 Residents of Awendaw,

The public hearing scheduled for June 5th, 2025, at 6:30 PM has been cancelled. Ordinances 2025-11 through 16 do not require a public hearing, as the annexations are done using the 100% method. The requirements for these annexation requests are outlined below from the Municipal Association of South Carolina (MASC):

100% Petition and Ordinance Method: A municipality may annex any contiguous area or property upon receipt of a petition signed by all persons owning real estate in the area requesting annexation. Upon agreement to accept the petition and annex the area and enactment of an ordinance by the governing body declaring the area annexed, the annexation is complete pursuant to SC Code Sec. 5-3-150(3).

The hearing was initially scheduled in error. I do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused both the petitioners and residents who have submitted their public comments.

Respectfully,
Katharine E. Watkins, MPA
Town Administrator
