YES. tired of driving to mount pleasant just for a decent latte. make this happen!! 2510 Ion Ave
Fix this. We need community spaces that arent just bar food. 2804 I'On Ave.
small and local is better than another big chain restaurant. 1205 Atlantic Ave.
Living on Middle Street and I would love a place to grab a coffee in the morning without driving off island. 2208 Middle St.
Finally. We dont need more massive restaurants but a small spot for coffee would be perfect. 1412 Jasper Blvd.
Sullivan's Island Residents, Friends, and Family, I've been asked to send something out that helps clarify people's concerns regarding the "Coffee Shop" zoning amendment that will be voted on at the August 19 Town Council Meeting (IF YOU CAN MAKE IT TO THE MEETING TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT, PLEASE JOIN US!!!). Please send this to anyone you know that may have concerns...the information is also listed on the ipetition site: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sicoffeeshop Sullivan's Island "Coffee Shop" Zoning text Amendment. FEAR vs. REALITY FEAR: We're opening the door for more expansion in the business district. REALITY: Currently, there's no option for small scale, locally focused food service businesses on Sullivan's Island. The current zoning allows for Restaurants (of which there can be no more and which primarily cater to off-island visitors) or Take-Out Only establishments (which don't seem to survive). What we're talking about is allowing a small number (4 maximum) of small scale, locally focused, highly regulated businesses that can survive to cater to local families...NOT off-island visitors. Without the creation of this zoning, locals won't be able to "consume food or beverage on-premises" at Cafe Medley or The Co-Op...you'd have to leave and hang out off the property. There shouldn 't be any "expansion," only support of what's already in place (Cafe Medley, Co-Op, Beardcats). FEAR: There will be 4 more restaurants on Sullivan's Island REALITY: There is a 300 foot limitation built into the amendment. This means likely applicants will be Cafe Medley, The Co-Op, and Beardcats Sweetshop which leaves 1 more potential licensee. The only existing buildings that COULD house the license are Marsh Winds office building or Prime Time Fitness. With the limitations in place, NO ONE (with any business sense) will build new construction ($$$$$$) on an empty lot ($$$$$$) and put in a "Coffee Shop." These other three locations already exi

Keep the island quiet but give us somewhere to sit. This is a good compromise. 1910 I'On Ave.
