Description
City of Charleston Council Meeting - January 22,2019 (1/2)
A
C
Let
us
pray
stony,
the
road
we
trod
bitter,
the
chastening
rod
felt
in
the
days
that
hope
unborn
had
died.
Yet
with
a
steady
beat
have
not
our
weary
feet
come
to
the
place
on
which
our
father
side,
we
have
come
over
a
way
that,
with
tears,
have
been
watered,
we
have
come
treading
our
path
through
the
blood
of
the
slaughtered
out.
From
the
gloomy
past
till
now
we
stand
at
last,
where
the
white
gleam
of
our
bright
star
is
cast
eternal
God,
our
Father.
C
We
come
now
asking
your
presence,
and
your
divine
providence
in
this
place
today
bless
this
city
council
meeting
and
we
ask
o
God
that
you
continue
to
empower
and
and
just
lift
up
the
work
of
this
city.
We
ask
your
blessing
upon
our
mayor
each
councilmember,
all
of
those
who
work
for
this
city
and
who
continue
to
make
it
a
safe
place
for
us
to
live
God.
C
We
ask
all
Heavenly
Father
that
you
continue
to
help
us
to
remember
and
remind
us
that
the
moral
arc
of
the
universe
is
long,
but
it
continues
to
bend
toward
justice.
Make
us
a
justice
oriented
City,
where
we
care
about
the
least
of
these,
so
that
we
all
can
enjoy
a
rich
quality
of
life
and
then
God.
We
ask
that
you
just
continue
to
just
take
over
the
Proceedings
of
this
meeting
so
that
everything
is
done
in
decency
and
in
order
in
your
name,
we
pray,
amen.
A
We've
got
two
copies,
so
thank
you
for
that.
Prayer,
Reverend,
Middleton
and
I
would
just
share
with
everyone
that
in,
in
addition
to
being
a
remarkable
pastor
of
councilmember,
Mitchell's,
Church,
Reverend
Middleton
is
also
the
leader
of
our
illumination
project
and
you
were
doing
a
terrific
job
and
thank
you
for
your
efforts
to
help
build
trust
between
our
citizens
and
our
police
department.
A
Thank
you
rather
than
Middleton,
for
what
you
do
and
so
appropriate
to
uplift
us
with
the
opening
verse
of
lift
every
song
and
sing
on
the
heels
of
our
community's
47th
commemoration
of
Martin
Luther
King
jr.
Day
his
birthday.
He
would
have
been
90
years
old
this
year
had
dr.
King
continued
to
live,
and
we
just
completed
what
I
would
call
a
very
vibrant
and
robust,
an
appropriate
commemoration
of
his
life
and
his
legacy
led
by
the
Charleston's
YWCA,
who
began
this
forty-seven
years
ago.
A
The
first
in
the
state
and
one
of
the
first
in
the
nation
to
celebrate
dr.
King's
life
and
legacy.
The
city
joined
there
as
a
partner
shortly
thereafter
and
it's
grown
to
become
the
largest
commemoration
of
dr.
King
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina
and
we're
very
proud.
It
was
a
very
appropriate
weekend,
remembering
him
so
next
I'd
like
to
recognize
for
Dahl
Brown,
who
is
a
native
of
of
Charleston
and
anyone
I'm
given
this
sheet
here.
Anyone
who
follows
professional
football
will
know
these
names
Eadie
too
tall
Jones,
you
don't
know
him.
A
They
are
considered
to
be
among
the
greatest
defensive
ends
in
the
history
of
National
Football
League.
Today,
it's
my
privilege
to
proudly
raise
the
name
of
a
Charleston
favorite
son
as
a
future
contender
for
this
list
of
football
greats
just
three
years
into
his
NFL
career.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
it
is
my
honor
to
present
to
you
mr.
football
Brown
of
the
Green
Bay
Packers.
Please
come
forward.
A
And
Wilfred
all
today
is
his
mother,
miss
Teresa
Brown.
Mr.
Brown.
Where
are
you
please
come
forward
and
other
members
of
his
family
but
I'm
not
going
to
ask
them
all
to
come
forward?
We
don't
have
that
much
room
and
his
high
school
coach,
Earl
brown,
where's
coach
Brown
come
forward.
Coach
bless
you
to
come
forward.
A
Have
a
proclamation
I'd
like
to
proclaim
where
I
was
Fidel
Brown
a
native
of
Charleston,
attended,
Burke
high
school
graduated
in
2011,
a
wallet
Burke.
He
excelled
on
the
football
field
receiving
many
honors
in
2012
food
all
attended,
Florida,
International
University
for
his
freshman
freshman
year,
and
then
ten
games
recorded
eight
tackles
and
one
and
a
half
sacks
I.
Guess
somebody
helped
y'all.
A
Now,
after
his
impressive
freshman
year,
he
transferred
Ole
Miss
in
2013,
and
he
would
go
on
to
play
every
game
in
2014
season
at
Ole,
Miss
finishing
second
on
the
team
with
five
quarterback
hurries,
while
also
making
38
tackles
and
a
sack
and
during
his
time
at
Ole,
Miss
Vidale
received
many
awards
and
accolades
in
2015
he
received
the
J
Richard
Price
courage
and
compassion
award.
He
also
finished
out
the
season
with
10
quarterback
hurries
32
tackles
1
sack
making
him
the
team
leader
on
defense.
A
Well,
as
for
Dahl,
continued
improving
both
on
and
off
the
field
in
his
final
year
at
Ole
Miss,
he
graduated
in
2015
with
a
bachelor's
degree
in
general
studies.
He
achieved
a
triple
minor
in
education
park
and
recreation
management
and
physiology.
An
exemplary
student
athlete
he
also
made
the
Dean's
Honor
Roll
three
consecutive
years.
A
So
after
graduating
from
Ole
Miss
but
all
join
the
Oakland
Raiders
as
an
undrafted
free
agent,
where
he
played
for
two
seasons,
he
continued
his
stellar
performance
on
the
field
and
was
recently
claimed
by
the
Green
Bay
Packers
at
the
end
of
the
2018
season
off
the
field.
This
is
probably
most
important
for
Dahl
has
always
had
a
passion
for
working
with
inner-city
youth.
After
his
football
career,
he
would
like
to
help
mentor,
underprivileged
children
and
help
them
be
successful
and
productive.
A
Adults
I
commend
for
Dahl
on
his
excellent
football
career
and
his
continued
community
service
to
Charleston
and
to
each
part
of
the
country
where
he
has
lived
and
served,
and
therefore
I
John,
J,
Declan,
Berg,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Charleston,
on
behalf
of
City
Council
and
all
of
our
citizens,
who
hereby
proclaim
today.
Tuesday
January
20
seconds.
As
for
all
Brown
days
in
the
city.
E
E
F
E
G
E
H
E
I
always
had
a
passion
for
just
mentoring
and
like
God,
and
even
with
my
little
brothers,
just
I
could
be
a
random
kid
playing
basketball,
I
just
wanted
to
teach
and
a
lot
of
things
that
I
wasn't
taught.
You
know
it's
just
I
know
that's
my
purpose.
It's
just
one
of
the
things
that
moved
me
a
lot,
no
money
or
anything
like
that.
I,
don't
really
care
about
that
stuff.
Are
the
really
thing
everything
that
I
can
help
each
and
every
individual.
E
That's
around
this
area
that
I
can't
have
so
I'm,
actually
putting
together
a
few
camps.
It's
gonna
be
free
to
the
public.
You
got
any
kids
from
ages,
6
to
18
and
more
than
welcome
everything.
Free
I'm
have
a
few
gifts
I'm
in
the
process
of
putting
that,
together
with
my
agent
right
now,
but
as
soon
as
I
get
some
more
information
on
that
I'll
be
sure
to
put
it
out
and
pass
it
along.
Mr.
Wei.
A
Alright!
Thank
you
so
much
that
was
exciting,
but
all
we
did
make
it
to
Green.
Bay
didn't
make
it
to
the
Super
Bowl
this
year,
but
we're
hoping
that
we're
going
to
see
you
there
next
year.
So
next
we'd
like
to
do
a
presentation
for
community
service.
The
2019
Herald
Award
I'd
like
to
invite
the
members
of
the
neighborhood
Commission
to
come
forward
and
join
me
for
the
21st
annual
presentation
of
this
award.
Are
there
members
of
our
neighborhood
Commission
present?
Please
come
forward
as
you
come
forward.
A
I'll
begin
part
of
what
makes
Charleston
a
remarkable
City
that
is
as
citizen
volunteers,
who
donate
hundreds
of
hours
to
better
our
community.
Tonight
we
present
a
heroine
Award
to
an
outstanding
citizen
volunteer,
while
paying
tribute
to
the
memory
of
Harrell
and
his
many
contributions
to
the
Mazique
rags
for
a
Garden,
District
neighborhood
and
the
Charleston
community.
At
large,
we
established
the
Heroku
excellence
and
volunteer
service
award
after
Harold
death
in
1998
and
the
city
of
Charleston's.
Neighborhood
Commission
considers
annual
nominations
and
selects
the
individual
who
best
exemplifies
Harold's
dedication
to
his
neighborhood
tonight.
A
D
A
All
right
come
on
and
stand
by
mr.
Lawrence
for
just
a
minute.
I
got
a
few
more
comments,
so
one
of
my
favorite
TV
shows
mr.
Rogers
neighborhood,
Fred
Rogers
said
we
live
in
a
world
in
which
we
need
to
share
responsibility.
It's
easy
to
say
it's,
not
my
child.
It's
not
my
community's,
not
my
problem.
Then
there
are
those
who
see
the
need
and
respond.
I
consider
those
people,
my
heroes
and
Sebastian
is
one
of
those
heroes.
A
He
has
volunteered
with
enough
PI
Historic
Charleston
foundation
keep
Charleston
beautiful
spending,
countless
hours,
managing
the
Romney
urban
garden,
helping
to
create
the
butterfly
Book
Nook
and
serving
on
the
board
of
directors
of
keep
Charleston
beautiful.
He
is,
he
can
be
seen
in
his
north-central
neighborhood
pruning
the
garden,
picking
up
litter,
increasing
recycling
awareness,
volunteering
with
Charleston
water
keepers
serving
on
planning
committees
for
community
projects,
contributing
resources
for
projects
solving
neighborhood
problems
in
doing
so
with
great
kindness
dedication
and
a
smile.
A
His
volunteer
involvement
extends
to
areas
in
the
Upper
Peninsula
wherever
he
sees
a
need
or
opportunity.
His
actions
reflect
the
wonderful,
dedicated
volunteer
spirit
of
Harold
Kuhn,
and
there
is
no
doubt
that
he
is
a
worthy
recipient
of
the
2019
award.
Sebastien.
Congratulations
again
and
thank
you
for
all.
You
do
for
our
community
and
here's
a
plaque.
A
H
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
work
you
do
so
next
we
have
a
number
of
public
hearings,
not
too
many,
but
a
few,
and
for
these
matters
we
ask
you
to
keep
your
remarks
to
a
minute
and
a
half
tonight,
and
anyone
can
come
forward
when
we
call
out
these
matters.
But
we
ask
you
to
keep
your
remarks
relevant
to
to
the
public
hearing
at
hand.

