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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
