Memorandum
To: Planning & Development Committee
From: Jessi Shuler, Director of Planning
Date: January 9, 2023
Subjects 1 & 2: Staff Report for Annexation of TMS#s 152-00-00-051 and 152-01-02-007, Flood
Heirs Road and 116 Flood Heirs Road (future frontage on Berlin G. Myers Parkway)
________________________________________________________________
ISSUE
The property owners are requesting for the above referenced parcels to be annexed into the Town
from Dorchester County. The existing zonings in Dorchester County are MUC, Mixed Use
Community District and R-1, Single-Family Residential.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
These properties are not within the Planning Area as identified within the Summerville: Our Town, Our
Future Comprehensive Plan as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map. The adjacent
Limehouse Village PUD does allow for apartments and commercial development in the portions of the
development adjacent to the future route of the Berlin G. Myers Parkway, although no apartments will
be built. Dorchester County’s Future Land Use Map within their 2018 Comprehensive Plan identifies
these properties as Medium Density Traditional Neighborhood. That land use designation supports the
integration of higher levels of density, a mix of uses, and a variety of housing types, including
apartments. The property owners are currently proposing a mixed-use development with approximately
9,000 square feet of commercial along the road frontage and 316 apartment units on the remainder of
the property (the two parcels are planned to be developed together, see conceptual plan included in
packet); however, they are open to other uses/plans.
No public comment was received at the required public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff cannot determine whether this request is in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map, as it is outside that boundary; however, it does appear to be largely in
conformance with Dorchester County’s Future Land Use Map and the proposed UC-MX zoning is in
line with the uses in the approved Limehouse Village PUD on the adjacent property and with
Dorchester County’s MUC zoning district, which is the current zoning district for the smaller
property. Sewer availability/capacity and coordinating access and connectivity with SCDOT are
concerns that will need to be discussed further throughout the development process. The Traffic

www.SummervilleSC.gov
Impact Analysis (TIA) and Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) have not yet been finalized for this proposed
development at this time. Planning Commission made a recommendation for approval of the
annexation of both properties on a 3-1 vote.
Subject 3: Staff Report for Rezoning of TMS# 137-14-05-013, 800 S. Main Street
________________________________________________________________
ISSUE
The applicant is requesting for the above referenced parcel to be rezoned to N-MX from the current
zoning of GR-2.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
This property is included in the Town’s ‘Single-Family Residential’ area as identified within the
Summerville: Our Town, Our Future Comprehensive Plan as well as on the accompanying Future Land
Use Map, which includes detached single-family uses with a typical density of 2-5 units per acre.
This property currently has a small retail frame shop. The property was built in the 1920s as a
commercial building prior to the Town’s adoption of modern zoning districts. While the property is
immediately adjacent to other single-family homes, it does front S. Main Street and is across from a
school and the District Two Administrative offices. The existing use is a legal non-conforming use, and
the UDO does not allow a change to any other nonconforming use. The applicant would like to use the
building for their law office; however, since physical changes to the building (mostly interior) would be
required, the change in use to another nonconforming use is not allowed without a rezoning. The N-
MX zoning district is the most restrictive zoning district that would allow for the use of a professional
office. If the rezoning is approved, any exterior changes would still require BAR approval.
The public that commented during the required public hearing stated concerns about the rezoning,
including the proposed use as a law office for safety reasons and the proximity to the elementary
school; increased traffic as a result of the new use; and the potential for subdivision and clearing of
the currently undisturbed portion of the property. More detailed comments from the public hearing
can be found in the draft minutes from the Planning Commission meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed rezoning is not in line with the Town’s Future Land Use Plan; however, it is ultimately
Council’s decision as to whether the rezoning to Neighborhood Mixed-Use would detract from the
character of the surrounding area, or if it would better fit the existing structure and the context of this
site. Planning Commission made a recommendation for approval of the annexation of both properties
on a unanimous vote.

The Town of Summerville Planning Commission Meeting
Minutes
December 19, 2022
This meeting of the Town of Summerville Planning Commission was held in Town Council Chambers and
was attended by Commission Members, Jim Reaves, Chairman; Kevin Caroll, Vice Chairman; Jim Bailey;
and Tom Hart. Charlie Stoudenmire, Betty Profit, and Elaine Segelken were unable to attend. Staff in
attendance included Jessi Shuler, Director of Planning. The public was invited to attend in person, or they
viewed the meeting via live-stream.
Jim Reaves, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 4:11 PM.
Approval of Minutes:
The Chairman asked if there were any edits or additions to the minutes from the meeting on November 21,
2022. Mr. Bailey made a motion to approve the minutes as presented, and Mr. Hart made the second. The
motion passed unanimously.
