleston
into
the
chat,
so
we'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
get
engaged
and
warm
and
comfortable
in
that
space,
and
we
also
have
our
team
that
will
also
be
dropping
their
information
in
the
chat
as
well,
so
feel
free
to
conversate
and
dialogue
with
one
another.
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
Thank
you
to
everyone
who
has
who
has
put
their
information
in
the
chat.
I
see
that
eric
is
very
excited
woo
indeed,
so.
Thank
you
for
adding
your
information
in
the
box.
We
appreciate
it
it's
good
to
see
how
long
everybody
has
lived
in
the
charleston.
E
A
E
E
All
right,
so
I
think
we,
let's
see
we'll,
wait
a
couple
more
minutes.
I
think
we're.
Let's
see
how
many
we're
at
compared
to
okay,
we're
looking
pretty
good,
we'll
give
about
two
more
minutes
to
let
a
couple
folks
come
in
and
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
shift
into
our
agenda,
because
we
do
have
a
tight
agenda
for
this.
E
Evening
for
those
of
you
that
are
just
coming
in,
we
just
want
to
welcome
you
on
behalf
of
the
city
and
the
consulting
team
and
everyone
else
on
the
call
we
welcome
you
to.
Please
add
your
name,
your
neighborhood,
that
you
represent
as
well
as
how
long
you
have
lived
in
the
charleston
area,
and
we
also
welcome
you
to
dialogue
and
have
conversation
with
those
you
recognize
in
the
space.
Our
team
has
also
shared
and
introduced
themselves
for
how
long
they've
lived
in
the
community.
E
So
we
want
to
make
this
as
an
intimate
process
as
possible
or
engagement
time
as
possible
in
lieu
of
the
fact
that
we
are
virtual.
So
if
you
see
someone
in
the
chat
that
you
know,
please
do
say,
hello
definitely
engage
and
have
a
conversation
and
we're
gonna
get
started.
I'm
gonna
give
us
like
one
more
minute
and
then
I
think
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
get.
E
E
Okay,
thank
you,
chloe
all
right,
okay!
Well,
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
get
started
this
evening.
Thank
you
for
everyone
who
has
put
their
name
and
neighborhood
and
how
long
you
live
in
the
charleston
area
into
the
box.
Thank
you
so
much
that
allows
us
to
just
go
ahead
and
you
know
get
comfortable
and
just
see
who's
in
the
space.
So
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
get
started.
E
E
Evening,
next,
okay,
so
with
any
virtual
conversation,
we
understand
the
challenges
that
we're
in,
but
we
just
want
to
just
state
a
code
of
contact.
Excuse
me
code
of
conduct
that
we'd
ask
you
to
please
just
adhere
to.
We
want
you
to
participate
and
we
want
you
to
as
much
as
possible
minimize
the
disruption
you
have
over
the
next
hour
that
we
have
with
you
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
the
most
positive
experience.
E
We
ask
that
you
one
be
patient
with
each
other
and
your
technology
as
we
all
shift.
We
have
some
people
on
the
phone
and
we
have
some
people
who
are
on
video,
so
understanding
that
we
just
want
to
ask
that
we
all
be
patient
with
each
other.
We
encourage
you
to
use
the
chat
box
first
to
ask
any
questions.
All
of
you
are
muted
at
this
time.
So
we
ask
that
you
would
just
put
your
question
in
the
box
and
communicate
with
the
to
communicate
with
speakers
and
the
other
attendees.
E
E
The
meeting
hosts
will
unmute
attendees
microphones
as
needed.
So
when
we
get
to
our
q
a
we'll
do
a
couple
of
stops
along
the
way,
so
we'll
unmute,
as
someone
has
a
question
and
we'll
create
that
time
for
you
to
definitely
vocalize
whatever
your
thoughts
are,
and
if
you
look
on
your
phones
or
on
your
videos,
there
is
a
hand
raised
to
speak.
So
we
ask
that
you
just
use
that
function.
E
If
you
are,
if
you
have
a
question
or
you'd
like
to
say
something
and
we'll
unmeet
you,
if
you're
on
your
phone,
it's
star
9
on
the
phone
that
you're
calling
in
and
then
it'll
do
the
hand
up,
and
then
someone
will
recognize
you
and
bring
you
into
the
space
and
just
want
to
note.
This
meeting
is
being
recorded
and
it's
streamed
on
youtube
at
this
time,
so
feel
free
to
turn
off
your
video
if
you
prefer
not
to
be
recorded.
Otherwise,
you
are
being
recorded
at
this
time.
E
So
for
our
e
for
our
agenda
for
this
evening
we
have
our
welcome,
which
you
have
already
done-
we're
going
to
have
remarks
from
mayor
tecklenberg
we're
going
to
have
the
introduction
to
the
city
plan
and
then
we're
going
to
do
meet
the
team
so
you'll
meet
everyone
involved
in
this
whole
process,
we'll
walk
through
the
city
plan
engagement
schedule.
We
will
hear
from
the
parks
and
recreation
master
plan
for
that
team.
Regarding
that
we'll
have
some
q
a
and
then
we'll
have
some
closing
remarks.
E
B
Well,
thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Am
I
unmuted
okay?
So
thank
you
all
for
being
with
us
this
evening
and
thank
you
more
so
for
being
active
in
our
city
and
your
neighborhood,
and
all
you
do
to
make
charleston
such
a
special
and
great
place.
As
you
know,
state
law
requires
every
10
years
that
we
do
an
update
of
the
city's
comprehensive
plan.
But
frankly
this
year
I
look
on
our
efforts
as
being
a
little
different
that
we're
not
just
updating
a
plan.
