that have multi-day events the amount be greater. Mayor Buelterman recommended
this agenda item be put on the consent agenda and the application be approved
contingent upon the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) letter and the notification
of the adjoining/adjacent nearby property owners. He further asked that at the
upcoming workshop on July 24, 2014 there be an agenda item regarding the fees for
special events.
• List of Roadways Approved for the Use of Speed Detection Devices. DISCUSSION:

responsibility of the contractor. Mayor pro tern Doyle responded that there are two
issues at hand. The first is associated with a swale that needed to be redone and the

that to keep the integrity of the building the additional structural modifications needed
to be completed. Mr. Wolff stated that the contractor needs to be held responsible for
the additional costs. Mayor pro tern Doyle disagreed.

Police Officers in exchange to be the provider of online evidence dissemination and
open records processing in connection to the lapel cameras use. Mike Connell

company is providing these cameras in exchange for getting the City's open records request on
line and there is a fee associated with this service. He stated that his company is paying for the
cameras and if they malfunction, they will be replaced. Mayor Buelterman asked what other
municipalities/communities they work with. Mr. Connell stated the City of Norcross, Alma,
Chattahoochee Hills, City of Ivy and Gordon, Georgia. Mr. Garbett asked Mr. Connell who will
own the videos and data. Mr. Connell responded that the data is currently stored locally and
over the long term, a cloud storage provider. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Schleicher if Chief
Bryson and Mr. Hughes have reviewed this proposal. Ms. Schleicher stated that Mr. Branch and
Chief Bryson are working together and there is some recommended language that needs to be
included in the contract. Mr. Branch stated that his primary concern is that the City will be in
control of all the data and he is working toward that goal. Major Mosley stated that he and
Chief Bryson are in the process of reviewing the policy and procedures for the wearable
cameras. Mayor Buelterman stated that if there are further questions to please send to Mr.

action taken.
Public Safety Committee — Recommendation 2-1 to make the intersection of 14th
and Jones a four-way stop. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Schleicher if there are staff
concerns. She responded that the Tybee Island Fire Department and Police Department were
concerned with slowing down for stop signs with emergencies. Ms. Schleicher showed
photographs of the vegetation at the intersection on Jones and 14th. DPW has cleared the
vegetation which increases the vision of motorists heading east and west on 14th. Mr. Parks
stated he would rather have more stop signs on Jones as slowing traffic down is a major
priority for him. He would recommend this be done at one time and community wide. Mr.
Brown agreed with Mr. Parks as traffic need to be slowed. Mr. Garbett stated that 14th Street is
a major thoroughfare and motorists need to slow down. Bill Garbett made a motion to
approve the 4-way stop at the intersection of 14th and Jones to include further study of other
intersections on Jones Avenue. Wanda Doyle seconded. Discussion: Mayor pro tern Doyle
stated that she will include the study of other intersections on Jones Avenue on the upcoming
Public Safety Committee agenda. Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Wanda Doyle, Barry Brown and Bill
Garbett. Voting against was Rob Callahan. Motion carried 5-1.
Wanda Doyle made a motion to approve the consent agenda. Paul Wolff seconded. Vote
was unanimous, 6-0.
