Staff noted the property is on a flag lot of almost an acre, that the proposed house would have 25.15 percent impervious coverage, and that the nearest contributing resource (a 1935 house at 1495 Boston Grill Road) is roughly 560 feet away and would not have a sightline to the new structure. Staff recommended approval with the standard condition that major changes follow section 21‑5‑m.

Public comment included support from Craig Askew; no formal written opposition or support was recorded in the staff packet, though staff had received one general comment about trees and privacy. In the commission discussion several members said the house’s size and style were larger or different than many existing homes, while others said the property is remote on a flag lot and the design would not be visible from the right of way or contributing resources.

The vote resulted in a tie; under the commission’s rules a tie fails and the case was deferred to the next meeting so the applicant may revise the proposal or present again. The commission indicated it would bring the case back unchanged unless the applicant proposed changes; the applicant may also choose to resubmit revisions prior to the next hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","06/18/2025 - Historic Preservation Commission","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners deadlocked on a proposed 5,380‑square‑foot raised house with drive‑under parking at 1474 Boston Grill Road in the Hamlin Beach Community Historic District; the tie vote caused the application to be deferred under the commission’s rules.","taxTitle","Charleston County, South Carolina","taxId",3700,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6191463,"Commission approves elevated pool in Hamlin Beach Community, debates cultural impact",391,3266000,3657000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4724737-f24135dcbba4afcc1120492ea81b778b&start=3266&end=3657","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4724737-f24135dcbba4afcc1120492ea81b778b/thumbnail_3266000.jpg","/articles/6191463/Charleston-County/South-Carolina/Commission-approves-elevated-pool-in-Hamlin-Beach-Community-debates-cultural-impact","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191463-b1e9443336f8b3603140615a02089c7a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450796&Signature=JcjK2n3hhe4jjpv09cAFd8692oLcDWHUooV0r0ZrRPTda1wZDATmX-4znm7y3OzGMx-0W3z9X2u3hfaBRXTlzj~AKa2LPPJj5mO2aqPlrXqvLD3Mb03LmjnzUefNPx0d6wFWppwfJGjMiBx1w7DGTO-v8jT32HJ5whGqEE7DEF3f4WpEiSBTF4jHBLLZwp8azEO-6cY5KZQ2yh69fp~Ss-icHttxozfh1nf9SbESnrWIoXMSmc6IT12HE7K-dfyi0p6Yusi~QCWgr~F5yWNXQZsIgbJKhcRQgnowJlU7BTsYDTk2Ma7FisnEVN-wZ3BjB8sGdKHi6kf1HONdnPWyYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of historic appropriateness for a 528‑square‑foot elevated pool to be installed at 1653 Boston Grill Road in the Hamlin Beach Community Historic District after a contested discussion about cultural character and visibility.

Staff reported the pool would be located on the home’s rear deck, match the existing deck height, be one story in height, and “will not be visible from the street,” noting the nearest contributing resources (God’s Way Healing and Worship Center and Benjamin’s Sweet Shop) are more than a quarter mile away. The parcel is in Special Management S‑3 and the VE flood zone; staff recommended approval with the usual condition that major changes follow section 21‑5‑m of the historic preservation ordinance.

Commission discussion included concerns that elevated pools and elevated homes are uncommon and could affect the community’s historic character. Commissioner Michael German moved to deny on the basis that the pool would compromise district integrity; that motion failed. Other commissioners emphasized that pools are an allowed use and that the pool’s placement behind the house meant it would not be visible from contributing resources or the right of way.

