Applicant Withdraws Requests: Proposed Private Construction and Demolition Waste Landfill at Highway 17 South

Requests will NOT be considered today by Charleston County Council’s Planning and Public Works Committee

The applicant has withdrawn the below requests from consideration. Therefore, the following items will not be on Charleston County Council’s Planning and Public Works Committee meeting agenda held at 4:15 p.m. today in the Lonnie Hamilton, III Public Services Building (4045 Bridge View Drive in North Charleston):

• WITHDRAWN: A request from TRP, LLC to amend the Charleston County Comprehensive Plan to allow “waste-related uses” in the Rural Industrial Future Land Use Category; and
   

• WITHDRAWN: A request from TRP, LLC to rezone property located at 8754 Savannah Highway to the Planned Development District to allow for a private construction and demolition (C&D) landfill. The proposed C&D landfill would accept only inert materials associated with construction, demolition and land clearing operations such as logs, vegetation, bricks, cardboard, glass, box springs and furniture. Types of waste that are not proposed to be accepted include, but are not limited to, oil filters, machine parts, hazardous and effluent waste, municipal solid waste and electronic equipment.

Once a request is withdrawn, an applicant must wait one year before filing an application for the same request, unless County Council agrees to waive the waiting period and allows a new application to be submitted. Any new request would have to go through the normal application process, to include the request going before the Charleston County Planning Commission, a public hearing, etc. The most recent public hearing on the proposed private construction and demolition waste landfill was held on December 1, 2009 in the Baptist Hill High School cafeteria.

The online agenda has been updated to reflect the withdrawal. The agenda is located on the Charleston County Government Web site at http://www.charlestoncounty.org/departments/Council/agendas.htm.

Residents should always check online at www.charlestoncounty.org or call (843) 202-7200 prior to any meetings to verify the final agenda.