Public Hearings
Final Adoption, 2014 Millage to include Resolution. Mayor Buelterman stated that
mayor and council were able to set the upcoming budget in such a way that the millage rate
will be 4.158 and not raise to the roll back rate of 4.185. Paul Wolff made a motion for the
millage rate to remain at 4.158 for 2014. Wanda Doyle seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
Revocable License/Indemnity Agreement, Michael Scarbrough. Ms. Otto stated the
property owned by Michael Scarbrough has a dumpster located in the City's right-of-way. If
this revocable license is approved it would allow the dumpster to remain with the understanding
that if the City ever revoked the license, the dumpster would be removed. Ms. Schleicher
stated that this is to formalize the agreement and to make everyone aware. Paul Wolff made a
motion to approve. Monty Parks seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
Variance — consideration of request for additional banners (signage), Marine Science
Center, 1510 Strand/PIN 4-0008-03-001/Zone C-1/SE . Ms. Otto approached mayor
and council and stated the Planning Commission considered this item and the motion was to
deny. This request is to incorporate additional banners that exceed those required by the
current sign regulations. Banners were removed from the Marine Science Center location and
Ms. Procopio is requesting these banners be allowed to be put back up. Ms. Otto showed
examples as included in the packet before mayor and council. Mayor Buelterman asked for
clarification of the permits for these banners. Ms. Otto stated that the Marine Science Center
would be able to apply for three — thirty day temporary permits per calendar year. Mayor pro
tern Doyle stated that this does not meet the definition of a hardship and has concerns with the
current sign/banner ordinance. She would further like to see this agenda item approved which
will help the Marine Science Center. Mr. Brown confirmed with Mr. Hughes that this is a city
owned building and an educational center. Mr. Wolff expressed his concerns with this request
as it will increase visual clutter and set a dangerous precedence for other businesses that would
like to put up more banners. Mr. Garbett asked Ms. Otto if the banners had been framed. Ms.
Otto responded this is correct and when the Island wide sweep was done, there were a number
of banners that were retrofitted to become signs. Thus, they were properly permitted. Mr.
Garbett stated that he feels the banner ordinance is a good ordinance and serves a purpose
which announces a specific event. Mr. Parks commended staff for their work with this agenda
item and would like not to see visual clutter with seven more signs. Mayor Buelterman asked
Mr. Hughes, if this were to be approved, would it set precedence for billboard like signs on
Tybee such as banners? Mr. Hughes responded yes for banners but not for billboards. Barry
Brown made a motion to approve. Wanda Doyle seconded. Voting in favor were Barry
Brown and Wanda Doyle. Those voting against were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Rob Callahan,
and Bill Garbett. Motion failed 4-2. Bill Garbett made a motion to deny. Paul Wolff
seconded. Voting in favor of motion to deny was Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Rob Callahan and Bill
Garbett. Voting against was Wanda Doyle and Barry Brown. Motion to deny approved, 4-2.
Discussion: Mayor pro tem Doyle will meet with Mr. Schleicher to discuss the revision of the
sign ordinance. Ms. Schleicher approved.
Site Plan Approval — consideration of request for commercial business — Dixie
Pedaler, LLC, 801 First Street/PIN 4-0019-01-018/Zone C-2. Ms. Otto approached
mayor and council stating this request is in the C-2 district and Bowie Seafood and Prevail
Reality (since has moved) are located on this parcel. The right side of the building is now
available for Dixie Pedaler if an agreement can be made with the landlord. She further
explained that the current site plan shows the maximum of 20 golf carts and these are the type
of carts that cannot drive on Highway 80. Therefore all access will be on to North Campbell.
The site plan before mayor and council is the site plan which was approved with an overlay at
the time when the second story was added to the existing building in November/December
2007. Planning Commission approved this item with a vote of 4-0. Mayor pro tern Doyle asked
for clarification of the four parking spaces as shown on the drawing. Ms. Otto replied that these
spaces on located near the drive aisle. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Otto to clarify the ingress
and egress for these vehicles. Ms. Otto stated that it would be the drive aisle on North
Campbell. Mr. Brown asked Ms. Otto if the new tenants will have to put up a privacy fence
where the property abuts residential use, north and west side of the property. Ms. Otto
responded that the site plan as submitted does not propose a buffer and would be at the
discretion of mayor and council if they choose to impose a buffering requirement. Mr. Brown
cited the previous buffering requirement for Vicky's and Gerald's. Ms. Otto clarified that at the
current site there is no current residential use. If this were to change, mayor and council could
revisit. Mayor pro tern Doyle stated that she has concerns with the number of golf carts on
Highway 80 and their lack of respect for the rules and regulations. Ms. Otto responded that
staff did meet with the taxi cab companies not only discuss the upcoming taxi cab ordinance
but to also on how to educate the visitors that are renting the carts. Mr. Brown asked if the
Dixie Pedaler will be moving their business license from 2nd Avenue to the new location. Ms.
