Chair Bishop called the July 26, 2018 Tybee Island Planning Commission meeting to order. Commissioners present
were Charles Matlock, Marianne Bramble and David McNaughton.
Old Business:
Text Amendment to Land Development code: Sec. 4-050 Zoning Districts (0) South End Business
Overlay District.
Chair Bishop started the planning commission meeting and stated this petition was on the July 16 Planning
Commission agenda and was voted to be continued for answers to questions raised at that meeting. Since then
questions have been answered and they are in front of the Commission tonight to look over. David McNaughton
asked why City Council wants to get to this by August 9. Is there a deadline involved? Chair Bishop stated there is
a moratorium that terminates in September and the consulting firm that is involved has a period on which they are
under contract and will expire soon. Chair Bishop read Commissioner Ron Bossick's comments aloud. Sarah
Ward approached the Planning Commission and stated she is the principle for Ward Architecture and Preservation.
Sarah Ward stated they are excited to help Tybee Island with this text amendment. Rebecca Fenwick approached
the Planning Commission and stated changes were made to the text amendment based on the comments from the
July 16 meeting, and this is what is before them. She also stated they decided to add the definitions into the text as
opposed to going into the general definitions list as part of the code. She stated if there are conflicts with variances
and setbacks the stricter standard will govern. She also stated there would be a phase after this that will be an
illustrated guide with sketches and examples. Sarah Ward stated there could also be some workshops with the
public to help make this more user friendly. Vickie Hammons approached the Planning Commission and stated she
is the vice Chair of the Tybee Island Main street and Development authority. She stated that this is very crucial to
this area and hopes it will be approved.
David McNaughton made a motion to approve. Marianne Bramble seconded. Voting in favor were David
McNaughton and Marianne Bramble. Voting against was Charles Matlock. Motion to approve carried, 2-1.
Marianne Bramble made a motion to Adjourn. Charles Matlock seconded. The vote was unanimous.
