City of Charleston Council Meeting - February 26, 2019
C
Father
as
we
come
to
do
the
work
of
the
city
of
talkin,
let
us
understand
that
our
differences
is
our
strength.
As
we
moved
Ward
one
give
us
the
ability
to
discern
what
is
right
for
our
city
and
our
citizens.
God.
We
need
you
now
as
a
city
as
a
state
and
as
a
country,
please
God
grant
us
your
grace
in
this
time
of
need.
Peace,
amen,.
F
B
If
I
may
just
begin
with
a
little
public
safety
notice
in
the
most
unlikely
event
that
we
would
need
to
evacuate,
the
building
do
not
use
the
elevator.
We
have
these
two
exit
doors
here
and
then
one
over
to
from
the
room
to
my
right
and
the
two
stairways
going
downstairs
and
then
the
one
stairway
going
out.
So
just
it's
very
unlikely,
but
if,
if
we
would
need
to
leave
the
building,
that
is
the
way
out
now.
First
I'd
like
to
have
a
short
proclamation
recognizing
this
being
women
in
construction
week
is
Janet
Bates.
B
Here
this
evening.
Please
come
forward
so
she's
the
president
of
local
chapter
of
National
Association
of
Women
in
construction,
which
is
which
is
not
new
but
pretty
new,
so
whereas
the
National
Association
of
Women
and
construction
that
Palmetto
chapter
is
distinguished
itself
since
August
26
2018
as
voice
of
women
and
construction
in
Charleston,
Berkeley
and
Dorchester
County
and
the
work
done
by
them
has
benefited
the
region
through
Community,
Development
and
educational
programs.
B
G
Thank
you
very
much.
Our
chapter
was
officially
chartered
in
August
of
last
year
with
49
members,
and
we
have
grown
substantially
270
members
as
of
today,
we
are
now
the
largest
chapter
in
the
South
Atlantic
region
of
the
National
Association
of
Women
and
construction,
and
these
women
are
powerful
and
they
have
a
voice
in
this
community.
G
That
is
unceasing,
and
they
are
very
excited
to
be
part
of
finding
a
solution
for
our
industries,
labor
problems
by
encouraging
young
women
and
boys
to
get
involved
with
our
industry
as
early
as
elementary
school
teaching
them
about
the
opportunities,
the
plethora
of
opportunities
that
they
have
by
joining
us.
So
thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
And
and
I
want
to
shout
out
to
Ruth
Jordan
a
minority
business
and
women
enterprise,
facilitator
she's
been
working
with
this
group
and
also
point
out
the
council
you're
all
invited
which
we
are
as
a
cities,
helped
sponsor
the
black
Business
Expo,
which
is
this
weekend
there's
a
taste
of.
Do
you
want
to
share
a
comment
about
that
route?
H
I
was
their
keynote
speaker
for
that
chartering
event
such
a
great
great
group,
the
African
American
Expo,
is
going
to
be
March,
8th
and
9th,
and
it's
going
to
be
an
exciting
time
here
in
Ross
we're
expecting
about
10
to
15,000
people
to
go
through
the
expo.
It
starts
with
a
taste
of
Charleston
at
the
aquarium
on
Friday
March,
the
8th
and
then
on
March,
the
9th
it
will
be
the
expo
Business
Expo
and
they
have
five
pillars
to
include
education,
health,
community
involvement
and
business
entrepreneurship.
B
If
you
would
come
forward
as
I
call
your
name
commander,
Chris
Ruska
commander
james
holy
command,
master
chief,
weibo,
Roberts
and
Lieutenant
Roman,
Metzger
and
I'd
also
like
to
ask
retired
captain
Pat
Keaveney
who's,
a
chair
of
the
commissioning
committee
and
president
of
the
local
Navy
League,
because
this
Saturday
ten
o'clock
at
the
Columbus
Street
terminal
in
Charleston
will
be
the
commissioning
of
the
six
vessel
that
has
held
in
the
name
of
the
USS
Charleston
in
the
US
Navy.
We're
so
proud
of
that.
B
We're
just
honored
to
have
you
all
here
with
us
tonight,
so
I'm
going
to
read
yet
another
proclamation
that
I
will
share
with
you
and
then
ask
commander.
If
you
would
like
to
make
some
remarks-
and
this
is
a
little
lengthy.
But
it's
really
some
great
historical
information
that
I
think
everyone
would
enjoy.
B
A
real
galley
was
built
in
Charleston
and
used
to
defend
South
Carolina's
coast
during
the
quasi-war,
with
friends
who
heard
of
that
war
before
okay,
whereas
in
1889
the
second
USS
Charleston,
a
protected
Cruiser,
was
commissioned
and
served
in
the
Pacific
and
spanish-american
war.
Tragically,
she
was
lost
due
to
erect
in
1899
off
the
Philippines,
whereas
launched
in
1904
the
third
USS
Charleston,
a
protected
Cruiser
went
on
to
serve
in
World
War
one.
B
The
vessel
was
part
of
the
convoy
to
transport,
the
first
troops
of
the
American
Expeditionary
Forces
to
France
on
June
14th
of
1917,
whereas
the
most
decorated
eventual
six
ships.
Until
now,
the
fourth
USS
Charleston,
a
patrol
gunboat,
was
launched
in
1936
and
served
valiantly
in
world
war
ii
receiving
a
battle
star
and
other
accommodations.
B
She
patrolled
off
the
coast
of
alaska,
mainly
from
kodiak
and
whereas
you
says
Charleston
v
ship
to
be
named
after
the
holy
city
was
launched
in
1967,
serving
in
the
Vietnam
War,
the
vessel
earned
awards
and
campaign
ribbons
for
her
service
and
whereas
a
six
and
newest
USS
Charlton
is
an
independence
class
littoral
combat
ship.
This
ship
is
built
for
the
new
Navy
warfighter.
B
It
is
faster,
more
agile
and
more
technologically
advanced
than
previous
US
Navy
vessels,
whereas
the
USS
Charleston
LCS
18
will
Transit,
has
already
trans
come
from
Mobile
Alabama
and
brought
to
her
namesake
City
for
her
official
commissioning
ceremony,
which
will
take
place
this
Saturday
March
the
second.
She
will
then
leave
and
go
through
the
Panama
Canal
reaching
her
homeport
of
San
Diego,
where,
as
we
take
this
opportunity
to
recognize
the
USS
Charleston
and
the
crew
to
express
our
deepest
appreciation
for
all
members
past
and
present
of
the
United
States
military
and
their
families.
B
We
thank
you
for
your
selfless
and
brave
service
which
ensures
the
safety
of
our
great
nation
and
all
of
our
citizens.
Now,
therefore,
I
John
J,
Tekken
burg
mayor
the
city
of
Charleston,
do
hereby
proclaim
this
week.
Sunday
February
24th
to
dis,
coming
Saturday
as
a
USS
Charleston
week
in
the
city
of
Charleston.
I
B
I'll,
just
further
share
on
that
sandy
and
I
were
blessed
to
be
able
to
go
to
Mobile
Alabama
along
councilmember
Wagner
and
former
mayor
Reilly,
and
his
wife
Charlotte,
who
is
the
sponsor
of
the
ship?
Each
ship
has
a
sponsor
and
a
boy
Charlotte
really
broke
that
champagne
across
the
bow
of
that
ship.
You'd,
be
amazed
how
that
petite
lady
was
able
to
crack
that
bottle,
but
when
you're
standing
underneath
its
vessel,
this
was
before
it
got
put
in
the
water.
It
is
amazing.
This
is
amazing
vessel
and
it's
really
fascinating
it
is.
B
D
J
Every
time
I
see
that
crest
broken
out
and
there's
something
big
like
that.
It
still
gives
me
goosebumps,
because
it
was
about
two
years
ago,
when
my
XO
and
Master
Chief
sitting
them
standing
in
my
lap,
sat
down
in
a
room
and
started
trying
to
figure
out
what
we
want
to
crustal
look
like
and
after
several
iterations.
J
This
is
what
we
decided
and
it
still
it
still
hits
me
today
and
gives
me
goosebumps
when
I
look
at
it
so
I'm
part
I
am
biased,
I
admit
that
I
still
think
it's
the
best
crest
in
the
Navy.
So
so
it
just
looks
awesome
well,
thank
you,
mayor
and
council
members
into
the
city
members
who
are
also
able
to
make
it
tonight.
J
J
You
know
there's
a
process
in
place
and
where
a
ship
gets
to
be
commissioned,
and
it
would
seem
very
obvious
that
the
ship,
where
the
namesake
of
a
city
on
the
coast
would
get
commissioned
on
and
in
that
city,
but
it
isn't
quite
automatic
like
that,
so
we
had
to
make
a
request
and
the
person
who
approves
that
request
to
the
Secretary
of
the
Navy.
Now
the
current
Secretary
was
just
appointed
shortly
Bullough
before
he
came
out
to
mobile,
so
we
were
his
first
christening
that
he
had
attended.
J
So
the
mayor
and
I
took
advantage
of
his
been
being
a
little
naive,
and
so
we
walked
up
and
said
mr.
secretary.
We
want,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
can
Commission
the
ship
in
Charleston.
Doesn't
that
make
a
lot
of
sense?
He
said
sure
does
to
me
it's
a
great
that's
where
we're
gonna.
Do
it?
That's
where
it
was
ever
since
so
we
sent
the
formal
request
off
anyway,
when
that
was
more
of
just
a
formality.
But
I'll
tell
you
the
mayor
and
I
ganged
up
on
him.
When
he
was
there
took
advantage.
J
The
secretary
is
coming
and
himself.
He
wanted
to
make
sure
he
came
to
this
commissioning,
so
we're
really
excited
to
have
him
so
I
look
forward
to
all
of
you
coming
out
and
getting
a
tour
on
board
the
ship
and
on
Saturday
there'll,
be
a
big
crowd
to
get
in
the
line
and
and
you'll
and
you'll
come
see.
The
ship,
that's
in
that's
named
in
your
honor
and
I,
couldn't
be
more
proud
to
be
the
commanding
officer
of
that
ship.
So
thank
you
very
much.
J
B
K
B
B
Know,
if
you
noticed
also
when
the
crest,
but
they
have
a
model
for
the
ship
and
they
they
did
a
variation
of
the
state
motto
of
South
Carolina,
which
is
in
Latin
on
our
state
seal
done.