Otto responded that the owner will be addressing mayor and council and would ask that he
address her at that time. Julie Livingston approached mayor and council to answer questions
from mayor and council. She addressed the buffer requirement as outlined by Mr. Brown. Ms.
Livingston stated that both abutting properties have been abandoned for some time and are in
extremely bad shape. She will abide by mayor and council decision regarding a buffer
requirement. Ms. Livingston stated that at the time of rental, all safety information is provided
to include a map showing the stop lights, allowed Butler Avenue crossovers, etc. Mr. Brown
asked Ms. Livingston if it is her intent to move the license. Ms. Livingston responded that it is
her intent to move the license and not get a second license. Charlie Brewer, Island
Hoppers, approached mayor and council. He stated that he is not against the business but
has concerns with violators which are visitors to the Island and not residents. Mr. Brewer
explained that he only has electric carts and they can travel on Butler Avenue. His carts do not
have issues like the Dixie Pedaler carts. He discussed the parking issues associated with this
location as there is no real parking in this area. Mr. Brewer expressed his concerns with the
Dixie Pedaler (peddle bar) with the turning radius and the ability to move throughout the
Island. He asked mayor and council to consider that potential renters of these carts will be
driving to the location and parking their cars and the potential public safety issues associated
with this location. Ron Goralczyk, Breezy Riders, approached mayor and council to speak in
favor of this agenda item. Mr. Goralczyk explained there is a great deal of carts on the Island
and everyone is helping to educate the visitors for safety purposes. Mayor pro tern Doyle asked
Ms. Otto for clarification of parking. Ms. Otto confirmed that there would be no parking in the
open area as depicted on the drawing. Mayor pro tern Doyle asked Ms. Livingston if the Dixie
Pedaler (peddler bar) would be located at that the proposed location. Ms. Livingston stated
that it is their intention not to run the Dixie Pedaler out of the location but would like to park it
on a trailer and move it to the south-end when it runs. Marianne Bramble approached mayor
and council to speak in favor of this agenda item. She would also ask mayor and council to
approve. Freda Rutherford approached mayor and council stating that first, not only visitors
but also residents have carts on Highway 80 and second, she reminded everyone that there is
parking on Highway 80 adjacent to Eagle's Nest which is free. Ed Alexander approached
mayor and council to clarify that their carts are electric and not gas. Mr. Alexander stated that
their carts can be modified to low speed vehicles but does not feel a low speed vehicles need to
be on Butler Avenue. Bill Garbett made a motion to approve as presented. Paul Wolff
seconded. Discussion: Mr. Garbett clarified with Ms. Otto that there is adequate parking for
this location according to Code. Ms. Otto confirmed. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Otto if Ms.
Livingston decided to expand what would be the process. Ms. Otto responded that she would
have to come before mayor and council for approval for additional vehicles. Mr. Brown then
asked if they would be required to install a buffer. Mayor Buelterman responded that it would
be the decision of staff. Mayor pro tern Doyle asked if could be made part of the motion if the
houses become occupied then Ms. Livingston would be required to put in a buffer (fence). Mr.
Hughes stated that it could be but would be hard to enforce in years to come. Mr. Garbett
stated he did not want to amend his motion. Voting in favor were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Rob
Callahan, Wanda Doyle and Bill Garbett. Voting against was Barry Brown. Motion carried, 5-1.
Map Amendment & Text Amendment, 38-2014, — consideration of rezoning 1 parcel
from P-C to R-1, Hendrickson & Flaby, Cedarwood Drive/PIN 4-0002-18-
001/current zoning P-C, amended zoning R-1. Ms. Otto approached mayor and council
and stated that this was considered by the Planning Commission and the vote was 5-0 to
approve. Mayor pro tern Doyle asked Ms. Otto if there was a reason why this proposed
ordinance should not be approved. Ms. Otto stated no as it is not considered as spot zoning.
