understands Mayor and Council had approved items previously but was surprised with the amount
of money that was used for personnel in Human Resources and Planning and Zoning for the
20180308AmendedPacket2 Page 4 of 57 20180308/jrl
transition made. She stated she did not realize the impact on the budget when approved. Ms.
Doyle asked, in the future, all budget amendments are done in a timely manner so Mayor and
Council are cognizant of the budget impacts. She commended Ms. Hudson for her presentation
in the packet before them. Mr. Branigin also expressed his concerns with the organizational
changes. Dr. Gillen stated there five major things changed in the budget: (1) Marine Science
Center - $300,000; (2) $360,000 – YMCA Gym roof; (3) $454,255 – potential outcome of contract
for the Flood Mitigation Grant; (4) $138,000 – beach re-nourishment to the Corps of Engineers;
and (5) $40,000 for back flow preventers. Mayor pro tem Brown stated he would prefer to know

with taking the $1,416,834 from the fund balance. Ms. Doyle confirmed monies for the items on
the agenda tonight are included in the budget adjustment as presented. Ms. Hudson confirmed.
Ms. Doyle again requested budget amendments be presented to Mayor and Council in a timely
manner. Dr. Gillen confirmed. Mayor Buelterman asked for clarification of the expenses for the

Council, Officials and City Attorney Considerations and Comments
Jason Buelterman stated he would like to revisit a dedicated parking space for the North
Beach Grill, as it was never resolved. He stated other businesses on the Island have dedicated
parking but it is for loading and unloading, not personal use. Ms. Doyle stated discussions were
held during negotiations of the leasing agreement and she does not feel dedicated private parking
spaces be provided, as all businesses would then have the same option. Major Buelterman named
the businesses that currently have loading/unloading spaces. He would like to support the North
Beach Grill with their request. Ms. Livingston suggested a specified loading/unloading parking
space allotted to North Beach Grill. Mayor Buelterman requested Dr. Gillen speak with Ms.
Williams, North Beach Grill, for a mutual recommendation. Dr. Gillen to bring recommendations
to a council meeting as the season is very near.
Jason Buelterman referred to Beach re-nourishment/dune-building, stating this was on
the agenda for information only. Dr. Gillen stated he attended a meeting that morning to discuss
the logistics of the re-nourishment. The project is to take approximately three weeks and the
20180308AmendedPacket2 Page 5 of 57 20180308/jrl
majority of 250,000 cubic yards of sand is to be placed on the north-end of the beach. Mayor
Buelterman stated the sand pumping will start of March 25, 2018 and will be for only eight days.
Wanda Doyle stated the Beach Task Force recommended a mobi-mat at 8th Street. Mayor
Buelterman clarified he asked the Beach Task Force to address two issues: (1) the area by the
anchor, which has a lot of foot traffic and the dunes need to be closed up and (2) to look at other
crossover areas using 8th Street as an example. He stated that when the crossovers were built
they cut into the dunes and then sand grows over the ends of the crossovers, which causes staff
to dig out the sand. This then creates an alleyway for high water to come through if there is a
hurricane. He would like to have a short crossover built for foot traffic so beachgoers will stay
out of the dunes. Ms. Doyle explained in the past a different type of mobi-mat was put at 7th
Street, which was less expensive and lasted as long as the expensive ones. Ms. Doyle to take
back to the Beach Task Force. Mr. Parks recommended the sand fencing that is currently in place
be extended to help with eliminating the foot traffic.
Wanda Doyle stated Rivers End Campground and RV Park was recognized with two
National Awards. She commended the work of the staff and feels Mayor and Council
need to continue to make progress regarding the campground.
