WHAT A DIFFERENCE DESIGN MAKES: CHARLESTON VS. CANE BAY

he term “design” has an insubstantial quality about it. You draw designs on a notepad in a T boring meeting. People who want to make a splash at the Academy Awards wear designer clothes. “Intelligent” design is not really intelligent. Urban design could convey the same lack of seriousness – street trees, a fountain in the park, banners hanging from period lamp posts – all nice but not essential. The Coastal Conservation League’s view, which we’ve promoted for the past 25 years, is exactly the opposite. Urban design will determine whether cities survive and flourish or sink under an un- bearable weight of expense, traffic congestion and pollution. Unfortunately – even catastrophically – local governments, and specifically local planning departments and planning commissions, often times don’t understand or apply even the simplest principles necessary to ensure that development is

functional, sustainable, and inspiring. Earth Google Let’s start with the most basic and, arguably, Charleston the most important design element – the street system. As long as cities have existed on this earth, they have had some version of a street grid. This is not just a convention. It is a functional necessity because a grid of streets is demonstrably the most efficient organizational pattern for urban settle- ment. Getting from home to school, from the office to the store, from city hall to the gym, or virtually any point A to any point B, can be done more quick- ly, in a shorter distance, on foot, bicycle, bus, or car, on a grid. This is a geometric fact. Grids vary across the world, from Hong Kong to Athens, from London to San Francisco, from Beau- fort to Savannah. But the unifying principle is that each has a dense, connected network of streets made up of small blocks. Traffic distributes itself across the grid, minimizing congestion. When land uses are blended together, as they are in all tradi- tional cities and towns, it is possible to get around

on foot or on a bicycle, because travel distances are Earth Google short. To the right are two examples: Charleston Beaufort and Beaufort.

SPRING 2015 | COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE 3 “All of this adds up to an entirely predictable future for this part of the region – massive gridlock, a constant clamor for wider roads, calls for higher taxes to build and maintain those roads, chronically unsafe conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians, and minimal potential for any form of public transit serving the residents.”

4 COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE | SPRING 2015 or the last 25 years, the Conservation League has been the leading voice representing the public interest on Lowcountry F environmental issues. In collaboration with communities along the coast, the Conservation League has held developers and legislators accountable for actions that impact the environment. Unfortunately, special interests are using our success to justify one of the biggest attacks on environmental regulatory protections in recent history. The roster of regulatory bills in the state legislature this session, which extends through next year, is aimed almost exclusively at absolv- ing industries and developers from public accountability for the environ- mental consequences of their actions. 1 The Market at Cane Bay 2 Cane Bay High School 3 Cane Bay Middle School Holding Polluters Accountable 4 Cane Bay Elementary School Case in point: Senate bill S.229, dubbed by conservationists as the 5 Palmetto Walk 6 Old Rice Retreat “Polluter Amnesty Bill,” would weaken the Pollution Control Act by 7 Magnolia removing citizens’ rights to legally contest unpermitted, past pollution. 8 Sanctuary Cove This legislation would further prohibit the ability of affected communi- 9 The Oaks 10 Lindera Preserve ties to hold polluting entities accountable and would provide amnesty 11 Charleston Atlantic Presbytery from legal recourse for past pollution, as in the case of leaking coal ash 12 The Hammocks ponds and radioactive waste pools. 13 YMCA 14 Del Webb 15 Mungo Homes 16 The Coves at Lakes of Cane Bay 17 K. Hovnanian’s Four Seasons LET THE PEOPLESPEAK

PROTECTING THE AUTOMATIC STAY Next on the docket is S.165, an attack on the “automatic stay,” which is a legal mechanism intended to prevent irreversible and permanent damage to our state’s natural resources. The automatic stay temporarily halts work on a contested project until the Administrative Law Court has heard all of the facts and analyzed the situation to ensure that the initial decision to issue a permit was well-founded and in keeping with state law. Without the automatic stay, destruction can take place unabated until legal proceedings are complete. The automatic stay has prevented great harm in the past, including helping to save Angel Oak on Johns Island. Developers had planned high-density apartment buildings and businesses surrounding Angel Oak, a live oak tree that is thought to be several hundred years old. The Conservation League and Save the Angel Oak challenged the permits issued to fill wetlands where the develop- ment was to occur. The automatic stay ensured that development and construction stopped, preventing irreparable harm to the beloved oak. The delay also allowed time to negotiate a settlement to safeguard the long-term health of Angel Oak and by permanently protecting 36 acres surrounding the ancient tree.

