Committee defers Ladies Island corridor application to Oct. 16 for county input

Staff described the RLC properties corridor-protection parcel on Ladies Island and noted the application is a typical corridor submission with waterfront frontage and high visibility. Because the applicant or agent did not attend, the committee discussed whether county council would want to take fee-simple ownership and whether other land trusts might be partners.

Chair Mike McShane and members agreed it was appropriate for staff to talk with county colleagues and return with the county’s interest before forwarding the project to council. The committee voted to defer consideration to its October meeting (Oct. 16) so staff could gather more information; members stressed the importance of having the county’s preference on ownership confirmed before initiating due diligence.
