The
Planning Commission Comes to You
The
Planning Commission is starting work on the 2009 Comprehensive Plan, a
thorough look at where we are now, and where we should be in 10 years,
in terms of population, economic development, natural resource,
cultural resources, community facilities, housing, land use,
transportation, and public infrastructure. The plan is required by the
state for all towns and cities, and all counties.
One
critical component is public input. The Commission wants to get a
very broad cross-section of opinion from many kinds of Folly residents,
owners, and business interests, not just those who come to meetings and
speak out. That will be done by door-to-door surveys, a mail survey of
non-resident property owners, and sessions with groups like clubs.
If
you'd like to participate in the survey, we welcome your opinions.
Just
download and complete this survey,
and drop it off or send it
to Aaron
Pope at City Hall, 19 Center Street, Folly Beach SC 29439.
And
come to the Planning Commission meetings at 7 p.m. on the first Monday
of every month to speak your mind about what you want Folly Beach to be.

of comment before the Planning Commission makes its recommendation to
Council...

From the Desk of the Mayor
July
2009
The City needs your help once again. We have several Boards and Commissions where seats are vacant and really need to be filled. This is an excellent opportunity for you to assist the City in moving forward. Please send your resume´/CV and your interest to our Municipal Clerk, Mary Cunningham. Mary will have a list of the seats available during the first weeks of July.
It appears, from what I'm told, that the Citizens of Folly Beach feel they are exempt from all laws we have in place. In particular is the leash law and dogs on the beach! I will tell you, you are not exempt from prosecution. You above all should be setting the example for our visitors and guests. Please do not become a casualty.
There is not much we can do about the heavy traffic on the weekends so I'm asking each of you to be patient and understanding. If you must leave the Beach on the weekend, time your travel so you can return in the mid to late afternoon. We are a public beach and unfortunately we have to endure the hordes that invade each weekend. I met with the mayors from IOP and Sullivan's Island recently and we are not alone, they have the exact same traffic problems. We discussed this subject at some length but did not come up with any untried solutions. We plan to meet on an on-going basis and try to come up with ideas to resolve some of our mutual problems like traffic.
Its turtle season so please remember to turn off your outside lights after dusk. If you see any houses on the front beach that have their outside lights on please ask them to turn them off.