classification.
The
owner
is
the
Medical
University
of
South

The
property
is
on
Calhoun
Street,
as
previously
stated
see.
If
we
get
the

go
in
here,
it's
not
showing
up

but
it's

at

We
have

This
is
the
site
from

that
shows
it's
in
the
urban
core
designation,
which
is
the
district
in
the
comprehensive
plan
that
calls
for
the
densest
most
intense
uses,
here's
an
image
of
the
property
there
with
outlined
above
it
there's
a
current
medical
office.
Building
on
it,
you
see
a
little
bit
closer
and
there's
the
site
across
from
River
Hospital
and
just
from
the
other
side,
here's
a

property
and

We
also
were
concerned
about
all
public
property
owned
by
government
and
at
the
highest
and
best
juicer.
That
probably
should
be
above
and
beyond
affordable
housing.
All
these
properties
are
owned
by
the
public,
and
we
hope
that
many
of
the
properties
that
are
owned
by
the
public
is
used
to
the
public
good
and

Don't
I,
don't

that
MUSC
is
a
good

based
upon
its
relationship
with
with
with
with
with
this
intended
beneficiaries
of

activities
in

and
the
so
therefore
I'm
in
a
locket
or
which
means
a
minstrel
by
the
federal
court
across
the
street,
which
I
submitted
all
the
documents
and
then
sort
of
main
bangs
got
over
there
and
add
to
this
this
record
right
here:
okay,
everything's
over
there
I
wanted
me
to
copy
that
to
a

