complete the report.
Memorial Park consists 0f6Cit'�buildings and the Library,but since the Library
we
belongs to the County and e on't have their data, I won't discuss it tonight.
First, a little back backgrounct. This proj ect was born out of grants from GEFA to im

energy upgrades and retrofits and included alternative and renewable energy
generated from the project go into a revolving loan fund and
projects. l�� sa�|n�s �e /

Finance Department by multiplying the saved kilowatt hours by the quarterly

that vveareoot jsavings,
dioxide emissions, as most of our energy here on Tybee currently comes from
burning coal and this ultimately impacts our environment.

for
o
r
a
geothermal system was installed but only th8 Library was connected.The City's
Green Team and others contrib ted to Best Practices for thermostat�e t1i o�� an d
procedural changes such as turning off lights, printers,and computers to conserve
energy. In 2012, extra grant fun ds were secured for hooking up City H
all to the
existing geothermal loop.This past summer, it was brought to the City's attention
oD
that the hook up was inst |l dVith ut a control valve, causing the variable speed
pump to run constantly.This was corrected in August.
So,now we'll look at the energy use of the builders over the last 5 years.
This is a graph showing the monthly energy use in City Ha
{l from 3010-2
0l4.T
The e
~ horizontal axis represents the D0 utbs of starting in January. Each colored e
d
e_i-1 line represents a different year The 2008"has*\ine"is shown as th blue dashed
line.The red line is the year 3810. The start of the retrofits in the late summer of
2010 is indicated by the red diamond/dot.Again,the geothermal hookup took place
r
in July of 2012 (this is the purple dot—purple is 2D12) and the 2014 control valve
correction is shown as the orange square on the orange 2014 line
.
This next graph is the same data, only we have removed 2008 and 2010 and we are
showing the year starting in June.The different colored lines a in represent
different years,but the blue dashed line indicated the "new"baseline, after the
retrofits. So, in this graph,the blue dashed line is 2011, red is 2012, and green is
2013 This allows us to see that while energy was reduced in the summer months
after the geothermal hook up,the fall and winter use was actually higher than the
"new"baseline. We know that there were (and still are) some zoning issues that
were not addressed as part of the project and there has been speculation that the
br
use of space heaters in the winter months was responsible for this increase.
Interestingly,after the valve correction (the purple dot on the 2014 line),it looks
like energy use is declining. However, we also have to remember that be inning in
December, there have been fewer City meetings in the City Hall auditorium and the
AV equipment was moved here to the Courtroom, also contributing to decreased
energy use in City Flail.
In sum, though, it's not a stretch to say that the City Hall savings have been
�

_ ' . just
baseline numbers you are seeing tonight are different from previous reports.As we
looked back, we noticed a discrepancy in the baseline numbers; these new numbers
have been verified by Georgia Power and the savings have been recalculated by the
Finance Department so you are seeing the best/correct numbers now.
This next graph shows the energy use history of the YMCA Workout building,the
()\d School/Y building and the Cafeteria.These three buildings are metered together
' - although they servadiffereothmnct1oosandhuYediffereotactivitjes. We're back to
the orig inal graph set up with months horizontally starting in January and each
colored line representing a year. The 2008 baseline again is the blue dashed line.As
with City Hall,you can see a general decrease in energy use after the 2Ol0retro�ts:
ZOO8 and 3OlO [b\oe-dasbed and red) are relatively similar and then the following
years are reduced, especially in May-October.
Looking at the totals, while there has been a similar cumulative savings,the
11,%[/\~ difference between 2008 and 2010 was a more modest 25%.Also notice that total
9- Q
energy use crep t up in 2013 and 2014. ltisdif�cultioknovvbovvto address these
~- -(
increases since,with the data we have,we can't identify individual buildings or their
use profiles.We would like to know more about this, and I'll talk about that in a few
minutes.
This next graph shows the history of the Gym and I hope it's obvious that this graph
isn't very similar to the previous ones! It's hard to detect that reduced energy
6»ys' |{J pattern.The 2008 blue-dashed baseline is hidden by a lot of variation.We'll look at
the summary...
It's well-known that the Gym has a number of problems. In 2013 and 2014 some
yq ^�
0
\I changes were made to the thermostat settings and a roof leak was fixed and there
was a 16% reduction in energy use in 2014 compared to baseline. However, also in
2014, we discovered that the 2 HVAC units on the roof were in not functioning
properly and needed to be replaced. New units have been ordered and installation
should have begun today.

