Council weighs dog‑park feasibility, pickleball demand and EBPOA concerns on lot fill and trees
Summary
Council discussed a proposed dog park at Tract M, pickleball court expansion, and EBPOA recommendations about lot‑fill drainage and tree‑cutting. Staff noted 'No Adverse Impact Certification' requirements for fill and existing tree‑survey rules; TIDE Committee review and a tree study were recommended.
Council revisited a dog‑park concept (previously proposed in the 2021 Recreational Master Plan) and discussed potential locations — including Tract M — along with insurance, maintenance, parking and zoning implications. Members agreed to develop a preliminary design that considers flex space needs for Town operations and to ask the TIDE Committee to review feasibility and sustainability.
Council also discussed rising demand for pickleball courts and will evaluate expansion feasibility. The Edisto Beach Property Owners Association (EBPOA) submitted recommendations including concerns that lot fill could alter drainage and that tree cutting should be managed; Building Code Administrator Patrick Brown noted engineers must complete a "No Adverse Impact Certification" for fill and that a tree survey is required for site development. Council suggested TIDE review and possible ordinance recommendations informed by the Town’s ongoing tree study.
