on business. City Attorney Edward Hughes was present to represent
the City on legal issues.
Mayor Locklear stated that the meeting was for the first
reading of the zoning rewrite ordinance done by RDC, Zoning Task
Force, Planning Commission and the Zoning Administrator. The
Mayor said that he will open and closed the public hearing for
each section, the Council will then vote on each section.
Councilmember Hughes said that the turtle ordinance was left
out of this draft by mistake, but has been incorporated into the
new draft ordinance. Councilmember Hughes read suggestions
concerning variance definitions from the City Attorney. The Mayor
said that there are only 10 copies of the new draft ordinance and
requested that the audience share the copies.
The Mayor requested that the Council and the audience take a
few minutes to look over Article I Introduction, Section 1
through 4. Mayor Locklear opened the hearing on the above. There
were no comments for or against. Mayor Locklear closed the
hearing. Councilmember Hughes moved to accept on first reading.

Section 1 Terms and Definitions (a) and (b) - (1) through (12)
listed on page 1. Comments: Rusty Fleetwood questioned (B)(11)
Average adjacent grade asking if this means any clearing or
grading. Zoning Administrator said it means prior to any grading.
Mr. Jim Kluttz questioned (3) Air rights, public asking what
reasonably means in line 3. Councilmember Hughes answered this is
a requirement of DOT. Mr. Kluttz asked if there is a top limit.

and should be made as clear as possible. Councilmember Hughes

the hearing. Councilmember Hughes moved to adopt. Councilmember
Wildi seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Mayor Locklear opened the hearing on Article II Definitions,
(13) through (23) on page 2. Comments: John Hutton stated that
(22) Building Envelope keeps turning up like a bad penny,
building envelope encompasses the space of building, this is
wrong. Jeanne Hutton said that it is trying to set the height. Mr
Welker stated that the building and the envelope do not go
together, it needs changing. Rusty Fleetwood said he agrees with
Mr. Hutton, this will be a nightmare of enforcement. Mr.
Fleetwood said that in the present ordinance the building height
is defined and set at 35 feet. Mr. Hutton asked why we need this,

was never discussed by task force, simply appeared. Zoning
Administrator Byers said that it was discussed when we looked at
different ways of measuring building. Mr. Hutton said that it was
taken out by task force. Zoning Administrator said that it was
accepted by Planning Commission. Councilmember Hughes said that
we are just trying to define words. Mr. Kluttz asked about (20)
Buffers questioning whether height is important in the definition
and feels it should be added. Susan Dulany said that (18) Bed and
Breakfast is great for Tybee. Carl Thompson said to delete (22)
Building Envelope because it doesn't make much sense anyway, (56)
defines height of building. Mayor Locklear closed the hearing.

add the word height to (20) Buffer. Councilmember Hughes
seconded. Vote by Council unanimous.
Mayor Locklear opened the hearing on Article II Definition,

Caretakers Cottage being allowed in R -2, why not in R -1. Zoning
Administrator Byers said that guest cottages are addressed on
page 5 # (55). Mr. Kluttz said that he was looking at it from the
size of the property. Mrs. Byers said that 4,500 square feet is
required in R -1, caretaker cottages can not be rented, it is more
restricted. Mr. Kluttz said this is not consistent. Councilmember
O'Dell said he did not have a problem with (26). Mr. Hutton
stated that Mrs. Byers and Mr. O'Dell are not talking about lot
size. Councilmember Hughes read a definition for a carport - a
roofed structure providing a space for motor vehicles, to be
included on this page of the ordinance. Mayor Locklear closed the
hearing. Councilmember O'Dell moved to adopt page 3 with the
addition of the definition of a carport. Councilmember Wildi