we'll look at the summary ...
In 2010, 2011, and 2014 this building exceeded the 2008 baseline and thus we have
� as0Da\{ Dee8th/� s8vi���. }{ovvever, io the grand scbeoueofthiugs this represents a
��C>-"~ `
very small portion of the energy use in Memorial p ar k. It might be worth looking at
'" 13 the insulation,windows, doors, equipment and practices in this building to see if
there are areas for improvement.
In looking at the summary of all of the buildings,vve can see that iu2O14, there was
an overall 26% reduction in kilowatt hours compared to the 2008 baseline and we
'��w1 /t/ avoided putdug94o1ptrics tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Over the past 5 years,
-' � thnprNecihas generated nearly $76,000 in savings and, even though I neglected to
put this' uD the slide, { calculated ao overall avoidance of349 metric tons o{CO2
since 2010.
So what have we learned? First, energy efficiency measures can and do work.
However, inspection, monitoring and maintenance are vital. It is likely that there
| ��#»� could have been rooresavings iD City Hall i[the geotborcnolhad been installed that

' correctly
bis important that installations oee d sto b e inspected and overseen by an
independent agent, not the contractor.Another option to consider is to hire-41:-
an energy manager or to issue a performance contract so that payment
would be contingent on demonstrated energy savings.
So what are the next steps for Memorial Park? City Hall is scheduled for renovation;
theHV/\C zoning needs tobe considered.Also,vYe believe further inspection and
z "f`
(b monitoring of the geothermal system is needed. We know that the Gym was poorly
constructed and ve are beginning to get 8 b ao d}eon how to make it more efficient
.
As I mentioned,the two new heat pumps are being installed now.We have received
quotes for installing spray foam insulation in the roof and have ideas for additional
fixes.We believe that this review shows that serious scrutiny of energy use can
detect areas for improvement.To this end,we believe that we should try to
separately monitor the three buildings in the YMCA-Old School-Cafeteria complex. It
is costly to have Georgia Power meter them separately, but we have ideas for some
less expensive solutions that we hope to bring to you for approval.As an aside, we
believe a comprehensive energy tracking system or a public dashboard showing
(and water) use in all municipal buildings would be helpful to monitor use
eupr�� � /
and savings and make everyone aware of problems and successes.
Finally,the Memorial Park energy p ject has an aim to incorporate more
alternative and renewable energy sources into the mix. We hope that programs such
as Solarize Tybee and possibly new options from the state or from Geo ia Power
may make a solar project for Memorial Park feasible in the very near future.
Thank you for your attention!

Good evening Mayor and Council
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) has been approached by Tybee citizens
and City Council members in the last few months with concerns regarding ordinance
Sec. 14-060 E. - Historic Preservation —which reads,
When a permit application is submitted for any building aged 5o years or
greater, the designated city official shall notify the Tybee Island Historic
Preservation Commission (HPC)chairperson and/or HPC advisor. Prior to the
permit being issued, the HPC representative shall advise the property owner if
the property is deemed historically significant and what steps must be taken to
ensure they do not lose specific tax incentives, tax freezes and/or FEMA historic
preservation exemptions.
The primary concern that we are hearing is that section E of this ordinance will prove a
time constraint to the owner of the property by delaying the start on work planned for a
structure.We want to assure the Citizens of Tybee and City Council that this is not the
case.
The average return rate HPC to review a work permit request is 24 to 48 hours. There
have been exceptions to this; if the work permit or plans are unclear and we need
clarification or if a holiday or weekend falls between business days this may affect the
time with which HPC responds.
A secondary concern is that HPC has the right to tell a property owner that they are not
allowed to perform maintenance or make alterations/modifications to their property.
This is not true. HPC does not have the ability to make a property owner
alter their plans for their property. Our goal is to help property owners with
historic buildings by making them aware that the federal and state government will pay
a property owner, in tax incentives,to properly restore their historic building. Our goal
is to make sure that all owners of historic properties are aware of these incentives before
work is preformed to a structure that would hurt their chances of receiving these
incentives. If work being done to a historic building does not affect these incentives,
which is the case in 90%of all permits we see,we simply sign off as having reviewed the
permit and send it back to the zoning department.
The Historic Preservation Commission's goal is to protect the historical fabric and
culture of Tybee Island as well as helping Tybee Island's property owners understand
that Historic Preservation provides economic incentives through tax credits, heritage
tourism, and property resale values.
HPC's is currently working to establish local historic districts and provide the
community with a set of guidelines that will help them protect this island's historical
resources and retain Tybee's sense of place and unique cultural identity.
A draft of these guidelines can be found online after Monday January 19th and we will
be having community input meetings for each planned local historic district in the
month of February. These dates are listed on the city's calendar and a link to the
guidelines as well as the boundaries for the local districts can be found on the City's
website under Committees, Historic Preservation Committee.
I would like to remind everyone that our regularly scheduled meetings which are held on
the third Monday of every month at 6pm here in City Hall are open to the public and all
are welcome to attend.
If anyone has any questions about preservation on Tybee,tax incentives or the HPC they
can call Chantel Morton at the City or Sarah Jones at the Tybee Island Historical society.
Thank you for your time and if there are any questions I or Sarah Jones will be happy to
answer them at this time.
My name is Libby Manard. This is my husband Paul.
We are full time permanent residents at our home
at 1515 Lovell Avenue since 2008. Our property is
approx. 30 paces from the proposed outdoor seating
area of 1613 Butler (previously 1514 Lovell). We
come before you today to protest the site plan
approval requested
for the aforementioned property.
Following the acquisition of the property at 1514
Lovell, construction began on an outdoor deck area
between 1613 Butler and 1514 Lovell in early October
2014. Hearing obvious sounds of construction
every day, we looked around the properties and found
no permits posted. Nevertheless, after a few
weeks, the outdoor deck was opened and the rear
door to the business at 1613 Butler was propped open
allowing music, loud partying and karaoke to emanate
well beyond a reasonable time at night when
residents should be able to sleep in their homes.
I endured the disruption for the first week. On Nov.
8th 2014, I could no longer tolerate the nuisance.
I call the TIPD at 12:17 am and asked them to please
have the business at 1613 to please close their
back door. The following week i spoke with Diane
Schleicher and explained the situation to her.
She investigated the issue and the deck was
subsequently shut down and has been blissfully quiet
since
that time.
In my experience, past behavior is the best indication
of future behavior and the past behavior of the
aforementioned business does not speak well for the
consideration of the residents of Lovell Avenue.
We fear that if this site plan is approved it will open
up this area to future live bands, outdoor speakers,
and late night parties.
I would hope that the council would see that this site
plan would have a detrimental effect on the
immediate residential neighborhood, lowering our
property values and also our quality of life.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this
matter.