Public Hearings:
The first public hearing opened at 4:12 PM and was for the petition by Mad Dog Development, LLC to
annex Dorchester County TMS# 152-00-00-051, 3.83 acres located off Flood Heirs Road, currently zoned
MUC, Mixed Use Community District, in Dorchester County and will be zoned UC-MX, Urban Corridor
Mixed-Use, upon annexation into the Town of Summerville’s municipal limits. (Council District 5) Mr.
Reaves introduced the item. Daniel Scarda with The Crest Group presented the application on behalf of
the owner. He explained that as the applicant they have plans to do commercial development along the
frontage with apartments behind; however, his group is also open to considering other uses depending on
what the Town is looking for. Nicole Scott with Nexsen-Pruet, representing the applicant, noted that this
goes with the next item on the agenda, and they are still developing a plan for the property. Mr. Carroll
asked if the commercial property would be along the Berlin G. Myers Parkway and how it would be
accessed. Mr. Scarda confirmed that it would front the Berlin G. Myers Parkway and would have a curb-
cut off the Parkway, although the exact access was still being reviewed with SCDOT. Hearing no further
public comment, this public hearing was closed at 4:16 PM.
The second public hearing opened at 4:16 PM and was for the petition by Ayako and Terry W. Richburg
to annex Dorchester County TMS# 152-01-02-007, 13.24 acres located at 116 Flood Heirs Road,
currently zoned R-1, Single-Family Residential, in Dorchester County and will be zoned UC-MX, Urban
Corridor Mixed-Use, upon annexation into the Town of Summerville’s municipal limits. (Council District
5) Mr. Reaves introduced the item. Ms. Scott reiterated that this property was adjacent to the previous
property and that they would come in and be developed together. She added that the access off the Berlin
G. Myers Parkway would be right-in, right-out only. Mr. Carroll asked for the total number of proposed
apartment units, the parking ratio, and the number of stories. Mr. Scarda replied that they were proposing
about 300 apartments with a parking ratio of 1.6 and that the buildings in the rear would be four stories.
Hearing no further public comment, this public hearing was closed at 4:18 PM.
The third and final public hearing opened at 4:19 PM and was for the request to rezone TMS# 137-14-05-
013, 800 S. Main Street, approximately 0.47 acres, and owned by John Thomas Wayne Beasley, from
GR-2, General Residential (2 units/acre), to N-MX, Neighborhood Mixed-Use. (Council District 3) Mr.
Reaves introduced the request. Brice Ricker with the Smith Ammons Howle and Ricker Law Firm stated
that he represented the law firm that was contracted to purchase the frame shop and was also speaking on
behalf of the current owner. He explained that his law office is currently on Old Trolley Road, but he’d
previously worked for a firm on Little Main and wanted to come back to the downtown area. Mr. Ricker
mentioned that he’d tracked down the history of the property, and the idea is to leave the building as is,
but make repairs as needed (roof, awning, broken window, flooring, walls, etc.). He stressed that the
property needs someone who cares enough about it to spend a lot of money on it, but still wants to
preserve the historic feel. Mr. Hart asked if he planned to keep the footprint the same with the same
windows and parking area. Mr. Ricker confirmed that they were not planning on any additions but would
like to remove the bars from the windows if the BAR allows it. For the parking area, they would not pave
it but would probably need to designate spots and make it safer. Mr. Hart then questioned the size of Mr.
Ricker’s firm. Mr. Ricker stated that they currently have two in their Summerville office, but they would
probably have 3-4 staff and about three appointments a day. Mr. Carroll asked about the space behind the
building, and Mr. Ricker noted that the property was about half an acre of mostly woods, and their ADA
entrance would possibly be at the side door. Mr. Reaves informed the Commission that the building was
a grocery before it was a frame shop.
Alison and David Abel of 726 S. Main Street expressed their concerns about the rezoning and the use of
the property as a law firm in particular. They questioned the type of law practiced with the proximity to
the elementary school and residences. Mr. Ricker responded that there are lawyers in his firm that do
criminal defense work, but not in Summerville, and he himself only does employment law currently.
They also mentioned that they were concerned about losing the green space at the back of the property.
They fear that traffic will increase, and the safety of their children will be taken away. They believe that
once the property becomes commercial, it will no longer be protected, and they noted that everyone
around the neighborhood is concerned.
Ms. Shuler read a letter into the record incorporated as part of these minutes from Meg Courtney of 806
S. Main Street describing her excitement about the property being restored, but also expressing her
concerns that the property will not be preserved in its entirety.
With no further comments, this public hearing was closed at 4:44 PM.
Old Business
There were no items under Old Business.
New Business:
The first item under New Business was New Street Names. Ms. Shuler informed the Commission that
there were no street names submitted for review.
