Ms. Whitley asked if more than one dwelling could be located on the property
if zoned R-1. Mr. Ulma answered that based on the acreage, the parcel could

the property was subdivided would it require Town Council approval. Mr.
Ulma answered in the negative.

2017 meeting
a. Request to Rezone approximately 6.97 acres of land from CC, Community
Conservation District, to R-2, Low Density Residential District at 1843 Rifle
Range, identified by TMS No. 561-00-00-012, and depicted on a plat
recorded in the Charleston County RMC Office in Plat Book DA, Page 508.
Mr. Ulma reviewed the request with the Committee (attachment 1). He
stated that the Planning Commission considered the request and did not have
a recommendation.
Mr. Bustos asked the number of dwelling units allowed under CC. Mr. Ulma
answered that approximately 21 homes would be allowed. Mr. Bustos asked
how many dwelling units would be allowed under R-2. Mr. Ulma answered
approximately 30 units would be allowed. He stated that the number of units
that would be built would be based on other requirements such as roadways,
buffers, open space, etc. Mr. Bustos asked about access. Mr. Ulma answered
that they would have an access from Rifle Range Road that would most likely
line up with Maple Hill Road. Mr. Bustos asked about buffers. Mr. Ulma
answered that he was not sure what the buffer requirements would be for CC
zoning.
Ms. Whitley expressed concern with increasing the density. Mr. Ulma clarified
that the density would not change with either CC zoning or R-2 zoning; only
the lot size would change. He stated that the density would remain three
units per acre.
Planning Committee

Mr. Brimmer stated that at the Planning Commission meeting, it was
indicated that the smaller lot sizes would allow for better preservation of
trees.
Mr. O’Rourke moved to recommend to Town Council approval of the zoning
request. Ms. Whitley seconded the motion.
Mr. Charlie Salmonson, owner, clarified that the zoning request would be to
have smaller lots for better preservation of trees, more open space.
Mr. David Roland, 1420 Page Tree Lane, expressed concern with maintaining
the access for Page Tree Lane. He stated that currently the property pin is
located in the middle of the roadway. He also expressed concern with
drainage and that the roadway is not impacted. He asked that the owners of
the surrounding homes be included in the discussions regarding development
of the property. He asked if cluster development would allow for more
homes to be built on the property. Mr. Ulma answered in the negative.
Mr. Bustos asked if Page Tree Lane would be impacted. Ms. Erin Stevens,
engineer for developer, answered that Page Tree Lane is not a dedicated
roadway. She stated that the property would have to be surveyed and it was
her understanding that Page Tree Lane was not located on the requested
property.
Mr. Bustos expressed concern with access of Page Tree Lane being impacted.
Ms. Stevens reiterated that her understanding was that Page Tree Lane was
not located on the requested property and that a survey would need to be
conducted to determine the exact location of the existing roadway.
Mr. Brimmer asked if the tree survey has been completed. Mr. Wilson
answered in the negative.
Ms. Whitley suggested that a deferral might be appropriate to determine the
location of the roadway.
Mr. O’Rourke stated that this is a rezoning request and suggested that the
Page Tree Lane access would not impact the rezoning.
Planning Committee
January 8, 2018
Page 5 of 11
Mr. Brimmer agreed and suggested that the sketch plan would provide
additional information on access, open space, trees, etc.
Mr. Bustos asked if the roadway issue could be resolved by Town Council. Mr.
Salmonson answered that they could attempt to address the issue.
Mr. Bustos called for a vote on the motion. Motion failed on a 2 to 2 vote with
Ms. Whitley and Mr. O’Rourke in favor; Mr. Brimmer and Mr. Bustos opposed.
b. Request to amend approximately 12.3 acres of the Dunes West PD,
Planned Development District Ordinance, by rezoning from R-1, Low
Density Residential District, to DW-C-R-1, Dunes West Covington R-1 on
Bessemer Road, identified by TMS No,: 583-00-00-003 and 583-03-00-254
thru -261, -263, and -265 thru -281, and depicted on a plat recorded in the
Charleston County RMC Office in Plat Book L17, Page 0033.
Mr. Ulma reviewed the request with the Committee (attachment 1).
Mr. Brimmer asked the reason for the request. Mr. Ulma answered that it
would allow for the reduced setbacks and restrict construction of ADUs. Mr.
Brimmer asked if the setbacks would be different from Dunes West. Mr. Ulma
answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Chris Donato stated that the proposed C-R-1 lots with the reduced
setbacks would provide more development flexibility with different house
types. He stated that these units would count toward the maximum units
allowed within Dunes West.