Mr. Wolff asked if the adjacent lots are zoned Parks & Recreation. Ms. Otto confirmed and
stated the property has been developed. Wanda Doyle made a motion to approve. Paul
Wolff seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
Text Amendment, 34-2014, Sec 6-080(K), Murals or Scenes; Consideration of sign
regulations. Ms. Otto approached mayor and council stating that this proposed ordinance was
brought forth by the Main Street program as they are asking for consideration of the ordinance
which would allow murals in the C-2, South-end Overlay and Neighbor and Grocery District.
She explained that what is in front of mayor and council includes the amended changes from
the Planning Commission. Their vote was 3-2 to approve. Mayor pro tem Doyle questioned
the review fee. Ms. Otto stated that the Main Street Board of Directors has no interest in
charging a review fee. Mr. Brown asked Ms. Otto to explain the guidelines for the murals or
scenes. Mayor Buelterman responded that as long as they are not vulgar, obscene or lewd they
would be approved. Chantel Morton and Vicky Hammonds approached mayor and council
to address questions or concerns. Ms. Morton stated that the Board has been looking at other
communities and how they handle murals in respect to historic buildings and have crafted
guidelines. Mr. Parks thanked Ms. Morton and Ms. Hammonds for all their work on the
proposed ordinance. Ms. Hammonds outlined items that would not be approved according to
the guidelines: political or any type of messages; commercial speech; and nothing to promote
product or cause. It is the intent to only allow things that would enhance the property or
business. Paul Wolff made a motion to approve. Monty Parks seconded. Vote was
unanimous, 6-0.
Text Amendment, 39-2014, Sec 3-090.1, Buffer Ordinance. Mr. Schleicher
approached mayor and council to present this agenda item. He stated that this is in response
to an Environmental Protection Division (EPD) interpretation on the Erosion and Sedimentation
Act. Mr. Schleicher explained that prior to the April 22, 2014 memorandum, the Erosion and
Sedimentation Act required that in all state waters the buffer was determined based off at least
one of 14 species of marsh plants. He further stated that the EPD reviewed the Erosion and
Sedimentation Act and found that it never defined "wrested". A definition was then found in
Webster's as "pull, force or move by violent wringing or twisting movements". This definition
was then inserted into the interpretation. Thus, for the buffer to actually start, vegetation has
to be moved by tidal or current streams. Mr. Schleicher stated that the proposed ordinance
before mayor and council was drafted by councilmembers Wolff and Garbett and is based on a
model ordinance by the River Basin Center, UGA. This will establish a 25 foot buffer to pre-
memorandum protection. Mayor pro tern Doyle stated she is concerned about having a lawn in
the buffer as you can have a deck or porch. Mr. Wolff responded that it would be more
appropriate to limit what to what can be put on the lawns as certain fertilizers would be
prohibited as they would negatively impact the water quality. Mayor pro tern Doyle stated that
there are many organic materials on the market that will not impact the water quality. Mayor
Buelterman asked if there is language in the proposed ordinance that is more restrictive than
what the State had in place prior to April 22, 2014. Mr. Schleicher responded to Mayor pro tern
Doyle's question that a manicured lawn would be considered a minor land disturbing act. Mr.
Hughes cited Section 4 (5), Standards and Regulations, where the establishment of a
manicured lawn shall not be permitted in the buffer which is included in the model ordinance
not in the Erosion and Sedimentation Act. Mr. Garbett then responded to Mayor Buelterman's
questions regarding the restrictions. He explained that the Erosion and Sedimentation Act
allowed people to build a single family residence in the buffer which would negate the buffer
ordinance by reducing land disturbing activities in the buffer. Mayor Buelterman again asked if
there is anything in the proposed ordinance that is more restrictive than required by the State.
Mr. Wolff responded no and would like clarification regarding the 100 square feet land
disturbing permit. As he would like it interpreted that the permit is only one time and cannot
be granted again in future years. Mr. Wolff would like it to read that a variance would be
required. Mr. Hughes responded that his understanding is 100 square feet per parcel. Ms. Otto
stated that this is not currently under the minor guidelines as staff is allowing 100 square feet
per year. Mr. Hughes will coordinate with Ms. Otto and Mr. Schleicher for clarification as he
would like to include another section that basically states: notwithstanding anything else, there
is a 25 foot setback from the state waters as defined by the Coastal Marshland Protection Act.
