Seabrook Island Special Committee on Short-Term Rentals to Host Public Forums
To hear from all individuals and groups who wish to comment on short-term rental activities and regulations within the town, the town’s Special Committee on Short-Term Rentals will be conducting a series of public forums on the following dates, times and locations:
Public Forum #3
- Date: Monday, February 26, 2024
- Time: 1:00 pm
- Location: Seabrook Island Town Hall (2001 Seabrook Island Road)
- Time Limit: The chair will determine the length of time allocated to each presenter in advance of the forum.
- Notes: The purpose of this meeting is to accommodate individuals and groups who wish to make a formal presentation to the committee. Individuals and groups who wish to make a presentation should contact Katharine Watkins by phone at (843) 768-9121 or by email at kwatkins@townofseabrookisland.org no later than noon on Friday, February 23, 2024. Please include the presenter’s name, the length of time desired, and whether any audio/visual materials or handouts will be used. Due to space limitations, attendance may be limited only to those individuals and groups making a presentation to the committee. This forum will also be live-streamed and archived on the town’s YouTube page.
Public Forum #4
- Date: Monday, March 4, 2024
- Time: 6:00 pm
- Location: The Lake House (2319 Seabrook Island Road)
- Time Limit: Each speaker will be limited to seven (7) minutes in which to make their comments.
- Notes: This forum will take place behind the SIPOA Security Gate. Any individual wishing to attend the forum who does not have access behind the security gate should contact (843) 768-9121 for assistance prior to the meeting. This forum will be live-streamed and archived on the town’s YouTube page.
No one who wishes to speak will be denied the opportunity. It is impossible to predict whether demand will be greater than the capacity of each venue. The committee will schedule additional session(s) if they are deemed necessary to accommodate those who wish to speak. If a forum is suspended by the committee chair due to the length of time it has been going on, another session will be scheduled and priority will be given to any attendees who were unable to speak at the previous session.
Short-Term Rental Public Comment Portal
In addition to the public forums listed above, the Special Committee on Short-Term Rentals is currently accepting written comments via the town’s Short-Term Rental Public Comment Portal.
Individuals may use the public comment portal to provide comments regarding any issue or topic related to short-term rental activities within the Town of Seabrook Island. The committee will accept public comments submitted through the portal until Tuesday, March 12, 2024, at noon.
All comments received through the portal will be forwarded to members of the Committee for review. Individuals who submit a comment will not receive a written response; however, comments may be addressed or discussed by members of the Committee during a public meeting.
