2.Public Comments
Ms. Laurie Bixler, 144 3rd Ave, spoke regarding short-term rentals. She
expressed concern with the number of permits exceeding the cap of 400
permits. She asked that an advisory committee or commission should be
established to review the procedures and determine a program that would be
beneficial for all.
Ms. Mari Ricozzi, 136 Heritage Circle, spoke regarding short-term rentals.
She stated that short-term rental operation is her business. She stated that the
business does not provide a huge profit but does provide income. She
suggested that the professionals should have input on the procedures. She
asked that minimal changes should be considered to keep the program working
smoothly.
Mr. Robbie Whitsell, 312 Fiddlers Point Lane, member of Lifepark Church
spoke regarding the proposed Highway 17 North Retail Village development.
He stated that the proposed pet daycare business is too close to the church. He
suggested that it would produce noise to the point of being an annoyance and
nuisance. He asked that the request be denied, the location of the pet daycare
be moved farther from the church property, or the outdoor activities of the
business restricted so the church activities are not disturbed.

Ms. Reed reviewed the request with the Committee.
Mr. Morrison and Mr. Aton updated the Committee on several
transportation issues including the signal at Rifle Range Road, internal
roadways, and access for the subject parcels.
The Committee recommended that staff consider a turn-around or
additional egress for Fortier Drive, and there should not be access from
Hungryneck Boulevard or Midtown Avenue, but only from the Gather site.
Mr. Morrison and Ms. Reed noted that Fortier Drive would be reviewed
during the impact assessment approval process and that the Central Mount
Pleasant PD and the Overlay District management system addressed internal
accesses and roadways.
