Brunning Ms. Sara Deitch, Board of Trustees, The Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation, spoke on behalf of the Foundation. The Oyster Union Society purchased the Chaplin family home in 1921. The structure was dismantled and reassembled at its current site on Hinson White Road. The Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation purchased the deteriorated building in 2002 and completed the stabilization and restoration in 2012, using locally‐milled lumber. The Foundation is interested Page 1 in restoring the building to its original appearance by adding a reproduction of the original porch, using corrugated metal roofing, brick support piers, and porch and step handrails. Old and new photographs of the existing structure and sketches of the proposed porch addition were distributed. Staff Recommendation: Beaufort County Community Development Staff recommend approval. Ms. Sally Murphy made a motion, seconded by Ms. Kathryn Mixon, to approve the proposed porch addition. There was unanimous approval from the Board members present. OLD BUSINESS / OTHER BUSINESS: There was none. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, Chairman Hefter adjourned the meeting at 1:51 p.m. Page 2 Dataw Island Pickleball Courts Applicant: Dataw Island Club Designer: Daniel Keefer, Witmer Jones Keefer Location: Located near the Dataw Island Clubhouse in proximity to the Sams Plantation Ruins Zoning Designation: Existing Planned Unit Development The Dataw Island Club is proposing to construct 4 pickleball courts in proximity to the Clubhouse between the existing tennis courts and the 9th green of the Morgan River Golf Course. The site is also in proximity to the William Sams Plantation House Complex which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. When Dataw Island was developed, a Memorandum of Agreement (see attached) was signed by Alcoa which outlined protections to historic properties located on the site. Specific to the Sams Plantation site, the MOA states the following: A. “The William Sams Plantation House Complex will be recorded prior to any project development activities that could affect the complex, through architectural mapping and photographic recording The Historic American Building Survey (HABS) will be contacted to determine what documentation is required. Copies of all documentation will be provided to the South Carolina SHPO and the Historic Beaufort Foundation. B. A plan will be developed, in consultation with the South Carolina SHPO and the Council, for the archeological testing of the complex and the stabilization, preservation, and interpretive development of its remains within the overall context of the development plan for Datha Island. The archeological testing plan will be sufficient to identify the complex, its remains and historic activity areas, and to recover samples of artifactual material for display and interpretation purposes (also see Stipulation IV below).” In addition to the MOA, boundaries of the Sams Plantation Ruins were delineated (see attached). These boundaries take in the tabby ruins of the house, well, outbuildings and the family cemetery. Dataw Island has directed development away from the site, stabilized the tabby ruins, and constructed an interpretive center. The island has a very active historic society that oversees the site. Along the southern boundary of the historic site, the Dataw Island Club constructed several tennis courts which are enclosed by 10 foot high fences. The proposed pickleball courts would be located on the other side of the tennis courts from the historic site. Staff contacted the SC Department of Archives and History for their guidance on the potential impacts of this proposed development. They were able to supply us with the MOA and the site boundaries. They also were able to determine that it was highly unlikely for the proposed development to endanger the National Register listing of the Sams Plantation ruins. Delisting has only occurred when historic sites are either destroyed or altered beyond recognition. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval. Visually, the proposed pickleball courts will not impact the historic site due screening by existing vegetation and the existing tennis courts that are enclosed by 10 foot high fences. Additionally the proposed site is located outside of the archaeological site boundaries. Attachments: 1. Proposed Site Plan 2. Memorandum of Understanding 3.
