1997- 11 -13. City Council Meeting
The Tybee Island City Council was called to order by Mayor
Walter W. Parker on Thursday, November 13, 1997 at 7:30 P.M. The
following members of Council were present: Ed Merves, Jack
Youmans, William Remeta, Michael A. Hosti, Mallory Pearce and
John O'Neill, Jr. City Attorney Edward Hughes and City Manager
Bill Farmer were present.
Reverend Lee Bennet gave the invocation. The Pledge of
Allegiance was recited by the audience.
Mr. Vincent McCusker made an announcement that the American
Red Cross needed drivers to deliver and pick up blood in Georgia
and the surrounding areas. Anyone interested may call the Red
Cross on Habersham Street. Youmans asked if you had to volunteer
for a time before you started getting paid. McCusker said no.
Mr. Harvey Ray asked Council to consider carefully before
deleting the Special Events coordinator from the 98 budget. Ray
stated that Mary Ingalls has done an outstanding job. Ray said
that Ms. Ingalls has paid out of her pocket in order to have the
Sunday Jazz on the Pavilion. Ray announced that the December
concert will be from 2 P.M. until 4 P.M. These concerts are free
to the public. The concerts invokes memories of Old Tybrisa for
older citizens. Ray said that the word is out about the concerts
and he has had some phone calls from musicians as far away as
California. These concerts mean business for Tybee. They are a
gift to people who visit and live here on Tybee. Ray stated that
he does a fitness program on the beach 3 days a week, plus he
works at the visitor center a few days a week.
Mayor Parker opened, asked for comments, and closed the
following public hearings according to law:
1. Assistant City Manager Rowena Fripp presented the 1998
budget to Council. Ms. Fripp stated that the budget is
in notebook form and that there is one in City Hall and
in the Library for inspection by the citizens. Ms.
Fripp explained the increases in the budget and said
that she compared Tybee with other cities with
populations of 10,000 and 5,000. Ms. Fripp said that
there is a raise in the budget for garbage fees and for
water sewer fees. (Attached to these minutes are two
memorandums from Ms. Fripp on Capital Funding Sources
and one on 1998 Budget - Revenue). Youmans said that if
we are going to keep increasing fees why not put the
milage at 20 and be done with it. Fripp answered that
user fees are much fairer for a small family. All
owners have to pay advalorem taxes and we need to keep
it low. Taxes are a big factor in seniors decision on
where to live. Youmans said that he made a motion years
ago that when the garbage franchise fee went up for the
city then that costs should be passed on to the users.
Fripp said that a city with 10,000 citizens spend
$52.73 a year per capita while Tybee pays $144.51 a
year per capita. Fripp said that we must pay to
transport about 40 miles to the nearest lined land
1

fill. Mr. Bucky Chafin suggested that we do away with
the contract, buy equipment, hire 3 people and do it
ourselves. Parker said that a study was done by Frank
O'Neal about 5 years ago. Fripp said that we would have
to haul everything to the transfer station.
2. The adoption of a moratorium for communications towers would
suspend action for a short period of time. This moratorium
states 3 months in which time a ordinance can be drafted,
reviewed, advertised and adopted.
3. A petition for a minor subdivision of a duplex for Mr. Rick
Hogan at 26 -28 Captain's Row was presented by Zoning
Administrator Byers. Byers stated the fire wall is in place
and that the wording is on the plat. Planning Commission
recommended approval.
4. Councilmember Hosti excused himself as his father owns the
property in question. Mr. Dick Smith presented Mr. Frank
Koncul's petition for a major subdivision with lot reduction
at 39 -41 Van Horn, 2 -10 Meddin Drive, 1 -7 Waxwood. Smith
said that there are 6 lots of record and 1.3 acres. This
would be a 10 lot subdivision. The lots range in square
footage from 7,100 to 11,628. Smith said that Council has
approved lot reduction for Allen Hendrix's subdivision
across the street from this property. Youmans stated that it
took Hendrixs 3 years to get approval from Council. Smith
said that it is proposed for ten homes in the $160,000 price
range. Youmans said that we can not keep people from
bringing in mobil homes and that they could be placed on a
substandard lot of record and conform to all set backs, plus
the more building means more revenue for the City. Merves
said that he does not agree with the theory of more people
more dollars. In bigger cities you have higher taxes. Merves
said he has not heard a hardship. Remeta said that we are
trying to encourage single family homes and that he is a
people person and he does not mind people making a profit.