Spiro
spero,
while
I,
breathe,
I
hope
and
given
the
nature
of
the
business.
That
of
there
in
the
motto
of
the
crest
of
the
USS
Charleston,
is
why
we
breed
we
fight.
B
It's
it
just
started
last
year,
so
I
believe
most
of
these
students
are
sophomores
in
that
correct,
and
so
they
add
another
class.
Every
year
in
two
more
years,
I'll
have
a
full
contingent
for
four
grades
in
the
Early
College
High
School,
the
city
has
been
fortunate
to
partner
with
Early
College
High
School
and
we've
sent
over
guest
speakers
myself.
Several
of
our
council
members
are
going,
who
brought
students
to
various
cultural
spaces
throughout
the
community
and
provide
understanding
local
government
opportunities
to
engage
in
the
community
tonight.
B
B
So
this
means
the
courts
if
they've
done
a
remarkable
job
excelling
at
college-level
courses
and
have
done
a
remarkable
job
as
high
school
sophomores
starting
their
college
career
off
early.
You
should
all
be
proud
of
your
accomplishments
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
for
the
city
to
partner
with
you
special
thanks
to
staff
members,
John
Mitchell
and
Mindy
Stern,
who
have
kind
of
led
our
partnership
with
the
Early
College
High,
School
I
know.
M
B
Q
So
it's
been
a
long
journey,
we
start
all
off
freshman's.
We
made
a
bond
together
and
so
far
we've
made
it
through
these
college
classes
together
as
well.
We
help
each
other
arm
out
and
classes.
We
have
little
study
groups,
that's
all
I
really
have
to
say.
B
R
Moody
I
won't
call
the
name
but
I
there's
a
one
of
these
young
ladies
up
here
was
involved
recently
in
a
multi-day,
and
it's
still
an
ongoing
shared
future
project
and
I
didn't
know
her
before
and
I
got
to
meet
her
got
to
work
with
her
and
she's
incredible
and
I.
Just
just
tell
you
that
that
we're
in
good
shape
we're
good
to
show
you
have
these
kids
going
forward
and
I
know
every
single
one
of
your
parents.
Never
and
your
teachers
are
proud
of
you,
and
so
are
we
so
anyway?
Thank
you.
B
B
I
do
like
to
recognize
when
former
council
members
are
in
the
house.
We
have
with
us
tonight.
I
understand
the
green
Ellington
degree.
Are
you
here
there
you
are.
These
are
former
City
Council
members
just
want
to
welcome
you
back
to
the
house
the
telling
tonight
you
for
being
with
us,
okay,
I,
guess
we'll
wait
just
a
minute
clear,
low
traffic.
E
B
So
next
we
have
I
think
six
public
hearings
that
have
been
advertised.
The
first
point
is
ordinance
regarding
the
xenian
change
for
three
thousand
and
four
position.
Dr
mr.
Morgan
will
explain
each
item
as
they
come
forward.
Anyone
from
the
public
that
would
like
to
address
the
issue
is
welcome
to
come
forward.
We
ask
that
you
keep
your
remarks
to
two
minutes,
please
during
this
during
this
session
during
these
sessions,
mr.
Morgan.
O
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
so
this
is
a
property,
as
the
mayor
said,
it
1,000
for
physicians
drive
it's
actually
between
three
different
streets
between
savage
Road
and
Henry.
Tecla
burg,
Drive
and
physicians
drive
to
the
northwest
and
it
is
a
vacant
piece
of
property.
We
have
some
images
here
believe
we
do
here.
We
go
aerial
image.
It's
been
exclusively
office
up
to
this
point
along
physicians,
Drive,
and
it
was
owned
that
way
in
the
general
office
district,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
images
of
the
site.
O
This
is
across
the
street
SC
mg
substation
and
then
another
office
across
the
other
street
there
and
further
back
behind
it
on
physicians,
Drive,
and
the
request
is
to
rezone
from
that
general
office,
which
this
area
was
originally
envisioned
to
develop
as
2ct
district
or
commercial
transitional,
which
is
our
most
limited,
more
open
commercial
district.
It
would
allow
for
restaurant.
It
still
would
allow
for
offices
and
staff,
has
analyzed
this
and
realized
that
this
is
an
area
of
town,
particularly
around
the
hospital
that
could
use
some
other
services.
B
B
And
despite
the
address
on
physicians
drive,
the
property
is
really
at
the
corner
of
Savage
Road
in
Henry
Tech
Lindbergh.
So
it's
a
very
prominent
corner
and
deserves
you
know
a
real
active
use
if
I
may
say
any
further
discussion,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
islands.
Have
it
item
number
two:
okay,
this.
O
Is
on
line
Street
whoops
line,
Street
downtown,
it
is
41
and
41
and
a
half
line
Street
it's
less
than
a
tenth
of
an
acre.
It
is
requesting
rezoning
from
light
industrial
to
our
mixed-use
in
you
to
workforce
housing
classification
as
you'll
notice
from
the
image
here.
It
basically
is
surrounded
now
by
mu-2
workforce
housing.
That's
the
light
blue
that
you
see
on
the
image
here.
O
Currier
square
is
down
to
the
south,
and
you
can
see
that
in
some
of
the
images
you
can
see,
Currier
square
under
construction
in
that
image
and
a
new
mixed-use
development
is
on
the
north
side
of
Lyon
Street
that
will
get
under
construction
soon.
Here's
a
street
view
of
the
property
and
you
see
Currier
square
in
the
rear
behind
it
under
construction,
and
here
it
is
in
our
century
five
plan
map
that
shows
that
it's
part
of
the
urban
core,
which
is
the
designation.
O
T
B
To
council
with
proved
role
in
a
second
any
discussion,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
he
opposed
the
eyes
habit.
Number
three
is
deferred,
but
we're
still
going
to
announce
it,
and
since
it's
have
been
advertised
for
a
public
hearing,
if
anybody
would
like
to
speak
to
this
matter,
of
course,
they
may
do
so,
and.
O
So
this
property,
the
request,
is
to
go
be
added
to
the
accommodations
overlay.
The
accommodations
overlay
already
exists
on
the
property
to
the
west
as
designated
with
the
crosshatch.
It
is
both
front
on
Spring
Street.
There
is
also
some
other
accommodation,
zoning
further
down
spring
towards
Haygood
and
at
the
old
Windy
site,
further
down
between
spring
and
cannon
and
the
cross
down
here.
I
think
we
have
a
couple
of
aerial
images.
You
can
see
the
property
here.
It
was
formerly
home
to
a
gas
station
of
the
gas
station.
O
That's
recently
been
demolished,
it
will
have
an
assisted
living
facility
to
the
north,
east
or
eastern
side
of
the
property.
The
the
grassy
lot
that
you
see
in
this
image
will
become
an
assisted
living
facility
there
and
to
the
west,
is
already
zoned
for
accommodations
use.
There's
the
gas
station
that
was
demolished
in
the
site.
B
U
T
Guess
back
in
night,
in
the
50s,
that's
where
we
was
I
was
living
there
used
to
be
a
three-story
house.
There
way
back
in
the
50s
and
and
my
two
sisters
was
born
there
toward
the
Spring
Street
and
they
later
on
and
changed.
That's
what
he
had.
You
know
hotel
there.
It's
in
James
hotel
had
a
Piggly
Wiggly
there
up
in
that
area,
brilliant.
D
T
Think
I
would
like
the
city
is
sick,
the
seat
when
it
changed
those
streets,
name,
Hagen,
Avenue
and
Courtney
Drive.
When
I
grew
up,
it
was
sick
of
had
Street
and
Chestnut
Street
stop
on
the
phone.
When
does
these
nameless
things?
That's
all.
O
And
this
is
rezoning
request
in
West
Ashley.
It's
actually
not
a
rezoning.
Excuse
me
it's
a
zoning.
This
is
a
recently
annexed
property
at
the
corner
of
Magnolia
road
and
Live
Oak
Avenue,
the
you
see
on
the
image
here
the
properties
outlined.
There
were
three
subdivided
lots
that
were
subdivided
by
Charleston
County
before
annexation
to
the
city,
the
property
backs
up
to
single-family
houses,
down
Live
Oak
Avenue
across
the
street,
from
Live
Oak
and
then
to
the
northwest
is
a
multi-family
development
in
the
area
that
is
shown
in
yellow
on
this
image.
O
You
can
see
the
property
here
that
was
formerly
a
church
on
the
property
that
was
sold.
The
church
was
demolished,
it's
a
vacant
lot.
Now
and
again
it
has
reverted
to
the
three
originally
subdivided
Lots,
the
Charleston
County
subdivided
on
the
site
to
meet
the
city's
zoning
requirements
for
lots
of
that
size.
We
are
recommending
an
SR
for
zoning,
designation
for
the
property
and
both
staff
and
Planning
Commission
recommend
approval
for
SR
4
on
the
property.
O
V
O
B
O
Is
a
vacant
property
on
Stinson
Drive
in
West
Ashley?
This
is
another
pending
annexation.
It
is
just
north
of
the
West
Ashley
Greenway,
which
is
the
green
strip.
You
see
running
east-west
on
the
image
in
front
of
you
here.
It's
surrounded
on
three
sides
by
a
multi-family
development
shown
in
the
yellow.
The
requested
zoning
would
match
that
multifamily
development
with
the
D
r1f
designation.
So
it
would
be
exactly
the
same
density
as
those
properties
there.
O
It
is
across
the
street
from
single-family
houses
and
then,
of
course,
Savannah
Highway
is
further
to
the
north,
where
you've
got
commercial
development.
Our
new
fire
station
is
under
construction
on
the
properties
that
are
zone
G,
B
just
to
the
northeast
on
Savannah
Highway,
the
site.
We
have
some
other
images
here.
You
can
see
it's
a
wooded
site
now
again
in
the
midst
of
the
multifamily
development,
townhouse
development
that
surrounds
it,
here's
the
actual
site
from
the
street,
here's
the
property
to
the
north
of
it
with
Channel
houses
and
then
the
property
to
the
south.
W
So
my
name
is
Rhonda
Khalil
I
own
some,
a
couple
of
condos
in
Wildwood
townhomes
community.
It's
a
community
of
93
cute
cute
cute
little
condos
on
the
Greenway.
They
are
1970s
buildings
that
were
converted
into
condos
about
15
years
ago.
