<p>The fate of a proposed drive-thru Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant on Lady’s Island could be decided when the Beaufort County Zoning Board of Appeals meets Thursday.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Developer Graham Trask is requesting a Special Use Permit to construct a drive-thru restaurant in the T4 Neighborhood Zoning District at 131 Sea Island Parkway. Drive-thrus are allowed in the district with a Special Use Permit.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The proposal, which has carried over from January, has met with a fair amount of opposition. A number of local residents have signed a petition opposing the restaurant, and the meeting, where public comments will be heard, is expected to be crowded.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The meeting will be held at 5 p.m. at County Council Chambers at 100 Ribaut Road in Beaufort.</p>
