• Infrastructure in many areas was installed 60+ years ago
• Infrastructure may not have been designed to modern standards
• Little or no maintenance performed by SCDOT for many years
• Some areas lack drainage infrastructure or outfalls
• New additions and other improvements are increasing impervious area
• Original roadside swales no longer exist in many areas due to additional resident parking
• Climate
• Changing climate conditions/sea level rise may increase flooding frequency

• Communication Plan
• Schedule
PHASE ONE
• As part of the FY18 Budget the Town purchased two fully-automated
garbage trucks which should arrive this summer
• Each truck is expected to be able to collect 1000 containers per day
• In order to prepare for these trucks, the Town is replacing 8000
rollcarts with carts that are compatible with the trucks
• To accomplish this in the most efficient manner without disrupting
service to the residents, we have contracted with Waste Recycling
Services Inc. to distribute new carts and collect the old ones
THE PLAN
During the week of
May 7, 2018 this flyer
will be distributed on
all rollcarts that will be
replaced with new,
compatible carts.
THE PLAN (cont.)
• Starting on 14 May approximately 1000 cans will be collected and
replaced per day. This process should take two weeks
• Containers will be replaced on normal garbage collection days, after
the rollcart has been emptied
• Containers are staged at the Public Services Dept 6 Mile Facility
• Old containers will be brought to the 6 Mile Facility and recycled by a
third party
THE PLAN (cont.)
A bag of literature will be provided on each cart when it’s replaced

Ms. Boyles updated that Commission on the Comprehensive Plan update
process. She stated that the next forum meeting would be held on May 1 st. She
stated that there would be an additional open house on June 5th and would focus
on LRTP and land use issues.
Mr. McNeill asked about financial resiliency. Ms. Boyles answered that it refers to
long-term financial implications on the recommendations within the
Comprehensive Plan. She stated that one issue is how the Town would maintain
financial stability as the growth of the Town slows.
Mr. Wren asked about the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and how this
would be handled. Ms. Boyles answered that it is a separate plan being completed
in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan. She stated that because of the land
use implications, the LRTP logistically is completed after the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. McNeill asked about the timeframe for approval of the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Boyles answered that the plan will be drafted over the summer after the open
house in June. She stated that once the draft plan is completed, another open
house would be held and then the draft plan would go to the Commission for a
public hearing and review. She stated that the Commission might need additional
meetings to review the entire document.

Mr. Greg St. Pierre, applicant, reviewed the request with the Commission. He
stated that they are not opposed to remaining in the HNB-VR-OD. He stated
that there have been no complaints from the neighbors on the current use of

the property. He stated that they are requesting the rezoning to bring the
property into compliance.
Mr. Neal asked if the reason for the request is because of a code violation. Mr.
St. Pierre answered in the affirmative. Mr. Neal asked if there is a privacy fence
around the property. Mr. St. Pierre answered in the affirmative and stated that
there is an eight-foot privacy fence with landscaping. Mr. Neal asked how the
property is accessed. Mr. St. Pierre answered that there is access from Venning
Road and Lacannon Lane. Mr. Neal asked if the access is paved. Mr. St. Pierre
answered in the negative and stated that it is a gravel road.
Mr. Millet asked about the boat storage. Mr. St. Pierre answered that they allow
boat storage in the overflow parking areas. Mr. Millet asked if they charge for
the boat storage fee. Mr. St. Pierre answered in the negative.
Mr. Neal stated that he is supportive of the request as it would bring the
property into compliance.
Mr. Millet asked about the removal from the HNB-VR-OD. Ms. Canon answered
that staff explained the requirements of the HNB-VR-OD with the applicant prior
to their submittal. She stated that because the request does not meet the intent
of the HNB-VR-OD, staff recommended not including the property in the HNB-
VR-OD; however, there is nothing in the overlay provisions that would prohibit
the applicant from conducting the business as it is if it were to remain in the
overlay.
There being no comments, Mr. Wren closed the public hearing.
Ms. Smith expressed concern with AB-2 as it would allow self-storage units. Mr.
Rutherford answered that self-storage would require a conditional use
approval.
Mr. Millet asked if there are restrictions on what type of storage is included in
the special exception for the outdoor storage. Ms. Canon answered in the
negative and stated that the special exception would be tied to a site plan and
a specific use.