Remeta stated that 12,000 square feet is ridiculous for
Tybee Island, they are just shifting footage around to other
lots. Remeta said that he feels sorry for Hendrix because
some of the people in that area held him to 12,000 square
foot lots, we need affordable housing on Tybee. O'Neill said
that the code states overall neighborhood and that there are
very few 12,000 square foot lots.
5. Mr. Phil O'Dell presented his site plan review for a fast
food restaurant, take out only at 602 Highway 80. The
building will be 15 feet by 50 feet, with 4,000 square feet
of green space, 15 foot buffer on back and 2 foot buffer on
sides. Merves asked if it was take out only and if O'Dell
had thought about car hop thing? O'Dell answered yes to take
out only, and if this is successful maybe the car hop idea
but right now there are only 3 tables for walking traffic.
O'Dell said that he owns the adjacent property in the back
where any runoff water would drain. Pearce said that
Planning Commission recommended approval as a sketch plan
only. O'Dell stated that it is a site plan that he wants and
asked Pearce what else do you. want. Pearce said that Mr.
1

Koncul's shows more detail. O'Dell said that there are three
oak trees on the property and he plans to leave them. Pearce
asked about the curb cut. O'Dell answered that he has
applied to DOT to widen the curb cut.
Mayor Parker opened the meeting for business legally
presented to Council. Youmans moved to approve the minutes as
written. Pearce seconded. Hughes said that on page 4 there is an
error that needs to be corrected concerning the 3% a year for
each 5 years. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Fripp said that the 98 budget was for information and that
it will be refined and Council will adopt a Resolution at the
December llth meeting.
Youmans moved to deny the moratorium on communication
towers. Remeta seconded. O'Neill said that it would only be in
effect for 3 months. Hosti asked for a deadline. Parker said it
is stated 3 months in the moratorium. Youmans said that a number
of people are contacting companies about putting towers on their
property and we are talking about stopping them for 3 months?
Remeta said if government can do it then private citizens should
be allowed. Pearce said that we can not turn down but we can
regulate, we need to have ordinance in place. Remeta said that
towers do not affect density or water sewer treatment plant
capacity and he would rather have a tower next to him than a 6
story building. Hosti asked that we need to consider what the
people on the island want. O'Neill said does this moratorium gear
to exclude the city from further negotiations. Hughes answered
no, it does not prohibit the City. O'Neill asked Hughes if
Council would be in violation of the Communication act of 97 if
we adopted this moratorium? Hughes answered no. Vote by Council
was 2 in favor of the motion (Youmans, Remeta); 4 oppose (Merves,
Hosti, Pearce, O'Neill). Pearce moved to approve the moratorium,
Merves seconded. Voting in favor were Merves, Hosti, Pearce, and
O'Neill. Opposed were Youmans and Remeta.
Youmans moved to approve the minor subdivision on a duplex
for Rick Hogan. Remeta seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Youmans moved to approve the major subdivision with lot
reduction for Mr. Frank Koncul for the Hosti property on Van
Horn. Remeta seconded. Vote by Council was 3 in favor (Youmans,.
Remeta, O'Neill); 2 opposed (Merves. Pearce). Hosti stepped out
the room while discussion was going on between Councilmembers.
Pearce moved to adopt O'Dells' concept as a sketch plan and
not as a site plan. Parker said this is a sketch plan a site
plan; has more information. Hughes said it must be voted on as a
site plan. Hosti moved to accept the site plan review for Phil
O'Dell. Both Youmans and O'Neill seconded. Remeta said that it
will be a nice place and he can not see a problem, the Quarter
Bar is right next door. Remeta said that you all are acting like
he can build this thing without any thing else, but he still has
to go through County inspection, Angela and all the red tape,
there are so many regulations that it is unbelievable. Merves
said so as to get this clear in his mind the only different
between the sketch plan and the site plan is the engineering
documents? O'Neill stated that every project that O'Dell is
1
1
1
involved in is first class. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Mayor Parker announced that the two newly elected
councilmembers are present tonight.
