Miscellaneous: Ms. Shuler reminded the Commission about the Joint UDO Workshop with Town Council on Thursday, March 22, 2018 at the Chamber boardroom at 402 N. Main Street. She briefly explained that the focus of the workshop would be to allow staff to get an understanding of the route that the Commission and Council would like to take regarding certain concerns that have arisen with particular sections of the UDO draft or the draft maps. Ms. Shuler confirmed that the public was invited, but she did plan to hold an additional public workshop for the public to be able to comment on possible revisions. She also stated that at this time, the plan was to hold the public hearing in May. Ms. Shuler also introduced Dennis Somnitz the newly hired Arborist/Natural Resource Planner for the Town. She briefly described that he would be reviewing tree removal permits, applications for new development regarding trees, working on a management plan for public trees (including an inventory), and also public education. Dr. Bares emphasized the need for Mr. Somnitz to also review the proposed UDO Chapter that addresses trees and provide comments. Mr. Somnitz confirmed that he had already printed that chapter out and started to review it. Mr. Cuzzell asked when the Commission’s seventh member would be appointed, and Ms. Shuler responded that she was not sure. She hopes that appointments will be made at next month’s Council meeting.

This property is included in the Town’s ‘Medium Residential Neighborhood’ area as identified within the Town’s 2009-2011 Comprehensive Plan and Update as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map; however, it also falls within a commercial activity center node. The proposed B-3 zoning as stated on the application for this site falls within the description of land uses recommended for commercial activity centers as approved by the Planning Commission and Town Council. This is the portion of the property that SCPW owns that will be sold and combined with the property at the corner of Orangeburg Road and Greenwave Boulevard owned by Greenwave Self Storage that was before the PC in February for annexation and will allow for them to expand their existing self-storage facility. The property would be deed restricted by SCPW to prohibit any residential uses and certain other commercial uses as the wastewater treatment plant is located on the SCPW property. Based on these findings this request is interpreted by staff to be in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for approval. TMS#: 136-07-02-004 Location: 1225 Central Avenue Description: one lot totaling approximately 1.58 acres Request: Rezoning to B-2 from R-1 The property owner, Tracy Page, is requesting for the above referenced parcel to be rezoned from R-1 Single-family Residential to B-2, Neighborhood Business Center. This property is included in the Town’s ‘Rural Residential Neighborhood’ area as identified within the Town’s 2009-2011 Comprehensive Plan and Update as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map; however, it also falls within a commercial activity center node. The owner proposes to use the primary structure as her dental office and live in the accessory building behind. The proposed B-2 zoning as stated on the application for this site falls within the description of land uses included in the commercial activity center nodes. In addition, this property is immediately adjacent to other properties outside of the Town limits that are zoned R-4 in Dorchester County, which would allow for a dental office. Based on these findings this request is interpreted by staff to be in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for approval. TMS#: 130-15-01-007 Location: 701 W. 5th North Street Description: one lot totaling approximately 0.452 acres Request: Rezoning to B-2 from R-2 The property owner, Catherine Strickland, is requesting for the above referenced parcel to be rezoned from R-2 Single-family Residential to B-2, Neighborhood Business Center. This property is right on the edge of the Town’s ‘Neighborhood Mixed Use’ and ‘Medium Residential Neighborhood’ area as identified within the Town’s 2009-2011 Comprehensive Plan and Update as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map. The ‘Neighborhood Mixed Use’ district is intended to encourage the integration of neighborhood service-oriented businesses and residential land uses. Services should include low intensity commercial land uses such as sales of consumer goods, health and personal care, insurance, real estate, financial services, senior housing and religious institutions. The owner proposes to sell the property to a security system for their business office, which falls within the description of land uses recommended for this immediate area as approved by the Planning Commission and Town Council. In addition, this property is immediately adjacent to other properties in the block that are zoned B-3 and is proposed to be zoned as Neighborhood Mixed-Use (N-MX) under the draft UDO. Based on these findings this request is interpreted by staff to be in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for approval. TMS#: 130-15-05-001 Location: 801 N. Palmetto Street Description: one lot totaling approximately 2.27 acres Request: Rezoning to R-2 from PUD The property owners, Sam and Helen Hiott and Mary Coker, are requesting for the above referenced parcel to be rezoned from PUD, Planned Development District to R-2, Single-Family Residential. This property is included in the Town’s ‘Medium Residential Neighborhood’ area as identified within the Town’s 2009-2011 Comprehensive Plan and Update as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map. No PUD document has ever been approved for the property, and a PUD would require mixed use. The owners are proposing to sell the property for the development of single-family detached homes. The proposed R-2 zoning as stated on the application for this site falls within the description of land uses recommended for this immediate area as approved by the Planning Commission and Town Council. In addition, this property is immediately adjacent on both sides to other properties in the block that are zoned R-2. Based on these findings this request is interpreted by staff to be in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for approval. TMS#: 145-09-02-006 Location: 102 King Charles Court Description: one lot totaling approximately 0.78 acres Request: Annexation and zoning to R-2 The property owners are requesting for the above referenced parcel to be annexed into the Town from Dorchester County. The existing zoning in Dorchester County is R-1 Single-Family Residential. The property owner would like to build a home on the property and must petition for annexation in order to be granted sewer service from SCPW as the property is adjacent (by a single point) to the current Town limits. This property is included in the Town’s ‘Medium Residential Neighborhood’ area as identified within the Town’s 2009-2011 Comprehensive Plan and Update as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map. Both proposed annexation and zoning classification appear to be in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan & Update 2009-2011. 2  SO M ME RS ET AP TS D RD LL R HI NE BO O G N KI R PA L O O H SC APT PARKING T PRIVITE PV GREE NW AV E BLVD OR AN Rezoning Exhibit GE BU RG RD showing a portion of 144-00-00-080, Greenwave Boulevard to be rezoned B-3, General Business µ Legend Road Centerlines 144-00-00-080.000 Summerville Zoning B-3 PL 0 75 150 300 450 600 PUD Feet PUD/DA R-2 March 30, 2018 Disclaimer: This map is a graphic representation of data obtained from various sources.