The second item under New Business was the petition by Mad Dog Development, LLC to annex
Dorchester County TMS# 152-00-00-051, 3.83 acres located off Flood Heirs Road, currently zoned
MUC, Mixed Use Community District, in Dorchester County and will be zoned UC-MX, Urban Corridor
Mixed-Use, upon annexation into the Town of Summerville’s municipal limits. (Council District 5) Mr.
Hart made a motion to combine items two and three (petition by Ayako and Terry W. Richburg to annex
Dorchester County TMS# 152-01-02-007, 13.24 acres located at 116 Flood Heirs Road, currently zoned
R-1, Single-Family Residential, in Dorchester County and will be zoned UC-MX, Urban Corridor Mixed-
Use, upon annexation into the Town of Summerville’s municipal limits. (Council District 5)) and
recommend approval of the annexation of both properties. Mr. Bailey made the second. Mr. Carroll
noted that he is concerned about the density proposed, and he feels that the proposed uses would be out of
place with the surrounding single-family. Mr. Hart asked Ms. Shuler about the difference between
Dorchester County’s MUC zoning and the Town’s UC-MX. Ms. Shuler responded that she was not very
familiar with the MUC zoning, but that it did allow for a mix of uses like the UC-MX zoning did. Mr.
Carroll questioned where the water and sewer would be coming from, and Mr. Scarda explained that the
sewer would be from Dorchester County Water & Sewer and the water would be from the Dorchester
Water Authority, but they were still working out the details on the location of the connections. Following
the discussion Mr. Reaves called for the question, and the motion passed 3-1 with Mr. Carroll voting in
opposition.
The fourth and final item under New Business was the request to rezone TMS# 137-14-05-013, 800 S.
Main Street, approximately 0.47 acres, and owned by John Thomas Wayne Beasley, from GR-2, General
Residential (2 units/acre), to N-MX, Neighborhood Mixed-Use. (Council District 3) Mr. Carroll made a
motion to recommend approval of the rezoning, and Mr. Bailey made the second. Mr. Carroll asked Ms.
Shuler if the property was in the Historic District and if other uses would be allowed under the N-MX
zoning. Ms. Shuler confirmed that the property is in the Historic District, and that other commercial uses
would be allowed, but they are limited. Mr. Hart stated that he understands the concerns expressed, but
the N-MX would be a limited opening of commercial, and that it’s ultimately a final decision of Council.
Mr. Bailey noted that his children walk home by this property; however, he was struck by Mr. Ricker’s
desire to preserve the historic nature of the property. He feels that there would actually be more impact to
the property if it were to become a residence. He lamented that while zoning does keep the undesirable
commercial uses out, it also keeps out the small commercial uses that can be an integral part of a
neighborhood. Mr. Bailey also identified the potential for the applicant to consider a deed restriction to
keep the property from being subdivided in the future. Mr. Reaves stressed that being in the Historic
District provided this property with additional protections that other properties recently considered by the
Commission did not have. Mr. Hart then asked Ms. Shuler if there was a lot size limitation. Ms. Shuler
responded that there was no minimum lot size in N-MX, but there was in the existing GR-2 zoning
district. Following the discussion Mr. Reaves called for the question, and the motion passed 4-0.
Miscellaneous:
There were no items under Miscellaneous.
Adjourn
With no further business for the Commission, Mr. Bailey made a motion to adjourn with Mr. Carroll making
the second. The motion carried and the meeting was adjourned at 4:55 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,

December 19th, 2022
Dear Ms. Shuler and board members,
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter regarding the historic general store property located at
800 S. Main Street. The building and the property were originally built around the 1910s according to my
family that have been in this area for over 200 years.
My great grandmother Margaret Limehouse Powers owned the property and successfully ran the only
general store in the area. Many in the community relied on the store for many years. In fact, the general
store provided more than just the groceries, it also provided the local high school students with daily
lunches. It was my grandfather John Tracey Powers that made sure the lunches were delivered each
school day. The store was eventually sold to Mr. Beasley for $456 in 1946. He continued to operate the
general store well into the 1980s. Mr. Beasley sold the store to buy the lot adjacent from his uncle in
Stallsville.
I have spent my entire life living next to the general store. It is deeply rooted into the community as it is
an iconic property loved by the many people that have lived on and around the Main Street area for
generations. I know I can speak on behalf of several in the area, we are excited to see the old building
being restored to preserve the history we all remember and love.
However, I have deep concerns that the property will not be preserved in its entirety. The total lot is
0.47 acres. The property in its entirety is a historical site with not only the historic building, but the large
live oaks and azaleas that have been on the property for as long if not longer then the building itself. I
am concerned the new owners will subdivide the lot and sell the back half of the lot. The development
of the back half of the lot would not only eliminate the historical trees, camellias, and azaleas, but it
could create flooding issues that would affect the surrounding lots including the general store building.
Please consider the preservation of the historically beloved general store lot in its entirety. I truly
appreciate your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Meg Courtney
806 S. Main Street.