Pearce moved to accept the Board of Election certification
of the numbers in the November election. Hosti seconded. Vote by
Council was unanimous. (Copy attached)
Farmer said that last summer the Beach Task Force asked
Olsen Associates be given a contract to study the ocean front
around Second Street and also the Back River. We determined that
there is money available from the County to make a study for the
Second Street part of the beach. However, we also learned that
the Army Corps of Engineers are going to do their own study,
which will be complete in December and they will send that study
up to their headquarters for approval which would be about a 30
to 60 day period for approval. So the proposed study by Olsen
would be a duplication primary of the one Corps are going to do.
So instead of giving him that scope of work it is recommended
that we negotiate an alternate contract with Olsen to help us get
necessary State funding and also to provide consulting services
with the Army, and that should be considerably less than the
$50,000. and would probably be a better use of funding. You have
Olsen's proposal in your agenda packages and it says he would
look at alternate solutions to solve the Second Street part of
the beach problem and he would also look into somehow merging the
Savannah River deepening project with our beach renourishment
project. Parker stated that he would like ask that we have a
motion to approve a contract in concept only and let's negotiate
a price to come back to Council next meeting, because I do not
think Olsen is fully aware of what the Corps is trying to do.
Merves said that since we are going to get the results from the
Corps study next month then it seems like we should wait to get
that and then discuss what we need to do rather than entering
into some type of contract at this point. Parker said that Olsen
really needs to be negotiating with those people too because
their ideas vary and there could be compromise that we could do.
Youmans said that at a prior meeting that this amount was
approved for the Back River and why has it taken so long to get
a contract from this man? Parker said that we could have gotten a
contract at anytime. Youmans said then why hasn't anybody asked
for it? Parker answered that we were waiting for the Corps to
make their decision. Youmans stated that when the Corps was here
that they did not even mention out front all this time that is
not included in their bill they said that they might be able to
slip it in possibly, that corner was completely left out and all
the money was designated for Back River and around the corner.
Parker said that we did not get any money for the Back River,
that $100,000 that we asked for the Back River was not approved
by Chatham County. Youmans said he is talking about $8 million
that the Corps said that they are going to spend has nothing to
do with this point. Youmans asked where are we going top get the
money to do Second Street? Parker answered from the State
hopefully in the next couple of weeks, don't know if we are going
to make it or not, but we are going to ask for it. Pearce said
that he would like to support Farmer's proposal to negotiate with
1
1
1
Olsen for a cheaper price to get State funding and so moved for
Farmer to proceed. Youmans do we have anything in writing to the
engineers that are now studying what to do with point? Farmer
said yes, they made a presentation here where we briefed the
legislation delegation on what to ask for and part of the paper
work handed out at that meeting indicated that upon completion of
the current study, which is the Back River, the next phase would
be to study the Second Street area and then send that to
Washington and have both group activities approved for a total
project of everything. Included in the 8 million is the
renourishment of Second Street and along the beach front all the
way up the Back River and they believe that they can construct
groins within that 8 million dollars at the Second Street area,
if that is recommended by the engineers. If they could not get
more money to construct the groins then they would renourish the
beach less in exchange for building the groins and then let the
beach renourish itself with the help of new groins. Merves said
to build groins first, pumping sand without groins is a waste of
money, need to see study, then contract with Olsen to work with
Corps in placing the groins for the whole island. Remeta stated
that the Second Street people have been begging for help since 94
and we are losing good Tybee people. Remeta said that when we had
jetties every block it worked. Youmans asked Parker how the
engineers came to the conclusion that it was the Back River and
to put sand on the front? Farmer said the Corps had to do the
current study that they are just finishing up for the sole
purpose of adding the Back River area to the total project so in
order to do that they had to throw in words and some dollars
having to do with the whole beach as well as to come around the
Back River. Youmans said that there were 7 to 9 groins going on
the Back River and not one out front. Parker said that they had
3. Farmer said that it has to be done in phases, the first phase
was to look at only the back river to see what should be added
and that report will go to Washington within the next two weeks.
