HomeMy Public PortalAbout19850214CCMeeting1 1 000% Tybee Island, Georgia February 14, 1985 The regular monthly meeting of the Tybee Island City Council was held on Thursday, February 14, 1985 at Tybee City Hall. Mayor Charles J. Hosti called the meeting to order at approximately 7:30 p.m. The following members of Council were present: Chris Solomon, David McCutchen, S. J. Orsini, John C. Wylly, Jr., Jeanne Hutton and Paul Jackson. The City Attorney, Thomas J. Mahoney, Jr., was also present. The first item of business was a public hearing for a rezoning petition filed by Jane E. Kohel, who was represented by her husband, Frank D. Kohel. The property is located at 1113 -1115 Highway 80, and is within the newly annexed (1983) area of the city. Mr. Kohel explained that his wife had bought the property with plans of building a home there; the county did not allow residences in commercial districts, and the present residential zoning is therefore a result of a rezoning while the property was within the county's jurisdiction. This request is actually for a reversion to former zoning and would be within conformance with the neighboring properties. The PIN # of the property is 4 -26 -03 -003 and consists of Lots 10, 11, and a portion of 12. Mayor Hosti explained the procedure of a public hearing, and asked if anyone favoring the Kohels': petition wished to speak. No one came forward. He then asked for those in opposition, with similar results. The City Council had no questions and the Mayor referred the matter over into the business portion of the meeting. Mayor Hosti then asked if others wished to speak to the Council. Mr. Cecil B. deLorme came forward and explained that he owns Lot 1 on Second Street (oceanfront property). On February 4th he petitioned Planning Commission for permission to sell a rental unit on the lower floor by means of the State's Condominium law. This was also deferred to the regular business meeting. Mrs. Faye Lucas was the next speaker. She told Council that there are very young school children waiting in near darkness for school buses in areas she thinks are isolated and wooded. She also said that others are 1 1 1 60/ iz -z, tae w 60097 Tybee Island, Georgia February 14, 1985 Page Two crossing U.S. Highway 80 to get to the grammar school and to St. Michael's. Some are on bikes, some walking, but all are small. She asked if the City Council could have a police officer in the area for the thirty minutes or so that these children are exposed to traffic and other hazards. Mayor Hosti thanked Mrs. Lucas for her concern, and referred her question to the Police Committee, asking them to consider the question. The meeting was then opened for business legally presented. Mrs. Phyllis Cary, City Treasurer, was recognized and explained that she has one piece of real estate to be sold for unpaid taxed (fifa). The property was described as PIN # 4 -05 -14 -004, an empty lot owned by C. T. and B. A. Knight. The amount of taxes owed: $165.69 plus advertising costs of $6.30, making the total due $171.99. There were no bids from the audience. Rowena Fripp, Clerk of Council, bid the amount of $171.99 for the City of Tybee Island. Councilperson Wylly then asked the City Attorney to explain the procedure according to the State Code and this was done. Mayor Hosti congratulated Mrs. Cary, saying that the list had begun with approximately t 80 overdue accounts and Mrs. Cary had collected all but one. He called this an excellent job, and thanked her for her hard work and dedication. Mayor Hosti then stated that Mike Kelly's name has been nominated for q$ a "Citizen of the Month" Award and asked the Council's pleasure. Council - person Solomon moved, Councilperson Hutton seconded and the motion to award the certificate passed unanimously. This action will take place at the March meeting. Minutes of the meeting of January 10th were unanimously accepted upon the motion of Councilperson Orsini, seconded by Councilperson Wylly. Bills for the month of February were approved as follows: Recreation - $1,297.47, Fire & First Responder - $1,077.32, Public Works /Sanitation - $9,942.23, General Government - $6,974.58, Police - $5,437.18, Water /Sewer - $13,207.25. Communications were then read as follows: a letter to Senator Tom Coleman from Commissioner Ledbetter dated 2/5/85; a letter to Commissioner from Senator Coleman, dated 1/31/85; a letter to Mayor Hosti from the Chatham 1 1 1 00098 Tybee Island, Georgia February 14, 1985 Page Three Delegation dated 2/6/85 and a letter to Mayor Hosti from Governor Harris dated 2/7/85. These letters dealt with the following subjects respectively: the possibility of inclusion of Tybee Island in the Commissioner's five -year plan for parks and recreation; a thank -you to Tybee's officials for partici- pating in Savannah Day in Atlanta; and a thank -you from Governor Harris for the Mayor's support of his education plan for the state. The next item of business