W
My
concern
is
that
the
the
lot
next
door,
if
it's
going
to
be
developed,
it's
going
to
need
to
be
filled
in
order
to
develop
it
and
that's
obviously
gonna
really
risk
causing
flooding
for
us
as
it
is
about
a
quarter
of
the
lot,
is
high
and
then
there's
a
dramatic
drop-off
like
four
or
five
feet
into
a
lowland
part
of
its
wetland.
I
think
a
small
part,
but
I
mean
it
is
it
is
low.
So
there
is
no
way
that
this
lot
can
support.
W
18
units
18,
which
is
what
they're
proposing,
but
up
to
20
I,
believe
I,
really
think
that
if
that
happens,
we
it's
gonna
flood
us
out
and
we
are
little
condos
so
for
a
maximum
of
128
thousand
they
rent
for
1250.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
money
to
deal
with
drainage
issues.
These
are
affordable
housing.
W
We
can't
afford
to
fix
flooding,
that's
caused
by
development
next
door,
so
my
request
is
that
it
remain
at
12
point
of
limitation
of
12
units
for
that
acre
for
defer
it
until
we
can
do
a
study
of
whether
that
lot
can
actually
support
that
number
of
units.
It
certainly
will
require
major
storm
water
research
if
that
lot
is
to
be
developed
and
it's
been
for
sale
since
2010
and
I
believe
under
contract
a
few
times
so
there's
something
troublesome
about
that
particular
a
lot
or
it
would
have
been
developed
way
before
now.
X
You
Miss
America
counsel.
My
name
is
Patrick
head
I
work
for
JGR
development
development
team.
This
is
a
lot
on
Stinson
Drive,
as
she
mentioned,
and
we
are
looking
to
annex
into
the
city.
We've
done
a
lot
of
projects
in
the
city
over
the
years
and
would
always
prefer
to
work
with
the
city.
When
we
can,
we
just
asked
that
it
be
the
same
zoning
as
what's
engulfing
it
now,
which
is
the
r1f,
as
she
mentioned
statutorily
that
zoning
would
allow
for
18
units.
X
X
Additionally,
the
project
is
intended
to
be
simple,
townhouses,
similar
to
what's
at
Wildwood
next
door,
with
a
few
of
those
units,
we'd
like
to
utilize
for
Gianna's
office
for
workforce,
housing,
teachers
or
firefighters.
Well,
I
appreciate
the
concern
of
the
neighbors.
You
know
this
project
will
have
to
go
through
numerous
reviews
with
the
city,
including
extensive
TRC,
and
you
know
we
won't
we'll
have
to
address
drainage
or
engineering
issues
in
that
process.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
B
O
S
O
More
density
in
the
city,
zoning
that
surrounds
it,
the
county
zoning,
is
at
12
units
and
a
curve
zoning
and
the
city.
Zoning
that
surrounds
it
is
as
the
folks
we're
talking
about.
It's
basically
19.4
units,
an
acre
so
with
the
acreage.
That's
there,
it
looks
like
potentially
as
many
as
18
units
could
be
there.
V
You
I
happen
to
be
at
the
Planning
Commission
when
this
item
was
heard
on
this
just
past
Monday
or
Wednesday
at
the
20th,
and
then
I
got
home
that
night
and
saw
my
City
Council
packet.
So
even
without
the
conversation
about
the
zoning
annexation
compared
to
zoning
I
had
written
myself
a
note
on
this
item
to
just
find
out
how
it
could
be
that
we
would
have
this
on
our
council
agenda
when
the
Planning
Commission
was
literally
voting
on
it,
the
night
that
the
council
agenda
was
published.
V
You
know
that
I'm
very
concerned
about
stormwater
management
planning
and
I,
don't
think
that
our
our
process
is
really
geared
to
right
now
evaluating
the
ability
of
the
stormwater.
Yes,
if
they're
wetlands,
then
of
course
those
are
subtracted
from
the
buildable
area,
but
in
terms
of
how
we're
going
to
see
this
property
developed
so
that
it
doesn't
have
any
negative
impact
on
the
neighborhood.
R
On
the
motion
to
defer,
I
was
going
to
speak.
Basically,
what
and
I'm
not
I
didn't
catch
his
name,
the
owner
of
the
property
or
the
owner.
There's
a
couple
of
things
about
this
number
one.
This
piece
of
property
is
surrounded
completely
by
similar
zoning.
So
it's
not
something
out
of
the
ordinary.
There
is
some
weather
and
all
this
property,
but
the
property
that's
really
develop.
Elizabeth
you're
standing
is
that
it's
higher
than
the
property
around
there.
So
it's
not
going.
R
If
there's
any
water
flowed
off
of
it,
it's
probably
already
flowing
off,
but
the
main
drainage,
channel
or
pipe
for
that
area
runs
through
I,
don't
know
what
quarter
it
is,
but
that
corner
closest
to
the
the
V
there.
The
drainage
pipe
runs
through
that
area
right
in
there
and
that
pipe
that
drains
that
whole
area
has
been
collapsed.
I
mean
it's
it's
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
function
at
all
and
my
understanding
was
that
the
developer
was
going
to
replace
all
that
or
fix
all
of
that
as
they
as
part
of
their
infrastructure.
R
To
make
this
that
work,
so
I
was
prepared
to
support
this
I
think
it
meets
all
the
standards
we
we've
got
to
add
accent,
and
then
we
got
his
own
it
we
more
here,
if
not
more
hearings,
but
we
got
more
votes
on
this.
So
my
understanding
was
that
I've
got
some
concerns
from
the
from
the
residence
but
I,
don't
think
I
think
fixing
that
hyping.
R
As
we've
said
many
times,
if
you
fix
the
pipes
that
are
are
in
the
ground,
you
clean
out
the
ditches
you
do
all
that
stuff
you've
got
to
solve
most
your
drainage,
the
product
of
the
fact.
This
property
has
already
got
wetlands
on
it,
so
you're
not
gonna,
be
able
to
build
all
of
it
that
allowing
it
to
come
into
the
city
and
zone.
It
like
this,
like
everything
around
it,
you're
doing
the
right
thing
so
anyway,
I'm
going
to
probably
vote
against
the
deferral
and
vote
in
favor
of
the.
U
U
I've
heard
a
lot
of
concerns
now
from
both
sides.
I
agree
that
pipe
needs
to
be
fixed
and
any
time
a
developer
is
gonna,
come
in
and
fix
it,
some
drainage,
that's
one
less
thing
that
we
have
to
do.
What
concerns
me
is
that
you
know
we
may
give
an
increase
in
density
when
we
haven't
seen
any
any
drainage
plans
and
what
concerns
me
about
that
is
I,
don't
know,
maybe
the
maybe
this
gentleman
can
answer
whether
y'all
have
met
with
the
county
and
showed
them
any
plans,
or
anything
like
that.
U
Y'all
have
a
putt
in
place
or
anything
like
that.
Have
you
as
anything
that
done
because
for
me,
whenever
we
give
some
a
density,
I
like
to
at
least
know
how
far
along
in
the
process
they've
gotten
that
baby
have
they
come
up
with
any
ideas?
Have
they
done
any
sort
of
planning
for
drainage,
because
once
we
give
them
the
zoning,
we
can't
take
it
back
away.
So
you
know
we
have
to
be
very,
very
careful
about
increasing
density
I've
totally.
It
makes
sense
to
give
them
the
same
density.
That's
around
them.
U
X
B
K
O
O
Are
the
final
reading
on
the
zoning
would
not
be
taking
place
until
the
property
was
annexed
in
the
city
but
they're
asking
for
a
first
reading
and
the
sequencing
based
on
when
the
annexation
petition
come
in
comes
came
in
because
sometimes
this
happens
and
we
bring
them
to
you
all
before
you
get
the
final
reading.
It
just
made
sense
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
and
get
your
recommendation
or
your
first
vote
on
it.
Okay,.
K
Well,
the
reason
I'm
concerned
is
I'm.
The
neighbor
that
could
get
flooded
over
this
I
mean
now
we
almost
a
bill
right
there.
Just
on
this
side,
I
got
the
other
side
of
the
Greenway
and
we
have
settle
the
woods
and
a
whole
bunch
of
other
stuff
back
on
that
side
and
so
I
got
it
going.
I'd
normally
go
bill
on
this
one,
but
I'd
like
to
see
a
little
bit
more
information.
First,
please
councilmember.
Y
Morgan,
can
you
go
back
to
the
other
slide?
It
shows
which
surrounding
property
that
there's
like
that
graph?
No,
the
so
we're
asking
to
do
if
I
understand
you
correctly.
If,
when
we
annexes
property
and
give
us
the
zoning,
it's
gonna
match
the
zoning.
That's
surrounding
all
the
other
property.
Yes,
sir,
and
once
we
an
excess
property,
we're
gonna
have
control
over
it,
yes
or
no.
It's
when
it
comes
out
before
us
or
development,
whatever
is
gonna
be
erected.
There
he's
got
to
go
through
our
regular
processes
with
our
regular
boards.
Y
We're
gonna
have
the
ability
at
this
point
to
control.
If
we
don't
an
exit
zone,
it
we
don't
an
action,
then
we
lose
control
over
a
tennis
career.
You
could
have
a
lack
of
a
better
way
of
saying
this,
a
hole
in
the
doughnut
and
that
that
can
have
the
negative
impact
and
we're
trying
to
avoid
so
well.
Y
I
urge
my
council
members,
who
listen
to
what
you
are
suggesting,
follow
councilmember
Moody's
lead
on
this
that
once
we
an
access,
property
and
zone
it
that
it's
consistent
with
the
current
zoning,
that's
surrounding
it
on
all
three
sides.
Then
we
can
have
the
ability
to
control
what
your
concern
about.
If
we
defer
this,
we
may
scare
this
person
off
and
not
come
into
the
city,
and
then
then
we
lose
the
ability
to
control
what
we
want
to
do
with
this
property.
Z
Z
This
good
lady
needs
to
know
in
our
process
by
subtracting
out
the
wetlands.
It
reduces
the
number
of
units
a
person
could
do.
We
also
have
the
1984
study
and
I
want
to
bet
you
that
in
that
study,
it
probably
calls
for
a
larger
pipe
than
the
one.
That's
actually
collapsed.
Okay,
when
this
developer
develops
it
in
the
city,
you
better
believe
you
can
come
up
to
that
higher
standard.
