Edisto dock hearings held
EDISTO ISLAND — More than 100 people crowded public hearings on plans to build multi-boat docks for a 10-lot development on Sand Creek and a five-lot development on Bailey Creek.
Developers say the multi-boat docks are less intrusive than a row of docks for each new home. Opponents say they are built to provide more docks for more homes than environmental rules would otherwise allow. A decision on whether permits will be granted is expected after the Oct. 3 close of the comment period. Any appeal would go to the S.C. Health and Environmental Cotrol board, and then could go to a state administrative law judge.
Jim Brailsford, of the Edisto Island Open Land Trust and the Edisto Island Community Association, said he expected the decision will be appealed "whether they grant either permit, deny it or grant it with conditions."