The next part is to include the Second Street area in the study
and figure out what should be done there and that will go to
Washington in December. O'Neill said that the Second Street area
is unique because it effects two property owners and it is
developed all the way up to the seawall. O'Neill asked if the
public will have access to it form Second Street to Second Place
through the blocks of houses there? O'Neill stated that if we
are going to pump money into area then he wants to make sure that
the public has access to it. O'Neill said that the Back River is
private property, that it goes back to the King's grant, and they
want to maintain as private but want the public to come up with
the money and I am not so sure that is a good idea and just throw
that out as consideration. Hosti said that the beach
renourishment stuff is the greatest racket in the world making
million of dollars. They don't want to put in groins, just pump
the sand. Hosti said that somebody to come in here and tell us
where they need to go. Also that Roger Dodge is not a rocket
scientist but he said if you dig a hole on the beach that it will
fill back in and if we go out in the ocean and dig a hole to fill
this beach up sand has to come from somewhere to go back in the
1
1
1
hole. Remeta asked Pearce about the satellite grant that Council
passed this year. Pearce said that the program did not pass
Federal government. O'Neill asked if this would be City money?
Parker said that it will come from the Local Option Sales Tax
from the County. Merves seconded Pearce's motion. Vote by Council
was unanimous.
Farmer said a letter dates November 7th has a recommended
recreation policy for Council to adopt. Farmer gave the
background on recreation. Council asked for a job description and
a budget amendment developed and that was presented and no action
taken since the election was right around the corner and there
was not enough time to analogize all the ends and outs. Farmer
said that on November 6th we held a meeting with representatives
from the YMCA, the Recreation Commission, the City Council, and
some volunteers that work with recreation, plus the recreation
director and myself. There are three parts 1.) Recreation
Commission should develop a revised recreation program plan that
list all the activities that would be in effect for next year and
that plan would come back to Council as a recommendation and then
Council could adopt; 2.) those things not provided for the City
to do there would be left over others, like in line hockey or
tumbling or something like that, we would negotiate a contract
agreement with YMCA for them to do it; all the fees would be the
same, so many dollars for younger kids and so many dollars for
adults 3.) total recreation budget would be proposed at $90,000.
for 98, part of the extra cost would provide for 1 and one half
persons in the recreation department would include a brand new
recreation director as well as half of one other person,plus some
part time help like summer in the park personnel. Fees would be
$10.00 for ages 5 to 14 and $25.00 for ages 15 to 45. Final part
of policy is for a new recreation director to be hired. We have
about 30 applicants. Remeta asked about 98 budget it states
$55,945. Farmer said that was a earlier draft, the information
you have now states $90,000. Hosti said that he told the
Recreation Commission that there are some problems with the
ordinances that needs correction and refinement. Merves moved to
approve this policy with one change and that is $10.00 for ages 5
to 14; $25.00 for ages 15 to 65 and no fee charge for those over
65 years old. Seconded by Pearce and O'Neill. Vote by Council was
unanimous.
Pearce moved to go into an executive session to discuss a
personnel matter. Hosti seconded.
Mayor Parker reconvened the regular meeting. Pearce moved to
grant Bob Fripp's request to be paid administrative leave time
and to pay him in full and to authorize Hughes and Farmer to come
back to Council with an ordinance on policy and control on number
of hours an employee can accrue. O'Neill seconded. Remeta asked
that a plaque be made for Mr. Fripp. Vote by Council was 5 in
favor (Youmans, Remeta, Hosti, Pearce, O'Neill); 1 oppose
(Merves) .
Pearce moved to approve the bonus for the employees. O'Neill
seconded. Merves asked if the amounts were based on years of
service? Parker answered yes. Vote by Council was 5 in favor
(Merves, Youmans, Remeta, Pearce, O'Neill; 1 opposed ( Hosti).

Youmans requested that any decision on the request from the
Savannah Beach Nursing home to pave a portion of a street be
delayed until the December llth Council meeting.
Pearce moved to authorize Hussey, Gay, Bell and DeYoung to
solicit bids for the water storage tank. Merves seconded. Parker
said that Council needs to approve the conditions. Vote by
Council was unanimous.
Youmans said that he does not agree to change the meeting
time of the second meeting of each month to 4 P.M. because the
people need to be here to see what Council does. Parker agreed,
but I think they should come once a month. Merves said that he
would like to see the meetings at 7 P.M. The times will remain
the same.
Merves said that he was concerned about two articles he read
in the paper last week about closed meeting taking place at
Tidelands and also an issue with the islands public schools.