He stated there are two goals: (1) to preserve the water and marsh from sedimentation and
(2) is to set up a buffer as a set-back. Paul Wolff made a motion to approve with the
conditions that the city attorney include the language discussed and limit land disturbing
activities to a total of 100 square feet. Bill Garbett seconded. Discussion: Mayor
Buelterman asked if there is anyone that will not vote in favor of this due to the manicured lawn
language as mayor and council need to be united. Mayor pro tern Doyle stated that she has
concerns regarding the 100 square feet language. Mr. Wolff clarified. Mr. Hughes stated that it
is his understanding that it is 100 square feet per parcel. Mayor pro tem Doyle asked for
clarification regarding the tilling or raking of the yard and would that be considered a minor
land disturbance. There was a short discussion regarding the application fee for a buffer
encroachment permit and it was recommended that it would be handled much like a
construction application plan review which would be a $250 deposit which is applied to the
permit fee if a permit is issued. Otherwise it is forfeited by the applicant if they abandon the
project. Mayor Buelterman asked Mr. Wolff to amend his motion. Paul Wolff made a motion
to approve with the conditions that the city attorney include the language discussed, limit land
disturbing activities to a total of 100 square feet, include input from the Zoning Department
regarding fees, and what department should handle process and review and the timeline. Bill
Garbett seconded the amended motion. 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.
Ordinance 40-2014, Sec 3-090, Development Regulations. Mr. Schleicher
approached mayor and council stating this item is a housekeeping matter in reference to the
buffer ordinance. He explained in Sec 3-090, Schedule of Development Regulations, staff would
like to add as amended: (D) Structures in all zoning districts are required to comply with the
provisions of 3-090.1. Paul Wolff made a motion to approve. Bill Garbett seconded. 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.
Text Amendment, 37-2014, Sec 5-140, Minor Subdivision Plat Approval Procedure.
Ms. Otto approached mayor and council to explain the longevity of permits after approval.
Staff is proposing minor subdivision plans shall be valid for 45 calendar days from the date of
approval. Planning Commission heard this request and voted to approve 5-0. Bill Garbett
made a motion to approve. Paul Wolff seconded. Discussion: Mr. Brown stated 45 days is
not ample time in his opinion and would recommend it be 90 days. Mr. Garbett stated that it is
his understanding that this follows the approval of a minor subdivision where all the engineering
and surveying has been completed. Ms. Otto confirmed. Bill Garbett amended his motion to
change from 45 calendar days for approval to 60 days for approval. Paul Wolff seconded the
amended motion. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
Text Amendment, 13B-2014, Sec 3-080, Off-street Parking Requirements. Ms. Otto
approached mayor and council stating that following the joint workshop of Planning Commission
and City Council, staff was directed to bring back the prior version of Sec 3-080 (C)(5) which
gives several options that have been identified as meeting the first one inch of a storm event
requirement. Mayor Buelterman asked for clarification as to how this is different from the
ordinance that is currently in place. Ms. Otto responded that it is the same water quality
standard. Bill Garbett made a motion to approve. Paul Wolff seconded. Discussion:
Mayor pro tern Doyle stated that she has concerns with the length of the ordinance. Voting in
favor were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Wanda Doyle, and Bill Garbett. Voting against were Rob
Callahan and Barry Brown. Motion carried 4-2.
Consideration of Ordinance, Resolutions
Second Reading, 33A-2014, Sec 9-030, Permit Placards. Ms. Otto approached mayor
and council to explain the proposed ordinance as Mayor Buelterman was not present for first
reading. Ms. Otto stated it concerned the location of the placards and reminded mayor and
council that this would only apply to new placards and not those already in place. Paul Wolff
made a motion to approve. Bill Garbett seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
First Reading, 41-2014, Sec 12-1(a) (9), Use of municipal beaches and facilities.
Mayor Buelterman explained the proposed ordinance as this would require all surfboards to
be leashed. Paul Wolff made a motion to approve. Rob Callahan seconded. Vote was
unanimous, 6-0.