Mr. Wren asked if hotels are allowed in AB-2. Mr. Rutherford answered in the
affirmative and stated that the overlay does restrict commercial building size to
15,000 square feet.
Mr. McNeill asked if a special exception and DRB approval would still be
required. Mr. Rutherford answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Gates asked if the uses would be restricted according to the corporate
documents and the uses allowed under the corporate documents. Mr. Pagliarini
answered that the zoning would be approved for the property and not the
specific user or owner. The zoning would dictate the types of uses allowed.
Mr. Millet moved for approval of the request. Mr. Neal seconded the motion.
Mr. Wren asked if the property should remain in the HNB-VR-OD.
Mr. Millet withdrew his motion. Mr. Neal withdrew his second.
Mr. Millet moved for approval of the rezoning request including all staff
comments and denial of the request to remove the property from the HNB-VR-
OD. Mr. Cuttino seconded the motion. All in favor.
Mr. Wren thanked staff for their work regarding code enforcement.
B. Proposal to amend the following sections of Chapter 156 of the Mount
Pleasant Code of Ordinances pertaining to the attendance provisions for all
Board and Commission members: Planning Commission section 156.400;
Board of Zoning Appeals section 156.410; Design Review Board section
156.420; Historical Commission section 156.440; Construction Board of
Adjustments section 150.003; Old Village Historic District Commission
section 156.430; and Cultural Arts and Pride Commission section 32.32
Ms. Canon reviewed the staff report with the Commission. Mr. Pagliarini
clarified that this was initiated by Town Council.
Mr. McNeill asked for clarification on the language “appears imminent”. Mr.
Pagliarini agreed that this language is not clear and could be changed. Mr.
McNeill asked if the excused absence would count toward the 75% attendance.
Planning Commission
April 18, 2018
Page 6 of 7
Mr. Pagliarini answered that the excused absence would not count toward the
75% attendance. Mr. McNeill asked who would track the attendance. Mr.
Pagliarini answered that this is still to be determined, but once determined that
the attendance has not been met, the Town Administrator would be responsible
for notifying the commission member of their removal.
Mr. Millet asked if the attendance would include special meetings. Mr.
Pagliarini answered that the attendance pertains to all called meetings.
Ms. Smith asked how many Commissioners have not met the 75% attendance
to date. Mr. Pagliarini answered that he was not sure.
Mr. Wren asked if the special meetings would be included and suggested
that this could be problematic as these meetings are not regularly scheduled.
He expressed concern that the special meetings are not advertised in advance
and based on when scheduled could be a conflict with commission member
work schedules. He suggested that it should be clarified who would keep track
of the absences and suggested that the chair and a staff person should be
responsible for tracking the absences. Mr. Pagliarini stated that this
recommendation could be forwarded for consideration.
Mr. McNeill suggested that the commission members should be notified when
they are in danger of not meeting the attendance requirement.
Mr. Cuttino asked when the ordinance would take effect. Mr. Pagliarini
answered that this would need to be clarified by Town Council as to what the
effective date would be and if it would apply retroactively.
Mr. Gates suggested that attendance should be tracked by Human Resources.
Mr. Neal asked if it is clarified what is considered attending a meeting. Mr.
Pagliarini answered in the negative and stated that this is not clarified in the
current ordinance.
There being no comments, Mr. Wren closed the public hearing.
Ms. Smith moved for approval of the request including all comments from
Commission. Mr. Wren seconded the motion.
Planning Commission
April 18, 2018
Page 7 of 7
Mr. Pagliarini clarified the recommended changes as follows:
➢ Change “appears imminent”
➢ Prior notice changed to chair and staff
➢ Consideration of clarifying what constitutes attendance at a meeting
Mr. Cuttino asked about recommending an effective date. Mr. Pagliarini
answered that a recommendation could be made if desired.
Mr. Cuttino moved to amend the motion to recommend that the effective
date of the ordinance be January 1, 2019. Mr. Neal seconded the motion.
Ms. Smith suggested that the recommended effective date was fair as it would
not penalize members for prior absences.
Mr. Wren suggested that having the attendance based on a calendar year would
be easier to administer.
Mr. Wren called for a vote on the amendment. All in favor.
Mr. Wren called for a vote on the amended motion. All in favor.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:03 pm.

RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan 2009-2019 (2014 Update) Future Land Use Map recommends Community
Conservation land uses for the subject property (see map below). The following list of applicable
Comprehensive Plan goals and strategies is provided so that they may be considered along with this
zoning request:
• Recognize and protect the character of Mount Pleasant’s existing residential neighborhoods
and communities.
• Recognize the significance of historic, traditional, rural, and planned communities, and maintain
their desirable characteristics such as prevailing densities, building types, and quiet streets.
• Ensure that new development in residential districts is compatible in scale and character and
conserves important neighborhood characteristics.
STAFF COMMENTS
1. Request is to rezone the subject parcels from AB, Areawide Business District, to AB-2, Areawide
Business-2 District. Also request to not remain in the HNB-VR-OD, Hungryneck Boulevard-Venning
Road Overlay District.
Staff Report – 1124 & 1126 Venning Rd. Page 3 of 4
2. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends Community Conservation land uses for
this area. Both the requested AB-2 zoning and the current AB zoning are not consistent with this
designation.
3. The properties were annexed into the Town and zoned AB in 2009 at the property owner’s request.
Although not consistent with the then-current FLUM recommendation of ARC, Agricultural
Residential Community, a precursor to the current CC designation, the properties were zoned
Residential Office (OR) and General Office (OG), respectively, in Charleston County, and utilized for
office/commercial uses. The HNB-VR-OD was applied during the annexation and zoning into the
Town.
4. The properties have recently come to the attention of the Town Code Enforcement Officer regarding
the use of the property in a manner that is not consistent with the current AB zoning. The existing
use has outdoor storage associated with it, which requires AB-2 zoning and a Special Exception
through the Board of Zoning Appeals.
5. Nearby properties are either zoned AB in the Town or are zoned R-4, Single Family Residential in the
County, with most being included in the HNB-VR-OD.
6. Should the request to rezone be approved, the applicant will need to obtain Special Exception
approval through the Board of Zoning Appeals as well as commercial site plan approval through the
Design Review Board.

Chapter 156.400-Planning Commission
(C) Vacancy and removal.
(1) A vacancy in the term of office shall occur whenever it is found that a member has
resigned, is unable to serve for whatever reason, or is removed for cause by the Mayor and Town
Council.
(a) Neglect of duty, no longer being a resident of the town, or misconduct in office shall
constitute just cause.
(b) Attendance at less than 75% of called meetings on an annual basis (calendar year),
and/or more than one unexcused absence per year shall constitute just cause for removal.
(b) Each member is required to attend 75% of called meetings per year on a rolling-year
basis which shall be measured on the first of every month for the preceding year. Each
member shall be afforded one excused absence which shall not be counted towards the

1. Excused and unexcused absences are to be determined by the Chairperson or, in his

2. EXCUSED ABSENCES are generally defined as medical or family emergencies or
unavoidable business/personal conflicts.
a. Each member is responsible for notifying the Chairperson or the appropriate staff at
least two full working days prior to the meeting, if he or she will not be in attendance.
b. The member shall also state a reason for the anticipated absence.
c. Emergency situations that arise within this 48-hour period can be considered
excused by the Chairperson.
(2) If removal for cause, except due to attendance, appears imminent, the Chairperson shall
contact the member and ascertain whether removal should be considered by the Mayor and Town
Council. The Chairperson shall then make a recommendation to Council, prior to Council action
on the matter.

represent the Commission shall contact the Planning Director, who shall report the information
to the Town Administrator. The Town Administrator shall then report the information to Council
for its consideration on the matter.
(3) If removal for cause due to attendance appears imminent, the Town Administrator

reasonably be accomplished by the Mayor and Town Council, in the same manner as the original
appointment.

Intergovernmental Agreement with Charleston County: Signs
Purpose: To allow the Town of Mount Pleasant to enforce the County sign ordinance in the
unincorporated areas of Mount Pleasant. This allows an opportunity to enhance enforcement in
the County areas and to also provide for greater consistency throughout the Town with
enforcement.
• The County would still permit all permanent signs.
• The enforcement would only apply to prohibited signs.
• To ensure consistency between both the County and Town ordinances, the County may
amend the Mount Pleasant Overlay District in their Zoning ordinance to incorporate the
Town’s prohibited sign ordinance. This would ensure that the Town is able to enforce the
same ordinance throughout the entire Mount Pleasant area rather than enforcing two
different sets of regulations.
• The Town would handle enforcement of sign violations in the County as we do now in the
Town. This process typically begins with a verbal warning followed by a written warning.
If a ticket must be written, then the violation will be brought before the East Cooper
Magistrate court, not the Town of Mount Pleasant.
If the Committee supports this agreement then staff will begin coordinating with the County on
the appropriate ordinance amendments and details associated with finalizing the agreement.