you
at

point.
Thank.
M
Good
evening,
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
my
name
is
Jason
long
here
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
tonight,
we
are
excited
to
be
involved
with
this
wonderful
piece
of
property.
We
were
deferred
I,
believe
it
was
a
late
November
meeting
and
we
were
asked
to
meet
with
the
with
the
Austin
village
Association.
We
have
met
with
the
various
boards
and
answered
questions
that
they
had.
We
felt
like
it
was
a
positive
meeting
and
good,
very
good
dialogue,
and
we
are
excited.
We
have
a
desire
to
bring
housing
across
from
the
medical
district.
M
A
N
You
mr.
mayor
briefly,
I'd
like
to
thank
my
fellow
council
members
for
deferring
this
from
our
December
meeting
in
the
time
between
then
and
now,
this
matter
has
been
brought
to
the
wholesome
village
Neighborhood
Association.
We
had
a
very
good
and
robust
chat
for
a
couple
of
hours
about
it
to
see.
Although
this
is
a
gateway
property
to
the
city,
it's
one
of
three
parcels
along
that
Southern
Corridor
of
Calhoun
Street
coming
off
the
connector
when
we
went
through
and
rezone
the
entire
peninsula.
We
put
this
in
the
85
30
height
district.
N
It's
currently
zoned
limited
business
and
there's
two
pieces
of
property
to
the
west
of
it
that
sort
of
frame
up
that
entire
package
at
the
end
of
northern
end
of
Albert
along
Lake.
The
the
vision
and
hope
is
that
this
will
actually
be
one
of
three
parcels
that
can
be
tied
together
and
turned
into
a
project
that
will
be
appropriate
for
that
north
end
of
the
lake
in
that
corridor.
N
The
developers
team
has
I
think
has
engaged
that
one
piece
of
property
that
we're
rezoning
tonight,
zoned
by
the
medical
university,
the
other
two
parcels
to
the
west,
are
owned
by
Roper.
Interestingly,
the
middle
parcel
has
been
approved
by
the
city
for
a
short
term
parking
lot,
which
is
the
lowest
and
worse
use
possible
over
there,
it's
dangerous
getting
in
and
out
so.
Hopefully,
this
will
be
one
of
three
properties
that
we
can
then
bring
in
concert
together
to
build
a
nice
profit
project
up
there
that
all
works
together.
It
is
in
the
MU
zoning.
N
So
if
you
actually
go
do
the
math,
this
is
going
to
spin
off
a
good
bit
of
money
for
affordable
housing
if
they
take
the
fee
and
LU,
which
I
think
the
developers
indicated
they're
going
to
do
one
point
of
interest,
as
we
were
looking
at
this
property
in
thinking
about
it,
there
is
a
a
bulkhead
along
the
north
end
of
Alberta
long
lake
and
if
you
walk
along
there,
don't
walk
too
close
to
it.
It's
failing
like
clip
crazy
and
I,
wanted
to
thank
mr.
N
McWeeny,
who
went
back
and
did
a
title
search
along
the
whole
length
of
that
wall
and
it's
fascinating,
but
the
most
fascinating
part
of
it
for
the
purposes
of
those
sitting
around
this
table.
Is
it's
not
the
city's
seawall?
It's
about
to
be.
The
developers
is
about
to
buy
this
piece
of
property
MUSC,
so
we're
gonna
get
a
nice
seawall
out
of
this
courtesy
of
the
ultimate
development
out
there
and
I
do
believe
access
on
the
north
side
to
Long
Lake
to
the
public,
so
we
can
build
a
ring
around
it.
N
So
this
will
be
one
of
three
the
Halton
Village
Neighborhood
Association.
After
a
long
conversation
did
in
fact,
unanimously
approve
this
ask
that
y'all
do
the
same,
and
let's
see
this
has
got
a
long
way
between
now
and
when
it
actually
gets
developed,
not
sure
what
it's
all
going
to
look
like
in
the
end,
but
residential
is
the
best
use.
So
we
don't
do
residential
that'll,
be
a
bunch
of
offices,
really
tall,
dense,
parked
up
offices.
So
it's
a
Betsey's,
that's
bert
approval!
Thank
you.
All.
A
K
L
This
point
of
point
of
point
of
information,
yes,
okay,
the
process
would
would
be
for
anybody
would
be.
This
would
be
a
notice
in
the
post
of
career
right
right.
This
would
then
be
a
a
procedure
right
where
you
can
provide
the
exhibits
and
whatever
I
you
have
an
effective
date
right
and
then
you
have
something
called
petition
right
where
you
can
say
you
are
against
it
or
for
it.
You
don't
have
to
be
an
expert
right.
Who
is
interested
persons
in
the
community
of
the
expert?
That's
not
what.
A
K
This
next
one
is
on
bentgrass
Court
backing
up
to
the
Stono
River
on
James
Island,
again,
a
recent
annexation.
The
recommended
zoning
would
be
our
r1
which
matches
the
zoning
on
the
other
parcels
thinner
in
the
city
and
the
surrounding
street,
and
both
staff
and
Planning
Commission
recommend
approval
would.
A
K
L
What
the
new
traffic's
are
you
doing?
All
these
annexation
is
going
to
be
involved
in
the
new
traffic
study
or
the
flooding
flooding
studies
you're
going
to
be
doing
for
flood
plains.
These
new
annexations
were
brought
in.
Will
that
be
coming
on
board?
In
terms
of
you
know
the
capacity
for
absorbing
flooding
in
the
area.
A
P
A
Q
Q
F
A
Council,
member
Griffin
any
comments,
changes
deletions
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
he
opposed
the
eyes
habit.
Next
is
our
citizens
participation
period
and
we
have
about
26
folks
who
have
signed
up
so
we're
going
to
have
to
limit
you
to
a
minute.
Each
I
know
that's
not
a
lot
of
time,
so
let
me
just
suggest:
don't
beat
around
the
bush
get
right
to
the
point
of
whatever
you
want
to
talk
about,
and
if
you
hear
someone
else,
who's
kind
of
made.
A
A
similar
point
you
might
want
to
you
know
make
take
another
angle
at
the
subject
matter,
rather
than
being
repetitive
and
I'm
glad.
If
there's
a
lot
of
folks
here
talking
about
the
same
thing,
to
have
a
show
of
hands,
you
know,
and
that
kind
of
thing
to
show
it's
four
against
any
anything.
Y'all
might
be
here
for
but
I'm
gonna
respectfully
ask
no
outbursts
from
in
the
chamber.
D
S
Evening,
mayor
City,
Council,
I'm,
sorry
that
you're
not
running
for
mayor
councilman,
Gregory
I,
think
you
would
have
been
made
a
good
man
if
you
ran
on
your
merits
and
not
on
your
color.
You
know
if
you
cut
councilman
Louise
now
come
here
through
the
hand.
The
first
thing
you
would
see
before
the
blood
is
white
skin.
S
So
we
all
are
the
same.
What
I'm
saying
every
time
trouble
happened
in
this
city?
They
put
it
on
the
black
and
white
thing:
Mayor
John
taken
birth,
you're
gonna
get
an
officer
for
the
races
by
we
don't
have
no
races
by
it.
We
have
a
councilman
been
here
for
25
years.
We
have
an
excellent
Clerk.
Bear
keeps
excellent
record.
She
is
an
african-american.
We
have
Gianna
Johnson
excellent,
but
every
time
some
trouble
start,
they
call
the
races
car
to
try
to
get
the
sympathy
of
the
african-american
people.
That's
a
shame