Definitions (35) through (46) page 4. Jim Kluttz questioned the
difference in fire wall in (42) (b) & (c). Councilmember O'Dell
asked what is the definition of a party wall. Councilmember
Hughes read the definition of a fire wall. Councilmember O'Dell
said it is not consistence in these definitions. Jim Kluttz
recommended using the same wording in (42) (b) & (c). Zoning
Administrator Byers said that when we get into the building
section of the ordinance and accept SBCCI we will adopt these
definitions. John Hutton suggested taking out the words rated
common in (42) (b). Attorney Hughes said that we can have the
same definition in b and c. Councilmember O'Dell said (40) Drive
in Window sounds great but not many lots on Tybee can handle that
distance. John Hutton said that Checkers use the wrap around for
the footage. Councilmember O'Dell said linear means straight line
to him. Councilmember Remeta asked Rusty Fleetwood if he had any
question on (41) Dunes. Mr. Fleetwood said he has no problem with
the definition. Mayor Locklear closed the hearing. Councilmember

height is covered somewhere else. Zoning Administrator Byers said
yes, under general provisions. Councilmember O'Dell said there is
no way to regulate guest cottage in R -1 with adding a second
building. Councilmember Hughes stated that we have one now in the
City. Councilmember O'Dell asked where. Councilmember Hughes
answered Randy Warner on Bay Street. Mr. Welker said that it
still has to comply with the square footage requirements.

force. Mayor Locklear answered yes. Mayor Locklear closed the

Definitions (66) through (78) page 7. Rusty Fleetwood asked that
the word commercial be added to (77) Marina. Councilmember Hughes
asked about property line instead of lot lines. City Attorney
Hughes said he prefers property line. Mr. O'Leary asked what is
the purpose of the definition. Councilmember Hughes said the
definition is needed for subdivision. City Attorney Hughes stated
that it is only in subdivision regulation that it is needed,
everywhere else it is in square footage. Councilmember O'Dell
questioned (68) Lowest Floor. Zoning Administrator Byers said
this is a FEMA definition. Mayor Locklear closed the hearing.

for the turtles and it is right from DNR. The Mayor closed the
hearing. Councilmember Wildi moved to approve with the change in
(92) Patio by deleting last sentence and adding "Flooring for a

are added to this page. Kathy Williams asked that resident or
property owner be added to (94) Planning Commission. Also asked
if the marina was considered a restaurant. Zoning Administrator
answered yes. Jim Kluttz asked why (98) Principal Use is needed.
Zoning Administrator Byers said that this definition came out of
the old ordinance. Zoning Administrator Byers said that a
recombination of lots can be 3 lots with 5000 sq. feet each, one
PIN and you can reduce that to two lots. Jim Kluttz asked if a
public hearing is needed. Ms. Byers answered no. City Attorney
Hughes stated that PIN's are just for tax purposes and that if
there is a common owner it can be recombined if you subdivide.
Councilmember O'Dell asked about Fort Street. Ms. Byers answered
that Mr. Trey Clark created fewer lots than they had.
Councilmember O'Dell stated that they should come before Council.

have been there forever - some can not be moved. Councilmember

added to (129). Councilmember O'Dell said that (122) Substantial
improvements has been misinterpreted and needs to be addressed,
50% should be on the structure not on the land for any additions.
Rusty Fleetwood said that we are here for that one thing
Variance, to get a definition. There is a definition for hardship
from FEMA. City Attorney Hughes said that a hardship is on the
property, has to do with the lot itself. Rusty Fleetwood said it
is left up to the Mayor and Council, like the variance for Tybee
Market. Councilmember Remeta said that the hardship is actually
the heart of the problem, we have spent money to do this
ordinance, but still have the problem. Rusty Fleetwood asked when
was a use variance. Attorney Hughes said it is rezoned if he got
a variance stating again that the variance is related to the
property not the person. Attorney Hughes said that the trouble is
when you grant a variance without any standards then the next man
comes for a variance knowing the first man did not show any
hardship. Carl Thompson asked about (125) a. Rusty Fleetwood said
not only live oaks but any tree over 6 inches. The Mayor closed
