Stoney Ridge final plat tabled to June 15 after bond‑amount discrepancy surfaced
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously tabled the Stoney Ridge Section 6 final plat after staff and the developer reported differing bond amounts (staff report ~ $530,000; developer worksheet ~ $229,000) and agreed to verify the correct figure at the June 15 meeting.
The Berkeley County Planning Commission voted unanimously on June 1 to table the final plat for Stoney Ridge, Section 6, after a discrepancy emerged between the bond amount listed in the staff report and a worksheet provided to the developer.
Staff described the proposal as a 17‑lot single‑family subdivision on about 5.3 acres to be served by public water and sewer. Laura Hoffmaster, deputy director of community development, told the Commission that the staff report listed a bond amount of roughly $530,000 while the developer’s worksheet showed an amount around $229,000. Developer representative Mike Roberts said the work in question had been completed and asked that the item be tabled so the parties could agree on the correct bond amount.
Commissioners discussed whether an additional public hearing would be required; legal counsel stated that because no new public commenters had requested to speak, a second hearing would not be necessary. After closing the public hearing, the Commission voted to table the Final Plat until the June 15 Planning Commission meeting to allow staff and the developer to confirm the correct bond figure.
Next steps: the item will return to the June 15 meeting with a clarified bond amount; staff noted statutory timelines related to bond reductions and public hearing requirements should the bond be adjusted.
