Developer urges action on stalled Silver Oak Cottages; city staff to meet
Summary
A developer told the Loris City Council on Feb. 9 that delays are stalling the Silver Oak Cottages subdivision along North Cox Road; Mayor Suggs asked staff to meet with the developer to resolve the issues.
Neil Johnson, a developer identifying his address as 333 Bush Drive, Myrtle Beach, told the Loris City Council that he is frustrated by delays in getting his Silver Oak Cottages subdivision started and said he believes the delays stem from the city's planning department. He asked the council for a meeting to work out a solution.
Mayor Michael E. Suggs said he was not previously aware of issues with the project and asked Interim Administrator Angel R. Neighbours and City Attorney John C. Zilinsky to arrange a meeting with Mr. Johnson "as soon as possible" to discuss the matter. Administrator Neighbours and Mr. Johnson exchanged contact information and agreed to meet.
The comment came during the public-comment portion of a regular council meeting that otherwise included routine administrative updates. The comment record indicates Mr. Johnson had not contacted the mayor before speaking at the meeting.
No formal application status, permit numbers, or a timeline for resuming work on the subdivision were provided during the public comment. Council did not take formal action at the meeting; instead, staff were asked to meet with the developer to clarify outstanding steps and possible next actions.
Next steps: Administrator Neighbours and Attorney Zilinsky are to meet with the developer to identify the specific causes of delay and report back to council. The meeting date was not specified in the public record.
