PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER APPLICATION QUESTIONS
1. Why do you want to be a member of the Tybee Island Planning Commission?
I've owned property on Tybee since 1990 and have observed the changes and challenges the island has
experienced over that time period. The combination of my caring for the island, technical skills, and most
important my availability now make it possible to apply to be a member of the Commission. On occasion, my
business and personal travel schedule will not allow my attendance at all Commission meetings. As required,
the appropriate people would be notified in advance.
2. What qualifies you for this position?
My interests and career have been in industrial maintenance and commercial/residential building operations,
construction and management. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering, Real Estate License (inactive), GA
Unlimited Air Conditioning License, and a 30 year career in maintenance,building operations /inspections,
design, construction, start-up, and code compliance.
3. Explain your understanding of the City of Tybee Island's Land Development Code.
The Land Development Code is Appendix A of the Tybee Island Code of Ordinances. The code provides the
zoning designations (land use options) and the details for development on Tybee Island excluding the Spanish
Hammock section of Tybee that is not part of the City. I've used the code to define building/remodeling
requirements and necessary documents for several permits directly related to my own property. I've also
researched code compliance as it related to projects that I became involved in indirectly or by requests from
other parties. I won't say that I am an expert on the code because I've not been involved in numerous projects
but would consider myself competent to use the code to find the necessary information to apply to a direct
question concerning a project.
4. In your own words,please give your opinion as to the meaning of"conflict of interest".
My definition of a conflict of interest would be my involvement in an action where my private or personal (ie:
family, friends,business activities) interests would appear, to a normal citizen, to influence the execution of my
official duties. When in doubt, state your interests for public awareness and for the record.
5. Please describe your involvement in the Tybee Island community.
I am a parishioner of Saint Michael's Catholic Church and the co-president of the Men's Club. I support local
businesses/restaurants and attend many island festivals/parades. Current member of the Tybee Island
Community Resource Committee.
