City Council
approved a special event permit for the annual North Myrtle Beach Christmas Parade scheduled
for Saturday, December 7, 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. on Main Street. The North
Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce and the City of North Myrtle Beach work
together to present and manage the annual parade.
City Council passed
second (final) reading of an ordinance amending section 7-172, Form and Condition of Permit, regarding
sidewalk cafes.
To satisfy concerns
raised by SLED and the S.C. Department of Revenue, Section 7-172(12) of the
City’s Code of Ordinances now reads:
“The serving and
consumption of beer, wine and liquor in the sidewalk encroachment pursuant to
this article is limited to patrons within the sidewalk encroachment area
designated for the permittee.”
The City also
amended Section 7-172 to add subsection (13) which provides:
“All tables
authorized for use in the sidewalk encroachment area shall have non-moveable
signage, which is permanently affixed to the table and visible to all, which
identifies the table as belonging to the business for which the encroachment
permit has been issued. The area of the sidewalk authorized for use as a
sidewalk café shall be designated and marked by the City. All tables, chairs
and or other items authorized to be placed within the designated encroachment
area shall remain at all times within the designated encroachment area of the
sidewalk.”
City Council removed
from the table and postponed until after a soon-to-be scheduled Council workshop second
reading of an ordinance to amend the Robber’s Roost Planned Development
District (PDD), revising standards for the Neighborhood Overlay Zone
pertaining to porches and recessed garages. At City Council’s previous
meeting, at the applicant’s request, City Council tabled second reading of
the proposed ordinance.
The amendment would
affect the residential portion of the PDD. The proposed amended architectural
standards would:
-- Delete the
requirement for garage doors to be recessed from the front facade, allowing
garage doors to protrude forward from the front facade no more than two feet.
-- Require a minimum
of 24 feet of driveway between any garage door and the front property line.
-- Revise the
minimum width of porches to require 25 percent of the frontage of the facade
facing the street or a six-foot minimum when a third garage bay is part of
the home design.
City Council passed
first reading of an ordinance to amend Chapter 21, Article II, Section 21-40 - Annual Parking Fee
Exemption, to include parking decal placement specifications.
Parking decal placement is problematic for
parking enforcement personnel due to inconsistent placement and failure to
use provided adhesive by some vehicle and golf cart owners. There is no legal
provision to for the City to issue a citation for either violation, and there
is no effective way to encourage compliance.
The proposed
ordinance would require that decals for all personal vehicles be located and
adhered, adhesive side to designated surface and area, as follows:
-- Regular vehicles
to the inside of the windshield, on the driver’s side, in the bottom part of
the window
-- Motorcycles with
windshields to the outside of the windshield, in the bottom left corner
-- Motorcycles
without windshields to the fork
-- Golf carts with
windshields to the outside of the front windshield, on the driver’s side, in
the bottom part of the window.
-- Golf carts
without windshields to the front of the cart beside the state decal.
During the meeting, Mayor Marilyn Hatley appointed a committee
comprised of Mike Bessant, Kevin Blayton, Pete Brooks, Bob Cavanaugh and Rob
Kayton to develop a plan for educating residents, businesses and visitors
about the City’s ordinance prohibiting the sale, use or distribution of
single-use carryout plastic bags by retail establishments within North Myrtle
Beach. The ordinance goes into effect January 1, 2021. City Councilman Bob
Cavanaugh serves as chairman of the committee.
