Report of Staff, Boards, Standing Committees and/or Invited Guests George Reese approached mayor and council to give the Water and Sewer Improvements Update. Mr. Reese stated that to date 350 feet has been laid. He directed mayor and council to the schedule in their packets. This diagram is also available on the web site and at city hall. He further explained that this is not affecting traffic as one lane will always be left open. Mr. Reese explained that the line switches sides of the street as you cannot have water and sewer lines run parallel to each other. He indicated that all paving will be done after the underground work is completed. Mr. Reese stated that on May 14, 2014 work will begin on force main starting at Jones Avenue and continuing to North Campbell. Ms. Schleicher clarified that there will be no sewer lines replaced on Jones Avenue where current water line work is being done. Mayor Buelterman asked Mr. Reese to explain the traffic interruption on Highway 80 concerning the construction. Mr. Reese stated that will occur in September 2014 as the season will be coming to an end and there will be less disruption regarding traffic. Sarah Jones, HPC Advisor, approached mayor and council to give a committee update (attached). She commended Chantel Morton and all those that were instrumental with their efforts as Tybee is now a Certified Local Government (attached). Mr. Wolff thanked Ms. Jones and Chantel Morton for their hard work with the certification. Mr. Garbett also thanked Ms. Jones as well as the Commission for all their hard work. Kathryn Propst approached mayor and council to give her CRC Presentation (included in the packet). Ms. Propst stated that she would like to share the Committees recommendations on sustainable practices, low carbon impact, transportation options and options for the Tybee Island Police Force. She explained the recommendations for 2015 which included comparisons and future options for cars with the police department. Mayor Buelterman thanked Ms. Propst for her presentation. Mr. Wolff thanked the Committee and Ms. Propst for all their hard work. There was a discussion regarding the Ford Fusion and other models that are being considered for purchase. Mr. Garbett also thanked Ms. Propst for her hard work. Mr. Wolff suggested that as the City moves forward, since the Passat's are in place, that the police force look at the Ford Fusion as the equipment will be standardized which will alleviate that problem as was with the Passat's. Ms. Propst confirmed. Consideration of Bids, Contracts, Agreements and Expenditures Lease Agreement, Cell Antenna, AT&T. Mr. Hughes stated that AT&T is adding three antennas to the water tower on Butler Avenue and this is an amendment to acknowledge the addition. He further explained that in the packet is the redlined version as they have not forwarded the clean version. Ms. Otto stated that the application for the permit is being review by Mr. Anderson, Chatham County. Mr. Callahan asked if it is premature to address this item. Mr. Hughes stated that if approved he would recommend it would carry conditions that it would be approved by staff. He also confirmed that the City would not be violating our lease agreement. No action taken. Deferred to May 22, 2014. Paul Wolff made a motion to approve the consent agenda. Rob Callahan seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0. Public Hearings Site Plan Approval & Special Review — consideration of expansion of municipal building; City of Tybee Island, 402 Jones Avenue. Zone P-C; PIN 4-0004-21-001. Ms. Otto stated the vote by the Planning Commission was 4-0 to approve. Mayor Buelterman stated that during the expansion of the restrooms there will be portable restrooms available for the public. The new restrooms with be ADA compliant and will extend toward the volleyball courts. Bill Garbed made a motion to approve. Rob Callahan seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0. Variance — consideration of porch roof — Mark Waller, 17 Shirley Road. Zone R-2; PIN 4-0006-06-008. Ms. Otto approached mayor and council stating this is a variance at 17 Shirley Road and owned by Mr. Waller. He has a residence with an awning with a canvas cover and is requesting to replace with a constructed roof. She further explained that this is now a non-conforming structure and will not be an expansion into the set-back. Planning Commission heard this and the vote was 4-0 to approve. Mr. Wolff confirmed with Ms. Otto that this is not increasing the encroachment just putting a roof on the existing site. Rob Callahan made a motion to approve. Monty Parks seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0. Site Plan Approval — consideration of temporary structure; Susan Kelleher, 1207 Hwy. 80 #D. Zone C-2; PIN 4-0026-02-008, -009 and -010. Ms. Otto approached mayor and council stating there is a revised site plan included in their packet as requested by the Planning Commission. This added some of the ADA walkways that had not been shown previously. She