Parker said that Council should not act on this as a body, but
Merves could call Secretary of State. Hughes said that actions
can be challenges within 90 days and maybe to contact the
Attorney General or the Secretary of State but thinks the City
should stay out of it.
Pearce moved that a letter be drafted to the DOT requesting
an ordinance change for Jones Avenue. The request should be for a
25 mile per hour speed limit and no passing on Jones Avenue.
Merves seconded. The DOT drafts the ordinance. Vote by Council
was 4 in favor (Merves, Hosti, Pearce, O'Neill); 2 opposed
(Youmans, Remeta). Youmans asked if we could drop the engineers
study since we are going to drop the speed limit? Pearce said
that the study would be for the whole island.
Pearce said that he understands from Zoning Administrator
Byers that nothing has been approved for the Horse Pen Creek
Cottages but there are some signs with drawings on the property.
The drawings do not fit with our zone R -2 for duplexes. Byers
said that the drawing is just a rendering of the proposal, the
people who are proposing this are here tonight and Byers would
like them to address. Mr. Jim King said that what would be on the
site plan is pretty much exactly what is on the sign. King said
that they looked for definitions of a duplex and they do qualify
as a duplex. Parker asked if they had checked the City
ordinances? King answered yes. Byers said our ordinance states
common wall. O'Neill said our ordinance does not state that in
Section 2 -010, Dwelling (b) Dwelling, Two Family or Duplex.
O'Neill read the definition to Council. Byers said that is
correct but if you go into the building codes it goes into
further to define multi family and it allows for the use of
sprinkler systems or a fire wall. O'Neill said that he was giving
the definition that was given to me on August llth. Byers said
that you also have to check into various sections because there
are still things that are scattered. Byers stated that multi
family requires either a fire wall or a sprinkler system, it does
not have to have the fire wall as defined in the duplex
definition and in V zone you can use a fire wall. Youmans said
that he thought we were speaking of some sort of a sign when this
conversation started. Youmans said that this is not supposed to
1
1
1
come before Council tonight. Parker said that the sign in
question advertises the property on Jones Avenue. Remeta said
that he thinks they are beautiful. Youmans agreed. Pearce said
that he thinks these are in violation and that they should go the
full extent before Planning Commission and back to Council.
Parker said they will. Pearce said that sometimes these projects
come before Council and sometimes they don't. Remeta asked what
was in violation? The common gazebo? Merves asked if these were
eight duplex lots. Youmans and O'Neill said that the owners have
not applied for any thing. Hughes said that the problem is if
this is in fact a duplex that they do not have to apply for
anything other than the building permit if the code exists
because they have 4 lots and they could 8 duplexes on those lots
without asking for site plan approval or anything else. The issue
has come up as to whether or not what is proposed here is a
duplex or not, because they are not adjoining. Merves said that
are they eight single units or 4 duplexes. Hughes said that as a
practical matter it does not effect this or anything else whether
the two of them abut each other or not. Remeta said that in R -2
you can build 4,600 square feet. Byers said that the lot size
they have meets duplex requirements, I believe the lots are in
excess of what is needed. King explained the drawings of the two
different footprints, the intent was to design a cottage typical
of the 20's and 30's. Parker asked what is the width of the
separation. King replied 20 feet. Remeta asked what is the square
footage of Lot 5? King said that Lot 5 would be about 3,800
square feet. Remeta said a single family is 4,500 square feet.
Pearce asked King if he had any problem going through the
process. King answered that he has checked with the County and
your City personnel and there was no problems. King stated that
they have spent $30,000 so far in fees and surveys and hesitant
to answer yes or no, but I would probably say no. Byers said that
in one day she had three different contractors come in with this
concept, first question was is this a duplex? Byers said she
faxed to Gregory Anderson at Chatham County and he told me this
should be treated as in the same manner as if you had an
apartment building that had two side by side and a common
entrance as a breezeway it is the same thing in his opinion it
constitutes a duplex. Parker asked for the City Attorneys'
opinion. Hughes said that the only definition of duplex in our
ordinance makes reference to connected by a fire wall or if the
units are positioned vertically, by type one floor and ceiling
construction where units are joined, the only realistic reading
of this contemplates abutting buildings but there is really no
reason to have that. Youmans said that doesn't it say somewhere
that if you sprinkle you don't have to have a fire wall. Byers
said under the code under the fire section. Byers said that you
look at the number of kitchens more so than the common wall.