Z
Z
So
you
have
an
impact
tonight,
so
I
think
the
final
product
would
be
probably
a
reduced
product,
a
reduced
number
of
units
and
because
the
engineering
will
speak
to
that
and
you're
going
to
have
a
larger
pipe,
then,
whatever
the
county
hands
in
there
right
now
and
you're,
probably
gonna
have
a
updated,
stripped
down
drainage
ordinance
before
this
is
development,
because
our
drainage
guideline
is
going
to
be
developed
before
this
comes
with
TRC.
So
the
process
will
be
a
better
process
if
developed
in
the
city,
with
all
due
respect,
our
colleagues
in
the
county.
V
To
retract
my
motion
to
the
first
okay,
I
would
like
to
have
my
two
questions
answered.
Please
I,
don't
I
would
like
like
for
myself
and
whoever's
interested
here
in
the
public
realm
III,
don't
understand
how
it
is
that
we
can
have
this
item
on
our
when
it
was
being
heard
the
same
night
at
the
Planning
Commission.
So
that's
just
a
process.
Question
and
I
also
don't
understand
how
it
is
that
we
can
be
voting
on
the
zoning.
If
this
is
a
we've
already.
Given
this
a
first
reading,
that's.
O
They've
requested
deferral
on
those
so
that
they
could
be
heard
tonight
for
the
first
reading
on
the
zoning
to
know
where
council
stood
on
the
zoning
and
that
we
do
that
on
a
number
of
occasions
with
the
annexations,
nothing
can
be
zoned
until
finally
zoned
until
you've,
given
it
final
readings,
so
that
would
occur
at
a
future
meeting
and
you
would
actually
give
the
actual
vote
on
the
annexation
at
that
meeting
before.
You
would
then
vote
on
the
zoning
at
the
same
meeting.
So.
O
O
Again,
it
had
first
reading
I
guess
last
month
and
then
that
allowed
us
to
put
in
on
the
Planning
Commission
agenda
and
get
their
recommendation.
That
then
comes
forward
tonight
to
you
all,
and
then
you
all
could
give
it
a
first
reading
based
on
what
you've
heard
and
if
you
give
it
a
first
reading,
then
at
a
later
meeting,
probably
two
weeks,
you
would
have
the
final
votes
on
the
second
and
third
votes
on
the
annexation
and
then
immediately
move
for
the
second
final
votes
on
the
zoning
on
the
property.
Okay,.
V
O
V
O
AA
Council,
member
seeking
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
just
very
briefly,
and
what
is
a
draconian
process
to
get
annexed
in
and
get
zoned
I
mean.
This
actually
seems
to
me
a
pretty
good
example
of
us
moving
something
parallel
and
forward,
so
they
all
come
together
at
the
same
time
giving
us
an
opportunity
to
speak
to
it.
It's
still
slow
and
one
of
the
things
that
is
for
sure,
as
I
do
believe.
AA
It
was
said
already,
but
I'm
sure
we
can
get
the
developer
to
agree
that
our
new
stormwater
requirements
is
gonna
are
going
to
be
in
place
and
this
property
is
gonna,
be
subject
to
it.
It's
a
high
piece
of
property
with
a
crushed
pipe.
That's
gonna
have
new
stormwater
regulations
put
on
it,
which
is
exactly
the
piece
of
property
we
want
to
have
those
regulations
on,
because
it's
the
high
point,
it's
the
crown
of
that
little
triangle,
so
I
do
think
we're
doing
the
right
thing.
AA
I
agree
with
councilmember
moody,
I,
don't
know
if
we
still
have
a
motion
to
defer
I'm,
not
gonna
vote
for
it.
I
think
we
need
to
okay.
So
let's
give
this
first
reading
and
see
where
it
all
goes
from
there.
We
can
have
conversations
with
the
developer
in
between
to
make
sure
they
get
the
picture
on
what
the
storm
regular
storm
water
regulations
will
be
and
how
they're
gonna
work
together
to
make
sure
it
all
fits,
and
we
still
got
the
freeboard
issues
going
out
there,
which,
who
knows
how
that's
all
gonna
go.
AA
X
R
I
just
want
to
make
one
further
point:
this
whole
section
of
land-
that's
part
of
the
bear-
alluded
to
the
doo-wop
area
that
the
actual
drainage
on
this
lot
goes
down.
Canada,
where
the
new
hotel
is
that
Jimmy
Palast.
This
is
building
this
way
yeah.
It
goes
right
in
that
way
and
then
goes
under
savanna
highway
in
an
undersized
pipe
feeds
into
the
Citadel
mall
drainage
basin,
which
compounds
and
causes
more
problems.
There
goes
around
by
Costco
and
out
into
the
Stono
River.
Okay.
R
So
that's
the
way
the
drainage
on
this
lot
goes
now
and
I'm
hopeful
that
this
whole
area
through
here
that
that
can
be
diverted
some
way
down
the
Greenway
and
right
straight
into
the
Stono
River.
Without
in
that
way,
we
gain
more
capacity
in
the
the
circle
ball
basin,
so
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
that
we
can
control
here.
If
we
ant
access
and
take
care
of
it
so
and
I
don't
think
the
density
is
gonna.
Be
that
bad,
but
I
just
want
to
point
that
out.
R
A
B
N
You,
mr.
mayor,
this
is
an
ordinance
that
would
help
to
create
more
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
Charleston
and
I
believe
you've,
given
it
a
first
and
a
second
second
read,
it
comes
to
you
from
the
Planning
Commission,
so
the
intent
here
is
to
provide
more
opportunities
to
create
single-family,
affordable
homes
and
cut
bureaucratic
red
tape.
This
doesn't
accelerate
growth,
it
does
not
award
additional
density.
It
just
helps
to
build
more
affordable
housing.
N
We've
reviewed
the
staff
have
reviewed
the
existing
ordinances
and
case
studies
of
built,
affordable
housing
projects
that
had
to
appear
before
the
Board
of
Zoning
Appeals,
most
of
our
single-family
detached
homes
that
we
build
have
to
go
for
some
type
of
variance,
whether
it's
for
lot
coverage,
setback
or
frontage.
So
this
would
be
a
conditional
use
that
would
apply
only
to
affordable
house
that
would
not
apply
to
market
rate
housing.
So
only
an
affordable
house
would
be
eligible
for
these
streamlined,
Assent
incentives.
N
It
reduces
the
setback
in
frontage
requirements,
and
these
houses
would
of
course,
still
fit
in
the
neighborhood
character.
Doesn't
change
anything
about
the
parking
off
street
parking
still
still
required,
creates
flexible
lot
standards
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
effect
specifically
on
Ashley
pulmonary,
though
my
staff
have
studied
this
extensively,
and
this
is
a
basic
zoning
map
that
shows
the
zoning
of
Asheville
Maryville.
N
Nearly
all
of
the
parcels
in
these
neighborhoods
are
zoned
for
single-family
use,
and
this
is
a
map
that
breaks
down
the
parcels
in
Nashville
Maryville
by
the
width
of
the
law.
There's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
50
by
100
foot
and
historic
lot
pattern,
which
is
a
pattern
that
does
exist
here.
However,
if
you
look
at
this,
the
key.
N
The
key
item
here
are
the
red
Lots,
the
sort
of
maroon
color,
and
those
are
lots
that
are
already
at
less
than
50
feet
of
frontage
and
the
Lots
that
are
in
the
in
the
groom
are
lots
that
are
between
15
100
feet
of
frontage
and
then
those
are
in
the
yellow
are
over
a
hundred
feet
of
frontage.
So
there's
really
quite
a
bit
of
variance
here
in
variation
in
the
law
sort
of
or
time
naturally,.
N
The
key
thing
here
is
that
we
really
believe
that
this
ordinance
will
not
negatively
impact
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city
of
Charleston.
It
will
accelerate
the
construction
of
affordable
housing
everywhere
in
the
city
and
eliminate
the
extra
step
before
the
BCA
which,
as
you
all
know,
can
add
a
month
or
two
months
to
the
process
and
for
affordable
housing.
Every
minute
counts
to
deliver
the
construction
of
homes
affordably.
N
The
last
thing
that
I'll
say
about
this
I'm
going
to
have
an
aerial
here
we
counted
somewhere
between
40
and
50
vacant,
lots
just
in
Nashville
Maryville
vacant
lofts.
Those
lots
are
going
to
be
built
upon,
they
will
be
built
upon
and
those
will
either
be
larger
market
rate
homes
or
they
will
be
affordable,
smaller
homes
they
will
be
built
upon.
This
is,
in
essence,
an
anti
gentrification
ordinance.
It
is
as
close
as
you
can
get
to
accelerate
the
delivery
of
affordable
housing
everywhere
it
throughout
the
city
in
Rosemont.
N
Our
own
houses
that
we
have
built
in
Rosemont
are
affordable
houses.
By
our
count,
nearly
every
one
of
them
had
to
go
before
the
BCA
for
some
variance,
adding
one
or
two
months
to
the
process
every
single
time.
So
we
think
that
this
is
something
citywide
that
will
really
be
beneficial
to
our
own
efforts
and
to
the
very
few
efforts
of
developers
who
build
completely
affordable,
single-family
detached
housing.
All
of
those
are,
of
course,
few
and
far
between.
N
Unfortunately,
so
with
that
I'll
say
this
comes
to
you
with
a
recommendation
of
approval
from
staff
and
a
recommendation
of
disapproval
from
Planning
Commission's
that
will
require
10
posts
before
each
night.
B
AB
AB
That
would
create
a
great
problem
for
the
community,
which
includes
the
roads,
are
very
narrow,
very
traffic,
the
parking
and
probably
some
flooding
problems
too,
because
we've
recognized
some
flooding
issues
since
the
affordable,
housings
houses
have
been
built
recently
have
nothing
against
affordable
housing.
Seven
have
already
been
built
from
the
ashley
go
community
and
they
look
great.
It
enhances
the
community.
The
concern
is
billing
houses
or
these
smaller
Lots
about
the
create
more
houses,
don't
so
close
together,
and
we
would
take
away
from
the
character
of
our
community.
AB
AC
AD
My
name
is
Annette,
be
smart
and
I
reside
at
9:45,
Sycamore
Avenue
in
Asheville
and
I'm
Maxine
y'all
to
vote
no
I've
talked
with
representative
Keith
Lehren.
