Candidate introduces herself and residents raise park rental and deannexation concerns
Summary
During open comments Carrie Sanderson introduced herself as a candidate, and residents raised park-rental fee suggestions and questions about a deannexation petition and preservation of berm trees on a lot tied to a development; staff and the chair addressed next steps and said relevant entities were present to answer immediate questions.
In open comments, Carrie Sanderson (speaker 8) introduced herself to the attendees: "I'm Carrie Sanderson. I'm from Planter Road Edge... I'm running for the South Carolina House of Representatives to represent you in District 25," she said and offered to talk with residents after the meeting. The chair invited her to visit with residents after the meeting.
Residents raised local items: one speaker suggested outside entities using Sunset Park should pay a nominal fee to support parks (staff said the parks board will discuss the suggestion in April); Justin Bundy (speaker 9) asked about a deannexation petition for a house lot that had been sold (formerly Diane Benson's), whether trees and berms would be preserved and how the change would affect the city. Staff and the chair explained the petition process, that the house and shed will be moved, and that some trees may be preserved though specifics will depend on the developer and planning review.
