Coffey said she has paid about $5,000 to pump out a crawl space and \"a little over $23,000\" in repairs after flood damage to flooring and subfloors. She said the flooding has recurred and described contacting several city and state offices, including Public Works, the Department of Transportation (she referred to a Mr. Black), and a permit manager identified only as Don in Monk's Corner. Coffey praised James Hall, a Public Works staff engineer, as the only local staffer who has consistently visited and assisted but said Hall cannot solve the problem alone.

Coffey said she provided inspections and permit information to city staff but told council no permanent solution has been implemented and that the covered storm drainage ditch remains blocked. She told the council, \"I mean, how many more floors do we have to put in out of our own pocket? That's not right. I mean, we're retired,\" and later said the cost impact equates to \"Dollars $25,000 every 2 years.\"

Council members and staff asked whether Public Works had advice that evening; the meeting record notes city staff were present, but the transcript does not record a specific solution or motion directing immediate remedial action. The comments were recorded as public testimony; no formal action was taken during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-05-08 North Charleston City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","A long‑time resident told council that land clearing at the Magnolia Point subdivision has caused recurring flooding at her home, causing tens of thousands in out‑of‑pocket repairs and repeated damage; she said multiple city and state staff were contacted but problems persist.","taxTitle","North Charleston City, Dorchester County, South Carolina","taxId",54775,"location","South Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6062642,"Council refers Attaway Street parcels for rezoning consideration",70,376000,446000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3276027-1204b39c18733542d94a480b4d66f5d4&start=376&end=446","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3276027-1204b39c18733542d94a480b4d66f5d4/thumbnail_376000.jpg","/articles/6062642/South-Carolina/Council-refers-Attaway-Street-parcels-for-rezoning-consideration","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6062642-b0c1c02ab2ba811c98119af7e0de1cb5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771155975&Signature=JVhVWFrk8yDZjh1tIj6Qi0t9HRofIwogQsMmAxmPI8BCml2CQBJOjvLCx2792jBegdYQDiwzZvKYtuuULkCYx-ZkKGV~zvGPDTqx5NoUH5VYJJIxjiQ6tC~FBI9eo7aBR7ipbP1gGlqO-LX8DcR-Q7DluAjP75rrTaBWBXgJzTpvxZ8Kz~aSuEXTLf97C8Xa5NBl1quDBP2lk9Fw8feXUneFSpP6Q-b4xWWPLtNdfppyKU13My1tOB2RiojIjXfA1rSiHVN8BpqR6m34qdxW8AAz5YbEx6eRM269CeHBGqsz1xCa8UpRH5Iku8hkU7gplP24tBEGI8TLsbwWuDeLcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City planning staff presented a first‑reading ordinance to rezone two adjacent parcels—listed as 5523 and 5525 Attaway (Adderway) Street, Charleston County TMS numbers 47314 Parcel 81 and 47314 Parcel 80—from R1 single‑family to R2 multifamily zoning in Council District 8.

Staff showed maps indicating the parcels' location near the intersection of Attaway and Sumner, described surrounding zoning that includes limited business and some existing R2 multifamily, and noted that the city's future land‑use map designates the area as traditional neighborhood development.

Without objection, the council referred the item to the Public Safety Committee for further review and consideration; no final vote on rezoning was taken at the meeting.

Staff explained the parcels lie near the planned LCRT Bus Rapid Transit station and are designated as \"traditional neighborhood development\" in the comprehensive plan and within a mixed‑use corridor for Dorchester Road.

Without objection from council members, the item was referred to the Public Safety Committee for further review and consideration; no vote on final rezoning was taken at the meeting. No members of the public offered testimony on the item during the council meeting record.

The record did not include proposed density, unit counts, specific developer plans, or fiscal impacts.

City staff confirmed the project will be funded from the off‑base tax increment financing (TIF) district. Adam McConnell, a city staff member, told Councilman Skipper, \"I can confirm those funds will come from the off base TIF.\" The council then voted by roll call and recorded unanimous approval.

After the vote, Sean Lieber Knight, co‑founder of Park Circle Skate, thanked Mayor Burgess, council members and city staff for moving the project forward and noted community and police‑department support for programming tied to the park. \"When [my daughters] asked to learn how to skateboard, there wasn't anywhere safe or legal to take them in our city,\" Lieber Knight said, calling the project \"about creating a space where people feel welcomed, supported, and seen.\"

Council discussion at the meeting focused on confirming the financing source; no amendments or alternate funding structures were proposed on the record. The motion passed with aye votes from council members present.

The council did not provide a construction timeline or completion date during the meeting; Park Circle Skate and city staff were the only parties to speak publicly in favor of the award at the meeting.","The council approved a $1.1 million design-build award to Platform Group LLC for a skate park at JV Morris Complex, funded from the off‑base TIF; local organizers publicly thanked the mayor and council.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6062657,"North Charleston council approves $2.04 million property purchase",21,339000,360000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3276027-1204b39c18733542d94a480b4d66f5d4&start=339&end=360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3276027-1204b39c18733542d94a480b4d66f5d4/thumbnail_339000.jpg","/articles/6062657/South-Carolina/North-Charleston-council-approves-204-million-property-purchase","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6062657-82463e32724c52f0d1816554c2653478/orig.mp4?Expires=1771155975&Signature=arrxrN6VWcm3mTZ11vZYRGzqoMdgrxoJIvQ1WV7sQgmB5HVbA1xmNMEvolOnCP3fe4eHDguhrowz0e5xns0tQNp85V7UwnnWaHqGzh-MvqKDMIALN-gPTw64S0zWWo2ffEtoQmapxqyaA9A~imH~a8VuBrF~2WjLvDZHRiS8zvxqTswzMKWryiWWprvSl7eyI-rl6a5F6uzm0todJJ1xN5W1b1UUfKvYzDU~ZTIt~1k2p8cOQ1UnemWL7wNocc~QvOGF8BVX5FfRrMD6RBFk6GMFQD6SUMWvqGqGM6Q8TIlkriPd3j6F2Dpu7WXRq4DA3kBx9EIoyKhO2Mr1QVk07A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Charleston City Council voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to execute a purchase-and-sale agreement for property identified as Charleston County TMS number 41109 Parcel 1 at an appraised value of $2,040,000.
