HPC MEETING MINUTES
Motion was made by Susan, which was seconded by Neca, to approve the HPC meeting minutes of
September 18, 2017. The motion passed unanimously.
COMMISSIONER OPENINGS FOR 2018 – 2020
Chantel reviewed Commissioner’s term limits and the posting of four (4) seats that are available for the
2018 – 2020 term. Dottie, Neca, and Sue have served two consecutive terms allowed by ordinance. Jane
has served one out of two terms. Since Bill will not be continuing on City Council, a new Councilmember
will be appointed to be a liaison for the HPC. Sarah and Chantel thanked everyone for their dedication to
preservation on Tybee Island and for the work they have done while serving on the HPC. Commissioners
discussed potential applicants for the 2018 – 2020 term. Chantel confirmed the positions will be
advertised until they are filled by city council.
UPDATES: PRESERVATION EFFORTS
Dottie reviewed the “I Remember Tybee” program that was held at the Post Theater earlier in the month.
She shared that attendance was approximately 230 people and the response was overwhelmingly
positive. There was also good response to the heart bombing project. People have expressed their
interest in having another such program. She has reserved the theater for January 21, but a
Commissioner would have to organize the program since she will no longer be serving on the HPC.
Commissioners discussed design guidelines and the work that has been done over the past two years. Bill
shared that he has reviewed items with George. Chantel shared that she has talked with George about
hiring a consultant to assist with the continuation of the guidelines. Dottie suggested the HPC coordinate
with the Master Planning committee.
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HISTORIC PROPERTIES
Commissioners discussed possible processes that the city could implement to ensure property owners are
maintaining their properties and to enforce the existing city codes. Chantel confirmed that the city
manager told her that no further action is being taken at this time to update applicable codes.
Discussion ensued regarding historic properties on Solomon and various properties around the island that
need maintenance and the discussion about Meddin Avenue that took place at the city council meeting.

HPC PERMIT REVIEW UPDATE
Sarah reported that the permit applications she has received recently from the Planning & Zoning Office
have to do with repairs due to storm damage and one for a tear down on Lewis Avenue.
OTHER BUSINESS
Jan Will presented an idea for the Fort Screven entrance at Campbell and Van Horne. Commissioners and
guests discussed the possibilities and options for funding. All agreed that this discussion should continue
at future meetings with new commissioners once they are appointed.
