COMMITTEE REPORT

May 28, 1997

S. 774

Introduced by Senator Washington

S. Printed 5/28/97--H.

Read the first time May 22, 1997.

THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 774), to request that the Department of Transportation erect directional signs at locations which are visible to the motoring public, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ERECT DIRECTIONAL SIGNS AT LOCATIONS WHICH ARE VISIBLE TO THE MOTORING PUBLIC READING "SUN CITY THIS EXIT" AND THAT THESE SIGNS MUST BE PLACED AT APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS ON INTERSTATE 95 NEAR THE INTERSECTION WITH HIGHWAY 278 IN JASPER COUNTY.

Whereas, a portion of Sun City Hilton Head is located in Jasper County; and

Whereas, Sun City is not an incorporated town but will have 8,000 homes with 16,000 residents; and

Whereas, there is no appropriate signage directing visitors to Sun City; and

Whereas, an estimated 100,000 people each year travel into and out of Sun City; and

Whereas, Sun City has agreed to pay for the costs of the manufacture and placement of the signs. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation take appropriate steps to post directional signs and that these signs must be erected in locations which are visible to the motoring public so that they can safely find their way to Sun City.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to

the Department of Transportation.