With those findings, the commission later approved the application by majority vote (recorded as a passing motion after the earlier denial motion failed). No written comments in support or opposition were filed with staff prior to the hearing. The commission’s approval is subject to the condition that major alterations be processed under section 21‑5‑m; appeal rights to the circuit court apply for 30 calendar days.","Charleston County Historic Preservation Commission approved an elevated pool on a raised deck at 1653 Boston Grill Road in the newly designated Hamlin Beach Community Historic District after extended debate about whether the pool affects district integrity.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6191469,"Charleston County HPC approves in‑ground pool at Beehive Road property despite neighborhood petition",353,2450000,2803000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4724737-f24135dcbba4afcc1120492ea81b778b&start=2450&end=2803","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4724737-f24135dcbba4afcc1120492ea81b778b/thumbnail_2450000.jpg","/articles/6191469/Charleston-County/South-Carolina/Charleston-County-HPC-approves-inground-pool-at-Beehive-Road-property-despite-neighborhood-petition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191469-de893d922227a528090c107a0d4815f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450796&Signature=bwpFDP57Yjb5MxFFKaCSKigPmgczL3I5S7WvcroZlDiJlCjdR8Xxr1LHIlN63j-v2bXKgyfbGTyYCiUtJgUMCtH22pB4r6SK2aVi3weC22K9mMrwsnTqCnRp33gnXRjU~9VLccPDWFxesAhRjeV8Rt4cYNjBL3A-rY~jEam8ci1iMcQHVDy6UlxmLIzLOUYSaRpYz-veusIjK0luus8gTrVgihmqYo3QARNLbadMWg9VkkgwvX4V~HJ70SBtRfxbasAR~NJhscr556zKHORsFXkGDUUeO5G-xzyTKhP9wb62JFzwSfPplZnbPjWS4xstDYFnIvrthkC1hOFC40-ItA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Charleston County Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of historic appropriateness for installation of an in‑ground pool behind an existing house at 965 Beehive Road in the 10 Mile Community Historic District.

Planner Monica Eustace told the commission the pool is an allowed accessory use, the applicant installed a six‑foot privacy fence the previous Saturday and proposed native plantings to conceal the pool area. She reported the new total impervious surface coverage would be 28.6 percent and that the lot is in Special Management S‑3 and the AE‑11 flood zone.

Applicants Tracy and Matthew Nichols spoke in support, with Tracy Nichols saying they “reside at 965 Beehive Road, and we’re just in favor of the pool.” A representative for Heritage Pools, Dave Sexton, also spoke in favor.

Several commissioners noted receipt of a petition and written opposition (staff reported three comments in opposition and a 38‑signature petition). Commissioners and staff clarified that pools are an allowed accessory use in the zoning district and that visibility from the right of way is the relevant design consideration for this commission.

A motion to approve, citing sections 21‑5‑I (approval criteria) and the fact the pool would not be visible from the right of way, passed. The recorded vote was 5 ayes, 1 nay (Commissioner Anna Johnson voted no). The commission’s decision is final; appeal rights to circuit court apply for 30 calendar days.","The Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of historic appropriateness for an in‑ground swimming pool at 965 Beehive Road in the 10 Mile Community Historic District, finding the pool would be concealed by a six‑foot privacy fence and would not affect the streetscape.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6191473,"Applicant defers Bellas Lane house application after staff recommends redesign",453,881000,1334000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4724737-f24135dcbba4afcc1120492ea81b778b&start=881&end=1334","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4724737-f24135dcbba4afcc1120492ea81b778b/thumbnail_881000.jpg","/articles/6191473/Charleston-County/South-Carolina/Applicant-defers-Bellas-Lane-house-application-after-staff-recommends-redesign","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191473-bc483cdb7589b7bd8b88d75356c8a5dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450796&Signature=TPx0koxGtnnOHRb4yIzTsvYv7opgvudvxfD-yXn~OM1mdozoNip2Nx2xhwy8hzpnNgKl6X3j0cx~A1ixm2RQ7Dxtvz9wAKnVhy73ybLP6gWpKwrdpZZRq6u4CEuAcOokm2FJLv87eQkIq~vKQc7f5dG3xG4NdxYP4hv~J~DGju64iEYSAwEzzAZZcn0ggNq9mw3n3ELtH60xNj6a2cvEY2nRGwuZS1esK0DLly5yQORG~vhD7pxJxPPF1pCXBBxDVl3VghVHJjNCr4DMQxTIA7L5eSDs1PDKB80PM6jhn5drUM0xs~Bv57~EtvoNgIzlp~A4fDvLZ9K1lHBqvT-bSA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission voted to defer action on a certificate of historic appropriateness for a proposed single‑family house at 977 Bellas Lane in the 10 Mile Community Historic District to allow the applicant to meet with staff and revise designs.