B
We
really
have
the
opportunity
to
recreate
our
city's
plan
going
forward
to
impact
our
future
and
future
generations,
and
that's
one
reason
why
we're
even
changing
the
name
and
I
think,
the
last
rendition
10
years
ago
they
called
it
the
charleston
century
five
plan
now
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
I've
never
figured
out
why
they
called
it
that
because,
as
you
all
know,
it's
our
350th
of
the
year
birthday.
So
even
if
you
went
by
that,
it
would
be
at
century
3.5
right
rather
than
century
five.
There
must
have
been
some
good
reason
for
it.
B
So
so
we're
simply
calling
our
new
plan
going
forward
to
be
the
charleston
city
plan
and
we
really
have
an
opportunity
again
not
just
to
modify
and
make
small
changes
but
really
think
outside
the
box.
B
Affordable
housing
is
a
big
issue
in
our
city,
and
you
know,
let's
be
creative
and
think
of
the
ways
that
we
can
impact
affordability
such
a
need
in
our
city
of
flooding.
We
all
know
and
drainage
is
an
issue
think
about
land
use
and
where
we
should
be
building.
A
lot
of
these
concepts
have
been
discussed
over
the
last
few
years
with
the
dutch
dialogues
and
other
initiatives.
B
This
is
the
opportunity
that
we
have
as
a
city
to
to
to
put
these
good
ideas
into
place.
You
know
it's
kind
of
an
everyday
thing,
maybe
at
city
council,
when
a
new
zoning
comes
up
and
donna
can
attest
to
this
she's
on
our
planning
commission
as
well.
You
know
when,
when
a
recommendation
comes
forward
to
city
council
for
approval
for
rezoning,
what
what
is
it
that
the
planning
department
always
says
they
comment
that
this
is
congruent
or
part
of
the
century,
five
or
the
city
plan.
B
The
long-term
plan,
this
this
plan
really
has
impact
to
the
future
of
our
city
and
where
we're
going
so
I
I
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
I
encourage
you
not
just
to
participate
in
this,
but
to
be
leaders,
you
know
our
city
and
your
neighborhoods
better
than
anyone
else
you
bring
so
much
to
the
table.
In
terms
of
your
knowledge,
your
experience,
your
ability
to
network
with
those
in
your
neighborhoods
and
this
year,
it's
probably
more
important
than
ever
in
this
unprecedented
time
with
the
coronavirus
we're
here
tonight.
B
You
know
in
a
virtual
meeting,
rather
than
all
getting
together
somewhere
in
some
ways
it's
more
convenient,
but
in
other
ways
it's
more
challenging
to
get
folks
to
participate
and
be
part
of
this
effort,
it's
so
important
for
our
city's
future.
So
I
I
urge
you,
in
a
sense
of
co,
partnership
and
collaboration
for
your
involvement
and
your
engagement
with
our
citizens
and
your
neighborhoods,
and
so
I
could
shout
out
to
staff
and
and
all,
but
I
think,
that's
part
of
the
agenda
as
we
go
forward
that
everyone
will
be
introduced.
B
Jacob
will
be
doing
some
of
that,
but
but
thanks
to
sue
griffin
and
meg
thompson
for
your
work
with
our
neighborhoods
and
you'll
also
meet
community
solutions,
consulting
some
of
our
consultants
that
are
helping
us
with
this
effort.
It's
going
to
be
a
great
experience
this
year.
I
know
we've
had
some
other
challenges,
so
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
something
that's
really
positive
and
helps
shape
the
future
of
this
great
city.
B
So
with
that
being
said,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
right
on
over
to
jacob
lindsey,
head
of
our
planning
and
preservation
and
sustainability
department,
jacob.
D
Mayor,
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
with
us.
This
is
a
really
special
event
that
we,
we
normally
would
do
in
person,
and
I
think
it's
it's
a
different
kind
of
event
this
year,
but
I'm
glad
that
everyone
can
still
be
together
in
this
virtual
way
and
to
talk
about
the
city
plan.
So
today
that
was
a
great
introduction
and
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
just
take
a
few
minutes.
Just
very
briefly.
First
of
all
to
introduce
myself
I'm
jacob.
D
I
have
the
incredible
privilege
of
leading
our
planning
department
working
every
day
with
the
mayor
and
our
city
council
and
the
phenomenal
group
of
staff
and
consultants
that
we
have
to
do
this
work,
and
I
think
that
we
come
to
work
every
day.
Thinking
this
knowing
this,
but
for
those
of
you
who
are
neighborhood
leaders
and
for
the
citizens
of
our
city,
I
think
it's
important
to
to
emphasize
that
that
the
staff
of
this
city
are
public
servants.
We
work
for
you,
I
work
for
you
and
this
work
is
about
your
quality
of
life.
D
Now
we
are
embarking
on
this
planning
process
that
the
mayor
just
mentioned,
and
it
is
called
the
city
plan
and
and
the
the
whole
purpose
of
doing
this
is
to
think
about
the
future
of
the
city
of
charleston,
and
we
know
that
we
live
in
some
really
exceptional
times.
This
is
unlike
any
time
I've
ever
lived
through
there,
there's
a
lot
going
on
locally
and
in
this
country,
and
what
we
are
asking
everyone
to
do
during
this
city
planning
effort
is
to
consider
those
things
that
we
are
all
living
through
today.
D
It's
a
phenomenal
thing
that
we
have
thus-
and
it's
not
created
in
a
closed
room.
It's
done
collectively
by
all
of
us
and
that's
why
your
involvement
as
city
neighborhood
leaders
is
critically
important,
as
we
are
unable
to
gather
together
physically,
like
we
normally
would
we
are
going
to
need
to
do
this
work
virtually,
and
that
means
that
we
are
going
to
rely
on
you
as
neighborhood
leaders
to
get
the
word
out
to
the
citizens
that
you
all
represent,
that
this
planning
effort
is
going
on.
D
The
city
plan
is
only
revised
once
every
ten
years.
