Savannah Beach, Georgia
August 11, 1975
The Regular Monthly Meeting of Savannah Beach City Council
was held this evening at 7:00 P.M. in the auditorium of City
Hall with Mayor M. J. Counihan presiding and a quorum consisting
of the following Councilmen was present: J. M. Agnew, Edward
J. Fahey, Bob Davenport, John Wylly, and Richard DeLoach. In
the absence of William H. Pinson, Mr. Lamar Davis acted as
City Attorney.
Prior to the opening of the meeting, the Mayor and Council
listened to several petitioners, the first of whom was Mr. A. R.
Bragg who lives on Chatham Avenue in Savannah Beach. Mr. Bragg
had several complaints about the manner in which the present
sewer job was being carried on. Some of his complaints were
as follows:
1. Contractor has had his ingress and egress blocked
off for more than a month. They have now moved to
another location
2. Three out of four of the hook -ups made by the Contractor
that he saw personally were done wrong and when he
complained about it, he was told that this was a
temporary hook -up.
3. Both he and a neighbor received threats from the
foreman working in his area.
When questioned by the Mayor as to absence of the Resident
Inspector at the time these connections were made, Councilman
Bond stated that he felt there were temporary connections and
that being the case, it was not necessary for the inspector
to be there until the permanent connection was made. The Mayor
stated that he would like Mr. Bond to look into the matter
further and report back to him at which time he would like to
talk further with Mr. Bragg.
MX. Nickie Alexander appeared before Council to pursue his
previous request in regard to the sale of the City -owned Tybrisa
property. He was informed that this was on the agenda and would
be discussed later in the meeting.
Mr. John Kraft, a surfing enthusiast, appeared before
Council to protest the small area allocated surfers in the
current Savannah Beach Surfing Ordinance. Mayor Counihan
appointed a committee consisting of Councilman Ed Fahey, Bob
Davenport and Richard DeLoach to look into the matter and report
back to the full Council. Councilman Bond reminded the Mayor
1

that the Ordinance would have to be amended anyway because the
present wooden groins which the beach nourishment was covering
up, defines the surfing limits in the present Surfing Ordinance.
There being no more petitioners, Mayor Counihan then
opened the meeting for the transaction of business legally presented.
The minutes of the meetings of June 27th, July 14th, and
July 22nd were approved as written.
Under COMMUNICATIONS, the Clerk read a letter from Mr.
Hunter Kent who resides on Lewis Avenue, requesting claim for
damages done to. :hisL.car in .the.amoant_Zot,$114,AG; which he .claimed
was caused by the ungraded shoulders of Lewis Avenue following the
paving of the street. He stated that none of his requests to
Aultman Construction Company had been answered so he felt the City
should pay for these damages. With reference to this, Councilman
Bond stated that he felt we should go back to the construction
company on this. Mayor Counihan then appointed him a committee
of one to follow through on this.
Bills of the various departments for the month of July
as read by the Committee Chairmans, were approved for payment.
These bills in detail are attached to and form a part of the
minutes of this meeting.
Councilman Fahey, Chairman of the Police Committee, read
a request from Mr. Nickie Alexander to transfer his alcoholic
beverage license at the Kitten Korner on Sixteenth Street to Mary
Jane Miller who resides at Thai Trailer Park. Councilman Fahey
stated that this applicant had been investigated by the Police
Department and they could find no reason why the transfer should
not be granted and he so recommended this be done upon payment of
the usual $25.00 transfer fee. There were no objections and
this was so ordered.
Councilman Fahey announced that, at the time the present
Refuse Ordinance was adopted, no provision was made for establish -
ments which comprized of two or more businesses and has one central
location for garbage pick -up. He stated further that he felt
this was unfair, as did others he had talked to, and he would like
to rectify this by adopting the following Ordinance, which he read:
ORDINANCE
Following the reading, Councilman Fahey moved its adoption.
This motion was seconded by Councilman DeLoach and unanimously
carried on first and second readings at this meeting by unanimous
consent.

