We are excited  to report that Bluffton Town Councilman Fred Hamilton (Mayor Pro-Tempore),  and Councilman Larry Toomer have agreed to come and meet with our membership on January 13th at 3PM at the River Road Lodge. We are very grateful that these two government officials are making time to be with us. We hope that you will save the date and join your neighbors and friends at this session. 

For several months, we have been sending out information to you about South Street Partners’  (SSP) requested changes to the master agreement between the Town of Bluffton and the developer that are beyond the limitations and safeguards put in place in the original 1998 agreement (and subsequent amendments).  These original arrangements provided for a single dry stack storage facility (currently at Wilson Landing) and limited fueling to land side only.  These provisions were put in place to protect the rivers around Palmetto Bluff.  As you know, SSP is requesting fuel over water rights and additional dry stack storage at the planned Anson Marina.

Regardless of where you come down on the proposed expansion at Anson, we hope that you will join us for a respectful discussion of the issues with both Councilmen.  You can learn more about our distinguished guests at the attached link. 

We continue to hope that SSP will hold a Town Hall Meeting with all residents concerning their requested changes.  We believe that it is important that they communicate their intentions directly to property owners and receive feedback from all of us who are most invested in the long-term viability of our community. 

As always, the volunteers of the PBNA enjoy hearing from you.  Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.  Also, if you have neighbors who have not yet joined the PBNA, please encourage them to do so prior to this important meeting. 

Warmest regards,

Palmetto Bluff PBNA Volunteers 

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