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 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 1 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). 1 1 1 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. Mayor Walter W.
