Coffey said the flooding forced a pump‑out of her crawl space that cost $5,000 and that she and her husband have spent \"a little over $23,000\" repairing damaged flooring and subfloors.

Coffey said she has contacted multiple city departments and public agencies about the drainage problem and described repeated visits by James Hall, a city public works staff engineer. She said a city official (Mr. Black) had promised installation of a box to catch runoff but that no work has been done: \"That was almost 3 years ago, and nothing's been done. Not a thing.\" Coffey also said she contacted a permit manager in Munk's Corner who told her he does not cover stormwater drainage ditches and was unable to help.

At the meeting, council asked whether public works staff were present; members noted they had heard from Coffey previously and encouraged follow‑up. No council action or vote on remedial work was taken at the meeting; Coffey urged further investigation and relief for homeowners.

The resident asked the council to consider city assistance for repair costs and drainage mitigation. City staff present were not recorded making a specific remedial commitment during the public comment segment.","A resident told council her home on Otranto Road has flooded repeatedly since nearby Magnolia Point development began and said she has spent more than $23,000 repairing damage; she described ongoing contact with public works and other agencies and urged city intervention.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6536732,"Council refers rezoning proposals for Attaway and Dorchester Road properties to Public Safety Committee",267,357000,624000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3705505-767acc09a4f507ff916c31af8414567c&start=357&end=624","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3705505-767acc09a4f507ff916c31af8414567c/thumbnail_357000.jpg","/articles/6536732/South-Carolina/Council-refers-rezoning-proposals-for-Attaway-and-Dorchester-Road-properties-to-Public-Safety-Committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536732-df87aeeedd51866532567d86bc7f1a5a/orig.mp4?Expires=1773643305&Signature=E13qovKZStyENE-zglJ8c~0F~ZAzXrYx~~Eh5Y6ZkmKnj7pKQzj-tMoXPMRoCbTzKvsmSprtYobLm58hFemJwD38j-GA7oCY9KnS6C6B20-6A7gvhJ5MpihY8gIVhFbOGuXUaPt-bbCRzkxiN~MXZsNmdE1c6t9~YyOc6dMDkXBLZPcPC3c8zQrGZJPO-pN8OWnKcXlDnWf4R0YMzhUQMzIFKy0XmmOqUaICd16Gi-pbvFn5fZ5uLICRQ1pi0sdTh8yMHKIzO-G5IFqWY8qaJrZVpgT7TkhhTGOkUdsX7ncNjW3AdZAUtcOI8vXSfqlWTIFexyZpkF~HMdZTdsvE8g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Two rezoning items were presented at the May 2025 North Charleston City Council meeting and were referred to the Public Safety Committee for further review.

The first item would rezone 5523 and 5525 Attaway Street (Charleston County TMS 47314 Parcels 81 and 80) from R‑1 single‑family to R‑2 multifamily in Council District 8. City planning staff said the properties are vacant, lie near the intersection of Attaway and Sumner, and are adjacent to limited business (B‑1) and some R‑2 uses. Staff noted the comprehensive plan’s future land use map designates the parcels as ‘‘traditional neighborhood development,’’ which supports mixed residential types. Planning staff reported the Planning Commission recommended approval.

A second rezoning presentation covered property addressed as 2132 Dorchester Road (Charleston County TMS 46906 Parcel 609) and an unaddressed parcel (TMS 46906 Parcel 602). Staff described the parcels as currently zoned B‑1 limited business and R‑1 single‑family and recommended rezoning both to R‑2 multifamily, noting proximity to a future rapid transit corridor and mixed‑use designations on the city’s comprehensive plan. Planning Commission also recommended approval of that request.

Council made no final zoning decisions at the meeting; both first‑reading items were referred without objection to the Public Safety Committee for further review and public hearing follow‑up.","First‑reading rezoning requests for 5523–5525 Attaway Street and for parcels on Dorchester Road were presented; staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval and both items were referred to the Public Safety Committee for further review.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6536737,"North Charleston awards $1.1 million design contract for JV Morris skate park; funds come from Noisette TIF",663,642000,1305000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3705505-767acc09a4f507ff916c31af8414567c&start=642&end=1305","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3705505-767acc09a4f507ff916c31af8414567c/thumbnail_642000.jpg","/articles/6536737/South-Carolina/North-Charleston-awards-11-million-design-contract-for-JV-Morris-skate-park-funds-come-from-Noisette-TIF","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536737-d95c7d6ae1a456187a7d8672e725dbe8/orig.mp4?Expires=1773643305&Signature=TpEpevTPi7KlofF2EI2hHHBxp54kECM5mC5cJOGYnAtezp2vDjITEblghUk4vsWusbOY1STt2YHkaBQNkSZiG7E9JhYgs03gyomEr9xoH-~dqVZMy4RlOqnO8wSu0CFSMO-ID1sFgHr42NbdpG1rusyvd0MaZs4719VCacNNHKsM4LtaSapRyTIRlo6iq7FmVznFd1PyK5YJpAjGF7US2Iz7hJb8kDm4YpcBg-WB9EHnypAFGPkpFECHudIF49gm6LZujfin-pSGGCO05zZrONXVyCkl~VI-32ioKvOqQPXiB7Jy5OnAHhCDVL~W0jjPC8d8infWYwEK1aS5tWhm1g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","North Charleston City Council on first reading approved a $1,100,000 award to Platform Group (Lehi, with Tampa offices) to design a skate park at the JV Morris Complex.

City staff and council members said the project will use residual tax increment financing from the Noisette off‑base TIF. Councilman Skipper asked for confirmation of the funding source: \"I would like confirmation that the funds for this park are coming out of the Noisette TIF,\" and a city staff member, identified in the meeting as Adam McConnell, replied, \"I can confirm those funds will come from the off base TIF.\" McConnell added these are the same funds used to develop the Park Circle Complex and that residual funds remain to pay for this final project.

Community members who helped organize support for a skate facility also spoke during public comment. Sean Lieberknight, a Park Circle Skate cofounder, thanked the mayor and council and described the project's community goals: \"At its core, this project has been about creating a space where people feel welcomed, supported, and seen.\" Lieberknight said the skate park was prompted in part because \"when [my daughters] asked to learn how to skateboard, there wasn't anywhere safe or legal to take them in our city.\" He credited police sponsorship of an initial clinic and volunteer organizers for moving the effort from idea to reality.

The council held a roll call and recorded unanimous approval to award the contract. Council discussion focused on funding source confirmation rather than design specifics. The council referred no additional conditions at the time of the vote; staff indicated project scoping and design will continue under the awarded contract.

The design award follows earlier community outreach and internal city coordination; the city did not provide a construction timeline at the meeting.","City council approved a $1.1 million contract to Platform Group (Lehi/Tampa) to design a skate park at the JV Morris Complex, with council and staff confirming the money will come from the Noisette (off‑base) TIF.","actionData","errors"]