Parker asked King if these would be sprinkled? King answered yes
sir. Hughes said he would consider this a duplex and I think our
code contemplates abutting buildings, though it would not take
much to straighten out the ordinance and make this a duplex under
our own ordinance.
Parker announced that a workshop will be held on November
1
1
1
20th at 6 P.M. on the Land Development Code and Cellular Towers.
A workshop on the CUTS recommendations will be held at 7 P.M.
Pearce moved to adopt Section 3 -2 -41 Hotel Motel Imposition
of Tax on its first reading. Youmans seconded. Vote by Council
was unanimous.
Hosti said that in the gym fund we have a total of
$89,810.33. The $1,330.89 is from Mr. Bettencourts' time when the
Lighthouse Point Condo donated $1,000 towards recreation. Parker
said that he thinks that we have more money than is stated on
this paper and Ms. Pagan will have to do some research to bring
it up to date. Ms. Pagan said it is a little more involved than
it looks.
Youmans moved that no more engineering study be approved
until we know where the monies are coming from to pay for the
different projects. Hosti seconded. Merves stated that we don't
need to do that, we need to take each study separately. Vote by
Council was 5 in favor (Youmans, Remeta, Hosti, Pearce, O'Neill);
1 opposed (Merves).
The following code section were read for the second time.
Section 10 -1 -35 Free Parking Decal - Authorized - moved by
Pearce; seconded by Hosti. Unanimous vote by Council.
Section 10 -1 -36 Period; Condition for Issuance - moved by Pearce;
seconded by Hosti. Unanimous vote by Council.
Section 10 -1 -37 Same -- Display on Vehicle: Design, etc. - moved by
Pearce; seconded by Youmans. Unanimous vote by Council.
Section 10 -1 -38 Same- -Tax Payment Required in Person - moved by
Pearce; seconded by Youmans. Unanimous vote by Council.
Section 10 -1 -39 Same -- Misuse of Decal Forfeiture of Free Decal -
moved by Pearce; seconded by Youmans. Unanimous vote by Council.
Pearce moved to approve the bills for the month of October.
Merves seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Assistant City Manager Fripp said that the 97 budget
adjustment is for information only at this time.
Council agreed to advertise for an ordinance change in
compensation for Mayor and Council for the December 11th meeting.
As there was no further business to come before Council the
meeting was adjourned.

RECREATION POLICY ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL ON 11/13/97
"It is the policy of this City Council that the following
shall occur:
A. The Recreation Commission shall develop a Recreation
Program Plan For 1998, consisting of a schedule of
recreational programs, sports, and activities, developed by
combining their previously developed recommendation with the
previously developed YMCA recommendation, with appropriate
adjustments and additions. This Plan shall be presented to
City Council, and after approval, implemented by the City
Manager. In those instances where insufficient participant
interest is demonstrated, the City Manager may cancel specific
planned programs, sports, and activities.
B. The City Manager shall negotiate an agreement with the
YMCA specifying a schedule of recreational programs, sports,
and activities which the YMCA shall plan to implement. Where
insufficient participant interest is demonstrated, the YMCA
and City Manager may cancel specific planned programs, sports,
and activities. The initial plan for YMCA implementation will
most likely include an after school program, hockey for youth,
game room operations, aerobics for adults, gymnastics, active
older adults programs, and an adult fitness center.
C. The 1998 Recreation Budget shall be planned with
expenditures of $90,00.0, with formal adoption to be
accomplished during the regular City Budget Adoption Process.
Fees for participants, whether coordinated by the City
Recreation Director or the YMCA, shall follow these
guidelines: $10.00 for ages 5 -14; $25.00 for ages 15 -65, and
for ages 65 and above, $00.00. The City Budget shall contain
appropriate amounts to be paid to the YMCA to render approved
programs, sports, and activities economically viable.
D. The City Manager shall hire a new Recreation Director as
soon as practicable, together with other part -time staff as
may be needed, utilizing the current Recreation Director
within the Recreation Department and the Parking Services
Department as necessary and appropriate."