before
God
thank.
L
Federal
court
called
me
in
a
locket
or
other
talk
to
Tory
means
in
minstrel
and
so
nobody's
ever
called
me
a
minstrel
before,
but
I
miss
kissing,
good.
It's
in
good
standing
I
want
to
add
to
the
documents
that
you
have
regarding
how
to
file
a
formal
complaint
to
the
Justice
Department.
That's
on
the
table,
other
information,
the
table,
Esparza
DHEC
and
DHEC
issues
and
an
age.
L
These
issues
and
other
issues
that
we
have
in
this
state
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
understand
clearly
that
Anthony
G
Bryant
is
not
an
interlock,
the
tour
at
minstrel,
but
the
policies
of
this
state
is
in
a
locket
or
minstrels
or
close
to
200
years
as
many
locket
or
minstrel
policies
that
create
interlocutor
and
minstrel
people
where
they
go
to
prison.
Reading
at
six
at
a
third-grade
level.
With
most
cases
you
unlock
the
man.
If
the
can
read
and
can't
write,
can't
do
math.
T
Back
from
the
last
city,
council
meeting
went
back
to
my
neighborhood
and
told
them
what
the
fantastic
job
that
y'all
did
at
the
last
city
council
meeting
and
they
were
proud
of
y'all
they're
part
of
their
elected
official,
and
so
we
thank
you
all
very
much.
We'd
also
like
to
thank
the
Planning
Commission
I
know
we
have
to
work
out
some
some
some
problem,
but
they
did
a
fantastic
job
also
to
taking
everything
off
the
table,
and
we
applaud
your
all
mr.
mayor
and
solid
City
Council
for
the
outstanding
job.
T
U
Josh
Dix
live
at
12
West
Street
I.
Am
the
government
affairs
director
for
the
Charleston
Trident
Association
of
Realtors
I'm
here
to
discuss
the
proposed
James
Island
Johns
Island
moratorium,
while
the
stormwater
initiatives
and
the
flooding
are
problems
that
we're
facing.
These
are
issues
that
the
realtors
are
trying
to
tackle
and
we
want
to
be
partners
with
the
city
on
this.
However,
moratorium
is
just
not
needed
at
this
time.
We
went
through
this
exercise
last
year
with
John's
Island,
a
John's
Island
task
force
was
created.
U
This
group
has
only
met
twice
to
address
the
stormwater
drainage
issues
on
John's
Island.
So
if
a
task
force
is
formed
and
not
initiated
to
meet
with
industry
experts,
why
would
a
another
expansion
of
a
moratorium
be
needed?
So
I
ask
let's
look
at
stormwater
drainage.
Let's
look
at
these
flooding
issues
bring
in
the
industry
expert
and
let's
work
with
the
city
and
the
new
stormwater
team
to
look
at
this
issue
responsibly.
Thanks.
Thank
you,
sir.
V
I'm
Darrin
Jones
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
fiasco
that
is
Shoreham
Road.
You
all
know
about
the
issues
were
surrounding
Shoreham
Road,
so
I
won't
go
into
that.
But
I
want
to
talk
about
a
discussion
I
had
with
the
mayor
last
week
in
which
he
said
that
the
only
thing
the
city
can
do
is
help
me
apply
for
a
mitigation
grant.
V
This
mitigation
grant
is
primarily
funded
from
FEMA
and
it's
meant
to
mitigate
for
legally
legally
occupied,
legally
built
structures
that
are
impacted
by
flooding,
not
by
not
to
mitigate
for
building
code
violations
that
lead
to
flooding
the
structures
on
Shoreham
Road
we're
never
legally
built,
never
legally
occupied.
You
know
all
this
this.
If
I
apply
for
this
as
a
federal
employee,
I'm,
risking
my
job
and
can
possibly
go
to
jail.
This
mitigation
grant
applying
to
Shoreham
Road
is
fraud.
This
your
floodplain
manager
wouldn't
even
speak
to
the
legality
of
this
mitigation.
V
Grant
and
insure
him
drive,
probably
because
it
is
not
legal.
It's
disgraceful
that
the
mayor
is
asking
for
citizens
to
commit
fraud,
and
this
problem
is
a
city
problem.
It's
not
a
FEMA
problem.
There's
no
reason.
Other
citizens
of
other
states
need
to
pay
for
this.
Committing
fraud
does
not
cover
up
past
fraud
that
gives
her.
W
Good
evening,
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
my
name
is
Derrick:
Wade
I
live
at
7:40
up
on
the
Hill
Road
on
James
Island
I
live
on
Ellis
Creek
and
over
the
years
we've
swum
and
we've
gone
boating,
we've
gone
fishing,
Gunn,
crabbing,
etc.
Our
friends
at
water
Keepers,
however,
have
been
monitoring
the
water
condition
over
there,
and
sometimes
after
a
heavy
rain.
We
have
bacterial
counts
that
are
ten
times
above
what
is
recommended
as
maximum
level.
I
now
know
why
I
have
Eirik
suffocation.
Occasionally
you
want
to
go
swimming
in
the
creek
in
days
past.
W
There
is
a
lot
of
development
pressure
in
that
watershed
into
Ellis,
Ellis,
Creek
and
I'm,
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
a
moratorium
on
development
there
until
we
can
make
sure
that
any
new
development
does
indeed
meet
the
requirements
of
the
new
stormwater
management
plan,
which
I
believe
is
going
to
be
available
into
the
sometime
this
year.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
You,
Dara
I.
X
Y
You're
next
I'm
Susan
Lions
with
groundswell
I
just
want
to
speak
in
support
of
the
moratorium.
I
think
any
effort
made
in
the
city
to
intelligently
manage
flooding
is
critical.
I
feel
terrible
about
what
these
people
are
going
through
in
James,
Island
and
John's,
Island
and
I
think
that
all
over
the
city,
we
need
to
stop.
Y
X
To
say
thank
you
to
the
council
for
taking
this
on.
It's
a
big
issue.
It's
an
issue
all
around
the
world.
Flooding
is,
is
here
to
stay
for
us
and
we
have
to
be
able
to
manage
it.
It's
a
great
time
for
the
moratorium,
so
I
am
supporting
temporary
moratorium
on
development.
At
this
point,
I'm
a
member
of
Laurel
Park
community
off
Central,
Park,
and
really
it's
it's
important
at
this
time.
X
N
Z
Evening,
Paula
Brady,
12,
George
Street
I,
encourage
the
council
members
to
take
this
ordinance
one
step
further
and
apply
it
not
only
to
James
and
John
Island,
but
to
the
city
flood
prone
areas
citywide.
Basically,
if
we
have
clearance
specific
improvements,
then
it
will
help
residents
believe
three
key
facts
from
City
Council,
basically
that
there's
a
collaboration
to
restructure
the
city's
stormwater
department
next
that
they
commit
to
updating
the
stormwater
regulations
and,
third
that
will
know
as
residents
that
the
City
Council
commits
to
our
sea
level
rise
strategy.
Thank
you
very
much.
Z
V
G
My
name
is
Harriet
Revis
and
I
live
at
509
West
Wimbledon
Drive
on
James,
Island
and
I
would
like
to
thank
council
members,
Gregory
Jackson
moody,
Griffin
and
even
the
mayor
for
coming
out
to
James
Island
to
look
at
the
flooding
issues
there
and
I'm
sure
many
others
of
you
have
done
the
same
and
I.
Thank
you
as
well
I'm
here
tonight
to
ask
your
support
for
two
things.
G
First,
I'd