was a request from Hobie Fleet 294, Bert B. Barrett, Jr., Vice - Commodore, to host an Annual Points Regatta on June 1st and 2nd. The location would be, as in the past, Center Street, and extra trash barrels and traffic control were also requested. Councilperson Solomon moved to approve the request, Councilperson Wylly seconded and the motion passed without dissent. The Tybee Island Chamber of Commerce was represented by Charles Masterpoulis and Earl Anderson, its new President. Their request was two- fold: 1) an extension of the variance for the Welcome Center for another year, and 2) a race on Sunday, March 17th, as a part of the St. Patrick's Day festivities. Mr. Anderson explained that the Chamber has found a person willing to pay half the utilities and answer telephone inquiries if allowed to rent one room for a business (Kingston Homes). It was explained that no sales will take place from the location, only inquiries answered and litera- ture or information passed to prospects. Councilperson Wylly moved to permit the continued use of the temporary location for another year and Councilperson Solomon seconded. During discussion Councilperson Hutton stated that she does not believe it fair or consistant to allow variances for some and not for others and that she further believes that granting this variance will encourage others to seek the same treatment. The vote was five (5) to one (1) with Councilperson Hutton casting the dissenting vote. The second matter of Chamber business, that of the St. Patrick's Day race was then discussed. It will be called the Tybee Shamrock Fun & Run and will be a five kilometer race and take place between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. Shirts for participants will be given out at the Community House. The City Attorney has approved a waiver which each participant will be required to 1 1 00099 Tybee Island, Georgia February 14, 1985 Page Four sign to protect the city from suit in case of injury. All runners will be over 18 years old. Councilperson Hutton asked if a traffic problem might be caused and Earl Anderson answered that a plan will be made with the approval of the police and the police department will have imput into choice of route. Councilperson Solomon moved to permit the race, Councilperson Hutton seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Councilperson Orsini announced that there are two applications for alcohol beverage licenses: 1) Huntley Jiffy Stores, Inc., and 2) Subs & Suds, on the strand next to Christy's. The manager for Jiffy Stores would be Tom Vaughan and the manager for Subs & Suds would be Paul G. Corbin. Police Department checks have been run on both appli- cants with no negative information received and the police department, as is their usual practice, stated that they have no reason to ask for denial of the licenses. Councilperson Hutton stated, after a motion to approve by Councilperson Orsini, seconded by Councilperson Solomon, that she would like to talk a little about the large number of licenses for alcohol beverages allowed. She questioned if it is possible to look into limiting the number of these licenses in some way. In the mean- time, she moved that! the motion to approve be tabled to allow time for study. A vote was taken and the motion to table passed by a vote of four (4) [Hutton, Orsini, Jackson, McCutchen] to two [Solomon and Wylly]. This vote was for tabling both requests. Police Commissioner Orsini asked it a moratorium, perhaps of one year, could be instituted by Resolution of Council. The City Attorney doubted that such an action could be legally upheld. Mayor Hosti then appointed a committee to investigate these requests further. The committee consisted of Police Commissioner Orsini as chairman, John Wylly and Jeanne Hutton. Paul Jackson's name was considered but Mr. Wylly objected because Mr. Jackson is himself the holder of an alcohol license; he was then asked to serve instead. The lengthy reading of the Alcohol Beverage Control Ordinance was read in its entirety. Councilperson Hutton moved its adoption on Second Reading, Councilperson Jackson seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Copies will be circulated to all holders of licenses for alcohol sales. 