stated that the Planning Commissions motion was to approve with the stipulation that an updated drawing be provided which was accomplished and the vote was 4-0. Mr. Parks asked Ms. Otto if there was another instance on the Island that could be compared to this request as it is unique. Ms. Otto replied that it is a temporary structure which could be compared to the trailer at Gerald's Bar-be-que site and to the ice machine on Butler Avenue. These are all structures with quick disconnects which are to be removed from the Island within 90 minutes should an event occur. Mr. Parks then asked if there is any limit of trailers that could be place on the site. Ms. Otto replied that if a structure be proposed it would be back through the site plan approval process for consideration. She clarified that this does not propose any outdoor seating and does not trigger additional parking requirements. Ms. Otto added that the restroom facility is located on the outside of the existing large building and has been reviewed by the building official. It was determined that there is not adequate space within the restroom to install the sink and still maintain the ADA compliant turning radius. She further explained that it has been proposed that the sink would be located on the outside of the building which may result in a roof structure over the sink. This is not shown on the plan. Ms. Doyle stated that when the bathroom was built it was not for public use and that is the reason it is not ADA compliant. She does not feel an outside sink is appropriate. Mr. Wolff asked Ms. Otto if they expanded the bathroom and roof, the owner consider a complete expansion to include a wall around the larger area, would there be encroachment issues. Ms. Otto responded there would not be encroached issues if it were located to the south of the end of the building. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Otto if the restroom is required. Ms. Otto confirmed and stated there is not adequate interior space for an ADA restroom to include a sink. She explained that the sink does not necessarily need to be covered but sheltered which is ideal. Mayor Buelterman asked if it is a requirement by ADA that it be sheltered. Ms. Otto stated no. Mr. Brown asked if the health department allowed an outside sink. Ms. Otto stated yes. Ms. Doyle asked Ms. Otto when the law changed to require a bathroom as when the building was built there was not a bathroom as there were bathrooms in the adjoining shops where Sea Side Sisters is located. Ms. Otto responded that this is a restaurant type service that is regulated by the health department and is required to have a restroom facility. Susan Kelleher approached mayor and council to answer any questions. Ms. Kelleher explained there are two businesses, Sea Side Sisters and Sea Side Sweets (new business) and with the trailer, according to the health department, the only restroom required is for employees and does not have to be ADA compliant. Ms. Kelleher stated that she requested to make an ADA compliant bathroom for possible future placement of tables and chairs on the site. She explained that in speaking with the health department they stated a sink could be placed on the outside of the bathroom as long as there was a covering. Ms. Kelleher has chosen to have a walk-up food service trailer and does not need to have an ADA compliant bathroom. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Kelleher whether she has to or not, would she still put in the sink with a cover or would she not do it if she didn't have to. Ms. Kelleher responded she would like to as it will be nice to have an outside sink. Mr. Brown stated that he does not feel that even with the sink removed from the bathroom there will be a 5' turning radius. Ms. Kelleher stated that it has been measured and they will meet the requirement. She once again confirmed that it is her plan to have everything ADA compliant. Mr. Brown confirmed that both structures are sitting on one lot and would a drainage plan be required. Ms. Otto responded no as the trailer will stay on the wheels and will be treated as the containers that were installed in the adjoining lot as they were elevated with rock under them and the water pattern has not changed. Mr. Parks confirmed the previous conversation as there is no additional lighting; no additional garbage cans required; and no additional signage. Ms. Kelleher confirmed. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Otto if there is a covering over the sink, will it encroach into the set-backs. Ms. Otto responded no if the covering is to the south of the door to the restroom. Paul Wolff made a motion to approve the site plan for the trailer and the addition of a roof to the restroom over the sink provided it does not encroach into the set-back. Monty Parks seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0. Site Plan Approval — consideration of storage building — Barry Brown, 1105 Hwy 80; Zone C-2; PIN 4-0026-03-006. Barry Brown recused. Ms. Otto approached mayor and council and stated this request is in the C-2 Zone and at Vicki's Restaurant. It is the desire of the owner to build a storage building in the northwest corner of the property. The Planning Commission's consideration of this request resulted in a motion to approve with a vote of 4-0. Mr. Brown approached mayor and council as the petitioner of this request. Mr. Brown confirmed that the building would be built to Code Bill Garbett made a motion to approve. Paul Wolff seconded. Vote was unanimous, 5-0. Site Plan Approval and Minor Subdivision of Land o consideration of ATM; Keo`ch Gay, 715 First Street; Zone C-2; PIN 4-0003-02-019 and -020. Ms. Otto approached mayor and council stating that this is both site plan approval and subdivision of land request. She explained that at the current location of the ice machine and billboard there is now proposed an ATM installation. This is currently two lots of records as the billboard is on a vacant lot and the other lot holds the ice machine. Ms. Otto stated that the proposed location of the ATM is on the existing property line. Therefore, before mayor and council is a request to grant site plan approval for the ATM and approve relocation of the property line to the east. In that way the billboard would still be on its own vacant lot. She stated that the Planning Commission's vote was 4-0 to approve. Mr. Garbett asked Ms. Otto that when the lot is subdivided, does the lot become a substandard lot of record. He asked why the lots could not be combined into one lot. Mr. Hughes responded that this property is in the C-2 Zone and there is no minimum lot size so there is no creation of a substandard lot of record. He stated that the recombination would involve creating a situation where it would be non-conforming due to the sign ordinance signed by mayor and council in 2013. Mr. Hughes agreed that this would be the best solution. Mayor Buelterman read a portion of the existing ordinance and asked Ms. Otto if that was correct. Ms. Otto confirmed. Mr. Wolff stated that existing billboards are grandfathered. Ms. Schleicher agreed and added that if there is another structure on the site you cannot have a billboard. Mr. Hughes stated that billboards under the City's ordinance are effectively defined as an off premises sign and not a sign for the business that is located at the location where the billboard is. He further explained that you can have a building with a sign but it will not be a billboard sign as it would have to meet the dimension requirements for an on premises sign. By requiring that they only be allowed with a principal structure, you have effectively eliminated billboards except those that currently exist. Mr. Wolff suggested the ATM be moved to the back to within 6' of the property line and angle it. Access could be from the west side, drive to the ATM and exit behind the billboard. Ms. Otto replied that access is not an issue and it is the intent of the engineer not for the ATM to be a drive through as it is proposed as a walk-up machine. She stated that the City Engineer, Downer Davis, has reviewed and there are maneuverability issues with it that the applicant is not concerned with as there will be a low volume of use at the lot. Mr. Callahan confirmed with Ms. Otto that part of the proposal is to flip flop the entrance and exit. Keith Gay approached mayor and council. Mr. Gay stated that he does not have resistance to making the suggested modification. He stated that usually there are not more than one or two cars at any time at the location and not a lot of stacking. Mr. Gay addressed the access and safety issues with the proposed entrance and exit. Barry Brown made a motion to approve. Wanda Doyle seconded. Discussion: Ms. Otto as for clarification regarding the motion. Mayor Buelterman stated that the sense of the motion is to approve what Mr. Gay feels best as this is a good service to the Island. Mr. Garbett asked if the motion was to include not only the site plan approval and the subdivision of the lot. Mr. Brown confirmed. Vote was unanimous, 6-0. Site Plan Approval ® consideration of commercial business; William Campbell, 404 Butler Avenue; Zone C-1; PIN 4-0024-20-161. Ms. Otto approached mayor and council stating that 404 Butler is located across the street from city hall at Beachside Colony and within the parking garage it is requested that business be allowed to use the space as a moped rental. There are three designated parking spaces for the project and there are onsite restrooms available for customers. Ms. Otto directed mayor and council to diagrams within their packets. She explained that the location will be beyond the propane tanks toward the rear area. Mayor Buelterman referred to the Planning Commission minutes where it was indicated that the fire marshal inspect the site. Ms. Otto responded that the fire marshal did visit the site and required bollards be installed around the propane tanks. She stated that the tanks are currently being used for dryers on