It's
not
something
we
do
every
day
and
it
guides
the
growth
of
our
city
and,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
every
decision
we
make
about
land
use.
We
look
at
what
this
plan
says.
It
is
crafted
by
you
and
by
the
citizens
of
charleston,
so
we
really
are
relying
on
your
help
to
get
this
done
the
right
way.
D
So
maybe
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
I'll
just
give
a
brief
orientation
here.
So
what
is
the
city
plan?
First
of
all,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
it's
required
by
the
state
as
a
city
in
the
state
of
south
carolina.
We
have
got
to
have
a
plan
that
guides
our
growth.
D
The
second
thing
is
that
it's
developed
by
our
planning
commission,
who
are
an
appointed
body,
and
they
then
recommend
it
to
city
council
who
formally
adopt
it
at
each
of
those
steps.
There
are
formal
opportunities
for
citizen
engagement.
You
can
speak
directly
with
the
planning
commission
and
directly
with
the
council,
as
we
are
making
these
decisions.
D
Third
thing
is
that
it's
revised
every
10
years
doesn't
happen
every
day,
and
it
just
so
happens
that
2020
the
year
of
the
pandemic,
the
year
of
so
many
changes
and
election
year
is
also
the
year.
Then
we
have
to
update
this
plan.
That
could
be
a
good
or
a
bad
thing,
but
in
any
case
this
is
our
year
to
do
this.
It's
not
something
that
we
do
all
the
time,
and
the
last
point
here
is
that
when
we
create
the
comprehensive
plan,
it's
really
broad,
ranging
we
look
at
10
different
elements.
D
We
look
at
the
population
of
the
city.
How
is
it
changed
and
how
is
it
going
to
change
our
economic
development?
We
look
at
our
natural
resources,
the
cultural
resources,
our
community
facilities.
We
look
at
housing
we're
placing
a
special
emphasis
on
housing
this
year,
because
we
know
that
our
city
has
undergone
incredible
gentrification.
D
D
This
means:
where
do
we
as
a
community,
spend
our
money
and
the
the
last
item
is
one
that
we're
adding
ourselves,
which
is
resilience,
and
that
means
the
the
city's
ability
to
bounce
back
from
adversity,
our
ability
to
get
back
into
action
after
challenges,
and
we
are
looking
at
the
effect
of
water
on
the
city,
flooding
in
many
ways:
storm
water,
flooding,
tidal
flooding,
we're
looking
at
storm
events,
but
resilience
generally,
is
something
that
we
are
going
to
be
looking
at
in
this
plan.
D
D
First
of
all,
it
makes
recommendations
about
the
future,
and
in
this
case,
in
this
version
of
the
plan,
we're
going
to
be
using
objective
information
and
analysis,
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
data
and
not
making
decisions
arbitrarily,
it
incorporates
input
from
everyone
in
the
community,
and
this
is
a
really
important
point
and
we're
making
a
major
push
on
this
this
year.
This
is
not
about
just
hearing
from
the
folks
who
have
access
to
elected
officials.
D
This
is
not
about
hearing
from
the
folks
who
always
show
up
at
meetings,
even
though
we're
definitely
listening
to
them.
This
is
about
also
listening
to
folks
who
never
get
a
chance
to
come
to
a
meeting,
and
that's
why
we
need
you
to
talk
to
your
constituents
and
to
to
get
them
involved
in
this
process,
because
we
have
to
hear
from
all
of
our
citizens
and
all
of
our
stakeholders
to
make
sure
that
the
plan
really
does
incorporate
the
viewpoints
of
everyone
that
we
represent.
D
D
It
doesn't
change
the
stormwater
regulations
which
are
their
own
separate
process.
It
doesn't
change
anything
related
to
your
property
taxes.
I
think
this
is
very
important.
That's
a
totally
separate
process.
The
plan
is
not
about
that
and
it
doesn't
make
detailed
policy
recommendations
that
are
already
covered
in
other
plans.
This
is
about
coming
together
as
a
community
to
think
about
what
our
vision
is
for
the
future
of
charleston
and
how
we
get
to
a
better
place.
It's
about
shaping
our
city
in
a
positive
way
and
giving
us
all
the
optimism
to
envision
a
better
place.
D
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide
now,
if
you
all
are
aware
of
this,
I'm
sure
most
of
you
are
a
lot
of
planning
goes
on
in
city
charleston,
all
the
time
by
many
many
great
folks.
They
include
our
plan
was
to
actually
in
2018.
That
is
guiding
the
growth
of
west
ashley,
our
comprehensive
transportation
plan
that
was
created
by
our
transportation
director
keith
benjamin
when
he
came
in.
D
This
past
year
we
have
worked
with
one
of
our
fellows
from
harvard
university
to
create
the
housing
for
a
fair
charleston
report,
which
is
a
guide,
work
guidelines
and
a
framework
for
creating
more
affordable
housing,
and
then
presently
we
are
working
on
the
one
charleston
parks
and
recreation
master
plan
led
by
our
parks
department
and
their
wonderful
consultants.
That
is
in
progress
now,
and
you
are
going
to
hear
from
them
later
in
this
meeting,
because
we're
hoping
to
make
sure
that
the
comprehensive
plan
and
our
parks
plan
work
in
tandem.
D
D
This
plan
is
is
anchored
in
where
water
is
and
where
it's
going
to
be.
One
of
the
things
we
know
is
that
sea
level
rise
and
climate
change
are
impacting
us
every
day.
If
you've
lived
here
for
a
long
time,
you
know
that
we've
never
experienced
flooding
like
we
have
in
the
past
five
years.
Things
are
different
now
and
this
plan
is
going
to
look
into
that
and
into
the
science
of
water
and
the
science
of
climate
change
to
make
sure
we're
planning
for
it
we're
going
to
be
data
smart.
