Mayor Hosti stated that he is very pleased with the consideration the city.iis being given by the "state officials this is the third such opportunity the city has recently taken advantage of, and each has resulted in additional grant monies being made available for our use. The proposed subdivision ordinance, prepared by Metropolitan Planning Commission and studied by the Tybee Island Planning Commission, was the next item on the agenda. The clerk read a letter from Arnold J. Seyden, Jr., chairman of the Planning Commission. Adoption is recommended, and this reading of the ordinance 49 is intended to be a study reading to familiarize the group with the proposed ordinance, which is lengthy and unfamiliar to most Members of Council. Several members felt that the ordinance is too complicated and too lengthy. It was agreed that sane form of subdivision ordinance is needed, but it was asked if could be simplified. All agreed to ask the chairman of the planning commission to come to the next agenda meeting and talk about the ordinance, explaining the reasons for some of the provisions. It was also agreed, after same discussion, that the Council would stay w.j,th the subdivision ordinance until it is canplete, then move on to a study of the proposed sign ordinance. Mayor Hosti announced that, at the last regular meeting, a transfer of an alcoholic beverage license from Mrs.:41illie King to Michael Nagle had been approved tentatively, pending further investigation. Results of subsequent in- vestigation led Police Commissioner Fabrikant to move that the transfer be denied; Councilperson Wylly seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Hosti informed the Council that Mrs. Genevieve O'Connor, Eighth Street resident, is continuing to protest the permit granted to Allen Hendrix by the Corps of Engineers, which calls for filling a small trianglular portion of Eighth Street. He informed Council that there is the possibility of legal action resulting from this dispute, but that he will keep the Council informed. City Attorney Mahoney then offered as information the fact that a law suit is beginning over the rights of easement and access to the strand from Atlantic Avenue. He explained that, in April of 1981 a new state statute was pa.ssed,which gives Recorder's Courts in smaller towns jurisdiction over the abate - ment of nuisances. He stated that such a charge has been brought against Island Villas, Inc., and will be heard in our Recorder's Court on September 28, 1982. •A local attorney, Robert Duffey, is acting for the plaintiffs and Lee & Clark, a Savannah firm, for the defendants.