site and there will be no issues when the tanks are refilled. The Planning Commission voted 4-0 to approve with the stipulation that the fire marshal visit the site and conduct an inspection. Mr. Parks asked if there is additional lighting being considered for the site as well as signage. Ms. Otto stated that she is not aware of any lighting and signage would be included on the directory board on site. Mr. Parks then asked if there would be an additional stop at the end of the location to prevent cars hitting the wall. Ms. Otto read an email from the fire marshal (attached) where he is requiring a vehicle barrier be added and they owners cannot dispense fuel inside the garage. William Campbell approached mayor and council. Mr. Campbell stated that the bollards have been ordered and will be on site Monday, May 12, 2014. He then addressed the lighting and stated that there are no plans for additional lighting. Mr. Wolff asked if these are moped with peddles and not like scooters. Mr. Campbell responded that a scooter is defined as something greater than a 50cc and a moped is at 49cc or less. Mr. Wolff asked Mr. Campbell the hours of operation. Mr. Campbell responded they would open at 9:00AM and close at 8:00PM, eleven hours of operation and operate seasonally. He also stated that he has worked closely with the Homeowners Association and they have a working agreement. He is projecting that 10 mopeds will always be on display and he maintains his inventory in Savannah which is conducive to moving mopeds on the Island as needed. Mr. Wolff asked if this was going to be a supply and demand operation. Mr. Campbell confirmed. Mr. Brown asked if Mr. Campbell will provide a safety course for the patrons. Mr. Campbell outlined his safety course in detail which includes hands on instruction. Mayor Buelterman confirmed with Mr. Campbell that every person, no matter how busy they are, will receive the same hands on safety training prior to rental. Mr. Campbell stated yes as general instructions and "how to" are required by his insurance. He assured mayor and council that customers have been turned down from renting the mopeds due to his staff concerns. He continued to explain that all transactions will be credit card only and there will be a delivery service if needed which will preclude parking issues. Mr. Parks asked Ms. Otto, if mayor and council approved this application and Mr. Campbell were to sell the business, what would preclude the new owner from renting golf carts. Mr. Hughes stated that the only thing that could be rented is something that could drive on Butler Avenue as golf carts are not allowed by ordinance. Mr. Campbell clarified that he is partnered with the Homeowners Association and if he were to sell his business, they would have to approve the use. Ms. Otto stated that the primary customers of this business will be the tenants and visitors of Beachside Colony. Mr. Campbell confirmed. Mr. Brown asked Mr. Campbell if at any time he was going to turn this into a taxi service. Mr. Campbell stated no. Mr. Parks then asked what would preclude him from doing this. Ms. Doyle stated that the Homeowners Association would need to approve a change in the use. Mr. Hughes stated that if there is a change of use, there would need to be a business license showing the change which would require approval. Mr. Campbell assured mayor and council that he has no intentions of using this business as a taxi service. Mr. Callahan asked Mr. Hughes if the motion could restrict the use to just scooters. Mr. Hughes responded the site plan is more of an entitlement and an information device than is special review. The ability of mayor and council to impose conditions on motions regarding site plans is limited at best. Mr. Garbett confirmed that the petitioner is asking for a site plan approval for a rental business at the location and if low speed vehicles are included as taxis he has no problem and would it be allowed if approved. Mr. Hughes responded the site review standard is low and is in place as an educational tool. Wanda Doyle made a motion to approve with the stipulations as laid out by the fire marshal. Barry Brown seconded. Voting in favor were Paul Wolff, Rob Callahan, Wanda Doyle, Barry Brown and Bill Garbett. Voting against was Monty Parks. Motion carried 5-1. Text Amendment — 29-2014 - consideration of residential driveways — Section 3- 080; Off-street Parking Requirements. Wanda Doyle recused. Dianne Otto approached mayor and council stating this text amendment is first reading and will be back in front of them on May 22, 2014. Mayor Buelterman added that the Planning Commission's intentions are to keep the ordinance as it is, meet with mayor and council, and the vote was to deny striking the reference to 1" water testing. Ms. Otto confirmed. Mayor Buelterman recommended that mayor and council hold a joint workshop with the Planning Commission. Mr. Parks stated that if mayor and council were to agree with the strikeout of Section 5, would that allow a resident