clarify the research on plastic bags endangering sea turtles. She explained that the
data is not there and the sea turtles are not dying from single use plastic bags. There

some turtles but it is not proven from the single use plastic bags. Ms. Smith further
stated that single use plastic bags are not affecting the nesting population with the sea
turtles.
20150514CityCouncilPacket Page 7 of 173 20150518/jrl
Freda Rutherford approached mayor and council to speak in favor of the ban on
plastic bags.
Mike Hosti, Tybee Island IGA, approached mayor and council to ask they do not
support the banning of the plastic bags. He stated that he does not feel that banning
the plastic bags on the local level will solve the problem as it needs to be done on the
state level.
Rich Hammons approached mayor and council to ask they do not support the banning
of plastic bags. He applauds the energy that went into the crafting of the ordinance but
would ask mayor and council to not approve.
Catherin Propst approached mayor and council to respond to Ms. Smith's
proclamation that single use plastic bags are not dangerous to sea turtles as there is
evidence they are. She would ask mayor and council to approve the banning of plastic
bags.
Carol Massa, SCAD Student, approached mayor and council to speak in favor of
banning single use plastic bags.
Mike Flores, TS Chu, approached mayor and council to speak against the banning of
plastic bags.
Dave Ason, Jr. approached mayor and council to speak. He stated that the problem
could be most effectively be addressed by vigorously enforcing the ordinance against
littering that is currently in place.
Michael Fagan approached mayor and council to speak against the banning of plastic
bags.
Paul Wolff made a motion to approve the consent agenda. Rob Callahan seconded. Vote
was unanimous, 6-0.

20150514CityCouncilPacket Page 8 of 173 20150518/jrl
the Planning Commission look at the non-profits, i.e., Tybee Island Marine Science
Center, regarding signs and murals. Ms. Schleicher stated she will move forward with
notifying the Planning Commission. Mr. Parks stated he would like to go on record as
this is a complicated addition and is the type of writing mayor and council have been
trying to avoid. Voting in favor were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Wanda Doyle, Barry
Brown and Bill Garbett. Voting against was Rob Callahan. Motion carried 5-1.
First Reading, 14-2015, Sec 42-4, Bag Ordinance. Mayor Buelterman clarified
previous conversations as to whether this would be on the agenda for "Discussion Only"
or for first reading. After a discussion with the city attorney, it was recommended that
Ordinance 14-2015 would be for first reading. Mayor Buelterman stated that if approved
for first reading, second reading would be May 28, 2015. Mayor pro tem Doyle stated
that she appreciates all the hard work the CRC does and understands Ms. Propst' s
passion but she has a passion as well, a passion for the Island and a passion for all the
businesses on the Island. Mayor pro tem Doyle stated that she has spent an enormous
amount of time researching alternatives to the ban on single use plastic bags. She
outlined the current litter ordinance and explained that the enforcement of litter is
progressing very well as there are five interns in place to assist the Tybee Island Police
Department with enforcement. Further, the Public Safety Committee is working closely
with the police department to prepare for the upcoming season. Mayor pro tem Doyle
addressed recycling and recommended the City set up a plastic recycling program which
would include all plastics. She is currently looking for a partner in this venture. Mayor
pro tem Doyle showed forms from the local businesses that are not in favor of the
single use plastic bag ban. Mr. Wolff stated that coastal communities have a
responsibility to do everything within their power to protect marine life and that is what
the proposed ordinance is about. He stated he does support recycling efforts of every
description and the proposed ordinance is not a burden to businesses as it will serve as
a marketing tool. Mr. Wolff explained that the local businesses, by this ordinance, have
the ability to either sell alternative bags made of recyclable paper or recyclable
materials or reusable bags. He further stated that by asking the local businesses to
post a sign is an "on site" marketing tool for them and will let visitors know they are
environmentally friendly and support the community and the environment and doing
what they can to protect our resources. Paul Wolff made a motion to approve. Bill
Garbett seconded. Discussion: Mr. Brown stated that after a recent beach sweep,
the comments from the employees are that there were very little plastic bags that they
deal with on the beach. Most of the litter is trash, cans, and cigarette butts. Mr.
Garbett responded that plastic bags are uniquely harmful in that there are basically
indestructible and an uncanny ability to travel by air, sea, and land as they do not stay
on the beach. Paper bags degrade and plastic bags are much more damaging to the
20150514CityCouncilPacket Page 9 of 173 20150518/jrl
environment than paper and biodegradable materials. Mayor Buelterman clarified that
if first reading is approved the proposed ordinance would come before mayor and
council on May 14, 2015 and people would still have the opportunity to speak. Voting
in favor were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Rob Callahan, and Bill Garbett. Voting against
were Wanda Doyle and Barry Brown. Motion carried 4-2.
Council, Officials and City Attorney Considerations and Comments

