We appeal to Robert Hill regarding the proposed plans for Conditional Zoning in Subject #2 – located at the South entrance of Sea Trail on Clubhouse Road. We purchased – in many cases built – our nearby homes understanding Subject #2 is zoned Medium Residential density (MR3) and would therefore be non-commercial. Our property values, our lifestyle, and our neighborhood will be negatively impacted with the introduction of commercial properties in Subject #2.

We urge you to consider the proposed 2nd option for Subject #2. The introduction of duplexes is preferred to long-time residents, and new residents, alike. While we’ve seen numerous store fronts open, struggle & close, this option would provide the Town with a predictable tax increase. We appeal to you to consider one change to this option and incorporate 14 duplexes - omitting 4 duplexes near the proposed park. This option would protect our Heritage Trees, preserve the natural area of our South entrance, and complement our neighborhood.

The proposed park for Subject #2 brings no value to the Town’s tax base, current residents, or beauty of Sea Trail. As Town of Sunset Beach taxpayers, we already have pristine waterfront acres at our Town Park a block away. We urge you to preserve this area by omitting the proposed park for Subject # 2 and protect our Heritage trees.

We implore you to request that the Sunset Beach Town Council approve the construction of 14 duplexes as part of Subject #2 instead of the commercial development that was initially approved.

We thank you for your attention to this matter.

On behalf of SeaTrail Residents Interested in Riptide Subject #2 remaining MR3

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people joined this effort to protect our neighborhood. It is clear that this space matters to all of us and I am just humbled that so many have chosen to speak up alongside me.

We have empty commercial buildings in Sunset beach; we do NOT need commercial buildings in our residential areas of Sea Trail.

I own Club Villa 11c which backs up to this property and I would much rather look out my condo and see other club villas rather then looking at the rear of commercial buildings with their dumpsters and refuge. Also who as a new potential homeowner want to pull into a main entrance to the community and the first thing they see is a strip mall . Not to impressive to me for first impressions!

I don't think any retail shops belong in a "premiere" golf community. Riptide's description. You won't find them in Hilton Head or Pebble Beach.

I love the idea of a premiere golf course. I hate the idea of commercial buildings that are closed up due to lack of workers and customers. Please Keep it to residential.

Please keep our community as it was originally planned maintaining the trees which are very important for our environment and the beauty of Sea Trail.

We currently have enough residential traffic at our entrances without adding commercial businesses and more traffic to these areas. Duplexes would help to lesson this traffic problem.

Sea Trail would be better served with duplexes. We have traffic enough residential traffic now at each entrance and exit without adding commercial traffic to the mix.

Commercial development should not be near residential neighborhoods.