to use shredded asphalt shingle, shredded tires, oyster shells or any material desired. Ms. Otto confirmed. Keith Gay approached mayor and council. Mr. Gay stated he would like to address C-1 driveway opening and is in total agreement with the ordinance. He described the many driveways down the Izlar, Silver, T.S. Chu, and 17th Place to include any alleys in the C-1 district and asked Ms. Otto, if he had a commercial piece of property that is beyond a duplex, such as a four-plex, would he now be required have only 25 feet of access or 2-15 foot entries. He stated that where you have a commercial district such as we have now, the City needs to provide an alternative as two 15' entries into a four-plex is maddening. Mr. Gay would encourage mayor and council to look at the ordinance as it relates to commercial property. He stated that if this proposed ordinance is passed there is no provision for a residential/commercial, four or more units, as it relates to the access. Mr. Gay recommended that there be pavers to the street as in most of those instances would be safer for access. Ms. Otto responded that the type of new construction in C-1, all developments require site plan approval, and pavers would be approved at the time of the approval process. Mr. Brown stated that at one time there were no guidelines in the C-1 for the width of driveways. Mr. Gay made reference to a current project at 15 17th Place as the owner came in to get a permit to install pavers and as a result pavers were installed on 25' on one side of the property which services two units of the building and the other side is a 4-5' space that has gravel up to the pavers and into the building. This being the exception. Mayor Buelterman stated that pavers do make things look better on the Island especially in the commercial district. Mr. Gay stated that this is C-1 district, multi-dwell, and in these situations there should be an exception and that would be in the best interest of the City. Mr. Parks stated that during the Planning Commission meeting there was reference to asphalt at the Public Safety Building but what is before mayor and council is reference to residential and the scope of what is being considered is residential. Ms. Otto confirmed. Mr. Parks stated that the driveways on Tybee do not represent more than 1/1000 of 1% of the total land area and 1/1000 of 1% represents a table much the size that he is sitting at and he wanted to be on record that it is not accurate. Mr. Garbett stated he would like to be provided with data to show benefits of pervious pavers on the undeveloped lots currently on Tybee. He expressed his concerns with the expense of installing pervious pavers and would still like to see the data showing the reduction in pollutants. Mr. Garbett would recommend a meeting with the Planning Commission to revisit the ordinance that was rejected as he feels if the City is to have an ordinance that was an excellent ordinance. Eddie Shepherd approached mayor and council stating that he supplied mayor and council all the data that comes from the Stormwater Manual which references the permeable pavers requirements to include a letter from an architect stating that none of the requirements are applicable. Mr. Sheppard referenced Mr. Parks driveway in that if he wanted to put oyster shells down would be fine if data could be provided that organic material does not make an impact on the environment. He stated that the City does not need more opinions regarding what is good and what is not but need documentation in supporting data for a position and as far as he is concerned he has provided that right out of the manual. Mr. Sheppard again reiterated the fact that documentation and scientific facts are needed to back their position. Mayor Buelterman thanked Mr. Sheppard for all his research. Mr. Wolff agreed with Mr. Garbett as there are several cost effective options. He explained that Downer Davis and Ms. Otto worked together doing the math on how much this would help the Stormwater system. One of the lines of reasoning from years past was the current residents and had driveways of whatever material had already paid for being on the Island, the infrastructure was in place and the infrastructure needed updating. Every new driveway that was added, that was impermeable, was adding to the drainage issue Island wide and forcing everyone else to pay for the improvements to the infrastructure. Mr. Wolff stated that over time the City has spent millions of dollars on Stormwater management where more Stormwater was captured and the additional impervious surface that has been added to the Island over the last ten years is exasperated somewhat by the system. He stated that Mr. Davis is the engineer and has done the math and he confirmed the language in the ordinance that passed first reading would hold the first inch of Stormwater and would be a significant improvement over concrete or asphalt or any other impermeable surface. Mr. Brown expressed his concerns with the maintenance of