Eliminating this system of “checks and balances” at DHEC will lead to envi- ronmentally devastating decisions. The Conservation League and our allies are opposing these legislative threats that would strip citizens of their right to oppose unsound environ- mental degradation. On April 15th, more than one hundred supporters arrived in Columbia wearing “I Love the Coast” stickers for the annual Conser- vation Lobby Day. Supporters spent the day talking to their legislators about the importance of stand- ing up for our state’s natural resources. Because many of the bills referenced above face substantial opposition, we are hopeful that they will not pass this year.

nsung heroes. That’s how HarrietWilliams describes Victor and Marjorie Morawetz, philan- thropists from the first half of the twentieth century whose gifts to the Lowcountry live on today. Williams seeks to honor the Morawetzes’ legacy, ensuring that future generations can appreciate their many contribu- tions to the Charleston area. Recently Williams made a generous gift to the Coastal Conservation League in memory of Victor and Marjorie Morawetz. “When I sold my house at 1 Tradd Street, I wanted to be sure that one-third of the pro- ceeds stayed in Charleston,” Williams explained about her decision to give to the Conservation League. “It is because Charleston has prospered and grown that the house had a high value.” Photo credit: Grange Simons “I have a lot of admiration for Dana Beach,” she says about the Conservation League’s executive director. “He’s pugnacious enough to keep going and keep Uprotecting more special places.” Jonathan Boncek Jonathan

SPRING 2015 | COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE 9 Dana Beach MEETING THE MORAWETZES

ictor Morawetz was one of the highest profile corporate attorneys of the early 20th century. A Baltimore native, Morawetz built his Vpractice in New York City. Among his clients were numerous railroads, J.P. Morgan & Company, and U.S. Steel. He authored many influential legal texts, including the foremost treatise on corporate law at the time. He was frequently quoted on legal matters in the New York Times, perhaps most famously for his opposition to the 16th Amendment, which estab- lished the authority of Congress to levy a federal income tax.

During those summers, Seabrook was completely undeveloped with the exception of the hunt club and a few shacks. “The hunt club was so large that they played badminton matches in the central room,” remembers Williams. The island had no electricity, and with no grocery stores nearby, Williams and her family and friends often feasted on fresh seafood they caught themselves. “Wearing our ancient crabbing shoes and oldest clothes, at low tide each day we ventured into Captain Sams Creek and caught shrimp and crab. The tide table was our bible,” says Williams. “Those were wonderful summer ex- periences. The Morawetzes were very special people.”

SPRING 2015 | COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE 19 WHY I SUPPORT THE COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE by Nick Ceva 7th Grader, Cario Middle School

ur vision for the Charleston area is a future in future demand for energy while providing a plethora “ which our population is healthy and active O and has access to clean air and water and a strong and thriving local economy. We have taken giant steps in this direction and we will get there with your help.” This vision began for Coastal Conservation League in 1989 when they opened their headquarters in Charleston. I feel that the Lowcoun- try community will benefit most from 7th graders at Thomas Cario Middle School supporting Coastal Conservation League because they are working to make Charleston a healthier place to live, and they do this through the various programs they have in place, and citizens can help by volunteering and becoming a member. Coastal Conservation League is working to make Charleston a healthier place to live. CCL is helping to make our air and water cleaner by campaigning for the use of trains instead of diesel trucks and working to convince the shipping industry to use cleaner fuels in their ships and tugs. They are also monitoring all air and water discharge permits along the coast and questioning permits that would result in harm to the environment. Charleston County received a “C” rating from the American Lung Association due to its harmful particulate and ozone levels. This shows how important it is for us to support CCL in their efforts to clean up our environment.