Paul Wolff made a motion to adjourn. Rob Callahan seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.

STAFF REPORT
411Pel P LANNING COMMISSION MEETING: April 20, 2015
� `MCITY COUNCIL MEETING: May 14, 2015
LOCATION: 1812 Butler Ave. PIN: 4-0009-07-005A
APPLICANT: Jeffrey A. Cramer OWNER: Robert Handelman
EXISTING USE: Single Family Residential PROPOSED USE: Single Family Residential
ZONING: R-2 USE PERMITTED BY RIGHT: yes
COMMUNITY CHARACTER MAP: South End Neighborhood
APPLICATION: Zoning Variance(5-090) from Section 3-090 (Schedule of Development Regulations).
PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting approval of setback variances for construction of an elevator shaft within
the side setback of an R-2 lot. A 5' variance is required to construct the elevator so the owner can access the
existing residential structure without using the stairs.
ANALYSIS: The elevator shaft is proposed to be located on the north side yard of the house, which is located 10
feet from the property line. The elevator shaft will be 5 feet wide and will require a variance from the 10 foot side
yard setback requirement.
The general character of the area surrounding this lot is residential. The south end parking area is located to the
south of this property,and a townhome development is located across the street.
The dimensions of this lot are approximately 128-feet by 80 feet. The square footage is 10,240. The minimum lot
size in the R-2 district is 4,500 square feet.The"hardship"definition of Section 5-090(A)reads:
(1) That there are unique physical circumstances or conditions beyond that of surrounding properties,
including a substandard lot of record that existed prior to March 24, 1971 (See Section 3-040);
irregularity, narrowness, or shallowness of the lot size or shape, or exceptional topographical or other
physical conditions, or considerations related to the environment, or to safety, or to historical
significance, that is peculiar to the particular property; and;
(2) Because of such physical circumstances or conditions or considerations--, the property cannot be
developed in strict conformity with the provisions of this Land Development Code, without undue
hardship to the property.
The required building setbacks for lots zoned R-2 are 20-feet front and 10-feet back and sides. The applicant is
requesting approval of setback variances for construction on an elevator shaft where the building abuts the setback
line.The proposed use is in keeping with the R-2 zoning district as outlined in Section 4-050(C):
The purpose of this district is to provide for affordable development of single family and duplex style
development. This district is intended for medium density residential developments that are quiet and
livable. .
The City's engineer has visited the site on March 30, 2015, and has reviewed the plans and has stated that
construction of the elevator shaft would not adversely affect drainage on this site.

20150514CityCouncilPacket Page 12 of 173 20150518/01
The Comprehensive Plan describes the South End Neighborhood as follows:
The character of this area is defined by a mix of primarily residential uses with a growing number of
vacation rentals in both single and duplex houses. The area is mainly defined by is proximity to the South
End Beach and the commercial area of the Strand. There are a growing number of year round residential
as well as seasonal rental uses.
The proposed single-family dwelling meets the only applicable Recommended Development Strategy outlined in
the Comprehensive Plan, Section 1.2.13, South End Neighborhood. The other three strategies are more appropriate
for historic structures, municipal projects, or new construction and are not reflective of the consistency of this
project with the Comprehensive Plan.
Comprehensive Plan—Community Character Area
North Beach Neighborhood—Section 1.2.9
Meets
Recommended Development Strategies Strategy
YIN or N/A
1. Future development and redevelopment should be very pedestrian oriented with safe N/A
connections to adjacent neighborhoods and commercial areas.
2. New development,redevelopment and restoration should be consistent with existing character Y
of the area in terms of mass,scale,use and density.
3. Historic structures should be restored and or preserved whenever possible. N/A
4. Continue to implement improvements to encourage safe pedestrian mobility. N/A
STAFF FINDING
The future elevator shaft is proposed for the north side of building,which is constructed directly adjacent to the 10'
set back line, necessitating a variance for its construction. The proposed addition of the elevator shaft is not
considered detrimental to the character of the surrounding neighborhood.