D
D
And
the
fourth
thing
is
it:
you
know,
as
as
the
the
great
urban
as
jane
jacobs
taught
us,
there
is
strength
in
diversity,
and
we
know
that
the
city
of
charleston
has
lost
some
of
its
historic
diversity
in
the
past
few
years.
We
are
one
of
the
fastest
gentrifying
communities
in
the
nation
and
that's
not
acceptable
for
our
city.
Diversity
makes
our
city
stronger
in
so
many
ways.
D
D
On
on
my
team
from
the
city
staff,
we
have
miss
chloe
stuber,
who
is
one
of
our
planners
on
staff
here
and
she's,
coordinating
engagement
activities
on
the
city
side.
Jim
hemphill
is
one
of
our
new
additions
to
the
team
and
he
is
also
working
with
us
on
the
on
the
plan
side.
Doing
a
lot
of
work
related
to
the
under
the
hood
components
of
this
plan.
D
I'm
christopher
morgan,
our
planning
manager,
to
whom
I
am
forever
grateful
for
his
incredible
work
and
he's
the
person
who
leads
our
planning
commission
for
the
staff
side
and
meg
thompson,
who
is
our
director
of
business
neighborhood
services,
whom
I'm
sure
that
all
of
you
know,
because
she
works
with
the
amazing
sue
griffin
and
is
constantly
working
on
neighborhood
issues
and
helping
you
all
communicate
with
the
city.
We'll
go
to
the
next
slide.
D
Of
course,
myself
planning
director
mandy
hearing
our
operations
manager
to
go
on
my
own,
to
whom
I
am
also
eternally
grateful
eric
poland,
our
west
ashley
project
coordinator
and
philip
overcast,
our
senior
planner
on
business,
neighborhood
services,
becca,
hopkins,
sue,
griffin,
christina
off
and
ruth
jordan.
D
All
of
this
team
of
folks
from
the
city
are
some
of
the
most
dedicated
public
servants
that
you
will
ever
meet,
and
it
is.
It
is
my
real
honor
and
pleasure
to
be
able
to
work
with
them
every
day.
We
also
are
going
to
just
briefly
introduce
some
of
our
consulting
teams.
We
have
four
teams
working
with
us.
This
is
a
new
approach
for
us.
D
We
have
a
group
that
is
working
just
to
analyze,
water
and
land
use
and
they're
the
same
team
that
worked
with
us
on
our
recent
dutch
dialogues,
we're
working
with
a
group
called
community
data
platforms
to
analyze
housing.
They
are
a
super
slick,
super
geeky
outfit
of
folks
who
are
really
doing
some
amazing
work,
analyzing
the
cost
of
housing
on
the
engagement
and
outreach.
Of
course,
you
all
know
community
solutions,
consulting
seco
group
and
civic
communications,
the
tikka
aj
and
and
group,
and
then
on
our
graphic
design.
D
We
have
mary
mack
wilson,
so
a
great
group
of
locals
on
the
engagement,
outreach
and
design
side
and
we'll
go
to
our
next
slide.
Okay,
so
that's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
by
me.
I
appreciate
you
all
giving
me
a
moment
from
the
planning
department
side
at
this
point.
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over,
I
believe,
to
aj,
and
I
will
let
him
introduce
the
team
for
our
engagement
and
consultants.
Engagement,
outreach
consultants,
so
thanks
everyone
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Aj.
F
Thank
you
jacob.
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I'd
like
to
say
to
mayor
teckenberg
thank
you
for
your
words
earlier
and
to
our
guest
here
in
this
meeting.
Thank
you
for
attending
this
very
important
meeting
discussing
this
very
important
issue.
F
Again,
my
name
is
aj
davis
and
I'm
a
member
of
community
solutions,
consulting
a
local
community
engagement
firm
here
in
charleston,
and
I
will
be
introducing
this
wonderful
team
that
I
have
the
privilege
of
working
with.
We
have
mr
tika
robinson
from
the
asico
group,
a
facilitation
and
coordination
firm
here
also
in
charleston.
She
brings
years
of
experience
in
creative
campaigns,
including
diversity
include
and
inclusion,
as
well
as
global
global
citizenry.
F
F
Mr
eric
jackson,
who's
also
a
member
of
community
solutions,
consulting
a
community
advocate
and
end-all
be-all
to
all
things
community
here
in
charleston
and
someone
who
brings
the
the
community
connection
to
this
project
next
slide.
F
I
want
to
take
the
time
to
bring
home
what
was
said
earlier
about
the
challenges
of
conducting
this
work.
F
In
the
covet
19
environment,
as
mayor
teklenberg
said
as
well
as
jacob
alluded
to
these
are
unprecedented
times,
and
while
it
is
a
challenge
to
provide
true
engagement,
it
is
the
commitment
of
our
team,
along
with
the
planning
department
and
commissions,
to
ensure
that
this
process
is
not
only
transparent
but
inclusive
and
that
we
work
as
diligently
and
as
hard
as
possible
to
make
sure
that
we
reach
as
many
of
our
citizens
as
we
can.
F
Alright
our
approach.
Our
approach
is
going
to
be
one
where
we
focus
on
communities
of
place,
interest
and
circumstance.
So,
in
addition
to
our
geographic
neighborhoods,
we're
also
going
to
be
working
with
people
who
have
shared
interests
and
circumstances.
This
includes
excuse
me
our
social
and
civic
clubs,
as
well
as
our
college
communities,
even
reaching
out
to
members
of
our
homeless
communities
and
the
organizations
and
groups
that
work
with
them.
We
want
to
meet
people
where
they
are.
F
We
understand
that
again
in
these
very
trying
times,
it
is
important
to
be
creative,
innovative
and
out
of
the
box
in
this
approach.
