Bucey, Resource & Land Consultants, LLC, agent for Kenneth W. Lowe, Kenneth W. Lowe Revocable Trust, applicant and owner Name of Project 106 E. 18th Street Conditional Use Permit Property Address 106 E. 18th Street, Sea Island Parcel ID 05-00792 Area of Property 0.75 acre Existing Zoning R-12, R-9, and Beach and Dune Protection District Existing Land Use Residential Proposed Land Use Residential Comp Plan – Future Land Use Medium Density Residential GENERAL INFORMATION: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for the installation of an underground stormwater storage system, landscaping, retaining walls, and steps seaward of the development setback line established by the Board of Commissioners pursuant to Zoning Ordinance, Section 727, Beach and Dune Protection District. On June 4, 2020, the Board of Commissioners established the development setback as 40 feet landward of the toe of the most landward stable dune. The property is zoned R-12, R-9, and Beach and Dune Protection District. REVISION TO PLAN: The applicant submitted a revised plan on July 30, 2020, reflecting changes requested by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR). The revised plan is included in the attachments to this report, and the changes from the iteration presented to the IPC on July 21, 2020, are as follows: 1. Shaded the area of the proposed underground stormwater storage tanks within GADNR Shore Protection Act (SPA) jurisdiction 2. Removed labels from the base layer survey that referenced notes from said survey 3. Slightly modified the measurements of the retaining walls to match the total area within SPA jurisdiction of 64.4 sq. ft. (the measurements were revised by only ½” in width of wall, and 3/8” or less on the length) Noticing: A public hearing notice was published in The Brunswick News on July 21, 2020, notice was mailed to property owners within 200 feet on July 21, 2020, and the property was posted on July 21, 2020. BEACH AND DUNE PROTECTION DISTRICT Glynn County Zoning Ordinance Section 727, Beach and Dune Protection District, applies to this property. According to this section, certain types of uses seaward of the development setback line require a conditional use permit. The proposed landscaping, retaining wall, steps, and underground stormwater storage system are seaward of the development setback line as set forth in Zoning Ordinance Section 727, “Beach and Dune Protection District”. These improvements require a conditional use permit. In accordance with Section 727, staff notes the following: The subject property is located within “Area A (with dunes),” according to the survey. Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR) provided a jurisdictional determination as authorized through the Shore Protection Act (SPA) on April 24, 2020. FINDINGS: In conformance with Section 727.5 of the Glynn County Zoning Ordinance, the following uses may be permitted seaward of the Development Setback Line on a conditional basis provided that the applicant demonstrates that the proposed use will have no significant adverse environmental effects, such as increasing the potential for beach erosion, interference with existing established dune sequence, and increasing the exposure of inland properties to wind, water or wave damage. 1) Seawalls, jetties, bulkheads, revetments, groins, breakwaters, pervious streets, utility lines, swimming pools, decks, boardwalks, fences, storm drain systems, and beach crosswalks and crossovers; 2) Beach nourishment and renourishment, dune enhancement, sand management, and native landscaping; and, 3) No development, grading, filling or other land alteration shall occur seaward of the Development Setback Line other than permitted uses under Section 727.4, 727.8, 727.9, and those conditional uses listed and approved above in this Section 727.5. Staff Comments: The proposed work falls under #1 “… boardwalks, fences, storm drain systems…” and #2 “…native landscaping….” The lawn and plants shown seaward of the County’s setback line will be native species in accordance with the ordinance. The owner’s landscape architect stated that the grass will be seashore paspalum, and the plants will be spartina. CUP4381 106 E. 18th Street, Sea Island Staff Report 2 8/06/2020 BOC The GADNR SPA line is 25 feet from the landward toe of the dune, and the County is more restrictive at 40 feet. The requested improvements are within the list of conditionally permitted uses, and they encompass approximately 30-35 feet of the 40 foot setback. In conformance with Section 904.3 of the Glynn County Zoning Ordinance, the following factors are to be considered in making a decision on a request for a conditional use permit: (Staff comment is shown in bold) 1. The effect the proposed activity will have on traffic flow along adjoining streets; Not applicable. 2. The location of off-street parking facilities; Not applicable. 3. The number, size and types of signs proposed for the site; Not applicable. 4. The amount and location of open space; Not applicable. 5. Protective screening; Not applicable. 6.