00100 Tybee Island, Georgia February 14, 1985 Page Fiie The first reading of a change in the Personnel Ordinance was read. The amendment was to Code of Ordinances, Section 2 -4 -6, Paragraph (d), Probationary Period. The change is the lengthening of the probationary period to six months rather than three months. After the reading Council - person Solomon moved its adoption, Councilperson Hutton seconded and the vote was unanimously in favor. Councilperson Solomon then moved that a Second Reading, by titles only, be held. This was unanimously agreed upon, and the Second Reading was also unanimous, The ordinance therefore, becomes effective as of this date; a copy is attached to and becomes a part of, these minutes. Councilperson Hutton then introduced amendments to the sign ordinance that have been suggested by the Georgia Department of Transportation to bring our local ordinance into compliance with the state law. These changes were read and Councilperson Hutton then moved the adoption with a second from Councilperson Orsini. Councilperson Solomon asked if the Planning Commission has recommended anything, and a letter from the Commission Chairman, Jeff Dukes, dated 2/5/85 was read indicating a recommendation for approval. It was explained that a few signs qualified for grandfather clauses and that the city cannot give final approval for any sign on state rights of way. Charles Masterpoulis asked about fences and Earl Anderson spoke briefly of the Zoning Board of Appeals decisions re- garding signs and the fact that some of the variances denied may not be valid. It was mentioned that there is a state law which covers the visibility at intersections, so that the city does not necessarily have jurisdiction over this, although in cases where traffic safety is concerned the Police Department traditionally has imput. The vote was unanimously in favor. Councilperson Hutton then moved that the Second Reading of the amendments take place immediately, reading by titles only. Councilperson Solomon seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The Second Reading also passed unanimously - the motion to approve was by Councilperson Orsini, seconded by Councilperson Hutton. Councilperson Wylly noted that a budget amendment is needed and called attention to the fact that the contingencies fund has a change of only $4,000. 1 1 1 00101 Tybee Island, Georgia February 14, 1985 Page Six He said this was an excellent indication that the budget has been carefully followed; he then moved that the budget amendments be adopted, noting that these amendments are for the last three months of the present fiscal year which ends in April. City Treasurer, Mrs. Phyllis Cary, can provide copies to anyone interested. This was unanimously accepted by the City Council with the understanding that a question concerning any line item could be brought to the Finance Committee in the next few days. On the Kohel re- zoning, Councilperson Solomon moved its approval; Councilperson Hutton seconded and the motion passed without dissent. The petition of Cecil DeLorme to sell a lower apartment of a four - unit building on Second Street and the Strand under the Georgia Condominium Law was accepted by the City Council without dissent after a reading of the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Councilperson Hutton reported that the committee for the new library facility on Tybee is making progress. She said that. the Chatham County Commissioners have asked for a feasibility study from CEL Regional Library and that she is very hopeful that the project will move rapidly. Councilperson Wylly reported that Senator Tom Coleman has written to Congressman Lindsay Thomas asking for an annual federal appropriation for beach erosion; it is hoped that both federal and state budgets will fund the project. Mayor Hosti noted that the riprap placement against the wall at the south end will begin within two weeks. Walter Parker spoke from the audience to ask two questions: 1) are steps planned across the riprap? Mayor Hosti answered that, due to difficulty in mounting them stably, steps will not be placed at 18th Street. There will be steps at 17th and 16th Streets. Mr. Parker's second question: is it necessary to close the entire parking lot during the construction? Mayor Hosti answered that it is his intention to keep access open insofar as possible, noting that the city is not supervising the project - the Corps of Engineers is. He promised to do his best to keep as much of the public area open as possible. Councilperson Solomon reported that the fishing pier committee is working and that the next step is an easement from the state which the city 1 1 1 00102 Tybee Island, Georgia February 14, 1985 Page Seven Attorney is preparing. Mayor Hosti thanked the Council for their hard work. City Attorney Mahoney reminded everyone that the suit against the city filed by the "Friends of Tybee" is proceeding and that he will report to the city officials privately concerning it. Councilperson David McCutchen said that the fund - raising campaign for the "Jaws of Life" was successful; the drive lasted two weeks and the equipment will be delivered shortly. He stated that this equipment will be demonstrated for the benefit of the fire department on Saturday, two weeks from now, and invited any of the audience who are interested to come and watch. He thanked the public for their quick response to the need for this piece of equipment. Mayor Hosti agreed, thanking all who contributed, and adding that he hopes it is a piece of equipment we will never have to use. Upon motion by Councilperson McCutchen, the meeting adjourned.
