Kent Prause
Mr. Bustos called the meeting to order at 1:36 pm. Mr. Bustos stated that
due to time constraints, a special meeting would be necessary to complete
discussion of the items on the agenda.
1. Approval of Minutes from the March 4, 2019 meeting
Mr. Brimmer moved for approval of the minutes. Ms. Whitley seconded the motion.
All in favor.
2. Public Comments
Ms. Pamela Bryant, 1105 N. Shadow drive, stated that she is an AirBnb host and
stated that short-term rentals are used to supplement their income. She stated
that they pay accommodations taxes. She suggested that regulations for rentals
should be the same regardless of whether it is considered a long-term rental or
short-term rental.
Ms. Laurie Bixler, 144 3th Avenue, suggested that hospitality taxes are not collected
for AirBnb rentals. She suggested that this should be collected. She asked that the
complaint portion should be clarified.
Mr. George Bixler, 144 3rd Avenue, thanked the Committee for their work on this
issue. He expressed concern with limiting the number of short-term rentals to 1%
for the entire town. He suggested that the 1% threshold should be for an area or
neighborhood.
Ms. Michele Whitbeck, 712 Hibbens Grant Blvd, thanked the Committee for their
work and the change to allow townhomes to be used for short-term rentals. She
suggested that the fee for having a short-term rental should be revisited as it seems
Planning Committee
April 1, 2019
Page 2 of 10
a little exorbitant, particularly since the inspections have been significantly reduced
or eliminated.
Ms. Tina Lybrand, 2154 Country Manor Drive, stated that there is a house in her
neighborhood that is used for short-term rentals that has potential building
violations. She asked for the Town to help with enforcement of regulations.
Ms. Mary Ricossi, 615 Bay Tree Court, stated that she is pleased with the progress
on this issue. She said that she supported a prior suggestion that short-term rentals
should only be allowed for local residents as this could prevent management
companies from having multiple homes in areas as short-term rentals.
Mr. Kenny Craft, 204 Spooner Lane, expressed concern with the parking
requirements and suggested that requiring an additional parking space for each
bedroom might be too extreme and should be reconsidered. He agreed that the
fee is exorbitant. He asked if current short-term rentals would be “grandfathered
in”.
Ms. Melissa Black, 920 Center Street, thanked the Committee for their work and
effort on this issue. She agreed that the 1% should be revisited and possibly
considered per area or neighborhood. She suggested that a short-term rental tax
could be considered and might be appropriate as well.
Ms. Jackie Line, 908 N. Shem Drive, stated that she would like the ability to have
multiple residences that are short-term rentals.
Mr. Trey Tessa, 164 Heritage Circle, stated that housing trends change and should
be considered when implementing these regulations so that there is flexibility for
the future.
Ms. Susie Smith, 1317 Erckman Drive, stated that she would like to retain the right
to continue short-term rental of her property. She stated that she is opposed to
additional taxes. She stated that requiring a business license is an appropriate
remedy for revenue. She suggested that the property rights of the owner should
be maintained. She stated that as a realtor she is seeing an increase in the desire
for property that allows secondary rental as additional income.

Ms. Alicia Lockwood, 316 Lapwing Lane, stated that being able to maintain her
home while having short-term rentals has given her the ability to supplement her
income. She suggested that regulations should not be put in place before they are
needed. She suggested that additional restrictions could be established in the
future if deemed necessary.
Mr. John Clark, 521 Pelzer Drive, stated that he just closed on the home his parents
previously owned. He expressed concern with the percentage cap and asked if it is
known how close the number of short-term rentals is to the suggested 1% cap. He
also expressed concern with what would be done once the cap was reached. He
asked if there is flexibility in some of the regulations regarding proximity of
management. He asked about regulations regarding noise, golf carts, etc.
Mr. Patrick Arnold, Trident Homebuilders Association, suggested that this is a good
effort. He suggested that there should not be a restriction on townhomes or multi-
family uses.
Mr. Greg Hefron, 1252 Deersling Court, suggested that short-term rentals are a
means of supplementing income. He asked if a cost analysis regarding the cost
versus the fees and taxes that are proposed to be charged has been completed as
well as the cost for implementing the program completed. He asked if additional
staff would be needed to implement the program.
Mr. Alex Graham, 1321 Bellevue Drive, stated that having a short-term rental
provides supplemental income. He suggested that short-term rentals for home
ownership should be allowed.
Ms. Pat Sullivan, 1002 Plantation Court, stated that she is opposed to annexation
and zoning of item 6B, LaCannon Lane. She suggested that a similar request was
not approved for an adjacent property. She suggested that the request for
annexation and zoning should be denied.
3. Employee years of service recognition
Mr. Ulma stated that this would be deferred to next month.
4. Budget Review FY 2020
a. Planning Department operating expenditures