This
work,
we
want
to
prioritize
the
voices
and
perspectives
of
the
people
who
have
historically
been
left
out
of
these
discussions
in
these
plans.
F
F
So
our
city
plan
engagement
schedule.
So
this
is
kind
of
what
we
have
at
the
onset
of
course,
taking
into
consideration
that
covet,
19
definitely
has
thrown
some
of
these
things
out
of
whack,
but
we
are
diligently
making
sure
that
we
can
maintain
this
timeline
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
So
we
have,
in
between
the
months
of
june
and
august,
to
find
the
existing
conditions
and
establish
the
shared
vision,
which
basically
means
we
all
come
together
around
what
it
is.
F
We
see
the
city
growing
into
all
right,
and
so
during
that
time,
there's
certain
activities
that
we
will
engage
in
the
engagement
accessibility
survey,
which
many
of
you
have
taken,
we'll
have
key
stakeholders,
orientation,
community
conversations
and
a
civic
lab
speaker
series.
Then
we
will
move
on
to
applying
the
recommendations,
which
simply
means
that
we
will
take
what
you
tell
us
and
begin
the
process
of
compiling
it
into
a
plan
which
the
city,
planning,
department
and
planning
commissions
will
work
on
together.
F
F
So
thank
you
to
those
of
you
who
have
completed
that
it
is
still
open
and
will
be
ongoing
during
the
duration
of
this
project.
Next
slide.
F
As
someone
who
is,
in
fact,
a
neighborhood
president
in
north
charleston,
I
sit
in
the
same
position
that
many
of
you
do
as
well,
and
so
we
want
to
emphasize
why
your
participation
is
important.
We
want
you
to
participate
in
the
community
conversations
and
civic
labs.
We're
asking
that
for
those
of
you
who
see
fit,
please
host
your
own
community
conversation
and
I'm
pretty
certain
the
city
and
our
consulting
firm
will
be
more
than
happy
to
assist
with
that
sign
up
to
receive
the
city.
F
Lab
news
letter
also
follow
the
city
of
charleston
on
their
facebook
page.
Please
spread
the
word
and
raise
awareness
about
why
the
involvement
in
this
process
is
so
important.
Next
slide.
F
G
Thank
you,
everybody.
My
name
is
jason
cronsberg.
I
am
the
director
of
the
parks
department.
Can
everybody
hear
me?
Okay,
give
me
a
thumbs
up
great,
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
quick
introduction
tonight,
as
you
can
see,
I'm
sitting
in
a
virtual
park,
as
we
all
are
in
our
sitting
in
our
living
rooms
in
our
homes
or
your
offices,
wherever
you
are
jacob
and
the
mayor
said
it
very
well
and
and
the
team
working
on
the
the
charleston
plans.
G
I
don't
want
to
get
into
that
too
much
and
waste
a
lot
of
time,
but
we
are
lucky
to
be
able
to
piggyback
on
the
comprehensive
plan
update
with
a
with
a
new
plan
for
charleston's
parks
and
recreation.
This
is
again
your
plan.
We
want
to
hear
from
you
and
I'm
going
to
introduce
you
to
tom
o'rourke,
who
you
may
have
heard
of
before
he's
been
around
for
a
while
and
lots
of
different
positions.
G
So
tom
is
working
with
a
firm
called
branstadter
carroll
and
they
are
our
consultants
working
on
the
parks
and
recreation
master
plan.
We're
really
looking
to
get
to
hear
from
you
through
our
online
surveys.
There
will
be
some
mail
surveys
that
some
of
you
will
receive.
So
we're
really
happy
to
hear
about
you
and
and
working
with
everyone
on
this
call
and
beyond
to
to
come
up
with
a
vision
and
a
plan
for
the
next
10
years
that
we
can
use
to
guide
our
parks
and
recreation
programs.
G
H
Hi
everybody,
this
is
a
pretty
efficient
meeting.
I
thought
I
would
just
start
off
with
you
know.
We
are
exactly
on
time.
According
to
the
to
the
schedule,
which
is
pretty
impressive,
my
name
is
tom
o'rourke.
I
have
been
in
this
region
for
a
long
time.
The
past
18
years
I
was
the
executive
director
of
the
charleston
county
parks
and
recreation
commission
and
have
worked
very
closely
with
mayor
teckelberg,
mayor
riley,
before
him
and
and
most
all
of
the
staff.
H
So
I'm
super
excited
to
be
working
on
this
plan,
but
I
also
know
my
way
around
the
city
and
the
one
thing
that
that
is
great
about
this
plan
is
jacob's
staff.
Jacob
christopher
is
at
every
one
of
our
meetings
and
to
have
jason
kronsberg,
who
just
spoke
and
laura
yarborough
right.
There
makes
this
make
this
work,
so
we've
got
some
really
great
people.
I
do
want
to
say
that
why
it's
good
to
be
working
with
the
with
this
plan
is
because
I
believe
that
a
lot
of
our
solutions
can
help
this
plan.
H
It's
already
been
mentioned
something
as
as
as
simple
as
as
drainage
issues
can
be
satisfied
through
park
planning
we're
looking
at
that.
The
other
thing
that
was
brought
up
is
diversity
and
just
to
be
a
little
bit
real.
There's
some
situations
going
on
in
this
country
right
now
that
are
dealing
with
people
living
with
each
other
that
I
believe
and
have
always
believed
that
parks
and
recreation
could
be
the
solution
to
that.
H
We
we
need
your
help
because,
rather
than
just
have
these
big
meetings
where
people
come
and
speak,
we
have
to
get
this
information
in
other
ways.
So
we
want
to
know
from
you.
What
do
you
want
to
do
in
your
parks?
H
How
can
we
improve
them
if
any,
and
how
do
we
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
of
what's
going
on
in
charleston,
you
will
see
a
different
survey
instruments
that
are
out
there.