If
that
our
neighborhood
meeting
he
promised
us
that
the
Lots
that
he
owned
in
Ashlee
will
would
be
fifty
five
hundred
and
a
Maxine.
You
please
keep
your
promise
that
you
made
for
us.
We
want
our
neighborhood
I
love
our
neighborhood
and
we
wanted
to
be
uniform.
AD
The
Lots
when
you
make
it
smaller
than
50.
By
hundred
it,
creates
a
problem.
The
5500
is
not
large,
you
don't
have
no
Patri.
Really.
You
don't
have
no
parking
space
that
much.
If
you
park
your
car
in
your
yard,
you
don't
have
room
for
nobody
else
and
the
streets
being
so
small.
When
we
have
high
C.
If
ur
ambulance
have
to
come
in,
there
depends
on
how
to
people
park.
Then
you
got
a
problem
with
the
end.
AD
That's
coming
through,
then
I
see
if
our
area
and
if
our
community,
if
it's
how
you
say,
bend
this
way
for
over
a
hundred
years.
Why
do
we
have
to
change
now?
I,
don't
have
anything
against
affordable
housing,
but
we
already
have
seven
in
there
if
the
affordable
house,
it's
supposed
to
be
dispersed
throughout
the
other
areas,
then
put
some
of
them
someplace
else.
AD
AE
Good
evening,
I'm
Diana
Hamilton
I
live
at
12:19
Forbes
Avenue
on
the
marybelle
side.
I
concur
with
everything
that
has
been
saying
so
far.
We
asked
that
the
City
Council
vote
no
to
override
the
Planning
Commission
vote.
I
beg
to
disagree.
The
quality
of
life
would
be
impacted
negatively
in
our
neighborhood,
and
that
is
our
primary
issue
here.
Also.
In
addition,
we
ask
that
the
city
come
up
with
a
mechanism
or
plan
to
protect
the
oldest
platted
neighborhood
in
West
Ashley
having
been
planted
in
1885.
We
thank
you.
Thank.
AF
Thanks
everyone,
my
name
is
Bridget
Lussier
I'm,
the
president
of
Magnolia,
neighborhood
and
I
am
very
opposed
to
this
ordinance.
I
am
all
for
affordable
housing.
If
this
ordinance
was
an
affordable,
housing,
ordinance
I
would
support
it.
However,
it
is
not.
It
should
be
called
the
sweeping
density
increase
and
setback
and
frontage
requirement,
decrease,
ordinance
and
I
think
if
it
was
titled
that
this
room
would
be
full
today,
because
it
affects
all
of
the
city
of
Charleston
anywhere
that
doesn't
have
an
HOA
to
protect
their
home.
AF
I
do
not
see
in
any
way
shape
or
form
in
the
written
language
of
the
ordinance
how
you
are
going
to
be
able
to
make
these
homes
affordable.
The
ordinance
only
applies
to
the
size
of
the
homes
and
the
income
or
the
size
of
the
the
setbacks.
The
frontage
requirement,
the
density
and
that
the
income
level
of
the
people
who
buy
or
rent
the
home
fall
under
120
percent
of
the
average
if
it's
purchased
and
under
80
percent
of
average.
If
it's
rented,
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
cost
of
the
home
you're.
AF
Not
you
don't
have
the
authority
to
do
that.
As
Christopher
Morgan
pointed
out
at
the
Planning
Commission
meeting,
where
this
idea
was
shot
down,
so
I
have
two
single-spaced
pages
of
notes
here
about
the
reasons.
So
the
main
thing
is,
it
doesn't
address.
The
cost
of
housing.
Unintended
consequence
could
be
residential
flooding.
Unlike
what
was
discussed
earlier,
precipitation
that
falls
on
impervious
surface,
like
a
yard
or
unbuilt
lot
goes
into
the
ground.
AF
It
doesn't
run
off
when
you
fill
the
lot
with
pervious
surfaces,
it
does
run
off,
so
this
could
cause
flooding,
and
we
don't
want
that.
The
idea
that
developers
are
going
to
develop
a
property
and
not
get
the
most
that
they
can
out
of
it
without
something
in
the
ordinance
to
compel
them
to
do
so
is
I
think
really
a
fantastic
idea,
but
it's
not
reality.
I
wish
it
was,
and
perhaps
mr.
AF
Wagner
is
or
councilman
Wagner
will
do
that
with
his
lot
and
if
you
go
for
a
variance
which
would
be
the
process
to
do
that
by
all
means
have
at
it.
But
nobody
knows
about
this.
I
am
active
in
all
of
this
stuff.
I
get
so
many
emails.
It's
ridiculous
and
I
not
have
known
about
this.
I
would
have
read
it.
AF
Fordable
housing
ordinance
sounds
great,
but
that's
not
what
it
is
so
I
have
these
eight
points,
but
the
main
thing
is:
is
that
the
critical
assumption
that
people
are
going
to
charge
less
for
these
Lots
is
untrue,
and
if
you're,
one
of
the
council
members
that
I
emailed
earlier
with
an
example
from
in
Maryville
where
a
house
was
purchased
for
sixty
thousand
dollars
two
years
ago,
one
on
the
market
in
January
for
349,
it
is
under
contract
for
339
right
now.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
I
Some
reason
I,
don't
know
why
they
are
but
I'm
going
to
tell
you
one
thing:
the
people
from
nationally
over
against
this
from
the
beginning
before
truly
was
brought
up.
One
of
the
things
that
nasty
vote
was
problems
when
it
was
annexed
into
the
city
of
Charleston,
that
those
are
lots
of
that
people
would
remain
5,500.
I
This
will
be
the
second
time
that
the
city
would
be
remaking
on
the.
Hence
the
price
went
to
the
planet.
Women
was
able
to
win
today.
Every
Institute
did
the
research
to
prove
what
the
city
had
promised
a
that's
when
the
BCA
decided
to
go
home
with
anyway
and
do
not
approve
the
barriers
that
the
gentleman
wanted
to
come
to
vote
is
that
thing
works?
If
you
look
at
that
time,
but
we
annex
people
into
the
city,
we
promise
them
something.
Then
years
later
we'll
be
making
on.
This
was
a
good
neighborhood
with
you.
I
A
D
Z
The
good
lady
that
came
up,
but
doesn't
matter
fact,
is
one
of
my
good
neighborhood
associations
also
and
said
that
the
property
that
I
have
spoke
directly
to
me
is
not
fifty
five
hundred,
that's
just
incorrect.
Its
manufacture,
plat
I've,
taken
the
plat
two
Neighborhood
Association.
They
saw
that
almost
two
years
ago.
Each
property
has
50-foot
frontage
and
the
depth
of
100
feet.
So
that's
just
not
accurate.
Z
This
will
reduce
the
cost
of
housing.
You
know
why,
because
it
reduces
the
cost
of
land.
You
only
qualify
for
this
ordinance.
If
you
build
affordable
housing,
if
you
build
market
rate
housing,
you
do
not
qualify
for
the
zoning.
It
would
be
great
if
a
lot
of
developers
in
the
city
of
Charleston,
say
I
saw
this
ordinance
and
I
want
to
build
affordable
housing.
The
problem
is,
we,
don't
have
the
private
sector
billing,
affordable
housing,
we
know
the
explanation
to
exponential
cost
of
housing
and
is
methane.
Z
The
lady
who
pointed
out
the
house
at
sixty
thousand
in
Nashville
that's
on
the
contract
for
three
thirty,
whatever
that's
a
good
example
of
the
escalation.
If
that
is
in
fact
is
true,
a
house
bought
for
60s
on
the
contract
for
three
thirty
three
of
was,
and
actually,
though,
how
do
you
do
something
about
that?
Z
It
is
not
the
cost
of
a
2x4,
it's
not
the
cost
of
the
shingles.
The
land
cost
is
what's
getting
away
from
all
of
us
in
the
city
of
Charleston,
as
land
costs
increase,
that's
reflected
in
the
final
cost
of
housing
everywhere,
but
to
limit
those
comments.
I
want
to
correct
that
issue
about
me,
developing
smaller
Lots
than
what's
already
flatted
and
Ashlee.
That's
just
not
accurate!
Yes,
sir,
but
in
the
months
of
discussing
this
with
my
college,
councilman
Lewis
knows
this.
Z
The
neighborhood
through
discussion
with
councilman
Lewis
and
myself
came
up
with
what
we
thought
was
a
pretty
good
compromise
and
I
followed
it
that
compromise,
but
it
did
not
make
it
before
the
Planning
Commission.
So
my
and
it's
a
compromise
that
I
believe
would
protect
Asheville
and
certainly
protect
this
ordinance
for
affordability
throughout
the
city.
The.
Z
So
now
it's
going
to
require
us
10
out
of
13,
and
you
all
knew
we've
been
working
on
this
I
think
you
know
that
we've
been
working
on
this
I
think
since
late
September,
it's
been
at
the
Planning
Commission
for
five
months
before
it
came
back
in
front
of
us.
We
put
a
lot
of
work
into
trying
to
create
a
piece
of
legislation
that
specifically
speaks
to
affordable
housing,
but
for
smaller
Lots
you
would
not
have
an
sandbar,
but
for
smaller
lofts
you
would
not
have
the
French
Quarter.
Z
We
just
got
through
talking
about
an
example
of
affordable
housing
that
we,
we
didn't,
give
an
applause,
but
we
certainly
saluted
that
mr.
John
and
Shaw
Johnson
is
building
the
Katrina
cottages
on
the
cost
of
that
one
lot
was:
seventy
thousand
and
three
units
going
to
be
placed
now.
This
is
on
the
peninsula.
There's
going
to
be
placed
on
that,
so
that
seventy
thousand
is
going
to
be
spread
across
the
cost
of
one
lot
of
70,000
will
be
spread
across
the
cost
of
three
homes
that
does
reduce
the
price
of
housing.
Z
My
amendment
would
be
if
the
motion
is
withdrawn,
if
there
were
bortion
is
withdrawn,
that
we
passed
this
work
of
overlay
district
that
protects
historic,
townships
and
municipality
as
an
except
municipalities
as
a
chartered
municipalities,
as
a
exception
to
this
ordinance,
now
I,
don't
know
of
any
townships
that
were
charted
in
the
city
of
Charleston.
There
may
be
some
other
ones
around
it.
The
only
one
that
I
haven't
familiar
with
is
Mary
the
town
of
Maryville.