Executive Summary
Objective: 211 Butler Avenue, Tybee Island, 31328
I would like to operate a slide on the right aide of the property 211
Butler Avenue, if facing the front of the property. It would take the _
tire right hand side(Back side of current closer parking) which rneE=
sures approximately 140L x 60W. This will be great for Tybee
everyone involved and an attraction for beach goers and families on a
daily basis. Dimensions and specifications for the side can be
viewed at www.freestyleslides.com (Hippo, 4200 pounds). It is 128ft
long x 34.9ft high x 26ft wide at the widest part with the re-design
putting the staircase in front (See attached drawings). The slids
removable and is not a permanent structure. It will be blown up
everyday and be deflated every night. These slides are safe, fun, and a
great way for a fam_ ily to spend(a dQon Tybee. We will be offering
daily passes, week passes, and season passes 23 well as aingle and
double slides. We would like to host summ r camps, birthdays, chari-
ty fundraiser's and city fundraiser's throughout the season., On a busy
day, water consumption is only 400 gallons (The average daily con-
sumption of a family of 4 household) at the most which limits very mi-
nor, if any water run off. There is not continuous flow water and the
slide is only sprayed when riders are riding. The best way to :B vibe
the experience is as the biggest slip n slide that you have ever been

CHARACTER AREA: Arts,Eats, Eco-Business Corridoi0 Inland Cottage Neighborhood
APPLICATION: Site Plan Approval
PROPOSAL: The current structure at 211 Butler Avenue has commercial retail on the ground level and a eccond
story residential duplex. The applicant is seeking approval to add a commercial amusement to the property. The
proposed water slide would be located in the north end of the existing parking lot.
ANALYSIS
The 211 Butler Avenue property is zoned C-1. Section 4-050(E), C-1 Beach Business District, includes the
guideline that buildings or structures may be erected once a site plan has been reviewed by the Planning
Commission and approved by the Mayor and Council. The proposed addition of a commercial water slide at 211
Butler Avenue is subject to the requirements of Site Plan Approval(Section 5-080).
—� 3 514.5 To the north, west, and south of the subject C-1 property are residential uses with R-2 zoning. To the east across
four-lane Butler Avenue is the DeSoto complex which is zoned C-1. A Character Area boundary line bisects the
property north to south. The Character Areas are the Arts, Eats, and Eco-Business Corridor to the east, and the
Inland Cottage Neighborhood to the west. The following tables correlate the request with the Recommended
Development Strategies of the Comprehensive Plan for each Character Area.