Following the vote on the amendment to the Refuse Ordinance,
Mr. Nickie Alexander asked Council if he would still be liable
for a garbage charge after he closes his business-known as the
Riptide on Labor Day. This question was referred to the City
Attorney for his opinion.
Councilman Agnew informed Council that the Personnel Policy
recently adopted by them and a provision that a salary scale
would be adopted at a subsequent time and that he had now prepared
this salary scale and moved that it be adopted by Council. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Fahey and unanimously carried.
SALARY SCALE
Councilman Davenport stated that we are now in the process
of getting a nice new beach but along with it we are also getting
some problems. For example, he said, the tide rising and falling
over the beach used to keep it clean - washing away the litter but
with the new, wider beach which is never covered with water, we
have a litter problem. He also said we were trying to get some
help from an air National Guard unit who helped the beach in the
past by providing steel drums in return for the advertising rights
to them. Councilman Davenport also stated that eventually it may
become necessary for the City to acquire some mechanical means to
keep the beach clean.
Councilman Davenport also brought to the attention of Council
the problem of storm sewer drainage through the sea wall on to
the beach at the end of various streets, particularly at 1st, 10th
and 17th Streets. He said the problem was being investigated
throughly and it was hoped that a solution and remedy could be
found soon.
Mayor Counihan stated that recently he had received several
inquiries as to the asking price of the City -owned Tybrisa
property and that he did not•know has to answer them. He then
suggested that before a firm price was put on the property, that
the area from eighteen feet west of the sea wall to the Strand
Line, a distance of approximately 112 feet, more or less, be
opened as a thoroughfare and parking area, with the area eighteen
feet west of the sea wall being beautified with covered benches and
made into the scenic easement to which we were already obligated.
He stated further that after this area has been separated from
the property, the remainder should then be sold for the best
price available. Following a lengthy discussion of the pros and
cons as to whether or not this area should be retained by the
City, Councilman Agnew moved that the entire Council meet on the
property at 3:00 P.M. this coming Sunday afternoon to discuss the
matter, in depth, on the site. The motion was seconded by
Councilman John Wylly and unanimously carried.

Mr. Lamar Davis who was acting as City Attorney in the
place of William H. Pinson who was absent, brought to the attention
of Council a letter written by Mr. Pinson to the Mayor and
them on July 14, 1975 in regard to the hours during which alcoholic
beverages may be sold within the City. In this letter Mr. Pinson
stated that none of our Ordinances in effect at the present
time covers business establishments which sell beer and wine as
a sideline product and remain open twenty -four hours a day but
that our Ordinances could be amended so as to cover such establish-
ments, Mr. Pinson's letter follows:
LETTER
Following a discussion, it was the unanimous feeling of
Council that this letter should be received as information.
Mr. Davis next read an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
which had been prepared by Attorney Pinson for the purpose of
having our Zoning. Ordinance and Map reflect the addition of a
neighborhood marina district which was approved by City Council
subsequent to a public hearing held in June, 1975.
ORDINANCE
Following the reading of the proposed Ordinance, Councilman
Wylly moved its adoption. It was seconded by Councilman Fahey
and unanimously carried.
Mr. Earl Anderson, City Zoning Administrator, brought to
the attention of Council the many zoning violations such right-
of-way encrouchments, etc. that exist in the City at the present
time and requested that an ad be placed in the Savannah papers
notifying the public that the City of Savannah Beach now has
Zoning Regulations, a Building Code and a Flood Control Ordinance,
all of which were being enforced and that City Hall should be
contacted before building any structure or adding to or changing
them in any way. Councilman Fahey then moved that the Clerk be
instructed to place such an ad in the papers. This motion was
seconded by Councilman DeLoach and unanimously carried.
Councilman Davenport called Council's attention to a
letter from Mr. Sanders of Palmer and Cay addressed to Councilman
Hosti which was directed to him for handling when Councilman
Hosti resigned, in which Mr. Sanders offered to sell the City
the land which we are presently using for sanitary landfill.
He asked Council for some direction as to how it should be answered.
It was the opinion of Council that Mr. Sanders should be informed
that this land was now almost completely filled and that being
the case, the City would have no need for it.