As such it is concerned with a historic problem ir pci tial :hearv, i.e., how to visualize a perfect human community. Since the turn of the 20th century, we have seen a decline in utopian ~i tera.ture. A variety of commentators, including Mannhein: and Mumford, noted and decried this trend. It seemed ironic to those observers that utopia~s demise would occur when humanity was closest to realizing material abundance for all. My research evaluates this irony. The primary data of my work are drawn from the genre of science fiction. The new locus for utopian thought seems natural enough. Science fiction is a speculative activity and, in its emphasis on science and technology, concerns itself with an area of human activity that has been intimately connected with the idea of progress since the European Enlightenment. A number of scholars including Mumford, Sargent, Suvin, and Williams, have asserted that contemporary utopian thought could be found in science fiction.

Sullivan, Trinity University While the green blur alongside the pavement or off in the distance barely registers in many of the high-velocity, petroleum-fed narrative road-trips of the Anthropocene, that out-of- focus greenery is the actual driver of the action. These stories depend on the tarry brown-black vegetative energy that was originally green, but then is transformed repeatedly from photosynthesized sunlight into plant sugar, rotting organics into fossil fuel, and then into petroleum. That is, while petroleum is certainly “dark” in terms of its environmental impact, it is also technically “green,” at least when we consider its origins as a hydrocarbon substance formed in long-term processes over millions of years when phytoplankton (plants) and zooplankton (animals) fell to the bottom of the sea, mixed with ocean sediments, and slowly rotted while under high pressure, eventually taking a new form deep below the ocean.

  • The Poison of Misinformation: Analyzing the Use of Science in Science Fiction Novels, in · Original Short Story
    THE POISON OF MISINFORMATION: ANALYZING THE USE OF SCIENCE IN SCIENCE FICTION NOVELS, INCLUDING AN ORIGINAL SHORT STORY By CLARA DAWN PIAZZOLA A THESIS Presented to the Department of Biology and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science December 2015 An Abstract of the Thesis of Clara Dawn Piazzola for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the Department of Biology to be taken December 2015 Title: The Poison of Misinformation: Analyzing the use of science in science fiction novels, in · original short story The purpose of this thesis was to read a variety of science fiction novels and understand how the science progresses each novel. For the novels Creature by Peter Benchley, The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton, Dune by Frank Herbert, and The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi, I considered the role of science in relation to plot and character development. For Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, I analyzed the creativity that the author used with science in addition to the role science played in the novel. For Jaws by Peter Benchley, I researched the accuracy of the science used and determined that the majority was accurate. With all of these analyses in mind, I created a template to guide authors in writing science fiction. Finally, I wrote my own science fiction short story, titled "Poison." ii Copyright Page This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

  • The Blackness of Liet-Kynes: Reading Frank Herbert's Dune Through
    religions Article The Blackness of Liet-Kynes: Reading Frank Herbert’s Dune Through James Cone Peter Herman Theology & Religious Studies, Marymount University, Arlington, VA 22207, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 August 2018; Accepted: 17 September 2018; Published: 18 September 2018 Abstract: Frank Herbert’s landmark science fiction novel Dune has received numerous sequels, prequels, and film treatments. Detailing the saga of humanity’s far future beyond our present solar system, the work plays successfully with religious, political, and ecological themes. This essay deals with the social/theological implications of two figures within the story-world of Dune: Its protagonist and visible hero, Paul Atreides/Muad’Dib and the lesser figure of the “Imperial Planetologist” Dr. Kynes, also known to the Fremen as “Liet”. By reading these two figures through the theology of James Cone, we discover that the obvious hero is not a messianic figure but a demonic one. Further, it is the lesser character of Liet-Kynes who actually fulfills the messianic role in Cone’s theological system. This essay is preceded by and makes use of Jeremy Ian Kirk’s work with the film Avatar that provides similar analysis. Where Kirk’s principal concern is with the ethical considerations of Avatar, this essay will more closely bear on Cone’s dynamic of redemption and conversion, specifically his notion of dying to white identity to be reborn in blackness. Keywords: theology; whiteness; black liberation; liberation theology; soteriology; salvation 1. Introduction Frank Herbert’s six Dune novels provide an amazing and detailed view of a possible future for the human race among the stars.1 The world-building in which he engaged spans thousands of years and billions of miles in his speculative future version of our known universe.2 Religion, specifically the often cynical manipulations of the Bene Geserit Sisterhood, plays a role in the narrative.

