Summary

The Horry County Planning Commission approved a staff-recommended design modification to waive a 10-foot utility easement where utilities are not present or planned. The motion carried after staff explained the narrow scope of the request.

The Horry County Planning Commission approved a requested design modification to Article 4 Section 5 that would allow plats to omit a 10-foot-wide utility easement where no utilities exist and none are planned.

Staff presented the request and recommended approval. Staff said the modification applies only in areas without existing or planned utilities and that the submitted plat reflects that condition. "Staff recommends approval," the planner said. The chair called for a motion; the modification was seconded and the motion carried.

The action was procedural: staff recommended the modification and the commission voted to accept that recommendation. No public testimony opposing the change was recorded in the workshop. The item will proceed to the commission's consent or regular agenda as required by standing procedures.