There
is
some
will
get
it
in
the
mail,
not
everyone,
but
what
we
would
like
you
to
do
is
to
push
out
every
single
people
that
live
in
your
community
to
go
to
the
online
survey
and
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
if
possible,
this
is
just
a
little
overview
of
what
we're
doing.
H
These
are
the
four
things
that
we
are
going
to
do
in
this
plan.
We're
going
to
evaluate
what
you
have
which,
which
we've
pretty
much
we've
been
to
every
single
park.
So
we
we've
seen
that.
H
Then
we
engage
the
community
to
be
a
little
bit
honest,
I'm
not
completely
100
percent
happy
with.
Are
we
getting
to
every
single
person,
but
we've
come
up
with
some
things,
with
jason's
help
and
laurie's
help
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks
to
make
sure
that
we
can
go
where
the
people
are
and
we
will
social
distance
and
we
will
do
what
we
can,
but
we
don't
just
want
this
plan
to
be
only
for
people
to
sit
behind
a
computer
and
send
things
in.
So
there
are
some
pockets
of
this
community.
H
Where
we
have
people
going
to
park,
we
have
people
being
outside
and
we're
going
to
go
to
them
to
make
sure
that
we
get
that.
So
by
the
time
we're
done.
We
know
what
the
community
feels
and
then
we're
going
to
take
all
this
information
and
put
it
into
a
vision
and
move
it
forward.
And
then
we
put
together
the
plan,
but
you
will
see
from
the
website
that
we
are
available
at
all
times.
H
Contact
information
is
there
and
we
urge
you
to
to
get
in
contact
with
us
to
give
us
any
pointers
that
you
may
have
to
make
sure
we
get
to
everybody.
But
that's
what
it's
going
to
be.
Can
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
so
here's
the
survey
that
I
was
talking
about.
H
You'll
see
the
website
for
this
it's
at
the
bottom
and
that
website
is
going
to
give
you
all
the
information
that
you
possibly
can
have.
It
will
have
the
survey
on
it
and
it
will
take
you
to
a
site
called
mind.
Mixer,
if
you
so
choose.
My
mixer
is
kind
of
neat
because
it
allows
there
to
be
interaction
back
and
forth.
You
can
see
what
we've
done.
H
You
can
give
ideas
and
we
can
get
back
and
forth
not
only
back
and
forth
with
us
back
and
forth
with
everybody
that
wants
to
be
a
part
of
it.
So
it's
a
pretty
interesting
thing:
we've
seen
it
work
pretty
well
and
once
a
topic
gets
out
there,
people
like
to
jump
on
that
topic
so
that
that
helps
us
too.
H
So
I
don't
want
to
take
a
lot
of
time,
but
I
did
want
to
just
make
sure
that
we
we
let
the
community
association
leaders
know
that
we're
here
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
this,
and
we
need
you
to
make
sure
you
push
this
survey
out
to
make
sure
we
get
all
the
information
that
you
can
and
again
feel
free
to
write.
Any
suggestions
you
have
to
us
through
mind,
mixer
or
through
individual
emails.
E
All
right,
thank
you,
everyone!
Thank
you,
tom
all
right,
so
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
conversation
for
q
a
so.
We
would
ask
that
you,
you
can
either
put
your
question
in
the
chat
box
and
we'll
read
aloud
and
someone
from
our
team
will
respond,
or
if
you
have
a
question
that
you'd
like
to
verbally,
ask
it.
Then
we
just
ask
that
you,
just
if
you're
on
your
screen
just
hit
your
raised
hand
button.
I
believe
it's
star9.
E
That
will
also
do
it
on
your
phone,
if
you're
calling
in
okay
peter
la
magic.
Forgive
me
if
I
mispronounce
your
name.
Peter
has
a
question.
I
I
So
I
have
two
quick,
quick
questions:
one
regarding
housing
for
folks
that
have
been
here
quite
a
while
their
whole
lives.
Actually
their
homes
are
historic,
but
they
they're
getting
priced
out
of
them.
I
know
quite
heard
that
we
can't
ask
questions
about
taxation.
I
This
is
more
along
the
lines
of
helping
them,
classify
their
homes
as
historic
and
getting
some
help,
fixing
it
up
and
staying
in
their
homes
right.
So
we
we
have
a
number
of
residents
that
really
just
can't
afford
to
do
those
updates
and
if
they
want
to
move
it's
air's
property
and
they
just
don't
want
to
move,
but
sometimes
they
have
to,
and
I
was
asked
to
bring
that
to
light,
bring
that
as
a
question
to
the
city.
I
I
The
second
question
has
to
do
with
the
park
hampton
park,
specifically
I'm
going
to
put
those
comments
into
the
survey
for
jason,
kronsberg,
there's
great
concern
and
lots
of
dialogue,
and
I
live
in
wagner
terrace
regarding
the
hours
of
closure
for
the
walkers,
and
you
know
the
traffic
so
I'll
relegate
the
survey
to
kind
of
put
my
thoughts
in
there.
But
on
the
first
question,
I'd
really
really
am
curious.
What
what
can
we
do?
Directionally
or
what
are
we
doing,
directionally
to
help
our
residents
stay
in
their
homes.
A
Hi
peter
this
is
meg
bittar.
Sorry,
I
just
put
a
link
in
the
chat
to
a
program
that
our
housing
and
community
development
department
offers
where
people
can
apply
for
assistance
to
to
do
some
repairs
to
your
home.
Now
there
are
restrictions
on
that
income
age
things
like
that,
but
that
that
is
a
program
that
the
city
offers
the
rest
of
the
department
may
be
able
to
talk
to
some
longer
term
efforts.
D
Hi
patara
jacob
lindsay
here,
so
the
meg
hit
it
right
on
the
head
that
the
city
does
have
a
rehab
program
which
is
done
by
our
housing
and
community
development
department,
and
you
hit
on
on
a
major
issue
peptide.