like
to
ask
you
to
support
the
temporary
moratorium
on
James
and
John's
Island
that
will
come
before
you
tonight
and
I'd
like
to
ask
those
who
are
here
in
support
of
that
moratorium
to
please
stand
if
you're
supporting
the
moratorium
and
we
had
several
neighbors
who
could
not
even
get
in
the
front
door
because
of
the
large
capacity
crowd
tonight,
so
some
people
were
turned
away
before
they
could
even
get
in.
So.
Thank
you.
G
G
AA
Good
evening
Leah
Farrell
with
the
Preservation
Society
of
Charleston,
we
have
over
a
hundred
thousand
homes
coming
to
the
Charleston
region
and
that
doesn't
even
include
the
nine
thousand
that
are
currently
being
constructed.
Let's
continue
to
grow,
but
let's
do
so
in
a
way
that
does
no
further
harm
if
we
aren't
using
development
to
help
fix
flooding,
we're
missing
a
golden
opportunity.
Here
we
got
to
finish
these
two
remoter
guidelines.
We
got
to
get
these
drainage
studies
done
and
then
use
that
data.
Let's
like
let
that
those
facts
inform
our
policy
here.
AA
This
amendment
may
not
be
the
perfect
approach,
but
we
think
Councilwoman
Jackson
for
starting
the
conversation,
because
it's
the
only
thing
on
the
table
right
now.
We've
heard
from
all
these
residents
for
months
that
we
need
something
like
this.
So
let's
get
the
conversation
going.
I
think
there's
a
lot
to
debate,
but
I
think
we
can
all
agree
that
we
need
you
all
as
our
leaders
to
do
something
proactive
against
this
development
driven
flooding
thanks.
So
much
Thank.
A
AB
Hi
and
thank
you
mayor
and
council
for
even
hearing
us
out
I
know
it's
difficult
to
listen
to
all
of
us
about
this
moratorium
issue.
I
know
that
the
word
moratorium
most
politicians
are
allergic
to
that
word
and
it's
a
hard
one.
Nobody
wants
to
hear
it,
but
in
this
case,
as
somebody
who
lives
through
the
new
developments,
I
really
appreciate
you
considering
its
as
much
as
short
pause.
It's.
AB
It
is
a
moratorium,
but
it
really
is
just
a
short
pause
just
to
allow
our
city
to
get
the
updated
stormwater
regulations
in
place
that
will
save
our
older
neighborhoods.
The
value
of
our
properties
are
at
stake
that
will
prevent
us
from
experiencing
any
future
regret
that
we
that
we
might
have
about
allowing
developments
before
we
have
everything
in
order,
though,
budgeted
last
year,
we
are
still
waiting
for
a
water
basin
study.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AC
Good
evening,
Betsy
laforce
with
the
coastal
conservation
league,
the
conservation
league,
is
supportive
of
the
proposed
temporary
moratorium.
It
addresses
the
concerns
the
community,
especially
on
James
and
John's
Island,
have
been
expressing
for
years
specifically
regarding
the
use
of
Hill
material.
AC
Current
building
regulations
are
enabling
developers
to
clear
land
and
bring
in
countless
truckloads
of
incompatible
fill
material
for
new
construction
projects,
limiting
the
land's
natural
capacity
to
store
water
as
the
lead
engineers
studying
the
church,
Creek
drainage
basin
reflected
about
Church
Creek,
one
of
the
biggest
mistakes
the
city
made
was
not
regulating
how
developers
use,
filter
and
floodplains.
We
can
turn
the
lessons
we've
learned
from
problems
of
the
past
to
identify
solutions
for
the
future.
We
encourage
Council
to
take
this
ordinance
one
step
further
and
make
it
citywide.
AC
Flooding
is
a
citywide
issue
and
therefore
proposed
solutions
shouldn't
be
limited
to
Church
Creek
in
the
Sea
Islands.
The
last
year's
state
of
the
city
address
flooding
was
named
as
the
top
priority
and
were
hopeful
that
the
actions
of
council
will
express
that
same
sentiment,
moving
forward
into
2019
as
high
tide,
significant
rain
events
and
rapid
growth
continue.
Thank
you.
All
for
your
continued
attention
to
this
matter.
AD
My
name
is
Frannie
Henty
and
I
live
in
Laurel
Park
good
evening.
Thank
you
to
Carroll
Jackson
for
proposing
the
moratorium.
I
just
gave
up
idle
realtor
I
take
an
ethics
course
and
I
just
gave
up
two
listings
that
were
require
land
development,
adding
impervious
surface
on
John's
Island.
The
request
for
a
moratorium
on
James
Island
as
well
as
John's
Island.
It
rings
truer
for
me
not
to
listen
any
land
until
y'all
had
a
chance
to
do
the
studies
that
need
to
be
done
to
to
stop
stop
us
from
being
plenty
out.
AD
Let's
see
we
need
to
get.
We
need
to
stop
this
development
until
we
can
get
crystal
clear
and
to
get
crystal
clear,
especially
for
the
taxpayers.
Who've
already
been
here,
sustaining
the
community
so
that
builders
have
a
place
to
come,
build.
Thank
you
to
all
the
council
members
for
your
valuable
time,
your
consideration
and
for
voting
yes
to
the
first
reading
of
the
moratorium
and
it's
just
flood
prone
areas.
Okay,
I
challenge
all
Realtors,
not
till
this
property
in
flood
zone
areas.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
AE
Evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Todd
McNerney
I
live
at
484
East
Wimbledon
Drive
on
James
Island
I'd,
like
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
service
and
leadership
to
our
community,
specifically
to
my
councilman
mr.
Gregory,
and
to
Councilwoman
Jackson
for
bringing
forth
this
proposed
moratorium
I'm
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
it.
In
this
respect,
in
recent
newspaper
articles,
we've
learned
about
the
Dutch
dialogues.
Many
of
you
have
taken
trips
to
the
Netherlands
to
observe
them.
AE
That
reminds
me
of
a
fable
I
heard
as
a
child
in
a
book
called
hands
breaker
and
the
silver
skates
it's
about
a
little
boy
who
sticks
his
finger
in
a
dike
and
stops
a
flood
that
took
courage.
It
took
simplicity
and
it
wasn't
a
permanent
fix.
Rather,
it
was
a
temporary
challenge
that
one
young
person
took
in
order
to
save
his
community.
I.
Ask
you
to
consider
to
be
that
courageous
tonight
and
try
to
save
our
city.
Thank
you,
sir.
AF
AF
Just
a
reminder.
Fill
in
development
standards
are
set
by
the
city,
not
our
builders.
Instead,
we
ask
Council
to
reject
a
moratorium
on
the
grounds
of
violating
private
property
rights,
economic
hardship
for
businesses
and
landowners,
encouraging
sprawl
and
undermining
affordability.
While
we
are
also
concerned
with
flooding
of
citizens,
a
moratorium
creates
more
problems
and
solutions
in
its
place.
We
recommend
allowing
industry
input
for
flood
prevention
expediting
stormwater
design
standards
manual,
updates,
develop
a
transfer
of
development
rights
program
and
implement
the
TRC
reforms
recommended
to
the
city
over
a
year
ago.
Thank
you
thank.