Z
Z
The
idea
of
trying
to
protect
the
historic
Township-
that's
there,
we
are
all
on
the
same
page
with
them.
I
am
not
in
disagreement
with
them
as
a
matter
of
fact,
if
it
were
not
for
the
dialogue
going
back
and
forth,
having
the
ability
to
agree
and
disagree,
I
don't
think
that
solution
would
have
bubbled
up.
Quite
frankly,
they
will
talk
about
you
know
putting
it
in
with
the
historic,
historic
Charleston
or
whatever
that.
Would
he
call
the
thing
out.
V
Z
Preservation
Society
and
all
of
this
that
would
be
over
barracks
in
that
community
couldn't
paint
shutters
on
them
how
their
houses,
without
getting
approval
an
exception
from
from
this
rule,
do
to
the
township
that
previously
existed
certainly
makes
sense.
Overlay
district
can
be
drawn
over
Maryville
and
Asheville.
That
would
create
that,
and
we
just
need
to
get
the
legalities
of
that
done,
but
to
accept
an
affordable
ordinance
that
would
apply
to
the
city
of
Charleston,
and
you
only
qualify
for
this.
V
Certainly
would
support
some
sort
of
an
amendment
that
does
exactly
what
you're
talking
about
for
a
Maryville
Ashland
bill.
I
have
two
things:
I
first
I
have
a
question
that
I
hope
you
can
answer.
Mr.
Lindsey
and
Justin
remind
us
in
the
chamber.
What
are
the
terms
of
the
affordability
I
know
that
it's
the
less
than
120
percent
area
meeting
income
for
anyone,
any
property,
that's
going
to
be
owned
and
80
percent
or
less
of
any
property.
That
would
remain
rental.
But
for
how
long
would
we
enjoy
that
affordability?
That.
N
V
V
N
B
B
So
this
makes
it
easier
for
affordable
housing,
developer
or
the
city
to
to
get
the
approval
to
to
adjust
to
a
smaller
law
and
make
them
more
affordable.
So
I
would
just
like
to
say:
I
applaud,
councilmember
wearing
for
pursuing
the
effort
to
try
to
make
affordable
housing
more
affordable
in
the
city
of
Charleston
and
and
we
all
have
that
common
goal.
B
Secondly,
I
must
say
in
all
seriousness
in
reality
that
given
that
requirement
that
you
would
have
to
legally
dedicate
your
property
for
90
years
to
be
sold
to
someone
within
that
income
range,
very
few
people
are
going
to
do
that
and
you're
not
going
to
find
this
happening
very
often.
In
fact,
the
only
people
that
normally
do
it
is
us
and
and
the
Housing
Authority
and
some
nonprofit
housing
developer.
So
that
being
said,
applaud
the
effort.
B
I
do
think
we
need
to
respect
the
wishes
of
these
neighborhoods
they've
been
very
consistently
concerned
about
it,
and-
and
you
know
it,
it's
part
of
protecting
the
real
and
perceived
quality
of
life
in
their
neighborhood
and
one
of
the
goals,
particularly
of
the
West
Aisling
master
plan,
was
to
preserve
neighborhoods.
So
I
would
support
an
amendment
as
proposed
as
discussed
here.
B
It
had
been
it's
not
on
the
floor
that
it
would
exclude
these
neighborhoods,
because
I
feel
like
the
overall
goal
is
good,
even
though
I
don't
think
a
lot
of
people
would
take
advantage
of
it
adds
it
as
motion
stands
without
the
amendment,
I
would
vote
to
support
the
denial
disapproval.
Yes,
sir
councilmember
shade
Thank.
Y
You
mayor
and
the
as
you've
mentioned
earlier,
the
plan
Wes
actually
specifically
talked
about
maintaining
the
character
of
these
neighborhoods,
particularly
Maryville
Asheville
and
Magnolia
neighborhoods,
and
this
Hamilton
has
schooled
me
on
numerous
occasions
as
to
the
historical
significance
of
this
property,
councilman,
Lewis
and
council,
over
where
myself,
at
the
last
neighborhood
association
meeting,
took
a
tour
of
the
area.
We
looked
at
this
and
houses
that
were
under
construction
in
in
my
concern
with
this
property
in
mr.
Y
Y
My
question
with
mr.
Lindsey
is:
what
other
tools
do
we
have
available
to
avoid
having
this
property
eternity
of
it
being
gentrification
taking
place
into
this
area?
It
is
I
think
we,
the
intent
here,
is
to
provide
a
mechanism
for
affordable
housing
outside
the
Maryville,
actually
bill
and
Magnolia
property
area.
So
what
can
we
do?
Procedurally,
if
we
do
that,
we
put
this
umbrella
around
this,
this
neighborhood.
What
other
steps
do
we
have
available?
Well,
the
tools
we
have
available
to
protect
us
these
neighborhoods,
to
take
care
of
the
concern
that
you
just
raised
are.
N
We
need
to
study
those
areas
specifically,
of
course,
but
you
know
an
ordinance
like
this-
does
not
stop
gentrification.
It
doesn't
prevent
houses
from
being
built
at
market
rate,
on
Lots
and
being
sold
for
lots
of
money.
It
doesn't
stop
that
it
just
speeds
up
the
delivery
of
affordable
housing
to
be
built
on
those
laws
before
they
can
become
expensive
market
rate
homes,
and
if
we
were
to
study
this
again,
that's
basically
what
I
would
tell
you
again,
because
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
regulate
property
values.
Y
B
Y
Y
U
I
AG
AH
Counsel
I
want
us
to
be
mindful
of
if
the
city
of
Charleston
or
those
organizations
that
we
support
are
not
building
on
Lots
than
who
is
our
market
rate
developers,
which
means
you're
going
to
have
houses
that
costs
more
in
those
particular
neighborhoods
and
I
have
much
respect
for
Ashe
Louisville
Maryville
community.
My
mother
grew
up
west
of
the
Ashley,
but
I
want
us
to
be
mindful
of,
and
you
all
will
see
when
I
bring
the
contracts
before
you
for
the
houses
that
we
built.
AH
We
complied
because
that's
what
we
were
asked
to
do
relative
to
the
houses
that
we
built
in
that
community,
but
those
houses
are
expensive,
they
are
affordable,
but
just
as
you
saw
subsidy
that
will
come
on
those
properties,
those
three
properties
that
we're
constructing
and
the
west
side
and
east
side
same
rule
applies
here
and
it
may
be
higher.
So
let
me
just
share
that
with
you,
because
construction
costs
right
now
are
pretty
phenomenal,
and
so
we've
already
seen
in
that
community
because
it
is
a
desirable
community.
AH
The
cost
of
lots
are
gone
up
so
soon
we'll
be
priced
out
and
we
can't
build
in
that
community.
So,
naturally,
if
we
aren't
building
the
market
rate,
folks
will
be
building.
So
we
need
to
be
cognizant
that,
yes,
we're
talking
about
Maryville
Ashley
ville,
but
this
is
an
application
for
the
entirety
in
the
city
of
Charleston
and
to
the
point
relative
to
bza
anytime.
We
have
to
stop
production
to
go
to
a
committee
and
request
approval
that
slows
down
production
so,
whereas
we
would
like
to
see
affordable
housing
enhanced.
AH
I
sat
at
a
conference
that
the
economic
conference
that
the
chamber
sponsor
today
and
the
one
one
of
the
three
things
that
the
economist
ended
with
was
we
aren't
building
enough
housing.
Well,
surprise,
surprise.
We
know
that,
but
if
this
is
one
that
actually
supports
the
construction
of
housing,
we
just
want
to
be
cognizant
of
the
decision
we
make
relative
to
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
D
Y
Z
Z
The
legalities
of
the
overlay,
which
we've
done
overlays
for
school
districts
and
overlays,
are
very
successful
in
this
city
and
I've
said
this
a
number
of
times
at
the
Neighborhood
Association
meeting
the
threat
to
ash
the
Comerica
is
not
in
particular
a
Schlegel
because
it
borders
on
the
water
is
not
smaller
Lots.
It
is
developers
coming
in
buying
two
three
houses
at
a
time
and
abandoning
property
Lots.
Z
The
5500
no
argument
with
me,
but
the
moment
somebody
comes
in
and
buys
two
or
three
Lots
and
abandoned
property
Lots.
Then
you
begin
to
put
McMansions
on
the
waterway
that
drives
up
the
price
of
housing
exponentially.
There
is
nothing
that
prevents
that
and
I've
made
mention
to
the
neighborhood.
We
need
to
come
up
with
a
mechanism
hopefully
which
the
neighborhood
would
have
to
agree
to.
The
property
owners.
Would
have
to
agree
to
I
suspect
not
to
have
because
you
lose
the
Billie
concept
when
property
lines
are
abandoned.
Z
The
property
that
I
was
called
out
on
is
306
feet
on
frontage,
on
Main
Street
and
we
putting
six
Lots
there.
That's
right,
we
putting
six
Lots.
Then.
If
you
divide
306
by
six,
you
get
50
some-odd
feet
per
lot.
That's
just
a
fact,
but
suppose
I
didn't
put
650
by
a
hundred
Lots,
then,
and
I
want
to
put
two
houses
at
150
foot
frontage
I
could
put
a
pretty
big
house
there,
and
I
could
charge
a
pretty
good
price
for
them.
So
that's
not
my
goal.
Z
I'm
no
longer
there,
so
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
come
up
with
the
mechanism-
and
this
is
what
councilman
Shaheed
may
have
been
headed
down-
to
protect
this
community
more
and
even
Magnolia-
about
not
having
property
lines
be
abandoned
in
these
little
villages.
Let
me
tell
you
that
go
a
long
way
to
keeping
it
as
a
village,
as
opposed
to
eventually
being
bought
out
in
the
character
really
being
changed
in
a
large
way
and.
B
V
Just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
of
points,
because
this
goes
back
to
I
think
that
I'm
gonna
continue
to
return
to
in
our
ability
to
work
better
with
the
Planning
Commission,
200,
lanning's
names
and
I.
Do
think
that
those
of
us
who
are
at
the
joint
work
session
that
we
had
back
in
December
left
there.
Knowing
that
we
were
pretty
much
all
in
agreement
that
this
kind
of
ordinance.
V
Was
going
toward
achieving
the
spirit
of
the
law?
