In addition to specific requirements for the above permits and approvals, applicants must
demonstrate that they are in compliance with the City of Tybee Island Storm Water Management
requirements as outlined in Chapter 5 -4, Code of Ordinances.
Section 5 -4 -9 Prohibition provides, in part, as follows:
(4.) It is unlawful for any person to cause or permit any storm water to flow from their
property onto the property of another person, unless such storm water naturally
flowed thereon prior to any development activity.
(5.) It is unlawful for any person to interrupt the flow of any storm water runoff from
adjacent property onto their property by any development activity.
As part of the City's approval process applicants must illustrate how these storm water
management prohibitions will be met, including a showing of how storm water naturally flowed
on the affected property (prior to any development activity), and what changes in storm water
flow have occurred or are expected to occur, as attachments to this form. The City's approval or
permit does not guarantee that the applicant's plans will result in meeting requirements. The final
product must actually meet the Ci Ordinance requirements.

apply unless specifically referenced in the adopting ordinance.
R102.6 Partial invalidity. In the event any part or provision of

ture existing on the date of adoption of this code shall be per-
mitted to continue without change, except as is specifically

arise, subject to the approval of the appointing authority.
R104.5 Identification. The building official shall carry proper
identification when inspecting structures or premises in the
performance of duties under this code.
R104.6 Right of entry. Where it is necessary to make an in-
spection to enforce the provisions of this code, or where the
building official has reasonable cause to believe that there ex-
ists in a structure or upon a premises a condition which is con-
trary to or in violation of this code which makes the structure or
premises unsafe, dangerous or hazardous, the building official
or designee is authorized to enter the structure or premises at
reasonable times to inspect or to perform the duties imposed by

pied that credentials be presented to the occupant and entry re-
quested. If such structure or premises be unoccupied, the build-
ing official shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the

official shall have recourse to the remedies provided by law to
secure entry.

R104.8 Liability. The building official, member of the board
of appeals or employee charged with the enforcement of this
code, while acting for the jurisdiction in good faith and without
malice in the discharge of the duties required by this code or
other pertinent law or ordinance, shall not thereby be rendered
liable personally and is hereby relieved from personal liability
for any damage accruing to persons or property as a result of

ployee because of an act performed by that officer or employee
in the lawful discharge of duties and under the provisions of this

by the building official.
8104.10 Modifications. Wherever there are practical difficul-
ties involved in carrying out the provisions of this code, the
building official shall have the authority to grant modifications
for individual cases, provided the building official shall first
find that special individual reason makes the strict letter of this
code impractical and the modification is in compliance with the
intent and purpose of this code and that such modification does
not lessen health, life and fire safety requirements or structural.
The details of action granting modifications shall be recorded
and entered in the files of the department of building safety.

not intended to prevent the installation of any material or to pro-
hibit any design or method of construction not specifically pre-
scribed by this code, provided that any such alternative has
been approved. An alternative material, design or method of
construction shall be approved where the building official finds
that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the
intent of the provisions of this code, and that the material, meth-
od or work offered is, for the purpose intended, at least the
equivalent of that prescribed in this code. Compliance with the
specific performance -based provisions of the International