D
That
is
one
of
the
causes
of
gentrification
in
the
city
that
we're
aware
of
someone
may
be
able
to
live
in
their
home,
but
then
they
get
a
major
damage
to
a
roof
or
damage
to
their
structure,
and
that's
why
we
do
have
a
program
specifically
that
for
that
purpose,
gianna
shaw,
johnson
in
the
city's
housing
and
community
development
program.
Heads
that
up.
D
This
is
among
the
issues
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
in
the
comprehensive
plan,
because
we
we
know
that
we
need
to
take
account
of
the
the
systematic
reasons
that
gentrification
is
occurring
on
the
peninsula.
So
you
brought
up
a
really
important
point.
That
is
a
part
of
our
city's
loss
of
diversity
and
it's
something
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
as
we
look
not
just
at
how
to
help
individuals,
but
how
we
guide
the
growth
of
the
overall
city,
long
term
and
I'll
pass
it
over
to
the
parks
department.
D
For
the
the
question
on
regarding
parks.
B
Jacob,
I
would
just
like
to
add
that
if
you
look
at
that
that
vision
that
you
mentioned
that
city
council
approved
earlier
this
year
with
the
young
lady
natasha
that
helped
us
from
harvard
it's
a
really
comprehensive
look
at
affordable
housing
strategies
that
need
to
be
brought
into
this
city
plan
as
well
and
and
I'll
I'll,
just
say:
yeah.
B
We
might
have
a
program
to
help
people
fix
their
ruse,
but
it
it's
not
funded
to
the
extent
that
it
needs
to
be
so
that
again,
why
we
need
our
our
community
engagement
and
and
input
that,
if
that's,
if,
if
that
strategy
is
one
that's
really
important,
we
we
need
to
hear
that
so
so
council
will
allocate
more
funds
to
it.
In
the.
E
G
So
the
the
parks
and
rec
master
plan
is
going
to
take
every
single
borough.
If
you
will
of
the
city
and
each
one
will
be
included.
The
question
is
about
the
canehoy
peninsula
island.
G
I
think
everybody
understands
that
the
city
has
grown
considerably
out
on
kenoi
peninsula
and
we
know
that
there
are
very
f,
almost
nine
parks
and
recreation
programs
that
are
existing
on
the
peninsula.
So
that's
certainly
an
asp,
an
area
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
at.
We
would
encourage
you
to
push
out
the
survey
to
everybody
and
anybody.
You
know
that
lives
in
the
city
of
charleston
on
the
kenhoy
peninsula,
daniel
island
as
well.
Everybody
can
use
the
amenities
on
daniel
island,
but
we
really
want
to
hear
from
you
like
we
said
earlier.
G
E
Thank
you.
We
also
have
a
question
from
melissa
brown
and
we're
gonna
have
her
hannah's
ray.
So
if
someone
could
unmute
her,
please.
J
Please,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted,
for
the
sake
of
proceeding
with
the
kind
of
transparency
that
we
all
claim
that
we
are
going
to
have
from
this
point
forward,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
whether
it's
about
especially
about
park
usage
you're,
talking
about
communicating
with
people
in
communities
with
the
assumption
is
that
everybody
has
a
computer
and
will
be
communicating
in
20th
or
rather
21st,
century
modes.
J
And
so,
obviously
you
want
community
neighborhood
leaders
to
fill
that
gap,
and
that
is
part
of
our
responsibility.
But
I
just
like
to
just
go
on
record.
It's
just
reminding
folks
that
we
are
such
a
mixed
community
and
the
people
who
usually
get
left
out
of
services
are
often
just
somehow
not
on
the
radar
screen,
and
we
just
have
to
be
creative
about
how
to
pull
those
folks
in.
J
J
Maybe
their
families
don't
have
the
the
kinds
of
facilities
our
kids
in
this
particular
neighborhood
literally
walk
the
streets
because
they
have
nothing
to
do
and
the
park
is
just
within
walking
distance.
There
is
a
disconnect
and
we
need
the
help
of
the
city
and
parks
and
recreation
to
do
more
than
just
sponsor
programs.
J
J
E
You
thank
you,
melissa
tom.
I
see
your
well.
I
do
want
to
make
one
comment:
jason
you
shared
that
kane
hoy
peninsula
is
definitely
on
our
radar
and
will
be
considered
in
the
plan.
Does
that
cover
your
comment
that
you
wanted
to
share
that
you
put
in
the
chat
box?
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you
all
right
jacob
did
you
have
anything
you
wanted
to
add
to
her
com
to
melissa's
comment
before
we
take
toms.
D
Well,
first
of
all,
miss
brown
heights
great
to
hear
you.
This
is
jacob
from
the
city.
I
think
we've
worked
together
a
little
bit
in
the
past
that
she
was,
I
think,
addressing
the
issue
of
parks
usage,
which
is
not
exactly
what
what
I'm
working
on
but
we'll.
Certainly
we
hear
that
loud
and
clear,
and
we're
well
aware
that
there
are
neighborhoods
all
throughout
the
city
like
yours
at
ferguson
village,
where
you
have
folks
who
might
live
next
to
a
facility,
but
they
don't
use
it.
You
know
they.
D
Don't
they
don't
it's
not,
they
don't
think
it's
for
them
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
doing
this
right
now
is
to
listen
to
the
folks
that
you
represent
ms
brown.
You
know
we've.
I
know
we've
worked
with
them
with
the
baseball
field
close
by
and
with
you
know,
some
of
the
properties
that
are
close
by.