Mr. Bustos asked if access would be from Brightwood. Mr. Donato answered
in the affirmative.
Mr. Brimmer asked if the side setbacks would change. Mr. Donato answered
in the affirmative.
Ms. Kathy Landing, 2114 Sewee Indian Court, stated that she toured the
property and the model home. She suggested that having the additional
flexibility would allow for customization of the homes, which is desired.
Planning Committee
January 8, 2018
Page 6 of 11
Mr. Kevin Cunnane, 3032 River Vista Way, stated that this would add land to
the Dunes West PD and expressed concern with this since there was recently
a large effort to bring consistency in zoning with the Dunes West/Park West
PD.
Ms. Whitley asked if only the setbacks would change. Mr. Donato answered
in the affirmative. He stated that the lot coverage would remain the same as
well. Ms. Whitley asked if the request would restrict the construction of
ADUs. Mr. Donato answered in the affirmative.
Ms. Whitley moved to recommend to Town Council approval of the request.
Mr. O’Rourke seconded the motion. Motion failed on a 2 to 2 vote with Ms.
Whitley and Mr. O’Rourke in favor; Mr. Brimmer and Mr. Bustos opposed.
c. Request to amend the I’On PD, Planned Development District Ordinance
(Ord. No. 97010) by amending the text pertaining to the section
“Neighborhood Standards,” which includes Yard, Porches, Outbuildings
and Building Types. This request affects various properties located
throughout the approximately 243-acre area comprising the I’On
development.
Mr. Ulma reviewed the request with the Committee (attachment 1). He
stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval.
Ms. Julie O’Connor, 50 Eastlake Rd, and member of the I’On Architectural
Committee, stated that this would bring the PD into compliance with the 1999
written determination.
Mr. Bustos asked if this would reduce the setbacks. Ms. O’Connor answered
in the affirmative and stated that it would be the same setbacks that have
been used based on the 1999 determination.
Mr. Brimmer asked the reason for the change. Mr. Prause answered that this
is to formalize and adopt the determination by ordinance. Mr. Brimmer asked
if there have been recent instances that have precipitated the change. Mr.
Prause answered that building plans are being received that meet the
standards outlined in the 1999 determination, but do not meet the ordinance
requirements. Mr. Brimmer asked the number of homes built in 1999. Ms.
Planning Committee
January 8, 2018
Page 7 of 11
O’Connor answered that approximately 50 homes were built in 1999; now
there are approximately 600 homes built.
Ms. Whitley asked how the homes were built if they were non-conforming.
Mr. Prause answered that the homes built under the 1999 determination
would be considered non-compliant, not non-conforming. Ms. Whitley asked
what the practical impact would be. Mr. Prause answered that if the
standards are not formalized, then a variance would be needed for any
changes to the existing homes. He stated that since the Board of Zoning
Appeals hears requests based on hardship, a variance would not be an
appropriate remedy; it should be corrected through an amendment to the
ordinance.
Ms. O’Connor clarified that the 1999 determination was recognized as the
building standard and homes were built based on this determination. She
stated that good practice is to change the ordinance and the reason for the
request.
Mr. Bustos asked if not approved, what is the legal ramification. Mr. Pagliarini
answered that the homes are non-compliant and if there is any damage to the
home, the home would have to be repaired or rebuilt to the standards
outlined in the ordinance. This could mean that a homeowner could not
rebuild the same home they had prior to the damage.
Ms. Whitley asked how many lots remain vacant. Mr. Prause answered that
he is not sure, but stated that this would affect any additions as well. Ms.
Whitley asked if the request would formalize the standards that have been
used since 1999. Mr. Prause answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Bustos stated that the lot coverage requirements would change and
expressed concern with this.
Mr. Brimmer asked the reason for using the 1999 determination as opposed
to adhering to the ordinance requirements. Mr. Prause answered that he is
not sure. Mr. Brimmer suggested that staff determine if there are any other
determinations that would require an ordinance change and have these
corrected as well.
Planning Committee
January 8, 2018
Page 8 of 11
Mr. Bustos stated that he is not in favor of zero setbacks. He asked the
number of remaining vacant lots. Ms. O’Connor answered that there are
approximately three vacant lots remaining in the phases that are currently
under construction. She stated that there is one phase remaining where
construction has not yet started. She stated that if an existing non-compliant
home is damaged through a storm event, fire, etc., it will not be allowed to be
rebuilt unless it meets the ordinance requirements.
Mr. Brimmer expressed concern with homes being built based on a
determination letter and not on what was approved by ordinance.
