A motion to accept the minutes from the May 21st, 2012 meeting was
accepted with correction by Dottie Kluttz indicating she was absent rather
than present at the May meeting.
A discussion of the application for demolition process under article 14 was

process, requirement of an engineer’s report, requirement for owner to
allow salvage of historic fabric, and whether the official application for
demolition indicated the number of days required for the permit to be
issued were all discussed.

process. Dottie Kluttz asked if the motion could include all historic
structures on the Island. Motion died for lack of 2nd. Neca Stoller made a
motion that forty five days but specifically for buildings fifty years or older.
Dottie Kluttz made a motion that “an owner of any structure applying for
demolition or relocation shall be required to adhere to a forty five day
review process. The review will include determination of age of structure,
contribution to Tybee Island’s architectural history, and necessary
feasibility studies to determine if structure can be relocated. If demolition is
permitted the owner shall allow for removal of historic fabric under the
supervision of the Tybee Island Historic Preservation Advisor. (The
removal of historic fabric will require a tear out permit).
Neca Stoller seconded the motion and all voting members were in favor of
the motion as presented for vote.
Other discussion items included whether the HPC wanted National Historic
District overlays on the zoning map of Tybee Island which would require
going before the Tybee Planning Commission and City Council. It was
decided to wait until and if the HPC recommended Local Historic District
designation so as not to confuse the general public.
Chairman Griffin called for adjournment at 7:15.
