Overview: In a development for Putnam County, the council has passed a rezoning ordinance that will pave the way for a private luxury community on Hog Island. The decision, which resulted in a 4-1 vote, follows discussions around the provision of emergency services and the impact of the development on the island life. Mr. Kennedy, the applicant for the rezoning, assured that the development would be the least intrusive option and would address the challenges of island life. Despite concerns raised by Commissioner Adams and other members regarding the costs and safety implications of providing emergency services on the island, the council agreed that these issues would be addressed in the subsequent development review process. The support for the project was also echoed by Judith York, a resident of Drayton Island, who cited the previous expiration of the planned unit development and the applicant’s rights.
