Consideration of Minutes:
Chair Bishop asked for consideration of the December 17, 2018, meeting minutes. Alan Robertson made a
motion to approve. Vice Chair Ron Bossick seconded. The vote to approve was unanimous.
Disclosures/Recusals:
Chair Bishop asked if there were any disclosures or recusals. There were none.
Old Business:
Chair Bishop asked if there was any old business. There was none.
New Business:
Chair Bishop asked to read into the record a letter from Demery Bishop and the other members of the
Planning Commission to Alan Robertson, Charles Matlock and David McNaughton. "I would, feel
remiss as Chair of our Planning Commission if I did not take a moment to express to you my sincere
appreciation for the countless hours each of you have devoted of your personal time to Planning
Commission agenda items over the past two years. I truly believe that, as a volunteer body, we have
coalesced into a caring, dedicated and professional entity by representing the citizens of Tybee Island
and placing their welfare and wellbeing first and foremost. It is a distinct pleasure to serve with each
of you and the other members of this commission, Maryann, Ron and Tina, and I thank each of you for
the same."
Text Amendment: Sec. 2-010 Terms & Definitions — Text changes.
George Shaw approached the Planning Commission and stated the way this ordinance reads right now
could be interpreted as allowing elevators to open above the thirty-five foot height limit. He stated this
is a rough draft to change the wording to make it very clear that if it is necessary to have mechanicals
or elevator shaft extending above the thirty-five feet but not to allow the elevator open to the roof. Vice
Chair Ron Bossick stated the wording does not clarify what we need to interpret. George Shaw stated
passenger ingress and egress could be added if that clarifies it better. Alan Robertson made a motion to
include the wording "The portion of 'an elevator shaft necessamy for the operation of an elevator may
extend above thirty-five feet but no passenger ingress or egress elevator doors may open above thirty-
frve feet." Charles Matlock seconded. The vote to approve was unanimous.
Adjournment: Vice Chair Ron Bossick. Marianne Bramble seconded. Meeting adjourned at 7:30pm.
