Tybee Island, Georgia
June 13, 1985
The regular monthly meeting of the Tybee Island City Council was held
on Thursday, June 13, 1985 at Tybee Island City Hall. Mayor Charles J. Hosti,
presided, calling the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. All members of City
Council were present: Paul Jackson, Jeanne Hutton, John C. Wylly, Jr., S. J.
Orsini, Earl Marlin and Chris P. Solomon. The City Attorney, Thomas J. Mahoney,
Jr., was also present.
Mayor Hosti called on Councilmember Jeanne Hutton, chairman of the library
committee, a group of citizens working for a new, expanded library facility for
the island. Councilmember Hutton introduced Mr. Burke Day, giving a brief bio-
graphical sketch of his father, Cecil Day, founder of the Days' Inns, and saying
that the first Days' Inn is here on Tybee Island and that the Day family has
always had close connections with the island, spending portions of their summers
here each year. Mr. Day also spoke briefly and movingly of his love for his
father and presented a $3,000.00 memorial gift in his Name, to be used for books
for the Children's Section of the new library. Mr. Day introduced an associate,
Mr. Carl Quarles, saying that they are currently at work on a project here,
Sunrise Townhomes,and -that he is also building a home here, and will be here
frequently.
Mayor Hosti accepted the donation with gratitude and introduced Ms. Irma
Harlan, Director of the CEL Library System. Ms. Harlan also thanked Mr. Day
for the contribution. Also in attendance to represent the library commitee
was Mrs. George McDonald, and to represent the CEL Library, and Tybee Branch
Library, Mrs. Polly Teuton and Mrs. Martha Walsh.
Mayor Hosti then introduced the advertised public hearings for three
rezoning petitions, as follows: (1) John Sapp, from R -1 to R -T; (2) Edward
Cawley from R -1 to R -T; (3) All R -1 areas to R -2 - a feasibility study re-
quested by City Council.
John Sapp spoke first, saying that his property is four apartments with
240 feet frontage on Van Horne. He explained that he is in an area surrounded
by R -T zones, that his property has always been business property and that he
would like it to be conforming.
Councilmember Hutton asked how he is inconvenienced by nonconformity.
Mr. Sapp said that his insurance coverage is higher because of noncon-
formity and more difficult to get. Councilmember Hutton asked if he has any
documentation of this since she has not heard anyone mention this kind of
1

