Savannah Beach, Georgia.
December 26, 1973.
A special meeting. of Savannah Beach City Council was held
tonight at 7:30 p.m. for the purpose of amending the Zoning
Ordinance by changing approximately nine acres of vacant land
from R -1 (Single Family Residential) to R -T (Residential -
Tourist) .
The meeting was presided over by Mayor Hendrix and a
quorum consisting of the following Councilmen was present:
Earl Anderson, Karen Losey, Edward Towns and Ernest Hosti.
The meeting was opened by Mayor Hendrix, who then called
upon Councilman Earl Anderson to explain the proposed changes.
Councilman Anderson explained that the area of the proposed
change was in the vicinity of Bay and Daniels Streets, but that
signs were erroneously posted in an area which was not pro-
posed to be changed.
Councilman Anderson suggested that if anyone present had
anything to bring out that they had not brought out in the
public hearing they should bring it out at this time.
Mr. M. J. Counihan asked if Council had already made up
its minds about this project. He said it looked like it was
already cut and dried, since a survey crew was already surveying
Daniels Street for the new sewer line. Mayor Hendrix
answered that he was not aware of this survey and that if a
sewer line was run, it would go down McKenzie Street and not
Daniels Street.
A question was asked by Mr. Joe Brown as to who would
bear the cost of running the sewer lines and making the sewer
stubs and water taps in the event the project is built.
Mayor Hendrix stated that the biggest percentage of the cost
of running the water and the sewer would be paid by the
contractor.
After much discussion pro and con as to the merits and .
demerits of the proposed zoning change, Councilman Anderson .
made a'motion that the zoning classification of Lots 1,2,3,4,5,7,
8,9,6 and 6A, Beach Block 3, Bay Ward: and Lots 1,3, and 3,
Beach Block 4, Bay Ward, Savannah Beach, Tybee Island,
Chatham County, Georgia (Generally Located between Bay Street and
the South Channel of the Savannah River and Between Byers and
McKenzie Streets), be changed from R -1 Single Family Residential)
to R -T (Residential- Tourist).
