The Mayor announced that he would be marching in the Veterans'
Day Parade November llth and invited everyone to join him. Mayor
Locklear explained that the Downtown Authority was dormant at the
present time, but he would like to see it back in action
explaining that this authority would help the commercial areas.
Mayor Locklear explained the reason for Tybee needing a
coastal engineer. he stated that the best firm would be Olsen
Associates out of Jacksonville, Florida. The Mayor turned the
discussion over to City Administrator Rowena Fripp. Mrs. Fripp
said that the cost per hour would vary from $37.00 per hour,

quoted prices were in line and that each contract would be on a
one to one basis coming before Council each time for a vote.

Mr. Bob Austin read a prepared statement from Tybee
Volleyball Chairman Jack Boylston requesting the City to
designate part or all of North Beach parking lot for special
events. Mayor Locklear said that Jack Boylston did come to the
agenda meeting and explained to Council what the committee was
going to do about incorporating and forming a Special Events
committee. The Mayor said that Council would decide on the events
on a case by case request. Councilmember Youmans said that he was
glad to hear the Mayor state that because of the 45 to 50
thousand dollars of revenue that the City would lose if this was
passed. Councilmember Remeta asked that the committee consider
different sites like Memorial Park.
The Mayor announced that he was chairman of this area for
the collection of gifts for the Georgia Regional Hospital. He
also announced that donations for the Burkes are being taken at
the DeSoto.
Mallory Pearce gave a report from the Environmental
Committee on composting, field guide on plants and animals, and
the land trust. Chris Schubert gave a summary on the Chatham
County Environmental Forum of which he and Mallory Pearce are
seeking membership. Mayor Locklear said that Mr. Pearce is
helping 2 scouts achieve the status of Eagle.
Angela Byers, Zoning Administrator, presented definitions on
zoning d through z. Councilmember Youmans said he questions the
whole situation, especially the height portion that would measure
from the living area to the top of construction. Mrs. Byers
answered that there are two definitions and that Council would
decide which one to adopt. Councilmember Youmans stated that the
RDC is suppose to be straightening out the ordinances not
changing them. Councilmember Remeta said that he is worried about
height definition on page 7 - top of building to the ground. Mr.
John Hutton, a member of the Zoning Task Force, said that to
clarify the issue for Council is that the Task Force has one
definition and the Planning Commission has another. The Task
Force wants to keep the old definition. Mr. Jim Kluttz said that
people are spending hours on this but that the Public Forums are
not being held, this issue cannot be adopted in one meeting. The
Mayor said that people will have an opportunity to speak at as
many forums it takes to clarify the issues. At least now we have
something to work with concerning the definitions.
Mr. John Hunter, Jenny Orr, and Margot Grafton spoke against
the Occupation Tax and Regulating fees ordinance that is coming
before Council tonight for a second reading. Mr. Hunter asked
Council to table the second reading until a discussion between
Council and business owners can be arranged. Mayor Locklear said
that we are into double digits from the Hotel/ Motel taxes for
seven months. We need to work on November through March for a
year round season. Councilmember Youmans said that since we are
getting so much extra money from Hotel /Motel taxes that we need
to leave the business license fees alone.