1C-Resolution: Restrictions on unpermitted use of live or recorded musical
entertainment and the consumption or possession of open containers of alcoholic
beverages. Monty Parks stated he was fortunate to attend the Savannah Economic Outlook
recently as well as the Tybee Tourism Profile Market Survey. Both groups stressed the tourist
they are trying to attract are families, families with children, families that are seeking relaxation
and a quiet environment, seeking to commune with nature and looking for safety with their
children. He would like to reaffirm his priority is to provide a safe environment for not only for
tourist but for residents as well. His main concerns are the residents near the Chatham Avenue
area, as they witness the excessive drinking and bad behaviors from non-family events. He would
like to make a motion to approve the 1C-Resolution as it stands. Mayor Buelterman clarified there
would be no consumption of alcohol in public spaces from March 12 – 16, 2018 and the two
weekends in April 2018: April 13 – 15 and April 20 – 22, 2018. Monty Parks made a motion to
approve as written. Motion failed for lack of second. John Branigin made a motion to
approve as amended specifically to make this Resolution pertain to the April 2018 weekends only
as stated above, striking paragraphs 5, 6, 7 and 9 and redacting the reference to March 12 – 16,
2018 at the beginning of paragraph 15. Julie Livingston seconded. Discussion: Mr. Parks
stated he feels Mayor and Council are setting the bar too high and not supplying the tourist with
what they need for the families that live in the community. Ms. Doyle asked if this includes
amplified music. Mayor Buelterman confirmed. Voting in favor were Julie Livingston, Monty
Parks, John Branigin, Wanda Doyle and Jackson Butler. Voting against was Barry Brown. Motion
to approve as amended, 5-1.
Extension of permit application time for rebuilding a non-conforming structure after
a natural disaster – Patel’s billboard. George Shaw approached Mayor and Council. Mr.
Shaw stated in October 2017, Mayor and Council approved the extension for the parcel of land
to the west. What is before Mayor and Council is the parcel of land to the east, next to Waves.
There were two billboards and they were destroyed during the hurricanes. Meredith Allen
approached Mayor and Council. Ms. Allen stated she is representing Mr. Patel in this issue. She
stated there is a parcel of land adjacent to the Surf Shop where there is an existing non-
conforming billboard. During hurricane Matthew the billboard blew off the poles and the State
determined the owners needed to get a Coastal Marsh Protection Act Permit. The State also
20180308AmendedPacket2 Page 6 of 57 20180308/jrl
asked if the owners could move the sign to the upland area of the parcel. Ms. Allen stated the
owner is asking for two things: (1) put the billboard back and (2) at the request of DNR to move
the billboard out of the marsh, four feet upland. Mr. Hughes stated the owner did not apply for
a permit within six months of the destruction and could have put the back without anyone’s
permission. Mr. Hughes explained by Mayor and Council approving what is before them, the
billboard could be rebuilt in the same location. Ms. Allen stated the petitioner could not rebuild
within the six-month requirement as DNR had a moratorium on this type of project. Mr. Parks
would like the billboard put back but not in the marsh. Ms. Allen stated her client is willing to
move the billboard out of the marsh. Barry Brown made a motion to approve to include moving
the billboard out of the marsh. Wanda Doyle seconded. Discussion: Mayor pro tem Brown
asked Ms. Allen how long it take the petitioner to move the billboard. Ms. Allen responded three
months. Mayor pro tem Brown added a three-month stipulation for completion. Ms. Doyle agreed
to the three-month stipulation. Vote was unanimous, 6-0 to approve.
Jackson Butler addressed the elected official’s access to City health care plans (as
discussed in the Goal Setting Workshop). After a brief discussion, Mr. Parks stated he would
like an insurance presentation, as it would pertain to Mayor, Council, and their spouses. Dr
Gillen to bring information to Mayor and Council at next meeting.
Mr. Shaw gave a brief updated on the Hazard Mitigation Grant. He stated all applications
were sent to the State and a cursory review was done. They were impressed with the detail of
the package. As only one other municipality has submitted applications, he feels monies may
be available for all sixty homes that completed the applications. The contribution for the
homeowners will be between $13,000 and $33,000 as the Federal Government’s contribution is
75% of the cost; the State’s 10% of the cost; and the homeowners the remaining. Mr. Shaw
explained he received a form that the homeowners need to complete acknowledging they
understand their cost. Dr. Gillen commended Mr. Shaw and Ms. Hudson for their hard work as
related to FEMA and hurricanes Matthew and Irma.