June 13, 1985

Problem before. She asked who told him of the other problem he has mentioned
before, that he could not rebuild if fire destroys the property. Earl Anderson
spoke, saying that the zoning law won't allow him to rebuild. Councilmember
Hutton gave a code section 8 -4 -31 which states that rebuilding can occur within
one year. Mayor Hosti stated that differences of opinion of what the Code
allows can be determined by later examination.
Richard Grosse was the next speaker. He said that he is not speaking
in opposition to Mr. Sapp's rezoning, but only in opposition to making any de-
cisions on rezoning until after the Master Plan is submitted; he referred to
a letter he had written to state his position. The letter was read at the
June Planning Commission meeting.
Jim Kluttz spoke for the Kiblers, Eldridges, Harris' and himself,
asking John Sapp if he is willing to have his property reviewed with all other
properties as a part of the Master Plan? He said that he does not wish to see
John injured in any way, but he is opposed to rezoning.
Mrs. Cindy Spencer said that she has read the Code and that he states
what Mrs. Hutton said - Mr. Sapp could rebuild if he did so within one year.
Therefore she believes that rezoning is unnecessary.
Mrs. Marion Dean spoke, saying that Mr. Sapp's property is already spot -
zoned, being R -1 in a predominantly R -T neighborhood; she said that she considers
him as a neighbor asking for help.
Mayor Hosti passed the question over into the regular business of the
meeting. He then stated that Mr. Ed Cawley is not present, being out of town
and that his hearing, per his telephone request, will be postponed. Council -
member Hutton objected that a postponement would be so easily obtained, saying
that she feels it unfair to allow a postponement without a very good reason
for doing so.
Mayor Hosti introduced the question of R -1 zones become R -2, explaining
that there is no actual rezoning request, but a feasibility study requested by
the City Council.
Mrs. Dottie Kluttz spoke, asking if tonight is the only public hearing
on the question. Mayor Hosti answered that, if a change is made, the public
will definitely get a hearing.
Richard Grosse asked that a survey be made so that it will be known exactly
C(0003
Tybee Island, Georgia
June 13, 1985
Page Three
how many single family and how many multi family or nonconforming structures
are in the R -1 area, as many different opinions seem to exist. Mayor Hosti
said that this will be taken care of.
Burt Barrett, Jr. said that he has lived here 25 years and is buying
a lot behind his present home, adding that he is in favor of R -2 because the
lot he is buying doesn't meet the R -1 requirements.
Mrs. Thelma Peterson said that she has lived in Fort Screven since 1947,
owns three pieces of property there and is against a change in zoning, and
doesn't understand why it is even being discussed. Mayor Hosti answered that
the City Council made the request because of inquiries from citizens. He
repeated that the request was for a feasibility study, not for actual rezoning.
Jeff Schroeder spoke, saying that he owns a 9500 square foot lot in
Fort Screven and that he'd like to see it zoned R -2.
Bill Foran spoke saying that he was raised here on the island with John
Sapp. He praised the City Council for creating an effective Planning Commission
and wanted to know if the citizenry would have some imput into the Master Plan.
Mayor Hosti answered that, once the plan is presented, there will be a public
hearing on the whole plan prior to its adoption. He added that he is just as
anxious to see it as anyone and had hoped to have it much sooner. Planning
Commission chairman, Jeff Dukes, said that once the Planning Commission has a
recommendation it will be sent to City Council for action, and presumably for
a public hearing. Mr. Foran said that he is against spot rezoning of any
kind.
Mrs. Marion Dean asked if R -2 allowed business and Earl Anderson replied
that the only difference is that duplexes are allowed, and lots are smaller.
Councilmember Hutton stated that home occupations are permitted under R -2.
Mrs. Marjorie Harris spoke, saying that she owns no property here, but
lives in her son's house on Officers' Row. She said she believes something
is being overlooked: quality of life. She said that some news media called
Fort Screven a "slum ", but that hard work went into creation of the Historic
District. She stated that the Planning Commission decisions get overturned
regularly by the City Council and that there is money involved and she believes
some members of Council can't help but have that in mind.

Mayor Hosti answered Mrs. Harris by saying that he resents any implication
that the City Council, or any individual member, is motivated by selfish gain
and that he thinks an apology is due the group. He reiterated his earlier
statement that Council acted in response to citizens' queries in asking that
the R -1 zoning be studied. Mrs. Harris replied that this seems to be the only
place to express an opinion and that she did not necessarily mean that any
member was motivated by personal gain, but that money is an influential point
in zoning.
At the Mayor's request seven (7) letters from private citizens were
read into the record. Mr. Grosses letter was among these, but was not read
again because it had been read at the Planning Commission meeting, and each
member of Council had already read it. The other six (6) letters were from
citizens who wrote favoring R -2 zoning and who could not be present to speak.
Mayor Hosti then ended the hearing with a statement that zoning always
upsets people. He apologized to Mrs. Harris for speaking abruptly while chairing
the meeting and promised to try not to do so again.
Minutes of the May 9th meeting were approved as read upon motion by
Councilmember Hutton, seconded by Councilmember Solomon.
Bills for the month of May, 1985 were approved as follows:
Recreation $ 1,780.62
Fire $ 1,203.99
Police /Parking $ 7,749.26
Water /Sewer $13,184.95
Public Works /Sanitation $12,772.25
General Government $ 4,429.60
Councilmember Orsini asked if all rezoning issues could be voted on
at once and if the motion to postpone until seeing the Master Plan would be
in order.
Mayor Hosti consulted the City Attorney. He then stated, to the
audience, that he personally knows nothing yet of what the Master Plan might
contain and won't know any more than any other citizen until the presentation
on June 19th. He asked Mr. Sapp if he has any objection to waiting, and he
seemed not sure. Councilmember Marlin said that, if the rezoning is denied,
another hearing on the same property could not be held for a year; however,
postponement won't hinder hearing these requests again next month. He then
1

