Chairman Pete Wilson read a proclamation commemorating Judge Zine's career, noting a start date of July 1, 1975, appointment as deputy probate judge in 1991 and assumption of the probate judge office on Jan. 1, 2019. The proclamation stated Judge Zine has \"issued over 1,400 marriage licenses\" during her career and has hosted continuing legal education for peers. Judge Zine spoke briefly and called serving Chester County an \"honor and a privilege,\" praised the probate staff and recalled her earlier supervisor E.K. Harden as \"one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known.\" The proclamation was presented and council members applauded.

Coroner Terry Tinker introduced Jolene Clinton after a nomination process within the coroner's office. Tinker described Clinton as inquisitive and noted she will attend Advanced Coroner School in January; he said she has been a deputy coroner for about seven years and called her \"a blessing to Chester County EMS\" and to county fire departments. Clinton accepted the recognition and thanked the department.

In the administrator's report, staff announced Andrea Pelkey as deputy director for EMS. The county said Pelkey brings more than 25 years of frontline clinical experience and over a decade of EMS education and leadership. The administrator reported Pelkey's work on billing improvements helped the county be about $11,000 ahead of last year in EMS billing as of early July.

Bagley told council the county's auto maintenance shop conservatively saved about $30,000 in labor and more than $35,000 in parts last year compared with outsourcing repairs. He stressed the larger benefit is reduced vehicle downtime for emergency vehicles: \"That doesn't happen if you have to get the emergency vehicle to, particularly ambulances, if you have to take them to get repaired,\" Bagley said.

On the landfill, Bagley said the county submitted an expansion application to DES that would permit a multidecade increase in C&D capacity. He and staff described the planned expansion as covering much of the footprint of the old municipal solid waste landfill and estimated it should provide roughly 40 years of additional C&D capacity, subject to regulatory review and a required cap at the end of the facility's life. Bagley said the county remains in compliance with South Carolina DHEC and is awaiting DES's response to the expansion application.

The county experienced a major maintenance issue at the BeltLine Recycle Center earlier the same day when both compactor units were inoperable; staff closed the gates and arranged a roll‑off dumpster and technician. Bagley said the outage was resolved by lunchtime. He also reported progress on adding electrical and TV recycling centers at convenience sites, tracking waste streams by type, and improving customer communication and signage at the landfill.

Other public‑works notes included:
- Parks and recreation has been merged into public works; staff are working on a Dawson park master plan with the parks advisory board and hiring a parks supervisor.
- The department has begun tracking work order turnaround times and is testing a work‑order system to improve communications and clarify whether road issues are county, state (SCDOT) or private responsibilities.
- Resource recovery: the county submitted the expansion application to DES for the C&D landfill; initial estimates project about 40 years of capacity on top of the old landfill footprint, with an eventual cap required at closure.

Council members asked for additional detail about the size of the expansion footprint and whether the expansion would be properly lined; Bagley said the expansion would sit on top of the old landfill and noted the stipulation that a cap will be required at the end of the site's life. Councilmember questions about cost recovery prompted Bagley to say a rate study is planned to determine whether operations \"pay for themselves.\"","Public Works Director Devin Bagley updated council on vehicle maintenance cost savings, a submitted application to expand the county's construction & demolition landfill, a temporary outage at the BeltLine recycle compactors and improvements to parks, roads and recycling operations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6551808,"Chester County Council approves rezoning, subdivision security and authorizes demolition of courthouse‑adjacent building",530,1352000,1882000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5327654-b11bff9b8d9c93f473cdc409cbdde189&start=1352&end=1882","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5327654-b11bff9b8d9c93f473cdc409cbdde189/thumbnail_1352000.jpg","/articles/6551808/Chester-County/South-Carolina/Chester-County-Council-approves-rezoning-subdivision-security-and-authorizes-demolition-of-courthouseadjacent-building","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551808-974a03b96a48540340c7e0fdeaef028a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440007&Signature=Yi3QCv8~-p386a0dKibi4NGg6IlGZIIJ9RMr1Mzx97n4ZS6Z2I6XJQ9bJDFL27qaDjDAa1RBRSN~snxULcR1tryxZItIOSA7ks8yNTbqOimjNg5kGy6MjAr7FMwoXdT3Dng0Gph0MlhIyALK-gYapVwCW29Sti4N9iAUgGr6oJDnM5wToPc9i~m4Xs2ubRwoPVjyYVig6yms~-rOi2HS1YA9N9oQifjoRKW~43-gvOHcMxLbhXhM-g5hcmQStaQEEqOrkPForAYyyE3lxtZ9sCTfvWERxL~4a-norRByRSM9RzDtOPzd3ZRPOSdeUJbuyImwotGQAjGm-E9P-MxrmQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chester County Council on July 7 approved a zoning map change for an 83.02‑acre parcel off Cedarhurst Road, authorized demolition of a vacant brick building behind the courthouse, and approved bonding and a standby irrevocable letter of credit to secure infrastructure for phase 1 of the Stanton subdivision in Richburg.

The council approved third reading of CCMA 25‑17, a request by GFI Partners to rezone tax map number 097000030000 (about 83.02 acres) from Limited Industrial District (ID‑2) to General Industrial District (ID‑3). The county planning commission had recommended approval by a 4‑0 vote. Chairman Pete Wilson called the question and the council voted in favor on third reading.

The council also considered Resolution 2025‑16, which authorizes the disposition — including demolition — of certain county real property at 103 McAleerle Street, a brick building located behind the courthouse. County staff (Mister Hester) told council members the building has extensive roof and structural deterioration, twisted rafters and joists, and mold; without a defined county need, staff recommended tearing it down. Council moved, seconded and voted to approve the resolution.

Council approved a financial security package for Stanton Subdivision (phase 1) that pairs a builder\u0010submitted bond for on‑lot work (sidewalks and trees) with a standby irrevocable letter of credit from HC Stanton LLC covering the remaining infrastructure. Planning staff said as‑built water, sewer and road work for the phase already had been approved. County staff explained the letter of credit functions like a bond and that the county requires security equal to the estimated infrastructure cost plus a 50% contingency. Council approved the bond and letter of credit for phase 1 (88 single‑family homes) by a 4‑1 vote; a council member voiced concerns about potential erosion and requested follow‑up with the developer.

- Stanton Subdivision phase 1 (bond and standby irrevocable letter of credit): motion and second; approved 4 in favor, 1 opposed.

Council discussion and clarifications
Planning and county staff described the subdivision security arrangement as permissible under the county's subdivision code and described the standby irrevocable letter of credit as a bank instrument that allows the county to draw funds if a developer fails to complete required infrastructure. Councilmembers asked about property ownership across phases and about a neighbor's concern regarding sediment/erosion entering a private pond. Staff said no formal erosion complaints had been received but committed to follow up with the citizen.

No other formal votes were recorded in the transcript excerpt; council moved to administrative reports and a public‑works presentation following these actions.","At its July meeting the Chester County Council approved a rezoning for 83.02 acres off Cedarhurst Road, authorized demolition of a long‑vacant building behind the courthouse, and approved bonding and an irrevocable letter of credit for phase 1 of the Stanton subdivision.","actionData","errors"]