None
of
us
wanted
to
see
affordable
housing,
bump
up
against
the
constraints
and
the
difficulties
that
were
being.
You
know.
We
explained
to
us
with
being
to
get
variances
and
all
of
that,
and
certainly
no
one
at
that
joint
meeting,
wanted
to
make
a
move.
That
would
be
detrimental
to
the
oldest
black
neighborhood
and
within
in
West
Ashley.
V
So
we
left
that
meeting
agreeing
that
we
were
going
to
have
our
staff
and
others
think
more
strategically
about
how
we
might
be
able
to
benefit
affordable
housing
as
well
as
protect
maryville
ashley,
though
any
other
neighborhoods.
That
would
be
similarly
at
risk
of
gentrification,
and
then
we
never
had
another
joint
work
session
and
the
only
reason
that
it
took
them
five
meetings
to
take
this
boat
council
member
wearing.
V
It
was
because,
for
those
reasons
they
wanted
to
protect
the
people
that
hurt
that
were
being
faithful
to
educate
them
about
the
the
impact
of
doing
something
like
this,
and
they
also
wanted
to
hear
from
staff
about
better
ways
of
doing
affordable
housing.
So
I
I
do
think
that
that
we're
onto
something
here
in
terms
of
having
an
overlay
district
I
I
would
recommend
that
we
vote
in
favor
of
mr.
Lewis
at
councilmember
Lewis's
motion
so
that
we
can
send
it
back
to
the
planning
staff
for
an
overlay
design.
V
U
Kind
of
unrelated,
but
related
to
this
before
we
vote
on
new
terms
for
these
Commission
members,
I
want
to
see
how
often
they're
showing
up
to
these
meetings,
because
I
think
it's
despicable
that
we've
got
five
people
that
show
up
these
meetings.
I
know
this
isn't
the
first
time
so
I
know.
One
of
you
two
is
that
all
the
meetings
and
I'm
sure
they're
taking
attendance
I'll
be
happy
to
vote
these
people
off
that
aren't
showing
up
these
meetings.
All.
Z
T
N
Z
AG
B
AI
D
Z
B
Then
the
motion
on
floor
any
further
discussion,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
and
opposed
the
eyes
happen.
Next
is
approval
of
our
City
Council
minutes
from
February
12
and
he
changes
deletions
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
he
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
next?
Is
our
citizens
participation,
it's
material?
We
have
short
list
of
folks
to
speak,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
y'all
it's
given
the
meeting
has
a
long
a
little
bit
to
keep
your
remarks
to
a
minute
and
a
half
90
seconds.
B
From
the
USS
Charleston
y'all
have
a
great
week
in
Charleston
this
week
and
we
will
see
you
Friday
and
Saturday
and
we
had
on
everyone's
debts
a
piece
of
artwork
of
the
USS
Charleston
and
there's
a
gentleman
I
forget
his
name
he's
a
amateur
artist
and
he
does
these
pencil
drawings
of
every
us
as
a
new
US
Navy
vessel,
and
he
did
they
rob
Johnson
as
well.
He
was
here
when
we
had
the
commissioning
of
the
Ralph
Johnson,
so
this
same
artist
did
this
print
of
the
USS
Charleston
that
you
all
have
on
your
deaths.
B
A
L
L
L
L
Mission
is
to
bury
the
dead
body
of
racism,
which
was
killed
it
in
1975,
with
the
formula
that
was
given
to
humanity
a
thousand
years
before
it
was
started
by
Prophet
Muhammad's,
high
volume
and
volume
of
information
is
what
happened
here
on
the
18th
and
the
information
that
I
have
listened
to
you
hands
this
evening.
Thank
you.

AA
AJ
Nobody
knew
about
it
and
basically
blindsided
everybody
I
want
to
know
who
knew
about
it.
I
want
to
know
who's
been,
who
was
signing
off
on
this
stuff
and
really
I
think
we
need
to
start
looking
at
getting
a
sled
investigation,
and
it
is
I
mean
these
engineers
over
there
miss
calculated
the
grades
on
all
the
pipe
they
put
in
what
we
call
a
0.35
percent.
Well,
guess
what
they
missed
it
by
a
full
decimal
point.
This
is
a
first-grade
mistake
should
have
been
point
zero.
AJ
Three
five
I
am
truly
concerned
that
we're
getting
taken
to
the
cleaners
by
these
folks
and
somebody
needs
to
start
an
investigation
into.
What's
going
on.
With
this
thing,
I
mean
I
have
never
seen
a
project
this
outrageously
over-budget
with
nobody
knowing
about
it
to
the
last
minute.
Somebody's
got
their
hand
in
the
cookie
jar,
bang.
AK
My
name
is
James
Ledley
and
I
live
at
three
lounge
point:
Drive
I'm
here
today
to
thank
the
city
for
the
wonderful
work
that
you
have
done
to
renovate
and
improve
the
Corinne
Jones
playground
in
Park.
It
is
my
local
park,
the
city
and
partnership
with
Charleston
Park
Conservancy
and
with
neighborhood
residents
developed
a
comprehensive
plan
2010
to
improve
the
park
outlined
in
a
master
plan
that
contains
several
phases.
AK
The
first
phase
has
been
very
successful
and
we
are
in
loving
our
Park
and
the
playground,
however
I'm
here
to
ask
for
help
for
your
help
in
a
more
urgent
area
of
concern
for
me
today,
and
that
is
the
safety
in
the
park
when
the
master
plan
was
developed.
The
second
phase
was
for
the
complete
replacement
of
aging
tennis
courts
and
basketball
courts
at
Corinne
Jones
in
2010.
It
was
known
that
these
courts
needed
immediate
replacement.
However,
in
2019
the
situation
has
grown
more
dire.
The
useful
life
of
the
tennis
court
is
25
years.
AK
The
tennis
courts
occurring
Jens
are
far
older
and
in
need
of
immediate
attention,
their
cracked
surface
players,
uneven
water
collects
and
it
makes
it
dangerous
for
play.
In
addition,
the
courts
are
too
small.
Their
120
by
120
is
the
standard
there
hundred
by
a
hundred
and
fourteen
feet,
which
means
that
both
courts
are
being
used.
It's
it's
dangerous
for
the
players.
This
is
not
a
new
problem
in
2015.
The
conditions
that
the
court
in
James
tennis
courts
were
so
bad
that
the
courts
were
closed
to
the
public
for
safety
reasons.
AK
The
city
did
put
a
bandaid
on
that
has
held
for
a
number
of
years,
but
that
band-aid
has
worn
off
the
court.
Surfaces
are
again
cracked
uneven,
it's
unsafe
and
it's
time
has
come
to
bite
the
bullet
and
replace
these
courts,
so
they
can
continue
to
be
useful
for
another
25
years.
This
project
is
already
on
the
unfunded
capital
projects
list.
However,
it
as
I
understand
it.
There's
no
prior
possession
on
the
list.
AK
B
B
Did
anyone
else
sign
up.
There
was
a
little
confusion.
I
think
some
people
signed
up
for
the
public
hearing,
even
though
they
didn't
have
to
anybody
else
want
to
be
heard
all
right.
So
next
comes
up
the
appointment
of
our
director
of
stormwater
management,
I've
recommended
to
you
in
a
memo.
Mr.
Matt
fountain
he's
with
us
tonight
Matt
if
you'd
come
forward
just
to
be
available.
If
there's
a
question
he's
currently
had
served
as
the
technical
programs
manager
at
Charleston
County
he's
a
both
a
registered
engineer
and
a
registered
geologist.
B
He
knows
the
landscape
of
the
low
country
and
our
drainage
situation.
We've
worked
closely
with
him
over
the
last
few
years,
our
staff
they're
all
looking
forward
to
working
with
Matt
as
our
new
leader
of
this
new
department,
any
questions
or
discussions.
Matt.
Would
you
like
to
offer
comment?
Please
do
so
Thank.
AL
B
B
And
a
second
in
further
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
you
pose
the
eyes:
have
it
next,
our
Director
of
Public
Service
that
I'd
sent
out
a
fish
Orton
memo
because
he
needs
no
introduction
our
own
Tom
O'brien
time.
You
want
to
come
forward.
He's
done
quite
a
remarkable
job
of
last
few
weeks
as
our
interim
director
of
public
service
and
together
with
Matt
we're
gonna,
have
an
incredible
team
to
make
improvements
going
forward
in
both
the
old
functions
of
public
service
and
the
new
stormwater
functions
as
well.
Tom.
M
Sir
mayor
members
of
council,
thank
you
very
much.
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
serve
and
I
just
want
to
say
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
your
vision
in
creating
these
three
departments,
Matt
and
I've
known
each
other
a
long
time,
looking
forward
to
a
great
relationship
and
working
doing
great
things
for
you
all
in
our
citizens.
Z
Just
wanted
to
thank
mr.
Brian
for
his
stepping
in
and
wear
multiple
hats
doing,
a
period
of
time,
the
Lord
leaving
and
cost
the
onboarding
of
a
new
stormwater
director
and
I
mean
by
acclamation.
His
customer
service
has
been
second
to
none
in
the
seven
years
that
I've
been
on
council,
so
you
know
which
we
could
hope
that
this
new
position
does
come
with
a
pay,
raise
I
hope.
Yes,.
B
All
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
I
mean
close
the
eyes
habit
next.
This
particular
position
does
not
require
a
council
approval,
but
I
wanted
to
introduce
to
you
Lakeisha
Kofi,
oh
who
is
our
new
Municipal
Court
director.
Please
come
forward
she's
a
amazing
young
woman
who
hails
to
us
from
Georgia
and
early
in
her
career
after
graduating,
from
Emory
University
and
the
University
of
West
Georgia.
She
was
a
dedicated
to
domestic
violence
as
an
advocate
as
an
advocate
to
victims
of
domestic
violence
and
really
has
a
heart
and
passion
for
that.
B
AM
Evening,
Council
and
mayor,
thank
you
for
that
introduction,
I'm
very
excited
and
grateful
for
this
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
the
city.
I
came
here
several
years
ago
for
work
conference,
and
this
was
one
city
that
I'm
glad
that
I'm
able
to
actually
be
a
part
of
and
use
my
experience.
I
can
say:
I've
worked
in
several
different
courts
over
a
course
of
16
years
in
my
career,
and
this
is
one
court
that
I
can
truly
say,
is
well
organized
and
as
of
right
now,
I
don't
really
see
a
whole
lot.