00005
moved that the rezoning issues be postponed until the July meeting. Council-
.
member Hutton seconded. 'during discussion Councilmember Wylly stated that it
has not been made clear that rebuilding must be done within a year if a non-
conforming use is to continue; otherwise it reverts to R -1. Councilmember
Solomon said that he doesn't think it is unreasonable to treat Fort Screven
as a part of Tybee Island. Councilmember Hutton asked again that everyone wait
for the master plan, saying that it will reflect information from many more
people than the ones in the hall this one night. She moved the question and
the vote was unanimously in favor. Mr. Sapp's petition will be delayed until
the July meeting.
Edward Cawley's petition was next considered; Councilmember Marlin moved
to delay it until July and Councilmember Solomon seconded. Councilmember Hutton
said again that she felt it unfair to the people attending the public hearing
for a petitioner to be allowed to just call in and say he's going to be out of
town. The vote was five (5) to one (1), with Mrs. Hutton casting the dissenting
vote.
Councilmember Solomon moved that consideration of the R -1 Zone change to
R -2 be postponed until the Master Plan is revealed, Councilmember Orsini seconded
and the motion passed unanimously.
The next item on the agenda was a flood damage control ordinance variance
for Mr. A. Ryan at 104 Butler Avenue. It was explained that Mr. Ryan's house
is built at an elevation of 13.79 feet above MSL, and the ordinance calls for
14.00 feet. The error seemed to be an honest mistake and Councilmember Orsini
moved that the variance be granted; Councilmember Wylly seconded and the motion
passed by a vote of six (6) to zero (0). The Clerk was instructed to prepare
the proper forms to be mailed to Mr. Ryan and to the Region IV FEMA office.
The second flood damage control ordinance variance request was made by
Mayor Hosti on behalf of the city. He explained that a prior administration
had built a public safety /bathhouse facility at Strand and Fifteenth Streets
at an elevation of 10.57, rather than the required 14 feet above MSL. The
lower floor of the building contains public restrooms, outside showers, life-
guard station and first aid /emergency area. Mayor Hosti stated that, for the
public's convenience, this facility was needed at this location and that the
building had to be accessible to handicapped people and that the variance had
1
00006

June 13, 1985
Page Six
never been formally granted, although the architect felt it was implied
at an early stage in the planning. He asked the City Council to take formal
action on his request and Councilmember Orsini moved that the variance be
granted, with a second from Councilmember Marlin. The vote was unanimously
in favor.
A contract for a DNR -EPD Grant was read and explained by Mayor Hosti.
The State Grant #85 -WS -17 is intended to work with a low- interest loan from
the Georgia Development Authority to be used for water improvements, including
a 150,000 gallon elevated tank and enlarged lines which will serve the area
annexed in 1983 and other portions of the island. A Resolution so affirming
was then read and passed by unanimous vote of Council. A copy is attached to,
and becomes a part of, these minutes.
The. City Attorney read a petition from Francis E. Williams, III for an
extension of the PUD he holds. The reason for the request, according to the
petition, is to grant extra time lost due to a suit against the developers
and the city by the "Friends of Tybee". Actual time of extension is from the
one -year deadline of August 2, 1985 until December 31, 1985. Councilmember
Orsini asked if this is exactly the amount of time lost because of the lawsuit.
Mr. Mahoney answered that this is less according to the petitioner who claims
he actually lost 7i months and is asking for a 5 month extension. A vote was
taken and the petition was granted by a vote of four (4) to One (1) with one
(1) abstaining. Councilmember Marlin formed the motion which was seconded by
Councilmember Solomon. Councilmember Wylly abstained and Councilmember Hutton
opposed.
A Resolution outlining an administrative procedure and enforcement
for the building and inspections department was read by the City Attorney.
Councilmember Hutton moved its adoption; Councilmember Orsini seconded.
Councilmember Solomon questioned whether there are any drastic changes in
this resolution, asking for an example, if an exterior paint job would require
a certified plat. Mayor Hosti answered that question negatively, further ex-
plaining that there is a need to eliminate so many stop orders having to be
placed and that the resolution is intended to clearly outline procedures so
that the public, and especially local contractors, will know what is necessary.