AG
AH
Good
evening
my
name
is
Katherine
Davis
and
I
live
at
38
Cross
Creek
in
James,
Island
I'm,
a
citizen
rep
on
the
city's
stormwater
task
force
and
I'm.
The
president
of
Cross
Creek,
neighborhood
association
in
James
Island
I'm
here
tonight
to
support
the
moratorium
by
allowing
for
this
necessary
pause
on
development,
would
give
the
city
time
to
update
the
city
of
Charleston
stormwater
regulations,
which
we
are
hard
at
work
doing
now
and
will
be
to
Council
later
this
summer.
AH
As
we
all
know,
we
must
be
more
proactive
with
our
land
use
practices
as
we
plan
for
a
changing
future
in
this
changing
climate.
I
asked
for
all
of
you,
but
especially
you
councilmember
Gregory,
who
has
represented
cross
creek
for
so
long
to.
Please
support
this
moratorium
tonight.
Thank
you.
So
much
and
Thank
You
councilmember
Jackson
take
care.
Thank.
A
A
AI
AI
Bill
Han,
Han
I
live
in
the
Marlboro
subdivision,
which
has
been
impacted
by
the
flooding
with
the
development.
That's
been
going
on
on
James
Island
I
can't
really
improve
on
what
people
have
said.
I
would
just
urge
you
to
support
the
moratorium
until
the
studies
are
done
and
we
can
take
appropriate
action
from
there.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
bill.
Yes,.
A
AJ
AJ
AK
Q
AL
AL
Hello,
my
name
is
Trent
Humphrey
I'm,
the
student
ambassador
for
the
Stewart
preservation
and
Community
Planning
Department
of
the
College
of
Charleston
I'm,
also
an
intern
at
the
board
of
architectural
review.
Here,
I
would
like
to
express
a
support
on
behalf
of
the
students
of
the
historic
preservation
and
communion
planning
department
of
the
College
of
Charleston.
We
have
a
class,
that's
actually
looking
into
these
problems,
and
we
are
very
strongly
in
support
and
responsible
development.
AL
The
elephant
in
the
room
really
is
that
we're
gonna
delay
this
by
having
the
moratorium
and
then
nothing's
gonna
get
done
and
all
we're
gonna
have
to
be
is
behind.
That's
literally,
that's
the
only
reason
why
you
would
want
to
delay.
That's
the
only
reason
why
you
want
to
be
against
it,
but
if
we
do
this
effectively
actually
update
the
design
standards
as
they
should
be,
it
will
allow
us
to
not
make
the
same
mistakes
that
we
made
in
the
past.
AL
R
A
A
Okay
and
this
hint
he
was
here,
she
spoke
as
well
all
right.
Well,
thank
you
all
for
your
opinions
and
comments
here
this
evening.
We
appreciate
your
input
and
when
we
do
listen,
I
saw
a
lot
of
folks
raise
their
hand
when
they,
when
dr.
Rivas
asked
for
those
who
were
in
favor
of
the
moratorium,
be
mine.
If,
in
all
fairness,
I
ask
if
folks,
who
are
here
opposed
to
the
moratorium,
raise
your
hand
or
stand
and
be
recognized
together
as
a
group
that
we
have
four
or
five
of
those
folks.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
with
us
this
evening.
Okay,
so
next
we're
going
to
move
along.
We
have
petitions
and
communications
the
appointment
of
some
code
enforcement
officers
in
the
fire
department
through
a
year
of
motion
for
approval,
yeah
we've
got
a
motion
to
approve
any
discussion:
councilmember
Lewis
yeah,
so.
I
But
I
can
tell
you
what
there's
a
lot
of
citations
if
I've
been
a
coating
fool
office,
I,
could've
written
but
they're,
not
writing
citations
up
there.
So
I'd
like
to
know
what
every
time
we
point
and
you
recorded
for
photography,
I'd
like
to
have
a
little
job
description
of
a
whip.
They
won't
do.
Okay,.
H
A
This
fine
group
of
the
code
enforcement
officers
is
particularly
geared
to
fire
inspections
and
that
side
of
our
code,
as
opposed
to
livability,
that's
am
I
correct
chief,
so
we
could
certainly
write
that
up,
but
that's
that's
clearly
their
focus
area
in
the
fire
department.
Thank
you.
Yes,
sir,
and,
as
you
know,
mr.
ratio
is
very
responsive
regarding
any
issues,
if
you
see
something
say
something
give
him
a
call
and
he'll
certainly
try
to
respond.
I
A
A
I
I
tell
you
right
now:
I
can
walk
you
up
and
down.
I
can
tell
you
with
garbage
cans
right
now.
Blue
can
sitting
on
King
Street
has
been
sitting
you
over
a
week.
That's
not
gonna
happen
down
up
there,
but
it's
happening
up
there.
Now
we
we
need
to
do
something
about
it.
Cuz
I
get
tired
of
looking
at
it.
Yes,.
F
Will
so
approve,
but
one
context
we
can
fall
off
this
on
this
later
I
know
I'm
totally
with
some
problems
in
getting
the
inspections
on
fire
inspections
on
the
gas
heaters
for
the
people
a
year
ago.
That
came
here
who
work
on
the
market
and
the
extreme
elements,
and
we
ran
gas
lines,
that's
not
going
to
prove
as
of
yet,
and
he
obviously
was
freezing
this
morning
when
those
people
came
to
go
to
work,
he
promised
them
that
that
we
would
have
that
in
place
over
a
year
ago.
F
I
As
of
as
of
the
gate,
wasn't
resolved,
so
actually
it's
booked
with
GQ
you're
also
this
morning
and
we
spoke
with
Jason
this
afternoon.
Problems
is
not
resolved,
just
counsel
located
to
those
heaters
of
the
lines
to
be
running
it
for
those
heaters
and
I.
We
got
to
pollinate.
They
can't
come
together
and
make
a
solid
decision
that
we
need
to
find
some
more
people
to
work
for
the
city,
because
people
are
paying
to
rent
those
spaces
in
the
market.
They
came
to
us
in
X
personnel.
I
We
approve
the
monies
to
put
the
system
and
systems
and
not
all
I
need
of
approval
on
the
type
of
heater,
that's
between
engineering
and
against
Fire
Department,
but
right
now
it's
going
back
and
forth,
but
we
need
to
get
these
heaters
in
cuz
I've
heard
a
lot
of
people
in
the
last
week,
or
so
they
stayed
off
from
work,
so
cities,
rules
of
revenue
and
they're
not
working
because
they're,
not
selling
good
stead
of
tourists.
So
we
losin
money,
he's
spending
money,
but
we
losing
money.
So
let's
get
this
property
off.
Please!
Yes,.
A
A
N
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor,
we
had
a
excellent
meeting
of
traffic
and
transportation
this
afternoon
right
here
in
City,
Council
Chambers
about
3:30.
We
had
a
report
from
our
from
our
consulting
firm
Kim,
Lee
horn
and
Brentwood
about
the
parking
study
that's
been
done
over
the
past
year,
or
so
it
was
heard
from
all
aspects
of
it.
There's
lots
of
issues
surrounding
parking
on
the
peninsula.
One
of
the
things
we
learned
I
think
from
this
from
the
presentation
today
is
parking,
had
parking,
goes
across
all
city
lines.
We've
got
it
all
over
the
city.
N
This
is
gonna
sort
of
the
stand
as
a
template
for
all
things.
We
need
to
think
about
with
parking,
transportation
and
development.
It's
all
interrelated.
It
is
interrelated
with
water,
there's
all
sorts
of
things
that
parking
relates
to.
So
we
heard
from
our
expert
who
heard
from
mr.
Benjamin
he
recommended
to
us
as
a
committee
that
we
adopt
the
report
in
whole
as
a
guide
to
policy
in
the
city
without
any
specific
adoption
of
anything
in
there
the
committee
voted
5-2.
Nothing
to
adopt
the
report
as
a
matter
of
policy
for
the
city.
A
F
A
F
Also
had
an
update
on
the
spring
Fishburne
and
Calhoun
West
drainage
basins,
which
were
very
impressive,
I
was
all
you
all
could
have
been
there
seriously
very,
very
good
presentation,
I
thank
the
staff
and
putting
that
together,
and
we
also
heard
that
we
are
very
close.
Very
very
close.
The
ad
hoc
committee
met
last
week
and
we
will
down
the
the
companies
for
the
flood
plan
manager
for
the
entire
city.
F
A
Have
some
good
applications,
the
the
it's
technically
still
open,
I
think
we're
going
to
leave
it
open
for
about
one
more
week
and
then,
when
I
get
back
from
Washington
DC
next
week,
we'll
be
interviewing
candidates
for
the
position.
How
quickly
they
can
accept
after
a
decision
has
made,
an
offer
is
made
will
depend
on
their
circumstance.
But
my
my
guess,
my
goal
would
be
in
three
to
four
weeks
time.
Well,.
O
You
ma'am
chairman,
wearing.I
I,
don't
mean
to
correct
you,
but
I
do
think
that
you,
you
used
the
term
we're
about
to
hire
a
floodplain
manager
and
outside
its
it's
actually
for
project
work.
So
the
firm
that
we're
about
to
hire.
We
already
have
a
floodplain
manager
aside.
I
just
didn't
want
the
record.
My.
F
O
I
A
We
had
a
preliminary
study
done
now.
We
have
to
do
the
engineering
for
the
recommended
project.
The
same
firm
JMT
would
like
to
be
able
to
proceed.
It
pushes
them
above
my
authority
to
to
hire
them
without
it
going
through
our
normal
procurement
process.
So
that's
where
we
are
I
think
it's
headed
to
procurement
so
that
we
can
hire
them
for
the
next
step.
Okay,
yeah
sure.
Thank
you.
B
B
Like
I
tell
people
here
ever
since
I
was
there
even
around
the
corner
and
Rutledge
Avenue,
my
father
bought
a
house
in
1971
lovers,
live
in
a
New,
York
and
I
came
here
from
move.
It
was
flooding
down
there
ever
since
then,
actually
Avenue,
Fishburne,
Street
South,
the
street
President
Street
in
the
50s
I
went
to
school
in
the
fifties,
flooding
had
to
walk
through
President
Street
and
my
parents
were
the
time
carriage
that
you
go
into
school.
You
put
the
books
in
your
hand
and
hold
in
your
hand.
B
Your
wallet
at
pants
leg,
take
off
your
shoes
and
hold
me.
You
go
to
school.
That's
the
way
we
was
doing
so.
I
hear
a
lot
of
talking
about
flooding,
flooding,
flooding,
flooding,
I've
been
fighting
on.
My
left,
you
still
haven't
been
solved,
yet
you
see.
So
you
know
I
hear
all
these
things.
I
sympathize
with
a
lot
of
people
with
our
people
will
be
talking
about.
B
B
A
B
B
A
B
A
AG
B
A
A
Got
a
motion
in
the
second
take
one
through
five
together
any
questions
comments
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
the
opposed
guys
have
it
now
for
third
reading
and
ratification,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
he
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
so
now
we
have
two
bills
up
for
first
reading
before
we
start
this
first
one
that
so
many
people
have
come
to
comment
on
might
take
a
little
while
for
us
to
discuss
and
I
just
want
to
make
everybody
we're
with
the
State
of
the
City
remarks
that
I'm
giving
at
7:30.
N
A
A
AN
D
AN
Need
it
the
only
thing,
I'm
concerned
a
little
bit
about
and
I,
don't
think
this
needs
to
be
in
the
executive
session.
I
know
we
don't
have
another
meeting
until
February
and
our
expiration
expires
before
that.
So
I
really
don't
want
us
to
let
that
if
we
can
defer
that-
and
maybe
this
or
Dean
can
tell
us
whether
or
not
we
can
defer
it
for
a
few
weeks
or
something
and
well
that's
even
an
option.
Yeah.
P