Mr. Brimmer moved to recommend to Town Council approval of the zoning
request. Mr. O’Rourke seconded the motion. All in favor.
f. Proposal to amend Chapter 156 of the Mount Pleasant Code of
Ordinances, to help administer the tree ordinance regulation more
effectively and make the internal process more efficient by improving the
review process for single family residential construction. Proposed
amendments include the following: repeal the current tree replacement
requirements 156.224(C)(1) & (2) establishing different standards for lots
according to the date the lot was created, and where the tree is located
relative to the building setback; make changes allowing the applicant to
mitigate for removals concurrently while complying with the new Single
Family Stormwater Management and Tree Preservation Program; and
better define mitigation requirements to be more consistent with the
type of trees removed. The objective of these amendments is to improve
how the Town responds and guides applicants through the process. This
will solve internal complications, create a stronger tree protection
ordinance, and result in a better outcome for saving and preserving trees
throughout the Town boundaries.
Mr. Ulma reviewed the request with the Committee. He stated that the
Planning Commission recommended approval.
Mr. Bustos asked who would make the decision on mitigation. Mr. Ulma
answered that the homeowner would have the option to plant trees or pay
into tree bank. He stated that the amount of mitigation required would be
determined by staff.
Mr. Brimmer expressed concern with having the option to pay into the tree
bank. He suggested that paying into the tree bank should be a last resort
rather than a first option. Mr. Mitchell stated that the mitigation requirements
would not change. He stated that if paying into the tree bank, it would require
1 ½ times the market cost of the mitigation tree. He suggested that it would
be a better option for the homeowner to plant trees as opposed to paying into
tree bank. Mr. Ulma clarified that this would pertain to the individual
homeowner or builder, not developers. Mr. Mitchell agreed and stated that
this mitigation process would be after the subdivision has been laid out.

[Ms. Whitley left at this time (2:20 pm).]
Mr. Brimmer stated that he is not comfortable with allowing automatic tree
bank payments.
Mr. O’Rourke suggested that if paid into the tree bank fund, it could help to
accomplish the goals of the Town to have more tree canopy as there would be
more funding for those types of projects.
Mr. Bustos suggested that it should not be too easy to remove trees and not
require planting of replacement trees. He asked if part of the
recommendation could be forwarded with the third recommendation coming
back to the Committee for further discussion next month. Mr. DeMoura
answered that this could be accomplished.
Mr. O’Rourke moved to recommend to Town Council approval of
recommended text amendments 1 and 2 with deferral of recommendation 3
back to the Committee next month for further discussion. Mr. Brimmer
seconded the motion. All in favor.
g. Proposal to amend Paragraph (C), Table of Bufferyard Requirements, of
section 156.201, Bufferyards, of Chapter 156, Zoning Code, of the Mount
Pleasant Code of Ordinances pertaining to bufferyard requirements
located between: a) the Duplex/Townhouse land use category and
existing adjacent land uses, and between b) the Multi-family or Group
Dwelling land use category and existing adjacent land uses.
Mr. Ulma reviewed the request with the Committee. He stated that the
Planning Commission recommended approval.
Mr. Brimmer moved to recommend to Town Council approval of the request.
Mr. O’Rourke seconded the motion. All in favor.
h. Proposal to amend sub-paragraph (b)(1) of section 156.225, Provisions for
Tree Removal, of Chapter 156, Zoning Code, of the Mount Pleasant Code
of Ordinances establishing a reference to the design standards of section
155.048 of Chapter 155, Land Development Regulations, pertaining to the
installation of replacement trees in the public right-of-way. Includes
Planning Committee
April 1, 2019
Page 8 of 10
proposal to amend the Town of Mount Pleasant Code of Ordinances,
Chapter 155, Land Development Regulations. Proposed is to amend
Paragraph (F), Design Standards, of section 155.048, Streets, of Chapter
155, Land Development Regulations, of the Mount Pleasant Code of
Ordinances by adding a new sub-paragraph (21) thereto, establishing
design standards for the location and installation of street trees.
Mr. Ulma reviewed the request with the Committee. He stated that the
Planning Commission recommended approval.
Mr. Bustos asked if this would affect the planting of trees on Coleman Blvd.
Mr. DeMoura answered that palmetto trees have a smaller root system that
would not affect the roadway. He stated that this amendment would pertain
to larger trees with more intricate root systems that are desired to be planted
in neighborhoods along the right-of-way.
Mr. Brimmer asked if the Public Services Department is comfortable with the
amendment. Mr. Ulma answered that this was preliminarily reviewed with
the Public Services Director. He stated that he would confirm this prior to the
Town Council meeting.
Mr. O’Rourke moved to recommend to Town Council approval. Mr. Brimmer
seconded the motion. All in favor.
Mr. Bustos stated that due to time constraints, the remainder of the agenda would
be deferred to a special meeting.
Mr. O’Rourke suggested that due to the number of members of the public present
for short-term rentals that this should be discussed before adjourning the meeting.
Mr. Bustos agreed to review short-term rentals.
7. Consideration of easements on Mathis Ferry Road for the purpose of
underground power lines
This item was deferred to a special meeting.

