Berkeley County planning panel denies final plat for Nadin Bush Pines after homeowners cite stormwater, soil and HOA problems

The Berkeley County Planning Commission on Oct. 11, 2025, denied final plat approval for Nadin Bush Pines Phase 3, a nine‑lot single‑family subdivision proposed by ILA Properties Inc., after a lengthy public hearing in which multiple residents described ongoing stormwater, soil and HOA problems in earlier phases.

The denial follows testimony from homeowners who said lawns have failed to establish because builders did not place adequate topsoil, that stormwater runoff ponds and culverts remain problematic, and that the developer has not provided HOA governance or timely responses. Frederico Kaldish, a homeowner on Lot 42, told the commission he had submitted photographs and a county stormwater report and said, “A final civilization required that the site has healthy, vigorous stands of perennial grass that uniformly covers more than 70% of the ground,” reading language from the state permit and county manuals.
