Petition to not allow zoning changes and not allow a Boat Storage. "418" Broughton Rd.
This petition is to fight against issues which have not been thought through with current residents in mind. Building a boat storage facility in a residential area will negatively impact the state of the current neighborhood and their families.
-There is no HOA so locals do not need a boat storage facility. The newly developing neighborhood (which locals do not want for the same reasons below) will have an HOA and will NEED this allowing non residents to benefit financially for the inconvenience of the dedicated locals.
-Catering to the public rather than the local residents in our neighborhood drive crime, litter, corruption, and traffic for the locals that have been dedicated to live here for many years.
-The land has large natural wetlands that need to be considered. We have seen from other surrounding cities the harm that this has caused during storms and drainage situations. (ie. Carnes, Nexton, Sangaree, most of summerville.) Please look at the below link for our area!

-School traffic is ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT on Broughton Rd and traffic gets backed up. The new neighborhood being build will add to the traffic issues in the area. By adding a boat storage facility to the area, the traffic will become a safety hazard for the children and families who live in the area and will negatively impact the traffic to the intersection at Main Street and potentially down Main St.
-When were the traffic studies done?
-Why were no local residents informed of the decision to take residential land and make it commercial?
-The issue with the realtor being associated with the deciding board is a conflict.
-The buyers/developers are from Mt. Pleasant and are not local residents that care about the sanctity of Moncks Corner.
-Aug 15TH Meeting was Tabled and had many people come to talk. This is a good start of an effort and we need to have more people attend the next meeting. The next meeting should be SEP 19TH. PLEASE COME OUT TO THE MUNICIPLE COMPLEX. 6PM.

The feedback regarding the wetlands and traffic safety at Broughton Road continues to reinforce the necessity of this opposition. We are currently preparing to present these specific concerns to the local planning office. Your continued vigilance regarding any new developments at this site is appreciated.

The response to this petition has reached a level that demonstrates how deeply our neighborhood cares about the future of Broughton Road. This momentum serves as a clear indication that the preservation of our residential integrity is a priority for many. I thank you for your involvement as we continue to advocate for responsible planning in our community.

I live very close to this proposed zoning change and am very concerned about the congestion this could cause during high traffic times. I could easily see Broughton Road easily backed up during these times. I could see issues with emergency services being able to access my area as well as getting to surrounding areas. I just do not see the proper infrastructure in place. As well as the fact that once you pass the courthouse corner this area is strictly residential. Please consider a more commercial location for this boat storage or any other commercial development. I respectfully request this tract of land stay residential. Thank you.
Broughton Road should not be zoned for commercial unless it is before the Municipal Building or at the Boat Landing. The school busses already have timing issues and delays. Maybe great to add businesses to Berkeley County for revenue not just on Broughton Rd., which should be residential or agriculture.
I am totally against this boat storage. We have enough traffic already. The traffic from Kitfield will become problematic as people will be forced to cut thru the neighborhood at Sandy Drive if they get backed up on Kitfield Rd. Too many of our wetlands are being destroyed also! I've been in Thornley Forest for 35 years and I travel this road Multiple times per week. I do not want to see a boat storage interrupt the residential integrity of our area! No! Build somewhere else!
If the HOA doesn’t want to look at boats in their community why should other homeowners be forced to look at them. The level of traffic, litter and drunk drivers coming off the water is bad enough on Broughton adding a business in addition to the community off of KitField is more than the area can handle, it will continue to stress the ecosystem and what Moncks Corner is known for.
We the residents are opposed to a boat storage facility on Broughton Road. This is not a commercial area and should not be used as one. We bought here to get away from living in a commercial area.
Keep our town quiet and quaint money talks is disgusting
just what we need more traffic on broughton road.

This huge boat landing at the end of broughton road is going to be enough traffic added along with the new neighborhood being added to kitfield road leaving only two ways out with all surrounding school traffic! Zoning for boat storage in a residential area is crazy! I hope all neighbors show up for the meeting august 15 at 6:00 to voice all concerns!
