Developer delays request to remove trees

Staff reports
Tuesday, August 5, 2008



A request to remove 34 protected grand trees to make room for Angel Oak Village has been deferred at the developer's request.

The item was scheduled to go before the Charleston Board of Zoning Appeals - Site Design meeting on Wednesday.

The development of shops, offices and up to 600 multi-family homes at Maybank Highway and Bohicket Road has been in the works since 2005 and received final approval from Charleston City Council last month.

The land sits at a key Johns Island intersection and surrounds Angel Oak Park on three sides. The city long ago identified the intersection as a "gathering place" where dense development would be desirable but has worked closely with the developers to protect the integrity of the park.

good decision by the developer... or is he going to increase the amount of trees being uprooted ? Maybe he's too busy with the Magnolia project headache and delays ? This could be a great project, just do it right !