  • Sustainability and Speculative Fiction
    Walter Kalaidjian Department of English July 31, 2009 English 190: Sustainability and Speculative Fiction Prior to participating in the Piedmont Project seminar, my original class plan was to retool my contemporary literature course English 348 so as to have students explore fiction and poetry that presented environmental themes, deep ecology, sustainability issues and global awareness of climate change. I proposed a “mutually illuminating dialogue between ecocriticsm and environmental literature.” Many of the authors I had in mind—such as A. R. Ammons, Annie Dillard, Clayton Eshelman, Mary Oliver, Charles Olson, Adrienne Rich, Muriel Rukeyser, and Gary Snyder—are fairly well known for their advocacy of living in harmony with the natural world. Participating in the Piedmont seminar both confirmed and shifted my original agenda of engaging students with environmental issues through contemporary literature. The nature walks led by Eloise Carter gave me a new appreciation of the sensuous, vital, and pleasurable dimensions of paying closer attention to the biosphere. Our discussions facilitated by Nathaniel Smith led me to rethink the opportunities for creating sustainable community in Atlanta in terms of its rich traditions of ethnic, racial, and class differences. The presentation by Howard Frumkin— analyzing the blight of cul-de-sac suburban sprawl and the creative challenge of converting obsolete shopping centers and industrial hardscapes into mixed use and ecologically appropriate planned urban communities—struck me as truly innovative in reimagining future living and work spaces on the local, national, and global levels. Thus, beyond the agenda of environmental conservation that guided my original intent for the course, the seminar made me more aware of the dynamic changes that were possible, and indeed necessary, in rethinking the built environment, urban living space, and newer, more appropriate technologies.

  • Speculative Fictions for Understanding Global Change Environments: Two Thought Experiments
    Speculative Fictions for Understanding Global Change Environments: Two Thought Experiments Noel Gough The purpose of a thought experiment, as the term was used by quan- tum and relativity physicists in the early part of the twentieth century, was not prediction (as is the goal of classical experimental science), but more defensible representations of present ‘realities’. Speculative fic- tions, from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to the Star Wars cinema saga, can be read as sociotechnical thought experiments that produce alter- native representations of present circumstances and uncertainties, and anticipate and critique possible futures. In this essay I demonstrate how two examples of popular speculative fictions, Frank Herbert’s Dune ()andUrsulaLeGuin’sThe Telling (), function as thought ex- periments that problematise global transitions in their respective eras. I argue that critical readings of such stories can help us to anticipate, critique, and respond constructively to social and cultural changes and change environments within nation-states that constitute, and are con- stituted by, global change processes and their effects. Introduction My invitation to join the editorial board of this journal (and to con- tribute an article to its first volume) arrived just a few days after I had finished reading The Telling, a relatively new science fiction novel by Ur- sula Le Guin (). The Telling imagines some of the ways in which humans might respond to the forced homogenisation of culture on a planetary scale and I was immediately struck by its

  • Boundaries in Cyberpunk Fiction: William Gibson's Neuromancer Trilogy, Bruce Sterling's Schismatrix, and Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash
    BOUNDARIES IN CYBERPUNK FICTION: WILLIAM GIBSON'S NEUROMANCER TRILOGY, BRUCE STERLING'S SCHISMATRIX, AND NEAL STEPHENSON'S SNOW CRASH by Michelle Toerien Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Mr. R. Goodman March 2000 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration: I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety, or in any part, submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: Date: Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Cyberpunk literature explores the effects that developments in technology will have on the lives of individuals in the future. Technology is seen as having the potential to be of benefit to society, but it is also seen as a dangerous tool that can be used to severely limit humanity's freedom. Most of the characters in the texts I examine wish to perpetuate the boundaries that contain them in a desperate search for stability. Only a few individuals manage to move beyond the boundaries created by multinational corporations that use technology, drugs or religion for their own benefit. This thesis will provide a definition of cyberpunk and explore its development from science fiction and postmodern writing. The influence of postmodern thinking on cyberpunk literature can be seen in its move from stability to fluidity, and in its insistence on the impossibility of creating fixed boundaries. Cyberpunk does not see the future of humanity as stable, and argues that it will be necessary for humanity to move beyond the boundaries that contain it.