Mayor Locklear opened the public hearing on a request for a
site plan review made by Kevin Matthews. Planning Commission
recommended approval. No one spoke in favor. Mr. Tom Fassig of 11
Lighthouse Lane said that he opposes. He stated that he attended
the Planning Commission meeting and was asked two questions: 1.
How long have you lived on Tybee ?; 2. How much land do you own?
Mr. Ferrig said that he feels that these questions have nothing
to do with the request made by Ms. Matthews. Every person who
spoke was asked the same questions. Mr. Ferrig said that the
marshland is being added into the lot size requirements.
Councilmember Youmans stated that has nothing to do with what
they can build. Councilmember Hughes said that the setback would
be considered later, this is just the site plan, the tree
ordinance will be enforced. Councilmember Remeta said that since
the land is zoned R -T a hotel could be built. Shirley Ann Martin
spoke in opposition also. Mayor Locklear closed the hearing.
Councilmember Youmans moved to approve. Councilmember Jackson
seconded. Vote by Council was 5 in favor (Hughes, Youmans,
Remeta, Wildi, Jackson); 1 opposed (O'Dell).
Mayor Locklear opened the public hearing on a petition for a
setback variance made by Alvin and Joyce Davis PIN 4- 7 -6 -3, #2
14th Street. The Planning Commission recommended approval. Mr.
Davis said that he wants to build a garage addition to his home.
Councilmember Hughes asked what is the hardship? Mr. Davis said
the driveway, the parking lot traffic veers towards his property
and it makes it difficult to back up. Councilmember Hughes stated
that this happens all over the island, so this could not be
considered a hardship. Councilmember Youmans asked if this
property is R -T and requires a 20 foot setback. Mrs. Byers
answered yes a 20 foot rear setback is required for that zoning.
Councilmember Remeta said that he can see how backing out would
be a problem. Councilmember O'Dell said a Coke machine sits right
in front of his home. Councilmember Youmans said a garage would
not help his hardship, the hardship being he can not back out.
Mr. Davis said it is hard to explain. If I have a garage I can
back out, turn around and go out front way. Councilmember O'Dell
said that he went by property this a.m. and that the neighbors
have no problem with the variance. Mr. Davis said he plans to
build a bedroom over the garage. No one spoke in favor. No one
spoke against. Mayor Locklear closed the hearing. Councilmember
Hughes moved to deny. Councilmember Jackson seconded. Vote by
Council was 2 in favor (Hughes, Jackson); 4 Opposed (Youmans,
Remeta, O'Dell Wildi). Councilmember Remeta moved to approve the
variance. Councilmember O'Dell seconded. Vote by Council was 3 in
favor ( Remeta, Wildi, O'Dell); 3 opposed (Youmans, Hughes,
Jackson). Mayor broke the tie by voting to deny the variance.
Mayor Locklear opened the public hearing on a major
subdivision request made by agent Allen Hendrix for Phase II
Eagles Nest. Planning Commission approved subdivision. Mr.
Hendrix said that he spent two hours going over everything to do
with the subdivision at the Planning Commission meeting.
Councilmember Hughes said that the information Council received
1
1
1
from the Zoning Administrator had 18 points that needed to be
addressed. Mr. Hendrix said that all points were gone over with
the Planning Commission and that the engineers have gone back to
the County. Councilmember Jackson said the main concern is the
widening of the road to 60 feet. All the trees would have to be
removed and feels that a 40 foot road way is the best option and
would be adequate since it is a private road. Councilmember
Youmans said this is a new major subdivision. Mayor Locklear
asked Mr. Hendrix how many lots? Mr. Hendrix said 30 lots. No one
spoke in favor. Mr. Lee Stewart, Mr Michael Fleetwood, Mr.
Mallory Pearce, Mrs. Carolyn Stewart, Mr. Bud Hackney, Mr. Ken
Rushing stated their concerns and opposition to the granting of
this subdivision. Mr. Hendrix said that he would like to make
everyone happy, and that the developers, Riverside, will go half
on the paving of Phase I, and there will be a deceleration lane.
Riverside is spending a lot of money. Mr. Stewart said that in
Phase I there are 9 acres with 12 lots, in Phase II there are 12
acres with a projection of 30 lots, the cost of paving Phase I
would be approximately $8,000.00 and I will not pay for my road
being paved. The required footage in Phase II includes the marsh
area. Councilmember Remeta questioned the 10 lots that are 5,000
square foot. Mr. Hendrix said that is the high land, but with the
marsh included there are 12,000 square feet plus. Councilmember
O'Dell asked if this met with our subdivision regulations? Mrs.
Byers said all does except the right of way. Mr. Michael
Fleetwood asked that lots 1 - 10 be combined into 5 lots. The
developers could get a higher price for a larger lot. Mr.
Fleetwood asked that Council vote on the intent of law, protect
Phase I's investment. Mrs. Stewart stated that marsh should not
be allowed as part of required footage. Mr. Bud Hackney said he
was not going to pay for the paving of the road so that the
developer could rape the land. Mr. Rushing stated that if
developed 65% of the trees would be cut down, he also said that
he could split his lot and sell it like the developer is doing in
Phase II. Councilmember O'Dell stated lots are 12,000 square
foot; then he calls for the vote. Councilmember Youmans said
that Planning Commission approved as long as all conditions are
met. Mayor Locklear closed the hearing. Councilmember Remeta
moved to table. Councilmember Wildi seconded. Councilmember
Hughes recommended an amendment to table to Planning Commission
until the 18 points on the list from Chatham County Engineers
have been addressed. Councilmember Remeta withdrew his motion.
Councilmember Wildi seconded the amended motion. Voting in favor
to table to Planning Commission were Hughes, Remeta, Wildi;
opposed Youmans, O'Dell, Jackson. Mayor Locklear broke the tie by
voting in favor to table to Planning Commission.
A 7 minute break was called by Mayor Locklear at 9:40 P.M.
The October bills were reviewed, found in order and
recommended to be paid by Council.

