Hardeeville annexes Pintail Creek property and adopts PDD; DOT encroachment permit required before land‑disturbance
Summary
Council approved second readings to annex roughly 111 acres (Pintail Creek), adopt PDD zoning, and accept the initial master plan; staff said an approved SC DOT encroachment permit is a mandatory condition to release land‑disturbance permits and the public flagged concerns about wetlands, wildlife and Purisburg Road traffic.
On Feb. 19 the Hardeeville City Council approved three related ordinances on second reading to annex about 111 acres (the Pintail Creek project), set the property’s plan development district (PDD) zoning, and adopt an initial master plan for the site.
During the public hearing nearby property owners raised concerns about wetlands and wildlife observed on the parcel, and about traffic and pedestrian safety at the Purisburg Road/US‑17 intersection. Nathan Sturi and owner Oleg Metnik introduced the applicant team and the draft plan in the hearing.
City planning staff told council that the ordinance approvals carried a mandatory condition: the developer must provide an approved South Carolina Department of Transportation (SC DOT) encroachment permit for the roadway improvements shown in the master plan before the city will release the SRC land‑disturbance permit. “We will require as a condition precedent that an approved encroachment permit from SC DOT be provided to us in order for us to release the staff review land disturbance permit,” Mr. Gruber said during the hearing.
Council approved all three ordinances by voice vote on second reading.
What’s next: The developer must secure any required DOT encroachment permits and complete required pavement and shoulder improvements (DOT‑driven standards) before proceeding with land disturbance under the city’s SRC process.