A
O
Currently,
works
for
NOAA's
restoration,
Center
as
a
coastal,
habitat
and
water
quality
restoration
specialist.
In
addition,
she
currently
volunteers
with
the
Jones
Island
Community
Association
as
their
preservation
chair,
that's
the
organization
that
has
been
formed
within
the
last
four
or
five
years.
They
have
500
members
and
1,500
followers
on
their
listserv,
where
they
produce
an
excellent
newsletter.
That's
a
resource
to
all
the
residents
as
John's
Island.
Just
so
you
know,
I
will
probably
follow
by
saying
I'm
speaking
on
behalf.
O
This
is
what
Lisa's
saying,
as
she
is
a
citizen
to
make
sure
that
no
one
thinks
she
is
speaking
on
behalf
of
her
employer
NOAA,
who
is
currently
shut
down
for
this
budget.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Miss
and
of
our
doctor.
Vandiver
I
appreciate
your
being
here
and
we
do
have
a
PowerPoint
that
you've
read
it
to
the
view
tonight
for.
AO
Don't
just
go:
oh,
perfect,
okay,
thank
you!
So
much
for
that
introduction
and
as
as
Carol
Jackson
mentioned,
I
am
here
to
speak
to
you
as
an
excerpt
expert,
but
most
importantly,
as
a
citizen
of
Charleston,
so
I
wanted
to
just
kind
of
make
sure
we
all
know.
We've
all
heard
this
from
all
sides,
these
flooding
pictures.
AO
So
I
think,
there's
three
I
mean
you
could
go
into
any
details
me
as
a
scientist.
I
could
really
go
into
the
details,
so
I
tried
to
keep
it
higher-level.
There's
three
main
issues:
I
think
that
we're
facing
number
one
and
most
importantly,
FEMA
flood
zones-
do
not
account
account
for
stormwater
runoff.
It's
only
looking
at
storm
surge.
So
this
is
a
picture
of
my
property,
it's
an
eighties
own
and
in
the
new
FEMA
flood
maps
and
the
updates
it'll
be
in
the
neck.
AO
So
this
is
following
a
rain
event
in
August
and
you
can
see
I
clearly,
this
land
is
flooding,
and
so
it's
important
for
you
to
understand
that
storm,
not
storm
water
is
not
captured
in
the
way
that
FEMA
defines
flood
zones
and
why
this
is
important
for
you
as
a
city
council.
It's
because
you
need
to
understand
the
importance
of
the
decisions
that
you're
making
when
in
regards
to
land
use
and
how
that
then
changes
storm
water,
runoff,
that's
so
many
jobs
at
home
yeah.
O
AO
It's
it's
yeah,
it's
County
that
is
County,
so
just
to
give
you
a
little
perspective
again
higher
level,
but
the
what
you
need
to
know
is
that
in
the
low
country
we
don't
have
much
slope,
of
course,
and
a
lot
of
our
soils
are
pretty
sandy.
So
when
you
have
rainfall
applied
to
landscape
most
a
lot
of
that
rainfall,
what
you
can't
see
I
can't
the
pointer
is
not
working
but
very
there's
very
mental,
minimal
runoff
under
natural
conditions,
and
when
that
runoff
comes
off
your
landscape,
it
comes
off
in
a
pretty
slow
manner.
AO
Thing
is:
when
you
come
in
and
develop
a
landscape.
You
take
away
that
sponge
natural
seepage
processes
that
you
have
and
you're
replacing
it
with
impervious
cover
roads,
rooftops,
driveways
and
now
you're
increasing
the
volume
of
runoff
and
that
volume
is
discharged
over
a
much
quicker
time
frame.
So
you
have
these
flashy
er
events
and
that
contributes
to
your
flooding,
so
the
development
process
alone.
AO
We
need
to
be
able
to
account
for
that
when
we're
thinking
about
flood
management,
sorry,
so
the
the
so
one
of
the
things
the
FEMA
flood
zone
does
not
account
for
that.
Stormwater
runoff!
That's
a
big
deal
here.
The
second
thing
that
the
flood
zones
don't
account
for
are
these
future
scenarios,
which
you've
heard
a
lot
about
lately,
sea
level,
rise,
increase
in
rainfall,
intensity
and
frequency,
as
well
as
the
increase
in
storm
intensity
and
frequency.
All
of
these
are
very
real
and
we
we
know
what's
happening.
AO
This
is
just
uphold
one
example
here
where
we
can
expect
to
see
the
increases
and
flood
what
they
call
sunny
flood
events.
This
is
essentially
just
simply
looking
at
sea
level
rise
over
time
by
the
2040s
were
anticipated
to
have
a
hundred
and
eighty
flood
days
right
now,
2016
the
most
recent
number
that
we
have.
We
had
fifty
flood
days
so
we're
talking
about
tripling
that
just
in
sea
level
rise
alone.
AO
So
all
of
this
cumulative
ly
means
more
flooding
and
the
last
thing
that
we've
talked
about
a
lot
and
a
lot
of
what
the
focus
of
the
city
has
been
on
is
in
storm
water
management,
because
that's
really
where
they
have
jurisdiction
to
do
something
so
stormwater
management.
We
all
recognize
there
is
a
need
to
incorporate
the
future
scenarios
that
I
just
discussed,
but
also
to
incorporate
the
more
regional
information
into
the
models
and
regulations.
So
just
very
high-level
again,
some
of
the
key
things
we're
finding
is.
AO
We
need
to
look
at
watershed
scale,
impacts
of
developing
a
specific
parcel.
We
need
to
start
accounting
for
the
impacts
of
shallow
water
tables,
on
our
models
and
our
ability
to
capture
the
amount
of
runoff.
We
also
know
that
fill
displaces
the
micro
topography
that
helps
support
that
natural
infiltration.
So
it's
important
to
capture
that
and
we're
all
thinking
about
in
this
new
stormwater
manual,
how
to
incorporate
that
into
our
new
regulations.
AO
Essentially
right
now
we're
under
estimating
the
amount
of
stormwater
runoff.
So
what
we
have
are
developments
like
Barbieri
Woods,
what
that
was
put
in
the
middle
of
a
flow
path?
Unknowingly
and
now
serves
as
a
dam,
so
whenever
it
run,
whenever
you
have
rainfall,
all
the
runoff
collects
right
there.
This
is
another
example
of
a
very
new
development
on
the
bottom,
where
essentially
it's
bringing
a
new
infrastructure
and
it's
already
filling
and
collapsing,
because
there's
way
too
much
stormwater
coming
into
the
system
it
was,
it
was
under
designed
and
I
think.
AO
The
thing
that
we're
all
here
to
kind
of
speak
to
is
the
impact
to
our
residents
or
all
you
you've
heard
several
people
on
all
sides
about