It is also intended to give notice to all interested parties that the city
intends to enforce all ordinances pertaining to building, and especially
those pertaining to flood damage control. The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
The City Attorney then explained that there is an ante litum claim
against the city in the amount of $100,000.00 for damages filed by Earl
Browne. He stated that, because it is a legal matter, he prefers not to
give a detailed explanation of the case since all Councilmembers have had
the opportunity to read this Councilmember Orsini moved that the claim be
denied and Councilmember Wylly seconded. The motion was adopted unanimously.
The City Attorney also informed the Council that the city's insurance carrier
has been notified and usually defends such cases.
Councilmember Marlin reported on the plans for a new fire station
and also reported that two volunteer firemen, Jack Youmans and Vincent
McCusker, have volunteered to go to train in operation of the new fire engine.
Mayor Hosti stated his belief that this is necessary - when a new piece of
equipment costing $90,000. is ordered, the city needs to be sure that it
will be operated and maintained properly - and that funds are budgeted for
this purpose, so no vote is necessary.
Councilmember Jackson apologized for not having a report on the city's
buildings and properties, saying that he and his committee will meet within
the next 2 or 3 weeks, and that he hopes to have recommendations for the City
Council at the July meeting.
Councilmember Wylly reported that the riprap is in place at the South
end of the island and that he thinks sand is accreting now, further protecting
the wall. He read a letter from Colonel Christman of the Corps of Engineers
dated May 31, 1985 in which the work is given over to the city for maintenance.
Mayor Hosti stated that this work was done with federal money and that he hopes
that the next federal budget will include funding for Stage II of the plan.
Edmund Solomon, the Building Inspector, reported on the month's building.
He explained that he has received the final certification necessary for the
Tybrisa Sales Office at #1 Fifteenth Street and that a variance is no longer
needed since the building, with its modifications recently made, now meets all
local codes.
1

June 13, 1985

He also reported that there are 31 new buildings under construction and 26
inenovation /addition projects, so the building industry is healthy at present.
The Zoning Administrator, Earl Anderson appealed to weekenders not to begin
building without permits, saying that the addition of decks is a particular
problem. He also went into further detail concerning the grandfathering of
existing buildings in nonconforming zoning areas. Mayor Hosti thanked him,
saying that this explanation can be made to him later.
Councilmember Wylly said that there was one item not on the agenda that
the City Treasurer would like handled if there is no objection. It concerns
the collection and distribution of local option sales tax and he outlined a
method of wiring the funds directly to the bank from the state, saying that this
is endorsed by GMA and will save time, allowing the city to receive credit for
deposit of these funds several days earlier than in the past. A Resolution to
this effect was read and Councilmember Wylly moved its adoption. Councilmember
Marlin seconded and the vote was unanimously in favor. A copy of the Resolution
forms a part of these minutes.
Councilmember Orsini brought before the group a request for a business
license by Doug Boyle. The license is for Av -Tech School which the applicant
describes as a ground tchool for operation of all aircraft. Councilmember
Orsini reminded Mr. Boyle of the sign which reads "Ultra Lite Rides ". Mr. Boyle
stated that this is a ploy to gain interest since he cannot legally give rides.
There was mention of a meeting in Mayor Hosti's office with FAA officials.
Councilmember Orsini stated his belief that the sign constitutes false adver-
tising and moved that the license be denied. Councilmember Hutton seconded.
During discussion Councilmember Solomon said that he sat in on the meeting and
didn't get the impression that the FAA has any law against what Mr. Boyle is
applying for, but that the state does have a law regarding aircraft flying over
beaches. Councilmember Hutton explained her concern for the public's safety
and said that the granting of a license by the city implies that the city is
willing to police and supervise this kind of business, but she doesn't believe
the city is able to regulate aircraft. Councilmember Solomon moved the question
be tabled until the next meeting, Councilmember Marlin seconded and the vote
was unanimously in favor.
Mayor Hosti, after asking the special committees to meet together as soon

cost estimate for proposed work with the fair market value of the property as
determined by the most recent tax assessment evaluation. If the addition or
renovation proves to be substantial, as defined in the ordinance, then criteria
for new construction must be applied.
3. Variance Requests: Variance requests shall be considered only
after the approved questionnaire has been completed and submitted, including the
certification of elevation of the lot, of the planned building, and especially
noting that the variance is not official without attachment of an as -built
elevation after the floor level has been established, and before further con-
struction proceeds. Stop orders will be issued in accordance to the "Code
Administrative Process" adopted elsewhere within the body of this Resolution.
Written notice shall be given to the petitioner as to the formal action taken by
the City Council.
4. Code Administration Process: A process for orderly inspection
and administration to be known as the "Tybee Island Code Administration Process"
is hereby adopted, and a copy is attached to, and becomes a part of, this
Resolution. It is specifically noted that this process is one that follows the
logical, orderly process of the building, and that no further work will be allowed

