MANY ASPECTS. MR. COOPER SUGGESTED THAT WE OFFER INCENTIVES
FOR PROPERTIES TO ANNEX SUCH AS, POLICE PROTECTION AND

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
SPECIAL MEETING OF 1-26-94 PAGE TWO
MR. COOPER.REPLIED ONLY THE ENCLAVES AND PROPERTY WEST'OF
TOWN.
MR. BARNES QUESTIONED WHAT WOULD IT COST THE CiTY TO ANNEX
ALL OF THE PROPERTIES?
'QR. COOPER DIDN'T KNOW OFF HAND~BUT STATED ANNEXING ~HEM IN
WOULDN'T BE THE COSTLY PART, PROVIDING THE SERVICES-WOULD BE.
AN URBAN STUDY WOULD BE DONE TO DETERMINE WHAT VACANT AND
POTENTIAL LANDS ARE THERE, FUTURE GROWTH AND WHAT IS ACTUALLY
DEVELOPED AND HOW WOULD WE PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES TO THEM.
MR.-BARNES EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT ANNEXING PROPERTIES THAT
UTILITIES AREN'T PLANNING ON SERVICING.
CHAIRMAN THOMPSON SUGGESTED PRIORITY ONE SHOULD BE ENCLAVES.
MR. SHROYER 'SUGGESTED STARTING FROM THE NORTH END OF THE CITY
LIMITS AND WORK DOWNWARD.
MR. TORPY ADVISED ON THE LEGALITIES OF OFFERING TAX
iNCENTIVES FOR ANNEXING INTO'THE CITY. MR. TORPY STATED THE
ISSUE WOULD BE USING PUBLIC FUNDING TO FURTHER PRIVATE
ENDEAVORS AND TO BE CAUTIOUS OF' THAT.
MR. FALKE FEELS WE'RE PREMATURE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE WE
DO NOT HAVE MUCH TO OFFER AT THIS-POINT.
MR. SHROYER STATED POSSIBLY A TAX BREAK FOR 5 OR 6 YEARS.
P & Z COMMISSIONERS SPOKE AT LENGTH ABOUT THE MANY
PERSPECTIVE AREAS TO ANNEX.
MR. COOPER SUGGESTED DEVELOPING A MAP BASED UPON WHAT WE HAVE

CHAIRMAN THOMPSON ASKED IF IT WAS THE CONSENSUS OF THE
COMMiSSI~ON TO INCLUDE THE SCHUMANN DRIVE EAST AREAS.
MR. SHROYER SUGGESTED JOHN'S ISLAND.~'GOLF CLUB WEST, BUT FEELS
ANYTHING EAST OF SCHUMANN DRIVE WOULD NOT BE TO THE BEST
iNTEREST OF THE CITY EXCEPT NORTH O.F JOHN'S ISLAND GOLF CLUB.

NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES
MR. TORPY STARTED' BY SAYING THAT FROM A CONSTI'TUTIONAL
STANDPOINT YOU CAN'T COME OUT WITH AN ORDINANCE THAT SIMPLY
SAYS YOU CANNOT OWN "X" AMOUNT OF.-CARS PERIOD. THAT'S A
LIMITATION OF SOMEONES RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE AND OWN PROPERTY.
MR, TORPY SUGGESTED AN ORDINANCE THAT LIMITS WHERE AND ~
VEHICLES ARE PLACED:, AS OPPOSED TO HOW MANY YOU HAVE.
HE ALSO STATED THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING VEHICLES THAT DO NOT
FIT WITHIN THE JUNK VEHICLE ORDINANCE, BUT VEHICLES THAT ARE
FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
MR. BARNES WONDERED ABOUT REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE.
MR. COOPER RESPONDED THAT IF THE TAG IS NOT ON THE VEHI'CLE,
1T CAN BE CHECKED OUT BUT, IF IT'S STILL OPERABLE THE FACT
THAT THE TAG IS NOT ON THE CAR IS NOT SUFFICIENT.
MR. SHROYER SUGGESTED RESTRICTING THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES
~~-bS~B~ TO PARK ON"THE GRASS, ALSO 30% COVERAGE RESTRICTION
FROM THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND POSSIBLY USING THESE.TWO
ITEMS IN CONJUNCTION.
MR. TORPY REMINDED THE COMMISSIONERS THAT ENFORCING A JUNK'
VEHICLE ORDINANCE IS DIFFICULT~ TO ENFORCE AN ORDIN~NCE~THAT
REGULATES THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES A PERSON HAS WILL BE JUST AS
DIFFICULT, IF NOT MORE. MR. TORPY SUGGESTED DRAFTING~AN
ORDINANCE THAT WOULD REGULATE MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF PARKING
SITUATION AND TO CREATE RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE RELATED TO
ESTHETICS AND PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY ISSUES.
MR. TORPY FEELS IF THIS A COMMUNITY WIDE PROBLEM THI~ NEEDS
TO BE ADDRESSED BUT, IF IT'S AN iSOLATED INCIDENT THERE.NEEDS
TO BE MORE OF A CREATIVE WAY TO ENFORCE THE PROBLEM~
MR. COOPER STATED THAT UNDER CURRENT CODES THERE IS NO OTHER.
WAY TO ENFORCE THE PROBLEM, AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS
'OPERABLE.
MR. FISCHER FEELS THAT IT IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
MR. SHROYER AGREED.
MR. BARNES AGREED, BUT FEELS AS THE CITY GROWS SO WILL THE
PROBLEM.