AM
AM
AM
A
Y
May
I
just
want
concede
its
opportunity.
We
can't
remember
exactly
what
I
made
this
request,
but
we
had
this
issue
when
members,
when
you
are
members
of
our
Council,
serve
on
these
boards,
often
times
I.
Think
almost
always
you'll
have
to
recuse
yourself
consideration
because
of
the
Attorney
General's
opinion.

If
the
empty
Kiryat
has
a
deficit
as
a
representative
from
the
city
on
the
Gilyard
board,
it
is
not
in
the
interest
of
the
Gilyard,
all
the
city
of
Charleston,
for
the
Gilyard
to
have
a
deficit
and
I'll
give
you
an
example.
If
the
Kiryat
has
a
deficit,
you
know
what
the
articles
gonna
say
in
the
newspaper,
the
city
of
Charleston
Gyan
Center
has
a
deficit.
B
V
and
six
on
the
floor,
any
further
discussion,
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
fuzzy
eyes
have
it
now
I
do
want
to
share
with
Council
there
number
of
our
other
committee
appointments
or
coming
up
into
February
and
in
March
and
I
had
a
number.
If
you
recall
what
what
I
like
to
do
is
put
on
your
desk,
some
appointments
for
the
next
meeting
I
had
four
or
five
and
lacking
one
or
two
that
weren't
quite
ready.
B
R
B
B
R
Following
up
on
that,
some
of
these
boards
I
know
the
Planning
Commission
particularly
has
requirements
that
these
people
attend
some
kind
of
continuing
education,
so
many
hours
a
year
and
I,
don't
think
they're
doing
that
either
maybe
I'm
mistaken,
but
I
think
there
ought
to
be
an
accounting
of
that
I've
directed
at
mr.
Lindsey,
because
I
thought
he
might.
N
Know
I
do
weird
ongoing
education
requirements.
We
do
offer
ongoing
education
requirements
for
our
board
and
commission
members.
Many
of
them
do
attend.
We
have
webinars,
we
have
seminars,
so
some
of
them
do
avail
themselves
with
that,
but
I'm
not
familiar
I'm
not
being
prepared
to
report
back
on
exactly
who
is
and
isn't
up
to
date,
because
I'm
sure
that
there
are
some
who
don't
attend
every
one.
Of
course
all.
B
AA
AA
B

You,
mr.
mayor,
we
we
took
a
report
from
our
director
of
traffic
transportation
on
our
speed
hump
program
there
ahead
of
it
this
year,
they've
taken
the
money
they've
used
it
wisely
for
both
the
building
of
some
new
speed,
humps
and
some
maintenance.
They
gave
us
a
report
on
six
projects
that
are
going
forward,
two
of
which
I
think
are
more
important
than
the
others.
You'll
see
the
first
four
are
simply
speed.
AA
Humps
are
going
into
neighborhoods
to
on
John's
Island,
one
on
Daniel
and
apparently
they're
speeding
up
their
councilmember
white
kind
of
slowed
them
down.
One
to
Carolina,
Bay
councilman
Wagner
was
all
over
those
we
reported
councilmember
Seeley
Betsy
Road
is
one
where
we're
gonna
put
a
speed
hump
in
there's
already
three
there
we're
gonna
put
a
fourth
in
its
subject
to
dijo
te
approval,
so
that
one
is
going
to
go
back
to
the
d-o-t
for
its
approval
and,
lastly,
you'll
see
line
street.
AA
That
is
a
project
that
is
ongoing,
we're
in
the
process
of
turning
into
two
ways
for
those
of
you
who
have
not
sat
on
this
council
for
more
than
seven
years.
We
actually
approved
that
seven
years
ago,
so
here
we
go
blind
streets
going
to
be
converted
to
two
ways
and
at
the
same
time,
is
going
to
get
a
traffic
calming
device.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
mr.
Benjamin
mr.
Somerville,
the
entire
staff.
They
really
worked
hard
on
this.
AA
We
gave
them
some
more
money
and
they've
taken
it
at
the
heart
and
really
thought
about
it.
It's
great
to
see
staff
doing
that
because
they
were
advocates
for
us
to
do
this.
They've
thought
about
it.
They're
very
prepared,
they're
ready
to
go
so
I,
don't
know
if
they're
still
here,
but
I
really
want
to
thank
them
and
I.
Don't
think
any
of
this
needs
approval,
and
just
as
for
information
y'all,
if
you
have
any
requests
from
your
district
about
speed,
humps,
please
call
mr.
Benjamin
directly
and
just
let
the
committee
know:
okay,.
V
Just
said
to
add
to
our
chairman
seat
means
report,
because
I
thought
it
was
very
impressive
that
not
only
that
they,
you
know,
done
their
homework
about
how
to
make
the
most
out
of
a
little
bit
of
extra
budget
money
that
we
were
able
to
find
this
year.
But
they
said
in
the
process.
They
put
it
back
their.
AA
That
I
forgot
one
other
thing
that
is
important.
Mr.
mayor,
we
also
got
a
report
in
writing.
If
y'all
are
interested
in,
we
can
send
it
to
you
on
all
the
paving
projects
in
the
city
of
Charleston
that
have
been
approved
through
the
county,
the
transportation
sales
tax,
all
the
different
sources,
and
so
we
need
to
get
you
all.
So
you
see
what's
coming
in
your
district
in
2019
and
there
are
some
in
your
district.
I
was
looking
to
all
of
them,
so
that's
important.
You
all
need
to
know.
What's
going
on
all.
Y
You,
mr.
mayor,
we
had
a
very
lengthy
meeting
the
other
day
go
through
on
your
agenda.
We
first
heard
from
Amy
Brock
Raj.
She
is
the
director
of
turning
leaf,
which
is
a
wing
injury
program.
She
takes
clients
who
are
coming
out
of
serving
their
prison
sentence.
These
are
high
risk.
Individuals
mean
these
are
men
only.
She
has
50
enrollees
to
date
and
she
intends
to
increase
this
210
in
depth.
150
her
program
is
so
successful,
not
only
20
percent
of
these
folks
reoffended.
Y
She
has
six
staff
members
on
board
the
average
cost
per
client.
This
is
very
inexpensive,
as
$5,000
per
person.
What's
really
important
for
us
is
that
she
has
1600
graduates
working
for
the
city
of
Charleston
to
which
or
supervise
our
position.
So
this
is
we
support
this
program.
It
started
under
chief
Mullen
here.
Raleigh
was
a
big
advocate
of
this
program.
It's
one
of
the
most
successful
reentry
programs
for
people
coming
out
of
prison
that
we
have
supported
and
we
need
to
continue
our
support
of
that.
Y
Last
week
the
there
was
a
hate
crime
forum
that
was
sponsored
by
the
city
police
department
and
held
the
Charleston
Museum
on
the
20th.
Those
of
us
who
attended
were
moved
by
the
presentations
from
mr.
Joe
Engle
and
from
the
little
Reverend
Pinckney
very
proud
that
we
had
our
city
response
to
this
project.
Y
We
asked
for
update
on
the
audit
process
from
the
city.
Lieutenant
Jason
Brown
gave
us
an
update
as
to
what
was
taking
place.
It
had
one
town
hall
meeting.
It
was
not
well
attended,
they're
working
on
with
Reverend
Middleton
to
get
the
word
out
better,
so
these
town
hall
meetings
can
be
advertised
and
have
folks
attend
these
things.
The
next
session,
where
the
auditors
will
take
place
between
the
26
and
a
30th
of
March,
will
get
the
word
out
as
to
the
development.
With
this,
this
is
one
way
to
go.
Y
Y
This
property
is
a
low-lying
area
and
is
subject
to
flooding.
It
is
a
in
desperate
need
of
repair,
but
because
of
the
location
of
this
property,
they
were
trying
to
see
if
they
can
instead
upgrade,
and
it
can't
so.
We
were
in
a
holding
pattern
on
where
we
go
in
that.
With
this,
this
redesign
I'll
rebuild
a
fire
station
number
16
I
also
wanted
an
update
from
chief
kirlyam.
Y
As
to
the
response
to
citizen
calls,
the
fire
department
would
respond
to
any
call
of
a
medical
nature
whatsoever
and
we
laughed
about
it,
but
even
if
someone
was
complain
about
an
ingrown
toenail,
so
as
is
a
right
to
from
the
mayor,
she
sort
of
crow
tell
these
number
of
calls.
The
chief
has
eliminated
responding.
Y
Those
type
of
non-emergency
medical
calls
to
date
from
January
1st
to
yesterday,
we
have
received
452
blest
calls,
which
is
an
average
of
eight
per
day,
and
he
said
that,
when
approached
when
we
make
these
calls
is
usually
30
minutes
out
of
the
station.
I
think
that's
a
bit
longer.
This
is
what
we
have
done
so
far
has
has
curtailed
the
number
of
calls
that
we're
making
on
these
non-emergency
medical
calls.
Y
Lastly,
we
amended
our
agenda
to
receive
a
report
from
the
chief
has
been
development.
Aware.
Article
and
newspaper
was
a
story
on
NBC
News
on
Sunday,
with
the
fatality
of
mr.
Nathaniel
Rhodes,
who
was
arrested
in
August
of
2018.
The
story
was
that
mr.
world
was
involved
in
the
accident
on
the
subcommittee
Clark
walkway
involved
the
two-car
accident.
Y
D
Y
Okay,
I'll
get
her
to
say
this.
Is
this?
Let
me
just
let
me
just
say
this
once
this
news
came
out,
the
chief
had
we
referred,
the
investigation,
that's
a
sled
and
that's
where
it's
going
right
now,
so
we
are
headed
and
hopefully
with
a
full
review
of
what
took
place
on
the
August
12th.
It's
that,
then
certain
things
are
changing,
but
the
chief
has
taken
initiative
to
make
certain
in-house
changes
on
policies.
Regarding
us.
That's.
I
B
Z
Z
King
huger
had
an
update
that
is
progressing
forward.
Councilman
Lewis
I
mean
so
and
then
the
floodplain
manager
we
had
a
discussion
about
free
board,
update
and
I
know
we'll
have
more
discussions
at
Council.
So
all
of
that
was
the
information,
so
there's
nothing
to
vote
on.
All
of
that
was
information
to
the
committee
and
now
council.
Thank
you
and.
