Beaufort County shuts down Pine Island developer's latest request

The Beaufort County Council voted 7-3 Monday to reject a developer’s latest attempt to remove land he owns from a type of zoning that is blocking a proposed golf course strongly opposed by many residents. It was the third time since 2023 that the county rejected zoning changes sought by Elvio Tropeano, that would lift a Cultural Protection Overlay (CPO) from 502 acres on St. Helena Island off of Dulamo and St. Helenaville roads. Tropeano’s company, Pine Island Property Holdings LLC, has been trying to build a golf course-centered housing development on the property for years. The CPO allows residential development but prohibits golf courses, gates and resorts. Monday’s vote does not end the dispute. Tropeano, who is suing the county over the zoning issue, publicly outlined a proposed settlement at Monday’s meeting. But council members rejected it, meaning the litigation will continue. The decision on the zoning and settlement questions followed hours of testimony as opponents and supporters revisited the long-running and increasingly contentious dispute pitting development against St. Helena Island’s cultural heritage. Tropeano and his attorney, Kevin Dukes, have argued that the county is treating the project unfairly compared with other developments. They also criticized the county planning

Cave Spring removes fire service fee, faces $123K revenue loss

Just months after raising its fire protection fee, Cave Spring has reversed course, eliminating the charge following a Georgia Supreme Court ruling. The Cave Spring City Council approved removing the $18 fee Tuesday after consulting with the city’s attorney about an October ruling that found a similar fire protection charge in Chatham County to be an illegal tax. The decision leaves city officials searching for ways to replace approximately $123,000 in annual revenue. “We are going to lose that revenue as of now,” City Manager Stephen Walker said. “So we are in talks about how we bring that back.” The fee was a flat charge added to municipal utility bills to help fund the city’s fire protection and emergency response services. In August, the council raised the charge by $1 to $18 from $17 per billing cycle, as part of broader utility rate adjustments intended to address rising operational, equipment and infrastructure costs. Customers outside the city limits were not subject to the fee. The decision to eliminate the charge follows an Oct. 14 Georgia Supreme Court ruling in Chatham County v. Smith, which determined that Chatham County’s fire protection service fee functioned as an illegal property tax. The court
