Dear Palmetto Bluff Neighborhood Association Members,

In the spirit of transparency we wanted to share with you some important information.

On November 11th we sent you a communication concerning the results of the November 9th Bluffton Town Council meeting focusing on South Street Partner’s request to our government officials to expand and change key components of the plan for the marina at Anson. In that note, we pointed out an inconsistency in South Street Partner’s narrative with the Town Council during the November 9th public meeting. 

Below for your information is a note that we sent to both the Town Council and the Planning Commissioners correcting the record on behalf of the PBNA Membership. As you will see, we also offered the PBNA’s collaboration with the developer and city officials on any issues where our voice would be helpful. 

Subsequent to sending the note to our government officials, we sat down with two of the Town Council members. They told us that it is their understanding that South Street Partners will conduct  a town hall meeting with the residents of Palmetto Bluff to discuss the changes that SS Partners are requesting to the marina at Anson. Further, once the Town’s Negotiating Committee addresses this topic, it is their understanding that this committee will seek public comments.  Further, once the Negotiating Committee makes a recommendation to the Town Council, the Council will once again conduct a public hearing on the issue. This is all good news. We urge you and your neighbors who may or may not be members of the PBNA to attend both the South Street Town hall meeting when it is announced and the Town Council meeting which will be announced after the first of the year. We will communicate dates, times and locations as soon as they are scheduled.

The PBNA continues to be committed to having another meeting of residents in the January timeframe.  We hope to focus on improving the understanding of the purpose of restarting the PBNA and improve the resident’s (PBNA Members and non-members)  understanding of the governing documents of Palmetto Bluff. In the meantime, we are working hard to attract interested residents to join the Board…especially women so that we can better align the composition of the Board with the resident population.   If you are interested, please let us know.   As always, thank you to the growing PBNA membership for your keen interest in this beautiful place where we live.  Please feel free to share this note with your neighbors.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

 Sincerely,

 Bob Morette, Harry Haslam, Ford Bartholow, Eric Sutherland, Graz Graziano, Richard Cedrone
