IOP Council
Candidates
IN THEIR OWN WORDS

BY LAURA FOGARTY
ISLAND EYE NEWS MANAGING EDITOR

T
he Island Eye news asked our readers
to submit their questions for the five
candidates running for City Council.
The response was an overwhelming
abundance of input and for that, we thank
you. Below are the first three in a series
of six questions (compiled to represent
the most citizens’ questions possible). The
candidates’ answers are reprinted unedited
and in their entirety. The remaining three
questions will be answered in our Oct. 11
issue.

1. Isle of Palms has a mix of long term


residents, short term rentals, second
homes and day trippers. What kind
of community are we trying to have
here? 
2. Charleston County continues to grow.
How do you feel the current council
has handled the impact of the growth
on Isle of Palms? What would you
suggest?
3. What is your plan and vision for the
Isle of Palms marina?

letters to the editor
Dear Editor,
Tim Reese of Sullivan’s Island Town Council has a stunning
proposal: turn major parts of historic Stith Park, as well as the
grounds of Battery Gadsden, into a parking lot for the commercial
district restaurants.  Mr. Reese’s proposal, complete with map, was
presented on Sept. 9 during the Town of Sullivan’s Island Council
Workshop and included an engineering study for $15,200. Meanwhile,
it was approved for funding by Town Council on Sept. 17. This is not
a bad joke; this is actually happening.
Even more stunning, the Recreation Chair and Town Council
Member Kaye Smith, who is in charge of the Sullivan’s Island Parks,
has remained silent on the parking lot conversions, as has long-time
Council Member Chauncey Clark.  Their silence on this issue speaks
volumes to their intentions.
Please let the Sullivan’s Island Recreation Committee know it is not
acceptable to place the needs of diners and partiers over the island
children’s outdoor space needs.  Any effort to convert park space
to parking space is a direct attack on our island families and the
residential character of Sullivan’s Island, an affront that should not
be tolerated by our elected officials. 
Help council members Kaye Smith and Chauncey Clark regain
their senses and encourage them to join council members who have
spoken against this proposal.  Let’s place our children’s well-being
before convenient parking, as generations to come deserve better.

Joe Church,
Sullivan’s Island

another approach to removing vegetation for ocean views, we should
be looking at our most vulnerable areas: the back side of the island
where flooding is most likely, and our lowest lying areas that struggle
with storm-water drainage even in a non-hurricane weather event.
The approach of first addressing the thriving accreted land shows the
true motive is not resiliency, but ocean views. Is this a reasonable
expense of tax payer dollars, when we have so many very real,
imminent risks to mitigate?”
Church concluded by saying “If you care about the natural
environment and resiliency of the bounty of land we have between the
beach and the homes on Sullivan’s, it is vital that you start attending
Council meetings and voicing your concerns.”
TOSI broke for an executive session to seek legal advice on three
cases where residents are suing the town, and to discuss appointments
to the town’s boards and commissions.
TOSI made no decisions or took any votes during executive session,
but did vote to approve a slate of appointments to the town’s various
boards and commissions when they returned to regular session.
Details of the new appointments can be reviewed on the town’s
website by visiting sullivansisland.sc.gov/government/boards-
commissions, and clicking on any/all of the five links listed on the
page.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

2. Obviously the growth in Charleston County continues to
increase, which adds more day visitors to our island. I believe our
current council is doing a real good job trying to come up with ways
to limit the growth of our day visitors. For example, they recently
enacted parallel parking on Palm Blvd, thus eliminating more
parking opportunities. I believe we should continue to be creative
in finding other ways of limiting more spaces. As mention before,
I believe we should increase parking/ littering fines. I believe the
current council, working with staff are looking into ways to “get
the word out” that our parking areas are full which may encourage
people not to come. I think this is a great idea, which I would
support.