Mrs. Dorothy Breakstones request for a variance was tabled
from the October Meeting. Mrs. Breakstone said that Mr.
Frankenhauser, Chairman of the Planning Commission, came by and
told her that if the structure was sitting right on the ground
that it would be allowed. Mrs. Breakstone stated that she plans
to have a small retaining wall because of the slope of the land.
Councilmember Youmans stated that the City allows utility
building to be placed on the ground. Councilmember Jackson asked
if a variance was needed? Councilmember Youmans said no.
Councilmember Hughes said that a building permit was needed.
Councilmember Jackson moved to table the second reading on
ordinance 3 -2 -51 through 3 -2 -73 Occupation Tax. Councilmember
Youmans seconded stating that the businesses have a short season
on Tybee and there is no reason to charge this much money. Voting
in favor to table were Remeta, Youmans, Jackson; opposed Hughes,
O'Dell, Wildi. Mayor broke the tie by voting not to table.
Councilmember Wildi moved to change the pouring license to
$1,150.00 and accept all of the other sections. Councilmember
O'Dell seconded. Vote by Council was 5 in favor (Hughes, Remeta,
O'Dell, Wildi, Jackson); 1 opposed (Youmans).
Councilmember Remeta moved to adopt Section 4 -1 -2 Powers and
Duties of Police Officers on its second reading. Councilmember
O'Dell seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Councilmember Hughes said the City has received a request
for Savannah Crush festival for '95 events, which would be a
three day event, stating that the City has letters from Attorney
Roy Allen and Savannah State stating that they were not involved
with request. Councilmember Youmans said if we deal with them at
all, lets give the same conditions as last year. Mayor Locklear
asked the Police Committee to meet for discussion on this matter
and that he and Mrs. Fripp will write an answer to the request,
Council will see it before it is mailed.
Councilmember Hughes moved to accept the proposal from
Sallie Hagan, the auditor, for the up coming years stating that
it will be a 5% rate increase from last year ($7,710.00).
Councilmember Youmans seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Councilmember Youmans moved to table any discussion on

Re: Coastal Engineering Consultant Selection
Dear Ro:
Coastal Engineering
Pursuant to your recent request, we have enclosed with this letter a listing of our
most recent hourly rates for professional services (Attachment A). The latter would be
applicable to the negotiation of both Time and Materials and fixed price type contracts.
With respect to the potential future requirements of the City of Tybee Island, I
would suggest that you consider negotiating fixed price contracts for the islandwide
monitoring program, and /or other potential "specific" studies of interest such as computer
modeling of shoreline changes, engineering analysis of structural alternatives in the
vicinity 2nd Street to supplement the federal project, etc. Similarly, I would suggest that
you may wish to negotiate a T&M arrangement with your consultant for work associated
with liaison with the Savannah District, Corps of Engineers, Georgia DNR, G.P.A., etc.
For purposes of clarification, although the City of Tybee Island retained our
engineering services for purposes of designing the South Beach Stabilization Project, the
City will not need to defray the costs of engineering supervision during the construction
of those works. We have been retained by the G.P.A. to perform that Task through their
Port Consultant, Lockwood Greene, essentially in your behalf.
Similarly, we successfully sought to modify in the City's behalf the scope -of -work
required by the Georgia DNR for future monitoring of the shoreline of Tybee Island. The
previous scope had been submitted by A.T.M. as a subconsultant to the GPA and called for
monthly surveys. In our opinion, such an effort would have been overly expensive
without serving any useful purpose. Accordingly, at our request the GPA allowed us to
submit a substitute scope -of -work to the Georgia DNR which they ultimately accepted.

We greatly appreciate the City's consideration in the pending consultant selection
process and feel exceptionally well qualified to assist your office and the City Council in
matters pertaining to the restoration of the Tybee Island shoreline. As a result of our
previous several years of experience with the City -of Tybee Island, we firmly believe that
we are not only the most technically qualified consultant, but also the best prepared to
assist you in cost effectively seeking and maximizing federal cost sharing for the Section
934 Beach Erosion Control Project. We likewise continue to be of the opinion that other
potential avenues of future financial assistance are available to you via Section 933 of the
River and Harbor Act which allows for beach disposal of compatible sediment derived
from future navigation project maintenance dredging. A copy of a similar Section 933
request submitted by our firm in behalf of the Town of Hilton Head Island is induded with
this letter.

Dear Ro:
I am writing to request that the City of Tybee Island consider extending the current audit
contract for another three years to include the years ending December 31, 1994, 1995,
and 1996.
As you know, I have assisted the City through last year's accounting software transition
and issuance of the 1994 Water Sewer Revenue bonds this year. I believe the audit will
require special attention this year because of changes in state auditing requirements and
because of numerous issues relating to the 94 Revenue Bonds. I believe my firm is best
qualified to perform the audit.
My proposed audit fee will be $ 7,710 (5% increase over 1993) for the year ending
December 31, 1994 and will increase by 5 percent annually for each succeeding year that
the contract is renewed. Advisory services up to 30 hours per year are included in the
price above. Additional services provided beyond 30 hours will be billed at a rate of $60
per hour. If selected to perform the City's audit we agree to submit a final audit report no
later than February 28, 1995.
The audit shall be conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States.
Beyond my three years experience auditing the City of Tybee Island, I have extensive
experience in performing other governmental and non-profit organisation audits as
follows:

year, for up to three years. I will also provide up to 30 hours accounting and computer