Planner Monica Eustace told the commission staff had concerns under section 21‑5‑h‑3 (commission consideration) because the proposed house closely resembled another recently approved house next door (973 Bellas Lane). Staff recommended deferral to give the applicant time to modify the design to distinguish it from adjacent approvals; the report noted the proposed house is 3,145 square feet, that the lot is in Special Management S‑3 and the AE‑11 flood zone, and that three dying grand trees on the site had been approved for removal by the staff arborist.

Applicant Bill Brodsky asked for a deferral and told the commission he would “go back…have a meeting again with the staff, and figure out how to defer it so it has a different look.” Brodsky said he is constructing the neighboring approved house at 973 Bellas Lane and expects to present a revised application at the August meeting.

After public comment in support from Craig Askew and the applicant’s statement, a motion to defer until the August meeting passed unanimously. The commission recorded three written comments in opposition and a 38‑signature petition opposing the original submission; staff reported no written support for the 977 Bellas Lane application at the time of the hearing.","An applicant for a single‑family house at 977 Bellas Lane in the 10 Mile Community Historic District accepted staff’s recommendation to defer the certificate of historic appropriateness to allow design changes and meetings with staff; the commission voted to defer to the August meeting.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6191477,"Charleston County HPC approves house in 10 Mile Community after staff finds design compatible",414,188000,602000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4724737-f24135dcbba4afcc1120492ea81b778b&start=188&end=602","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4724737-f24135dcbba4afcc1120492ea81b778b/thumbnail_188000.jpg","/articles/6191477/Charleston-County/South-Carolina/Charleston-County-HPC-approves-house-in-10-Mile-Community-after-staff-finds-design-compatible","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191477-d76c3d7c9c4de10e2f38171d781e3300/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450796&Signature=nEgwH5US6ZS~yE8IjLgidHnKS-Jh4jv8f4UUG4AsLPWLlyjYNObRnjjuJjWwEVEveEbSoIOb4-kQMHoDmUGBK19gn2JylFBhoPWHUOtg6jA5v5LmQN02QLqylS4tH~iNDkyyQ-8ivCS3Rvt9EBB12CJepGt0Fz~fEiIE7nxfJJAcZ652ZWYk-m8Z5eh6dge-DrHUOhBIw4ZLFCJOypgoqNAmxpNJCnaPxuRWJ~oob6irk9ejFpygGwg2ZJTUosefDPYJEgjx~s2Krrym627FybD6lNRC4-5fdFNgFdShDCajdtCn071DQAJzJ23h2Vh5DTm1AW4H9TBhPxtzfvwwZg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Charleston County Historic Preservation Commission on a unanimous vote approved a certificate of historic appropriateness for construction of a two‑story, 2,536‑square‑foot single‑family house with attached garage on an undeveloped parcel in the 10 Mile Community Historic District.

Staff planner Emily Pigott told the commission the property is in Special Management S‑3 zoning, located at the end of Geneva Smalls Lane (which is not constructed), and that the owner has a recorded access easement across a neighbor’s lot to reach Tim Askew Lane. Pigott said staff found no contributing resources on the subject parcel and that the proposed home’s height, scale and massing “appear compatible and complementary to the existing character features and elements of structures within the 10 Mile Historic District.”

Pigott said the house would sit well back from the right of way on a roughly 0.68‑acre lot and that the design’s horizontal layout and a wrap‑around porch reduce the visual impact of a second story. She recommended approval with the condition that any major changes be processed under section 21‑5‑m (modifications to approved certificates of historic appropriateness) of the county’s historic preservation ordinance.

Tara Marshall, who identified herself as the applicant and gave her address as 2047 Ashburton Way, said, “I agree with everything that Emily explained,” and had no additional comments.

A commissioner moved for approval, stating there would be “no negative impacts to the historic district,” and the motion passed with all present commissioners voting aye. The commission’s decision is final; an appeal to the circuit court of Charleston County must be filed within 30 calendar days.

The commission noted three individual comments in support plus a 38‑signature petition had been received; no written opposition was recorded in the staff packet. The approval carries the staff‑recommended condition about processing major changes under section 21‑5‑m.","The Charleston County Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of historic appropriateness for a proposed two‑story house at a vacant parcel in the 10 Mile Community Historic District, concluding staff found no negative impacts and that approval criteria were met.","actionData","errors"]