STAFF REPORT
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: April 20, 2015
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: May 14, 2014
LOCATION: Lot 10 Robinson Ave. (at Sprucewood Ave.) PIN: 4-0002-08-005
APPLICANT: Francis Bishop Wiley OWNER: Mack James Builders,LLC
EXISTING USE: vacant lot PROPOSED USE: new single-family dwelling
ZONING: R-1 USE PERMITTED BY RIGHT: yes
COMMUNITY CHARACTER MAP: North Beach Neighborhood
APPLICATION: Zoning Variance (5-090) from Section 3-090(Schedule of Development Regulations).
PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting approval of a front setback variance for construction on a vacant R-1 lot.
ANALYSIS: A Variance application was submitted and approved by the Planning Commission for this property at
the January 20, 2015 meeting and approved by City Council at the February 12, 2015. The applicant is seeking an
additional variance from the approved 18ft setback line on the front of the lot to 10 feet from the front of the lot to
allow for the construction of additional front stairs and a handicap lift.
The general character of the area surrounding this lot is residential. The parking area for a residential bed and
breakfast is to the east at the end of Robinson Avenue.Property occupied by the American Legion is nearby.
The dimensions of this lot are approximately 65-feet by 53-feet.The square footage is 3,457.The minimum lot size
in the R-1 district is 12,000 square feet.The"hardship"definition of Section 5-090(A)reads:
(1) That there are unique physical circumstances or conditions beyond that of surrounding properties,
including a substandard lot of record that existed prior to March 24, 1971 (See Section 3-040);
irregularity, narrowness, or shallowness of the lot size or shape, or exceptional topographical or other
physical conditions, or considerations related to the environment, or to safety, or to historical
significance, that is peculiar to the particular property;and;
(2) Because of such physical circumstances or conditions or considerations, the property cannot be
developed in strict conformity with the provisions of this Land Development Code, without undue
hardship to the property.
The required building setbacks for lots zoned R-1 are 20-feet front and back, and 10-feet sides. The variance
application currently approved for this property allowed for the following: 18-feet front/south, 9.5-feet
rear/north, 11.7-feet east side, and 5.3-feet west side. The approval of these specific dimensions was in part due
to the location of an existing foundation still in place on the site.
There are rights-of-way of 50-feet, 45-feet, and 20-feet bordering the west, south, and east sides of the lot. The
rights-of-way to the west and east are unopened. The north property line of the subject property is bordered by the
side yard of a single-family home at 5 Sprucewood Street.The single-family home to the east fronts Meddin Drive.
The"200-foot rule"of Section 3-090(A)(1)is not applicable to this lot.The proposed use is in keeping with the R-1
zoning district as outlined in Section 4-050(A):
1
20150514CityCouncilPacket Page 20 of 173 20150518/01
This land use district is established to minimize development densities in certain portions of the island to
prevent overall development on the island from exceeding its environmental carrying capacity. Also to
provide for quiet, livable, low-density single family institutions, as well as limited provisions for bed and
breakfast operations.
•
The Comprehensive Plan describes the North Beach Neighborhood as follows:
This area contains a significant amount of natural, cultural, and historic resources. The broad collection
of land uses also includes new larger-scale residential developments, traditional cottage-style homes,
townhomes, condominiums, restaurants, and other public uses. Two of the City's most notable historic
sites are located in this area including the Tybee Lighthouse and Fort Screven Museum/Battery. Other
characteristics include narrow streets, street trees, public and private beach access, public parking,
pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and public parks.
The proposed single-family dwelling meets the only applicable Recommended Development Strategy outlined in
the Comprehensive Plan, Section 1.2.9, North Beach Neighborhood. The other seven strategies are more
appropriate for historic structures or municipal projects and are not reflective of the consistency of this project with
the Comprehensive Plan.