Julie Livingston made a motion to adjourn to executive session to discuss personnel. Wanda
Doyle seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
Julie Livingston made a motion to return to regular session. Wanda Doyle seconded. Vote
was unanimous, 6-0.
Monty Parks made a motion to adjourn. John Branigin seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-
0.
Meeting adjourned at 9:20PM.

APPLICANT: City of Tybee Island OWNER: N/A
EXISTING USE: N/A PROPOSED USE: N/A
ZONING: N/A USE PERMITTED BY RIGHT: N/A
COMMUNITY CHARACTER MAP: N/A
APPLICATION: Amendment to Article 3, Section 3-090 Schedule of development regulations and Article 9,
Section 9-050 Technical codes adopted.
PROPOSAL: To make it clear that the required second egress from an elevated home must be either standard or
circular stairs.
ANALYSIS: The building code allows for a window to be an egress from an elevated floor of a home. Tybee
amended their ordinance several years ago to require a second egress with the intention of it being a stairway.
Some builders believe that since the ordinance doesn’t specify stairs then an appropriate sized window is sufficient.
This amendment removes ambiguity in the ordinance.

Text Amendment: Sec. 3-090. –Schedule of development regulations. (A)(2) and Sec. 9-050. –
Technical codes adopted. (C). Mr. Shaw approached the Planning Commission and stated the code for a
second egress has been challenged recently because of the of the building code states that an egress could be
a window. He thought Tybee’s code meant a second set of stairs although it does not say a second set of
stairs. Mr. Shaw stated the wording should be changed and he gave them an example of what he thinks the
code should say. Vice Chair Bossick stated there are a few areas that need to be specific to what the code
means. Mr. Shaw stated he does agree that the wording needs to be carefully phrased because they could
also be challenged in the future. Chair Bossick stated that was the intent for this second egress from the
20180308AmendedPacket2 Page 27 of 57 20180308/jrl
beginning for it to be a second set of stairs. Commissioner McNaughton asked are we counting the area
under the house as a level. Mr. Shaw stated yes that would be counted as the first level and if there is
another level, that would count for a second level and that would need a second set of stairs. Vice Chair
Bossick suggested in Sec. 9-050 (C) in the red section after the word egress to add in (to ground level) that
might make it clearer. Also in Sec. 3-090, Mr. Shaw could fix that. He was also concerned with customers
adding stairs in the set back without finding another option. Mr. Shaw stated that sometimes it is a cost
burden to the customer, having to put a set coming up through the floor verses off the back deck. Mr. Shaw
stated he and Mr. Hughes had a discussion about if there were a third story house does the third floor need
two means of egress. Mr. Shaw stated that in his opinion that is what it says, and if that is not the intent that
it needs to be clearer. Commissioner McNaughton made a motion to change the wording in Sec. 9-050 (C)
to read (The two means of egress from the first elevated floor to the ground level must be either standard or
spiral stairways.) and Sec. 3-090 as written, Vice Chair Bossick seconded the vote was unanimous.
Chair Bishop asked if someone from the Planning Commission could attend the Community work plan
forum that is going to be February 13, 2018 at the old school in the cafeteria from eight until two. He stated
he would not be able to make it but he feels the Planning Commission should be more involved in
discussions like this one. Vice Chair Bossick stated he could be there. Commissioner Bramble also stated
she would be there.
Chair Bishop also asked if staff could look back at old meetings to see how the Planning Commission use
to handle two meetings in the month, and try to put that on the agenda for discussion. Mr. Shaw stated he
would have to check with Mr. Hughes about the meetings having to be advertised or not.
Meeting adjourned 8:00pm
