Do you have any comments or suggestions about the Palmer Simmons Appeal of Removal from the Planning Commission?
Mr. Palmer Simmons is the owner / operator of Carolina Trucking, a light industrial commercial dump truck hauling business. Mr. Simmons has been operating this business on family land located at 584 Spanish Wells Rd for over a year, in violation of established zoning and LMO's for this location and surrounding area. This light industrial commercial trucking activity has produced obnoxious and disturbing noise, odors, and toxins into our residential environment. This disturbing light industrial commercial activity often times takes place within several feet of our property lines and homes located in Oak Marsh Plantation. This activity has started as early as 0605 am and gone on as late as 1130 pm and occurs just about every day in some form with anywhere from 1-6 trucks operating on site. We have had our dinners, school homework sessions, and now schooling at home and working from home interrupted by this obnoxious illegal activity. We are unable to peacefully enjoy the use of our backyards when this activity is taking place. When residents of Oak Marsh Plantation have questioned Mr. Simmons on this repeated disturbing activity, his response has been aggressive and threatening, stating he does not care about us and suggesting we move if we don't like it. Oak Marsh Plantation has been here for over 35 years, having been developed in the early 1980's. Mr. Simmons has been cited and found guilty in a court of law for these repeated violations and currently has at least 2 new citations pending for repeated violations of operating this business. Mr. Simmons is well aware that this light industrial commercial activity is in violation of town zoning and LMO's but yet he continues to conduct such activities on this property. Representatives of the town whether a full time employee, part time employee, elected official, or volunteer committee member, are expected to and should want to act as a good representative of Hilton Head Island and conduct activities for the good of all town citizens. Town council was right in removing Mr. Simmons from his position on the Planning Commission as this commission oversees the LMO's that he is continuously violating. Mr. Simmons has not acted as nor appears to want to be a good representative for all of the town's citizens. We suggest and hope town council will continue with the decision to remove Mr. Palmer Simmons from the Planning Commission.