Mr. Gary Santos, 1690 Greystone Blvd, stated that there was some dissention
on Town Council at the time the I’On ordinance was approved.
Mr. O’Rourke suggested that because the homes were developed based on
the 1999 determination, there could be legal issues and suggested that it
would be legally easier to amend the ordinance than to not and experience
significant legal ramifications.
Ms. Whitley suggested that the change should only apply to the phases
currently built out, but not to future phases. Mr. Prause answered that there
are ten phases within I’On. Ms. Whitley expressed concern with the 60% lot
coverage and that this could have an impact with Town drainage.
Mr. Bustos suggested that the ordinance should be upheld.
Ms. Whitley moved to recommend to Town Council denial of the request. Mr.
Bustos seconded the motion. Motion passed on a 3 to 1 with Mr. Brimmer,
Ms. Whitley, and Mr. Bustos in favor; Mr. O’Rourke opposed.
6. Annexation: 448 Gurley Street. Request to annex an approximately 0.69
acre tract of land located at 448 Gurley Street, identified by TMS No. 556-00-
00-004 and depicted on a plat recorded by the Charleston County RMC
Office in Plat Book T96, Page 0168.

Ms. Whitley moved to recommend to Town Council approval of the annexation of
449 Gurley Street. Mr. O’Rourke seconded the motion. All in favor.
8. Progress Report & Schedule for Amendments to Tree Protection &
Bufferyard Regulations
Mr. Ulma provided an update for the Committee. He stated that staff estimates
that a draft could be considered at the March meeting. He stated that the
Chamber of Commerce and the development community have provided input as
well that would be included for consideration as staff moves forward.
9. Workforce Housing Committee Progress Report
Mr. Ulma updated the Committee on the progress of the Workforce Housing
Committee. He stated that based on legal advice, a full 1023 should be completed
for formulation of the 501c3. He stated that this additional legal work would cost
approximately $7,500.
Mr. Bustos asked the reason for the length of time needed for progress. He
suggested that there are funds being provided with little result.
Mr. O’Rourke expressed concern with implementation of workforce housing. He
suggested that the Town needs to have a lengthy discussion on how this would
move forward. He suggested that this could be included for discussion at the
retreat, especially since some funding from the Town would be needed for the
program to be successful.
Ms. Whitley expressed concern with moving forward and how funding would be
determined.
Planning Committee
January 8, 2018
Page 10 of 11
Mr. Brimmer stated that this was a way to provide a foundation for workforce
housing in the Town. He stated that at the time this was initiated, it was known
that it would take some time to accomplish.
Ms. Landing agreed that this should be discussed at the retreat. She stated that
the non-profit is one aspect, but suggested that there needs to be a clear
approach on how to move forward. She suggested that a private partnership
should be considered as well as the possibility of forming a real estate investment
trust. She agreed that it should be setup correctly so that it can be self-sufficient.
Ms. Whitley agreed that this should be discussed at the retreat.
Mr. Bustos asked that this topic be included for the retreat. Mr. DeMoura
answered that this would be done.
10. Progress Report on Comprehensive Plan Update
Mr. Ulma updated the Committee on the progress of the Comprehensive Plan
update.
Mr. O’Rourke asked the completion date. Mr. Ulma answered that the update
should be completed by October 2018.
11. Consideration of Potential Growth Management Plan
Mr. Bustos stated that he asked for this to be included on the agenda.
Mr. Ulma provided information on building permits issued for the last 20 years
through a PowerPoint presentation (attachment 1).
Mr. Bustos suggested that there should be a way to manage the amount of
growth, particularly because the infrastructure is not in place. He suggested that
the number of permits issued should be managed by some means.
Mr. O’Rourke suggested that there should be a plan, but suggested that there
should be discussion in conjunction with the amount of infrastructure that needs
to be accomplished and how the infrastructure would be funded.
Planning Committee
January 8, 2018
Page 11 of 11
Mr. Bustos agreed.
Mr. Brimmer asked if the number of units approved but not built includes units
that might never be accomplished. Mr. DeMoura answered that the approved
units is a true number of what can be built.
Mr. O’Rourke suggested that this should be discussed at the retreat so that staff
has a better idea of what direction Town Council would like to go.
The Committee agreed that this should be included for the retreat.
Mr. Brimmer asked for clarification on the request from I’On and if it would go to
Town Council. Mr. Bustos answered that it would be sent to Town council.
Mr. DeMoura stated that an executive session would be added to the Town
Council agenda for that item in the event it is needed.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 12:03 pm.
