The Planning Commission decided not to vote--for now--on whether to recommend changing Sullivan's Island zoning ordinances to allow stand-alone recreation structures on single-family properties. Instead, the Commission decided to appoint an ad hoc committee to meet to discuss the issue further, and report back to the Planning Commission. Another Public Hearing may be scheduled for August.Below is the link to the Planning Commission report about the issue from its June meeting. A copy of the report is also attached. Note in particular the comments by the East Cooper Land Trust. East Cooper Land Trust is the entity working with Chad Waldorf, one of the owners of 3117 Marshall Boulevard. The owners want to have a conservation easement placed on the lot, remove the single-family home that is there now and construct a recreation structure for their personal use.
Catherine Main, Executive Director of East Cooper Land Trust, spoke in support of the zoning change. Ms. Main states that she would like to see the Town be lenient with its restrictions to incentivize other Island property owners to follow Mr. Waldorf’s lead.
Contact Town Council and the Planning Commission and let the members know what you think about this proposed change to Sullivan's Island's zoning code.