the
impacts
of
this
flooding
and
how
it's
affecting
both
the
are
risks
to
life
and
our
risk
to
property.
These
are
very
real
concerns.
Our
current
one
of
the
things
I
just
highlighted
two
specific
studies.
AO
Looking
at
the
reduction
in
property
value,
this
was
a
recent
study
by
a
first
Street
foundation
that
found
of
in
Charleston
that
of
the
houses
that
were
impacted,
they've
lost
two
hundred
and
sixty-six
million
dollars
in
value
since
2005.
That's
a
very
real
loss
that
someone
in
cursed,
I
think
the
most
important
thing
for
y'all
to
keep
in
to
account
is
that,
as
we
continue
to
approve
in
permit
development
in
these
known
risky
areas,
we
are
then
passing
the
cost
to
the
taxpayers
to
retrofit
those
decisions.
AO
I'm
very
much
sensitive
to
the
today
cost
to
realtor's
developers
I
understand
that.
But
we
can't
forget
the
path,
the
cost
that
we're
passing
on
to
those
and
in
the
future.
So
just
very
quickly.
I
know:
you've
heard
all
of
these
studies,
but
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
these
studies
that
the
city
is
undergoing
and
that
are
projected
me
to
be
clean,
but
it
within
this
year
are
all
trying
to
focus
on
these
key
issues.
AO
That
I
was
highlighting
they're
going
to
identify
flood
risk
areas
which
is
inclusive
of
rainfall,
not
just
the
storm
surge,
which
is
super
important
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
they're
they're,
going
to
improve
stormwater
management
in
other
locations,
I
mean
I.
Think
the
biggest
thing
that
we've
been
pointing
out
is
the
update
to
the
manual
and
then
the
subsequent
regulations
that
will
come
from
that.
So
this
moratorium
is
not
about
just
taking
a
pause.
It's
taking
a
pause
with
purpose.
We
have
these
in
mind.
AO
If
we
can
just
get
them
completed,
then
we'll
be
in
a
much
better
informed
place.
Moving
forward
with
development,
so
I
know
I'll,
kick
it
back
to
Carol
she's,
going
to
present
more
about
the
moratorium,
but
but
I
just
want
to
leave
you
with
this,
but
you
have
a
choice.
You
can
continue
to
permit
development
in
what
we
know
are
these
flood
risk
areas,
and
we
know
the
likelihood
of
failure
or
we
can
be
bold.
I
can't
remember
who
talked
about
the
little
boy
and
with
the
finger
in
the
eye.
AO
I
really
appreciated
that
because
it
is,
this
is
a
challenging
choice
for
you
to
make,
but
we
know
that
what
we're
doing
is
not
working.
So,
let's
take
a
pause.
Consider
taking
a
pause,
consider
being
bold,
let
the
city
complete
their
studies
and
initiate
their
regulatory
updates
so
that
we
can
move
forward
with
developments.
That's
more
informed
to
minimize
our
flood
risks
to
these
areas
and,
most
importantly,
to
our
residents
in
Charleston.
D
N
This
is
such
a
big
deal.
We
have
so
many
studies
going
on
out
there
and
we're
just
isolating
two
parts
of
the
city.
I
mean
you
got
council
members
who
live
on
the
peninsula,
we're
getting
crushed
yeah
crushed,
and
we
know
what
we
need
to
do
just
moratoriums,
we're
tired
of
them
yeah,
and
so
maybe
we
don't
do
the
citywide.
Are
we
doing
at
any
big
benefit
to
the
whole
city
by
just
doing
a
couple
places
I.
AO
AO
A
J
O
O
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
very
much.
Doctor
I
really
appreciate
all
the
time
that
you
took
to
give
us
a
you
know.
It's
such
a
complex
set
of
challenges
and
moving
parts
and
and
so
I
I
really
appreciate
that
we
have
people,
and
this
is
really
why
part
of
why
I'm
here
tonight,
I
realized
that
this
is
the
kind
of
legislation
legislation
that
we
try
to
avoid,
because
it's
not
good
policy
planning
realm.
O
O
You
know,
trusting
to
do
the
kinds
of
evaluations
and
reviews
and
permitting
that
we're
all
relying
on,
and
basically
their
system
is
broken
for
the
regulations
that
we
have
not
provided
to
their
level
of
authority.
They
do
not
have
the
ability
to
permit
a
stormwater
design
plan
in
good
conscience,
so
it
becomes
this
process
that
goes
on.
O
For
many
reviews-
and
no
one
is
happy
at
the
end
of
the
day,
so
we've
got
the
regulations
they're
being
written,
they're
being
they're
gonna,
be
peer
review
peer
reviewed,
it's
gonna,
be
an
amazing
vastly
improved
set
of
regulations
that
we'll
be
able
to
regulate
and
and
know
that
we're
doing
the
right
thing
for
our
development.
So
I,
don't
remember.
I
would
just
like
that
answer.
O
Intent
when
I
started
working
with
the
corporate
counsel's
office
and
stormwater
and
the
resiliency
director
in
particular
about
what
could
we
really
do
to
be
the
most
help
to
our
citizens
and
to
the
work
that
we're
asking
our
staff
to
do?
We,
we
came
up
with
this
ordinance
that
would
give
us
the
paws
on
the
properties
that
are
currently
in
the
development
process
that
are
located
in
the
areas
of
special
flood
hazards.
O
O
That
are
that
are
that
are
going
to
be
paying
attention
to
the
church,
Creek
Way
of
doing
strong
water
design.
So
that's
this
section
of
the
document,
starting
on
page
eight,
section,
54
975.
It's
called
interim
standards
for
storm
water
systems
and
facilities,
and
that
mirrors
exactly
the
standards
that
we
currently
now
have
in
place
for
the
church,
Creek
Basin,
that
it
won't
be
identical.
It'll
be
rolled
up
into
the
regulations
that
we
have
forward
to
us
at
the
end
of
29th
to
earth
of
the
fall
of
2019.
O
J
H
W
O
Terms
of
the
projects
that
are
currently
in
some
sort
of
permitting
status,
yes,
moratorium
will
also
cover
properties
that
are
in
the
locations
of
the
special
flood
hazard
areas.
Essentially,
the
hundred
year
flood
zones
who
would
choose
to
begin
a
project
then
they
will
be
given
the
green
light
if
they,
if
they
follow
the
church.
Brief
design
standards
that
are
are
the
exception
for
what
how
you
can
keep
going
in
one
of
those
locations.
So
we
know
we
have.
You
know
many
properties
that
are
currently
in
the
process
of
application.