TO: All Inspectors (Fire, Building, Plumbing, Zoning, Electrical)
FROM: Charles J. Hosti,Mayor
RE: Building Permits
DATE: June 3, 1985
The flood damage control ordinance will be enforced.
Plans for any construction must be submitted to City Hall before any
permits will be issued.
Each set of plans will be reviewed individually by each inspector. If he
finds no violations he signs his approval. The Superintendent of Water/
Sewer must also review and sign, according to the availability of these city
services. After all these signatures are in place, the permit then goes
to the Mayor's office for review and signing. The building plans must
include the lot's certified elevation and the height of the foundation and/
or pilings that will raise the bottom of the supporting structure of the
lowest finished floor above MSL requirements by FEMA.
Periodic checks are to be made as follows:
1. See that a benchmark is in place, driven into a tree or some permanent
structure.
2. The footings must be inspected for "re- bars" and depth and width before
concrete is poured.
3. Verification of the height of the pillows or piling must be obtained
before any floor joists are installed.

4. After the house is "dried in" inspection of all required tie -downs
between the foundation and the house.
5. Plumbing must be inspected and pressure tested as required.
6. All electrical work must be inspected as required.
7. After all of the above has been approved, the dry wall may be put into
place.
8. The Building Inspector will double -check periodically and see that the
building is built according to the approved set of plans and if he finds
any variation he is not to issue an occupancy permit. That will eliminate
the adding of plumbing and electrical work.
9. The Building and Zoning inspectors are to give a proper report to the
Mayor and Council at each open monthly meeting.
10. Any flood ordinance violations will be immediately cited and taken to
Recorder's Court and a copy of the action will be forwarded to FEMA in
Atlanta.
11. The Mayor and Council will hold each inspector accountable for his
part in this inspection procedure and any violation of our Codes will
result in severe disciplinary action.

To authorize the Georgia Department of Revenue to release
on a monthly basis a magnetic tape to the National Bank of
Georgia stating the amount of funds due and payable to the City
of Tybee Island, Ga. for the preceding month from local
option sales tax collected pursuant to Article 2 of Chapter 8
of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated,
(hereinafter Article 2); to further provide that the release of
such a magnetic tape showing the amount of local option sales
tax funds due to the City of Tybee Island, Ga. shall relieve
the Georgia Department of Revenue of further responsibility for
the distribution of local option sales tax funds collected
pursuant to Article 2; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the Georgia Department of Revenue collects and
distributes local option sales tax funds for the City
of Tybee Island, Ga. pursuant to Article 2.
WHEREAS, these funds are presently delivered to the City by
the United States Postal Service; and
WHEREAS, an electronic transfer of such funds would be a
more efficient method of distributing the monies; and,
WHEREAS, such electronic transfer would make the monies
available to the City earlier than delivery by mail, and,
therefore, facilitate the operation of government for the
benefit of citizens of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City
of Tybee Island, Ga. hereby authorizes the Georgia
Department of Revenue to provide the National Bank of Georgia,
2000 Riveredge Parkway, Atlanta, Georgia 30328, with a magnetic
tape listing the amount of money due and payable to the City
of Tybee Island, Ga. for the preceding month from local
option sales tax collected pursuant to Article 2 of Chapter 8
of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, and to
deliver the tape at least one day prior to the twenty -third day
of each month. It is hereby understood that upon delivery of a
magnetic tape correctly stating the amount of the local option
sales tax due and payable to the City of Tybee Island, Ga.
for a given month pursuant to this authorization, and upon its
transfer of the local option sales tax funds to its account
with the National Bank of Georgia, the Georgia Department of
Revenue will have satisfied its legal and statutory duty, as
set forth in Article 2, to distribute the sales tax due to the
City of Tybee Island, Ga. for that month, and the City hereby
waives any right to assert and expressly releases the Georgia
Department of Revenue from any and all liability relating to
such transfer, to distribution of the tax stated on the tape,
and to any delay or loss occasioned by the transfer of funds
from the National Bank of Georgia to the City.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is directed to
immediately transmit a certified copy of this Resolution to the