D
D
The
the
other
thing
that
that
I
would
just
want
to
emphasize
here
is
that
you
brought
up
a
really
important
point,
ms
brown,
about
the
use
of
computers
and
believe
me,
I
would
love
nothing
more
than
to
not
have
to
be
on
this
computer
all
day
long,
but
because
we're
in
this
weird
coronavirus
condition
where
everybody
is
having
to
meet.
Virtually
we've
been
painted
into
a
corner
a
little
bit
and
that's
why
we
also
are
working
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
people
can
participate
by
phone
people
can
participate
by
text
message.
D
D
If
you
got
a
computer,
that's
great,
but
we're
going
to
use
every
tool
that
we
have
and
that's
why
we're
also
asking
for
all
the
neighborhood
leaders
who
were
on
this
call
to
reach
out
to
folks.
If
you
all
are
seeing
folks
face
to
face,
let
them
know
that
the
parks
plan
and
the
comp
plan
are
going
on
and
we'll
give
you
all
the
info.
E
H
Yes,
thank
you
and
I
don't
want
to
repeat
everything
jacob
just
said,
but
I
do
want
to
to
to
thank
miss
brown
for
her
comment.
That
is
exactly
what
we
need
to
hear
and
it
would
I
tried
to
say
it
before
my
introduction.
H
We
saw
a
problem
with
getting
results
just
from
people
that
have
the
computers,
so
what
we're
doing
is
we're
actually
going
to
neighborhoods,
I
I'm
so
sorry.
I
forget
the
name
of
the
wonderful
woman
who
works
for
the
city
that
that
we
had
a
meeting
with
that
specializes
in
some
of
the
underserved
areas
and
she
was
brilliant
and
she
gave
her
so
many
good
ideas,
all
the
way
down
to
churches
and
other
places
that
we
can
go
to
where
the
people
are.
H
But
I
can
assure
you
this
plan
is
going
to
have
input
from
every
single
person
in
this
in
this
community.
We
will
make
sure
that
we're
not
leaving
out
any
group
at
all
miss
brown
if
you'd
like
and
you
can
have
my
email
address,
I'd
love
to
help
you
get
everybody
in
your
neighborhood
into
james
allen,
county
park.
I
can
do
that.
So
thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
tom
there's,
a
question
in
the
box
from
donna
jacobs
and
she
wants
to
know
she
wants
to
make
sure
we
make
it
very
clear
that
there's
a
difference
between
city
park,
the
city
park
system
and
the
county
park
system.
Would
someone
like
to
address
that
just
for
clarification
for
everyone?
That's
on
the
call.
C
G
So
tom
is
probably
the
best
person
to
answer
that,
but
the
charleston
county
parks
and
recreation
commission
is
it's
a
a
separate
authority
that
has
regional
type
parks.
The
city
park
system
has
neighborhood
parks,
athletic
complexes
and
and
and
we're
all
there
together,
but
we
serve
a
little
bit
of
a
different
need
within
the
park
system,
so
the
regional
parks.
G
G
Will
all
of
those
areas
will
be
evaluated
in
in
ascerta
in
in,
in
order
to
know
where
we
have
deficiencies
where
we
have
underserved
communities,
and
all
of
that
takes
takes
into
consideration
the
final
plan
and
and
again
we
understand
that
everybody
doesn't
have
a
computer
and
we're
going
to
do
our
best
to
get
into
the
neighborhoods,
and
hopefully
the
coveted
restrictions
will
lift
a
little
bit
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
see
all
of
you
at
some
point
face
to
face
in
your
own
community
to
get
that
feedback.
G
So
if
tom
wants
to
give
a
minute
on
anything,
that
would
be
great.
Otherwise,
I
don't
want
to
take
too
much
away
from
from
the
comprehensive
update.
Thank.
E
You
jason,
we
appreciate
it
okay,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
note
that
meg
has
dropped
into
the
chat
box
one
more
time
for
anyone
that
has
not
completed
the
survey.
Please
make
sure
you
do
do
that.
It
was
the
last
comment
made.
She
dropped
the
surveymonkey
link
in
there
for
everyone.
I
do
want
to
add
that
there
are
a
couple
of
comments,
one
more
comment
that
was
given
about
james
island
county
park
that
it's
hard
to
access
without
a
car.
E
So
we're
getting
close
to
our
time
of
closing
out
just
want
to
honor
that
we
did
ask
you
for
an
hour
of
your
time,
and
we
know
everyone
is
busy,
and
the
last
thing
you
want
to
be
is
on
a
call
for
looking
at
a
screen
for
any
longer
than
you
have
to
out
of
today.
So
I
am
actually
going
to
hand
this
over
back
to
jacob
jacob,
if
there's
anything
that
you
would
like
to
share
to
close
us
out
before
we
close.
D
Thank
you,
satika.
First
of
all,
thanks
to
everybody,
who's
been
on
this
and
and
especially
to
youth
attica
and
to
aj
for
the
great
work
y'all
are
doing.

As
you
see
up
on
your
screen,
don't
be
a
stranger

chloe,

charleston

and
I
also
want
to
emphasize
that
everybody
that
you've
spoken
with
here
today
on
the
city
side,
we're
available.
If
you
all
have
I
mean,
as
always,
if
you
have
any
questions
you
can
reach
out
to
us
and
if
you
are
not
a
computer
person,
you
don't
want
to
go
on
the

and
find
our
individual

be
completely

value
your
roles
as
neighborhood
leaders.
We
know
that
it's
a
thankless
job.
We
know
you
get
phone
calls
about
why
that
one
neighbor
doesn't
ever
roll
their
trash
bin
in.
We
know
that
you
have
to
deal
with
all
of
those
challenges
all
the
time
and
you
all
are
public
servants
in
the
places
where
you
work.

raised

someone
will
directly
reach

it

E
This
is
just
the
beginning
of
us
engaging
and
doing
things
just
a
little
differently
and

creates
an
opportunity
