Commission approves ADA ramp and site changes for 1765 Folly Road in Beefield Historic District
Summary
The commission approved a certificate of historic appropriateness to convert a house to office use at 1765 Folly Road with an ADA access ramp, privacy fence and a multi‑use path, after staff found the changes compatible with the Beefield Community Historic District.
Staff presented a CHA for 1765 Folly Road in the Beefield Community Historic District recommending approval with a condition that major changes follow the county’s historic preservation ordinance. The applicant said the request was limited to an ADA access ramp plus required site improvements (parking reconfiguration, pedestrian path and a six‑foot privacy fence where vegetative buffering could not meet ordinance standards). One public speaker (applicant representative Brian Cruz) explained the ramp; commissioners moved to approve the request on the record of staff findings and the motion passed by roll call.
The approval is final under the commission’s authority; the transcript notes that any person with substantial interest may appeal to the Circuit Court of Charleston County within 30 calendar days.