8. Discussion of 2nd draft of Short Term Rental regulations
Ms. Canon reviewed the request with the Committee and the changes from last
month’s meeting.
Mr. Bustos stated that the program should be self-sustaining and that the Finance
office did review what would be required in terms of regulation and enforcement
of this program and the fee was based on this exercise.
Mr. O’Rourke suggested that the regulations should be implemented and then if
additional changes are needed, they can be done at a later date.
Mr. Brimmer asked about only allowing short-term rentals for owner-occupied
property and if it could be based on the county tax assessment percentage. Ms.
Canon answered that if rented more than 72 days, the county would assess the
property at 6% rather than the 4% assessment. Mr. Brimmer suggested that only
owner-occupied homes should be allowed to have short-term rentals. Mr.
Brimmer suggested that the 1% cap should be eliminated as this could cause a
concentration in areas not prohibited through covenants and restrictions.
Mr. O’Rourke suggested that the intent of having a 1% cap is a good start and
should be implemented.
Mr. Bustos suggested that eliminating the 1% cap could mean a higher
concentration of short-term rentals.
Mr. O’Rourke suggested that the cap remain and be evaluated on effectiveness in
the future.
Mr. Bustos suggested that only primary residences should be allowed as an STR.
Mr. Brimmer suggested that the 1% cap should be eliminated.
Mr. Brimmer asked about hosting events and limiting the number allowed. Ms.
Canon answered that this was to try to prevent events or parties being held. She
suggested that the number of overnight guests was to discourage parties. Mr.
Brimmer suggested that the intent should be clarified as it appears that hosting a
party would be prohibited, but not necessarily the intent. Mr. Brimmer asked if
multi-family would be prohibited from having short-term rentals and how this
Planning Committee
April 1, 2019
Page 10 of 10
would be regulated. Ms. Canon answered that multi-family zoning for multi-family
units would prohibit short-term rental.
Mr. Prause stated that the intent is that apartments would not be allowed as short-
term rentals. He suggested that the portion of the ordinance is an error that
inadvertently remained with the various revisions and would be corrected and
removed.
Mr. Brimmer asked about notification of violations and if multiple violations would
be considered one violation for length of the rental. He suggested that it should be
actual violations and cumulative, with protection built in for harassment.
Mr. Brimmer moved for approval of the draft ordinance with the corrections and
comments from the Committee and that it be forwarded to the Planning
Commission for a public hearing. Mr. O’Rourke seconded the motion. All in favor.
Mr. Brimmer thanked staff for their hard work on this issue over the past months.
Mr. Bustos stated that the remainder of the agenda items would be deferred to a
special meeting.
9. Discussion of zoning regulations for telecommunications towers in PI-2
zoning district
10. Comprehensive Plan and Council review schedule
11. Continued discussion of hotels and zoning regulations
12. Continued discussion of self-storage facilities and zoning regulations
13. Continued discussion of building heights in the Johnnie Dodds and Chuck
Dawley portions of the Boulevard Overlay District
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 2:46 pm.

f. Proposal to amend Chapter 156 of the Mount Pleasant Code of
Ordinances, to help administer the tree ordinance regulation more
effectively and make the internal process more efficient by
improving the review process for single family residential
construction. Proposed amendments include the following: repeal
the current tree replacement requirements 156.224(C)(1) & (2)
establishing different standards for lots according to the date the lot
was created, and where the tree is located relative to the building
setback; make changes allowing the applicant to mitigate for
removals concurrently while complying with the new Single Family
Stormwater Management and Tree Preservation Program; and
better define mitigation requirements to be more consistent with
the type of trees removed. The objective of these amendments is to
improve how the Town responds and guides applicants through the
process. This will solve internal complications, create a stronger tree
protection ordinance, and result in a better outcome for saving and
preserving trees throughout the Town boundaries.
