This determination is based on the fact that the variance was approved by City Council on June 8, 2006 and an application for bulkhead approval began on May 15, 2007 (less than one year from the variance approval date). The DNR approval letter was issued on November 26, 2007, and the Bulkhead Permit from the City of Tybee Island was issued on December 24, 2007. It should be noted that the contractor was informed that silt fence must be installed during construction; however, a request for a silt fence inspection was never received by the City. When the contractor contacted the City Marshal, he (the contractor) was told the silt fence was not necessary for this project. Further research will be conducted to ascertain the City Marshal's reason for waiving soil and erosion control procedures (that are included as part of the bulkhead construction plans) on a project within 200' of state waters. To date, the bulkhead has not been inspected by the City of Tybee Island. Building plans must be received by May 15, 2008 to avoid further action. 1 CITY OF TYBEE ISLAND BUILDING PERMIT DATE ISSUED: 12 -24 -2007 PERMIT #: 070542 WORK DESCRIPTION: WORK LOCATION: BULKHEAD 12 TERESA LN OWNER NAME STEVE SIMS ADDRESS 3743 NORTH BANK RD CITY, ST, ZIP MILLERSPORT OH 43046 PHONE NUMBER CONTRACTOR NAME JACOBS BUILDERS INC ADDRESS P 0 BOX 1150 CITY STATE ZIP RICHMOND HILL GA 31324 FLOOD ZONE BUILDING VALUATION SQUARE FOOTAGE OCCUPANCY TYPE P TOTAL FEE'S CHARGED $ 55.00 PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION # PROJECT VALUATION $5,000.00 TOTAL BALANCE DUE: $ 55.00 It is understood that if this permit is granted the builder will at all times comply with the zoning, subdivision, flood control, building, fire, soil and sedimentation, wetlands, marshlands protection and shore protection ordinances and codes whether local, state or federal, including all environmental laws and regulations when applicable, subsequent owners should be informed that any alterations to the property must be approved by the issuance of another building permit.
