for a 5’ setback on Wilson and 11’ setback on Naylor to leave the already approved 6’ setback
from Wilson and now asking solely for an 11’ setback from Naylor, which is a 9’ difference from
what is required. Mr. Shaw stated the Planning Commission voted 3-2 in favor of this request
and Staff has recommended approval. Carmela Aliffi approached Mayor and Council stating
the biggest difference is they have decided to keep the two trees, pine and oak. Daniel
Snyder, Architect, stated the house is being engineered so footings of the residence will
protect the trees and the drainage will be such as to water the roots of the trees. Monty
Parks made a motion to approve. Wanda Doyle seconded. Vote was unanimous to approve,
5-0.
Special Review, Consideration of Building into the “Toe of the Dune” Line; 2 8 th
Place. PIN 4-0006-02-001. Stephen and Annette Friedman. Monty Parks recused.
George Shaw approached Mayor and Council. Mr. Shaw stated the Friedman’s have a home
at the end of 8th Place, facing the beach, and the dunes are now coming to the base of the
home. They are requesting to push the dunes back approximately 30’ away from their home.
He stated Staff recommends only 10’ to protect the structure. Planning Commission
recommended denial for the submittal with a 4-1 vote. Ms. Doyle asked Mr. Shaw to confirm
the property line is approximately 60’ or more behind the residence. Mr. Shaw confirmed. Ms.
Livingston stated Mr. Friedman would like to push the dune that is against his house out where
the next dune field is located. Mr. Shaw confirmed. Mayor pro tem Brown stated the sand dune
that is encroaching their home, if pushed back will fill in the gap that is currently in place and
does not see a problem in what the Friedman’s would like to do. Mr. Branigin stated the issue
of 30’ is largely irrelevant as the Friedman’s are asking for permission to work with DNR to have
a solution. He does not see why the City needs to get involved in prescribing the solution as
DNR might recommend another solution. Mr. Shaw confirmed and stated this is just a step in
the process the Friedman’s are going through with DNR. Mayor pro tem Brown spoke of an
example with a resident on Chatham Avenue where they worked with DNR for a solution. The
sand was moved back on the beach and a dune was built. Mr. Hughes reminded Mayor and
Council this request is for Special Review, and there are different standards applicable to one as
opposed to the other requests on the agenda for public hearing. Ms. Doyle clarified with
Special Review, Mayor and Council can impose conditions if needed. Stephen Friedman
approached Mayor and Council. Mr. Friedman commented Mr. Branigin stated the issue
correctly as there are two issues. One being the dune has gradually over time moved against
the side of their home. The toe of the dune line is in fact the wall of their home. The second
issue is the property immediately to the west has a severe flooding problem with any significant
rainfall. Mr. Friedman submitted a plan to DNR which recommends moving the dune and
installing a pump and catch basin system to pump the water to underneath the moved dune.
Mr. Friedman stated the high water mark is 564’ away from his home and there are three dune
structures they do not have any intent to move, only the one against their home. He continued
DNR marked their property as 100% jurisdictional delineation. Mr. Friedman stated as a
result, he has filed a lawsuit with the DNR. He reminded Mayor and Council DNR has a hard
and fast rule they will not formally consider his application until they, Mayor and Council,
approve his request to move forward with negotiations with DNR. Demery Bishop, Chair,
Planning Commission, approached Mayor and Council. Mr. Bishop stated at the recent
Planning Commission meeting there was tremendous discussion concerning Mr. Friedman’s
request. As presented to the Planning Commission, it was as Special Review. As Special
Review, by Code, requires there be federal, state and local requirements present in order to
alter or move or change the dune structure in any way. He continued, the Planning
Commission considered that and as a result, the Commission did not feel all the items have
been met. Mr. Bishop agrees with Mr. Branigin in that Special Review is what the Planning
Commission is about and that is to make a decision as to whether or not there should be a
- Page 7 -
change that would be not to a detriment but to a benefit to the landowner. Clearly having been
at that property prior to the Friedman’s ownership, the dune has been encroaching for some
time and is a problem. Mr. Bishop stated the relocation of the dune was not acceptable by the
Planning Commission and in this instance, from a planning perspective, would be to the benefit
of the property owner and to the City of Tybee to allow this. It was the undertone of the
Planning Commission even though the motion of the Planning Commission was to deny. Ms.
Doyle confirmed a letter from DNR stating what Mr. Friedman needs has not been received and
will not be received until such time as Mayor and Council approve moving forward. Mr. Hughes
stated Mayor and Council can approve the Special Review Application but the work cannot occur
until DNR issues a permit and then be entitled to a permit from the City. Barry Brown made a
motion to approve. John Branigin seconded. Vote was unanimous to approve, 4-0.
Monty Parks returned to the City Council Meeting.
Zoning Variance, Consideration of Building in Front Setback, 1307 5th Avenue. PIN
4-0011-05-015. Ronald and Carlette Calloway. George Shaw approached Mayor and
Council. Mr. Shaw stated the Calloway’s currently have adjoining lots and one home is a small
cottage on the ground and has severely flooded on several occasions. The request is to remove
that building and rebuild using the setback the other building has, which is approximately 9.5’.
The required setback is 20’. Staff feels this request does not meet the City’s variance ordinance
requirements, as it is still a buildable lot without a variance. The Planning Commission voted 3-
2 to deny. Mr. Shaw confirmed with Ms. Doyle there is no hardship and the petitioner could
build a home on the lot. Mayor pro tem Brown stated the petitioner is trying to build a front
line in the exiting footprint, which has been done on several occasion in the past. Ms. Livingston
confirmed the variance is just for the front setback. Mr. Shaw confirmed. Mr. Parks stated if a
residence is destroyed, the owner can rebuild in the existing footprint but if the residence is
voluntarily torn down you must meet Code. For clarification, there was a lengthy discussion
regarding the rebuilding of the house in the existing footprint. Mr. Parks stated he is not in
favor of this, as the petitioner needs to follow Code. Mr. Calloway approached Mayor and
Council. Mr. Calloway stated they have two lots and have a three bedroom raised house and a
cottage. They originally lived in the cottage and built a raised house. In 2005 when the house
was finished, it was pinned together with the cottage and was used as a fourth and fifth
bedroom. This was also used for a ground level bathroom and kitchen for the outdoor area.
Reason for building the new house, Mr. Calloway stated, is he needs a 33’ x 50’ area to build a
house with an elevator. Mr. Calloway stated he does not want to cut down the tree on his
property and presented two letters from neighbors stating they are in favor of keeping the tree.
Barry Brown made a motion to approve. Wanda Doyle seconded. Voting in favor were
John Branigin, Wanda Doyle and Barry Brown. Voting against were Julie Livingston and Monty
Parks. Vote to approve, 3-2.