pavers. Mayor Buelterman recommended that mayor and council meet with the Planning Commission to discuss an ordinance that would work best for the Island. Monty Parks made a motion to meet with Planning Commission to discuss ordinance. Paul Wolff seconded. Vote was unanimous, 5-0. No action taken on the proposed ordinance. Text Amendment — consideration of swimming pool, spa and sauna requirements — Section 3-190, Swimming Pool Requirements and Placement. Mayor Buelterman stated that the proposed ordinance is to mandate, whether it is a spa, pool or sauna, the water would be discharged into the sewage system. Ms. Otto stated that within a prior Land Development Code within the Stormwater Management Ordinance was a proposal to remove swimming pools from the list of exemptions but that did not state where or what to do with the swimming pool waters. Before mayor and council is strictly to clarify by putting in this ordinance staff can specifically deal with the contractors. Ms. Doyle asked Ms. Otto if a resident was to backwash a pool, the water, a small amount of water, they could not put it onto their grass. Ms. Otto stated that the decision would be amongst mayor and council. She further explained that the intent is for the draining of the pools. Mr. Garbett stated that it is his understanding the intent of the proposed ordinance is that all discharges go into the sanitary sewer system as chlorinated water cannot be dumped into the marsh as the proposed ordinance has stated. Mayor Buelterman asked for clarification from Ms. Otto. Ms. Otto responded that all water would have to go into the sanitary sewer. He then asked for clarification regarding salt water pools. Mr. Garbett responded that a salt water pool is another means to chlorinate a pool and does not mean you are swimming in the ocean. Mr. Wolff agreed with Mr. Garbett as it is an important issue as residents do not need to be dumping chlorinated water near the marsh. If it is a small amount of water, you can run a hose to the bathtub or a shower drain or whichever is convenient. Ms. Doyle disagreed with Mr. Wolff explaining that you could not use a hose due to the location of the bathroom in regards to the pool. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Otto if this is first reading or second reading. Ms. Otto responded it is first reading. Mayor Buelterman recommended that between first and second reading more information is provided regarding different options for draining pools so there is clarity. Mr. Parks stated that when this was researched by Planning Commission, several coastal communities have very strict restrictions regarding the discharge waters. These communities did allow the resident to backwash small quantities into flower beds and/or on the lawn. Mr. Callahan stated that he suspected that most existing swimming pools are discharging into the Stormwater system currently. He would also ask for data to the harm of the marsh. Mayor Buelterman recommended that mayor and council craft an ordinance to allow residents to take reasonable amounts and not have to retrofit their pools, saunas and spas when they are backwashing. Ms. Otto clarified that swimming pool water has already been removed from the allowed Stormwater management exemptions and this is further clarity to move to the swimming pool ordinance. Mayor Buelterman asked Mr. Parks to bring any information that he has regarding other coastal communities and their requirements. He agreed. Keith Gay approached mayor and council. He stated that most of the pools are already retrofitted to empty into the sewer system. Mr. Gay then asked for clarification regarding hot tubs as there are hundreds of hot tubs on the Island. These are drained weekly for health purposes and is this the intent of the proposed ordinance? Mr. Wolff stated that it is the intent as they are heavily chlorinated. Mr. Gay responded that if a resident has a hot tub in the back yard and the sewer line is in the front yard, will the resident be required to drain to the sewer. Mr. Wolff confirmed. Mr. Gay expressed his concerns regarding the potential stress to the sewer system with all the discharge from the pools. Mayor Buelterman suggested that mayor and council delay this to review further information and have a recommendation to address hot tubs as well as concerns with the backwash. There would also be a threshold that would allow certain amounts of discharges. Mr. Hughes clarified that the EPD mandates that you cannot discharge into the storm water system. Bill Garbett made a motion to continue until July 10, 2014. Monty Parks seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0. Consideration of Ordinances and Resolutions Second Reading, 30-2014, Sec 66-135, Definitions, Parking spaces. Wanda Doyle made a motion to approve. Monty Parks seconded. Discussion: Ms. Otto stated that this is for public parking and not for private development. Vote was unanimous, 6-0. Rob Callahan made a motion to adjourn. Bill Garbett seconded. Vote was unanimous.
