deny. Mr. Jim Steffler said that this is a low density project on

letter from Chairman Frankenhauser of the Planning Commission
said this is a down grade in zoning, spot zoning and there will

the buffer wall will replace the 25 feet requirement. Mr.
Steffler answered yes, it will set it apart. Councilmember Wildi

Steffler said look at it from a view point of a condo project.
Councilmember Wildi asked how high would the wall be. Mr.

would be 10 single family homes between 2 hotels with lounges on
each side. Mr. Steffler said he has done this before.
Councilmember Wildi answered yes, you develop then leave, will
people be aware of the noise. Mr. Steffler answered yes.
Councilmember Wildi said that the location is unsuitable for
residential homes. Councilmember Remeta said that there are three
choices; large condo project, hotel, or 10 single family homes.
The homes would be low density, less traffic, less strain on the
water system and that it is a win win situation. Councilmember
1
1

Youmans said a lot of people are in favor of the 10 family homes,
but this is spot zoning. In my eight years on Council I have been
trying to stay out of spot zoning. Councilmember O'Dell said that
with PUD the Council has control, any deviation must come before
Council and that this PUD project is more in keeping with the new
trend on Tybee. Councilmember Youmans said that the request is
changing zoning from C -1 to PUD. City Attorney Hughes stated that
Mr. Steffler would have to come back before Council for the site
plan review. Zoning Administrator said no. Councilmember Hughes

Mayor Locklear opened the public hearing on a petition for a
height variance made by Mr. George Spirides at 1405 Strand, PIN
4- 7 -3 -7. Mr. John Pittman said that the roof is 42 feet 6 inches,
parapet is 44 feet, pediment is 48.6 feet at the apex in order to
cover all mechanical systems. Mr. Pittman said that Mr. Spirides
is willing to do what ever it takes to get it done and they have
been working on alternate ideas, they want what is in the best
interest of Tybee. Council and audience reviewed the plans with
Mr. Pittman. Mr. Michael De Marco, Manager of Tybrisa Beach
Resort spoke in favor saying that this restaurant is a unique
concept, it will not be just another bar and restaurant, people
will feel safe. Mr. De Marco said that a lot of money was being
spent and that the parapet is only for cosmetic purposes. Mr.
Mallory Pearce stated that the correct procedure was not
followed, they should be trying to negotiate with the community,
that it is junk and improper. Mayor Locklear asked Mr. Pearce to
sit down explaining that now is not the time to hear personal
complaints. Mr. Kenny McNeely said that the people of Tybee
Island spoke out at the last council meeting against the height
of 50 feet in C -1, and there is no hardship shown. Mr. Jim Kluttz
asked if these are the same plans that the Planning Commission
approve. Mr. Pittman answered yes, same plans. Mr. Kluttz said
that if this had come up three years ago and asked for the
Charter change and the height variance it would have never
passed. Mr. Kluttz said Mr. Spirides is smart by taking one step
at a time. Mrs. Jeanne Hutton said that Mr. Spirides offered
$300,000.00 for the air rights but the Council said only $100,000
1

would be necessary and tonight Council will give him the variance
on height. Councilmember Hughes said Mr. Spirides offered
$28,000.00 for the air rights and that the City negotiated up to
$100,000.00. Mr. Spirides said he is not playing smart, he is
playing fair and square. Mr. De Marco said that Mr. Spirides is
the largest tax payer on Tybee Island. Mrs. Hutton stated that
tourism is important, but when you increase the density residents
values go up and there is increased pressure put on the citizens.
Mr. Pittman said that the Planning Commission was an open forum
to discuss this project, and this project is not up against
residential buildings, there is a hardship because of the egress
under building to accommodate vehicles and fire trucks. Mayor
Locklear closed the hearing. Councilmember Youmans moved to
approve what the Planning Commission recommended. Councilmember
Hughes seconded. Vote by Council was 2 in favor (Hughes,
Youmans); 4 opposed (Remeta, Wildi, O'Dell, Jackson).
